Let you host the artist, how can you become a superstar

Chapter 409 0408: The Exclusive Variety Show of Huafeng Artists
In recent years, the domestic film market has ushered in unprecedented prosperity, from the 2014 billion box office of "The Great Battle" in 44, the 2017 billion box office of "Transhuman Organization 2" in 48, and the 2020 "Galactic Empire" With a box office of 78 billion, the super high box office achieved by these films has allowed people to see the development prospects of the Huaguo film market, and it has also made people believe that the Huaguo film market is increasingly playing an indispensable role.

However, among these high-grossing films, only "The Great Battle" is a domestic film.

Although the development prospects of the domestic film market are promising, there are certain problems in domestic films.

Film development to this day, from technology, content to personnel selection, is still following the old path of "imitative innovation". In a fundamental sense, this is not the so-called innovation, which is the reason for the weak competitiveness of domestic films.

Now young people who are new to the entertainment industry, after receiving a film, generally want to show their glamorous self instead of paying attention to the value of the film itself. Therefore, there will be a large number of young people who only have good looks, acting skills and the film itself. There is no "little fresh meat" who does not understand. From a certain point of view, what the Huaguo film industry lacks today is outstanding talents for making and learning films, not "little fresh meat" without acting skills.

At present, there are problems in the development of domestic films such as high box office, low word-of-mouth, emphasis on quantity, and low quality. Most of them still stay in the routine of imitating Hollywood blockbusters or emphasizing appearance and following the fan economy, making people unable to see new things. There is no bright feeling.

and then……

Django was born in 2021 and entered the movie circle with "Initial D". In the next three years or so, it showed a good trend of steady rise and increased stamina. Each film won excellent box office and Word of mouth, while changing the minds of the audience.

Inherent thinking: domestic films can only get high box office with main theme films and comedy films.

Change: It turns out that the box office of martial arts movies can be so high!

The explosion of "Swordsman: Sunflower Collection" has become a milestone in the rise of domestic films, and it has also given domestic filmmakers a feeling of "getting better".

Today, Django and his movies have made many screenwriters, directors, and investors understand the truth that actors with high salaries and high fans are not the only guarantee for a movie’s box office. On the basis of the quality of the movie, their existence may be a bonus item , but the box office of a movie depends on the superimposed effect of various factors, and good content is an important guarantee for the box office.

To sum up, high-quality films can make actors and directors, good directors can also make good films and make actors, and equally good actors and directors will also add points to the film.

After the audience and filmmakers have such a change, it will be beneficial to promote the development of domestic films.

Whether you like Django or not, you have to praise him at this moment. The reason is very simple. He has raised the status of domestic films by himself!

On the other side, Mo Lan's phone was bombed again.

Woke up early this morning, one phone call after another, one WeChat message after another.

Seeing that "Fast and Furious Prequel 1" went to 18 billion, and "Swordsman: The Sunflower Collection" went to 45 billion, the investors are very happy. Without Django's contact information, they can only find Mo Lan. On the one hand, it is flattering, and on the other hand, it is the investment of booking new plays.

"In the entertainment industry, he is the only one who can make investors so polite!"

Mo Lan hung up the phone and couldn't help feeling emotional.

After being busy for a while, the phone finally went quiet.

Just as I was about to rest, another call came in.

Mo Lan didn't want to answer it at first, but after seeing it was Qian Song, she could only press the connect button.

"Mo producer..."

"Hello, Mr. Qian."

"I read the 2025 film and television drama shooting plan announced on your official blog on the [-]st day. Speed ​​Universe is two movies, right?"

"Yes, Fast Furious 2 and 3."

"I want to invest more."

"I can't make the decision on this matter. It has always been decided by Chairman Jiang. I will tell him."

……

The phone calls and WeChat messages are basically all about investment.

In the afternoon, Mo Lan came to Hengdian and gave Jiang Ge a report.

"Do you want to invest more..."

Jiang Ge thought about it, and Qian Song was a good investor because he was responsive in borrowing cars and never intervened in film production, so he said: "These two Fast and Furious series are an important step for us to gain a foothold overseas. Since someone is willing to invest money, then we raise the budget.”

原版《速度与激情4》2009年成本8500万美元，《速度与激情5》2010年成本1.25亿美元。

He originally set 6.5 million yuan and 8.5 million yuan, and he will add more when there is not enough.

Now the situation has changed, so it will be like this: "The budget of the prequel 2 is increased to 8 million, and the budget of 3 is increased to 10 billion. The extra part will be all invested in external investment."

The reason why I chose to release most of the cost is because this series is mainly overseas. Judging from the market feedback of "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" and "Fast and Furious Prequel 1", the risk is still relatively high.

"Okay." Mo Lan nodded, then turned to ask: "Where is the candidate?"

Django smiled and said, "You'll be fine."

Mo Lan changed another to-do item and said, ""Kung Fu Panda" has passed the review. When is it scheduled to be released?"

Jiang Ge thought for a while, and replied: "May [-]st, it just so happens that the summer vacation will be shortly after the release, which can be regarded as a boost to "Langya Bang"."

Mo Lan asked again: "Is the publicity gimmick mainly about 'National Man's Light' or 'National Man's Peak'?"

"No, no, no..." Jiang Ge repeatedly denied, saying: "It's too early to promote these two banners now. There is a special situation in the domestic animation market. It was originally a good work, but because it was praised Too high, and then inexplicably fell down."

Mo Lan mentioned: "We have the reputation of "Things That Rabbit That Year"..."

Jiang Ge said with a smile: "Because of this, we have to be more cautious, and we can't lose the word of mouth that we have worked so hard to do."

Due to the development of technology, the barriers to entry in the animation industry seem to be getting lower and lower, and many production teams seem to have a point of view, as long as the IP is well operated, they can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and stand invincible .

Obviously, this cognition is wrong.

Animation is just one form of artistic expression. Many people think that "the plot is the soul of animation, and the picture serves the plot". This is not entirely true, because the opposite is also true. "So, if the story is bad or the picture is not good, it is not necessarily a bad animation, but a good animation work must have both picture and story.

For example, "Things About That Rabbit That Year" has a good story and weak graphics, while "Kung Fu Panda" has a weak story and good graphics.

In addition, from an aesthetic point of view, everyone has different interests, some people are after selling meat, some people are after fantasy, some people are after dog food, some people are after blood, some people are after emotion... In short, each has its own Everyone likes and judges from a wider perspective, that is, fans' views, passers-by's views, and even sunspots' views.

Jiang Ge continued: "There is still a long way to go in the future to promote with the attitude of learning from the predecessors in the animation industry."

Mo Lan understood. After talking about business affairs, she turned to private affairs, and asked curiously, "By the way, have you accepted CCTV's invitation?"

"Going to the Spring Festival Gala?" Jiang Ge frowned, and pondered: "Actually, I want our artists to go even more."

He sang "Blue and White Porcelain" and made a guest appearance in "A Chinese Ghost Story" purely because he likes it, not his debut, so it doesn't make much sense to go to the Spring Festival Gala.

Mo Lan smiled and said, "Others can't get in if they want to, but you can get in but don't want to get in."

Jiang Ge shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I'll think about it for a few days, and there are still several scenes in "Langya Bang". If I go, the delay will not be a day or two."

The filming is going on intensely, and actors continue to leave the crew after finishing.

Another week passed.

The daily box office of "Fast and Furious Prequel 1" is less than 1 million, but the total box office has reached 15 billion, and there are still ten days to be released in the world. It is not a big problem to exceed 18 billion.

Since the release of "Swordsman: Sunflower Treasure", the box office has been smashing, breaking 10 billion in a day and a half. boil up.

It was released for a week, and with amazing explosive power, it became the "phenomenal blockbuster" of domestic films in the new year of 2025. At present, the total box office has exceeded 26 billion, accounting for 80% of the film schedule and taking [-]% of the whole day. At the box office, there is still a strong room for growth.

A film scheduling manager of a film studio said: "The film scheduling accounts for about 99%, and the attendance rate can reach [-]%. In the past, it was only available in some imported Hollywood blockbusters."

Moreover, good things come in pairs, and Chen Gan also sent good news.

《仙剑奇侠传》单机版游戏正式开售20天，普通版（99元）卖出300万份，豪华版（159元）卖出75万份，尊享版（299元）卖出12万份，合计4.51亿。

Furthermore, the total number of pre-sales on both the stm and wg platforms exceeded 50 copies.

The point is that hard peripherals such as gashapons, hanging cards, models, and figures, as well as soft peripherals such as stationery, clothing, key chains, mobile phone chains, etc., are also very popular.

Recovering the 6 million production + publicity cost is already a certainty.

As for making money, whether it is Chen Gan or Jiang Ge, there is no mandatory requirement. The main purpose is to make a name for yourself in the game market and get a good reputation, so as to increase the competitiveness and expectations of subsequent games.

"It's a pity, I thought I could see you at this year's Spring Festival Gala."

Zhou Lingwei learned that Jiang Ge rejected CCTV's invitation, and her face showed regret.

"I can't catch up with the time. "Langya Bang" just finished on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. It's the third time for the Spring Festival Gala. I rushed there. I'm exhausted physically and mentally. I'm not in the mood to sing." Jiang Ge gave his reasons, but in reality I don't really want to go.

"Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future." Zhou Lingwei muttered, thinking that as long as he sang again, he would definitely be able to go up.

Django listened, but didn't say anything, now matter, present heart, just follow the fate, future matter, future heart, why bother.

"But..." Zhou Lingwei smiled slightly, and said again: "It's good to take a vacation and have a good rest."

Indeed, after half a year of busy work, it is time to enjoy life. No, the two families came to Hainan to celebrate the New Year together.

When it comes to Chinese New Year, there is a question that cannot be avoided, that is, "How is the weather during the Spring Festival? Is it cold? Will it rain or snow?".

I checked the weather forecast in advance, and the weather in Hainan is clear from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year, and the temperature on the whole island does not change much. The highest temperature during the day is 22-27°C, and the lowest temperature at night is 15-20°C.

It might not be accurate, but it won't be that bad either.

By the sea, the sun is shining brightly and the blue waves are rippling.

Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei were wearing big sunglasses, leaning on rocking chairs, drinking coconut water, very comfortable.

"I sold "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" and "Brother Riding the Thorns" to Blueberry TV." Zhou Lingwei said suddenly.

"It's very good. This kind of program is usually the highlight of the first season, and it can be sold at this time to get a good price." Django thinks it's no problem.

There are many reality shows in China in recent years, and there are many good-looking ones, but there is a general rule, almost always the first season is always the best in ratings, and the ratings are getting worse as it goes later, and many of them are also because of It was far less than the first season and was rejected by passers-by and fans, which attracted a lot of scolding.

"Hey..." Zhou Lingwei smiled and said, "We think the same."

Django grinned, winked and said, "Otherwise we are a couple."

"You are so beautiful." Zhou Lingwei smiled like a flower, and turned to say: "There is something I want to discuss with you."

Django nodded, looked at her, and waited for her to continue.

Zhou Lingwei said: "We have designed a variety show. The name has not been decided yet. The theme type is a reality show accompanied by voice interaction. The themes are 'family affection', 'love', 'friendship', 'dream' and 'life'. The period is divided into two parts. In the first part, the stars tell their stories to the audience with their personal growth and emotional experience, and with the most plain emotions; and hearing stories from audiences across the country...”

Django heard it interesting, and unconsciously put on a smile.

After talking about the general idea, Zhou Lingwei took two sips of coconut juice and asked, "How is it?"

Jiang Ge smiled and said: "It's my thing. This variety show has no complicated process, eye-catching dazzling special effects, simple form, and some are quiet listening and companionship. Listen to everyone's perception of life, emotion, and friends. It will make you feel warm.”

Zhou Lingwei was delighted to hear that, and was about to say what she wanted to discuss with him, when he said, "Can this show be exclusive to Huafeng artists? I can provide a new song for each theme as the ending song .”

Zhou Lingwei was overjoyed when she heard the words, and blurted out, "How do you know what I'm going to say?"

Django smiled and said, "There is a tacit understanding."
