Chapter 266: The May Storm Begins
Xiao Ran is full of confidence in the screenwriting of "The Supreme Thirty-six Plans: Stealing the Day"!
This kind of confidence is not blind, because Xiao Ran and the third senior brother Jinbao both watched this movie with ease, and they watched it in the cinema with all the audience.
First of all, under the operation of Xiang Tianyou's self-directed and self-acting, the quality of this movie is not inferior to the original version that Xiao Ran watched in his previous life, in fact, this "Supreme Thirty-six Plans: Stealing the Day" is a comedy with hybrid elements.
This film has a funny theme, which adds such as the plot of the prison film group fight, the plot of the gambling film out of the old man gambling stud, and the plot of the gang fight in the Jianghu film, it can be said that it is difficult to determine what kind of movie this is, but in the eyes of many people, this is a very cheesy movie.
At least many film critics don't like this movie very much, but for the sake of Xiao Ran's face, they barely praised it a few words, and what they said is nothing more than that this movie is very funny and creative!
But the movie itself is facing audiences at all levels, so generally speaking, cheesy movies often beat many so-called elegant movies at the box office, because you must understand the fact that elegance represents a niche, and the public basically still prefers to like cheesy things, after all, they are all vulgar people, and life is so stressful, you are always playing elegant, playing your sister!
Therefore, under the premise that the quality of the film is not inferior to that of the previous work, combined with Xiao Ran's own personal feelings in the cinema, Xiao Ran concluded that there should be a surprise at the box office of this movie!
Whether it is from the attendance rate or the audience's reaction, it can be seen that many audiences still like this kind of funny movie, and in the end, the company's secretary reported that the results exceeded Xiao Ran's conjecture. The box office on the first day has already exceeded 50 million, and you must know that the investment in this movie barely exceeds 30 million!
And the box office in the first week also reached 280 million. Let the entire film industry be shocked, and Xiang Tianyou, a young filmmaker with dreams and pursuits. finally started from the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts, and then became the role of the dragon in comedy, then the supporting role in comedy, then the actor in a small-budget comedy movie, and finally became a young director whose first movie box office exceeded 100 million!
β¦β¦
"This movie made me know a director and actor named Xiang Tianyou, I really like the killer Xiong he played in the movie, and he really played the role of a cheap man to the invincible Cheng DΓΉ, I just like this kind of movie that can make people laugh darkly......"
"I hate the kind of film critics who pretend to be profound, yes, movies can be very deep and elegant, but it doesn't mean that spoofed and cheesy movies are garbage. You must know that the audience generally pursues entertainment when watching movies, and this kind of movie that can make people laugh heartlessly can definitely be called a good movie! β
"Just want to say that a group of us laughed from beginning to end after watching this movie, so people who say that this movie has no value can shut up! Because at least in my personal opinion, this movie is worth the ticket price! β
β¦β¦
In addition to getting a very high box office record, "The Supreme Thirty-six Strategies: Stealing the Day" has also received a lot of praise, although some people will jump up and accuse this movie of having no connotation, it is completely funny for the sake of being funny, and even a little vulgar! But more viewers said that the film brought them a lot of joy. Think the movie is definitely worth the ticket price!
After the release of "The Supreme Thirty-six Plans: Stealing the Day", after Xiao Ran's script obtained by other community film companies, the filming has been completed and the release has begun.
For example, "Dragon City Years" filmed by Dongxing Film Company. The main line is the struggle for the position of the museum in the club, because Xiao Ran gave the full version of the script, and now the film classification system in Huaxia is very reasonable and advanced. So instead of being classified in a third-level industry, this one has not been cut at all. This shows the openness and inclusiveness of the Chinese government in this world.
This "Dragon City Years" can be compared with the Shanghai Emperor series that Xiao Ran wrote to Encyclopedia before, even if it is called an epic Jianghu movie in China. It's definitely not an exaggeration.
Dongxing Film Company's "Dragon City Years" was officially released nationwide on the third day after the release of Yifeng Film Company's "Supreme Thirty-six Plans: Stealing the Sky", although the premiere of this movie was not too big, but with its own strong quality and topicality, the box office of the film still broke through the 50 million mark on the first day, and after five days, the total box office of the movie has also exceeded 230 million, and the growth rate is a little faster than "The Supreme Thirty-six Plans: Stealing the Day"!
These two movies also officially drove the trend of community film companies shooting Jianghu movies, although Huo Dongjun of the original encyclopedia also filmed the Shanghai Emperor series, but after all, he is already a retired member of the community, and he is wholeheartedly making movies, it can be said that the purpose is much simpler than other community film companies.
In addition to these two movies, after the entire film industry entered May, more and more Jianghu movies came out, and the box office results are also refreshing the bottom line of filmmakers again and again!
For example, the two movies "God of Gamblers" and "Mr. Zombie 3: Mr. Phantom" were completed in May, and the final cumulative box office exceeded one billion!
At the same time, in the script that Xiao Ran threw out, Zhengxing Film Company, which also has a community background, took Xiao Ran's "Hardcover Chasing Girls", and invited three cross talk actors to play the three roles of Uncle Jian, Not Allowed to Laugh and Traffic Light, and the effect after coming out is also very funny, many viewers who have watched "The Supreme Thirty-six Plans: Stealing the Day" have chosen this funny-themed movie again, and the final box office on the first day was more than 48 million, and the box office in the first week was more than 240 million......
In addition, a Dongzhu film company bought Xiao Ran's script "Happy Ghost", but it only cost less than 20 million to complete the shooting, and the final box office result was 42 million on the first day, and the box office barely exceeded 200 million in the first week!
At a time when all the audience was amazed at how the whole month of May was the release of films from film companies with community backgrounds, at the end of May, the films under the Red Star Film Company, the most powerful film company on the rivers and lakes, were slowly released, but the effect was simply earth-shattering!
As soon as Red Star Film Company's "Crazy Boy 1 is in the Jianghu" was released, it immediately triggered strong box office revenues, and the box office soared directly to more than 73 million on the first day, and the box office finally exceeded 420 million in the first week!
It can be said that after buying Xiao Ran's script, the only thing that did not benefit was Yum Films' so-called military advisor Yunhu, after he bought Xiao Ran's script, he had always been in the name of insufficient funds and did not start filming immediately, but after the God of Gamblers was released and the box office was a big hit, Yunhu slowly started filming this gambling film "Gambler", but he was careful with his budget, so the movie was also very economical, but the process was also slowed down!
As a result, when I saw that many community film companies began to make waves in the box office market, Yum Films' "Gambler" had not even finished filming, and could only watch their competitors make a lot of money, but this is also the blame of the old guy Yunhu, who thinks that he is old and steady, but he misses the best opportunity.
β¦β¦
However, in the face of such a situation throughout May, various media also began to hear about it, such as "Yanjing Business Daily", which once reported Lu Yuesheng's illness, wrote in the film section of its newspaper: "Community film companies are piling up to launch new movies, and the screenwriters behind the scenes are actually upstart Xiao Ran in the film industry. Will the film industry, which has just ushered in its second spring, continue to slump because of this, or even decline again......"
Of course, in the face of such accusations, Xiao Ran's "Minbao" naturally would not allow anyone to smear Xiao Ran like this, so he jumped out to fight back: "Film companies with community backgrounds have always survived in the film industry, and when the film market is good, they will jump out to make movies, this is a problem that has existed in the past few decades, why did it become Xiao Ran's problem alone?" Besides, even if there is a film company with a community background, are all bad movies made? Is it just a gun to force the actors and directors to get to work? Under the understanding of the editor, even if it is a community film company, it is still enough to apply for filmmaking, and the salary of every actor and other staff is not half in arrears, and it is more law-abiding than many regular film companies, so why can't people make movies properly? As for Xiao Ran cooperating with them, it was just a business decision, when did he become a sinner who lured the wolf into the house? This kind of behavior of buttoning a big hat is really not worth advocating, if the industry develops well, it is natural that people from all backgrounds will enter, not to mention who provokes whom, as long as it is filmed according to the rules of this circle, it should be worthy of respect......"
The two different voices pinched up like this, not only in newspapers and magazines, but also on the Internet, but there were still many people who supported Xiao Ran, and many people thought that the movies that came out in May were still high-quality, much more exciting than the previous movies of extremists such as Mai Dou and Liu Jiabi.
And Xiao Ran, who has been the focus of debate, did not say a word, and continued to do what he should do, although Xiao Ran's film company did not release new works throughout May, but after the launch of the films of the five community film companies, it can basically be predicted that the box office will exceed 400 million, which means that each of Xiao Ran's families can share at least 60 million, which adds up to more than 300 million in revenue!
