Chapter 65: "Super Body" is here
"Then why didn't you come forward this time?"
Chen Yang's question made Shen Lin a little embarrassed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since movies like "Little Times" will bring a lot of harm to Chinese films, why not stop it?
Why?
The most direct reason: Lay's Pictures' obstruction!
As early as the filming of the two-part series of "The Golden Age" and "The End of the Soul", the relevant propagandists of Lay's had already called Shen Lin to ask him not to give too many instructions.
The previous "Little Times" two-part series was because of Shen Lin's public boycott, which led to the movie being drawn in a hurry, and the single film did not exceed 350 million, which cannot be compared with the record of the original time and space.
This time, saying nothing could make Shen Lin make another move.
Especially after holding a viewing party, these people clearly know that "The Age of Thorn Gold" is definitely a bad movie, and they still push it to the market!
And bought at least 30 million at the box office on the day of the premiere!
Because the most intuitive option for many people to watch movies is to watch the movies with the highest box office!
Therefore, buying the box office on the day of the premiere is already the most common practice!
Not only "Little Times", but even "Strange Her", Shen Lin also paid nearly 20 million at the beginning.
With the intervention of these unscrupulous capitalists, Chinese films are really struggling!
"If I stand up and speak again, I guess people will have to buy murder!"
Shen Lin said self-deprecatingly, "Besides, I've been busy writing the script of "Mekong" recently, and I don't have much time to ponder "Little Times""
A mouth can convince others, and naturally it can also cut off people's money!
According to the initial estimate of Lay's, the first two parts of "Little Times" have removed a bunch of publicity costs, and relying on the box office alone can bring at least 200 million revenue to Lay's!
It's a pity that Shen Lin's sudden intervention caused the box office to fall far short of expectations.
100 million less net profit!
"Just let him for a few days, anyway, your movie will be on the way later!"
The relationship between Da Lao Wang and the CEO of Lay's is really good.
The big guys have come forward, what else can Shen Lin do?
So, when you're in the circle, you can't help yourself! There are a lot of things that you can't control at all!
You have to adapt, in other words, you have to keep the covenant!
Why can Shen Lin slap Feng Xiaogang head-on?
There is light behind Shen Lin, Wanda, Xiao Wang and others to support him, you changed to other directors to try, and you were drowned by Huayi's water army!
Can it still make you shudder?
Don't believe the saying 'rumors stop at the wise', if rumors really stop at the wise, then why is there still the phrase 'no wind and no waves!'?
It's like Han Shao, since the 'ghostwriting door', although he feels the same as before, it can be seen that his sharpness has disappeared!
In other words, from the day he made the movie, he was no longer the Han Shao he used to be!
All along, Han Shao was a lone hero, fighting alone against a huge machine.
His ruffian-heroic tone is built on such foundations.
However, he chose to include himself in the film industry. This is an art that requires the cooperation of multiple teams, needs to be connected and negotiated with capital, mixed with persistence and compromise, or more directly, it is more of an art of compromise and regret. Movies are different from writing, it consumes too much energy and material resources, whether it is a director or a screenwriter, it is just a screw in the whole link.
When Han Shao became a screw, his meaning was dissolved.
Three people become tigers, the power of rumors can sometimes really drown people!
By the way, "After the End", which was originally scheduled for July 24, quietly changed the schedule to August, the light doesn't matter, anyway, the cost of "After the End" has not reached 40 million!
To tell the truth, they really didn't expect the box office of the movie "After the End" to reach 600 million!
……
Many people say that in 2011, Chinese films entered a period of transition, from the era of traditional blockbusters with big investment, big casts, big directors, and big publicity, which had a big box office, to the small era of Chinese films.
Especially Shen Lin's birth!
"33 Days of Broken Love", "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", "Veteran" and other small investments have been exchanged for a big box office, and they have a good reputation!
and then to 12 years of "Thai Embarrassment";
13 years of small-budget films such as "Beijing Meets Seattle", "Strange Her", and "Witnessed by the Whole People" have done well at the box office and reputation, and many non-professional directors (Xu Zheng, Yang Caini, etc.) have transformed into films.
Someone wrote, "Traditional domestic films are stepping down from the altar and buried in 2013, and the last piece of soil is shoveled by this layman Guo Xiaosi." This gives countless laymen a reason to charge into battle, he can, why can't I? There's a Quentin in Hollywood!"
So more people went to the path of directing!
In the era when the threshold for movies is getting lower and lower, anyone can shoot something to express their ideas, and Guo and others are just representatives of these people.
But if you keep watching movies like this in the cinema, the overall quality is really worrying!
A good movie doesn't need any gimmicks, it can move people's hearts and inspire the mind.
The emergence of "Little Times" can be regarded as the beginning of a vicious circle, with countless bad movies pouring into theaters and countless people from other industries pouring into the market!
Shen Lin just provided an example of transforming into a good director, and Guo Xiaosi provided a bottom limit for these people - no matter how bad my movie is, can it still be bad than "Little Times"?
Yes, it's really hard to be lazy to get past "Little Times", but that doesn't make you a reason to make a movie, right?
If you have the mentality of getting a ticket and leaving, such a person will never be able to make a good movie!
……
Beijing, Wanda International Cinema.
At the premiere of "Super Body", both sides of the red carpet were filled with audiences and reporters.
Shen Lin took Yingbao's left hand and walked down from the business car.
The audience immediately shouted the names of the two men.
According to the usual practice, the host of the outfield is served by the person of Guangguang, but unfortunately Xie Nannan is on maternity leave, and Guangguang has to hire an external host named Zhang Dada.
It's not your average ugly!
"Director Shen, Li Ying, hello, do you have any expectations for the box office?"
It is estimated that he is a novice, and the first thing he asks when he opens his mouth is the box office.
"Of course, the more the merrier!"
Shen Lin looked at the strange-looking host: "What's your name?"
"Director Shen, my name is Zhang Dada, you can consider me in your next movie, I'll just play a trick!"
"Okay! I'll let you run a trick!"
Hehe, it seems that not only anyone in the director industry can join, but also the host!
"Director Shen, will Mr. Morgan Freeman attend the premiere?"
"Probably not, the old man is over seventy years old, and it's too hard to go back and forth!"
"Director Shen, I heard that the protagonist of this "Super Body" was Scarlett Johansson at the beginning?"
"How did I not know? Where did you hear that?"
Da Lao Wang even hyped this thing?
What about the bottom line?
"Director Shen, regarding the box office of "Super Body", do you really expect it to exceed 500 million worldwide?"
