It is conceivable that various industries will be affected by this large-scale event in the second half of this year, which will more or less change the original plans.
As one of the main participants, China Film Group has been informed of this kind of news in advance, and it is reasonable to advance the premiere and screening period.
Although Liu Qingshan was helpless, he had to respond positively. No, this internal staff meeting was held.
The reason why he chose to stay in Sanrenlu was Liu Qingshan's idea, because he didn't want to participate too much in discussions or banquets related to the system.
Therefore, the number of participants this time was once again reduced, and negotiations were limited to investors related to the entertainment industry.
After all, San Ren Lu is a very special public place on the ground in Kyoto, and the high consumption level here is not ordinary high. People in the officialdom will not take the initiative to find this place unless they are very necessary.
This can be regarded as a kind of self-protection. After all, high consumption is a very sensitive concern. How to effectively avoid getting involved with Sanrenlu is a necessary means for ordinary officials.
Of course, when your status reaches a certain level, you don’t need to be cautious. For example, the main figures of several big families have retired and the older generation, like Sanrenlu and Liu People who have direct business dealings with Qingshan are not included in this list.
This latter group of people includes Han Shanping. Now half of Huaying's annual investment is related to Liu Qingshan's projects. His coming and going here can only be regarded as work needs.
Some other investors are private individuals and can naturally come and go freely, including Pan-Asia Investment CEO Luo Weixing from the mainland, Boss Yang of Qinghuang Pictures in Xiangjiang, Li Xiangze, chairman of Panshi Company, and Zhou Changhuai, president of Jiahe Pictures.
Of course there are other investors in this film, but compared with these people, those are only symbolic investments that account for a small proportion and do not have the right to speak.
There is a reason for finding so many investors. If you pay attention to the credits at the end of every movie, you will see a long list of investors.
These are the rules of the industry. Domination by one company is not allowed. This is not just an industry rule in China, but a unified game rule for the global entertainment industry.
Of course, this is also related to the size of the project. For example, last year Snowland Entertainment quietly shot Crazy Stone, with a total investment of only a few million.
Such a small project still has its own peculiarities. To put it bluntly, investors don't like it. The publicity and marketing after the filming is completed is more than this amount. Three times it is considered a saving.
Before Liu Qingshan had obtained the customary industry rules, he had to take the initiative to cater to these industry rules. This was also the smartest way.
No, with their participation, before he could react, someone had obtained the business secrets in advance and actively promoted the holding of this small meeting.
Nowadays, after the addition of another small courtyard, Sanren House's original three entrances have become five entrances.
Although this scale is far from the famous courtyard with 13 entrances and 13 exits in Prince Gong's Mansion, even though only seven entrances are now fully preserved.
But such a scale is considered to be high in Kyoto. However, Liu Qingshan's focus is not here, but that the overall layout of the two houses after the merger is in line with his wishes.
At present, Sanrenlu has formed a combination of public and private
There are two areas: the public area is the east garden for tea drinkers and diners to dine, and the private area is the west garden for the owners.
Moreover, a multi-functional room with an area of 100 square meters has been opened in the southeast corner of the west courtyard. It can be used for internal meetings and the fitness equipment inside can also be used for daily exercise.
Tonight's meeting will be held there, and the windows of the back kitchen are connected to the west courtyard. The cooked meals can also be delivered through the windows, saving a few trips into the courtyard.
When Liu Qingshan arrived, Mr. Han and others were gathered in the private tea room belonging to Mr. Ciao in the west courtyard.
After moving the position, it was time for dinner, and the Taoist meals unique to Sanrenlu were promptly served on the table through the special window.
Daddy Boonmee lives here
The quality of the red wine supplied all year round, without eye-catching packaging, is more mellow and refreshing than many famous French wines, with a sweet aftertaste.
Of course, these are not the most expensive ones. For example, the top red wines of a special year are all hidden in Liu Qingshan's storage space. Even Jin Xishan doesn't know where they are.
And that a kind of officially released famous wine can cost tens of thousands of dollars, so he is not so luxurious as to use it to receive guests. That is not called hospitality, but sincerity. spendthrift.
Mr. Han first talked about the source and general direction of the inside information. This information was just obtained last night, and the guests from Xiangjiang came overnight.
They can't ignore it. "Ip Man" is Liu Qingshan's first kung fu film. Once it is released, it may not be able to achieve the overseas viewing scale of Bruce Lee.
How popular was Bruce Lee in Europe and the United States?
Hollywood, as the world's entertainment center, claims that it has created a new movie variety, and this variety satisfies people's fantasy and viewing desire for physical violence.
To put it simply: in previous European and American movies, violence was usually done with guns, knives and blood. Therefore, Bruce Lee’s dazzling and exciting continuous punches refreshed European and American people’s concept of watching movies, and even led the way. The new style of street fighting.
Of course, it also has something to do with Bruce Lee's naked display of muscles. Female audiences like to watch it, and women are the main customers of movie theaters.
At that time, actors and actresses showed off their muscles and skin in a short-lived and half-covered way. They never kept hitting you with their naked bodies for several minutes.
Using muscles to impact vision did not start with Bruce Lee.
For example, in the Tarzan series of the 1930s, the director consciously used the toned and well-proportioned bodies of swimmers as a selling point.
However, except for his size, Johnny Weissmuller has nothing to say about him.
Including Schwarzenegger later, as well as the leading female lead and the second leading female lead who went without clothes for a long time in the Conan series, they were all imitations of Bruce Lee after his death.
But the most important thing is the terrifying superhuman combat ability demonstrated by Bruce Lee. This is reflected in the old expansion packs. Bruce Lee did have actual combat confrontations with many famous martial arts masters or top figures of a certain genre at the time.
Especially the scene of killing a karate champion with nine punches in one second has always been regarded as a practical classic.
Relatively speaking, there are more and clearer actual combat scenes of Liu Qingshan today, and they include surveillance footage of two assassinations.
Bruce Lee’s point of truth
There is no comparison between the authenticity and cruelty of war data and this kind of image data. There is no need to elaborate on what it means.
The release of "Ip Man" with the brand of real kung fu is undoubtedly far more shocking than Bruce Lee's back then. It would not be surprising to say that there is no comparison at all.
These two pieces of video material, whether it is a fight in a narrow alley against nearly 200 people on a rainy night in Hong Kong, or a head-on confrontation with several heavy-weapon killers on the streets of London, are both disputes with real guns and live ammunition that cannot be captured in movies.
In particular, the latter used rockets. Even in an assassination on such a scale, Liu Qingshan not only achieved a complete victory without any injuries, but also captured many people by force.
This kind of horrific scene that should not appear in real life has long gone beyond the concept of movies.
What’s even more frightening is that this movie claims not to use any special effects, and even the most basic wires are not included in the filming.
In fact, this is also true. Even in the famous battle between Ip Man and Miura in the original version, no special effects were used.
Of course, Liu Qingshan has the ability to work at high altitudes, but Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, who plays Miwa, does not have such high skills.
Therefore, in this version of melee combat, he used the ability to support his energy, but no one knew about this except Hiroyuki Ikeuchi himself.
Moreover, this fighting scene is by no means as mysterious as the original version, and they all fall into the category of normal actual combat.
Although those high-difficulty suspended drifts and the like
The scene is gone, but the filmed effect is closer to reality, which makes the fight without special effects more watchable.
Just like the melee combat on the ground, without those fancy aerial rolls, the viewing experience is not necessarily lost. The more realistic fist-to-flesh action is the most convincing and exciting scene.
Taking all these into consideration, the release of "Ip Man" is bound to achieve a more brilliant box office attendance than the Bruce Lee period.
High attendance means high returns. Moreover, the investment in this film is not large. The investment of 80 million Chinese dollars is converted into US dollars, which is a little more than 10 million dollars, not even comparable to the low-cost investment of Hollywood.
It is so obvious that using small things to make big gains is the biggest expectation of several investors. Of course, they will be more attentive to the changes in the plan.
More importantly, this is only the first part of the Ip Man series, and the truly magnificent actual battle scenes will only appear in the second part.
Therefore, investors who have some understanding of this aspect value more the investment rights in subsequent series.
And according to Liu Qingshan, "Ip Man 3" will invite boxing champion Tyson, and "Ip Man 4" will be filmed in Laos and the United States, which means that Liu Qingshan's career focus will shift overseas.
Being able to establish a foothold at the beginning of this series is far more worth looking forward to than the actual benefits of "Ip Man 1". After all, this will be an excellent opportunity for Huaguo Capital to try to enter Hollywood.
Therefore, after a brief opening remarks, Han Sanye mentioned this point bluntly: "The importance of this film to us does not need to be repeated, right? How to ensure that the few of us here will never fall behind, and the market performance of the first series It’s very important, I want to hear your opinions first!”
When their status reaches their level, they no longer need a lot of tact and scheming in ordinary business meetings.
