Chapter 752: There are only two movies

After the acquisition of Changhe Cinema, a simple decoration was carried out, although it was not luxurious, but it could not be a tattered look of the world, at least it should be clean and tidy, and the dilapidated equipment such as the seats should be replaced, which should be handed over to the construction company to bear, and the cost was not much. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In terms of personnel, Shen Yan's technical department transferred a young man to be responsible for the core computer room of the entire theater, and the film and television company transferred two employees to be responsible for internal management and external publicity planning, and the remaining employees who were specifically responsible for ticket sales and ticket inspection were all recruited openly.

It was much smoother than expected, and the number of people who signed up in less than a week far exceeded the demand for the position. It's really hard to find a job these days, the job in the theater, although the income is not high, it is better than stability, the people are relatively relaxed, the wind and rain can't blow, the technical content is not high, the essence and the waiter are a nature, but it is much more decent than the waiter, and the income is relatively high.

Officially opened on Monday morning, Su Ming did not show up, Hou Longtao cut the ribbon as the general manager, and had a simple speech with the new and old employees present, and the old Changhe Cinema was officially renamed Taoyuan Cinema.

Several peers in Yangchuan City were quite supportive, some sent flower baskets, and some came to congratulate them.

The end of the year is the time when a large number of people gather, but at the end of this year, the general meaning refers to the first wave of Christmas, the second wave of New Year's Day, and the third wave of the Spring Festival.

The films released during this gap period are generally mediocre, more than half of them do not belong to the so-called commercial films, the box office and response are mediocre, and the film market is not shocked.

Three films are slightly worth mentioning.

Master, directed by Xu Haofeng, starring Liao Fan, Song Jia, Jiang Wenli, Jin Shijie, etc., depicts a martial arts during the Republic of China in a realistic way.

Hundred Birds and Phoenix, directed by Wu Tianming, the leading figure of China's fourth-generation directors, starring Tao Zeru, Zheng Wei, and Li Mincheng, tells the decline of the traditional art suona under the impact of the new era.

Heart Labyrinth, directed by Xin Yukun, starring Shao Shengjie, Huo Weimin, etc., the film tells the absurd story of a series of strange things caused by an inexplicable corpse in a remote village.

Compared to the other films released in the gap, these three films have their own two points.

Xu Haofeng is a representative of martial arts films in the new era, martial arts films are not high and high under him, nor are they gorgeous and dazzling, but restore the original appearance of martial arts.

And among the three movies, Kung Fu is the most luxurious one in the lineup, although the reputation of the four leading actors is not as obvious as the current popularity, but they are all actors and actresses with solid skills.

The Heart Labyrinth adopts a multi-perspective approach, combining several story flashbacks, which is quite a Western absurd realism style. However, whether it is an actor or a director, they are not well-known, and people outside the industry have never heard of it at all, in fact, the vast majority of people in the industry have not heard of it either.

Hundred birds and phoenixes, a sentimental movie that promotes traditional culture and etiquette, because this is the director's posthumous work, the producer knelt down on the Internet and hoped that everyone could go to the cinema to buy tickets to support, which set off a small storm, but it is the most popular of the three movies.

In addition, there are eight released movies in the same schedule, forming a lineup of the gap period.

There are eleven movies in total, none of which are big productions, and the introduction prices are relatively cheap. Hou Longtao took Xin Linli to watch them one by one, and finally the two agreed that the other eight movies were all made up, and there was no more than him, no less than him, even if Su Ming wanted to take the route of 'good-looking movies', there was no need to introduce them.

In the three famous movies, unexpectedly, the two unanimously chose the Heart Labyrinth and Master, but gave up the most popular bird Chaofeng.

"Huh?"

I didn't watch the movie, but this decision was a bit unexpected by Su Ming.

The three films all have so-called art films, but Hundred Birds and Phoenixes are definitely the most standard art films, and they are currently very popular on the Internet, and the economic effect must not be too bad.

"If you look at it from the perspective of safe income, a hundred birds and a phoenix are indeed the most suitable, just kneel down at three o'clock for the national traditional culture, the director's posthumous work, and the producer, and the audience will buy a friendship ticket."

It was the first time for Hou Longtao to report to Su Ming seriously, and he was a little nervous at first, Su Ming nodded with a smile and motioned for him to continue.

Hou Longtao took a sip of water and said: "But you announced before that theaters do not take making money as the first principle, abandon all external influences, and choose 'good-looking movies'." So the so-called traditional culture, posthumous works, and kneeling, these three points are also external things in the final analysis, or a kind of propaganda, and they do not determine whether the movie is good or not. ”

Su Ming heard the meaning of his words, and said unexpectedly: "You mean to say that the hundred birds and the phoenix are not good-looking?" ”

Xin Linli was also in the conference room, Hou Longtao looked at her, the two nodded at the same time, Hou Longtao continued: "The theme is right, the intention is not wrong, the starting point is good, but...... To be honest, I was sleepy watching it, a movie with outdated shooting techniques, old-fashioned storylines, and stereotypical images of actors' acting skills, but politically correct. And I've checked, this movie is actually not down-to-earth, and many of the so-called traditions are made up randomly. ”

"The movie of traditional cultural change, the best I have seen should be Sister Mei, but it is a truly pure art film, and it has no box office." Xin Linli said casually: "No one harms traditional culture, ordinary people just want to pursue better things." No one mutilates films that celebrate tradition, they just want to see something better. The return of the Great Sage has made a new interpretation of the tradition, although it is not perfect, but it has still won a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office. This movie is also a bit confusing traditional culture with feudal dross, and I don't like it anyway......"

"Most directors, once they go up, it's very difficult to make down-to-earth movies." Hou Longtao also said.

Su Ming was stunned for the two of them, he hadn't watched the movie, but the demand on the Internet was very high, and whoever wanted to jump out and say these words at this time would definitely drown in saliva, and he would simply become a sinner and a traitor to national culture.

"Okay, you are experts in this area, and it will be left to you, you decide." Su Ming nodded, and said half-jokingly: "But what do you say about these words, don't let me go outside and on the Internet to fool around, so as not to attract scolding." ”

"Understood." Hou Longtao said with a smile.

peers kill each other, and it is not the audience who pays the most attention to the dynamics of the film schedule in Taoyuan Cinema, but several other theaters. (To be continued.) )
