In the screening hall on the ground floor of maoerhhutong mansion, Beijing.
While the waitress installed the copy in the operation room, Simon was surrounded by a group of girls on the middle seat of the screening hall, looking through and discussing a 99 yuan collection film and television set of "to youth".
Playing with a q-shaped character doll, Ren Jingxi, sitting on Simon's left hand side, said: "I heard that the latest racing story in the United States recently, but the toy sales at the end of this year will exceed $1 billion. Simon, is this true?"
Simon and Zhu Momo, who clings to him on the other side, unfold a T-shirt, a pure white T-shirt. This one is the silhouette of several characters in "to youth", with a lyrics, "you say dear, dear, forever, forever unchanged face.".
From "no regrets in spring".
I wish Momo would wear it to Simon generously. There is enough heating here. Simon is not afraid of the cold around her, so he let go of his hand. When Ren Jingxi asked on the other side, he nodded and said, "yes, there will be so many."
Ren Jingxi still had some unbelievable: "1 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 8.3 billion yuan in China. It's too scary." then he couldn't help looking forward to: "Simon, do you think China's film industry has this potential in the future?"
Simon picked up a delicate key chain in the box and said it was full of memories. At that time, as a boy, who didn't have a key chain full of all kinds of small objects.
When Ren Jingxi asked, Simon smiled and said, "speaking of potential, in China, Shaolin Temple in the 1980s can sell more than 100 million box office for a few cents. Do you think it's potential?"
Mo Wuling sat demurely on the other side of Ren Jingxi and listened to them. At this time, he couldn't help inserting a sentence: "that era was different."
"The same," Simon shook his head slightly and smiled: "Business potential has always existed. For example, I remember a story about selling shoes to Africa. Some people saw that Africans don't wear shoes, so they think they have no business potential. Some people were ecstatic because they found that Africans don't wear shoes, so they noticed a huge market of 1 billion people. You say, who can have two attitudes Success? "
I wish Momo to take off his bottomed shirt and put on the T-shirt just now. The girl's body is actually a little flat, but because she is tall enough, the lady's T-shirt looks a little thin and wrapped up a good curve. At this time, listening to Simon say so, he scrambled to say, "of course it's the latter, but it's not easy for people who don't wear shoes to wear shoes."
"Of course it's not easy. If everything is easy, everyone can become a millionaire," Simon said. "China is like this now. You think there is no market because no one buys it. It must be wrong."
Jill pecket, who has been living here for the past two years and busy with his real estate business, sat behind the man with Zhao Annie. Jill also interrupted and said in a fairly fluent Beijing Film: "The problem is that China's consumption power is limited now. As you just said, in the 1980s, China's ticket price was a few cents. Now, even if there were members, our Jinshu cinema would cost about 15 yuan a ticket. Compared with China, it's very expensive, not to mention the IMAX screening hall. The price increases, but the income level has not substantially increased, so the consumption can be improved The force will be limited. "
Simon nodded: "this is also a problem, but Jill, do you know how many people there are in China now?"
Jill said, "1.2 billion."
He also reacted.
China's population base is really too huge. It has a population of 1.2 billion, while the United States has only 280 million, four times the gap, let alone other western countries.
With the support of such a population base, even if one tenth of the population has formed a strong purchasing power, it is enough to support the film industry they are discussing, and even more.
Think about China's current tens of billions of VCD industry. Obviously, there is enough consumption capacity.
The problem is still development.
Zhu Momo jumped on Simon, and then simply sat in the arms of a man. Ignoring the small expression of the envy of Li Youhu and Yu, he hugged Simon's neck and said, "Simon, speaking of IMAX, why don't you invest more in IMAX screens in China, the recent Everest?" , the IMAX shows are really hot. My aunt and I have to ask someone to get tickets. "
Naturally, what the girl said was Mount Everest, which was released in mainland China on November 5.
Relying on the popularity accumulated in North America and the large-scale publicity here, as a documentary with little potential in the eyes of many people, it won 29 million yuan at the box office in the first week after it was opened on November 5.
Subsequently, the next week's decline was only about 20%, closing at another 23 million.
In two weeks, the documentary grossed 52 million yuan at the box office in China. According to the current trend, it is only a matter of time to break the billion yuan, which is twice the 50 million box office volume originally expected by China Film and brocade book.
Then there is the IMAX screening version with the best visual experience. Compared with the ordinary screen sessions, until now, the mainland is still in the state of waiting in line to get tickets, which also led to a wave of scalper boom.
When Simon was with Chen Qing in Suzhou, he heard that Nizi was an interesting story. The conductor of Jinshu cinema in Suzhou cooperated with scalpers to resell IMAX movie tickets, making thousands of yuan a week.
Then he was caught.
ok
Stroking the girl's slender body, Simon listened to her and shook his head with a smile: "it's not that I don't want to, but that the conditions don't allow."
Zhu Momo deliberately toots his mouth to make a lovely shape: "you just said that you should create conditions without conditions. The market is there."
"Did I say, oh, you think I ate it back."
Simon said and bit the girl's nose. Unfortunately, she blocked it with her mouth and tried to resist. Looking around, several girls couldn't help turning their heads.
Ren Jingxi and others separated and said, "because of the success of Mount Everest, many people have focused on the project to explore the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon recently. I heard that a company in Sichuan tried to contact us and found that it didn't step in and planned to do it by itself."
Zhu Momo's face was still stuck on Simon's chin, rubbing a man's stubble. He smelled the speech and said, "even if they can do it, who can sell it to? It's not because they are so popular in China that they are sold in the United States. In addition, Simon's song, um," life is like summer flowers ", is really good. I want to hear it again now. Aunt, give me your iPlayer."
When the girl suddenly said this, Mo Wuling immediately felt guilty and pretended to be calm and said, "let's play a movie right away. Listen to what song."
I wish Momo a smile, no more words, and twist his body and stick it to Simon's arms.
Ren Jingxi allowed Zhu Momo to interrupt and was more concerned about the business: "Simon, even if danilis doesn't participate, there are other studios in Hollywood. Do you think the theme will hit?"
Simon said: "there's no way to bump into it. It's impossible to forbid others to do it. However, there are too many Hollywood films with similar themes. The key is whether they can do it well."
"Well," Zhu Momo echoed, "Simon can do well. The others are local chickens and dogs."
Mo Wuling, sitting on the other side across Ren Jingxi, looked at his niece Lai in the man's arms, looking like spring, and wanted to cover her face.
Just then, the waitress came to remind me that it could be played, and everyone was quiet.
In the dim light, Simon looked at the big screen with Zhu Momo, who was unwilling to move in his arms.
This is the first film made by Ren Jingxi's huanzhu film industry. It is called wormhole.
Simon read the script in advance, which is similar to a setting of Groundhog Day. Moreover, the comedy effect is much stronger than groundhog day. After all, a person repeatedly jumps into a well in order to recover the lost 10000 yuan. It makes no sense to think about that picture.
In addition, what Simon noticed was the director and scene of the film.
This is a young man returning home from the Hollywood exchange and learning program. Like other Simon's goals, if he can do well this time, he can also give more support.
On the big screen, there is no such thing as dragon logo. It is a positive film at the beginning.
After the beginning of the fixed picture with a short sense of science fiction and inexplicable joy, Simon was very satisfied with the first shot.
Mainly filter selection.
The reason why many films were considered inferior to TV dramas is often that the picture is too correct, which inevitably lacks the feeling of some films.
This wormhole, set off by the halo yellow filter, is only the first shot, which reflects the atmosphere of the film to the audience.
This kind of thing is very mysterious and simple.
The key is to look at personal skills.
Simon also considered this problem at the beginning when making the first Lola Run, and with the solid skills of more than a dozen professionals in his mind, he produced a negative that can be used directly without color matching.
For a short time, Simon's thoughts were soon attracted by the plot.
On the big screen, the dissolute young man Lao Qi is ignorant and incompetent. Of course, this is just an appearance. Through some small details, such as helping the neighbor's old lady move things, he was scolded and some idle words were not refuted. It can be seen that he is still a good person in his heart. Of course, the main thing is that it is very important for the domestic side to have a trial.
Otherwise, if it's the kind of "two big cigarette guns", think about... Well, don't think about it, don't even think about it.
The story went on. Soon, the ten thousand yuan that fell from the sky made old seven ecstatic. He was thinking of marrying his girlfriend Juan Zi, who had been a childhood sweetheart for many years, home with this money. Suddenly, the money was lost again.
In despair, jump into a well.
Then, reincarnation.
Constant reincarnation, over and over again.
Full of comedy.
For example, when he jumped into a well for the third time, in front of the neighbor's old lady, old seven fell down. He was so frightened that the old lady covered her heart and fell straight back, which almost made everyone in the projection hall laugh.
Finally, after many reincarnations, Lao Qi gradually discovered the truth of the 10000 yuan. At the same time, he realized life and finally got married with his girlfriend Juan Zi.
Happy ending.
