Chapter 528: Classic Science Fiction Movie (Second Update)
Among so many movies in the Spring Festival file, the movie with the best reputation is the one with the lowest film schedule!
Netizens have begun to complain about "Immortality", this is not the treatment it deserves, it should be seen by more people!
Discussing the quality of a film is a topic of opinion, and the recognized good film is not necessarily good, but the recognized bad film is certainly bad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since last year, in Douban movies, there are very few domestic films that can pass the passing line with 6 points, and there are bad movies every year, especially this year, and it has even become a disaster!
In January, a blogger was working on the top ten bad movies of the year, but after netizens voted, they found that even the top 20 bad movies and 30 bad movies can be selected!
Anxious capital + original author with money grabbing written on his face + screenwriter who can only copy and paste + director who is pretending to be an art director + little fresh meat and little fresh girl and their believers and fans = the audience who takes all the orders
This film market has become impetuous, there is a lot of foreign investment, and even some old film companies are impatient, since they can make money by making bad movies, who will make good movies?
Of course, this is not all the actors' pots, the screenwriter and director are also responsible, for example, the extremely rotten script of "Legend of the Gods" is a scum, what kind of genius screenwriter can make the familiar Romance of the Gods into such a nondescript sci-fi style?
In addition, the director is also an important reason, the director of many bad movies is making a movie for the first time, people with special effects skills can be directors, screenwriters, art directors, directors of photography, and even authors.
The director himself must first have enough skills and a certain amount of experience, if he has not taken a single acting class, how can he guide the actors? These directors who come from across borders are almost all blind directors, and of course the actors can only follow a few blind performances, so it is not surprising that bad movies are not surprising!
A good movie, every shot has to be carefully crafted, and every minute of editing also needs to be thought about repeatedly, and a director with a crossover background such as special effects will definitely be lacking in directing performances and storytelling.
The main reason why these people can become directors without professional training is the lack of directors in the industry!
In fact, the lack of directors in the Chinese-language film industry is already a common problem, China now has about five or six hundred films a year that can be released in theaters, basically five or six hundred relatively mature directors.
But in the entire industry, there are only about one or two hundred directors who can be used in the market, so there will be many directors who come from across the border!
When Lin Han himself just crossed over, he thought about making a lot of money and filming "Immortality", but he gave up this unrealistic idea.
Because at that time, he had no money, no connections, and no directing ability!
The original owner of his body is a top student who graduated from the directing department, and after absorbing the learning experience of the original owner, Lin Han also spent a long time studying and practicing on his own, and then he filmed this "Immortality" to practice.
Of course, he wants to shoot "The Matrix" or "Interstellar" and "Inception" directly, but the problem is that he doesn't have that strength yet, so he can only grow up slowly and down-to-earth!
The most important thing about this "Immortality" is to show his script ability, and in the position of director, Lin Han has done a very good job and is quite outstanding.
The most important thing is that he will not be regarded as those directors who are halfway monks, in the eyes of many people, Lin Han is a director from a professional class, and he is very popular!
The director's cut version of "Out of the Solar System" has rehabilitated the reputation of the original owner, and the score of the Douban movie has also risen to 6.8 points, and it took a long time to go from a bad movie to a qualified film.
Now that bad movies are in charge, what is the future of domestic films?
"Don't say why all the movies you see now are bad movies, because so many viewers are willing to watch them!"
"That's it, if you watch a bad movie, you still have to scold it for being bad, don't watch it at all, how good it is to boycott bad movies!"
"Movie theaters too, why don't you give movies like "Immortality" more schedules? Good movies don't support it!"
"People who say that there are no good movies to watch are self-inflicted, and boycotting bad movies starts with me!"
"It's not that I don't want to support "Immortality", it's just that there are no films scheduled here, do I have to spend several times the price of travel expenses in order to watch a movie?"
"Alas, I hope those theater managers will take a look and see how good the attendance rate and reputation of "Immortality" are, so that such movies should be screened more!"
"Support good domestic films, support director Lin Han!"
""Immortality" is really a classic, don't underestimate it. ”
Chang'e Pictures, as the distributor, saw the public opinion support here, and their distribution department also began to make efforts, and movies with word-of-mouth support can get more box office.
Now the schedule of "Immortality" is indeed the lowest among the Spring Festival movies, with 1,500 screenings accounting for only 0.5% of the total, but its real-time box office has left another movie a big cut!
"Forgetful Village" is a romantic comedy film produced by several well-known actors, and this movie is scheduled for 1.8% on the first day of the Lunar New Year, with a total of 5,500 screenings nationwide, more than three times that of "Immortality".
But in terms of the real-time box office, "Forgetful Village" is only 2.2 million yuan today, and "Immortality" has won 4.2 million at the box office, and it is not difficult to hit 5 million.
In such an unfavorable situation of film scheduling, "Immortality" can still achieve twice the box office of its opponent, which is really rare!
Whether it is the rating on the Internet or the real box office, "Immortality" is an excellent kind, so Chang'e Pictures simply contacted familiar film critics and asked them to help build momentum, and use a dignified posture to make the theater change its original idea!
Nowadays, many distributors are using various ways to increase the schedule of their films, such as rebates or something, that is, to divide their part of the box office to the theater chain, so as to obtain the support of the theater chain.
But the word-of-mouth explosion of "Immortality" has become a foregone conclusion, since it is a movie that can make money, it will definitely cancel some movies with poor attendance and give it to it!
It's just that such a reaction still takes time, and what "Immortality" lacks most now is time!
What Chang'e Pictures has to do is to shorten the response time of theaters, so that they can increase the schedule of "Immortality" on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year.
……
The Spring Festival movie is so popular, and the film critics who live by writing film reviews also worked over, and followed the crowd to see this movie that made a lot of noise on the Internet, and it is known as the last brilliant sci-fi film of domestic films that is worth their good look.
The well-known film publication "Watching Movies" published a film review titled "If there is really an immortal person, what is he doing now" in its electronic publication!
The article reads: "Today, I watched a movie that tells a different science fiction story, and the name of this movie is "Immortality".
It is said that the cost is only 100,000 yuan, and there are a total of 8 actors in the whole movie, of which 5 are real professors and only 3 are actors!
The story begins with the resignation of Wang Yong, a history professor at Peking University, who decides to share his biggest secret with his good friend who came to see him off before leaving, and then the story unfolds:
In this story, he is a human who has lived for 14,000 years, not only experienced the transition from the Stone Age to modern times, but also met various historical celebrities, and even the incarnation of the founder of Taoism, following the Buddha to learn his philosophy.
Finally, they talked about the question of faith and religion, what kind of faith would a human being who has lived for 14,000 years have?
"Immortality" does not play with the concept of showmanship, only a self-reflective composure. Although the communication between the protagonist and the professors is full of academic knowledge in various professional fields, this does not make the whole film seem obscure, because the topics it wants to explore have broken through the limited length of this life and reached the realm of eternity. ”
The well-known film critic Night Knight on Weibo also spoke highly of it, "The only thing that can be called excellent word-of-mouth in the Spring Festival file is this movie." The whole film of "Immortality" is basically composed of dialogue, and one house, eight people is enough to support such a work that runs through thousands of years of human history, and at the same time is thought-provoking. ”
"In the medium of film, Lin Han uses an almost drama-like regulation to complete the creation, which is like putting a heavy shackle on himself, after stripping away all special effects, montages, and gorgeous editing, he can still grab the audience's attention and make them fall into deep thinking, only by relying on outstanding plot settings and excellent performances of actors.
When Xu Jiayan plays the protagonist Wang Yong, his acting skills are natural, which is more realistic than the astronauts on Mars he portrayed, and we seem to be able to see an almost mortal God.
In particular, that scene impressed me, when his friends accused him of relying on absorbing the lives of the rest of the people to maintain immortality, Xu Jiayan's gloomy expression was very much like a modern version of Count Dracula!
Originally, I thought that Lin Han invited so many scholars and professors to make cameos, but I didn't expect that he would play the leading role no less than Xu Jiayan. These professors are probably really immersed in the plot, and they can't see any acting ingredients, they are the characters themselves, or the script was born because of them!"
On this happy day for the family, the film critic's article was seen by more people, and the theater naturally wanted to make as much money as possible, and now that "Immortality" is so popular, Chang'e Pictures' desire to schedule more films has naturally been agreed.
Among the pre-rehearsal films on the second day of the Lunar New Year, "Immortality" soared, with a total of 4,200 shows scheduled across the country, which is a lot more than the 1,500 shows on the first day of the Lunar New Year!
