Chapter 718: The box office performance is very good
Historically, novels have been adapted into movies, and there have been many failed works, such as "The Da Vinci Code" and the like, all of which have become bad movies.
But the success is not without it, and there are many of them, "Alive", "Shutter Island", "Cloud Atlas" and the like...... In short, this is often a test of the director's personal skills.
This requires the director to be very proficient in the grammar of the film, and with such a major premise, he can have the ability to transform the novel into the language of the film and convert it very well......
After all, making a movie is not a simple matter, and neither is adapting a novel, if a fan of fiction comes to make a movie, he may have the shadow of a novel, but more of it may make the movie feel like a novel, or even like a large PPT that has been continuing the story, rather than a movie......
That's it, the gap between movies and novels is difficult to eliminate many times...... After all, many things are different between the two.
The advantage of novels is that many times you can describe some things that are inconvenient to describe in movies, and even things that can be done in movies with a lot of things, for example, in novels, the protagonist frowns, and the protagonist feels very unhappy, etc., but in movies, you need to use the acting skills of actors to be able to express it. And it basically doesn't cost anything to create a world world in the novel, and you can create it directly with imagination, but if the movie wants to get these things out, it needs to work hard, and the novel may not pay attention to any detail of the created world world, but the movie is different, and the movie must take all the details into account......
Of course, movies also have enough advantages, after all, no matter how much your novel is written, it is not a magic pen Ma Liang, and there is never a way to really depict that kind of scene, for example, a very simple picture of a woman flirting, this is a technical work, and people with poor writing often feel very boring when they write it......
However, in the movie screen, such a shot, as long as you find a woman, impart some experience, and match the surrounding lighting and camera well, it will soon make some men move their fingers.
Therefore, the two have different G-points for their different audiences, so it is really not a simple matter to find out this G-point and accurately grasp it, which is also an important reason why Luo Mo's "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest" has not started filming for a long time.
It's really not easy to strike a balance between the two that your audience will like...... But such a balance is necessary.
Nowadays, the study of the tastes of the audience is not only limited to online novels, in fact, movies also need to be studied, and the scale of film research is much larger, the resources need to be occupied, and there are many things that each film needs to use in the end.
In such a situation, if you don't improve, you will be surpassed by others......
So Luo Mo's "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest" is not entertaining after all, even if he doesn't care about the box office, at least he doesn't want no one to watch it at all, so he also needs to study a lot of things.
At this point, "Brothers" does a really good job......
After the movie began, the texture that belonged to that era was created in a unique way, making people feel that they looked very immersive, but they would not be annoying. This is the same as his "No Man's Land", which tells a very cold story, but the whole process of this story can always touch people's hearts and make people can't leave the movie screen for a second.
The most important thing about the whole story is that Ning Hao has created the texture of this film and brought out the feeling and advantages of the movie, such as the part where Song Fanping was beaten to death, which made many people's eyes hot and tears rushed out.
This is in the novel, thanks to Yu Hua's strong pen power, and now on the movie screen, it is because of the director's control and the efforts of everyone in the crew.
The advantage of the movie also lies in the various sense of substitution, the novel needs to create a lot of details, in order to barely bring that sense of substitution to the readers, after all, it is text, and many things are difficult to do...... But movies are different, movies use pictures to create a sense of substitution, and many places will be better.
Under such circumstances, Ning Hao has brought too many things to this movie, and the plot of the movie continues the sense of substitution and twists and turns of the novel, and some sudden changes use some just right control on the screen to crash all the changes you want into everyone's retina.
Therefore, the movie has been very well built so far, and it has achieved an impact on everyone in many places, and the plot has always been in everyone's ability to accept, and it has not deviated from the character of the characters in the original novel.
Of course, it is impossible to say that this movie is all according to the novel, but when dealing with the difference between the novel and the movie, Ning Hao has a feeling of perfection.
Luo Mo was also studying when he watched this movie, Ning Hao didn't seem to have touched the adaptation of novels into movies before, but this time the things he made were really great, exceeding the imagination of Luo Mo and many others...... These things may not be very generic, but they are indeed of great help to Luo Mo's "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest" in grasping some spiritual cores and other things.
Everyone at the scene also had a variety of different feelings.
When the movie was finally frozen, the scene remembered the crackling applause, it seems that Ning Hao's adaptation of Yu Hua's 'endless novel' this time is indeed quite good.
In the midst of everyone's applause, Luo Mo tried his best to hide himself...... He also knew that he was now a favorite among reporters, and once it appeared, all kinds of things that had nothing to do with this movie would suddenly jump out...... So it's better for him to avoid the limelight.
After the premiere of "Brothers", sure enough, many people immediately pushed the praise of this movie to the extreme, of course, it is not a complete classic, after all, it is Ning Hao's first work adapted from a novel. But everyone's evaluation of this movie is really high, and they all think that this is a pretty good film, and the director has achieved as much integration as possible on the two different cultural carriers of the novel and the movie, and this integration has also been done as much as possible without traces, which is indeed quite rare.
Many professional film critics also expressed great praise for the film, and then it was released......
I have to say that the moviegoers in the Chinese film market are indeed a lot more mature, and everyone has more and more things to choose movies, and they have the ability to judge movies.
Therefore, these moviegoers have a great desire to watch the movie "Brothers", especially those who have experienced that era and are now almost all old people, and they have greater expectations for this movie, so the box office of the cinema has also begun to grow.
"Brothers" is positioned as a drama/literary film/family film...... In short, there are a lot of categories, but most people also regard this film as a literary film...... But after all, this is Ning Hao's work, although it is said to be a literary film, but there will be no less commercial feeling in it, that is, there will be few obscure things like this movie's literary films, and more will take care of the audience's feelings...... After all, talking to oneself and entertaining oneself is not the direction the film industry should move forward, and you can't always hold the golden sign of art and feel that you can hold your head high and avoid all accusations.
The commerciality and artistry of "Brothers" are well integrated anyway, of course, artistry naturally accounts for the majority, after all, not to mention how many people will jump to scold their mothers if this movie is made into a commercial film, that is, the novel itself is indeed not suitable for adaptation into a commercial film.
It is actually very reluctant to adapt a commercial film like "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest", let alone a film like "Brothers" that wants to be adapted into a commercial film...... That's definitely a lot harder.
After the movie was officially released, it performed quite well at the box office, winning 1 in the first week. 400 million box office, although in this era, many movies have a box office blowout, but 100 million box office is still not something that anyone can get, not to mention that this is still the first week to win...... But then again, after Ning Hao went through movies like "Crazy Encounter", his popularity is now very high, not to mention that this "Brother" is still a cooperation with Luo Mo, it is a movie produced by Qianmo Entertainment Company, and the previous reputation is also very high, so the box office of the movie is very good.
After the first week box office as a base, the word-of-mouth and attendance after the movie have also been maintained, and the box office of the movie has also been maintained at a level.
As a result, after the second and third weeks of "Brothers", there was a pretty good box office, and by the time the summer season officially started and "Brothers" began to paint, the box office of the movie had reached a terrible 5. 1.3 billion, more than 500 million box office, this is already a very good number for Qianmo Entertainment's film industry this year, and this is also a big power injection for Chinese films.
The success of "Brothers" also has a great reference significance for Luo Mo, which mainly means that this movie has a reference significance in adapting the novel into a movie, which is very important to Luo Mo.
It has been more than ten years since the acquisition of the copyright of "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest", and it has not started filming, and it may have been three years since he really began to polish the script and began to carve the script...... Up to now, many of Luo Mo's ideas have sprung up one after another......
He is now more and more aware of how he is going to shoot "The Three-Body Problem".
