When Lu Hao said he was going to a meeting, he was not refusing to see Fu Yuanying, but because he really had received an emergency meeting notice and had to attend in person.
The invitation calls were all made personally by Wei Changhong, president of the Film Association.
Right now.
Lu Hao was sitting obediently in his seat in the large conference room of the Film Guild, drinking tea boredly.
This meeting is of very high standards.
In the conference room, Wei Changhong sat in the main seat.
Below are the heads of major film companies.
All nine giants are present.
Several of the more powerful second-tier film and television companies are also on the list.
As for those smaller film and television companies, they are not qualified to attend at all.
On Wei Changhong's left, there was a man and a woman, both of whom looked to be in their forties, and they were the protagonists of this meeting.
From the national propaganda department.
The theme of this meeting has already been mentioned by the two big guys.
There are two reasons.
First, because the film and television industry is in a cold winter this year and the market environment is sluggish, the publicity department came to call together major film and television companies to encourage and spur them on.
In fact, it is equivalent to a disguised announcement that the industry earthquake caused by tax evasion has been completely overcome.
Second, it is to convey new instructions.
In view of the recent box office success of a patriotic propaganda film called "Twenty-Two", which has shown the box office potential of similar themes, and the need for publicity, the national propaganda department is preparing to organize a wave of patriotic films.
This requires cooperation from major film companies.
After hearing the topic of the meeting, Lu Hao really received a lot of attention.
After all, the box office miracle of the movie "Twenty-Two" was led by DreamWorks, which made everyone's eyes drop to the ground and also envious and jealous.
When it was reviewed, no one was optimistic about the film.
Who would have thought that a movie like this could sell more than a dozen small targets?
The audience seemed to be possessed and rushed to buy tickets.
In fact, the analysis departments of many film companies have also conducted detailed research on the popularity of this movie.
It can be concluded that the success of this movie cannot be replicated.
There are three reasons.
First, the subject matter and entry point of the film itself are too niche, and there is no place to copy it even if you want to.
Second, the box office success was a coincidence, and the influence of Lu Hao's fans accounted for a large part of it.
Third, there haven’t been similar movies on the market for a long time. It’s okay for audiences to change their tastes occasionally, but they definitely can’t handle it for a long time.
After all, audiences go to the cinema to be entertained, not to be educated.
so.
After hearing the instructions from the publicity bosses, most of the film and television company bosses looked embarrassed.
There is no doubt that this is a hot potato.
It’s not like there haven’t been similar meetings before.
Ten years ago, anti-corruption dramas were all the rage. Seeing the support from higher authorities, many film companies flocked to shoot these dramas. However, after they were finished, most of them failed to pass the review.
Five years ago, anti-Japanese dramas were all the rage and also attracted a lot of capital and companies. They did pass the review, but the drawbacks of concentrated following of trends led to the emergence of many anti-Japanese dramas, which almost ruined this genre.
"Lu Hao, what do you think? DreamWorks is quite experienced in this area. The huge success of the movie 'Twenty-Two' just proves your vision..."
Wei Changhong presided over the meeting and had a clear idea of the direction of the wind and the thoughts of his subordinates.
What hasn't he seen?
"Okay, sit down. You are all seniors. I am just a newcomer. Let's just have a brief chat."
"I believe this genre still has great growth potential, but it requires a good entry point, or a good script. To be fair, a patriotic film script that has both a strong theme and a compelling storyline requires the work of a master screenwriter. My limited talent and experience mean I simply can't write one."
“The success of ‘Twenty-Two’ is only due to my personal feelings. I didn’t expect it to become so popular.”
Lu Hao analyzed it carefully.
The meaning behind the words is very obvious.
Sorry, DreamWorks can't do this job.
Hearing this, the heads of other film and television companies all had different expressions, but they all agreed in their hearts.
In the minds of many people——
Lu Hao is so smart!
This grandson is the kind of guy who won’t do anything unless there is something to gain!
However, what you think is one thing, but what you say is not the same thing.
"Director Lu, you're being a bit too modest. Everyone knows that you're a rare talent in the Chinese film industry, a screenwriter, director, and actor—a true all-rounder. I think DreamWorks has to carry the banner."
Someone started a fire.
Lu Hao took a look at his ID card and it seemed that this was the new CEO of Qilin Pictures.
This company's stock price plummeted by 30% due to a report from its own Weibo post, and many of the company's top executives were arrested.
I was worried that they would retaliate, so I hired bodyguards, but in the end it didn't get to that serious point.
After a period of respite, the senior management was replaced, and several new projects were launched, and the company gradually recovered.
But they obviously will not forget this grudge.
He's up to something bad right now.
"Why didn't the audience like the movies we made this year? Ultimately, it's because we're getting old. We can't help but admit it. We can't grasp the tastes of young people anymore. This is the most frightening thing about the cultural industry. Our company recently signed several new directors, all born in the 1990s, but their creative styles are far from mature and are incomparable to Director Lu's."
