"It's very important. Without the box office success of "Border Storm", I would never have the right to express myself!"

"If you don't say anything else, the production + promotion of "Save Mr. Wu" exceeds 60 million. Do you think there will be investors who are willing to give money to a novice to operate?"

Then it raised the second question: "Mei Lanfang's box office is not as good as "Save Mr. Wu", what do you want to say?"

"Why don't you say "Mei Lanfang" won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Picture?"

"There are some academic directors who think art is more important. Movies are their way of expression. They focus on the movie itself, not the box office. Such directors pursue the depth and thoughtfulness of the story, but do not pay much attention to its entertainment. This is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of ordinary audiences or box office. For example, "The Shawshank Redemption" that I like very much. Many people say that in addition to the ending sublimation of this movie, most of the plots are paved, just like eating a bunch of bitter melon and giving you a candy bean at the end. Although it is extremely sweet, it is difficult for people to be willing to experience the feeling of bitter melon again. So the audience does not buy it."

"Visual effects blockbusters, commercial films are the mainstay of box office, and this is basically the case in the world's main box office. It is impossible for a director to change, a ok script plus a well-behaved director and an actor who is not very out of the play, basically a popcorn that the audience likes."

Over the years, there has been a topic surrounding Lu Xiaoran: He is not from the director department!

A movie that is studied performance, a leading actor, a director, and makes one movie that sells better than the other. This is less complaints from many people in the circle...

Some people even publicly said online that "no matter how much Lu Xiaoran's movie is sold, he is just a businessman who doesn't understand movies."

Does it mean that a director from a college has to get a high box office to meet his cognition?

Can you guarantee that you can make a lot of money by studying at Tsinghua University?

Lu Xiaoran has always believed that professional background is just an identity, and it cannot guarantee the quality of the movie or the box office.

Kubrick is not a professional, but a magazine photography;

Nolan was not a professional, but a literary student;

The current college origin is still quite a fig leaf. Director Bi and Director Teng joined forces to pull off the fig leaf of the academy with two movies - one is called "Pure Heart·Dream Building Entertainment Circle" and the other is called "Live Sea Fortress";

This is as funny as the theory of the uselessness of reading.

Bill Gates succeeded. He dropped out of Harvard, and many Harvard students who did not drop out of school did not succeed. Conclusion, Harvard is a pheasant school.

Is this really the case?

Go and talk to your mother and try it!

My mother: I am reading a book again? What's the use of reading? Look at that person, if you don't study, how good it is to be in society?

Me: I don’t want to study anymore.

My mom: Try it again...

Me: I said I don’t want to study anymore.

My mom: You bastard, your dad and I worked hard to support you in school. If you don’t study, I won’t beat you to death today!

A good director who makes a popular masterpiece is not a necessary condition for a professional background, and making big bad movies has nothing to do with a professional background.

Moreover, simply using box office or domestic market box office to simply define "good movies" is also a very deformed definition.

For example, "The Story of the Tomb" and "Storm 2", these two movies started painting on the first day, with the former approaching 11 million on the first day, while "Storm 2" was almost the same, with only 8 million...

Are these two good movies?

...

"The Story of the Tomb"...

It was released on the first day. Given Zhou Jielun's strong appeal, theaters directly gave 30% of the filming schedule; "Storm and Cloud 2" only had 28%; in addition, "Time and Space Love Traveler" has 18% of the filming schedule, "Mulan" has 10% of the filming schedule, and "2012" has 12% of the filming schedule...

Zhou Jielun is really strong!

The kind of creative movie like "Slam Dunk" can actually exceed 100 million;

Special films like "Panda Man" have been introduced at high prices by five major mainland satellite TV stations, and even sold for two or three rounds of playback...

"The Story of the Tomb", Zhu Yanping + Zhou Jielun + Lin Zhilin, and even Director Chen helped...

In a word, many fans of Director Chen said that his performance in "The Story of the Tomb" is called "Birth toward Death", which roughly means "I am indestined to live + the walking dead"...

It is very vivid, and it summarizes many viewers’ perceptions of "The Story of the Tomb" in one sentence!

How bad is "Statou"?

Many people think of the most idiotic movie in film history until the release of "Fuchun Mountain Residence"...

Hey, both movies have Lin Zhilin!

Tao Jingying said at the Golden Horse Awards: Director Zhu Yanping, what an important director... Don’t challenge my bottom line, I will not be able to stand it.

To be honest, Zhu Yanping's bad films are normal, but "The Story of the Tomb" still breaks the lower limit...

Look at the lineup: Zhou Jielun, who has indeed lost several of Taiwan's trump cards, is still full of all-round appeal, uses Lin Zhilin, who has just started to go into the water to explore the depths, and has brought the support of Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Daoming and other teams. It is difficult to not pay attention.

But the story of "The Story of the Tomb" has no logic. The inexplicable toilet paper bandage man, the white-eyed desert flying eagle and his lover, these people appeared and disappeared bizarrely, which was incredible. Looking back, they were beaten up for the scramble.

To put it in Zhang Xiaobei's words: "The Story of the Mausoleum" is a movie that has reached a new level. It completely puts some action scenes without plots in between the implanted advertisements.

The five thunders hit the top is not an exaggeration!

‘Let’s go and watch “Statou”!’

‘No, get out!’

The only contribution of "The Story of the Tomb" is probably the destruction of Zhou Jielun's box office myth.

Later, he participated in "Su Qi'er", "Reverse War" and "The Green Hornet", which suffered losses to varying degrees...

But it doesn't matter to him. He has milk tea to soothe his inner loneliness...

OK, after talking about "The Story of the Tomb", let's talk about "Storm 2"...

Ahem...

The cards of Hong Kong actors have really declined. Cheng Yi-face + Aaron Kwok-sung + "Fengyun" series of big ips, but he never did "Spirituals" on the first day.

That's "Storm and Clouds"!

In 1998, "The World of War" won 20 million yuan in the mainland, with a box office revenue of HK$41.5 million, the annual box office champion...

Is the cards not enough?

It turns out that the choice of theaters is correct.

"Storm 2" is comparable to "Statou" to an ugly level!

After thinking about how to squirt this movie for a long time, I finally summarized two words: stool.

No plot, no characters, no character, no details - "Storm and Cloud 2" is almost equivalent to a movie without a script, and the whole movie is a super long trailer.

It's hard for you to catch a spoiler "Storm 2" because there is no plot in this movie.

‘Why go watch "Storm and Cloud 2"?’

‘No, get out!’

‘The Three Guns are OK!’

‘…’

"Three Guns" is not possible either!
