Chapter 859: Frost and snow are coming, but the sun is still shining (Congratulations on the end of the article!)
The audience was quite satisfied with this feast, which was a feast for the was little controversy over the award decisions.
Later, according to statistics from the entire network, the maximum number of people online at the same time reached 80 million.
This is only the domestic number, of course, the foreign number can be ignored.
Everything becomes precious only when compared.
The Golden Horse Awards across the river were different. It was so deserted that the venue was not even full.
It can basically be considered as self-entertainment, and it is no longer the same as before.
The heat lasted for a while, but that was all.
The Lunar New Year box office battle is coming soon and the promotion is about to begin.
The four-character prince has been very strong in recent years, but he is indeed the most hardworking among the three little ones.
So far, the box office of "Better Days" has exceeded 15 billion, which gives him confidence.
Nowadays, their popularity is rising. It is a huge difference from when they first debuted as a group. They have surpassed the others and now are ranked first among the group!
Zhou Dongyu also seems to have become the first choice for female lead in major domestic productions, especially those like Scars of Youth.
But this has little to do with Lightyear Pictures.
There are no film release plans this year.
The TV series "Joy of Life 2" also began its official screening on the day the Golden Rooster Awards ended.
It is a fictional subject matter, but it was successfully released.
Unlike the first part, on the day the second part was released, the viewership on both channels exceeded 2 at the same time!
And it’s being released simultaneously across East Asia!
It ranked first among major TV stations in Southeast Asian countries!
'Little Master Fan' strikes again!
In addition, all filming tasks have been stopped, except for non-major investment projects.
"The Wandering Earth 2: Part " is still in preparation and has not officially started filming.
It is almost a comprehensive contraction, except for "Detective Chinatown 3" which has already been completed.
The audience has been demanding it so much that it has been announced that it will be released during the Spring Festival soon!
As for the release? That's basically impossible.
Because at the end of the year, unexpected things happen.
Chen An moved his family to Courtyard No. 7, Diaoyutai, Beijing in advance.
Although a courtyard house is comfortable to live in and people are used to it, it has obvious disadvantages compared to modern luxury houses.
The reason why Chen An and his family moved here was because of COFCO’s property management team.
Xiao Nuanshu stared with eyes wide open, looking at the luxurious mansion with a look of disbelief: "Is this my home?"
"Probably." Chen An said with a smile.
The three little kids, who just realized how rich their family was, looked at their dad with a cheated look on their faces.
Zeng Li smiled and said, "I told you it would be very interesting when they find out."
But it was only a brief moment, and soon the three little guys started to have fun here.
They bought the top floor, which is over a thousand square meters, which is enough for them to live a noisy life.
"When did you buy it? Why haven't I seen you live in it?" Mom looked incredulous and thought Chen An was wasteful.
If you buy it but don't know how to live in it, what a waste to leave it here?
Chen An could only helplessly explain: "This is also an investment for me. The housing prices have been high, so I just want to buy some. If I have too much, I won't be able to live in it."
My father said: "You are just speculating, but times have changed. In the past,
"Okay, okay, you two elders, go check out your rooms first."
Chen An nodded repeatedly and started to have people put down their luggage and officially check in here.
Although he knew it was immoral, he still stocked up on a lot of supplies and brought them in.
Just a few days after moving in, the evening news officially announced that winter had arrived!
The sudden news was a devastating blow to the film and television industry!
Immediately afterwards, cinemas and other major gathering places across the country announced their blockade and closure.
Naturally, the previously highly anticipated Spring Festival film no longer had the chance to be screened.
All major film and television bases have come to a complete halt.
Even schools across the country have announced suspension of classes and holidays, and have switched to online classes.
United as one, united as one!
In this earth-shaking change, the world pattern is also quietly changing.
The similarities between Tik Tok and a certain audio make people see a magical world. The filters cultivated for many years are completely shattered.
It can be called a chaotic dance of demons.
After the Spring Festival.
When they heard the news of suspension of classes, the three little ones were very happy at first, but then when they heard about online classes, they were not so happy anymore.
The three little ones sat in a row, holding their tablet computers.
He lay emasculated on the table, with the same sitting posture and expression, and his eyes were dull.
Xiao Nuanshu's mouth was puffed up, and Chen An wanted to pinch it.
"Detective Chinatown 3" failed to be released, so there will definitely be losses.
But Chen An does not think that the publicity and promotion funds have been wasted. Instead, he continues to promote the film from time to time, without any stages.
And this time he had a good rest.
Apart from online meetings, I have had a good time to relax.
For Weibo and Tik Tok, there is definitely an impact, but it is not as big as the blow to the film and television industry.
You can still work remotely from home, just get a pay raise.
But for the real industry, it will basically cause serious damage at best and disappear into thin air at worst.
Many cinema chains have closed down. The large ones are struggling to hold on, while the small ones can't hold on at all.
You can't just leave a cinema there and forget about it. It needs regular maintenance, and many of them are built with loans when the business is at its peak.
Now it can’t be sustained at all. The previous market was too prosperous, and it kept getting bigger and bigger, but once it stopped, it was gone.
Many small cinema chains, especially those in second-tier and third-tier cities, have begun selling their cinemas.
Chen An sat in the chair in the study, listening to the data report collected by Lightyear Pictures.
"Let's get in touch with them gradually, and then have large-scale contact around May." Chen An knocked on the table.
Facing the company's senior management, I gave a brief explanation.
It is still a loss if we take over now, and the business will probably reopen in the second half of the year.
You can take over a little earlier.
"I understand." The executive on the other side of the tablet said, "But I don't think it should just be a small fight against small theaters."
The meaning is self-evident. Given Lightyear's current situation, there is still room for acquisition by a large cinema chain.
Chen An blinked his eyes slightly, thought for a while and said slowly: "Wait for the opportunity."
With Light Year’s current size, the development of three lines of production, distribution and theaters is sufficient to support it, but it is inevitable that a big tree attracts the wind.
But the fact is, the time is almost up, and seizing the theaters is the next direction for Lightyear to move forward.
And the best opportunity and a wave of growth is right now.
Lightyear Pictures contracted promptly when the cold winter came and did not suffer much loss.
The matter has not been finalized yet, so the call ended.
Chen An sat at his desk and thought for a long time before he spoke: "Sure enough, I have to take this path. I decided from the beginning."
Cinemas will inevitably be the necessary direction for Lightyear Pictures to move forward.
He stood up and looked at the sky outside the window.
The sun is brighter today, shining through the clouds and bringing dawn light to the earth.
Golden and warm, full of hope.
He remembered that the sky was the same when he opened his eyes in his hometown 24 years ago.
In a flash, 24 years have passed.
Chen An suddenly laughed and looked out the window: "It really was a treat."
Suddenly, there was the sound of the doorknob turning at the study door behind me, and then the door was opened.
A little girl with shoulder-length hair came out. Her eyes were bright as if they were twinkling with stars. She squinted slightly. Her delicate and beautiful facial features were childish yet very beautiful. The corner of her mouth was raised, and there was a faint teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.
"Dad, it's time to eat!"
"coming."
Chen An replied with a smile and walked towards the little guy.
Behind him is a sunlit study, and on it is a handwritten script, still in the draft stage.
(ps: The main text is finished, and the rest is a side story.)
