You don't understand the happiness of the director

"It's on fire, Master, it's on fire!"

At Yang Mi's house, she has already obtained the ratings for the first episode of "Bu Bu Jing Xin". The last episode of the drama that followed was 1.31%, while "Bu Bu Jing Xin" was 1.61%!

This drama is broadcast on Mango Channel. It will be easy for the ratings to break 2 in the future. Of course, it cannot be compared with the ratings of "The Temptation of Going Home" which broke 5.

But Yang Mi is very satisfied. What she wants is this feeling of being popular but not particularly popular.

While the two of them were celebrating, Yaya secretly sent a text message to the director and actor Chen Sicheng, who had been expressing love for her openly and secretly during the filming of "Northern Love", and clearly rejected him because, maybe she could have a better life. The choice was made.

The day before the release of "Let the Bullets Fly", the box office of "The Lost Boys" exceeded 200 million in nine days, and the film was simultaneously released in Neon, Kimchi, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and major box offices in Southeast Asia.

After all, it is not the original version of Kimchi Country. It is unrealistic to reach the original 13 million moviegoers. However, it surprisingly received 3 million moviegoers in two weeks. If converted into RMB, it would be about 150 million.

Korean movies are not doing well this year. With this result, it is certain that it will enter the top ten in Kimchi Country. It will not be a problem to exceed 4 million in the end.

This is mainly due to Kimchi Party actor Yuan Bin. This year, his starring role in "Uncle" was a big hit in Kimchi Country and won the annual box office championship. At this time, he was at the peak of his popularity. Although he is not the absolute male protagonist, his role in the role It's brilliant, coupled with the high quality of the film, it has become a new peak for Chinese-language films in Kimchi Country.

This point has also been trumpeted by the domestic media. Wang Dao's strategy of conquering the world and Asia first has been guessed by some people.

In Neon, the box office is not that high. Live-action movies are just like this, and Yui Aragaki is useless. The box office in nine days is only 500 million yen, which is equivalent to RMB24 million. The final box office is probably 800 million yen.

Although it is not comparable to "Red Cliff" and "Hero", it is already the best-performing Chinese film in recent years. The last time it received such a high box office was the Hong Kong movie "Initial D" adapted from Neon Comics. I still made some money in my life.

However, during this period, there was a Chinese-language film in Neon that was more popular than "Secretary", and that was Liu Yifei's "Human Fireworks".

Although the box office is not too high every day, it is very average. In the half month since its release, the box office has reached 400 million yen, exceeding the 350 million yen of Director Huo's previous "Naren, Mountain, and Dog". And according to this trend, sooner or later, It will surpass "The Treasure Hunt". Sure enough, there is a market for this kind of refreshing and healing movie in Neon.

In addition, the film has also achieved good box office in Hong Kong and Bay Area. The box office in Hong Kong is HK$30 million, which is expected to surpass the HK$42 million of "Ip Man 2" and become the annual box office champion of Chinese films.

It is also worth mentioning that the annual box office champion in Hong Kong at this time is "Twilight 5", with a box office of 110 million Hong Kong dollars. It is also the fourth film in Hong Kong and the second King Power film to exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

As for markets such as Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, they all have good performances. It can be predicted that "The Treasure Hunt" will definitely be the strongest Chinese-language film overseas this year, and the global box office is even expected to exceed "Earthquake" and the upcoming "Earthquake" "Let the bullets fly".

The next day, "Bullet" finally came. The movie was released on Thursday, the 16th, and it earned 31 million at the box office on the first day. Although it was very popular, it did not have the big explosion that Feng Xiaogang was worried about. When he was "big" "Earthquake" was also on Thursday and grossed 36 million at the box office.

After all, there were so many hot movies at the same time, and it was impossible for theaters to schedule all the movies for him. "Bullet" only received 35% of the movie schedules on the first day.

In the box office rankings that day, Bullet ranked first, Seize second, and third was "Twilight 5," which had been released for a month, followed by "The Orphan of Zhao" and "Big Bang."

However, soon Xingmei Media, the producer of "The Orphan of Zhao", issued a press release, criticizing some theaters for stealing box office, and their box office was actually higher.

Immediately afterwards, Qiankun, the publisher of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes", also issued a similar statement, condemning this violation of industry rules.

Wang Quan also specifically inquired with Lao Wang.

As lightweight digital copies become more and more popular, the scale of distribution is also getting larger and larger. When originally issued, heavy and clumsy copies had to be circulated to lower-level markets one by one, but now they can directly cover the first, second, and third tier markets. , At this time, it is inevitable that some lower-level markets will have such unruly behavior.

Even if they are connected to the Internet, they do not issue tickets through the system, but directly write the tickets by hand, so that the money falls into the hands of the cinema itself.

As for the situation where the ticket money stolen from one movie is counted as another movie, it is relatively rare. Some people say that different movies have different splits. Come on, if you steal everything, don't you keep it all for yourself?

As long as tickets are purchased offline, this situation may happen, but online ticket purchasing can nip this situation in the bud.

After listening to Lao Wang talk about these industry phenomena, Wang Quan asked: "Can this kind of story be cracked down on?"

"Yes, they can be fined, cut off their film sources, and shut down for rectification. But it's useless to attack one company. The whole industry has to attack together."

Wang Quan asked, "Then why not do this?"

Lao Wang thought for a while, "Maybe he is waiting for someone with enough appeal to raise his voice."

Wang Quan knew that this person was himself!

However, Wang Quan did not act in a hurry. Instead, he urgently established an investigation company named "One for Ten" and mobilized cheap labor such as college students to investigate and supervise irregularities such as movie theaters stealing box office tickets.

Five days later, the first wave of reports came out. In first-tier cities, 3 out of 100 movie studios had the above violations.

In second-tier cities, there are 8 out of 100 companies.

In third-tier cities, there are 13 out of 100.

In fourth-tier cities, shockingly, out of 100 movie theaters, as many as 24 operate in violation of regulations!

Not all tickets are stolen from these 24% of movie theaters. 45% of the tickets purchased online cannot be stolen. The other part of the membership tickets cannot be manipulated. The ones that can be stolen are basically loose tickets purchased on the spot.

Of course, they only stole them every few times. It’s hard to say whether it was the boss’s instruction or the employee’s private behavior. In short, the situation can be said to be very serious.

So that day, Wang Quan called Han Sanping and proposed that he would set up a theater supervision company that would unite several major domestic film companies to normalize the kind of investigations he had done before. If any violations were discovered, they could jointly ban them and not give them to the other party. Send copies so that he has no films to film.

This kind of thing must involve China Film and Television. If state-owned enterprises do not get involved, these cinemas will still be able to release foreign language films, then they may not know what it means to be afraid.

Looking at the data provided by Wang Quan, Han Sanping was very angry. In order to make the domestic box office figures look better, he could say that he had tried every means possible, but he did not expect that someone would hold him back. This is absolutely intolerable!

However, Han Sanping believes that this company does not need too many movie companies to join. It only needs to select powerful large companies to join. The words of these companies will be enough to deter dishonest movie theaters.

King Quan understood and put unlimited power in the hands of limited people. He asked: "Then which families need to be invited?"

Han Sanping smiled and said, "You came up with this idea, and of course you decide the list."

In addition to China Film, Huaying, and Wangdao, Wang Quan thought for a moment, "Qiankun, Huayi."

Huayi is definitely qualified. As for Qiankun, his performance this year is mediocre, but who makes Wang Quan his boss?

Then Wang Quan brought up Bona. This company has good relations with Hong Kong. Most Hong Kong films enter the mainland through Bona.

There are six companies, two state-owned enterprises and four private companies.

Finally, I thought about it and added Xingmei and Guangguang. These two companies are also quite powerful.

Wang Quan would like to leave a seat for Wanda, but Wanda has not officially entered the film production industry yet. As a pure theater side, they are the party to be supervised.

Wang Quan said to Lao Han, "I previously established a company called One to Ten, which specializes in surveys. The data you have were produced by this company. We can directly use the skin of this company, and then the eight companies will jointly hold it. have."

"One is worth ten, it's a good name. These companies are all leaders in the industry, but one is worth ten." Han Sanping said with a smile.

Wang Quan added: "And we have to agree not to add new members unless some old members voluntarily or are forced to quit."

Han Sanping thought about it for a moment and suddenly understood, "You are going to be China's MPAA (American Motion Picture Association)!"

The MPAA can make many rules, but in China, most of the rules are made by the government. It is not as good as the MPAA, which can rate movies. However, it is difficult for YYDS to have review rights, but it can gradually penetrate and expand its influence. First Take advantage of unruly movie theaters to establish their power.

Wang Quan also laughed, "Hollywood has six major brands, and China has eight major brands. In the future, it may become a century-old store and classic label that has been passed down for hundreds of years."

However, China Film and Television are all official, and many times they are not included when taking inventory of film companies, so there are still six major patterns.

Wangdao, Huayi, Qiankun, Bona, Xingmei, Light.

They can be regarded as the first generation of the top six in the Chinese film world. As for who will stay after the big waves, it is hard to say, hard to say.

The box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" keeps rising, getting higher every day. It reached 185 million in the first four days, surpassing the 183 million first-week box office of "Tangshan Earthquake". This made Feng Xiaogang feel a little uneasy. In this kind of uneasiness, "If You Are the One 2" is also about to be released.

The publicity work was in full swing. Zhang Yimou, who was filming in Jinling, suddenly announced that he was married and had two sons and a daughter with his second wife.

According to current regulations, this is illegal and requires a fine, and the fine is based on income. With Zhang Yimou's income, the fine will not be small.

Although Lao Mouzi suddenly made such a fuss and stole some of the attention of "Fei Cheng 2", Feng Xiaogang could only rejoice in his misfortune. It was better for him. One biological child and one adopted child were both little cotton-padded jackets. He wanted He said that Lao Zhang’s thinking is still too traditional.

Feng Xiaogang was feeling proud in the company when he met Wang Zhongjun, who was smiling and proud.

"Chinese Army, is there something good going on?"

Wang Zhongjun smiled proudly and said, "Director Feng, from now on our Huayike will be one of the six major private film companies in China!"

Feng Xiaogang was surprised, "What's the big six? We are obviously the number one."

Wang Quan: Huh?

"It's different, this is different~" Wang Zhongjun recalled the phone call Wang Quan made and laughed again~

(If it’s not enough, I’ll make up for it tomorrow)
