You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 221 Popularizing 3D and online ticket purchasing (3, both ordered 6400, please give me a mon

When the five minutes were over, Han Sanping took off his glasses and felt that it was so enjoyable. Is this thing so real?

Ye Ning asked Si Cong on the side, "Are the 3D movies you watched abroad so realistic?"

"It's far behind!" Wang Sicong shook his head, "I mean, the foreign ones are far behind this one!"

Other theater bosses also started whispering. In just five minutes, it was a huge shock to them.

The 2D version just now was already amazing, and now the 3D version has taken the level of amazement to another level. It is an experience they have never had before. If the theaters are showing this kind of movies, why don’t the audience not go to the theater!

"Can you play it again? I haven't seen enough!"

At this time, a girl's voice came from the back of the theater. It was Yang Mi who stood up and spoke out everyone's thoughts.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Okay, but before that, do you have anything you want to ask?"

Xu Yongan from Hengdian Group stood up, "I was really shocked just now. I want to ask what the relationship between "Inception" and this short film is?"

Wang Quan, "This "Gravity 3D" is a practice work I shot for "Inception" to master the shooting techniques of 3D movies. The content is not related. After all, 3D movies are also special to me." It’s a brand new attempt, and I didn’t know anything before filming.”

I heard that this was just a practice work, and the audience once again started talking about it. You are making it difficult for your domestic colleagues.

Ye Ning from Wanda Cinema asked, "What is the cost of this short film?"

"Not counting the cost of actors, it's almost 100 million yuan." Wang Quan said without blushing or out of breath.

Everyone was shocked again. No wonder Wang Quan spent 300 million dollars to shoot the "Inception". This kind of extravagant gameplay is really not suitable for the mainland. Only Hollywood can really pull this off.

Indeed, 3D costs a lot more than normal movies. Wang Quan has also seen some so-called 3D movies in China. Many of them are just 3D subtitles, most of which are converted through software. Only Xu is the one who can catch the eye with the 3D effect. The old monster's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

After answering some of everyone's questions, the short film was played again. Yang Mi stretched out her hands and exclaimed, "It turns out that 3D movies are so magical!"

Liu Yifei took the opportunity to show off, "Mimi, do you know how 3D movies are shot? In fact, two cameras are needed to simulate the left and right eyes of a person..."

Yang Mi was depressed and obviously lost, right? If Brother Quan hadn't told you, would you have known it?

Yu Feihong in the back was smiling all over her face. She could see Yang Mi's irritation just by looking at the back of her head, but Liu Yifei couldn't tell even if she was next to her.

After the movie was screened, Wang Quan said again, "Currently, there is no company specializing in the production of 3D projection equipment in China. It just so happens that Dawang Cinema Line wants to purchase a batch. Everyone can come together and buy in groups. I believe that as long as the quantity is large enough, the unit price can be reduced. , you can contact Manager Ruan in this regard."

Manager Ruan stood up and signaled.

Wang Quan added, "In addition, there is a two-minute version of "Gravity 3D". As long as there is a 3D theater chain, you can sign up to make a copy from Manager Ruan, and you can play it in your own theater for free. .”

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that this was an advertisement for King Quan itself, and at the same time it was an advertisement for the promising model of 3D. I believe that every audience who has watched this short film will be interested in King Quan's future "Inception" Space” is full of expectations and becomes a potential audience.

The short film was shown three times for only fifteen minutes, plus the speeches at the front and back, the total time was only one hour, but this hour was an important turning point for the domestic cinema chain.

Almost all participants had an idea after watching "Gravity", that is, they must equip their theaters with 3D projection equipment!

At this time, there are only seven theater chains in the country with more than 60 3D theaters. If King Quan's "Inception" can be as amazing as this "Gravity", then they will make all the money!

I believe that after this year, it will not be a problem for the 3D screening room to exceed 100.

Most theater managers are just thinking about adding 3D projection equipment, while some ambitious ones are already planning IMAX giant screens, such as Wanda’s Ye Ning. He feels that with the increase in national income, more people should be interested in high-quality screens. to pay for the movie-watching experience.

It may be troublesome to renovate existing theaters, but Wanda has been building new theaters. The Wanda Cinema in Dongguan is about to start construction recently, and it can be used as a pilot project.

Han Sanping also thought about it, thinking about discussing with the theaters owned by China Film Group to see if they had the budget to renovate and install IMAX giant screens.

"Red Cliff" is about to be completed and will be released next year. If such a blockbuster is paired with such a giant screen, the effect will definitely be more outstanding and it will attract more audiences!

Wang Quan really brought a breath of fresh air to the mainland film market. He reminded him very timely. In the past, he only thought about using blockbusters to attract audiences and box office. Why didn't he think of using higher-quality screening halls?

For a giant-screen hall like this, it shouldn’t be too much to pay twice as much as an ordinary hall!

Next, Wang Quan still didn't have time to spend time with Yang Mi and the others. He still had something to talk to Han Sanping.

They found a renovated office, just the four of them, Wang Quan, Han Sanping, Lao Wang, and Shi Nansheng.

Han Sanping smiled from ear to ear and praised the short film Wang Quan brought back. He said that his new film will definitely leave a mark in film history. Then he asked, "What do you think of this film being made into a Sino-US co-production? This way, Being able to enjoy the treatment of domestic films, I think I can even get 40% of the box office share!"

If it were a Sino-US co-production, half of the credit for this movie would belong to China Film.

However, he obviously overthought it. The co-production film needs to meet three basic conditions: first, the Chinese investment must be no less than one-third; second, the main actors need to be Chinese nationals; and third, the filming needs to be done in China.

Just say one-third of the funds, that is 100 million US dollars. China Film really does not have that strength. Even if China Film leads "Red Cliff", most of the funds are actually from overseas (mainly Neon), and China Film only spent 1,000 More than ten thousand dollars, this is enough to make Han Sanping want to go to the Red Cliff set every week.

Even if it is not 100 million dollars, even if it is a 20% discount, the pressure on the boss Han Sanping will be very, very high, and his career will be over if he makes a slight mistake.

Moreover, it is impossible for the king to give in to the main actor, and his starring list has already been confirmed.

Later, a movie called "Iron Man 3" tried to enter the mainland as a co-production by recruiting Chinese actors, but it failed in the end.

After dispelling Mr. Han's unrealistic idea, Wang Quan said something practical, "If China Film is willing, I can allocate an investment share of 30 million US dollars. China Film can enjoy an equal proportion of the global box office share and receive mainland China's investment share." Part of the copyright. In addition, as a partner, I allow China Film to send three young directors to the crew to study for free, and I also promise not to hide anything."

30 million dollars is one-tenth of the investment ratio. Although it only has box office share and some mainland copyrights, King Power's "Twilight Saga" can sell 500 million dollars globally, and "Inception" is not even seven 800 million, you can make a lot of money!

The key is to train new people. When the time comes, new people will be able to make such blockbusters, which will be a great good thing for the film industry.

However, Han Sanping had other requests, "Then the producer column..."

Wang Quan, "naturally will have Mr. Han's name."

Han Sanping smiled with satisfaction, "I hope we can add two managers to the crew. Don't worry, we won't interfere, we will just learn."

He felt that it was necessary to learn not only the shooting techniques of Hollywood, but also the advanced management experience of the other party. The country was not only short of good directors, but also of outstanding production talents.

This request was reasonable, and the royal authority satisfied it.

Shi Nansheng had been eager to try, but he didn't speak out and just listened silently.

Later, Wang Quan brought up the matter of cinema networking. There are now nearly 1,500 cinemas in the country, and less than four-fifths are connected to the Internet. In other words, only less than four-fifths of the cinemas can "truthfully" upload ticket information to China Film. .

There is a lot of room for manipulation here. During the previous release of The Twilight Saga, Lao Wang had asked people to investigate the lower-level markets. Many of the tickets were handwritten, and it was hard to say whose pocket the money went into in the end.

Wang Quan hopes that China Film Group, as the leader in the industry, can continue to promote the formalization of theaters across the country and resolve the underreporting and underreporting.

"Twilight will be released in the summer of 2009. At that time, we will refuse to provide copies to informal theaters that cannot access the Internet."

Han Sanping, "Don't worry, we have been advancing this matter. Before, the Internet connection rate was less than 70%. Isn't this rising?"

And if you buy more tickets, China Film can earn more.

After seeing off the proud Han Sanping, Wang Quan looked at Shi Nansheng and asked, "Does Mr. Shi have anything to say?"

Shi Nansheng said sheepishly, "Actually, I wanted to ask if I could take a copy back to Xiangjiang. I want Xu Ke to take a look."

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Of course you can. Director Xu is also welcome to come to our crew to guide the work when he is free."

Shi Nansheng felt that she had been seen through by Wang Quan. In fact, she just thought that the master would like the special effects expression of this kind of 3D movie. I was afraid that after watching "Gravity 3D", she would want to pester Wang Quan to study. Unexpectedly, Wang Quan brought it up first.

Wang Quan is leaving tomorrow, and he has to meet someone before leaving.

"Brother Peng, here."

"Second uncle, Quan'er!"

Zhou Peng, wearing a plaid shirt and carrying a computer bag, walked into the private room. Shi Nansheng and Manager Ruan were also inside.

"How is Brother Peng doing in the company?" Wang Quan asked.

Zhou Peng scratched his head and said, "Well, one of our class members, Zhang, resigned and went to Microsoft. It's no longer interesting for me to work."

Wang Quan looked happy, thinking that he would have to waste some words.

Wang Qiankun smiled and patted his nephew on the shoulder, "Since you're not happy doing it, why not come to my second uncle's place to do it!"

"Huh? I don't understand movies either."

Wang Quan, "Actually, it's not about working with my dad. I want to set up a new company, and I want to ask Brother Peng to help me."

"Oh, Quan'er, I'm embarrassed to say that. Who am I? But what does the new company you mentioned do? Does it deal with the Internet?"

Wang Quan, "That's it. I hope you can help me build a website that is bound to the ticketing systems of Dawang Cinema Line and Jiahe Cinema Line. You can lock your seats online and pay in advance to buy tickets. It can be regarded as a kind of specialized online shopping." "

Nowadays, the concept of online shopping is becoming more and more popular. Zhou Peng knows that this is a trend. He also likes to buy books on Dangdang, buy orders on JD.com, and buy plaid shirts on Taobao.

Guevara, the pioneer of online movie ticket sales, will not be established until next year, and Wang Quan does not know him either. The thing he has seen most in future film and television works is Maoyan, and he told Zhou Peng based on the operation method of Maoyan, but mobile phones are not smart yet. , you can mainly use the computer side, and then develop a mobile phone software for the Symbian system as a supplement.

Zhou Peng's eyes lit up after hearing this, "This is a great idea. It will make it much more convenient to buy tickets in the future."

Wang Qiankun smiled and said, "Should we call it Dawang Ticket Buying Network?"

Wang Quan shook his head, "This website is not for the King or Jiahe. I plan to cooperate with cinemas across the country. By then, audiences across the country can buy tickets in advance without leaving home, and their willingness to watch movies will be greatly increased."

It can even cooperate with concerts, crosstalk theaters, etc., and you can get involved in ticket sales!

Well, forget about the train ticket.

The next day, Zhou Peng submitted his resignation like his good brother. When Zhang heard that Zhou Peng had resigned and started a business, he was deeply touched. Unexpectedly, Zhou Peng, who had always been conservative, actually stepped in front of him. He was ashamed. ah!

Wang Quan also left. He waved his sleeves and didn't take away a single cloud. However, some people were sad to hear that he had left.

This time last year, Wang Quan worked as a teacher at Nortel, and in that master class there was a student named Yang Qing who graduated from Sichuan Music and was admitted to the directing department of the China Academy of Adult Education.

After listening to Wang Quan's class, he began to concentrate on writing scripts. Inspired by "10 Cloverfield Lane" and a certain Kimchi Country movie, he decided to compress the story into a very small space and use a few actors to tell it. a story.

The story is called "Supermarket" and it tells the story of two people robbing a supermarket late at night.

Now that the story was written and he heard that Director Wang had returned to China, he immediately went to Wangdao Pictures to find Wang Quan. He thought it would be more polite to ask for advice in person.

As a result, Chen Chuling told him that Director Wang's flight had just left for Los Angeles this morning.

Yang Qing said that if God cannot help me, then it seems that the only option is to send an email.

At this time, Yang Mi, who was in Chen Chuling's office, said, "What script is it? Can I read it?"

Yang Qing knew that Yang Mi was Director Wang's childhood sweetheart, and she also opened a film and television company. She was one of the few people in the industry who was her own boss.

He nodded and Yang Mi took it, supermarket? This name sounds very popular, even if you add "crazy".

However, after reading it, Yang Mi's expression changed slightly. There is something in this script!

She could hold her nerve at first, but then she became more and more happy, until she couldn't help laughing.

This script is okay. Although it doesn't have the exquisite multi-line narrative of "Crazy Stone", a lot of baggage can be echoed back and forth, which is quite memorable.

The key point is that the entire movie was completed in a supermarket, which cost so little!

After spending more than an hour reading it roughly, Yang Mi rolled her eyes and said, "Director Yang, do you mind coming out and let's chat alone?"

Chen Chuling banged the table, "Yang Mi, put down our company's script for me!"
