Chapter 367: Approaching 200 million dollars at the box office
And if the capital can be preserved, then Zhang Yicheng will naturally be more willing to give many opportunities to newcomers, because the capital can be preserved anyway, so there is no problem of losing money, and as long as there is no loss, then there is nothing wrong with investing in newcomers.
Where is
If you look at the current Chinese film market, it is said that it is the fifth generation, the sixth generation, etc. If it is a well-known director, even if the private duo is transferred to the film market, there will be a lot of investors.
No matter how good the script is, no matter how good the script is, your legs are broken and your mouth is scratched, no one cares about it. For example, Ning Hao at the beginning, Xiao Yang later, and more post-80s generations.
New directors, they all faced the problem of finding investors. Now Ning Hao is popular because of "Crazy Stone", and Xiao Yang is attracting attention because of the short play video "Old Boy"
Generally speaking, it is difficult for young directors to get along. A penny stumps new directors. Many fledgling new directors are defeated by the word "money". Some have failed to attract investment for seven consecutive years, and some have experienced capital withdrawals midway.
, someone borrowed money to buy a BMW, just to be more confident when going out to meet the boss.
Because when making a movie, you need to find investment, and the first thing investors look for is the script. Many young directors don't have money to hire someone to write the script, so they have to write it themselves. After writing it, they take the script to try their luck with investors, and they go around and over again.
, they are often wasted in two or three years. One reason is that young people are not famous enough, and another reason is that the scripts are not well written enough, because investors feel that they will lose money if they film them.
There is now a contradictory phenomenon in Chinese films. On the one hand, there are a lot of foreign funds entering the film industry. They were not originally engaged in filmmaking, or they were from overseas. Because they have seen the 25%-30% growth rate of Chinese films for many years.
I entered this industry after seeing the excitement of movies. However, at the same time, outside capital has two characteristics: one is unprofessional, and the other is speculation.
These capitals come in because they think this place can make money quickly. The normal investment return cycle for a movie is 18 months, one and a half to two years. From the beginning of script writing, filming to distribution, basically within two years, the first-round income is about 80
%~90% can get back outside capital. No matter how unprofessional it is, their basic requirement is not to lose money, so they will take the risk of the film at the beginning of the investment and "keep their money bags tightly closed." Good production companies and directors will never be bad.
Money, there will always be people who are just starting out or who have lost money in their previous creative experience. These two types of people will have some problems with financing.
In this regard, Zhang Yicheng also has such concerns. Most new directors will not receive too much investment. In other words, even if the investment loses money, it will not lose much, but it is not a good thing to keep losing money like this. Zhang Yicheng
After all, he is also a businessman. Although he is not a pure businessman, since he is a businessman, he must consider the profit aspect.
Many newcomers are often not very successful in their first works, but they really need such an opportunity. And if the film can be launched throughout Asia, then with the low cost of Chinese films and the talent of new directors themselves,
It doesn't require a high investment, and you can easily recoup the cost. Even if it's not that satisfactory, you can easily recoup the cost, and maybe even make a small profit.
That way it will be much easier for new people to get ahead, and once Zhang Yicheng increases his support for new people, it will be much easier to find talents, and he can even attract many other talents to join his company.
This is a very important part of Zhang Yicheng's company's long-term planning. Only this plan can be completed and the risks will be spread equally to all Asian countries, not just mainland China. If the risk is taken by one company, it can be greatly and effectively mitigated.
Insufficient newcomers
The reason why Hollywood can prosper is because it transfers this risk to the whole world, so their investors are willing to invest money. Because through aggregate methods, although they may lose at the box office, in fact, they will probably not lose too much.
Of course I am willing to give newcomers a chance!
In its third week of release, the box office in Asia has reached 1.393 billion. The box office data has refreshed the record for all Chinese-language movies and is close to the box office record of 200 million US dollars.
And it hasn’t been lowered yet. When it is really lowered, it might be able to reach US$300 million.
This is the first Chinese-language film to be calculated in U.S. dollars. None of the previous films even cost close to 100 million U.S. dollars. Of course, we would not choose to use U.S. dollars to calculate it. That would only look like an insult.
With this movie, Huang Yilin also became the billionaire box office director in China after Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige and others. After entering this field that only belongs to a few people, Huang Yilin's net worth has skyrocketed. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a hundred times.
, the difference between whether the box office exceeds 100 million is really very big, definitely not an ordinary big one
Today's Huang Yilin will definitely not be inferior to those fifth-generation directors in low positions. Originally, fifth-generation directors in this circle were supporting the scene, but now it is different. Huang Yilin's rise indicates that he will directly jump away from the sixth-generation directors and the seventh-generation directors.
Acting director rises unexpectedly
Judging from the time when he was famous, Huang Yilin should be of the same generation as Ning Hao and others, and can be regarded as the sixth generation director. However, from the age point of view, Huang Yilin is a bit younger than Ning Hao. It is somewhat unreasonable to squeeze into the sixth generation.
Therefore, many people say that it is simply the seventh generation, or the sixth and a half generations, which are more reliable than the sixth generation.
Even Huang Yilin's limelight has slightly overshadowed Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and others. After all, no matter how long they have been famous, they have never produced excellent works. None of their works can be compared with Huang Yilin, and even their box office performance is said to be
Maybe it can be compared with Huang Yilin in total. It is not yet a year or two later. The box office of directors has easily exceeded 100 million US dollars. Starting from "Let the Bullets Fly", it has become a very simple matter to exceed 100 million US dollars. But now it has exceeded 100 million US dollars.
US$100 million is still a distant thing, not to mention that Huang Yilin's movie is now close to US$200 million. When it is released, it may reach US$300 million. This record, in the foreseeable future, will be at least 50-60 million US dollars.
It's estimated that no one can move anymore.
And this is just Huang Yilin's debut work. No one knows what kind of development it will have in the future. No one can predict what Huang Yilin's future will be like.
