Chapter 826: Team America
If he can't change the status quo, no matter how awesome he was before, no one would necessarily ask him to shoot the next film.
Box office appeal?
It doesn't exist in China, as long as the work is not good enough, no matter who he is, there is no box office appeal, it has long passed the time of the blind newcomer, the eyes of the masses are bright, and the taste is gradually improving.
If these companies in the film industry do not progress, they will really be eliminated.
But......
Ye Zhi sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, not panicked at all, and even a little proud.
Anyway, these companies have to beg him, even if he is Party B, the customer is not God in him, even if he has to spend money, when Party B is strong enough to the extent of Zhixin Pictures, it is no longer a simple Party B.
It is the industry benchmark, the standard, and it has the final say.
No, you have to eliminate it, and if you use it, you have to spend money, and I have the final say on the price.
That's the standard.
In China, it is simply a barbaric growth, there are no competitors at all, and it is difficult for other small companies to survive even in the cracks, so they can only fight a price war, but now the price war is not easy to fight, the cost cannot be suppressed, and the price must be lowered.
It's very uncomfortable.
This is the difference between having a core competitiveness and not having a core competitiveness.
In fact, after listening to the needs of the Great Wall at the beginning, Zhixin Pictures gave the most high-end recommendation, but it turned out that this Guo Ming was clever and only used high-end in certain scenes, and the rest were average.
Then something went wrong.
There is a serious incongruity in the content of the movie, some scenes are very magnificent, but most of them can't keep up with the rhythm at all, and the contrast can be said to be very obvious, which is the main reason for the sluggish box office and extremely low evaluation of the movie.
Basically, you only need to look at the movie reviews a little.
But these Guo Ming obviously didn't realize this yet, he just looked for the reason for himself, and even he felt that he was spending too much money on special effects, resulting in the actor list not being perfect enough to bring the box office.
However......
He didn't know, or someone would tell him.
For example, investors.
The investors spent a lot of money but did not get the expected returns, some of them were regarded as investment failures, and some of them were not very good-tempered, so they came directly to the door, after all, Director Guo also promised the box office at the beginning.
Now I can't even get 100 million in the first week, only more than 69 million, or even less than 70 million, such an achievement.
There are some investors who clearly cannot accept such an outcome.
"Director Guo, I think you don't know your position now. ”
"Mr. Wang......"
"Do you think movies can really believe that traffic is king? It doesn't work, I thought the script was good, and you also found Zhixin Pictures to produce special effects, which should be nine out of ten, and the actors ...... I could have trusted your vision, but what about you? ”
"I ...... Mr. Wang, I really don't know what the problem is. ”
"Don't you even read movie reviews? Now the Internet is scolding you, guess what's the main thing to scold?" Mr. Wang looked at Guo Ming coldly, "First of all, the actor you chose, this female number one, is it a newcomer, right?
"I ......"
"Because she's your niece, right. ”
"Of course, this is not the stupidest part of you, the most stupid thing is that you are indiscriminately charged to the point that as long as you are not blind, you can see it, and the special effects are partial, why are you so clever?!!"
Guo Ming was also speechless now, and a cold sweat broke out.
"Why are you not convinced?"
"No, Mr. Wang, this time it's my problem. ”
"You are the gold medal director of our company, but you really disappointed me this time, what have you made of a good script? ”
Mr. Wang threw down this sentence, turned around and left directly, he actually took on a lot of pressure this time, he signed this Director Guo in the first place, but it was okay when he first came in, and the box office of the next few movies was not particularly ideal.
This time it's a direct Waterloo!
Not to mention making money, as long as the cost can be recovered, it is fortunate to lose a little.
It's just that......
The reality is still very skinny, it is impossible to lose less, if it weren't for the last wave of feelings sold on Douyin and the most exciting parts were edited, there would be no pants to lose.
But because of this video, I went to the cinema to watch it, and I scolded the recommender a lot, which was really cheating people.
Guo Ming's fame has also plummeted.
It is not easy to turn over in the future, although there are many famous directors who occasionally release bad movies, but it is not too bad to this extent, and netizens have already scolded him, so that many theaters are forced to reduce their filming, and even release it in advance, and they can't watch it if they want to.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
If the next movie can't turn over, Guo Ming's directorial life is afraid that it will come to an end, and he will never be able to turn over again.
……
The Great Wall is hitting the streets.
But the American team is very popular!
In the 40s of the last century, the flames of war against ** and its axis of evil burned all corners of the world.
Steve Rutgers, a small man living in Brooklyn, cares about his country and is bent on killing enemies, but his poor physique keeps him from being rejected by the recruiting office.
By chance, with the help of the German scientist Dr. Erskine, the little boy was able to enter the barracks and undergo the doctor's experiments, transforming into a tall, strong, and powerful super soldier.
At the same time, Johann Schmidt, the leader of Germany's ** Red Skull Force, relied on supernatural powers to build a super team, trying to dominate the world, in order to rescue his friends, Steve broke into Schmidt's military camp in the image of Captain America, and the battle between the two super soldiers of good and evil began......
This plot is actually very simple and crude. It's basically the traditional routine of hero movies, but Captain America is really a young girl and a young woman killer, and almost as long as it's a girl, she has no resistance to him at all.
Man!
"The retro hero movie is really good, every character in the American team is played with a plump image, the script is solid, the rhythm is appropriate, that is, there are slightly more literary dramas, slightly fewer action scenes, and it doesn't feel very enjoyable, but the scene creation makes up for this very well, here I must say 'Zhixin Beef Beer!'. ”
"The movie has diluted the so-called contemporaneity of the American spirit, with more self-reflection and realistic irony, and its taste is more in line with today's Hollywood grammar. But the captain's best stories are after the frozen resurrection, aren't they?"
