Verse 361: Drink to quench thirst
Not only Wu Jiacang was surprised, but so was Chen Wanxian.
When Shen Huan wrote this movie promotion song like this, when Shen Huan sang so affectionately, when the movie clips that appeared in this MV constituted a complete love story, and when the scene of Song Yi at the end of the MV was so literary and beautiful, but it made people feel infinitely regretful and sad, she also subconsciously thought that this would be a sad pure love feature film.
She is still looking forward to this, after all, Shen Huan is a man who has filmed "Meteor Garden".
Although to this day, there are still many people who belittle this TV series and think it is worthless, but in Chen Wanxian's heart, "Meteor Garden" is a divine drama.
She knows that the actors in "Meteor Garden" may not be very good at acting, and she also knows that "Meteor Garden" can't catch up with many TV series in terms of lens composition, props, and well-made, but she just likes this TV series very much, and likes this seemingly simple, but inexplicably full of magical story.
Shen Huan knows very well what girls like them need, and what kind of film and television dramas they need, which is a kind of talent, which can't be made up for with more skills.
And now, this man has come to shoot a love story again......
How could she not look forward to it?
Although the carrier has changed, from a TV series to a movie, the difficulty has increased a lot, but Shen Huan's progress in the position of director in the past two years is also very obvious, Chen Wanxian believes that he can control the theme of movies well, and believes that he can make love stories that she likes to watch.
Maybe she should bring more tissues when she goes to watch the movie, after all, judging from the movie clips revealed, this movie will be a tragedy. And with Shen Huan's skills, this movie should be able to bring her to tears.
Chen Wanxian even thought of it in advance, but she never expected that at the end of the MV, Shen Huan actually said that this "Charlotte Troubles" would be a comedy!
When Chen Wanxian saw the end, her whole expression was stunned.
"What ...... to do"
Sang Yangdi, who was on the side, muttered to himself and said what Chen Wanxian was thinking at the moment.
yes, what's the matter? How can this be a comedy? And claim to be a comedy that is going to be hilarious?
Does Shen Huan have any misunderstanding about "comedy"?
Chen Wanxian stayed for a while before she finally came back to her senses, turned her head to Sang Yangdi, and pointed to the video page that had been played on the screen with one hand.
"Is this going to be comedy? Do you see any comedy?"
Sang Yangdi shook his head, "I can't see it." Then he thought, "Maybe this is a differentiated marketing tactic? It is to use such a stark contrast to make people have a strong curiosity, so that they choose to buy tickets and enter the theater to watch it as soon as possible." If that's the case, then what he did was really successful, and even I wanted to see what kind of movie this movie would be for the first time. β
After a pause, Sang Yangdi said: "However, the disadvantages of this are also obvious, if he can't hand in a satisfactory answer at that time, I'm afraid it will cause a very bad backlash." For example, if we go into the theater with such curiosity, only to find out that his promotion is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, this is a romance film, then even if his film is good and even excellent as a romance film, it will cause great disgust to the audience, because it will make the audience feel that they have been deceived and fooled. β
"Even, even if this is really a comedy, if it is not particularly good and funny, it will also cause disgust among the audience. And these feedbacks will be fermented later, which in turn will affect the movie, under this assumption, it is likely that the box office of the first two days of the movie is okay, but two days later, the box office began to fall off a cliff. β
Maybe Sang Yangdi's achievements are not too many or strong, but in terms of mouth kung fu, he still talks about the truth, as if he is the prototype of the first generation of keyboard warriors in the Internet era of New China.
After Chen Wanxian heard this, she thought about it and didn't say anything, but continued to watch this MV from the beginning a few more times.
These few times, she pulled her attention back from the songs, and devoted more to the study of movie clips, and even paused, played, paused, and played later, and it was under such careful care that she finally found something that this MV could have to do with "comedy".
It was a picture in the first half of the MV, Shen Huan and Li Manshu were eating foreign fast food on the steps of the playground, and the logo of the foreign fast food inside was gnawing Kiji.
In this world, Kentucky is also a hegemon in China's Western-style fast food industry, and Shen Huan has tampered with it here.
ββ¦β¦ It's too hidden. β
Chen Wanxian looked at the freeze-frame picture and was quite speechless.
This picture flashes in the MV, and it only takes about a second before and after, and from the perspective of the lens composition, the focus is on Shen Huan and Li Manshu, and the audience can easily ignore the fast food bucket in their hands. And in addition to the product name and English abbreviation, the LGOO pattern and color on the entire fast food barrel maintain a high degree of similarity with Kentucky in the real world, which is easier to ignore.
"That's the question I was talking about. β
Sang Yangdi looked at the freeze-frame video in front of him and shook his head, "This can indeed be regarded as a comedy factor, but it is too unsuccessful, very inconspicuous, and it is very easy to be ignored, and the consequence of that is that the laughter is insufficient." And if he thinks that this movie is a comedy interspersed with some elements like this, then I can only say that his understanding of comedy is indeed quite superficial. β
Speaking of this, Sang Yangdi recalled again and said, "But this seems to be normal. He has only made two film and television works before, both of which are TV series, one is a campus love theme, and the other is a spy war, both of which really have nothing to do with comedy. He is dabbling in the theme of comedy for the first time, and it is understandable that there will be a lack of understanding and control. β
Anyway, on the whole, Sang Yangdi probably doesn't think that this movie will really be like Shen Huan's play at the end of the MV, it will be a hilarious comedy.
"Let's see what others have to say. β
Chen Wanxian finally stopped playing this MV back and forth, but took the opportunity to click on the comments under Shen Huan's blog post, and began to look at netizens' feedback on Shen Huan's MV.
"It's another beautiful song, and under your interpretation, it's even more affectionate and intoxicating......"
Okay, you don't need to read this hot comment, it's another licking dog comment from Shen Huan's personal support club, skip it directly.
"I think your understanding of comedy seems to be a little different from ours? I look left and right, look up and down, lie down and even watch upside down, this thing is not going to be a comedy!"
There are a lot of people who like this hot comment, and after clicking on it, you can see that many people agree with this netizen's feelings, and there are also some die-hard fans of Shen Huan who defend it inside, but the reason for the defense is too far-fetched, or it can be said that there is no reason at all - "believe in Shen Huan", "If he can make you see through, then is he still Shen Huan?", "Please don't question him, this is a man who is good at creating miracles".
When she saw these replies, Chen Wanxian couldn't help frowning.
These reasons are really not convincing, but they make some pure passers-by easy to be disgusted by such brainless remarks, and then spread this disgust to Shen Huan, so Chen Wanxian hates this kind of reply, but she can't stop it, and she can't do anything, so she can only jump out and continue to watch.
"Let's talk about Brother Huan's new song? Let me say first, I'm still a little dissatisfied with this new song, although I can also pass, but I feel completely supported by Shen Huan's singing skills, what do you think?"
Chen Wanxian was a little interested in this comment.
She herself was still a little disappointed with Shen Huan's new song, and she also wanted to see what others were saying, so she clicked in, and then found that everyone's opinions were not unanimous.
"Classmate, are you really dissatisfied?
"+1, I think it's good, it's been looping an infinite single. β
"Brother Huan sings so affectionately, it almost melts me. In addition, it is recommended to consume it with MV for better effect. β
"Objectively speaking, I'm also a little disappointed, after all, this is a single with MV, this kind of treatment is still rare here in Brother Huan, but the result is not as high as expected. But if you look at it as a movie promotion song, it's actually okay, after all, the movie promotion song has to be written in the movie, and you can't let go of creation, how much will such shackles have an impact on creation, right?"
"It's good and it's over. β
β¦β¦
Music is a very personal thing, and everyone has their own set of criteria for judging what is "good" and "not good". Chen Wanxian felt a little disappointed in the song, judging from the replies to this hot comment, there are still a lot of people who like it, and at a cursory glance, it accounts for the majority, even if it is the ones who say "not very satisfied", they just feel that this song is a little far from their expectations, but they do not deny all the value of this song.
Jumping out of this hot comment, if you look down, the comments after that are basically entangled in the aspect of "comedy", which is also the aspect that people pay the most attention to. Everyone seems to be very curious, how can this comedy, which obviously has nothing to do with comedy at all, be a comedy that is going to be "hilarious"? For this reason, many people also expressed their willingness to watch the movie for the first time in the comments, and some people even made an appointment to watch the movie.
This is the situation on Shen Huan's Weibo, Chen Wanxian then went to some music and video websites to search for the relevant pages of "Just Once", and found that on the website with a comment function, netizens expressed curiosity and questions about this movie, curious about how such a movie can be a comedy?
"From the current point of view, his propaganda strategy is still very effective. β
Sang Yangdi watched silently all the way from the side, and finally made a conclusion: "As I said before, the box office of the first two days of the release of "Charlotte's Troubles" is still quite impressive. As for the after...... It's really not very promising. β
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and then continued: "His behavior reminds me of an idiom - drinking a donkey to quench thirst." This made me feel even more that this movie was actually just a faΓ§ade, a public relations measure! He also knew that it was impossible to win by quality of what was shot in such a hurry, so it was better to make a fortune and maximize the benefits! This would explain why he drank to quench his thirst, and the front and back were all connected......
Sang Yangdi may have been a little crazy about studying Shen Huan's events in the past few days, which can make him think of this aspect, and the more he talks, the brighter his eyes become, as if he has discovered a new continent.
He even rushed to his computer and started logging into the forum to post his new idea.
That will definitely cause netizens to marvel.
And when Sang Yang Di crackled and coded words, Chen Wanxian sat quietly on the side, casually flipping through the comments posted by netizens under Shen Huan's videos.
Flipping through it, she suddenly asked Sang Yangdi next to her, "You say, is this really likely to be a hilarious comedy?"
Sang Yangdi's head didn't turn around at all, just stared at the screen in front of him, his fingers flying on the keyboard slowed down, and said while typing: "From the current point of view, the possibility is really not very large, but theoretically speaking, such a possibility is not ruled out, everything will not be known until October 1st, after the movie is released." β
Although Sang Yangdi gave two possibilities, a fool can hear it, and he thinks that it is not very likely that this "Charlotte Troubles" is a comedy.
After hearing this answer, Chen Wanxian thought for a while, and then asked: "Then do you think it can surpass "Thorn Qin" at the box office?"
Chen Wanxian's question just now didn't make Sang Yangdi stop his movements, but as soon as this question came out, Sang Yangdi's keyboard action stopped instantly, and even turned his head to look at Chen Wanxian.
"Do you think it can surpass the box office of "Thorn Qin"?"
Sang Yangdi's eyes were full of surprise, as if Chen Wanxian had asked a big stupid question.
Chen Wanxian shook her head, but after thinking about it, she nodded very stiffly, "Also...... Let's not care what the subject matter is, after all, he is still very successful in TV series, and the two TV series he filmed are both phenomenal hit dramas, and this time it seems that he is good at love themes......"
Well, she still thinks this is a romance movie in her heart. In addition, from Chen Wanxian's lower and lower voice at the back, it can also be seen that she is not confident enough.
After listening to Chen Wanxian's words, Sang Yangdi smiled dotingly, shook his head, turned his head again, and continued to write his technical analysis post, while saying casually: "TV series and movies are two completely different fields, my baby, and that's "Thorn Qin"...... If it can really surpass "Thorn Qin" at the box office, I will use your head as a toilet, and I will put it here. Alright, don't talk to me just yet, wait until I'm done with this post......"
