Chapter 409

During the Spring Festival, the movie market is booming, and audiences in Huaguo actually don’t have high requirements for movies, so basically as long as the movie is not too bad, it can get a good box office during the Spring Festival.

For example, "Hurricane Action" such as "Shaking Showdown".

But at the very least, it should be understandable and enjoyable for people to read.

For example, although "Operation Hurricane" has been complained by many viewers, it still can't get rid of the slots of domestic films with the main theme, but it does have a lot of highlights.

"Operation Hurricane" has a grand scene, and the various explosion scenes and car chase scenes in it are absolutely hot and exciting. Therefore, although the plot seems a bit dogmatic, it still won a good box office.

As for "Shocking Showdown", although the plot is a bit bloody, but there are big stars, news, and various marketing, so it has also been affirmed by the box office.

Of course, there are quite a few people complaining about it, but in comparison, this is still a relatively sincere domestic blockbuster in recent years.

However, during the Spring Festival period, although the film market is hot, there are also blockbuster movies, and the competition is naturally extremely fierce.

Some people laugh, and naturally some people cry.

Tianhua Films, as a newly rising film giant in recent years, is in a very embarrassing situation.

Tianhua Films is a subsidiary of Tianhua Group. Logically speaking, Tianhua Films needs money and resources, and relies on its own Tianhua Cinemas. It can be said that it has the right time, place and people.

However, in the past few years, Tianhua Films has been extremely embarrassed, and many veteran film and television professionals in the industry have joked behind their backs that they have been taken advantage of.

In fact, this is not only the case with Tianhua Films, several other film and television companies with domestic capital in the film and television industry are also facing the same problem as Tianhua, that is, only blooming but not fruiting.

I have invested in a lot of movies, but they have not been very successful.

Basically all tuition fees are paid.

Compared with those established film and television giants, Tianhua and other companies that have entered the film and television industry with capital are still somewhat unacceptable.

During the Spring Festival this year, Tianhua Group also gave it a go. It not only invited the famous domestic director Nan Ke to direct, but also gathered stars. But in the end, it was also released for a week, but the box office was only more than 3 million.

Let Tianhua Films become the laughing stock of the industry once again. Although it is normal for a film to succeed or fail, it is rare for Tianhua to lose habitually for many years.

If "The Iron Fist of Shame" hadn't been an unexpected hit last year, Yao Ding, the person in charge of Tianhua Films, would have been in the dark right away.

In fact, the group was already extremely dissatisfied with him, so "My Sassy Girlfriend" became Yao Ding's last straw.

Similarly, for the great director Nan Ke, the recent days are quite sad.

Nan Ke is not the kind of great commercial director. The film he collaborated with Tianhua this time is his transition work, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, which makes Nan Ke a little confused.

He didn't understand why a movie like "The Iron Fist of Shame", which he thought was low, ended up earning more than 20 billion at the box office, while the blockbuster he had worked so hard to create ended up hitting home.

"A cup of coffee, thank you."

After Nan Ke sat down, he turned his head and said something to the waiter.

"Wait a minute." The waiter nodded and left.

Nan Ke turned around, looked at Yao Ding who was sitting across from him, and said with a wry smile: "Old Yao, I really let you down this time."

It turns out that Nan Ke and Yao Ding have known each other for more than 20 years, and they are old friends. Nan Ke has always wanted to transform, but he has not been able to find investment, because his main focus was on literature and art, and Nan Ke is the director of the film festival. Regulars, but in the field of commercial films, there is no precedent for success.

And his project required an investment of hundreds of millions, so ordinary companies would not dare to accept it. Finally, he found Yao Ding.

Of course, Yao Ding didn't make the decision with a slap in the head. Such a large investment certainly couldn't be made by him alone, but he played an important role in it, so he had to take the blame for the failure in the end.

"There is no such thing as disappointment or disappointment. Winning or losing is a common thing in military affairs. I still have a chance if I lose once, but you, eh." Yao Ding said that he didn't blame Nan Ke for being fake, he had high hopes for Nan Ke, But I didn't expect that the result would be like this.

But as he said, before he took over Tianhua, Tianhua gave him three years, within three years, he could lose money and make various attempts, so although the project with Nanke failed, but because of the previous "Shame" The success of "The Shameful Iron Fist" will not make him step down directly, and there is another project "My Sassy Girl" to look forward to.

But Nan Ke is different, he is a director, the failure of a major commercial production will make him lose the trust of investors.

It is obviously not easy to start a big project.

Even Yao Ding, it is impossible to use him to run big productions.

Nan Ke smiled wryly and said: "Yes. This fall is indeed a bit miserable. What's worse is that until now, I still don't understand where I lost?"

At this time the waiter brought the coffee, Nan Ke picked up the coffee and took a sip, it was bitter, really bitter, just like his mood at the moment.

"By the way, you came to me today, maybe you just want to talk about this?" Nan Ke looked at Yao Ding, an old friend, and asked.

"Of course not. I came to you today to show you the way." Yao Ding said with a smile.

"Oh?" Nan Ke was really surprised at this moment.

"You know "The Iron Fist of Shame?" Yao Ding asked.

"Of course, to be honest, up to now, I still don't understand the success of this movie. I can't see through it." Nan Ke said with some regret.

"Don't say it's you. In fact, I am the same. In other words, many people in the industry don't understand why this movie has achieved such a great success." Yao Ding shook his head and said.

"The success of "The Iron Fist of Shame" has many factors, but the most critical factor is that it cannot be separated from one person." Yao Ding said looking at Nan Ke.

"You mean Lin Xiao?" Nan Ke was a little puzzled.

"That's right, it's Lin Xiao!" Yao Ding nodded.

"He is really an amazing person. Of course, it's too early to say this now, so I came to you today just to confirm with you again, is he really that amazing? " Yao Ding said with a smile.

"You mean?" Nan Ke was still a little confused.

"If a person succeeds once, it may be accidental, it is a coincidence, but if he achieves great success continuously, then it is not accidental." Yao Ding said.

"You mean, "My Sassy Girl"?" Nan Ke asked.

"Yes, "The Iron Fist of Shame" is actually led by Lin Xiao. It can be said that he played a crucial role in it. On the contrary, the director is not so critical."

"This time, the director of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is Chen He. He is Lin Xiao's old classmate, but he can only be regarded as a newcomer in the film industry. If "My Sassy Girlfriend" can still work under such circumstances If you continue to succeed, then you can be sure that Lin Xiao really has the ability to turn stones into gold."

"In your current situation, the most important thing is that you need a film to make a comeback. As far as I know, the most lacking thing in Ling Xiao Pavilion is a director. Therefore, if you take the initiative to join, I believe that you will be able to get a chance soon. , provided, of course, that "My Sassy Girl" continues to replicate the success of "Steel Fist of Shame."
