What is the standard of a good movie?

Generally speaking, there are two, one is the box office, and the other is word-of-mouth, the former is directly supported by data, and the latter can be evaluated through relevant scores, even if different websites have different standards and different moisture, but looking at some professional websites can still see what a film is like in most people's hearts.

The production cost of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is $55 million, the global box office is $307 million, and the related scores, IMDB is 8.0 points, and Douban is 9.0 points.

From these two perspectives, this work can be said to be a box office and word-of-mouth.

It's just that the standard angle is always diverse, and the other standard is also criticized by many people is that this work is really not very good in terms of storytelling.

Even in Gan Jing's heart, his evaluation of this work also has the word "old-fashioned", but this word is embedded in one sentence - an old-fashioned but touching inspirational story,

In a word, the story of a down-and-out single father who successfully turned into a millionaire through setbacks.

However, why was When Happiness Knocks on the Door such a huge success?

With their true feelings, the two actors, one big and one young, are the father and son in reality, and the warmth and tacit understanding between each other are extremely moving.

As a director, Italian director Gabriel can be said to be a professional in feature films, and his editing and directing skills are really indispensable.

Well, Gan Jing's choice of this film also took a few seconds of serious thinking, and he was true of both of these points.

However, how should I explain it to Yu Shanhai, the producer of Zhengrui Film and Television Media Company?

"Yu Production, there are ups and downs in the film market, but an inspirational film that can move people's hearts can always pay off. Gan Jing frowned and did not respond to the producer's invitation for a role, he glared at his sister-in-law and threatened her to stop her small movements, and then continued, "Mainstream audiences never refuse a warm film. ”

Yu Shanhai smiled: "Yes, there is no problem with this, but, it is not an exaggeration to say that inspirational films, drama films, family themes, family themes, and family themes, my office is full of two drawers of scripts." ”

He used a wave of his hand to emphasize: "So, why did I choose your script? Give me a reason to convince myself and my boss." ”

Gan Jing pondered for a moment, and said honestly: "Because of me." ”

"What?" Yu Shanhai didn't understand.

"I'm a good actor, and because of my appearance, this film will be filmed. Gan Jing hasn't said anything like this for a long, long time, but he is never shy about telling the truth.

Yu Shanhai smiled, smiling very happily.

He made an OK gesture and nodded: "Mr. Gan, I have seen your performance on "Actor", well, it is indeed good, but there is a difference between a movie and a performance on stage for a few minutes, and there is also a difference between different types of roles. Okay, okay, these are put aside for the time being, I have the right to be true when your condition is established, but you said that you want to attract investment, and you will be the director......"

Yu Shanhai spread his hands: "How can you let me vote?" If it weren't for Director Sun Mao's introduction, I wouldn't have seen you. ”

Gan Jing asked tentatively: "Why don't you try to invest in it?" Reduce the risk and you will get a good return." ”

Yu Shanhai just smiled and shook his head.

Gan Jing thought about it, this thing is really hard to say, and it is not easy to believe the empty mouth and white teeth before it was filmed.

So, is there any other way?

Encounter a problem, solve it or bypass it.

Just as Gan Jing was thinking, Yu Jing next to her couldn't help but speak.

"Producer Yu, you just said that there is a movie role suitable for Brother Gan, I don't know what role it is?" The girl remembered the words of the previous producer.

Yu Shanhai looked at Gan Jing, who had an outstanding image and temperament, and said without hiding his surprise: "I haven't seen Mr. Gan before, but I just watched the performance on the show. ”

Coincidentally, the female number one is Liu Liwen, who Mr. Gan worked with in the show. The investment in this film is about 80 million, and the resources are very good. Yu Shanhai revealed some information, and once again made a sincere invitation, "I don't know what Mr. Gan thinks?"

Gan Jing is still thinking.

Yu Shanhai is a senior producer, he is very good at reading other people's expressions, and said earnestly at this time: "I think the road of an actor is to go step by step, and it is normal to act and direct, but you have to act first, you can see that Mr. Gan's acting skills are good, and the role of a male number two can make you shine more brilliance." ”

"Well, does Producer Yu like to listen to songs?" Gan Jing suddenly asked.

Yu Shanhai was a little confused, this question didn't seem to be related to the above conversation.

Next to her, Yu Jing wanted to cover her head, she already understood the jump in Gan Jing's thinking and the disconnection from time to time, and she always felt that the things in her mind were different from others.

"I like it. Yu Shanhai nodded patiently.

"If I were to sing you a song, would you be able to give me money?" asked Gan Jing.

Yu Shanhai shook his head.

Gan Jing sighed, got up and stretched out his right hand and said politely: "What you said is very sincere and clear. I really thank Producer Yu for his kindness, and I hope to cooperate with you and Zhengrui in the future. "He thinks this producer is really good.

Yu Shanhai felt the arrogance of the young actor in front of him, smiled slightly, got up and shook hands: "I hope to see you have amazing roles in the future, I still like your performance on the stage of "Actor" very much." ”

After the two shook hands, Gan Jing motioned for Yu Jing to leave with him.

When he got out of Zhengrui Company, his sister-in-law was still a little embarrassed, but Gan Jing was very ordinary, he glanced at the record on his mobile phone and said, "Okay, this one is over, let's go to the next company to ask." ”

"Hey, why are you rejecting other people's roles?" Yu Jing understands very well what the second male lead in a movie means to the current Gan Jing, and she doesn't understand what the current Gan Jing is thinking.

"Today and tomorrow, our goal is to try the investment of film and television companies, roles, not in the plan, I don't have much interest. Gan Jing shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Have you forgotten? I'm going to let Ersi also star, in order to give her a chic film education." ”

Yu Jing let out a long breath of depression in her chest, and she followed behind like a resignation.

After a while, she suddenly remembered the off-line scene in the chat just now, and asked, "Why do you ask people if they listen to the song or not?"

Gan Jing recited dryly in a reciting tone: "I have crossed mountains and seas, and I have also passed through mountains and seas. ”

"What is this?" Yu Jing didn't understand.

"The charm of music that tried but didn't work. Gan Jing glanced at the girl, not wanting to explain more, "The one who failed, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Yu Jing was not in the mood to get to the bottom of it at the moment, but just continued to be in a bad position.

The two of them walked silently on the road, and Gan Jing's footsteps suddenly stopped.

His eyes lit up and he stretched out an index finger: "Musical charm, well, I have another inspiration." ”
