Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 536 536. The head is not bad 【Subscription】

After deciding to postpone "Jurassic Park 2".

Lu Chen started paddling.

Except that people occasionally show up in the boss's office, most of the time.

His thoughts were all on cloud nine.

I even secretly played games during work hours.

What is it called Paladin.

The rich Lu Chen.Directly crazy krypton gold several million.

If you have nothing to do, you will bring your younger brother in the gang to kill people everywhere...

at the same time.

"Jurassic Park 2" is in its seventh week of release.

this week.

The movie box office officially broke through the 210 billion mark.

reached the level of 213 billion.

Also officially surpassed the record created by "Avatar",
Focus.

This record includes the records of the second re-screening of "Avatar".

What's the meaning.

This means that the total box office of "Jurassic Park 2" has exceeded the combined box office of "Avatar" for the first and second releases.

this moment.

Global shaking.

This is the end.

Lu Chen officially ascended the throne,

At this moment,
No one is questioning him.

There is no right to question him.

because,

from now on.

Two of the top three movies in movie history were written by Lu Chen.

Jurassic Park 2 and Jurassic Park.

There are three in the first five, and "King Kong" is added to the top two.

In the top ten, there are four.

"Jurassic Park 2", "Jurassic Park", "King Kong", "The Truman Show".

Looking at countless international directors.

Basically no one can reach this level.

Someone said!
Lu Chen's data has been unbeatable for at least ten years.

Of course.

This statement has indeed sparked a series of discussions.

No one can break for ten years is a bit fake no matter how you look at it.

Where is Kashen still?

He also has three works ranked in the top ten,

Unless he doesn't make movies for ten years, or the movies he makes in the next ten years are not ideal.

if not.

Keeping the record for ten years is a bit fake.

of course.

This is still somewhat believable.

In the eyes of many people,

If "Avatar 3" continues to maintain the quality of "Avatar 2".

The box office of "Avatar 3" has shrunk by at least one-third.

This is the truth.

This wave of Kashen directly cut off all the fans of Kashen.

Why do you say that.

Because "Avatar 2" is in Ugly or Hua.

The audience's enthusiasm for him is not very high.

Most of it is concentrated in the first week, and the rest of the time will be like that.

neither warm nor hot.

Including Kashen's promotion here, it didn't cause too much trouble.

why.

Very simple,
"Avatar 2", as a masterpiece expected by the world, did not show the excellent quality of the work. In terms of word-of-mouth scores, the score of "Avatar 2" is still falling.

There is a comment on the Internet that has resonated with most people, that is, although the movie is 3 hours long, the plot can be finished in 5 minutes. torment.

Secondly, the technical innovation of "Avatar 2" did not meet expectations. The reason why the first part of the series achieved unprecedented success in the world is that its core competitiveness is not the plot itself.

On the contrary, there were a lot of complaints about the first plot at that time, but the novel 3D technology still made everyone willing to buy it, and finally created a myth in the film industry.

However, although "Avatar 2" also produced the ultimate visual experience of "3D+IMAX+48 frames", it did not have any innovations that made people shine. The lack of interest is naturally inevitable.

Besides.

There is also "killing the chicken and taking the egg" in the cinema.

As a result, the audience did not buy it directly.

why.

Very simple.

The ticket price was too high, and the effect of the film did not meet the audience's expectations at all.

Simply put, it's not worth the price of admission.

It is said that

In order to create the ultimate visual experience, "Avatar 2" puts forward new requirements for the equipment of the cinema, and the cinema puts forward new requirements for the audience's wallet.

Statistics show that the average price of movies on the day of the premiere was as high as 111.8 yuan, of which the average price of the IMAX version was 233 yuan, and the average price of the CINITY version was 199 yuan.

Lu Chen was startled when he saw this data.

Although the price of his "Jurassic Park 2" in some imax theaters is not low.

But that is priced according to the conditions of the theater.

They really didn't mess around.

"Avatar 2" high ticket prices.

It directly discourages many people, and the quality of the movie itself is not enough.

Letting such pricing be widely considered to be "killing the goose to take the egg".

As a result, the word-of-mouth of both movie theaters and movies is declining.

In this situation.

Kashen's "Avatar 3" wants to win the support of these fans again.

Basically impossible.

Unless the technology and plot of "Avatar 3" explode.

and this.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

It is unlikely!

Again.

Movies need freshness.

Let me talk about the visual effects first.

On the visual level, the first part of "Avatar" shaped and displayed a brand new world from scratch, and the visual effects technology of the second part is still excellent, but for the audience, it no longer has the freshness of the first time. There is a lack of surprises, so there will be a gap in my heart.

In this situation.

Lu Chen didn't think that the visual effects of "Avatar 3" could continue to break through.

Second, let's talk about the storyline,
In terms of stories, the storylines of the two films are actually very similar, both about the invader and the invaded, but the main scene is changed from the forest to the ocean, and the second one is more about the personal grievances between the colonel and the hero, The focus is on family relationships and there are multiple family scenes, but they were all filmed in a hurry, making it difficult for the audience to get involved.

In the end, the big battle scene has shrunk significantly compared to the first one. The team battle part is not as spectacular as the first one. The fighting scene is almost a hand-to-hand gun battle, which did not give the audience enough impact.

In the case of a sequel.

Lu Chen also didn't think Kashen could bring more freshness to the audience.

Even he couldn't do it himself.

This is why he didn't want to make "Jurassic Park 3" very much.

of course.

This is just a general rule.

It’s not an iron rule, because in the history of movies, there are indeed some movie sequels that are on par with the original work, and some even exceed the original work, such as some blockbuster series, including "Lord of the Rings" and "The Godfather" and so on.

including domestically,

Such as "Thailand" and "Wolf Warrior 2".

but,

None of these films have anything to do with their predecessors.

Such as "Thailand".

In fact, Xu Zheng just wanted to take advantage of the hot spot of the 2010 film "On the Journey", so that the two films can form a connection to enhance the appeal to the audience.

In fact, apart from Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang starring in "People on the Journey", the rest of the creators have little to do with the later "Tai囧", but because of the unexpected popularity of this movie, Xu Zheng moved his mind and made such a film. When the first sequel comes out, it still borrows the IP of "People on Journey".

Related to this continuing appeal, "Lost in Thailand" released in 2012 was unprecedentedly popular with audiences.

In terms of excitement, "Lost in Thailand" is indeed far more than "On the Journey".

The story is more compact and complicated than the original road movie, and the exotic atmosphere of Thailand has been added to the screen. In addition to Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo was added to the actors. Finally, the easter egg of Sister Bayi was also featured, which was hilarious The degree is far more than "People on the Journey".

simply put.

"Tai囧" is a work that is both a sequel and not a sequel.

If you really want to count, it really doesn't have much to do with the previous work.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is similar.

"Wolf Warrior" is a 2015 movie that presents a border war between China and foreign countries. It tells the legendary story of a small person who grows into a lonely hero who saves the destiny of the country and the nation.

This movie is especially loved by audiences in third- and fourth-tier cities, and the dark horse generally created a box office of 5 million.

This kind of market reaction made the director and lead actor Wu Jing see hope. He put in more energy and launched "Wolf Warrior 2" last year. The psychology of the Chinese people has been welcomed by the market with great enthusiasm.

Same as "Lost in Thailand".

"Wolf Warrior 2" basically has nothing to do with the first one.

Then the problem is coming.

Will Kashen split "Avatar"?

The difficulty is quite large.

The time is not in a hurry.

Recreate a story.

It is still unknown whether this story can be written in a year and a half.

Not to mention filming it, making it, and sending it to the cinema.

To know.

The time Kashen said is the same time in 2020.

What's the meaning.

It means that the script of "Avatar 3" has already been written, maybe it has already entered the preparatory process.

Maybe they also know about Lu Chen's creative ability.

Therefore, try not to give Lu Chen this time.

the longer the time,

The more unfavorable it is to Kashen.

What scares Lu Chen the most is not his ability to direct, but his ability to create scripts.

It is impossible for Kashen not to know this.

therefore.

A year and a half was fine.

such a short time.

Lu Chen couldn't make major changes to "Jurassic Park 3".

pity.

He still underestimated Lu Chen.

What Lu Chen needs to consider now is whether to shoot "Jurassic Park 3".

Rather than how to write "Jurassic Park 3".

What's the meaning.

It means that the script of "Jurassic Park 3" has long been placed in his safe.

Not even Jurassic Park 3.

He has several other scripts in his safe.

Now what Lu Chen has to consider is to choose one of these scripts to shoot.

but.

Again.

Kashen is not easy to deal with.

Therefore, Lu Chen couldn't make up his mind for a while, because not just any script could be used to fight Kashen.

……

With "Jurassic Park 2" breaking the record set by "Avatar".

The entire Jiaxing Media breathed a long sigh of relief.

Even Lu Chen heaved a long sigh.

It took two weeks to break the record.

It really is!
In general.

The ending is still good.

Now that they have broken through, they don't need to put their minds on it anymore.

distance or something,

In Lu Chen's view, it's not that important.

Just break it.

Directly next year's "Avengers 4".

Lu Chen was really not too worried.

Under such circumstances,

He wants to break the record set by "Jurassic Park 2".

Basically impossible.

Not to mention.

Whether the audience has lost much enthusiasm for Marvel.

Let's talk about Lu Chen's side.

It will not let it harvest like the original world.

It is necessary to arrange a movie to go after and intercept.

Second.

"Jurassic Park 2" and "Avatar 2" have such a tragic harvest this time.

The film market also needs time to recover.

Simply put, the audience can't move.

"Jurassic Park 2" harvested more than 200 billion worldwide, and "Avatar 2" was close to more than 180 billion at the box office.

Add up.

Close to 400 billion.

The entire film market was harvested by them for 400 billion.

How long will it take to recover?
Not to mention there were other movies released during this time.

The end of the summer file.

There are also National Day files.

There will be another harvest in the National Day file, and the audience may not be able to watch it.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen was really worried that the box office of "Magic Boy Comes into the World" would not be able to sell.
That's right.

"The Devil Comes into the World" is about to be released.

As the first film of Fengshen, it also attracted countless attention.

The director of the film even met the media and said that this film is a successor to "Jurassic Park 2", and Lu Chen directed the film blah blah blah.

The director is taking advantage of Lu Chen's advantage.

as predicted.

After learning that the producer of this movie was Lu Chen, it quickly became popular on the Internet.

Then spread to reality.

More and more people walked into the movie theater just to watch the movie universe created by Lu Chen again.

Of course.

We also need to make a comparison to see whether Lu Chen's Fengshen project is more exciting or the Marvel project is more exciting.

How to say the result.

The reputation is not bad.

After all, the script of "Young Nezha" was written by Lu Chen, and Wang Xin also opened the door for convenience. This is the project that Jiaxing Media will plan for the next ten years.

Although the degree of attention is not as good as its own "Jurassic Park 2".

But Lu Chen still paid a lot of attention.

And the quality of the movie is not bad.

but.

It is filled with a lot of Huaguo culture, and it is normal to be cold in Hollywood...

Not even cold.

It's just that there are not as many audiences who like this movie as "Jurassic Park 2",

no way.

Cultural output is not so easy to do.

However, fortunately, the plot is also good.

Nezha's personality charm is still quite popular, plus it is an animated movie.

Little Nezha is not hard to sell in Chou Country,
Compared with the ugly country,
Here in the country,

I fell in love with this animated movie immediately.

Directly scored an average score of 8.2 on Douban.com.

As for the plot,

The original version of "Magic Boy Comes into the World" is almost the same.

Simply put,
The story of the growth experience of "born as a demon" but "go against the sky and fight to the end".

The ratings and box office of the film are very high, which can be regarded as another milestone for Guoman.

Although it is also a commercial film, its positioning is very clear, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and joyful. Strictly speaking, it uses comedy techniques to interpret a small tragedy, but at the end it turns tragedy into comedy through emotion.

There are tears in laughter, sadness in joy.

This ingenious technique makes the characters more three-dimensional, and what is even more commendable is that Jiaozi has recreated the classic myth of Nezha Naohai, and almost all the characters have got rid of the single image in the classic.

Nezha is no longer a naughty child, he also understands human emotions and accidents, and longs to be accompanied and cared for, just like every ordinary child.

In addition, the images of the parents are also full and vivid. Li Jing not only cares about the common people, he also has this son in his heart, even though he is born evil and destined to die.

This arrangement allowed Li Jing to step down from the altar, put down his figure, and look more like a flesh and blood man and father.

Aobing's betrayal is undoubtedly a highlight, and it also turned the tragedy into a comedy.

In addition, the images of Taiyi and Shen Gongbao aggravate the comedy effect of the film.

Obviously Shen Gongbao is a villain, but it can also be a laughingstock.

The plot of the devil boy is actually very simple and even a bit old-fashioned, which is not its attractive point.

The emotional line in the film is the most touching and attractive place.

The main thread on the surface is Shen Gongbao's jealousy, which connects the whole film from beginning to end, which can be said to be the skeleton of the film.

And the emotional secondary line interspersed in the middle is flesh and blood.

The first is the mother's company and helplessness, the second is the father's responsibility and redemption, the third is Nezha's loneliness and refusal to accept his fate, the fourth is Aobing's choice, and the fifth is Taiyi's kindness and guidance.

The director spent a lot of pen and ink on the rendering of emotions, and the whole film has a kind of warmth in it, even in the last moment of despair, there are friends who betrayed the company.

The film can be said to be suitable for all ages. Comedy and the last high-energy fight can attract a large wave of young audiences, while emotion is the resonance of people. The success of the film can never be separated from the sense of substitution.

As for the shortcomings, it can be said that the flaws are not concealed, and the simplicity of the plot is one of its major shortcomings.

But it is precisely because of this shortcoming, combined with the atmosphere of comedy, that the devil boy has been achieved and the audience has a wider audience.

So Magic Boy is a very successful commercial film.

The director not only expresses what he wants to express, but also considers the preferences of the audience. It can be said that he interprets and defines traditional IP in a way that the public loves.

There is also the shaping of characters, which depends on the individual.

Some people may prefer the original flavor and dislike this modification.

But that doesn't stop those who appreciate it from watching it.Finally, let’s end with Nezha’s words, “Other people’s words are farts, and you are who you are only if you say it yourself.”

all in all,
The start was a success.
