Chapter 74: Comparison (2/4)
Ah Mou is very important!
Not only can he film and ensure a good box office return, but most importantly, he can also play performances - the Songcheng acting team has cooperated with him and made a lot of new things.
The theme park that is still under construction also has new performance content - "Flooded Chentangguan", "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother"...
Anyway, around the gods, there are a bunch of shows to do!
The chief director is Amou...
Make the best use of it...
You see, Ah Mou is idle and bored, and has engaged in the impression series, the first large-scale performance in China that integrates mountains and rivers, and also engaged in Turandot, which are all top in the industry...
Of course Zhong Lifang knows the importance of Ah Mou!
But...
Frankly speaking, Ah Mou's box office ability is just like that...
Put "Shadow" in next year's National Day file, and the possibility of winning the box office championship is relatively small.
On the other hand, "Wushuang" - the box office has broken 2.8 billion, and it is still growing slowly...
Word-of-mouth and gimmicks are enough, the second part is a predictable success, and there is no need to change the schedule...
It's embarrassing!
If you are undecided, look for Lao Lu!
This is the accepted solution to the problem up and down the orange!
......
Lu Xiaoran has been staying at home these days, either reading books or watching movies, except for a fixed iron, he has hardly gone out...
I didn't even go to the first issue of my daughter-in-law's "Anxiety Inn" - Tangtang and they found Lao Hu instead.
Zhong Lifang found Lu Xiaoran in the screening room on the ground.
High-definition projectors and corresponding curtains and sounds, etc...
It's all top-of-the-line equipment...
Lu Xiaoran is watching a movie...
Zhong Lifang sat down directly next to Lu Xiaoran and watched "Blade Runner 2049" with him, before asking, "Why are you so idle lately?"
"I'm charging..."
"Watching a movie is also a charge?"
"Of course... It's a good learning process for me to learn more about the styles and works of other directors!"
When the two came to the living room, Lu Xiaoran washed her face first, and then sighed: "I really underestimated Hollywood!"
“... How?"
"In the 80s, people made "Alien", "Blade Runner", "ET Alien", "Star Trek"... In the sixties, there was "2001: A Space Odyssey"..."
The big Hollywood studio system officially died out in the 60s, and fantasy art, represented by science fiction, began to gain momentum at the end of the 60s.
If you look at the history of American cinema, the 60s belong to Stanley Kubrick, the master of cinema. Among them, the influence of "2001: A Space Odyssey" in science fiction films has long been self-evident.
Although the special effects of 1968's "Planet of the Apes" are clumsy, they are already hinting to the audience: The door to fantasy is about to open, are you ready?
In the 70s of the 20th century, the era of Hollywood's "blockbusters" officially came, and the "Jaws", "Contact of the Third Kind" and "Star Wars" series provided a broader space for film production and design in the promotion of special effects technology.
Although it was still dominated by physical effects, fantasy art began to enter filmmaking in the form of conceptual design.
More and more films are no longer satisfied with shooting real or historical urban spaces, and science fiction and fantasy films have become the "new canvas" for directors and art directors.
The eighties of the twentieth century were a marked period of economic prosperity in the United States, and heroic action-adventure movies became the darlings of entertainment blockbusters.
Using the newly upgraded special effects technology, "Han Solo" of "Star Wars" has become the absolute protagonist of Spielberg's "Indiana Jones" series after changing his costume.
George Lucas continued to lead his concept art team with Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, but all sci-fi films were completely overshadowed by Ridley Scott's seminal masterpiece Blade Runner.
This film is set in the decaying and dark futuristic industrial city of Los Angeles in 2019, giving birth to the genres of "cyberpunk" and "futuristic film noir", and it is also a typical science fiction film representative that alludes to the contradictions of social development and explores the problems of future cities through film architecture.
"Blade Runner" has brought science fiction to another new climax!
The 90s of the 20th century was another prolific decade.
Fantasy art is brought into a new world of dark fairy tales by Edward Scissorhands.
With the rapid development of computer technology, special effects technology has blossomed in "Jurassic Park" and "The Matrix".
Stan Winston's physics effects were first made in the '80s in The Terminator and in the '90s in the technical race to "resurrect" dinosaurs.
Of course, James Cameron's "Titanic", the leader of the special effects industry, laid the foundation for the destruction of Hollywood in the overseas market in the 21st century, and also laid the foundation for the "science fiction nuclear bomb" "Avatar" in the next decade.
Into the 21st century...
Everything is spinning in place - what's the most popular right now?
Marvel Dafa - Tell the story of superheroes one after another by filming TV series!
......
Lu Xiaoran really thought that Hollywood was nothing remarkable before...
You can shoot Marvel, a routine thing, and one day the audience will get tired of it!
Recently, I made up for "Blade Runner", "Star Wars", "Alien", "Star Trek"...
The whole person was confused!
Imagine that people have been playing this thing since the seventies and eighties of the last century!
No, Star Trek is from the sixties, originally a TV series, later changed to a movie...
"Suddenly I feel that the business model we are playing now is exactly what Hollywood played decades ago!"
Zhong Lifang frowned: "So what?"
"I used to think that Hollywood was nothing remarkable, and even thought that once Chinese films were industrialized, it would be a very casual thing to surpass them..."
"No wonder those guys are obsessed with Hollywood... It's awesome!"
And it's not the director alone, it's the power of the entire industry chain...
In the nineties, Hollywood imported blockbusters entered the country...
Really, dimensionality reduction strike!
Zhong Lifang shook her head: "Now Hollywood movies don't matter what blockbusters or big movies, an IP is a TV series - the main thing is that the times have changed, in the past, American moviegoers learned how to dress up, how to pick up girls, and how to live a fashionable life through movies, and the emergence of the Internet in the new century has completely changed Hollywood's business model, and now the proportion of people who go to the cinema every week to watch movies is less than one percent of 1969." ”
"The development of technology has brought diversity to entertainment, and movies are no longer the only ones!"
Lu Xiaoran agreed with this point of view, nodded, and then asked her, "... Why are you coming to me?"
"The matter of the finalization of "Shadow"..."
“... Let's put it in next year's Chinese New Year stall!"
"Will the competition be too fierce?"
Lu Xiaoran smiled: "You think too much, next year's Lunar New Year stalls will be very cold!"
