Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 407 407. Creative Direction 【Subscription】

Seeing such a crazy "God of Medicine" and the undefeated Jiaxing Media.

Production companies in the industry have another headache.

Although it is not surprising, but in the face of such a situation.

They will still feel helpless.

This is also the reason why Wu Da did not dare to take action against Jiaxing Media.

Five together,

They believe that Jiaxing Media can't do anything about them.

But the question is can they always join forces?

Definitely not.

and so!
He could only watch Jiaxing Media continue to be so rampant.

To say the happiest.

Undoubtedly it is Oriental Entertainment.

When the Oriental Cinema was replaced with Jiaxing Media in the form of a share exchange.

Many professionals in the industry feel that they have made a bad move.

just now.

No one dared to say such a thing.

It's all bad chess,
So what are theirs?
stupid move?

Suicide?

Before, when Cai Ran decided to exchange shares with Jiaxing Media, Dongfang Entertainment had a internal squabble because of the exchange of shares.

At that time, although everyone was optimistic about Jiaxing Media.

But he is not optimistic that Jiaxing Media can get to where it is today.

But Cai Ran still resisted all opinions.

It is his confidence to say that Lu Chen has never been defeated.
now.

It further proves the accuracy of this sentence.

Maybe Jiaxing Media does not have as many resources as other production companies.

The resource here refers to the resource outside the work.

but!

Facts have proved that people don't need these resources at all, or that these resources don't need people to create them at all.

With Lu Chen's strength,

These resources can be delivered to your door.

From the moment Lu Chen became a world-class director, the Big Five knew that Jiaxing Media could not be touched.

The above will never allow it.

Now Lu Chen has become a stop sign, a signboard for the export of Huaguo culture.

This is the golden body that Lu Chen has built in the past few years.

now,

Other companies only want to cooperate with Jiaxing Media, and they don't have the opportunity to compete with Jiaxing Media's rivals.

Just like this time.

"The God of Medicine" was released, and many distribution companies in China took the initiative to help them distribute it. This can be regarded as an opportunity for future cooperation with Jiaxing Media.

Although such a result is not what the Big Five want to see.

But they couldn't stop it.

and so.

If you can't beat it, join in.

This decision can be said to have surprised professionals in the industry.

Logically speaking.

With such an arrogant attitude of the Big Five, only others ask for their cooperation, absolutely not theirs.

but.

Now Jiaxing Media has done it.

The Big Five took the initiative to seek cooperation, which no one expected.

Of course, except for cooperation.

They also hope that the box office of "The God of Medicine" will be normal in the next process.

That way everyone can stop.

The imported films are basically released by the Big Five.

Facing Jiaxing Media's film.

They also understand that even if it is a Hollywood blockbuster, it may not necessarily be beneficial.

pity.

The box office of 2.8 million on the first day is destined to have an extraordinary future for "The God of Medicine".

In the next few days, although the box office did not fluctuate much, it maintained a good sales line.

There are still some slight increases.

Those who said before that "The God of Medicine" will come down.Just like those people who like to say that house prices will come down.He could only look at Jiaxing Media's victory in awe.

And when the first week is over.

The total box office of "The God of Medicine" has reached 18 billion, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Chen is praising Wu Ying.

It's not a big deal either.

Without strength, even if there is a good script, such "The God of Medicine" will definitely not be able to be made.

This is the truth.

The script is the foundation of future films and the basis for the director's creative ideas. Therefore, the quality of the script plays a decisive role in the success or failure of future films.Judging from some existing successful films, most of them are completed on the basis of good scripts.

The so-called "play protector" means that a good script can help the director and actors a lot.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, a good script is ruined by the director, which is due to the lack of skill of the director.

We can't blame bad movies all because of the script;
Sometimes a bad script may produce a good film due to the director's efforts, so the relationship between the director and the script is the closest.

From the initial search and selection of the script, to the analysis and study of the script, until the final performance of the script on the screen, the director has always been in contact with the script.

"Then the next question is..."

Liu Shishi held the box office report of "The God of Medicine" and couldn't hide his smile: "How much box office will our "God of Medicine" get in the second week?"

Lu Chen reminded: "Don't forget to promote..."

Liu Shishi still had a smile on his face: "Of course I won't forget such an important matter. After all, the films that will be introduced next Friday will be released. In fact, our company's official website, Weibo and many link channels are all Helping us promote "The God of Medicine", even Tang Lei and the others asked him to help bring the rhythm."

"alright."

Lu Chen rolled his eyes, and asked his wife to order Tang Lei and the company's artists.

Lu Chen must have no idea.

After all, he is also one of the people being called.

shook his head.Continue talking about the schedule: "Your Name, which will be released next week, should be a new challenge. Pay attention."

"It's gone!"

"Gone?"

"The challenge is gone. Originally, this film was going to be released next week. But after seeing the box office of "The God of Medicine" this week, Qin Huang Entertainment chose to adjust the schedule and changed it to the next week. I also didn't expect Qin Huang Entertainment, one of the top five, to change the schedule for us."

"That's it!" Although Lu Chen was surprised, he wasn't too surprised.

Domestic entertainment companies basically did not dare to fight him.

Not to mention the entertainment company.

Not even the director.

There was a national teacher before, but now, the national teacher is gone.

Not a single one can hit?
Also because there is no,

So Lu Chen wanted to cultivate a few more capable fighters.

but,

This difficulty is really not ordinary.

"It's still a bit unbelievable." Liu Shishi smiled and said, "I'm not surprised that they chose to withdraw their files when they faced you, but they are not facing you, but Wu Ying, even though you wrote the script. , but you didn’t make the movie.”

"So they were waiting and watching. When they saw something was wrong, they chose to withdraw. Of course, there may be another reason."

"What's the reason?" Liu Shishi asked curiously.

"I'm afraid of being targeted by me." Lu Chen explained.

This is probably the best explanation.

Now everyone knows that Lu Chen is praising Wu Ying, if they dare to make trouble deliberately.

Lu Chen will definitely clean them up.

Therefore,
They were not afraid of Wu Ying, but Jiaxing Media.

If you change the time, then maybe.

"Then next week's box office may be much higher than this week." Lu Chen also smiled.

Of course, he also hopes that "The God of Medicine" can go on smoothly, and next week, if there is no opponent.

The performance of "The God of Medicine" will definitely not be worse than the first week.

Miaoyan's final box office forecast for "The God of Medicine" is 40 billion.

This number is not too high, compared with Lu Chen's previous works.

of course.

compared with other works.

This box office can definitely be ranked in the top ten.

Miaoyan's prediction is similar to Lu Chen's prediction, even if this movie is good.

This box office is already the limit.

Today, the box office limit of the domestic film market should be about 50 billion. This 50 billion is not something that can be achieved by a movie that mixes commercial films and cultural films.

be honest,

Meow's prediction can be said to be very good.

Want higher box office.

can only go out of the country,

And going abroad, "The God of Medicine" obviously can't do it.

There are many layers of reasons.

First, I am not a medicine god. The national law does not allow it, nor does the international law, and the interests of medical patents do not allow it.It does not mean that it is morally reasonable, but it does not support it legally, which means that it will definitely not be recognized by orthodoxy!
Second, this drama was produced by Huaguo. Many of Huaguo's works are not well received abroad. Many countries that have prejudices against Huaguo will not recognize Huaguo culture.Only when Huaguo's soft power goes global can it be recognized internationally.

Thirdly, because of the subject matter, the subject matter that can go out of China is still martial arts, history, and mysterious biographical works.It is difficult for such a niche sports lottery to attract the attention of foreign groups!

Fourth, cultural influence.Huaguo's cultural output is not enough, and its cultural influence is not enough. Like Japanese manga, Japanese dramas have been spread overseas for many years, and Huaguo still has a long way to go.

This is also the reason why Lu Chen needs such a movie in Huaguo.

The ones he took before!
It cannot represent the culture of Huaguo, and the help for cultural output is extremely limited.

"correct."

Liu Shishi suddenly said: "I heard that the overseas box office of "Hachigong" is not low."

"Don't think about it, it is impossible for "The God of Medicine" to go abroad? And I have no intention of letting it go abroad." Seeing that my daughter-in-law still does not give up the idea of ​​letting "The God of Medicine" go abroad.

Lu Chen couldn't help feeling a little headache.

"The main purpose of filming Yaoshen is to give these domestic directors a template."

"Template?" Liu Shishi was puzzled.

"Didn't you find that the imagination of these domestic directors is very limited?"

Liu Shishi still didn't understand.

Regarding this, Lu Chen could only slowly explain to his daughter-in-law.

Einstein once said that "imagination is more important than knowledge", but the circumstances under which he said it are unknown.

What is even more regrettable is that this sentence was spread later and was interpreted as "Imagination and knowledge are natural enemies. With knowledge, imagination will disappear."

In other words, knowledge is the shackles of imagination!

Can you imagine what a person without knowledge can imagine?
At least Lu Chen couldn't imagine it.

The well-known writer Wan Weigang pointed out sharply in the book "Unexpectedly":
The highest imagination is not free!"Imagination" becomes possible only when the causal relationship between things is understood.

People can imagine themselves flying in the sky because they see birds flying in the sky.

There are also quite a few ancient swordsman novels, but hidden weapons almost never appear; and now there are hidden weapons in every martial arts book.

Why can't the ancients imagine hidden weapons?Because the hidden weapon was only imagined by modern novelists who were inspired by pistols.

In sci-fi movies 30 years ago, the spaceships were filled with keyboards and indicator lights, because people of that era had only seen these things.

And now in sci-fi movies, there are touch screens everywhere, because smartphones are everywhere now.

So, imagination must have a handle, and knowledge is the handle of imagination.

You might say that children don’t have much knowledge, but they are good at imagining.

Correct.

But children are good at imagining that if cats and mice could talk, if peas could grow trees that reach the sky.

This kind of imagination just pulls together irrelevant things, this kind of imagination is completely free, but it is also inferior.

Because it will not ask another question, "Why can a big tree overcome gravity and reach the sky?"

So what is advanced imagination?
For example, if you want to write an unfathomable story like the movie "Avatar", all you need is another level of imagination, a kind of unfree imagination, a kind of advanced imagination.

You have to construct an imaginary world that can justify itself.

The magnetic field of Pandora is a bit disordered, which is caused by several planets around it, so you can always see several stars in the sky.

The reason why the mountains of Pandora can be suspended in the air is because there are superconducting substances in the mountains; the animals of Pandora have special abilities to adapt to the magnetic field disorder and superconducting environment...

You see, is this kind of imagination wild and wild?Of course not, it is carefully designed step by step, and it is a logical system derived from knowledge.

Why are domestic directors unable to make "Avatar"? What they lack is not "freedom", but the extremely difficult mental and physical resources of this "not free".

Therefore, the seemingly free imagination has a source of reference behind it.

Imagination of the highest order, limited by knowledge.

The more knowledge you have, the more you can imagine.

In a word, real scientists are more imaginative than so-called "imaginators"!

The types of domestic movies can be said to be very single.

Basically rely on five generations of directors to lead the way.

Just a simple statistic.

The genres of mainstream films in 2009 were mostly costume films, war films, and romantic comedies.For example, "Nanjing! Nanjing!", "Red Cliff", "The Wind", "October Siege", "Three Shots Surprise", "Perfect", "Crazy Racing" and so on.

In 2010, Director Feng's disaster films, romantic comedies, costume films, and historical films became the guarantee of high box office revenue that year. "Tangshan Earthquake", "If You Are the One 2", "Ip Man 2: The Legend of the Grand Master", "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", "The Orphan of the Zhao Family" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" became the topic of the year.

In 2011, "33 Days of Broken Love" was released, which won word-of-mouth and box office miracles, and thus started the trend of making urban love or chick movies.

In addition, war movies represented by "Jinling Thirteen Beauties" and action movies co-produced by Xiangcheng and the Mainland are still popular movie types in recent years.

In 2012, "Lost in Thailand" won the box office championship of the year, and the comedy film took advantage of the victory and became the main genre of mainstream Chinese movies afterwards, triggering a wave of viewing during the Spring Festival.

In addition, the costume film "Painted Skin 2" and the disaster film "[-]" were the topical works of the year, and they also achieved considerable box office results.

From 2009 to 2012, domestic mainstream films did not achieve substantial and stable development after the main theme films represented by "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" triggered a viewing boom, while other mainstream genres other than the main theme mostly focused on war films and costume films , comedies and urban romances, although these films arouse topics every year, they still lose to the offensive of foreign blockbusters in terms of box office performance.

In 2013, the situation changed. Lu Chen's "Fast and Furious" and Xingye's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" overwhelmed "Iron Man 3" and secured the first and second places at the box office. Screening and production trends.

In addition, "To Our Dying Youth" also started the production of domestic youth films.

The "Partner" filmed by Lu Chen later also provided a route for the production of films about little people's struggle and biopics in recent years.

2014 was home to comedies and teen flicks.For example, "Heart Blossoming on the Road", "Breakup Master", "The Future Will Be Unexpected", "The Year in a Hurry", "You at the Same Table" and so on.

The box office miracle of "Monster Hunt" in 2015 revived the fantasy film market again.

In addition, comedies such as "囧囧 in Hong Kong" and "Charlotte Annoyance" became the topic and word-of-mouth masterpieces of last year.

In addition, the release of "Wolf Warrior" allowed the audience to experience the courage of Chinese heroes in the new era. Its appearance really triggered the trend of new mainstream film production.

As for why there are no photos taken by Lu Chen!
Very simple,
That's what Lu Chen couldn't learn from those domestic directors.

The first is investment.

Although these domestic directors are very powerful, there are really a few who can raise so much investment.

Lu Chen's latest movie.

Investment is basically more than three small goals, even if there are investors who are willing to pay, the director may not dare to shoot.

Besides.

There are also script constraints.A good story does not necessarily have a good script.

This is one of the phenomena in the domestic director circle.

This is the truth.

Therefore, low cost has become the best choice for other directors.

"So to say."

After listening to Lu Chen's explanation, Liu Shishi said, "So, are you giving other domestic directors a creative direction?"

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

If there are no accidents, the mainstream of the film market in the next few years will definitely be the main theme movies.

and so.

Lu Chen also wants to open up another new path for the film market where the main themes are about to get together.

It's not that it's not good to have the main theme movies together, but that Lu Chen hopes that all the flowers will bloom together.

……

time flies.

the second week,
"The God of Medicine", which has not met its opponent, is still beating according to the movies released at the same time.

The result is that "The God of Medicine" has a box office of 15 billion in a single week.It won the box office champion in the second week of the Huaguo Film Market.

The third week.

"Your Name" is released.

The third week is a weak period for many movies, and it is also a weak period for "The God of Medicine".

Things that can't be done.

After all, "The God of Medicine" is not a blockbuster like "King Kong".

The potential doesn't last long at all.

Three weeks is already the limit.

However, even in a period of weakness, match "Your Name".

"The God of Medicine" is still true.

The opponent still came to a rather tragic end.
