381. Premiere
Although the project "Sniper Telephone Booth" has not been released yet, it will perform very well when watching the film and has won unanimous recognition.
What does this mean? It means that Huaxin will have a very high-quality and reliable film source next, and it will be a continuous stream, because Su Zhen, Dou Qingle and others are still newcomers, but after a movie is released, they will no longer be pure newcomers.
And this is the most critical thing for Huaxin.
Although Huaxin's path to giants still needs to continue to move forward, it has already possessed the prototype of a giant.
First of all, there is no need to say much about the theater. Secondly, director Yang Long is the bottom of the box, and can be said to be the finale, and then a first-line director like Wang Yifan. Later, if Xu Cang can make a big hit in "Silk Play", he will be promoted to a famous director. The next echelon is Su Zhen, the direct directors trained by Hua Xin himself.
These are enough to make Huaxin stand tall in the Chinese film industry.
However, compared to Lin Hu's birth, Dai Xinyue, Wang Yifan's old acquaintance, has been a little forced to smile recently.
After the light and shadow of the times changed, the first movie was "The Battlefield of Mars" that collaborated with Jiuzhou of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. But who would have thought that Chen Hang, who has always maintained an undefeated golden body, also had a time to miss his feet.
Afterwards, Times Light and Shadow released several movies on its own, but I don’t know if it was bad luck or something, but in the end, none of them were reliable.
Dai Xinyue was also worried about this, especially after seeing her return to Huaxin, Wang Yifan not only had her own movies as reliable as ever, but also made small-cost movies, which could also make a splash.
By comparison, Dai Xinyue naturally felt better.
Originally, if Wang Yifan and Times Light and Shadow continued to collaborate with Times Light and Shadow, then this film would also belong to Times Light and Shadow, but now, she is just a guest.
Moreover, Dai Xinyue's situation is not good. After Dai Ziyang came on stage, the performance of Times Light and Shadow did not improve at all. Instead, she lost the core director Wang Yifan, so her pressure was particularly great.
"Mr. Dai, long time no see." Wang Yifan and Zhang Zirong joined hands with him. Seeing Dai Xinyue, he stepped forward and said hello.
"Yes, long time no see, congratulations." Dai Xinyue said with a smile.
"Actually, the cooperation with Director Wang has always been very pleasant, which is a pity." Dai Xinyue said with some complexity.
"Mr. Dai, we can still cooperate, but in fact we can still cooperate." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Dai Xinyue was a little surprised and asked, "What is Director Wang's direction?"
Wang Yifan smiled and said, "Let's start with the cooperation between the times and the Jiuzhou of the prosperous Tang Dynasty."
Dai Xinyue was stunned for a moment. In fact, cooperation and competition coexisted between the major giants, so what Wang Yifan said was correct.
"Then I took it seriously. If Director Wang has any good projects, don't forget the light and shadow of our times." Dai Xinyue said with a smile.
"Please, Mr. Dai." Although Wang Yifan is not the director of "Silk Story" tonight, he is an investor after all, so he is considered the host.
After Dai Xinyue left, Lin Husheng came over: "Yifan, how are your new film being prepared?"
"The studio has been almost done, and Li Junsheng's training is almost done. Shooting should be started next week. Don't worry, even if the New Year's Day cannot catch up, there will definitely be no problem with the Spring Festival." Wang Yifan naturally knew why Lin Husheng was anxious. Huaxin is now in a hungry stage. The hardware is not bad, but the content is not bad.
"That's good. By the way, Chen Hang's new project in Jiuzhou, Shengtang, what do you think?" Lin Husheng asked.
"What? Mr. Lin is interested in Chen Hang's project?" Wang Yifan asked in surprise.
"After all, it is a large production of 200 million US dollars. Such a film requires multiple joint operations, so Jiuzhou, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, also came to ask us about Huaxin. I am an expert in the management company, but you are an expert in movies, so I want to hear your ideas." Lin Husheng said with a smile.
"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic." Wang Yifan thought about it and said.
"Oh? Why? Chen Hang still has the ability. Moreover, the script of this project actually came out a few years ago. However, at that time, neither the market nor Chen Hang had such appeal, so it was shelved by Chen Hang." Lin Husheng said.
"First of all, the production cost of 200 million US dollars is definitely not a small amount even in Hollywood, where the market is fully mature. The prospects of the movie must be considered. Such a project should be done through detailed market research, various investigations and feedback, and prove the prospects, and then it will enter the next stage. Obviously, Chen Hang's project has not been launched directly without going through this initial stage. From a commercial perspective, this is not desirable." Wang Yifan shook his head and said.
"Secondly, "The Six Realms" invested 200 million US dollars, plus promotion, that would be an astronomical figure. At present, our top Chinese movie is Yang Long's "Heroes Without Regrets", which is less than 300 million US dollars. So what we need to consider is how much box office does "The Six Realms" need to make a profit? Chen Hang is in China because he cannot surpass Yang Long, so he took a different approach. But this just proves that he is actually very guilty, or has no confidence. He doesn't even have the confidence to surpass Yang Long in the domestic box office, so how can he subvert the entire film and television industry? Even Hollywood movies. So, I am against investing in this film. Of course, we don't need to refuse other cooperation, but we join the ranks of joint distribution." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Lin Husheng nodded.
Why are bad movies frequently appearing in China? Many of them are even from the hands of successful well-known directors?
In fact, it is very simple, because Chinese movies are usually initiated by a company, but initiated by directors or screenwriters. Before they were initiated, they had never done any market research. Although it is difficult to ensure 100% accuracy after conducting market research, this is the safest way to reduce risks.
If it is a film that costs several million or tens of millions, for directors of Wang Yifan and Chen Hang at the same level, they can skip this step because to put it bluntly, they have rich experience in this area and have enough confidence.
However, when it comes to billions of Chinese currency investments, let alone Chen Hang, even Yang Long has no experience in this area.
So how do you ensure that the movie can be liked by the public? The key is that such a super blockbuster does not require the likes of a small number of viewers. If you don’t make such a movie into a phenomenal movie, it will be difficult for Yang Long to surpass this kind of movie in China.
So, the risk of this project is too great, too great!
