Chapter 57: No One Knows Movies Better Than Me (2/5)
Li Mo contacted Lu Xiaoran, of course, for the promotion of the middle and late stages.
Carry forward the attitude that it is advisable to chase the poor bravely!
This year's Spring Festival is February 19th, and it will not be until February 28th that a Hollywood blockbuster will be introduced into China, and it is also an animated film "Super Marines", Lantern Festival, and there will be a "Jupiter Ascending" on March 6th to enter the domestic market...
"Jupiter Ascending", the new work of the famous Hollywood Wachowski sisters after "Cloud Atlas".
The sisters have never had a blockbuster work except for "The Matrix" to make money.
American Jiang Wen is obviously a niche director, but he was blown to the sky!
Artist!
Let the commercial director do the money-making work, and the artist will do the work - no one knows film better than me...
Ahem, back to the topic.
How do you keep it hot?
Li Mo proposed to launch the "Tang Detective" feature on Kuaishou: "Kuaishou has nearly 200 million registered users, with 10 million daily active users, and users are concentrated in third, fourth and fifth-tier cities, which is a market that we have been ignoring, do you know that 60% of the box office of "Macau Fengyun 2" comes from third- and fourth-tier cities?"
“... Yes, you can arrange it..."
Damn, Zhang Yiming is doing hair, I want to watch the little sister dance!
Well, the launch of Douyin is because Zhang Yiming noticed in 2016 that the total video consumption time of today's Toutiao users exceeded that of pictures and texts, and then made up his mind to make Toutiao videos, and then in September, he gambled on short videos with all resources and made Douyin...
Now, he is still busy running today's headlines and connotation jokes...
"Also, an interview with Time..."
"When?"
"Tomorrow?"
"Okay!"
......
On February 26th, the eighth day of the first lunar month, the market fell significantly, there was a total box office of 230 million the day before, today it is only 190 million, and the single-day box office of "Tang Detective" has also fallen to 120 million...
It seems that 3 billion is out of play...
The popularity of movies is limited, and it is impossible to occupy hot spots all the time, especially commercial movies!
There will always be new works released to divert the public's attention, not to mention that the most popular movie recently is not a few movies, but Mango Channel's "The Legend of Wu Datou"...
Originally, it was "The Legend of Wu Xiong", but later due to 'technical reasons', only the headshot remained...
This drama...
According to CCTV: Fan Xiaoye is also the starring, producer, and casting, and has dedicated all his artistic attainments - good looks!
However, Lu Xiaoran's popularity has always been high, and he has an Oscar to touch porcelain!
"Lu Xiaoran is full of confidence in the Oscars!"
"Lu Xiaoran said that she didn't care much about the Oscars, just be yourself..."
"Lu Xiaoran... No one knows movies better than I do..."
has been active on the hot search...
Anyway, after this Oscar, he will be honest for at least ten months - "Operation Mekong" is scheduled for November 20, and the first cannon of the Chinese New Year...
It's so annoying...
Of course, none of these words were said by him, they were all arranged by the marketing team...
Naturally, there is an Oscar that can touch porcelain, so why not touch it?
Finally, on February 28, Lu Xiaoran posted on Weibo: "I just received an interview with "Time", chatted about Chinese movies, and the words of the family, I hope I won't be sprayed by others then!"
The first reaction, wow, Mr. Lu posted on Weibo!
The second reaction,, "Time"!
The third reaction, what did you say?
What did Lu Xiaoran say?
It's just about the differences between Eastern and Western values and cultures...
"Many people ask me why I don't go to Hollywood to develop, I really don't think there is any need to go to Hollywood, the Chinese market is rising rapidly, and within ten years, it will definitely become the largest film market, why go to Hollywood?
"Hollywood itself is in the United States, so it naturally stands on the Western standpoint, and they can't understand many Eastern values, although it advertises pluralism, everyone knows that it is based on white culture as the mainstream! Since it takes white culture as the mainstream, then I will definitely cater to them when I make movies..."
"I don't like to cater to me, I have more resources and better development space in China!"
"Censorship, freedom, you Western media are really naturally arrogant, I have already made it very clear, every country has its own taboos... By the way, this passage I said was cut, then I repeat, this is not freedom, this is a matter of culture, respect, if you want to sell films in China, if you want to make money from the Chinese, then you should respect these ..."
"Oscar... There shouldn't be much of a chance, unless Oscar wants to shock the world once!"
"Of course, I don't think my film is any worse... I don't think I'm not the best director!"
Unless Oscar wants to shock the world again...
When was the last time?
80th Oscar, "No Country for Old Men"!
The movie "No Country for Old Men" is very politically incorrect.
It cannot be said that it is a criticism of society, because it negates everything positive!
If it is politically correct, can this movie win the best picture?
"No Country for Old Men" is bizarre and bizarre, it was the most incompatible with the Oscar temperament that year, but it was given to it.
That year, there were "Michael Clayton", "Juno", and "Atonement", all of which could be given to the best picture, and no one would have imagined that the best picture and best director would be awarded to this film noir.
The message released by this film is: The Coen brothers can win the best picture, what are you afraid of?
But "Gravity" is not good, Lu Xiaoran cannot win the most important award, because in the concept of Americans, American movies are the first in the world, and the Oscar Best Film should naturally belong to American movies!
Films from other countries can compete for the best foreign language film - although you are one level lower than the best film, it is already the best film outside of American movies.
There is and only "Life is Beautiful" is an exception - of course, it still didn't win the best picture, but it won the best actor...
From the very beginning, "Gravity" has nothing to do with Best Picture...
As for Best Director, the Guild Award went to Alejandro, the director of "Birdman"...
No matter what, Lu Xiaoran still went to Los Angeles with Tangtang to attend the upcoming Oscars, accompanied by Ding Yanlai, the special effects director of "Gravity"...
Of course, there are also a bunch of people from the company, even including a few people from the "Detective Chinatown" publicity team...
Before leaving, Lu Xiaoran said while sorting out his suit: "Don't be too eager, I said it, there is not much chance!"
“... There's a chance to do that, too!"
“... That is, for the first time in film history!"
Nima, a group of people surrounded Lu Xiaoran, making him a little embarrassed...
And the photography team!
"You're all here, what should I do over there in "Tang Detective"?"
"It's okay, "Tang Detective" is one with you!"
