Chapter 113: Ma Xiaogang's Great Wisdom (Ask for Subscription!)

"3.6 million, this box office is very good. ”

"Assembly Number" sold 70 million in the second week, and Ma Xiaogang also had the leisure to pay attention to other things.

In the lounge of a movie theater, Li Qian's "Frequency of Life and Death" was also talked about.

Before, he also said that he was going to the premiere to see it, but with the large-scale screening of "Life and Death Frequency", word of mouth spread, and it was very good.

He changed his mind again and didn't go.

Although Ma Xiaogang doesn't think that a small-budget movie can't pose even the slightest threat to "Assembly", it can be regarded as a competitor in the same schedule.

He is a dignified director, and attending the premiere of a small-budget movie is tantamount to promoting the other party in disguise.

He Ma Xiaogang is not a stingy person, but he can't promote other movies in the same schedule.

Moreover, he knew that the Huang brothers had been recruiting Li Qian before.

Immediately after interacting with the audience in the theater and being interviewed by reporters, he was also asked about the topic of "Frequency of Life and Death" and Li Qian.

"Casting a Name" has been in theaters for more than half a month, and the movie itself has nothing to dig up.

And the four leading actors, plus the director Chen Kexin, are not ostentatious people.

"Frequency of Life and Death" has a good reputation, and Li Qian also bluntly shouted the goal of breaking 100 million at the box office, and the topic gradually increased.

"Hello Director Ma, what do you think of "Frequency of Life and Death", do you think this movie has any hope of reaching 100 million box office?"

The reporter who asked the question looked at Ma Xiaogang expectantly, and so did the others.

People only have the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

Ma Xiaogang's films have been criticized by those academic filmmakers, and 7 years ago, he dared to directly scold the official of the Golden Rooster Awards, and scolded the fourth, fifth, and sixth generation directors all over again.

It is said that after the hard work of the first three generations of directors, Huaguo Film built the treasure hall of Huaguo Film, and after the "palace" was completed, a sentry came in, occupied this treasure hall, and put the gate to death.

This is the fourth generation of directors, who created a genre where others want to make a movie, they have to do it their way.

Then, another group of people killed, and instead of going through the door, they "broke through the window" and created a way to shoot themselves.

They are the fifth-generation directors, the fifth-generation directors with the "78 class" of the Beijing Film Academy as the main body, like the fourth generation, after entering this palace, they not only closed the door, but also blocked the window.

At this time, the fourth and fifth generation directors lived together in the treasure hall, and they lived a comfortable and stable life.

Immediately after that, the sixth generation of directors actually entered this treasure hall, they neither walked through the door nor the window, but drilled out from the ground.

And when he said of himself: "When I come here to take a look, not only will I not be able to enter this treasure hall, but even if I do, there is no place for me to put my feet."

So, I simply built an ear room next to the palace, I didn't expect that, through continuous development, life is quite good, and I look in the palace again, it is too crowded, I don't want to drill into it if I want to go in, now, the people in the palace see that I am doing well, and can't help but want to come out, and even someone has poked his head out. ”

7 years ago, Ma Xiaogang dared to ridicule all the fourth, fifth, and sixth generation directors, and scolded the sixth generation of directors for not seeing the light.

A veritable first troll in the national uniform.

Ma Xiaogang also watched the news, this Li Qian is not very old, and his tone is not small.

But...

Weigh it in your heart before you speak.

"Recently, I have been busy with the promotion of "Assembly", and I don't have time to go to the movies, but young people still have to be down-to-earth, the road must be taken step by step, and it is easy to fall if they go fast. ”

The reporter was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Ma Xiaogang to be so cooperative today, and hurriedly asked, "What does Director Ma mean is that he is not optimistic about Li Qian's "Frequency of Life and Death"?"

"Here, I want to give him a little advice, the big screen is not an online movie, don't be complacent and arrogant just because you have made a little success in other industries. ”

......

Ma Xiaogang cooperated so much, and the reporters at the scene also deliberately asked some sharp questions one after another to create contradictions.

After a while, the interview ended, and Ma Xiaogang left with the crew.

Soon, there was a lot of news on the Internet about Ma Xiaogang's criticism of Li Qian.

Rookie director Li Qian proudly said that the box office exceeded 100 million, and Ma Xiaogang mocked young people who didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick. ”

Li Qian watched these news on the Internet with his mobile phone, and his slow mind was inexplicable.

"This horse cannon, why are you scolding me for no reason!"

Tong Liya said on the side, "Is it made up by the media, don't be led by them." ”

"No, there's a video. ”

Li Qian shook his head, this interview seems to be a roadshow in a movie theater, the person is himself, and the voice is right.

"Then you have to be careful, there will definitely be reporters who will stir up trouble. ”

"It's okay, it's time, let's go out, don't keep the audience waiting. ”

Brought the actors to the screening hall, the audience inside had just experienced a touching movie-watching experience, and they did not hesitate to applaud their arrival.

The roadshow is very short, half an hour, after all, the cinema still has to show movies.

Interact with the audience, take a group photo, answer the audience's questions, and then the reporter interviews.

There is no doubt that a journalist has come looking for trouble.

Ordinary directors and actors, in the face of the reprimands of their predecessors who are bigger coffees, can basically only listen to it, even if they are unhappy, they will not show it in public.

Although China is not like neon and Nanbang, the workplace and any industry are strictly hierarchical, and you can only obey your superiors and seniors, and even your superiors can only slap you at every turn.

However, it is actually the same in China, but it is not so serious.

If you refute it, you don't know how to respect your predecessors, and there is no one in your eyes.

Respect the old and love the young, the old don't love the young, why should the young respect the old.

Although I don't know what Ma Xiaogang is crazy about, and he supports himself when he is full, Li Qian will not just suffer it.

"I don't know what the so-called "unknowing" means, but I seem to remember that the number of viewers of my last movie "Jaws" exceeded 4 million, and the number of domestic viewers of Ma Xiaogang's last "Night Banquet" was just 4 million, and the number of viewers of both movies was the same.

it!

The reporter at the scene was shocked, this Li Qian's temper is really not small, so he was directly scolded!

"But Director Li, online movies are not theatrical movies, and your four million moviegoers don't cost money. ”

"Of the 4 million accounts that have watched "Jaws", 70 have paid to watch it, and there are 800,000 non-member accounts who have chosen to open a membership in order to watch this movie, I don't know where this reporter got the idea that he didn't have to spend money, isn't this 1.5 million viewers spending money?"

These reporters couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while.

However, Li Qian didn't wait for them to ask, and continued, "After the screening of "Frequency of Life and Death" and the one-day release, the audience's response was very good, and the vast majority of the audience was very satisfied and liked this movie.

"It is the audience who buys tickets to watch the movie, and it is also the audience who determines the final box office. ”

"What's more, commenting on a movie without even seeing it, I don't think that's what a professional filmmaker should say. ”

......

I haven't watched the movie and I'm chattering there, at least I have to watch the movie, say something bad about the movie, and take some dry goods out to scare.

No matter what his reason is, Li Qian is not used to him, and he will be scared if he wants to.

If you have to pretend to be a grandson in everything, it will be too aggrieved.

Watching Li Qian slamming back in a roundabout way, the other actors were dumbfounded.

I've never seen such a rigid, that's Ma Xiaogang, a big director in China, and Li Qian is still a newcomer on the big screen.

Most of the time Li Qian was quite easy to talk during filming, but he didn't expect that now that the movie was released, he dared to retort Ma Xiaogang's criticism of him head-on.

Coming out of the movie theater, Li Qian immediately called Wang Changtian.

It's not a good thing for Ma Xiaogang to find trouble, as long as he uses it well, it can also be beneficial to the promotion of the movie.

The premise must occupy the upper hand in public opinion, and netizens cannot feel that Li Qian does not know how to respect his predecessors.

After telling Wang Changtian about the matter a little, Guangxian immediately began to carry out targeted publicity.

In the next roadshow, Li Qian didn't say anything more, just one time was enough.

Naturally, other media outlets will add that they are the best at this kind of thing.

......

On Ma Xiaogang's side, his wife Xu Wan was puzzled by his criticism of Li Qian for no reason.

"What's wrong with you, the young man made his own movie at the age of 23, and it was very good, why do you suddenly criticize others like this?"

Although he has the nickname of Ma Cannon, his family knows his family best.

Every time Ma Xiaogang is a reporter, media, or film critic, it is because they scolded Ma Xiaogang's movies first.

Scolding the Golden Rooster Award Organizing Committee is also for a reason.

scolded Wang Jiawei for pretending to be forced... There is no reason for this, it is purely because Ma Xiaogang is about to say what is in his heart for a while.

Ma Xiaogang shook his head and didn't answer, but asked, "In the current situation, it's not a problem for this "Frequency of Life and Death" to get a box office of 350 million, a 23-year-old director, the first movie can sell 50 million, what kind of concept do you think this is?"

"And what does this have to do with you?"

"Those two brothers were trying to win over this Li Qian a few months ago, and now that they see his ability, they will definitely try their best to win him over, and then there will be a second director in the company who can sell at the box office. ”

Xu Wan probably understood, "You mean, if he comes to Huayang, it will have an impact on you, but didn't you already reject Huang Zhonglei before?"

"Just because you rejected it before doesn't mean you'll keep refusing, it's just that it doesn't have enough benefits. ”

"If he can cooperate with Guangxian, he can also cooperate with Huayang, and if he can cooperate, he can also join Huayang. ”

"I heard that he is not particularly arrogant, Zhang Jun didn't even see him at first, Huang Zhonglei also had a closed door, young people in their early 20s must be arrogant, I said this, I will definitely be angry in my heart, and it will eliminate the possibility of him coming to Huayang. ”

"So, do you want him to be angry with Huayang?"

Xu Ran suddenly, then it's no wonder.

Although Ma Xiaogang is sometimes very extreme, he can get to this position step by step, and he also has great wisdom!

As long as Huayang only has one director who can sell at the box office, then he can always enjoy the privilege, even if the request is too much and the film is unpopular, Huang Zhongjun will agree.

However, once you have a second one, it's hard to do whatever you want.

It's not that he is not taken seriously, a director of this level has to be offered everywhere, but he is too arrogant, and the boss will always have opinions in his heart.

Huang Zhongjun has an opinion about him, Ma Xiaogang doesn't know it, but he doesn't care, he directly shows that he is unhappy, because he has enough confidence, and Huayang Media can't do without him.

If you change jobs, it's the same to go to other companies, and if you really want to leave, you have to wait for the company to go public and get shares.

However, Xu Wan said again, "Are you so worried about that Li Qian?"

"I just don't want to be in trouble, and I'm not tired of intrigues. ”

Ma Xiaogang shook his head, with that time and energy, it is better to teach young actresses acting skills and take classes.

"Then what if he can't get angry and scold you, is it possible that you plan to scold him now?"

"That's too cheap, and I said him, is it possible that he still dares to talk back?"

Ma Xiaogang smiled conceitedly, no matter how tempered young people are, in the face of the education and criticism of the predecessors of the great director, is it difficult to dare to fight back?

That's not the other way around, I don't understand the rules at all, no one can be so stupid.
