Chapter 28: Hilarious Comedy (2/4)
Shen Xudong has not taken the initiative to contact Xu Zheng...
Xu Zheng is too shrewd...
"Cutting leeks", "copyright disputes", "peach news" and so on...
However, he is really remarkable, in a period when the 'second generation' is rampant in the circle, he can go from the grassroots to the famous ranks, with admirable courage and pride to be praised by the people.
In fact, Xu Zheng is not satisfied with being a comedian, probably because of the experience of withdrawing money from the bank and being told by the counter to 'take 20,000 yuan for Zhu Bajie'...
It's just that when he became the capital in the circle, his appearance was too ugly!
The so-called capital in the circle is the leader and speaker in the circle.
Eating is ugly... Actually, it doesn't matter, as long as it's not illegal, but incarnate a pyramid scheme...
Celebrities naturally have strong media exposure, and it is easy to collude with capital - Xu Zheng is really a clear example!
In order to make more money for yourself, doing such a thing has ruined your reputation, but it is not necessary.
Shen Xudong didn't really want to have too much contact with him...
However, he still cares a lot about "Hong Kong Embarrassment", after all, it is the "Embarrassment" series.
Shen Xudong asked directly: "Why do you have a brother-in-law?" ”
"One and two goods!"
"It's better not to be a brother-in-law," Shen Xudong shook his head: "The relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law, this is problematic, because we are not strangers, we have no reason to be curious about male number two from the perspective of male number one..."
"If the audience is not curious, it will be difficult to establish the character image of the second male lead, and there will be no good chemistry between the main characters, so many stupid things he does will seem deliberate... The audience will also be annoyed by this..."Speaking of this, Shen Xudong looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you want to join the role of brother-in-law?" ”
Xu Zheng explained: "The 'Embarrassment' series... There's definitely a need for a juggler..."
"I know... But why is this character a brother-in-law? ”
Xu Zheng explained the plot and said by the way: "I feel like setting up a brother-in-law who dreams of shooting a documentary, and then recording all the experiences..."
Shen Xudong asked rhetorically: "What about the role?" ”
“… Record the experience..."
"And then?"
"You're not like the Temporary Nanny... You either make it a pure feature film, Xu Lai doesn't have any talent... In fact, it was not his father-in-law's family who prevented him from fulfilling his dream, but himself; What hindered him from entering the palace of art was not because he had married a wife, but because of himself; It was not his wife who decided to take a path in business that he didn't like, but himself. ”
"The theme can be 'The pain of a middle-aged man is anger at his own incompetence and unwillingness to accept his own mediocre helplessness'..."
"Of course, if you want to do comedy with a clear theme, you want to go to Hong Kong to find his first love on a date, but you are harassed and blocked by a fool all the way, and you always can't make an appointment. The various hardships and struggles encountered by the two along the way happen to be wonderfully blended and contrasted with the classic scenes and clips of Hong Kong films, and in this movie, you can see the golden years of Hong Kong films..."
After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Road comedy... Forget it! ”
"Why?"
"Hong Kong is too small, the level of civilization is too high, coupled with the repeated mapping of Hong Kong film and television, the audience is too familiar with Hong Kong to be unfamiliar and unpredictable!"
Xu Zheng thought seriously for a while, and was about to say something, when Shen Xudong had already turned around and left...
He has said it in such detail, Xu Zheng is still not satisfied?
What's the matter, you still have to ask him to write a detailed script?
……
"Charlotte's Troubles" is truly a classic movie – never get tired of watching it!
Even if you're already clear about every plot or even the details, but... Will still watch it.
Therefore, in the original time and space, after watching "Charlotte's Troubles", Shen Xudong once thought that the king of comedy comparable to Zhou Xingchi appeared!
And then... Very disappointed!
Too lazy...
As an actor, starting from "Charlotte", he has starred in films such as "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Flying Life", "Crazy Alien", "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Lonely on the Moon"...
is obviously an actor who can make the audience laugh when he stands, but he turns himself into an OEM actor, often making a cameo appearance in a certain movie for a few minutes, and then promoting it in the way of a starring role, and then word of mouth is backlashed...
Let's talk about a funny thing: Shen Teng and Allen fought against Allen at the beginning of the poster of "Super Family", but later the word of mouth was sparse, and Shen Teng's face was taken down - protect Shen Teng?
I don't have a lot of dramas, but I have participated in a lot of variety shows...
Compared to another king of comedy, at least in terms of works!
In fact, he tried to expand the way of drama - suspenseful movies with comedy elements.
"Broad Daylight", which was organized with Zhang Yuqi and Wei Xiang back then, was supposed to be released in the past three years, but the filmmaker ran away - I heard that I made a money-collecting APP, but seeing that the money was enough, I simply stopped filming...
Then in addition to eating bread, you can only make your own bread.
The efficiency of making cakes is too low, and the entertainment industry is cold... A lot of the pie was originally painted, and the hot money faded...
I heard that Liu Xunzimo's second drama is contacting him, in addition to "Flying Life 2", by the way, there is also a "National Carnival"...
Ripping back, "Charlotte's Troubles" is different...
This movie is so awesome:
One is the incomparably supporting group portraits, even the small roles that only appear for a minute or two are impressive;
The second is the right song that matches the plot, the old songs that appear in the film are not abrupt at all, and there is no sense of disobedience that is piled up randomly...
The third is the most important: a reasonable plot, not a vulgar and illogical comedy.
Charlotte crosses face and returns for love, but in fact follows the routine of a magical reality comedy, that is, a dream come true story.
Fourth, it is a famous scene that has been handed down to this day.
The first is "Just step on the horse, your name is Charlotte".
And then "what is the horse winter, what is the winter plum, what is the horse what is the plum." ”
"I've thought about it, from now on, we'll talk about it, I'll call you brother, and you call me Dad. What are you looking for, Dad will help you find it. ”
"Just yesterday, Yuan Hua from our class won the first prize in the district-wide essay competition for middle school students, and the essay title was "My District Mayor's Father""
"The first prize of this competition is: "I Dedicate Oil to the Country" sung by Li Zhenxing, a student from the Experimental Primary School"
After "Charlotte", most domestic comedies took the farce route of, pee and fart, and deliberately laughed about it, like scratching the audience's armpits through the screen to force them to laugh.
Well, enough of the boast...
In fact, "Charlotte's Troubles", as the name of the drama, is petty bourgeoisie and literary enough, and it doesn't matter if the pattern between the lines is not big, it is very suitable for its consumer group; But as a movie name, it is too far from the aesthetic distance of mainstream audiences.
can't stimulate the mainstream audience's desire to watch the movie, and dies directly on the menu, what's the point of the dish no matter how well it is done?
So, we need to get the word out...
"Charlotte" was released on December 12, and Tianmei Media gave the same level of publicity resources for "Journey to the West"...
The effect...
The box office is the most intuitive!
On Thursday, December 12, "Charlotte" was scheduled for 41%, with a single-day box office of 49 million...
It's not high, after all, so much publicity resources have been invested, but on the second day, the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" rose to 67 million, and on the third day, Saturday, it broke 100 million in a single day!
On December 15th, it increased in a single day, winning 117 million...
