Chapter 47 The Mystery of the Film and TV Industry
Today is the day when the secret room ghost battle is online.

The platform has been rated before, and it is B grade without accident.In just one day, the charge for the secret room ghost battle exceeded [-].

For the vast majority of B-level movies, this is already a gratifying figure.

The charging period of online movies and platforms is generally about half a year. After half a year, the platform no longer pays the producers for viewing fees, but only pays related advertising fees.

In half a year, the most important thing is the first seven days.

Judging from the current situation, the fee should be hundreds of thousands, and the latter depends on word of mouth.

Li Xianyun knows very well that this film relies on fooling people at the beginning, so the evaluation will not be too high, so don't expect a strong follow-up.

But the comment was beyond his expectations.

In the movie comment area, many people expressed their satisfaction, thinking that the beginning of the film is quite creative, and some scenes have never been seen before.

But there are also some people who criticize angrily, thinking that this is another movie that pretends to deceive the audience's feelings.

Supporting viewers think that the three climax scenes in the opening and closing credits alone are worth the ticket price. After all, it is an online university with limited investment, so how much can you expect?
Opposing audiences think that a movie is a movie, bad is bad, and it has nothing to do with how much you invest.

Some viewers even quarreled directly in the comment area, creating a commotion.

The ratings of online movies are generally poor, and it is rare to see polarized reviews like now.

Jiang Zheng seized the opportunity, quickly created a wave of topics, and constantly moved the highlights to various short video platforms.

The launch of the movie also caused waves in Li Xianyun's circle of friends and online literature.

As an issuer, Li Xianyun definitely needs to advertise in Moments and make publicity.

So all of a sudden, all the friends who I would never see on weekdays all froze.

Congratulations from all walks of life who don't want money come in turn, and the house is full of applause, but unfortunately, few are willing to pay two yuan for the film, most of them are lip service and free.

Then, relatives who were out of touch also appeared, and everyone was surprised why Li Xianyun suddenly made a movie.

In remote villages, relatives from all walks of life poured in to show their concern. Some people didn’t know each other just because they hadn’t contacted each other for a long time. Li Xianyun didn’t even ask, and each of them replied in Mandarin: It’s okay, it’s okay, let’s make do with it. .

After finishing the answer, I still thought: who is it?

I can't think of it for a long time, so I just don't think about it.

The second uncle and sister-in-law who hadn't been in contact for half a year also called, but Li Xianyun just smiled coldly, hung up the phone directly, and didn't even bother to deal with it.

The other party understood and never contacted again.

Even the neighbors are willing to join in the fun, especially those with children who are interested in this career.

The aunt of Li Xianyun's upstairs neighbor came to recommend their daughter—a little girl with freckles.

After being rejected by Li Xianyun, he was still not satisfied, and kept saying that Li Xianyun would not recognize anyone if he was rich.

It's so evil, I didn't know you well before.

There is also a more direct one, asking him if he made a lot of money, Li Xianyun knew what the other party was going to say later, and replied in unison: Lost.

The other party also died of borrowing money.

In the original world, when Li Xianyun made a movie for the first time, he was so annoyed that he didn't want to, so much so that when he made a movie later, he didn't dare to post messages in Moments - indeed, a bunch of messy people came to look for him. You have a big head!

This also proves that Li Xianyun's heart is not hard enough-the old birds with old skin and old faces are only responsible for showing off, so where are they responsible for charity?

In short, making money these days is like having a unique skill, and you have to keep it hidden. If you dare to say that you can earn 100, a group of people will dare to ask you to borrow [-] million.Each of them vowed to pay back the money, and then half of them disappeared, and half of them had no money to pay back.

In the original world, not counting Ren Zhi, Li Xianyun borrowed money three times, totaling [-] yuan, and he has not recovered a penny. Li Xianyun is a shameless person, but he found helplessly that in reality Quite a few people are actually shameless.

On the contrary, it was Ren Zhi. Although this guy cheated money, he miraculously never defaulted on his debts!

How timid!

For him, a court summons is a life-threatening document, so Ming Qian never dared to rely on it.

That's why Li Xianyun dared to lend him money--the only person I dared to lend money to was a scam...and speechless!

In contrast, the congratulations from the online literary world are more sincere.

There is generally no interest involved between the author and the author, and there is no direct competition relationship like reading your novel and not reading my novel, so the friendship is relatively pure, and there are many bosses who earn more than Li Xianyun. Naturally, they will not ask Li Xianyun to borrow money, and fans will only be happy that the author they support has made better results.

Of course, there are also deeper thoughts.

Some readers were worried: "If the prodigal son makes money from making movies, will he stop writing books in the future? If I wish him not to make money, will he be scolded?"

Very good interrogative sentences, which have been unanimously understood.

Some bluntly said: "Prodigal Son, is this your script? It's not very good. It's not as good as your novel. You are not suitable for this line of work."

There is also sarcasm: "Except for the special effects, the movie of The Prodigal Son is average everywhere. I guess it won't make any money. It's too big."

Everyone clamored: "Yes, the prodigal son will be called too big a wave!"

You guys are definitely black fans.

Although Li Xianyun also knew that this book did not perform well due to various reasons, including the cost, and the special environment of the Internet University, but it doesn't mean that it is not suitable for this job, right?Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you really can't.

But Li Xianyun is also used to it.

But more friends still congratulate and support, and at the same time express their concerns about the completion of the current novel.

Li Xianyun has to solemnly declare: This book will be finished in three days.

Then the uproar broke out.

There are even calls for a boycott of prodigal son films.

Li Xianyun couldn't help but sigh because of this: "Sure enough, telling the truth these days is not flattering."

But what really surprised him was the opinions of the insiders.

There is also a chain of discrimination in the film and television industry.

Those who make literary films look down on those who make commercial blockbusters, those who make movies look down on those who make TV dramas, and those who make TV dramas look down on those who make online movies.

No matter from which angle you look at it, online movies belong to the bottom of this circle.

A noteworthy phenomenon is: just the year before last, the film and television revenue of the three major online film and television platforms has exceeded the sum of the income of all domestic TV stations.

In other words, the three major online film and television platforms have now become mainstream media.

But this does not affect the bottom position of online movies-but with the rise of later online movies, online movies have also attracted more and more big names to join.

But even so, there is still a long way to go to truly gain recognition.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, some domestic film critics would not pay attention to online movies at all, and some writers would not comment on these movies at all unless they were paid.

But Ghost War in the Chamber of Secrets is different.

It's so different!

This kind of alternative is not only reflected in the effect gap between the first 6 minutes and the next 10 minutes, but also in the sense of the camera.

The first thing professional filmmakers noticed was that there was something wrong with the film: there was something wrong with the technique he was using.

Why can the female ghost come out of the mirror directly, go around and enter again, without any trace of cutting?
Mirrors are the most common props in movies, and many directors like to use them-because space is the most important part of the picture!
The mirror itself has a special spatial expression, which can form a double space and achieve some special effects. Therefore, there are many masterpieces that use mirrors as props.For example, the Terminator, Farewell My Concubine, etc., are all like this.

In the process of using the mirror, how to hide the camera is a basic skill: the existence of the camera will be reflected in the mirror.

In order to solve this problem, the directors have thought of various methods and techniques, mainly through special cutting.

But Li Xianyun is different. In many shots in his movies, there is no trace of cutting at all, and there is no use of repeated scenes. There is no space for Wia, and the key is to return to the panoramic view... This is outrageous.

Can't imagine how it could be done.

To put it simply: his lens does not rely on existing photography techniques at all.

Therefore, when watching his movies, professionals will wonder a question: How did this shot be shot?

Of course, some shots can be shot by real directors, but it takes a lot of effort to prepare, and generally it can only be done for movies with at least tens of millions of dollars.

You are such a small production, why some shots are so bad, but some shots are of a high standard?
This is like the letter Han Han wrote to Guo Qilin in the cross talk: "My brother Qilin, the words are as good as the face... I am going to have a party, come on."

Yes, that's the tune!

Outrageous!

So contradictory!

It's so jarring!
Under such circumstances, a film that was released for less than half a month did not cause much repercussions in the outside world, but slowly spread in professional circles.

Many film critics, producers, and directors have given their opinions on this film.

Some scolded Li Xianyun for not being able to make movies and burn money blindly; some praised young people for being unconventional, unconventional, and innovative; Bad movie.

As a result, comments from all sides have been raging, and there has been a wave of enthusiasm for this movie, but most people's feedback is: navy.

These days, the trolls on the Internet are so powerful that people don't believe reviews easily.

Considering that lies are sometimes rarer than truths, there are often more people who believe lies than truths.

In short, this movie has aroused some enthusiasm in professional circles, but it has not yet reached the point where Ghost War in the Chamber of Secrets can break through 300 million, and it has not actually caused much repercussions in society.

For Li Xianyun, this is a good thing.

Because he can study his films carefully.

Reviewing is an important way to improve one's level.

With the help of those comments, Li Xianyun seriously reflected on the mistakes he made, and how to solve them if he shoots again next time.

Aside from good and bad reviews, there are others who cast doubt on the film's true cost.

How much did this special effect cost?

Since the post-production of the subtitles was only done by Yisheng Media, Yisheng Media's phone calls were almost ringing during this period of time.

Jiang Zheng was very busy, and he would not refuse any ordinary business, but as long as it involved the special effects business produced by the two ghosts and agencies, he would always indicate that the business was not open to the public for the time being.
