"It's very important, without the box office success of "Border", I would not have the right to express myself at all!"

"Not to mention anything else, the production + publicity of "Rescue Mr. Wu" exceeds 60 million, do you think there will be investors willing to give money for a novice to operate?"

Then it led to the second question: "The box office of "Mei Lanfang" is not as good as "Rescue Mr. Wu", what do you want to say?"

"Then "Mei Lanfang" won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Film, why didn't you say it?"

"There are some academic directors who think that art is more important, that film is their way of expression, and that they focus on the film itself, not the box office. This kind of director pursues the depth and ideology of the story, but does not pay much attention to its entertainment. This is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the ordinary audience or the box office. For example, I like "The Shawshank Redemption" very much, many people say that most of the plot of this movie is foreshadowing except for the sublimation at the end, just like eating a stomach of bitter gourd and finally giving you a jelly bean, although it is extremely sweet, but it is difficult for people to be willing to experience the feeling of a belly of bitter gourd again. So the audience didn't buy it. ”

"Visual effects blockbusters and commercial films are the mainstay of the box office, and this is basically the case in the world's main box office. It is impossible to change because of a certain director, a good script plus a passable director plus actors who are not very good can basically produce a popcorn that the audience likes. ”

......

There has been a topic around Lu Xiaoran over the years: he is not from the director department!

A person who learns acting, is a main actor, changes his career to become a director, and the movies he makes are selling better than the other, which is a lot of whispers from insiders...

Some people even said openly on the Internet, 'No matter how much Lu Xiaoran's movie sells, he is just a businessman who doesn't understand movies.' ’

Does it have to be a director from the academy to get a high box office to meet the cognition?

Studying at Tsinghua University can guarantee that you will make a lot of money?

Lu Xiaoran has always believed that his professional background is just an identity, and he can neither guarantee the quality of the movie, nor the box office.

Kubrick was not a professional, he was a magazine photographer;

Nolan was not born in a professional class, but a scholar of literature;

The current college background is still a fig leaf, Director Bi and Director Teng teamed up to tear off the fig leaf of the college with two movies - one is called "Pure Heart, Dream Building Entertainment Circle", and the other is called "Liuhai Fortress";

It's as funny as the uselessness of reading.

Bill Gates succeeded, he dropped out of Harvard, and many Harvard students who didn't drop out didn't succeed as well, and concluded, Harvard was a pheasant school.

Is that really the case?

Go tell your mom about it!

My mother: What's the use of reading, you see who is who, who is not reading, how good it is to go out of society.

Me: I don't want to read anymore.

My Mom: You can say one more thing...

Me: I said I didn't want to study anymore.

My mother: You rabbit cub, your father and I worked hard to provide for your schooling, if you don't read it, I won't beat you to death today!

For a good director to make a popular masterpiece, a professional background is not a necessary condition, and making a big bad movie is not directly related to a professional background.

And simply using the box office or the domestic market box office to simply define "good movie" is also a very deformed definition.

For example, "Thorn Tomb" and "Fengyun 2", these two movies opened on the first day, the former was close to 11 million on the first day, and "Fengyun 2" was almost 8 million...

Are these two good movies?

......

"Thorn Tomb"...

On the first day of release, in view of Zhou Jielun's strong appeal, the theater directly gave 30% of the film schedule; "Fengyun 2" only 28 percent; in addition, "Time and Space Traveler" has 18 percent, "Mulan" has 10 percent of the film schedule, and "2012" has 12 percent...

Zhou Jielun is really strong!

"Slam Dunk", a movie with bad ideas, can actually break 100 million;

"Panda Man", a special film, was introduced at a high price by the mainland's five David TVs, and even sold two or three rounds of broadcast...

"Thorn Tomb", Zhu Yanping + Zhou Jielun + Lin Zhilin, and even Chen Daoming to help...

Insert a sentence, many fans of Chen Daoming say that his performance in "Thorn Tomb" is called 'Life to Death', which probably means that there is no love + the walking dead...

is very vivid, one sentence summarizes many audiences' perception of "Thorn Tomb"!

How bad is "Thorn Tomb"?

was considered by many people to be the most stupid movie in film history, until the release of "Fuchun Mountain Residence"...

Eh, both movies have Lin Zhilin!

Tao Jingying said at the Golden Horse Awards: Director Zhu Yanping, what an important director... Don't challenge my bottom line, I won't be able to stand it.

Frankly speaking, Zhu Yanping's bad movies are normal, but "Thorn Tomb" still breaks through the lower limit a bit...

Take a look at the lineup: It has indeed thrown out several trump cards in Taiwan, Zhou Jielun, who is still full of all-round appeal, Lin Zhilin, who has explored the depth of the water at the beginning of Chibi, and Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Daoming and other people with the assistance, it is difficult to do without attention.

But the story of "Thorn Tomb" has no logic at all, the inexplicable toilet paper bandage man, the white-eyed desert eagle and his lover, these people appear and disappear bizarrely, unbelievable, looking back, it is a burst of crackling and beating.

To paraphrase Zhang Xiaobei's words: "Thorn Tomb" is a movie that has reached a new level of stupidity, and it is completely in the gap between product placements and inserts some action scenes without plot.

Five thunderbolts are not an exaggeration!

'Let's go and see 'The Tomb of Thorns!'

'No, get out!'

The only contribution of "Thorn Tomb" is probably the shattering of the box office myth of Zhou Jielun.

After that, he participated in "Su Qier", "Counter War", and "The Green Hornet", but lost money to varying degrees...

But people don't care, he has milk tea to soothe the loneliness in his heart...

Okay, after talking about "Thorn Tomb", let's talk about "Fengyun 2"...

Ahem...

The cards of Hong Kong actors have really declined, Zheng Yimian + Kwok Fucheng + "Fengyun" series of big IPs, and they didn't do "Thorn Tomb" on the first day of filmmaking.

That's "Fengyun"!

In 1998, "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" won a box office result of 20 million in the mainland, and the box office revenue in Hong Kong reached 41.5 million Hong Kong dollars, the annual box office champion...

Don't have enough hands?

As it turned out, the choice of the cinema chain was the right one.

"Fengyun 2" is as ugly as "Thorn Tomb"!

After thinking about how to squirt this movie for a long time, I finally summed up two words: poop.

No plot, no characters, no character, no details - "Fengyun 2" is almost equivalent to a movie without a script, and the whole movie is a super long version of the trailer.

It's hard for you to catch a point spray "Fengyun 2", because this film has no plot.

'Then go see 'Fengyun 2'?"

'No, get out!'

''Three Guns' is always okay!'

‘...’

"Three Guns" can't either!
