Chapter 915: It's almost time to catch up with Guo Dalu
"This movie deeply disgusted me, but it also made me know Beicheng's directing ability, it turns out that he is not only good at comedy films, but also can shoot world-class horror effects in horror films. Don't get me wrong, in fact, in my opinion, this movie is not very scary in terms of horror, at most it is disgusting, but the interesting thing is that several of my friends in Europe and the United States almost scared after watching this film! I didn't expect that because of cultural differences, everyone not only has a different understanding of comedy, but also can't agree on horror films. ”
"Yes, yes, I really didn't feel that scary in this film, but my foreign girlfriend was so scared that she almost fainted! Oh my God, the cultural differences between the East and the West are too big, and even the fear element is different!"
"I'm from Huaxia, and I actually feel quite scary, but it's also a little disgusting. ”
After "Saw Horror" was forcibly withdrawn, Ma Cheng solicited Guo Dalu's opinion and put the film on the website for paid broadcasting.
Because of the turmoil caused by the withdrawal and the fame of the director of Beicheng, many of them came to see it after it was finished, and after watching it, the ratings given were not low.
When everyone learns that the investment cost of this movie only cost more than two million, no one will be too harsh on this movie, in today's society, two million to shoot a movie, this is completely a joke, in the eyes of many filmmakers, this is not true at all.
But the director of Beicheng just finished filming, although the lens is a little rough, but the quality of the film is actually not bad!
Spending such a small amount of money to be able to shoot the film to this extent has proven the director's ability.
After the film was forcibly withdrawn in China, it was re-released in Europe and the United States and other countries, causing a much greater sensation than in China.
Compared with the Chinese film market, the film market mechanism in Europe and the United States is more comprehensive, and the level of the film is also more detailed, so it is impossible for children to see the films that are not suitable for children in the theater, which also ensures that this horror movie has not caused any lawsuits abroad, and it can only trigger the audience's discussion of this film.
Although the reputation of this film in China is good, it is not to the extent that it is regarded as a classic, but abroad, it has triggered a wave of movie-watching craze, and many foreign audiences have spoken highly of it after watching this movie.
This is typical of the flowers inside the wall and the fragrance outside the wall, most of the praise comes from abroad, and the evaluation of domestic filmmakers is just not bad.
What is surprising is that this movie was forcibly withdrawn in China, but after the box office of more than 10 million in the first three days, the remaining income was reflected in the network fees.
In fact, the cost of this movie has been recovered in the first three days of release, and there is a slight surplus, but it is a pity that the domestic film market is a pity.
However, after being painted in China, it has achieved a good box office in Europe and the United States and other countries, and has also achieved remarkable results in several countries in East Asia.
When the full picture was drawn, the final count was known to be 230 million US dollars.
After this box office was announced, it caused a lot of sensation in the industry.
Since Guo Dalu, there has been no record of breaking 100 million yuan in small-budget films, and it is for this reason that everyone is interested in large-investment films, because once the large-scale investment is done, the profits earned are very considerable after all, as for small-budget films, it seems that except for Guo Dalu, the rest of the directors' works, even if they make money, they don't make a lot of money, so many investors are not interested in it.
This time, a small work with a cost of more than 2 million yuan in Beicheng actually won more than 200 million US dollars abroad, which is a big thing that no one expected, and it can be called a miracle in the history of film, except for Guo Dalu, of course.
At the beginning, Guo Dalu's kung fu film "Shaolin Temple" with a cost of more than 3 million swept the box office of more than 10 billion yuan around the world, which is a real legend, but this kind of legend is difficult to replicate at all, because there can only be one groundbreaking work, and the rest are just follow-up works, and it is difficult to reach the height of the first phenomenal work.
However, this "Chainsaw" directed by Beicheng has a kind of replicability, as long as the script is good and creative, even a small-budget movie has a spring.
The box office of 230 million US dollars, at today's exchange rate, is converted into the currency of China, that is, about 1.5 billion, this box office is not really great for today's big-budget movies, but for a small-budget movie with only 2 million, this is already an extremely rare dark horse.
At this time, the fame of the director of Beicheng once again entered everyone's ears, and he confirmed his position as a substitute director, and truly became one of the representative directors of powerful commercial films.
"Guo Ye, if we spend more money on this movie and make corrections in the details, the box office will definitely be higher!"
At the celebration party, Ma Cheng smiled at Guo Dalu and said: "Guo Ye, even if you spend five million dollars to shoot this film, I must be in terms of overall quality, and this movie should be able to go to the next level." ”
Guo Dalu shook his head and said: "I said that I want to make a small-budget movie, then I really do small-cost, whether it is an actor or a prop scene, I will strive to perfect the shooting of a story at the smallest cost, so that everyone can see, there are actually business opportunities in small-budget movies, but some people are not good at discovering it!"
When Guo Dalu said this, several directors of the company were also beside him, and after listening to it, they all looked a little ugly.
They always say that without big investment, they can't produce good works, but Guo Dalu began to slap them in the face again and again, telling them that a small cost can indeed have a big box office, but they are too wasteful!
After this celebration, no director dared to ask for additional investment.
However, Tianxi Film and Television doesn't really want to shoot big movies, if there is a suitable theme, after demonstration, it has a great business opportunity and selling point, and the company will not be stingy with tens of millions of investments.
But the premise is that there is indeed a need for this, not a blind toss of great success, otherwise it will become the most common investment joke now, in Huaxia, there are many filmmakers who kill investors, and Tianxi Film and Television does not want the directors in their company to become such people.
Because of the forced withdrawal of "Chainsaw", netizens are very regretful, and when everyone sympathizes with Beicheng, they suddenly saw a flash news: Beicheng's small-budget movie "Chainsaw" was withdrawn, and another small-budget movie "Nightclub" is about to be released, so stay tuned!
After seeing this advertisement, many netizens were shocked: ", why is there another small-budget movie? Beicheng is on the bar with a small-budget movie? The key is how did he shoot so fast? It's only been a long time, and he has done so many two works, and they are almost catching up with Guo Dalu's shooting speed!"
