Chapter Eighty-Five: I Want Two Billion for This Lunar New Year!(5/5)
It is said that "1942" is Feng Xiaogang's dream...
According to his own words: After watching Liu Zhenyun's "Reminiscences of 1942" 18 years ago, he wanted to make this movie.
I think movies have two values, one is the value of awareness, and the other is the value of entertainment. "1942" first of all has the value of knowing and understanding our national character, which can be said to be my ambition to make this film. ’
I think the audience will have a new understanding of our nation after watching the movie, this nation has endured so many hardships, it is not easy to get to where it is today, she must have a lot of national advantages, such as tenacious vitality, such as courage in the face of disasters, all this may be. At the same time, why has our nation suffered so many disasters? History keeps repeating itself, what is the problem of this nation? While the audience is blocking their hearts, the movie may give the audience part of the answer. ’
A piece of propaganda full of dad's flavor!
The so-called daddy flavor is the superior person, at least they think they are the superior person!
Occupy the top of the social pyramid and consciously or unconsciously impose your own values and preferences on others.
Self-centered, believing that "I am the truth" and not listening to a different point of view...
Why can Feng Xiaogang say the 'garbage audience' theory?
It's not because he treats the audience as a son.
Feel like the audience needs to be educated!
Lao Chen is the same, his father is too much...
The film "1942", of course, was made seriously - Director Feng worked hard for two years, and he also took time to educate netizens in the middle and was given the number of Shu Baoya...
But to be honest, the story of "1942" is not popular enough, unlike "Tangshan Earthquake", which is known to almost everyone, from eighty-year-old ladies to teenage high school students.
The masses of the people have a very vague concept of famine.
No food, starving to death, easy to eat?
What's all this?
In a sense, "1942" is a series of genre films, challenging the public's aesthetics with individual preferences, and failure is inevitable!
Let's put it this way, even if there is no "Thai Embarrassment", "1942" will collect an extra 100 million at the box office at most.
As for this time and space, Ning Hao's "One Shot to the End", Shen Mengxi's prediction is 800 million!
......
"Let me talk about why I am in favor of charging two more points, the first reason: if the producer can't make money, soon, they will move to other industries, and the creative and content side will not get preferential treatment, which is against the laws of the market, I don't understand what angle the editorial of the "People's Daily" is considered from, why it stands on the side of the theater chain
?”
"The second reason: our film industry is still in its infancy, and if we want to develop, we have to spend money, who will spend money? It must be the producer, do you want the theater chain to spend money?
Instead of staring at each other's split ratios, think about how to win back audiences with better movies. I hope that next time there will be such a controversial situation, those who do not know how to do it can choose to shut up!"
"In addition, "One Shot to the End" will be released tomorrow, and we still take last year's ladder account, through this incident, I have a deep understanding of you - the vertical is not enough to conspire with it!"
Shen Mengxi was very sorry to post a paragraph on Weibo, which can be regarded as the sentence with Qin Hong, 'Life will always be learning.' This incident has made me learn and see you more deeply. 'Complementing each other...
Qin Hong is even better than Huang Zhonglei - the stepped account sharing of "1942": 43%: 57% within 100 million, 45%: 55% for more than 300 million, 47%: 55% for more than 800 million, 47%: 55%...
It's an incremental split!
Qin Hong's "The King's Feast" is divided into decreasing accounts: "43% in the first week, 41% in the second week, 39% in the second week, until the next film...
is completely different, Xingmei directly became a direct opponent with Hua Yi - "The King's Feast" and "1942" were released on the same day!
For a while, the smoke of gunfire was filled.
Then, "One Shot to the End" was released!
......
Beijing, Golden Harvest Cinema Main Store, Shen Mengxi was interviewed by reporters:
"Aren't there bad movies in Hollywood? Yes. Two days ago, I watched "Affiliated Beauty", the director directed "The Devil Wears Prada", the screenwriter wrote "Wall Street Money Never Sleeps", the cast has Will Smith, Helen Miller, Kate Winslet, Edward Norton, the full Oscar lineup, the whole bad movie. Why it's rotten, it's hard to say, the photography and editing scripts are not too bad, and together they are a gorgeous Xiang. But the industry can ensure that the film is within the scope of watching, how can the quality be guaranteed without industry?
”
"Without a complete industry behind the support, it is difficult to control the quality, a good movie can only rely on luck, because you can't guarantee that the people in every link are professional, as long as there is a link of people who fall off the chain, the film is likely to be rotten. ”
"So, I've always emphasized industrialization!"
"What I've been doing is the path of film industrialization..."
""Band-Aid" is also an industrialized product, although the story logic is a little problematic, but the actors perform very well, the photography and lighting are in place, which is also the reason why the movie can successfully return to its original cost and achieve profitability..."
"This is the best time, and in the future... It's difficult, with the expansion of the market, there will never be a matter of forcing the palace cinema line again..."
"Alright, let's ask some other questions!"
Shen Mengxi took the initiative to change the topic, and the reporter did not continue to ask...
It can be seen that he has anger.
"What kind of story is "One Shot" about?"
"Tell me how a bad movie was born..."
"I heard you provided the idea?"
"Yes... Including "Thai Embarrassment", which we will release later, both movies are comedies!"
"Then you predict the box office..."
Shen Mengxi thought about it very seriously, and then said in a calm tone: "This year's Chinese New Year, I am ready to take away the two billion box office!"
The reporter who asked him was taken aback and quickly asked, "Two billion? Are you sure?"
Are you sure you didn't add an extra zero, and say 200 million as 2 billion?
"I never say big things," Shen Mengxi smiled crookedly: "The two movies I said took two billion are just preliminary speculations!"
"You can write this sentence in the report, just say that I Shen Mengxi said: "One Shot to the End" and "Thai Embarrassment" will work together to cut down two billion box office!"
The prophet has finished speaking...
After pretending to be forced, Shen Mengxi went backstage and saw Uncle Ge who was sitting on a rest chair with his eyes closed...
The premiere of "One Shot to the End", Uncle Ge, Huang Bo, Hu Ge, and Zhao Liying, who played Uncle Ge's daughter, all came...
However, everyone can't catch up with Uncle Ge's recognition - at least at this stage.
Uncle Ge habitually did enough psychological construction before coming to power.
If he knew what Shen Mengxi said just now, he probably wouldn't be so nervous...
A certain head is pointing to Shen Mengxi!
Ning Hao walked in and asked Shen Mengxi directly: "... What did you just say?"
