Chapter 451: Hold on to the Opinion
After listening to Liu Zhenyun's words, Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to say this sentence in such a relaxed tone, it seems that they didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, and they didn't take this issue to heart, at least Liu Zhenyun's idea is very simple, thinking that movies are just movies, and art and real life cannot be treated equally.
If Liu Zhenyun has any bad thoughts about Cui Yongyuan, Zhou Bai doesn't believe it, he and Cui Yongyuan are very good friends, and in the early days of film creation, Cui Yongyuan was specially invited to help provide advice, maybe as Wang Zhongjun said, after all, the movie is a highly specialized thing, and the place where laymen can play is very small, except for the form in which the actor in the movie can host the show, he can't help much, and there is no later cooperation.
What makes Zhou Bai speechless is that Liu Zhenyun obviously underestimated the power of the movie, and the audience's association with this kind of movie role is not as he said that it will not be linked, as the host of Yang Ma, in case the audience links the male protagonist in "Mobile Phone" with Xiao Cui, this impact is completely injustice for the parties, and it may be a major blow to his career.
To put it mildly, Feng Xiaogang and Liu Zhenyun are rubbing Xiao Cui's popularity, the influence of that show is huge, and inviting him to provide advice is nothing more than wanting to rub the popularity, attract a wave of traffic, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Lao Bai, are you thinking about things too complicated? Movies are movies, life is life, our movies are fictional stories, and the audience is not so stupid when they connect movie characters with real people, right?" Wang Zhongjun saw Zhou Bai's expression and said.
Zhou Bai looked at Feng Xiaogang, but Feng Xiaogang didn't speak, his brows furrowed, he chose to look away, and he didn't know if it was a weak heart or what, he and Cui Yongyuan were also friends, obviously Zhou Bai raised this question, he should also think that things might not be as simple as they imagined, or he had other ideas, but he didn't speak, Zhou Bai didn't know the specific reason.
"It's not that I think it's complicated, making movies always has to take into account the associated risks, in addition to finding a way to talk about the topic, we also have to pay attention to the social impact, it's not that I'm worried, the other party is a famous host with huge influence, we have to think about the possible troubles, in case it's really as I said, the consequences will be too bad." Zhou Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head, Wang Zhongjun really didn't regard what Zhou Bai said as a very important issue.
The most popular program now is Xiao Cui's show, the ratings are terrifyingly high, as a host, his influence is definitely the first among the hosts, Zhou Bai can't imagine that the content of the movie has not been communicated with others, in case it affects people's lives and causes people to stand up and bombard the movie, what will be the consequences.
Of course, if you want to talk about hype topics, Feng Xiaogang is definitely a master among masters, he is very good at dealing with this kind of problem, maybe he can turn the topic traffic into the box office, but this kind of money is uneasy to make in vain, and this kind of operation is not in line with his value orientation.
Like hype has always been Feng Xiaogang's style, or Huayi's style, but some topics can be fried, and some topics are best not touched.
Seeing that the faces of Wang Zhongjun, Liu Zhenyun and others finally changed, Zhou Bai decided to speak more heavily, not giving them too much face: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have raised this, after all, I don't know anyone, you and he are friends, maybe it's because you are too familiar that you didn't think of this piece, we can't affect people's lives because of the movie, even if he doesn't take it to heart, we have to pay attention to it." ”
"Ahem, I thought about it, or Zhou Bai was right, this matter may have been inadvertently ignored, but now that I think of this problem, I feel tricky, I know Xiao Cui's person very well, he cherishes feathers more, if I tell him that the actor has such a situation, I am worried about ......" Feng Xiaogang said with some embarrassment, and the last half of the sentence was not finished.
Wang Zhongjun and Liu Zhenyun looked at each other speechlessly, and acquiesced in Feng Xiaogang's words, and from Feng Xiaogang's words, Zhou Bai had already learned a lot of information, it seemed that it was not that they didn't think of this problem, but that they themselves made a choice.
"That's what I think, we have to add his name to the end credits of our films, we have to give special thanks, and we need to show our sincerity, for example, to give a good labor fee, and find a way to cut the movie character from him. Zhou Bai thought for a moment and said calmly.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to communicate, it's not a problem in terms of money, it's just that he is now the host of Yang Ma, and we also have to worry about the influence, in case he is unwilling to cooperate and chooses to stand up and bombard our movie, then we will be very passive." Wang Zhongjun said with a wry smile.
"This is always a hidden danger, if it is detonated before the release, it is much better than detonating after the movie is released, even if we can't talk about it, we at least have a lot of topics, and the audience will not associate the protagonist of the movie with him after watching the movie, but even if he tears us apart, our movie ending must also be thanked for his creativity, so that in the audience's perception, we will not have a bad impression. Zhou Bai said firmly.
"What if the scolding war before the release causes the movie to be boycotted by the audience?" Feng Xiaogang had a headache, according to his understanding, this matter is really difficult to solve.
"I say something unpleasant, our movie has no possibility of losing money, no matter how much the box office is pure profit, even if the box office is affected by the scolding war, it is nothing more than a little less money, the audience enters the movie to watch the movie, they are all for the sign of Feng's comedy, can be affected by the scolding war, in fact, it is only a small part of the audience, there is no problem with the quality of the movie, as long as we do a good job in publicity and distribution, the box office will not be too bad, I insist on my opinion, this hidden danger must be solved. ”
"......" Wang Zhongjun stopped talking, considering that it might affect profits, he was really reluctant, after all, this is money, why not make more money, but as Zhou Bai said, in fact, the box office of "Mobile Phone" is pure profit, and the original cost has long been recovered.
The scene fell into an awkward silence, and Feng Xiaogang did not speak, after all, if the box office of "Mobile Phone" is affected, his corresponding dividends will also be affected, involving real money, no one is as open-minded as Zhou Bai.
"Okay, this matter is settled, I will go to Xiao Cui in person, I believe that no matter how difficult it is to communicate, as long as our sincerity is enough, we will definitely be able to solve the problem." Wang Zhongjun patted his thigh and made up his mind.
has made a lot of money this year, even if he gives up part of the income from "Mobile Phone", Wang Zhongjun is not willing to have any unpleasantness with Zhou Bai, so he finally made a cheerful decision, and Zhou Bai was relieved in his heart, no matter what, things will not be worse than the result he originally envisioned.
