Chapter 233: Follow the Movie
This is also the reason why Xiao Ran likes the business war drama "Genesis".
The reason is that this business war drama is very real, and its portrayal of human nature can be said to be incisive, especially for the portrayal of capitalists.
For example, Ye Rongtian used a faded pen to defraud the school's checks for capital turnover, and then used smugglers to help him build a house and then call the police to arrest people, while Xu Wenbiao used Ye Xiaoli's illness to plan three levels, and legally kidnapped his third son with Ye Xiaoli's second son to extort 100 million US dollars......
It can be said that in this business war drama, the real and unscrupulous side of the capitalist is shown, and even the protagonist is still not deliberately beautified.
And in addition to the characters, many of the descriptions of the business war process are also very detailed and realistic, which is much stronger than "The Great Era".
So a work created with heart has naturally been loved by many audiences, and in the first week, when the live broadcast reached the plot of passing the three levels in the stock, the ratings had exceeded 16%, which means that there are still two or three hundred million viewers who like this TV series!
And the grievances between Ye Rongtian and Xu Wenbiao have also become the biggest attraction of the whole show, and another advantage of "Genesis" is that it does not deliberately belittle another character for the sake of one character.
So even if Xu Wenbiao is a villain, the screenwriter did not write Ye Rongtian as decent, and characters such as Huo Jingliang and Ye Xiaoli were not lowered in IQ because of this, it can be said that a real business war drama should be like this, all the characters are at an intellectual level The duel is exciting, rather than deliberately raising the IQ of the protagonist!
Authentic!
This element has become the biggest success factor of "Genesis", and the character of Xu Wenbiao has also been rated as the most interesting villain in the past decade. Because the whole character is a villain that the audience can't hate after watching it.
It can be said that Xu Wenbiao's change was forced by the entire business society, in fact, according to Xu Wenbiao's IQ. If he was willing to do whatever it takes, he wouldn't have to work so hard at all. It's a pity that the principles he adheres to were completely shattered by the entire real society in the end!
……
When "Genesis" was on the air, the box office of the two films under Yida Cinema Line was also rising, and a month after the release of "East Becomes West" in mid-November, the box office still reached 780 million, and the current average attendance rate is still 40%, I believe that it can continue to create a Zào box office myth.
And Yuan Biao's "Police. The current box office of "Cha Story Sequel" has exceeded 370 million, and it is still being screened, and taking advantage of the fact that "East Becomes West" still has an average attendance rate of 40%, Xiao Ran took advantage of the situation and released "East Evil and West Poison", which had already been filmed in his hand, at the same time.
In order for the high-investment "East Evil West Poison" to be able to recover its costs. will not smash his own gold paint signboard, so at Xiao Ran's request, the cinemas under Yida Cinema Line have temporarily given the prime time to "East Evil and West Poison".
And other neutral theater companies heard that "East Evil and West Poison" is the sister chapter of the hit movie "East Becomes West", and it is still starring Xiao Ran himself, and many actors of "East Becomes West" have participated, so they are all scheduled for prime time.
The box office results on the first day were quite gratifying, with a total of more than 30 million, but this is the golden schedule and the number of films.
After the first day of release, "East Evil and West Poison" had two different voices.
"It's a movie for a thinking audience. Xiao Ran's performance in it is very good, it is worthy of an actor-level performance, and the lines in it are also very profound, which is not comparable to ordinary movies. ”
"Personally, I also like Xiao Ran's performance very much. But to be honest, this movie has no merit at all except for the lines, and the whole movie has no theme to speak of. It's like a plate of loose sand, a movie made to serve the mind. is more literary than literary movies, and audiences who want to simply watch movies to pass the time may be disappointed. ”
"I just finished watching "East Becomes West", which is very funny. Originally, I watched "East Evil and West Poison" with the mentality of laughing again, but I didn't expect this movie to be sleepy, it is undeniable that this is a very profound movie! But my brother is just a mortal, and he can't understand such a profound movie, Xiao Ran, you better make fewer movies like this......"
"This "East Evil and West Poison" can be said to be the pinnacle of literary films, but everyone knows that literary films are still niche movies in the end, I believe that Xiao Ran is definitely bewitched by Wang Wei, a dead literary director, to make such a movie, I personally believe that the box office of the movie will not be too good, I hope Xiao Ran still doesn't believe in Wang Wei anymore......"
……
It can be said that because of Xiao Ran's previous accumulated character, many audiences and film critics are very polite, although they affirmed the quality and level of this "East Evil and West Poison", but also warned Xiao Ran that this kind of literary film is still a niche in the end, and if you want to make money in making movies, you still have to shoot popular themes, and some viewers directly analyzed Xiao Ran's transformation as Wang Wei is bewitching!
Xiao Ran couldn't laugh or cry about this, but this time when filming "East Evil and West Poison", Xiao Ran just regretted spending too much budget, but he didn't regret making such a movie.
The reason is that Xiao Ran feels that this kind of movie has the need to exist, although the movie is indeed a light-hearted entertainment, but it does not necessarily mean that the movie does not need to be ideological.
And this "East Evil and West Poison" is actually very ahead of its time, and it may be that it is difficult to be accepted by the times.
Therefore, although the box office on the first day barely exceeded 30 million, many viewers still evaluated it as a good movie, but the audience with an entertainment mentality entered the venue to watch it, so this "East Evil and West Poison" gradually became the favorite of petty bourgeoisie and young audiences.
But after all, the number of such audiences is still a little smaller, so the box office barely reached 150 million in a week, but the attendance rate has obviously declined, and it can be seen that the stamina is insufficient, so many theater companies have given the prime time to "Police" again. Cha Story Sequel.
However, according to the analysis of the current situation, basically when the painting is made, it is not a problem to get a box office of 250 million, which means that it can basically make a small profit, and at the bigger award ceremony, this movie may still make achievements, and it is not in vain.
In late December, "The Legend of Su Can" directed by Xu Guangwen on Jiayi's side finally faced the situation of painting because the attendance rate was less than 30%, but the total box office was also 360 million, which was barely recovered.
After seeing that the audience acceptance of "East Evil and West Poison" on the side of Yida Cinema was not too high, and the other two movies were released for more than a month, and the attendance rate began to drop violently, he waited for the encyclopedia to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The martial arts movie "Huang Qiying", which has been in preparation for several months, was launched!
Xiao Ran's Wong Fei Hung series of movies has achieved such strong box office results, and many viewers also know Huang Fei Hung's background very well, and naturally know that Huang Qiying is Huang Fei Hung's father.
Therefore, the subject matter of Encyclopedia's shooting this time is very clever, which is also the credit of Li Shengtian's strong screenwriting ability.
It is said that a total of 80 million yuan was spent on filming and publicity, which can be regarded as a big investment in Encyclopedia this year, which shows the current trust of the Huo family and his son in Li Shengtian.
And the release time of "Huang Qiying" can also be said to be very good, it happens that there are no blockbusters released on Yida's side, and the two blockbusters that are being screened are also about to be painted, and Jiayi's "The Legend of Su Can" has also been drawn.
After the launch of the movie "Huang Qiying", such a situation led to the absolute prime schedule in the cinemas under the two major cinema alliances of Encyclopedia and Jiayi, basically three shows were arranged every day, and other neutral cinema companies also arranged good schedules.
In addition, the martial arts movie "Huang Qiying" itself has a certain topicality, and it borrowed the east wind of the Wong Fei Hung series of movies of Shaw Film Company, so the box office on the first day was very gratifying, with more than 36 million!
The plot of this movie is mainly about Huang Qiying's father and son, who studied under Shaolin Zhengzong, returning to Foshan, of course, Huang Feihong in the movie is only twelve years old, and he is looking for a child star who is good at martial arts to play, avoiding conflict with Xiao Ran's version of Huang Feihong.
In Foshan, the father and son met a thief who specialized in robbing the rich and helping the poor, specializing in robbing corrupt officials and profiteers, and these people organized a powerful martial arts team, but they still couldn't catch this thief.
And Huang Qiying learned from the description of the arrest that the martial arts used by this thief were clearly from Shaolin, but because this thief did all the good things of robbing the rich and helping the poor, Huang Qiying did not plan to make a move, but after the government learned of his martial arts, he actually arrested Huang Feihong and forced Huang Qiying to arrest the thief.
As a result, Huang Qiying met with the thief, and the two hit it off at first sight, and finally designed together to rescue Huang Feihong, and punished the corrupt officials in Foshan, for which the local prefect was offended.
Because the officials in Foshan were his subordinates, and he learned that there had always been a so-called thief in Foshan, but he couldn't catch it, so the prefect personally went out and led his men to arrest the thief.
In the end, in the middle of the fight, the thief recognized that this prefect was actually his senior brother in Shaolin, and was expelled from Shaolin because of his greed for flowers and alcohol......
In the end, Huang Qiying decided to work with the thief to subdue this fake prefect!
The logic of the whole drama is clear, the plot is tense, the lines are humorous, and the martial arts is guaranteed by a professional martial arts instructor, so it is a martial arts movie of good quality, and it is full of entertainment! (To be continued......)
