Chapter 99: I'm a Little Tired (4/6)
"Operation Red Sea?"
"Adaptation of the evacuation incident... You don't even know about such a big deal, do you?"
Yu Dong nodded: "Of course I know about this, how to shoot it?"
"The navy will do its best to help..."
"No, I mean the main plot, is it the evacuation or?"
“... The main plot is the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and of course the climax scene is a fierce battle with the local armed team..."
Lin Chaoxian looked through the information, and then frowned: "This story is very big!"
Lu Xiaoran nodded: "It's really big..."
After thinking about it, Director Lu gave a suggestion: "In a military action movie like this, it is the combat part that makes the audience pay for the movie, so it is better to make the combat part to the extreme, and don't spend too much effort to set up the clues of the literary drama." ”
In the original time and space, Lin Chaoxian was reborn through "Operation Mekong"...
His previous police films did not attract attention in the popularity of gunfights, but won depth by digging into the inner world of the police, but Hong Kong movies make people laugh when they think about it...
How can such a little marginal thinking of a Hong Kong policeman arouse the interest of mainland audiences?
The 80s, the most popular period of Hong Kong films, attracted attention with their funny genius and the intensity of the action, and without these elements, if Hong Kong films also tried to dig deep into the souls of the characters like European films, it would be a loss!
By the way, Lin Chaoxian's previous royal screenwriter was Wu Weilun, and later Lin Chaoxian changed screenwriters and found Feng Ji and Lin Mingjie, which led to "Operation Red Sea"...
That Wu Weilun is the screenwriter of "Monster Hunt 2" - we all know that "Monster Hunt 2" is much worse than "Monster Hunt"!
"I took it!"
"Okay, the screenwriter has found Feng Ji for you, with a tentative investment of 500 million, you can complete the unfinished action blockbuster dream in "Counter War"!"
“... Many... How much?"
Lin Chaoxian was scared to pee...
"Five hundred million... This kind of military genre film is to take money and smash it!"
“... I'm going to shoot it well!"
......
After Lin Chaoxian left, Yu Dong asked, "Such a big drama, do you dare to hand it over to Lin Chaoxian?"
Lu Xiaoran smiled and made him a cup of tea: "... Have you watched "Counter War"?"
"What do you say?"
"Have you really seen it? The movie was invested by Huayi!"
“... Originally, they wanted to cooperate with us, but Huayi gave a higher price!"
Lu Xiaoran nodded and picked up the cup: "If you have watched "Counter War", you will know why I asked Lin Chaoxian to direct "Operation Red Sea"!"
"How?"
"The biggest problem with the film "Counter War" is that it does not have any national consciousness, the character of Zhou Jielun, in the movie, lives in Beijing, but he has an inexplicable strange identity of the "International Security Agency", what kind of organization is this? But that movie is full of firepower!"
Lin Chaoxian's standard configuration: the tragic situation of a bullet sealing his throat with an arrow, blood splattering, and the scene of a car collision and subversion...
His favorite thing is to create an explosion effect with a grenade!
Lu Xiaoran continued: "But his biggest problem, or the biggest problem of Hong Kong directors, is that he has always blurred political sovereignty!"
"Ip Man 2" is also the most evil character is not the boxing king, but the foreign police officer who is corrupt, persecutes the newspaper, and connives. He has always represented the evil colonial forces in the film, but at the end he is handed over to another foreign police officer: 'You have disgraced the police!', and the whole movie does not face up to colonialism, what does this reflect?"
"The biggest problem of "Counter War", the wrong character positioning, the empty character setting, and the narrow feelings of Hong Kong films, are destined to make it difficult for such a movie to make big waves! In fact, as long as they embrace the main theme and have the right theme, he can amplify the action movies he has always dreamed of in the past to the point of no return!"
"The biggest problem of Hong Kong directors is that they have no national support and no aura in their works!"
"But as long as they embrace the market and let go, the strength is not weak!"
Yu Dong's eyes lit up: "That's right!"
Indeed, Hong Kong directors have worked their way up from the set, they have a good sense of the effects of the film, they know what to deliver to the audience, they know how to manipulate the industrial process of the film...
Therefore, even Chen Guohui, the director of a bad movie, can make a movie like "Heroes of Fire"!
Liu Weiqiang is rejuvenated with the help of "Chinese Captain"!
“... The main thing is, I'm too tired to shoot so many at once..."
Yu Dongsha nodded with a matter: "When you get married, you have to take care of yourself!"
"No, I mean I... Forget it, what do you like, think what you want!"
Yu Dong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and changed the topic: ""Dragon Hunting" is really good!"
“... Of course, 250 million, all actors took the initiative to reduce their salaries!"
"But I heard that the screening of "Never Expected" worked very well..."
"Where are they screening? Have you ever seen a movie with more than 20% of the screenings?"
Lu Xiaoran really didn't take the "Wanwan" movie seriously...
This kind of online drama fan movie itself has a smaller audience than ordinary movies, and the investment is not large, and the decline will be larger than that of ordinary movies...
The so-called screening, in essence, is afraid of being crushed to death by "Looking for the Dragon", and I want to raise the file but am embarrassed to say it directly, so I changed the concept and screened it on a large scale...
Facing the two 'big' films of "Sudden Star Movement" and "Looking for the Dragon"...
Ahem, the publicity of "Sudden Star Movement" is very strong - but it is doomed to the tragic ending of the fan movie: 98 million in the first week, a total box office of 150 million...
In order to promote "Sudden Star Movement", my sister Mi really worked hard, stirring up scandals, crazy hype!
As for "Looking for the Dragon", the big IP of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is here!
The beast is too confident in himself, and he has a billion-dollar box office at every turn, completely ignoring the fact that the audience doesn't recognize this movie so much...
Also, I didn't expect my peers to splash black water so much...
Well, "Wan Wan" was indeed hacked, and it wasn't that bad in itself.
Take a look at the movie review: miserable, this is also embarrassing to call a movie? I don't understand the language of movies at all, and I have no reverence for movies, being funny and foolish are two different things.
It is precisely with such films that the screen is flooded that everyone will continue to deepen everyone's impression of many bad domestic movies. The existence of bad movies itself is reasonable, but the team that is not short of resources has produced such a film and television garbage with no plot and no picture quality, which makes people wonder how much sense of mission there is for the work under the purpose of purely making money.
directly turned "Wan Wan" into a bad movie...
One thing to say, although "Wanwan: Journey to the West" is not exciting, it barely passes, compared to "Breakup Master", "Villain Angel" and the like, it is very conscientious!
But this buddy actually collided with "Looking for the Dragon"...
Producers of "Looking for the Dragon": Orange Film, Guangguang Media, Bona Films, Co-distributors: Wanda, Jinyi, Dadi, Hengdian...
Unite all the forces that can be united!
How do you fight him?
Not to mention that the quality of "Soul Seeking" itself is good, even if it is a piece of, it can completely abuse "Never Expected"!
