Road comedy, which belongs to road movies.

The modern road movie began with "Easy Rider", which was born in 1969, just in time for the Beat Generation and hippies in the United States.

The plot of the movie is that two hippies ride Harley all the way south, except for the road is the scenery, a rock and a picture are intertwined, and the two people discuss freedom, existence, and redemption along the way, these philosophical and religious propositions, and the "Beat Generation", "self-searching" in confusion...

So how do you mix comedy elements in a road movie?

First of all, the main line of the plot is based on a road trip, and the plot unfolds along the route.

This is no problem, Yang Qing's setting is very suitable, two people with different personalities treat the same thing, so there will be a sense of dislocation, and a sense of dislocation is the root of comedy!

But when he said that he was traveling to France, Lu Xiaoran disagreed - his new movie is called "Henry No. 8"...

"At this stage, the audience is more likely to accept the new Malaysia and Thailand, you can change the story to Thailand..."

"What if it's in China?"

"If it's domestic, it's not easy to talk about where to travel... You can set it up for the Spring Festival or on the train for the start of school..."

Yang Qing's eyes lit up: "You mean the kind of father-son relationship?"

"The boy was admitted to college, and the whole family had to send him, and it happened that the girl he had a crush on was also on that train..."

"It's better to set up a boy as a single-parent family, and the girl is also a single-parent family, and the boy's father has a crush on her mother..."

"This is too bloody, change it! You just follow the warm route, it's really not good, I suggest you go and watch "Little Sunshine Beauty", then the movie is this kind of theme. ”

""Little Sunshine Beauty, okay, I remember!"

Yang Qing belongs to the contracted director of Orange Images, and the general contracted director work is divided into three categories:

The company has a book, looking for you to shoot;

You have your own plan and apply for funding from the company;

Then there is the outside work.

If you sit up, you can set up your own studio and attach it in the form of partners, such as Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, etc...

Now Yang Qing still doesn't have a card, and the company doesn't have a book that he particularly needs to shoot, so he will make up his own story...

"Nightclub" can be regarded as a mixed reputation, to the point: a passing genre film...

So, his second work is important.

Many people are worried that he will float...

After thinking too much, after the celebration banquet, I took the initiative to change my mobile phone number, declined all invitations, and devoted myself to saving books with several screenwriters.

……

The promotion of "Nightclub" continues, but it doesn't work too hard - you don't need to use it either, and all the media, including the public, are focused on the Beijing Olympics.

When the national mood gathered together, even the public knowledge and keyboard warriors didn't dare to spray casually, at most they caught 'Lin Miao can fake sing' and said a few words...

We touched our consciences and said: The major affairs of the country, whether to sing or not, what to sing, who to sing or not to sing, whether to sing or not, whether to sing or falset... The details are no longer something that a director can say and grasp.

True singing and fake singing are not the most important, global events, "live broadcast safety" is always the first place, and it has been studied, pushed down, and reviewed countless times in advance...

Finally, find the safest and safest way.

Many people, including Lu Xiaoran, knew for the first time that 'Singing the Motherland' was so good!

The five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and the victory song was so loud. Sing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength. ’

Or what extravagance ...

"The Beijing Olympics are a short-lived illusion, China has burned so much money but the masses have actually benefited?"

Do you know how long China has been waiting for an opportunity to show itself to the world?

Since '08, China's rise has been covered by international news – really, sometimes all we lack is a chance to show ourselves!

In fact, foreigners at that time looked at us just like we look at the Great Jin Dynasty now...

The 2008 Beijing Olympics marked a turning point in China's real rise to become an international power and its enormous influence in the world.

This Olympic Games, to a certain extent, has become the force behind China's international influence...

Speaking of the Olympics itself, it is said that the essence of the Olympic spirit in ancient Greece was to call on the whole people to participate in sports, and the Beijing Olympics really achieved the participation of the whole people!

It can be called a shot in the arm of nationalism!

So much so that after 08 years, the Chinese people no longer pay so much attention to the Olympics - all their enthusiasm is invested in the 08 Olympics...

Editing room.

Li Dagou, Zhong Lifang and Lu Xiaoran watched "Rescue Mr. Wu" after the editing was completed...

Zhong Lifang praised: "... It's very exciting, I just said that the crime theme should be displayed in a documentary way, it seems to be tepid, but it can give people an impact!"

Li Ming also nodded: "Not bad, what are you going to do now?"

"Soundtrack, color grading and subtitles... There are so many things to do!"

Li Ming asked, "When will it be completed?"

Zhong Lifang asked, "Who are you looking for a soundtrack?"

"It depends on the situation, it won't be more than October at the latest, and all the post-work should be done," first answered Li Dagou's question, and then looked at Zhong Lifang: "I want to find Dou Wei!"

"Dou Wei?"

"Well, his "Advanced Animal" is very suitable for Huazi..."

"Okay, I'll get you in touch. ”

Although Dou Wei is already half an immortal, he still has to eat after all, and the movie soundtrack, he should be able to pick up...

Li Dagou opened his mouth and didn't speak, while Lu Xiaoran turned around and bowed deeply to Du Yuan: "Teacher Du Yuan, this time it's really too troublesome for you!"

"Look at what you said, isn't that what we editors do?"

"But you can choose to be attentive, why not!"

Du Yuan smiled: "Okay, I'm leaving, and if I don't go home, I'm really afraid that the house will become a mess!"

Lu Xiaoran sent her to the car, asked the driver a few words, and then closed the car door...

Zhong Lifang also smiled and waved her hand at the vehicle that was already driving away, and turned her head to look at Lu Xiaoran: "You are too... Respect her, huh?"

“... People have the ability and deserve respect!"

"Okay, where are you going now?"

"Go home, take a shower, change clothes, NetEase has an interview..."

"Remember to mention our movie!"

"I know!"

Lu Xiaoran got in the car and left...

He didn't know that after he left, Li Ming said to Zhong Lifang: "This guy won't be willing to be a director only!"

"How?"

The box office of "Nightclub" broke 55 million, as far as I know, the production, publicity and distribution of this movie cost 12 million, all of which were replaced by advertising, and the box office of 50 million, after deducting taxes and other investors' shares, earned at least 10 million. ”

“... So much?"

Li Dagou nodded solemnly...

……

That's right, no one would have thought that a bunch of people, including Lu Xiaoran and Orange Images, and even a bunch of people who predicted the box office, didn't expect that "Nightclub" would actually exceed 55 million?

And now, it can still win about 800,000 in a single day...

Is this going to break the rhythm of 60 million?

It's understandable, after all, "Deserted Village Inn" has won 20 million box office results...

It's really that there are no new movies in the nearest theater at all!

If you think about it, from August 1st to August 20th, only one "Deserted Village Inn" will be released, and then "The Incredible Hulk" will be released on August 20, and "Xinyue Fairy Tale" will not be released until August 26th...

Before the 20th, the audience chose four parts: "Red Cliff", "Nightclub", "Ten Perfect" and "Deserted Village Inn"...

The reputation of "Ten Perfect and Nine Beautiful" is too bad, and the only topic is Li Xiang's transformation into a producer...

"Nightclub" surpasses "Ten Perfect" in terms of word-of-mouth and topic...

So, with not many choices, the box office of "Nightclub" slowly accumulated to 55 million!
