Chapter 164 Propaganda (4/5)
In fact, "Saving Mr. Wu" is already very restrained, and Lu Xiaoran can completely make it fatalism.
For example, if Huazi had dreams of film since he was a child, and had been to Hengdian to play supporting roles, he finally found that there was no use of kidnapping as his way out!
On the other hand, Mr. I was very happy, big stars...
Give people a sense of the meaning that this is destined by God...
But he didn't do this. On the one hand, he felt that the audience might not like this expression method. In addition, he didn't feel that fate was destined by heaven.
Do you just think that life is not going to be successful?
Huazi's heart is perverted and violent.
Lingchi can't relieve such a person...
Still setting a pre-standard position for him?
Preset an egg!
He is not Jia Zhangke, so he just made the murderer a knight!
"Saving Mr. Wu" still stands in the position of Mr. Wu and the police. I believe many "film critics" are not very satisfied with this...
In fact, movies are, after all, the director’s personal expression. The director’s position and aesthetics represent the difference between good and evil in the movie itself, especially the subject matter of crime.
But if you stand on the side of justice, the drama will not be good, so the focus of many crime themes is self-salvation after crime...
...
Alang likes "Save Mr. Wu", but he is also vaguely worried about the box office of this movie.
Nothing else, crime themes naturally don’t please the market!
"Disciples" is almost the most popular Hong Kong film in recent years, with a box office of 72.5 million...
The so-called king's appeal is just that.
Of course, to determine whether a movie can be sold well, in addition to the theme, it also depends on the schedule and promotion.
There are two major pitfalls to avoid when predicting box office: the first is that the hits are unpredictable, mostly because of the quality of the best, breaking the genre ceiling. For example, "Painted Skin", no one expected that this movie would actually exceed 200 million. Of course, this type of thing is rare once a year; the second is that when encountering a black swan event in public opinion, the box office has risen or fall sharply, deviating from the prediction range. The most typical one is "Live Sea Fortress"...
No matter how you look at the movie, the box office should be more than 300 million. As a result, it was tragically suppressed by public opinion...
The schedule is very simple, as if playing mahjong, how much you win depends not only on your skills, but also on which table you are on.
If you are on the New Year's Eve and have a main work, the box office will not be less than 200 million, otherwise the entire schedule will be aborted...
It will be released on November 26th, with a suitable schedule, and it can be regarded as a work that has a good appearance during the New Year’s holiday: This year’s "Southern Weekend" selected the top three movies in the box office, "Saving Mr. Wu" ranked third, of course "If You Are the One", and the second is "Mei Lanfang"...
As for publicity...
At this stage, more than 50% of the movies are like reputation, schedule, type and cast, and the other half are on marketing!
If you do well in publicity, bad movies can be sold...
Speaking of publicity, this is the secret skill of Orange Image!
...
The promotional work of the movie is actually very complicated. Generally speaking, it is to leverage all resources and spread all publicity actions, so that more people can pay attention to this movie and want to watch this movie.
So, Lu Xiaoran and Liu Dehua presented a periodical "Lu Yu's Appointment"...
It was very hard to go on the show with King Liu because Lu Yu only asked him and rarely asked Lu Xiaoran. He chatted with Liu Dehua for the first thirty minutes until the live director couldn't continue watching it. He asked about "Save Mr. Wu"...
"Did you want to find Liu Dehua from the beginning of this drama?"
"right!"
"Then why do you think he will answer?"
"The script is good. Brother Hua also knows movies. He can tell whether a good movie or a bad movie..."
"So, are you confident?"
"Not that. I contacted Brother Hua through Ning Hao, and then went to Hong Kong to chat with him for a long time. He asked a lot of questions, including style, set, and of course the most important shooting cycle... the actor contract that was signed in the end!"
"Then he promised to star in the show, are you happy?"
"Of course, he agreed to star in the show, and the things that followed will be much easier. It's really a bunch of investors chasing me and giving me money... When you have Liu Dehua in your hand and only Lu Xiaoran in your hand, are two different concepts!"
Chen Luyu nodded and then asked Liu Dehua: "What do you think of him?"
"I was very impressed. I just finished watching "Border Storm" at that time. I think he is good at telling stories and has a very stylish style..."
"What about now?"
"Now...he is really a bit ruthless when filming!"
"How do you say this?"
"I remember there was a scene where I was strangled to death when filming this scene. He really asked the actor to tie my neck with a rope. I really couldn't breathe in those few seconds. It was the closest death I had in my acting career!"
Chen Luyu looked shocked: "Really?"
These are all Taiwanese books I have reviewed before. As for publicity, there must be some point!
There is no more appropriate publicity point than Liu Dehua’s claim that “Save Mr. Wu” puts me on the verge of death!
Lu Xiaoran said leisurely: "We have tried this repeatedly. Yueming is Pan Yueming, the actor who tied you. He didn't dare to start. I asked him to tie me three times, the longest time was as long as 15 seconds. It felt really uncomfortable...but it was very real!"
"Sometimes, in order to achieve the effect, you must shoot it in real time, otherwise it will be easy to get rid of it. Brother Hua has a very professional ethics. We discussed it with him and he agreed..."
“Professional ethics?”
Lu Xiaoran sorted out the language and said, "It's the actors who can endure hardships on the scene to shoot. What I remember most clearly was the scene where Huazi slapped Mr. Wu in the face. At the beginning, we didn't slap the face. We looked at the on-site monitor and felt that the conflict was not enough and should be more violent, so we decided to slap the face on the spot..."
"We have the information we took at that time. Come and take a look!"
Chen Luyu was very responsible and released the VCR on the scene. For about 30 seconds, Fidelity Long pushed Liu Dehua while pushing Liu Dehua. Liu Dehua wanted to resist, but he pressed his gun against his head and slapped him hard in the face...
The slap was very loud, and a group of viewers sighed...
"Is this a real fight?"
"Of course, and Fidelity Long Hanhan took action, and he was very heavy. When we saw Brother Hua's face, we instantly swollen..."
"Who is Fidellon?"
"It's Huazi who kidnapped Mr. Wu in the play. He was the Golden Rooster Award winner last year, and his acting skills are really great!"
"He is Liu Dehua, you guys dare so?"
Liu Dehua said: "I always feel that when an actor comes to the crew, he is no longer the actor himself, he is already a role. Everything is for the plot service. The directors said that this is better, so I will just get a few slaps in the face. Anyway, it will be fine after a while!"
"This is what I'm talking about as an actor's professional ethics. Many celebrities are very famous, but their professional ethics are really messy. This is also the reason why Liu Dehua became famous for 30 years!"
