Chapter 628: The Goal is 2 Billion! (The third is to ask for a subscription!Ask for a monthly pass!)
In late July, the prelude to the summer season has come to an end and is about to enter the climax, with three or four blockbusters to be released in rotation in the next two weeks.
However, this climax is estimated to be less shocking than the previous 11 days and 12 days of "Interstellar", even though there are many blockbusters, it is still a lot inferior.
After all, a few ordinary blockbusters can't be compared with phenomenal super blockbusters like "Interstellar".
For the audience, blockbusters are available every two weeks, and there are a lot of them every month, but an epic blockbuster like "Interstellar" is very difficult to come across.
Just like basketball, two or three ordinary stars can't trade for a historical superstar like James, unless a star of this level is determined to go.
"Interstellar" is still raging in the summer file, overshadowing all the movies in the same period.
On Monday the 22nd, it won 61 million box office with a drop of 42%, firmly ranking as the box office champion of the day.
A disaster action blockbuster "Shocking Crisis", also known as "White House Down", was released today.
From the title of the film, you can know what type it is, the police hero takes his daughter to visit the White House, and as a result, he encounters a terrorist attack on the White House.
The following plot can be imagined with your eyes closed, which is nothing more than the male protagonist killing terrorists, rescuing the president, and saving the crisis.
It is commonplace for the bombing of the White House in Hollywood movies, and it seems that bombing the White House and arresting the president has become a trend in Hollywood.
Some directors of the White House bombing film also said: "I just jumped on the trend to destroy the White House." β
The people of the United States like to watch their cities, the president, the White House, and even the earth being bombed, and then the appearance of a superman who can never be killed saves the country and the world, reflecting the personal heroism of the people of the United States.
And our people also like to watch the bombing of the United States, especially the bombing of the White House, which symbolizes the highest power of the United States, and the worse the bombing, the better.
All kinds of scenes of bombing the White House, the White House was blown to pieces in various forms, the president was beaten violently, and the minister was abused and then shot in various ways, happy!
And then there is the little strong agent who can never be killed, and he is even more superhuman than Superman with one enemy and one hundred! There is also a little detective girl who is a child in body but has a different mind than ordinary people, who is more afraid of death than an adult and has saved the United States.
It's a bit cheesy, but it's okay as a popcorn movie.
The box office of this "White House Fall" is not bad, more than 19 million on the first day, there is definitely no problem with breaking 100 million, 200 million is difficult, this kind of popcorn movie trend is usually not very good.
More than 100 million is not bad, and there is another "White House Fall" to be released in December.
is also bombing the White House, and then the protagonist goes to the rescue, after watching "The White House Falls", not many people watched "The White House Falls", and the box office was only 40 million.
The movies are all similar, except that the former protagonist has a daughter, and the protagonist wants to save his daughter.
The latter protagonist is the president's former bodyguard, who resolutely took action when he saw the White House being bombed.
The reason for the shot is too ungrounded, and it is touching to work hard for her daughter.
In order to save the president, I always feel that something is missing, after all, I am still a bodyguard who has left his job.
...
On Tuesday, "Interstellar" won $57 million, with a total box office of 1.325 billion in 13 days of release.
1.325 billion, the second Chinese-language film with a box office of more than 1.3 billion, is only more than 100 million points away from the record set by "The Martian".
Breaking the record he set was just around the corner, but Tang An's heart did not fluctuate.
On Wednesday, Tang An took the crew back to the capital and came to the movie channel to record a feature.
The special feature will be recorded first, and when the record is broken, something will be added to it before it is broadcast.
Everyone in the crew is here, and this time there is an audience, which is a little different from the previous Huaguo film report.
"In the scorching summer, the scorching heat is unbearable, this year's already hot July ushered in a phenomenal movie, since the release of this movie, the domestic film market in July has continued to heat up, and audiences across the country can feel this hot ......"
After the host Tu Wei's opening remarks, he smiled at the audience and asked, "Do you know which movie it is?"
"Interstellar !!"
The audience's voice is so whole, it seems to have a heart.
"Then I want to ask everyone, have you seen this movie?"
"I've seen it!"
Tu Wei said, "I have also watched this movie, more than once, until now I feel that I don't understand, and I have a stomach full of questions, I think everyone should be in the same mood as me, so now we have invited the director and crew of the movie "Interstellar" and asked them to solve our doubts." β
"Director Tang An, please!"
"Bang Bang ......"
After the audience's warm applause, accompanied by the opening music of the unknown, Tang An appeared from the backstage with the actors, smiling and waving to the audience.
"Tang An!!"
"Tang An!
"Yang Mi!"
"Liu Ye!"
"Liu Haoran!"
...
This time, the voices of the audience were finally unified, but it was gratifying that Tang An's name was shouted the most.
However, Tang An didn't expect Liu Haoran to be so popular, higher than the popularity of the female No. 2 Wan Qian.
Looking at it again, the audience who shouted Liu Haoran crazily were all women, and it was clear.
Women have always liked little fresh meat, and they have no resistance to Liu Haoran's cute type of little fresh meat.
They all said hello to the audience and sat down separately.
"Hello Director Tang, welcome to our show, I've been looking forward to it for a long time. β
Tang An smiled, "Actually, I've been waiting for you to send me an invitation, and I've even memorized the manuscript." β
Tu Wei pretended to be surprised.
"Isn't our station called a movie channel, if a movie hasn't been on the movie channel, wouldn't it be a failure?" Tang An said with a smile.
A few idle words and straight to the point.
"Director Tang, the background of the two movies "Interstellar" and "Edge of Tomorrow" is in the last days, but they are completely different end times, how did you arrange this background?"
Tang Andao, "One of the last days of the two movies is because of external factors, alien invasion, and "Edge of Tomorrow" is because of the internal factors of the earth, all plants have withered, resulting in desertification of the land, lack of food and water. β
"And how did you come up with such a background?"
"In fact, the inspiration came from a sandstorm, when filming "The Martian", we had to shoot in Ningxia, everyone knows the characteristics of the landform over there, mostly deserts, we encountered several sandstorms when we were filming, and the wind and sand in the sky couldn't even break away from our eyes. β
"In fact, the end of the movie is not all delusional, now the desertification of the land in the north and west of our country is becoming more and more serious, if the term of office continues, maybe in the next many years, most of the land in the entire country of China may become a desert, and then the end of the world will be soon. β
Then Tang An called for plant afforestation to spread positive energy.
After talking about the idea of the movie, Tang Anhe took a break and handed over the stage to a few actors.
Tu Wei looked at Liu Ye, "Hello Liu Ye, we all know that you have starred in three movies directed by Tang in a row, among these three collaborations, do you think that one is the most memorable for you?"
"It's all unforgettable. β
Liu Ye thought for a while and said, "Although these three movies are all sci-fi blockbusters, they are completely different genres, and they all have their own difficulties in acting. β
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"There are many scenes in "Edge of Tomorrow" that are the same, and the scenes are almost the same, constantly repeated, but I myself did not repeat them, and many subtle expressions were used to express the different states of the characters at that time, which is not easy. β
"In "The Martian", you have to receive professional training, and most of them have no rival scenes, and they are completely acting by themselves. β
"But in "Interstellar", I play a father, how can I express a father's emotions, the true feelings are revealed, naturally and not pretentious, what kind of fatherly love should I be in the face of sons and daughters, and what kind of state should I be in the face of children of different ages......"
Then Yang Mi, Wan Qian, Wang Chuanjun, and Zhang Yi also talked about their roles.
talked about some insights and interesting facts during the shooting, and then Tang An also revealed how many special effects scenes in the movie were made.
The big screen in the back began to show some footage from the filming period.
Tang Andao, "Science fiction movies are science fiction and fantasy, but it is a difficult problem to make the audience accept this fantasy, so many shots in the movie are real-life, including the frozen star, the space station, and the cornfield, we all shoot on the spot." β
"If it is really impossible to shoot on the spot, the combination of physical special effects and digital special effects is also adopted, and the actors want to truly show the feeling of being in space inside the spaceship, so I have people set up a projection screen outside the spaceship, and project the outer space scenes made by the special effects department onto the screen, so that the space can surround the actors and let them better substitute into the state of the characters. β
......
The filming process flashed on the screen behind, the gorgeous VatnajΓΆkull glacier, the half-waist-high lake, and the endless cornfields looked so real.
Then Tu Wei asked some questions about the plot of the movie, and the audience also asked a lot of questions.
"Director Tang, what do you think is the most touching and biggest attraction in the movie?"
"Feelings!"
Tang An said without thinking, "The most touching thing is always feelings, in the movie, there is the love between father and son, father and daughter, love, and friendship between companions, and feelings are the most intuitive and the most moving." β
"Actually, I also heard a lot of audience friends say that they are a little disappointed, they want to see more special effects scenes in big scenes. But I think the special effects can only catch your eye, and you will forget about it after a long time, but the emotions can penetrate deep into your heart, until many years later, when you talk about this movie, you can still savor it. β
"Just like Hollywood movies, we can often see that the male protagonist of an action movie has a daughter or son, and the theme is to save his daughter.
is like "Doomsday Collapse", "Hurricane Rescue", and the just-released "White House Down", these movies must have feelings in order for the audience to better participate in them. β
This time the show was a bit long, it took three hours to record, and only then did I select some clips and combine some other materials.
Finally, near the end, Tu Wei asked Tang An about his goals for the movie.
"2 billion, my goal is to pull the single film record of domestic films to a sufficient height, one day, the world's largest film market will be Huaguo, and the highest single film box office in a single region will also be domestic films!"
