Chapter 55 Ning Hao’s cooperation with Film Ambition and Light. Rewards for more updates
Once again, his belief in progress was unshakable. Zhou Yutang went to the offices of Teacher Yao and Teacher Tian a lot of times. increase.
Teachers Yao and Tian were also very pleased.
I have been a teacher in a film school for so many years, what kind of people have I not seen in the circle?
At Zhou Yutang’s age, there are not many people who can be so popular, and they are even more popular than him. Celebrities all have them
The key depends on what those people do after they become popular.
Everyone is either going crazy on the show to show off their faces on various crews, or they are accepting announcements for various events and flying around the country to make a lot of money.
These people attach great importance to turning this "fame" into immediate benefits.
So most of the time and energy are spent on this, and there is very little time to go to school and concentrate on myself.
You may not even be able to see the teacher several times in a semester.
Zhou Yutang is different.
As far as the two teachers know, he went through a brief period of busy announcements after "Want to See You" became a hit, and then he pushed out a lot of invitations to the crew, and most of the time he continued to attend classes at the film school.
I have filmed several youth short dramas, and my techniques have become increasingly proficient and I have made rapid progress.
He seems to have not been affected by the glitz of the entertainment industry at all. He still maintains a sincere and motivated heart and chooses to settle down at the most appropriate time.
Every time I come to the teacher’s office, it’s like going home.
Humble and motivated, and he speaks well.
This young man insists on getting it.
Not only the two teachers spoke highly of Zhou Yutang, but also senior brother Ning Hao, whom he had just met because of the filming of Jing Tian's v.
He also thinks Zhou Yutang is very good.
The two met during the filming of v and chatted in private many times afterwards.
Zhou Yutang wants to make a movie of his own, and the reason for making friends with this famous senior is to communicate more and learn from successful experiences.
Ning Hao admired some of Zhou Yutang's wild ideas very much, and their relationship developed quickly after going back and forth.
Today we have another gathering at Ning Hao’s house.
Ning Hao’s wife Xing Aina went out to get her hair done after dinner, leaving the battlefield to the two men.
Zhou Yutang and Ning Hao were eating peanuts and drinking wine.
"Yu Tang, you really want to make a movie"
Ning Hao said curiously, "From my personal point of view, in fact, the movie sounds quite high-end, and it may not be a TV series." "It's profitable."
Crazy Stone has a low cost and a high return, but the total box office is more than 20 million, excluding the theaters' share, there are also publicity costs and miscellaneous expenses, and it is finally distributed to the investors. The box office revenue in hand is estimated to be only a few million.
“TV dramas are the basic foundation of Jiangdong Studio. Making movies is to test the waters first.”
Zhou Yutang’s thoughtsIt is very clear that "last year, the domestic movie box office revenue was about 2.6 billion. The comprehensive movie income including mainland box office, overseas sales, channel advertising and other income has reached nearly 6 billion, a record high. I feel that this market may grow in a few years." There will be a big explosion."
He always takes one step and sees three steps when doing things.
To get ahead in this industry, you can’t just do TV series.
Companies such as Tangren and Zhouyi have produced many high-quality TV series, but the company's development is still stagnant, and the accumulated resources are limited.
If you want to develop and grow, movies are always inevitable.
The visits to Teacher Yao and Teacher Tian’s offices were not in vain.
Zhou Yutang obtained some inside information that has not yet been circulated.
In recent years, the government has vigorously promoted industrial reform policies. The most interesting one is the latest cultural development plan outline promulgated not long ago.
It talks about many system constructions and specific measures in the field of intellectual property protection, with the purpose of promoting the Chinese film industry to enter the fast lane of industrialization reform.
Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang drew the key points for Zhou Yutang, which is to create more favorable conditions for the future development of the domestic film and television industry.
So Zhou Yutang is preparing to make arrangements in advance. The planned low-cost youth film is Jiangdong Studio's test work.
“Damn, you’ve really done a lot of research.”
Ning Hao almost fainted from Zhou Yutang’s words and quickly drank a drink. Beer suppressed the shock.
But after thinking carefully about what Zhou Yutang said just now, Ning Hao also tasted something, and when he looked at Zhou Yutang, his eyes changed.
This is something a college student can do
“This is how I do things.”
Zhou Yutang threw a peanut into his mouth "Old Ning, why did you think about being a director at that time?"
"I didn't think much about it."
Ning Hao grinned and said, "I majored in directing. , I was also interested in this. Later, the first time I really came into contact with film and television was when I was filming the TV series "Story of Common People". At that time, I followed teacher Zheng Dongtian to record on the spot. I really learned a lot. I feel that being a director is also very simple. Go to the monitor Sitting in the back, Doraemon”
“I was thinking about making a movie myself, and then I wrote a script, Stone, and then I looked for investors to film the script.”
p>Ning Hao shook his head and said with a smile, "The idea at the time was actually very simple. I didn't think as much as you thought. For me, being able to make a movie is considered a success. Only after entering this industry can I Understand that the domestic film market is still not very mature, and those foreign blockbusters are too ruthless.”
“Hollywood movies are great and the industry system is complete, but the foreign moon is not particularly round.”
“According to PwC’s estimates in the National Entertainment and Media Forecast Report, the U.S. film industry has grown rapidly in recent years.The average growth rate of the box office is 43%, which shows that the development of the film market there has now encountered a bottleneck. On the contrary, although the scale of our Chinese film market is still small, the growth rate is already more than 10 times the growth rate of the American film industry. The other will wax and wane, and the future can be expected. ”
“Lao Ning, do you think there is a possibility that in the near future, our country will become the largest film market in the world?”
Zhou Yutang said eloquently, Ning Hao was impressed by his high-spirited and confident expression.
No, you are really a freshman
I don’t know. Ma's freshman year was not like this
What was I doing in those years
Well, it was like having sex with my classmates, or studying which girl was good-looking and which girl had long legs
Ning Hao was in a complicated mood and just stared at Zhou Yutang, like a monster.
He stared at it for a long time, which made Zhou Yutang feel nervous and inadvertently distanced himself slightly.
With this look, if he didn’t have a sister-in-law, he would almost suspect that this senior brother has some sexual orientation issues
“It seems that you have done a lot of homework and are very interested in the prospects of domestic movies. "I'm optimistic about it."
"Since you want to invest, of course you have to do a good job in research. My money is also hard-earned. Rather than being optimistic about the future of the movie, it is better to say that I am always full of hope for the development of China. "
Zhou Yutang clinked glasses of wine with Ning Hao and got a little drunk.
Ning Hao calmed down a little, lit a cigarette, grinned and said, "That's what it sounds like. , but in reality the situation is too difficult. The market there is very mature. At present, if the Chinese film industry wants to compare with the giants like Hollywood in the United States, it is no more than trying to shake a tree. It is really too weak. ”
Zhou Yutang also knows that Ning Hao is not alarmist when he says this.
Last year, the mainland box office revenue share of China’s domestic films accounted for 55% of the total box office, ranking first in the box office revenue rankings 5 out of 10 are imported films.
This is still the result of official regulation.
At this stage, Hollywood blockbusters are indeed crushing most domestic films.
Even some of the country’s top directors are making movies that cater to Western concepts consciously or unconsciously.
“The technical gap can be bridged. I believe that the motherland may still be lagging behind now, but sooner or later it will catch up with it. "
"The ideologies of the two sides are different. As long as we work hard to make a movie that conforms to the Chinese ideology and tell a story well, we can still find our own way. "
"That's good, I think so too."
Ning Hao slapped his thigh, his tone slightly excited, "Yu Tang, how much money are you planning to invest in this movie? Do you want me to contact you for investment?"
The movie Stone became a dark horse at the box office last year, and now Ning Hao is no longer unknown.Senior, many film and television company bosses were waving banknotes and trying to hit him.
To say that he has reached the sky in one step is a bit too much, but at this stage, he has initially accumulated his own network of contacts and relationships.
"Small cost, investment will not exceed 10 million, no big problem."
Zhou Yutang is quite calm.
During this period, taking advantage of the popularity of TV series, Jiangdong Studio was making money crazily.
Zeng Li began to accept commercial acting activities on the third day of the Lunar New Year. After the TV series became popular, Sister Li also accepted several short-term business endorsements.
Including the share, she earned more than one million for the studio during this period
Zhou Yutang’s own new book royalties, business performance, Little Rich Woman’s Dream, start-up capital, song ringtone income and other With miscellaneous income, the entire assets have exceeded 8 million
This is why everyone is trying to get into the entertainment industry.
As long as you become popular, you can make money in a very short time that ordinary people cannot make in a lifetime.
In fact, Zhou Yutang can get the money by gritting his teeth and taking out a loan, but if he wants to mix in the circle, he can't live alone.
According to Zhou Yutang’s plan, the next step is to find a large company with mature distribution channels to cooperate.
Looking at Zhou Yutang’s calm expression, Ning Hao was secretly speechless.
The best way to make money is to be a star.
Zhou Yutang is really rich, he can just pay for ten million yuan
In order to take pictures of rocks, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandma, and finally got it from Liu Tianwang More than 3 million yuan of investment was attracted to make the movie.
Ning Hao couldn't help but ask, "Yu Tang, you spent so much money to make your first movie, did you ever think that it would fail?"
"When you made Stone "I think the movie will fail."
Zhou Yutang asked in return, and Ning Hao laughed and said, "To be honest, when I was filming, I was confident but also a little nervous. I was afraid of not being recognized by the audience. I felt very complicated."
“I have been pondering over the script of Shitou for several years. If it was rejected, I would be very depressed. I thought that I would only be able to shoot commercials, videos or TV series. But during the test screening, Looking at the audience's reaction, I knew it was done."
"I want to try it too."
Zhou Yutang said with a chuckle, "You read my script. , how do you feel?"
"Those years of youth, regret! The story is simple and has many details, which can touch people, but it is hard to say how it will fare at the box office."
Ning Hao said frankly. expressed his opinion.
There is currently no film of this type in the domestic market, and there is no precedent to follow.
"I asked Teacher Tian this question, do you know what he said?"
"How to say"
"Teacher Tian did not answer, just told me What is a play? A play is about people's feelings. I suddenly felt at ease. I felt that this was a touching story.”
Zhou Yutang smiled casually and had another drink with Ning Hao.
At this stage, the Chinese film market is far from mature, and even the works of experienced and established directors are available. You may fail, and it will be more difficult for newcomers to take the lead.
Because veteran directors have their own connections, it doesn’t matter if they fail once or twice, as long as the brand is still standing, someone will smash it. If you invest money in his movies, the audience will buy it.
But if a newcomer like Zhou Yutang does not take a safe first step into the film industry, he may fall directly into the quagmire, and the rest of the journey will be difficult. It's difficult.
Zhou Yutang is a human being, not a god.
He didn't make this decision immediately.
He talked to Yao more than once. The teacher and Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang discussed the feasibility of their project. During this period, Sister Shuang was invited to promote most of the activities, and she was preoccupied with filming youth-type short dramas in school.
Since you have decided to do it, do it to the best of your ability.
Success will be a real success.
Even if it fails. , Zhou Yutang also made a plan in advance.
Temporarily return to the comfort zone of the TV drama market, hold on to Brother Liu Jiang's lap, and then develop steadily to accumulate enough experience.
Then. , making a comeback.
In this world of sensuality and glamor, there is actually no threshold for making a movie. >
As long as you have money, you can recruit a crew.
What is more important is the distribution of a movie. It is the intermediate link between distribution and distribution.
It can also be said that it is the correct decision-making and reasonable operation of the secondary investment in the film. The quality of distribution is also directly related to the producers, exhibitors and others. The publisher’s own income.
Zhou Yutang’s Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio was just starting out and obviously did not have such capabilities.
But the opportunity he was waiting for soon came to him. /p>
A cafe in Beijing.
After Zhou Yutang exchanged greetings with the host Xie Nan, she turned to chat with the capable woman next to her with short ear-length hair and a black professional suit.
This is Li Xiaoping, the vice president of Guangguang Media, a very capable woman.
The main purpose of meeting today is to meet Li Xiaoping. >
Li Xiaoping is now a general under Guangguang King Changtian. She is the chief producer of Guangwang’s signature programs Tianchao Entertainment Report and Music Chart. She was the one who gave the nod to Zhou Yutang to appear on these two programs at that time. In total, there is still so much A bit of fate.
Li Xiaoping was reading Zhou Yutang's script several times.
Zhou Yutang was not in a hurry, ordered cakes and snacks for Xie Nan, and sat down to chat.stand up.
"Brother Nan, you still look good with short hair."
Xie Nan has a bold and cheerful personality, a bit boyish. Zhou Yutang has become familiar with her, and sometimes just calls her Nan. elder brother.
"Well, what you said, I don't look good with long hair."
Xie Nan dug into the cake with a small spoon and glared at Zhou Yutang.
"No, no, the main thing is that short hair looks heroic. If you were in ancient times, you would be a chivalrous woman who would not be inferior to men. In the future, your husband will definitely be a hero with strong martial arts skills."
< p>Zhou Yutang smiled and joked, Xie Nan was also helpless, this brother's thinking was too fast, why did he talk about the person he was talking about.Why, I despise her for being single
However, as the head host of the light, Xie Nan is also very sharp with her words. She immediately shot back, "Then who was your girlfriend last year?" Tell Liu Yifei if you really want to talk to me."
Women are born to gossip, even Li Xiaoping glanced over.
Zhou Yutang shook his head and explained, "Brother Nan, you are my biological sister. Don't talk nonsense. She really came to visit her classmate Wang Jia, and I happened to be sitting next to her. Guazi, I don’t know who took the photo. It’s really unlucky.”
“You got the advantage and acted like a good boy, and you made entertainment headlines before you even debuted.”
Xie Nan can’t eat melons. Suspecting that something was wrong, he chuckled and said, "I said, if it doesn't work, let's work harder and take down that fairy sister. I'm optimistic about you."
Bara Bala gossiped for a while, and Li Xiaoping also watched it. It was almost done. I closed the script and smoothed out the wrinkles on the paper. Looking at Zhou Yutang's eyes, I was a little surprised.
"Your script is very well written. It turns out that youth stories can also be told like this. It would be good to make a movie."
"What about this project?" Zhou Yutang asked tentatively.
"The light can be cast on this project. What is the approximate investment budget?"
"10 million, half of which will be invested by my personal studio."
"Then the rest When the light comes out, I will be the producer."
Li Xiaoping tapped her fingers on the table.
Producers are the stewards of film and television projects, responsible for coordinating project management and preliminary preparations, including post-production and distribution promotion.
"Sister Li, let me ask one more question."
Zhou Yutang couldn't help but asked, "Aren't you a music program?"
"Mr. Wang is going to take charge of Enlight Pictures next. I'm going to try out a few projects."
Li Xiaoping smoothed her short hair and said with great momentum. At this time, her phone rang, and she nodded. Wait a minute, I went out to answer the phone.
Xie Nan leaned into Zhou Yutang’s ear and quickly explained.
It turns out that the speaker of the Enlight Film Department is Zhang Zhao. This person is senior brother Wang Changtian. He studied abroad in the United States in his early years, studied film production, and alsoWon an Oscar in the student section.
Such a resume can be said to be very impressive. After returning to China, Zhang Zhao and Wang Changtian hit it off and worked together to make the company bigger and stronger and create brilliance.
The key now is that Zhang Zhao is too capable, and his reputation in Enlight Pictures is growing. Even Mr. Wang can't get involved, so Li Xiaoping has entered the game.
Zhou Yutang understood as soon as he heard that all the old ministers who had always started the dynasty and had great achievements must be checked and balanced.
When he was checking information at the film school, he also knew that some domestic giant entertainment companies wanted to go public, and Enlight Media was no exception. Then Mr. Wang had to get Enlight Pictures in his hands. .
These have nothing to do with him.
In fact, Zhou Yutang could have chosen to cooperate with Huayi through Huang Xiaoming’s relationship, but he ultimately chose Enlight Media.
The reason is also very simple. Huayi mainly promotes large-scale productions. In the past, it was based on Huang Xiaoming's face. Zhou Yutang is not one of his own, so it is impossible to ask for as much resources as he wants.
Instead of owing this big favor to Brother Xiao Ming, it is better to cooperate with Guang Guang.
The positioning of Raytheon is very clear. It also produces low-budget films and relies on distribution and marketing to win.
Enlight has a ground-based distribution and marketing system. It has distribution personnel in dozens of key box office cities across the country. It has even set up local marketing and distribution offices to carry out ground promotion and publicity, film arrangement in theaters, and follow-up. A combination of local advertising.
In other words, it is down to earth.
Enlight Media owns the largest terrestrial film distribution network in the country, which is what Zhou Yutang likes.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this stage, such a distribution system can at least help a movie increase the box office by 3040.
After chatting with Xie Nan for a few minutes, Li Xiaoping walked in enthusiastically, put down her mobile phone, and reached out to Zhou Yutang.
"The distribution of this film is done by light, resources On the other hand, you don’t have to worry. I will be the producer and I will definitely make it to your satisfaction.”
“However, the preliminary preparation for this project will take a little longer, about three or four months, because I will do it. I still have a very important big project I’m working on, and I can’t spare the time for it right now.”
An investment of several million is really a small project for a big company like Guangguang.
It’s okay to have a longer preparation period. Anyway, we need to scout the location, form a photography team, select actors, and also improve the script.
Zhou Yutang could also understand, but he still pretended to ponder for a while, and finally made his request, "I want to have the right to decide the release schedule of the movie."
Li Xiaoping is easy to talk to. He smiled and said, "That's easy to talk about. Let's decide together when the time comes. I'm optimistic about this project and I definitely hope it will succeed. As for other issues, we can discuss them slowly."
"Happy cooperation."
< p>Zhou Yutang shook hands with Li Xiaoping without hesitation.It’s agreedCooperation, it was almost time for dinner, Li Xiaoping said to have dinner together, and Zhou Yutang readily agreed.
In the social circle, eating and socializing are unavoidable. Besides, he also wanted to deepen his relationship with Sister Ping. But as soon as he went out, he saw Li Xiaoping diagonally facing the Lanzhou Ramen restaurant in the cafe. Pointing his finger
"Eat whatever you want, just here."
""
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched.
Sister Ping, you are the vice president of Guangguang after all, so this is the place to treat me to dinner
Not to mention arranging for a public relations lady, you must at least book a high-standard hotel.
The result is a national chain of Lanzhou cuisine.
Xie Nan noticed something strange in his expression, he smiled, and patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder, "Why, Sister Li is treating me, you still don't like it"
"That's not the case , I like both Lanzhou cuisine and Shaxian Hotel, and I often eat them at school."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.
"What the hell is Lanzhou Cuisine Shaxian Hotel?"
Xie Nan's face was filled with questions. Li Xiaoping also glanced at the sign over there. It was Lanzhou Ramen.
"This is a meme on the Internet"
Zhou Yutang explained briefly, which made Xie Nan amused, and said with emotion, "I have dealt with people from Huayi, and they are tall and tall." We went to the wine party, and then there were all kinds of celebrities."
Li Xiaoping glanced at him and said, "We don't do this mess"
"Haha, there are no female celebrities. Drinking companion, Yu Tang, you are disappointed."
Xie Nan also teased.
"Sister Nan, aren't you a female star?"
Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "The female host of the Lighthouse eats ramen with me. It's so honorable to go out."
"Stop."
Xie Nan went crazy. As a result, Zhou Yutang ran so fast that she was able to reach a safe distance of more than 10 meters in an instant. Even her Nine Yin White Bone Claws couldn't catch her. people.
Li Xiaoping also shook her head and smiled.
After all, he is still a young man in his 20s.
Well, it’s nice to be young.
