Chapter 122: Want to Turn Positive?
At the midnight premiere, Ding Cheng was fully armed, bought tickets to enter the venue, and sat in the corner, although it was a midnight show, there were still many audiences.
When the lights dim, the movie begins. At the beginning, it was the scene of Niu Er running all over the mountain, and the depressing atmosphere instantly enveloped the audience, especially when he saw Jiu'er's corpse......
Ding Cheng can clearly feel the emotions of the audience next to him, although they are all heavy themes, but I am not a savior, and I have a stronger sense of substitution. After all, the difficulty of seeing a doctor is something that everyone has personally experienced, and it is a real difficulty that needs to be faced.
And war is very far away for modern people, all from history textbooks, and even many have evolved into trash cans for angry young dicks to vent their personal emotions.
How to shoot a good war theme?
According to Ding Cheng's understanding, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to grasp the fearlessness and sacrificial spirit that people show when facing life and death.
Even if you use hot blood as a gimmick, it has to imitate the kind of wolf warrior, the machine gun bursts suddenly, all kinds of sea, land and air fly away, the audience wants a big scene, and what you spend money to buy is excitement.
"Hey, I've been acting for most of the day, and I don't seem to understand it!"
"I don't understand? I think it's funny. ”
"The plot doesn't matter, if you want to say that Ding Cheng's acting skills are really explosive, he has brought the little people to life!"
"Especially the scene where I was slapped in the face by Yanni, it was ......"
There was a whisper from the audience next to him, and he still bought the black humor in the middle of the movie, this kind of theme is the director's old business, and it is very easy to control.
It's still the same old saying: how to make the audience laugh and then taste something else when they go home......
This is the university asks!
Finally waited for the box office on the first day, 8.6 million, Ding Cheng let out a sigh, and the result was not bad.
Definitely won't lose money, the first day has basically returned most of the capital, the rest depends on how much you can earn?
As an actor, being able to be worthy of the salary and not letting the audience scold the street is already doing his duty. As for the rest, directors and producers are worried about it, and not losing money is their bottom line.
Guan Hu called, saying that he ranked fourth in the same period, basically achieved the predetermined goal, and the publicity came to an end, just waiting for a few days in August to participate in the Golden Horse.
The Douban score is also good, with thousands of people scoring a high score of 7.8, of course, there are many doubts, but they are generally satisfied with their acting skills.
"Want to make your own movie?" Ding Cheng looked at Wang Tian and said in surprise: "Be a director?"
"Can't you look at it?" Wang Tian drank the wine, saw Ding Cheng's questioning expression, and said angrily: "I'm also the one who is about to run four, can I only follow other people's butts in this life?"
Ding Cheng nodded, to say that Wang Tianchao has been an assistant director for so many years, and his level is not bad, but he will make a movie directly?
Wang Tian understood Ding Cheng's worries, took out a script from his bag, handed it over, and said, "You take a look first." ”
Ding Cheng took it, and there were five big words written on the cover: Sniper phone booth?
Turning the first page, he didn't raise his head again, for more than half an hour, closed the last page, took a deep breath and said, "This is your confidence?"
"I'll just ask you a question...... Wang Tian stared at Ding Cheng with a serious face, "Is it a good book?"
"Absolutely!"
Ding Cheng did not hesitate and said firmly: "This is the best book I have seen in half a year, there is no one!"
After hearing this, Wang Tian let out a long breath, as if he had received great affirmation from Ding Cheng, and said with relief: "With your words, I am really relieved!"
"The budget is estimated to be eight or nine million, and I have a little spare money in my hands in the past few years, so I can't mortgage the house to the bank first......"
"After so many years, there are also a lot of old friends who know the roots, and it's okay to call over to help......"
"Mainly the male protagonist ......"
looked at Ding Cheng with burning eyes, and said word by word: "All the drama is pressed on him, so ......"
"No problem!"
Before Wang Tian finished speaking, Ding Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay to be idle, I'll come." ”
"Okay!" Wang Tian instantly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, slapped the table, and said excitedly: "I know that I didn't recognize the wrong person!"
Suddenly remembered something, and said tentatively: "Over there in the company?"
Ding Cheng waved his hand, touched the script with his hand, pondered for a moment and said: "Sister Hua's side is not a big problem, after all, the company does not have a better book for the time being, I will let her see this first." ”
"As for the other ......"
Ding Cheng looked at Wang Tian's expectant gaze and said seriously: "The investment risk is too great, you have a wife and children, you can't joke about the house!"
"I still have a little spare money in my hand, it's okay to be a few million, since you want to shoot, then count me as a share. ”
"You ......" Wang Tianzhen didn't expect Ding Cheng to be so righteous, not only did he act in friendship, but he also invested in gold and silver, stood up suddenly, picked up his wine glass, and sighed: "Don't say anything, it's all in the wine!"
For Wang Tian, Ding Cheng was very grateful, although strictly speaking, the other party did not help much. But it is at the lowest point that you have the motivation to support yourself.
can understand that the other party has worked hard for so many years, which is similar to Xu Yinghua, with a lot of accumulation, and needs a work to prove his self-worth. Shadow chasing the murderer has achieved the former, and now it is Wang Tian's turn.
"I still say that making movies is very risky, and I don't need to say more about that. Ding Cheng saw that Wang Tian calmed down, and analyzed: "My confidence comes from the script, since everyone cooperates, the favor will be put first, everything must be professional." ”
"Don't worry, I'm under more pressure than you. Wang Tian took a deep breath and said seriously: "This movie may be the first time in my life, or even the only chance to prove myself!"
"The script is only one aspect, and people are the most critical factor. I am optimistic about you and believe that only you, Ding Cheng, can complete the task. ”
"I'm sure I'm not going to let my wife go to waste. Ding Cheng said with a smile: "You will come up with the budget first, recruit the team, and then we will sign the contract." ”
"I'll talk to Sister Hua to see if the company can help with the publicity, and the funds can be saved, and ...... will be saved."
Leaving the hotel, Su Yao asked Ding Cheng: "Do you really want to invest?"
"I like this book very much.,It's basically a one-man show.,The cost pressure is not great.,Seven or eight million can be done by gritting your teeth.。 ”
"The main thing is that it's not easy to publicize, so I have to talk to Sister Hua first, after all, the company doesn't have a good book, so you can't be idle, right?"
Su Yao didn't speak again, this is a matter of time or time, who doesn't have a side job now?
The investment works are still old-fashioned, and there are more other variety, such as opening restaurants, doing beauty, playing stocks, and doing everything.
Now Ding Cheng also has a small amount of savings, and he will take out millions to test the water, even if he loses, he will not hurt his muscles and bones, and he can accumulate some investment experience.
