Lu Xiaoran continued:

"The definition of science fiction itself is very controversial, the word fantasy represents its unreal, and the word science represents truth and logic, these two words indicate that this kind of movie is a tightrope walk, and it needs to be well balanced, when the audience agrees with you, you will succeed, and if it is inconsistent, it is a bad movie..."

"It's normal to have bad reviews, many viewers come to see this movie with high expectations, they are targeting "Interstellar" or "2001: A Space Odyssey", obviously "The Martian" failed to meet their needs, so, they gave a bad review... This is the consumer perspective. ”

"But the bad reviews I want to see are from the producer's point of view, that is, if they were to shoot, how they would adjust the camera position, how they would tell the story, or what kind of rendering would be better for this special effect... However, the movie reviews I noticed are often crazy about the premise of 'Mars has no atmosphere'... Regarding the movie, is there a better way to enter the plot I can't think of, there is no such argument, this is terrible, there is no reference at all!"

"Maybe it's because science fiction is a new thing?"

Lu Xiaoran frowned, and finally nodded: "Maybe." ”

When it came to the audience question session, an old man with glasses asked, "Why did you make "The Martian"?"

Lu Xiaoran: "... There is no reason, but I thought of an astronaut who was abandoned on Mars because of an accident, and the rest of the story naturally came!"

I thought that "Dialogue" could be a little different...

The questions asked are similar to those of a roadshow...

"At the beginning of the preparations, I held a meeting with the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and some teachers proposed that there could be no major storm on Mars. I can only stop in time: this must be 'possible', otherwise the movie will be yellow"

"There is no essential difference between science fiction and martial arts, fantasy and other genres, one of their commonalities is that they have a certain entertainment value, and some excellent works may also have inspirational value. But that's about it. Science fiction can assume the responsibility of inspiring the audience to explore and discuss science, but science fiction itself should never and does not need to bear the responsibility of truthfully reflecting the principles of science. ”

"A movie is a movie, a thesis is a thesis, don't mix them up!"

"It's too easy to pick this kind of thing, give me a film source, I can pick a hundred questions in an hour!"

After pulling a bunch of eggs, a middle-aged man finally stood up: "Why do you have to engage in industrialization, the things produced in the handicraft workshop may also be high-quality products!"

"Film industrialization means that from investment, preparation, to actor selection, lens language, performance methods, post-processing, publicity and operation, etc., there are certain mature rules, and all links follow the general model of the industry. Who has the right to decide and who will implement each link is open and generally observed, and only in this way can we work together to complete large-scale products. ”

"I admit that there are many good works of independent films, but the times are changing, we have to compete for the market, we can't just produce independent films, and industrialization is the only way for us to enter the global market!"

......

After "Dialogue", I recorded "Face to Face"...

Finally put an end to all the publicity of "The Martian".

There are a lot of comments on the Internet criticizing fans of "The Martian"...

Lu Xiaoran has become a lot calmer recently, if it were a few books in the past, he directly said, 'I can't get used to it, don't watch it, go to see American things!', 'Cheap is not cheap, I am used to being bullied by foreigners, and I think Chinese movies can't be so powerful'...

What he said was, 'Understandably, many viewers watched 'The Martian' and didn't live up to their expectations...'

It's getting more and more atmospheric!

On January 6th, the 22nd day of the release of "The Martian", it finally lost the single-day box office champion - "Star Wars Gaiden: Rogue One" was released...

The $200 million production of "Star Wars Story: Rogue One" was released in the mainland on the 6th, and the first day of the film schedule exceeded 40%, which can be described as a dominant...

What is surprising is the box office results: the first day of the report was 66 million, the next day was only 63 million, and the third day was only 54 million...

Although it won the box office championship in the first weekend, it was far from suppressing "The Martian", which won 130 million box office in the fourth weekend of its release, successfully entered the 4 billion club, and increased its cumulative box office to 4.06 billion...

Getting the extension key is for sure!

Orange Ticketing gives the final prediction: 4.48 billion...

Why don't you predict more, because the Douban score of "The Invisible Guest" is as high as 9.1 points, and the single-day box office has risen from 19 million on the first day to 46 million on Sunday...

The box office is bullish all the way!

Of course, this year's Spring Festival came a little early - January 27 is Chinese New Year's Eve...

It's a full game, and it's only 20 days of release time...

However, Lu Xiaoran has already arrived in the United States on the 5th...

......

"How to evaluate Lu Xiaoran's status in the industry"...

"No one can match, whether it is the box office or awards, he has done it unprecedentedly, whether there is anyone coming behind, I don't know, he can get the unified affirmation of ringing the bell and opening a restaurant, which shows that he is already the mainstream!"

"The mythical status, I often tell my classmates, we are witnessing the legend..."

Lu Xiaoran looked at the bunch of Ren praising him on Zhihu, and wanted to give him a thumbs up...

But no, there will be browsing history!

You have to hold back!

"Lu!"

“... David. ”

After spending several minutes in the café at the airport, David finally arrived...

The two hugged for a while, and Lu Xiaoran looked at him: "Why are you fat?"

"Sitting in the office every day, easy to gain weight, let's go, James they are waiting for us at the hotel!"

James is Wen Ziren, his English name is James Wen...

Lao Lu came this time to sell the company...

To be precise, it was to find a backer for the company - he couldn't bear it as an outsider.

Lao Mei is now conservative as a whole, and a bunch of media criticize orange manufacturing, saying what red invasion...

Invade your uncle, can the Hollywood Big Six set up a branch in Beijing, but the orange subsidiary cannot?

Two days ago there was even a public protest from a parliamentarian ...

Where do you make sense?

It is impossible for Lu Xiaoran to guarantee the identity of the major shareholder.

In the car, David sighed a little: "China's film market is too powerful, I heard that "The Martian" has won $560 million at the box office?"

“... Almost, the box office potential of phenomenal films is large enough. ”

"Awesome!"

It's really powerful, a single region won 560 million US dollars, even if it is placed in North America, it can enter the top ten.

"Didn't you say that the Chinese film market is a gold mine..."

"But you have to have the ability to dig for gold!"

David talked about Rogue One...

Disney is really trying to curry favor with the Chinese market, otherwise, why find two Chinese actors?

It's a pity that "Rogue One" performed very poorly at the box office in China, not to mention the signature of "Star Wars", and even last year's "The Force Awakens" doubled "Rogue One"...
