This director is very reliable

Chapter 299 Discredit? (14)

Save the Cat sums up the Hollywood screenwriting cadence:
Act [-] juncture and then into B story...

In "The Thieves", the so-called B story is the person behind the scene played by Liang Jiahui. He has two identities. One is to help the police, that is, Wang Kai and Jiangsu Ying explain the principle of magic, and the other is to contact behind the scenes. Deng Chao's party is preparing for the second show - stealing [-] million US dollars from the casino!
After a simple cutscene, the plot entered the game segment in about 40 minutes-the four-person group prepared their props in an old house, and some small conflicts broke out...

Originally, Xu Zheng's role was not very convincing to Deng Chao...

And then the second show begins...

Of course, they managed to steal [-] million US dollars...

However, one member of the team was arrested - the character played by Chen Xiao...

Including Liang Jiahui, the person behind the scenes, was also arrested!
What's even more uncomfortable is that because Xu Zheng was dissatisfied with Deng Chao, the trio also fell apart!

This is called the darkest hour...

The protagonist group has been so smooth, what's the point of the movie?
The villain is not strong enough, how exciting is the plot?
Then how to get them back together?
Someone has to die—Liang Jiahui died!

The spiritual mentor of the protagonist group...

One must die, otherwise, how can the protagonist's soul continue?

Xu Zheng found Deng Chao and Nazha. The three rescued Chen Xiao first, then discussed the countermeasures, and ushered in the third gorgeous magic show!

Not only that, but the protagonist spent [-] million dollars in the last show, which exposed Jin Shijie's crimes by the way...

Hundred-dollar bills floating directly from the helicopter, the visual effect of money flying all over the sky is so exciting!
The ending was very positive. Wang Kai was still hesitant and Jiangsu Ying teamed up to arrest Jin Shijie. By the way, the police station received the remaining [-] million US dollars. Wang Kai wanted to hunt them down, but the police chief stopped him with a sentence: "What charges?"Magic? '

"They are unstable factors!"

"Let me tell you, the most unstable and dangerous factor in the world is politics, not a few jugglers!"

With the director, that is, Wu Gang's smile, the movie ends...

It's not over yet, the easter egg part of the scene, Chen Xiao was caught by a group of people, covered his face:
Wu Jingxian said, "Is this the number one magician in the industry?"

Shen Teng showed his face, and answered in doubt: "One of the Four King Kong?"

Rouba answered: "People don't call them the Four King Kongs, but what are they called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which seems to have something to do with the Jade Emperor..."

"What is the Jade Emperor, that is God, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, also known as the Four Horsemen of the End Times, from Chapter 6 of the last book of the New Testament of the Bible, Revelation, which is interpreted traditionally and in modern literary works as the knight on the white horse representing the plague, The rider on the red horse is war, the rider on the black horse is famine, the rider on the gray horse is death...can you read more?"

Bai Jingting pushed his glasses, a little speechless...

Uncovering the black towel covering Chen Xiao's face, the latter asked angrily: "Who are you? Why are you... I'm so stupid, this is the sleepy lock!"

Bai Jingting smiled: "It's nothing, we are just fledglings, and we hope to fight against the famous Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and make a name for ourselves, don't you mind?"

……

Before the broadcast of the Easter Egg, Shen Changlin and Na Zha had already left before the lights of the theater were turned on...

There may be a risk of exposure if you stay any longer!
Faintly heard applause.

Shen Changlin was quite satisfied - it seems that the satisfaction of the first batch of audiences was quite high, and there were all kinds of exclamations of "I'm grass" and "beautiful" throughout the screening.

As expected, after all, with Shen Changlin's viewing angle, I think the effect is quite good!

In fact, he was still a little worried before: the fourth directorial work, big production of special effects, summer file, 1.6 million investment... so many factors added up, he couldn't help but pretend to be calm.

Especially the fourth one, I feel that the number four is a curse--Han Han's "Four Seas" collapsed, and Ning Hao's fourth theatrical film "Golden Heist", including the first "Poetry Master" The four films "The King of Children" are nominated for the Cannes Golden Alarm Clock Award!
Moreover, if you really want to pick faults, you can find many faults - the narrative is a bit rushed, especially Wu Gang's appearance is a bit abrupt, and Wang Kai didn't use it well...

No way, Wang Kai can't be turned into an accomplice, right?
Purely from the point of view of the film, Shen Changlin thinks it can score [-] points...

The visual effect is really good, and it can even be said that it is not weaker than the original version!
"Brother, the movie is really good!"

Nazha suddenly spoke, and Shen Changlin smiled: "...your performance is also great!"

"Then do you think I can go to the next level with this movie?"

Shen Changlin hugged her and kissed her: "I think you can do it!"

"You lied to me again..."

Naza is a little dissatisfied...

It's not that she is incapable of judgment—her sense of presence and dramatic effect in the whole movie are not as good as the policewoman played by Jiangsu Ying...

Shen Changlin told the truth: "Actually, in China, popular TV dramas attract far more fans than movies!"

"I don't know how Zhao Shan planned for you, but I think the most important thing at your current age is to maintain exposure. Whether it's a TV series or a movie, if you have good resources and are the heroine, just take it. Don’t forcefully reject projects that are not bad, the domestic market looks huge, but it’s cruel, and once you say it, it’s gone!”

After a pause, Shen Changlin added: "Your idol Liu Qianqian rejected the TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", so we will not look for her anymore..."

"Didn't you say before that you don't want to act in bad movies!"

"I didn't let you act in a bad movie. I mean, on the premise that the quality is not bad, you have a professional management team to check. For movies, you can ask me, and I will help you check..."

Shen Changlin is very patient. Anyway, it is already past two o'clock in the morning, and he is still idle...

"What about the TV series? Recently, Sister Shan recommended two TV series, "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" and "Four Famous Young Boys"..."

"...I don't have that much time... "Wei Wei" will be broadcast at the end of June, and then you should be able to become a popular little flower..." No, "Four Famous Boys"?
He hurriedly asked, "Who did the male lead of "Four Famous Arrests" look for?"

"It seems that Brother Chen Xiao will lead the starring role..." Nazha said everything he knew: "Brother Yang Yang and Xiaobai will also star in..."

"Is there still one left?"

"...it seems to be Zhu Yilong, Sister Shan is signing him recently..."

Shen Changlin was relieved: "Then you take it!"

"Okay!" Nazha nodded, and then asked, "What about "Gu Jian Qi Tan"?"

"Do you want to play the lead actress?"

"It seems to be the second female lead, and the first female lead is Miss Mi!"

"The second female... Xunfang?"

"Does that character read Xun (xùn)?"

"Then you take it... "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is also produced by our company?"

Nazha nodded: "I heard that it is on the same level as "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", and they are both big productions of S files!"

"...Let the designer help you design an ancient costume!"

Such a great beauty failed to successfully portray Diao Chan. The shape of Nazha in "War God Zhao Zilong" is really hard to describe, and the plastic on the top of the head is speechless!

……

Back in the room, Shen Changlin couldn't fall asleep...

What I think about in my mind is still the market performance of "The Thief", what if it crashes...

By the way, he didn't go to Naza's room to avoid suspicion!
What if someone knocks on the door the next day?
Opening Douban, the comment area is very lively, half of which are "expectation", "Shen Changlin's movie, we must support it" or "first-class visual effects, tight rhythm, this is called a domestic blockbuster. ’, and the other half are ‘Domestic blockbusters, bad movies are scheduled’, ‘The dog is flying in the sky, the ground is full of blood, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" 2.0'...

Why is this so?
There is no need to analyze it, there will definitely be a navy to smear it!
In fact, as far as the country is concerned, the size of the navy in the film industry is not large, because the scale of the mainland film industry is here. In the past, when the 3Q war, Yili vs. Mengniu, the scale of the navy mobilized by the two sides is probably all the navy of domestic films. Adding it up is hard to come by!

Of course, movies have their particularity. As a cultural product, movies basically have no use value, and their consumption value is completely determined by the experience of consumers after watching the movie.

As a fast-moving consumer product in the mass cultural market, the box office of a movie on the first day and the first weekend basically determines its overall box office trend, and it is a one-off sale. return the goods.

Therefore, among the various factors that affect the audience's motivation to buy tickets, the promotional role of "word of mouth" is very important.

In addition, the film has a strong youth culture color, and most of the mainstream consumer groups are heavy Internet users. It is reasonable for the film studio to value the influence of Internet word-of-mouth and box office.

At this stage, word-of-mouth is becoming more and more important to a movie. If you can kill the word-of-mouth of the movie by hiring navy troops in the first place, it will be very uncomfortable for movie promotion...

"The Thief", Shen Changlin's 1.6 million big production, this year's summer, the top works that the theaters are optimistic about, the box office is expected to start at least 10 billion, and countless people are staring at it. If it directly collapses, there will be many people who will take over the vacated positions up!
What's more, Shen Changlin has many conflicts with the Hong Kong and Wanwan circles, and it is a routine routine to hire some sailors to discredit him.

Light also hired a lot of people to do word-of-mouth maintenance, this is a very normal thing, it is impossible not to fight back after being beaten...
