Chapter 202: Time Planning Bureau

Living Together in Time and Space - the best love movie in recent years, an urban fantasy romantic comedy, the laughter and emotional stalks are not embarrassing, the tears have not fallen into clichΓ©s, the young and beautiful Tong Liya is eye-catching, Lei Jiayin is so honest that it makes people feel good, every supporting role is very outstanding, the burden is quite natural, and the easter eggs are even more surprising, unexpectedly good-looking!"

"In 2009, even the biggest dark horse since the new century, "Living Together in Time and Space" is fully worthy of a super high box office of more than 100 million in nine days, and it is rare that this small-budget movie has no big stars, and it is a movie that completely relies on quality to win the box office!"

"Following Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, and Li Qing, the new generation of directors in the mainland has added a new force, and Su Lun, a young girl who has just graduated from the Chinese opera directing department, has once again injected fresh blood into Chinese films!"

"The success of "Living Together in Time and Space" once again proves Li Qian's amazing vision, and he has discovered four talented young directors in a row, and Li Qian is worthy of the Bole of the film industry!"

"The thinking that "Living Together in Time and Space" brings to Chinese filmmakers is not only a big director + big star + big investment can achieve a high box office, young actors, young directors, and small investments, as long as they make movies with their hearts and are sincere enough, the audience will still buy it!"

"There is no sensational love, there is no vulgar love and hate, "Living Together in Time and Space" avoids sensationalism and vulgarity, and makes the love scene interesting and watchable, if you don't care about the appearance of the actor, it can be said to be a love movie worth watching in the theater. ”

......

"No, what do you mean by not caring about the actor's appearance?"

In Li Qian's studio, the publicity was temporarily ended, and several people who returned to the capital to hold a celebration party with a box office of more than 100 million yuan gathered in the studio.

Looking at the news and comments, everyone is still very happy.

But when he saw this, Lei Jiayin was very unhappy.

When you talk about movies, you talk about movies, what do you do with your appearance, ginseng rooster!

"Big head, you can't help but let others tell the truth, you're pretty good among ordinary people, but standing with Yaya, isn't it ugly. Li Qian smiled.

"Yes, that's what the Boss said. ”

Lei Jiayin is silent, what can he say, saying that he is very handsome and a good match for Tong Liya?

It's a long life!

Regarding Lei Jiayin's cute and cute appearance, netizens are also very interested, in fact, the hero and heroine and the movie, at this time, with "Living Together in Time and Space" breaking 100 million in nine days, the popularity has reached its peak, overshadowing any movie in the same period.

Even if "2012" is unstoppable, it seems that it is rushing towards 400 million, and it may be able to surpass "Transformers 2".

But the popularity is still not in a hurry "Living Together in Time and Space", not even half of it.

After all, it's a Hollywood movie, and there's nothing to say about the content and actors.

Two unknown young actors, plus a newly graduated rookie director, got together to have a box office of over 100 million, or broke 100 million in nine days, which is no less shocking than Li Qian's original "Frequency of Life and Death" box office exceeded 100 million.

But.

Li Qian shook his head, "Actually, I shouldn't have used my name to promote it in the first place, otherwise, the effect would be much better than now, and Su Lun would not be ignored." ”

If it is really a three-no movie, a few third-tier stars, plus a rookie director, and the movie that broke 100 million in nine days, it would really be an earthquake in the industry.

It's even arguably the most shocking thing about the film industry all year.

The director and actor are not to mention that they became famous in one fell swoop, and they are almost there.

But now, it has been promoted in the name of Li Qian, and it can no longer be regarded as a three-no movie.

And most of the media and audiences are basically optimistic about this movie, after all, Li Qian has supervised three successful movies.

The success of the department made the outside world subconsciously see the movie he supervised as half of Li Qian's film.

is not so shocked, Su Lun, as a director, naturally gets much less attention, and the two actors are a little better.

"October Siege" is about to be released, and it is estimated that when the release is over, 80% of the audience will regard this movie as Chen Kexin's film.

But this was filmed by Chen Deshen, and Chen Kexin was the producer.

Hearing Li Qian say this, Su Lun hurriedly said, "If it weren't for the boss, it would not have been possible to have this achievement." ”

After a few years of drifting north, mixing at the bottom of the crew all the year round, drifting and singing in major bars in the capital, Su Lun has no other thoughts.

If she were alone, she might be a little arrogant.

But before him, Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, and Yang Qing, three directors who are also newcomers, have also succeeded, which is not accidental.

Besides, without Li Qian's words, she would not have had any chance to attract tens of millions of investments now.

Like this kind of small-budget movie that has no selling point before watching the film, in this kind of schedule, that is, the film is divided into less than ten points, and it is all during the day.

In broad daylight, how high the attendance rate can be.

No one reads it, and there is no such thing as word-of-mouth diffusion.

Even if there were, it would be half a month later, and it would be too late by then.

Su Lun still saw this very clearly.

Moreover, she is already very satisfied with the current situation, her debut film has a box office of hundreds of millions, and it is very likely to be 200 million.

A bumper harvest at the box office and word-of-mouth, which she didn't dare to think of before the movie.

The box office of the debut film is 200 million, which is unprecedented!

Now Su Lun is still in a trance and can't believe it.

Li Qian's first movie only had a box office of 100 million, and she originally thought that there would be a box office of 50 million, so it would be in vain for Li Qian.

Not only Su Lun, the director, but even Qi Yukun and Guo Fan, who helped the crew and participated in the later stage, are also a little unbelievable.

"Boss, according to what you said, if "Mulan" won't explode, then the box office of "Living Together in Time and Space" can reach 200 million, right?"

"It's not easy to say, even if the box office of "Mulan" will not be too high, but there will definitely be no less films scheduled in the early stage, China Film and Berner will jointly release it, if it is delayed for a week, and then in December, my film will be released, and there will be no film schedule, and the pirated version will come out early at that time. Li Qian shook his head.

The popular schedule is this disadvantage, the competition is too great.

"2012" is already a hit, even if "Mulan" is not jointly released by China Film and Bernard, it will sell 200 million yuan with "Painted Skin" starring Zhao Wei and Chen Kun before, and it is a big-budget blockbuster, and there will be no shortage of films.

Three blockbusters, the current market can't accommodate them, and there must be sacrifices.

In December, there will be a blockbuster movie every week, so there is really no film scheduled, not to mention piracy.

Even if it is difficult to break 200 million, Guo Fan is still a little puzzled by the achievements of this movie, "Boss, but what is the biggest selling point of the film "Living Together in Time and Space", this box office explosion is too sudden, right?"

First of all, it is not only Li Qian's reason, "Nightclub" has a good reputation as a comedy, and it is also produced by Li Qian, and it only sold more than 50 million, which affirms other reasons.

"It's a matter of audience. ”

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Romance films have actually been neglected, and now the proportion of female audiences is on par with male audiences, and even in many cities, it is far more than male audiences." ”

"Then there is comedy, the popular black comedy in the past two years, in fact, the audience is not high, to be precise, there are not many audiences who are willing to go to the cinema to watch black comedy, the box office analysis of "Nightclub" before, the proportion of the box office in first-tier cities is far lower than the average, and the tastes of audiences in various regions and first- and second-tier cities are also different.

There is a difference between the tastes of the audience in big cities and second- and third-tier cities, not that people in big cities have high tastes, but the environment is different.

"Living Together in the Supermarket" has both comedy and love, which grabs the female audience, and the main jokes and emotional scenes will not have a sense of distance from young people in big cities and small towns.

This is why costume films are all killed in the first, second and third-tier markets, unlike films with modern backgrounds, it is easy to lose a part of the audience if they have different styles. ”

There are also domestic agencies that conduct box office surveys for various types of each year, targeting all ages and cities, and it is easy to draw conclusions.

The box office of comedies and thrillers in second- and third-tier cities is usually better than that in first-tier cities.

The box office and reputation of "Three Shots of Surprise" in the Lunar New Year will definitely be much worse than that in the north.

Li Qian has a very gorgeous film "Little Times" in his memory, and he doesn't have to wait for this film to come out at all, Li Qian can guess now that the box office and reputation in the south will definitely surpass that in the north, and the situation in second- and third-tier cities is also better than that in first-tier cities.

is purely caused by environmental differences, the first-tier cities are already prosperous, and they will not be too enthusiastic about the false glitz and delicacy in the film.

Not only first, second and third-tier cities, but also Central China, South China, Southwest China, and North China, have different viewing habits.

Women accounted for 60% of the audience in the southwest and 16% in the south of the country after 9 p.m., both of which were the highest in the country.

"The proportion of audiences of all ages in various regions of the post-70s, post-80s, and post-90s is also different, and the different types of audiences in different regions are also different.

To make a commercial film, you must understand the market, and you can't help but ask about the world, then it's the same as the official master of optoelectronics, Hollywood has been complaining about them for the first two years, and sending costume blockbusters to the Olympics every year, in fact, they have long been tired of it, we still think people like to watch it. ”

Guo Fan thought so, "This is the same as chasing girls, you have to figure out people's preferences, when I was in college, my roommate chased a girl, the first time they went to eat Malatang, the chat was very happy, he thought that people like Malatang very much, and he went to eat every time in the future, but people didn't like it very much, and he was tired of eating every time, and my classmates didn't find out, so they finished playing." ”

"Brother Fan, the classmate you mentioned... It's you, right?" Tong Liya interjected coldly.

"No! no, how could it be me, do you think I look like such a stupid person!" Guo Fan immediately retorted.

"Hey, hey. ”

"Told me about my classmates, my roommate, my roommate who slept in my lower bunk. Again, emphasized.

Everyone held back their laughter.

"Okay, don't expose other people's scars, go to the celebration press conference, don't be late. ”

drove Su Lun and a few of them to the hotel to attend the press conference, Li Qian himself did not go, at this time, with the popularity of "Living Together in Time and Space", Li Qian was no longer needed, don't steal their limelight.

......

"Come to Lao Guo, I've thought of a good idea after resting for the past two days, it's still a sci-fi type, you can see if you can shoot it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Fan immediately became interested, and he was determined to make a sci-fi blockbuster, but he was very sad these days.

But any exquisite story always feels a little less interesting when made into a movie, and it is not the sci-fi blockbuster he thought.

And the story with a grand background and spectacular scenes is too difficult to shoot.

Da Liu has published two "Three-Body Problems", and he likes it very much, but he can't shoot it, and he doesn't dare to shoot it for him, for fear of ruining such a good one.

It's even more unreliable to make up a science fiction story by yourself.

He just loves to watch sci-fi movies, and if he really wants to write, it will be a headache.

While looking for a suitable story, he also asked Li Qian to think of a brain hole for him, and if he had a good idea, then the initial problem would be solved.

Guo Fan hurriedly asked, "Boss, what is it, tell me quickly." ”

Li Qian smiled, "There are not too many special effects, it is a plot-oriented science fiction film, but you should be interested in this idea." ”

He can't play with more special effects, the cost is high, the domestic technical level is not enough, and he hasn't been exposed to it yet.

The most important thing in science fiction is not creativity, any classic science fiction film, no matter how gorgeous the special effects, must also have a good idea.

Hearing Li Qian say this, Guo Fan was even more itchy.

"Boss, tell me quickly. ”

"Don't worry, I'll think about it. ”

After taking a sip of water and thinking about it in his mind, Li Qian spoke.

"In the future, humans will be able to manipulate time and rewrite age as they please.

In human society, no matter how long this person lives, his age is forever fixed at 25 years old, and fathers, sons, grandchildren, grandfathers, and even the upper and lower eighteen, or even eighty generations, as long as they live forever, their appearance will be fixed at 25 years old.

Because there is no natural death, in order to avoid population expansion, human society abandons the previous currency and uses time as the currency circulation, and after a person's time is used up, the person will die.

Working in a factory, the salary paid is time, and it takes time to buy things, time replaces all uses of money, and time can also be given.

One day, an ordinary person was given a great fortune and was given thousands of years of time......"

"Can humans control time, and time instead of money?"

"The rich 1% control 90% of the time?"

Listening to Li Qian's talk about this idea, Guo Fan's eyes lit up, this is a brain hole that he has never heard of.

"So the boss, the rich live forever, and the poor die day and night, this is mainly a movie in which capitalists exploit civilians and the male protagonist "robs the rich and helps the poor"?"

Li Qian nodded, "What is the core, you think about it yourself, it's not impossible for a superhero to break the rules, but don't forget, the main heartstrings of the Goudong audience are emotions, family, friendship, and love." ”

Guo Fan thought thoughtfully, "Time means life, when the time you have is cleared, life will end, and life and death are the best time for emotions to burst out." ”

"Let me give you an example, for example, the protagonist is an ordinary person, he has limited time, he has to be careful every day, his son goes to work in the morning, and the mother plans the day's itinerary and the time it will take, and then gives the rest of the time to her son, and then gives her time when her son comes back from work and gets his salary.

But when I finally went home to take the bus, I found that the bus price had increased and I needed more time to buy a ticket.

The mother could only run back, and the son found that the time had passed and the mother had not returned, so he went along the road to find it.

Eventually, a second before time runs out, mother and son meet on the street and run to each other.

However, there is only one second left to give time to my mother.

Think about the scene at that time, because I maintained the appearance of a 25-year-old, like a young man, I wore high heels when I went out, and my feet were bruised and bleeding when I ran barefoot, and I was just one second away, and I could only die in my son's arms in the end.

Faced with this situation, is the actor about to collapse, he has just gained a lot of time. ”

Guo Fan asked rhetorically, "There is no other way, is it true that everyone will not be saved when they see death?"

"Don't lift the bar!"

"Time is life, who will help in that kind of society, the bus price has risen, and the driver will not let you in less time, even in the current society, if you don't put in coins, the driver will not let you get on the bus. ”

Guo Fan smiled embarrassedly, listening to the story just now, he asked purely as an audience.

"Boss, what's the name of this story?"

"Hmm... It's called "Time Planning Bureau", it's a bit vulgar, but it's simple and direct. ”

"Time Planning Bureau?"

Guo Fan also nodded in agreement, and immediately rushed to the computer, and began to write down everything Li Qian said, and then slowly conceived the specifics.

The creativity of this film is worth 90 points, but as far as Li Qian's opinion of this film, it only scored 70 points, which is a pity, it depends on what good ideas Guo Fan can have.
