Chapter 301 Word of Mouth is Controversial (3/6)

(Is it good to ask for a reward?)

Is "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" an anti-Japanese drama?

Surely so!

Which bandit has tanks in hand?

The original version of Xu Laoqian designed the character Han Geng very smartly, and directly grafted everything to the legendary story...

Director Lu doesn’t want to do this. He really thinks it’s just a little exaggerated, not a so-called magic drama!

We have to tear the Japanese with our hands, and the United States also has super powers to destroy **;

We made the Japanese man so stupid, and the Germans in French "The Escape from the Tiger" are even more stupid.

Why can others become a classic of a generation, both applauding and popular, while ours is the "magic drama"?

In fact, it's just one word: Is it good to look good?

Revolutionary films such as "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare" and "Plain Guerrillas" put aside some political propaganda factors and technical bottlenecks, regardless of the plot, expression techniques, and the level of attentiveness of the cast and crew is comparable to that of Hollywood blockbusters. They are also a classic of a generation...

The reason is very simple. These movies are very good, while those magical dramas are "not good to watch".

He thought so and did the same. Most of the audience was very satisfied with "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and thought it was very stylish!

"Taking Tiger Mountain" is indeed very game-like, anime and action-oriented...

The original work itself is an entertainment-driven type, and it is always prosperous in terms of wonder settings and narrative conflicts!

"Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" has a Douban score of only 7.5 points, and the highest liked one, "I just say this is an anti-Japanese drama. "Snow Leopard" says "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy", and Lu Xiaoran really has not made any progress at all!"

It doesn't matter...

Positioning itself is a commercial film, as long as the public thinks it is good...

Moreover, "The Great Trouble in Heaven", "Where Are We Going, Dad", "Macau Storm" and "Taking Tiger Mountain with Strategy"...

You choose.

In fact, during the seven days of the Spring Festival, "The Great Trouble" received a box office of 200 million yuan. According to the current situation, there is no suspense over 400 million yuan - it was unable to make a profit...

"Where Are We Going, Dad?", the seven days of the Spring Festival, actually had a box office of 200 million...

It's unreasonable!

Lu Xiaoran had no time to condemn it and was busy running for the roadshow...

"Macau Storm" was released for seven days, with a box office of almost over 100 million...

However, in February, Hollywood blockbusters disappeared collectively, just "Frozen"...

"The Hobbit 2" will not be released until February 21.

However, on February 14, there was a movie called "Beijing Love Story" by Teacher Chen. In a sentence, Yaya did not appear, and the actor became Ma Shu...

...

In Shenzhen Market, on the roadshow, Lu Xiaoran started to sneer:

"It's a bit beyond expectations. We originally thought that we would win 1 billion in seven days of the Spring Festival, but now we have 200 million more. I can only say that the audience is too enthusiastic!"

"We have 20,000 screens. In theory, the output of a day can reach 600 million. Judging from the box office development in the past two years, there is no suspense that the total box office this year will exceed 35 billion. With a 35 billion market, the top works should be 2 billion, otherwise, it will not be able to support such a large market!"

"You need a macro analysis, you can't just watch the box office of one movie!"

"I haven't watched other movies yet, so I'm not good at commenting on it, but I heard that "Dad, Where to Go" is a variety show, which can be released in the cinema? Then, from now on, we will do TV series and the last episode will be put into the cinema!"

"I have no objection to "Dad, Where to Go", except that it appears, my mother always urges me to have a baby... I like watching it!"

"But if any variety show can be made into a movie, will the film industry be in chaos in the future? Our Run Man also learned to make an extra episode of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and I let them broadcast it online. Don't I know that such things can make money? A distribution company and a filmmaker should have strict bottom-line requirements for the industry. You can't just try to make money, and you don't even follow the minimum standards!"

"Each person has his own preferences. Since the audience likes it, it means there is a market. Of course, this statement is fine, and I will not interfere with everyone's free choices! But as a filmmaker, I must emphasize that variety shows are not movies! It is a documentary!"

"The low cost, high returns and quick results of variety shows will inevitably attract investors' attention. Then many good movies attract investors will become a problem. In the long run, bad money drives out good money, which will definitely affect the healthy growth of the film market in the long run!"

"The market is very popular now, and I think the responsibility of us real filmmakers has become to let the audience know what good movies are and what good domestic movies are."

"We cannot use everyone's preferences to blur the movie market too much. I will not let the relevant departments intervene. The market economy and government departments intervene. It will become very strange! If we can't even beat freaks like variety shows and big movies, just don't make movies!"

"I am jealous? Why am I jealous? Don't say that it sold for 200 million yuan, even if it sold for 20 billion yuan, I will not be jealous. There are countless bad movies released in the market every year, and there are countless bad movies selling. Have you ever seen me speak? I am targeting the phenomenon of variety shows and big movies!"

The popularity of Lu Xiaoran, every word he said, will attract a huge amount of attention!

Soon, the phenomenon of variety shows and movies began to be discussed online...

Most of them are opposed, some say, "In fact, the market is the best referee, and the supply and demand relationship is the king. Let the audience choose for themselves, and the audience is the best way to evaluate it!"

‘The producer has the right to make his own movies, and the individual has the right to watch movies. I don’t like Lu Xiaoran’s tickets, so I will leave the market to prepare the market for it.’

‘When Dad, I took the old man to watch it together. I was very happy. I don’t understand where such a movie offended Director Lu Da!’

‘You can care about me, and who the audience loves to watch?’

There is also a saying, "I agree that these movies are shoddy and lack sincerity. But it is reasonable for some to shoot and some to watch such movies. As a director, it is normal for Lu Xiaoran to look down on such movies, but what's going on with boycotting?"

Of course, there are also supporters, and many people in the industry support it. Dagangko rarely supports it: "These phenomena will have an extremely bad impact on the development of Chinese films, resulting in no producers who will continue to be willing to invest in a serious and hard-working movie."

Yu Dong also posted on Weibo: "Is the variety show movie a movie? No! Should we boycott it?"

...

On February 14th, Valentine's Day, the market hit a new peak, with 320 million!

"Beijing Love Story" won a box office of 106 million yuan in a single day. Teacher Chen served as director for the first time and made extraordinary moves. Unfortunately, he failed to play "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy". The latter won another 110 million yuan in a single day, and the cumulative box office exceeded 1.8 billion in 15 days of release. Everyone speculated that the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" should be around 2.5 billion...

Lu Xiaoran posted two Weibo posts, the first one was to thank the audience:

The movie was released for half a month and had a box office of 1.8 billion, breaking a series of records. Thanks to the audience...

"Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" is a work that I have been preparing for for a long time. During this period, I read a lot of historical records. Later, I overturned my original idea - to make a work that conforms to historical materials according to the records, and make a simple commercial popcorn movie. Therefore, apart from the weapons being carefully studied, many things are exaggerated.

Many people call it a "magic drama"...

I want to make a small explanation for this, why is it a magic drama? From the beginning, we promoted it as a "re-interpretation of legendary stories", and never said that we should build it according to the original story!

The second article is about variety shows and movies...

"The "big movies" derived from variety shows cannot be called movies, they are just disguised paid TV programs screened in cinemas. Why do free TV programs need to be put into cinemas?"

"Variety shows can meet the entertainment needs of the audience, allowing the audience to spend dozens of dollars to have fun in the cinema, and the producer can easily make profits. Why not? In the current film market in China, the existence of this phenomenon is normal, but this does not mean that this should be the future development trend of Chinese films. If no filmmaker stands up and opposes, that is the real sadness."

"Of course I admit that the quality of many bad movies is not as good as documentaries like "Dad, Where to Go", but in the impetuous environment of China, the success of low-cost variety shows will only make it more difficult for those high-cost excellent commercial blockbusters to be produced? Blockbusters under the Hollywood model also require money and require long-term investment. Real fine products such as "Avatar", "Lord of the Rings", and "Frozen" have taken many years to create."

"If you invest millions, "Where Are We Going, Dad" created in less than a week can earn 300 million yuan in box office, how can investors have the motivation to support special effects blockbusters that invest hundreds of millions of yuan but even have risks in making a return?"

"Okay, stop here..."
