Chapter 579: Sensationalism
It was purely a tiger before, and even Lu Yihang was offended. By the time I reacted, it was too late to regret it.
But when it really came to such a time, Wang Zun really didn't dare to dwell on it anymore. If you show an attitude of admitting your mistakes, you may be able to redeem it.
So when Lu Yihang turned around, Wang Zun hurriedly followed.
"Director Lu, what a misunderstanding. I really thought that the investors had cheated all of us together, so I couldn't help but say a few words. ”
"Can't you just ask me first?" In the end, there are few people who can get along in the directing industry and don't have enough IQ. If the IQ is really not enough, it may have been filmed on the beach at the stage of shooting advertising videos and micro-movies for people.
Lu Yihang's heart is clear, Wang Zun will definitely not dare to offend him. Before, Bacheng was a temporary tiger, and he broke out in public without thinking about it.
So to say that Lu Yihang resents Wang Zun a lot, it's not enough. But Wang Zun has such a tiger character, Lu Yihang can be regarded as recognizing. This kind of person, it's better to stay away. Otherwise, maybe one day you will be implicated.
Lu Yihang didn't talk nonsense, so he told Wang Zun about the situation. It's still the same reason, quasi-second-tier stars, it's not time for you to pick a script casually. This time, "Tomb Robbery Notes: Seven Star Lu Palace" is indeed not a big production. Lu Yihang is not sure whether Shao Yifei's team can do it. But in the end, the other conditions are really good.
If the salary is given in full, Wang Zun will definitely not lose. If you can have a very outstanding performance in a crew with an average level, it is not impossible for Wang Zun to have a breakthrough in popularity or something.
Aside from the treatment, this time the script is indeed a breakthrough in Wang Zun's previous inherent image. In the past, Wang Zun played roles such as some middle-level police officers. To put it simply, it's more serious.
If an actor's acting path is too narrow, it is not impossible to succeed. But to put it simply, in the end, the drama road is wider, and it is more advantageous for the future of the actor. And the actual situation is that the play road is wide, and many times it can mean that the actor's acting skills are still good.
Especially with an image like Wang Zun, he can only play a fat man. The drama has been restricted a lot, and it can't rely on its appearance to support the façade. In such a situation, if Wang Zun wants to have a better future, the drama is indeed not suitable and is limited to the image of a serious fat chief.
This time, Wang Fatzi in "Tomb Robbery Notes: Seven Star Lu Palace" is first of all the funny role of the whole novel. When it is time to be righteous, when it is time to be angry, it will never be intimidated when it is in danger.
If the performance is good, it can indeed leave a deep impression on the audience.
If you really want to calculate it, the only thing in "Tomb Robbery Notes: Seven Star Lu Palace" that is really worthy of Wang Zun's discomfort is only the fact that Lu Ziping plays the second male lead.
But in the final analysis, your image is like this, and Zhang Qiling, who is not like a human character, are simply opposite extremes. If you don't let Lu Ziping act, will it be difficult for you to play Zhang Qiling?
Lu Yihang explained the situation, and Wang Zun also retreated very modestly.
This matter should have come to an end now. At this time, Wang Zun has actually determined that this crew is indeed worth staying in.
But because of his impulsiveness, all the members of the entire crew couldn't help but start to doubt the amount of investment in the crew at this time. The investment of the crew is indeed not too much, and Wang Zun already knows this. But this is one of the weaknesses of the crew, and the directors and investors certainly don't want this matter to spread too early.
Here in the film and television industry, things like small and big and high rates of return are definitely worth promoting. Your investment of 50 million eventually made a box office of 80 million, in the eyes of insiders and laymen, it is a situation where the brand has not been smashed. But if you invest 8 million to get 30 million at the box office. Ensure that the next situation is very good, and investors from all walks of life are lining up to find you to arrange the film.
So a lot of times, a small investment isn't necessarily a bad thing.
But this is the case, and it is often not too early to start promoting the situation that the crew has not invested much. There are several situations:
First of all, if you invest too little, if it is exposed. The audience has not seen this movie, but they have already learned through some channels that this is a movie with little investment and no big stars. Isn't the audience's own time precious? Just wasting it on a bad movie like yours? So if you expose these situations in advance, there will be a lot fewer audiences when it premieres.
And the box office during the premiere actually has a great impact on the subsequent box office of a movie.
Secondly, even after the movie was made, the director thought the film was good. Even at this stage, it is often not easy to expose the investment information of this film too early. That's right, the crew is ready to use this small investment movie to make a high box office. The crew is actually very confident.
But the actual situation is that without the test of the box office, no one can be absolutely sure what kind of results a film will be.
Take "Tomb Robbery Notes" as an example, if you start promoting our 8 million investment film too early, you will definitely get more than 30 million at the box office. First of all, what do you dare to say here, other people will directly have an idea that this crew is not self-sufficient. If you succeed in the end, that's fine. But what if you don't get that data by then?
The entire crew will become a laughing stock inside and outside the circle.
Xu Qing actually knew that as long as "Tomb Robbery Notes: Seven Star Lu Palace" passed the trial, the box office should not be bad. But again, there is no need to publicize it in advance. On the one hand, it is because Xu Qing does not dare to absolutely guarantee what kind of result the movie can be made in the end.
At the same time, it is really no good to preach everywhere in advance. If it fails, it is a laughing stock inside and outside the circle. It's just a success, and in the end it did get such a result, or even a better result. It wouldn't do any good to get the word out a few months earlier. Before the final box office comes out, before the crew can prove their ability, for two months, others will still regard these people in the crew as clowns for grandstanding.
And when it comes to success, the crew can be ashamed. The final result is still a proportion of 8 million investment and 3,000 box office. It won't make people look up to you just because you've exposed the situation in advance.
