Chapter 104: Special Effects War (4)
For children, what kind of drama is tokusatsu drama? It's a very magical drama.
In the play, you don't need to be handsome men and beautiful women, and it doesn't matter if your appearance is generally low.
Because in the eyes of children, the so-called beauty and ugliness are not important.
It's the truth.
Because many boys don't have a very direct concept of beauty and ugliness when they are young.
Maybe a girl who can only be said to be average-looking is a beauty in their eyes, and maybe a recognized beauty is not as good as a bunch of iron bumps in their eyes.
It's the truth.
So for boys, there are two most important points in juvenile tokusatsu dramas.
One is whether this toy is fun or not, and the other is how handsome this toy's moves in the play.
Yes, they will not pay attention to the plot, nor will they pay attention to the appearance of the hero and heroine.
For them, those are useless things.
On the contrary, Director Zhang Zhang made the biggest taboo of a special effects film director!
That is to complicate the plot!
A child, can he endure his temperament and watch a very brain-burning special film?
!
How many children are so shady?
It's not some rejuvenating monster.
For special films, the simpler the plot, the better.
Don't you see, why has Ultraman been popular for nearly half a century?
But the routine is always like that?
Here's why.
Why did Peng Hui treat Xiao Si as a big enemy before, but he didn't care about the stronger tension?
Herein lies the reason.
Zhang Li substituted his own thinking as an adult into the filming process of the special camera.
What does this mean?
It's like cutting meat with a toothpick!
The profession is completely inappropriate!
Seeing this, do many people feel that Peng Hui before accused Kai Zhigao of the appearance of the actors in "Dream Idol" is an incomprehensible thing?
But in fact, Peng Hui was not wrong.
Why?
What is the audience for Dream Idol?
Because its main actors are girl actors, many people think that this is a girl special film.
Yes, this film is indeed a special film for girls, but its audience is not just girls!
Or in other words, the mainstream audience of girl special effects is not a girl!
It's the old men from thirty to fifty years old!
It sounds magical, but that's actually the truth.
For example, Peng Hui knew a very famous girl special film in his previous life - "The Dancing Girl".
When this film was in the first three parts, the ratings have been tepid, and it can't do another classic girl special film "Balala Little Demon Fairy".
But when this "Dancing Girl" was filmed in the fourth season, it suddenly exploded!
The reason is simple.
In the fourth season, Bai Yangqian, one of the leading actors Chunbao, captured the hearts of many adult men at once with his excellent appearance of Chinese-French mixed race!
That feeling of healing, that feeling of vitality that spring has come......
So much so that from this one, the works of the "Dancing Girl" series have suddenly attracted much attention!
That's why there's a little bit of meaning to a girl's special film!
And what is the root cause of all this?
It's because of the looks.
In fact, even another classic girl special effects film "Balala Little Demon Fairy" is a classic, because of the excellent appearance of Liu Meihan, the actor of the villain girl Yan Lili!
The biggest difference between girls' special films and juvenile special effects is that girls are actually not very interested in special films.
Especially live-action special films, I am not interested.
Therefore, the audience of girl special effects should not simply take girls as the standard, but should add the preferences of adult men.
So what are the preferences of adult men?
Pretty little princess!
This is a dream that every adult man has in his heart!
Who can refuse a sweet-looking, cute, lively and cheerful girl?
As long as it's a male, it won't work!
It is conceivable what kind of embarrassing situation Kai Zhigao will encounter when Kai Zhigao's so-called girl special film "Dream Idol" comes out.
And the key is that the 30 million flowers of Kaizhigao are really speechless.
First of all, don't look at the appearance of the leading actors in this film, but there are two child stars among them, and the salary is 50,000 yuan per episode.
Yes, it's 50,000 yuan!
Many people have no idea about the price.
Any child actor will be paid 500 for starring in a play!
The gap is a hundredfold!
Thirty episodes, that's one and a half million.
Two is three million.
That's a tenth of it.
The salaries of other actors together also cost 500,000.
Then there is the cost of the venue rental.
Because it's an "idol" chasing dreams, this costume must be missing, right?
What other props, songs, dances......
Combined, these miscellaneous expenses cost 13 million.
That's sixteen million.
The remaining 14 million was spent on publicity.
Yes, propaganda.
What is this brick house, that beast, this director, that newspaper......
Anyway, everywhere you can imagine, there are basically his advertisements.
In fact, this is also normal, publicity, very important.
Even a piece of can be turned into something that people flock to through propaganda.
It's like cat poop coffee.
For example, Japan's very perverted human shit food.
(PS: Don't go and see it while you're eating!)
What is the result?
After people's expectations for this drama are infinitely high......
This play died violently.
Yes, worse than Xiao Si!
Xiao Si was scolded and scolded, but there are still ratings and attention, but what about "Dream Idol"?
No!
Nothing!
And the ratings of these four have completely proved this.
The second place is Xiao Si's "Fire Armor", once it was broadcast, it had a rating of 2%, and at the end of the first episode, it even reached 3%!
3% is already the basic rating of Mango Channel!
In the second episode, the ratings slipped slightly, but the highest rating also reached 2.8.
