Chapter 418
During the Spring Festival, the film market is hot, and the audience in China actually has really low requirements for movies, so basically as long as the film is not too bad, it can get a good box office during the Spring Festival.
For example, "Operation Hurricane", such as "Shocking Showdown".
But at the very least, it must be understandable and enjoyable for people to read.
For example, although "Operation Hurricane" has been complained by many audiences, it still can't get rid of the slots of domestic main theme films, but there are indeed many bright spots.
"Operation Hurricane" has a grand scene, and the various explosion scenes and car chase scenes in it are absolutely hot and exciting, so although the plot seems a little dogmatic, it still got a good box office.
And "Shocking Showdown", although the plot is a bit bloody, but the stars are gathered, the news is constant, and various marketing is added, so it has also been affirmed at the box office.
Of course, there are many people who complain, but, in comparison, this is a relatively sincere domestic blockbuster in recent years.
However, during the Spring Festival, although the film market is hot, it is also a blockbuster, and the competition is naturally extremely fierce.
When someone laughs, someone cries.
Tianhua Pictures, as a newly rising film giant in recent years, is really embarrassing.
Tianhua Pictures is a subsidiary of Tianhua Group, and it stands to reason that Tianhua Pictures wants money and resources, resources and resources, and relies on its own Tianhua Cinema Line, which can be said to have the right time, place and people.
However, in the past few years, Tianhua Pictures has been particularly embarrassed, and has been jokingly called a big wronged person by many veteran film and television people in the industry.
In fact, not only Tianhua Pictures, but also several other film and television companies with domestic capital in the film and television industry are also facing the same problem as Tianhua, that is, just blossoming does not bear fruit.
There are a lot of movies that have been invested, but they have not been very successful.
Basically, I paid the tuition fees.
Compared with those old film and television giants, companies such as Tianhua that rely on capital to enter the film and television industry are still a little interlaced like a mountain of water and soil.
During this year's Spring Festival, Tianhua Group also gave it a go, not only invited the famous domestic director Nan Ke to direct, but also star-studded, but as a result, it was also released for a week, but the box office was only more than 300 million.
Let Tianhua Pictures once again become a laughing stock in the industry, although it is said that the success or failure of movies is normal, but it is rare for Tianhua to lose habitually for many years.
If it weren't for the unexpected explosion of last year's "Iron Fist of Shame", Yao Ding, the person in charge of Tianhua Pictures, would have been cool directly.
In fact, the group was already extremely dissatisfied with him, so "My Sassy Girlfriend" became Yao Ding's final straw.
Similarly, for the great director Nan Ke, the recent days have been quite sad.
Nan Ke is not the kind of commercial director, this movie with Tianhua is his transformation work, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, which makes Nan Ke a little confused.
He didn't understand why a movie like "Iron Fist of Shame", which seemed very LO to him, turned out to be able to get more than 2 billion at the box office, while the blockbuster he worked so hard to create turned out to be on the street.
"A cup of coffee, thank you. ”
After Nanke sat down, he turned to the waiter and said a word.
"Wait a minute. The waiter nodded and left.
Nan Ke turned around, looked at Yao Ding, who was sitting opposite, and said with a wry smile: "Old Yao, I really disappointed you this time." ”
It turns out that Nan Ke and Yao Ding have known each other for more than 20 years, they are old friends, Nan Ke has always wanted to transform, but he has never been able to find investment, because his main direction was literary and artistic direction, Nan Ke is a frequent visitor to film festivals, but in the field of commercial films, there is no precedent for success.
And his project requires hundreds of millions of investment, and ordinary companies naturally dare not accept it, and finally he found Yao Ding.
Of course, Yao Ding didn't make a decision with a pat on his head, such a big investment would definitely not be decided by him alone, but he played an important role in it, so in the end, he failed, and he naturally had to carry this pot.
"It's not disappointing or disappointing, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, I still have a chance if I lose once, but you, eh. Yao Ding said that he didn't blame Nan Ke for being fake, he had high hopes for Nan Ke, but he didn't expect that the result would be like this.
But as he said, before he took over Tianhua, Tianhua gave him three years, and within three years, he could lose money and make all kinds of attempts, so although the project with Nan Ke failed, because of the success of "Iron Fist of Shame" before, it would not let him step down directly, and there was a project of "My Sassy Girlfriend" to look forward to.
But Nan Ke is different, he is a director, and the failure of a big commercial production will make him lose the trust of investors.
If you want to do big projects, it's obviously not easy.
Even if it is Yao Ding, it is impossible to use him to run a big production anymore.
Nan Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Yes." This heel fall is indeed a bit miserable, and what is even worse is that I still don't understand where I lost?"
At this time, the waiter brought coffee, Nan Ke took a sip of coffee, bitter, really bitter, just like his mood at the moment.
"By the way, you came to me today, don't you want to talk about this?" Nan Ke looked at Yao Ding, an old friend, and asked.
"Of course not, I came to you today to show you the way. Yao Ding said with a smile.
"Oh?" Nan Ke was really a little surprised.
"You know Iron Fist of Shame, right?" asked Yao Ding.
"Of course, to be honest, I still can't figure out where the success of this movie is, and I can't see through it. Nan Ke said a little stunned.
"Don't say it's you, in fact, I'm the same, or rather, many people in the industry can't figure out why this movie has been so successful. Yao Ding shook his head and said.
"There are many factors for the success of "Iron Fist of Shame", but the most critical factor is that it is inseparable from one person. Yao Ding looked at Nan Ke and said.
"You mean Lin Xiao?" Nan Ke was a little puzzled.
"That's right, it's Lin Xiao!" Yao Ding nodded.
"He's really an amazing person, of course, it's still too early to talk about this, so I came to you today just to confirm with you whether he is really that amazing. Yao Ding said with a smile.
"You mean?" Nan Ke was still a little confused.
"If a person succeeds once, it may be an accident, a coincidence, but if he has great success in a row, then it is not an accident. Yao Ding said.
"You mean, My Sassy Girlfriend?" Nanke asked.
"Yes, "Iron Fist of Shame" is actually led by Lin Xiao, it can be said that he played a vital role in this, but the director is actually not so critical. ”
This time, the director of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is Chen He, who is Lin Xiao's old classmate, but in the film industry, he can only be regarded as a newcomer. If "My Sassy Girlfriend" can continue to be successful under such circumstances, then one thing can be determined, that is, Lin Xiao is really a bit of a stone into gold. ”
"Your current situation, the most important thing is that you need a film to turn over, and as far as I know, Ling Xiaoge is currently lacking the most director, so if you take the initiative to join, I believe that you will soon be able to get the opportunity, of course, provided that "My Sassy Girlfriend" can continue to replicate the success of "Iron Fist of Shame". ”
