Chapter 784: Some theater producers are pulling the strings
Under such arrogant psychological command, it is very difficult to get these directors to put down their airs and truly realize that the movies they make are not necessarily perfect.
They can't accept the overwhelming criticism from the audience. They can't accept it! When the Internet age has completely arrived, these directors from the pre-Internet era are usually unable to adapt.
Every movie is the hard work of the director. In fact, the directors know the quality of a movie well.
Even more exaggeratedly, sometimes, as soon as filming starts or halfway through filming, you already know the quality of the finished film.
What's more, once you have the script in front of you and read it through, you should have an estimate of what kind of quality the story can achieve.
If you don't have this ability, how can you make movies or be a director?
However, even if the quality of the movie is not good, in an era when traditional media dominates, it is difficult for the audience's criticism to reach the ears of directors directly.
There are certainly voices of criticism, but that criticism is more concentrated in the professional field, and is promoted by film critics or professional newspapers and media.
However, even if newspapers are cheap, commonly used household appliances such as televisions are still in the homes of ordinary people, and their coverage is extremely wide.
However, it is undeniable that these propagandas are mainly one-sided and continuous indoctrination.
The audience sitting in front of the TV mainly passively accepts good and bad publicity. Faced with this publicity, they will of course have their own ideas.
However, in the end, those ideas were only kept in the heart, or evolved into after-dinner conversations, and the method of communication was word of mouth. In this way, the scope must be extremely limited.
In the Internet age, it is obvious that the audience has changed from passive acceptors to active attackers. They have channels to express their opinions. As long as they have a network cable, they can fearlessly express their voices on the Internet.
For a popular art like movies, audience feedback is actually very important. You work hard to make a movie, but in the end, don’t you still have to buy it from the audience?
Aren’t you just making movies for the audience?
This is especially true for movies that go to theaters. If the audience doesn’t buy tickets, why should cinemas show this movie?
Are movie theaters a charity? Specifically to create channels for directors to pursue art?
This is of course impossible.
However, in the past, movie theaters did not have many channels to evaluate whether a movie was good or not. From this perspective, movie theaters in the early stages of commercial movies also tended to take advantage of others.
Many times, having a cast that seems reliable is enough for movie theaters to have a certain preference for the film.
Give this movie a better schedule and better screenings, but in fact, whether a movie can become a blockbuster and allow movie theaters to really make money still depends on the test of the market.
Many times, if a movie does well at the box office, it does not necessarily mean that its quality is high. It may just be that it occupies a better time slot and has more prime time screenings.
During the time period when audiences are happy to watch movies, this is the only movie they can choose from, so naturally they can only watch this movie.
The accumulated box office is, of course, very impressive.
But this is entirely due to the good schedule and has little to do with whether the movie itself is good or not.
Because of this kind of blind arrangement, it is not uncommon for movie theaters to be defrauded by movies. Many films that were initially evaluated as very good quality, but when they were actually released, the audience response was average and the attendance rate was extremely poor, so that they started to be axed within three days.
There are also cases of filming.
Of course, at this time, there are still many escape routes for movie theaters. The box office will always be displayed in real time. Whether the audience likes or dislikes a movie can often be decided in three days.
As long as they make accurate judgments, the cinema can cut off the production with a knife. No matter what international director you are or what huge investment you are, as long as you make my cinema lose money, I will not give you anything good.
Filming.
Reality is so cruel.
So, you can see that the major film producers who have realized this are slowly starting to think of countermeasures.
Before a movie is released, they will go to great lengths to create the atmosphere that this is a blockbuster movie.
Seize some attractive points and promote them vigorously.
In addition, during the golden three days after the movie was released, we will carefully maintain the reputation of the movie. Regarding the comments about the movie, in the early days of the movie's release, you can hardly see any true expressions.
Especially those things related to the real quality of the movie, you can't see it at all, they are all covered up.
Although if you do this, the effect can only last for three days at most, and it will definitely not last long, but it doesn't matter.
For some movies, they are very lucky to be able to get these three days.
The production cost is relatively low in the first place. If it can earn a three-day box office, keep the audience stable and let them enter the cinema, it will be enough to recoup the cost, and maybe even make a small profit.
However, such a thing was relatively easy to accomplish in the pre-internet era. When the Internet era has completely arrived and various new media are extremely developed, and even in an era when everyone can comment on a movie with a smartphone, how can the audience think about it again?
It is no longer so easy to trick people into entering the cinema.
Cover up bad reviews and prevent them from fermenting?
How can it be!
This simply cannot be done!
Everyone has a mobile phone in their hand. As long as they have a mobile phone, they can express their opinions on the APP. Everyone has their own social account, although the influence of ordinary viewers is limited, or they may not affect other people at all.
But as long as they have the conditions to provide feedback, their evaluations can be aggregated into a river.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not to mention three days, in the Internet age, many movies and even theaters have a reputation collapse in one day, and there is basically no need to count on subsequent box office.
For some directors who are confident and ambitious in their films, this is tantamount to a devastating blow.
how can that be possible?
How is this possible?
This is a masterpiece that I have devoted all my efforts to, how could the audience not like it?
No!
The problem is definitely not with me. My movies are works of art. If the audience scolds me, it is of course because they have poor vision, limited appreciation, and cannot eat well.
As a director who is a mother, she naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore her painstaking masterpiece being so boycotted and criticized by the audience.
Under the guidance of extreme rebellious psychology, their output on the Internet will definitely not be able to remain calm.
They want to fight with netizens and make them admit defeat. However, it is obvious that such ideas are very naive.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four feet. How can a little director's jumping feet compete with the vast number of netizens?
The order of magnitude is different.
In the repeated battles with netizens, the creator's mental state naturally became more and more abnormal, and he soon collapsed.
Once this mentality collapses, everything will stop. When faced with a collapsed director, netizens will not put away their sharp words. Instead, they will become braver and braver, treating it as a joke.
It can be seen that in the Internet age, a director with a stable core and a calm mood is very important.
In the Internet age, the level of evaluation of literature and art has been greatly reduced. A large number of netizens regard it as a kind of fun to watch the creators of movies and TV series go crazy.
If you don't look at it, it's in vain. If you look at it, it won't be a loss to them.
As for film directors, they used to be so arrogant and thought that all their works could be remembered in film history.
In an era when the channels for the audience to express their opinions were not smooth, they have been surrounded by honors and applause for too long.
It is simply unimaginable that their movie is actually released in theaters and the audience doesn't really like it that much.
What the audience wants to see is only movies that they can really like. International film festivals, awards such as Golden Bull and Golden Sheep have no impact on them and cannot motivate them to spend money to buy them.
ticket.
They are not superstitious about these things, and the box office results speak for themselves.
Of course, directors jump around and lose control of their emotions. Many times, the background is also very complicated.
Do you think they are fighting solely for art?
No, no, they are all directors who have attracted large investments. How could they have such simple ideas?
Arguing with netizens, jumping crazy, and all kinds of weird and weird rumors that can't be stopped, no matter whether it is in a personal group of friends and relatives or on a public platform, just such emotional output, all these actions are for the sake of box office
.
In other words, it’s real money!
Although, for some movies, as long as they maintain the box office in the first three days, it is considered a victory, but there are not many movies that want to be released after only three days of release.
By current standards, a movie's popular release period is at least about half a month, while its official release period is about two months.
Others can make money at the box office in such a long time, but you will be sent away in three days. Who can be convinced?
As I said before, movie theaters are very practical. They only look at box office results. Everything else is just a reference factor and cannot shake the fundamentals.
Once your movie's box office performance fails, it doesn't take three days, just one day!
In just one day, the cinema will faithfully give you feedback, and this feedback often includes two types.
One way is that your performance is not good enough, but it is not particularly bad, it is just different from the cinema's expectations of you.
Then, the theater chain will also save you some face, and your share of filming will gradually decrease. This is no wonder the theater chain.
In fact, there are always hundreds of movies released in domestic entertainment every year. With so many movies crowded together, theaters always have to arrange them.
Even if it is a movie that is not promising, as long as it can be released in theaters, some filming should be arranged. Even during the Spring Festival period, new movies will be released continuously in about five days on average.
So, if you don't perform well, I'll reduce your filming time. What's wrong with that?
I still have so many new films waiting to be fed!
Besides, more prime-time slots will be given to new films. Who doesn’t need to show off that you are so grand? Do our small-budget films deserve to be unable to even drink the soup?
What if we use our small skills to make a big difference?
A more tragic way of expression makes it more likely that the creators will collectively go crazy.
It only takes a day or two for the film production to be cut in half, from an absolute advantage of 40 to 50 percent to only 20 or even 10 percent. This situation often happens during popular periods when box office competition is fierce.
Appear.
Don't think that people in the theater chain are freeloaders. They pay the most attention to box office results, and at the same time, the data they have is relatively true.
The data they see from the background can best reflect the true level of a movie, and this cannot be changed no matter how much you brag on the Internet.
Therefore, theater chains will always mercilessly give up better screenings and more filming to films with better prospects at the box office.
It's all about making money, not shabby at all.
For film creators, making a film is a big project with a huge investment, and the pressure to return the money is also extraordinary.
Only when the box office performance is good and getting better and better can investors be satisfied and make money.
The audience's evaluation plays an important role in communication between investors and film creators.
In the face of bad movies, the audience can naturally sneer and keep making bad comments. These bad comments may not be eye-catching at first sight, but once a public opinion atmosphere is formed, then a movie, no matter how you continue to dominate it,
No matter how long the schedule is, it will be difficult for you to achieve the high box office you are aiming for.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is a simple question. Audiences are also subjective. They will also take the initiative to search for online word-of-mouth reviews of recently released new movies. Watching the full content
If the screen gets bad reviews, there won’t be so many people foolishly opening their wallets anymore.
If the audience doesn’t buy it, where will the box office come from?
Of course, for bad movies, the audience's vicious tongue is naturally a fatal weapon, completely ruining their dream of harvesting the box office.
However, the audience's spontaneous word-of-mouth publicity has a very significant effect. There are many movies that were not favored by theaters at the beginning. After being officially released, the audience's positive feedback has also achieved very impressive box office results.
.
This is enough to show that the audience's eyes are sharp, they can completely distinguish between good and bad movies, and their various evaluations will not shake this foundation.
Those directors who blindly antagonize netizens and act recklessly seem to have completely forgotten that the audience also spontaneously drives the movie's box office.
For those movies that were not initially favored by theaters, and did not have an advantage in the schedule at the beginning, but finally counterattacked at the box office, isn't it the credit of the audience?
oh!
correct!
The box office money did not go into my own pocket, but went to others. Sure enough, the audience still failed me!
That’s not true!
Therefore, those creators who cry out on the Internet, who even take off the artist's precious mask and argue with netizens, can only do so because they have lost money.
Profits have been lost.
Look, it’s all you hard-to-maintain netizens, so what’s wrong if you don’t like watching?
Can't you just keep your mouths shut? Who allowed you to open your microphone one by one to criticize me?
Although I defrauded you, you can't stop me from continuing to defraud others! If you like Bankrupt Star, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Bankrupt Star Novel Search Network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
