I really can't act

Chapter 302 Did He Change the Rules?
Fang Yi didn't answer him, but went on stage amidst the voices of the audience.As he took the lead, all the other main creators went up one after another. Many young people covered their faces with their hands, and tears of excitement flowed from between their fingers.

Having just watched the movie, the audience still has an impression of the familiar faces in front of them.

Every time a person came up, the cheers from the audience became louder, until the roof was about to be overturned, until everyone could not hear their own voice.One after another, audiences came to the stage to hand flowers to the main creator, and Fang Yi was sure that it was not arranged by himself.

Liu Tianxian is very likable because of the role of Lawyer Yuan. She has received more flowers than Fang Yi, which is several times that of other people except Fang Yi.

Those flowers weighed heavily on her body, and more and more people came, and finally she had to put all the flowers under her feet.Her two hands could not be free, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she could only use the outside of her arms to wipe her face desperately.

She sided Fang Yi vigilantly, paying attention to him at any time, so as not to be seen with her cat face.

Fang Yi got the microphone.

The scene fell silent for a short time.Fang Yi's mood was not as calm as he appeared on the outside, he lost his voice the moment he made a sound, he coughed to cover up, and the movie hall immediately burst into laughter like waves, everyone was waiting for his words.

Jiang Wen pushed his glasses off the stage, the corners of his mouth were pursed, Zhang Mazi rarely showed a warm side.And Chen Kaige was silent, with a complicated expression, he thought of the overwhelming praise when his debut work "Yellow Earth" was released.

He was also a genius director, and Chinese audiences also had goodwill towards him.

So, what would the new genius Fang Yi say?

The result is astonishing.

"Actually, the story structure of the entire movie is relatively old-fashioned. You may not have noticed it when you watched the movie, but we know very well in our hearts when making movies. This is the story structure of a prodigal son's commercial film. It is very classic, very practical, and very old. There is no need to shy away from it..."

The "Report" column team was taken aback. The cameraman thought that Fang Yi was so happy that he lost his head, and asked Tu Jingwei with gestures if he would continue to record.

Tu Jingwei did not object.

"Can you make it more personal? Yes."

"But I want to fall gently."

Fang Yi looked at the audience with no focal length, more like stating to people outside, "Those classic narrative methods may no longer be classic for audiences who have experienced the golden age of Hollywood in the 90s. Vulgar, becoming old-fashioned... Our domestic filmmakers have also been baptized by this concept. Frankly speaking, we do read far more films than ordinary people... so I don't think it's so rare."

"Everyone looks down on Hollywood filming. Everyone has to have a personal style. They have to use strange names to establish a genre for themselves to prove that they are original... Maybe this is why there is a huge gap between creators and audiences. It’s not for the audience to show to the peers. This kind of persistence prevents us from producing more mature commercial films, because we don’t want to make them.”

When he said this, he glanced at the audience below, and he couldn't see anything under the intense lights of the stage, but Fang Yi felt as if he saw a lot of wronged eyes.

Raise the microphone again: "Don't worry about conception and technique now... Do you like this movie?"

There was no answer to him in silence for a moment.

Because as the director, he even said the movie was "old-fashioned" just now.

Even director Fang said that, so I am even more embarrassed to say that I don't like "Farewell My Concubine", I don't like "To Live", and I don't even like most domestic movies... I just like popcorn movies, just I love shit and fart pulp comedy.

But I am embarrassed to say.

Because I'm low-level, and because you are professionals, you control the public opinion and keep saying that you are high-level, but I can't appreciate it, even if you spend money, you are still a garbage audience.

Fang Yi continued to wait without getting an answer, showing an encouraging smile.

One second, two seconds.

Five seconds.

Finally someone uttered the first voice, which was extremely loud in the silent theater, accompanied by a raised hand, like the first lightning that pierced the night sky, "I like it!"

Then came the second sound, "I like it! I like it!"

"Really like!"

"I……"

"I!"

"I like!!!"

There are more and more echoing voices, forming a force to break through the barrier. They mustered up their courage, and the shouts of different timbres merged together:
"I like!"

"I like!"

Upon hearing such a heartfelt voice, the main creators began to feel emotional again. Li Xuejian, who played Lao Yin, also shook his head and covered his face with his hands.

It probably reminds me of my original intention of being a filmmaker.

Now willing to attend the premiere, there are two types of viewers who watch the zero-point show. One is the core fans of the main creation or series of movies, and they will support almost any project they encounter.

The other type is movie lovers who are determined to be cut off from leeks and who are determined to be fooled. China Film once counted this group of people. The original text is as follows:

"Consumers with a monthly income of 1000 to 3000 accounted for a relatively large proportion, reaching 41%. Followed by the no-income group, accounting for 18%."

This group of people is exactly the majority of ordinary people described in "Love Letter". They squeezed out a lot of money at the time, went to the cinema with expectations, and perhaps had a simple idea of ​​supporting domestic products, but they could not gain a satisfactory experience. .

You still have to be preached, "It's your fault, it's because you didn't understand."

——There are more and more "like" answers, and some voices have begun to choke under the emotional infection.

Fang Yi cleared his throat, "As long as you like it, Fang Yi will continue to make movies that you like for a few years."

The microphone is given to other creators.

The host invited by the film studio conducted interviews with them on the spot according to the procedure.And the entire group of "China Film Report" was recorded without missing a single paragraph.

It turns out that you want to promote first and suppress first.

Tu Jingwei temporarily changed his manuscript and ran to conduct random interviews with the audience who had listened to the speech.

Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen originally wanted to discuss techniques with Fang Yi.Director Chen wanted to command Fang Yi twice, and felt that he was a man to be made.Jiang Wen's hands were also itchy, and he planned to shoot an arrow first, and then draw a target.

Chen Kaige said: "The scene of riding from today to yesterday is brilliant, I admire that scene the most, but if it were me, I would..."

Jiang Wen said: "Fang Yi's ending was a bit sloppy. In addition, in the editing, you can repeat the narrative, and you can also think about the lines..."

The two heard passers-by viewers respond to the "Report" column:

"What's your favorite shot? What's a shot... Which part is it? The part about riding a bicycle... It's not like the trees and the changing weather, I didn't understand it at first... I mean, I like that A couple cuddling in a car - because I thought of myself."

"Is it my turn... I like it the most, I like it the most... I like Liu Yifei the most, the last look of her in a dress, she ran to save Director Fang... Because I am not as good as Yin Chuan, and I will not in this life A wife as good as Yuan Lu treats me... But I want to see such a movie, so that I can make up for my regrets and make me happy in my dreams..."

The two directors looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say.Then he smiled wryly.

The "Report" column went to interview Fang Yi again:
"How much can you get at the box office?"

"One or two hundred million? Or more. The ostentation has not yet won the big prize, so I can only say that it will not suffer in the end, but I can't see anything just by watching the zero-point show, because the box office of the zero-point show is determined by the ostentation rate."

"Director Fang, how do you define a youth film. "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" has a box office of more than 1 million yuan. Are you more qualified to interpret youth films than Director Zhang Yimou? He seems to be losing to you, and is The topic he raised."

"We all filmed what we thought we were youth. Maybe Director Zhang failed at the box office, not necessarily his understanding of youth is wrong..."Love Letter"'s youth is also very narrow. People like Yin Chuan and Yuan Zhihua are in our society. The proportion is very small—do migrant workers have youth? What about female workers on the assembly line? How do you define their youth? They don’t even go to high school, but there are hundreds of millions of them, and that’s the youth of others.”

Tu Jingwei laughed, "Is Director Fang trying to take care of the national teacher's face? We were also doing the premiere of the film "The Hawthorn Tree", and the effect at that time was far inferior to yours."

At this time, someone was throwing a doll on the stage—it was the kind of doll that was taken out of the crane machine to pass the time after collecting tickets.

The cost may be a few coins.

Fang Yi picked up the doll and dusted it off, as proud as if he had won an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement, "I have received many honors and awards, and I don't need to surpass others."

He looked at the doll over and over again, held it in his hand and shared it with the audience in front of the camera, feeling a little complacent, "What do you think? Huh?"

Fang Yi was rarely so lively. Everyone was surprised and couldn't help laughing softly.

Tu Jingwei likes his playfulness very much.She was really convinced this time, she patted her chest and said to the camera, "It's really the best answer."

99% of the premieres in China are held in Beijing, but there are not enough people for roadshows in other places.When the premiere was about to end, Fang Yi reached out to the main creators:
"We do what the audience loves."

Li Xuejian's seniority is the oldest, and he even participated in the nonsense, "And me."

Jin Dong loves this kind of occasion the most, grinning loudly, "There's me!"

Fang Yi's classmate Bai Yu was very young, so of course he wouldn't miss it, so he slapped him, "There's me!"

Post them one by one.

The last person was Liu Tianxian. She didn't press on the top, but swung it from the bottom up, stuck it on Fang Yi's palm, and said viciously, "Also! Yes! Me!"

All hands were put down together.

"go ahead!"

The box office of the zero-point show that night reached 180 million, limited by the show rate, which was much worse than "The Great Earthquake", not even half of it.

The highest single game is 11, which is close to "The Great Earthquake".Fang Yi and Liu Tianxian each have a group of core fans who are willing to spend money on them - Liu Tianxian's fans are very simple, male and female.

Fang Yi's fans are very complicated, reflected in extremely complicated horizontal levels.All the monks of Guanghua Temple and more than 300 intellectuals went to the place where Living Buddha Fang gave important instructions. At [-] o'clock in the morning, when they were supposed to get up to knock on the wooden fish and read scriptures, these people were reading "Love Letter".

The monks came out holding skewers one by one, sweating profusely, as if they had just experienced a catastrophe.

As expected of Fang... The movie made by the benefactor, it's a small test of supernatural powers, but it makes people feel uneasy.

When "Love Has an Afterlife" was released last time, there were also strange phenomena of monks booking venues all over the country, so the reporter was not surprised.

Just take pictures of this grand event as news.

Among the intellectuals, there is actually a familiar rich man.

"Mr. Zhang, haven't you participated in the screening? Why are you here again?"

Zhang Chaoyang showed his big teeth, "I'll bring my friend here."

"Is it convenient to disclose?"

"A friend I met in business, he just happened to be interested in these things... I have personally verified the charlatans he knew before, and now I will show him the truth."

"Boss Zhang, walk slowly."

Zhang Jushi jumped into his Koenigsegg ONE, stepped on the floor oil, and emitted a puff of black smoke. He planned to go vegetarian for a while to protect the environment.

Under the optimistic expectations of the previous screening results, the mid-budget film "Love Letter" has an appearance rate of 11.7%, which is almost the same as the 12.3% of "Babel Empire".

This rate is lower than "Love Is After Life", but "Love Is After Life" was in the off-season of the market at that time, and the total number of moviegoers in the market was not as good as three or four quarters of the current one.

On October 2670st, the box office was [-] million.

No. 3000, it can break through [-] million.

The word-of-mouth of "Love Letter" gradually fermented, and the film ranking reversed its momentum, rising all the way to 17.9%.The schedule of films in each city across the country is actually different. Here we can only take a rough figure, but "Babel Empire" was squeezed to less than 9 points, and the daily box office was even more dismal, less than [-] million.

On the day of the 5400rd, the box office difference between the two reached the highest difference in history. "Love Letter" scored 700 million in a single day, setting the second best after "The Great Earthquake", while "Babel Empire" fell to [-] million.

Fang Yi led the main actors, and followed the route of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen for an all-night road show. The "Love Letter" movie has obvious star effects and communication effects, and the effect of the actors' presence on the road show is much better than that of ordinary movies.According to the statistics of China Film, many people were encouraged by Fang Yi's speech and stepped into the cinema for the first time.

up to this point.The film industry finally reacted.

Someone single-handedly used a team that seemed to have been built up during a relatively popular schedule to defeat Hong Kong's star-studded production, which has been in preparation for several years.

Thanks to the likable character, Xianyu Liu hit another peak in popularity, soaring to No.1 in the Du Niang search index within three days, completely ending the previous gap in public recognition of "what has she been doing for the past two years".

But the industry pays more attention to Fang Yi, who controls the field all the way.

Fang Yi has the momentum to dominate the National Day file, and the audience obviously buys him.This matter has fundamentally affected capital's judgment on the existing film market.

Different from the unprecedented blockbuster "The Promise", "Tiantian Empire" is a qualified commercial film on the standard line. It is well-produced and the actors are mainly Hong Kong male stars.

This kind of film should be killed in the schedule.

It may not be possible to pay back the money now.It was so shocking.

There are several possibilities:
[-]. Fang Yi's personal ability is too strong. It is not that the original withdrawal password has changed, but that he has changed the rules, and withdrawals can continue without him.

[-]. Hong Kong stars are generally outdated - this matter has been mentioned many times since Chen Kun acted in "Painted Skin" and Fang Yi acted in "Love Has Afterlife". .

[-]. A new type of movie is being born, and it is very popular with the audience.The old genre films are no longer favored by audiences.

There are also discussions on the answer from the movie screen, the hardware source of the movie market.

——There are two major characteristics in the mainland movie theater market in the past 10 years.

The number of screens is small and the growth rate is fast.

The mainland has a total of 6200 screens, surpassing South Korea. The level of hardware construction severely limits the box office performance of domestic films.

It was also the first movie, and the number of viewers of "The Great Earthquake" finally reached 1800 million, while the box office champion in South Korea won 1300 million people - the population of the mainland is equivalent to 27 times that of South Korea.

The growth rate is the fastest in the world, and the number of screens this year has increased by 15% compared with the same period last year.The current market is not saturated, which means that for a film of the same quality, even if you don’t do anything, the box office will be 15% more than last year when it is screened this year.

"Love Letter" has enjoyed this kind of bonus.

At least that's what the second king of Huaxia Film and Television told investors. "Don't worry, it can't compare to "The Great Earthquake"-the first movie on the market will always be produced by Huaxia Film and Television."

A knowledgeable investor asked: "The production cost of "The Great Earthquake" and "Love Letter" can't be placed in the same arena, right?"

"They are all Chinese movies, why can't they be compared."

"Then what about the global box office? "Love Letter" is indeed overwhelmed in the mainland market, counting Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia? Is it overtaking?"

"We only count the box office in mainland China..."The Great Earthquake" still has an advantage."

"What about "Tongtian Empire"? Since the release of "Love Letter", it has been cut in half... No, no, can that be called a cut in half? It dropped from more than 2000 million in a single day to about 900 million—the Japanese and Korean markets were directly wiped out."

Erwang can only say, "We have "The Great Earthquake."

"Tiantian Empire" is the biggest enemy of "Love Letter" in the same period. The gimmick at the beginning was to release it in all parts of Asia, which was exactly the same as Fang Yi's film.

There is also "Jing Wu Chen Zhen", which is so bad that it is not worth mentioning.Chen Zhen's ability to use force and Captain America's ability to call each other bright for a while.

Huaxia Film and Television's booth is very large, and originally planned to block "Love Letter" in all directions, so that no one can miss it.

Everywhere is now poked into a sieve.

The press release of Huaxia Film and Television said, ""Tongtian Empire" immediately became the runner-up of the weekly box office after its release on October 10 in South Korea, and it is expected to attract 1+ viewers...The director Xu Laoguai and the starring Hua Tsai are all familiar to Korean audiences. The lineup has caused heated discussions on the Korean Internet, and the magical scenes in the film, such as Tongtian Buddha, Ghost City, and Wuji Temple, have greatly loved Korean audiences..."

What this draft did not tell is that Koreans do not celebrate China's National Day, and this week is the off-season for the Korean film market, and there are no major releases.

I won't tell others that even South Korea's box office champion is "Love Letter".

　Fang Yi's targeted speech was artistically processed.It's just the old senior's criticism of Wen Muye after "The God of Medicine" was released.They couldn't figure out why "The God of Medicine" could get so much box office, why it got so many praises, "others use a rotten routine".There were some minor disturbances at the time.However, the criticism of literary and artistic films in 18 years has been overwhelming, and the management is basically a large consortium with public opinion.So doubts about Wen Muye himself were quickly dispelled.

　　About flowers: The classmate participated in the premiere of a certain film by Fan Bingbing.It may be because there are so many fans, they will hand flowers regardless of the movie; the organizer will also arrange babysitting, so that everyone can get flowers to avoid embarrassment; at the same time, there are indeed some who buy at their own expense, so it’s complicated, throwing away or something There are all of them, the security guards will stop you from throwing them, but some throw them successfully.The atmosphere was really crazy.
