........

The time has come to the end of December, and before we know it, 2014 will be over again.

Major film and television companies have become even busier. While doing year-end summaries, they are also paying attention to the 2015 Spring Festival schedule in advance.

Among the many companies, two more companies are shrouded in dark clouds, and there is no sense of New Year's Eve celebrations at all.

Alibaba Pictures, in particular, is in dire straits.

Early this morning, when the employees came to work, they found that the atmosphere was not right. The company's executives all had long faces, as if someone owed them millions.

Alibaba Pictures Headquarters, Conference Room 2.

Fan Luyuan, Zhang Qiang, Zhang Wei, Deng Kangming, Yang Weidong and more than a dozen senior executives from Alibaba Pictures gathered together, all with grim faces.

At the main seat, Chairman Fan Luyuan frowned and smoked the cigarette he brought from Zhang Qiang.

At this time, Fan Luyuan finally experienced the depth of the film market.

Just one movie put Alibaba Pictures in such dire straits that its stock price plummeted like a landslide.

Draft horse's!

Fan Luyuan took a long drag on the cigarette and cursed Jiang Min, China Film, Emperor, Wanda Film and Television, Dongyang One Step and several other companies in his heart, wishing they could die.

When he first took office two years ago, he waved his hand and asked Zhang Qiang, Zhang Wei and others to do it with great enthusiasm.

Don't care about money, just grab potential movies from the market at high prices. It's best to grab the investment share if you can. If you can't grab it, focus on the distribution rights of the movies.

At that time, Fan Luyuan proudly stated to the outside world that Alibaba Pictures has a lot of money, and all colleagues should be prepared to be impacted by him.

Two years later, Alibaba Pictures was successfully listed, with its market value reaching a height of 30 billion.

The advantage of money was also perfectly used by the executives present, scaring many people in the industry to cry wolf.

Last year, Alibaba Pictures tried its best and bought the distribution rights of "Dear" and "One Step Away" from Guangsheng, China Film and Emperor.

"Dear", a small-budget reality-themed film, has a box office of nearly 500 million.

Alibaba Pictures released this movie, which made it famous in the industry for the first time and completely established its foothold.

"One Step Away", the most important project of Alibaba Pictures since its establishment, was released with a guaranteed price of 1 billion.

After deducting film funds and taxes, and deducting 10% of the film's distribution fee, Alibaba Pictures paid 300 million in cash in advance to the six producers of "One Step Away".

Judging from the collapse of "One Step Away", the total box office is at least 500 million. Alibaba Pictures can get 45% of the net box office income from the film's distribution, which can recover almost 206 million, which is just enough to make up for the film's publicity and distribution expenses.

.

In other words, Alibaba Pictures actually lost 300 million on "One Step Away" alone.

300 million!

This is all in vain!

In the past few days, a new term has emerged in the film industry.

Take over!

He joked that Alibaba Pictures was taken advantage of and took over a big bad movie.

call..

Fan Luyuan blew out a smoke ring, looking gloomy and extremely unhappy. He always felt like his head was green.

He put out the cigarette, rubbed his stiff cheeks with both hands, looked at his subordinates, and sighed: "The matter has come to this, all the money has been spent, no matter how angry we are, it will not help."

"Don't be too discouraged. Alibaba Pictures doesn't make others laugh easily. One failure is nothing. There will always be times when I feel proud."

As he spoke, everyone in the conference room relaxed slightly, raised their heads and straightened their waists one by one.

"now it's right."

Seeing this, Fan Luyuan was also shocked. He stood up and looked at everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, the chapter of "One Step Away" is over. Failure is the mother of success. From now on, all departments will step up their efforts to follow up on several movies controlled by the group.

For movies, we must put more effort into production, cooperate with the director and crew to control the quality of the movie, and do a good job in publicity at the same time!”

"clear!"

"clear!"

In the conference room, there was a response that was injected with chicken blood and forcibly activated emotions.

........

Alibaba Pictures is licking its wounds, and LeTV Pictures is not doing well either.

Because of the blockbuster "Taiping Wheel", the film's distribution director Zhang Zhao was scolded by Jia Yueting.

Helpless, Zhang Zhao could only do something and once again found four film producers: Wu Baige, Galloping Horse Li Li, Huayi Wang Zhongjun, and China Film Chen Yu.

Let’s discuss together the release date of the second part of "The Wheel" and the focus of the film’s promotion.

In a five-star hotel.

The five of them didn't bring their secretary, so they found a luxurious lounge and ordered some of the hotel's specialty refreshments.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Zhao spoke irritably and said in a deep voice: "The first part of "The Wheel" only received 170 million at the box office. We must do something about the second part, and we cannot let the movie continue to collapse."

After saying that, he glanced at Wu Baige, who had a calm face, and a hint of sarcasm flashed deep in his eyes.

Oh shit..

It was because of your reputation as a great international director, Wu Baige, that LeTV spent 800 million guaranteed to win "The Wheel".

As a result, the movie was so bad that it became a companion with "One Step Away". Like Alibaba Pictures, LeTV was ridiculed by insiders as the two biggest takeovers in the film market this year.

Really fucked!

Zhang Zhao suppressed the urge to rant and continued: "The previous selling point can no longer be used, and the audience will not buy it. We must find other ways."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yu, Wang Zhongjun, and Li Li all nodded, and they also believed that disaster love should not be used as the focus of publicity.

The reputation of the first part is dragging down, and using this method of publicity will only make the audience hate the second part even more.

However, Chen Yu and the others were not in a hurry. The copyright and guarantee for the film had been sold, and the three of them had already recovered their costs.

When they came today, they didn't have much expectations. If there was a way to turn things around, it would be best. If not, they would just come out to drink tea.

By the way, I would like to criticize Wu Baige and vent my dissatisfaction.

Among the three people, Chen Yu and Wang Zhongjun had strange eyes, and from time to time they glanced at Wu Baige's pretending to be calm.

Old guy, your butt is on fire, you can still pretend!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Baige was wearing a black windbreaker, dressed as a gentleman, and his originally relatively relaxed expression suddenly became embarrassed when the two men's joking glances swept away him.

grass.

He cursed secretly, his heart was agitated and he couldn't help but fire: "Although it is a fact that the movie is not a hit, in addition to criticizing the plot, most of the comments on the Internet are accusing the actors of not being good enough.

I have always paid attention to the public's comments on the movie. The performance of the actors was too slow. If Deng Chao and Liu Ye were cast, the situation would definitely have changed!"

Throw the blame!

Typical blame-shifting!

Wu Baige kept his words, emphasizing that although movies are not good, actors also have a great responsibility.

The movie can't be a hit, it's all his fault as a director!

........

Sanqingshan Hengyu Film and Television Base.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Ziheng stopped filming early, and ended the work two hours early amidst the cheers of everyone.

"Everyone, have a good rest. Starting from tomorrow, the difficulty of the scenes will be upgraded again. I hope everyone is ready."

"Oh yeah, we're finally going to shoot our first famous scene!"

Liu Haoran has a young mind and has already known the follow-up scenes through the big shooting plan, and is looking forward to it coming soon.

The filming schedule of "Immortal" gradually got on track. After the small battle scenes were filmed, everyone's tacit understanding was also developed.

Tomorrow, the crew will shoot the first famous scene in the movie, when Daqian Taoist Temple begins its triennial disciple training.

The training location is outside Tianyao Mountain!

According to the background description of the movie, every experience can be regarded as a top showdown among the younger generation, no less than the battle of geniuses that takes place once every ten years.

There are hordes of monsters and dangers in Tianyao Mountain. There are big monsters roaming deep in the mountains. It is said that there are super masters of Tianyao bloodline who can rival the powerful cave of the demon tribe of God Lord Daqian.

This scene requires the mobilization of a lot of manpower and material resources.

There were more than 300 people playing the role of the imperial guards of the Daqian Dynasty alone. Counting the crew and actors, nearly 500 people were filming in a studio at the same time.

3D real shooting, the difficulty level soared rapidly!

"Director, let's go first!"

"Director, you should also take a good rest!"

The actors changed their roles and walked out of the set in twos and threes. Luo Jin even deliberately laughed strangely.
