my movie years

Chapter 266

Zhang Hao led the crew shivering in the cold wind in Jinchang, Gansu. When he was working hard on filming, the film market was surging.

In the mainland, this year, a total of two film adaptations of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" have been released, and one "Nine-story Demon Tower", which is a big bad movie.

The other one is not bad, directed by Wu Ershan, starring Chen Kun, Dazui Shuqi, Huang Bo, Xia Yu and others, "Looking for the Dragon".

In fact, the competition for this IP was fierce at the beginning, and many companies were interested in grabbing this well-known online novel IP.

In the end, Haotian Studio, the predecessor of Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, snatched the copyright of the first four stories of the novel, and other companies divided up the copyright of the remaining stories.

Over the past few years, Zhang Hao has gradually become a leading director, and he has the right to adapt the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so book fans are also looking forward to the effect of Zhang Hao's direction.

But the waiting time is getting longer and longer, but there is still no news that Zhang Hao is about to adapt this project.

So the book fans couldn't wait any longer, and they all urged Tianmi Film and Television Production Company to start producing it quickly. The more radical book fans hoped that if Zhang Hao didn't direct, he would hand it over to others.

But this kind of voice disappeared more than half after "Nine-story Demon Tower" was released.

Frankly speaking, "The Nine-story Demon Tower" is completely separated from the original work in terms of plot, and has little to do with the original work.

But its poor quality, confusing plot, special effects for fifty cents, and eye-catching pictures made the audience scold.

Although the box office of 6.81 million is considered to be profitable, its poor reputation completely destroyed the possibility of sequel production.

Seeing this, it's the poor performance of a rushed film project.

At this time, the book fans are not in a hurry. Obviously, the hastily produced film has a high probability of being shameless. The book fans obviously don't want the novel to be badly filmed.

And in December, another "Looking for the Dragon" was released. Compared with "The Nine-story Demon Tower", the quality of this film was unexpectedly better.

At the very least, the film has a high degree of completion, the story is told very clearly, and the special effects and pictures are not much to be picky about.

It is worth mentioning that the special effects production of "Looking for the Dragon" was completed by Zhang Hao's Tiangong Yicai Studio.

As Tiangong Yicai participates in more and more large-scale productions and projects, the studio has successfully achieved profitability.

And Tiangong Yicai Studio has also continued to occupy the share of special effects companies from Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, and has gradually become a disruptor in the industry.

All of this is inseparable from Zhang Hao. It is Zhang Hao who leads the Tiangong Yicai Studio to work on each project, cultivates a large number of talents for the team, accumulates experience, and develops technology.

In fact, Penguin not only wants to acquire Tianmi Film and Television Company, but also has the idea of ​​acquiring Tiangong Yicai Studio.

Tianmi Film and Television Production Company is regarded as a multi-person shareholder. Da Mimi, Guo Fan, and Cai Runping all have shares.

But Tiangong Yicai Studio, apart from the two founders of the studio, Gong Jun and Wu Yinghao, the only owner and shareholder is Zhang Hao.

Such a technical company or studio has a high premium in the market.

However, Zhang Hao has no intention of selling his shares. After all, the special effects studio is now making money, and it is no longer a burden, but a high-quality asset.

As for the copyright of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" that he holds in his hand, Zhang Hao has no idea at present. If possible, he would like to find a director to start the project.

In fact, the copyright of novels has been sold for many rounds, the copyright of theater movies, the copyright of TV dramas and online dramas, and now with the rise of big online movies, there are more online movie copyrights.

Those copyrights in the public domain, such as Journey to the West, or the IP of Di Renjie, are scattered everywhere, and anyone can develop them.

However, Tianmi Film and Television Production Company strictly protects its copyrights, and the copyright awareness is constantly improving.

Every time a bad film is produced, the value of this IP will be reduced by one point.

Zhang Hao doesn't want all the IP in his hands to be ruined by capital, so that the IP itself loses its value completely.Therefore, the IP copyright owned by Tianmi Film and Television Production Company is firmly in its hands.

Of course, this caused a certain dissatisfaction, because if you hold the copyright, others can't make it.

After a lot of capital entered the entertainment market, they discovered that Zhang Hao had already woven a large IP network, and many well-known IPs were concentrated in the hands of Tianmi Film and Television Company.

This makes people very helpless, and they can't be robbed by others!

Fortunately, Zhang Hao still has a high vision, so there are still many IPs that everyone can fight for.

For Zhang Hao, even if he finishes shooting the movies in his mind in the future, he can still shoot these IP works.

In fact, IP-based movies are easier to shoot, and original movies are always much weaker than adapted works in terms of competitiveness.

In the field of commercial film production, this gap is even more obvious.

In December, in addition to "Looking for the Dragon", there is also the comedy movie "The Villainous Angel" directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, starring Deng Chao and Sun Li as husband and wife.

How would you rate this video?One word: rotten.

Deng Chaojia Yu Baimei is equal to bad movies, this law is really easy to use.

You said that Deng Chao has no talent for comedy, obviously in "Let's Run!""Brothers" is very funny, it can be said that he has a talent for comedy, and the few comedies he directed and acted in made people laugh.

In fact, Chinese film comedy is now in a golden age, it is a comedy, as long as there is a little bit of humor, it can reap box office.

But like "Villain Angel", many comedies are purely playful and funny, and do not have the spiritual core of comedy movies.

Watching this kind of comedy movie is like watching a Spring Festival Gala sketch. After watching a laugh, you will feel dull.

Of course, the Spring Festival Gala skits are even worse, after all, it is impossible to even make the audience laugh.

With the development of comedy movies, most comedy movies have to face embarrassing scenes to make the audience laugh, and it was also the era when comedy movies were declining.

In the third decade of the 21st century, comedy has declined.

Many comedians are either transitioning or living on their laurels.What impressed me most was Jia Bing. None of the comedies he starred in can be remembered.

The train security inspector in "囧Mom" is one of them, and the most impressive one is actually the black boss in the anti-crime theme "Hurricane".

As an actor, it is very lucky to have a role that can be remembered.But as a comedian, it's embarrassing to not have comedic roles and movies to remember.

The declining box office performance of comedy movies year by year also proves that the genre of comedy movies is gradually losing the love of audiences.

It's not that the audience doesn't like comedy movies anymore, but that after watching too many funny and embarrassing comedy movies, their appreciation of comedy has improved.

What the audience needs is a better comedy like "Crazy Stone" and "Nobody Knows".

Many comedians don't understand the point of comedy at all, thinking that comedy is funny, and it's enough to make the audience laugh.

But it is not the case. The reason why comedy is called a superb art is not because its core is tragedy.

It's because the protagonist in a comedy movie is seriously trying to do something that looks silly to the audience outside the big screen.

The resulting strong dramatic conflict is the expression of comedy and the source of laughter.

This is also the reason why Zhang Hao chose Shen Teng in "Knives Out". In this golden age of comedy, Shen Teng can be regarded as one of the few comedians.

I don't know if it is a comedy master, but it is true that the box office of the comedies starring Shen Teng is not low. His Teng-style style is one of the few comedy styles that have come into their own after Master Xing.

"Knives Out" had already received 11.21 billion box office before the release of "Villain Angel".

The plot is tense and exciting, reasoning puzzles and hilarious plots are the reasons why this movie can earn such a high box office.

Another movie that will be released in December is the above-mentioned movie version of "Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan".

When I watched the short play "Unexpectedly", I thought it was very funny, but the short play turned into a two-hour movie.

Every second of sitting in the movie theater, when I can't laugh, is torture.

In fact, the leading actor Bai Ke himself is quite handsome, wearing glasses and a suit, he has the feeling of a gentle animal.

Later, the drama version of "Three-Body Problem" played the role of Bai Mulin, although he didn't make many appearances, but he interpreted the feeling of being a gentle beast very well, making people want to give him a punch.

Except for these few films, the rest is "Old Paoer" directed by Guan Hu. Feng Dapao is not as good as Zhang Hao as a director, so he is here to be an actor.

In this film, there is a sewing machine brother, and he looks quite handsome with white hair.

At this time, the high-spirited sewing machine brother probably didn't expect that he would die violently in the future, the kind that died thoroughly.

Sometimes Zhang Hao meets these people face to face and knows their future in advance, which is a bit strange.

The future of Da Mi Mi has been changed a lot by Zhang Hao, her reputation is better than in her previous life, and there are not so many black spots.More importantly, Da Mi Mi's career as an actor has been greatly enhanced by Zhang Hao.

This should be placed in the previous life, who would have thought that Da Mi Mi could actually win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

If someone told Zhang Hao like this, Zhang Hao would most likely feel that this person's brain was broken after he became yang.

But now it's different, those black people who were black with big Mimi's acting skills in the previous life came to see Da Mimi's acting skills like two people now, they all exclaimed that this is not the big Mimi they knew.

Some people's future has been changed, while some people are walking towards the established end under the strong historical inertia.

Zhang Hao has no intention of changing, after all, they are not relatives.

On the contrary, no one can experience the joy of eating melon for the second time, only Zhang Hao feels it himself.

The release of these films can also be regarded as the end of the Chinese film market in 2015.

However, on the last day, which is the time of the New Year's Eve, Tianmi Film and Television Production Company's "Detective Chinatown" was released.

Meanwhile, in North America, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is all the rage.

Its menacing appearance seems to want to push "The Dark Knight" from the throne of the annual global box office champion.
