Chapter 354: "Rebirth" is finished
readx;
On June 18, 2005, the movie "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago" was completed!
For Wang Qinian, the biggest benefit of this movie is to feel how to make a good movie under the accelerated shooting schedule. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And the movie was actually made, and the effect was relatively satisfactory.
Because, for more than a month, the crew worked without distractions, and the quality was as slow as the filming for a year, each with its own advantages.
Slowing down the pace of the shoot is akin to making a sketch, meticulous and precise. And the fast shooting, similar to Chinese painting, will be a freehand, sometimes, Chinese painting is not as accurate as sketching, but sometimes, it seems very expressive.
There is no standard answer to who is good and who is bad in Western art and Chinese painting. It can only be said that in some cases, Western art is better, and sometimes Chinese painting is better!
After more than a month of completion, when the film entered post-production, the post-production team of the partner company first converted the film into digital format, and then skillfully edited it on the computer.
It seems that there are still many directors and film and television companies in China, which still use traditional editing methods. However, the editing and post-production of the small partner company basically use computer technology. Even, a lot of software and tools are independently developed by partner companies.
From the perspective of technology and patents in film and television post-production, the small partner company has applied for at least 1,000 international patents in film and television, and in terms of technical reserves, it has been more than one grade ahead of its domestic counterparts.
Even, including China Film, Shanghai Film and other film groups, most of their post-production studios only stay in the use of foreign imported software and equipment.
However, the small partner company has already invested tens of millions of yuan to develop related software by itself. Though. In the development of software, there are also imitations and references to overseas popular software, but at least it shows that the partner companies have also mastered the ability of independent research and development.
The film was post-produced, with background music, and the footage was edited and rendered.
By the beginning of July. "Rebirth" has been produced, and the summer file has slowly opened.
"Initial D", which was released on June 24, is currently dominating the box office market of the movie, winning the championship for two consecutive weeks.
"Initial D", which has been in theaters for two weeks, has already sold 35 million yuan at the box office, and there is no doubt that this film is more attractive than "Hancheng Raiders", which was released during the Spring Festival.
Under the operation of the small partner company, the domestic box office of "Hancheng Raiders" finally exceeded 60 million yuan. As for the movie "Initial D", it is also a film jointly funded and produced by the partner company and Media Asia.
Compared with "Hancheng Raiders", which only has a big fire in the mainland market, the performance of the overseas market is mediocre. The movie "Initial D" is a popular comic adaptation. Moreover, with Jay Chou, an idol with very box office appeal, participating, although the acting is indeed very average, the box office is very popular!
In the Hong Kong market, the popularity of "Initial D" remains high, and it has won the championship for a consecutive year. It was released for more than ten days and won a box office of 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
Furthermore. Taiwan, Singapore and other places "Initial D" are also box office hits. Relying on Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Nanyang region alone, "Initial D" is expected to earn at least 50 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. Other than that. This movie is an adaptation of a well-known comic, and it has also been released in a game version, so it has a certain popularity around the world. So. Not only the Japanese and South Korean markets, should be able to scrape some oil and water, but the European and American markets will also be introduced because of the theme factor!
Why? Europeans and Americans don't pay much attention to the "Initial D" comics and the game itself.
But the racing theme. In Europe and the United States, it is almost like basketball and football, and it is a theme of national concern. Racing movies, with a global box office of more than $100 million, are really a lot, and the most well-known "Fast and Furious" series is almost a money-grabbing artifact.
"Speed 1", released in 2001, grossed more than $200 million, and "Speed 2", released in 2003, still earned more than $200 million.
"Speed 3" dropped to $1.5 billion at the box office because it was replaced by Chinese director Lin Yibin. But then Lin Yibin's "Furious 4" was $3.6 billion, "Furious 5" was $6.5 billion, and "Furious 6" was $78.8 billion......
This is not only a Chinese director who has successfully accumulated the most box office, but also illustrates the appeal of the "Fast and Furious" series.
Although "Initial D" cannot be compared with "Fast and Furious", it is also a racing theme. This theme, which was seriously underestimated in the past, has proven to be a crazy money-sucking movie theme in the future!
In fact, with the light of "Initial D", Media Asia Company began to be proud again!
……
On July 2, 2005, after the box office of "Initial D" began to gradually decline, Wang Qinian's new work "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago" also entered the release stage.
At this time node, stepping on it is more accurate, because the partner company is operating a theater chain, so it is more understanding of the upcoming movie filming.
In June, the main ones were the release of "Initial D" and "Batman". In addition, there are more than ten new films released, and when they are released at this time, it is inevitable that they will compete with "Initial D" and "Batman" at the box office.
As for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on July 8, and Tsui Hark's new film "Seven Swords" on July 29!
In order to avoid being hit by these blockbusters to the premiere box office, Wang Qinian chose the box office recession of the blockbuster movies in June, and released his new films in early July during the window period when those blockbuster films had not yet been released!
Wang Qinian is not afraid of losing money, but ...... Face matters, you know!
He was afraid that the movie "Rebirth" would not do well at the box office, which would affect his face. Now Wang Qinian can be called the first commercial film director in China.
Internationally, there are no more than 5 Chinese directors who can compete with Wang Qinian at the box office. And Wang Qinian's basic market is domestic, so he can't lose face in the domestic box office market.
After "Initial D"** gradually faded, Wang Qinian led the crew to promote the new film "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago" in the BJ Friends Cinema!
The promotion of this film is not only in cooperation with traditional TV and print media, but more importantly, the TT portal under the partner company's own Internet platform, TT voice software, has also specially produced a special feature to interact with fans on the Internet.
Many media reporters who were unable to go to the scene for interviews also registered a certified TT account at the suggestion of the partner company to conduct online interviews on the Internet.
Due to the TT voice software owned by the small partner company, the registered users have more than 1.5 billion, and the number of monthly active users has also reached 30 million. It can be seen that TT has become a super Internet platform second only to QQ. Compared with QQ, the more important function of TT is that it can interact with voice interviews on the spot, without the need to type. Therefore, it is also very appropriate for TT to be used to hold a network conference.
"Excuse me, Director Wang, this work of yours, from filming to release, only takes two months, can you guarantee the quality of the new film?" In the TT voice online press conference group, a netizen asked curiously.
"First of all, to explain, the production process of this film is far more than just 2 months, and when I read novels on the Internet last year and looked for materials for film creation, I had already selected the scope. At that time, I saw a web novel with the theme of rebirth, and my eyes lit up, what a great idea, and what an enjoyable story! Before the Chinese New Year, I had already started to work on the outline of the script. In March, I began to find Zhou Xingwen, the originator of the rebirth theme in online novels, to join the screenwriter team, and it took about a month to spend more than 10 screenwriters and more than 100 employees of the partner company participating in the 'internal test' of the script. Through this massive feedback, we were able to refine the script, which was a man-hours labor-intensive task. During the entire script creation process, we found more than 6,000 bugs and deficiencies, and more than 100 people worked on more than 10,000 revisions. The final script was 70,000 words, but we actually created more than 7 million words. In other words, behind every word we have, at least a hundred words have been deleted! Wang Qinian explained, "The core of this movie is the story, so the creation of the script is the main work. The filming process is just a matter of using a camera to make a film of the story. After that, after post-production, the footage is made into a more watchable movie......"
After Wang Qinian's explanation, some ppt was also released on the Internet, which showed the statistics of the labor paid by everyone in the process of creating the movie script.
With the release of the statistics, all of a sudden, many people were brainwashed, and they were surprised to find that the 70,000-word script, the real draft revision, actually had 7 million words.
This astonishing comparison has made many people admire, and they feel that the success of the small partner company is indeed justified.
The numbers alone are very convincing!
Of course, if it is just one screenwriter, in order to write a 70,000-word movie script, the number of words deleted from the draft exceeds 7 million words, which is naturally a very painful and inhumane process.
But in reality, more than 100 people worked together to revise the script. The average number of creative words paid per person is only tens of thousands of words. Even if it is distributed to each screenwriter, their per capita workload of deletion and correction may reach hundreds of thousands.
But it's nothing, it's just that this month has been hard.
And Wang Qinian led him by the nose, countless people began to marvel, 100 people participated in the writing of the script, and Zhou Xingwen, the originator of the rebirth essay in the online novel, 7 million words were deleted into 70,000 words!
All of them are very exaggerated and have gimmicks, and after being reprinted by countless media reporters and netizens on the Internet, it is naturally a national sensation, and countless people have begun to discuss it, Wang Qinian's new film "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago"! (To be continued......)
