Chapter 301: Word-of-Mouth Is Still Controversial (3/6)

(Would it be good to ask for a tip?)

Is "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" an anti-Japanese drama?

Definitely!

Which bandit have you ever seen with a tank in his hand?

The original version of Xu Laowei was very clever in designing the character of Han Geng, and grafted everything directly onto the legendary story...

Director Lu doesn't want to do this, he really thinks it's appropriate to exaggerate, it's not a so-called divine drama!

We have hand-tossed devils, and the United States also has superpowers to destroy **;

We filmed the Japanese Benese people so stupidly, and the Germans in the French "Tiger's Mouth" are even more stupid.

Why can others become a generation of classics, both popular and popular, but ours is a "divine drama"?

In fact, it's just one word: good or not.

Revolutionary movies such as "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare" and "Guerrillas of the Plains", aside from some political propaganda factors and technical bottlenecks, whether it is the plot, the expression techniques, and the degree of care of the cast and crew, they are comparable to Hollywood blockbusters, and they are also a generation of classics...

The reason is simple, these movies are good, and those divine dramas are "not good".

He thinks so and does the same, most of the audience is very satisfied with "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and they think it is very fan!

"Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is indeed very game-like, anime-like, and action-oriented...

The original is both entertainment-driven in its own right, and in terms of spectacle setting and narrative conflict alone, it's timeless!

The Douban score of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is only 7.5 points, and the highest praise is "I just say this is an anti-Japanese drama, "Snow Leopard" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", Lu Xiaoran really hasn't grown at all!'

Doesn't matter...

The positioning itself is a commercial film, and the public thinks it looks good...

Moreover, "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Where Are You Going, Dad", "Macau Fengyun" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"...

You pick.

In fact, in the seven days of the Spring Festival, "Havoc in Heaven" received more than 200 million box office, and according to the current situation, there is no suspense over 400 million - it failed to return to the original...

"Where Are You Going, Dad", Dad, seven days of the Spring Festival, there is actually a box office of 200 million...

It's unreasonable!

Lu Xiaoran didn't have time to condemn it, so she was busy running a roadshow...

"Macau Vice" was released for seven days, and the box office was over 100 million...

However, in February, Hollywood blockbusters disappeared en masse, just a "Frozen"...

"The Hobbit 2" will not be released until February 21.

However, on February 14th, there was a "Beijing Love Story" by Mr. Chen, inserting a sentence, Ya Yi did not appear, and the actor became Ma Shu...

......

In the Shenzhen market, at the roadshow scene, Lu Xiaoran sprayed:

"It's a bit more than expected, we originally thought that we would win 1 billion in seven days during the Spring Festival, but now there are 200 million more, we can only say that the audience is too enthusiastic!"

"We have 20,000 screens, theoretically, a day's output can be 600 million, according to the box office development in the past two years, there is no suspense that this year's total box office will break 35 billion, a big market of 35 billion, and the head works should be 2 billion, otherwise, it will not be able to support such a big market!"

"You have to do macro analysis, you can't just look at the box office of a movie!"

"I haven't watched other movies yet, so it's hard to comment, but I heard that "Dad, Where Are You Going" is an episode of a variety show, which can also be shown in the cinema?

"I don't have any opinion on 'Dad, Where Are You Going', except that its appearance makes my mom always urge me to have children... I kind of like to watch it!"

"However, if any variety show can be made into a movie, then won't the film industry in the future be chaotic? Our "Let's Run" also learned from "Where Are You Going, Dad" to make one more issue, and I will let them broadcast it on the Internet, don't I know that such things can make money? A distribution company and a filmmaker should have strict bottom-line requirements for the industry, and you can't just try to make money and not even abide by the minimum standards!"

"Radish greens, each has its own love, since there is an audience who likes it, it means that there is a market, of course there is no problem with this statement, and I will not interfere with everyone's free choice! But as a filmmaker, I must emphasize that variety movies are not movies! It is a documentary!"

"The low cost, high yield, and quick results of variety shows will inevitably attract the attention of investors, so many good movies will become a problem to attract investors, and in the long run, bad money will drive out good money, and in the long run, it will definitely affect the healthy growth of the film market!"

"Now that the market is very hot, I think the responsibility of us real filmmakers has become to let the audience know what a good film is and what a good domestic film is. ”

"We can't use everyone's preferences too much to blur the film market, I won't let the relevant departments intervene, the market economy, the government departments will get involved, it will become very strange! If we can't even beat the freaks like variety shows and big movies, just don't make movies!"

"I'm jealous? What am I jealous of? Don't say that it sold 200 million, even if it sold 20 billion, I won't be jealous, there are countless bad movies released in the market every year, and there are countless cases of bad movies selling big, have you ever seen me talk? I'm just targeting the phenomenon of variety shows and big movies!"

Lu Xiaoran's popularity, every word he says will cause huge attention!

Soon, the phenomenon of variety shows and movies began to be discussed on the Internet...

There are many opponents, and some say, 'In fact, the market is the best referee, the relationship between supply and demand is king, let the audience choose for themselves, and the audience is the best means of evaluation!'

'The producer has the right to make his own film, and the individual also has the right to watch the movie by himself. I don't like Lu Xiaoran's ticket, so I'll leave the market's things to the market to do it by itself. ’

"When I took the old man to watch "Where Are You Going, Dad", I was very happy, I don't understand where such a movie offended Director Lu Da!"

'You can control me, and you can control who the audience likes to watch?'

And what else to say'I agree that these films are shoddy and lack sincerity. But this kind of film, some people shoot and some people watch, it is very reasonable. It is natural for Lu Xiaoran to look down on this kind of movie as a director, but what is the call for a boycott?"

Of course, there is also support, and many people in the industry support it, and Da Gangzi is very rare to support: "These phenomena will have an extremely bad impact on the development of Chinese films, resulting in no producer who will continue to be willing to invest in a serious film that has put a lot of effort into it." ”

Yu Dong also posted on Weibo: "Is a variety show movie a movie? No!

......

On February 14th, Valentine's Day, the market hit another peak, 320 million!

"Beijing Love Story" won a box office score of 106 million in a single day, Mr. Chen served as a director for the first time, and he made an extraordinary shot, but unfortunately, he failed to play "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", the latter took another 110 million in a single day, and it was released for 15 days, with a cumulative box office of more than 1.8 billion, and everyone guessed that the box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" should be around 2.5 billion...

Lu Xiaoran posted two Weibo posts, the first of which was to thank the audience:

The movie was released for half a month, with a box office of 1.8 billion, setting a series of records, thanks to the audience...

"Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is a work that I have been preparing for a long time, during which I read a lot of historical records, and later overturned the original idea - to make a work that conforms to historical materials according to the records, and make it into a simple commercial popcorn movie, so in addition to the weapons are exquisite, many things are exaggerated.

It was scolded by many people as a 'divine drama'...

I want a little justification for this, why is it a divine drama? From the very beginning, we advertised it as a 'reinterpretation of the legendary story', and never said that we would build it according to the original story!

The second is for variety show movies...

"The "big movie" derived from variety movies cannot be called movies, but just disguised paid TV programs shown in movie theaters, so why should free TV programs be put in movie theaters?"

In China's current film market, the existence of this phenomenon is very normal, but this does not mean that this should be the future development trend of Chinese films, and if there is no filmmaker who stands up to oppose it, it is the real sadness. ”

"Of course, I admit that the quality of many bad movies is not as good as that of documentaries like "Dad, Where Are You Going", but in such an impetuous environment in China, the success of low-cost variety movies will only make it more difficult for those high-cost excellent commercial blockbusters to produce, right? Hollywood blockbusters also need to spend money and invest for a long time, and real masterpieces such as "Avatar", "The Lord of the Rings", and "Frozen" took many years to create. ”

"If "Where Are You Going, Dad", which was created in less than a week with millions of investments, can earn 300 million at the box office, how can investors be motivated to support special effects blockbusters that invest hundreds of millions of dollars but are at risk of even returning to their original costs?"

"Alright, let's stop here..."
