Chapter 689

The actors of "The Matrix" are basically arranged, and at the same time, the filming of "Get Out, Tumor" is also very smooth.

Not only that, "Detective Chinatown" is secretly filmed in Thailand in the middle of the year.

This year, all three films of Xinghuo Film and Television have been put on the agenda.

According to the box office trend of "Dear", it is almost over.

In April, a wave of similar movies will be released immediately, so the box office of "Dear" is also about the same.

A week later, "Darling" finally broke through the 2 billion mark at the box office 25 days after its release.

Released on March 15th, the box office on the first day once again set a new record for literary films, and today on April 5th, the box office of "Dear" broke 2 billion under everyone's eyes.

Even if the industry has predicted 2 billion for "Dear" before, it is no problem, but when it really reaches 2 billion, I have to say that it is still amazing.

"The box office of "Dear" exceeded 2 billion in 25 days after its release, becoming the highest-grossing literary film in history!"

""Dear" has a good reputation and box office, and it also breaks the record of literary films. ”

"Dear" has not only brought a heated discussion among the people, but also a social phenomenon, and the theme of abduction has once again brought orphaned families to everyone's attention. ”

""Darling" is a film that shows the theme of abduction in a warm and sadistic way, and at the same time does not say too much darkness, which may also be a kind of protection. ”

"2 billion, the box office of "Dear" broke 2 billion within 25 days of its release, setting a new record. ”

......

A lot of the media reports almost full-page.

After all, "Truman's World" shocked the industry, but it didn't take long for "Dear" to attack again, which really made many people cry out that the spring of literary films is coming.

Many people think about the concept dispute between Lin Chen and Wu Bing at the beginning.

Isn't this the proof of the red fruit?

Literary films can also take off.

Literary films can also break 1 billion at the box office and break 2 billion.

The market is like this, let's not say anything about the halo of the protagonist, let's not say anything because of the light of the schedule, let alone say that it is not at the right time or that it is their own time, place, and people.

This argument is of little use.

The box office is the box office, and the box office is high.

Although there are some movies that are not high at the box office, they are indeed classics, and this is also an indisputable fact.

But there is only one reason why most movies are not high at the box office, and that is rotten.

Or because the director is too egoistic, he only cares about making himself happy, only cares about all kinds of metaphors, or he only believes that he is awesome, and the box office is not high, which means that the audience's appreciation level is not enough.

Think about it, Director Jiang's "Let the Bullets Fly" was born, it was really fame and fortune, countless touted articles, countless analyses are simply swiping the screen, and the key movie is really awesome.

The acting skills of Fa Ge and Uncle Ge are also superb.

In such a situation, Director Jiang's shouting of 'I just want to stand and earn money' was felt by many people to be very temperamental and connotative.

But what about then?

Later, "The Ballad of One Step" and "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" really made people not know how to evaluate it, especially "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice", which was a big disappointment, but the critics of this movie did not blow it.

In short, to use a common saying, it is 'word-of-mouth polarization'.

But it's still an old saying, the audience will vote with money, and whether your movie looks good or not at the box office can be shown.

Although the 'box office theory' is not correct, in many cases, this is really the first place.

For this reason, many literary film directors are also reflecting on themselves, did they go the wrong way before?

Before "Truman's World", literary films have always been niche, and there are very few that break 100 million, and many people discuss our film when they attend the party, and it is normal for the box office to be low.

Just like Wu Bing said, literary films are a small market, and it is normal for the box office to be low.

For so many years, this is a consensus in the industry.

After all, many people are willing to listen to it too.

What do you say?

The director of the literary film feels that only by saying this can he prove that he is not a waste or a salted fish.

It's not that I can't, it's the market.

But now that "Truman's World" and "Darling" are so successful, it's as if they've taken off this fig leaf.

Liang Chao, the director of literary films who is filming in Dali, also said in an interview: "Yes, I said at the beginning that the low box office of literary films cannot be blamed on the market, some of our directors are too paranoid, you make films for the audience to watch, but some directors are becoming more and more stubborn and paranoid, as if adding all kinds of meanings and metaphors to a movie, and then saying that the audience doesn't understand when the box office is low, this is nonsense."

In terms of the level of concept, "Truman's World" has high intentions, many people believe that they will begin to reflect on life after watching this movie, but even if this movie is so innovative and so powerful, it will not be incomprehensible, or if you can't understand it the first time, then you can understand it the second time, and Lin Chen didn't say that the audience who can't understand it is garbage.

In addition, there is the movie "Dear" that is still being released, I see that some people criticize this movie, saying that it is too sensational, what is unrealistic, what is deliberately rubbing people, and it is a chicken thief. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Chao also showed anger on his face: "These people are just farting, after so many years, have those filmmakers who keep saying that they want to change the world with movies really done it?"

But this "Darling" has done it, because how many orphaned families are there every year, and how many abducted children are there every year?

That's the reality.

In our village, there were a few people whose children were abducted, and in an instant the children were gone, almost not for ten seconds.

So I think the movie "Darling" is still good for me, if you want to say that the conflict in this movie is a bit too coincidental, it is right to criticize it, but movies are movies, and many times movies come from reality, but they must be higher than reality, otherwise what kind of artistic creation?"

The reporter was shocked when he read the words.

Yes.

Originally, everyone wanted to interview Liang Chao for a few words, but they didn't expect Liang Chao to say so much.

Who is Liang Chao?

That's the leader of the new directors of literary films.

Let's put it this way.

Directors are all good at it, some people are good at making comedies, if you ask him to make war movies, then he will definitely hit the street.

Some people are good at shooting costume films, and if he shoots modern films, he may not be very good.

Some people are good at sitcoms, and if you ask them to shoot other genres, they will definitely not be able to control it.

On the whole, directors have their own strengths, and there are very few all-rounders.

Among them, Liang Chao is good at shooting literary films, and many of the literary films shot by Liang Chao are very in-depth, he does not want the end of literature and commerce like Jiang Sheng.

Liang Chao's films are not high at the box office.

He made a documentary, this documentary is about "The Disappearance of Women", it can be said that this film is chilling, mainly about a village in the mountains, this village is called Singles Village.

There are just no women.

Why are there no women?

It's scary to think about this.

In short, when the documentary "The Disappearance of a Woman" was released, it shook the whole country, but unfortunately the box office was not high.

Later, Liang Chao focused his attention on the nursing home, where there is still evil and darkness that we can't see.

Although the next few literary films were not high at the box office, they made Liang Xuan famous and won numerous awards.

In his own words, I know that making such films doesn't make money, but on the one hand, I want to make this society a little better, so I want to do my part, on the other hand, I'm not a person who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and I'm short of money, but I can't shoot commercial blockbusters.

This is Liang Chao.

I have always maintained a confidence in the world, and at the same time, I have not set myself any big goals.

True.

In Liang Chao's opinion, he is such a person, and he has once touted him.

Liang Chao is 40 years old this year, but he has always been divorced, because his wife died unexpectedly at the age of 32.

In this regard, Liang Chao replied directly: "Don't talk nonsense, even if I get married, I still maintain my love for my wife, I'm not a monk, don't wear a high hat for me, who stipulates that widows can't find women anymore? And I've always had a girlfriend, so thank you, I'm just an ordinary person." ”

In this regard, Liang Chao is tens of millions of times more than some artists in the entertainment industry.

After all, there are many artists in the entertainment industry, who come out to show affection and play their own games after they are divorced, and some get married just for better publicity.

Wait.

Besides, Liang Chao is only behind the scenes after all, and he is not like some directors to play cameo roles, or even participate in variety shows, etc., for this reason, Liang Chao is actually only famous in the industry, and not many real netizens know about it.

But with his personality, Liang Chao also has a bunch of fans.

However, Liang Chao is incompatible with other directors of literary films, he has never thought that literary films have a low box office because the market is small, and he doesn't think that since you want to pursue individuality, don't scold netizens.

For this reason, when Liang Chao mentioned the future of literary films in an interview today, he also said a little too much.

"I still say the same thing, I believe that literary films will get better and better in the future, so thank Lin Chen for bringing the revival of literary films. ”

Liang Chao said seriously.

At the end of the interview, the media left very satisfied.

At this time, the public relations staff next to Liang Chao came over and said, "Director Liang, you are just going to provoke infighting with your own strength." ”

"Hehe, infighting is infighting, if you let so many people control it like this, the literary film would have died a long time ago. ”

Liang Chao said this and smiled: "Besides, don't you keep saying that I don't publicize, don't you know the new movie "Going to Dali" that we are going to make now?"

The public relations staff looked at Liang Chao and froze for a while.

Nima.

You know how to advertise co-authors.

Since you understand propaganda, Mao has always expressed his discooperation in various ways before?

Liang Chao smiled but did not speak.

There are some things that he doesn't bother to do, but there are some things that he feels are okay to do.

......

Literary films have always been 'popular or not, and celebrities are not popular'.

Whether it is Xiangjiang, Baodao or the mainland, basically literary films are like this, and the box office is often not too high, but many directors' literary films have won many awards.

It is precisely the case that there is also a saying in the industry.

If you want to win an award, make a literary film.

At that time, when Lin Chen wanted to make a literary film, many people in the industry were also ridiculed, thinking that Lin Chen was really desperate to win the award.

As a result, who would have thought that "Truman's World" would be a big hit.

is precisely so, in the field of literary films, Lin Chen has brought revival to literary films with "Truman's World", at least for some directors to have learning experience.

That is, the box office of literary films can also be a big hit.

But that's what I said, but some people weren't convinced.

Among today's literary film directors, such as Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei is the leader of the sixth generation of directors, and unlike other directors, other directors began to switch to commercial films when literary films were about the same.

But Zhang Wei has always wanted to make commercial films, or he thinks that making commercial films is disrespectful to art.

Yes.

That's what Zhang Wei thinks.

And before Lin Chen, Zhang Wei's literary films were the box office record, and the one that broke 100 million was even more word-of-mouth to the extreme, because Zhang Wei has been shooting at the bottom, and it is precisely because of the bottom that it resonates, but it is also slightly abusive.

Zhang Wei didn't expect the box office hits of the two movies "Truman's World" and "Dear", but he watched these two movies.

Frankly, he didn't like it.

And he doesn't think it's a literary film either.

"Truman's World" is at most an urban film, and "Dear" is an ethical film anyway.

What do you have to do with our literary films?

Therefore, Zhang Wei also talked about Lin Chen in an interview a few days ago.

On the whole, Zhang Wei's tone is not provocative, that is, he recognizes Lin Chen's box office ability, but he does not think that Lin Chen's two movies are literary films.

By the way, last year, Zhang Wei's filming of "Reunion" hit the street at the box office, and it was bloody, and what Zhang Wei said at that time was: "The audience's appreciation level is not enough." ”

This translation has also attracted praise from many directors of literary films.

However, among them, Liang Chao just doesn't think so, according to what you Zhang Dadao said, the box office is the audience's pot, so if the box office is not good, it's not that Liang Chao can't do it?

But at that time, the two did not tear hard, and it is said that there was still a little conflict when they met backstage.

As a result, during today's interview, why were the media reporters excited about Liang Chao's words?

This is obviously directed at Zhang Wei.

Fights began.
