Chapter 20: The Right and Wrong of People (3/5)
In the first half of the year, Chinese films were suppressed by "Avatar" to the point of losing temper.
Lu Chuan publicly said on Weibo: "This is a complete defeat that Chinese filmmakers have collectively witnessed and collectively convinced. This may not only be a war of films, but in essence a spiritual connection between American filmmakers and our national film industry to the Chinese audience; this is a sad thing, and it is a fact that there is nothing to be done. β
Ning Caishen, Cui Yongyuan, and even Han Shao said 'Avatar made Chinese films completely bow down...'
By extension, 'Let's stop making Chinese movies, just open up the market and let Hollywood movies come in!'
NetEase has engaged in an investigation of "why China can't make "Avatar", some people say that Chinese directors lack imagination, some people say that it is a system problem, some people say that there is a problem with Chinese education, some people analyze that Chinese films lack pure feelings and avoid the sublime, and some people think that it is a lack of spiritual freedom...
In this context, Shangfeng especially needs a domestic movie to boost the audience's confidence in domestic movies!
After all, the State Council promulgated the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Prosperity and Development of the Film Industry", indicating that Shangfeng should vigorously develop domestic films.
Our government likes to erect examples, support them vigorously, and then tell everyone that you all have to learn from it.
In the previous life, the typical movie called "Tangshan Earthquake"...
This time, "The Big Man" is ahead of the game!
Maybe this thing is not an orange image, or maybe it's not the original plan of Golden Shield Film and Television, it's really caught up...
The right time, the right place, and the right people...
Here we go!
As a result, as of July 8th, "Big Man" has been released for 20 days, with a cumulative box office success of more than 500 million, and a single-day box office of 9 million...
Before the release of "The Great Earthquake", maybe another 100 million or so will be earned...
......
As we all know, following the trend and grabbing stars is a common problem in Chinese movies, or movies all over the world!
Hollywood is the same, often a theme is on fire, and everyone swarms up and directly kills the theme...
For example, Hollywood has been popular for a while epic movies, and the six major ones have done it, big scenes, big stars, and then countless people hit the streets...
Back in the mainland, after the success of "Big Man", a bunch of movies of the same type were established, what "No. 2 Man", "Little Man", "I'm really not a big man"...
This doesn't matter, just like after the success of "Stone" and "Racing", a bunch of movies under the banner of "crazy" were released, for example, after "Crazy Stupid Thief" and "People in Embarrassment" became popular, there was a "Car in Embarrassment", which is useless, the audience is not stupid!
However, suddenly a bunch of people scolded "Big Man" on the Internet, and the Douban score dropped from 7.6 points to 6.8 points...
"I filmed a four-way street, serious for a while and serious for a while, and the plot is like a playhouse!"
"Mediocre to the extreme, thanks for letting me sleep 1 hour more!"
"Bad movie, the routine of the 80s, it's still in use now!"
There's even a bunch of people saying 'Hollywood has Avatar and we have The Big Man!'
'The No. 1 "Avatar" in global film history, the No. 1 "Big Man" in mainland film history, sure enough, Chinese characteristics (?? δΉ?? δΉ?? οΌβ
This kind of remark is particularly annoying, and it is really black!
Obviously, it was hacked...
Nonsense, you've been the box office champion for twenty days, and you still haven't given way?
Didn't watch "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2", "Yangtze River No. 7 Loves the Earth", and "Seven Little Arhats" waiting in line for release?
Also, there are many popular people, and the box office of "Big Man" is already the first in the history of Chinese films, which also makes "Big Man" a topic of conversation among audiences recently.
Whether it's the media or the audience, everyone wants to know, what makes a mid-budget film a "blockbuster of the year"?
Lu Xiaoran doesn't care at all, "Yangtze River No. 7 Loves the Earth" is a cartoon after all, before "The Return of the Great Sage", none of the domestic animations can be played in particular!
By the way, "The Return of the Great Sage", Tian Xiaopeng should already be looking for investment.
Keep an eye out for it, and if you find an orange image, sign him.
As for "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2", this is a movie that fried cold rice, and it hasn't been fried yet, compared with "Three Smiling Talented Girls", the only advantage of this movie is probably that Huang Xiaoming is a little more handsome than Guo Degang...
But it's also limited.
......
"33 Days of Broken Love" was filmed in Zhongguancun - the sponsorship of this movie is as high as 32 million, all of which are filled with daily scenes, office computers are all Lenovo, and Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaobei's mobile phones are Meizu mobile phones.
Even the red wine that Da Lao Wang drank was implanted in advertising, and the high-end restaurant where he ate was also implanted...
Really, there is "Time and Space Traveler" in front, but all the romance films starring Lu Xiaoran and Tangtang, some manufacturers are holding checks and begging for implantation.
Therefore, during the filming, everyone was also in a good mood - the movie was finished while eating hot pot and singing!
"Big Man" has not reduced its decline at all, although the single-day box office has fallen to less than 10 million, but the high-definition version on the Internet has come out, more and more people have joined the discussion, and the media will certainly not let go of Lu Xiaoran easily.
It's just that the filming of "33 Days of Broken Love" and the later stage of "Lonely Agent" really can't find time to hold any press conference.
At most, thank the audience on Weibo and thank the fans for their support.
It was delayed until July 20th, when there were still a few big night scenes left in "33 Days of Broken Love", and the editing of "Lone Agent" was also completed, and Lu Xiaoran found time to hold a media Q&A at the filming site of "33 Days".
At this time, the cumulative box office of "Big Man" has reached 580 million, which is more than 100 million more than "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" - it should not be so high, but it is a pity that the newly released movies are not competitive one by one, so that many stocks would rather brush up on the second and third brushes...
......
There were too many media, and the long guns and short guns went crazy in front of Lu Xiaoran...
"Calm down, everyone, let's come one by one!"
Chen Zhixi was temporarily brought in to be the host of the scene.
"You come first!"
"May I ask Director Lu, what do you think of the box office popularity of "Big Man" in the film market?"
"Very surprised, I really didn't expect the movie to be so popular, you should know that our initial forecast was 200 million box office. β
"Then what do you think is the reason why the movie is so popular?"
Lu Xiaoran thought for a while and said: "I think the market has improved, and also, our movie captures the audience's viewing experience, the film is fast-paced, the audience didn't spend a minute distracting when watching this movie, the type is clear, and the story is very complete." β
"Then do you think "Big Man" can be compared to "Avatar"?"
β... The types are different, the costs are different, there is no comparison, and Hollywood does not have phenomenal movies like "Avatar" every year, and it will take several years, or even more than ten years, to release one..."
Lu Xiaoran's attitude is very modest, and he is not at all proud after "Big Man" won the film history record.
It's not just him, even the orange image is low-key.
There's no way, the gun shoots the first bird, let's keep a low profile if you pick it up...
But sometimes, even if you want to keep a low profile, right and wrong will still take the initiative to come to the door.
Xiao Ying, a professor at Tsinghua University, bombarded Lu Xiaoran and "Big Man", believing that this movie is not nutritious, and it can get such a high box office, which is a bad demonstration of the current cultural industry.
The reason why "Big Man", which has no aesthetic value and artistic content, has won so much box office is because the level of national appreciation is low to a certain extent, and such a movie is meaningless for the improvement of national quality, and even has a negative impact.
So, a reporter at the scene asked about Xiao Ying's criticism, of course Lu Xiaoran knew about it, he actually didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of noisy voice, the movie was a big hit, there must be a big sell, that is, the big bad movie "Fuchun Mountain Residence" is also meaningful to Chinese films - it proves for the first time the importance of the second- and third-tier box office to movies!
However, he couldn't answer directly, but pretended to hear it for the first time, and asked rhetorically, "Who is Xiao Ying?"
