Chapter 289, family education film
"At the expense of the company, what Mr. Mo said is so serious, in your opinion, is this film really so bad?" A movie can cause problems for a company, and Xu Feng feels that Mo Fei's statement is a bit too exaggerated.
Mo Fei also knew that his words were a little unacceptable, but this film would indeed affect Xu Feng's film company to a great extent. The quality of a company's films has a great impact on the company's future, and if you always make some films that are not popular or popular, after a long time, only those actors who are not famous or just want to earn a little salary are willing to cooperate, which is a fatal blow to a company.
Of course, Tomson Pictures will fall into mediocrity in the future, and Xu Feng herself has no good production works in the film and television industry except for "Farewell My Concubine", which is not only because of the company's problems, but also because of her personal reasons. Could it be that he said what he should say, how to do it is still Xu Feng's own business, sometimes a person's thinking logic is not something that external conditions can affect.
He smiled and said: "There is a reason why I say this, Mrs. Tang, you also know how fierce the competition in the film industry is now, there are now more than 100 film companies in Hong Kong, many of which are Southeast Asian capital, in this chaotic situation, the quality of the film is very important."
As far as my evaluation of this script is concerned, after the movie is made, it will be at most a box office of more than 2 million, and it will be completed in less than a week, and the box office results at the end of the year can be considered good if they can enter 100. Of course, if Mrs. Tang can convince more theaters to release this film, the box office will increase. But this is not easy to do, and after expanding the scope, there is also a consequence that the painting will be completed faster due to the diversion of the audience.
Hundreds of companies are competing for the same market, and you don't need to tell you how fierce it is. The consequences of two or three such situations. I think Mrs. Tang should know very well that it doesn't matter if you are a film company just for fun, but if you really want to make something in the film industry, you can't do it. ”
This is not an alarmist statement, but the result of judging numbers based on a combination of memory, experience, and reality. Although I wasn't very impressed, I still remember a little bit. Originally, the annual box office of "Old Lady is Sassy" was more than 2 million, and it ranked more than 60.
And with the stirring of Mo Fei in this history, Phoenix Culture will prepare to release more than 30 movies next year. These 30 movies dare to guarantee that they will never be worse than "The Old Lady is Sassy Enough", plus some movies made by other film companies will occasionally appear good films, more than 40 is very possible, and it is normal to squeeze the original 60 films to 100 outside.
Today, the annual output of Hong Kong films has exceeded 150. There are a lot of films waiting in line for release. Hong Kong's cinemas and movie theaters simply don't have so much time for a movie to wait for the audience, as long as the response is not good for three days, it will immediately be replaced by another film.
That is to say, a company like Phoenix Culture, which sells every film, can have some good treatment, and that is also because the film is easy to sell, so it can extend the time. But in this way, collisions cannot be completely avoided, and when films from the same company meet together, there will also be competition. As soon as the news of "The Silence of the Lambs" winning the super high box office in North America reached Hong Kong, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and UA all began to operate schedules for this film. The box office performance of "Xinzha Senior Sister", which was originally being released, was also very good, but in the face of the more high-grossing "The Silence of the Lambs", it still has to cut a lot of screening time.
And "Old Lady is Sassy" originally had a box office of more than 2 million, after being squeezed by so many movies, the space on the film schedule will definitely be smaller, once it catches up with a popular film and comes out, I believe that it will be a finale in less than the next day; It's even likely that there is no chance of an official release, so you can only play it casually in some small theaters. If that's the case, you can imagine how well this film has done.
Just when Mo Fei said that this movie was not good, Xu Feng even thought that Mo Fei would have any personal grudges with Wen Jun, and whether it would be because of Debao Pan Disheng who would resist the scheduled director Shu Qi. But when she heard Mo Fei's words later, she immediately understood that she was thinking too crookedly, and people were telling the truth.
Phoenix Culture has never produced a bad movie, and Mo Fei's vision is not only in Hong Kong, but also in Taiwan and some other Southeast Asian film circles, which have been unanimously praised. Even the boss of the Phoenix Culture's nemesis, Wei Yifu, has to admit that Mo Fei's eyesight and ability are superb.
Since Mo Fei said so now, then the eight achievements of "Lao Niang Enough" will end like that, but she is really in this film because of some human relationships, does she really have to pay the price that Mo Fei said for this favor, but if she continues to drag on, the personal debt can only get heavier and heavier, she was so hesitant before, and even asked Mo Fei to help read the script, just because this accounts for a large part.
In a hurry, Xu Feng thought of Mo Fei on the other side of the phone, and had the intention to try his luck, and said: "Then, in your opinion, Mr. Mo, there is still room for salvation in this film, and if Mr. Mo comes to make this film, what will he do?" ”
I heard it very clearly, Xu Feng just wanted him to help, but there was really no way to start such a film, without a gold rod, who could turn iron into gold bricks.
As for Shu Qi, the director selected by Xu Feng, Mo Fei didn't care at all. Although he is now the publicity manager of Debao Company and does things for Pan Disheng, if everyone in Debao needs Mo Fei to hold it, it must be a beautiful thing, and Mo Fei doesn't believe that a movie can make Shu Qi prosperous.
But there is no way, there is no way, Mo Fei can only persuade Xu Feng as much as possible, no matter how much it is, it is not his responsibility, and said: "Mrs. Tang, I really can't do anything about this matter." The script itself is problematic, the topic is too old-fashioned and boring, and the content lacks enough eye-catching things to attract attention, and no audience will like such a movie. If you invest in this film, the only thing that will be damaged in the end is the reputation of Tomson Film and Television, and the film company deals directly with the theater chain. Losing one's reputation can be quite detrimental to future operations. Or you can ask the screenwriter to change the script, but I don't think it will be very effective......"
To make such a suggestion to Xu Feng is also for the sake of cooperation. It's impossible to give advice to someone else. As for helping deal with this movie, it is even more impossible to make changes to such a script, not to mention that changing other people's scripts casually will offend people, even if he will not offend people, he will not do it, it is better to write a new book.
And there is absolutely no way he can work on a movie that is doomed to fail, and he would rather ponder his script at that time. It's definitely not okay to always make some films from memory. Some time ago, the hit of a series of female-themed dramas gave him the idea of making a series of movies about Chinese women heroes. Maybe it's a good idea, or maybe you can do another Chinese national hero series, which is very interesting if you do it well, at least it will stand more firmly in terms of fame.
……
The day after returning to Hong Kong from Taiwan. Could it be that I heard happy news from Chen Pu again. After "Sixteen-Year-Old Flower Season" swept the summer ratings, "Beautiful Life" starring Honami Suzuki continued to lead, and only some variety shows surpassed ATV in the ratings of wireless throughout the autumn.
During the wireless celebration in November, the Taiwanese dramas "Journey to the West" and "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" were once again cut down by "Intolerable" and "Fengshen List" cooperated by Phoenix Culture and ATV.
As long as the TV series produced by Phoenix Culture can win over wireless, it is a good thing that ATV's own program can't beat wireless. This is of great benefit to Phoenix Culture now and in the future, if ATV's other programs can also kill the wireless. Instead, he had to worry about it.
Judging from the current situation, Honami Suzuki has gained a foothold in Hong Kong, and the title of the first heroine of the warm drama will fall to her sooner or later. The next thing to consider is how to maintain this momentum without affecting the emergence of new actors, and also take advantage of ATV's excellent channel.
Mo Fei quickly thought of a TV series, a very special drama in the history of Japanese television "Gently Hold Your Hand", generally Japanese dramas are broadcast once a year, but this series is broadcast once a year, for five consecutive years.
tells the love story between the male protagonist and the heroine who was born deaf, from the initial acquaintance to love, came together despite all difficulties, and gave birth to a lovely daughter, supporting each other all the way to meet a better life.
This series doesn't sound interesting at first, that is, some ordinary episodes add a little bubble to the plot, and if you shoot it loosely, it's a standard soap opera, and it's not even as good as some soap operas.
Actually, no, this series has a certain significance. Society is constantly developing, human thinking and thinking will continue to change with the times, today's society is full of disharmony, unhappy families everywhere, family members set up a number of barriers between each other, family has begun to move towards a strange meaning. The divorce rate is getting higher and higher, domestic violence, lover involvement, husband and wife cold war, etc. are not uncommon, how to run a family well, is a necessary skill that everyone should learn.
And this "Gently Clenching Your Hand" can play such a role, when you watch the first episode and then watch the second episode, a year has passed, at this time, you will see if the person next to you is still around, see if the relationship between each other is still as stable as the hero and heroine in the TV series, and whether your family has experienced a lot of ups and downs and happiness like the protagonist. After this kind of thinking and self-perception begins, people's hearts will also be gently touched, and holding the hand of the person next to them is the next most important thing to do.
If you have to make this series, it's not just as simple as filming five episodes, in his plan, I hope to make this series a real longevity drama. Filming starts every year or every other year, adding more family and warmth elements, and becoming a family education film that grows with countless audiences and their families, which can be regarded as making a little contribution to this society (to be continued)
