You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 685 ① Ten films ② Below Yi Fei ③ He is anxious ④ Scheduling fee ⑤ Golden Bamboo Award statistics completed

In order to take care of some elderly judges who are not very good at surfing the Internet, physical paper ballots were also mailed out two days after the online voting channel was opened.

Because mailing takes time, they need to mail the ballots back in advance, and once they are mailed, they cannot be changed.

If someone votes online and mails a physical ballot, the online vote shall prevail.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is also one of the judges of the Golden Bamboo Award. He is the director of the director's mouth. He has completed his vote online and selected relatively niche works. After all, there are so many people supporting popular works, and he is not short of one more.

He is the director of the directing department of the Film Academy, and Wang Quan is also his student. The entire Beijing Film Academy is very supportive of the Golden Bamboo Award. After all, the professional counterparts, once the Golden Bamboo Award is cast, the biggest beneficiary is their Film Academy.

But he was holding a paper ballot in his hand and walking in the hospital corridor. This is for his mother.

Tian Chuangchuang was considered the leader in his class. Who can take the lead depends on family background, and his family background is far superior to that of Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong and others in the same class.

Their parents are directors and employees of Beijing Film Studio, and his father is the first director of Beijing Film Studio, and his mother, Ms. Yu Lan, is the founder of Children's Film Studio.

Ms. Yu Lan is 98 years old this year and has obtained the qualification of judge as an actor.

At her age, she is still living in the hospital and her health is not very good. It doesn't matter whether she votes or not, but she still asked her son to help her run a trip, deliver the tickets, and then mail the tickets out.

She chose two for the best feature film, because she basically watches movies on TV now, most of which are old movies. She has only seen three on the list, and she doesn't like one of them.

As for actors, she only chooses those she has seen, especially her son Zhuangzhuang's performance in "Us and Them", which surprised her and she chose him decisively.

The best actor and actress and the best newcomer are not separated in the preliminary selection. Everyone chooses them together. They will be separated when the Golden Bamboo Award announces the list.

Seeing his gray-haired mother only choose You Benchang and himself in the actor category, Tian Zhuangzhuang finally understood why the old lady had to fill in this ballot.

His eyes were a little moist. How happy he was that he was almost 70 years old and still had his mother loving him.

How unfortunate he was that as a director, he could only appear in front of the public through acting.

Fortunately, his new directorial work is about to start.

At that time, Acheng had three short and medium-length novels that were famous in the world. "The King of Children" was filmed by Chen Kaige, and the male lead was Xie Yuan. "The King of Chess" was filmed by Yan Hao and Xu Ke, and the male lead was Liang Jiahui.

Now there is only one "Tree King" left. He decided to challenge it. The funds are in place, and the male lead is Zhang Yu, who became popular this year with "Dying to Survive" and "The Nameless".

After watching his mother fall asleep, he secretly vowed to let his mother see his work before she passed away.

Also in the hospital, Zhao Liying was receiving an IV drip with her big belly, and Liu Yifei was sitting next to her. She couldn't help but curse, "I didn't expect Wu Xiubo to be such a scumbag! It's too much!"

Feng Shaofeng, who pushed the door in, was stunned. No, isn't this child mine? It should be mine, right? Could it be Bosu's?

Seeing Feng Shaofeng coming in, Liu Yifei realized that her words seemed ambiguous, and hurriedly said, "No, uh, we just saw the news about Wu Xiubo and couldn't help but complain a little."

Feng Shaofeng wiped his sweat and almost thought he was the one who took over.

The incident of Wu Xiubo has been a hot topic for so long, and it ended with Bosu suing the girl for blackmail and locking her up.

Although Bosu no longer has to worry about being robbed of gold coins, his acting career is almost over.

From a late bloomer to being called out by everyone, his career peak was too short, like a dream.

Zhao Liying held Liu Yifei's hand: "Okay, I'm fine, you go and do your own thing."

Liu Yifei also found out today that Zhao Liying was pregnant, and she was going to give birth in two months. No wonder she hasn't been seen in public for a long time.

If she hadn't had a miscarriage today, she wouldn't have told her good friend.

Mainly because she was afraid of irritating Liu Yifei.

They are the same age, and she is about to become a mother, but Qianqian is begging for it. At this moment, Zhao Liying is quite emotional. Fortunately, she didn't have any illusions about Director Quan.

She is a rural girl from a small place, more down-to-earth. Although Feng Shaofeng is not the super rich second generation she imagined, she can live well on her own.

Last month, "Do You Know? Do You Know? It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin" was broadcast on Xigua Video, and she once again held a classic high-scoring and high-data TV series.

At a time when Xianmi is no longer shooting TV series, she is already a TV star who can compete with the TV queen Sun Li.

After Liu Yifei left the hospital, she had just finished complaining about Wu Xiubo when she saw news about another scumbag.

It was said that Taiwanese director Niu Chengze was sued for strong alkali. I was right at the beginning. He is really not a good guy.

But he has been free for so many years. It's lucky for him. It's hard for Ren Xianqi. He gained more than 200 pounds for Niu Chengze's new film.

Now the movie is definitely impossible to shoot, and he has to lose weight and find another job.

After that, Liu Yifei went to the recording studio again. Ruyi and Tang Tian created two new songs for "Zhu Xian 3". One was sung by Xianmi to liven up the atmosphere, and the other was the main song, sung by Liu Yifei and Yao Beina.

Now we are recording the second song.

When old friends met, Liu Yifei first asked about Ruyi and Tang Tian's health, and then started recording the song.

The two are cancer patients, but fortunately they are still alive and can still play music.

Liu Yifei hasn't released a new song for a long time, and her fans have been waiting for it.

After recording the song, Yao Beina and Tang Tian also talked about their experience in voting for the Golden Bamboo Award.

As a famous singer and music creator, Yao Beina is even known as the queen of OST, so the two also obtained the qualification of judges.

There are too many Chinese musicians, but only more than 50 soundtrack and creative musicians who have close cooperation with film and television dramas have obtained the first batch of qualifications. Next year, there will definitely be an orderly expansion.

Yao Beina said that she really liked the song "Hu Guangsheng" written by Ren Suxi for "The Nameless".

Tang Tian: "Yes, yes, I voted for that one too. I also voted for the theme song of "Trembling Abe", which was sung by Rocket Girls."

"I like that one very much, it's funny and sad, but it's a pity that I don't have the right to vote~" Liu Yifei laughed. She is in the actor department, and except for the best film, she can only vote for actors.

Many people in the film industry actually have multiple identities, especially actors and directors. There are many who join both associations, but the Golden Bamboo Award judges can only choose one department to join.

Like Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, they all chose actors.

Zhang Jingchu, Chen Sicheng, and Wu Jing chose directors, which may involve some of their plans for the future route.

Throughout January, the Golden Bamboo Award was the top hot topic in the film industry. Some people did make small moves in secret, but the huge number of judges made these small moves seem insignificant. At least it can ensure that the heavyweight awards such as film, director, and actor cannot be influenced by a small group of people.

After all, this is the first year, and it was launched in a hurry. The system will be improved in the future.

In addition to the Golden Bamboo Award, the Spring Festival movies have begun to make efforts. Through online marketing, people were surprised to find that there were ten movies released on the same day during the Spring Festival this year.

Ten movies!

In the past, there were only eight movies at most, but this year there are eight live-action movies alone, and two animations.

And "Mermaid 2" has also begun to promote Shen Teng.

So in addition to the two movies he starred in, "Crazy Alien" and "Flying Life", Shen Teng can be seen in a total of three movies during this Spring Festival.

And this year, Shen Teng will bring Ma Li, Allen, Chang Yuan and other Mahua old people to the Spring Festival Gala stage.

So some people say that the Spring Festival of the Year of the Pig in 2019 is Shen Teng's festival. It is estimated that he will be busy before and after the New Year.

After this Spring Festival, his personal total box office will probably surpass Wu Jing and become the first person after Liu Yifei.

"Eat Laba porridge!" Liu Yifei specially cooked in person today and prepared Laba porridge for her family.

Xiaolijie, Mimi, Xiaoxianmi, and Wang Quan were all there, and Xiaoxianmi praised Xianma's cooking skills.

Today is Wang Quan and Xixi's lucky day, so Mimi took her daughter away in the evening.

But when Wang Quan got to bed, he felt that Xixi was always absent-minded.

"What's wrong, baby? Is the bed no longer able to satisfy you? How about we go to the kitchen?" Wang Quan suggested.

Liu Yifei: "It's not that, I'm just afraid."

Wang Quan was stunned, "What are you afraid of?"

"Recently, the entertainment industry has had the incidents of Wu Xiubo and Niu Chengze. One sent someone to jail, and the other was sent to jail. They are all about men and women. I'm worried about you," Liu Yifei bit her lip, "No matter what happens, I will be very sad."

She was a little angry at this time. Why can't he be more at peace? With her and Mimi, wouldn't it be better if there were a few confidantes? He had to spread the stall so big, with so many people and so many mouths.

Seeing Xixi worried about him, Wang Quan had to apologize and comfort her.

But whether to change or not will be discussed later.

To express his apology, Wang Quan asked Xixi to go to the movies the next day.

"What to watch?"

"The recent popular "White Snake: Origin"."

At the beginning of January, the fourth feature film "White Snake: Origin" of Light Chaser Animation was released.

This time, Light Chaser learned the practice of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" to release word of mouth through a small-scale preview in the previous week, which led to a good performance on the first day. Among the many popular New Year films, it received a box office of 10 million yuan, and 10.24 million on the first day.

After that, as the word of mouth became better and better, it had the potential to be a small hit. Wang Wei, the boss of Light Chaser, breathed a sigh of relief. This time he finally survived!

So he ordered that the "Nezha and Yang Jian" film, which was also a mythological theme, was also put into production!

He would find a way if he didn't have money. Light Chaser finally found a way that suited him!

And today, Wang Quan gave Wang Wei another assist.

"Breaking! Wang Quan and Liu Yifei dated in the cinema, suspected to be reunited! 》

During the report, the paparazzi mentioned that they were watching "White Snake: Origin", and Light Chaser immediately used its limited remaining publicity funds to hype this matter.

Netizens said that they wanted to see what Wang Quan and Liu Yifei were watching on their date and were so fascinated that they were accidentally photographed.

So in the second weekend, "White Snake: Origin" broke 30 million in a single day, and the cumulative box office exceeded 100 million! It became Light Chaser's most popular movie, and this is just the beginning.

Huang Jianxin just came back from a meeting at China Film Group Corporation.

He smiled and said, "I'm anxious. China Film Group Corporation is anxious."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Wang Quan asked.

"It's because the mainland film market experienced negative growth last year and lost the first place. The leaders above felt that China Film Group Corporation and the Film Bureau were not doing their job well." Huang Jianxin smiled.

Once the leaders are dissatisfied, the situation will inevitably change.

"So what measures have China Film Group Corporation and the Film Bureau taken?" Wang Quan asked.

"First, relax the import restrictions. For example, the latest one is that Deadpool 2 will be imported, and it is said that there will not be many cuts." Huang Jianxin said.

The first Deadpool was famous for its R-rated large-scale, blood, foul language, violence, and pornography. All elements are included.

Mainland audiences thought they would never be able to watch this series, but they didn't expect to be able to watch it. Maybe it was because they saw that Venom, which is also an anti-hero, had a box office of 1.8 billion in the mainland, so they showed some respect.

This is also good news for Longtouzhi. Longtouzhi has some hit horror movies every year, but these movies are difficult to enter the mainland, such as the hit "Get Out" two years ago, which can't be imported without ghosts.

"But if you are willing to show mercy to imported films, why don't you say that our company's banned film is released, and "Along with the Gods"."

Old Huang laughed: "It's better to be with foreign countries, and it's not up to the Film Bureau to decide. Don't you know whose nerves your film offended?"

Yes, "Death Row" was released, and the word-of-mouth and box office are so good, but it is not allowed to participate in any awards. After that, Director Cao Baoping kept a low profile for a while.

Huang Jianxin continued: "Also, the film industry fund may have to be reduced."

Wang Quan excitedly slapped the table: "Why reduce it? It should be withdrawn directly!"

In the past, it was possible to say that 5% of the national box office would be drawn to support the dissemination of films in remote areas, and movies going to the countryside.

But now there are no movies going to the countryside. Many county-level cinemas are built by various theater companies with little profit and have never received subsidies from the fund.

Moreover, the national box office is more than 70 billion yuan, and 5% is 3.5 billion yuan.

Such a large amount of money is actually equivalent to a disguised increase in taxes on the film industry, and it is collected unclearly.

In fact, a few years later, the mainland briefly cancelled the 5% film industry fund to stimulate the sluggish film industry, but it was no longer useful at that time, and then it was restored.

After chatting with Huang Jianxin for a while about the next new policy, they brought the topic back to the Spring Festival period, and then sighed, "It's too crowded, really too crowded!"

Half a month before the first half of the Lunar New Year, various theaters began to pre-arrange films.

Ten movies, "Zhu Xian 3", "Tang Detective 3", "Crazy Alien", "Mermaid 2", "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice", "Flying Life", "Detective Pu Songling", "Integrity", "Boonie Bears: The Original Age", and "Peppa Pig Celebrates the New Year".

According to the popularity of the previous works and the current popularity, the theater companies have divided them into different levels.

The first level is naturally "Zhu Xian 3" and "Tang Detective 3". The previous works of the two series of movies are both more than 3 billion in scale, and the two are backed by Wangdao + Maoyan and Wanda + Wangdao, so they are definitely the top seeds.

"Zhu Xian 3" is the final chapter. Although "Tang Detective 3" did not state that it is the final chapter, Q, which hides two movies and a web drama, may appear, which is also very attractive.

But even the top seed may have a possibility of less than 20% of the first day of scheduling.

Then there are "The Mermaid 2" and "Crazy Alien". The former is distributed by Lianrui with a guaranteed minimum, and the latter is distributed by Lekaihua with a guaranteed minimum, and Guangguang is responsible for distribution.

Although the first part of "The Mermaid" also has more than 3 billion, first of all, the reputation is not as good as the above two, and secondly, the male lead has changed from Deng Chao to Allen, and the actor's appeal has been downgraded.

Fortunately, Shen Teng's friendly appearance can make up for some of the problems, but it also depends on how many scenes Shen Teng has and whether Zhou's comedy and Shen's comedy are compatible.

"Crazy Alien" brings together Ning Hao + Huang Bo + Shen Teng, and it is said that Xu Zheng will also appear in this film in a special form.

In previous years, this lineup would definitely be the top seed.

But this year, the situation is special, and it can only be placed in the second tier with "Mermaid 2".

The third tier is "Hidden Man" and "Flying Life".

Jiang Wen's previous film "One Step Away" failed at both the box office and reputation, so there will be more people watching this one.

But he was lucky to star in the "Xiao Yao You" series, and his popularity has soared in the past two years. In addition, Qiankun + Mi Shi jointly released it, and the popularity is also good.

"Flying Life" is a fresh combination of Han Han + Shen Teng, released by Bona.

Han Han's films have a prominent personal style, and are generally more popular. This time, Shen Teng has joined, and it is still the racing theme he is best at, which is expected to become his first movie to break 1 billion.

As for Big Brother Long's "Detective Pu Songling", it can only be reduced to the same level as "Boonie Bears", and be the table for children.

"Boonie Bears" at least got another Maoyan to distribute it, while "Detective Pu Songling" was only distributed by iQiyi itself, and the trailer gave people the feeling of an online movie, and online movies are precisely iQiyi's strengths.

The last "Integrity" and "Peppa Pig Celebrates the New Year" are the least noticeable in the Spring Festival period.

When the pre-schedule just started, the two combined accounted for less than 5%.

Later, "Peppa Pig Celebrates the New Year" produced a marketing short film "What is Peppa?", which quickly became popular on the Internet, and surpassed the Hong Kong film "Integrity" in terms of momentum.

The screening rate of "Integrity" has never exceeded 3%, and some theaters have not even scheduled it, not even in the garbage time period.

The investors of this movie are Yindu Organization and Herui Films, and they urgently contacted those theaters.

They said that they were also in a difficult situation. There are so many movies, and they can't schedule them. Besides, the attendance rate of "Zhu Xian" and "Tang Detective" is guaranteed.

"How about this, after the fifth day of the New Year, when it's not so tense, we will schedule you, okay?"

How can this be possible!

The most profitable days of the Spring Festival are the first few days. "Integrity" wants to eat a little soup in the first few days by relying on differentiated competition, but you let us lick the plate, which is too much!

The other party said again: "If you really want to schedule a film, then you pay some money and guarantee that our theater chain will have 8% of the screenings before the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. That should be fine, right?"

"How much?"

"One million is enough."

With an expenditure of one million, it takes 3 million box office to make back the money. If a few more theater chains are added, it will only be tens of millions. If they can guarantee 8% of the screenings, they may be able to get hundreds of millions of box office.

So "Integrity" took the lead in paying this scheduling fee.

Later, the film company found that the 8% of the screenings were in the garbage time in the morning and late at night.

After negotiation, they still endured it. During the Spring Festival, it was full even in the early morning.

With the first one, there will be the second one.

The theater chain can make money like this, so it contacted "Peppa Pig" and "Detective Pu Songling" whose scheduling was not ideal.

"Boonie Bears" is determined not to pay this money. Their audience is very stable. They can also rely on attendance rate to kill with fewer screenings.

However, "Pu Songling" and "Peppa Pig" were not so tough. After paying the money, the proportion of the screenings really increased a lot.

Cheng Long was getting more and more depressed. His company also invested in this film. It was always the cinema that shared the profits with them. This was the first time that he had to pay tribute to the cinema before making any money. This was like working for money.

This situation was so similar to the monthly ticket list of Qidian at the beginning of the month.

The voting deadline has arrived at the Golden Bamboo Award Office, and now we can start counting.

Wang Quan asked about the general direction, "How many people voted?"

"843 people voted online, and 125 people voted by mail."

Wang Quan nodded, that is, 968 people, only more than 60 people abstained, which was okay.

However, if these more than 60 people were used, it would not be difficult to promote a movie.

Statistics also take some time. Online voting is simple and the program can be done, but paper voting still needs to be counted and counted.

When the first round of voting and statistics for the Golden Bamboo Award was in progress, the pre-scheduled screenings of the Spring Festival movies had been a week.

Although the filming schedule has not been completely completed, more than 400,000 screenings have been scheduled. With so many films this year, there will definitely be more than 500,000 screenings.

The current situation is that the screening rate of "Zhu Xian 3" is about 18%, "Tang Detective 3" 17%, "Alien" 14%, "Mermaid 2" 12, "Hidden Man" 12%, "Flying Life" 10%, and "Boonie Bears" 4%.

In addition, "Detective Pu Songling" 6%, "Integrity" and "Peppa Pig" each 3%.

Seeing this scene, all major film producers sighed "tragic, too tragic!"

The top seed players only have 18% of the screenings!

Although three films have spent money, the theaters can only do this. After all, not every theater has been bought. If they don't spend money, they may not even have this little screening.

And they really look like they are going to fail. If they schedule more, they will really make less money.

Now there is another choice in front of them: change the schedule.

Changing the release date might have saved the day, but everyone couldn't afford to lose face, and the previous investment would be wasted if the film was withdrawn, and marketing and promotion also cost money.

So they could only hope that other films would not be able to hold on and withdraw first, so they held on until February, when the Spring Festival was approaching.

In early February, after a few days of statistics, the list of nominees for the Golden Bamboo Awards was also announced...
