Thanks to the quality of "Nightclub" and the crazy promotion of Shencheng Music Production Company, the box office continued to rise over the weekend, but on Monday, it suddenly dropped again. After all, this is not a national statutory holiday, and ordinary people have to go to work and go to school.
. However, the reputation has improved, and most of the voices online are praising it.
The films released at the same time were either so bad that the bad audiences wanted to tear the director and actors apart. Or they were incomprehensible, with a lot of lofty concepts and a lot of inexplicable things. Anyway, they were just that.
It doesn't tell the story well. All kinds of bombarding advertisements before the release are just to trick the audience into entering the cinema.
As long as the audience pays, we don’t care about what happens next. This behavior of feeding the audience something and everything has been going on for a long time and has been going on for more than ten years. It is the same routine every year and makes the people very unhappy.
.There are many people who no longer want to eat what they have been fed for so many years.
Audiences who were deceived into the cinema yelled loudly when they came out, and made crazy complaints about certain famous directors on the Internet. Under such circumstances, "Nightclub" is like a dark horse, with word-of-mouth and box office rising, making
Everyone was shocked. Capitalists are the most realistic. If they have good movies, they will definitely schedule more movies. Those with a bad reputation, even if they are big directors and big stars, what about them? It is wrong to hinder making money!
Director Li, who often made bad movies, suddenly gained some fame. He thought he had been wallowing in the mud for a long time and finally came out with his own style. Director Li was sitting at home, and the phone kept ringing, with many people calling.
I wanted to invest in him. Director Li grumbled, neither saying no, nor saying yes. Anyway, his words were ambiguous.
Putting down the phone, Director Li sat in a chair in a daze. Why do you think I suddenly became angry? While he was thinking about it, the phone rang again, and then there was another humming sound. He called several times in a row.
After a phone call, Director Li finally confirmed that he was really popular!
Who am I? What did I do to become famous?
Director Li is also paying close attention to the film "Nightclub". If the results are good, he can get more points. The second young master of the Ye family has always been very generous to the people below him. He knows that this film has a good reputation recently and the box office is also good.
Very good, I originally thought I could get an extra 100,000 yuan after the movie is released, but now it seems that repeating it several times is not a problem!
His wife listened for a long time. When she saw his happy look, she couldn't help but said: "You have achieved results, why don't you call your boss as soon as possible?"
"Yes, yes, I need to make a phone call!"
Director Li first called Ye Er, who was busy. "Dongcidaci" and a woman's voice came from the phone. Ye Laoer grabbed the phone and said loudly: "Old Li, what's the matter? Oh, box office
Ah, the box office is very good. Well, next time I have a good script, I will ask you to shoot it. Don’t worry! What is our friendship? We have known each other for seven or eight years, and you still don’t understand me? There is something going on here. I’ll hang up now.
connect!"
"Crack!"
After hanging up the phone, Director Li felt lost. You said we are all human beings, but Ye Er is so chic, why do you have to face the yellow-faced woman at home all the time?
The wife had a facial mask on her face. When she saw him looking over, she was a little confused and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?"
Director Li smiled slightly and said affectionately: "Thank you for your hard work on weekdays."
The wife snorted and said, "Just work hard and earn more money and come back!"
Well, Director Li couldn't continue acting for a moment. He wiped his feet randomly, put on his slippers, and said, "I'm going to make a few more phone calls."
He walked to the balcony and called the eldest lady of the Lin family. He knew who should be credited with "Nightclub", but he didn't have Chen Cheng's contact information, so he had to call Lin Mengchu. It's the same anyway, isn't it?
"Beep, beep, beep," the phone rang. Lin Mengchu grabbed it and asked: "Hello?"
"Hello, hello, Miss Lin, I am Lao Li!"
"Oh, it's you. What's the matter?"
Director Li stood on the balcony and said with a smile on his face: "Have you heard that the box office trend of "Nightclub" is very good this time? Oh, I heard that, that's right. As for me personally, I am very impressed with Miss Lin and Chen
The role played by Mr. Li in the filming is very clear. It can be said that without the hard work of the two of them, this movie would not have been born. But outsiders think this is the credit of me, Lao Li, how can this be possible?
How about I hold a press conference and make the whole story public. By the way, there are also those storyboards drawn by Mr. Chen, which are just like comics. I think we can find a publishing house to publish them. What do you think?"
It’s really hard for Director Li. He is old enough to be Lin Mengchu’s father, but now he keeps saying “you” and speaks in a skillful and eager manner, as if Lin Mengchu is his father. That’s not really true.
That's right, it's the father who is the sponsor. Middle-aged men have long been smoothed by society, and they are not shabby just by making money on their knees.
"Oh, wait."
Lin Mengchu covered his phone, walked to the kitchen, and shouted to Chen Cheng who was cleaning up inside: "Director Li said that he wanted to hold a press conference, and said that most of the credit for filming "Nightclub" belongs to us. He also said
I want to publish your manuscript, do you want to agree to it?"
While washing the dishes, Chen Cheng said: "That's not necessary. We have put in some effort, but it doesn't seem to play a decisive role. Which of those makeup artists, prop artists, and lighting engineers didn't put in a lot of effort? Just rely on us.
You can't make a work like this. Tell Director Li and reassure him that there will be good scripts in the future and you will consider continuing to cooperate with him."
"Hey, is that what he meant?"
"What else do you think?"
"Oh," Lin Mengchu let go and said to Director Li on the other side of the phone: "Forget about the press conference and publication, it would be a pleasure for us to cooperate this time. If there is a good script in the future, I will still consider cooperating with you.
.”
After hanging up the phone, Director Li felt relaxed all over. To be honest, he was polite to the two young people just for the sake of his boss, and he also had other thoughts in mind. I missed him, Old Li, although
I used to just make bad movies, but I have been in the industry for more than ten years. Why should I listen to a young man's instructions?
But at that time, he had the attitude of fishing, and he was happy and relaxed when he saw that Chen Cheng had even drawn the storyboard. But now it seems that this has turned out to be a good thing. So, a person
Of course, your achievements depend on your own efforts, but you must also consider the process of history!
For some reason, Director Li suddenly felt that his life had been shortened by many seconds, and his luck seemed to have been lost, so he quickly walked into the room, ready to open a few bottles of beer and have a drink, which could be considered a celebration.
"What are you drinking for no reason?"
The wife had cucumber slices on her face, and she looked disgusted. Director Li snorted and said, "You can't drink if you have nothing to do? Let me tell you, this time, we, Mr. Li, are going to be rich!"
"Promote, prosper, you've said it more than a hundred times, but I haven't seen you get prosperous!"
"It's different this time!" Director Li said, "Can the director's affairs be the same?"
After participating in a shooting, Lin Mengchu felt deeply that there were many things he didn't understand, so he spent these days reading at home. One of the greatest benefits of modern society is that knowledge is no longer monopolized by a few people. Most of the knowledge,
As long as you are willing, you can find books to read by yourself.
But generally speaking, it is difficult to gain anything by yourself without a teacher to teach you, or very little. But Lin Mengchu is definitely extraordinary. She recently found that she seems to be smarter than before, and she has almost reached
A level of photographic memory.
After comparing the theory and then watching a movie, you can see various details and what the director wants to express. But how can I put it, some directors like to show off their skills too much, and the long lenses are so long that in the eyes of ordinary audiences
It will feel a little baffling. Some directors are too fond of adding private things, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't give the whole point.
"Well, there are situations like the ones you mentioned, but there is another situation where the directors can't come up with anything interesting, so they have to add private goods."
Chen Cheng had already washed his hands clean and was reading a book. At this time, he raised his head and said: "Whether it's a movie or a TV series, it has the dual nature of entertainment and promotion. It is inevitable to add private goods.
.”
"Well," Lin Mengchu said thoughtfully: "But what kind of private goods should we add into it? Democracy or freedom?"
"It's up to you, you can add whatever you like, but the most important thing is to be interesting. Most people are oppressed by life and can't breathe. Watching movies is just for fun, so comedy can last forever
It’s not bad. When making comedies, just add more laughs, and when you want to stuff some private goods, make a few movies specifically to compete for awards.”
Lin Mengchu thought for a while and said: "How about adding a private product with violent aesthetics?"
"Aesthetics of violence?"
"We can make some hard-core fighting movies. Those martial arts movies nowadays are really ugly. They don't look gorgeous at all. They just stand there in bright clothes and make waves!"
"Martial arts movies have long since declined!"
"It's not necessarily a martial arts movie... By the way, what do you think about us shooting Fist of the North Star?" Lin Mengchu suddenly became energetic and said, "We have shot so many scenes before,
It can be used as a background, which can reduce a lot of post-production work!”
"Um, is the step too big? Fighting like Fist of the North Star requires a lot of special effects, and where can I find a muscular guy like that to be an actor? There doesn't seem to be anyone in China suitable for it, right?"
"If we don't have one in China, we can look for it abroad. Besides, it doesn't have to be professional actors. We can also choose from boxers and wrestlers."
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I have a good idea."
Lin Mengchu tilted his head and said: "I seem to remember you once said that every bad idea will look like a good idea before it turns bad. Is your good idea the kind that hasn't turned bad yet?
