Chapter 197: Desperate San Lang Chen Jiaju
The Huo family father and son on the encyclopedia may not have thought that such a low-level tear-jerking drama as "Dear Child" could achieve such good box office results, which also proves two things.
The first thing is that Xiao Ran's vision is so strong, Li Shengtian, who was favored by Xiao Ran and introduced to Encyclopedia Film Company, wrote such a touching story based on a real story, and made this movie with an investment of less than 20 million, and finally made a big success at the box office.
And the other thing is that the movie is an art that relies on the plot and is dominated by the audience's movie-watching mentality and feelings, and it is definitely not a certain large-scale production that can attract the audience!
What made Encyclopedia even more unexpected was the success of "Dear Child" at the box office, which also made the audience feel helpless about this world, so many viewers longed for a righteous force to be brought to this society. Cha Tales does exactly that.
In this movie, the audience saw a really desperate kung fu movie, and it was a real urban background, no longer with all kinds of fancy moves, but it was even more exciting, and it felt as if it was happening around them!
Chen Jiaju, who initially insisted on conscience and justice, after being forced to a dead end, the long-buried helplessness and affection erupted, and under the roar of disappointment and resentment, he used violence to complete the final protection of this world justice, just like the prosecutor Xia Lingzheng in "Law Enforcement Pioneer".
Colleague: "The superiors told us to see clearly before shooting, and we should be concerned about the safety of the villagers." ”
Chen Jiaju: "Then did they tell those thieves not to shoot indiscriminately?" ”
……
"It's not my fault alone, it's all due to the careful planning of my superiors. Well-blended. ”
"You stepped on your subordinates' shoulders to upgrade, have you ever thought about your subordinates? One of his men died. All you have to do is write a report and bow three times......"
"I believe in each and every one of you. But I can't rely on you! ”
"The law? The law is to punish those who do not have the money to hire a lawyer, and it cannot punish their ......"
……
"Police. Cha Story" was released in major theaters, and during the whole viewing process, every audience was watching with a very nervous and excited mood, and various lines deeply touched their hearts, these lines are not subtle and gorgeous, but they are the words of a real ordinary person.
In this movie, Chen Jiaju is an ordinary person, but he is not like his colleagues. Because he has an impact, is willing to fight hard, and believes that there is justice in this world!
When the plot progressed to the mall, in order to chase down drug dealers, Chen Jiaju slipped down directly from the pole on the top floor of the mall, and the whole camera made the audience's minds constantly appear those shining lights......
"Law Enforcement Pioneer" is already a very desperate fight scene, but I didn't expect it to be in "Police. Check the story" is a direct upgrade!
It can be said that this movie will definitely create a new era of kung fu movies that really play hard, and from now on kung fu movies will jump from a high altitude if they don't add a little bit of broken glass. Even the scenes of fighting on the train and on the plane are difficult to make the audience feel a little bit of turmoil in their hearts.
"Yida Cinema Line two fierce films jointly attacked, Xiao Ran led Yida to win the first battle, and the two fierce films were attacked. The trend of "Dear Child" has weakened, and the attendance rate has begun to appear less than 50 percent......" -- "Minbao"
Xiao Ran's relationship with Minbao has always been excellent, although now Xiao Ran does not have an actual stake in Minbao. However, Xiao Ran still gets a lot of the monthly sales share of "Minbao".
For this reason, the relationship between "Minbao" and Yida Group is also good, and Lu Yuesheng has taken a fancy to the characteristics of the newspaper's ability to grasp the mouthpiece. Therefore, the recent cooperation with "Minbao" is also very intensive, and the advertising fee for its films to be published in "Minbao" every year is not a small amount.
For this reason, "Minbao" has also completely become the mouthpiece of Yida Cinema Line. After the release of the two blockbusters, the attendance rate of "Dear Child" on Encyclopedia's side has indeed weakened somewhat, so "Minbao" naturally has to write a special account for this temporary victory.
As the creator of victory, Xiao Ran doesn't pay much attention to these things, this is nothing more than a means of competition in the commercial society, although Xiao Ran is reluctant to do this, but he will not be disgusted.
And now that Encyclopedia and Yida are competing, it is beneficial to Xiao Ran, so he just happens to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, anyway, he can do his own movie.
"Police. The box office of "Cha Story" has exceeded 200 million in the first week of release, which is better than many of Xiao Ran's movies, especially this movie also drove the box office of "Mr. Zombie 2", in several first- and second-tier cities, Yida's cinemas have screened these two movies, but there is no "Dear Child", for which many viewers bought tickets for these two movies at the same time at the same time, and did not go to the temporary theater camp under Encyclopedia.
This also proves that only one movie is good, it can't support the number of moviegoers in the entire cinema, because it is impossible for so many audiences to watch the same movie at every time.
"Dear Child" is under the temporary theater chain composed of Encyclopedia and Jiayi, and many theaters are showing at least two or three shows a day, and they are all prime time, but even so, several movies in other periods, whether it is a small-cost system in Jiayi, or Encyclopedia's own Jianghu movies shot by following the Shanghai Emperor series, including some Hollywood movies caused from abroad, the box office results are not very satisfactory......
For this reason, it also made them realize that there is still a big gap between themselves and Yida, especially when Yida Cinema Line has Xiao Ran, a demon, to provide the source of the film!
When "Dear Child" was beaten without a response, Huo Dongjun also began to be anxious, but the biggest problem is that "Dear Child" is still the strongest box office movie in all temporary theaters, so even if you want to paint temporarily, there is no strong movie to replace it, so you can only continue to release "Dear Child".
But after two Shanghai Emperor series broke through the box office of one billion, the Huo family's enthusiasm for movies also rose suddenly.
……
Encyclopedia Film Company, Huo Dongjun Office.
"Cheng En, now that Jiayi has poached Xu Guangwen, how is the progress of the new movie?"
Facing his father's question, Huo Chengen said: "The progress of filming now doesn't seem to be very fast, and the fastest will be completed in August, you also know that Xu Guangwen is more particular about making movies, and he has to change the script at any time, where is Xiao Ran so demonic, and the script is directly written once, I heard that "Mr. Zombie 2" was completed in a total of nine days." ”
Huo Dongjun also sighed: "Such a film talent, I'm afraid it will be difficult to produce one in a hundred years, but it made Lu Yuesheng pick up the cheap, and now the attendance rate of our "Dear Child" is getting lower and lower, although the total box office has exceeded 300 million, but the lack of stamina is a problem, the results of the few movies released are not good, and they can't be put in prime time at all, so we have to start shooting new movies quickly!" ”
"But what kind of subject matter?"
Huo Dongjun is also very embarrassed, the success of the original Shanghai Emperor series made them see hope, and for this reason, two more Jianghu movies were made, which were all well-known characters in the Qinghong organization, and even the Shaolin Five Ancestors were ready to be filmed, but although the box office of the new Jianghu movie also had tens of millions, it was far inferior to the Shanghai Emperor series.
So what kind of subject matter is being filmed now, even Huo Dongjun is starting to be a little embarrassed, he looked at the annual box office record compiled by his subordinates, and put his eyes on the first place, only to see that it reads "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition", box office record: 1,194,290,000!
"There it is! Since the Wong Fei Hung series is selling so hot, let's start filming too! ”
"We also shoot Huang Feihong?"
Huo Dongjun said with a smile: "Now that the box office of the first Huang Feihong is so good, it can already be seen from the title that Xiao Ran must have prepared a sequel, so if we start filming, we can't fight him at all, since he started filming a movie about Huang Feihong, then we can also start filming other characters, just shoot Huang Feihong's father - Huang Qiying!" ”
Obviously, Huo Dongjun can't see it at all, the success of Wong Fei Hung's film series, in addition to its extremely high level of fighting scenes, is more important than the depth of the movie, the kind of use of characters to express his thinking about history and interpretation of the entire era, which is a height that even the previous "The Legend of Ip Man" could not reach!
"Okay, I'll let Li Shengtian write the script!"
Now Li Shengtian has become the most valued director in the entire encyclopedia, and it can be said that he has great creative autonomy, and the Huo family father and son may not know the success of the Wong Fei Hung series, but Li Shengtian, who has gone to the cinema to watch "Wong Fei Hung: Lingyun Ambition", can see it more thoroughly.
"The background of our new movie is set when Huang Feihong was young, try not to conflict with Xiao Ran's Huang Feihong series in time, and Huang Feihong will also appear in our movie, so that fans who like Huang Feihong's movies can also be attracted, Huang Qiying is one of the Ten Tigers in Guangdong, and his reputation among the people is actually no less than Huang Feihong, so we started filming Huang Qiying, and we can also add some characters like Su Can and Lu Acai, so that the audience is more interested in watching this movie."
Huo Dongjun began to talk eloquently, after all, he has been making movies for more than 20 years, and he still understands what elements a film must have to attract audiences. (To be continued......)
