Chapter 486: No Licking in Vain!
Qi Hongxiang is ambitious and wants to build a film empire.
However, the current popularity belongs to "Princess Holiday". In the streets and alleys, posters of Qi Qingxi were hung. The electronic screen at the intersection, the small video of the elevator, every two minutes, will play the advertising film of the movie.
Under such momentum, the film's results are getting better and better.
In ten days, the total box office broke 1.5 billion. If nothing else, before the movie is drawn, there must be 2.5 billion data.
You know, this is a pure romance movie. There are no big scenes, big special effects, and it actually attracts many audiences into the cinema.
Could it be that the audience's tastes have changed again?
A bunch of film critics were tangled, and they felt that their faces were swollen. Many people hurriedly and quietly deleted the movie reviews they had posted before.
There are also people who want to maintain an arrogant and cold character design, and continue to criticize the movie for being unnutritious, which is a mediocre work, but there are many garbage audiences......
Of course, these people are also smart enough to close the comments. Otherwise, the surging audience will definitely squirt them to shutting up.
has been disturbed, but it can't stop the movie's rapid progress.
In recent years, traditional film critics have become more and more unpopular. Mainly because their aesthetic taste has been detached from the mainstream public.
Some people are stubborn and don't feel that there is anything wrong with them.
Of course, there are also people who adapt to the situation and find a way out for themselves. So seeing that "Princess Holiday" is so popular, some film critics who want to eat just right can't sit still and have changed their positions.
"Angels are on earth!"
"Pure classic romance, eternal because it is short!"
"If your dreams can't come true, please hide your memories!"
“......”
The touted articles were freshly released, and they were immediately reposted and commented by many people, and the number of clicks continued to rise.
Seeing the hot traffic, some film critics smiled with relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't licked in vain!
As for the "slander" and "swearing" of their peers, accusing them of being "traitors" and undisciplined two-five boys.
Moral?
What is that.
Do you deserve to eat?
The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, they are all mixed in this business, who doesn't know who?
In this industry, there are naturally film critics who really love movies and do their best for the development of the film industry, but most of them are just for food, which is equivalent to a profession.
Don't mention anything.
The purpose of film and television companies and directors to make movies is to please the audience, make the audience willing, and make money from their pockets to buy tickets.
Film and television companies can do it, why can't film critics do this?
There is no shame in pleasing the audience.
So many people on the Internet were surprised to see how much energy a group of film critics burst out after throwing away the festival exercises, which is simply a wonderful pen.
Ordinary people watch movies, they just watch them, they think they look good, and they can't say why they look good. But film critics, from the idea of the film, to the language of the shot, to the color, composition, including the soundtrack, can tell the flowers.
Even the act of cutting her hair can be analyzed, the princess's thoughts and the director's meaning are full of connotation......
Many viewers watched the movie reviews and felt that they had watched a fake movie.
Then it was decided...... Two brushes!
......
Northwest, desolate Gobi, huge studios.
The huge crew is busy. Zhou Mu sat next to the monitor and studied the painting he had just taken with Yu Nian.
Cui Ji came over, not only to start, but also to learn. After a moment, Yu Nian nodded, "It's okay, prepare for the next one." ”
The assistant director next to him immediately raised the small horn to urge and command.
In all directions, the crew and staff poured in.
Change scenes, move props, re-set the scenery.
The process is boring and tedious, and it takes at least half an hour to complete. A group of actors took the opportunity to rest, drink water and eat snacks, replenish their physical strength, and chat about gossip by the way.
""Princess Holiday", there are 1.6 billion. ”
An actress's eyes were full of envy and yearning, "Teacher Qi is now popular all over the sky, and there is news about her everywhere." ”
"Who's to say it isn't. ”
Someone next to him answered, "It's not just domestic fire, it's also foreign fire." It is said that the movie was released in other countries in the West End and did well at the box office. Some experts predict that the total box office of the film at home and abroad is also expected to exceed 7 billion ......"
"Not really. ”
Someone was dumbfounded, "This money...... It's worthless, isn't it?"
Who says it isn't!
Others thought so.
It's 7 billion, 8 billion at every turn.
It feels like this money is like dark paper, there is no limit to inflation.
“...... unimaginable. ”
A person sighed with emotion, "If someone told me before that a pure romance film would have such results at the box office, I wouldn't believe it." ”
"Hmm. ”
A group of people nodded in unison.
If romance films, so profitable.
Why do you bother to make any blockbusters, what heavy industry movies? Swarming to make love movies, talking about love every day, not tired and not hard, isn't it fragrant?
"Ahem!"
An old actor in his fifties and sixties, holding a teapot, took a sip of tea, and then said leisurely: "You guys, how rare and weird...... In the early years, the most popular movies were basically romance films. It's just that the prices of those days were not comparable to modern times, so it seems that the box office is only a few million or tens of millions, which is very pitiful. ”
"But if you look through it, you can know the box office records of that year. These millions of box office are the box office champions of that era. ”
"Oh, of course, that was many years ago. ”
The old drama is nostalgic, "mainly some war movies and action movies, with big scenes and better looks, squeezing the living space of romance films." Immediately afterwards, it was "Galaxy Giant Ship" directed by Luo Tianmu, which opened the prelude to the special effects blockbuster. ”
"From that time on, romance films gradually declined. ”
The old drama bone said indifferently: "Now that it is popular again, it is nothing more than a retro trend, which will probably last for a while, and it is destined to be silent again." ”
"Huh?"
The others were stunned.
It was a long time before someone whispered, "Why?"
“...... Look, "Princess Holiday" is on fire, and there must be countless film and television companies that have moved to follow suit. So after a month, there will definitely be a large number of romance films on the market. ”
The old drama bone sneered, "Maybe there are excellent works in these films, but most of them must be bad movies." ”
"If you are an audience and you find that seven or eight out of ten romance films in the cinema are too bad to watch, will you still choose this type of film to watch?"
The old drama bone said helplessly: "Bad money drives out good money." ”
"Uh!!"
The others thought about it and thought so.
"Not to mention ......"
The old drama bone turned his eyes and said meaningfully: "Do you really think that the theme of romance movies became popular under the retro trend?"
"Huh?"
A group of people were stunned before they immediately reacted.
The old drama bone had complicated eyes, and said softly: "Don't you think it's strange? The film and television companies in the industry are so rich, why do they have to hold on to a few directors, why don't you spend more money and train some powerful directors?"
Hearing this, a group of actors were thoughtful.
The old drama bone said directly: "Although in this era, everyone can be a director, even if it is a pure layman, as long as there are enough resources, it is not difficult to be a director, and even the movies directed by these layman directors are box office hits, which is not unusual." ”
"It's just that you think such a director ......"
The old drama bone looked around left and right, "There are a few more people who recognize their directing ability." And how many people feel that the money they make from the movies they make comes from their own professionalism?"
“......”
There was silence and no one spoke.
The old drama bones understand, because telling the truth will offend people. But he is not afraid, he is getting old and is about to retire, who else will "block" him?
So he said freely, "I have no objection to the transformation of a layman into a director." After all, many excellent directors are halfway monks, and they still make good movies. ”
"What I'm against is just those bastards who obviously don't have the ability and have to be cheeky and have the title of director...... Hey, I accidentally pulled it away. ”
The old drama bone smiled and laughed at himself: "When people are old, they like to preach." I'm sorry, but everyone understands. What I mean by this is that everyone can be a director, but not everyone can be a good director. ”
"Especially a director like Director Zhou Mu......"
His face was full of admiration, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, we are a group of old guys, and we have communicated in private, discussing the styles of various directors in the industry, from commercial film directors to literary film directors, and analyzed them." ”
In the end, I found that Director Zhou Mu's style is the most changeable. ”
He sighed: "Taking several movies directed by Director Zhou Mu as examples, from the very beginning of youth films, to black humor films, as well as pure comedy films, as well as science fiction films, and then to romance films, he can control different categories." ”
"The point is, the style is very skillful. ”
The old actor sighed again, he glanced at the quail-like actor next to him, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You guys have little experience, so you may not understand what I mean." In fact, many directors, when directing a movie for the first time, always unconsciously make some mistakes. ”
"But Director Zhou Mu didn't ......"
He said seriously: "Movies are funny when they should be funny, humorous when they should be humorous, and when they should be sunny, they will never make a few dark clouds." The most terrifying thing is that the plot of his movies always has flashes that touch people's hearts and hit the audience's lifeline. ”
"When he was making a movie, it was more like he had seen a finished film, every scene, every scene, was imprinted in his mind, and he rarely shot long and redundant shots. ”
"Such a talent, too powerful. ”
The old drama bone said sincerely: "People are really different. Perhaps, only such a talent is qualified to become a great director. Therefore, the popularity of "Princess Holiday" is not due to the subject matter, but the credit of director Zhou Mu. ”
He said categorically, "I dare to say that this movie, if it is made by another person, it may not be as popular as it is now." ”
"Hmm!"
A group of actors nodded unconsciously, and then secretly glanced to the side.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for the compliment. ”
Zhou Mu's voice came, and he stood next to him, not knowing how much he listened.
Anyway, his expression was the same, so people couldn't see the clues, "Are you free now? I want to play against you!"
“...... All right. ”
The old drama bone happily got up and left with Zhou Mu.
