Chapter 208: Questioning (1/6)
(I feel like the monthly pass can be in the top 100...) )
The producer of La La Land is A24.
After Orange Manufacturing acquired A24, it did not change it, but made it an independent label specializing in shooting independent literary films.
Somewhat similar to Lionsgate and Peak.
Lionsgate specializes in B-grade films, mainly horror films, and the peak focuses on teenagers, with masterpieces such as "Twilight", "Dance Out of My Life"...
The "Hunger Games" series and the "Divergent" series are projects that the two have collaborated on since then...
Orange Manufacturing completely copied the path of Lionsgate's fortune, B-grade films accumulated strength, and then relied on series to stabilize its position, and from time to time mainstream films shocked ...
The acquisition of A24 is in itself to achieve the harvest at Oscars!
Last year's "Amy" won the Oscar for Best Documentary, and "Room" won the Oscar for Best Actress...
This year's "La La Land" and "Nocturnal Animals" are both Oscar seeded levels, and "Nocturnal Animals" has a better chance, Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal are all regulars in the awards season, and director Tom Ford is a famous costume designer in the old United States...
"La La Land" exploded all the way from the Venice International Film Festival to Toronto, known as the best film of the year...
After the release, word-of-mouth continued to explode!
During the screening stage, the box office of a single theater exceeded 60,000 US dollars!
The big golden retriever said that "La La Land" has 14 Oscar nominations!
Lu Xiaoran is telling the truth, the six major Hollywood companies have had an obvious change in recent years: the pursuit of big movies, big productions, and big scenes.
Is it because they are richer?
No, because they think it's safer!
What is La La Land?
Musicals, musicals, and more so about jazz – a niche within a niche!
Above all, the person in charge of singing and dancing is director Chazelle's college roommate...
Anyway, this movie should be the most profitable work in the past few years of orange manufacturing...
It will also be released in China, but this thing is a song and dance film...
The box office should not be too high.
......
At the end of the 23rd, the box office of the three works "The Ferryman", "Railway Flying Tiger" and "The Martian" was released...
33% of the films scheduled for "The Ferryman" won 73 million on the first day of the box office, and 22% of the films on "Railway Flying Tiger" won 52 million on the first day...
ranked second and third, and failed to suppress "The Martian", which had a box office of 120 million!
Interestingly, until four o'clock in the afternoon, the box office of "The Ferryman" was to suppress the box office of "The Martian", and the "Ferryman" team couldn't wait to issue a notice: The box office of "The Ferryman" surpassed "The Martian" on the first day, and Ahri Film and Television Big Data began to show results...
Of course, this announcement was quickly withdrawn...
Because at eight o'clock in the evening, "The Martian" immediately fought back...
The reputation of "The Ferryman" is too bad!
It's 2016, if you choose to release it in 2019, you won't be able to get over 100 million!
Back then, I described "Little Times"... No, it should be a bunch of words from "Legend of the Gods" that can be re-added to this movie - except for the messy special effects...
In fact, it is very difficult for Internet companies to change careers to make movies, because the film industry looks down on outsiders, coal bosses, real estate bosses, and all of them have been woolen, and there is no reason why e-commerce will be exceptional!
Those who are a little talented don't listen to laymen at all - you just give money, and don't force it!
But the Internet is not like this, it enters with the idea of subverting traditional movies, and it will definitely tell you about big data, traffic...
In a sense, Wang Hailin's sentence is right: the coal boss never interferes with our creation, except for asking for an actress, there is no other requirement;
You see, if you want to impose your own ideas on the director, can a talented, thoughtful director be happy?
So, they can only pick some directors who recognize money...
Big money to smash people!
Ahri Pictures' senior executives all earn eight-figure annual salaries, which is more than half the industry average!
That's it, they can't dig up high-quality screenwriters, directors, and stars in the mainland!
......
"Ugh..."
Lu Xiaoran had no choice but to carry two bags of Chinese medicine and went home...
I just went to see an old Chinese medicine doctor, and as expected - kidney deficiency!
Of course, the original words of the old master were 'disordered work and rest, coupled with too much intercourse, resulting in shortness of breath and fatigue, and a slight loss of mood...'
Need to cooperate with drug abstinence for three months...
What a life!
Still open a harem?
Open an egg!
Of course, people say that conditioning is enough, and you don't need to worry too much...
When I opened the door, my daughter-in-law was doing yoga, her body twisted into an indescribable posture, and when she saw the Chinese medicine he was carrying in her hand, she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
“... Oh, my body is weak, and I need to make up for it!"
"Haha... Aren't you fierce all the time?"
"It's not because you're asking too much!"
After putting the medicinal materials away, Lu Xiaoran was pondering whether to come first, when a voice came from behind: "Tonight, Christmas Eve, let's go out for a romantic time?"
"Foreigners bombarded 100,000 miles of rivers and mountains in the Qing Dynasty, burning, killing and plundering all kinds of evil, mourning all over the wilderness, and the people were not able to make a living..."
"Is your brain watering? Kidney deficiency is affecting your brain?"
"Ahem..."Lu Xiaoran changed his words: "Do you know that the Internet calls our girl Easy Girl?"
"No, the last time I went to the United States, I felt that they were all talents, and they spoke nicely..."
"Nonsense, you have money, of course they speak well, forget it, let's go, which hotel do you order?"
Boss Lu picked up his suit and prepared to put it on again...
“... Give them a treat!"
“... Okay, let's go, who to eat with is not to eat!"
got into the car, Tangtang clicked on Weibo, and suddenly his face became indifferent: "Look, some people question us for swiping scores and controlling comments!"
“... Questioning?"
Lu Xiaoran took her mobile phone, and it was the official Weibo of Ahri Pictures who questioned that "The Ferryman" was smeared by marketing...
The reason is that there are a few viewers who gave "The Ferryman" 1 star, gave "The Martian" 5 stars, and said "I still don't believe the other party will do this", "I don't need to do this at all"...
Lu Xiaoran also sneered: "This is Internet thinking, my product is not good, first of all, it must be the only one who invited a water army... They never reflect on whether it's their own problem!"
It's no wonder that the project "The Ferryman" spent 400 million yuan to find a bunch of resources, and everyone told you, boss, our film is good, it will definitely be popular when it comes out. The result came out, and a bunch of people chased and scolded, how do you explain it? This must be someone hacking us, it's all a water army!
They didn't expect that the "water army" did this not necessarily because they received money, but also because they had eyes!
Translated, they are viewers with normal aesthetics!
"Do you want to reply?"
“... If you help me reply, let's just say that Internet thinking and movies are two different things, and the reason why I give you one star and give us five stars is because the audience is normal, and the eyes of the masses are bright!"
