What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 64 Soaring into the sky

The premiere was held at the Poly Theater, Yang Shu and the other three did not participate in the activities such as admission, red carpet photoshoots, etc., and went in directly by the side door, in fact, they just helped fill the seats.

But since there will be a reception later, it is necessary to dress more formally. The two girls are easy to handle, and a decent skirt will do. Yang Shu had to rent a dress.

He originally wanted to take Ning Song to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that he was not in the capital. Chen Jingyun went to Seoul on a business trip and brought him along.

"I've hit the Han River now, and I'm playing Gangnam style here."

"Let's Get Married" includes Li Chen, Zheng Kai, and Jiang Wu as male protagonists, and Gao Yuanyuan, Guo Biting, and Ivy Chen as female protagonists besides Liu Tao.

The director of this movie, Liu Jiang, became famous a few years ago with the TV series "A Beautiful Daughter-in-law". Two years ago, he filmed the TV series version of "Let's Get Married", starring Hai Bo and Gao Yuanyuan. The movie, but the plot is not the same.

Director Liu and Hai Bo are close buddies. Hai Bo joined the movie last year due to a well-known reason, so the movie version changed the male lead, hoping that the successor will be lucky.

The plot of the movie is quite boring. It tells the story of four couples who are about to get married. One week before the wedding, they had various conflicts due to pre-marital fears, and finally reversed the story of happiness.

Similar movies have been made badly in Hollywood a long time ago. It is a very Western story, with various Western customs in dresses and wedding dresses. If you don’t speak Chinese, you will think it was filmed in Japanese and Korean colonies.

However, among similar domestic films, this is still a relatively good one, and Yang Shu has seen many far worse ones.

Angela Bibi, an important member of Running Man, was also at the premiere. Yang Shu had watched "Bride Wars" starring her and Ni Ni. This movie just held a press conference in Beijing yesterday, and it will be aired in the summer in a few months. out.

This movie tells the hilarious story of two girlfriends who grew up together as brothers and sisters, and turned against each other for the perfect wedding in their own minds, fighting wits and courage to tear each other down.

The so-called battle of wits and courage is purely at the level of primary school students. Yang Shu and a few directors and classmates almost vomited at the time.
Douban's score of 4.1 shows that the audience's eyes are on fire, but most of the movies starring Ms. Yang have this score, and the queen of bad movies is not in vain.

Because it was released on Qixi Festival, the movie grossed more than 1 million yuan in the first three days. Fortunately, the audience who tested the drug quickly shouted: "Don't come here, the front is full of shit!", so the box office stopped there.

This kind of work can sell more than 1 million yuan, which is really a kind of harm to the market.

Later, "Let's Get Married" Douban scored 5.9, which also failed, but it didn't look disgusting, at least the director's camera language was still complete, not jumping and splitting.

Liu Tao plays a five-star hotel manager in the film. She is a capable and strong woman, a domineering career woman. Not only is she very strong at work, she is also uncompromising in her private life. She is called the Queen by her boyfriend.

Yang Shu, Liu Man, and Jiang Shiyu sat in the dark theater, being stimulated by the embarrassing plot, they looked at each other from time to time with helpless expressions.

Her Majesty the Queen was unexpectedly pregnant, and it was difficult to choose between having a child and being promoted, so she began to do various things, and had troubles with her boyfriend, but finally recognized her lover's sincerity and the focus of life amidst the anger and destruction.

Liu Man made a summary of the film, which was quite in place: "This film is about four women who die for no reason, and one day they suddenly wake up and stop doing it, so they are happy."

Yang Shu has been thinking about a question during this time, if he will actually make a movie next time, what subject matter will he make?
Of course, making blockbuster movies is the most enjoyable, but there is not so much money, and the studio has no film works, so it may be difficult to attract investment.

If you don't have money, you can't afford to hire celebrities. Now the salary is getting higher and higher. Although the film is much lower than the TV series, it is not something that a small studio can afford with a small investment.

The salary is directly proportional to the box office appeal. For example, Liu Tao's TV series is 8000 million, and a movie like "Let's Get Married" is only 800 million, which is relatively low.

As far as this relatively low 800 million is concerned, Yang Shu doesn't dare to think about it at the moment.

Now there are not many actors who can take everything in film and television. Actors with movie box office appeal such as Ge You, Wu Jing, Jiang Wen, Huang Bo, Tony Leung, etc. are all paid 3000 million yuan, and they basically don't take TV dramas.

Hu Ge, Sun Li, and Jin Dong, who mainly focus on TV dramas, receive more than 8000 million yuan for a TV series, but basically do not receive movies.

Sun Honglei, Feng Shaofeng, and Zhou Xun take all film and television. Movies usually receive 500 million, and TV series are also 8000 million.

The price of some traffic stars is about the same level, or even higher. For example, fresh meat like Li Yifeng, Lu Han, and Yang Yang costs 500 million yuan for movies and [-] million yuan for TV series.

Yang Shu only wants to earn box office by making real works, and doesn't engage in other messy tricks. Even if "World's Wonderful Events" is a hit, he is unwilling to spend exorbitant salaries to hire stars.

He believes that good scripts and good works can attract audiences. Stars do have appeal, but they are just icing on the cake.

Therefore, Yang Shu's future movies will still focus on praising his own people. If you can't afford stars, you can make stars. You should not forget your original intention and continue to praise Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu.

And the most suitable for two girls, I am afraid it is a movie about love.

As long as no stars are invited, the investment in love themes is not large. Although it is a major field of film, there are very few well-made works in China, and it is relatively easy to shine.

It is unrealistic for Yang Shu to make crime movies, gunfight movies or comedy movies now. Among the other themes, only love is easy to move people's hearts, so he can't make horror movies.

At present, the mainland market is growing rapidly. No matter what the subject matter is, as long as it becomes a blockbuster, it usually has a box office of hundreds of millions, and the rate of return of romance films is the largest.

Participating in this premiere, the biggest gain for Yangshu is to further see the shortcomings of the market. After years of development, a group of stars actually produced this kind of thing. It seems that the industry has not realized the true meaning of love movies. .

Yang Shu may not have understood it, but he knows that someone has understood it, so the next big task is to find a love movie that is suitable for Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu, and then write it out. Once the conditions are ripe, it will start shooting and enter the film market.

Before coming here, Liu Tao said that at the reception after the premiere, he could continue to find someone to shoot skewers for "Wonderful World Events", but he did not do so in the end.

At the reception, the clothes were full of fragrance, and everyone was chatting and farting in groups of three or five. They were all using this occasion to communicate and meet new friends. It was obviously inappropriate to suddenly get people into a corner to shoot a video.

Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu still stood out among the beauties like clouds, and people including Zheng Kai, Du Jiang, Han Geng and others came over to strike up a conversation, but Yang Shu was often left alone with nothing to do.

This is not a problem for the slim little Baiyang. At first glance, there are still other beauties who can stimulate hormones. He is especially interested in the fair-skinned and beautiful Gu Li Nazha and Wang Likun.

But every time he wants to leave and come over, the busy Liu Man or Jiang Shiyu will appear in front of him: "Where do you want to go?"

"Just take a stroll and find someone to chat with."

"Or don't, just stay here with me, don't get lost."

In the end, he chatted with Depressed Qin who was drinking in the corner for a while, and was educated by her rambunctious words, which roughly meant: "Although you are still young, don't think wildly, treat Manman better."

Yang Shu reminded her more than once: "Sister Qin, she and I are not a couple, we are business partners."

Sister Qin drank a little too much, and didn't listen to the explanation: "You are a director, and you should be more sophisticated in your ways of the world. Do you think a girl will follow you to start a business because she likes you?"

It's hard to say, the logic is not strict enough, Yang Shu originally wanted to bring Jiang Shiyu out to prove it, but after thinking about it, forget it, don't make it more complicated.

The reception ended after ten o'clock, but some people who were excited about the fun were still unsatisfied. Deng Chao, a fellow from Nanchang, proposed to continue in a different place. Zheng Kai, Gu Li Nazha and others responded positively, so they also invited Liu Tao and his group.

Liu Tao quickly agreed. She is a very playful person. Since Qin Hailu and Qin Hailu have arranged for the baby to come out today, of course they will be crazy enough to have fun before going home.

So she and Sister Qin also pulled Yang Shu and the other three together: "Let's all sing together, let's wait for the show to start broadcasting at twelve o'clock, and watch "World Wonderful Events" soar into the sky together."
