Zhang Ziming greeted Tang An into the screening hall, and there were already some guests inside.

Yu Dong said sorry to the other guests and greeted him with a smile.

"Director Tang is here, welcome to enjoy the light. ”

"Hello Yu Dong!"

Tang An stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, "Another movie has been released, and Yu Dong has released a lot of blockbusters this year." ”

"Director Tang, don't make fun of me, these two movies together are probably not as high as your new film at the box office!" Yu Dong sighed.

invested and released two costume blockbusters in two months, although it was not in the popular schedule, but I never expected that the box office of "Jiangshan Beauty" was only 38 million.

An investment of 100 million, in exchange for an investment of 38 million!

This is a joke in the entire entertainment industry, and this investment return ratio is a record.

The lowest-grossing costume blockbuster in the history of Chinese cinema.

"Yu Dong, what's going on with "Beauty in the Mountains", it is said that it is more than 38 million box office no matter what, right?"

In the past, no matter how low the box office was, such as "Ink Attack", there were 67 million.

Even "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" 5 years ago had 41 million, which was still the second domestic film of the year.

"We have also analyzed this, it is likely that the audience has felt aesthetic fatigue for costume blockbusters, and the poor quality of the movie cannot guarantee the bottom line of the box office. ”

Yu Dong sighed, the iron law that costume blockbusters must be big sellers has been broken, without a famous director, if the quality cannot be ensured, costume films will no longer be the best choice, and new genres must be found.

"It's been six or seven years, and I have to watch at least two or three films a year, and I will get tired of watching it no matter what genre. ”

Tang An nodded in agreement.

Then he asked, "By the way, Yu Dong, how is your lawsuit?"

"Director Tang also knows about this little thing?" Yu Dong was a little surprised.

"Cracking down on piracy is something that we filmmakers should be concerned about!"

"After two days of trial, there is no problem in winning the case, but there is nothing to be gained. ”

Now Berner is fighting a lawsuit with an Internet café in Beijing, which saves the video of "The Beauty of the Mountains" in the LAN of the Internet café, and then as soon as the computer is turned on, there is a link on the screen, and you can watch the movie by clicking on it.

This is an infringement, and this kind of thing exists in all Internet cafes in the country, and their local LAN has a large number of music and movies, and you don't need to go to those video sites to watch it.

What's even more bizarre is that when "Lust and Caution" was released last year, as soon as some Internet cafes were turned on, a poster of "Lust and Caution" would appear on the computer screen, of course, those posters that were not suitable for children, and then you could watch the video with a little bit of entry.

It can be said that 90% of the country's netizens have watched this film.

As for why Berner sued the Internet café, it is unknown, but in the end it seems that he received 10,000 yuan in compensation.

There are so many Internet cafes across the country, if you go to sue one by one, you can make a lot of money!

After chatting for a while, Tang An also learned that Berner actually didn't lose too much money.

This film has 6 investors and is a project led by Xiangjiang's Tianxia Pictures and UFO Pictures.

Tianxia Pictures and Meiya Film Company both belong to Meiya Entertainment, which means that the former invests in production and the latter is responsible for Xiangjiang distribution, and earns box office and distribution fees.

Meiya Entertainment Group, which is the company that Yang Mi went to later, is dying and old, and it can't rank in the top three in Xiangjiang, and it has no action in the mainland.

UFO Pictures is jointly funded by Chen Kexin, Zheng Zhiwei and a Hong Kong producer.

To put it simply, Chen Kexin caught Bernard's line through "Casting Names", and with the mainland distribution promised by Bernard, he also pulled in Tianxia Pictures to co-invest.

So Chen Kexin is the producer, but he was busy with the post-production and release of "Casting the Name" and didn't have time to shoot, so he found Cheng Xiaodong.

Together with the other three investors, Berner did not contribute much.

Originally, I thought that with the distribution fee and the copyright of some parts of Southeast Asia that Xingyang bought, I could make a little money.

Li Ming and Chen Huilin still have a certain reputation in Southeast Asia, and the cost is much higher than that of "Painted Skin".

But I never expected the box office to be so outrageous, not to mention that I didn't make a penny, and I lost a few millions.

However, the unlucky ones are UFO and World Pictures, and they have lost all their money.

Therefore, Berner actually didn't have much impact, and he just lost a few million.

After chatting for a while, the creators also came in, and Tang An also said hello a little.

At 8 p.m., the movie officially began.

What do you say about this film, many people scolded, a good and suave white horse and silver gun Zhao Zilong was photographed as a crop man, and his head was wrapped in a towel.

There are many slots, it can be said that except for the last scene, it completely subverted people's understanding of Zhao Yun, and it was on a par with Cao Cao's granddaughter, and he was seriously injured by a sneak attack by an unknown general.

If you leave aside the background of the Three Kingdoms and don't bring in the character of Zhao Yun, it is actually a good costume film.

The action is good, and the hand-held photography shows the details of the war, cold and murderous, but real.

The picture, shots, movements, and sound effects are all okay, especially the last scene in it, the scene where Zhao Zilong charges at the Wei army from top to bottom.

That shot, full of snow, Zhao Zilong's beard was white, and he was seriously injured and rushed into battle, it is definitely a classic shot in film history, and that BGM is classic enough.

However, what similar biographical movies are most afraid of is subverting people's inherent impressions, unless the character created by the director is more perfect than the image in the audience's heart.

Otherwise, it is necessary to hit the streets.

9 million on the first day, which is much better than the barely 5 million on the first day of "Jiangshan Beauty".

However, what followed was an overwhelming flood of bad reviews and abuse, and those comments on the Internet were sprinting everywhere with words such as "garbage", "ruining the three views", "blind", and "the director pointed the tip of history".

The box office began to plummet, with 25 million in the first weekend of 4 days.

This data is obviously a failure.

However, Berner still won't lose too much, this is a blockbuster joint venture between China, Hong Kong and South Korea, and the main investors are South Korea's Thai Won Entertainment Company, China Film and Xiangjiang Company, this Thai Dollar Entertainment is also one of the main investors in "Red Cliff", and Bernard's investment share should be less than 20%.

If it was all invested by Berner himself, it would definitely not survive now, and it would have gone out of business a long time ago.

Two consecutive costume productions with an investment of more than 100 million yuan have hit the streets, which has made insiders begin to realize that the market for costume movies is getting smaller and smaller, and it is time to find other ways.

It is said that several costume films that are in preparation have also been stopped, ready to wait and see, and Berner, as a party, no longer plans to touch costume films.

Then, a bunch of what the hell "brick family" and "beast" jumped out again, saying that domestic movies are dead, it was the costume blockbuster that saved the domestic movie, and now the costume blockbuster is also dead, and the domestic movie is completely gone, so it is better to introduce more foreign movies.

There are people with bad butts everywhere, and these voices are not strange.

Later, when a certain station was named and criticized by the Propaganda Department, there were still people who went to Weibo to leave a message saying that if they dared to block a certain station, they would conquer it, and they really didn't know what they thought, and they even dared to say that kind of thing.

In modern times, freedom of speech is emphasized, and anything can be said, and in ancient times, this is a great crime of stealing the family and destroying the ancestors.

"Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" and "Children of Huangshi", which was released at the same time, also have nothing to do with Tang An.

After a short two-day break, Tang An threw himself into filming again.

After that, it was an indoor scene in the studio for most of the month, and the crew could finally settle down and not have to wander around.

After resting for a few days and stabilizing, the filming of the crew was still very smooth, without the slightest slack that naturally occurs from long hours of work.

A new day, a new atmosphere.

"Everyone's early, I brought fried buns over, and everyone ate together. ”

"Thank you, Director Tang. ”

"Director Tang, let's have a cup of bean juice, it's still hot. Liu Ye said and handed over a glass of gray-green sticky bean juice.

"Huh... Brother Ye, your bean juice is the same as swill, and there is a sour smell from afar. Tang Yan on the side pinched his nose exaggeratedly, with a look of disgust.

"What's wrong with the stink, didn't you eat the stinky tofu that Liao Fan brought yesterday!" Tang An teased, turned around and said to Liao Fan.

"By the way, Liao Fan, where did you buy the stinky tofu yesterday, it is black and not slippery, the smell is fragrant, and the taste is very good. ”

Liao Fan hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Director Tang, yesterday I came to see me with a fellow countryman, and I brought authentic long yarn stinky tofu with me. ”

Tang An nodded and said with a smile, "Not to mention, every place has some disgusting or smelly local characteristics, which don't look good but eat well." ”

"By the way, Liu Ye, do you have pickles?" Tang An took the bean juice and tasted it.

"Of course, the salted kale is finely shredded, mixed with chili oil and served with bean juice, and there are also burnt rings. ”

The fried brown and ripe burnt rings, with pickles, are really good to eat with this bean juice.

It just smells a little stinky, but it's acceptable.

In fact, Tang An is not a picky eater, as long as he doesn't have something as disgusting as a pig's brain, he has no appetite when he looks at it, if he throws it into the hot pot, he won't move the whole pot of things.

There are still people who think that pig brains are delicious, God knows what they think!!

Σ(っ°Д°;) っ

After breakfast, the shooting began.

Today's filming is the scene where the four horsemen are seized and interrogated one by one at the police station.

Since I didn't have to shoot scenes outside the police station at the same time, I didn't shoot at Omen and went back to the mainland.

A few small studios are ready, ready to shoot and begin.

"All departments ready!"

"The actors are in place!"

"Twenty-second, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

The first person to be interrogated was the man who used the teleportation helmet to travel from Omen to Singapore, and was also the object chosen by the Four Horsemen through constant suggestion, confusion, and hypnotization for a long time.

Liao Fan propped his hands on the table, looked down at each other, and slowly moved forward, forming a sense of oppression.

"Well, now tell me how you got from Omen to Singapore in just three seconds!"

"Use the teleportation helmet. ”

Liao Fan looked confused, obviously not believing this ridiculous statement.

At this time, Yu Nan came over with his arms and explained, "He was hypnotized at the moment of the performance, I told you, I can't find the useful value of auditing from him!"

......

"Twenty-fourth, one shot!"

Then interrogated Liu Ye

Then there was the Deng Dynasty.

"Twenty-fifth, one shot, one shot!"

This split into two shots, Liao Fan couldn't help Deng Chao's broken thoughts, and suddenly stood up and grabbed him by the collar, but Deng Chao put the handcuffs on his hand in an instant.

Of course, it is impossible for Deng Chao to complete this kind of magic, so he can only shoot separately and edit it later.

"The first rule of a magician is to always be the smartest person in the room!" Deng Chao smiled slightly.

"Okay, pass!"

"Go to the next one. ”

came to a studio next door again, but did not shoot the scene of Deng Kai and Tang Yan being interrogated, which will make this plot seem smelly and long.

And Interpol was deflated by the two of them, and the same thing would happen to two other magicians who were equally skilled.

However, Tang Yanna still took a shot of a chair standing on the ground with one foot and turning by itself, even if the magician was showing his strength.

It's nothing more than using a transparent rope, and then dealing with it later, there is no difficulty.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the 10th.

On this day, Huayi officially announced to the outside world that Tang An will shoot the scene of robbing the bank money two kilometers away in the renovated workers' gymnasium ten days later, and tens of thousands of spectators will be required to cooperate with the filming, so they will recruit audiences from all over the country, regardless of age, gender, and skin color, but there is no remuneration, only responsible for food and accommodation.

10,000 people have a lot of money for food and lodging, even if the shooting time is only a few days, just eating is a lot of money.

However, please ask dozens of masters who fry big pot dishes, and then ask some aunts to wash and cut vegetables, so many dishes go directly to nearby provinces to collect a large number of dishes, which is much cheaper than ordering a box lunch in a restaurant, and it is also hygienic.

Accommodation is also a big head, but Huayi does not choose too many outsiders, basically guarantees that there are thirty or forty people in each province, most of them are still looking for locals in the capital, otherwise how many houses do you have to find for accommodation of 10,000 people.

There are more than 30 provinces in the country, and there are more than 1,000 people. It doesn't cost much to stay in a hotel.

It's a pity that they can't live in the workers' stadium, like the thousands of group performers in "The City Wears Golden Armor" are working on the floor in the palace where they are filming.

It's been almost half a year, and the long-awaited bank robbery magic is finally going to appear, and it is still going under the noses of the audience, and everyone has the opportunity to watch it live.

Everyone is excited, those who are free go to the official website to sign up and fill out the form as soon as possible, and those who are not available are also planning how to take a long vacation, whether it is a brother or sister marriage or a good excuse.

For a while, Huayi's official website server was almost crowded, countless people were filling out forms, and Huayi mobilized most of the company's employees to screen them, picking thirty or forty people from each province, and there were all kinds of occupations.

If you need accommodation, you should also write it on the table, and arrange each person's room according to the region, so that it will not be so messy.

Tang An also came to Huayi after filming that afternoon, watching them screen there.

"These people are our best publicity channels, covering all ages and all industries, through their mouths, one by one!"

Wang Zhongjun also admired Tang An's idea, this method is more effective than any publicity, people love to show off, fans who have been to the scene will definitely be eager to talk to relatives, friends, classmates and colleagues after they go back.

"I was just thinking that these audiences don't have to use CG to do it, we are not a United States country, labor costs are expensive, and dozens of people dare to shoot large-scale war scenes!" Tang An said with a smile.

"But you have to make sure that those two scenes are attractive enough for the audience to be effective. Wang Zhongjun then said again.

"Don't worry, Wang Dong, I will definitely make the trip worthwhile for the audience!" Tang An smiled and said confidently.
