Chapter 301: Si Ren Si Yan, Exemplify the Master! 【2-in-1】

The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, some people are happy and some are worried.

How happy Gao Fei is here, how depressed Zhang Ziyi is.

After all, who made "Very Perfect" and "Looking for the Dragon" released on the same day.

Although the two films are of different genres and target different groups, it is inevitable that someone will compare them together.

Compared with the box office performance of 113 million in the first week of "Looking for the Dragon", "Very Perfect" is inferior to 100 million points.

It was also the first three days, and it was also in the prime time of the summer season, but "Very Perfect" only got 25 million at the box office.

Of course, this result is actually very good compared to other movies.

But everyone is afraid of comparison, and when Zhang Ziyi learned about the results of the first week of "Looking for the Dragon" through China Film, she immediately became depressed.

Seeing this situation, Fan Bingbing, who originally wanted to praise a little bit and forcibly save Zhang Ziyi's respect, immediately closed his mouth.

After all, although "Very Perfect" is a love movie, Zhang Ziyi has not invested less, and the production cost alone is enough to spend 50 million.

And with this figure, the producer with a box office of more than 100 million can barely keep his capital.

It's just that judging from the current box office trend, it is estimated that "Very Perfect" is hopeless if it wants to exceed 100 million.

After this experience, Fan Bingbing felt more and more that the development route he had chosen was right.

Compared with making movies, it is still a little more secure for TV series projects.

As for the movie...... It's enough to occasionally plan two literary films to brush up on awards, improve and improve the quality, and it doesn't cost much anyway!

I have to say that Fan Bingbing understands what it means to "cross the river by feeling the stones".

In the front, she crossed the river by touching Gao Fei, and now she can naturally cross the river by touching Zhang Ziyi's stone.

I just don't know if she can always be so lucky to succeed in landing.

……

At the same time, Gao Fei, who was having a good time in the small bar, naturally didn't know how disappointed the crew of "Very Perfect" was.

Of course, even if he knew, he didn't care.

Because of Zhang Ziyi's "Very Perfect", he took the time to watch it after the roadshow, which can be regarded as exploring the enemy's situation.

It's just that after watching the movie, Goofy was relieved.

Not to mention the plot of this film, what makes Gao Fei most puzzled is why Zhang Ziyi didn't let the screenwriter revise the script.

As a veteran actor, can't she see that the character of Sophie is completely inconsistent with her temperament?

An actor who can play Yu Jiaolong so that the audience can not distinguish between the play, how can he be a silly white sweet!

Or did she think her acting skills could handle all genres perfectly?

If this is the case, then Zhang Ziyi is obviously overconfident this time.

Because no single actor can fit all the roles!

This has nothing to do with acting, it is purely a natural law.

To give the simplest example, let's talk about Li Ming, he and Huang Xiaoming are classmates, and Gao Fei worked with him a few years ago when he was filming "The Withered Heroes".

In Gao Fei's opinion, his acting skills can be about 2.5 yellow.

It's not that Gao Fei looks down on Huang Xiaoming, but Li Ming's level is really strong.

After all, Qiu Qianqi, who he starred in, did not let the audience play, but also gave his performance a new idea, which shows his skills.

But if he is asked to play the first beautiful man in the rivers and lakes, then no matter how good his acting skills are, it will be in vain.

Regarding this, Gao Fei believes that Zhang Ziyi will not be unaware.

It's just like what Mr. Luo Xiang, who worked with Gao Fei before, said:

"The biggest problem of people is that they like to think highly of themselves and belittle others."

Therefore, Zhang Ziyi, who returned from Haolaiwu, may not take the domestic entertainment industry much seriously.

So it's still Mr. Luo's words:

People have to accept their own limitations, admit their ignorance, and remain relatively rational.

Si people say that they can be a teacher!

……

Early the next morning.

After a night of partying, Goofy woke up early.

And Liu Xiaoli, who got up early, saw Gao Fei walking her horse on the horse farm, and her face became a little hot.

After all, due to the environment last night, she couldn't help but dance for a while.

You must know that she has held a special dance show, and she will also be a little bit more Mongolian dance.

Therefore, although it has not been dancing for many years, the first game caused bursts of cheers and whistles, and Liu Yifei on the side was dumbfounded.

She had never seen her mother so high-spirited.

To be honest, compared with Liu Xiaoli when she danced, Liu Yifei in the crowd was indeed quite inferior.

This has nothing to do with appearance, it is purely a temperament gap.

It's just that how happy she danced last night, how embarrassed Liu Xiaoli felt at the moment.

For a while, she couldn't help but regret her presumptuous last night.

So after the strong and calm and Goofy nodded, she turned around and left in a little panic.

Gao Fei didn't pay much attention to it, turned his head and continued to chat with Han Li.

Faced with Han Li's suggestion, I saw Gao Fei shaking his head without hesitation and said:

"This time it's a pure coincidence, I can't come up with a popular TV series to pave the way before every movie is released."

Gao Fei did not deny that Han Li attributed most of the credit to himself.

However, Gao Fei did not agree to Han Li's suggestion that the next film of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series should not find other investors and be directly produced independently by Gao Fei Studio.

Therefore, he knew in his heart that this seemed to be the greatest benefit, but it may not really be able to earn the maximum profit.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about this incident in which Goofy angrily scolded film critics.

Although they finally withdrew in embarrassment because of the support of netizens, the follow-up still has an impact.

After the release of "Looking for the Dragon" a few days ago, this group of parasites has been denigrating Goofy's new film in the media.

even directly gave Gao Fei a hat and personally attacked him.

But this time, before Han Li could make a move, several investors solved the matter.

In the end, the film arrangement didn't affect at all, not to mention, the group of parasites also had someone to help deal with it, and Gao Fei didn't worry about it at all.

Because seeing that "Looking for the Dragon" is about to explode at the box office, whether it is Shangying or Fiber Optic Pictures, no one will be allowed to block their financial path.

Moreover, the box office of a movie, in addition to the quality of the movie itself, is also inseparable from the publicity and scheduling.

If Gao Fei hadn't pulled Shanghai Film and Fiber Optic Pictures in this time, then in the face of the smear of other blockbusters in the same schedule, even if "Looking for the Dragon" can win in the end, it may not win so much box office.

After all, it can't slander you, and it's the same with movies that hack you.

Therefore, compared to eating a full mouthful, a long stream of water is the king.

Only by not eating alone can you really grow and get fatter.

If you want to eat alone, then whether you can eat the first bite is two words, and it is estimated that you will not have to eat it in the future.

Therefore, in Gao Fei's view, joint production and joint publicity are actually the general trend of the film and television industry, and there is a high probability that they will become the mainstream of the film and television industry in the future.

This is actually the same as the role of the American Film Association mastered by the six major Hollywood Docks.

Fighting without breaking, maintaining a certain tacit understanding, is good for everyone.

And once the film market is chaotic, then it will only make everyone have nothing to eat.

This is also why Zhang Weiping obviously holds the trump card of Lao Mouzi, but more than ten years have passed, and the new picture is still just a family workshop.

And the Huayi Brothers, who started almost at the same time, relied on Feng Xiaogang step by step to reach the leading position of today's private film and television companies.

In the final analysis, it is because Zhang Weiping likes to eat alone too much.

So the pattern is the key!

There is no shame in selling boxed lunches, but it is a bit embarrassing to be able to switch into the pattern of selling boxed lunches for the rest of your life.

From this point of view, Zhang Weiping's success is actually purely coincidental, and the times dictate.

In the end, I saw Gao Fei sigh to Han Li with some joy:

"Movies are a high-risk business after all."

"There are some risks that we can't control, but there are some risks that we can still interfere with."

Hearing this, Han Li suddenly said thoughtfully:

"Joint production and joint publicity are essentially to reduce human risks?"

"Not bad!"

I saw Gao Fei laugh and said:

"Besides, after the cake gets bigger, we may not make less money than before, and we can be safer, so why not!"

Speaking of which, the topic is almost over.

After understanding Goofy's intentions, Han Li also understood what to do next.

So after saying hello to Goofy, he left in a hurry.

Just looking at Han Li's back, Gao Fei suddenly showed an inexplicable smile.

In fact, Gao Fei didn't tell Han Li just now.

That's "one time, one time."

This six-character mantra was also learned by Gao Fei from those civil officials in his early years.

When you're weak, don't show your fangs too early.

The best thing to do is to make people think you're a rabbit...... It's like a flower grower in the early years.

And when others think you're a rabbit, you'd better show your fangs from time to time...... It's like planting flowers now.

Everything in the world, in fact, is the same many times.

……

It is said that after getting Gao Fei's verbal promise to continue to cooperate, Shangying, Fiber Optic Pictures and other investors are more and more satisfied.

After all, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is obviously a series, and with the good start of "Looking for the Dragon", the risk of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series of movies will obviously be greatly reduced.

And companies like Shanghai Film, Huayi and other companies like this kind of stable film project the most.

Therefore, in the next post-screening announcement, several investors did not play any more careful thoughts, and continued to output steadily.

"Very Perfect", which was released on the same day as "Looking for the Dragon", was originally similar to "Looking for the Dragon" in terms of cast and film scheduling.

However, as the gap between the box office of the two became wider and wider, the theater chain suddenly made decisive adjustments and began to continuously reduce the schedule of "Very Perfect", and turned around to add the reduced schedule to "Looking for the Dragon".

The so-called "the way of man, the loss is insufficient and the service is more than enough" is like this.

Even though Zhang Ziyi begged several times, the theater still didn't give face at all.

However, compared with the soaring box office, the reputation of "Looking for the Dragon" is a bit mixed.

Even if a few producers have tried their best to control the reviews, but a week after the release, the effect of such control reviews is minimal.

……

[Shave your head to see you]: Antiques have not been handed over to the state, which must be praised!

[Lingzhou Jingyue]: In order to expand the target audience, weaken the plot and strengthen the visual effects, there are slight flaws, but it is still good as a commercial blockbuster!

[Love to read but not study]:

If you take ten points as the standard, then the plot is seven points, barely passing.

Eight points for special effects and nine points for casting, the actors are really suitable.

Overall, eight points, not bad, worth the ticket price.

[Xilingyuan]: Thinking about it carefully, how did Ding Sitian die?

[Xiaobai 37]: At the door of death in the southeast, there are ghosts blowing out the lamp - it is really an authentic gold touching fan!

[Night Stars]: I just want to ask a question, what has Xia Yu experienced over the years?

[Little Ten Pretty Boys]: The design of the dungeon is really good, perverted enough, and it has an appetite for me. I hope that the producer can build a theme park like Disney, and I will definitely be the first to buy tickets when the time comes!

……

Of course, there are some things that can't be said well.

For example, some netizens posted a thousand-word long article lamenting that the movie was too shallow and meaningless.

But isn't it the greatest significance of a commercial film to make the audience feel good? If you pursue something else, you will sacrifice the basics!

However, neither praise nor scolding affected Gao Fei's mood, because the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" is still going up.

So Gao Fei, who stayed quietly at the racecourse to rest, watched the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" break 100 million in the first week to 200 million in the 10th day, constantly setting new records.

And the crazy box office performance of "Looking for the Dragon" also made several movies in the same period frightened.

If it weren't for the money for publicity, it would have been spent a long time ago, and it is estimated that many movies would have been unable to help but want to withdraw and reschedule, such as the convenience of the production of "Cyborg".

And the subsequent release performance of "Cyborg" also proved this.

Although "Cyborg", like "Looking for the Dragon", is under the banner of "investing over 100 million" and "special effects blockbuster", it will be almost completely scolded after its release.

After watching the movie, many viewers were so angry that they scolded their mothers.

"Piling up a bunch of messy jokes, forcibly pretending to be stupid, is really naïve and superficial, and insults the audience's IQ!"

This is the most liked movie review on the Internet.

Many fans who came under the influence of "Journey to the West" even blocked director Liu Zhenwei directly in their hearts after watching it.

Because in their opinion, the rotten appearance of "Cyborg" seems to be a problem with the director's level, but in fact it is a problem with the director's mentality.

This kind of perfunctory farce film obviously shows that the director is insincere and only wants to make money, which not only disrespects the audience, but also does not respect the movie.

Therefore, although the Cyborg won more than 10 million at the box office in the first week, it can almost be declared a failure.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to invest more than 100 million yuan in "Cyborg" directed by Xiangjiang.

But judging from the picture of the movie, even if "Cyborg" does not have an investment of 100 million, there will always be 30 or 40 million, so the movie will lose money.

But it's not just "Cyborg" that pulls the crotch.

After the release of "Silver Empire", which also claims to have invested more than 100 million, the box office in the first week was not as good as that of Cyborg.

In the first five days, he only got a box office of 6 million, and he was so angry that the starring Kwok Fucheng flew back to Xiangjiang directly on the same day, and no longer got involved in the rest of the matter.

After all, who asked director Yao Shuhua to always brag during the roadshow: What we want to do is that insiders can see the doorway, and laymen can also watch the excitement.

But it turns out that both insiders and laymen end up just watching jokes.

……

However, the joys and sorrows of human beings are always not the same.

While the producers of "Cyborg" and "Silver Empire" sighed, Gao Fei, who hid in Xiong'an Racecourse, almost died of laughter.

Because although there are many movies released in the summer in August, the only four movies that can be called blockbusters are "Cyborg", "Silver Empire", "Very Perfect" and "Looking for the Dragon".

It can be said that most of the media publicity resources during this period were occupied by them.

And when those audiences who were aroused by the announcement of "Cyborg" and "Silver Empire" walked into the cinema, because the reputation of these two movies had collapsed, many people temporarily decided to watch "Looking for the Dragon".

After all, to a certain extent, the promotion of the movie is to pull the audience into the cinema.

So in this way, half a month after the release of "Looking for the Dragon", the box office was weak, because of the selfless assistance of "Cyborg" and "Silver Empire", the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" soared again, and easily broke through the 300 million mark, and there was a box office reversal for a while.

Even the reputation of "Looking for the Dragon" has begun to rise under the backdrop of these two.

All this really made Gao Fei excited and couldn't wait to send pennants to these two.

No way, it's too self-sacrificing!

Of course, it's a good thing that Goofy didn't send it, otherwise there would have been two more enemies in the designation.

It's just that not long after Gao Fei finished mocking the two producers, he turned his head and did the same thing as them......
