Actually I just want to act

Chapter 713
At this time, a person's head stuck out of the car.This is a set made by a boy with a baby face.

Fang Jiming wanted to blackmail him, but when he opened the car door and walked out, he turned out to be a burly man!Well, it was also borrowed to shoot, this baby-faced boy is definitely not so burly, okay!In the original movie, Huang Xiaogui also played the supporting role. Everyone on the earth knows Huang Xiaogui's figure!
In fact, Zhou Xingchi used a lot of this plot in his previous life. The most classic one is the kid who "bears you for a long time" in "Kung Fu", but his baby face is full of muscles.This kind of contrast effect directly makes people laugh.

Needless to say later, the blackmail failed, but he was blackmailed by a trickster for hundreds of dollars. Fang Jiming's teaching failed.

This scene made everyone on the set laugh wildly, shouting that Fang Jiming is a genius.Only Fang Jiming called Zhou Xingchi a genius, and it really was a genius performance!
I have to say, because the extras didn't match the jokes, so this scene was filmed several times, and it finally got Fang Jiming's approval.

But after watching this scene, everyone felt relieved—the box office was stable!

"How do you think Director Fang's head is made, can you think of such a humorous plot?"

"Director Fang is a genius, I'm convinced."

"Following the rhythm of Director Fang, it is absolutely right."

"Why do you say that people can do anything, but I can't do anything, and I can't eat anything?"

"You don't even have to ask, you're a pig!"

"You are the pig, get out!"

……

Everyone in the crew respects Fang Zhiming.

It is possible for a film to become a god, but to truly become an evergreen tree in the film industry, it requires strength.Obviously, Fang Jiming has "strength".No way, his advantage is too great!It's like a martial arts master who knows all the martial arts moves. When fighting, the opponent can't bear it if he uses a move casually.

Fang Jiming is such a master, he has already reached the peak of "comedy" - because he was cheating.But at this stage, domestic comedy has only faltered, and there is no way to compete.However, this is also a boost to domestic comedy, because it is better to have pearls and jade in front of you than to grope blindly, and it depends on whether you can understand the essence.

What is the essence of comedy?
Well, it's very simple, just to make people laugh. As for the connotation, let's wait until you succeed.

Just like Zhou Xingchi's "The King of Comedy", "Ji Gong", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", "Yangtze River No. [-]" and so on, they are all movies with connotations, at least not very pure comedies.Not to mention the later "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", they are all "containing private goods".Can you look at someone else?Guaranteed you are on the street!

why?

Isn't it because Zhou Xingchi has become famous and can be more self-willed!

That is, Zhou Xingchi, let’s change to another director to be self-willed, such as Tsui Hark, who filmed "Journey to the West" and everyone saw it.

So it's right to return to comedy itself, don't care what kind of "shit and shit" you are, just make the audience happy.Want to be a female cousin, and want to set up a memorial archway or something, it doesn't exist.It is basically impossible for you to please both the audience and the professionals.Just like Zhou Xingchi, even though he was very popular in the 90s, he was still called "Bad Boy", and the contempt in his words was obvious.

Fortunately, with the advent of the Internet age, everyone realized that Zhou Xingchi was not easy.

Otherwise, comedians are still looked down upon.

It is also true that many actors and directors do not want to make comedies.But now there is no other way, the market has been laid out, but there is a shortage of excellent comedy films, you can make money if you make them, will you make them or not?
Under the hostage of capital, the director and actors also had to compromise.

But comedy is so magical, if you devote yourself to filming, you may not succeed, let alone you still have a little resistance.This is why most of the recent comedy movies are on the street-the director and the actors are not sincere, can they impress the audience?If it was before, I could still mix up the box office.But now that there is a praise network, there is nothing to hide!

No, many comedy movies are on the market, but only one or two can make money.This is the real big wave washing the sand!

……

At Sun Media Headquarters, Chairman Cao Guangfu asked Li Kaicheng, "I heard that Oriental DreamWorks has started filming a new movie?"

"Yes, one TV series and one movie."

Li Kaicheng lost his temper after being beaten by Fang Jiming, so he has to avoid Fang Jiming in the latest schedule.After all, everyone is not a fool, there is no need to give up the opportunity to make money for the sake of fighting spirit.The total box office of a movie probably has a fixed number. The Chinese people are not rich enough to go to see all the movies when they are released, so they are selective.Therefore, avoiding the most likely to become blockbuster movie schedule, although not maximizing the benefits, but also guaranteed not to lose money!

"We don't care about TV dramas, movies...how do you watch them?"

Cao Guangfu was a little depressed, he could tell that comedy movies are extremely lethal, no genre of movie can do this.Ahem, Cao Guangfu didn't expect this, there is another theme movie that can do it, but it needs an opportunity.Not all main theme movies can pass the review and be released.

Li Kaicheng thought for a while and said, "Fang Jiming can't give up comedy."

"really."

Cao Guangfu sighed, and said: "350 million, this box office is too scary! The most important thing is that its cost is said to be less than 300 million."

Li Kaicheng was a little hesitant to speak, but he still didn't say it in the end.

That's right, the cost of less than 300 million, even including the publicity, is only 500 million, but it can grab nearly [-] times the box office. Such a return on investment at the box office is simply appalling! ! !

"We've experimented, and we probably haven't found a way out yet, so it's a small loss." Cao Guangfu continued, "But we can't do this in our next film, it's a really big production." Yes, this is a film that cannot be missed. Sun Media joined forces with other film companies to invest a total of 4000 million in the production of this big production. The most important thing was to bring in Hollywood companies to invest in the film together, with a total investment of 3000 million US dollars.

Why does Sunshine Media dare to play so big?

Wasn't it because at the beginning of the new century, a Wanwan director made a martial arts movie, which was only released at the domestic box office for 1000 million, but it raked in 21 million US dollars at the box office abroad, which stimulated Hollywood.You know, at that time, although Hollywood had god-level movies with a box office of [-] billion US dollars, they could not be copied, and the box office of ordinary movies was only tens of millions of dollars.Therefore, there is a Hollywood film company that wants to make a martial arts movie with Chinese elements and cool fighting to stimulate the vision of North American audiences.

Thus, there was this movie - "The Assassin King Swordsman" in cooperation with Sunshine Media.
