Chapter 346 Smells a conspiracy

What a Spring Festival Gala. People only remember the circling of the colorful flags and Lee Min Ho's poor Chinese. Gu Zhongyu originally wanted to watch Shen Teng's sketch, but suddenly remembered that this guy is still filming "Mermaid". In order to gain fame He turned down all the invitations to the Spring Festival Gala!

Then the data also proved that Feng Pants’ Spring Festival Gala was indeed unpopular: the ratings of the 2014 CCTV Spring Festival Gala live broadcast were 9.032, lower than the 2013 in 11.362. It was the lowest ratings in the years since the Spring Festival Gala was born, and it will be even higher in the following years. Low.

Of course, from another perspective, this is also the year with the highest ratings for the Spring Festival Gala in the next ten years!

"Xiao Gu, you are engaged in literary and artistic work, why do you think this Spring Festival Gala is getting worse and worse?" Zhang's father tried to cheer up, but the more he watched, the more his eyelids drooped, so he just chatted with his son-in-law to pass the time.

Gu Bohua said angrily: "It's none of my business, I'm not responsible for the Spring Festival Gala!"

Suddenly he thought of something, and said to Gu Zhongyu with a mysterious face: "Seeing that you are always so cynical, I will find you some meaningful work when the time comes. Don't be reluctant!"

"What do you mean?"

"You'll know when the time comes!" Gu Bohua gave up and didn't continue talking, but his father obviously knew something and also pursed his lips and smiled.

For some reason, he smelled something like silver hair!

Gu Zhongyu insisted on watching Teacher Li Guyi lead a group of people to finish singing "Unforgettable Tonight" while the two elderly people had already chosen to go to bed.

Then he turned and looked at the four people in the living room who were still immersed in mahjong. Is the charm of playing mahjong really so great?

At this time, countless fireworks were rising outside the window. Gu Zhongyu held his little niece outside and looked at the sky full of lights, sighing:

"Look, little Douding, another year has passed! You have grown up!"

Famous film critic Zhang Xiaobei posted on Weibo saying: "Interesting stories, sincere production, and professional marketing are different from "The Road to Misfortune". There are no secret martial arts tips that are not passed down to others, just do it down-to-earth." Good job every step of the way.”

When faced with the latest box office data, Wanda's cinema line manager exclaimed: "What's going on? What's going on in this world? This is no longer a dark horse or a miracle, it's completely become a legend and bizarre! Since the release of "Blissful Heart", the box office has not been high. The decrease is an increase, and there are 100 million every day!”

In addition, Zhang Xiaobei also reminded the industry not to blindly follow the trend: "Now there must be a lot of people gearing up to follow the trend. I just want to kindly remind you to work hard to create a down-to-earth localized story that can touch the hearts of domestic audiences. The hidden story is the right way.”

Gu Zhongyu was very angry. Although he was not sure whether the high-definition version of "Blissful Heart" was obtained by pirates from the theater and copied by himself, or someone deliberately released it, the pirated version had already been released, and he had nothing to do.

"Gu Zhongyu's new film "Blooming Heart" is officially released. According to the film schedule statistics in the top 33.31 cities across the country, the film's daily schedule rate reaches , setting a domestic film market record. In this regard, many cinema managers and industry insiders said that the advantage of the schedule, Gu Zhongyu The film's personal appeal, pre-release publicity and clear audience positioning have made the film a hit even before it was released."

The next morning, Gu Zhongyu returned to the company, opened Baidu and searched for the keyword "blissful", and countless messages immediately popped up.

Piracy is roughly divided into two types. One is secretly filmed in the theater, the picture is relatively blurry, and the effect is very poor. This type of piracy does not have a great impact on the movie; the other is copied and transcribed, the picture is relatively clear, and it has a negative impact on the box office. The impact is relatively large.

In fact, no one has a better solution to the piracy problem. Lao Mouzi's first major production "Hero" even offered a bonus of 4 million yuan on the eve of its release to combat movie piracy.

The reason why the piracy incident of Xu Zheng's "囧" was so big was that the pirated high-definition version came out the day after it was released.

"As of 8 o'clock this morning, the box office of "Blissful Heart" has been close to the million mark, and "Blissful Heart" can form such a rapid momentum, many people in the industry have also predicted that the box office of "Blissful Heart" is likely to surpass "囧" record of."

However, on the 6th, there was a slight decline in the box office, and "Blissful" actually failed to hit the million mark.

I asked someone to analyze the reason, and it turned out that pirated copies had already been released.

Of course, there are also media outlets that question theaters' film schedules. For example, Southern Weekend publicly defended Hong Kong director Cheng Baorui, saying that his film schedule for "Havoc in Heaven" was only half of that of "The Journey". They felt that theaters were unfair and even excluded their films. Suspect!

In this regard, Penguin News reported: The film scheduling standards of major theaters across the country are usually determined based on the film’s pre-screening publicity effect, attention, reputation of the test screening venue, and feedback from theater managers after watching the film. As for the high daily film schedule of "Journey on the Road", the person in charge of China Film Group said: "Firstly, it is because there are few films that are well-received during the Spring Festival. The performance of "The Fairy Tale" and "The Story of My Ex" is mediocre, and the performance of "Dad Is Going to Go" is very average. "Where" is another variety show with a bias towards subtitles. The audience reputation of "Havoc in Heaven" was not very good, so "Blissful" was given a relatively free schedule; secondly, Gu Zhongyu himself has a strong appeal. His fans are almost all those born in the 80s and 90s, who happen to be the potential audience of this movie, and the market potential is huge; thirdly, the film’s publicity effect is very good, from the click-through rate and click-through rate of previously released trailers, trailers and other materials Judging from the topicality it has generated, the film has attracted a lot of attention."

"Well!" Xiao Douding's eyes widened, and he suddenly remembered something very important. He turned around and stretched out his hand to Gu Zhongyu, "Second uncle, it's time to give you the lucky money!"

Why do you always think about exploding your second uncle’s gold coins?

……

Searching for movie paradise, the high-definition version of "Bliss on the Heart" has indeed appeared!

There is no doubt that piracy does harm to movies. If an audience has already seen a pirated version, it is unlikely that they will go to the cinema to watch the movie.

Domestic movie pirates are very powerful. As long as a movie is released for three days, pirated copies will basically come out. Of course, it is a candid version at the beginning, and the high-definition version usually takes about a week or even longer to come out.

Sina Entertainment reports: Such high attendance and box office results have shocked many professionals in the industry. Zongheng Film and Television, the producer of "Blissful Heart", said that the film was screened for more than 3000 times in 1440 theaters, with a cumulative audience of 4.3 million. The box office output is million yuan. With various theaters actively adding theaters, the number of "Blooming Hearts" has exceeded yuan, and the total box office has exceeded million yuan. However, as of press time, the film studio had not announced the exact final day box office figures.

In short, the entire film industry seems to be swept by this whirlwind of elation!

As an audience, if you have never watched "Blissful", you will be embarrassed to say hello to others. The nearly 100 million promotional expenses are really not in vain!

The current box office trend of "Blissful" is unmatched. The number of theaters scheduled for the second day of release reached 40. The box office on February 2st was 1 million, the box office on February 2.5nd was 2 million, and the 3.6rd day was 3 million. In three days, it was sold out. Nearly 4.8 million box office results.

At that time, even the General Office of the Ministry of Culture even issued a special notice requiring all localities to strictly prevent and crack down on piracy of "Heroes".

It has already reached the national level. Unfortunately, pirated copies of "Hero" came out very quickly. What's even more surprising is that the reflection on the DVD clearly says "Chinese Film Pirate Production Company assisted in the filming." After the actor's subtitles, there are ridiculous self-deceptive words such as "New digital DVD technology, please feel free to watch."

The rampant level of piracy is simply shocking! There is another example, Xingye's "Kung Fu"

At that time, Columbia spent 20 million US dollars to create a movie, but pirated copies appeared on the market within two days of its release, and the picture quality and clarity were almost as good as the original film!

In order to prevent piracy, Zhou Xingxing even specially recorded a trailer about combating piracy.

Unfortunately, it’s of little use!

With so many seniors having no good solution, Gu Zhongyu could only call on his fans on Weibo to go to theaters to watch the original version, and at the same time called on his friends to boycott piracy.

In fact, as a new generation of audiences enters theaters and the quality of movie viewing improves, many fewer people watch pirated movies.

The effect was not bad. By February 2, the box office of "Blissful Heart", which had been released for ten days, had successfully exceeded 11 billion, and it has been making great progress without any signs of decline.

The media never expected that the performance of "Blissful Heart" would be so crazy. A group of unscrupulous media people began to praise Gu Zhongyu in all kinds of ways. Some even compared Gu Zhongyu with the director Ning Hao. I don't know where. The conclusion is that Gu Zhongyu, the producer, definitely understands the audience's thoughts better than Ning Hao, and he is the soul of the movie.

This kind of remarks is suspected of instigating the relationship between the two.

Facing the media's pursuit, Gu Zhongyu didn't feel dizzy.

He never felt that he was so great. He only knew his own business. After all, he was not a director. He could only give Ning Hao reference opinions based on the plot and scenes in his memory. What the final film would look like still depended on the director's level. , it is definitely not like writing a script by yourself and having the same effect produced by anyone else.

Although he made many changes to "Blissful Heart", and the characters, plot, storyboards, etc. are all better than the original work, plagiarism is just plagiarism after all.

Gu Zhongyu, who was sober-minded, called Ning Hao and told him not to pay attention to the bullshit comments in the outside world. Ning Hao was a real person, and he didn't expect that Gu Zhongyu would care about such a trivial matter. He felt that he was also valued, and immediately said that the media That's bullshit. These people can't affect his relationship with Zongheng.

……

The Super Bowl is the most watched program in the United States, and the total number of viewers during the entire awards season cannot match the Super Bowl!

1.2 million viewers, almost half of the population of the United States!

How about Oscar? The annual viewership is over 30 million!

The date of the Super Bowl is not fixed every year, but it is always the last Sunday in January or the first Sunday in February.

The 2014 Super Bowl was held on February 2, local time, between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos.

Gu Zhongyu has no interest in football. He only came to the United States because the three major guild awards were about to be announced. According to the public relations strategy he and Frank had previously discussed, the three major guild awards were the key.

Regarding the final award of the Oscar, Gu Zhongyu will go all out no matter how lazy he is, so he rushed to the United States on the afternoon of the 10th.

On the East Side, Los Angeles, Hilton Hotel.

It's not that he doesn't want to go to New York, that place is already overcrowded, and New York is where the Super Bowl will be held this year!

Gu Zhongyu sat barefoot on the sofa, changing channels boredly with the remote control. Chen Sicheng went to deal with the film award reviewers. Shalizi was busy with work, and Alexandra didn't have time to come. He could only come today. Staying alone in a hotel.

He yawned while watching the TV, after all, he knew nothing about football.

After finally making it to halftime, Gu Zhongyu hurriedly locked in on ABC TV station.

The halftime show and halftime segment are here!

This year's halftime show was Martian Brother and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Gu Zhongyu didn't like the old American performance style, but he was still very interested in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He stared at the TV for a long time, then changed the channel, and saw a movie 's trailer is playing.

Just seeing Matthew McConaughey's face, Gu Zhongyu knew what kind of movie it was, a sci-fi masterpiece - "Interstellar"

A series of dialogues and fast editing, but there is no intention of forcing information on the audience. The entire thirty-second trailer clearly tells the audience that what the movie shows is a real interstellar travel.

The images are shocking, and there are a bunch of wonderful starry skies that have never been seen before.

After all, it is the birthplace of science fiction movies. Old Americans have an extraordinary love for science fiction movies. No matter how you look at it, Interstellar is a very good science fiction masterpiece!

Especially the interstellar craze that has quietly become popular in the past two years, from gravity to interstellar travel to Mars rescue, the timing of interstellar travel is so coincidental!
