Chapter 495: Childhood
This industry forum caused great repercussions in the industry.
Remote represents the traditional producer, while Aiqiyi is the representative of the emerging Internet film and television industry.
Within two days, the situation developed into a debate between traditional producers and emerging Internet companies.
Companies led by Bernard, Guangxian, and Wangda have stepped down to support the traditional film industry and started debates with major Internet companies such as Ali, iQiyi, and Goose Factory Video.
The former said that Internet companies do not understand production, and questioned the feasibility of big data thinking in the production industry: "Data can be used as an important reference for delivery, but it cannot reflect the quality of the content."
"According to big data thinking, "Chilling" has almost all the best-selling elements, with the support of top stars, and is also a very popular treasure-hunting adventure, but why does it still fail? "Crazy Stone" uses big data analysis to find out that it is basically a big hit
It can't be sold, but Ning Hao is successful. How to explain this? This is what Internet companies need to think about before entering the film and television industry."
As Wang Wei said, emerging Internet companies are at a disadvantage compared with traditional TV stations and traditional productions.
Therefore, several major Internet companies have tacitly remained silent.
Maybe they are really thinking about the feasibility of Internet thinking in production.
Cheng Yuan was quite surprised after reading the report.
Although this cup was not won by him, it is not important. If the domestic environment can be slightly changed because of this debate, it will be a good thing.
On the closing day of the film festival, Reba came to Shanghai with the crew of "Now You See Me".
In the original time and space, "Now You See Me" was the closing film of the film festival, and only director Louis Leterier and two other producers attended the red carpet.
But this time it was different. Cheng Lingfeng gave an order: "Give me all those who can go to China, otherwise I will replace them for the second part."
The director, the Four Horsemen, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine appeared at the closing ceremony of the film festival, causing the audience to scream.
There was nothing much to say about the awards ceremony. The 10-year-old Malaysian girl Li Xinqiao became the youngest Golden Goblet Best Actress in history with "The Fight".
Zhang Jiahui won the best actor award and Cheng Yu'an presented it to him.
"Tiny Times" and Guo Jingming won the Movie Channel Media Awards for Best Film and Best New Director.
After the film festival, Cheng Yuan informed Ning Hao: ""No Man's Land" has passed the review and will be released on December 3, no problem."
Ning Hao was overjoyed: "No problem."
Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "You really have to thank Director Zhang for the matter of "No Man's Land". He has been working hard for you."
"When the filming of "Butterfly Love" is completed, I will definitely thank Director Zhang." Ning Hao put a lot of effort into "No Man's Land". When the film was canceled, Ning Hao was depressed for a long time.
After the film festival, "Old Father" and "Tiny Times" were released back to back.
After word-of-mouth fermentation at the film festival and the blessing of the Palme d'Or, "Old Father" was released on Tuesday and achieved good results of 42 million on its first day.
Achieving the best first-day performance for a domestically produced literary film.
The next day, Beijing People's Art Center and Shanghai Theater Arts Center announced almost at the same time:
"The drama of the same name as the Palme d'Or award-winning film "Old Father" will be performed on August 10. Cheng Yu'an serves as the artistic director of the drama."
Renyi sent its own mainstay He Bin as the male lead, while the Magic City version still stars Hong Huang.
"Old Father" was released for two days and made a total of 70 million at the box office. On the third day, "Tiny Times" was released and made 73 million on the first day!
"Old Father" only had a little over 10 million on the day it was sold.
The industry is shocked!
There has been constant controversy before the release of "Tiny Times". Guo Jingming said during the film festival: "I don't want awards, I just want box office."
Needless to say, Guo Jingming is a master of stirring up trouble and a master of marketing.
He knows very well what the audience wants to see.
His various performances on variety shows, including issuing S-cards, are all for marketing, provoking confrontation and heated discussions among netizens, and are all for the sake of ratings.
Do you think he really doesn’t know that traditional directors look down on him?
He knows too much, but he doesn't care.
You know how happy he is when he counts money.
But the treatment of "Tiny Times" is something that no previous bad movies have enjoyed.
Never has a bad movie caused such widespread social discussion.
To say it's bad, from "Ji Ling" to "Xi You Ji" and "Happy Home", to "Fuchun Mountain Residence" and "Fu Chun Detective" which are still in theaters, which one is not bad?
But only "Tiny Times" was completely sprayed.
Because its author is guilty of plagiarism.
With money-worshipping values, lighting from third-rate studios, and sisters fighting each other, "Tiny Times" was flooded with saliva as soon as it was released.
But I still have to say that it is precisely because of Guo Jingming's identity as a novelist that the story of "Little Times" is complete and smooth.
It's not a hodgepodge like "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" where people can't understand what it's talking about.
It was precisely because of this that Yang Mi felt that he was right in choosing "Tiny Times".
There is no desire to return the money to the director like in "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".
Also, Guo Jingming is really willing to spend money. The editorial consultant of "VOGUE" served as the art director for him. The first two films used more than 3,000 sets of famous brands, and the last two films used 7,000 sets of luxury goods.
The high school uniforms are Burberry's haute couture, and the filming locations were Jing'an Ziyuan and Sinan Mansion, the top mansions in Shanghai.
If you want to worship money and be extravagant, just push everything to the extreme.
Including himself, he reflected many years later: "When I was making this movie, I was very immature, so I also made many, many mistakes that I shouldn't have made. But it was also because of such mistakes,
As a result, its style is extremely strong and distinct, and it is difficult for you to recreate those performances and scenes."
As for whether he is sincere or not, viewers can decide for themselves.
But the controversy sparked by "Tiny Times" is real.
Film critics, including directors within the film industry, did not like this drama.
But its results of 140 million in two days are real.
"Tiny Times" is obviously a fan movie, and Guo Jingming's fans are, how should I put it, no less numerous than some first-line stars, and their fighting power is amazing.
When film critics criticized the film's values and unbearably juvenile shooting techniques.
His fans responded one after another: "If you have the ability, you can make one."
"I spent my own money to buy tickets for my youth and my idol. What's wrong with you?"
"You don't like it? Who are you?"
"I burst into tears in the cinema. I thought "Tiny Times" was good. I thought "Old Father" was not good. So I should like it if it won the Palme d'Or?"
Why did you blindly snipe "Old Father"?
With the popularity of "Tiny Times", the happiest person is not the producer, but the Internet manufacturers.
"Tiny Times" is a typical Internet movie in their eyes, and big data accurately analyzes movie-watching groups and their preferences.
These elements are then stacked together to make a movie.
Wouldn’t this be a big hit?
You mean video quality?
Internet manufacturers, who cares about this? Real movie attendance and box office data are here, it’s not enough to make money.
Therefore, I heard that Aiyouteng, including LeTV and other manufacturers, have recently used "Tiny Times" as an example to discuss the feasibility of Internet film and television.
I was actually deceived into investing a large amount of money by them.
