Light and shadow player

Chapter 491 Xiao Zhao
The market's expectation for "Accomplice" before the screening is to wait and see - a conservative 2 million, and it is expected to exceed 3 million - the combination of Zhang Jiahui + Guo Fucheng is favored by theater managers.

But the actual results are really shocking. The first day is 500 million, and the first day is Saturday!

In the two days of the weekend, it could break through 1.3 million - "To Youth" in the same period has already reached [-] million!

LeEco felt that it was the remote suppression that caused this situation.

"To Youth" and "Accomplice" were released at the same time, and Golden Harvest Cinemas deliberately reduced the schedule of "Accomplice".

The co-star Jiang Yiyan called her best friend Liu Yifei who was filming in Canada to complain, and wanted to ask her to talk to Cheng Yuan and let "Accomplice" go.

After hearing Jiang Yiyan's cry, Liu Yifei first agreed to ask for her, but after asking, she found out that Golden Harvest didn't cut the film at all, and the real situation is that no one bought tickets for "Accomplice".

Besides, Golden Harvest's current market share is outside the top 10, how can it have such a great energy to suppress a blockbuster that "should be a blockbuster" like this.

So she replied to Jiang Yiyan like this: "Come on, the company really didn't press the schedule of "Accomplice", you have time to go to the cinema and see how many people bought tickets. Don't say anything, I'm going to be in the show. "

The box office of "To Youth" continued to rise. When "Iron Man 3" was released on May 2st, the box office successfully reached 5 million, fulfilling the minimum expected task. "Accomplice" won 1740 million box office in [-] days after its release.

Neither of the two great movie stars could save the film.

LeTV has completely given up on this film.

"Iron Man 3" occupied 80% of the film lineup on the first day, with a box office of 1.4 million, sweeping the market.

But the common problem of Marvel Super British movies is also vividly reflected in this movie-there is no plot, only special effects and a mess.

"The logic, story, complexity, credibility, character creation, and plot tension of the script can only be at forty points. The movie has neither exciting, exciting layers of foreshadowing, the final climax, nor The occasional quiet and warm scenes of the first two films are all done with willfulness and carelessness."

"It starts off well, but slowly falls to the point where it feels hollow, with Iron Man's armor creaking as much as the film's plot."

"Violent, pointless, and self-contradictory storylines, it's only thanks to the hard work of the actors that this money-sucking machine seems interesting."

This is probably why old-school filmmakers such as Martin Sr. don't like Marvel.

And Cheng Yu'an agrees with old Martin's views to a certain extent:

"Marvel is not a movie."

From the producer's point of view, Marvel's global harvest is of course extremely successful.

But from the director's point of view, remote directors are reluctant to admit that the movie should be like this.

"Movies are visual stories, but not just visualized stories." Cheng Yu'an put forward his own point of view, "Marvel movies satisfy the audience's visual experience, but they are separated from the story essence of the movie."

Han Yan is also here: "I went to see it, and except for the special effects, I can't see anything worth learning from."

"Marvel only has technology, and to put it bluntly, in 30 or [-] years, audiences will still watch "The Godfather" and "Shawshank", but they will not watch "Iron Man".

"Just like when we look at "Jurassic Park" 20 years ago, we will feel that its production is very rough. Two or 30 years later, when Marvel's technology is eliminated, the audience will also think its special effects are very ridiculous."

Cheng Yu'an said helplessly: "I don't like this kind of movie, but it appears in the movie theater majestically to harvest the audience's box office. It's really hard to say this kind of thing. I can only say that the audience needs this kind of thing. We make movies Sometimes very passive."

In the final analysis, it is the difference in cultural background. Including Cheng Yu'an, most directors of the remote department received the most orthodox academic education.

The academy teaches them to express the director's own emotions and thinking about the world through film.

Their common idols are Bergman, Kurosawa and Kubrick.

Even if I am making a commercial film now, the desire for expression in my bones is still indelible.

Otherwise, Xu Shanzheng and Su Youpeng would not transition to become directors - they just feel that they still have something to express to the audience.

Otherwise, Ning Hao would not have made "No Man's Land".

"Iron Man 3" grossed 5 million box office in 4 days in the first weekend, and "To Youth" was fermented by the good reputation in the early stage, and under the bombardment of "Iron Man 3", it also gained a lot during the holiday. billion box office.

The film market was killed by "Iron Man 3", not even a long-range opponent, but two flowers bloomed, one for each.

In the TV drama market, there are three major TV dramas that Yuanyuan will broadcast this year, "Legend of Lu Zhen", "Red Sorghum" and "Let's Get Married" - Yuanyuan is shrinking TV dramas.

"Legend of Lu Zhen" will premiere exclusively on Mango Channel on May [-]th.

On the first day of the three-episode simulcast, it reached the top with a rating of 1.133 and ranked first in the ratings at the same time.

Zhao Liying became popular all over the country overnight from an unknown actor.

This drama was customized for Xiao Zhao from a distance—the resource that He Ru, as her manager, forcibly tore from the company.

The main writer is Professor Zhang Wei from Nortel, a very good screenwriter who specializes in TV dramas.

By the way, she is also the screenwriter of "Meng Hua Lu".

Remote immediately followed up and funded the Chinese medicine TV series she has been writing.

After "Legend of Lu Zhen" became popular, He Ru's voice in the company also increased, so she wanted to win film resources for Zhao Liying.

Everyone wants to squeeze into the movie circle.

He Ru and Zhao Liying aimed at the long-distance youth film - "My Girlhood" - the finale of my youth series.

This movie is definitely going to be a hit, and you'd be a fool not to make it.

But He Ru only showed signs of wanting to take the film, and was stopped by the production department.

"Tan Songyun waited for this movie after staying in the company for three years, there is no reason to give it to Zhao Liying."

This is also a problem that companies will inevitably encounter when they grow bigger-in terms of seniority.

One of the unspoken rules of remote filming: play a supporting role first, or stay in the company for two years before considering testing the waters for the protagonist of the movie.

Zhao Liying wants to make a movie right now after a drama has exploded, the management has a hard time convincing other actors to make movies with peace of mind.

But the results of "Legend of Lu Zhen" are real, and the company didn't want to discredit her, so they gave Zhao Liying a copy of "Shan Shan Is Coming".

He also promised that if "Shan Shan Is Coming" gets good grades, he will arrange a movie for her.

"Sister, how's it going?" He Ru came back, and Zhao Liying asked her the result.

He Ru shook his head: "Your foundation in the company is too shallow, and I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the public if I give you a movie.

"But it doesn't matter. "Legend of Lu Zhen" has made a very good start. The company is shrinking TV dramas now. Tong Liya and Wan Qian will switch to movies in the next two years. You can make TV dramas for another two years. Only when you have results can you follow The company made a movie request."

Although Yuan Yuan will now be ranked by seniority, as long as he calms down, he will not worry about not being able to make a movie, nor worry about not being able to get ahead.

Seeing that Xiao Zhao was a bit disappointed, He Ru said, "There are not no movies. If the protagonist can't get a supporting role, the company won't give it up."

Zhao Liying's eyes lit up, she never thought that she would be able to act as a heroine as soon as she appeared in a movie, and she could accept a good supporting role.

He Ru frowned and said, "You know the third part of the "Painted Skin" series, right?"

Zhao Liying nodded. After the end of "Painted Skin 2", the company has been preparing to make a derivative movie based on the world view of Liao Zhai. This is a good cake.

"The Department of Literature is still working on the script. I'll see if I can let you in to play a supporting role like a fox demon."

"Thank you, sister." Since Heru dared to speak out, she was sure that she could accomplish this.
