Chapter 927 Director Xu (35)

Hanshanping has gained a lot...

He is still the chairman of China Film Group Corporation, but he will be forced to leave after next year...

Very good, I will directly invite him to join PPTV when the time comes.

PPTV’s big move directly caused many people to break their defenses...

Really breaking the defense!

But it was of no use. The TV station was attacked externally by the Internet, and internally it was tortured to death by the General Administration.

Various censorship restrictions have limited TV dramas to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, spy wars, and anti-Japanese thunder dramas.

The TV drama industry seems huge, but it's unhealthy. It's more like a fat imbecile.

In the past, people were reluctant to get involved in online dramas, mainly because "pure online dramas" had no profit model. ’

The proposal of the payment model allows streaming media platforms to find this key!

In addition, in addition to payment, online dramas expand their profit models through various methods such as advertising and click sharing.

For traditional TV drama companies, online dramas not only bring high profits, but also reduce the risks brought by TV dramas - there is no difference between prime time and non-prime time, and they can be launched directly!

Shen Xudong is not worried at all about the development space and profitability of long-form videos - Chinese TV stations have always made long-form films, and people have always made money. Why can't they make money when it comes to streaming media?

However, Shen Xudong has always been curious - why among so many TV stations, only Mango TV has started doing it?

SMG has developed three streaming media platforms. BesTV, also known as BesTV+, formerly known as BesTV, is the current strategic streaming media platform of SMG and is affiliated with OPG.

Fengxing.com, a ready-made video streaming platform bought in 2012-13, and of course, later sold;

Let’s talk about another similar company, Archimedes, which is the streaming audio platform of the Eastern Broadcasting Center.

At first glance, it’s quite bluffing. The three streaming media platforms are awesome!

If you look carefully, no one can hit...

There is no internal circulation of SMG at all, just bulk SMG!

It was established after the merger of Dawenguang and Xiaowenguang.

BesTV is something from the Pearl of the Orient, and it cannot be called Tomato TV. Frankly speaking, the effect of calling it Tomato TV is definitely better than that of BesTV. If you call it BesTV, who knows which TV station you belong to?

To put it bluntly, many people suspect that BesTV TV was created by SMG to defraud subsidies...

As for China Blue TV, Lychee TV... there is no chance at all!

Mango TV was created out of nowhere by the Mango Group - it took back the online copyrights of its self-produced programs, sold exclusive content to Mango TV at a "reasonable low price", and launched an exclusive broadcast strategy.

China Blue TV was also vigorously promoted by Blue Channel at the time, but a problem arose. Its variety shows were not only available on China Blue TV, but were also licensed to other third-stream media platforms.

Back to the topic, PPTV is just an official announcement and has not been officially broadcast yet. Therefore, for the time being, there is no direct competitive relationship between the two parties...

Shen Xudong simply hid on the set of "Love" and concentrated on filming...

…

In the three days of New Year's Day, "One Shot" has a box office of 208 million, with a cumulative box office of 887 million. It will soon become the third movie to exceed one billion!

"Zodiac" ranked second, with a box office of 76 million in three days, and a cumulative box office of nearly 400 million...

"囧囧" also took in more than 40 million yuan, and the box office exceeded 1.1 billion...

It is estimated that it will not reach the 1.27 billion level of the original time and space!

Speaking of which, "One Shot" has no way out - it's all comedy, and it also suppressed "囧" in terms of reputation...

What's more important is that theaters support "One Shot to the End" more than "囧"...

But Xu Zheng is already very satisfied - after all, the cost is here.

He was interviewed by People:

""囧囧" is an upgrade of "囧囧路"... The first "囧囧路" was made by Xudong after watching an American comedy "Planes, Trains, Automobiles". He said that this subject matter is very suitable for making a Chinese version. Spring Festival travel…

He designed the main plot, found three or four screenwriters, and then I directed it. It only took about 35 days to shoot. The promotion of "A Man on the Road" was very traditional, and he didn't put much effort into it. It ended up selling for more than 200 million, which was actually quite unexpected. "

"The main storyline of "Lost in Thailand" was also provided by Xudong. He proposed to add another character...to upgrade! Of course, the background is still a road movie."

“The types must be divided well!”

"Xudong...I admire him very much. He is courageous, has good vision, and has high execution ability. Once he sees something good, he will take action..."

"Making a movie...is a learning process!"

"Xudong told me something about his first film "Life Events" that he supervised and produced. He said that he was filming the burial scene. Deng Chao started to bury the old lady on the bed. Although the scene was noisy, as the camera continued to At first, everyone was in awe, including when Deng Chao carried the coffin out later, all the extras' eyes were red. Through that, you can feel that the Chinese people have a natural respect for death! This is the learning process! "

"Movie director is not a profession, but just a temporary position attached to the filming process of a certain film. Once the film is completed, the director's identity will naturally be gone..."

"The best way to learn about movies is to go watch and shoot movies, and learn and grow while shooting and practicing..."

"There are two choices for the next movie. One is to continue to be embarrassed, and the other is to make a more serious movie... How to make it specific depends on the script..."

"Xudong didn't contact me much. When the first week results of "囧囧" were released, he called me to congratulate me, and then said, 'Keep a low profile, the price of your limelight this time is that seven or eight domestic movies failed miserably at the box office! '…”

Speaking of this, Xu Zheng looked aggrieved: "What does their box office failure have to do with me? You know before the release of "囧囧", "The King's Feast" or "1942", the box office was not good~ "

Okay, it's a bit awkward...

"囧囧" has a box office of 1.1 billion, and I am very proud of myself. It is the time when I am proud, and my words naturally contain resentment towards my predecessors...

There is indeed an element of dissatisfaction - a large part of the reason why he became a director is because no one asked him to film!

It’s different now. His identity has changed and he has become a billionaire box office director. The box office is the director’s confidence.

Of course, he wouldn't get carried away and say, "I seek defeat alone"...

By the way, "People" also asked about the overseas box office performance of "囧囧" - the overseas performance of domestic films mainly depends on Hong Kong!

It’s not that Hong Kong’s box office is very important, but that Hong Kong’s box office is known as the barometer of domestic films. Generally speaking, Hong Kong can sell well, but Southeast Asia basically has no worries about selling!

"囧囧" was a bit dismal at the Hong Kong box office, collecting only HK$590,000 in four days of release. In the second week, the film disappeared from the rankings and faded out of the film schedules of various theaters...

Xu Zheng shook his head: "Comedies are geographically restricted. From the beginning, we never considered overseas results!"

At the end of the interview, he looked at his phone and saw a text message from Huang Bo asking him if he wanted to visit "Love"...

Of course Xu Zheng knows about "Love", Shen Xudong's new movie!

In fact, Xu Zheng has never officially collaborated with Shen Xudong. He is referring to the movies that Shen Xudong personally directed: "Famous", "Love Is Not Blind", "The Grandmaster" and "Tang Detective"...

After thinking for a while, he replied, 'Do you have a specific address? ’

Huang Bo replied almost instantly, 'It's in District XX... not far...'

Xu Zheng calculated the distance and found that it was indeed not far, so he replied: 'Okay, I... I have time tomorrow...'

"Then shall we go tomorrow?"
