Chapter 3: Each Has His Own Plan (3/5)
Havoc in Tianzhu": The special effects are too scummy, the twists are too hard, and the forced laughter makes you fall into the dilemma of whether I should laugh now, forcibly sensationalizing, there is a plot dedicated to selling meat, the villain is stupid to death, the plot is incoherent, there will be a fight, a dance, a fight, a dance, and finally a forced sale of feelings.
This script is written exactly according to the template of "Thai Embarrassment", a road movie comedy.
The problem is that although "Thai Embarrassment" is a road comedy, the more laughing points are due to the sense of dislocation caused by the identities of the two protagonists...
Orange's "India", the protagonist Shen Teng is a public intellectual, and he yearns for all kinds of Indian propaganda on the Internet, and the other male protagonist, Zhang Yu, is doing business all year round, dealing with Indians a lot, and knowing a lot of things, Shen Teng followed him to India for a tour, and then, separated...
After many tribulations, he was finally found by Zhang Yu and the police...
There's a lot of over-the-top lines in it, like 'I'm glad I'm not a woman!'...
Anyway, with Shen Teng's cheapness, even if he suffered a lot of inhuman treatment in India, most of the audience would think that he deserved it, and then laughed...
"Havoc in Tianzhu" is really not, the broken movie Douban gives 4 points to it, which can be regarded as lifting it!
Baby, can be regarded as a template for the male protagonist of entertainment literature - in addition to his appearance: after his debut, he was crowned by a bunch of self-media as a broad avenue of "poor rural children working hard all the way to counterattack the entertainment industry";
Later, when he was betrayed by his family, the public still idealized that he would divorce decisively, devote himself to his career, and rely on his directorial debut to counterattack, and the box office was popular all the way but his ex-wife couldn't get a penny, this is the correct way to open the entertainment literary male protagonist.
But that's the way it is, "Havoc in Tianzhu" is a very undesirable film.
It doesn't matter if you divorce him or not...
Whether a person is a good person or not has nothing to do with whether his movies are good or not...
The box office of the movie in the next few days, the truth is similar to what Lu Xiaoran predicted, "Journey to the West" dominated the single-day box office list for three days, and then abdicated to "Sunshine Sisters"...
360 million on the first day, 210 million on the next day, and 140 million at the box office on the third day...
This is definitely not the box office trend of normal commercial films!
On the other hand, "Sunshine Sisters", 150 million on the first day, 180 million the next day, and 210 million on the third day...
There are still a bunch of people washing the floor: Is "Journey to the West" really bad? It's that you don't understand it at all!
Zhen Nima is speechless, a commercial film, and people can't understand it?
According to this theory: Is "Legend of the Gods" really bad? It's that you don't understand it at all!
Or is "Dream Showbiz" really bad? It's that you don't understand it at all!
(I like "The Demon Chapter" a lot, and I have never had any resistance to this kind of dark gothic movie, and I still suspect that "The Demon Chapter" has been hacked, of course, "The New King of Comedy" is really a bad movie... Let's be objective, if these two works have nothing to do with Zhou Xingchi, what would you say?)
Uncle Nose's "Kung Fu Yoga", the Douban score on the first day was 6.5 points!
Publicity and marketing focus on 'word-of-mouth counterattack'...
The score on the first day was 6.5, and then it fell all the way, barely maintaining a score of 5.6, which can also promote word-of-mouth counterattack?
The reputation of the eldest brother is really not covered, even Lu's mother went to the cinema with her in-laws to watch "Kung Fu Yoga"...
"Kung Fu Yoga" did counterattack "Journey to the West"...
By the way, many people on Weibo praised Lu Xiaoran for having a conscience, saying that he was right not to vote for "Fu Demon Chapter"!
It's really not that he doesn't want to vote - the cost of "Fu Demon Chapter" is 440 million plus 120 million for publicity and distribution, and the final box office is 1.652 billion...
Barely recouping...
He was not satisfied with this result!
Generally speaking, if the net profit of a movie with an investment of more than 300 million does not reach 200 million, it is a commercial failure!
The cost of time and energy is very large, give you 5 or 600 million, you tinker to the end, only earn a few hundred and 10 million, and it took more than a year, what do you think the boss will think, such a large amount, you just do financial management, at least 7 to 10 points a year, that is, you can earn 3000-50 million if you put money in the bank!
There is a better choice, why should you invest in "Fu Demon Chapter"?
This year's Spring Festival file is a bit complicated, anyway, on the fifth day of release, the first ranked "Sunshine Sisters" and the second ranked "Kung Fu Yoga" did not open much gap...
Orange's film scheduling is a bit wrong, and such a small volume of "Sunshine Sisters" should not be placed in the Spring Festival file
……
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it is still in Chashan.
Lu Xiaoran returned home with the fish bucket, and then... There are two girls sitting in the living room...
Is there a wrong way to enter the house?
Do you want to go in again?
"Ahem..."
The two girls turned their heads, it was actually Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi, and they hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law... Happy New Year!"
“… Thank you and happy new year..."
Brother-in-law...
Didn't you call me director before?
Tangtang came out of the kitchen with a fruit bowl and was surprised when she saw her husband: "... You're back from fishing?"
"It's too cold to stretch out your hand... No more fishing today!"
After putting away the equipment, Lu Xiaoran took off his shoes and changed into a pair of cotton slippers: "Why are you here?"
"I was filming "Drunk Linglong" in Hengdian... It just so happens that there is no play for me today..."
Liu Yifei continued: "Let's just come to pay a New Year's greeting to Sister Tangtang and Uncle and Aunt..."
"I have a heart..."
Lu Xiaoran was about to go upstairs, and Tangtang asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'll go to the study for a while!"
“… You talk to them, and I'll go to the restaurant to order!"
"Where's Mom and Dad?"
"Yesterday I left for New Zealand!"
All right...
It's a guest from afar, Lu Xiaoran has to have a sense of ownership, and she must satisfy the two girls!
Tangtang left, Lu Xiaoran sat on the side of the sofa, pondered for a while, and then started a topic: "Shi Shi, you joined the crew, didn't you follow?"
Liu Shishi shook her head: "Sometimes she visits the class, she has her own job." ”
"Then will you two live together?"
“… Stay in one piece!"
"Wow..."Lu Xiaoran whistled and lost a charm skill, and then, the three of them reached the great harmony of life...
Well, pure.
What he asked was: "Will the crew invite or not make a cameo?"
Liu Shishi nodded: "... Sometimes, but she doesn't want to make a cameo, unless it's a play where I'm also involved in investing..."
Lu Xiaoran nodded...
After these two young ladies lit up their business skills, they caught up with the capital boom, and the money they made was enviable!
Of course, there is no comparison with Brother-in-law Lu - "The Martian", Lu Xiaoran personally shared 35% of the account, director + starring + screenwriter...
Liu Shishi then asked: "Brother-in-law, when will "New World" be filmed?"
“… I'm going to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, when are you free?"
"Will it be okay in half a month?"
"I don't have an opinion, you talk to Zhixi and let her arrange your role..."
"Well, I'll get in touch with Sister Chen... By the way, brother-in-law, I heard that you are going to make an English film?"
Lu Xiaoran glanced at her and asked, "What? Do you want to enter Hollywood?"
"It's not me, it's not me..."
