Chapter 786: It’s not good to force others to make things difficult
As film studios use more and more methods, theaters are also tightening their nerves, fearing that they will make mistakes in any link and miss real opportunities to make money.
Once the theater chain determines that there is a problem with the film's trend and that it will be weak in the later period, no matter what the guarantee or the contract, all will be forgotten, and they will quickly turn around without hesitation.
Cutting down on film production, cutting off the number of prime screenings, and even replacing some bad theaters. Theater chains have complete autonomy. What many people outside the industry don't pay attention to is that film production has always been fluid.
Although in many cases, this change is minimal, only a few points, but in today's booming film market, just a few points of difference can make a big difference in the final box office of a movie.
Once the advantage of film scheduling is lost, it will be a disaster for many movies that are not of that high quality.
The final outcome, let alone a huge profit, is pretty good if it doesn't lose any money.
As film investments become larger and larger, the pressure on film studios to repay their capital increases. This pressure will naturally be passed on to the real film creators.
What's more, many well-known directors already own film production companies. Of course, their companies will invest in their own films.
Then, the profit of the movie is closely related to you. Once the performance is not good, you naturally cannot calm down.
Complaining is a basic operation, because the audience is always the one who really determines the box office of a movie. So, if the box office of your movie is not ideal, it can only be the audience's responsibility.
Although abusing the audience cannot increase the box office of the movie, the big directors really can't hold back in the face of box office losses that are losing every minute.
That's money!
That's all my money!
The photo is so good, why don’t you understand how to appreciate it! You idiots!
Go quickly!
Go and see it!
Although it is clear that the directors want box office, there are some problems with their performance level.
I don't understand the cause and effect relationship at all, and I think I am an uncle and can make this money by standing still.
Just to make the audience willing to pay, who does she think he is?
God?
He is obviously praying to the audience for box office, but he still has to act like he is the best in the world.
Naturally, it will arouse the audience's rebellious psychology. The more the director assumes a high profile, the faster the movie's box office will collapse.
Looking at the many movie turmoils in the Internet era, it can be seen that in many cases, directors are not a plus or even a minus for a movie's box office.
An era of pure lagging.
In this era where you can easily find what you said ten years ago with a simple search, every word and deed of ordinary people is often scrutinized by various forces, not to mention well-known directors and actors.
Their various behaviors are basically scrutinized by netizens with magnifying glasses, and they have to be careful almost all the time.
At the critical moment when a new movie is released, you still don’t know how to be cautious in your words and deeds, but you are always ready to criticize when you open your mouth. How can the audience not take up weapons like movie tickets to defend their right to watch movies?
Teach you how to be a good person?
In fact, there is absolutely no need for great directors to make a fuss. The market and the audience will always teach them how to behave.
Although they are not convinced, it is only temporary. As long as you want to continue to hang out in this circle and continue to make movies, then you have to admit that the audience is the only judge.
If you want them to pay for tickets, you have to study their tastes carefully, and don't always stand on the top of the mountain and look down on everything.
Are you not convinced?
no problem!
Then you can continue shooting according to your ideas, no one will stop you. If the shooting is good, you might even be able to get a prize from the three major universities.
Then what?
Once it is not in line with the audience's taste, no matter what award-winning work you are, it will still fail at the box office. The more you struggle, the worse the failure will be. This has been proven repeatedly by many cases, it is obvious.
No director can just watch him keep making one film after another, so in the end, he will either quit the film industry and stop making films.
Or, just turn the boat around and slowly move closer to the subject matter and shooting techniques that interest the audience.
However, what does Hai Ge want to do with this movie?
Wu Di, who was sitting in the car, unconsciously thought of this problem. His own father-in-law, Lao Zhang, was not worried at all.
Compared to Brother Hai, Lao Zhang's blood is still much thicker. What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Three Words and Two Shots is a toy work.
It is an unorthodox challenge, and although it may receive numerous bad reviews, because there are many comedy stars supporting the show, there are probably many people who want to go to the cinema to check it out.
After all, it is human nature to watch the excitement.
Even if word-of-mouth hits the public this time, because the three-word two-shot is too outrageous and has a strong sketch flavor, people will not turn their critical attention to Lao Zhang for his incompetence, and will only criticize him for destroying the Great Wall.
I filmed this movie because I had a brain problem.
And what about Brother Hai?
He is more pitiful. Judging from the public opinion atmosphere, he is not treated as friendly as Lao Zhang. The steamed buns are really hurtful to him.
The quality line he had been operating for many years was almost cut off at once. Although several years have passed, when it comes to steamed buns, it can be said that the bloody storm can be said to have started immediately.
Steamed buns have become Brother Hai's dark history. Wherever he goes, he is dragged along, as if he is a piece of shit that cannot be shaken off.
But if you can't get rid of it, that's it. Don't always take the initiative to carry this piece of shit, but Brother Hai is still a stubborn person.
He refuses to listen to advice and has a natural stress response to steamed buns. He always takes the initiative to bring it up and hand it over to others. This is also a great skill.
What's even more frightening is that Steamed Buns and San Yan Er Pai are definitely not heavyweight works. San Yan Er Pai is just a casual shot of gags.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But as for the steamed buns, although there is a sense of absurdity everywhere, they are the brainchild of Brother Hai.
When filming the steamed buns, Brother Hai's attitude was not unserious. He really regarded the steamed buns as little treasures and took great pains when shooting.
Whether it is the actors in the front office, or even the staff behind the scenes, as well as investors, they have recruited the top forces in all of East Asia.
Being able to put together such a game proves Hai Ge's status in the circle. Everyone respects him and supports him.
Although Brother Hai once said in an interview that a failure is nothing, and steamed buns are just a small mistake.
However, the various symptoms he showed never gave people such a feeling, it was difficult to calm down, it was difficult to calm down.
Being able to assemble such a big plate is enough to prove that Brother Hai was very ambitious about steamed buns at the beginning.
It's a success with good reputation and good box office success.
The most important reason why Brother Hai, who has been on the altar of literary and artistic films for many years, clenches his fists so much and wants to compete is because of Lao Zhang.
Although Lao Zhang and Hai Ge have never been on the same page in terms of their filmmaking style and acting career, and there is actually no conflict between them, but who makes them all belong to the same generation of directors?
As the saying goes, if you are born with excellence, how can you become bright? If there is no Lao Zhang, then Brother Hai can dominate the world alone and be unrivaled.
However, the fact is that Lao Zhang is here, and besides, he became famous earlier than Brother Hai.
Even over the years, the frequency of Hai Ge's masterpieces has been much lower than that of Lao Zhang. First of all, Lao Zhang is much more diligent than Hai Ge. In many years, he has basically maintained the frequency of one film a year or two every three years.
Filming.
This kind of film production rate is incomparable to Hai Ge, but it doesn't matter. After all, Hai Ge prides himself on being an artist. Great artists usually have some quirks and do not pay attention to quick work. Slow and leisurely is the basic principle.
Low productivity is normal.
However, the abnormal point is right here.
Since your Brother Hai's output rate has always been very low, shouldn't you work slowly and carefully?
Aren’t you supposed to make all your movies well and produce masterpieces frequently?
However, everyone has seen the fact that although Lao Zhang's movies are often substandard and criticized by the audience, the audience has always maintained a commendable attitude towards Lao Zhang's movies.
Some people criticize it, but others think it still has merits. How could it possibly be like a one-sided situation where steamed buns are full of saliva?
In the field of literary and artistic films, Hai Ge's honors are not as good as those of Lao Zhang. When he switched to commercial films, it was Lao Zhang who was the first to try it out.
Although the filming techniques and story telling methods seemed not so proficient at the beginning, in an era when big-name directors were still concentrated in the field of literary and artistic films, and when domestic entertainment theaters were still widely occupied by imported films, people like Lao Zhang
It has to be said that a talented person in the industry is able to break into the field of commercial films and carry the banner. It must be said that he is absolutely courageous.
Looking back at Hai Ge, I have to say that he was a little slow when it came to trying commercial films. He only started the steamed bun project after Lao Zhang had already filmed two commercial films.
It's quite like hiding behind the stormtroopers and observing the wind direction. Seeing that the market has opened up and a certain number of moviegoers have formed, Brother Hai rushed out with a huge investment and a strong team!
However, one movie completely brought him back to his original form, and now, the future of Haige's second costume masterpiece doesn't look so bright.
Compared to Three Words and Two Pats, Mengshi Orphans is even more uninteresting to the audience.
As we all know, steamed buns are a costume film. After the steamed buns caused ridicule on the Internet, Brother Hai quickly brought up the Meng's orphans.
This will inevitably cause people to worry about the quality of the finished product of Meng's Orphans. The last time you made a costume movie, your quality was not very good. It has only been a few years, but the scars have healed and the pain has been forgotten?
Is he really good?
Whether it's the market or the audience, everyone will have a wait-and-see attitude towards this movie by Brother Hai.
This kind of wait-and-see is very likely to cause Orphans of Mengs syndrome to not have a good start, and it will not show a kingly demeanor from the beginning and achieve superior box office results.
For such a costume movie that seems to have a very serious theme, the opening advantage is actually very important.
If there is the same movie, one is a period movie and the other is a modern movie, regardless of various off-site factors, most people will actively choose to watch the modern movie.
At least they are close to life and have similar values.
However, three words and two shots are different.
Although looking at the costumes of the actors and the shape of the poster, the audience can probably guess that this is an absurd comedy.
And it is obvious that Sanyan Erpai is still very attractive just by looking at the lineup. First of all, from the perspective of subject matter, comedy has inherent advantages.
Movies are a form of mass entertainment. People go to movies to entertain their bodies and minds. So, no matter how bad a comedy is, there will always be a certain audience.
What's more, it's a work by the well-known director Lao Zhang. Before watching the movie, many viewers will take it for granted that there is always a basic quality.
Looking at the cast, there are not only outstanding comedians like Sister Hong who have become popular in recent years, but also people from the sketch team such as Xiao Jilin.
They are all good at comedy themes, and the works produced by this group of people are enough to attract the attention of a wide audience.
Apart from anything else, in the fierce box office battlefield, the first three days still have an advantage.
In fact, the film competition seems to be about competing with peers, but in fact it still depends on its own quality.
If Meng's Orphans is really a wonderful story, and Hai Ge has managed to get the narrative rhythm right this time, there is no need to worry about its box office.
There will definitely be a lot of spectators coming to support it.
However, since the beginning of this project, it has deviated from the movie itself, competing with netizens, competing with Lao Zhang, and competing with myself. The Orphans of Meng's syndrome is the product of this twisted mentality.
The more you want to shoot pictures in a carefree and unrestrained way, the easier it is to fall into an upward spiral of twisting and tightening.
In order to prevent the movie from being too outrageous, Heige deliberately restrained his poetic prose narrative and shot it in a disciplined manner.
However, Brother Hai is a person with a lot of romantic ideas. If he is not allowed to express them in the movie, he will become uninspired.
Once you follow the regular route, the finished product will have a bland taste, completely different from other directors.
This is also the biggest difference between commercial film directors and literary film directors. If a commercial film is described as neat by the audience, this is actually a very high evaluation, indicating that the work is highly completed. When it is time to lay the groundwork, the details are laid out.
The film is very well done, the sense of suspense is well created, and the final twist is also subtle. A commercial film that can make the audience evaluate it in this way must at least have these few elements.
For a commercial film, if it can have these elements at the same time, it will definitely be a blockbuster film.
A box office of over 100 million is not a problem.
And coincidentally, these are elements that Hai Ge, who is good at shooting literary films, is not good at. Literary films never require neatness.
Because neatness means that the film was shot with craftsmanship and followed a certain film shooting rule, and craftsmanship happens to be what literary films despise the most.
What a literary film is about is a burst of inspiration, and what is needed is the aura of the director and actors. Without this aura, no matter how good a literary film is, the audience will not buy it.
Therefore, it is a difficult thing to let Brother Hai, who is good at literary and artistic films, to shoot commercial films. If you like Bankrupt Star, please collect it: (www.sodu777.net) Bankrupt Star Search Novel Network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet
