Chapter 1082: Cut Hu again?
On September 9, the annual Bazaar Star Charity Night kicked off again, and the enthusiasm of various people to discuss it remains high.
This fashion event has caused a "big earthquake" every year due to its dazzling star lineup and various explosive topics. Last year's position storm was raised again, and has been lingering in the top ten hot topics on Weibo for many consecutive days.
This year, Bazaar summoned the most powerful star lineup in history. Although it failed to summon the dragon, it gave enough melons and let the onlookers eat enough;
What do passersby like to see the most?
There is no doubt that they must be stars from all walks of life, especially those who like to compete for beauty on the red carpet, which is their favorite;
As we all know, Meng Qingzhou doesn’t like to walk the red carpet, Su Mang didn’t expect to move this great god. Even Xiaohu and the others confirmed it repeatedly before putting it on the red carpet list;
The little fox with aura was holding Zixuan and took the lead on the red carpet with several sisters. The same strapless slim long skirt attracted the attention of the seven beauties. Their clothes were made by Reba and Ruisi Design Department, so they would never wear the same clothes;
This makes many actresses wearing high-end dresses feel bored. If you do things like this, everyone wants to be unique. It’s better for you sisters to play, but it’s a perfect match. How can others play?
I walked through the red carpet with a smile on my face, and no matter how unhappy I felt, I could only hold it in my heart;
"Hehe, we have stolen a lot of people today. Sister Mi, maybe why are they scolding us now!"
"If you have the ability, you will be yelling at me in front of me, what's the ability to break my mouth behind my back?"
After entering, I saw Meng Qingzhou occupying a table alone and looking around as if nothing had happened. Qianqian chuckled: "Are you guessing that Su Mang will arrange for those people to sit at the same table with the big boat?"
Zixuan helped Yaya to pull the hair on her chest behind her, looked at Lao Meng and said, "Who else can you? Yu Dong, Da Lao Wang and others, look carefully after a while. Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing are here, so what's wrong!"
The little fox turned his head and looked at the entrance of the red carpet. Seeing Lao Fan and Empress Zhang signing autographs, he spat disdainfully and said domineeringly: "If they dare to mess around, don't blame me for taking ruthless actions!"
Reba pretended to be timid and said submissively: "So scared, Sister Mi, you have turned evil!"
Zixuan seemed to suddenly think of something and pushed Xiao Di: "Go and ask your uncle, what should we do if we donate later? Should we donate separately or together in the name of Xinli? By the way, how much will it be donated? You can ask him to make an idea."
Xiaoyuanying continued: "Donate in the name of our Lao Meng family, so domineering!"
Xixi looked at her little round face as if she was looking at a fool: "You are stupid in filming, and you are still in the Meng family. The annual Bazaar donations are in their personal name, don't you know?"
Xiaogu gave Tianxian a angrily look at her. He didn't want to pay attention to her. He couldn't even joke, he was bored!
The girl walked towards Lao Meng gracefully, and from time to time, she checked around and saw if anyone had taken photos. Since she was here, how could she have no scandals?
"Uncle, it's so miserable for me to sit here with you?"
Xiao Di sat down beside Lao Meng, raised his hand and picked up Meng Qingzhou's teacup and took a sip. How could the reporters around him miss such good materials? They kept taking photos of "slap";
Lao Meng understood the girl's thoughts in a second, and immediately cooperated to pinch her another grape. Seeing that she opened her red lips slightly and wanted him to feed her, she kicked her under the table;
"Hey, don't go too far, your sister Mi's eyes are almost glaring out!"
"Coward, uncle, you are so pitiful!" He said to Lao Meng and took the grapes from him;
"Sister Zixuan asked me to ask you, how much will we give you to donate later?"
Lao Meng leaned back slightly and looked at Zixuan and the others across several tables: "It's rare to come once. You sisters are definitely not satisfied if they don't make it to the hot search. We have contracted the top eight donations, so how about it?"
Reba said "Oh" indifferently, and chatted with her uncle for a while. Seeing that more and more people came in, the girl stood up and returned to her desk;
As Zixuan expected, Meng Qingzhou's table was really Yu Dong and the others, with two or three innocent faces. If it weren't for the introduction of Da Lao Wang, Lao Meng would have no impression;
"Lao Meng, why are you thinking about it today? You thought you won't come this year?"
Yu Dong and Wang Changtian sat down next to Lao Meng on the left and right. Huang Zhonglei was so idle that he could not rest. After greeting Lao Meng, Li Ruigang, who was pulling gravity, wandered around;
"Do you think I want to come, but I can't help but understand?"
"I understand, what's wrong with this? There is only one person missing there and only two tables of mahjong. How can we not understand, right, Lao Wang?"
After Zhang Ziyi came in, he kept staring at Meng Qingzhou. He was about to go over and flirt with him when he heard Fan Bingbing calling her: "Don't go, haven't you seen Yang Xiaohu and Tang Zixuan staring at you?"
"What's wrong with saying hello between friends? You are afraid of Yang Xiaohu, but I'm not afraid!"
Old Fan's face stagnated. When the little fox intercepted her endorsement, although time had changed, he still felt a knot in his heart;
"Haha, if you have the ability, you go. I don't want to try those amazing people anymore. Don't think that they don't know your relationship with Meng Qingzhou, but they just didn't catch it. Ziyi, I advise you to keep a low profile!"
Zhang Ziyi was scared or not, of course she was scared. It didn't matter if she said ruthless words behind her back. If she was really worried about several younger generations, she knew in her heart that she had no good results;
"Hey, you said that Lao Meng is over 30 years old, so his family doesn't urge him to get married? There are so many children, right?"
The two stood aside. Anyway, they were very famous and not many of them were around them;
"Marry? He's so fucked. You don't know who Lao Meng wants to take care of him, not to let go of any of them, let alone have children. Who will he marry?"
These two old ladies actually sighed at the same time. How come there is really no good man in the entertainment industry!
"You two are poisonous. Gravity has only been established for a few years. It is not easy to have a good project. Lao Wang, you should be a person!"
Meng Qingzhou leaned on the back of the chair, looking at the two old scum who had been talking and laughing with Li Ruigang before;
Gu Yu
"Megalodon";
The projects sold by Warner are also attracted by domestic investors. Lao Meng doesn’t find it strange. Although 2016 was the slowest year for the total box office of domestic movies, the total box office is still close to 50 billion, not far from the United States;
With Hollywood's urinary nature, of course, we have to catch the mainland market and make a big fry. The best way is to play together;
"Why is it so poisonous? I asked someone to ask. Now there is nothing left except the male protagonist. Warner has only launched a project at the beginning of the year. Everyone has a chance. It is his ability to win Lao Li, but what if we win it!"
There are only a few domestic film and television companies that dare to pay. If you consider the company's sustainable development, there will definitely be no more than three companies that can really pay;
What's more, the domestic film and television market is not short of money at present, but why should we spend money to make money when we can save money? Film companies are not fools, the special effects are cool and the later is touching. Is it really useful to have a grand scene? It is obvious that a young and handsome girl can still make a big profit when she is in front of the screen, so why bother so much?
You can earn tens of thousands of yuan by lying down and struggle to move bricks for a day to earn 50 cents. If you were a film company, which one would you choose?
It is difficult to make a net profit of hundreds of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars in investment to make a profit. If you are an investor, which one would you choose?
This is the current reality.
There are two different concepts about having money and having enough money in film companies. Currently, Chinese movies are the most expensive, such as the Gods and the Ferryman. It is said that it is the upcoming "Operation Red Sea" that will be released during the Spring Festival, and it has only invested less than 60 million US dollars. This budget can only make a decent romantic film in the United States, which has nothing to do with commercial blockbusters.
"Avatar" is $500 million, "Transformers 4" is $200 million, "Captain America 3" is $350 million, and "Avengers 3+4" is a joint shooting of $1 billion. This is not the same capital strength as the same order of magnitude.
Another one is the ability to spend money. Among the relatively healthy film and television companies in China, whether it is Wan Chongshan, Wanda, Huayi, Light, or Bona, all large companies can afford 200 million US dollars, but it does not mean that you can spend 200 million US dollars.
If you give you enough money, can you make Hollywood blockbusters? Then Hollywood doesn’t have to do it. The same problem may be easier to change the subject. If you give enough money, can we make F22? If you give enough money, can we make Ferrari? If you give enough money, can the Chinese team win the World Cup?
To sum up, the total investment of the three Hobbit sectors is 4.5 billion, and the total box office of the three Hobbit sectors in China is 765+446+3.16=1.545 billion.
The total investment of Interstellar Crossing was 1.135 billion, and the total box office in China was 751 million.
The total investment of Amazing Spider-Man 2 is 1.75 billion, and the total box office in China is 591 million.
Judging from these data, these films are not even enough to make a profit in China. Of course, they are not afraid, they have global box office.
Some people must ask why they only count the Chinese box office and not the global box office?
Alas, to be honest, they have global box office support. Do you think Chinese movies have box office influence around the world? Do you think China can create super cultural symbols like the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit overnight that have been popular all over the world for decades? Or do you think China has a master director like Nolan who is extremely attractive globally?
The current situation in China is that most movies can only rely on the local market, because we do not have a mature culture that can be exported to the outside world. Should we export the core ideas of Confucian culture to the outside world?
Although the domestic market is currently stupid and has a lot of money and is constantly breaking box office records, in the face of Hollywood-style commercial blockbusters that are often invested in billions, the Chinese market is really not enough to see.
Only when China forms a mature film industry system and exports its own film culture to the world can we be qualified to talk about Hollywood-style commercial masterpieces, and we still have countless ways to go before that day. At present, we are just toddlers, and we have just been able to take two or three steps.
Don’t think that if you have a few money in your pocket in China, you can compare with Hollywood. Besides, in fact, it may not be rich. This is not a matter of money at all. No matter how much money you have, it won’t work.
It is said that coal bosses and Internet companies like the entertainment industry, but you can’t count them all in the film and television market, which is unreasonable;
People also want to promote people, or how did they spread it if they brought funds to the group?
"I've gotten into Warner's relationship with you two?"
Yu Dong waved his hand and said that if he really wanted to hook up, they might not have come to Meng Qingzhou. These two people have inquiries. Qinglian Film and Television has a good connection in Hollywood and is backed by Wan Chongshan, the largest film and television company in China. The most important thing is that it is rich. In the eyes of the six major people, it is more worthy of cooperation than Bona, Light;
"It's really not!" Seeing Meng Qingzhou's suspicious expression, Wang Changtian quickly explained;
"Then you two tell me what this means, invite me to invest together, or..."
Yu Dong looked around and whispered: "Qinglian Film and Television is developing well now. If you come forward, the chance is much greater than gravity. I just need to drink some soup with Lao Wang!"
Lao Meng pointed at the two of them: "I said, you two are experts, you have invested in dozens of movies. Which one is sure to make money before filming? What trilogy doesn't count."
Wang Changtian patted the table lightly and leaned against Lao Meng again: "To be honest, Warner means that only one foreign investor needs, preferably one Chinese company. I heard that someone also asked Qinglian Film and Television, did you receive the email?"
Meng Qingzhou has not opened an email for at least half a year. Qinglian Film and Television's management rights have been given to Zhong Lizhan long ago. Under normal circumstances, he will not contact him directly;
"I'm such a big boss, can't I always pay attention to a small company under my jurisdiction, or is it in the United States?"
Big Lao Wang and Yu Dongchong Lao Meng competed with the middle finger. This was so vulgar!
"Also, the six major Hollywood stars are so popular that they don't spit out their bones. If you don't need to consider the income around you, you will definitely not have a share. How to calculate the box office revenue? Is it proportional to the global box office, or is it just the domestic box office? Do you two know about these?"
Up to now, the most successful cases of domestic investment in Hollywood movies basically come from DMG. Whether it is "The Ring Messenger", "Iron Man 3", or "The Transcendent Hacker", it has formed a certain degree of continuity. In terms of project selection and resource integration capabilities, which boss Wu is really good at it.
Others, such as "Cloud Map" by Xinyuanye and "Supervision Squad 2" participated in by LeTV, should be just cases in the trial and exploration stage, and the significance of training is greater than the return on investment. In these projects, in addition to participating in investment and providing resource support, China is mainly responsible for the distribution in China.
Moreover, DMG's method is to invest and purchase on behalf of others, which means to exchange investment for the film's agency distribution rights and participate in global box office sharing, but not participate in the project operation of a film. It is considered to be the role of an investor and an issuer.
The cooperation in the domestic market is not much different from buying films. The box office share in the foreign market is not as high as the media reports, because all foreign regions are bought out by publishers, so there is no connection between the copyright fees obtained by the producer and the box office.
As for overseas copyright fees and box office sharing in the local North American market, marketing costs, production costs, etc., basically, the box office revenue of a Hollywood movie is definitely a loss in the book, so domestic companies are basically zero in the global box office sharing, or they can receive a consolation prize.
Meng Qingzhou is interested. There are two reasons: can you raise the performance of the new calendar that will be on the market, and can you find something for postpartum Qianxi to do. In terms of English speaking ability, can Lotus compare with the fairy?
