Chapter 108: Unbelievable Box Office! (4/4)

There is a question, can an actor or director realize that he is making a bad movie?

It should be possible.

It's like driving, you drive a lot, and you can naturally appreciate the quality of the car after a long time.

First of all, a good film is composed of three main factors, a good script, a good actor, and a good director, of which the director is the first, the actor is second, and the script is third.

When an actor acts, first of all, he has read the script, and first of all, he will evaluate whether this is a good script or not, and in the process of acting, the actor will constantly touch the scene, and the process of touching will naturally know how he acted, what the effect of the play is, etc., and he can also evaluate whether this is a good film.

And what about the director?

is like what Wang Jing said: In fact, he also knows that many of the movies he makes are bad movies, but because he is a commercial film director, he cares about whether the box office and the boss make money, and the word-of-mouth part is not the top priority.

You see, make money ...

"The Breakup Master" should be the same, Deng Chao must really think that the audience likes such comedies...

As for the vulgar part, he thinks that "Thai Embarrassment" is also vulgar, but it sold nearly 1.2 billion, but it is "Big Winner", whether it is word-of-mouth in the circle or feedback outside the circle, it will surpass "Thai Embarrassment"...

But the box office is far inferior!

So, this time I'm going to go to the spoof...

Of course, some directors have the ability, but they may not be suitable for commercial film directors.

For example, Sun Zhou has filmed 3 or 4 low-scoring bad movies such as "Incredible";

Han Jie also filmed "Anxiety Grocery Store".

These two people have previously trained in the teams of Zhang Yi and Jia Zhangke respectively, and have also filmed classic works such as "Zhou Yu's Train" and "Hello, Mr. Tree".

Is there a situation where you don't know that what you're doing is a bad movie?

There should be too!

It's a terrible situation.

Excluding objective factors, such as a large number of deletions, the leading actor's word-of-mouth cliff, etc., shows that the director and the team's understanding of the film is completely inadequate.

Guo Jingming's filming of "Little Times" is understandable, after all, this can earn back.

But he used live-action CG to shoot "Jue Ji", which is another brain-dead money, in fact, Guo Jingming also knows that the filming may be questioned, but he believes that the audience is questioning himself, not the movie...

So, he would roar, 'Is it wrong to do anything because my name is Guo Jingming?' Is it only when I'm dead that you won't scold "Jue Ji"? ’

He had no idea that the visuals of "Traces of the Lord" were very rough and not up to par;

The live-action CG he flaunts is outdated, and no one will give big investments and well-known actors to make a movie.

Excluding factors such as world view, script, acting, and director, this movie is also a bad movie.

As for boasting during publicity, this is normal, quoting a sentence that Zhang Yimou said in an interview with Xu Zhiyuan: 'After a movie is filmed, no matter how the scene is, as a director, you can't destroy your prestige...'

……

After watching the movie, the two congratulated each other, and then... Get in the car and leave.

After waiting for a long time, Chen Xi couldn't help but speak: "I really didn't expect it to be so bad..."

Chen Duling nodded desperately: "At one point, my goosebumps rose, and I was embarrassed..."

"Tang Dashan's actor is too ugly..."

"That's right, it's not convincing at all, Yang Xiaomi's Ye Xiaochun is so beautiful, it doesn't match at all!"

Shen Xudong interjected: "His name is Liang Chao, an actor in Deng Chaochao's theater, and the actor of Tang Dashan in the drama "Breakup Master"... The drama version of "The Master of Breakup" praises love, and by the way, satirizes the so-called success master, which is quite profound..."

"Then why is the movie so ugly?"

"Cut it... Add to that the aesthetic factor, and they may think that what is left is the funny part..."

"The director is Deng Chao + Yu Baimei..."

“… Yu Baimei's level..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Don't wash it, this movie is obviously Deng Chao's own aesthetics... His previous drama "Sauerkraut on the Green Flower" is so virtuous! ”

"Do you still think you can pass 800 million?"

"It's not a big problem... Now belongs to the bonus period of comedy, but any movie that can amuse people will not sell too badly, not to mention that the star lineup of "The Breakup Master" is not bad..."

"That's right, Deng Chao has been messing around for so long, and he still has a lot of friends..."

Chen Xi sighed: "I watched Yu Baimei's interview, and he said that this is a farce... The question is, isn't farce just a-pee-fart comedy? ”

"Yes, foreigners also admit that this kind of funny technique is not advanced..."

"He also said that what critics lack impartiality towards these kinds of films..."

Shen Xudong sighed: "Some of our directors and entertainers put themselves above the people, and movies are fundamentally for the masses, so they must also originate from the masses and satisfy the people... A bad movie is a bad movie that has nothing to do with the genre, and now the market is immature, and you can cheat money like this, and if you wait a few years, no one will watch such a movie at all! ”

"Yo, this is your manuscript?"

"Yes!" Shen Xudong nodded: "A small part of it..."

Chen Duling asked curiously: "What draft?" ”

"He will attend a literary symposium next month and speak as a representative of the film industry."

"Literary symposium? Is it the highest spec one? ”

"Hmm..."

Chen Duling's face was full of envy...

……

Let's not talk about the symposium, after all, it won't be held until the 15th of next month.

I don't have time to worry about "The Breakup Master", this movie has nothing to do with Tianmei, Light Media and Deng Chao's Orange Pictures jointly created it, and Light is responsible for distribution...

There is a lot of discussion online.

The argument around it is that 'comedy makes people laugh is good comedy'...

But... From Shen Xudong's point of view, "The Breakup Master" is not a question of not making people laugh, it is embarrassing to the point of scratching their heads...

Oh, Shen Xudong has been busy writing manuscripts these days, and by the way, I also want to promote several literary films produced and distributed by the studio, "Over the Spring", "What's in the Dark Place", "Farewell" and a box office good "Burst Silent"...

The four movies were released in two weeks, the highest-grossing "Burst Silence" was 32 million in the first weekend, and it is estimated that it can exceed 100 million, and the other films are much worse, "Over the Spring" was released for 8 days, with a cumulative box office of 10.2 million, "What's in the Black Place" is known as the Chinese version of "Memories of Murder", but unfortunately, the text and director are a lot worse...

I saw a lot of short films analyzing "What's in the Black Place", in fact, it's really nothing, it's a social case of catching a strong criminal in the style of "North by Northeast", but it tells the story of two girls in the style of "Girl", solving the case is not the point, the ignorant girl's heart is the key... A youth film wrapped in criminal elements, exploring the problems of Chinese-style education and the imperfection of the law...

"What's in the Black Place"? There's a chicken feather!

"Farewell" is actually a joint creation of the movie channel and the youth film studio, which tells the story of Mongolian director Sefu in the last moments of his life after suffering from cancer...

The three movies were basically released for about a week, and they were released.

The lowest box office is "Farewell", which is less than 2 million, and "What's in the Black Place" probably received 6 million...

The three movies were directly launched on PPTV's 'Independent Cinema' column at one screening, and the click rate... It's not like that...

The audience of literary films is itself a niche.

By the way, "Breakup Master" was released for half a month, and as of September 19, the cumulative box office was 768 million...

That's right, it will break 800 million.
