Chapter 584: Retro Trend under the Internet [5K]
It is said that in the film and television industry, there has always been a habit of closed shooting in the early years.
For example, in the early years of Lao Mouzi and Chen Shiren's movie, once the film was started, the actors were required to follow the group throughout the whole process.
And this old-school directing style is passed down from the fourth generation of directors.
Because before the 90s of the last century, there was no entertainment circle in the mainland, and some were only literary and artistic circles.
At that time, the literary and artistic circle was not as impetuous as it is now.
Both directors and actors boast of being performing artists.
So I have a pursuit in my heart, so how is it for the sake of art?
For example, when the 87th version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was filmed, the crew designed more than 2,500 sets of costumes.
In 1985, when Mr. You Benchang filmed "Jigong", he did not hesitate to eat stinky meat in front of the camera.
Even when filming "Water Margin" in 98, even though he knew that the crew had brought two real tigers, Ding Haifeng still finished filming this scene in a daze.
Although his legs were soft after a few punches, anyone who saw it had to praise "man".
It is precisely because of this that there is this section that can be called the most classic "Wu Song Fighting Tiger" in film history.
It can be said that even though today's film and television technology is far better than in the past, the attainments of mainland film and television dramas in the eighties and nineties in terms of service are still an unattainable peak.
Even the costumes of many costume dramas are textbook-level.
It's just that the times are different, with the current pace of people's work and life getting faster and faster.
The closed shooting that was popular back then was difficult to implement in the circle.
Even Lao Mouzi himself no longer plays this game now.
Lao Mouzi is like this, and Zhuang Wenqiang will naturally be no exception.
Although Gao Fei also wanted to shoot with the crew throughout the whole process, reality did not allow him to be so capricious.
Not to mention anything else, "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" is about to be officially released on the National Day.
As the core figure of the "Golden Trio", Gao Fei really can't say anything if he is absent from the roadshow.
So Zhuang Wenqiang was like a resentful woman abandoned by her husband, and watched pitifully Gao Fei leave ruthlessly with Liu Yifei.
Yes, this time the male protagonist not only slipped away by himself, but also abducted the heroine.
Zhuang Wenqiang has been making movies for so many years, but it is the first time that he has been so scummy.
There's no way, who made Liu Yifei happen to be the heroine of "Wuxia Coffin Mountain".
However, Yang Zhicheng on the other side of Ying Yu quite understood.
Even if he is in Xiangjiang, Yang Zhicheng also knows that the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series of movies can be called a big gold mine under Zhouyi Film and Television.
Even after Zhou Yi carried out an all-round development of the IP of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he also carefully studied this project.
Then Yang Zhicheng reluctantly and red-eyed found that the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series of movies seemed to be different from the sequel movies in Hong Kong films.
Because it is not a new story, let alone a temporary derivation on the basis of a hit movie, but has a complete story framework.
The best part is that each volume of the story can be taken out separately and made into a film, and at the same time, it does not affect the viewing experience.
is not like Jin Yong's, the fire is on fire, but it is difficult to shoot a movie clearly, and it is even more difficult to split the shooting.
Therefore, in Yang Zhicheng's view, the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series is more like the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "007" series in Western films.
At least in terms of IP lifetime, the two are very similar.
Not to mention anything else, just "Exquisite Ancient City", "Longling Grotto", "Yunnan Worm Valley", "Kunlun Divine Palace", "Huangpizi Tomb", "South China Sea Ruins", "Nuqing Xiangxi", "Wuxia Coffin Mountain", these eight volumes, if they are adapted in two years, they are enough for Gao Fei and Liu Yifei and Huang Bo to shoot for 16 years.
Even though the level of the later period has declined, the long-term accumulation of word-of-mouth and a large fan base is enough to minimize the risk of this movie series!
Therefore, Gao Fei once joked that he was counting on this movie series to retire.
However, he can deal with it calmly, but other peers in the circle can't be calm.
After all, for ordinary film and television companies, if such a big film and television IP can be excavated, then it is not impossible to go public.
So when the crew of "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" was on the roadshow, the online adaptation began to usher in a wave of enthusiasm.
Many online authors directly took advantage of this wave of copyright development dividends and directly became wealthy.
It's just that the film and television industry has bought so many copyrights, and it is unknown how many of them will be really filmed in the end.
……
……
October 8th.
Wuxi, Xianyuan.
When Goofy woke up, it was already dark.
However, Rao is like this, and Goofy, who has already slept well, is still a little tired.
No way, the roadshow is like that.
Although it didn't last long, the high-intensity rush was still quite wasteful.
Anyway, Gao Fei's reality is sore, and he doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to be quietly in a daze alone on the viewing platform.
But this hope is obviously impossible.
Because last night, after the roadshow in the last city, Gao Fei invited the main creators of the crew of "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" to take a rest in the leisure garden to relieve fatigue.
Therefore, Gao Fei was still counting how many fish there were in the lake, and in the distance, he saw a delicate boat slowly approaching from downstream.
Gao Fei raised his eyes and found that the boat lady turned out to be Liu Yifei, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.
So after she abandoned the ship and went ashore, she couldn't help but be curious:
"When did you learn to hold the boat?"
However, Liu Yifei did not answer him immediately when she heard this, but first came to him with a red lacquer food box.
After taking out the breakfast in the food box one by one and putting it on the coffee table on the side, she replied casually while setting the dishes and chopsticks:
"It was last year, did you forget? I still learned it in Wuxi! ”
Hearing this, Gao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head with a smile and laughed at himself:
"Oh~ I remember."
"Hey~ Look at my brain, I'm almost demented."
You must know that when filming "Menghualu", in order to strive for truth, Gao Fei asked Liu Yifei to personally support the boat.
It's just that seeing Gao Fei say this, Liu Yifei unceremoniously made up for it.
"I think too, you don't have any youthful vigor now, and you look more and more like an old man."
After that, I saw her pretending to be disgusted and throwing the newspaper in the food box towards Gao Fei, while complaining:
"Now even the old man in the nursing home knows how to watch the news on his mobile phone, so he has to turn it upside down."
"I look at you, your thinking is more old-fashioned than those old grandfathers!"
Liu Yifei's words are true.
In today's society, except for those in the system, it is true that very few people subscribe to paper newspapers.
Even now, even some administrative organs and state-owned enterprises are gradually abolishing the task of subscribing to newspapers and magazines.
After all, they have begun to implement paperless offices, and no one reads paper newspapers.
And Goofy didn't do this to show his personality, so he deliberately acted as a maverick.
He did it because there was a real need to read.
First, because compared with the news on the Internet, the print media is ultimately superior in seriousness and standardization.
Although both are media, paper media will be somewhat more restrained than self-media.
Because of the different costs of crime, the vast majority of print media will not be as unethical as self-media.
After all, most of the paper media can run, and monks can't run the temple.
As for the Internet, although it is better to be well-informed, sometimes there is too much information and too much miscellaneous, which will affect thinking.
However, the most important point is that the current big data algorithms are too powerful.
Basically, as long as Gao Fei browses the news on his mobile phone and computer, the news that catches his eye is what he wants to see.
At first, Gao Fei liked this algorithm of pushing according to user preferences.
After all, at first glance, they are all interested in themselves, and they don't need to go out of their way to find them, everyone will like them.
It is this inertia that exists in the subconscious that many people do not feel that there is anything wrong with this change.
On the contrary, it is believed that this is the welfare brought by the development of science and technology to mankind.
But ordinary people can not care, but Goofy can't think so.
Because this kind of intelligent push, in essence, is actually using the way of boiling frogs in warm water to build a customized information cocoon for each netizen.
Over time, when netizens get used to this model, their world will become more and more narrow.
Because of the long-term reading habit, they will only be willing to pay attention to their favorite topics.
If you like to watch movies, what you see every day will be dazzling movies;
Those who like to chase stars and gossip will also be unable to extricate themselves in the world of entertainment stars;
If she likes fashion and makeup, there will be endless new trendy outfits waiting for her.
Eventually, they will be divided into disorganized, separate groups that will be well and not socially connected.
Of course, it is not easy to achieve this, and it is difficult to achieve results without a decade or two.
But then again, this slight change in thinking is nothing for the average person.
But for an industry leader like Goofy, if there is a little dullness in thinking, something will happen.
For example, the Wang brothers are a prime example.
In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, Gao Fei chose to use the way of reading newspapers to achieve "attention and force".
Because the print media is the media of the whole people, it will report what news is important to society.
In this way, it can make up for the reader's reading blind spots and lack of concern.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the "inintelligence" of the newspaper that its value is more precious.
As the network develops, this value will become more and more important.
So now Goofy's habit is to open all kinds of newspapers while eating breakfast and quickly scan the headlines.
Only look at the event, don't look at the evaluation, don't read the analysis.
When you encounter something you are interested in, you will look at the content twice.
Of course, if you really want to know the truth about one thing.
For example, like the last Fan Bingbing incident, Gao Fei will not trust any media, and will only learn about it through his own channels.
Because at his level, a lot of private information exchanges will be much more reliable than the media.
News that cannot be made public and is inconvenient to leak can almost be heard in private.
Of course, there is no need to talk to Liu Yifei about these reasons.
So Gao Fei was eating breakfast like this, while listening to her soft complaints, there was a kind of alternative warmth.
It's a pity that such a quiet time didn't last long.
……
A moment later, when Gao Fei and Liu Yifei finished breakfast and chatted while strolling along the lake.
A two-story antique building ship slowly drove from a distance.
Gao Fei from afar saw Huang Bo, Xia Yu and others standing by the boat and waving to him.
Seeing this situation, Liu Yifei immediately snorted lightly and kicked the small stone on the ground angrily.
"It's hard to live a two-person world, but I didn't expect to be interrupted by a group of big pigs' trotters, annoying!"
Thinking of this, Liu Yifei's eyes looking at Huang Bo and Xia Yu were naturally a little unkind.
However, the two of them didn't notice it at all, and they were shouting with excitement after getting off the boat at the dock.
"President Gao, your house is too big!"
"To go back and forth in your own home, you still have to take a boat? Nima, it's outrageous! ”
Anyway, when they came over last night, they didn't notice anything wrong because they were too tired.
So when I got up in the morning, I looked at the crescent lake outside, and several people thought it was public water.
As a result, when the housekeeper told Huang Bo and the others that the long water area here was a landscape lake with a leisure garden, several people were directly stunned!
They never imagined that there would be such a luxurious person as Goofy.
I obviously bought a piece of land from the boss, but half of it was used to dig the lake, leaving only half of the land to build a house.
Tsk~ That is, I have known Gao Fei for a long time, otherwise Huang Bozhun thought that he was born a rich man, and he had to be the kind of billionaire.
Because the average rich second generation will never come up with such a loser.
However, ridicule is ridicule, and the mood of Huang Bo and others is still quite sour.
After all, anyone would be happy to have a rich friend like Goofy.
And it's really hard to find such a big private amusement place in China.
So after a few words, everyone proposed to simply hold a small celebration banquet on the building boat to relax.
Hearing this, Gao Fei naturally had no opinion.
You must know that the company has just sent the latest box office data of "Wuxia Coffin Mountain".
The box office results of 239 million on the first day and 871 million in the first week are enough to prove that their hard work during this period was not in vain.
And according to the speculation of Zhou Yi's internal statistics department, the box office of "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" this time may be around 1.8 billion.
Even for Ning Hao, it was the first time to get such a good box office result.
Therefore, a simple treat is not a problem at all, because there is a big feast waiting for you later.
But I don't know if the popularity of "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" is too high.
Anyway, several movies in this year's National Day file are very sluggish.
In fact, before the start of the National Day file, domestic fans were looking forward to this National Day file.
After all, in addition to the golden pair of Gao Fei and Liu Yifei, there are also Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Zhang Hanyu, Peng Yuyan and others with their own blockbusters ready to be released.
It's just that no one expected that in the end, except for Goofy, everyone else was dumbfounded.
For example, Deng Chao's "Passing by Your World" had a good start, winning the box office of 74.09 million on the first day.
But I didn't expect it to have a bad reputation, and the box office plummeted within a few days.
In the end, it only won the box office of 181 million in the first week...... Even the box office of "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" did not exceed the box office on the first day, which can be described as quite embarrassing!
But the most embarrassing thing is Brother Xiao Ming.
That's right, because he's hitting the street again!
No one expected that the Sino-Indian co-production "Tang Xuanzang", which claimed to have invested more than 100 million yuan, had a box office of only 4.856 million on the first day.
To be honest, Gao Fei was stunned when he learned this data.
With this data and word of mouth, it doesn't matter how much the box office of this movie has in the first week.
Because no matter how hard Brother Xiao Ming tries to promote it, the box office of this film will not exceed 30 million.
In other words, the cumulative box office of this movie can't even afford Brother Xiao Ming's salary.
I have to say that this is one of the funniest jokes Goofy has ever heard this year.
In contrast, Peng Yuyan and Zhang Hanyu performed slightly better.
Although the box office of "Operation Mekong" in the first week was only 165 million, it is not as good as "Passing by Your World".
But the word-of-mouth of the two films is far apart.
So if nothing else, the runner-up of this National Day file should be "Operation Mekong".
……
On the boat, looking at the sparkling lake.
Ning Hao and others couldn't help but feel a little emotional after commenting on several movies in this year's National Day file.
After all, the performance of domestic movies this year is indeed a bit stretched, at least not at the level of last year.
Recalling the box office performance of domestic films this year, Gao Fei couldn't help but sigh lightly:
"Youth films are estimated to be refrigerated for a while."
"There have been too many followers in recent years, and judging from this year's box office feedback, the audience is obviously aesthetically fatigued."
Hearing this, Ning Hao immediately nodded thoughtfully.
You must know that since Gao Fei brought fire to movies like youth films, at least hundreds of youth movies have been released in just four years.
At its hottest, the number of youth films released every year was even as high as 21.
It can be said that the eggs in the belly of the little hen have been completely stripped out by Gao Fei's peers!
At present, whether it is all the newcomers Xiao Xianrou or the old bacon disguised as Xiao Xianrou, there is basically no way to let fans pay for their feelings.
After all, talking about feelings ~ hurts money!!
