Chapter Ninety-Nine: Annual Loss List (4/5)

In terms of technique, Lu Xiaoran is already an impeccable director!

To judge a director's technique, in fact, just look at the scene and composition.

Say

Large-scale action scenes.

Ordinary directors basically only use multi-camera shooting, and hand it over to the editor to cut it in the later stage, and the audience will watch it lively, such as "The Wind Whisperer" and "The Battle of Los Angeles", at first glance, there are many people, money, and cameras.

The awesome director still controls the overall situation when the big scene is big, and the law is rigorous, such as "Shadow Warrior", "Apocalypse Now", "Black Hawk Down", Lu Xiaoran has almost reached the master level in scene scheduling;

Multi-person dialogue;

In order for multi-person dialogues to look good, you need to have a deep understanding of what scene scheduling is, the group scenes of "Knives Out", and the completion of the lens language can be called a template...

In addition, there are long shots.

Many directors like to pretend to be a master and engage in long shots.

To be honest, long shots are a test of scene scheduling.

The long shots in Hou Hsiao-hsien's "City of Sadness" are basically unprecedented after the scene scheduling is endless, and there are a number of long shot masters, Parma, An Zhe, etc., judging the quality of long shots, you just need to see if you can see the scheduling and the amount of information - most domestic directors only have long shots left.

Lu Xiaoran played a long shot in "Gravity", and basically achieved a master!

Of course, he also has a bad place, the most typical sexual ambiguous scene - domestic directors deal with such things, and it is already the highest level to dare to shoot, in fact, what scenes in the movie can completely serve the film, not out of line, not noisy, natural, very test the level of the director, Lao Lu has no chance to practice, the movie "Dark Side" is an erotic drama, and there is no restraint at all...

But he has always had a concern of himself - the expiration of the plug-in!

Q: What are the characteristics of the protagonist of Huayuwen with plug-ins?

Answer: Plagiarism...

And I've been copying, and I've been cool!

What should I do if the plug-in expires?

I don't know...

......

Colloquium...

Lu Xiaoran has participated several times this year, "I Can Say", "Wolf Warrior 2", and "Operation Red Sea" all have post-event symposiums...

There's nothing to write about, it's all official words, what 'great times are destined to give birth to great works', 'I hope that more directors will look at the times and launch more immortal works that reflect reality and eulogize the times, so as to further unite people's hearts and work together. Strive to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation'

By the way, Lu Xiaoran also took on a task - to cooperate with the Air Force to shoot a movie that reflects the Air Force.

The subject matter is all realistic - 81192, I can't go back!

Lu Xiaoran asked, 'Can you shoot realistically?'

"Don't be afraid, we will set up the project, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not have to worry about it!"

'Then I'm really looking for someone to write the script!'

can also understand, "Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Red Sea", "Sky Hunting"...

Do you think there is a movie that is particularly abrupt?

......

No. 27, Tea Mountain.

Lu Xiaoran held a fishing rod in his hand...

He's been a bit obsessed with fishing lately.

According to the saying of "Fishing China": the benevolent person enjoys the mountain, and the fish person enjoys the water. Everyone has a hidden river and lake in their fishing hearts, maybe it is a small stream and a big river from the depths of the forest, or an acre of square pond away from the hustle and bustle, maybe the lake and reservoir with beautiful mountains and rivers, or the vast sea with blue waves, no matter the cold and heat, where we are, where there is water is where our hearts are!

They said that the joy of hunting came from human genes, but Lu Xiaoran didn't believe it, because Tangtang came with him once, and then never came...

Open the mobile phone, "Historical Records: The Biography of King Pingxi":

In the winter of 2017, Li Shuaijun, the king of Pingxi, went to the hip-hop country and captured tens of thousands of flat-shouldered kings of the hip-hop country with a strategy of luring the enemy to go deep. After severe torture and coercion, he successfully beat Pitens of thousands into the hip-hop country.

In the next year, Pitens of thousands of brain-dead fans rose up, using "self-immolation" as the code, and attacked the capital of the hip-hop country in one fell swoop.

After the right-wing forces in the hip-hop country tried in vain to recruit peace and return to obedience, the emperor did not allow it, and then hip-hop perished... When the army returned to the court, he passed by the country of Shouting Mai on the way back, and mistakenly thought it was the remnants of the hip-hop country, and he also destroyed it.

Day...

What a chicken!

Continue to watch, the list of annual loss-making movies pushed by Toutiao today is first Hollywood's: "King Arthur: Colosse", which is expected to lose $175 million, and then "Star Agent: City of a Thousand Planets".

The latter, Lu Xiaoran knows, Luc Besson was in Cannes that year, and about 180 million US dollars of investment share was snatched up, including the domestic Shanghai Jimei Pictures, which invested 50 million US dollars for the film and was the second largest investor in "Star Agent".

Keimei Pictures...

A Chinese film company tied to Luc Besson...

In the past two years, Luc Besson has made a little effort in "Super Body", and other films have either suffered huge losses or small losses...

"Warrior's Gate" and "Star Agent: City of a Thousand Planets", the former cost 300 million US dollars to produce, and the latter 210 million US dollars.

Really, the head is really iron!

An investment of 50 million US dollars, that is, 1.2 billion yuan to recover the cost...

It's too much to watch French films!

Kimei Pictures - the backbone of France!

What should I do if I lose so much?

Why don't I give you Europa Pictures?

In an industry that relies heavily on creativity, the life and death of film and television companies have always been in the blink of an eye.

On the mainland loss list, "The Legend of Demon Suppression" directed by Wang Jing, "The Second Generation Goblin" of Gongfu Films, and "The Legend of Shark Pearl" starring Wang Dazui are among the top five on the loss list...

The highest loss should still be "Blood of the Machine", with a cost of nearly $70 million!

In 2017, a total of 382 films were released, with a total box office of 59.211 billion, and the top ten films contributed 25.21 billion, accounting for about 40% of the total box office of the year.

Next year, "Tang Detective 2", "God of Medicine", "Captain Touching Gold", "Walking with God", "New World", "Wushuang 2", "The Great Wall 2" and "The Wandering Earth", which is in the late stage, will strive for 30 billion for eight movies!

......

After collecting the fishing rod and carrying the empty bucket, Lu Xiaoran went home - fishing is not the goal, the main thing is to clean up alone...

Tangtang held up the message on his mobile phone and said ostentatiously: "... Look!"

"What?"

"I've won the National Spirit Builder Award!"

"Was it issued by CCTV?" Lu Xiaoran became interested, took the phone and looked at it.

Tangtang shook her head: "No!"

"That's the General Bureau?"

“... No, it's Mercedes and Hyundai..."

"Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai? Aren't they the ones that make cars?"

, two foreign companies award an award, what is the name of the national spiritual builder?

"There used to be a backbone of the republic, you know?"

“... Know. ”

"9800, it's advisable to wait for it!, and then I was ridiculed by the netizens..."

"No, I've heard that no outsiders know about this award..."

"If you get it, there must be outsiders who know!"

“... Then I won't accept it!"

"Well, don't get involved in this kind of thing, besides, you're speaking for Infiniti, don't mix blindly with Mercedes-Benz..."

Tangtang called the studio and told them that she would not accept a foreign company using the name of 'national spiritual builder'.

"Who else has won the award?"

“... I don't know, I heard that there is Fan Xiaopang..."

"Fan Xiaopang... Tsk..."
