Since 1983

At the end of January, the Film Bureau.

In the conference room, a group of people are also summarizing the work of last year.

Near the end, the leader suddenly said: "Maybe everyone has read today's newspaper, and I will officially share it at the meeting. After all, it is great news."

He gestured to the side, and the man read a report:

"Since "October Siege" was released on December 29 last year, it has been well received and the box office is booming.

As of January 29, it has achieved an astonishing 170 million results, surpassing the 140 million of "A World Without Thieves", becoming the second place in the domestic box office since the adoption of split accounts, and the first is "Titanic".

According to expert analysis, the domestic film market is gradually improving, and the enthusiasm for watching movies is steadily rising. However, compared with Hollywood, the base is still weak and lacks long-term combat capabilities.

Just like "October Besieged City", it won 100 million box office in the first ten days, but only 70 million in the next 20 days.

It can be seen that there is still a long way to go to expand the viewing base, improve the quality of works, and make watching movies a habitual way of leisure.

In addition, the film scored 11 million in Hong Kong. Although it is slightly insufficient, it has won unanimous praise from film critics. "

After reading it, he said again: "The office has verified it, and it is indeed 170 million, just not much."

Suddenly there was a great atmosphere at the scene.

"It feels like going back to the 1980s, and it will exceed 100 million at any time."

"Can it be compared? How much was a movie ticket in the 1980s, and how much is it now?"

"It's not the same. There will be nothing else but watching movies. Now that there are so many entertainment methods, it's rare to still have 170 million!"

"Hey, um, um, how much is Titanic?"

"More than 300 million."

"Yo, that's quite a bit."

"Take your time! Isn't Zhang Yimou's "Hero" released this year? One step at a time."

"Bigger and stronger!"

The cheerful atmosphere on and off the court seemed to be due to them.

...

"well!"

On Radio and Television, Leader Xu was circling around, asking Old Wu and Old Han who had been specially called, "Can you still charge up?"

"It's hard, 170 million is basically over."

"Well, it's also very good. By the way, can the cost be recovered?"

"Well……"

The two looked at each other, and Wu Mengchen said: "The total investment is more than 60 million, and half of it is actually the landscaping money. On the surface, it barely pays back, but counting the buyout proceeds of overseas copyrights and audio-visual products, let's make a small profit.

The margins are not as good as A World Without Thieves. "

"Thank you for your hard work. The blockbuster film looks beautiful, and the risk is also great."

Leader Xu nodded. The scene in Xiangshan seems to have cost a lot of money, but it is real estate, which can be made up quickly by traveling.

Moreover, the major shareholder of the film and television city is Lunda.

Rhonda is amazing now! Commercial real estate, high-end villa areas, general residential areas, office buildings, and hotels are all involved. The complex in the CBD is under construction, and most of them are blossoming all over the country. Wanjia supermarkets and stores can be called the hegemony of Beijing's retail industry...

It's just that the investment choice is a bit strange, and I prefer Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, which is puzzling.

Especially in Zhejiang Province, it has been in full swing in the past two years.

…………

"170 million! Bull!"

"Have you all watched it? I haven't watched it yet. Is it good?"

"Hurry up and see, you old boss!"

"Bump the horse! Bump the horse!"

"Believe you, I will take my girlfriend there at night, and I will get the manuscript fee."

"Show off your girlfriend, kill the upstairs!"

"Kill the upstairs!"

"Am I the only one who cares about where I get the royalties? I wrote a lot of articles on the Internet, but I was always prostituted for nothing."

"Find the right way! Go to Tianxia Bookstore and have a look. They will recommend you to print media or publishing houses. My manuscript fee is paid by the magazine."

"The Tianxia Bookstore has been revised. It is now called Tianxia Chinese Website. There is a prize for collecting online novels. The first one will give 200,000 yuan!"

As soon as this comment came out, it was immediately pushed up, and it was very hot.

Quickly, I ran from "October Besieged City" to online novels, and I didn't know if I didn't talk about it. After chatting, I found out: Hey, so there are so many comrades!

"Off topic!"

Yu Jiajia was dissatisfied, and tried to bring the topic back by typing on the keyboard, continued to follow the rhythm, and secretly observed netizens' attitudes towards various issues about the film.

Her execution ability is super strong. As soon as Xu Fei spoke, he immediately handed over the work, built a small room, and organized people to work.

Mr. Xu's request is: to become the most influential and authoritative movie rating website in China, and to review music and books by the way.

Yu Jiajia referred to IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes in the United States.

The forms are different, but one thing is that they all use the double evaluation of audiences and film critics. She prefers Rotten Tomatoes, which is based on ratios.

The film critics are "recommended" and "not recommended". If more than 60% of the film critics recommend it, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes will be Fresh; if more than 75% of the film critics recommend it, it will become "Certified Fresh".

The audience is to hit stars first, and then collect the proportion of all users with more than 3 and a half stars.

No matter how you say it, Yu Jiajia's general direction has been set: it must adopt the dual evaluation standards of the audience and film critics/media.

…………

In the beginning of 2002, the entertainment circle was bustling.

"October Besieged City", the selection of the Four Little Stars, and the Golden Broom Award that many people are thinking of.

Since it was announced last year, the Golden Broom Awards really got votes, including Chinese-language films from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The principle is: Only influential, well-known directors and actors can be selected.

Because the golden broom is designed to spur, there are a lot of bad movies every year, of course celebrities are selected to spray.

The media first lists a number of nominations, and then combines the opinions of netizens and film critics to come up with the results.

Mainland films are lucky, now the output is small, the bad ones are not well-known, and the famous ones are all the good films made by Mr. Xu. So Hong Kong became the hardest hit area.

Some films were not released in mainland China, and audiences have watched them on pirated discs, but they cannot be made public. Therefore, it is also divided into regions, and local organizations in Hong Kong are entrusted to investigate those that have not been screened.

The organizer is not any paper media, so Sohu will do it for fear of offending people.

"The Legend of Shushan", "The Lost City of Secret Agents", "The First Close Contact", "Dark War 2"...all of them are well-known.

When the nomination came out, I was shocked.

Tsui Hark! Cheng Long! Do you really dare to give it?

So Sohu announced: "On February 1st, the first Golden Broom Awards Ceremony will be held!"

He also released a photo of the trophy in a serious manner: a broom.

True broom.

…………

In a blink of an eye, it was the afternoon.

Deng Chao was already on winter vacation, but in order to participate in this event, he deliberately left a few days late and lived in the company dormitory.

At this moment, he put on his best clothes, bright black leather shoes, picked up the bicycle key, thought about it and put it down again.

Shame on you, let's take a taxi.

Just as he was about to leave, the manager opened the door and came in, carrying big bags and small bags.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"I have equipped you with an outfit, change it quickly."

The manager took out a suit and said, "Although it's not a very formal occasion today, I still have to wear a suit. It's casual and just right."

Deng Chao was being manipulated like a puppet, and at the end he looked in the mirror, tsk, it's different when he's dressed!

"Brother, will it cost a lot of money?"

"Newcomers to the company have installation fees every year, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Then when I become a wrist, I have to buy it myself?"

"I have no experience! When you become a wrist, the brand will sponsor you. Our main partner is Elaine Group."

After tidying up, the two went downstairs.

There is actually a car downstairs, although it is not a good car. Deng Chao was already satisfied, so he came to the Kunlun Hotel, and when he entered the lobby, he saw Zhou Xun and Cao Ying chatting inside.

"..."

He hesitated, and the manager pulled him back: "Say hello!"

"Sister Xiaoxun! Sister Xiaoying! This is Deng Chao, the newly signed newcomer."

Deng Chao was called Sister. He was born in 1979, so he is really a junior.

The two of them chatted casually, Zhou Xun's eyes lit up suddenly, and he ran to the door: "Ah, rich woman!"

"Ah, little Huadan!"

Wang Yan, who just got off her husband's luxury car, ran over and jumped up and down with Cao Ying, like a mentally handicapped girl.

"How do you feel?"

In the elevator, the agent asked.

"Uh, I still have to work hard."

"The overall environment of the company is not bad, but internal competition has always been fierce, even greater than external competition. Because almost all good actors and seedlings are here.

Your chances are ten times that of artists from other companies, but if you want to get ahead, the challenges are also ten times theirs. "

"..."

Deng Chao felt the pressure suddenly and remained silent.

The agent also comforted: "However, the company is already adjusting. The four of them, plus Sister Gong Li, will soon set up a personal studio, which will be invested by the company and a certain amount of profits will be handed over every year.

As soon as they were gone, the head actress was vacated.

Actors are relatively poor, your advantage lies in age and image, you are a niche. "

Talking and talking, I arrived at the place, a small hall with hundreds of seats and a table, which looked decent. There is a large backplane in the front:

"The First Golden Broom Awards Ceremony!"

Deng Chao sat down in a daze, surrounded by newcomers to the company, sitting in the front row, with cameras.

"Uh, are those reporters?"

He couldn't help but ask the little girl next to him.

"It's a reporter, and an award presenter," Sun Li said.

"There are also award presenters here?"

"They say there are, but I don't recognize any of them."

Deng Chao looked again, but he didn't recognize him, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what Mr. Xu asked us to do. We can't be spectators, right?"

"Get an education." Fu Dalong said suddenly.

Seeing that the two were puzzled, he smiled and said, "Let's see how we are ashamed, and tell us not to make bad movies in the future."

"oh!"

The two were stunned, but they didn't take it seriously, young man!

On the contrary, the conversation was very lively, and I was already thinking about what to eat at the company reception later.

When the staff arrives, it will be four o'clock in the afternoon.

Sohu.com's Tang Jian strode up to the stage and said bluntly: "I'm the host today. You probably don't know me, but it doesn't matter. When the time comes, I'll introduce you here. Sohu's vice president and head of the video department."

He made a comparison in vain, and continued: "By the way, with the gradual commercialization of China's broadband, we are preparing to build a dedicated video website, and we will meet you next year or the year after.

So it cannot be said that we have nothing to do with film and television.

So why am I here to host? Because many professionals were invited, but they were unwilling, for fear of offending others.

At the same time, many directors and actors were invited to be award presenters, but they were unwilling because they were afraid of offending others.

Then I want to say, why do we have this award? Are we not afraid of offending others?

hehe! "

"ha!"

The bottom is also laughing. The status of Sohu these days is equivalent to that of Penguin and Ali in later generations.

After a talk show, Tang Jian announced: "The first Golden Broom Awards Ceremony has officially begun!"
