Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. Who makes a movie and sells it to theaters, not for money?
In order to get better box office, Zhang Feng not only chose a popular story in the subject matter of the movie, but also carefully roped in two of the most popular little girls on the market to star together.
There is also a plot of two women competing for one man.
It's cliché, but it definitely works.
In the current market, the popularity of these two little girls can be said to be unparalleled, and they are absolutely popular. As long as they appear on the big screen, the box office can be said to be rolling in.
As for the movie "Skin Change", it can actually bring two little girls into one movie at the same time. It can be said that when Zhang Feng thought of this idea, put it into practice, and succeeded, it can be said that the "Skin Change" movie
Movies can make money just lying around.
Zhang Feng's reskin change was an unexpected factor, and it was not what Gu Mei expected at all. Before the reskin change, this year's Spring Festival was not that lively.
After all, the movie Confucius has been in preparation for a long time, and one can tell by looking at the size that it is very large. Some movies that did not have enough investment and quality were not good enough. After learning that Gu Mei's target was the Spring Festival, they all avoided it.
Make way for the Master.
The results of it?
The road was cleared, but the Master encountered a new enemy, a skin-changer who combined the elements of a blockbuster youth movie with the magic of martial arts!
Most of the scenes of the two movies were shot in Hengdian. It can be said that during the filming, Gu Mei was secretly competing with Zhang Feng. She also saw that this junior's goal was to squeeze into the Spring Festival schedule, and she was the same as her.
The old-timers are competing against each other.
Putting aside the movie's lineup and the quality of the movie, there is only one thing that is even more unacceptable, that is, the skin change is so fierce, but its overall cost is still lower than that of Fuzi.
In other words, on the basis of the same box office, the two movies have completely different pressures to make back the money. If you want to make back the money after changing the skin, it is easy.
Not to mention, although there are quite a few big names in the skin-changing industry, the actors' remuneration alone does not consume much money.
Zhen Ge is the biggest one, but he is a guest star. Although his role is not small, in fact, because there is an age difference with the main actor group, his salary is compared to his
There are actually not too many cafe seats, and it is relatively economical and reasonable.
As for the two little buddies, they both became famous and extremely popular, but their real remuneration was not actually that high.
Of course, to the outside world, we still have to say that the sky-high remuneration is all for commercial benefit. Only by raising the remuneration will it look more commercially valuable in the future.
It can be said that in the whole skin-changing movie, the one with the highest salary may be Boss Wu!
Boss Wu himself is still in the dark about this, but in fact, although hiring Boss Wu is definitely a loss-making business, director Zhang Feng is definitely not losing money on this business.
After all, the two million yuan was completely produced and sold by Wu Di. It was all Ms. Lan's own willingness to pay, and it can be counted in the production expenses.
Moreover, because of the invitation to Wu Di, the production costs increased. The most important thing is that as an investor, Ms. Lanmasanti is not very worried about whether the skin change can make back the money.
This is the first starring movie of his own son. He must not fail, he must succeed. Therefore, unlike those later movies, it can be said that Ramashanti spared no effort in changing the skin.
Zhang Feng is really lucky!
Unfortunately, her good life seriously affected Gu Mei's fate.
From the moment it was put into production, this blockbuster movie "Master" has been aiming to win the annual box office championship, and it must achieve good results.
In fact, this is also true.
Judging from the performance on the morning of New Year's Day, The Master's box office is also good, but there is a gap between it and Changing Skin. However, compared to other movies, it can be considered a gap.
However, Gu Mei's ambition must be more than that, what?
Second place?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
What's more, the person in front of the master is actually a skin-changer! And the director of the skin-changer is also a woman!
Even if you lose, you can't lose to Zhang Feng!
This is Gu Mei’s bottom line!
However, it seems that the reality is still very cruel. Although the overall box office performance is still good, and Fuzi still has the ticket price advantage, but after one morning, the entire production team has gradually begun to waver about the box office championship.
Although it has fallen behind now, for many movies, as long as the Spring Festival schedule is still there, a counterattack is very possible, especially when the two movies originally had similar filming rates.
Unfortunately, what is bothering Master now is the difficulty of the so-called counterattack.
"What exactly is the problem?"
This is the first time Gu Mei has seriously discussed this issue after the completion of Fuzi.
Sitting in front of her was none other than Master's producer.
Logically speaking, if you ask the producer about this kind of thing, he won't be able to tell you anything, because in this circle, the producer may not necessarily be an expert in film shooting.
However, Gu Mei is now in a critical condition and has sought medical treatment. She does not want to discuss this issue with so-called professionals, as it will only embarrass herself.
On the contrary, the producer, who is half-assed, is just right.
You can put forward some ideas without poking Gu Mei's lungs.
The producer didn't want to say anything originally. For him, the current box office results are generally satisfactory.
However, Gu Mei did not pursue the issue of box office, but expanded the issue to involve an entire movie.
Then, there are some things you can talk about.
This is what he wanted to say a long time ago, but he has been holding it in his heart until it almost hurts.
"Actually, I think we made a mistake in choosing the protagonist of this movie..." The producer raised his head and said hesitantly.
"Okay, let's talk about publicity!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! You know that she is not a person who can listen to advice, so what can you do?
In fact, this is also his fault. The producer thought that the movie has been filmed and it is a done deal. What is the use of talking about it now?
It will only increase your worries.
All right!
Let’s talk about publicity.
There are indeed problems in this regard.
The producer spread his hands and told the truth: "Our current predicament does not lie with ourselves, but with our competitors."
"Actually, based on the current situation, all the media we can put in for promotion have already been put in, and the content produced is also of relatively high quality. However, the problem is that the promotion over the skin change is simply full of firepower.
Come on, it’s too scary!”
"Not only are they promoting it online, but they are also not relaxing offline. In subway stations and station shopping malls, there are overwhelming advertisements for skin-changing products."
"At the same time, during yesterday's premiere, they also gave away a large number of movie peripheral products. They were all given away and there was no charge."
"This activity is still going on to this day. I heard that the giveaway of peripheral goods for skin reskin will last for a whole day. To be honest, the expense will not be small."
"In addition, I did some research on the first producer of the reskin, which is a company in country a. This is a multinational entertainment company with a large scale, extensive business in country a, and strong strength."
"Previously, this company has not participated in large-scale projects in the mainland. This is the first time we try to change the skin. It can be said that Zhang Feng is really capable of finding this company to participate in investment."
The investment controversy surrounding the movie "Skin Change" was a huge commotion in Hengdian at that time, and basically no one in the industry knew about it.
During that time, although Gu Mei didn't show it on her face, she was still very happy in her heart.
hey-hey……
The matter has become so big that investment has been cut off, or at least filming has to be stopped. In this way, wouldn't the Spring Festival period be the master's world?
Just like it is common sense that everyone knows, in fact, the audiences who go into the cinema are often not so picky.
Whatever movie is shown in the cinema, as long as it is not particularly disgusting, I will try it.
In this case, do you still need to worry about Master’s box office?
No idea, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
In less than a few days, the investment in skin-changing projects continued, and the shooting did not even stop for a day. And this newly introduced investor not only took over the subsequent investment work, but even became more entrenched.
Not only the production of the movie, but also the subsequent publicity can reflect its momentum of spending a lot of money.
And this kind of momentum is definitely something that Master does not possess.
With the support of such investment, what can we do but be full of momentum?
Of course Gu Mei wanted to do this too, but on the one hand, she had underestimated the threat of changing her skin, and even trying to adjust her strategy now was of no avail.
Obviously, judging from the feedback from theaters, theaters are more optimistic about the film "Reskin", and the film schedule for it is slightly more generous than "Fuzi".
The film Changing Skin is aimed at young audiences and strives to attract as many of them into the cinema as possible.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Especially the creative staff of these movies competing for the Spring Festival box office have to carry out various promotional activities non-stop.
Sometimes, in just a seven-day holiday, they have to travel back and forth to three or five provinces and cities to conduct more than a dozen offline activities.
Tired?
Of course I'm tired.
But no matter how tired you are, you must persevere, and no matter how tired you are, you still feel excited. It’s all real money. Once a movie is successful, you will make a lot of money. What’s the point of paying a little more?
Of all the jobs in the world, is there any that is not hard?
However, the income of the film industry far exceeds that of other industries. Thinking of this makes me feel as sweet as honey even if I am tired.
Not to mention, no matter how tired you are, it is only a phase, and you will only be busy for the past few days or three days!
Even in just three days, the ranking of the Spring Festival stalls can be decided!
Although the Spring Festival holiday lasts for seven days, generally speaking, as long as you can suppress your opponent in the first three days, there is little chance that your opponent will come back in the next four days.
"How about it?"
"Have you visited the Master?"
Today's promotional event was moved to the cinema. After driving for a while, Zhang Feng asked. Wu Di had reason to suspect that this question had already been going around in her mind for several times.
"And you?"
These two days, the two of them have been busy without touching the ground. Strictly speaking, it is impossible to have two hours of free time to watch a movie.
Moreover, The Master is now also a theatrical movie. It has been released for less than a day, so there is no online source at all.
If you want to see the real thing, you have to go to the cinema.
However, Wu Di was still able to provide Zhang Feng with very accurate information.
After all, he had already seen it in his previous life, and he also participated in the filming of this movie, so it was clear to what level it was.
