Obviously, the girls even complained about Comrade Yang Di. This guy was really serious. He could find a chance to interject without being asked. As a result, he didn't even pick up the microphone and was planted like a log.
It's really annoying.
Ning Yunzhu couldn't wait to rush in and replace her. With the girl's temperament, even if the reporter was biased, she felt that she could get a lot to say, so it would be fun to be on camera.
After a long time of excitement, finally, there was a very "friendly" female reporter. Not only out of sympathy, but also because she really wanted to pay attention to this mysterious investor who has now become a laughing stock. When it was her turn to ask questions, she immediately asked without hesitation.
, looked over.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, it is said that the investment cost of "Era of Gods" will break the domestic record. As far as I know, the current domestic single-film investment record is the magical epic masterpiece "Tianhuan" two years ago.
The officially disclosed investment amount is US$170 million. In cooperation with Ms. Liu, are you really prepared to break it in one fell swoop?"
The female reporter asked a question closely related to the new film, and her eyes were no longer focused on a certain star.
The female reporter used the word "your side", which meant that she obviously did not regard Yang Di as an independent investor. Instead, she regarded this investment as the commercial intention of the Shichen Vipshop platform, just like the common argument from the outside world.
.
She is a reporter specially sent by a column company. That company has a column called "New Trends in Movie Watching". It is regarded by the industry as the most professional content guide program for watching movies. It has multiple language versions and usually focuses on
Some international blockbusters.
Obviously, the gimmick released by "Era of Gods" this time has reached this level. Coupled with Liu Xinxin's personal charm and the possibility of this film breaking records and other factors, the column sent professional reporters and
The editor stepped in and wanted to know more details.
To be favored by this international fashion viewing guide program has always been a symbol of high status in the eyes of many crew members. They talked about it with great enthusiasm. For a while, even the artists who were competing for fame on the stage calmed down and smiled.
, showing great patience.
Suddenly, from a cold reception, he became the focus of attention from all parties. Even Yang Di was a little flattered. He cleared his throat and responded as calmly as possible: "Currently, our start-up capital has reached 150 million US dollars, and all funds have been in place.
According to industry practice, the final investment amount will exceed this figure. As investors, Ms. Liu and I are not opposed to additional investment if necessary, so it is extremely possible to break the record, or even
It’s a done deal!”
When these words came out, the reporters present did not question them. On the contrary, Liu Xinxin and Feng Qing were a little surprised that this guy could respond like this. It seems that he had read many gossip magazines before. That kind of rhetoric basically did not make much difference.
problem.
Generally speaking, there will be a certain discrepancy between the initial preliminary funds and the final cost. For many well-known blockbusters, the discrepancies are even outrageous. For example, "Titanic" and "Avatar" were both photographed by the old man.
The investors wanted to vomit blood. The cost was almost huge compared to the original plan. Of course, it turned out that the old man's vision and ability were very good...
Therefore, in most cases, this kind of discrepancy means that the start-up budget will definitely be exceeded, but how much it will exceed depends not only on the actual production needs, but also on the limits that investors can accept.
The previous cost record holder, "Tianhuan" invested by Xihuang Film and Television, had a budget of about 100 million US dollars, but later it reached the point of 170 million US dollars. Now their own new film has a budget of 150 million US dollars.
Logically speaking, breaking the record should be a matter of 9 out of 10, so there is nothing wrong with Yang Di's remarks.
The reporters present have all been in the entertainment industry for a long time. After hearing the budget of 150 million US dollars, they spontaneously filtered out the word "possible" in the response "possibly breaking the record" in their minds.
The title I write tomorrow will definitely be changed to "will break the record".
The female reporter from "New Trends in Movie Viewing" was a senior person. She nodded and agreed that this film was about to break the domestic cost record. Then, she asked: "According to the "Tianhuan" disclosed by relevant channels that year,
The box office performance of each movie was very high. The last movie suffered a huge loss. It is said that the investors nearly lost hundreds of millions of dollars. There is no doubt that it was a failed investment case and was regarded as a painful lesson by the industry.
Nowadays, domestic market analysts have a theory that large investments in domestic films are equivalent to struggling with money and will inevitably end in losses, because the domestic film consumption ecological environment is not enough to meet such a large cost recovery and profit margin.
After it was revealed that "Era of Gods" was going to break the investment record of "Huan", market observers almost all pessimistically, thinking that this was destined to be a failure. What do you think of this, Mr. Yang?"
As soon as this important question came up, even Ning Yunzhu, Li Xuanya and the others, who were filming the live action with their mobile phones on the stage, looked a little weird.
Obviously, that was a very sharp question. Although they didn't understand the situation in this industry, they sounded very powerful.
The surrounding media people pricked up their ears. It can be said that before the event was held, this issue was destined to be pushed to the table.
Originally, these reporters planned to leave the questions to Liu Xinxin, who was the absolute focus, but because the questions were a bit sharp and unreasonable, they postponed the questions a little. Unexpectedly, the female reporter turned to this "mysterious investor".
Yang Di was also startled, then looked at Liu Xinxin and said with a smile: "Haha, there is no risk in investment. I am not afraid of your jokes. The reason why Miss Liu and I invested in this film is mainly because we like the script. We can
It's best to make money. If you can't make money, just treat it as a conscientious work for the domestic audience."
As soon as these words came out, even Liu Xinxin, Feng Qing, Liu Xinyue, and even some of the artists present almost applauded him impulsively.
Wonderful!
Such a response not only resolved the embarrassment of being criticized, but also cleverly gained a very favorable status for the new film.
Out of my preference for original scripts, I want to create a work of conscience, regardless of reward. Although it sounds a bit hypocritical, in the flashy entertainment industry, it is definitely a very contagious statement.
If you think it's hypocritical, then you have the ability to spend so much money to talk nonsense! If you spend real money there, even if there are doubts, no one can accuse the investors of doing anything wrong!
Due to this mentality, if these words are reported tomorrow, you can be sure that they will be praised by many netizens who are enthusiastic about domestic films. Every nation has its own national pride, and it is bombarded by Hollywood blockbusters every year.
, in fact, Chinese people also like domestic film producers to be able to produce a Titanic one day.
Although I know it is difficult and like a dream, this vision will never go out in the hearts of every generation.
This is just like the national football team. Although they are despised every day, you can ask yourself. In fact, many fans also hope that one day, the national football team can be on the World Cup stage and be ridden by foreign media on a dark horse, rather than every World Cup.
, all act as spectators looking at other people's scenery.
Therefore, anyone who gives them hope, even if the hope is expressed a little tactfully, is worthy of sincere appreciation.
The reporters present had their eyes changed instantly after hearing what someone said. They originally thought that this young man was just a passerby, but in the end, he was able to give such an amazing reply.
It is conceivable that as soon as relevant reports come out, the public's expectations and attention to this "conscience work" will double. Many times, hot events in the entertainment industry are caused by a topic that can stir up the public's nerves.
If these words were designed by the public relations team of the film studio, that public relations team is indeed very professional. If this young man made his own remarks in response to the situation, then this young man is really amazing.
Su Yu was in the audience, a gleam of light flashed in her beautiful eyes. For some reason, when she heard what Yang Di said just now, she was a little touched. Perhaps because she knew this person so well, she believed it instead. She was a little moved by it and couldn't help but
, some hope that this movie can really shoulder the mission of exciting countless people, even though I know it will be difficult.
Even the female reporter was a little dumbfounded. She was the chief reporter of the company's China region. Because she had such a high professional vision, she inevitably had a subconscious arrogance towards domestic films. She used to help write some year-end reviews and reviews.
When I was in China, I often used harsh comments to review those domestic fake blockbusters.
But just now, she, who has experienced many battles, was a little surprised. Perhaps the person in front of her was too young, making it difficult for people to associate with those cunning bosses. Invisibly, she was deeply infected.
Of course, not all media have good intentions. Some reporters sent by media with backgrounds from other film and television companies felt very unhappy when they heard Yang Di's response.
Regardless of whether this young man and Liu Xinxin can do things that the big guys behind them can't do, they are obviously scornful of them. To use an old saying, if you can't do it yourself, you won't be able to see others doing well.
"Mr. Yang, I believe that movie fans will be very grateful to you for treating this investment with the mentality of making a conscientious work. However, many professionals also pointed out that the current miracle of the film's last turn has little to do with the quality of the film.
"The main thing will depend on Miss Liu Xinxin's popularity and appeal. What do you think about this?" An old man reporter asked a very tricky question in a slightly joking manner.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area suddenly became a little cold.
Of course, some people are discussing this topic online. Obviously, whether this work is a conscientious work or whether it breaks the cost record, all of these are no match for the appeal of the gimmick of "Liu Xinxin serves as the producer and stars"
.
Following this, some people with ill intentions will start to argue that this beauty is too blindly confident in her popularity.
Someone even posted a long article analyzing that Liu Xinxin is indeed very popular in China, but this does not mean that her terrifying popularity will eventually achieve a large box office conversion.
In the current domestic movie-watching environment, buying tickets to watch movies in theaters is still not mainstream. Many people prefer to watch pirated versions online or on CDs. The reason is naturally related to the higher ticket prices, which cost tens or hundreds of yuan.
For people above white-collar workers, it is certainly no problem, but for migrant workers, it is really a bit of a luxury.
Moreover, because domestic theater chains developed relatively late, older people, even if they have ample pockets, are not in the habit of going to theaters to watch movies.
This is a serious problem that the domestic film and television ecological environment has to face. It is precisely based on this considerable factor that those experts came to the conclusion that domestic large-scale productions are destined to die.
This is also a practical problem that Liu Xinxin has to face despite her terrifying popularity.
Originally, this question was used to make things difficult for Liu Xinxin and to find selling points for the report, but when the reporter asked it to Yang Di, it was like killing two birds with one stone.
If Yang Di responded yes, that would be badmouthing Liu Xinxin’s charm. Not only would it be embarrassing on the spot, but it would also be misinterpreted by some unscrupulous media afterwards, which might lead to bombardment from some irrational fans. If Yang Di said no, then
The film lost money, and the media could say that the two investors were amateurs and overestimated the commercial value of celebrity popularity.
Feng Qing opened his mouth and was about to use his rich experience to resolve this acute problem, but at this time Yang Di spoke without hesitation. He looked at the man and smiled: "In my opinion and that of Miss Liu,
, using the popularity of fans to make money is a very cold behavior. Our original intention when this film came out is to hope that everyone will watch the film rationally, students, young people who have just joined the job, and those who have difficulty making money, pay attention
News, just help repost on Weibo as much as you like. That is the greatest support for Ms. Liu and our new film. There is no need to spend money, especially for primary and secondary school students. We do not support spending tens or hundreds of pocket money to blindly chase stars!"
quiet!
When Yang Di said these words, the scene was quiet.
This time, even Liu Xinxin, Feng Qing, and Liu Xinyue were all wide-eyed. In any case, they did not expect Yang Di to say this.
Those reporters were even more stunned. When other film companies were promoting and building momentum, they tried their best to use the appeal of stars to win the box office. Later, they would also introduce some movies that would give them the opportunity to have close contact with idols and get the idol's reputation.
What a great autograph.
In short, I just want to drive all the fans, especially those ardent fans, into the theater.
But no one expected that this investor would actually advise fans of Liu Xinxin to watch movies rationally, and even "turn away" primary and secondary school students who spend money to chase stars without blinking an eye. This was so weird that the reporters present were stunned.
