Chapter 195: The benchmark of youth films, self-confidence is divided (ask for all!) )
"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is finally released!
Total box office: 221 million!
Although this data is not as good as the previous movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", it is ...... It's already very scary, and even in some ways, the box office of this drama is higher than "A Chinese Ghost Story"!
As I said before, youth films are forbidden areas, and for so many years, everyone has filmed them as literary films, and generally shooting youth films is rushing to win awards!
It is precisely because of this that most of the box office of youth films is not good, and because it is a child's story, it is easy to hit mines.
Looking at youth films, there are a lot of hundreds of millions at the box office, but over 200 million, I'm afraid I can count them on one hand!
And "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" has a total box office of 221 million, which is already in the top three youth genre films, and the most important thing is that it is only a few hundred box office away from the first place!
Therefore, when "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was released, many people felt a little regretful, if there was another day or two, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" would become the top of the domestic youth film box office!
But Rao is so, the box office of this film still shocked everyone in the circle!
And there are two eye-catching points!
One is that the preacher is not a youth film director at all, and what he came out of the industry is a fantasy film like "A Chinese Ghost Story", which is completely different from a youth film like "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"!
To put it bluntly, as long as the genre film changes the genre, it is even like a mountain!
But just when the preacher of a "A Chinese Ghost Story" arrived, just when everyone thought he was going to continue filming this kind of fantasy film, he suddenly made a 180-degree turn and changed to a youth film.
To be honest, before the release of "Those Years", no one would have thought that this film would have such a high box office!
Just like the Jiarong Group!
When they knew that Zhou You was going to shoot the second film, they even asked Zheng Lan to negotiate cooperation and investment, but ...... When I knew that the new film that Zhou You was going to shoot was a youth film, I didn't talk about it when it came time to invest!
Because in the hearts of many people in the industry, youth films belong to the category of literary films, and this kind of film is generally thankless, if it is for dreams or awards, it may be able to support it, but ...... For investment to make money, literary films are directly ou!
But......
Now when he saw this data, Jiarong's side was completely speechless!
Of course, it's not now, but when "Those Years" broke 100 million, Jiarong's side already knew that this film was unstoppable!
Then it started arguing half a month ago, and it has been until now!
"I should have insisted on investing if I knew it!"
"Hey, who would have known that this guy could even shoot youth films?"
"200 million, if this is mixed with a kick, at least tens of millions of dollars!"
If you don't make this money, it's as distressing as if you lost it, and the most important thing is that this money is almost earned!
"Okay, then it's so cheap, it's good to eat the same!"
Mr. Xu, who had been silent, spoke, and then said, "With our people, even if you open your mouth to invest at that time, it's one thing whether people agree or not!"
He didn't dare to tell these guys that the investment in the drama "Those Years" was only five million!
When others heard this, they had no choice but to give up!
After all, the heroine Lin Jiaxin is a member of their Jiarong Group!
And this film has finally made the preacher the top handful of people in the directing industry, because this is a big bull who can play two types, and one is more than 300 million, and the other is more than 200 million!
"Gotcha, one more top director!"
"Haha, that's right, there will be one more director to watch the film in the future!"
"To be honest, movies are different from TV dramas, everyone likes to follow the actors when watching TV series, but when watching movies, I believe that many people like me like to follow the director!"
"That's for sure, you've seen a TV series about so-and-so star, but how many times have you heard of so-and-so actor's movie? It's usually up to the director!"
"The preacher is a real cow, the two films will directly cost 600 million, and those old directors who have been filming for decades don't know if they will be angry to death!"
"This is genius, there is no comparison!"
……
Lin'an, a makeshift set!
It is said that it is a studio, but it is actually a factory, and in the factory, seven or eight buses seem to be placed randomly, and the layout in the carriage is exactly the same, but there are still details to change!
At this time, everyone is resting, those who eat watermelon eat watermelon, and those who eat ice cream eat ice cream!
Lin'an in early October is really hot, not to mention still in the factory, so I traveled around to find several large fans, but they can only be used during rest, after all, the noise is too loud.
"Two hundred million taels, throw two million investments...... Well, there is no investment at all, that is to say, this drama can almost make seventy or eighty million!"
Lilac looked at Zhou You's calculations, and the corners of her mouth twitched!
Seventy or eighty million?
Just seven or eight days of shooting, 10 million a day? Obediently, it's better than robbing a bank!
Traveling around here to calculate profits, a group of people over there are surrounding Lin Jiaxin!
Although "Those Years" was released, Lin Jiaxin's fame has really reached its peak, and now the first love Shen Jiayi can be seen everywhere on the Internet, and the promotional videos that were sent out alone have all exceeded 100 million clicks, and the comments under each promotional video are as high as tens of thousands, and some even have hundreds of thousands!
It can be said that Lin Jiaxin at this stage, in terms of short-term popularity, must be avoided on the first line!
"Director Zhou is too powerful!"
"Yes, I have a good vision and strength!"
"Jiaxin is also powerful, with Shen Jiayi's body, she will also have a halo on her body in the future!"
The halo on the star is generally given by fans, but ...... The aura of a truly powerful star generally depends on his works, such as singers rely on songs, and actors rely on roles!
Shen Jiayi is a positive character, and it generally belongs to the memories of Bai Yueguang in the hearts of boys, this good memory was pressed on Shen Jiayi, so if something happens to her in the entertainment industry in the future, this aura will play a role, and at least a large number of male fans will stand up to defend it!
Lin Jiaxin was said to be embarrassed, she became popular too quickly, so she hasn't adapted to this change!
It's like a certain celebrity said, if you are really popular, the people around you will become amiable, even on sunny days, they will become blue, and rainy days will become refreshing!
Lin Jiaxin at this time feels like this!
Of course, she mainly admires these teachers!
Especially the *** teacher, she plays Tao Yinghong, one of the murderers of the explosion eucalyptus!
Don't look at Teacher Wang is now an ordinary woman in her forties, but ...... Once you enter the shooting, your temperament immediately changes!
Especially that look, when Lin Jiaxin faced it for the first time, she was directly frightened, so much so that the filming was suspended.
"Teacher Wang drink water!"
Lin Jiaxin brought a cup of cold white to ***!
Because it's so hot, everyone needs to replenish energy from time to time!
"Thank you!"
Smile slightly!
I'm chatting here, and I'm shouting over there!
Soon, everyone hurriedly dropped the things in their hands, and the scenes in the car were not easy to film, because there were too many people, and because the car was moving, everyone was almost complete in every scene!
Of course, now the filming is only the scene in the car, and after the filming, there will be police scenes and road scenes!
The combination of these three scenes is "The Beginning"!
"The focus of this scene is on Gu Ke, Gu Ke will come up in a while, Lin Jiaxin and Bai Zhou will come forward!"
"You're going to ask Gu Ke for help, and then you're going to say the code!"
Zhou Balabala said a lot, and Gu Ke, who is the actor of Lu Di, is also
The person who Peng Chunlai stuffed in is estimated to have something to do with Peng Chunlai!
However, Gu Ke is still very good-looking, a bit of astrology, and he is relatively humble!
Hearing the tour arrangement, everyone nodded, after all, they are all veterans of the repertory troupe, and the other teachers and teachers, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, etc., have already sat in the bus seats, and when they gave an order, they entered the state in an instant!
Gu Ke was ready, and the moment he heard the start, he had already entered the door with his bag in his arms, and then stumbled!
At this time, Li Shiqing, played by Lin Jiaxin, had also stepped forward and then held him up.
Li Shiqing: "Hey, be careful!"
Lu Di looked at Li Shiqing with a little surprise in his eyes, after all, in his opinion, the girl in front of him seemed to know that he was going to stumble here!
Lu Di: "Thank you!"
"Card!"
Zhou You shouted to stop, and then beckoned to Li Shiqing: "Looks, eyes, your eyes should be filled with anticipation, even if it's another cycle, but you still want to see if this only person who believes in you will remember you!"
"Oh, okay!"
Lin Jiaxin took a deep breath, and then Gu Ke got into the car again!
And then the scene was repeated!
After thanking Lu Di, he walked straight to the back position, and at this time, Xiao Heyun, who was standing at the back door, also looked at Lu Di expectantly!
Lu Di had doubts in his eyes: "I'm sorry to let you go!"
The reason why both of them are looking forward to it so much is because they want to see if Lu Di has entered the loop!
And at this moment, Gu Ke shook for a moment, and Zhou You shouted the card, only to find that the cat in his arms scratched him!
The little guy said that it was too hot, so he got out of the small opening of the backpack and ran away!
"Hey, the cat ran away!"
Here, Gu Ke hurriedly shouted.
It's just that cats can't catch even if there are many people, and when Zhou You saw this, he could only bark!
The rhubarb, who was about to run to rest, suddenly paused, and then turned his head curiously, with humanized doubts in his eyes.
Zhou You barked again, and then teased the cat as if he was making a big move towards the rhubarb, and the orange cat walked over suspiciously!
Just halfway through, my whole body exploded and I started screaming like crazy.
Others can only hear the screams, but what Zhou You hears is different!
"Demon beast, these two-legged guys have become sperm, and they can even speak cat language!"
Crazy screaming, this is going to run.
Zhou You meowed a few more times!
"You run, you run, I cut your balls, so that you can't play with Big Flower again!"
The rhubarb who ran out two steps paused, then looked back at Zhou You and meowed, "Can you catch me?"
"When I give an order, the cats in the whole city will listen to me, and you say if I can catch you!" Seeing that Rhubarb was a little frightened, Zhou You said again: "Obediently complete this task, I'll help you find a few good-looking little female cats!"
"You said that!"
"I said it!"
Rhubarb meowed, then turned his head and walked towards Gu Ke, and then in the shocked eyes of everyone, he jumped on Gu Ke's body and climbed into the backpack!
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and your expression is getting weirder and weirder!
"Damn, what's the matter with this rhubarb?"
"How did you get into your backpack?"
"Hey, how do I feel that Director Zhou and Rhubarb are talking!"
"Haha, how is that possible!"
"Ha, yes, how is that possible!"
"But this rhubarb is quite weird, jumping out on its own, jumping in on its own!"
Here, Shen Bo had already asked Gu Ke to directly tighten the zipper of his backpack.
I opened it a little bit before, I was afraid that the rhubarb would be too hot, after all, although the backpack is also breathable, but because I hold it in my arms, if I pull it all up, maybe this little guy will toss.
I didn't expect that even if it was a little bit of a opening, this little guy was not honest, but I didn't expect it to be
I ran back.
The little guy is back, this time obediently, maybe I'm afraid that the balls won't be safe!
After all, the whole Lin'an is my cat, where can you run!
Soon, it was shooting again!
Because it's a loop, many people's shots have to be shot again and again!
Just like Lu Di!
On the scene of getting in the car, he took more than a dozen shots!
Another shot of Lu Di.
He came up with his bag, then stumbled, and then was stopped by Xiao Heyun.
Xiao Heyun: "Lu Cat's Apostle, Filial Piety Conqueror, Chosen by Light, Flute!"
Lu Di: "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Heyun: "I'm a policeman, I need your help!"
Xiao Heyun pulled Lu Di to the back and sat down, then took out his mobile phone, and the memo on the mobile phone explained the intention.
Lu Di: "Who are you, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Heyun: "I'm a policeman, I need your help!"
Lu Di: "Do you have a police ID?"
Xiao Heyun: "Do you have a cat in your bag, you can't keep a cat if you have filial piety, but you still have five cats, you rented a house in the animation city without telling your parents, the password is six six, we already have all your information, I am the police!"
Lu Di: "You're definitely not a policeman!"
Xiao Heyun was anxious: "The Apostle of the Cat, the Conqueror of Filial Piety, the One Chosen by Backlight, this name is right, why don't you believe it!"
Lu Di: "But I don't care anymore, because you have reported my name and know all my hidden secrets, and I am willing to cooperate with you, say, what should we do!"
Over and over again!
Traveling around beckoning, Lu Di's role is 90% complete, and as for the rest, just make up some shots.
Of course, the most important point of this drama is still on a few old drama bones.
Especially *** teachers!
Among them, the *** teacher stabbed Xiao Heyun with a knife and directly inserted a knife into Li Shiqing's neck, which needs to test the acting skills of Lin Jiaxin and Bai Zhou.
These are the shots that were shot from morning to evening!
Although Lin Jiaxin has gained fame through "Those Years" and her acting skills, if you want to say that she is exquisite, it is really far behind, especially when people are afraid of comparison, there are basically no old drama bones in "Those Years" before, and the opponents are all peers like Bai Zhou, so it is easier to act!
But now it's different, after all, Mr. *** is a national second-class drama actor, and he has been in the drama troupe for more than 20 years!
The acting skills have already been perfected, and if you lobby twice, you can do it to the fullest! Playing with this kind of actor, Lin Jiaxin and Bai Zhou are under a lot of pressure, especially when they see the expression of the *** teacher many times, they will be subconsciously timid.
The scenes in the carriage are almost over, and there are only a few difficult scenes left!
Lin Jiaxin and Bai Zhou have changed quite a lot, at least under the influence of these teachers, their acting skills are growing steadily!
Finally......
"Okay, over it!"
"Yay!"
Everyone here breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Jiaxin sat directly on the floor of the carriage, she never expected that filming would be so tired, and this tiredness is mental tiredness, not body!
"It's okay!"
Bai Zhou stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Jiaxin up.
"It's okay!"
Lin Jiaxin got up, took a deep breath, and then looked at the *** teacher, and said in her heart that the old drama bones are worthy of being old drama bones!
"When Mr. Wang came up with a knife and pressed me, I really felt like I was going to die!"
Lin Jiaxin whispered.
Bai Zhou nodded and said, "Don't talk about you, I'm a little scared!"
Tao Yinghong gave Xiao Heyun a knife, and then Li Shiqing was directly stabbed to the neck, not to mention the cycle, even dreaming will wake up, especially the eyes of the *** teacher, I feel like I want to eat people!
"Well acted!"
The teacher has recovered, smiling and groaning, and she can't see the way she killed with a knife just now!
"Thank you, teacher, for the compliment!"
I'm still looking through the materials here to see if there's anything missing, after all, the next thing to shoot is the road scene and the police station!
"Acting separately, each of these actors has their own story, especially Wang Xingde and his wife, Ma Guoqiang, Jiao Xiangrong...... Shen Bo, you can shoot the stories of these people!"
"Okay!"
The scene in the car was over, and it was in the afternoon, Zhou You announced: "Please have a big meal today, take another day off tomorrow, and continue filming the day after tomorrow!"
The scenes in the car have been filmed for almost ten days, and the National Day in October has passed, and during this time of the National Day, the movie theater is indeed very intense!
There are four films that have broken 100 million in just ten days, among which the box office of the leading "Time and Space Race" sci-fi film has exceeded 150 million!
Judging from this trend, this film should have a hope of breaking 300 million!
"Everyone has been working hard lately, but this filming has exceeded my expectations!"
Zhou You is holding a wine glass, and the whole crew is there, after all, who doesn't want to eat a big meal!
"Director Zhou is really generous!"
"Nonsense, the box office of "Those Years" is more than 200 million, if this is me, I am also generous!"
"Speaking of which, this drama is only fifteen episodes, I'm afraid the TV station won't accept it!"
"I don't know!"
Fifteen episodes are indeed a bit too short, basically it can be broadcast in seven or eight days, and the schedule of the TV station is not easy to adjust, but the preacher's new film, there must be people who are willing to ask for it, but the ratings, I'm afraid it won't be too high!
The crew has cooperated with Zhou You many times, although Lilac is looking for it, but in fact, almost all of these people now listen to Zhou You.
First, the cooperation is pleasant, and secondly, the money is not included in the lake at all!
From food and accommodation to remuneration, it is much higher than other crews, who is not willing to cooperate with this kind of boss!
It's already dark after eating, and I don't leave anyone around, but when I finished the game, I said that I would cook in Qingshui Lake tomorrow, and I was willing to come!
……
Everyone else left, but Zhou You and Lilac went to the café on the top floor to watch the night view.
The night view of Lin'an is very beautiful, especially the current West Lake, a fire dragon meanders, like stars on the ground, dotted with the night!
After a while, Lilac's cell phone rang.
She said a few words, then hung up the phone and said, "Someone is coming!"
And said, "Speaking of which, isn't it a bit too wasteful for you to put this drama on a video website!"
Zhou You is now very famous, especially the name of the preacher, so even if this drama only has fifteen episodes, as long as the wind is released, there will definitely be many TV stations to grab it!
In fact, someone from Zhejiang Provincial TV Station and Huating TV Station has called to ask, but Zhou You has refused.
At first, Lilac also explained to Zhou You, hoping that even if he refused, he wouldn't be so simple, but then I thought about it, Zhou You refused so clearly, I was afraid that he was setting rules for others, or setting up a character for himself!
After all, I am such a person, I will give it to you when I should give it, and I will not give you a chance if I should not give it to you, so that it will be much easier to deal with other people in the future.
After all, the insiders will know Zhou You's temper by then, and they will know that he will say the same, and it will be easy to communicate!
"What is there to waste, don't look down on video sites, I think everyone may be more accustomed to video sites when watching TV in the future!"
The development of video sites in this world has not been so fast, and this has little to do with the content of video sites!
Take the movie as an example, when a movie is released, it must first be on the big screen, and it will last until half a year later, and then the digital version will be released.
There are also TV series, and generally after the TV series is broadcast, it will only appear on TV for half a year to a year
frequency websites, and even some films will not be on video websites!
Of course, the main problem is still the contempt for the chain!
Although the actor is just a marionette, the problem is that people also have conditions, such as the film, it must be on the star, or it must be on the big screen or something like that!
An actor with a bit of status will never let his drama be one step ahead of the TV station on the online video platform!
"How do you sell it?" Will it be bought out or will it be shared?"
"Of course it's divided, it's bought out...... I'm afraid they won't pay the price I want!"
As he was talking, Lilac's phone vibrated for a moment, and Lilac turned her head to see a big wave wearing glasses walking over.
"Miss Ding, meet again!"
"Mr. Qin is good!"
The two must know each other, but they shouldn't be very familiar with each other.
"This is the Traveler, the Preacher!"
Qin Qin's eyes flashed with a different color, stretched out his fair and slender hand, and said with a smile: "I have admired the name for a long time, it is really better to hear than to see, I didn't expect the preacher to be such a young handsome guy!"
Briefly, three people sit around the table!
Qin Qin, one of the founders of the love audio-visual video website, as a relatively new video website in China, love audio-visual in just five years, eating market share, from a novice to now occupy 30% of the market predators, its development speed, so that some old websites were caught off guard!
But the market is so cruel, especially video sites, content is king, when other video sites rely on buying copyrights to eat customers, Love Audiovisual has formed its own team and started to make self-made dramas!
However, it has only been two years since the self-made drama team of Love Audio-Visual started, and only four works have been produced, and the effect does not seem to be very large, after all, the investment of Love Audio-Visual is not very large, and they obviously don't dare to make a big investment directly at once, so they can only grope a little bit!
Qin Qin's chat is inseparable from Zhou You, and the praise for Zhou You is almost endless!
And, it seems, not a compliment!
This can also be understood, Qin Qin's palm loves audio-visual content, and he naturally respects a director like Zhou You!
"That's the case, I'm sure you've heard of my new drama "The Beginning", because the episodes of this drama are too short, I'm not going to broadcast it on TV, I want to ask if you're interested in taking over!"
Qin Qin has never mentioned business, just to control the opportunity and reduce the price, but Zhou You doesn't care at all, he really doesn't care how much he can earn in this drama!
Qin Qin put down the coffee cup, sat up straight, and said, "I have read the book of "The Beginning", I have to say, this book is really wonderful, I like it very much, but as Mr. Zhou said, this drama is too short, only fifteen episodes!"
Although it is a video website with cluttered content, the price of TV series is generally calculated according to the number of episodes!
These fifteen episodes......
To be honest, Qin Qin really didn't know how to speak!
But the name of the preacher was so loud that she had to come again!
Short?
Short is a little shorter!
But it's wonderful!
Zhou You knocked on the table and said, "Actually, this kind of story is not the only one, like this kind of drama series of about ten episodes, I have several more here!"
Zhou You pointed to his head!
Qin Qin raised his eyebrows, how many are there?
"How does it compare to The Beginning?"
"Each has its own merits, but it will definitely not be worse than "The Beginning", and in terms of excitement, it may be even better!"
This kind of wonderful TV series with more than ten episodes, you can really find several of them!
For example, "Undocumented Crime", "Hidden Corner", "The Silent Truth", "Who is the Murderer", and even shorter ones such as "Out of Court: Blind Spot"!
It can be said that it is enough to open up a suspense theater specifically!
Qin Qin was silent, if it was really as Zhou You, then it would be different!
But just when she was silent, Zhou You smiled and said, "But follow these easts
West, it's okay with today!" Zhou You pointed to his head, and then said, "Don't be embarrassed, I don't do all kinds of guaranteed payments, just start and go straight to V-point sharing!"
Qin Qin was stunned for a moment, and asked a little incredulously, "Are you sure?" Pure shares?"
Film and television dramas are not other things, even if it is a small investment, it is millions up, and they are using this kind of formation on their website, but ...... No one will agree to the pure share, and it is generally a guaranteed share.
But now Zhou You actually said that it is a pure share, how much confidence you have in your own work!
"Yes, it's a net share, but this number will have to be discussed!"
Seeing Zhou You so insistent, Qin Qin was even more silent, she suddenly felt that she wanted to buy it out directly, but after thinking about it, if she bought it out, this price might be more difficult to discuss, and although the preacher has both movies and TV series, it is not clear whether the audience on the video platform will eat this set!
You must know that TV stations, movie theaters, and video websites are actually three platforms, although they all show videos, but they all have their own characteristics!
"Good!"
Qin Qin finally chose to listen to Zhou You, and went to pure points!
On the surface, Ai Audiovisual is taking advantage, because Ai Audiovisual has almost no money, even if it is shared later, it is only when they make money that they will share the money here!
When the contract was signed, Qin Qin was still a little confused, after all, she had already made psychological expectations before she came, and even said hello to the finance side!
But now, I got the broadcast rights of "The Beginning" without spending a penny, although it is only one year, but it is enough!
"Happy working together!"
"Happy working together!"
