Chapter 49: Box Office Comparison (2/8)

"The Ferryman" was announced on July 14 last year, and promotional materials were finalized in mid-October this year.

An urban romantic comedy actually needs ten months to shoot!

Generally, the normal film shooting cycle will never be so long, and genre movies of the same size are often compressed in just two months - because star time is too expensive, and the crew has to feed so many people, so it is normal for filming to work more than ten hours a day.

So is it because of the spirit of craftsmanship that slow work is meticulous?

The marketing techniques of movies often feel dreamy and can turn black and white upside down. The mistakes of coordination, the disorder of production, and the chaos of shooting, in the end, can all be covered up with effort and care, so that the buyers and sellers are sincerely grateful for their performances. Pathos is always the shot in the arm for a weak liar.

In the repost of "The Ferryman", Xiaohua, who was folded by the golden rooster and a hundred flowers, was even more obedient, saying that she had done each of them dozens of times, and her efforts hoped that everyone could see it in the movie.

There is a passage in "The King of Comedy": "Do you know that you have wasted the time of so many people in the crew, every piece is money, and all of them are because you have to go through it over and over again." ”

Because of your unprofessionalism, you can waste other people's resources, work yourself, and then dump positive values with the entire market, so that everyone can cheer for you...

Well, back to "The Ferryman", the plot is probably ...

Forget it, let's not talk about the plot, because it's not a movie either.

There are a hundred times more narration than dialogue, and half of the dialogue is not human talk, and the narration for an hour and a half is nothing more than a change of body taste and chicken soup. A pot of sour text, labeling and changing bottles, you can intercept the bedtime testimonials that are not the same for a month, however, they are all bullshit.

It's really more scattered than prose, "Little Times" still has a complete plot, and the movie is so broken that it's like grinding Zhang Jiajia out of a meat grinder.

If you don't have the directing skills of "Love Actually", don't mix multiple short stories together, isn't it good to tell a complete story?

Most of the viewers who finished watching "The Ferryman" will come to the movie theater with a sentence: "Damn, mentally retarded!"

It shows that the director's aesthetics are very important, and there is a specialization in the art industry!

……

The first screening ended, and the ratings and film reviews on both sides were released...

"I think "Full Band Blocking Interference" is really explosive, and after watching this film, I feel that Hollywood blockbusters are really weak! The rhythm of the two-and-a-half-hour film is tense and clear throughout, which is both bloody and shocking. The narrative, the characters, the emotions, the action, the production are all completely impeccable. ”

"When I was in high school more than ten years ago, I was shocked by this article by an electrician when I watched "Science Fiction World", and later I learned that the original version was the Chinese version, and China was changed to Russia for the sake of publication. After watching the Chinese version, I always wanted to make it into a movie, and now my dream has come true. I just finished watching the movie, and I feel so tragic, so shocking, absolutely shocking. ”

The whole movie is two and a half hours, the whole process is high-energy, there is no cold scene at all, and the tide is wave after wave. I haven't seen such a shocking scene for many years, and my heart is really about to pop out! It's no exaggeration to say that "Saving the Soldier" and "Black Hawk Down" are all weak!"

Of course, it's a bit exaggerated, "Saving the Soldier" and "Black Hawk Fallen" are all classic movies, but they are not emotional enough!

Because they are not the PLA!

There is a paragraph in "All-channel Blocking and Interference": "Tanks all over the mountains are marching in a neat queue to this side, which is the steel torrent of the People's Liberation Army."

The camera cuts to the sky above the tank group, the overhead shot, the diagonal composition, and in the roar of the engine, the heavy guns on the tanks roar one after another, as if to vent the depression of these days. ”

During the shooting, more than 300 tanks were used, and the visual effects are not comparable to ordinary movies!

Of course, the crew also paid close to 30 million in rental fees...

"All-channel Blocking Interference" belongs to a blockbuster in the real sense, "The Ferryman"...

Well, romantic comedies.

If the shooting is good, it is not impossible to fight, after all, so many big stars gathered together, "My Grand Greek Wedding" against "The Scorpion King" that year, won a local result of 241 million US dollars, directly surpassing the box office of "The Scorpion King" several times...

It's a pity that "The Ferryman" was not filmed well...

It's all bad!

You don't even need Yuehua to send a navy to discredit you...

"The flowers are red and the wine is green, the demons and monsters, the golden koji is skewered, and the Northeast is stewed. The image and the great love in Zhang Jiajia's eyes are poisonous! Gao Ya can't get up to read a chicken soup text, and if he can't spoof it, he will disgust the audience in all kinds of ways. ”

"The golden toilet - it's still!"

"I forgot who said it: Wang Jiawei pointed at Zhang Jiajia's nose on the set and scolded the stupid fool, you don't know how to make movies... Looks like he doesn't understand..."

……

Word-of-mouth + film arrangement...

At the end of the first day, "All Channel Blocking Interference" won a box office score of 320 million, and the attendance rate reached 70%;

"The Ferryman" won a box office of 52.72 million on the first day, and the attendance rate was only 20% - this is still the result of adjusting the film schedule in the major screening halls in the afternoon...

In fact, after reading the word-of-mouth, Zhang Junsheng was already relieved!

Audiences have now learned to vote with their feet!

Good movies and bad movies can be distinguished at a glance...

Hotel, Zhang Junsheng was interviewed by Yuehua video: "I estimate that the box office can be around 4 billion, and the overseas results... It's not easy to say, but from the point of view of word of mouth, it's a little better than "The Wandering Earth", it's more entertaining, it's all big scenes!"

"However, "Star Wars" is about to be released in North America, and this one really can't compare!"

“… Of course, it's hard to shoot, Hu Ge and a few of their scenes on the space station are all real shots, the spacesuit weighs 30 kilograms, they didn't dare to go to the toilet when they filmed, they took it off and put it on, and half an hour passed!"

“… In fact, from "The Wandering Earth" to "All-channel Blocking and Interference", the biggest characteristic of all our actors and crew is sincerity and enthusiasm!"

"We are all making these movies with the mentality of pioneering domestic genre films!"

""The Ferryman", I haven't watched it yet, but I've heard that the script '700,000 words and 118 easy drafts'... I think so: focusing on the script and the story is indeed a good phenomenon in itself, but any attempt to "overkill" and "laissez-faire" will be counterproductive. ”

"...The script of "Full Channel Blocking and Interference" was written three times, I prefer the script of the first time, but it was too bloody and not easy to release, and then Mr. Liu also came, and several screenwriters saved up a little..."
