Chapter 14: The Market Is Hot (Make Up for Yesterday)

Zhao Yanzi, Su Youpeng, Deng Chao.

A large number of crossover directors have emerged in recent times.

Understandable.

In the final analysis, there are too few appealing directors in the mainland, and many directors can't resist the box office at all, and the burden of carrying the box office is basically on the actors.

From the perspective of capital, it is quite important to be able to make money.

As for literary films, literary films in various countries are raised by commercial films, and no one expects to make a literary film to make a fortune.

Over time, actors, and even variety show coffees, skipped the director class and simply carried the banner themselves.

Film investors are also happy to do this, giving less money to a famous director and getting the same income, and everyone is happy and happy.

Let's take a look, how many mainland directors will mark the director's name on the poster and use it as the focus of publicity?

Lu Xiaoran, A Mou, Feng Xiaogang, at best, plus one Ning Hao...

Some actors may just be too thoughtful, unwilling to accept that actors are just executive directors' ideas, and they also want to try and express their views on the world.

Of course, there are also some who just can't stand the begging of the gold owner, give you 35 million, and you go to make a drama - this is how Wang Lihong's "Love Notice" came about...

The most unbearable thing is that a pair of people who have nothing to do with the entertainment industry also come to join in the fun!

Many people think that film is an industrialized product, not a craft, since it is an industrialized product, the most important thing is not people, but capital, as long as a person can attract investment, someone must do this work.

The biggest feature of this gang is that they have money or can get money.

What else to say, isn't the director just sitting behind the monitor and shouting a click...

Then according to what you say, the bolt dog can also be a director, Wang Shengsheng means starting the film, and Wang Shuangsheng pauses.

All Nima in one shot!

......

Director Su's film directorial debut was also a big hit...

even beat "Hypnosis Master" - the latter's box office can exceed 300 million, and director Su's debut film won 450 million box office!

"This can only be said that the youth film market is still relatively hot, and themes like "Hypnosis Master" are a bit of a loss!"

Boss Lu comforted Xu Guangtou...

Xu Guangtou is very depressed, he is very interested in "Hypnosis Master", far above "Thai Embarrassment"!

The logic of the script of "Master of Hypnosis" is very appetizing to him, and he likes this kind of high-level narrative - he helped Chen Bait play "The Third Man" for free in 07...

However, the box office was thrown away by Mr. Su's "You at the Same Table"...

was very angry, so he came to Yunnan to find Lu Xiaoran to complain.

It also has the meaning of asking for advice.

After the article of the interview with Caijing came out, there was a paragraph in it: so much capital is frantically pouring in, it takes time to digest, and this cycle will take 1-2 years. So, there will be a lot of movies released in these two years...

There is another sentence: 'I am very optimistic that the box office market will be more than 50 billion next year!'

Many people in the industry are skeptical, but more people are in favor, because every word that Mr. Lu said before has been fulfilled...

In addition to the group of Internet cross-border players, Vice President Xu of Ahri Pictures publicly said at the Shanghai Film Festival, 'We will not hire professional screenwriters anymore', 'We have massive big data...'

You know, Ahri's main business is to open Taobao to sell clothes, if the network big data is really so useful, Ahri has such a large database, it has long replaced all the clothing designers in the world, why not do it?

Because design is an art, isn't it cinema?

Sand sculpture acts!

Returning to the topic, Xu Zheng then asked: "Are you saying that the suspense crime market is not optimistic?"

“... It's not that I'm not optimistic, but the box office ceiling is obvious, what type of movie did I debut?"

"Frontier Storm... Crime type!"

""Rescue Mr. Wu" won 280 million box office, and "Scorching Sun" 360 million... Is there a crime genre film that is higher than these two high-grossing films?"

"The current market tends to be entertainment, and in the face of the soaring market, selling out has become the first priority, so there will be so many youth film projects!" After a pause, Lu Xiaoran added: "However, I estimate that in another half a year, it will be difficult for youth films to reap a particularly high box office." ”

Xu Guangtou became interested: "How do you say it?"

"The plot is seriously homogeneous... Even if the audience is a leek, such a stubble harvest does not even have a rest period in between"

"Then you won't have a head start when you make a serious movie?"

“... Some works may not be so good at the box office, so don't you shoot them? So back to the work itself, the box office is just a plus, and it would be good if you didn't lose money to investors! "Hypnosis Master" costs 40 million, and with publicity, it's only 60 million, so we haven't lost money!"

Xu Guangtou got up and prepared to leave: "Alas, I really have to work hard, otherwise the box office will be snatched away by those people, and I will not be reconciled!"

“... You mean those outsiders aren't in the film industry at all?"

"Well, the box office of "Small Times 3" is almost 500 million"

"This score is two-fold, one is to show the maturity of the mainland film industry. Mature enough to direct, even if you haven't studied professionally, you can make a film that can be on the big screen and can be watched. On the contrary, if the film industry is immature and a film made by hand is unthinkable, it is unimaginable that it can be shot like this. ”

"The second is that the mainland film market is not bad. It proves that this is a market that can rely on popularity, traffic, and money. Just imagine, this is a money-losing business, who would go up the pole for a day to do it. ”

"I think it's very good, from the perspective of the long-term axis, the so-called classics are all big waves and sand, with enough sand, gold can be compared and scooped out!"

"And you really think they're directors?"

If in the process of film production, the director does not understand anything, everyone else helps him get any ideas, he has not directed the actors' performances, he has not participated in the creation of the script, and he has not provided advice on the photography and lighting, and in the end, the signature is signed, but in fact, he has not done a good job as a director.

Some are just a false name of a "director".

Orson Welles famously said, "No one can be called a director until he cuts it himself." ”

This also explains why so many directors in Hollywood can only be considered complete when they get the "final editing rights".

In a word: directors don't have professional barriers, but great directors have barriers.

The increase in cross-border directors has significantly improved the ability of executive directors.

"Okay, don't worry so much, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" is selling very well... This shows that the audience is more willing to support good work!"

"Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", the central character has become Yui Aragaki, this time it is the treasure theft she organized, contacting Macau Park, Kim Hye-so, Jun Ji-hyun, and of course, Lin Gengxin...

This series is all about stardom...

Tangtang led his best friend to show his face for a minute, Lao Cao, Gu Feng, Huang Bo, Xu Guangtou, and even Ning Hao all brushed their faces...

Lee Kwang-so took Song Ji-hyo and Kim Jong-kook to mix up their familiar faces...

The plot is a bit far-fetched, the pace of the team formation link in the front is too slow, the task link in the back is too perfunctory, the details are not enough, and the description of several reversals is not enough, which makes people feel very abrupt...

But the box office thief is good, winning 600 million box office in the first weekend, and South Korea and Japan also successfully reached the top...

It is estimated that there should be no big suspense in breaking the previous record!

“... Okay, I'm leaving, you can film with peace of mind!"

Xu bald his head and patted his buttocks, ready to leave...

"Don't, talk to me for a while!"

“... Huh?"

"Lao Duan is so boring, I don't even have a person to chat with, I've been living every two months like a year!"
