457 Rush to Cannes
After the New Year, some media people also noticed something was wrong in the entertainment industry.
"The sky-high pay for celebrities is becoming increasingly exaggerated, and the pay for a TV series starring in a TV series exceeds 100 million yuan. Major film companies have tightened their startup projects, and the low-cost TV series market is booming."
"The Film Bureau talks about ticket replacement and it is said that the country intends to control the ticket replacement market, and the development prospects of online ticket purchase software such as Panda ticket purchase, Ticket Purchase Gang and other online ticket purchase software have become a mystery."
"The two directors Kang Cheng and Bao Qiang joined GM and directed "Saw 2". Director Shao Bing entered the Golden Lion to serve as the deputy director Salman, the first-line Hollywood director, and the young Chinese director began to switch to Hollywood."
"Medal Media makes a big move after the New Year, creating a promotional and distribution department and a variety show department, which is suspected to be involved in the film promotional and variety show production industry."
The problem of sky-high pay began to explode after the star studio system.
Coupled with the catalysis of the post-traffic era, the value of some celebrities has increased to a very exaggerated level, and the traffic market is even more incredible than in previous years, and the entire industry is in chaos.
But it is also an indispensable part of the development of the China Film and Television Industry.
Because there is only one who can expand and become messy first, and when the cold winter of film and television comes, the traffic that fools the audience falls down one after another. When the capital market is cold and loses money and goes bankrupt, the industry is becoming increasingly severe, the capital parties who are waving money and want to make quick money will calm down and realize a simple problem that they cannot understand before.
The audience is not easy to fool.
The capitalists who try to fool the audience will eventually fool themselves.
When this false prosperity is broken and the film and television winter is over, it is when the Chinese film and television industry begins to transform. The traffic that relies on one's face to make a living can still survive in the market, but in the future, the era of just relying on one's face to get ahead and standing at the top of the entertainment industry will be gone forever.
This is also the real reason why the film industry began to tighten ahead of schedule before the arrival of the film and television winter, and major companies dare not spend money at will.
Because the film industry has entered the "high-quality era" ahead of schedule in recent years, under the catalysis of Wei Xun.
If you invest in projects at will, you will only lose all your money.
But just as film companies were tremblingly planning to take the high-quality route and invest cautiously, Medal Media suddenly released a shocking thunder in the film industry, which made the entire film industry stunned.
Shortly after the New Year, Jutong Film and Television Media Department and Medal Media Department jointly issued such a film project planning announcement.
"Medal Media, Jutong Film and Television (under Jutong Holdings) plans to jointly invest 600 million Chinese coins to prepare for the science fiction film "The Wandering Earth". This film is directed by Wei Xun and Zou Min as the producer. Now recruiting suitable actors from the entire film industry."
As soon as this joint investment statement was released, it immediately ignited the entire entertainment industry.
600 million investment!
Big production science fiction film!
In recent years, the Chinese film market has expanded very well, and the recycling ratio has become more and more amazing, but no film and television company dares to take out 600 million to make movies!
No wonder it was a Medal Media that had always been an investment in Medal Media. This time, it would join forces with Jutong Film and Television to join the joint venture. Because the working capital of 600 million Chinese coins was poured out at one time, even Medal Media would be a little overwhelmed.
But no matter what, the project "The Wandering Earth" became a hit with this investment of 600 million yuan alone.
"Wei Xun once again made amazing big investments and invested 600 million yuan to make a Chinese science fiction film!"
"Medal, Jutong's two major capitals jointly took action, and the commercial film director Wei Xun took the lead. Can it save Chinese science fiction?"
"The Wandering Earth has been registered with the Film Bureau. The official response said: Encourage the film industry investors to prepare for filming industrial special effects blockbusters and will provide corresponding policy support."
The media are going crazy.
At the same time, the film industry also began to get restless.
Including actor studios, photography, lighting, editing, even special effects, costumes, and other companies, all those with strength have set their sights on this super science fiction blockbuster film by Medal Media.
This is the catalytic effect of a blockbuster film on the entire industry.
It is no exaggeration to say that a film project with an investment of 600 million yuan can support thousands of people in the film industry.
Now that the film industry is investing in a tightening situation, the announcement of "The Wandering Earth" is undoubtedly a very exciting news. Even companies such as Huangchao, Huaying, and Tianguang have put their ideas on the field of science fiction films.
As we all know, Wei Xun's movies will not lose money.
And maybe after "The Wandering Earth" is released, the Chinese science fiction film will be turned away by him. Now prepare in advance, and maybe you can still eat meat at that time...
At the beginning of this year, Medal Media's science fiction film "The Wandering Earth" invested 600 million yuan has become the new favorite of media headlines.
In May, the whole of China, from the public to the media, was locked in Cannes.
One of the three major European film festivals in the new year, the French Cannes Film Festival is about to begin the selection and award ceremony. This year, the work of Chinese director Wei Xun, "Infernal Affairs", is a highly anticipated and popular work. It was personally recommended by Cannes Chairman Jean Besson and entered the "Main Competition Unit" exhibition selection.
The movie "Infernal Affairs", which was released throughout Asia and has a global box office of more than 5 billion yuan, has received a high reputation.
In addition, Wei Xun, the director of "Infernal Affairs", has also filmed a world-renowned popular work like "Saw", so at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Wei Xun is definitely the core protagonist.
On May 10, amid the farewell of a number of media and fans, four actors, Wei Xun, Bai Qianchi, Zeng Wei, Huang Qiuheng, and the entire "Infernal Affairs" crew flew to France.
Next, they will stay in Cannes, France for about two weeks to participate in the exhibition of works from 5.12 to 5.23, and finally attend the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony on 5.24 to select all the awards this year.
According to statistics, tens of thousands of filmmakers and thousands of films in more than 200 countries around the world will be screened in the Cannes exhibition in the past two weeks, and the copyright purchase will be purchased.
As the work "Infernal Affairs", which was shortlisted for this year's "main competition unit", will compete with the remaining 19 works to compete for the highest-scale award selection in Cannes.
When Wei Xun and his group boarded the plane to Cannes, the media and netizens sent their blessings to China.
"Come on, the guard director, win the best director, and completely enter the ranks of international leaders."
"In fact, it's not bad to win the Cannes Best Actor. Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming are both worth a Cannes Best Actor trophy."
"Can you have some prospects? Since we are the favorites to win the championship, I will give me a lot of breasts. The goal of "Infernal Affairs" is the Palme d'Or!"
