my time as a director

The Breakup Master happened to be released just in time for New Year's Day, and it was another comedy film. Its box office reached 25 billion in the first four days of the weekend.

Chapter 501

After New Year’s Day, although a series of new films have been released, there are high-profile variety films such as Extreme Challenge: Royal Treasure, and Hollywood blockbusters such as Kung Fu Panda 3 and Star Wars 7, but there is no Lunar New Year file for Xinhualu. Champions pose no threat.

With a box office of nearly 15 billion, Xinhua Lufang won another Lunar New Year box office champion for Future Pictures, and also ranked fourth in the annual box office.

As for the other Lunar New Year movies, although Lao Paoer had a good reputation, the box office still failed to break through the one billion mark, just over [-] million.

There are not many female audiences in this film, except for the two fans of Xiaoxianrou. After all, it is a man's drama. The only heroine that can be remembered by the audience is the scene of pushing the cart. Female audiences Impossible to be interested.

Lao Paoer's release history, but fell from heaven to earth, the box office trend in the second week once gave Huang Zhongjun and Ma Xiaogang the hope of overtaking, but they didn't expect it to be just a flash in the pan.

Moreover, in the end, it was still short of the last film before the billion mark.

Ip Man 3 only got [-] million box office in the end, although for an action movie, it is already a record-breaking hit.

However, in the later stage of the screening, it was also verified by the General Administration that there were fake box office and self-purchased box office. The two companies Suning Crowdfunding and Kuailu Group, which raised funds for Ip Man 3 behind the scenes, were all involved.

Internet movie finance, the model of packaging movies into securities has failed.

It was another case of box office fraud, but this time it was not as simple as Monster Hunt. There were too many things involved behind it. Dozens of online small loan platforms were involved, and it was said that 30 retail investors were damaged.

Anyway, things are not clear, there is no result, and Ip Man 3 is not as popular as Monster Hunt, and it is not as big as Monster Hunt's box office.

However, for the industry, the impact is much greater than the movement on the Internet.

A popular movie was packaged as securities to raise funds, layer by layer, and easily raised more than one billion funds from retail investors.

Now there are rumors in the industry that Ip Man 3 is involved in tens of billions through dozens of p2p, loan companies, and wealth management companies.

Even if it is not as much as the rumors say, even if it is only 30 billion, it is still a huge number.

Before, someone in the company suggested that Li Qian should refer to this model, relying on projects such as Ghost Blowing Lamps, to be a little bolder, and it would be no problem to mobilize 50 billion funds.

But this time Ip Man 3, Kuailu, and Suning were investigated, and no one mentioned this matter again.

Even a movie wealth management product launched by Zhifubao before, they also stopped.

The capital market is crazy. No one in the industry thought that movies could do this before.

A film is financed layer by layer. It was originally worth two to three hundred million yuan, and it rolled down to several billion.

External capital also taught film and television companies a good lesson.

Li Qian was also taught a lesson by them. To be honest, this is crazy, 30 investors' money.

However, I once again saw clearly the face of these capitalists who poured into the film industry.

Although the result has not yet come out, this Internet film fund model has just come to an end. No one dares to commit crimes against the wind, and investors are not fools. The examples are right in front of us.

It is estimated that the industry can be cleaned up, a little bit cleaner.

But it was only a little bit better. Deng Chao's self-directed and self-acted Breakup Master won [-] million box office amidst a lot of scolding.

As a cross-industry director, Deng Chao took all the complaints and curses as a matter of course for making such a bad film.

However, fortunately, before being scolded for a few days, another big bad movie Extreme Challenge: Royal Treasure was released.

It's another variety movie, and it's justified to be criticized all over the Internet. Whether it's professional filmmakers, professional film critics, media or audiences, there is nothing good to say about it.

As a variety show with high reputation, there are actors like Huang Bo and Sun Honglei who have superb acting skills and good reputation. Originally, the audience still expected it. I hope this is not just for making money like the previous variety shows.

However, the audience was still disappointed, they all looked like birds.

In the nonsensical plot of throwing coins, six people were struck by lightning and traveled to the Ming Dynasty in the 16th century. It is estimated that the screenwriter has watched too much Singularity, even the way of time travel is the same, and they are struck by lightning in the same way.

The general plot is that the six leading actors are unwilling to sleep with Princess Baihua in Daming, and Wang Xun accidentally sculpts the emperor.

The emperor was killed by a modern middle-aged man in this way. If it was like this, the assassination would be too simple. Jing Ke and the others would cry when they saw it.

Later, the group of people traveled back to modern times under the lightning strike, the same place, different circumstances, and they were still on the shooting scene of Extreme Challenge, but everything has changed, the director is not the original director, and the protagonist of the reality show is also the same. It is no longer them, the names on the ID cards have changed hands.

It turned out that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty died at the wrong time, and the time was no longer their original time, which caused a butterfly effect and changed history, and the six people had become black households.

Then they will return to the variety show. In order to recover their identities, they decided to use the "Sacred Fire Order" given to them by Emperor Ming to find the royal treasure.

Do the task to win the treasure?

That's right, that's the plot.

Every time these missions are passed, they are doomed to lose a good brother. They all made their own choices. In the end, Huang Bo gave up Jiangshan Beauty just to find his former brother and sold a wave of brotherhood.

Unfortunately, no one was moved.

Just one word after reading it, embarrassing.

If there is one more word to add, it is scram!

All over the Internet, even loyal fans of variety shows are also spraying.

It was the same as when Where Did Dad go when it was released, scolding everywhere.

But at least they still have some box office. This film doesn't even have a box office, and it will exceed [-] million.

As a representative of domestic films, Extreme Challenge was completely abused by Kung Fu Panda and Star Wars 7 in the same period.

Domestic film garbage, these words appear frequently again.

No wonder the audience scolded, even if they didn't scold.

Before the Spring Festival, the National Federation and the Film Association held an external seminar to discuss variety movies again.

This meeting was mainly hosted by the Film Festival Association, and most of the participants were well-known directors in the industry.

Ma Xiaogang, Cheng Kaige, Huang Jianxin, He Ping, Li Shaohong and others, as well as the former director of Bayi Factory Ming, director Zhang of the Film Bureau and others were in charge.

Li Qian also came, anyway, this seminar is a criticism meeting, criticizing variety shows.

Although the protagonists are the directors, Director Zhang of the Film Bureau, who is the vice chairman of the Film Association, must speak at the beginning.

The leaders on the stage and all the famous directors sat together, and there were also many film workers, producers of film and television companies, and the media in the audience.

In terms of seniority, the directors here should be Huang Jianxin who was the first to say, after all, he is old and famous, but he hasn't been a director for many years, Cheng Kai started first.

Brother Cheng Kai looked like a veteran cadre, Shi Shiran said, "Actually, variety shows, no matter where is Dad, brother, extreme challenges, etc., no matter what the purpose of the film is, what are the general comments on him from the outside world? First of all, we should make it clear whether they are movies!"

Good guy, put your hat on, and directly demote variety shows out of the film industry.
