This director is very reliable

Chapter 142 Proposal (Fourth Change)

"Eight Stars Hug Happiness", from the name, you can tell that it is definitely a Lunar New Year comedy created by Huang Baiming!

In fact, after "The Strongest Happy Event", Huang Baiming worked on three more Lunar New Year comedies, "Eight Stars Hug Happiness", "Hundred Stars Hotel" and "Six Lucky Events"...

There are very few people who scold the latter three...

why?
Is it because of the quality improvement?
I think too much, it's just that few people pay attention!
Just like Liu Zhenwei, after "A Chinese Journey to the West 3", he directed three films, "The Ball Fight", "Where Are You Going" and "Kung Fu League", and few people scolded them.

Why?The reason is simple, scolding him is helping him increase popularity, and ignoring him is the best response to bad movies.

However, the low box office of "Eight Star Hug Xi" is mainly due to the schedule. It was released in the Spring Festival, and hit "Mission: Impossible 4", "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2"...

Wang Changtian mentioned this film mainly because "Eight Stars Hug Xi" was originally a distribution contract signed with Guangguang. Isn't this because Zhang Zhao switched to LeTV? "Eight Stars Hug Xi" has also become a project of LeTV, and It's the head shot!
Zhang Zhao’s reason for leaving Enlight is clear: he wants to have the right to independently lead Enlight Pictures.

But this is impossible, it is impossible for Lao Wang to give him the film department...

So, we can only part ways.

But they are all brothers fighting the world together, Wang Changtian is still very concerned about Zhang Zhao's actions, "Eight Stars Announcement", he feels that it should not be underestimated.

"Then the movie won't be released until the [-]th. At that time, a bunch of Hollywood blockbusters will work together to suppress it..."

Hearing this, what did Wang Changtian think of: "Have you heard that the share of imported films in Hollywood will double next year!"

Shen Changlin nodded: "I heard!"

"Then have you thought about countermeasures?"

"Continue to make movies...Hollywood is not that scary, audiences will always be tired of aesthetics, at most three to five years, the original routine of Hollywood will not be popular."

Wang Changtian waved his hand: "You haven't experienced the time when Hollywood aggressively entered the mainland, you don't understand how terrible they are!"

Next, Wang Changtian talked about the first Hollywood blockbuster "The Fugitive" introduced in the Mainland.

A blockbuster is a blockbuster, and when it's shot, it's extraordinary.

At that time, the average ticket price of Chinese movies was 6 yuan, and "The Fugitive" sold for 15 yuan.

Although it was only screened in 6 cities including BJ, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin and Zhengzhou, it finally won a box office of 2500 million.

"It has only been released for two weeks...By the way, you know "Titanic", it was released in China on April 1998, 4, with a box office of 30 million yuan, and it has dominated the box office of Chinese movies for 3.6 years. Hollywood is amazing..."

"Don't underestimate yourself. At this stage, the Chinese film market lacks high-quality films. Hollywood films with well-made, mature narratives, and cool special effects are really fresh and attractive. But, in a few years, you will see..."

"Why are you so confident?"

"Because Hollywood has gone collectively to the right!"

The two then discussed from the two values ​​of left and right trends of thought.

The recognized golden age of Hollywood is the 60s ~ 80s!

Under the pressure of Big Brother, Lao Mei has produced excellent works on various themes, and science fiction movies have entered a climax. Looking back now, the idea of ​​science fiction movies was basically finished before the 90s!

Then Reagan came to power and lifted the lid on the American capitalists, and the American financial capitalists entered the fast lane!

Capitalists don’t need to shoot left-wing artists directly in the face to force them to make movies, capitalists just need to spend money on the movies they like to see, anyway, the production cost of a movie is getting higher and higher, small producers The merchants themselves will run out of money.

With the continuous acquisition of capital and the continuous merger of film companies, we will find that those film directors who are so popular with the audience seem to have no work for a long time...

Why does right-wing thinking hold back movies?
Because the right wing must attribute success to the efforts of capitalists themselves, so right wing artists are more subjective, emphasizing subjective initiative, we can live a good life as long as we work hard, don't discuss the world, don't discuss politics!

As long as I think, I work hard, I will get it, syllogism!

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door", "Forrest Gump"...

It looks beautiful at first glance, but you can't always follow such a routine!

Don't touch politics, don't discuss the world, good people want to arrange black people, LGBTQ, really do everything for the Kelley plan!

In everything, love is used to resolve conflicts, and emotions are used to advance the development of the story, so the stories we make up become more and more logically chaotic and outrageous...

By the way, "Miracle" is a typical right-wing ideological work - the entrepreneurial process is basically I think, I work hard, and then I get...

Fumino, what's wrong with you?
It's a bit too contradictory, but that's basically what it means, you guys get it, right?

……

"Look for yourself, the routines of Hollywood blockbusters in recent years have been to save the earth or save mankind, is there anything else? Moreover, the young people who are mainly born in the middle and late 90s and post-00s have lived in various visual In the environment of special effects, I am familiar with those things in blockbuster movies, and if I can’t stimulate them, I don’t have much desire to consume! I have to watch domestic movies in the end!”

"Of course, domestic films also have to live up to expectations..."

Wang Changtian then asked: "Then what would you do if you came to operate Ray?"

"...I will work hard to train new directors."

"How to cultivate?"

Shen Changlin was speechless: "Why do you ask me that?"

"...So do you have any movie plans for this year?"

"'Search' and 'Lost in Thailand'... By the way, there is another movie called "I Am a Witness"...but that movie has to wait for director Cao Baoping to finish filming the TV series in hand."

Cao Baoping is filming "Placing Your Hand Wrongly", and he also invested in this drama to make some money...

"The light is cast!"

Shen Changlin struggled for a while, and then said honestly: "This is a police film, and the starring role is still Shi Shi..."

Wang Changtian was happy: "Are you worried about the poor box office?"

"It's not that I'm worried, it's definitely not going to be very good."

"It's okay, no matter how bad it is, can it compare to "Deadly Heartbeat" and "Sleepwalking"?"

Uh, these two are both projects that Guangguang suffered huge losses this year. One is directed by Zhang Qi, Liang Jiahui + Lin Xilei, and the other is directed by Peng Shun, Li Xinjie + Huo Shiyan + Yang Caini...

The box office of the former was 1200 million, while the latter did not exceed [-] million at all!
The recovered funds are not necessarily enough to pay the film salary.

It is also because of this lesson that Guangguang no longer invests in any thriller films.

Shen Changlin still has confidence in "I Am a Witness" to recover the cost, so he nodded: "Okay, then let's jointly produce this film."

"Then I'll ask Xiaoping to follow up tomorrow..." Wang Changtian continued to ask, "You said "Left Ear" will be a big hit, so can the works of Han Han and Guo Xiaosi, who are as famous as you, be a big hit?"

Needless to say?
Definitely a hit...

But Guo Xiaosi seems to have been bound to Laishi.

"It's hard to say...but I suggest you get in touch."

"I was also in a hurry to go to the doctor... The main reason is that you are not willing to sign a contract with Guangguang..."

"Didn't I sign five film contracts..." Shen Changlin suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Wang, if you really want to sign a director with weight, I have someone to choose."

"Who?"

"Zhang Yimou~"

"Don't be blind..." Wang Changtian suddenly realized something, and swallowed: "Is he going to separate from Zhang Weiping?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "Well... I have definite news!"
