Chapter 249: A New Beginning

In a boycott, "The End of the World" was forced to go offline in advance in the capital area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

A week later, according to the statistics of China Film Company, the total box office of this Hollywood blockbuster in six cities in China was 25 million.

Although it did not exceed 30 million, it was also very shocking, after all, it was only a week's box office results.

Think about it, if this movie is screened in more than a dozen major cities across the country for a month, then the box office is very likely to exceed 100 million.

This is quite terrifying, in the face of such a high box office performance, the senior management of China Film Company is extremely happy, which shows that their introduction of Hollywood blockbusters can stimulate the domestic film market and pull audiences back into the cinema.

When "The End of the World" was released, audiences everywhere demanded to continue the screening, and other cities also had similar calls.

This shows that the common people don't like to watch movies, but they don't like to watch bad movies.

With this data as a support, the plan to cause ten Hollywood blockbusters next year will definitely be supported by the superiors, and it will not be as difficult as this time.

As for the way out of the domestic film industry, it is not a problem that China Film Company needs to consider.

As long as they have a firm grasp of the screening rights of ten Hollywood blockbusters, they can make huge profits from them.

There has been a fierce debate in the news media about the box office results of "The Outlaw".

The box office is undoubtedly an important indicator of the success or failure of a movie.

Some people exclaim that entertainment films have defeated art films, some people lament that domestic films will enter a trough, and some people feel that they should learn from Hollywood and put down the shelf of art.

In the past, when film magazines or film industry symposiums were held, everyone would talk about entertainment movies without pain, and most of them had a contemptuous attitude, thinking that they were too superficial and not worth mentioning.

In fact, there are also entertainment films in China, in order to cater to the market, they simply pursue the box office, but such films are too vulgar.

Some people exaggerated the comment that it is "killing no one left, stripped naked", it can be said that domestic entertainment films are full of mud and sand, and have not formed a path of healthy development.

Directors who make art films do not pay attention to the market, they always regard themselves as artists, and feel that their films should bring spiritual touch to the audience, and the audience will be inspired and sublimated after watching them.

They face the audience as if they were preaching to God.

Some directors even complained that the quality of the audience was low and they couldn't understand the movies he made, but as everyone knows, the audience is their food and clothing, and the audience is God, and they reversed this role.

In the long run, this deformed film environment in China has been formed.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the blind command of the film industry by the upper echelons during the period of the planned economy.

This time, the screening of "The End of the World" sounded a wake-up call to the domestic film industry.

Now that there is a comparison and a huge gap, there is no way to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Conservatives are still holding their guns, and reformers are already calling for learning from Hollywood movies and being international.

This year is a new beginning for the domestic film industry.

Lin Zixuan doesn't care about the disturbances of the outside world, and only pays attention to the post-production of "Party A and Party B" and the promotion of the movie.

Under the coordination of the Beijing Film Studio, "Party A and Party B" is scheduled to be released on December 24, which is Christmas Eve in the West, and the screening time is a month, almost close to the Spring Festival.

If the box office results are good, you can apply for an extension of about half a month.

The main reason is that there is no one fighting for this time period, everyone is busy with the New Year, who will watch domestic films.

Chinese New Year films are actually no stranger to the mainland film industry, and Hong Kong makes one or two similar films every year.

At the end of the year, gather a ticket of Xiangjiang's big stars, and everyone will have a funny time, there is no connotation, it is exaggerated and funny, the audience laughs, and the New Year is happy, and by the way, it earns the box office.

However, this is the first time in the mainland and is not favored, because the film environment in the mainland and Xiangjiang is different.

Hong Kong audiences have the habit of watching Chinese New Year movies, but mainland audiences do not know what the concept of Chinese New Year movies is.

Besides, "Party A and Party B" is a Beijing-style movie, which may be popular in the capital, but not in the south, the region is too strong and the audience is too narrow.

Therefore, Lin Zixuan basically gave up propaganda in the south and focused on the capital.

For example, if he advertises in newspapers in the capital, or advertises on TV stations to find connections and programs to publicize, others do not pay attention to publicity, but he will not ignore them, but will make more fanfare.

This kind of propaganda does not need to be on Huaguo TV, Beijing TV is enough.

The stars who can get their hands on this film are Ge You and Liu Bai, Lin Zixuan arranged for the two to appear on TV shows, mainly to talk about some interesting things about making movies, and praise the highlights of this movie.

This year, the film market in China is extremely sluggish.

Zhang Yimou's "Alive" was banned, and Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day" was postponed, so it can be said that there are no particularly outstanding domestic movies, especially after watching Hollywood blockbusters, the audience is even more disappointed with domestic movies.

For "Party A and Party B", this is an opportunity, which may surprise the domestic audience, or it may be a failure.

This time, Ge You is out of the way, quite low-key and let go of his nonsense, just to let the big guy go to the cinema to watch a movie during the New Year, I have to say that the people in the capital have a special preference for Ge You.

They look at other actors and think that they are actors, and when they look at Ge You, they feel that this is like their own children, kind.

After recording the program, several people came out of the TV station, and it was already winter in the capital, and it was a little cold.

"Xiaogang is probably still in the editing room, or let's go and comfort him." Ge Yu suggested.

"Okay, bring him some dry food, I'm afraid he hasn't eaten yet." Lin Zixuan agreed.

Watching a comedy is very different from making a comedy, and comedy is very harsh on the arrangement of laughs.

Basically, there must be a laugh within three minutes, otherwise the audience will feel bored and boring, and the laugh is too dense, and it is not good to leave time for the audience to react, otherwise it will look messy.

Generally speaking, when the audience sees a laugh, it takes about two minutes from the time it feels ridiculous to the end of that feeling.

What Feng Xiaogang has to do is to arrange all kinds of jokes just right through editing, so that the audience will be comfortable watching it.

Lin Zixuan and Ge You came to Beijing Film Studio and bought Feng Xiaogang a bunch of food and a bottle of wine.

They ate and drank while chatting, talking about movies, talking about the future.

The three of them have gone all the way, from scratch, from TV series to movies, and it has not been easy to get to this point.

Now it's time for the audience to test, and for them, too, it's a new beginning. (To be continued.) )
