Chapter 1: The Dilemma and Crisis of the Chinese Film Industry (The fourth update is 4,000 words, which greatly adds to the dream of Bingxin!)
The box office of "The Battle of the Great Wall" on the first day was 90 million!
This is a very amazing box office figure, which has completely beaten all the 12 years of Chinese movie premieres.
This is indeed the box office data performance that a real Chinese blockbuster should have.
Feng Cheng was very satisfied with the box office of the premiere.
Though......
Word of mouth is scarce.
The score of "The World Only God Knows" on Tomato Movie Online reached a high score of 9.2, while "The Battle of the Great Wall" fell directly from 9.0 to 8.1 on the first day.
Many netizens gave this movie a minimum score of one point!
Why?
The ass of the movie is crooked.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, the core of the whole movie is really not interesting, the scene is indeed a big scene, it looks dazzling, and at the same time, those monsters look very scary, and some core allusions to China are quoted......
But......
The whole movie is to take the audience for fools.
When the giant beast attacked the city, a group of Chinese fierce men who were proficient in various technologies were attacked by monsters and retreated, and even looked like they were about to lose on the Great Wall.
And then......
All the Chinese macho men opened a plug-in like drugs, and when they could have solved it with archers, they had to rush into the monster pile and the monster hard steel, and then, one person could single out two or three monsters, and even smash the monster's internal organs with one punch......
And then......
The Huaxia Army, which was originally defeated and retreated, suddenly got up, killing the monsters and retreating, and Zhang Dongkun, the archery man who had repeatedly missed, suddenly hit a hundred shots, and he could shoot through a small copper plate three thousand meters away, and then God blocked and killed God, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha......
Such an awesome person, inexplicably, holding a knife and roaring long live Huaxia, long-range into close combat, even slashed with monsters, was bitten to death by monsters, and forcibly rendered a wave of tragedy, setting off the awesomeness of the two Hollywood actors......
In a word......
Under the leadership of the two Hollywood actors, the Chinese soldiers who were defeated and retreated were so awesome that they won the competition directly......
You think that's ironic enough?
No!
This is not ironic enough, what is even more ironic is that the Huaxia Emperor saw that Brother Hei was very awesome, so he married the beautiful princess to Brother Hei, Brother Hei raised his head and smiled, made a very handsome posture, and directly rejected the Huaxia Emperor, and then turned around to leave the princess with affection, and left with a wave of his hand.
"My home, on the other side of the sea...... Goodbye, Huaxia, may you always be rich......"
“......”
After seeing this plot......
Everyone was dizzy!
What do you mean?
There's no need for you to kneel and lick like this!
Next Olympics!
Huaxia netizens exploded!
Sincerely, if it weren't for seeing the director's name, everyone would really think that this was filmed by other countries.
The soldiers of Huaxia are pure waste, and they have to rely on two foreigners to save them, and the two foreigners are like bringing their own BUFF, and they are too awesome to do it.
The emperor knelt and licked two Americans, however, he was rejected by a black brother who was very "forced".
Nima!
What kind of bullshit plot is this?
Shen Lang also felt aggrieved after taking the time to watch "The Battle of the Great Wall" on October 2.
Originally, there was a similar movie in the world, although it was also very good, but it was really not as good as you Feng Cheng!
Your wave really licked the foreign adult!
A good-tempered person like Shen Lang was also speechless.
I thought that Thin Monkey and Feng Cheng were a little emotional, but now it seems that they are ......
Hey!
I really don't blame them!
..........................................
"What kind of special effects is this? What kind of big scene is this, have you seen it? Huaxia movie, have I done it realistically? Have you seen it?"
"This is a bad movie? Look at this acting, this is a bad movie?"
“......”
Feng Cheng saw the scolding, Feng Cheng didn't care at all, but directly on Weibo without saying a word, he sprayed fans for a while.
After fans saw this scene, they blew Feng Cheng's Weibo without saying a word!
"I used to think that Brother Lang was a bad money, but I didn't expect that you were really bad money!"
"What a broken movie!"
"Yes, yes, I don't know about movies, but I want to vomit when I hear about Huamei co-productions now!"
"What's special, two big liars for 12 years, one is obviously a good person, but he has been pretending to be a bad person, disguised as a shit-stirring stick who makes bad movies to gain popularity, and the other, specially, looks like a blockbuster, but he shoots a big bad movie, and his ass is crooked...... Nima!"
"Stupid!"
“......”
In the midst of a burst of scolding, Feng Cheng was so angry that his stomach hurt!
He doesn't think there's anything wrong with "Battle of the Great Wall"!
Kneeling and licking?
He didn't kneel and lick!
We Chinese people have integrity, why can't Brother Hei have integrity? Why don't other people have it?
If we Chinese can save the world, why can't others?
Is there a problem with the movie?
No!
In such a burst of scolding, the box office of "The Battle of the Great Wall" fell directly to 30 million on the second day......
Feng Cheng looked at the rapidly declining box office, and suddenly realized that the situation was indeed bad, so he quickly deleted Weibo, wanting to minimize the loss, asking the public relations team to help, and pressuring comments.
However, he ignores that this is not his problem, but the problem of the film itself.
On the third day, the box office was less than 10 million, and the score on Rotten Tomatoes dropped to more than seven o'clock, which is almost the same as the Chinese version of Shen Lang's first big bad movie "Our Youth".
"This movie went to the European and American markets, it's okay, it's okay. ”
"European and American markets...... Feedback will be available in two days. ”
"It's probably okay to get back to your capital. ”
“......”
Two days later, the European and American markets really gave Feng Cheng feedback.
The box office is too poor, so I drew it in advance......
I don't know the so-called Chinese content, although the two Hollywood actors are in line with the values of Europe and the United States, they ......
What does it mean to always have a mix of cultures?
They don't understand what Chinese culture is, and they can't understand the so-called artistic conception......
Why do you have to read some poems to these monsters before the war?
War Song?
Not really......
There are a flood of bad reviews in Europe and the United States, and they can't understand all of them.
Feng Cheng was completely panicked, the Chinese market did not collapse, the European and American markets directly overturned, and the Southeast Asian market ......
The box office in Southeast Asia is slightly better, but ......
How much box office do you expect over there?
100 million yuan is up to the sky!
And, depending on the situation, in five days, a total of 30 million box office!
Next Olympics!
World premiere, the result premiere was lonely!
In this wave, Feng Cheng completely got rid of it and became a laughing stock in the director's circle......
................................................
October 10th.
"The Battle of the Great Wall" was too bad, with a total global box office of 200 million, and it was finally drawn.
Well, again, the unit is RMB.
Shen Lang is a-stirring stick, and he can still stir up this circle, making this circle speechless for a while, but now look at Feng Cheng......
Now it's.
In fact......
"The Battle of the Great Wall" is really one of the few big-budget films in China this year.
The cost of more than 300 million yuan is fully calculated.
Outcome......
200 million yuan box office.
Blood mom loses money.
Of course......
In a sense......
"The Battle of the Great Wall" is a very meaningful movie.
Why does it make sense?
Because some people in the relevant departments suddenly realized the sense of crisis.
It's all like "The Battle of the Great Wall", so how can you play?
Although Hollywood movies are strong this year, they are basically controlled within a safe range, and only 30 films have been introduced.
But......
Next year will be different!
Then, the contract was signed next year, and next year it will change from the original 30 films to 52, and the original 20 films exported will officially become 30......
From the perspective of cooperation, both sides feel that it is okay and acceptable.
But here's the problem......
Of the 20 exports this year, only one was lucky enough to catch fire, and the rest of the movies were all unsuitable......
On the contrary, it is a Hollywood movie, not only every movie is awesome and makes a lot of money at the box office, but even gives birth to an epoch-making movie like "The Lord of the Rings" that reigns terrorist!
With 52 movies next year, how can the Chinese market resist?
Movies like "The Battle of the Great Wall" to resist?
Go to the exit?
It's a joke!
Moreover, Huaxia movies are really at a very critical moment now.
What is the key moment?
The older generation of directors began to fall behind, and the new generation of directors has not officially grown up!
It's in an embarrassing state of insecurity.
Why do you think Zhang Yijun has always wanted to train Zhao Yu as a successor and take over the baton?
Because he also realizes the crisis! he can't do it, he has to retreat, but at least he has to go to the top of the line, right?
Why is there no one in China who is a newcomer? Aren't there many so-called cutting-edge directors?
Oh, yes!
But the problem is, even if they are talented, they have to survive! They also need experience!
And in this environment of alternating between the new era and the old era, many things are really impetuous, everyone thinks that if they want a movie, they must have traffic artists to help, what do traffic artists need?
Money!
Most of the remuneration is given to the actors, what do you shoot?
..........................................
October 11th.
Shen Lang came to the conference room of the Yanjing Hotel for a meeting.
In the conference room, a large group of directors all sat in the conference room, all of them were discussing the current situation fiercely, and striving for the support and help of relevant departments......
The meeting lasted for a long time, and many people were patting their chests, saying that as long as the resources were in place, they could make blockbusters and do ...... with Hollywood
Even an embarrassing director like Feng Cheng feels that he has learned from the pain and has already figured out how to deal with Hollywood's attack, as long as the resources help and policy are tilted......
Yang Rong looked at these directors, and finally set his eyes on Shen Lang.
Shen Lang has always remained silent, and among these big directors, he seems to have no sense of existence.
"Director Shen, what are your plans for a new movie?"
"Yang Ke...... I just made a movie and I wanted to take a break. Shen Lang raised his head slightly.
As soon as Shen Lang said this, many directors noticed Shen Lang, who was sitting in the corner, wearing a hat and saying nothing.
Everyone was amazed.
Because Shen Lang has been sitting in the back row in the corner, wearing an ordinary suit, everyone still thinks that Shen Lang is a staff member here.
Many people also asked Shen Lang to come over and pour tea......
Moreover, this product really went to pour tea.
However, I didn't expect ......
This turned out to be Shen Lang, a hot cutting-edge director who has now broken 800 million at the box office.
"Okay......"
Yang Rong nodded when he heard this.
He realized that Shen Lang seemed to have something inconvenient to say now.
About an hour later, after everyone had left, Yang Rong and Shen Lang sat face to face.
"Brother Yang......"
"What's wrong?"
"Is it such a meeting, all these directors attended?"
"Well, it's basically like that, what's wrong?"
"I just took a closer look, and among the twenty directors, there are probably only five who can really make movies......
"Oh?"
"What's at the heart of the movie?"
"What do you mean......"
"These people are talking about policies, support, actors, and investment, but few people are really talking about movies......"
"......" Yang Rong was silent.
"Movies are about content! Although salt is good, it must also be added to the dishes, otherwise, it is all table salt, who will eat it? No matter how big your investment and resources are, what's the point of making a bad movie?" Shen Lang looked at Yang Rong and shook his head.
"Hmm...... Do you think they're getting old?"
"It's not that they're old, but they live in the last era, and the directors who can stand out in the last era, many of them have a little foreign ink in their hearts, and they feel that Hollywood is invincible, and they can make more money...... Shen Lang shook his head.
"So, I found you. ”
"However, I am only one person...... An ordinary person, I can't be the one to save the market. Shen Lang shook his head.
"Shen Lang, let's say, what do you want to do? I know, you alone can pull up a team......"
"Brother Yang, you think too highly of me...... I can't really do anything right now. Shen Lang shook his head.
A man who has to face Hollywood......
How can it be?
No matter how awesome Shen Lang is, if you let him do it with Hollywood now, he won't be able to do it!
"Shen Lang, say it! Now it's just you and me, you can say anything. Yang Rong looked at Shen Lang, and he saw Shen Lang squinting his eyes.
"After a week, there will be a small meeting again, at which I personally select about three or four people to come, but this meeting must be kept confidential throughout the whole process, and I don't need your policy support, but I need your policy help and support for the people I have selected...... Of course, I can't promise next year...... Because, I am not God, and many things are so ingrained that it is difficult to change all at once. ”
"You ......" Yang Rong was stunned when he heard this.
He realized that Shen Lang was weaving a big net again.
And then......
Ambitious?
"Brother Yang, the decision is yours...... I'll go back and catch up on my sleep......"
Shen Lang stood up after drinking the tea.
"Shen Lang ......"
"Huh?"
"Your new movie is ......"
"It's 2012, find a way to rub off on a wave of apocalyptic heat......"
"2012 was well filmed, you ......"
"However, there are too many routines, I'm thinking about changing the way and countering the routines to shoot ......"
"Huh?"
