Chapter 121: Heaven is angry and people are resentful
Ninety percent of the investment in the movie "Crow" was made by Wang Shuai himself, and the other 10 percent was piecemeal investment from other places.
There are many benefits to the director himself accounting for the majority of the investment in the film.
That is, there is no investor forcibly stuffing people, there is no beep to change the script, and there is no designated shooting date for all kinds of messy and headache-making agreements.
In a word, Wang Shuai can control the overall situation and shoot the movie he wants.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, if the market does not accept it, and the film festival loses all its money, all the risks have to be borne by yourself.
Literary films!
Everyone's impression of this kind of movie is roughly a few things.
The idea is very lofty, the content is very heavy, the major film festivals are regulars, the mainland box office is on the street, and the overseas copyright is completely up to luck.
There are so many uncertainties.
The story of "The Crow" is too thick, so thick that it makes people feel depressed, Wang Shuai himself thinks that no one will really go to the theater to watch this movie, let alone watch it twice or three times......
Everyone's special and not looking for abuse!
In the interval between the filming of the film, Wang Shuai was preparing for the Cannes Film Festival, and after Wang Shuai returned to Yanjing on the third day of filming, he hurriedly took "The Crow" to Cannes, France to try his luck.
This collision is ten days.
In the past ten days, the copyright was sold so-so, there was no profit but no loss, he waited for the Cannes jury to announce the news of the shortlisted films, so as to prepare for the Cannes premiere in advance.
Cannes premiere?
Right!
Originally, no one planned to premiere in China at all.
June!
What's the matter, what kind of opponents are they?
The famous French spy film series "Bond. Quantum Explosion", the Hollywood superhero movie "Superman", the British magic-themed movie "Faerie Witch", ......
Although it is said that the domestic film protection month has ended, in order to create a posture that Chinese films are rising, the authorities have secretly helped the strongest opponents of "Hero" all move back.
Moved and moved, and moved to June.
"Hero" is indeed a god.
It has created a new era of Chinese films, making all Chinese filmmakers collectively high. tide, even many filmmakers feel that the era of martial arts blockbusters belonging to Chinese movies has begun!
But......
Glory is someone else's business.
Do you still have an egg for domestic movies in June?
Quante imported blockbusters, who dares to touch the mold of domestic films?
Whoever comes and who dies belongs.
"The Crow" itself is a niche literary movie, you take it to fight with these blockbusters, isn't this an old birthday star eating arsenic, don't you want to live?
Not to mention how many screens you can arrange under the squeeze of these blockbusters, let's just say that you have a lot of films, can you be sure that if you just schedule today, you won't be drawn tomorrow because of the bad box office?
The Huaxia film department is also very entangled.
Behind the glory of "Hero", there is inevitably a sense of sadness that belongs to domestic films.
In June, when no Chinese film was willing to schedule, the directors ran away one after another.
From the perspective of the director and producer, it can be understood, after all, no one wants to die!
But from the perspective of the level of the Chinese film authorities, this is not right!
It's all overseas blockbusters,
No matter how you look at it, you have the feeling that the Chinese film circle has become an overseas film colony.
That's not going to work!
There has never been a month in the history of Chinese films that are purely overseas films.
Why don't you have a Chinese movie to support the field?
Looking left and right, up and down, "The Crow" looks like an unlucky egg no matter how you look at it.
After three days and two heads with "The Crow" to talk to the producer of "The Crow" about the release, Wang Shuai was very annoyed at first, how to look at it and how he felt like a substitute for the dead.
But when he casually checked the recent entertainment news, he suddenly realized that "The Crow" really didn't necessarily hit the streets.
I haven't paid attention to Huaxia for more than ten days!
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang's popularity in the entertainment industry in China has gone crazy.
…………………
The sales volume of the album "The Girl with Wings" exceeded 250,000, breaking the physical sales record, is the physical album really declining, or is there a lack of good songs? 》
"The single "Meet", the CRBT download chart topped the first place in China, Jiang Shushu talked about "Meet", saying that meeting Zhou Yang was the biggest luck in his life"
In just a few months, these two songs have swept the entire Chinese ...... at an incredible speed
On the streets and alleys, in major video stores and shopping malls, "Meet" and "The Girl with Wings" will be played on a loop every day.
The MP3, MP4, and repeater among young people are full of the melody of these two songs, wearing headphones, sneakers and ripped jeans, and quietly shuttling through the crowd with both hands in their pockets, and there is a trendy smell that others do not understand......
A pirated cassette of "The Girl with Wings" for five yuan became a bestseller in the video store, and the commissary owner was so smiling that his face cracked, and he just bought a batch of goods, and it was sold out in the blink of an eye.
If you add a special extended version of "Meet", and put a poster of Jiang Shushu singing with a microphone, then this cassette is more valuable than the genuine version.
In school, during the night self-study break when the school is busy, many teachers who are very disgusted with pop music actually turn on the computers in the class and play the song on a loop over and over again.
Gu Zhao
Hearing this song, many girls in the class will look up at Jiang Shushu's desperate figure in the MV, they feel that this song is full of strength, supporting them to bravely face the next high school entrance examination and college entrance examination in a difficult night......
It was so hot that Jiang Shushu couldn't believe it.
Two hundred and fifty thousand!
This astonishing statistic made Jiang Shushu feel like he was dreaming.
Wrong!
She never dreamed of doing that.
Looking at the countless announcements and arrangements every day, Jiang Shushu feels that her life is extremely unreal, especially the thousands of fans shouting outside the major programs, and the various sieges and interceptions of countless media, making her feel like she has returned to the most popular year of the H56 group!
"Cai Lin officially apologized publicly to Zhou Yang, saying that she had indeed learned from it, hoped to obtain Zhou Yang's forgiveness, and was willing to use half of the song's income compensation for Zhou Yangfang"
"Plagiarism incident, so far, Zhou Yang has not made any response, nor has he forgiven Cai Lin".
"The Girl with Wings" brought Jiang Shushu to fire, and even made the word Zhou Yang rage in the music industry, especially after Cai Lin's plagiarism incident was exposed, countless media pushed this matter to an unprecedented height.
Almost all the reporters who participated in the coverage of this incident felt that the heat of this matter could ferment again, and I am afraid that it would set off even bigger waves!
The reporters sharpened their knives and stared at Zhou Yang all day long, waiting for the explosive news to come again.
Why?
Because Cai Lin's side gave in to Zhou Yang in front of reporters and apologized, but Zhou Yang's side did not make any response.
What does this mean?
It shows that Zhou Yang, a fledgling guy who made a big fuss, is very likely to kill Cai Lin, a little diva in the music world who was once pinned on high hopes!
Many reporters have even made some more eye-catching predictions about this plagiarism incident in their own media, just waiting for the next wave of music earthquakes to come!
"Yes! Hong Kong Island mainland co-produced martial arts movie "The Grandmaster", the theme song of the movie has been set! ”
"This is the best film and television song I've ever heard of when I directed a movie, and I don't have one of them...... But now I can't announce this song, I can only say that with this song, a new chapter will be opened in Huaxia's martial arts movies! ”
“……”
Just when all the media, all netizens and filmmakers are all eyes on the plagiarism incident......
The earthquake is indeed coming!
It's just that it wasn't the earthquake caused by the fermentation of the plagiarism incident, but a big earthquake in the film and music circles at the same time.
Huang Jiacheng announced in front of everyone that Zhou Yang's new song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" is the movie song of the "Grandmaster" movie!
Many musicians and media were a little stunned after seeing the news!
There is an indescribable sense of separation.
In their impression, Zhou Yang should have written a small fresh song!
But......
Why did you suddenly run to write martial arts songs?
Moreover, Hong Kong Island director Wong Kar-shing, who has always been particularly picky about all aspects, can say such amazing praise and tell the new chapter of martial arts movies!
What kind of music is this "Men Should Be Self-Reliant"?
The major media outlets are rushing to hype it.
However!
Huang Jiacheng's level of hanging people's appetite is indeed a must, only said the name, but did not reveal anything except the name, only said that after the movie is filmed and released, you will understand!
This is so special that everyone's hearts itch.
What makes everyone's hearts itch is still to come......
After Wang Shuai, who came back from Cannes, saw that the popularity of Zhou Yang was even higher, he couldn't stop laughing.
Then, he immediately held a movie trailer press conference and promoted the release date of the movie "Crow" for the first time.
At the press conference.
In front of countless reporters, Wang Shuai solemnly took out a stack of psychological diagnosis reports.
"A Movie ......"
"Two months!"
"Everyone is mentally ...... when they are making movies"
"But after seeing the amazing acting skills of Xiao Zhou and Miss Song Yiyi, we felt depressed every time we filmed......"
"I'm depressed, assistant director Feng Kai is depressed, assistant director and my partner Bi Funan is also depressed, as well as cinematographers, scene management, drama ......" When Wang Shuai's eyes were very serious, he seemed to grit his teeth a little "Everyone, you see, everyone is present at this movie trailer today...... Only Mr. Zhou Yangzhou's position is vacant......"
"It's not because Xiao Zhou is busy, it's not because Xiao Zhou refuses to attend this preview meeting, but because I'm afraid that he won't be safe!"
"Why isn't it safe? Good question! ”
"I can't describe how we spent those two months, we only know that when we were making this movie, many of the staff members were very negative and wanted to tear Zhou Yang apart on the spot...... Even now, I want to slap Xiao Zhou twice! ”
"So, if he comes, I'm afraid I can't help it, and in front of you, I'll throw this microphone on Xiao Zhou's head......"
“……”
When the reporters heard this......
Everyone's eyes widen!
They were thrilled.
I grass!
What kind of angry thing did Zhou Yang shoot?
