Chapter 137: Wooing a Group (4/5)

""Introduction to Architecture" is a script written by director Lee Yong-joo, a Korean director, and also the director of the Korean version of "Introduction to Architecture", he followed Bong Joon-ho to direct three films, this script has been polished for five years, it is a Sino-Korean co-production, and the first book we made based on a Korean screenwriter..."

"When we make films, the most important thing is the script, and then everything else. ”

The reporter who interviewed Liu Yifei suddenly asked: "What do you think is the most important thing about the movie?"

"Me?"

Liu Yifei is a little embarrassed...

She used to like to express some of her thoughts on Weibo, and the screenwriting teacher of Beiying once praised her: "The little girl has a lot of theories"!

Similar to 'actor acting is the first creative stage of the film, post-editing is the second creative life, dubbing determines the extent of the original vitality, any of these processes are extremely difficult to do well, the audience's emotions are impossible to guess, just like I know that to move the audience must first move yourself, a good movie is the product of a rich heart, not blind data stacking, the movie has its vitality, the movie is impetuous, the audience will be impetuous. ’

It makes sense!

A closer analysis, it's all fart!

What is the foundation of a play? Is this how the movie is created?

Also actor acting is the first stage of creation...

The four elements of drama: story, stage, actors, and audience!

How did it come to the movie that the actor became the first creative stage?

Your husband is a screenwriter!

"Don't ask her, she's just based on her own ideas... Everyone has the right to say what they think..."

You are stepping on a horse, which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, Shen Mengxi glared at the reporter who asked the question, and the latter quickly changed the topic...

Shen Mengxi's strength protects his wife!

......

How important is the film critic, or the chain of reviews, to a film?

In the United States, a mature film market, one of the important responsibilities of film critics is to use their influence to discover new directors, as well as those films that have been buried.

So, when it comes to awards season, it's time for these film critics to show their talents.

Domestic, a little embarrassing...

You can only explain the more popular films, even if there are a large number of new directors at the First Youth Film Festival, the official accounts with special topics are all aimed at the films "The Evil Spirit" and "Heart Labyrinth"...

Why?

Because it's hot!

You explain "Sister Beauty", "Nanpu", "Lack of Oxygen", "Farewell"...

Nobody is watching!

If no one looks at it, you can't monetize it.

Vicious circle...

There are two problems: serious film critics don't have a platform to write some very serious film reviews, and everything is decided by traffic.

Second: Even if you write these movie reviews, you don't have enough influence to drive the box office, it's useless, and it's useless to write it!

Even a mainstream film critic like Zhou Liming, who was born in the media, is also in the context of the development of the Internet, it is difficult to continue to systematically write film reviews, and it is even more difficult for others...

In a sense, it's a good thing!

These film critics are very, they look down on Chinese movies in their hearts!

In the past few years, all kinds of criticism of commercial films, all kinds of propaganda of the sixth generation, some obscure films of Taiwan's New Wave and Japanese Ben, you taste, you taste, this kind of psychology is nothing more than a tacit acquiescence that only Americans are worthy of making commercial blockbusters, and it is the right choice for American commercial films to occupy the Chinese market, which is essentially the capitulation of European and American cultural compradors.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and it is normal for moviegoers to spend money to say what they think.

What is abnormal is that some film critics fan the wind and ignite the ghost, for some self-interest or to show superiority to bring rhythm.

Therefore, after Shen Mengxi bought potatoes, he specially launched the video chat function, which is to encourage these UP masters to occupy the right to speak!

Hiroki Ki Haifeng is the beneficiary!

His 'Sea Breeze Talking Movie' has about 100,000 followers, okay, he's quite satisfied...

This time "Introduction to Architecture" was released, he was ready to rub off on the heat and explain Liu Yifei's movie road, so he turned on the computer, and the system notified: In order to encourage the UP master of the video talk area, it is specially launched...

Anyway, it's to spend money to let you explain Liu Yifei!

The higher the number of clicks, the more generous the reward, the first place will be rewarded with 300,000, the second place will be 100,000, the third place will be 50,000, the fourth ~ tenth place, the reward will be 10,000... 11th~20th place, 5,000...

The top three also have the opportunity to promote on the homepage...

That's right, it's to use Tudou to promote "Introduction to Architecture"!

And the film side spent money - 10 million publicity funds...

This is a good thing, once this order opens up the situation, the follow-up movie promotion may have to come to potatoes!

Invisibly, the status of potatoes has been raised.

Hiroki Haifeng himself is ready to do this topic, and now it is possible to make money, and immediately put more passion into it...

At the same time, Ryosuke, Zhang Kai, and Ji Huifu all participated...

......

Ten o'clock in the evening.

At the airport, Shen Mengxi bid farewell to the crew of "Introduction to Architecture", and by the way, on behalf of the company, he thanked Liang Jiahui and Liu Jialing for their cooperation...

After all, the two of them took over this movie, which is considered a low price.

The crew stayed for 15 days, 1.5 million each.

When the contract was signed, only four roadshows were stipulated, and today, they said that they would accompany "Introduction to Architecture" to run at least eight major ticket positions...

Liu Jialing said with a smile: "We should thank Mr. Shen, I haven't met such a good script for a long time!"

"That's right,This book is really good..."

"We still have a lot of good books, and we will work together in the future..."

The two smiled and nodded, and Liang Jiahui asked him: "I heard that Mr. Shen plans to shoot at least two movies in Hong Kong every year?"

"With this plan, next year's project has been decided, two crime films, I'll ask them to send you the script when I go back, and you can pick one yourself!"

After a pause, he looked at Liu Jialing: "Sister Jialing is the same!"

"Is there a script for me?"

"Of course, when we do the project, we are aimed at actors of different ages, and from the producer's point of view, you are too suitable to play some original wives with a city government. ”

"Haha!" Liu Jialing smiled happily...

As I get older, there are few characters on the market that are suitable for Liu Jialing...

I can only play some mothers.

Shen Mengxi can be regarded as taking the initiative to show goodwill, a group of Hong Kong actors, Liang Jiahui, Ren Dahua, including Wen Zhaolun, must belong to the scope of wooing!

After chatting happily, Liu Yifei came over with a happy face: "How much do you guess the box office?"

"How many?"

"28 million!"

Shen Mengxi took the phone and looked at the real-time box office of Maoyan: "... Yo, that's good!"

Liang Jiahui asked suspiciously: "What does this result represent?"

Shen Mengxi: "Looking at the momentum, breaking 200 million is not a big problem. ”

By the way, he explained: "The schedule is still cold, if it is a hot file, this first-day result, the box office can be at least 300 million." ”

Liang Jiahui was a little surprised: "So, this movie is the highest box office since I started filming?"
