Chapter 795: The Problem of Seniority
When a more influential person in the circle praises something within a profession, it is generally divided into two kinds, one is a perfunctory compliment, which is unbearable to be a friend, embarrassed to criticize in public, but in the heart it really doesn't like it, so when it comes to the mouth, it will become a light tone;
"Well, he's doing a good job. ”
"Not bad, the lad is working hard!"
"The storyline is good, and the crew is very serious!"
"Okay, let's just take a look!"
This kind of insincere praise and unwillingness to offend people is the most common in the entertainment industry, especially Zhang Jianzhong, Feng Xiaolong and others, who often can't stand it, and when asked about the merits of their own other people's film and television works, they often answer reporters' questions with this kind of words.
Human relations are like this, no one wants to offend people for no reason, everyone is in a circle, and they don't see each other when they look up and look down on weekdays, and when evaluating someone's work, they naturally have to retain three points of affection.
The majority of audiences may not understand the meaning of these directors at first, but after a long time, they can basically judge that those words are sincere and those are insincere.
A bad work, even if these directors praise it in front of the media, this praise is basically said in front of the camera, and few people praise these works privately on their own private Weibo.
And a really good work, even if reporters don't interview, some directors will pick a thumbs up in private and sincerely say a "good" word.
Now the audience is also a lot more slippery, what people in the entertainment industry say, everyone selectively believes, there are shrewd guys, just look at the expressions of these directors and their insincere evaluations, you can guess whether this movie is good or bad.
But Guo Dalu's "Toy Story" is different from other movies, after the premiere of this film, almost all of these directors spontaneously expressed their feelings about this movie on their Weibo, and they did not hesitate to praise it, and many actors also highly respected this cartoon.
In addition, the old fairy tale writer Shao Danfeng also praised this film very much, which aroused the curiosity of many students' parents.
In fact, for the quality of Guo Dalu's works, few people have doubts about him anymore, and the reason why this time is a little unoptimistic is mainly because this is a new attempt by Guo Dalu, which leads to everyone's confidence in him is not very strong.
But now that so many people have come to praise this play, what else is there to say, it seems that this play should be really good.
In today's China, the most lacking is the film and television works that belong to the Chinese children themselves, many of the cartoons and fairy tales that children watch are from abroad, and the same is true for animated films.
Now there is finally an animated film of the Chinese people themselves, in fact, whether it is out of patriotic feelings or out of trust in Guo Dalu and curiosity about this movie, the audience of this movie must be indispensable.
A few days after the premiere, Children's Day arrived, and it was also the day of the broadcast of "Toy Story".
On this day, just in time for the weekend, parents of children generally have three options, one is to take their children to the playground or to the suburbs for a day of play, the other is to take their children to the movies, of course, there is also to do nothing for a day, and the family stays at home for a day.
However, this time the proportion of movies was slightly higher, and before the release of "Toy Story", movie tickets had already been sold out online. The theater of the day was full.
The domestic box office has exceeded 300 million on the first day, which is the second film to be so popular after "Shaolin Temple", and it is also an animated movie.
In the week after the film's release, reviews about the film sprung up online from time to time, and the vast majority of people, except for a very small number of people, praised the film.
Both the picture quality and the storyline of this movie are arranged just right, these stories may be just good for adults, but for children, they are equivalent to a masterpiece.
Especially the children in Europe and the United States, they love this movie to the extreme, many of the toys in the film are not available in their countries, after the broadcast of this movie, many children have the idea of wanting these toys, and some European and American parents are very headaches.
At this time, if some toy manufacturers have not realized the business opportunities, they can buy a piece of tofu and die, and on the fifth day after the world premiere of the movie, many domestic and foreign toy manufacturers have come to Tianxi Film and Television Group to negotiate with them about toy licensing.
The movie "Toy Story", in terms of making money, box office revenue is part of it, but the income from peripheral products derived from this movie is actually a very large amount.
It is true that some people say that women and children make the best money, and when children watch this movie, their first thought is to have a toy like the one in the movie.
As long as the people who watch the movie are not stupid, they know that this is a commercial feature film under the banner of "gifts for children", but in fact it is for the sale of toys.
If commercial films do their part, they are already in the category of literary films, and in terms of quality and plot, no one can find much fault.
"Guo Ye, our movie is a big hit!"
Ma Cheng deliberately brought a jar of old wine that had been stored for more than 30 years today, and came to Guo Dalu's home to visit Guo Kaishan and his wife, when eating in the living room, even if Guo Dalu didn't like to talk about work at home, Ma Cheng couldn't help but talk about the box office this time: "It's been two weeks now, the box office is still not much reduced, and the foreign box office is also very popular!"
He poured a full glass of wine for Guo Kaishan and Wang Shiquan, and said excitedly: "I feel that our cartoon may exceed the box office of "Shaolin Temple". ”
Guo Kaishan next to him glared and said: "What Guo Ye? I said Ma Cheng, no matter how powerful Dalu is outside, he has to call me Dad in front of me, you call him Guo Ye in front of me, then what should you call me?"
Ma Cheng suddenly became embarrassed: "That, uncle, our 'master' has nothing to do with seniority, in our circle, if you have great ability, you will be called 'master', but it has nothing to do with age." ”
Guo Kaishan said: "That's not good! In the future, at home, remove the word 'master'! Dalu, who dares to call you "Guo Ye" at home in the future, Lao Tzu will break your legs!"
Guo Dalu glanced at Ma Cheng very boringly: "Did you hear it? In the future, in my house, don't call me 'Guo Ye', if my father breaks one of my legs, Lao Tzu will break your two legs." ”
