Chu Yue felt that Lin Ling was always elusive, but he understood that Lin Ling had her own career! Lin Ling has been busy with other things these days and is carrying out theater transformation in the mainland!

Last year, in 2010, the mainland finally opened the infrastructure of theaters! It was officially implemented in January this year. Since then, Lin Ling has been preparing for it - she owe Chu Yue, so she can only pay it back in this way!

There are nine theaters in the mainland that are hypothetical. In fact, everyone understands how powerful the so-called nine theaters are! Lin Ling acquired a theater, then made some acquisitions in scattered ways, and spent money to continue to acquire and establish a strong theater. On the other hand, he was investing in the transformation of theaters, and after acquiring Light and Shadow, he merged with Light and Shadow.

Now, the theater renovation plan is still in progress. So far, Light and Shadow has 400 theaters in the mainland. It is really not something that can be done in a short time to transform these theaters into 3,000 screens! But even so, Light and Shadow are one of the best theaters in the mainland!

Lin Ling had a premonition that Chu Yue's drama may be a turning point in his career in the film industry, so she hoped that she could fully implement the theater renovation plan before the release of this drama as soon as possible. To be honest, this is not an easy task. To make a theater that is truly attractive and mall-like, cooperation from all parties is also required.

A series of negotiations and reunion gave her a headache. She couldn't help but think of Zi Yang. If Zi Yang was still by her side, it would undoubtedly be easier to do these things!

Like Lin Ling, after opening up the infrastructure of theaters, the mainland film market immediately showed prosperity! From any perspective, funds from various countries quickly entered the mainland and became a member of the new round of theater transformation boom in the mainland. Among them, Warner was the most threatening to Lin Ling - Warner cooperated with a strong company in the local film market to seize the opportunity, and owned more than 600 theaters in one fell swoop, becoming the largest theater chain!

Unlike Warner's strategy, Lin Ling focuses more on places like county towns and is determined to control theaters and seize markets by surrounding cities in the countryside. In this market, what she sees is a huge potential market with hundreds of millions of urban populations!

The front line holding many companies has been officially reorganized into a first-tier group! As one of the directors and as the first-tier president, Lin Ling persuaded other directors to invest in movies without much effort! If she expected it was good, as long as the theater was successfully integrated, the profits would be surprising. Therefore, the board of directors spent money without hesitation in this regard - Lin Ling had previously advocated intervening in the music industry and had achieved results. At present, the market value of Liyin Group has reached 10 billion US dollars, which has caused most of the initial investment to fall apart in a few years!

After thinking for a long time, Lin Ling finally made a decision to cooperate with Warner! Join forces to defeat other competitors first, and then fight again! Warner welcomed this, even if Lin Ling didn't come up, they were about to come!

With such a foundation, the two companies naturally hit it off. The power of the two companies' strong alliance was extraordinary, and they quickly launched a lingering merger. In less than a month, Warner expanded to 700 theaters. Light and shadow expanded to 500, successfully squeezed out one competitor and became the well-deserved number one boss in mainland theaters!

However, Warner was soon depressed because the strategy of surrounding the city was now effective! The board of directors spent hundreds of millions of dollars. After half a year, the Light and Cinema theaters reached 1,100, with more than 6,000 screens (now there are generally six to eight screens in a theater, and the screen numbers in ordinary towns are more than half less). Warner vomited blood. Although the screen numbers are similar to those in light and shadow, he lost to the expansion of territory!

Afterwards, the depressed Warner realized that his allies had long had their ideas, and immediately spent money to start a new round of acquisitions! Lin Ling did nothing, but just joined hands with other theater companies. Warner suffered a huge loss, and the number of theaters was reduced to 600! In the end, a mainland theater market led by light and shadow was formed!

Of course, these are off-topics. But Lin Ling's series of big moves in theaters undoubtedly play a good example for quickly stabilizing mainland theaters and building a standardized industry system! The mainland is the key to profitability of Hong Kong films, so of course we must mention it!

Chu Yue was in pain and felt that he was suffering! This drama was definitely the most painful experience he had ever experienced. Especially as a director, he had to conceive the shooting of the scene at all times. Seeing that the filming was about to be completed, they also filmed an extremely important part of this drama - after Ran Min died in battle, the Han people under his rule knew that the Hu people were going to take revenge, and hundreds of thousands of people moved to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, due to various factors, their major transfer failed, and hundreds of thousands of people who had been protected by Ran Min were completely massacred by the Hu people!

What does it feel like when hundreds of thousands of people were massacred by the regular army that was chased? As long as Chu Yue conceived this scene, he would hear a terrifying wail and scream like a ghost, just like a deadly howling from hell. The corpses are everywhere and blood is sprinkled. These words are not enough to describe all this. If Chu Yue wants to say it, it is a trembling and a terrifying trembling feeling. No one can wake up from this nightmare!

It is precisely this attitude that caused some subtle changes in the film at the end! Zheng Gongwang first discovered the problem based on his own experience and found him to raise his own doubts: "Director Chu, your attitude seems to have changed a bit in the past few days. It was originally a third-party position, but now you seem to be involved, and you highlight Ran Min's heroic status in the end?"

Chu Yue was stunned and thought about it carefully. He could only admit that he had done something wrong! Because of the influence of these extremely bloody conceptions and the influence of this ending, his thinking changed slightly - if Ran Min had not resisted the progress of the Hu people, the Han people would have been massacred that year. If it weren't for Ran Min, all the hundreds of thousands of Han people under the Han Dynasty would have died! Isn't this a hero? Could it be that in that era, what humanitarianism should be talked about? Faced with massacre, Ran Min had to choose to massacre!

The idea has changed, but that does not mean that his ideas for this drama have changed. Whether Ran Min is a hero or not can still not come up with the answer in the play, but can only reproduce history and let the audience judge for themselves!

Fortunately, Zheng Gongwang reminded me, otherwise this drama might have to be ruined at the end - making movies requires extreme caution. Inconsistent ideas in every link and every way may lead to the final level of the film! Therefore, Chu Yue cannot refuse to admit that although he made a movie "Lost" that has gradually become popular as a classic, he is still a novice. Zheng Gongwang's experience of these predecessors will always be extremely valuable assets!

However, this made Chu Yue depressed. According to the report of the crew members, more than 4,000 shots have been filmed so far in this drama (that is, it is available, without repetition. It can be completely cut together to make an n-length movie)! And Vinson of Biya Special Effects finally officially counted the special effects shot numbers of this drama, reaching 1,900.

Chu Yue was depressed, and Zheng Gongwang was also depressed. A drama actually had more than 6,000 shots, which was unimaginable ten years ago! Six or seven thousand shots, which is equivalent to the total of the shots of six dramas. Zheng Gongwang first remembered something and was surprised: "Director Chu, the "Lost" you filmed has more than 2,000 shots. There are still so many shots in this drama. Usually no director would use so many shots. It's so weird..." Chu Yue and Zheng Gongwang absolutely did not expect it. This sentence actually contains the prototype of the director's style that even Chu Yue himself and the outside world did not notice!

What should I do if there are six or seven thousand shots? Chu Yue was so upset. If I finished filming this drama, there would definitely be seven thousand shots! Oh my God, now he finally knows where the production cost of 100 million on-site shooting has been spent. These seven thousand shots alone are extremely rare numbers - a drama consists of several shots. Most of the shots of a drama are just over one thousand.

Even in Hollywood, it seems that these seven thousand shots are rare. At least Chu Yue has never heard of them! How to deal with them? If you cut the seven thousand shots into more than one thousand shots, Chu Yue will definitely vomit blood, and investors will definitely vomit blood.

"It's better..." Zheng Gongwang's eyes flashed, and Shin Chuyue made a suggestion: "Why would you rather make this drama into two episodes?"

What a suggestion! Chu Yue thought about it. Since "Lost" has nearly 3,000 shots, it would be suitable to make two episodes! However, this faces other problems. It is not necessarily a good thing to divide it into two episodes. At least the promotion fee will definitely skyrocket, and the film company may not be willing to do such a loss-making thing! It is like after "Kill Bill" was filmed, and then divided into two episodes. The film company took a big risk of losing money!

After talking to Light and Shadow, Light and Shadow were very angry. Kevin wasn't playing tricks on me! The production fee was as high as 700 million, and the publicity fee in the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea had to exceed 100 million. Now it is divided into two episodes, so the publicity fee has to be a little bit. Then why should you make a return to the cost? Light and Shadow never thought that this drama could make money, I just hoped that it could make them famous and shocking!

When talking about patting, Guangying lowered his head helplessly. If only one to two thousand shots were left and two thousand were given up on the other five thousand, let alone Chu Yue, they were all inexplicably sad and angry. Spending money was not for you, but for you for filming!

But in the end, I had to nod and agreed. I wasting 5,000 available shots was something that no one could tolerate! If this drama could be sold for a top spot and could be sold for more than 500 million in one episode, then this drama would not have lost much! Of course, Light and Shadow paid 200 million in publicity for this - a drama that originally invested 500 million yuan, was filmed and actually made 900 million Hong Kong dollars!

From September 2011 to January 2012, before the Spring Festival came, all the staff members collectively made a furious effort and finally completed the drama before the festival! For this reason, Chu Yue unceremoniously asked the producer to send 10 million red envelopes. The producer of Light and Shadow was a foreigner, so he refused immediately. Chu Yue was so angry that he rolled his eyes. He still discussed with the senior management of Light and Shadow and decided to give five million to reward the crew members!

"Destroy the Hu" was completed in full swing, which became mainstream news in the media. During this period, I thought "Destroy the Hu" and Chu Yue became the focus of the media, and it was hyped up and down. The strongest big production in the history of the Chinese film industry finally played a handful of the pipa and half-covered the face, and released some stills, which attracted the attention of the media.

"Destroying Hu" was completed. Chu Yue sent several songs he produced during this period to Lin Rui, and specially pointed out the songs that will be the theme song of this drama. Everything is wonderful, it is really wonderful!

Chu Yue won nothing at the 2011 Golden Horse Awards and did not even get a shortlist. Instead, Xie Junrong won the Best Actor Award at Golden Horse Awards with his new drama directed and acted by himself, which made Chu Yue feel dissatisfied. Even if he is very businessful, he cannot be so partial!

However, although Chu Yue didn’t have time to go to the four major music awards at the end of the year, he still won twenty awards. Last year, no one’s record could be comparable to this record. This time, Chu Yue once again completed his personal grand slam, winning the four major awards with the most popular singer, the strongest golden song and the strongest record!

At the IPFI International General Awards Ceremony, Chu Yue still had no time to go. With the 8 million records last year, he successfully won the fifth place in the world's top ten sales. He is the Asian sales champion and the historical sales champion of Chinese records!

After returning, Chu Yue visited Concubine Ning and comforted her. He had been filming in the mainland these days, and he really had no time to come! After that, a dull Spring Festival was over.

As for the problem of being too immersed in the role, when he left the crew, he often went to see a psychologist. By March, the situation basically stabilized. Since then, his acting skills have broken through the bottleneck and reached the level of Liu Qingyun and others, and there is only a lack of practical hardship. During these days, the fan gifts he received filled two or three rooms.

Shortly after the Spring Festival, the Academy Awards announced the nomination list for this year again, and Chu Yue and Xie Junrong were on the list. This time, both of them were still on the list. Chu Yue was shortlisted for the Gaofei drama filmed in ten days last year. Xie Junrong was not shortlisted for the Best Director this year, but was shortlisted for the Best Song!

After the Chinese New Year, Chu Yue couldn't rest at all and went to the United States to supervise the other party to do special effects! This time, he had a lot of fun with Gary and the others!

Now, Chu Yue finally found that he was depressed as a director, and it took a lot of time to make a play! For his sake, Jiasheng had no choice but to bring Lin Rui and Zhao Jinsheng and others to the United States, do recording in Liyin's recording studio, etc.

This album called "Friends with Friends" is September again... Kevin fans can guess that Chu Yue's record is released at this time every year, who wouldn't guess? The first wave of main theme is the song of the same name, but its level is slightly lower than that of the previous album "Eternal". However, the second wave of main theme, the song "Fall Love" he sang with Wang Fei quickly won a consistent reputation.

"Love in the Confidant" sales are not as good as the previous album, with only 73 million sales worldwide, which is 6 million records! Even so, it still won the Asian sales champion for the fourth year!

This year is really a waste of time! Chu Yue sighed. Since May last year, he has spent his time mainly on this "Destroy Hu". It seems that he has never done anything!
Chapter completed!
