This director is very reliable

Chapter 821 Appointment (23)

Once you put a label on something, it's hard to take it off!
This is called a fixed impression.

Many times when we discuss literary and commercial films, it is no longer the film itself, it is purely a position.

Of course, most of the time it's because our literary films are too rough, and we don't know what we're talking about!
The camera shoots at a nest of ants, and then, the camera shoots at two men and a woman, the two men are fighting, and the heroine is smoking a cigarette indifferently.

The one who loses pulls the heroine out to have a wild relationship—be sure to show off, and shoot the moon for a while.

Two men lay naked on the roof and smoked.

The hostess stared at the two bugs in a daze.

Then, the hostess and the man who won the fight stripped naked, started having sex, and smoked after sex.

On the road to a demolition house construction site, the hostess dragged the box away, and the huge chimneys on the desolate and dilapidated streets were smoking.

One man gave another a cigarette, and they smoked against the wall.

A man exhaled a smoke ring, and the smoke ring slowly spread.

A bird flies across the gray sky.

A tear rolled down the heroine's face.

you know what i mean
I don't know, that must be your problem!

Who will watch this thing?

There are always some people complaining that the market does not give chances to literary films...

I really don't understand why the directors of domestic literary and artistic films are always obsessed with various shots and pictures, and give up the basic narrative.

Literary and artistic films themselves belong to niche films, and literary and artistic films that ignore narrative are even more niche among the niche. Why do you expect the public to pay for it?
Shen Changlin shifted the topic to "Desolate City Chronicle":
"The film "Desolate City" is a typical absurd comedy...When I saw the script, I knew that this film would not be a big hit! Of course, I didn't expect it to be a big hit...I always think that our market should give this There is a certain space for similar movies...so, when Shi Shi gave me the script, I didn't even think about it, and directly agreed to be the producer..."

Shi Shi took up the topic: "Director Xu took the initiative to find me in "The Deserted City" and wanted me to play the leading role... But after I read the script, I felt that I couldn't act... My acting skills are too bad!"

"I think such a good script should not be flawed because of poor acting skills of the actors... So, I recommend it to Qingzi."

Then Kan Qingzi, Chen Xiao and director Xu Xiaoli gave speeches respectively...

……

"The anti-demolition drama in the rural areas of the Republic of China packaged in absurd form, today's name is Jiang Zhongzheng (talking about loyalty), so it is necessary to establish a temple of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame (Li Yilian Temple). The drama does not have much depth. In order to avoid the risk of censorship, it mainly revolves around criticizing the national character. , fell into a cliché. But the mirror movement and the rhythm are calm and atmospheric, and the degree of completion is very high." - Shi Hang;
"Propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are the four dimensions of a country. If the four dimensions are not upheld, the country will perish. Jiang Zhongzheng talked about loyalty, the hall of etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame and Li Yilian's ancestral hall.

Good works can always be seen in the shadow of good works. "Desolate City" has the humble female characters in the old social background in "White Deer Plain", the absurdity of rural black humor in "Donkey Gets Water", and "Killing" in one go The anti-customer-oriented style.Li Yilian died in tears after being force-fed opium, which reminded me of Tian Xiao'e who was forever buried in the earthen cave.Five-star recommendation! "——Zhou Liming;

"The technique is dark enough, bold enough and sharp enough. The director is best at the line drawing of the characters. The brush strokes are strong and thick, so almost all the close-ups of the faces are very chewy. The two words "eating people" are reflected in the darkness throughout the story ", Barren City Ji, what is barren is civilization and human nature."——Tan Fei.

Film critics express their opinions immediately, all kinds of praise...

After all, the public relations fee was charged, and "Desolate City Chronicle" itself is not bad...

Giving good reviews is not considered to be bragging without conscience.

The propaganda department expects these people's remarks to use Ladong tap water to participate in the discussion...

It blows hard, but that's it!
The promotion of "The Gathering at Southern Station" was so fierce that it failed to break the circle...

That's Brother Hu!

Although Chen Xiao is well-known in "The Deserted City", but...he doesn't do much business, doesn't take traffic, acts in a low-key manner, settles himself, and doesn't participate in messy variety shows to consume himself...

I don't even bother to buy hot searches!
pretty good…

Yuan Shikong, he belongs to the type of filming when the money is in place and the time is right, and he will not make other demands with the film crew, and his risk is relatively low, so now there are many scripts looking for him, and the major crews will release news Rob people.

The same is true of this time and space.

Of course, when encountering a good script, I will lower my figure and ask actively...

"Desolate City Chronicle" is like this.

Therefore, the score of 8600 million in the first weekend is not good, but it is not bad, after all, the cost is less than 2000 million!
Including marketing and publicity costs, less than 4000 million...

It is estimated that the total box office should be between 1.5 million and 2 million...

Payback is not a big problem!

But... Shi Shi was a little bit disappointed - after more than a year of busy work, he devoted a lot of effort, and he got a capital guarantee?
Fortunately, word of mouth is not bad, barely save a little face.

……

The movie market in January sucks!
In fact, there are many blockbuster films released, such as "Passengers", "A Star Wars Story", "Arrival"...

But the box office is not so good.

Maybe they are all warming up for the Spring Festival stalls.

The Spring Festival stalls are indeed very hot. After the pre-sales started, the pre-sales on the first day of the Lunar New Year reached 3 million, of which "Journey to the West" and "Havoc in Tianzhu" accounted for [-]%!
Shen Changlin...Including Changlin Film and Television, they don't pay much attention to the Spring Festival file-there are no movies.

"Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" is only a joint production. The main controlling investors of this film are Han Han's own Tingdong Films and Deng Chao's Orange Image...

Other co-producers include Bona, Guomai Culture...

To put it bluntly, Guomai Culture is Lu Jinbo's company, and Lu Jinbo is Han Han's manager...

Shen Changlin is quite confident in "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves"--the most story-telling film in Han Han's movie sequence, after all, "New Distress" is the base!
It's rare that the company didn't compete for the Spring Festival stalls. Shen Changlin is going to take his family on a trip...

Just like the Spring Festival.

Shi Shi agreed, but she wanted to go to Singapore or New Zealand.

Shen Changlin was a little speechless: "Sister, these two are not in the same hemisphere..."

"Then go to New Zealand and get some fresh air!"

"...Okay, I can do whatever I want, you can watch the arrangements..."

Then Shi Shi contacted the assistant and asked her to arrange accommodation...

Shen Changlin continued to read...

He is reading "The Journey of Beauty" recently, a book about the beauty of Chinese culture, which is very interesting.

Only when he was free, he had time to look at these.

While flipping through the pages, Shi Shi came in again: "Chang Lin!"

"…Um?"

"Someone asked us to have dinner together, are you going?"

Shen Changlin didn't even think about it: "No...I want to read a book!"

"...Your honey sister!"

"No sister... Sister Mi?" Shen Changlin's expression changed, then he closed the book and got up: "I happened to have something to ask her, wait for me, I'll change a set of clothes."

"... What do you want to see her for?"

"It's not a big deal. I discussed with Zhao Shan to make a slow variety show. We need a popular star to attract investment..."

Well, excuses are all excuses...

Mainly, Shen Changlin misses her a little...
