my time as a director

Then I summarized the projects in 2012, mainly including The Truman Show, When Happiness Knocks on the Door, Funeral Coffin, Jaws 3, Pacific Rim, and Chills with an investment of 2000 million.

There are two TV dramas, one is finished filming, and the other is almost ready, it will start soon

Of the four films, the sequel to Journey on Journey was postponed for one year. After the copyright of Ghost Chuideng was bought, production has not yet started.

The cost of this series is definitely not low, with a large number of special effects, it is conservatively estimated that the production cost will be at least 15 billion, so there is no rush.

The TV series about 33 days of lovelorn is still preparing the script.

Xue Xiaolu, whom Du Yang contacted with Zhao Jun, and Lu Yang, the best newcomer director of Golden Rooster for 11 years, the former is writing the script, while the latter has not started the production yet, but they are both willing to accept investment from Future Pictures.

Calculated in this way, in addition to the release of Pacific Rim in the next year, when happiness comes knocking on the door, I don’t know if Makino will be able to make it in a year, and counting the investment chill, there are four films that will be released.

Plus two TV series, six projects.

Compared with other companies, especially Huayang Media, which has a lot of TV business, the six projects are relatively small, but they are all high-quality products, and they can be compared in terms of quality.

As for the schedule, it has basically been set. Jaws 3 will be released in the summer vacation, synchronized overseas, and Truman's World Lunar New Year file.

"By the way, are there any major companies' plans for filming this year?" Li Qian asked Du Yang.

Du Yang said, "I only know a rough idea. Bernard announced that it will invest one billion yuan in film production this year, and announced the cooperation with Tsui Hark in the 3D blockbuster Lin Haixueyuan, The White-haired Witch, and Overheard 3, but currently it is only plan.

The ones that are really confirmed to be released next year should only be Great Shanghai starring Zhou Runfa and Xu Qiang, the Lion's Roar 2 starring Zhang Baizi and Xiao Shenyang, and The Great Magician, which will be released in a few days. "

"Hedong Lion Roar, everyone is busy making sequels." Li Qian was a little amused. Apart from making money, the only function of these sequels is to ruin their reputation.

However, how should I put it, there are too few blockbuster directors, and it is a last resort to make a sequel.

The Xiangjiang film industry has also been brilliant for more than 20 years, and the movies in those 20 years are enough to cause disasters for ten years.

For the rest of Huayang Media, there will be big news next year, with 2, Painted Skin [-], Zodiac, and Tai Chi series.

Guang Xian is still doing small things, the Four Famous Detectives and Tongque Terrace, Pony has Ning Hao's Golden Heist, Xingmei has Wang's Feast, Blood Drops, and Brother Cheng Kai's Search.

These are probably the ones with box office potential. As for the schedule, it can only be guessed based on the situation of each company.

Du Yang pushed his glasses and analyzed, "12 and The King's Feast must be released in December during the New Year's Eve. The twelve zodiac, painted skin, and Tai Chi series. It is estimated that there should be two in the summer vacation and the National Day. The twelve zodiac As an action comedy, it may be moved to the Spring Festival.

Xiao Ma needs to ease the financial pressure. The Golden Heist has already been completed. It is estimated that it should be released as soon as possible before the summer vacation.

We are mainly competing for the summer and New Year’s slots. It is estimated that the main opponents are the big productions of [-], Painted Skin, Tai Chi series, Four Famous Catchers, Tongque Terrace, Great Shanghai, Blood Droplet, and Wang’s Feast. "

The ten major productions with an investment of at least 6000 million yuan are concentrated in the two periods of summer and Lunar New Year, and the competition is unprecedentedly fierce.

This also puts a lot of pressure on everyone, and each movie has the potential to sell well.

Li Qian smiled indifferently, "It seems that next year will be relatively easy, there is no strong opponent, keep an eye on the film with the highest investment by several major companies, Huayang's [-] and the zodiac, Bernard The Great Shanghai, Guangxian’s Tongque Terrace, and Xingmei’s Wang’s Feast, it’s best to show them all during the New Year’s Eve, and catch them all!”

"Alright Director Li."

Everyone nodded. I was not treated by the God of Medicine last summer, but they remembered it clearly. It's a pity that there were no films released by major companies at that time. It's time to get back to the scene this year.

If a year ago, they really didn't have the confidence to compete with major companies.

But Li Qian sold 16 billion at the box office. With this figure, he has enough confidence to sweep all major companies, and he is not afraid of any big movies.

It's a pity for Li Qian. It's impossible to sell the funeral coffin. When happiness comes knocking on the door, I don't know if it will be available next year. The box office of Hong Kong movies is limited, so I can only take revenge selectively.

If it is possible, Li Qian really wants to snipe each of their blockbuster movies, so that they can completely let go of their thoughts about themselves and be completely honest.

As for what is too domineering, go fuck it, let others say it, and you can control what others say.

If people are kind, they will be bullied. It's the same everywhere. Dogs understand this truth.

When you see a fierce dog, the more timid you back down and run, the more it will chase you.

"Actually, I think it's better to focus on one company this year. We don't have to compete with major companies at the same time. We don't have so many films. This will make them join hands again." Du Yang mentioned suggestion.

"With Director Li here, even if the major companies join forces again, what's the problem?" Zhao Jun said.

"But what about other films? Not every director is like Director Li, such as the Lunar New Year film. If major companies jointly target Li Xianji's Adventures, it may be a bit dangerous." Zhang Hao retorted.

"I think Mr. Du is right. I heard that [-] million of Bernard's billion-dollar film plan came from financing. The listing in North America was not smooth. If the financing goes wrong, Bernard will be in trouble. , we can focus on Bernard." Huang Yan suggested.

Zhong Lifang said, "Berner's main focus will be on 13, and next year there will be only one movie, Big Shanghai and Hedong Lion's Roar. The failure of these two movies may not be too painful."

Everyone wants to pick one out of the major companies here, and use it as the chicken in the "killing chickens to scare the monkeys".

Li Qian thought it was a good idea, so why not just stare at one company, thought for a while, and said, "Just Huayang, the five blockbuster films, [-] are always on the New Year's Eve file, and the provincial ones have to stare at each other. We will break down the big companies one by one, and the pattern of the film industry should also change."

So it was determined that in 2012, Huayang Media was the first to hit. For a new company to grow bigger, it must have an old giant weakened, otherwise, where would the market come from?

The year-end summary, and the project for the next year are all over, and finally Li Qian said something to Zhong Lifang.

"So, Sister Fang, your major is investment and financing. You will be in charge of setting up an investment department in the company. We will prepare to build an online ticketing platform."

"Ticket platform?"

Zhong Lifang was a little surprised and said, "Glava has already occupied 50% of the ticketing website market, and they want to become another one?"

"Liu Yong is not a business material at all." Li Qian shook his head

Li Qian gets angry at the mention of Glava. The 3000 million yuan in the last round of financing has just been burned, and it has been almost a full year.

The 50 market seems to be a lot, but there are only a few group buying websites for online ticket purchases, including the online ticket purchase websites of major theaters.

In the whole of December, which is the peak movie season, the number of ticket buyers of Glava only accounted for 12 of the total number of people. With such a low number, Li Qian was speechless.

As long as Liu Yong burns money quickly, even if mobile payment is not fully promoted, it will not be like this.

It doesn't matter if the money is burned slowly, the key is that the money is not burned in the right place.

Liu Yongyi is not hype, and the second is not to expand market share, but to spend energy and money on improving user experience.

How good is Grava's service now?

After you book the ticket, Glava will send a text message to plan the parking lot and transportation route for you. It will tell you in detail where the movie theater you are going to park, the weather conditions of the day, and the traffic conditions near the movie theater.

Allow users to print a sentence on the ticket, customize it, and print whatever you want.

I also set up an online community, inviting stars and directors to do offline activities from time to time to meet with the audience.

Just busy doing services, the speed of expansion can be called turtle speed.

"Now there is no capital to focus on this part of the ticketing website. Glava seems to be the best, but once the capital notices this, Glava will definitely not be able to sustain it. I can't wait for Glava to go bankrupt before starting a ticketing platform. Now Let's start preparing." Li Qian said.

In fact, this is the initial stage of entrepreneurship, the choice between improving services first or expanding the market first. Internet companies, if they want to grow bigger, can only choose the latter.
