Chapter 142: Spring Festival stalls
Of course, Nine Knives still expressed his respect for Lin Pingzhi in an interview: "He is the same as me who writes and directs, he is a real genius, I don't know what I can achieve in this film, I just want to fulfill one of my dreams......"
"He's redefined youth and tapped into the potential of it, and we're just following it. ”
This is said quite sincerely, so that many of the media on the island can't go down, the "dream" thing has not been used at this time, and outsiders will not be scolded when they enter the film circle to play tickets - even a salted fish has a dream, not to mention that some geniuses have proved that they have played tickets very well.
It's just that there are very few people like Lin Pingzhi who write and direct themselves, including composition and marketing, and so far they have grasped everything, and the mainland is the first person, no one has ever done it before, but it is not that there is no one who will come after. Director Bi of "Dream Showbiz" is the first person in later generations, he wrote this rotten and outrageous script of "Twelve Years of Sharpening a Sword", directed it himself, and also wrote the theme song, composed music and lyrics, which can be described as a real talent.
Let's take a look at the lyrics written by this dude:
"Dream after dream, dream after dream, show bib, circle circle...... We are pure, pure, pure......, pure
Isn't it a brilliant style, scolding Fang Xuan, terrifying?
So netizens gave him two points on Douban, but this guy wrote to the Film Bureau to say that Douban has a shady scene, yes, Douban's shady screen is too big, and there are still two points for this stepping horse, why can't he give a negative score? 99.2% of the negative reviews on the first day of release - a historical record, directly dumped Guo Xiaosi away.
Yes, the lowest score is two points, which means that almost everyone gives the lowest score they can give.
When "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" was not scheduled, people knelt down and begged for the film, and "Dream Showbiz" was removed from the shelves for re-editing halfway through the release, and then re-released, which is okay?
Forget it, don't talk about this, every author of a Chinese entertainment book has to take him out and whip the corpse, which can be regarded as a talent.
At the end of the month, Lin Pingzhi ended the tour of the entire album high-five, his album sales are currently in the early early three million, the growth rate is very slow, the matching photo album is selling quite enthusiastically, many people bought a book of Sven scum, and bought a shy big boy, and finally collected the muscle photos of the big handsome, so that the total is more than 10 million.
"Album sales have always been a trickle, if the later publicity is done properly and a certain amount of money is invested, I think the album "Lin" is still likely to exceed four million or even five million, you see......"
The employees of the music department worked hard to persuade Lin Pingzhi to set his sights on the vast countryside and go to the caves more, their department has no sweetness all year round, and finally the boss suddenly went to music, naturally to earn a full year-end bonus.
"Forget it, the publicity will outweigh the losses, and the cost is too high...... The physical album has this result, it's almost, and there shouldn't be a physical album with better results than mine in the future. ”
"That's what I said, but there are so many seniors in front of you, not to mention Brother Ge Xue, it's Zhou Jielun, which also has more than four million albums...... It's all so close now, why...... I think I can still work hard......"
"In the environment of these years, you asked me to fight with the album sales of their era? How could it be possible? People sell albums and sell songs, I sell faith, and they buy my albums and let them eat ......ashes."
"Then let's store the goods in the major video stores, at least give them a perennial recommended location, right?"
"The video stores you're talking about are going to collapse in three years. Lin Pingzhi was quite prescient.
"What then?"
"Resign yourself to fate, don't force it. The follow-up peripheral development is more profitable than the album itself, which is the path we will take in the future, and the physical album has passed its glory period, and it will never come back. ”
Lin Pingzhi looked at the number of digital albums sold on his official website and said.
……
The album has come to an end for the time being, and the prosperity of a circle lies in its own potential and development, to put it bluntly, the times create heroes. There are often people who are forced to break down why there are few prosperous times in today's music scene when the singers competed for hegemony in the past, and the current songs don't feel as good as before, many people attribute it to personal talent, what is the lack of innovation, in fact, the general environment is not good, and newcomers are not willing to work thanklessly to make music.
In another way, for example, the film and television industry, isn't it rising and flourishing? Xiaohua Huadan has changed for several sessions, and newcomers are like carp crossing the river, and how many Internet celebrities who swear that they will never mix with the entertainment industry have come to the film and television industry to pursue their dreams.
After the Chinese New Year, approaching the Spring Festival, the quality of the domestic films released is much worse, and after the troika, the Spring Festival movie viewing rarely enters a low ebb period. Lin Pingzhi was very glad that he chose the right National Day schedule, instead of being tough with the three directors.
Throughout the Spring Festival, the highest box office of domestic films is "New Shaolin Temple", followed by the derivative movies of Wulin Gaiden, and the third place is Lao Xu's "Carry on Love to the End", followed by "The Strongest Happy Event", "Joyful Event", ......
These films have one thing in common, they are all recreated with the help of the original IP, and they are recreated on the basis of popularity, and what they sell is a feeling, regardless of whether it is a dog's tail and mink, except for "New Shaolin Temple", which has been joined by many emperor superstars, the rest of the movies have made a lot of money without exception, and this year is also the year with the largest number of Hong Kong films released in mainland film history.
Among them, the most bullish coin is "The Strongest Happy Event 2011", there are five movies with the word "happy" before and after, one a year, getting worse and worse, until no one in the mainland watches it anymore, it can be said that making money is very straightforward, Hong Kong films are reduced to selling feelings, this film is naturally not much better.
There are several iron laws of bad movies, there are happy families, there are Yue Yunpeng, Hong Kong star family photos and it is a sequel, you don't have to watch it, it must be a bad movie, don't waste those dozens of dollars, don't feel sorry for money, but also heart for IQ and time.
The boom of IP movies or derivative movies has actually been revealed this year.
Shuangqing, the company is discussing the issue of film project approval, Dashuai has written a lot of books, but the expectations for the next movie are higher, whether to continue to make youth films to stabilize one hand, or to find another way, the people inside are arguing.
Lin Pingzhi himself tends to shoot others, as a company boss, he knows that youth films are more secure, and if he shoots two films in a row, he can still get the name of the godfather of youth films, and beat Wu Liu's youth film title out.
And youth films are quite fan-attracting, which is incomparable to other genres, but he is a man who has opened a hanging, how can he follow the steps?
