Chapter 1402: The Year of Bad Movies

In the Haina Film and Television Headquarters Building, in the chairman's office, which is simple but looks like a high-grade atmosphere, looking at the list of artists who have left the company this time, Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows: "This is someone taking the lead." ”

If it's just a two-person artist, it's normal, even if it's a pillar, it's normal, after all, everyone always says that people go to high places, and water flows to low places.

Even if Haina is now the first mountain in the film and television industry, people don't want to recite scriptures on your mountain, so they like to go to other mountains to be a monk, what can you do?

It's not just a few well-known movie stars who can go, but also some Xiaohong, and even a few newcomers with great potential, this matter seems a little wrong.

is famous, even if a small famous star has money in his pocket and is willing to compensate for liquidated damages. Or it is understandable that the wings are stiff and willing to fly solo, but these unfamous and talented people also have the money to pay liquidated damages, and they are obviously poached.

"I inquired, there are several companies in the industry who poached them, I called you to mention it before. You ......"

"Let's go, our company doesn't rely on artists to make money. Yang Dongxu interrupted Liu Zongsheng's words.

Just now I was just a little confused after seeing the small detailed list, and it wasn't too important. Not to mention that only these people are gone, even if all the artists in Haina are gone, Haina will not go out of business, and it is still the largest film and television company in China.

Now domestic film and television companies, the main business model is still lying on the artist to suck blood, it seems that the more big stars under the hands, the more profitable the company.

If you say that the more big stars, the more famous the film and television company is, Yang Dongxu admits this, after all, the eye-catching effect of big stars is really powerful.

But the most profitable is not necessarily, at least Haina is also running a brokerage company, and even in the past two years, he has been working hard to cultivate new artist successors.

But the bulk of Haina's money is not on the artist at all, there are undoubtedly two kinds of making money from the artist, the artist's salary commission, and the artist's commercial endorsement commission, there is no other way than these two.

But Haina is different, Haina's signature is cast by TV series and movies. Artists are only paid so much, and that is because the movies and TV series filmed are popular.

And capital is willing to pay a high price to find artists to shoot movies and TV series, because more money can be made through these investment capitals.

Therefore, on the whole, the artist's salary is only a small amount, and the market where movies and TV series operate is the bulk of the money.

And Haina is undoubtedly a very mature company that has made the surrounding market of movies and TV series, and sixty percent of the benefits generated by every movie and every step of TV series are in the hands of Haina.

Other related word industries follow the part-time job of more than one-third, as for the artist's salary or something, not even one percent, which shows what kind of share the artist's income occupies in Haina Company.

As for the lack of artists in my hands, what should I do if I can't find them to shoot when I am filming?

Shoot a celebrity audition to find out?

I have only heard that celebrities can't receive the play, and I have never heard of the actors who can't find the role when the capital investment is in a big production.

And Haina's works are well-known, not only the older generation of powerful artists want to participate, but also those first-tier and second-tier popular stars have broken their heads for some roles.

After all, as an artist, now is not the era of traffic, you must at least have one or two works to support it, don't you?

So Haina doesn't have to worry about finding actors to shoot his own works.

In addition to film and television works, the copyright tax of some songs, movies, and TV series remakes, plus investment in Hengdian and other related film and television industries.

It is also an important part of Haina's income, and these incomes are not at all comparable to the artist's salary and advertising endorsement. Therefore, Yang Dongxu doesn't care about whether the artist leaves or stays.

Because he has been a step above other domestic counterparts, he has stood in the ranks of top film and television giants such as Disney and Marvel who operate IP and speak with their works.

And Haina's business model even surpasses these companies, just because one is a Huaxia company and the other is a Hollywood company, and the world's influence is not as good as others.

But now Haina has taken root in Hollywood, and Yang Dongxu has done the promotion of Chinese culture for so many years, as well as the promotion of comics wrapped in a layer of Dongying skin.

It has also sown germinating seeds all over the world, and after a few years, these seeds can be harvested, and one IP after another can be hatched.

So even if you don't make movies and TV series in the future, just managing these popular IPs is enough for Haina to make a lot of money.

With these as the basis, his performance of this artist leaving is very flat, and it has become a natural thing. So he is not pretending to be a cup, nor is he pretending to be calm, he is really plain and has no waves in his heart.

"Most of the year has passed, how is Haina's performance this year?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"In other industries, the total revenue in the first half of the quarter increased by 21% compared to last year, which is quite good. This is the added value of the Asian market, not counting the movies that Hollywood made a lot of money in the first half of the year.

However, on the mainland side, we have invested in several good TV series this year, but the film aspect has decreased by more than 60% compared with last year, and many film projects have not been approved for investment after being reviewed by you. ”

Liu Zongsheng looked at his big boss helplessly, although the big boss rarely came to the company, he saw that he was giving a lot of power. But in fact, Yang Dongxu has always had a strong control over the company, for example, in this year's film investment market, he stopped it.

Haina's investment in movies fell by 60%.

"If there is no film investment, there will be no film investment, as long as the performance of the basic market grows, and the film makes less money, it will make less money. Anyway, it's been made up exponentially from those Hollywood blockbusters.

You know the reason for stopping those movie investments, and you have read those scripts yourself. Except for a few that are pretty good, the others are worse than the other, how to invest in this?

Hainer is rich, but he can't throw money into the dung pit, right? You collect some more scripts, I will find time to agree to read them, there are good scripts, we still invest in filming, and it is not that we will not make movies in the future. Yang Dongxu comforted.

The whole year of 2005 can be said to be the worst year for the film market. This worst does not mean that the overall box office of the film industry has declined this year.

In fact, with the continuous development of domestic cinemas and the film and television industry, the total box office of the Chinese film industry is refreshing records every year. Even when there are a lot of bad movies, the total box office is still rising steadily.

To say that this year is the worst year for blockbusters means that the film investment at every step has obviously increased a lot compared with the previous year, and the total box office of this year's movies is also expected to exceed last year's continuous growth.

The quality of the films that can be made, especially those so-called blockbusters, is simply sorry for such a high-quality and developing film market in China.

Throughout 05 years, except for a few movies that are considered to be big profits in "Myth". The others are all bad movies, and the total box office continues to rise, not because it is pushed up by classic movies, but because it is piled up by the number of countless bad movies.

Among them, the worst is undoubtedly the so-called "Wuji", which was sharpened in three years and cost more than 300 million yuan to build, which is simply rotten to a new height of domestic films.

Although it has not been released yet, the box office can only be calculated next year, and in the end, it seems that the total box office will reach about 180 million in the mainland alone.

But compared to its investment, the expectations of fans, and the attention of its peers, this is one of the epic big bad movies is indisputable.

Although it was the last to be released at the end of 05, it led the entire 05 bad movie market and didn't run.

Compared with all kinds of bad movies in the film industry, the film and television drama market in 05 still satisfies the audience and investors.

First of all, "Bright Sword" supported by CCTV can be said to have broken the barriers of many previous anti-Japanese dramas and presented the war scenes relatively realistically.

It can be said that it is necessary to have quality and reputation, and it has already been broadcast, and it has directly begun to impact CCTV's broadcast record. It set a benchmark for future Anti-Japanese War dramas.

followed by "The Legend of Sword and Fairy Part I", "Baolian Lantern", "No. 1 in the World", and "Little Fish and Flowers". Even the youth idol drama "The Prince Becomes a Frog" cooperated by Haina and Wanwan has been popular all the way and is popular all over the country.

So compared with the piles of bad movies, this year's TV drama market can be said to be a fight between gods. Even if the TV series has a bad reputation, it can at least win the ratings.

Some TV series are classics that cannot be surpassed in the future.

So I looked at the movie script that Hainer was going to invest in, and then looked at the script for the production of the TV series. At that time, Yang Dongxu didn't drink much, so he naturally threw the money invested in movies into these TV series.

"What about next year? Do you still increase investment in TV dramas to do the peripheral market and reduce investment in movies?" Liu Zongsheng couldn't help asking.

As the boss of the film and television industry, Haina has continuously reduced its investment in films this year, and Haina has attracted the attention of many people in the same industry.

If this year's film market is sluggish, it will be fine, if an epic blockbuster breaks out, it may become an opportunity for other peers to surpass Haina, although this opportunity is only a very small gap. But the nest of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and it had to be prevented in advance.

So after Yang Dongxu ordered to reduce this year's film investment, unless he met a script that he agreed to to invest. Liu Zongsheng has reservations about Haina's refusal to invest in "Wuji", a very popular movie that has been hyped.

"Is there a blockbuster worth investing in?"

Although it is only the second half of 05, there is nothing wrong with planning the film investment in 06, after all, it takes time to shoot a movie.

Start planning now, investing in those movies that will be released early next year is a bit rushed, and you need to plan early.

Director Zhang has already made a sound when he is ready to shoot a blockbuster, saying that the total investment is a blockbuster that may exceed 350 million. Liu Zongsheng said.

"Lao Mouzi's movie, what is the name of the movie, is there a script?" Yang Dongxu is still looking forward to the works of the national teacher.

Although from the perspective of commercial blockbusters, the works of the national teacher are not super popular, but from the perspective of classics, the national teacher has still filmed many classic works.

"It seems to be called Golden Armor, if you want to be in Yanjing for the next few days, I will send you the script. ”

Yang Dongxu: "....."

Could it be that next year's Huaxia Film Market will still be a year full of bad movies?

This year, director Chen Da won the reputation of the king of bad movies, and next year the national teacher will take over the baton and create a new height?
