Look at the definition: Fan movies are a new type of films, focusing on fan groups, and generally have a low production cost, in short, that is, movies made to cater to fans of an idol, and only have the significance of watching for a specific group of people.

Fan movies used to be called idol movies.

Back then, Zhou Jielun used his fan credit limit to act in those bad movies that have already let us know one thing: no matter how bad the film is, as long as the leading actor is popular, it will be fine.

It was supposed to be a niche thing, but... Many fans ignore that time and space are highly bound to such a thing as a movie, and there is no separation of time and space.

That is to say, if a theater has six halls, if your idol's movies are scheduled, it will inevitably reduce the schedule of movies in the same schedule!

Other than that...

With the advent of the traffic era, fan movies will definitely appear!

Because it's really profitable!

And then... It's also very easy to produce, this type of movie generally doesn't have to care too much about word-of-mouth, it's rotten, it's rotten, and it can make money anyway!

So, rush on!

squeezed directly from the niche into the mainstream.

Because of the film industry, even if the mature market is still not a market, it will not be more than 5% of the people who can make money, but... Fan movies are basically making money!

Investors are not fools, and quickly figured out a set of formulas: small fresh meat + youth IP = small hits.

As a result, domestic youth films and fan movies are skillfully integrated, "Little Times", "Left Ear", "To Youth 2", "Gardenia Blossom" and so on...

It doesn't matter if it's rotten or not, do you say it's making money?

Shen Xudong doesn't hate fan movies...

I don't think it's a flood beast, he even thinks that movies like "Little Times" are quite interesting, at least very exquisite, Guo Jingming is really willing to spend money on clothing!

Especially after experiencing the Edinburgh incident, I really feel that "Little Times" is not dreamy at all, and even very recorded, after all, the story takes place where foreigners come to have good wine, and outsiders come to places with guns...

……

"Da Wusheng", Han Gen + Wu Zun, the director is short and tight...

No matter from which level you judge, Han Gen is more popular than Yang Xiaomi - after returning to China in 08, he directly served as an Olympic torchbearer, sang "BJ Welcomes You", and was even a Chinese astronaut in the American space training camp...

Last year's album "Gengxin" sold more than one million!

It's half the sky...

But..."Da Wusheng" Han Gen is the second time, and the buddy directly refuses all the propaganda activities!

Other than that... When the movie was released, it coincided with the fact that the short man was enlightening in the dragon field - the drunk driver went in and reformed.

So, it's not a player at all.

"Da Wusheng", which many peers have high hopes for, was released on the same day as "The Grandmaster", with the former having a box office of 3.84 million on the first day and the latter having 44.7 million!

That's right, 44.7 million, but it failed to refresh the first-day box office record of domestic films - the holder is 47.6 million on the first day of "33 Days of Broken Love"!

But it was Valentine's Day.

Therefore, the media reports are all "Sharpening the sword for two years, Shen Xudong's new work continues to be brilliant" or "45 million on the first day, setting a new high at the box office of award-winning films!" 》

That's right, the first-day results set a new box office record for overseas award-winning films in the mainland...

In terms of word-of-mouth, Douban scored 8.8 points, and Time.com gave 8.9 points...

After watching "The Grandmaster", I said in my heart: "This is the movie!" ”

"Forgive me for my previous speculation about Shen Xudong, thinking that "The Grandmaster" is a work that relies on narrative to win. This time, Shen Xudong completely abandoned the narrative, or chose an extremely simple story, and then focused on carving a sense of form... So beautiful! ”

"After reading it, I pinched the sweat for Wang Jiawei, and I felt that no matter how much he filmed, he couldn't surpass it!"

"It's hard to imagine that this is Shen Xudong's first time filming action scenes, several action scenes are very good-looking, Chen Zhijinlou broke into the hall, the funeral, and the cotton wool connected under the knife at the train station and the final pass, all of which have both momentum and visual beauty..."

Of course, there are many people who feel that this story is too simple~

During the roadshow, Shen Xudong answered this question positively: "I am a screenwriter, of course I know the weight of the story of "The Grandmaster"... But the more formal things are, the more they should be packaged in a simple story, and once the story is complicated, the movie will inevitably lose sight of one or the other..."

"Next one, I've been thinking about making a comedy + action + detective movie recently, and I must rely on the story to win!"

……

Hong Kong, after the release of "The Grandmaster", the box office on the first day was 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the cumulative box office in the first four days was 9.8 million Hong Kong dollars, which does not look high, but it is already very good, you must know that the box office of "Captain America" on the first day was only 1.9 million Hong Kong dollars...

But everyone doesn't seem to have a lot of discussion - mainly the box office of Hong Kong movies this year was given to Nian Guanshi's "3D* Futon".

The first tertiary film focusing on astringency, with a box office of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars...

Overseas copyright proceeds are close to $8 million...

It's definitely a big deal!

Therefore, it was revealed that "3D Jin Pingmei" and "3D Yan Tan" were shot by a bunch of companies...

Even Mai Dangjie came out and said that he wanted to shoot, and Liu Weiqiang also said, 'It doesn't matter what type he is'...

Why didn't you shoot it?

I don't know, maybe it's because I can't find an actor who is willing to act!

Well, it's actually not a blockbuster!

Wang Jing has a saying that is very right: the market for cyan films is too narrow, everyone can download it online, and there is no need to shoot specially.

Pulling it back, there is another reason why many Hong Kong filmmakers are excited about the box office of "3D* Futon": this is not a movie produced by Golden Harvest!

Since 06, the films produced by Golden Harvest have been firmly occupying the top three in the box office list of Hong Kong local films, last year, the top ten, Golden Harvest produced 7 films, in addition to "72 Tenants", "Informant" and "Happy Events in the Flower Field 2010", the rest like "Ip Man 2", "Ip Man: Zhang Tianzhi", "The Thief of the Years", "Eavesdropping", "The Big Guy on the Wrong Body", "Great Wish", "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", all ranked in the top ten, and from 11 to 15, all are Golden Harvest movies, " Break up and say I love you", "Keep loving you", "I really want to be with you", "If you go back in time", by the way, the 15th-ranked thing "Su Qier" co-produced by Golden Harvest...

It can be said that it dominates the Hong Kong film industry.

During this period, did you resist?

Of course there is, "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" resisted once, in 09, Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Jiazhen (Wu Yusen's royal producer) wanted to use "Red Cliff" (below) to snipe "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", as a result, Golden Harvest directly refused "Red Cliff" (below) to be released in Golden Harvest's theaters, and in the end, the Hong Kong box office of "Red Cliff" (below) was 17 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Southeast Asia was less than 10 million US dollars...

Golden Harvest Cinema refuses to be released!

Even, it was useless for them to find China Film to intercede, and the Southeast Asian market manager of Golden Harvest Cinema Line didn't dump him at all...

It's been blocked for two weeks!

In the end, the Film Bureau came forward and unsealed it, but in two weeks, "Red Cliff" (below) HD pirated sources have been everywhere!

Then, Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Jiazhen were honest for a while.

But now, Shen Xudong has returned to China, and with more than $1 billion in funds in his hands, what does he want to do, what does he want to do?
