Chapter 487 The era of the rise of heroes

In mid-November, after two months of release, the total box office of "Life and Death" exceeded 70 million.

The annual New Year's Day holiday will be entered. The screening rate of "Life and Death" will drop to less than 10%, freeing up space for New Year's movies to be released.

No matter how domineering Han Sanping is, he cannot offend all film and television companies, and he still cannot control the theaters.

Others also need to make money, and you can’t take all the benefits alone. It’s already the limit to having these two months.

If it weren't for the above request, Southern theaters would directly remove "Life and Death Choice".

In fact, the 10% screening rate is much higher than other domestic films during the same period, and the box office exceeds 100 million by the end of the year.

As a director, Han Sanping is about to enter the 100 million yuan club.

This is not the first domestic film with a box office of over 100 million yuan. In the early 1980s, there was a detective suspense movie in China that had a box office of over 100 million yuan.

However, there are very few domestic films with box office of over 100 million yuan, and Han Sanping is proud of it.

The newspapers have almost all positive comments on "Life and Death Choice" and also held a film seminar to discuss how domestic main theme films are refined and how to win audiences, so as to achieve a double harvest of social and economic benefits.

This film has become a benchmark for domestic main theme movies.

The media is waiting for the day when its box office exceeds 100 million. After passing Hollywood blockbusters like "Titanic", they also need domestic movies that sell well at the box office to boost morale.

Han Sanping held a celebration meeting within the Beijing Film Studio, and Lin Zixuan, Yu Dong and others were invited.

Good Dream Company is the investor of "Life and Death Choice", and Lin Zixuan is the screenwriter. The honors received by the movie are from Good Dream Company.

It can be expected that the movie will win multiple awards at the Golden Bull Awards next year, which is the normal treatment of main theme films.

"Director Han has got what he wants now and has a broad future." Yu Dong said enviously.

Yu Dong has been out of the Beijing Film Studio for two years. He bought a house in Beijing and is in love. He lives a good life.

If he stayed at Beijing Film Studio, when Huaying Group was established, he might still have room for growth and the deputy section chief was transferred to a regular office.

Having advantages within the system is also beneficial in private film and television companies.

After two years of training, Yu Dong became familiar with the promotional operation of films, especially cooperation with overseas film companies, which are valuable experiences that cannot be obtained at Beijing Film Studios.

But Chinese people have an official mindset. Seeing Han San’s praise for his high praise, they are inevitably moved.

Moreover, how to deal with the relationship with Huaying Group in the future is an issue that all private film and television companies must consider.

"After the Chinese New Year, the domestic film industry may be reshuffled, so we must prepare early." Lin Zixuan said.

It has been six years since the policy was liberalized in 1993 and allowed private and overseas funds to enter the domestic film and television industry.

In Lin Zixuan's view, these six years have been a chaotic era. Everyone is moving forward in exploration, slowly adapting to the rules, finding the right position, and accumulating original capital and experience.

The next should be an era of strength and rise, and the competition will become increasingly fierce.

In other words, the wheel of history rolls forward, and an era of heroes rising together has arrived.

If people used to make small fuss and care about face, it would be hard to say in the future.

Good Dream Company currently has an advantage, but shooting the first bird is more likely to become the target of attack.

The crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" auditioned for the second time on the role of Yu Jiaolong, and selected five actors to enter the next round. Even if these five people cannot play the role of Yu Jiaolong, they can still play supporting roles in the film.

There are many supporting roles in the movie. After one or two months of training, they have this foundation.

The ten actors who were eliminated also have the opportunity to appear. Anyway, they have all been trained, so don’t waste it.

Of course, they are looking for the protagonist. If they play supporting roles or supporting roles, they will probably leave.

Zhang Ziyi was eliminated during this audition and was not included in the final five-person list.

Li An looked at Zhang Ziyi's training and felt that it was not very good.

Since Zhang Yimou's new film was in the later stages and was not very satisfied with some places, Zhang Ziyi took leave to take some shots and took a few more shots. After returning, the training did not keep up. Although she had a dance foundation, her performance was not in place.

Zhang Ziyi was admitted to the Beijing Theatre Academy in 1996 and is now a junior.

She has shortcomings in school education and accumulation of crew performance experience. Even though she filmed Zhang Yimou's movie, she is still a new actor.

Newcomers have not experienced too much social and acting skills. When doing expressions and movements, they are often unable to do so and cannot meet the requirements.

Her advantage lies in her very beautiful appearance. Her face has a variety of characteristics that makes people unpredictable. This is actually plasticity.

If there is enough time, Li An doesn't mind slowly guiding Zhang Ziyi. Every scene is designed and set standards for her, and let her perform and see how many possibilities are there.

This is how newcomers are, and directors must be patient enough.

Li An is under great pressure now and does not have that much patience. There is something wrong with the movie he shot in Hollywood.

The film, which invested 35 million US dollars and told the American Civil War, was held in New York. Directors and critics who have watched the film thought the film was very good.

American newspapers praised the film, believing that it was Li Yan's best movie at present.

But the audience's reaction was very cold.

Li An's previous films were liked by most people, but a few people didn't like them, and there would be a resounding among the audience, which was reflected in the box office, which was a box office hit and a high return on investment.

This is why Hollywood film companies are willing to give Li An a chance to make big productions. The ultimate concern for film companies is still interests.

This movie is a bit silent, and the audience is not excited when they watch it, and Li An can't figure out what's going on.

After receiving the news, Li An returned to the United States, participated in the film promotional activities, and communicated with the film company and producers. According to their estimates, the film may be compensated.

Films with the theme of the American Civil War were originally intended to be for American audiences, and it is difficult to sell in Europe.

Except for the UK, audiences in other European countries are not very interested in this type of video. Now American audiences do not buy it. If the video is well received or not, it would be strange if it is not a hit.

After Li An returned to the capital, the pressure increased greatly and the requirements for actors became stricter.

Zhang Ziyi performed poorly in this audition and was eliminated. Xu Jinglei was on the list of five and continued the next round of training.

Lin Zixuan didn't feel anything after hearing this news. When he reached his level, he didn't have to compete with an actor.

He has a lot of things to deal with every day, and it is just a small matter, and it will pass. (To be continued.)
