"The above is very concerned and satisfied with the repercussions of the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea during this period, and suggests that units at all levels can shoot some films about the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea. ”

Lai Peikang directly explained the meaning of inviting Li Qian over, "Nanbang has made a lot of this kind of film over the years, we haven't made it for many years, and we can't forget history." ”

It is suggested that you can...

Li Qian shook his head, it was almost the same as changing it to an order, who would dare not listen to the advice, and who would dare to say no.

"Lai Dong, just say it directly, what do you need me to do. ”

specially brought himself over, it was obvious that there was something wrong, Li Qian could only hope that there was no leader named him.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, but it's not small. Lai Peikang smiled bitterly, "It's not a big deal for Director Li, but for others, it's a big deal." Finish. ”

What about playing dumb riddles?

Li Qian was speechless, I didn't know and thought that the temple was for people to look at, the donor had a bloody disaster today, can it be big or small at this time?

Seeing that Li Qian didn't ask, Lai Peikang paused, and then said, "In previous years, this gift film was easy to do, but this time it was specially emphasized that the gift film should not be far away from the public, and it should resonate with the people, which has stumped the major film studios." ”

"Have a box office request?" asked Li Qian.

"Ahem. ”

Speaking so directly, Lai Pingkang coughed lightly and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if the ticket is not at the box office, the main thing is to make the people like to watch it." ”

"Understood. Li Qian was noncommittal, doesn't this mean the same thing.

In the 17 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, that is, from 49 to 66, more than 450 main theme movies were made in China.

This output is actually not too small compared to Hollywood at that time.

However, compared with Hollywood in the 50s, when television sets were popular, Mi Lijian sold 200,000 TVs a month, and the film industry was hit hard.

In addition, at that time, the "Non-American Investigative Committee" was stationed in Hollywood, and a large number of directors, screenwriters, and actors were arrested and wanted, and the "Hollywood Ten Gentlemen" were imprisoned, and Chaplin also fled overseas.

At that time, the regulation of the film industry was much more cruel than it is now in China.

Speaking of gift films, the gift films at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China are basically simple and true, close to life, full of the atmosphere of the times, and promote the correct mainstream values, so that the current audience can get an entertainment experience at the same time, but also get deep emotional resonance and great spiritual encouragement.

So it's different from now, it's not a film with a mission, but it's very popular among the public.

Although there were no films to watch at that time.

Until the mid-80s, the main theme movies were the mainstream of the market, and in that era, there were often five or six movie theaters in a county, and the number of moviegoers a year was more than 20 billion, which was more than ten times that of North America in the same period, and there were several main theme movies with hundreds of millions of moviegoers every year.

However, since the late 80s, with the impact of television, imported films, and Hong Kong films, few people have watched it, and since then, the main theme movies are almost the same as the audience's impression now.

As for the box office requirements?

It was because there was no such requirement that all the major studios went out of business.

And now, listening to Lai Peikang's meaning, the above-mentioned tribute film to resist rice and aid Korea has box office requirements.

"Lai Dong, how much box office is enough to pay the difference?" Li Qian asked bluntly.

"......" Lai Peikang was almost choked, this Li Qian is not good at this, how can he talk like this.

"Ahem... That's not what it means, it's not just the box office, it's best to be able to achieve a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth. ”

Li Qian shook his head, this is even more difficult, just ask for the box office, just do it according to "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", there are so many organs and units across the country to charter the venue, and the box office will not be bad.

However, if you still want word of mouth, in this era of commercial films, it is too difficult to take care of both.

Not to mention gift films, it is rare to have any types of films that can achieve good box office reputation.

Moreover, the tribute film must absolutely follow the conditions of patriotism, rationalism, collectivism, and heroism.

This heroism can't be compared with superheroes, first of all, we must have a collective consciousness, and then we must be rational, Li Yunlong, Lu Yong's roles, if they are used as gift films, eighty percent will be passed.

This almost limits the protagonist to death, just three words.

In this day and age, this kind of role is precisely unpopular in the film market.

Li Qian analyzed Lai Peikang from the perspective of a film practitioner.

Lai Peikang nodded frequently and said with a smile, "So I need Director Li's help." ”

Li Qian shook his head, "Lai Dong, if you want me to shoot it, I really don't have that effort, no matter how young I am a movie, I can't hold it anymore, and I plan to reduce the frequency of filming in the future."

And the future listing of the film industry will be a matter of one or two years, plus Penguin, Ah, and Wanda have been preparing for so long, it is estimated that it is not a ticket, the industry will definitely change a lot in the future, to maintain the company's position in the industry, in order to follow the company's employees, I must also devote my energy to the company. ”

Lai Peikang said with a smile, "Director Li is really not easy, I also understand this, and I don't want to shoot it now, as long as it will be released on the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea in 2020, it will be enough, and there will be enough time." ”

Li Qian was speechless again, the things of 2020 are ready now, there are still more than five years.

"But Lai Dong, I've already finished filming all my thoughts in "Rejuvenation", and I'm really not suitable for making a tribute film, I don't have that experience, and it's hard to explain if I mess up. ”

This kind of thing, Li Qian really doesn't want to do it, it's thankless, and he doesn't need to shoot this to get the favor above, after all, he already has something.

No matter what Lai Peikang said, Li Qian just didn't answer, anyway, no leader called his name.

In the end, Lai Peikang had no choice but to ask Li Qian to serve as the artistic consultant of the preparatory team and the future crew, directing the work.

Consultants are consultants, anyway, for the first time in so many years, there will definitely be official and semi-official supervision, and people may not listen to his opinions.

Moreover, the movie that was only released in 20 years is still early.

......

In the afternoon, Li Qian also held a lively celebration press conference for "Rejuvenation" to break 2 billion.

Today is also the day of the release of "One Step Away", and before that, this film was also considered one of the two biggest opponents of "Rejuvenation".

The other is, of course, "Taiping Wheel", but it's already pounced.

Talking about this movie, Li Qian didn't say anything, just said that he hoped it would be a movie as wonderful as "Let the Bullets Fly".

This is also the hope of most audiences, a "Let the Bullets Fly", which makes the audience's respect for Jiang Wen go further and rekindle their confidence.

However, a few hours passed, and in the evening, the movie was screened several times, and the online reviews were not very good.

Many viewers said that they were confused from the beginning and couldn't understand what was filmed at all.

This kind of voice is not a few, but there are many of them.

However, some viewers were hooked, saying that Jiang Wen was still the same Jiang Wen and had never disappointed.

Word-of-mouth is polarized, the praise is highly praised, and the key is that even the movie reviews are a little incomprehensible.

Bad reviews are almost all incomprehensible, whatever.

However, "Let the Bullets Fly" was in front, and many people walked into the cinema on the first day of Jiang Wen, and the box office on the first day was as high as 91 million!

Nearly 100 million on the first day, and even overtook "Rejuvenation" and topped the Japanese crown.

"Rejuvenation" got 57 million on Thursday, compared with 70 million on Wednesday, a significant decline.

After all, it has been half a month since it was released, and under the impact of a blockbuster with nearly 100 million yuan on the first day, this decline is not large, and "The Year in a Hurry" and "Taiping Wheel" are close to being cut in half.

However, the ultra-high first-day box office did not change the polarized reputation.

After a whole day of screening, the reviews of two or three million viewers are representative enough.

Polarization is even beginning to tilt in the other direction.

Many supporters of Jiang Wen praised the movie as "avant-garde", "absurd", and "enjoyable", but more viewers said that they "couldn't understand it", "contrived", and "pretended to be X".

Some media went to the theater to track it, and the attendance rate of the cinema in the core area of the capital during the prime time in the evening was less than 50%, and many left halfway.

Starting the next day, the box office had a momentum of collapse, and only got 84 million.

Friday is lower than Thursday, and anyone in the know realizes that this is going to be an avalanche.

And "Rejuvenation" got 73 million on the day of the weekend.

On Saturday, "One Step Away" did not continue to decline, and still got 85 million.

However, this is not much different from a decline.

"Rejuvenation" got 87 million and regained the Japanese crown again.

On Sunday, the box office of "One Step Away" slipped to 76 million, and the box office in the first weekend was a total of 336 million.

"Rejuvenation" plus this weekend, the total box office has come to 2.299 billion.

On Monday of the new week, "Rejuvenation" still maintained a stable trend, getting 47 million in a single day.

And "One Step Away" has collapsed with the collapse of word of mouth, and it completely collapsed on the first working day to get 20 million.

The decline is as high as 70%, and it has a fight with "Taiping Wheel".

The movie, which had a box office of nearly 100 million on the first day, ended up with such a result, which also made the Internet more and more lively.

Fans who support Jiang Wen are arguing for him, saying that it is no wonder that ordinary audiences can't understand it, but that the movie is too advanced, constantly analyzing one metaphor after another in the movie.

Although "Let the Bullets Fly" also has a lot of metaphors, this time the audience didn't buy it, and the comments throughout the article were incomprehensible, boring, and wanting to sleep.

There are indeed many metaphors, but I can't understand the movie, who is in the mood to care about the metaphors in the movie.

Overall, this movie can please some people and make them fascinated, but most people can't match the brain waves at all.

It's like a few people getting drunk and running to the side of the road to sing loudly, they are excited, but the onlookers will only curse stupidly in their hearts.

To put it more simply, if you compare this movie to a person, that is, the brain turns too fast, the mouth can't keep up with the brain, the hand can't keep up with the mouth, and the final expression is fragmented, but if you can keep up with the rhythm of this person, then you can see it.

It's a pity that most of the audience is ordinary people.

The word-of-mouth has completely collapsed, and even the comic evaluation of the always young people is not good, and the box office has also announced that the competition for the New Year stalls can end early with a 70% drop on the first working day.

From the great anticipation before the release to the collapse of the current box office reputation, it is like an experience from heaven to hell.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Wen didn't react much, but said meaningfully, the more free you are, the more lonely you are, and if you don't want to be lonely, you won't have so much freedom.

Obviously, his loneliness is that the masses don't understand him.

However, no matter what Jiang Wen said, the public was still scolding.

Moreover, even Wanda, one of the distributors and producers of the movie, Wang Gongzi posted on Weibo, "Haven't seen the children's shoes of "One Step Away", congratulations... Escaped this fate. ”

It was rumored before that this film Wanda gave a billion guarantee, and Xiao Wang's words immediately made people can't help but speculate whether Wanda is going to lose money, and the pony is angry.

This is just the beginning, one of the producers of "One Step Away", the president of Sony Huaguo, said that the movie made the nouveau riche dissatisfied, pointing out that Xiao Wang is NewMoney like Wu Qi played by Wen Zhang in the movie.

In "One Step Away", NewMoney refers to the Chinese-style nouveau riche who have no traditional cultural background and have only received Western cultural education.

Although it's a curse, it seems to be the same as Xiao Wang.

I don't have a traditional cultural background, I studied in the West, and I don't even know my academic qualifications.

Once he said that he was a scumbag in the world's top universities, but he was a top student in Qingbei, and some netizens began to pick up his academic qualifications.

This is not all, Brother Cheng Kai's early Hong Huang also came out to scold him.

The official Weibo of "One Step Away" then posted a poster of "Wu Qi" in Xiao Wang's PS film, and then deleted it in seconds.

Xiao Wang, who is invincible on the Internet with his father, met someone who doesn't give face this time, where can he stand this anger.

He posted on Weibo again that rich people can't even dislike a movie this year, hehe... I'm just ***, the movie is made like ** and don't let people say it?I'm too lazy to evaluate your movie, hurry up and don't insult the audience, I suggest that the producer add a line of words before the movie is screened, 'This movie does not accept any bad reviews'. ”

Early the next morning, maybe he couldn't be angry, Xiao Wang posted another Weibo and continued to spray.

There was a commotion on the Internet, especially on Weibo, which suppressed "Rejuvenation".

This is not over, Xiao Wang's good friend Lin Gengxin stood up and forwarded Weibo to express his support.

Weibo also came to join in the excitement and conducted a survey, nearly 10,000 people voted within an hour, and more than half of the people supported Xiao Wang, which was a big surprise.

However, what made Li Qian's three views even more ruined was that of the nearly 10,000 people who voted, thousands of them chose the option of "husband Mo Da".

"I'm ......"

Li Qian really can't understand the brain circuits of these people, if he calls a handsome guy a husband, he can still understand it, but this ......

It's a good New Year's file, and it is so messed up, a cloud of black smoke and miasma, especially Weibo, what the hell has it become.

Turning off the computer, Li Qian shook his head, looked at the time when it was almost up, and asked the driver to prepare the car.

......

At the exit of the airport, Guo Fan, who was pushing a suitcase, looked at Li Qian who came to pick him up with excitement.

"Boss, I'm back, I'm ready!"

Li Qian smiled and patted Guo Fan's arm, "The three-year period has arrived, welcome to return from your studies and revitalize domestic science fiction movies!"

What is the three-year period?

Guo Fan was a little strange, why he hadn't seen him for so long, and why did the boss suddenly become such a middle two.

And it doesn't seem like it's been there for three years, right?

But no matter what, when he got in the car, Guo Fan began to excitedly tell Li Qian what he learned in Hollywood.
