Chapter 220: Screening (4/5)
"We know that Mr. Wang Zhiwen rarely attends the publicity, so what makes you... Do you have any particular confidence in The Wind?"
"No... I often participate in some movie promotions..."
Lu Xiaoran couldn't help laughing, and Wang Zhiwen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"The point of her sentence is to ask if you have confidence in "The Wind"..."
Lu Xiaoran took the microphone: "I'll answer!"
"We are very confident in "The Wind"!"
Next, we talked about some views on the characters, and there were also questions from reporters.
Almost everyone was asking Lu Xiaoran, because he said '300 million box office'...
"I think the main theme must be something that someone likes, it depends on whether you can shoot it, there are a bunch of main theme films in the United States, "Legend No. 45", "The Fall of Olypis 1.2", and even "First Blood" and the like, are all American-style main theme films, with a good box office and word of mouth, and I am ready to remake "Lin Hai Xueyuan" in two years. ”
"I'm not kidding, I really have this plan, outwit Weihu Mountain, how interesting!"
""The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" was scolded for using foreign actors? This is quite normal, there is no such thing, Mel Gibson is such a big name, born in the United States, American nationality, and later moved to Australia, known as the Australian Star, filming "Patriot" was sprayed by a bunch of Americans... Why did the American hero find an Australian to play it? "The Iron Lady" was also played by an American!"
"Immigrants are their freedom, no one can control it, many people think it's ironic and freedom, after all, it's "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China"..."
"I won't comment on it, I won't immigrate anyway..."
......
Five o'clock in the evening, Xingmei International Cinema.
A group of people gathered at the ticket counter and exchanged their numbers for tickets to "The Wind"...
Zhou Liming was originally in line, he is a more influential film critic in the mainland.
"The Wind" actually invited him to watch the test screening, but he didn't go...
Probably because I don't want to eat the food that came to me!
Seeing this scene, I was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "... How did you do that?"
"We first placed an order on the orange movie ticket, and then notified us by SMS and gave it to the theater, which can be redeemed with the number!"
“... Is it convenient?"
"It's okay, it's mostly cheap!"
"Cheap?"
"That's right, we grabbed tickets in oranges, you can buy a ticket for 19 yuan 9, and you need at least 40 yuan to buy a ticket in the cinema!"
“... Oranges?"
"It's a company that specializes in selling movie tickets, which is pretty good..."
Zhou Liming still wants to ask something, and he has already started to check the ticket...
......
Ticket supplement, to put it bluntly, the producer takes money to buy the box office!
Before the movie is released, the film company will set a minimum ticket price, which is generally between 20 yuan and 40 yuan, but generally the cinema will definitely be higher than the minimum ticket price when selling tickets...
A ticket priced at 40 yuan, you can buy it for 20 yuan, and the remaining 20 yuan is jointly subsidized by the film party and the platform - most of them are actively subsidized by the film party!
In order to achieve the effect of rising box office and moviegoers, word-of-mouth, and then leverage the market and win larger box office figures.
This is usually the case only for big-budget and under-publicized films.
"After the End" invested 20 million yuan as a ticket supplement, which is the first film to make a large amount of ticket compensation, because the centralized promotion period is short.
"The Wind" invested 8 million...
There is no way, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" has an absolute advantage in film scheduling and ticket prices, and "The Wind" is going to be killed quickly!
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" can be priced at 100 yuan, and it makes no sense that "The Wind" is not allowed to reduce the price...
Anyway, the theater won't be harmed in any way...
Zhou Liming couldn't figure it out, why did the movie "The Wind" do this?
You must know that the investment of 8 million will take at least 24 million to return to the cost!
Unless they have absolute confidence in the movie!
However, he didn't have time to think about it, because the movie had already started.
The big screen went black, and then a big orange jumped out, and then turned into the LOGO icon of the orange image.
As soon as the screen turned, the intro list was listed:
"Producer: Lu Xiaoran, Zeng Guangxian, Huang Zhongjun, Director: Chen Guofu, Screenwriter: Chen Guofu, Lu Xiaoran..."
At the beginning of the film, the plane breaks through the clouds, and the mountains and rivers crisscross the title of the film - the sound of the wind;
Then, You Qing stepped on the street, and the flow of people was bustling.
Looking at this big atmosphere and big battle, you know that this thing is definitely expensive!
The movie officially begins:
With the killing of the lobbyist sent by Wang Jingwei at the beginning, it is a series of assassinations organized by the underground party in the past few years, and a number of high-ranking Japanese officials and traitors of Wang's puppet government were eliminated as soon as possible.
Who is the murderer? How should the puppet government of Japan and Wang deal with it? Who are the spies among them?
The background of the big era has been explained in the opening 5 minutes, leaving these questions throughout the film.
Little people have appeared one after another, from torture to extract confessions, to setting up a bureau to catch "ghosts", to investigating people in secret rooms.
In 16 minutes, all the characters were gathered in Qiuzhuang!
Limited space, established time schedule, definite number of people, uncertain human hearts.
The plot tension formed constitutes a tense and exciting spy war drama under the suspenseful representation of "The Wind".
Zhou Liming's favorite movie has a strong contrast of light and shadow.
To take the simplest example, when the five people gathered in the lobby of the palace for the first time and sat around to crack the information, Takeda suddenly appeared, using the method of going from the dark to the light.
The use of this detail, with the plot, is that the five people who were detained were dissatisfied with Wang Tianxiang's approach and were in a mood. Takeda came from the shadows and only conveyed a message that this game was arranged by him, and in the shadows, he was the one who controlled the life and death of this game and 5 people.
Frankly speaking, he always felt that Takeda didn't act well!
A young Japanese officer, to be pressed against two older, stronger, and older Chinese officers, should be stronger, sharper, paranoid and more terrifying in personality and intelligence.
Zhou Liming always felt that Wang Zhiwen was pressing the play!
Wang Tianxiang played by Wang Zhiwen is a cool official of Wang's puppet regime, very stylish, but too stylish, all the tricks are over...
Whether it's his appearance, his doggy, or his fur coat, Tonima is unforgettable!
Until the scene where Takeda measured Li Ningyu's size...
Lu Xiaoran wore a decent kimono, sat on a chair, and looked at Li Ningyu coldly:
"Your boyfriend is drama actor Liu Linzong?"
"Yes!"
"Haven't you seen each other in almost a week?"
"Yes!"
"He's in the gendarmerie. ”
"What is he doing in the gendarmerie?"
Lu Xiaoran asked rhetorically: "What does the gendarmerie do?"
And then there's a lot of insults...
Zhou Liming was a little surprised, not surprised by Lu Xiaoran or Li Bingbing's acting skills, but surprised by the scale of this play!
There is actually a positive strong bao drama - a gift film?
a corpse floating in a pool of blood;
thin needles stuck in the head;
Straight up and straight to kill himself...
Electric chairs and torture are even more commonplace.
The most shocking thing is that Gu Xiaomeng was forced to ride on a thick hemp rope and let people pull and rub back and forth - and then there was blood gushing there...
