At the end of January, the Film Bureau.
In the meeting room, a group of people are also summing up their work last year.
Towards the end, the leader suddenly said: “Maybe everyone has read today’s newspaper, and formally share it at the meeting. After all, it is great news.”
He motioned to the side, and the man read a report:
“Since “October Besieged City” was released on December 29 last year, it has been well received and the box office has gone viral.
As of January 29, it has achieved a staggering score of 170 million, surpassing “A World Without Thieves” by 140 million, becoming the second place in the total list since the domestic box office adopts split accounts. The first is “Titanic”.
According to expert analysis, the domestic film market is gradually improving, and the enthusiasm for watching movies is steadily rising, but compared with Hollywood, the base is still weak and lacks long-term combat capabilities.
Just like “October Siege”, 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 expanding the base of watching movies, improving the quality of works, and making movie watching a habitual way of leisure are still a long way to go.
In addition, the film achieved a score of 11 million in Hong Kong. Although it is slightly insufficient, it has won unanimous praise from film critics. It is expected that it will show off at this year’s Academy Awards. “
After reading, he said: “The office has verified that it is indeed 170 million, but not much.”
Suddenly, the scene was very atmospheric.
“It feels like it’s back to 80 years, it’s over 100 million at every turn.”
“Can you compare it? How much did the movie tickets cost in the 1980s and how much are they now?”
“It’s not the same. There will be nothing else but movies. There are so many ways to entertain, and there are still 170 million, which is very rare!”
“Hey, how many Titanic are there?”
“More than 300 million.”
“Oh, that’s a lot worse.”
“Take it slowly! Is Zhang Yimou’s “Hero” not released this year? One step at a time.”
“Bigger and stronger!”
There was joyful air inside and outside, as if it was their credit.
…
“Good! Good!”
In Radio and Television, Leader Xu was going around in circles, and asked Lao Wu and Lao Han who were specially called: “Can you still rush up?”
“It’s difficult, 170 million basically ends up.”
“Well, it’s pretty good too. By the way, can the cost be recovered?”
“Uh……”
The two looked at each other, and Wu Mengchen said: “The total investment is more than 60 million yuan, and half of it is actually the money for landscaping. On the surface, it is barely repaid, but it is a small profit if you include the buyout income of overseas copyright and audio-visual products.
The profit margin is not as good as in A World Without Thieves. “
“Thanks for your hard work. Looking at the scenery in large movies, the risks are also great.”
Leader Xu nodded. The scene was in Xiangshan. It seemed that a lot of money was spent, but it was real estate, which could be made up quickly by traveling.
Moreover, Ronda is the major shareholder of that studio.
Ronda is amazing now! Commercial real estate, high-end villa areas, general residential areas, office buildings, and hotels are all involved. CBD complexes are being built, and most of them are blooming all over the country. Ten thousand supermarkets and shops can be regarded as the dominant retail industry in Beijing…
It’s just that the investment choices are a bit strange, and I prefer Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, which is puzzling.
Especially Zhejiang Province, which 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 okay?”
“Hurry up and see, I’m overbearing!”
“Bump the horse! Bump the horse!”
“Believe you, I took my girlfriend tonight, just in time for the pen fee.”
“Show off your girlfriend and kill upstairs!”
“Kill upstairs!”
“Only I pay attention to where I get the manuscript fee? I have written a lot of articles on the Internet, and I have always been prostituted.”
“Find the right way! Go to the World Book Station, they will help you recommend to the paper media or publishing house, my manuscript fee is the magazine.”
“Tianxia Book Station has been revised. It is now called Tianxia Chinese Network. There are prizes for online novels, and the first prize is 200,000!”
As soon as this comment came out, it was immediately pushed up, and it was hot.
He quickly crooked the building and ran from “October Besieged” to an online novel. I didn’t know it, but only after a chat I found out: Hey, there are so many colleagues!
“It’s off topic!”
Yu Jiajia was dissatisfied, hitting the keyboard and trying to bring the topic back, continuing to bring the rhythm, and secretly observing the attitudes of netizens to various issues in the movie.
Her executive power is super strong, Xu Fei immediately handed over the work, got a small room, and organized the staff to start work.
Mr. Xu’s request is: to become the most influential and authoritative movie scoring website in China, and to lead a review of music and books.
Yu Jiajia referred to the American IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
The format is different, but for one thing, both the audience and the film critics are used for double evaluation. She prefers Rotten Tomatoes. This website uses proportions.
Film critics are “recommended” and “not recommended”. If more than 60% of film critics recommend, the freshness of rotten tomatoes will be Fresh; if more than 75% recommend, it will become “CertifiedFresh”.
The audience is starred first, and then the proportion of users with more than 3.5 stars is collected.
Regardless of how it is said, Yu Jiajia’s general direction has been set: it must be the dual evaluation criteria of audience, film critic/media.
…………
In the first year of 2002, the entertainment circle was lively.
“October Besieged City”, the selection of the Four Little Huadans, and the Golden Broom Award that many people want.
Since its announcement last year, the Golden Broomstick Award has really gotten the ballot, including Chinese films from the Mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The principle is: Only influential, well-known directors and actors can be selected.
Because the Golden Broom is designed to spur, a lot of bad movies every year, of course, pick celebrities.
The media first lists a number of nominations, and then synthesizes the opinions of netizens and film critics to arrive at a result.
Lucky for mainland films, now the output is small, and the bad ones are not well-known. The famous ones are all good films made by Mr. Xu. So Hong Kong became the hardest hit area.
Some films have not been shown on the mainland, and the audience has seen them through pirated discs, but they cannot be made public. Therefore, it is divided into regions, and local agencies in Hong Kong are entrusted to investigate those that are not shown.
The organizer is not any print media, so Sohu will do it for fear of offending people.
“The Legend of Shushan”, “The Mysterious City of Special Agents”, “The First Intimate Contact”, “Dark War 2″… are all well-known.
I was shocked when I was nominated.
Tsui Hark! Cheng Long! Do you really dare to give it?
So Sohu announced: “On February 1, the first Golden Broomstick Awards Ceremony will be held!”
He also released a photo of the trophy: a broomstick.
Really broom.
…………
In a blink of an eye came the day, afternoon.
Deng Chao has been on winter vacation, but in order to participate in this event, he left a few days late and lived in the company dormitory.
At this moment, he put on one of his best clothes, bright black shoes, picked up the bicycle key, thought for a while and put it down.
Shame, let’s take a taxi.
In total, just about to leave, the agent opened the door and came in, carrying large and small bags.
“Brother, what are you doing?”
“I’ve given you a outfit, and put it on quickly.”
The agent took out a suit and said, “Although it is not a formal occasion today, you still have to wear a suit. This is casual and suitable.”
Deng Chao was manipulated like a puppet. Finally, he looked in the mirror and hey, it is different to put on his clothes!
“Brother, do you have to spend a lot of money?”
“The company’s newcomers have an annual setup fee, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
“Then I have to buy it myself when I become a wrist?”
“No experience! When you become a master, the brand will sponsor. Our main partner is Elaine Group.”
After packing, the two went downstairs.
There is a car downstairs, although it is not a good car. Deng Chao was already very satisfied. He came to Kunlun Hotel and saw Zhou Xun and Cao Ying chatting inside the lobby.
“…”
He hesitated, and the agent pulled a hand: “Hello!”
“Sister Xiaoxun! Sister Xiaoying! This is Deng Chao, the newly signed newcomer.”
Deng Chao followed and called his sister. He was born in 79 years and is really a junior.
The two were very casual. After chatting for a few words, Zhou Xun’s eyes suddenly lit up and ran to the door: “Ah, rich woman!”
“Ah, Xiaohuadan!”
Wang Yan, who had just gotten out of her husband’s luxury car, slid over, and joined Cao Ying to jump around, like a mentally retarded girl.
“What do you think?”
In the elevator, the agent asked.
“Uh, I have to work hard.”
“The company’s overall environment is pretty good, but internal competition has always been fierce, even greater than external competition. Because almost all the 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 challenge is ten times that of them. “
“…”
Deng Chao suddenly felt the pressure and was silent.
The agent comforted: “However, the company is already adjusting. The four of them and Sister Gong Li will soon set up a personal studio. The company will invest and pay a certain amount of profit every year.
As soon as they left, the head actress was free.
Actors are relatively close. Your advantage lies in your age and image. You are a niche. “
After speaking, I arrived at the place, a small hall with a hundred seats and a table, which looked decent. There is a large back panel at the front:
“The first Golden Broom Awards ceremony!”
Deng Chao sat down ignorantly, surrounded by newcomers from the company, sitting in the front row, and cameras.
“Uh, are those reporters?”
He couldn’t help asking the little girl next to him.
“It’s a reporter, and there are award-giving guests.” Sun Li said.
“There are still award-giving guests?”
“I said yes, but I don’t recognize any of them.”
Deng Chao looked at it again, without recognizing it, and said in a low voice: “I don’t know what Xu always asked us to do. Can’t it be an audience?”
“Get education.” Fu Dalong said suddenly.
Seeing the doubts of the two, he smiled and said, “Let’s see how embarrassed, and tell us, don’t shoot bad movies in the future.”
“Oh!”
The two were surprised, but they didn’t take it seriously, young people!
The conversation was quite enthusiastic, and I was already thinking about what the company wine would be.
When the people are all there, it will be exactly four o’clock in the afternoon.
Sohu’s Tang Jian strode to the stage and said bluntly: “I’m hosting today. I don’t think I know me, but it’s okay. Then I will be introduced here, Sohu’s vice president and head of video department.
He compared it in the void and continued: “By the way, with the gradual commercialization of broadband in China, we are preparing to build a dedicated video website, and I will meet you next year or the year after.
So we cannot say that we have nothing to do with film and television.
Then why am I hosting? Because many professionals are invited, they are unwilling and afraid of offending others.
At the same time, many directors and actors were invited to be the award-giving guests. They were unwilling, afraid of offending others.
Then I want to say, why do we have this award? Are we not afraid to offend people?
Ha ha! “
“what!”
Laughing underneath. Sohu’s status this year is equivalent to the later generations of Penguin and Ali.
After a talk show came, Tang Jian announced: “The first Golden Broom Awards ceremony officially begins!”
