Perfect Life

How big is the overall size of the domestic movie box office market?

To be honest, the basic construction that should be done, and the training of the audience that should be there, in Li Qian's view, most of them have been completed, and the foundation of the overall box office exhibition has been solidified. In 1999, after the avalanche of the Chinese film box office market, "Titanic" still managed to get a Chinese box office of 6.2 billion yuan (equivalent to 3.1 billion U.S. dollars). You can see that the domestic box office foundation is solid.

Is it difficult for a good-looking, well-received movie with enough attention from theaters and strong publicity to earn 100 million at the box office in a single week?

Absolutely not!

It's not difficult!

At least, based on Liu Chengzhang's popularity and his talent, this is absolutely possible!

So, the total box office of a single work exceeds 400 million or 500 million, is it possible?

Totally possible!

As long as your work is good enough!

Before the avalanche of the box office market, the total annual volume of the domestic box office market had reached the level of 800 million yuan. After the cliff-like decline, a large number of low-end equipment, small venues, poor viewing experience and poor management were shut down in China. of old cinemas, but also built, renovated and integrated a lot of new cinema halls! On the whole, under the pressure of the market, the entire movie projection market has achieved a technological upgrade. In fact, the overall carrying capacity of movie viewing has increased instead of falling.

Last year's market cap was more than 5 billion yuan, but in fact, if the movie is good enough, the market already has the carrying capacity to sell more than 10 billion yuan at the box office a year!

Therefore, a movie with a box office of 450 million yuan is only, let alone one, the current domestic film market is actually capable of producing several movies a year!

Just watching your movie can make everyone think it's worth watching!

In Li Qian's view, based on the 20 years of domestic film exhibitions he has experienced in another time and space, and the keen intuition obtained by the detours that the filmmakers as a whole have gone through, he is in Liu Chengzhang and Liu Chengzhang. In the "Sword Immortal", there are clearly many shadows of that other time and space.

Although the investment is huge, and although Liu Chengzhang has indeed been very attentive, the 300 million box office is definitely a big barrier for this "Sword Immortal"!

And Li Qian is more inclined to think that it can't pass this level!

So, Ming Xiaojing had to sit there and get sullen.

Li Qian was smoking a cigar, Zhao He also lit a cigarette, and the house was filled with smoke.

Ming Xiaojing angrily fanned the smoke in front of him.

Zhao He wisely got up and opened the door and called someone. Sun Yuting heard the call and brought someone over to clean up the table where they were eating watermelon, and then Zhao He also left.

When only Li Qian and Ming Xiaojing were left in the room, Li Qian said: "Sister, I am also a director, and I have a group of directors growing up under my command, so I am willing to make a friend of Director Liu. I also admire his talent, but I don't plan to hold him because I have no interest in him."

Ming Xiaojing was surprised to hear that.

But after a moment, she nodded slowly.

Well... even if I only talk about the job of a film director, Li Qian's talent is already at the forefront of his first test, and no one can say how far he can go in the future. At least in his first test, he has already produced a work like "My Sassy Girl", which has become popular at the box office.

And considering his years of experience in the music world, from blockbuster to skyrocketing, from very high to the highest, from the highest to the highest and the highest that no one can match... It is really easy to make people think about him in the film and television industry. The future is also very optimistic!

Moreover, as he himself said, he is not alone. His Minghu culture has now gained a firm foothold in the film and television industry. Jin Han, Han Shunzhang and others have already begun to provoke the lead.

Liu Chengzhang may be very talented. For capital, he is a top talent that is sought after by thousands of dollars. For actors, he is a character who must go and shoot horses, but for Li Qian, he is just a friend who everyone can talk about. It's just people who will be pulled down if they don't come.

Even his attributes as a great director are completely dispensable to Li Qian.

Wanting to understand this, Ming Xiaojing sighed for no reason.

Li Qian smiled and smoked a cigar freely.

Ming Xiaojing glanced up at him, his tone changed slightly, much softer, "Hey, Qian'er, do you think...I have the talent to be a director?"

Li Qian was surprised when he heard this, turned his head to look at her, but suddenly smiled again.

Smiling, he put down Erlang's legs and said, "Pull investment?"

Seeing his smile, Ming Xiaojing immediately wanted to kick him, "What's the matter? What's wrong with asking you for investment?"

Li Qian smiled, thought about it, and said, "If it is less than two million, you can just bring it and I will sign it for you. If it is over two million, then you have to go through the process. You can't even be my sister."

Ming Xiaojing stared, as if he was about to jump, but he restrained himself, "Your company's rules? Or do you think I'm worth two million?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "It's a rule. Besides, I'm too familiar with you, which will affect judgment, so I won't decide this matter."

Ming Xiaojing nodded and said, "Also."

Li Qian asked, "Why did you suddenly want to be a director?"

Ming Xiaojing shrugged, "I just think... I have some ideas, so I want to photograph it!"

Li Qian nodded and asked again, "Mr. Hu doesn't support it?"

Ming Xiaojing shrugged again, "I haven't shown him yet, aren't you my brother, and you are both a successful director and a successful boss, Lao Hu is just a big boss, and Master Qin is just an artist, in my opinion , their vision should not be as good as yours! At least to me, the reference significance of your opinion is more important."

Li Qian thought about it, but he was not polite, but asked seriously: "Is there a script?"

Ming Xiaojing said: "Not yet, I just made a rough outline of the story myself."

Li Qian said: "In that case, you go back to our company, Lao Han is in the company, you can find President Qi, let them take you to chat with our company's screenwriting team, and let them make a script for you. Their abilities are still acceptable, and it’s not a big problem to make a first draft. With the script, let’s talk more deeply.”

Ming Xiaojing nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!"

…………

The next morning, Ming Xiaojing flashed happily.

The filming of "Once Upon a Time" began to enter the smoothest and most efficient stage.

The shooting progress of the entire crew is advancing very fast.

During this period, the news of the box office explosion of "Sword Immortal" quickly spread to every corner of the country, not to mention the film and television city, which is already in the circle?

For a while, it seems that you are out of date if you haven't watched "Sword Immortal"!

Even the crew of "Once Upon a Time" took a short half-day off. All those who were willing to go to the movies, the crew paid for the ride, organized everyone to watch the movie together, and even secretly released news ahead of time, attracting a lot of attention. Help the reporter run over ahead of time and wait, and sure enough, Li Qian was "blocked".

As a result, they were chasing after the interviews, and the news that Li Qian praised "Sword Immortal" a lot, together with the photos of some reporters who wanted to put the microphone on Li Qian's face, and the name of a crew called "Once Upon a Time". , became an important entertainment news reported by many media the next day - even if it was a small favor for Liu Chengzhang, it was a matter of convenience and no expense, and I also did a little bit for "Once Upon a Time" Some foreshadowing.

As a result, Li Qian was determined not to think of it, and that night, Liu Chengzhang took the initiative to call.

His voice was very high, and there was excitement in his words, although he was thankful, but he was proud, "Li Qian, thank you! As soon as the news of yours comes out, it is estimated that you can pull it up again. !"

Li Qian smiled, "How's the film schedule this week?"

Liu Chengzhang said excitedly: "I have added a lot this week, and now there are a little more than 3,000 canvases! The film layout rate in medium and large cities can account for about 55%! In the whole country, it should be more than 40%! Wait until tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, it will still be affected, but I am not afraid of it!"

Li Qian pursed his lips, nodded, and said sincerely: "Mr. Hu's ability to operate and perform is indeed very strong!"

Liu Chengzhang laughed twice.

Although he was proud, he held back and didn't mention that Li Qian wanted to apologize to himself.

After hanging up the phone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Qian sighed involuntarily.

That's right, the powerful special effects, the director's reputation, and Hu Fei's powerful ability to publicize, act and operate have all made the movie "Sword Immortal" a big hit, but its hidden dangers are already obvious!

The negative comments on the Internet, let’s not mention it, some related media, especially the vicious words of several big-name film critics, culturalists and writers, can also be ignored for the time being. Li Qian has clearly heard everyone's private whispers - the special effects are all praised by everyone, but apart from the special effects, the story, characters, etc. of this film are really lackluster!

Like Zhou Baoshan, they have limited ability to grasp the film as a whole. On the way back, they will discuss with great interest how beautiful and how awesome the special effects of this film are, but basically no one will comment on it after watching the film. A certain character or a certain plot of the story left a particularly deep impression, or even could not help discussing and arguing - this basically represents the failure of the story and characterization!

And several relatively high-level professionals, such as Zhao He, Feng Bicheng, and Lu Lingxi, also expressed considerable confusion and doubts about the core of the film's story - this does not seem to be Liu Chengzhang's director. Level! You know, even before the big sale of "The Swordsman and the Monk", he has always been the kind of person who can always play some new ideas on the basis of telling the story well!

But this film, although the special effects are very gorgeous, it gives everyone the feeling that he missed it!

What's more, just tomorrow, July 22, its real big rival, the Hollywood blockbuster "Future World", is coming! That is a money-sucking monster that is said to have invested 200 million US dollars and scored 1o2.37 million US dollars at the box office in North America during its release week!
