Chapter 914 One pit after another

"Flying Tiger Pioneer" did not have any big competitors before it was released, and with the inclination of theaters such as Tianchen, the results are not bad.

But without contrast there is no harm.

As soon as "Home Alone" was released, "Flying Tiger Pioneer" immediately became a hit, not only at the box office, but also at the word of mouth.

What is particularly interesting is that "Home Alone" has an obvious Hong Kong film style, but it turned out to be written by Lin Xiao.

It has to be said to be an irony.

The saddest thing in life is that others beat you in your way in your proudest place.

"Home Alone" and "Flying Tiger Pioneer" are not films of the same level. They were used for comparison mainly because the two films collided and were released together.

Then "Flying Tiger Pioneer" is the first film that guarantees success after completion of the film, and "Home Alone" is also known as the first domestic film of all ages in the true sense.

Needless to say, the box office of "Home Alone" is nearly 2 million Chinese dollars on the first day. Although this figure cannot be said to be Lin Xiao's best-selling film, it still makes countless people envious.

"Flying Tiger Pioneer" was unlucky. The first-day box office of nearly 5000 million on the first day seemed to be very good, but the result was directly due to the impact of the film schedule and "Home Alone" on the second day, coupled with word-of-mouth. It was broken in the middle, and it was only in the early 2000 million.

In the end, the box office should exceed [-] million yuan, but it is basically impossible to recover the "cost" at the box office, and losses are already doomed.

Of course, this is nothing to the Tianmeng Guarantee, after all, the completion guarantee of the Tianmeng Guarantee ended after "Flying Tiger Pioneer" was released.

So in terms of film completion guarantee, "Flying Tiger Pioneer" can indeed be regarded as the first successful case of Tianmeng guarantee.

Although Chen Zhengmeng was a little depressed, he was quite satisfied with the result. Anyway, he had earned the money a long time ago, and the market did not perform well, which he could not guarantee.

Then, bumping into Lin Xiao's "Home Alone", it's not a crime of war.Investors can't say anything, can they?
However, at this moment, Yang Tianqi looked at the information in his hand with a frown.

This information is a new project of Chen Zhengmeng's Zhengyang Film and Television.

Why did it appear in Yang Tianqi's hands?Because of the completion guarantee, of course.

That's right, for the new project of Zhengyang Film and Television, they still come to Tianmeng to guarantee the completion of the film. Logically speaking, this is a good thing for Tianmeng's guarantee, but Yang Tianqi really doesn't want to take this business of completion guarantee .

Why?Because of this completion guarantee project, the total investment budget is as high as 2.5 million!
"Legend of Fu Mo" is a new project of Zhengyang Film and Television. The script of "Legend of Fu Mo" is quite satisfactory, based on the folklore of Huaguo, the story of Zhong Kui.

This is actually not the point, the point is, the investment budget of 2.5 million!

Although the first "Flying Tiger Pioneer" was as high as 1.3 million, but at that time, Tianmeng guaranteed that heavyweight business was urgently needed to increase popularity, so even if he knew Chen Zhengmeng's past, Yang Tianqi still took it in the end.

But now, Chen Zhengmeng's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, which makes Yang Tianqi also start to fall into hesitation.

It seems that the Tianmeng Guarantee seems to have won a lot of business before, but in fact, Yang Tianqi knows the level of these projects.

The point is that so far, there is still no giant film to buy this completion guarantee.

However, before Yang Tianqi could make a decision, something went wrong with the completion guarantee project.

Lou Yue is known as the representative figure of the sixth generation of directors in Huaguo. In his early years, Lou Yue's works won many international awards, but the sixth generation of directors all have one thing in common, that is, the films they like to make are all a bit over the top. Wire.

Lou Yue has been banned for many years, and the freeze was only released two years ago.

Nowadays, hot money enters the film market, but most of the favored films are commercial films.

It has been very difficult for Lou Yue to fool those rich people into investing in these two years, because the facts have proved that literary films, especially those made by people like Lou Yue, will still lose money even if they win awards. The key point is that European Film festivals are paying less and less attention to Chinese-language films, and the awards have not gone to Chinese-language films for many years.

It is basically difficult for Lou Yue's films to be released in the Mainland.

At this time, the Tianmeng Guarantee appeared, and Lou Yue knew that the opportunity had come.

Lou Yue is quite well-known in the movie industry. After all, he has won many awards, but his biggest problem is that most of the time, his movies are easy to pass the line, but he is unwilling to change. Unwilling to compromise.

Therefore, as a result, Lou Yue's films have a very low real "completion rate".

This completion rate does not mean that Lou Yue has not finished the film but that it cannot be released.

Completion guarantee is to guarantee a film from project approval to release, and if the last film cannot be released, then everything will be in vain.

Lou Yue played tricks this time.

The movie "The Murderer" is Lou Yue's new project. When he first raised the investment and the completion guarantee guaranteed by Tianmeng, the script he gave was a good suspenseful crime movie.

Although this kind of theme is relatively small, but the previous "Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Last Bone" have achieved good results, so it proves that there is still a market.

And Lou Yue learned a good lesson this time, his script was first passed the trial before it was given to Tianmeng as a guarantee.

In the end, he still got the film completion guarantee guaranteed by Tianmeng, and then, Lou Yue took the film completion guarantee contract to solicit investment.

When others see Lou Yue's name, their first reaction is that this girl is going to make another banned movie, right?
Then, Lou Yue took out the qualification certificate that the script had passed the review, and also took out the completion guarantee contract guaranteed by the Tianmeng.

In addition, the script of "The Murderer" is indeed based on commercial films, which does not match the previous Lou Yue's style, but according to Lou Yue's words, he also needs to keep pace with the times, so I want to try Check out the commercial.

The investment budget of "The Murderer" is 3800 million!
This figure is not too high, but it is definitely not low, but with the completion guarantee from Tianmeng and the script has been reviewed, Lou Yue still got the investment.

It's just that those investors didn't know at all that after Lou Yue got the investment, he didn't follow the script at all, but kept changing the script and bringing in private goods.

There is a very critical point about the sixth generation of directors, that is, most of their movies have large-scale scenes.

They euphemistically call it "art"!
In commercial movies, even if the hero and heroine have sex, at most it will be a scene of undressing and getting up, but Lou Yue and his group will never do this.

They will shoot from beginning to end. According to them, if you don't shoot like this, you will lose the artistic atmosphere.
