Chapter 495 Old Rascal

The news of "Monster Hunt" box office water injection is more violent than that of breaking 2 billion, and People's Daily and other media have fired at Monster Hunt again since they criticized "Little Times" by name.

The People's Daily issued an article saying: From the screening time, number of shows, number of people, box office and other conditions announced by "Monster Hunt", we will have some amazing discoveries:

First, the degree of fever of Chinese audiences for movies has reached the point where they do not sleep late at night and are willing to stand to watch movies.

The second is that "Monster Hunt" really has superb time extension witchcraft, which can stretch the time from 10 minutes to 118 minutes, so as to finish the film.

The third is that the producer and the cinema are both masters of playing digital magic, and they can play all kinds of statistics at will.

The three main points of falsification are all mentioned, which is also visible evidence to the naked eye.

Even if theaters, theaters, and filmmakers all came forward to clarify, saying that it was because of procedural errors that caused this phenomenon, no one believed it at all.

For the media, naturally they will not let go of this opportunity, and almost one-sided criticism of "Monster Hunt".

Of course, the exception is the media in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is invested by a company under Jiangsu and Zhejiang Film and Television Group.

Viewers on the Internet have also begun to question the authenticity of the box office of "Monster Hunt", in fact, as long as the reputation of the movie can be worthy of the box office, it will not be like this, although the box office is high, but the word of mouth can only be said to be okay.

Moreover, in the face of the filmmaker's continuous explanations, talented netizens also began to ridicule.

""Monster Hunt" was indeed full, and I waited in line with dozens of friends for three hours and sat in the aisle to watch it!"

"My friend and I were crowded in the movie theater, that guy, the trees, the walls were full of people, full of stuffed, and the aisles, we had more than 1,000 aisle tickets here, and after the end of the show, an average of one theater swept a truck of shoes just squeezed out.

Not to mention, I haven't been out of Wanda yet, there are too many people, I can't squeeze out, I heard that the leaves are green, but I don't regret it, I can see this kind of movie, it's really worth cherishing with your life. ”

"My "Monster Hunt" ticket station ticket squatting ticket party tickets are all sold out, and more than 1,300 people at the door are so anxious that they cry, and finally have to arrange them to hang on the wall to watch. ”

......

One by one, they all became jokers, the more they talked, the more exaggerated they became, and the more they watched, the more they wanted to laugh.

From the second two billion, and hopefully surpassing "Fast and Furious 7", the phenomenal movie that won this year's box office champion, suddenly seems to have become a joke.

Immediately afterwards, CCTV also reported on the box office, and the general manager of the New Film Association Cinema Line was interviewed and talked about the fact that you can buy 100 million box office with only 8 million.

Cinema professionals stood up, and CCTV also reported it, which is almost a real hammer.

After some turmoil, the box office trend of "Monster Hunt" stabilized a little, and finally ended with less than 2.3 billion.

The vigorous summer file, two billion-level movies, and two billion-level films, ended with such an ending.

The summer box office champion money was transferred, and in the end, his reputation was a little flawed.

However, who cares, investors have been celebrating for a long time.

......

Such a summer file with a box office explosion has stimulated the industry quite a lot, film and television stocks have risen sharply, and listed companies are sitting in the sky and losing money.

What's more, whether it is "Monster Hunt" or "Pancake Man", they are both "new" films, with cutting-edge directors, new actors, and new genres, which also allow other industries to see a broader prospect for Le.

And "The Return of the Great Sage", which has a box office of nearly one billion, has also made some voices of the revival of Guoman on the Internet, and many companies are considering investing in animated films, after all, this does not require high remuneration for big-name directors and actors.

For the future film industry, the summer file is not perfect, but it can be regarded as a great success, after all, as the first part of the series, the box office is close to two billion, and the only fly in the ointment is that it did not win the summer box office champion.

It is absolutely positive for the company's listing prospects.

There are no heavyweight movies in the next National Day files, all of which are concentrated in the Lunar New Year files, Li Qian dealt with the company's restructuring and began to devote himself to the creation of the script.

Slow work and meticulous work, there are no films that can be used for reference, everything has to be done by yourself, Li Qian found that it is really not so easy to do.

It took a month and a half for Li Qian to refine the first version of the script, which is about 110 minutes long, and the actual film may have to be cut for 20 minutes.

The main thing is to change the place where the rhythm is more delayed, this kind of drama is not as good as a special effects blockbuster, even if the plot is a little dragged, there are special effects pictures to watch.

However, if the feature film drags the rhythm a little, although the audience can't say anything, the viewing effect will be very obvious.

Many movies will have a director's cut version, and many fans like to find an extended version to watch, but there is no need.

As professional directors and editors, they can not want the clips, unless they are force majeure, such as the clips of photoelectric harmony, in fact, there is nothing and does not affect anything.

Sometimes professional fans watch the director's extended version, and occasionally have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, but it is not important to the whole.

The main thing is that the mentality of watching the extended version is different from the first time I watched it, and I watched it with a refined mentality, rather than simply watching a movie.

If you watch the extended version for the first time, it is estimated that you will feel bored at a certain time.

It's a bad thing to have too many details.

After refining the script, Li Qian deleted some deliberate things in several key points of the relationship and emotional transformation between the family.

The key nodes of many movies seem to be like the director pressing your head to let you watch and explain to you in your ears, which is redundant and verbose.

Secondly, in terms of supporting roles, in addition to the protagonist's family, the movie also arranged the appearance of other people on the plane, but the frequency and frequency were also deleted.

For example, the actor who wants to find a job again, disappears for five years and is out of touch with society, and after repeatedly hitting a wall, he stands on the road blankly.

There happened to be a person singing on the street not far away, the actor knew him, that was one of the passengers of the plane, before the accident was the lead singer of a somewhat famous band, but now the band has a new lead singer, his connections five years ago have disappeared, and he can only sing on the street temporarily in order to live.

The reason why he is not a star, just a small band lead singer, is because of reasonableness, after all, even if he is a little star, even if he is out of breath, but he suddenly comes back from the dead, it is also big news, and it is popular enough for a while.

Generally speaking, the rationality pursued by movies is much more rigorous than that of TV dramas, and the more unreasonable things in a 90-minute movie, the more dramatic it is.

In just a few days, the lead singer of a band who is somewhat famous in the local area has lost everything, and even the brothers of the original band no longer accept him, but he can still optimistically sing with a guitar on the street, and there is no trace of complaint in his voice, but full of yearning for tomorrow.

As for what song to sing, Li Qian hasn't thought about it yet, and he doesn't know much about music.

This supporting role is a role that makes the actor who can't find a job and is depressed a little excited.

It is also very common for a supporting role in a movie to take on this kind of role, but not too much, it is too deliberate to have such a supporting role popping up every once in a while.

When revising the script, Li Qian deleted two such characters.

is too much, pretending to be smart, many directors and screenwriters will make mistakes, as if they are afraid that the audience will not understand, and they are complacent, as if they feel how exquisite their arrangements are.

Treating the audience as stupid will not end well.

The script of "Flight of Destiny" is completed, but it is only a script, and the next thing is to write a storyboard script, and then about a tenth of the more critical scenes, and to draw a storyboard.

Halfway through September, it is just in time to face the next National Day file.

There are no important films in the National Day file, mainly to arrange the future movie APP.

In the past summer file, seven or eight ticket-buying platforms burned a total of 500 million, and this hot summer file also has their credit, 500 million tickets are made up, and a large number of low-cost tickets directly stimulated the audience's consumption enthusiasm.

This is only posted by the platform itself, and several film distributors have also invested a lot of ticket compensation.

It's just fighting for financial resources, financing if there is no money, and the future movie APP is spun off separately, and it has been financed in round A to raise funds to face the next New Year and Spring Festival files.

There is not much technical content, mainly according to the publicity and feedback before the release of several popular movies, the absolute number of tickets invested in each movie, the money cannot be burned in vain, and the burn must be burned to the blade.

There are also various lottery, sign-in, evaluation, and forwarding activities, just learn from others in this regard, and transplant which company's system is good.

As a result, several platforms are similar, but the names are different, only Grava seems a little out of place, and they are still insisting on improving the user experience, but it is estimated that they will not be able to hold on.

Life is so boring, writing storyboards, busy with company affairs, and all kinds of meetings and activities to deal with.

On the evening of the 19th, Li Qian also came to Jilin City to participate in the new year's Golden Rooster Award.

As a member of the Film Association, "Rejuvenation", a non-entertainment film with a more profound meaning, is still the main theme, and it is definitely going to win awards, so it's not good not to come.

What's more, the company has other movie nominations, so I took the time to visit.

This year's Golden Rooster Award was held in Jilin City, Jilin Province, to be honest, if it was the Golden Rooster Award, Li Qian didn't know that there was a Jilin City, after all, the same name of the province and city is still very rare, and it seems to be such an example in China.

When I arrived at the National Fitness Center, the scene was already very lively, and the people of Northeast China have always been very hospitable.

There are a lot of big-name actors and directors who came this time, Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang from the mainland came, Zhang Yimou was nominated, and Ma Xiaogang was nominated for the actress by his wife.

Liu Dehua, who was nominated for the best actor for "Lost Orphans", is probably the most popular, and the momentum of those young female fans of Wu Yifan of the crew of "There is a Place Only We Know" can barely keep up.

Young people are full of energy, like other people who are more popular, Zhao Wei's appearance is not as good as Wu Yifan's, after all, her fans are not young.

Walking through the red carpet and entering the interview area, the reporters were not concerned about whether they would win the award or not, but about the news of the new film.

Li Qian still didn't know anything.

After entering, I sat down, and the crew of "Return" happened to be on the left, and Zhang Yimou also came.

"Director Zhang, you are also free, is the filming of "The Great Wall" finished?" Li Qian said hello with a smile.

Zhang Yimou, who was pondering something, also smiled when he heard this, and seemed to be looking forward to his new film with an investment of one billion.

"It's coming soon, it will be over in a few days, but it's mainly in the late stage. ”

"Blockbusters, there must be trouble in the later stage, there is something I don't know if I should ask?" Li Qian said again.

"Director Li, please say. Zhang Yimou was stunned and smiled.

"Strictly speaking, this is actually a Hollywood movie, I don't know if Director Zhang has the right to edit. ”

There is nothing taboo, this kind of thing is not easy for ordinary directors to ask, but from the field of directors alone, Li Qian and Zhang Yimou are at the same level, and they can be said directly.

Zhang Yimou didn't feel unhappy, just sighed, shook his head and said, "Not exactly." ”

Li Qian nodded, understood.

Although the question is about editing rights, in Hollywood, in fact, correspondingly, directors who do not have editing rights do not have much rights on the set, at least not to say the same.

In other words, how to shoot and how to cut, Zhang Yimou can't completely decide.

The finished film of "The Great Wall" is so bad, it makes sense, Li Qian really doesn't want to believe that this film is from the hands of Zhang Yimou, a master.

was chatting, and the crew of "Foreign Girls to My House" next door also came.

Xu Wan won the nomination for the actress, the actor Chen Jianbing won the nomination for the actor with "A Spoon", and Ma Xiaogang also accompanied his wife and wife, and he was qualified to be arranged in the front row.

Ma Xiaogang saw Li Qian and Zhang Yimou chatting happily from a distance, and couldn't help but say loudly, "Yo, the two of you chatted very well, what's the good thing?"

"Ma Dao is here. Zhang Yimou greeted him and didn't say anything, Ma Xiaogang sprayed him in his early years, and the two sides didn't have much friendship.

Li Qian turned his head and smiled, "Director Ma has been very busy recently, and he also personally participated in a film about an old hooligan, with your acting skills and appearance, it is just right, maybe you can go back to the stage to receive an actor trophy the year after tomorrow." ”

Ma Xiaogang's tone was stagnant, he didn't expect Li Qian to rush so much, the anger on his face gradually rose, and he calmed down again, and responded with a little mockery, "Director Li has no knowledge of this, that's called Lao Cannon, the number one person in the 49 City Platoon back then, you go to the capital to inquire, and everyone in old Beijing knows it." ”

Li Qian suddenly said, "Then it's no wonder, I, a foreigner, really don't know that the old hooligans in the capital are called Lao Pao'er." ”

"Director Li is a hooligan with an open mouth and a hooligan with a closed mouth, but it is insulting. Ma Xiaogang sneered.

"That's right, they are all civilized people, it's still inappropriate to point at others and scold others, Director Ma pointed to the reporter and said that he drafted the uncle, but now he has become a civilized person. Li Qian said with a smile.

“.....”

The past was dug up, and the anger on Ma Xiaogang's face couldn't be suppressed, he snorted coldly, and stopped paying attention to Li Qian.
