In fact, Ren He has been thinking about combining the two episodes of Moonlight Treasure Box and The Monkey King's Wife into one movie for a long time.
In fact, I don’t blame those who went to the theater to see Moonlight Box to criticize this movie. If you think about it from another person’s perspective, even if Ren He went back to that era to review this movie, he would still think it was a bad movie: the special effects were rubbish and the plot was weak.
, the setting is too suspenseful and too bloody.
There really aren't many reasons to spray it.
But when the great sage marries his wife, it will be completely different. It will be a complete story, and the existence of soul-matching music like the love of his life really makes it an eternal classic.
The original reason for Westward Journey was very simple, it was just because we had to catch up with the Lunar New Year festival, so it became the way it was.
However, for Ren He, he now only wants to create a perfect Westward Journey, and as for the issue of time, he can definitely afford to wait.
Liu Zhenwei is afraid of losing the trust of investors, the crew needs to save money, and the Lunar New Year slot cannot be missed. These are not issues that Ren He will consider. He has neither money nor patience to wait. If he can't catch up with the Lunar New Year slot this year, then next year, next year
No, then the year after next.
Previously, Crazy Stone and No Man's Land did not require too many special effects, so Qinghe Film and Television has always been weak in this aspect. However, this time Journey to the West is different. It itself is an oriental fantasy movie. If the special effects were weak,
The flaws are just too big.
However, when it comes to special effects production, who is the top team in China? Isn’t it Liu Erbao and the others?
Therefore, some outsiders who do not understand the industry comment on why Qinghe Film and Television produces low-budget films. Some people say that this is because Qinghe Film and Television's special effects team is too weak.
But in fact, everyone in the know knows that with Liu Erbao and others joining the team, Qinghe is not weak at all.
Moreover, in most cases on the market, special effects are not done by oneself, but are done by specialized companies, which are expensive.
There are very few companies that can directly support a special effects team. Take Liu Erbao and others as an example. What is the appropriate salary to pay them a month? Tens of millions? Who can afford it?
However, when Liu Erbao first joined the company, Ren He told him that since they became shareholders, the company's special effects production would belong to them... Just get dividends, what kind of salary...
Liu Erbao and others bought shares in the form of a company, not as individuals. What proportion of their shares in Liu Erbao's company is none of Ren He's business. It is said that the shares are divided equally among 12 people.
It's also very weird...
Putting aside these things, the most important thing Ren He and Zhang Ming need to consider is that the combination of two episodes into one will inevitably lead to a doubling of the movie ticket price. In other words, Qinghe group purchase tickets can usually be bought for 28, or
It costs about 45 yuan. When the time comes to watch a movie like Westward Journey, you will have to pay 60 to 90 yuan. Will the audience accept it?
After all, it’s still a question of money. Are you willing to pay more than the usual ticket price to watch Westward Journey?
For Zhang Ming, he realized that if he decided to do this, he would have to face a real problem: If customers pay the bill, there is no need to worry about it. The market will naturally praise Westward Journey to the altar, and even lead to a large number of filmmakers.
Try a long-form movie with a high selling price.
And he, Zhang Ming, is the most direct beneficiary of this altar, gaining both fame and fortune.
But if customers don't buy it, a lot of people will say that Zhang Ming and Qinghe Film and Television are overestimating their capabilities and actually challenge the existing movie ticket prices. They challenge nothing but the inherent market.
However, this problem is much simpler for Ren He. Now Zhang Ming's reputation is here. The first movie since joining Qinghe Film and Television has been a big hit, and then the second No Man's Land will definitely gain a lot of popularity.
Good reviews, this is something that has been confirmed by previous experiences. There is no difference in times or changes in audience tastes. Whatever should become popular at this time will definitely become popular.
Moreover, the no-man's land in this life will definitely enjoy a publicity and development plan that far exceeds that in the previous life because of Qinghe Group.
For the third part, a large part of the audience will go to the cinema to watch Westward Journey, even if it is for word-of-mouth. Ren He said to Director Zhang: "I always think that if only the first part of Westward Journey is released, the word-of-mouth reputation will be lower."
It will have a huge impact. After all, its plot is so thin that it cannot be compared with movies like "Crazy Stone" and "No Man's Land". Maybe some people will say that Director Zhang has exhausted his talents. I don't think it is necessary to do this.
.If the combination of two Westward Journey movies into one really causes it to fail at the box office, I also believe that its future reputation will be worthy of your reputation, Director Zhang. As for the tickets... we have money anyway."
Zhang Ming was instantly happy. He always felt that every time Ren He said that he was rich, there was an inexplicable meaning. When others said this, he might think that this person was showing off his wealth or had a nouveau riche mentality.
However, Ren He always makes people feel that he is different. This is a unique temperament of this young man.
People say that only three generations of wealth can cultivate a gentleman. Ren He is not a gentleman, but his attitude towards money makes Director Zhang feel more comfortable with him than those so-called gentlemen.
Later, Zhang Ming thought about it, maybe it was because Ren He's family had always been a scholarly family, and with the Luo He Group around, Ren He had never been short of money.
If Ren He knew about this idea, he would probably be a little dumbfounded. My mother used to control the economy when she was a child to prevent thieves! Ren's mother's classic theory is: When a boy is short of money, he either falls in love early or goes to an Internet cafe or doesn't learn well...
…
After this moral high ground was occupied, Ren He felt guilty when asking for pocket money when he was in school...
Zhang Ming remained silent, obviously also considering the issue of reputation. He may not want fame or fortune, but to the extent that the film has been made, word-of-mouth cannot be ignored. It represents the audience's recognition of the film and the director's ability.
recognition, recognition of the storyline.
He has directly read the scripts of the two parts, so he thinks Westward Journey will be a good movie. However, if it is actually divided into the first and second parts, he has to admit that what Ren He said is right, only Moonlight Treasure Box
If so, it is indeed a bad movie with a pale plot.
Ren He took a sip of water and waited quietly for Zhang Ming's decision. He also had to respect the director's ideas. The artistic achievements of people like Zhang Ming cannot be measured by their own money.
Zhang Ming's frown suddenly relaxed and he smiled at Ren He: "Two parts in one, let's bet!"
