Wang Haidong has not been in a good mood recently. When he originally wrote this script, he issued a military order to his boss, saying that the box office of this movie must reach 1 billion. But now two weeks have passed, and the box office is still hovering around 100 million.
In the film market of Great China, there are countless high-quality films with a box office of over 1 billion, which is not surprising. When you reach this level, it at least proves that you are a capable director.
Why Ren Zhong is famous is because he has one movie with a box office of over 1 billion. Although there is only one movie, there is no doubt that Ren Zhong is a capable director.
Wang Haidong was once lucky enough to reach over one billion, which was his first movie. He thought it was his asxs, but who knew it was the peak. Because the asxs was very high, Wang Haidong was paid heavily by a media company to hire an exclusive director, and
Every movie is made with a lot of money. It can be said that every movie by Wang Haidong is a big production.
For example, "War Song" has a total investment of 100 million. Because it invited the heavyweight actor Li Long and also invited a well-known foreign movie star to work with it, I hope this movie can achieve good results in China.
He thought that no one's movies from the same period would have an impact on his ranking. Even the youth movie Ren Zhongzhong was just a little troublesome.
But obviously, Wang Haidong was wrong.
The narrative structure of the movie "Green Days" is much smoother, and it is in line with the aesthetics of domestic audiences. It has already earned nearly 200 million in box office within half a month of its release, and it is expected that the box office will reach more than 300 million. It is definitely profitable.
But Zhan Ge barely reached 100 million. From an investment point of view, it was definitely a loss.
I originally thought that the first and second box office hits in the same batch would be born in "Green Days" and "War Hymn". Everyone thought so, but only three days after the movie was released, a dark horse rushed forward.
At this moment, Wang Haidong is in his office, looking at the box office data in front of him.
The green years of the original No. 1 movie have long been thrown away, and the original dark horse "Buried Alive" has reached the top, with a box office of 380 million. It is expected that by the end of this month, the box office of Buried Alive will reach 100 million. For a company that only invested 1 million
The movie, without hesitation, is 100% dark horse.
"Director Wang, why are you so worried?" asked a friend next to him.
Wang Haidong took out his cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "A small-budget film by a director I don't know suddenly became the number one box office success."
"What's the point? It's only over 300 million in half a month, and it's not a good movie." said a friend next to me.
"You don't understand, because you are not from our circle. Movies that are well-known to the outside world, regardless of their quality, will be very good at the box office, but only a few of those movies are produced every year, but they are reviewed and sent to the cinema every year.
There are thousands of films in the industry. How many of them are really well-known by outsiders? But we insiders only pay attention to those films that have not made it out of the industry. And this movie, Buried Alive, should logically be out of the industry.
Circled." Wang Haidong took a deep breath of smoke.
"Director Wang, your film itself does not conform to domestic aesthetics. You can't just look at the domestic box office. Hasn't your overseas box office already reached 300 million?"
Why is it that Wang Haidong's movies have always been very poor at the domestic box office, but the company still invests heavily in him? Because his movies still make money, but it's not domestic money.
But Wang Haidong has always had a wish. The reputation of his movies has not been very good in China. He wants to make a movie that is both well-received and popular in China.
"Chief director, Chu Han! Even Ren Zhong has gone to work for him as an assistant director. Who is he?" On the computer screen in front of Wang Haidong, the ending of the movie "Buried Alive" was playing, with a series of subtitles being read from bottom to top.
Swimming.
Ordinary people can't watch Buried Alive online because the movie is currently in theaters, but Wang Haidong has a way to get the original copy, but he is also a filmmaker, and he only gets the original copy to see what's good about this movie, so he won't have anything to do with it.
If you leak this movie, wouldn't you be ruining your own job?
"Director Wang, why don't you also make a youth romance film? Young people in China really like these."
"What's so good about youth romance movies? The romance is embarrassing and rubbish. Who would watch it except young people with undeveloped minds?" Wang Haidong said angrily.
A director with a large-scale narrative style like him will definitely look down on small-scale narratives, and romance movies can be extremely embarrassing if you are not careful. However, that kind of embarrassing plot can also make many little girls
He was so excited that he couldn't figure out why these plots made girls crazy, a bunch of brats with long hair and short knowledge.
The friend next to me didn’t know what to say, so she took out her phone and started scanning the scarves.
"Director Wang, you have been attacked by Aite again."
"I have more people in Aite every day, who are you talking about?"
"Ren Zhong, that guy also posted a screenshot of the box office chart below, probably just to disgust you."
When Wang Haidong heard this, he immediately became furious: "This is a heavy responsibility, and it's never-ending, right?"
But Wang Haidong forgot that he was the one who initiated this incident, and now he complains endlessly.
Feeling angry, he was naturally unwilling to admit defeat and directly replied: "Youth romance movies are just for little girls. They don't have any deep connotations. It's impossible to make such films with deep connotations. Even the simplest youth in the green years can't be filmed."
It wasn’t filmed, the whole thing was just two little kids falling in love, what the hell!”
Although he was very angry, his words were not too harsh. After all, there are many people who like to watch youth romance movies. If he angered that huge group of people, Wang Haidong's reputation in the country might be ruined.
After a while, various replies and comments began to appear below Wang Haidong's blog post. The content was mixed, good and bad. As long as what he said was not extreme, it would not arouse everyone's siege, and some straight men would also come to echo it.
Just leave a message: "Lao Wang is right, I haven't liked watching youth romance movies since I was a child, they don't have any depth." People who just leave a message are basically men. And just leave a message: "I just like watching romance movies, what does it have to do with you? Just film it.
Go to your movie!" The ones who were all women.
Ren Zhong also left a message below: "Incompetent and furious."
To be honest, these four words made Wang Haidong even more angry, so he couldn't help but reply: "Am I wrong? Is there anyone in China who can make a youth film that is profound and truly moves people from the bottom of their hearts?
?I have been in this industry for decades and I haven’t seen one yet!”
Ren Zhong has stalled, and more and more people are supporting Wang Haidong. This is a carnival for straight men.
Until below, an account called Honghuo Media Co., Ltd. commented a sentence. This sentence did not attract the attention of any fans, but it attracted the attention of Wang Haidong.
"Yes, I'll take a picture for you to see." That account said.
