Chapter 1136: Movies and Games

In the middle of the night, the moon sets, the green trees and red flowers are mixed together, and only the outline of the building outlined by the lights is still shining tenaciously.

Although astronomy enthusiasts hate it and denounce it as "light pollution", ordinary people are still dominated by the nature of diurnal creatures, and instinctively feel that light is beautiful and more is good.

Retracting his gaze on the night view of the city, Atletico Madrid took a breath of hot air and walked briskly towards his car.

He wore a wig on his head, flat glasses on his face, and a little makeup, and had just walked out of the cinema, apparently in a modified disguise to watch a movie.

Because next Tuesday is the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army, two heavyweight domestic military films were released this week. Although Boss Ma is not a stakeholder, he still wanted to go to the makeup and watch the movie on a whim, planning to go to the front line to see their quality.

The door was closed, Atletico took off the wig and stuffed it into the bag, and told the driver to start the car.

After the evening rush hour, the road conditions were quite good, and after a short time he returned to his temporary hotel.

When he opened the door and saw Zhu Lingling who was busy in front of the computer, Ma Jing smiled and asked, "Lingling, are you back so early?"

He himself watched "Wolf Warrior 2", but sent the female assistant to the "uncle" who seemed to have a bigger head and more stars.

"It's okay," the latter said with a smile: "It's full of familiar faces, and the people who pull the rickshaw are all Mr. Lu, which looks quite interesting." ”

Kicking off his leather shoes and replacing them with slippers, Atletico Madrid casually complained: "There are so many handsome guys, and you can recognize them." ”

With that, he opened his makeup bag and began to remove his makeup. Fortunately, it's just a change at the level of eyebrows and the corners of the eyes, and it's fairly easy to remove.

Zhu Lingling saved the work at hand and replied with a smile: "Of course, I am a genuine face fan with a face recognition ability of over level 5." ”

"I can't do this," Atletico stopped working, slightly helpless.

His ability to recognize faces is also very strong, but he relies on the brain library and software recognition to help cheat, which the computer can't recognize, and Atletico Madrid can't do anything.

Skipping this topic, he asked again: "Have you seen the real-time box office, and how do you feel now?"

Hearing this, the smile on Zhu Lingling's face suddenly froze. Before entering the cinema, she started from her own movie-watching tendencies and thought that the idol blockbuster would be more popular. However, the reality slapped him twice in the face, obviously there are more stars and better film scheduling, but the attendance rate is only 17%, and the final box office is only half of "Wolf Warrior 2", which is really embarrassing.

After thinking about it, she made an excuse for herself, "Maybe it's because of the weekdays, the audience is not very crowded, and it is only about thirty percent full." Wait until the holiday charter comes out, and it should be fine. ”

Glancing at Atletico Madrid, who walked out of the room after removing her makeup and running to make tea, she asked casually: "Boss, where are you?" The real-time box office has exceeded 50 million, there should be a lot of audiences, right?"

"It's quite a lot, after all, the previous work has a good reputation, and the publicity is also in place," Atletico smiled, "The key is that there are peers to foil." ”

"Alas," Zhu Lingling suddenly sighed, "Such a handsome guy and a beautiful woman, why can't you beat the four people over there?"

As the end of the "Great Cause" series, the latest film continues the strong industry appeal of the previous two works, attracting more than 100 stars to make cameos with zero pay, and the starring lineup is a fresh meat male star, which satisfies her interest in looking at her face and counting stars. In fact, the movie did attract a lot of female audiences, but it didn't seem to be as many as previously thought, and the male audience didn't seem to buy it.

"That joint statement is too powerful, isn't it?"

The group had just returned from Hawaii, and she, the big housekeeper, had a lot to do, so she just had a little free time to catch up on the news. It was only at this time that she finally saw the open letter from the descendants of the Fathers against the new film.

"It may have an impact, but it shouldn't be big," Atletico shook his head, "and it's mainly about the film itself." ”

"The producers confuse TV viewers with movie viewers, two completely different groups. TV stars will be suspected of being outdated if they don't have works for a while, and Da Mimi's successive dramas broadcast from the beginning of the year to the end of the year are typical manifestations of this mentality. On the contrary, a movie star can still ensure its popularity and value after a good movie in a few years, which are obviously two completely different business ideas, and the corresponding audience groups are also different. ”

"Take the game as an analogy, the TV series is a free game, only the number and tricks, the core is pale and boring, and some audiences can accept it, while the movie is a time-paid game, the audience spent money to buy tickets, and the expectations in their hearts are obviously higher, if they can't be given something beyond expectations, they will inevitably be scolded for being bloody. Film and television amphibious itself is a deep pit, and many celebrities are planted on it, not to mention that it is still a much-criticized 'little fresh meat'? ”

With the beauty of the prosperous era, the TV series starred by the new generation of high-value stars can often achieve a double harvest of ratings and topics, thus bringing huge advertising revenue to TV, video websites, social networking sites and other platforms, which is also the confidence of their agents to shout sky-high salaries. Because of the pursuit of capital, the salary and treatment of "Little Fresh Meat" are getting higher and higher, but the quality of the work has not risen, which has led to the rebellious psychology of ordinary passers-by and audiences, coupled with the boycott and protest of the predecessors in the entertainment industry, the word "Little Fresh Meat" has become synonymous with high salary, poor acting skills, and lack of professionalism.

Zhu Lingling nodded in agreement at first, and when she waited for Atletico Madrid's various black black TV series, she couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but shake her head and argue: "TV series also have well-made serious dramas, and movies also have vulgar bad movies, you can't generalize!"

"You do have what you said," Atletico nodded, "but there are fewer and fewer dramas on TV, and it's also true that bad movies in the cinema are getting worse and worse at the box office, you can't deny it, right?"

Zhu Lingling was speechless for a while, and compared the evidence with someone known as the "humanoid library", she was not stupid.

After thinking about it, she followed Atletico's words and said, "What if the boss comes to shoot it?

"Why? If I do it, I'll double the ticket price first. “

"Why?"

Atletico Madrid didn't rush to answer, picked up the teapot and brewed a cup of tea for each of them, and then Shi Shiran said, "The things that fans are oriented to are difficult to sell high sales in themselves, and they can only be made up for by price." I'm just taking the medicine according to the prescription. ”

chatting in private, Zhu Lingling temporarily forgot about her image and etiquette, and opened her mouth to say: "If you do this, I'm afraid you will lose everything, and even the star's salary is not enough." ”

"That's right," Atletico nodded calmly, "So you can also see that I have never been very interested in traffic artists, and it is impossible to save a 'Little Fresh Meat 48' to make a movie, it's too troublesome." ”

"Star film and television dramas are not easy to shoot in themselves, everyone has to show their faces, everyone has requirements, coordinating the schedule before shooting, allocating shots during shooting, and sorting the positions outside the shooting, are enough to annoy people. With these chores involving energy and resources, if the director and producer are not tough enough, there is a high chance that the final film will be yellow. ”

"That's not right, right?" Zhu Lingling subconsciously retorted, "The box office of the first two films is quite good." ”

"It's only a little over 400 million, if it weren't for the fact that celebrities don't want to be paid, and the distribution cost is relatively low, it is likely to lose money in the end. In recent years, there have been more and more screens, and the total box office has swelled like a balloon, and the 400 million box office is no longer enough to watch. The first part ranked third in 09, and the second part ranked sixth in 11, and this one can't even keep the sixth place unless it really does 1.6 billion. ”

Hearing the boss mention the box office list, Zhu Lingling also sighed with emotion, "There is also our contribution here." Alas, it's a pity. ”

Atletico was pouring water to clean the tea set, and when he heard her sigh, he couldn't help but ask, "What did you think of again?"

"The Wandering Earth was chosen wrongly, if it had been put in July, Fast and Furious 8 would have been pulled down by now. ”

Although it has not yet been completely released, due to the weakening of box office sales in major markets, the global box office of "Wandering" has stayed at the figure of 5.9 billion for a week, and the possibility of making a whole number into 6 billion is getting smaller and smaller. But even so, the box office revenue of $890 million sent it to the 48th place in the global box office charts, behind Harry Potter Goblet of Fire and Spider-Man 3, and before Ice Age 3.

The first time a domestic film entered the global list, it won the top 50 in one fell swoop, which is naturally a good thing worth writing about. The only regret is its domestic box office, the box office of 2.2 billion is not a lot, but it can only be regarded as the second in the year and the sixth in the overall list. In the eyes of the media and netizens, the reason why the mainland box office is only "so little" is largely due to the schedule selected by Bee Shadow for it, and the positive "Pirate 5", "Wonder Woman", and "Transformers 5" are hard, but they have also lost a lot of potential box office.

"What's the matter with those false names? It's not that you don't know the purpose of the company. ”

Atletico didn't care much and criticized the female assistant.

What does the boss mean, of course Zhu Lingling is clear, this movie is actually a super luxury image promotional film of the bee department, seeking fame and fame has been fulfilled, and the box office share is considered to have met the requirements as long as the capital is guaranteed, and now the task has been overfulfilled, so it should not be Longwangshu.

However, she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, and was about to say something, when there was a knock on the door in her ears.

"Bang Bang!"

Atletico Madrid's "visitor management" panel suddenly appeared: the sound interval is 0.12 seconds, the knock height is 1.69 meters, 88% it is likely to be Dunley, do you call the IFI radar for more information?

Ignoring the automatic pop-up message, Atletico turned to the door and shouted: "Please come in!"

Even without an admin panel, he could guess who a person was by ear alone.

The door opened, and sure enough, a tall young man appeared at the door, it was Deng Lei, and his position was the general manager of Beeyou's "Strong Oxidant" studio.

Deng Lei is dressed in a black T-shirt, wide-legged cropped pants, and summer hiking boots, but Atletico has long been surprised. With a stronger sense of smell than ordinary people, he also smelled a faint smell of food, alcohol, and perfume from the other party's clothes, obviously this guy participated in some kind of drinking party or banquet, and then came to his side without taking a shower and changing clothes.

With so many gamers gathering in the Magic City because of Chinajoy, it is natural that they will not be satisfied with the exhibitions and forums during the day, and when night falls, there will be a variety of social gatherings waiting for them. Because of Bee Games' leading position in the industry, all the executives in the magic capital, whether it is CEO Xu Zhong or the general managers of its major studios, have received many invitations to drinking parties, tea parties and parties. Deng Lei had previously attended a themed gathering of his gaming peers, but now he was here to report on the situation.

Beckoning Deng Lei to sit opposite him, Atletico Madrid did not rush to ask about the situation, but lifted the teapot and poured a cup of Tieguanyin, and gently put it on the opposite side.

Whether it is traditional customs or modern research, it has been proved that hot tea is more able to relieve the heat, and drinking hot tea in summer is the best way to relieve the heat. Of course, what can relieve the heat more than tea is the refrigeration and air conditioning with full power. Under the efficient operation of the compressor, the temperature of the room is always maintained at the level of 26 degrees Celsius, and there is no increase due to boiling water to cook tea, so you can naturally enjoy the aroma of tea.

"Thank you, boss," taking the hot tea, Deng Lei lowered his head and sniffed, and praised: "Good tea, rich fragrance, refreshing and refreshing." ”

Atletico Madrid didn't answer, and shook off a smile that continued to praise him.

It's a pity that the guy opposite is obviously a rough man who doesn't move to "watch tea", and he can only laugh to relieve the embarrassment.

Smiling and taking a sip of the cup in front of him, Atletico Madrid did not embarrass his subordinates and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"Hmm!" Deng Lei calmed down and said, "Eating chicken may be yellow." ”

"Strong Oxidant" is a shooting online game studio owned by Bee Game, and the party he invited to participate in is also a shooting theme, to be precise, "Chicken Eating Party". The "Battle Royale" gameplay is too popular, and the industry will naturally not be indifferent, and the agent can't get it, and there is no problem with "independent research and development" after all.

Shooting online games are different from stand-alone games, stand-alone games can emphasize the movie-style plot experience, but the fun of online games lies in the cooperation and confrontation between people, and the difference is only in the different gameplay packaging. The gameplay is not protected, when the anti-terrorist bandits, resident evil, knife battles, vehicle battles, and water gun battles are gradually popularized in various shooting games, the emerging "battle royale" gameplay naturally cannot escape the fate of being copied by copycats.

Manufacturers of all sizes are sharpening their knives and wanting to eat chicken, and the only thing that stands in front of them is the problem of the game's three views.

Since it is known as the "ninth art", games, like other arts, naturally have their own worldview, values, and outlook on life. Usually, players are more concerned about whether it is fun or not, and game companies only look at whether they make money or not, and only independent producers whose ideals have never been extinguished will be keen to express their thoughts about the world and life through games. The problem with the "Battle Royale" gameplay is that under the surface of "defeat the opponent and eat chicken happily", there is a strong distrust of "everyone is the enemy". People in their right mind know that this is just fiction, but the relevant experts who can't stand the care of minors will think too much.
