Chapter 226: "Journey to the West" is released
Fuyao has once again become a hot topic on the Internet, because a character in the story once had such a situation, that is, in "Zhu Xian", Fu Yao wrote the character of Baguio to death, which led to a great riot among readers, and asked for the resurrection of Baguio, at that time he couldn't withstand the pressure of readers and his own heart, and resurrected Baguio in the last paragraph, but it made the book "Zhu Xian" change some taste.
And Chen Pingping in this "Celebrating More Than Years" is still written to death by Fuyao, but this time readers did not blame Fuyao, because Chen Pingping's fate was doomed from the beginning, so his death was acceptable to everyone, but when he died, everyone was sad.
If you have to blame Fuyao, you can only blame Fuyao for bringing this character to life......
Chen Pingping's death led to the interruption of more than 1,000 books, this matter was discussed on the Internet for many days, and even appeared on an entertainment news program on Beijing TV.
wrote Chen Pingping's chapter, in fact, the whole book is not far from the end, Lin Xiao rushed to the manuscript for a while, and finally completed all the manuscripts and set them to be automatically updated, and Lin Xiao didn't care about it anymore.
Because it is about to be the end of the month, he is also going to report to the crew of "Xiaocui".
The movie "Xiaocui", renamed "Fox Girl", was filmed in Shuchuan, which is a famous scenic spot in China, with beautiful scenery and many ancient buildings, many places maintain ancient features, and there are not so many crews here, it is very quiet.
At first, I was going to shoot in Zhudian, which is the most famous film and television city in the whole of China. Most of the movies and TV series in Huaxia were filmed there, but there are some too patterned, and many of the same buildings appear in major film and television dramas, which is a bit cliché. So the chief director Liu Wei decided to find a more primitive place, and finally settled in Shuchuan Bazhaigou.
Lin Xiao didn't need to go to Nangang to meet the crew, he just needed to go directly to Bazhaigou, where all the crew members gathered.
Li Yating has already confirmed to play the heroine Xiaocui in this movie, so this movie can start filming so quickly. Lin Xiao packed up her things and prepared to spend a few days at home with Qiao Nier, and then set off for Bazhaigou.
And August 21 is the day when "Journey to the West" will be released nationwide, and Lin Xiao is also very concerned about it, after all, he is his first big-screen screenwriter, and he is still very concerned about the box office results.
Early in the morning, Li Yating called Lin Xiao.
"Today's movie is released, don't forget to go to the theater to contribute to the box office." Li Yating joked.
"Are you nervous?" Lin Xiao asked.
Li Yating smiled: "Of course I'm nervous, but what's the solution." But I believe in you, and I believe in my own vision, the box office of this movie will definitely not be bad! ”
The total investment of this film is 27 million, and the money for buying the script has reached 32 million, which is already a big production among Chinese domestic films, because the Chinese domestic film market is poor, so the production cost of the film is lower. If the cost is high, it is likely that you will not be able to recover the cost when you go offline.
Therefore, there is such an interesting phenomenon in the Chinese film market. Usually a movie is filmed, released, and then offline, and the final result is that the theater makes money and the actors make money. Film companies lose money.
In this case, the film company's enthusiasm for the film itself is much smaller, and the budget is also very tight, many times, a movie with a cost of 20 million has to find several investors to invest together, because there are too many examples of losing money and the risk is too great.
Some people conclude that this situation is caused by the impact of foreign films on the Chinese film market, but in the final analysis, it is not the level of domestic films, not that the directors are not good, not the actors, but in China, there are too many restrictions on rules and regulations, not only the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is restricting, but even the investors are also restricting, and some movies are filmed, and the script has to be revised dozens of times, do you say that this is not a great torture for directors and actors? In this case, how can you make a high-quality movie?
The plot and special effects are much worse, in contrast, those foreign blockbusters that cost tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, are much more attractive to Chinese audiences.
Over time, Huaxia's film companies have lost the idea of competing with foreign blockbusters, engaging in some low-cost films, not paying attention to the script and plot, and only relying on a few famous actors to pull the box office, and make a small profit even if they are successful, with this mentality, so the market for domestic films in China has not been able to develop.
August 21st, is the last train of the summer file, there are a lot of movies released this week, but there are no blockbusters, basically some domestic movies without self-confidence are doing the final competition, "Journey to the West" was released at this time, but also worried that it would be released too early and be crushed by foreign films, which will affect the box office.
"Okay, you have to be confident, if the total box office can be 60 million, it should be considered qualified, right?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Well, that's qualified, but it's actually better than you think." Li Yating said with a smile.
In fact, the expectation of these investors is around 60 million, so that everyone can make a small profit, and in such a big market, a domestic film with a box office of 60 million will be successful.
Judging from the film reviews after the premiere, the response was very good, and the film critics invited almost unanimously gave the film a high evaluation, which can ensure that it attracts a lot of audiences into the theater.
Again, in fact, the investor is still playing the idea of Fuyao, although in the process of publicity, the word Fuyao was not mentioned, but after the premiere, through the publicity of film critics and the media, the outside world knew that the screenwriter of this movie was Fuyao, which would attract a large number of Fuyao fans, from this point of view, this is the greatest value of them asking Fuyao to write the script.
With the support of Fuyao fans, the box office can at least guarantee that it will not lose money......
Regarding this, Fuyao only reacted after attending the premiere, he knew why Li Yating let herself speak on stage, this woman is too scheming...... Thinking of Li Yating, Lin Xiao felt a chill in her back.
With all kinds of complicated feelings, Lin Xiao stepped into the door of the movie theater. (To be continued.) )
