Chapter 417: The National Day holiday is approaching, and the fiercely competitive film market

Since Xu Ji told Li Bokai that he should think about it more, the other party finally didn't send him messages so often.

Otherwise, if he continues like this, Sha Yetong will suspect whether there is something wrong with him. Then Li Bokai doesn't come up directly every time he comes up to talk about signing a contract, and likes to praise Xu Ji first.

The words are indeed misleading. Fortunately, the other party's avatar is a man, otherwise Xu Ji really can't explain it clearly.

...... On the other hand, after the broadcast of "The Masked Singer", the popularity has remained high.

The Faceling's own fans have risen by a few million in a short period of time, and Weite now has more than 40 million fans.

Xu Ji didn't expect that this would be the result. If this continues, I feel that the number of fans of my vest will exceed my real identity.

But there is no way to avoid this, first of all, it is true that the influence of the song "Qili Xiang" is indeed too high.

The second is that because the Faceling's true identity has not been revealed, it has an attractive sense of mystery.

Don't underestimate this sense of mystery, but it's a very good character design. Because his identity has not been revealed, in addition to the impression left on the show, there is no other black material that can be excavated.

Naturally, it will naturally attract fans quickly. Even the number of fans of the Redeemer has already managed to break 10 million.

On the contrary, several other contestants whose identities were guessed, such as Yu Feifei and others, although the show can also bring positive feedback, it does not have such an exaggerated effect.

...... the popularity of "The Masked Singer" lasted for about four or five days. After all, it's just a variety show, and it's already quite incredible to be able to achieve such an effect.

The popularity of the follow-up show will definitely decrease, but a few original songs about the show can be passed on.

Of course, there is also the discussion of the Facelings, where there will still be many people looking for clues and details to guess the true identity of the Facelings.

But after all, there is no longer the overwhelming discussion on the whole network when the show was first broadcast. At the same time, the National Day is approaching, except for the small long vacation, which makes students and migrant workers a little nervous.

The competition between the several movies released on the National Day has also reached a white-hot stage. The biggest publicity battle is naturally the two officially produced gift films.

After all, the time period of the National Day is also in line with the style of the gift film. And when "Operation Red Sea" was released, the official side gave quite strong support.

Therefore, it is not good to favor one over the other, and all kinds of cards are given enough in publicity. As an official director with an establishment, Ruan Chong actually enjoys such treatment.

Although he has also made tribute films or similar projects before, he basically will not be so high-profile in terms of publicity.

Except for a small number of people, there is basically not much attention. But this time, in addition to the vigorous publicity of the official side, there is also Zhuyu of "Operation Red Sea" in front, and the audience is looking forward to it.

Of course, only Ruan Chong himself thinks like this, Zang Sheng, who is released on National Day like his movie, is a little uneasy in his heart at this time.

is mainly because "Operation Red Sea" has raised the audience's expectations too much, and the official has promoted it so vigorously.

It is equivalent to taking their two tribute films too much. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

At that time, if the movie fails to meet the expectations of most audiences, such behavior is somewhat equivalent to killing.

This is an outcome that Zang Sheng does not want to see. He knows very well that his movie, in all aspects, is definitely not comparable to Xu Ji's "Operation Red Sea".

He didn't think he could win the championship of the National Day file. If you can complete the task and get a box office of more than one billion, you will be satisfied.

...... As for the other National Day movies, except for Tongji Entertainment's "Detective", they basically didn't spend much money on publicity.

Others, such as Skydance and Smallpox, each of their big-budget films, were also not promoted with much fanfare.

It's not because of the poor publicity fee, it's the big three, and there is no shortage of money. Mainly because they are well aware that there are two official films released during the same period.

There is no need to fight with the other party for this, it is even worse if you win. After all, it is easy to offend the official side in this case.

None of the three is such a patternless company. Even if his company's big investment film loses money, he will not take the risk to offend the official.

Money can be made at any time, but if there is a rift in the relationship, it will be really difficult to repair it back.

Therefore, the publicity is more Buddhist. Of course, this is only what it seems. After all, no matter how you say it, it is also a National Day file, and what ultimately determines the box office in the film market is still the audience's love.

Therefore, there was no fanfare for publicity, but various means were used as propaganda channels in private. ......

"This National Day file is really a bit of a fairy fight, and I feel like I really want to watch several movies."

"There are only two official tribute films, and although the production cost is not as good as "Operation Red Sea", it is not low, plus other big-budget commercial films, there is really no way to determine who can be the final winner."

"Hehe, I've thought it through anyway, these movies in the National Day file, when the time comes, wait for the score on the petals to come out, and then choose after reading everyone's evaluation."

"I don't think it's necessary, I read the comments in advance or something, I feel like it's easy to be spoiled, I still like the freshness of watching it for the first time." ...... Looking at the discussion in the comment area below his video on the Internet, Sang Shaolong couldn't help but sigh.

Last year, there didn't seem to be any movies that impressed him on the National Day. In the end, the blockbusters felt lackluster and nothing new.

made a small-budget comedy movie the final box office dark horse. On the contrary, on New Year's Day later, I saw Xu Ji's "Infernal Affairs".

directly makes people forget the popular film market of the National Day file. After he finished the special video recommended for this National Day movie, he suddenly realized that he didn't know if it was because of the addition of Tongji Entertainment.

This time, the National Day stalls suddenly became lively. First of all, there are two tribute films, the one of the official director Ruan Chong, judging from the trailer, it is basically the same set of previous gift films, what traditional positive energy, and then the plot of fan love and tears.

It's not that it's unqualified, in fact, everyone's previous impression of the gift film stayed in this regard. But after watching "Operation Red Sea", the audience's aesthetics have also improved, and even the requirements for tribute films have changed.

Judging from the current large-scale publicity, it is estimated that this movie will not have too many praises at that time.

was complained by the audience that he didn't run. What interested Sang Shaolong was Zang Sheng's tribute film. The entry point is quite good, it is the life of a veteran after retiring.

And then insert some memories of the war in between, which is a pretty good subject if it's shot well.

Of course, this kind of shooting method obviously can't take into account the commercial aspect. Is the script the key, like being able to do the same level as "Operation Red Sea", Sang Shaolong is not optimistic about it anyway.

But after all, it's still worth taking a look, after all, Zang Sheng is the third largest among super-first-line directors.

Although there is still a risk of overturning, the reputation is also guaranteed. In addition, the two movies of Sky Dance and Smallpox are very typical commercial blockbusters.

Top actors joined, cool special effects, a fantasy adventure, and a science fiction. Judging from the trailer, the plot is not easy to say at present, but in terms of service and special effects, it is estimated that there is nothing to say.

It was originally a popcorn movie route, so there was nothing to say. There won't be too much connotation, anyway, it's just a cool picture.

The score of such a movie will not be too high, but relatively, it also has a lot of advantages at the box office. ...... However, if you want to say that the movie that Sang Shaolong is most looking forward to, it is still the "Detective" of Tongji Entertainment.

As a trace that originally carried forward the suspense genre, with the other party's script as the foundation, the quality is definitely guaranteed.

In addition, there is also director Pang Er, although the other party's fame is not big, but he is also an old director of Tongji Entertainment.

There are many traces of the script, as well as the production of Tongji Entertainment, it is estimated that there will be no problems. And Sang Shaolong knows that in fact, what Pang Er is best at is shooting all kinds of details, and he is a director who can be said to pick out details to pervert.

Whether it's the plot or the service, he is very good at ambushing pens and easter eggs. For such a director, suspense films are indeed the best areas for the other party to play.

The previous "Rise to Fame" was filmed quite well. There is also the male lead of this movie, who is the actor of Wan Rongli.

After acting in "Fireworks in the Day", Sang Shaolong's evaluation of Wan Rongli has reached the existence of the first echelon of Chinese actors.

Coupled with the role played by the other party this time, judging from the trailer, there are some gods chattering, and there seem to be some psychological problems.

Such a role leaves plenty of room for the actor to play, and Sang Shaolong is looking forward to Wan Rongli being able to bring some surprises to himself.

...... The National Day is approaching, and other movies have started roadshows. Originally, the crew of "Detective" was also going to go, but Pang Er felt that there was no need for this, so he canceled it.

The main reason is that Wan Rongli is a little too involved in the play after acting in this play, and the whole person is still in a state of adjustment, and he can't spare time.

As the absolute leading actor in the movie, if he doesn't participate in the roadshow, then there is no need to do it.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Xu Ji promised to write him a suspense movie with a big investment, which made Pang Er look forward to it and didn't want to leave Rongcheng during this time.

I only hope that when Xu Ji's script is written, he will be the first to read it. is also due to the fact that the previous two films were made on a small budget, and the current Poil actually wants to try a big production impatiently.

In this way, you can improve your directing ability even more. Although the scripts of the two movies given by Xu Ji above are quite good, Pang Er also likes it.

But he knows that there is a world of difference between a small crew and a large crew. The larger the crew, the more the director's ability to control the scene, as well as the on-site scheduling during filming, will be tested.

For example, when he was filming "Detective", the entire crew may add up to less than 100 people, and the staffing is still exceeded, and the number of actors in most scenes is only a few.

It's not too difficult to schedule. Even some times, it is a fixed camera shooting, which is not too challenging.

But when Xu Ji filmed "Operation Red Sea", the entire crew was no less than 500 people. There are many big war scenes, and the actors and group performances on the scene are even more relaxed, and the scheduling during filming is not at the same level at all.

Many scenes are very complicated, which is a big test for the director. He would have preferred that he would be able to improve faster.

After all, now Tongji Entertainment has begun to enter the international market. This time, the film investment in the United States is as high as 150 million US dollars.

If Xu Ji handed over such a project to him in the future, Pang Er did not want to drag himself down. ......

"Director Pang Er, did Director Xu give you the script?"

"What is he going to shoot in his next film?" At this time, Ji Yiyang and Pang Er met in the company, and before Pang Er could speak, Ji Yiyang took the first step to ask.

Since the completion of "Operation Red Sea", Ji Yiyang has started his own rest life. Except for being pulled to guest roles by several other crews of Tongji Entertainment from time to time, they don't have much opportunity to study what they want to play next.

In fact, relying on the performance in "Operation Red Sea", Ji Yiyang still received scripts from many big directors.

But without exception, he doesn't think much of it. This is a common problem of Tongji Entertainment actors. In fact, the company, including Xu Ji, did not restrict them from taking over the drama by themselves.

But almost all the actors, including Ji Yiyang, are the first choice for Tongji Entertainment. The main reason is that Tongji's project has a script of Xu Ji as a guarantee, and there is almost no need to worry about the problem of bad scripts.

And there are more scenes with Tongji, and the scripts outside are more and more difficult to watch. There are just too few good scripts.

"Nope." Poel shook his head. He was originally here to find Xu Ji today. As a result, as soon as he arrived at the company, You Man told him that Xu Ji had gone home.

After all, he is the chairman of the board of directors and does not need to clock in to work, or most people in Tongji Entertainment do not need to clock in to work, and the nature of the work determines that the working time is generally flexibly arranged.

But Pang Er still wondered if Xu Ji was deliberately hiding from him. Otherwise, I haven't seen anyone several times in a row, and I always feel that it is a bit too coincidental.

"Isn't Director Xu here?" Ji Yiyang was also a little surprised, obviously, he also came to find Xu Ji this time.

"By the way, didn't you make a cameo appearance in the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"? How did you get back? Poel asked.

"I don't have many scenes, and I finished filming in two days." Ji Yiyang opened his mouth to answer.

"But my role seems to be quite important, and I heard that Director Xu plans to shoot a separate drama later." Poel nodded, not very interested.

After all, he only has the script to lift his spirits now. ......
