The production cost of 2,500 yuan, plus the investment of more than 500 yuan to hire a water army, and the investment of more than 3,000 yuan in exchange for a box office of 50 million, as soon as this result came out, it was more shocking than the movie itself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everyone knows that making movies is very profitable, but they didn't expect to make such a profit.

The box office of more than 50 million is not ranked high, but this is definitely the movie with the highest output, and it can even be clearly said that "Buried Alive" is the most profitable movie in film history.

"If I were given 35 million, I would be able to get back at least 1 billion at the box office." Zhang Yao raised his index finger and said so, and people who didn't like it thought he was bragging, but at this time he had no confidence to refute it.

After class, I walked into the classroom with a spring breeze on my face, and said: "First of all, congratulations to Zhang Yao for creating a miracle, I have been in contact with movies for more than 30 years, and being buried alive has completely subverted my perception of movies." ”

"Zhang Yao, Film Report Magazine contacted the school and hopes to interview you, you can prepare. Okay, we'll talk about movies in other lessons, and today we'll talk about the film history of the Yanhua Empire......"

After congratulating him, the tutor didn't say much, but there was a commotion in the classroom.

"Film Report" is the most authoritative film magazine in China, and it has a history of more than 30 years, and the Yanhua Film Awards, founded by "Film Report", are also the most important awards for Chinese films.

As a film magazine, which movies are released in theaters each month, and what the box office and quality of these films are also reported, but it is different to get in-depth analysis and exclusive interviews.

It is also an honor for a filmmaker to be featured in a magazine, and it is also a symbol.

When Guan Haifei's "Whose Youth Doesn't Fly" was released, it was nothing more than a mention in the information section, and there was no more information about this movie.

Now there are nearly 1,000 movies shot in Yanhua every year in China, and less than one-third of them can finally enter the theater to meet the audience, and even then it is a figure of two or three hundred, so it is naturally impossible to comment on them one by one.

Anything that can be favored by "Film Report" magazine almost means that it can be on the stage of the next year's Academy Awards, how can it not be envied.

People who are mixed in the film and television industry, whether they are writers, directors or actors, who don't want to use awards to prove themselves.

Guan Haifei felt that it was very awesome for him to be able to direct a money-making movie alone as a student, but he didn't expect that there would be another Zhang Yao to steal the limelight.

He has lost everything, "Whose Youth Doesn't Fly" has been completely forgotten by now, and few people remember him as a director, and seeing that Zhang Yao is fame and fortune is both famous, I feel very uncomfortable.

This is called not dying if you don't die, Zhang Yao doesn't care what kind of mood he is in.

The reporter sent by "Film Magazine" is a middle-aged man, with a camera on his chest and gold-rimmed glasses, but his attitude is very easy-going, and the interview is casual but not casual, and he does not despise Zhang Yao because he is young.

The tutor brought Zhang Yao to the office and introduced him with a smile: "Reporter Zhao, this is Zhang Yao." Zhang Yao, this is the Zhao Xin reporter of the film report. ”

"Sure enough, young and promising." Zhao Xin stretched out his hand first, Zhang Yao hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and a handshake could be regarded as acquaintance.

The mentor then said, "Then Reporter Zhao, you can interview Zhang Yao here, and I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

"Teacher Huang, don't bother, I have a lot of longing for your college, it's rare to have a chance to come once, I want to look around, and I can interview while visiting."

This is the first time Zhang Yao has seen this form of interview, and the mentor was also stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's okay, let Zhang Yao be your director." ”

Zhang Yao is already very familiar with the corners of the school, of course this is not a problem, of course, Zhao Xin is actually aimless, and what he wants to go to most is the set of "Buried Alive".

"Zhang Yao, are you still using the props for the movie, can you take me to see it?"

"Of course, there is no problem, in fact, it was filmed in the school studio, and the distance is not far."

The school's studio is used for teaching, although the scale is not large, but it is often used, and if it were replaced by other movies, it would have been restored to its original state, but "Buried Alive" did not have much to build the scene, so there is no such problem.

The specially made coffin props were kept by the administrators, and such a phenomenal movie as "Buried Alive" earned a lot of face for the school, and the school also felt that it was meaningful to reserve, so it was not destroyed.

For the filming of the movie, Zhang Yao prepared a total of seven coffins with different openings, but in fact, most of them were also put away, only the upper and right openings remained in place, and the sand inside had not been cleaned up.

Zhao Xin looked at it with interest and said, "Did you take special stills at that time?" ”

"There are a few of them, I originally wanted to leave a souvenir, but no one paid attention to our movies before, so they didn't release them."

"That's good, you can just give me a copy, and I won't have to shoot again." Zhao Xin smiled and said, "I didn't expect to get the exclusive material so conveniently, it's gratifying." ”

Zhao Xin's interview was not so serious, it was like chatting all the way, and he joked from time to time, which made Zhang Yao feel extremely relaxed, and this interview format was quite good.

Generally, stills are also used for publicity, which is originally public, of course it is not a problem to copy a copy to the magazine, after Zhang Yao promised, Zhao Xincai asked again: "Zhang Yao, everyone already knows your experience, you started directing movies when you were a student, is it also related to this experience?" ”

"That's true, when I find that I urgently need to make money to support myself, and I can't do anything, then I can only choose to make movies, after all, this is my dream and profession."

"Then why did you choose to make such a movie as Buried Alive, and what is the source of its creation?"

"It's still money, and I want to make blockbusters, but who will invest in me? Two friends and I scraped together 2,500 yuan, and with this budget, we had to think of a story that could be filmed for that money. ”

Zhang Yao spread his hands, although the story was copied, but this is also a fact, if the funds are more, he will copy another movie.

Zhao Xin laughed again when he heard this, and said: "Although it is not appropriate to say this, but I am really glad that you are financially constrained now, otherwise where would we, the audience, watch such a special and excellent movie, so is this the reason why you starred in person?" ”

In those objective negative evaluations, many people have mentioned Zhang Yao, the leading actor, in addition to his acting skills are still slightly jerky, his image is not in line with middle-aged men, even if he wears makeup, he still has a sense of disobedience.

Zhang Yao nodded again and said, "I also know that I am not the best choice, but I really can't find a suitable candidate, so I rushed the duck to the shelves." ”

"After watching the live burial, many people said that this movie has given all filmmakers a revelation, and even many fans have criticized other directors and their works with it, what do you think about this?"

"The skill is to be sold, face outward, don't blame the audience for scolding your mother if you make a bad movie, after all, the audience bought tickets. In fact, what I have never understood is that those people have made a bad movie themselves, why do they still have the confidence to stand on a high place and despise fans? ”

Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this, Zhang Yao's response was not polite at all, and it would definitely cause criticism if it was passed out.

Many people can't deal with reporters well when they are interviewed because of their personal emotional intelligence, so they will always cause some trouble, and now Zhang Yao doesn't seem to be aware of these words, but more like he doesn't care what others say.

"So what do you think it takes to make a good movie?" Zhao Xin changed the question, and it would be easier to answer.

"That's also very simple, as long as you don't think the audience is too stupid, most movies now don't take the audience seriously, you can feel scorned when you sit in the movie theater, and you completely treat the audience as an idiot."

Zhang Yao's response was unexpected again, it was originally a very simple question, and it could be dealt with casually, but he said so.

"Isn't there a best example now, pretending to be crazy and stupid, piecing together outdated Internet jokes and treating them as comedies, this kind of vulgar movie itself is an insult to the audience, but I can't let go of my body, if domestic filmmakers are like this, they will never be able to make a good movie."

This means something, Zhao Xin immediately understood, this is Zhang Yao firing at Cao Falcon, and the movie he pretends to be crazy and stupid is naturally "Raiders Angel".

On Weibo/Weibo, Cao Falcon slammed "Buried Alive" for being useless, and now Zhang Yao also unceremoniously began to fight back, Zhao Xin also reacted, no matter how he asked, Zhang Yao would take this opportunity to vent his grievances.

"Take a movie I watched at the cinema the other day, it feels like a snowy mountain, and many people say that those who climb the mountain are fools, but there are still people who think they can conquer it. As a result, as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, some people fled, and those who gritted their teeth and insisted on reaching the halfway point of the mountain were killed by thunder. ”

"In the end, when someone finally thought that he had climbed to the top of the mountain, gasping for breath and wearing an oxygen mask, he was desperate to find that there were countless mountains to climb behind, and until the moment at the end of the movie, you had no idea how much his so-called comic ratio had no lower limit."

"I originally wanted to show my humorous and funny side, but it turned out to expose my IQ, in fact, if you want to make a good movie, you can take this as a negative teaching material, and making up for all the shortcomings of this movie is definitely a masterpiece. But I don't think anyone can do it, because no one can count how much the film is lacking. ”

"But the box office of this movie is not bad."

Zhang Yao spread his hands again and said: "The domestic market is like this, people are stupid and money comes quickly, so some people will become more and more shameless, this is pampered and arrogant." Filmmakers should respect the audience, but these people can ignore it, because they are not movie fans, they are just some kind of brainless fans. ”
