Especially for such a small cost, short and fast project, the investment is small, even if there are risks, it does not matter if you lose.
Time Light and Shadow was the first to be tempted. Without him, Time Light and Shadow is arguably the worst situation compared to other giants.
If it is said that Huaxin is a new giant, so its foundation is insufficient and lack of film sources, then Rising Star is a very good example. In the short term, Huaxin has added film sources, and it is still a high-quality film source. In the long run, the impact But it is very impressive, especially as the directors who have grown up with the help of Rising Stars and Huaxin, will continue to provide Huaxin with high-quality film sources.
And Time Light and Shadow is a bit embarrassed. The movies released by Time Light and Shadow this year are actually not big productions. In terms of quantity, Time Light and Shadow has released more than 20 movies this year. Some are produced by its own company, and there are also Time Light and Shadow. Participated in the investment, there are also external sources of other film production companies, but the embarrassing thing is that the total box office of the films released by Time Light and Shadow as of December this year includes the "Mars Battlefield" co-released with Shengtang Kyushu. , It turned out to only have a box office of more than 1.8 billion.
If it is put on other small issuing companies, the box office of more than 1.8 billion is really not less, but Time Light and Shadow is one of the giants.
Such an achievement is simply ashamed to be lost to grandma's house.
Among the several giants, it can be said to be the bottom.
Although Huaxin is a new company and a new giant, in terms of distribution, it has surpassed the times.
The combination of Wang Yifan's movies and Xu Cang's movies alone surpasses the times.
Now, Xinxing has begun to open a breakthrough in low-cost movies. Huaxin can be said to be thriving. Even if you don't want to admit it, you have to admit that Huaxin has surpassed the times.
Therefore, Dai Xinyue was very upset, and Dai Zilong was very upset and stressed.
After all, Times Light and Shadow also has many shareholders. If you can’t bring better benefits to shareholders, they will naturally be dissatisfied and put pressure on them. Although the second generation of the Dai family controls the absolute controlling rights of Times Light and Shadow, they don’t. If it is equal to other shareholders, pressure cannot be given.
Therefore, it is impossible to reduce expenditure, so it can only increase revenue!
However, after the equity change and internal turmoil of the Times, the cash flow is actually very lacking, because the investment in "Mars Battlefield" has not been able to bring enough income, and the new investment in Chen Hang's super fierce film, so Times light and shadow are really quite embarrassing!
However, for giants, funds may be tight, but they can easily get external financing.
But the problem is that you have to give confidence to external capital, but obviously, it is difficult for Time Light to give confidence to external capital, because this year, Time Light and Shadow is really miserable!
If you want to invest in high-quality films, you can't find a door, because most of the time, the giants eat up the projects of those big directors. They would rather go for external financing than share a piece of the pie with other competitors.
Chen Hang’s film is because the investment is too large and the risk is also high. Therefore, external capital cannot be supported without limit. In addition, such a large-scale production also requires more publicity resources. Therefore, this is actually It is a replacement of resources.
Give you an investment share, and when the time comes, you have to give up some publicity resources.
But like Wang Yifan's project "The Martian", first of all he will invest part of it himself, and Huaxin will eat the rest, not because of lack of investment, but such high-quality projects, clearly profitable projects, it is certainly impossible to let go.
Therefore, Times Light and Shadow is really embarrassing now.
Times Light and Shadow are not directors without cooperation. For example, Wu Han and Wu Tianxiong are attracted by Times Light and Shadow, but this is obviously not enough.
Moreover, Wu Han is creating a major production, which will take at least one year, which is far from enough to quench the near thirst.
Wu Tianxiong never looked back on the road of literary and artistic movies.
Several commercial film failures made Wu Tianxiong lose confidence.
Therefore, in the internal meeting of Times Light and Shadow, Dai Zilong and Dai Xinyue mentioned the new star model.
"Supporting new directors and making their own blood is something that any company wants to achieve, but in reality? Beichuan Film Festival is a film festival that supports young directors, but after so many years, there will be one or two occasions every year. A good movie."
"The Chinese New Star Guidance Project, which was praised by the entire movie circle earlier, ended up smashing hundreds of millions of dollars, but there was no splashing. There were a few literary and artistic directors, but the previous literary and artistic films can go overseas to win awards What? But now, Chinese literary films are not popular in overseas film festivals. They can't sell for money at all. They are all making money at a loss." Dai Xinyue is still skeptical of this plan.
"Of course, I still support this plan, because this is the long-term way, but we can't use Xinxing as a benchmark, because the model of Xinxing is not reproducible at all." Dai Xinyue is not so optimistic.
"You can't say that. The directors of the new star's movies are also unknown new directors. Most of them have never made movies, and the actors are ordinary actors. I don't think there is anything that cannot be copied." Dai Ziyang suddenly Retorted.
"Haha, don't forget, the biggest thing about Rising Star's project is not the director, nor the actors, but the script creativity! The script creativity comes from Wang Yifan!" Dai Xinyue glanced at Dai Ziyang disdainfully.
Dai Zilong's expression is a bit unpleasant. Who was it to compromise with Wang Yifan in order to control the group? Not only did he pay a lot of money to buy back shares, but he also sold Wang Yifan's shares in Xingmeng company back to Wang Yifan at a price.
Now the more successful Wang Yifan is, the more embarrassed Dai Zilong is.
"Ahem, is it possible that only Wang Yifan can write a good script? I don't think so. We can hire a screenwriter with a lot of money to create a script specifically for us. The so-called three heads surpassed Zhuge Liang. But a Wang Yifan." Dai Ziyang said indignantly.
Dai Ziyang's words still made many people nod their heads.
But Dai Xinyue knows that things are not what Dai Ziyang said. Yes, if you hire a screenwriter with a lot of money to create a script, it may not necessarily be a good one.
But the crux of the problem is that a good script depends on who said it!
Who will check? You know, that requires investment.
Why are there so few well-known screenwriters in China? Why did the three heads compete against Zhuge Liang, this is really not true in the entertainment circle, such as stars, talent shows, tens of thousands of stars can be produced?
