Chapter 1195 Director, come and give her a hard time(1/2)
Men like to talk a lot while eating, and there is no time to calm down.
If the dinner table is too quiet, it means that the host is not entertaining well.
Today's occasion was no exception. Du Qifeng quickly talked about a script they had been killed off.
"It's like filming something, but it didn't pass the review?" Qian Chen was quite curious.
"With three thief kings as the core of the story, this movie has three characters, written by three screenwriters, and directed by three directors. The three clues develop independently, become independent, but are secretly intertwined, and finally come together. I wrote the script
I've brought it with me, let's see how it goes." Du Qifeng took out the script from his bag, obviously coming prepared.
Qian Chen put down Kuaizi, pulled out a piece of paper to wipe his hands, then took the script and quickly read it.
"This script reminds me of Hitchcock and the MacGuffin." After Qian Chen finished turning it over, he handed it back to the other party and drank a glass of wine before giving his evaluation.
This is a pretty high rating.
Everyone knows Alfred Hitchcock.
McGuffin is not a human being, McGuffin is a human being.
In Hitchcock's films, MacGuffins refer to plots that seem very important at first and are the focus of the characters in the play. As the plot of the story develops, the characters' own loyalty, betrayal, love, and hatred gradually become apparent.
Becoming the focus of the audience, the MacGuffin gradually becomes less important, sometimes even completely unimportant.
Fatty Xi said: "In thrillers, the MacGuffin is usually the chain; in the spy movie, the MacGuffin is usually the document."
Well, to put it simply, the McGuffin is just a "feint", deliberately trying to fool the audience.
The contents of the boss's suitcase in "Pulp Fiction" are never revealed in the movie, so it can be regarded as a MacGuffin.
In this script, the three thieves join forces to cause trouble, which is the MacGuffin; it is a bomb that never explodes and misfires in the end.
"Have you done anything yet?" Du Qifeng was not in the mood to eat or drink.
He hopes to get a breakthrough with Qian Chen, and he also knows that Qian Chen has this ability. It is said that the reason why Ning Hai is so close to Qian Chen is because Qian Chen helped his "No Man's Land" pass the review.
Of course, this is a rumor.
"Let's put it this way," Qian Chen thought for a moment and said, "Good people are extremely good and bad people are extremely bad. This is the melody..."
Everyone nodded in understanding. Although it was a bit one-sided, this sentence really made the point.
"Good people are not that good, and bad people are not that bad. This is true." Qian Chen said again, and others still agreed.
"Good people are extremely bad, bad people are extremely good, and they are either stupid or bad."
When Qian Chen said this, Du Qifeng already understood what Qian Chen was talking about. He was complaining about the plot designed for the character Ye Guohuan.
In this movie, there is not a trace of criticism of a tough gangster and murderous demon. Instead, this image is romanticized, and the silent and rhythmic routine makes the audience sympathize with this strong man and sympathize with his groveling.
, you sympathize with his obstacles at every turn, and even make you feel that it was the failure in starting a business that led Ye Guohuan to the path of crime...
"If I change it, can I go?" Du Qifeng understood that Qian Chen meant rejection.
But he still wanted to get treatment.
Just relying on the market in Xiangjiang, it would be difficult for Galaxy Image to recover its costs if not for its exaggerated cost reduction.
But even so, no one just wants to get back their money.
Galaxy Image and the others are not in love with drinking the northwest wind.
"Didn't they give you a chance to change it?" Qian Chen didn't answer, but asked a rhetorical question.
"Alas~" Du Qifeng understood what Qian Chen meant.
"But if we change it, it will be okay to post casual videos. Lao Wu, do you think we should give the big section of the Internet a more aggressive name?" Qian Chen turned to ask Wu Feng, who was chewing a chicken leg.
Compared with the feast of young roosters, Wu Feng prefers the feast of roasted whole lamb, where the lamb whip is available.
Chicken whip...it's simply unimaginable.
"It's more domineering, it's called Wolf Warrior Cinema." Wu Feng kept saying this about his new movie. Unfortunately, Qian Chen ignored him at all. We will study this matter in the future.
"It would be nice to call it Xichen Cinema." Du Qifeng followed suit and stopped continuing the topic.
Instead, they discussed other things.
The news of the cooperation between Galaxy Image and Qian Chen spread quickly, and it also caused a lot of enthusiasm.
However, the ones who were really shocked were the colleagues in the industry. At the beginning, no one paid much attention to this casual video.
Because Internet University is just an Internet University after all.
However, with the addition of Galaxy Image, everyone has to face up to casual videos and the Internet.
Online universities and theater chains are actually somewhat similar, but the income is not as good as that of theater chains.
Although it can also produce movie tickets, the prices are ridiculously cheap. Currently, theater movie tickets cost about thirty or forty yuan. Only when there is a subsidy, there will be nine movie tickets.
Online universities generally cost between 1 yuan and 10 yuan.
Kiwi usually sets the price of a movie at six yuan, which is the price they consider to be the easiest to make money.
There are as many videos as you want, ranging from one yuan to ten yuan.
Of course, online universities are not without their advantages.
For theatrical movies, you have to go to the cinema. If it’s windy or rainy, or it’s cold or hot, you may not want to go out.
If you are single, you may have to be stuffed with dog food by the couples around you.
You don't always tell people, hello, I'm single, can your girlfriend lend me a kiss?
But the Internet University is different.
You can watch it at home, when you go to work, or when taking the bus or subway.
You can sit and watch, you can lie down and watch.
In short, NetDa’s adaptability is significantly stronger.
But it is not without its flaws. One is that the second and third swipes are free. If you pay a one-time fee, the account will be free for life.
Then there is the one-person-one-ticket policy in theaters, but on the Internet, you can buy one ticket and the whole family can watch it.
Second, online movies are more likely to be pirated.
In recent years, capital has worked together to eliminate many pirated films, which has created a better environment for the film market.
It doesn’t mean that piracy has been eliminated, but it means that we can no longer be as arrogant as before.
When "Zombie Taoist 4" became a hit, a lot of pirated resources were released, and then Zhongchen Film and Television sued all these platforms.
Not only these platforms, but also several search engines that provide access to these platforms have also received letters from lawyers.
Zhongchen Film and Television did not send a lawyer's letter to scare people. It would be useless if they did not sue. They actually submitted a complaint to the relevant court.
If you follow the process, let's mediate first.
Mediation is very easy to mediate, and once you mediate, you will get it right.
Pirate websites pay money to shut down the site - these two are not in conflict, and any server will not work well outside the boiler.
The search engine did not close the site, but it lost more money.
Zhongchen Film and Television sold "Zombie Taoist 4" for a total of more than 10 million, but this wave of harvest made more "loss fees" than sales.
It's not that it's illogical.
As long as the lawyer is strong enough, not only can the defendant be sent in, but the defense lawyer can also solve the problem together.
The judge was trembling on top.
Then, you can no longer see casual videos on the Internet, and there are many pirated videos leaked out.
This has also led to the recent release of several online movies by Yiyi Video that have sold over 10 million yuan.
The cost is only two to three million, and some are even lower.
In addition, the amount drawn by this platform is very small, which is far less than that of theater chains and theaters that directly take away half of the money.
Therefore, someone took aim at this hot cake and came to visit directly.
This time he is not as good as Galaxy Image, but he is still considered a very important figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Wang Jing!
Qian Chen and Wang Jing knew each other. When he won the Academy Award for Best New Actor, Wang Jing was one of the hosts.
At that time, Wang Jing also extended an invitation to Qian Chen for cooperation - in the following years, he actually handed over many notebooks - but Qian Chen looked down upon him.
This guy actually has no shortage of talent, as you can see if you watch "The Nine-Level Sesame Official". It's a pity that he has made some big bad movies in recent years.
Without Zhou Xingxing, Wang Jing would not be able to eat his shit.
He also tried to praise other stars to replace Zhou Xingxing, and even asked Zhou Xingxing to be his co-star, but the reality is very skinny. These works all told people that there is only one Zhou Xingxing.
Over the past few years, he has been content to make bad movies and speculate on his characters to make a living for Hong Kong filmmakers.
His projects have indeed supported many people.
"Let's take a look at your studio. I've been hearing praises from people in the industry all day long. You have to see it with your own eyes to know what it's like." Wang Jing and Qian Chen shook hands.
