Chapter 63 Beware of Traps (3/5)

Le Pen's "The Moon" is a masterpiece, with two casual excerpts:

“The group will only do two things to add icing on the cake or putting in the wrong hands;”

"Once the hero who was popular with the masses yesterday failed, he would be insulted today. The higher the reputation, the stronger the reaction would be!"

There is another sentence: "We think we are rational, and we think our every move is reasonable. But in fact, most of our daily behaviors are the result of hidden motivations that we cannot understand at all."

Why mention "The Moon" is because the first day of "Fast and Furious 7" box office explosion is largely in line with what "The Moon" describes: Paul Walker died, and many people became his fans...

It directly created an unusual fanatic atmosphere, as if everyone should go to the cinema to watch a movie called "Fast and Furious 7", post a circle of friends to mourn, and forward it casually 'seeyouagain'...

It has become a ritual, and what is meaningful is no longer the movie itself, but the act of "watching movies".

Of course, there is no big production available in nearly a month and a half, which is also one of the main reasons.

As for the fan circle of the "Free Chicken" series, it took Marvel ten years to win more than 2 billion box office in "Avengers III".

Most of the reason is that everyone's feelings come up as soon as the Pauls die!

If Paul hadn't died, "Fast 7" would have been the same as most Hollywood big productions, with a box office of 1 billion yuan!

However, the first-day box office of 390 million is converted into US dollars, which is close to US$55 million!

It's overwhelmed...

"The first day was 390 million, so how much will the final box office be?"

"At least 2 billion...thank you." Lu Xiaoran nodded to the waiter, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked, "What's the matter with you two asking me to come?"

"Do you know "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"?"

“…Ali Film’s project?”

Tangtang was surprised: "You know?"

According to her idea, Lu Xiaoran either films or handles company affairs every day. Where does she have the spare time to pay attention to other projects?

"Nonsense, Ali Films' second main investment work is said to be the first work to apply e-commerce thinking to film production! Everyone wants to see what the finished product looks like and how Lao Ma plays in the movie circle!"

“What was the first work?”

"The Ferryman, produced by Wong Kar-wai, starring Liang Chaowei, Kim Sung-moo, Eason Chan, and Yang Tianbao, and directed by Zhang Jiajia!"

Tangtang looked at Liu Yifei and asked, "...Aren't you optimistic about these two projects?"

Lu Xiaoran: "...I definitely don't look optimistic. If I am optimistic, why should I sell Ali Pictures' stock?"

"Why don't you think it's good?"

"The so-called Internet thinking is user-driven products, which means that we will give whatever the audience needs. For example, they do "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", which does not seek quality, but only to meet the needs of fans. However, fans belong to specific groups, and fan movies are also movies with specific needs. This is contrary to the nature of the movie's mass media. Therefore, with a 90% probability, this movie will be a bad movie unless the director is very good."

Actor Liu hurriedly said, "I just checked it out. The director is Anthony Lamerinara..."

“Is there any work?”

“It’s a special effect…”

"…This movie will be 100% bad movie. I found a foreigner to be the director of a classical fairy movie, or did special effects, are you sick?"

Liu Yifei nodded: "Then I'll push..."

“…Are you looking for a starring role?”

"Um."

"Then I'd better push it, you don't lack good shows!"

Sugar production is a different topic: "Where is the gift?"

"She has been very close to Huace recently. Huace has two major dramas that she wants to star in."

"It's not bad, which two?"

"…I didn't pay much attention, it seems to be adapted from a big IP."

"Don't she make movies?"

"She said there are no good resources to make movies, so it's better to take on TV series..."

The two women started chatting, and Lu Xiaoran simply clicked on his phone to browse Weibo...

A bunch of people on Weibo are commemorating Paul Walker...

There are also a bunch of celebrities who express their opinions, mostly "Salute to the eternal star Paul Walker!" "Paul Walker, starts from the car and ends with the car!"

These guys...

Are you so blatant when riding on the popularity?

Fortunately, I didn’t have face-blind eyes and took Garnett and Jordan’s photo to mourn Kobe. I really want to hit someone when I see such a circle of friends!

Actor Liu and producer Tang were still chatting:

"Shi Shi told me that her current TV series pay can be 45 million!"

“…a TV series?”

“Yes, and after tax!”

“…It’s too exaggerated!”

"It's no exaggeration at all. A drama called "Legend of Red Shadow" asked her and offered a price of 50 million!"

"Has she picked it up?"

"...No, that drama doesn't even have a script, just a plot summary..."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoran finally interrupted: "You are careful when you take on TV series in the future!"

"…What's wrong?"

"Some newcomers are just trying to make a fortune. They first take a script to get the lead, and then take back the script you see for modification, adding 20 episodes to stuff their own people. After it is broadcast, you will know that the series has been changed in a mess!"

Tangtang was surprised: "...No way?"

"No? The price difference between the 40-episode drama and the 60-episode drama is tens of millions. What do you think they dare not do? Of course, ordinary veteran TV series producers do not dare to play like this, so if you cooperate, try to find an acquaintance..."

"Well, I will remind you to give..."

...

At about evening, the couple said goodbye to Liu Yifei and returned home. Then Tangtang was struggling with bouquets...

"Do you like roses or calla lily?"

“…it’s fine.”

"How about arose? Where is the tulip?"

Teacher Lu looked up: "...Didn't you say you are making the decision?"

"But this is our wedding, I want you to join in!"

"…I'll join in too? Will you listen to my opinion?"

"certainly!"

"... Then let's listen to the planners, they are professional!"

Tangtang waved: "You...you go to the study!"

“…”

You said that I would participate, and I gave the most correct opinions, but you didn't listen.

Old Lu got up and walked upstairs very simply...

The lights in the study were still a little dim. Turning on the computer, he dug out the script of "Moshigan Back to Hometown" mentioned by the Big Golden Retriever...

From the first act, this script knows what it tells: the rebellious son Yongji returned from Beijing with his punk head and met his father...

The main line is nothing more than the difference between two generations, the collision of two worlds, and the conflict between two cultures.

The final ending is of course a reconciliation...

In fact, he prepared this movie for himself...
