Chapter 859: Outpost Warm-up
People who realize it in hindsight are likely to regard this year as the beginning of the mainland entertainment industry.
In addition to the Golden Broom, the Four Little Flowers, and the Military Flag Gate, even the Chinese New Year files of the only seedlings over the years have also appeared in two films competing for glory. Entering December, the publicity of "Big Names" and "October Siege" was overwhelming.
The former focuses on Geyou and tradition, and with this name, it will attract a large number of audiences.
The latter focuses on star casts and action movies, and has the momentum of blockbusters.
Xu Fei discussed with his left hand and his right hand, and decided to let "Big Names" come first, leaving 14 days of box office space. Do you dare to think about it in the future?
Of course, the current viewing base can't hold up.
Saturday, December 15th.
China Film Times Studios, Feng Pants, Ge You, Guan Zhilin, and Donald Sutherland attended the premiere. Donald did not sign this article with Colombia, so Xu Fei added it.
You're the lead actor, why don't you come to the premiere?
Talk about conditions, you can talk, you have to do it after talking, don't do it, don't play big cards.
The foreigner's professional ethics are not bad, and he enthusiastically praised the film, which made the audience stunned. Ouch, it's really a bit international!
When the film started, Feng Pants was very nervous sitting in the chair.
"Big Shot" is not a popular Chinese New Year film, black humor is still niche, some people can't understand it, some people understand it but have no interest.
Or to put it another way, the deeper a work makes people think, the less popular it becomes.
At the beginning of the movie, it was Guan Zhilin who hired Ge You to shoot a documentary for the big director. Guan Damei has a lot of fans in the mainland, and it is very novel to see her speak Mandarin seriously.
Then turned to the filming site, where a group of ministers knelt there.
"Hey, that's me! That's me!"
Wang Baoqiang, who ruthlessly bought a ticket and came to see his work, was very excited, and kept telling the people next to him that this was the biggest blockbuster he had ever participated in.
"You can see so far, I can see so far, Taylor can see so far, Buddha can see infinitely!"
"This is the difference in the realm, your realm is the lowest, and the idiom is called rat eyes. This idiom is considered to be given to you for free. ”
"I'll give you a free English sentence too, Go to hell!
Ge You took four stones and placed them on the steps according to their heights, teaching Guan Zhilin what "realm" is.
The audience was very calm, not happy, and didn't feel bored, just watching the plot. There are a lot of such discussions in "Big Names", one is that the first half is relatively flat, and the other is that Ge You is not distinctive.
He plays the most outstanding little character, kind and a little cheap, like a neighbor's big brother. Either it's Uncle Li, who is cunning and has his own jokes.
For the sake of the overall style, the film abandons personal characteristics, which can be regarded as gains and losses.
The performance lasted for almost half an hour, starting from the planning of the funeral, and the jokes were suddenly dense, and I thought it was super funny. Following "Nobody", flash appeared in the movie again.
The funeral will begin with the opera "Turandot" directed by the famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou. ”
Next, the famous comedian Feng Gong Niuqun said a cross talk eulogy...... It's time to stir up some emotion, with our famous rock singer Zang Tianshuo singing "Friends". ”
The picture changes, and the music flashes extremely roughly.
Zang Tianshuo, who was very abstract, played the piano and said hoarsely: "Friend, friend, have you ever thought of me!"
Ouch!
Teacher Xu sighed, this is a black boss, and it is terrible to bring more than 100 people to fight!
"This unit, which we call Taylor's new life, reincarnates him as a child. ”
As a result, he became a yellow child, Guan Zhilin didn't like it, and insisted on being a white person.
During the dispute, Ge You said: "Where it should be needed, it will become a person." African cinema is in its infancy, and I think he should become a black ......"
"Hah!"
There is probably only Xu Fei laughing in the audience, and everyone still doesn't understand "political correctness", which is why "Big Names" is ahead of its time.
After that, the sponsorship officially began.
Film and television industry predators Mr. Zhang, Somao, Ridiculous Coke, Mourning Bird, and 666 appeared like a marquee.
"Tobacco advertisements cannot be listed, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau may not approve them. ”
"Then add a line: smoking is strictly prohibited at funerals, even 666 is no exception!"
The audience finally reacted, oh, what a black humor!
Immediately after, Biaozi of Beijing Film Studio appeared.
The tears fell, and the liver and intestines were broken: "We Chinese actors have already collectively supplemented calcium, but we are one step away, and I didn't have time to supplement calcium for your American literary and artistic circles, and you died because of calcium deficiency!!"
"Hahahaha!"
The atmosphere is hot, and there is a bit of a New Year's comedy posture.
The 109-minute movie ends quickly and ends in the flirtation between Uncle Ge and Guan Meiren.
"Whoa" applause rang out, the main creator communicated, and the audience affirmed and felt that there was something missing.
............
"There is less groundedness, less human touch, and less Ge You who are used to seeing.
The lack of intimacy does not affect the quality of the film itself, but for some audiences, it may not be very comfortable. ”
"Big Shot" carries a lot of social content, which seems absurd, but in fact, it is only a wall away from us. ”
"Comedy is difficult, and making satirical comedy in the same way as a drama makes comedy more colatable, and makes satire sharper. ”
"The Big Names may be a good choice to watch in a few years. ”
The media has a more pertinent evaluation, and the box office is also very cooperative.
In the first two days, it collected 23 million, and at the end of the second week, the box office rose to 69 million, and the film schedule began to decrease, and there was not much potential.
"Big Names" is expected to be 75 million in the end, and the Lunar New Year file is unfavorable. ”
"Is this internationalization necessary?"
"The audience still loves to watch blockbusters!"
"Long anticipation of "October Siege"!"
Other companies can have 75 million to be euthanized, but it is a failure to put it here in Mr. Xu, and it is also a loss that "Big Names" is not in the five-year plan.
"Ashamed! ashamed!"
Feng pants were under a lot of pressure, and he came to Xu Fei: "I'm sorry for you, I didn't get back to my roots." ”
"It doesn't matter, Colombia takes the lion's share, and I make money by selling their overseas copyrights. ”
"Then do you think the overseas market can be good?"
"It's none of our business!"
Tut!
Feng Pants scratched his head and was very remorseful: "At the beginning, I was also hot-hearted, so I focused on the overseas market." Now it seems that I still have a good foundation in China. ”
He inexplicably surged with fighting spirit.
Xu Fei thought in his mind, what is the next drama of this product?
Oh, "Cell Phone".
"Mobile Phone" can be filmed, but don't make fun of Xiao Cui, there is still an 800 million little fat man in it......
............
The box office of a movie is high or low, and the capital loses or earns, only you know.
What is shown by the outside world is all false.
"Big Wrist" is a loss in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, Colombia has lost, and Mr. Xu has made a little profit.
He can't always pick up wool, "Kung Fu" is ready to continue to cooperate, this will definitely be earned - it's just that the contract has to be signed, and Hollywood is more ruthless than anyone else when it cheats people.
At the end of the year in the blink of an eye, the warm-up of "Big Names" was completed, and "October Siege" was launched.
