When entering the ceremony hall, Chen Yiwen was separated from the group of relatives and friends. Because he was the winner, he had to sit in the front row. Yan Man, as the instructor, could accompany him, and the others were in the audience seats at the back. But it was okay. Chen Yiwen took
Those who come can be arranged to sit in Area B, which is closest to Area A for guests. These are generally reserved for groups of relatives and friends.
Chen Yiwen and Yan Man went to the front and were placed in the first row because they were the first prize winners.
It can be seen that Yan Man may have been a front-row guest in the Business School, and the occasions she has participated in are not as large as those here at Qingdao University, so it is actually the first time for her to participate in an award ceremony of this scale as a front-row guest today.
I actually felt a little nervous, so I held my phone in my hand and took pictures in all directions. When I saw a tall place, I took it.
Those who maintained the order at the scene were all volunteers from the Qingdao Student Union, and everyone had a tag on their chest. Although there were many people pouring into the ceremony hall today, I think they already had a lot of similar experience, guiding, diverting, maintaining order, and being in good order.
Yan Man couldn't help but sigh, "The students at Qingda University are really amazing!"
After all, it is a C10 university in the country, and he is on an away game. He has often heard the name of Qingdao University in the business school. Yan Man looked a little timid when he saw this scene, and he also looked at Qingdao University students with a certain aura.
It was also her dream to go to Qingdao University. She also thought about being a counselor and taking the postgraduate entrance examination to enter Qingdao University, but it was actually very difficult and she had a heavy workload at hand. This became a knot in her mind and her hopes. She chose to stay in a big city back then.
, I am also looking for that first-line opportunity in career and life. Now it seems that the original ambition is almost wasted in the dull life day after day.
Then he looked at Chen Yiwen next to him, and then thought, so what if he is not from Qingda University. Chen Yiwen defeated the top students from Qingdao University and won the first place in this competition. Although they were from the School of Business, they were not from the School of Business.
Shi is also blessed with a halo! It proves that students from business schools are no worse than those from C10 universities.
Chen Yiwen saw that Yan Man had a good temperament before he came, but after sitting down, he was actually on pins and needles, looking around everywhere, and it seemed that he was nervous. Chen Yiwen said, "Teacher Yan, as the instructor of my art team, this kind of scene will happen in the future.
It’s a small case, but there are bigger stages!”
Seeing Chen Yiwen's smiling face, Yan Man knew that he had noticed the way his little wife came into the city just now. She was a little embarrassed for a moment, thinking that although she had benefited from him by coming here, her momentum was not the same.
How could his teacher be suppressed by him? He held the phone that was used to take pictures, frowned and said, "Don't make such big talk. Be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time. Even if you have just made some small achievements, your tail will be raised."
Heaven?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a rush of people in the auditorium, and the experts from the competition arrived. Of course, who cares who the experts are, but the name Liu Qirong is indeed not unfamiliar to Chinese people. Although this wristman is now
He is currently in the midst of criticism and is not as good as in his previous heyday, but his name is still unavoidable in the domestic industry and in the minds of most people.
Seeing Liu Qirong appearing accompanied by municipal leaders, there was a real uproar at the scene.
Liu Qirong raised his hands to the enthusiastic teachers and students in the ceremony hall, and then faced many enthusiastic greetings and shouts to him. This process lasted for several minutes, and then Liu Qirong was invited to the center of the first row with the affectionate pat on the shoulder by the city leader.
, and then a group of people sat down according to their seniority. Yan Man couldn't help but shrink to the side. When she saw Chen Yiwen beside her, she suppressed the urge to leave the first row and sit in the back row.
During the process just now, Liu Qirong's eyes wandered past his direction several times, and he must have seen him, but he didn't nod or say hello.
Now Liu Qirong is still wearing a suit. At least he doesn't look as unruly as he wore slippers before, but no one can ignore his aura.
Chen Yiwen originally thought that he would still have time to communicate with Liu Qirong today, but looking at the current situation, it was obvious that he would not have time to talk to him in private.
Over there, the city leaders and Liu Qirong were sitting in the middle of the front row, lowering their heads to exchange words from time to time. Next to them was a vice president of Qingdao University. Under normal circumstances, even if Liu Qirong is a high-ranking official, there is actually no need for Qingdao University and Qingshan City to go out.
Leaders of this level. But this is the role of influence. After all, Liu Qirong is a director who has won foreign awards on behalf of the Chinese people, and he once made a film that sold out to everyone. Many of the senior executives present today came from that era. For
Liu Qirong naturally has a kind of sentiment, and he will even be able to talk to his parents and elders at home in the future.
It's just that Liu Qirong is very skilled at handling this kind of situation, but his mind is not here at all. In the final analysis, it is the lack of resources in the group that affects his mood.
At this higher level, the industry is also being impacted by a general trend. The macroeconomic downturn in recent years seems to have also affected the domestic film market. This year, a survey by an authoritative organization was released. The number of moviegoers in the first ten months compared with last year.
During the same period, the number of people decreased by 100 million, the number of people entering theaters decreased, and the industry was declining. This is something that can be seen. The root cause is the impact of imported blockbusters, the serious homogeneity of domestic films, and people's appetites.
Of course, the industry has had its ups and downs in the past, with valleys and peaks, but no one knows when the next turning point will come, and how long is the artistic life of a creator? This is linked to the box office.
He has already encountered a Waterloo. If Wang Xiangchuan hadn't supported him from behind, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to get up again.
Nowadays, with the impact of the industry, it is even more important to release during the prime time period. He missed the best time during the domestic protection month of February. Although there has always been a saying that "there are no bad schedules, only bad movies", in fact
After some research, we found out that almost all domestic high-grossing movies are produced during the holiday period. The highest-grossing movies are during the prime time period, without exception.
It's like comparing him with Zhao Beihai. Directors of the same level, with the same masterpiece, whether they are in prime time or not, the results may be very different.
Nowadays, domestic films, even if they are first-line directors, will almost bleak at the box office without the support of prime time. At other times, it is not the protection month for domestic films, and imported blockbusters will also come to get a share of the pie. At that time, they will compete with imported films.
Market, it would be strange if you don’t suffer a bloody blow!
So the competition is over, and this awards ceremony is just a formality. Liu Qirong is coping with the scene, with heaven and man at war in his heart, and he is in a state of worry about the future and an unsolvable emptiness.
At this time, I thought of the so-called "master" in Chen Yiwen's mouth. This is like a person in a desperate situation, telling you that there may be a way that can let you see a glimmer of hope from the thorns. After all, he still has some thoughts.
.
Liu Qirong turned on his mobile phone. He had a lot of social interactions, and messages would come to him from time to time. People around him were not surprised, but these leaders were also aware of current affairs and would not disturb him unless necessary when he lowered his head to look at his mobile phone.
Chen Yiwen's phone vibrated. He unlocked it and opened the screen, and saw a WeChat message coming in.
"What did your internet friend say?"
Chen Yiwen turned his head and glanced towards Liu Qirong. He saw Liu Qirong holding the mobile phone with the back of his right hand supporting his left elbow. He was talking to a leader next to him and looked at the stage in front of him with a smile. There was nothing like what he had just said.
He left a WeChat message and looked like he was waiting for a reply.
Chen Yiwen looked at Yan Man again. Yan Man was looking at the award-winning contestants and groups that came in, but he didn't pay attention to who Chen Yiwen was chatting with on WeChat.
Chen Yiwen lowered his head and typed in response: "You replied to me last night, and I was thinking of meeting you for an interview today."
"Oh? You really replied? How did you say that?" Liu Qirong no longer looked at the stage, but looked down at his mobile phone.
"The expert said three points. First, the market is not fixed. Second, the market can be shaped. Third, the people can be guided."
Looking at what Chen Yiwen posted, Liu Qirong frowned slightly, "...what does it mean?"
"That is to say, February may not be the best prime time. Your new film is about family life, your style is bright and lively, and it has a happy ending in the end. Experts say that it can be released before the Spring Festival. The investment is huge
Resource promotion, euphemistically called: New Year film!"
In this time and space, Chen Yiwen searched and explored before, and it is certain that there is no such thing as a New Year's film.
Let’s not talk about the decline of the domestic film market. Chinese people in this time and space have a stronger sense of belonging to the family concept and the Spring Festival holiday. They believe that everyone should stay at home at this time. Five years ago, movie theaters will be closed at this time to refuse customers.
There are not many movie theaters open. It is probably because the domestic market is indeed in a downturn and the theaters cannot bear it anymore, so they are open during the Spring Festival holiday. However, the effect is lacking. No blockbusters will choose to challenge the habits of the Chinese people at this time and challenge people's attitude toward the Spring Festival.
cognition.
Therefore, all the films released are second- and third-tier films. These films are generally rushed in production and have poor film quality, so the results are predictable. The mediocre box office seems to indicate that people are not willing to leave their homes and go to the cinema to watch movies during the Spring Festival.
, it can only maintain the basic costs of the theater chain, and it can’t make much money.
At this time, the film industry is at its freezing point. Any film company or any major director will try their best to avoid it.
And now, someone told him to create a so-called "New Year's film."
Liu Qirong's eyes narrowed. It was obvious that he did not deny it immediately, but felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
His text message came quickly, "That expert, is there any way to ask him to talk to me in person?"
