Chapter 106: Backstage (5/5)
When Mr. Lu saw his label of 'youth representative', he wanted to reply, 'Can you represent youth when you step on a horse?'
But it's a variety show!
You know, variety shows have to have a breaking point.
"I'm just talking about my opinion, a little bit of my opinion as a film practitioner!"
Ma Hao then asked: "The road to domestic blockbusters has proven to be unworkable... A lot of people think that we should stop and reflect on the model of big investment and more directing..."
"I'll interrupt!"
"If someone succeeds, you will desperately advocate it, and if someone fails, you will launch a large-scale reflection! But in fact? Is there anything in this world that is absolute? Oh, if a big director can't increase investment and stars, then how do you say it will work? Because of a few examples of failure, a path is completely denied, is this an attitude of serious and responsible discussion?"
"Of course, the film has a commercial label, but in the end, it is by no means something that you can do well if you follow the prescribed process, because it has another attribute that cannot be ignored - the film is still a work of art.
The general choice of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of viewers is actually full of rationality and law, and very objective, but the creation of artworks is always subjective.
Subjective, to objective, there is never a 100% accuracy rate!"
"If I make a blockbuster film and succeed at the box office, does it mean that if I follow my path, I will definitely be able to succeed?"
Ma Hao was scolded...
The point is that he hasn't said how to speak yet...
Lu Xiaoran explained embarrassedly: "These things are because I watched a lot of news some time ago, and they were saying 'we don't want blockbusters', we want good stories..."
"In fact, the core of the film is the image, and the story is the most basic thing!"
"Most movies are about I love you or I'm going to kill you, the difference is how to tell it. ”
"Let me just ask: Is "Time and Space Traveler" a complicated story?"
"Is Avatar a complicated story?"
"Stories are stories, movies are movies, you have the ability, no matter how simple the story is, it can be fascinating, you don't have the ability, give you "Hamlet", you can only make it..."
Lu Xiaoran quickly shut up...
"The last one is minus!"
“... Don't worry, it's definitely minus!"
The one who stepped on the horse said that it was smooth...
The latter question is more variety, for example: "We found out that many of your movies are looking for your girlfriend, why?"
"Sometimes it's because it's suitable, sometimes it's because you can't find someone, so let her top it!"
"As a Venice actor, how do you evaluate Tangtang's acting skills?"
"There's room for improvement!"
"How do you evaluate Liu Yifei of this cooperation?"
“... Very nice actress, very hard!"
"Will we cooperate in the future?"
"It depends on the situation, if you have a suitable book, you will definitely find her, I have been filming in the past few years, and I basically use those actors..."
......
Lao Liu's New Year's file this year has two movies "Source Code" and "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet", both of which are blockbusters!
Fortunately, there is a two-week gap between the two movies, "Source Code" is scheduled for November 11, and "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" is on November 25...
Sandwiched between the two movies is "The Military Order of the Female General of the Yang Gate".
However, judging from the current feedback, "Yangmen Female General" is not an opponent at all!
Some time ago, Brother Song went to the cinema viewing meeting of "The Military Order of the Female General of the Yang Gate", and left the theater directly...
It's really not disrespectful, half of the theater managers left the theater early...
That movie, it sucks!
Unbelievably rotten!
Oh, Brother Song is now the person in charge of the Orange Cinema Line, last week, they won the Orange Sky Golden Harvest Cinema Line and directly changed its name to Orange Cinema Line...
Lu Xiaoran's plan is to keep 60 theaters and 500 screens, and sell the rest to Wanda in 2017!
Now there are only about 30...
Slowly develop, anyway, the theater chain has at least five years of dividends to eat!
Shanghai, premiere of "Source Code".
That's right, Dragon TV got a premiere program for "Source Code"...
Media Media has also invested in "Source Code"...
The blockbusters of the past few years have really been lined up!
"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" also premiered on Dragon TV...
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"...
Zhang Weipin is so much, he resolutely does not let anyone interfere in Zhang Yimou's project, and does not leave any soup for outsiders - Sohu Video sponsored 3 million before winning the right to hold the premiere!
"Source Code", the production fund is 120 million, Orange Image only invested 20 million, China Film accounts for a large proportion, 50 million, Media and Radio Media, TV and Radio Media each invested 20 million, and the remaining 10 million is orange special effects, that is, Lu Xiaoran invested...
Vertical and horizontal...
Especially for big productions, of course, the more people involved, the better.
Backstage, Brother Song is chatting with Lu Xiaoran about the release of "Source Code" tomorrow:
"The theater chain has given 48% of the films, do you want to fight for it again?"
"No, the number of screens has exceeded 10,000 now, and 48% of the scheduled films is enough!"
After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoran asked: ""The Female General of the Yang Gate" is so bad?"
"Well, it's terrible! It's really bad, I've seen it halfway, I can't stay any longer..."
“... The Hong Kong circle has indeed declined, but Chen Xunqi is still suitable for making music!"
“... No, I heard that Chen Xunqi was ordered in danger, and he finished filming "Yangmen Female General" in two appointments, Zhang Baizhi is still too greedy for money, I heard that she took "Hedong Lion's Roar 2" for 16 million..."
The common problem of Hong Kong actors, in fact, they have the conditions to pick scripts!
It's just that a lot of times, I don't recognize the money and don't recognize the book...
Take any bad movie.
Liu Yifei pulled Wan Qian to sit over: "What are you talking about..."
"We're talking about tomorrow's box office!"
"Can it break 100 million?"
“... You think so highly of me, "Transformers 3" didn't break 100 million on the first day!"
Lu Xiaoran rolled her eyes...
Do you think that "Source Code" broke 100 million on the first day?
What do you think?
“... Director, can I just participate in a roadshow for a week?"
"Give a reason!"
"Over there in "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", I also want to run publicity..."
Lu Xiaoran glanced up at her: "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet?
"No, I'm playing Yu Ji!"
"Yu Ji, what does Yu Ji have to do with the Hongmen Banquet?"
“... The director's script..."
"Okay, the director is Li Rengang, maybe Yu Ji and Liu Bang can have a relationship..."Speaking of which, Lu Xiaoran noticed that Liu Yifei bowed his head in embarrassment...
Mr. Lu said it completely casually, purely complaining...
"Wouldn't it? Liu Bang and Yu Ji?
Tsk, it's a pity not to write about this brain hole!
“... It's just ambiguous..."
"You're going to be scolded to death!"
Lu Xiaoran said very seriously.
"So it was renamed, it was called "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet", and the director originally wanted to call it "The Hongmen Banquet"!"
“...”
