Chapter Three Hundred and Forty Two: There are no moves to win
"No, that's not the case."
Shu Yu shook her head and rejected Duane's words, "You are not the only one who wants to make hamburgers."
"No matter whether it is a black cat and a white cat who can catch mice, it is a good cat. In this economic society, it is the bottom line. If you can make a lot of money as simple as you said, then why is there only one "Liberation Day" for so many years?"
Duane nodded and shook his head again, "You are right. I am not the only one who wants to make hamburgers. Zhang Yi has done it, so "Hero" was born."
"In addition to Zhang Yi, there are many people who want to make hamburgers, such as Chen Kaige and his "Wuji", but these people cannot make hamburgers well, as I said just now. They are used to cooking according to high-standard models such as raw crab meat stewed sea tiger wings. If you ask them to make hamburgers, the education they receive and the experience they have accumulated over the years will make them unconsciously increase their requirements for this hamburger, making this hamburger exquisitely, complexly, and rich in taste."
"But a hamburger is a hamburger, two slices of bread, one piece of beef, two slices of lettuce, and one slice of cheese. This is a hamburger. If you insist on adding crab meat and shark fin to it according to your own habits, it is not a hamburger, but a four-dimensional one. You think you are creative and stylish, but in fact you are kidnapped by your own experience and technology, and you can't even make a hamburger."
"A hamburger that everyone thinks is delicious seems simple, but not everyone can make it, let alone those who can't even see clearly."
Du An looked at Shu Yu and found that her eyes were a little confused and seemed to be unaware of it. So he pondered for a while and changed the statement: "I wonder if you have ever watched "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer"?"
Shu Yu nodded, "See it."
This is a classic work by Mr. Jin Yong. It has been remade countless times. Basically, as long as Chinese people know and watch it.
"There is a theory in it, called "no moves are better than moves, and I think it's quite appropriate to use it here."
Duane said: "In this theory, I think it can be divided into three levels, namely the innate non-touch, the acquired non-touch, and the acquired non-touch."
"The innate trick is that you have not learned any tricks. In the film and television industry, you are a person who has not learned a little bit of film and television knowledge. In the acquired trick is that you have learned a lot of tricks through acquired hard work. In the film and television industry, you are a practitioner in the film and television industry who has been studying in colleges and universities for many years, knows a lot of theoretical knowledge and has accumulated a lot of practical experience in your work. Put two people together and let them make a movie. Who do you think will make a better shot?"
Shu Yu could answer this question without thinking: "Of course it was the one who learned it."
Du An nodded, "Yes, the innate non-touch is not better than the acquired moves. No move is better than the acquired moves, which means that the acquired non-touch is better than the acquired moves."
"The so-called acquired non-touch is the subsequent stage of acquired non-touching. At this stage, he has learned a lot of tricks, but he has moved all these tricks out of his mind, forgot to implant them into his body, and no longer has fixed tricks. What he wants to use, he will naturally pick out the part he wants from the tricks he has learned and use them, and no longer stick to the limitations of the previous trick routines. This is acquired non-touching. In the film and television industry,
It is a person with rich experience who gradually integrates theoretical knowledge, filming experience, etc. with his body in his long-term practice, and has completely divided the knowledge that was originally divided into different fields into pieces and can be picked up at will. At this point, he has no longer any restrictions on the surface types of horror movies, and no longer requires strict adherence to the six elements of movies. There is no rules and regulations in his world, and only one concept is left, that is, 'movie'."
This is the acquired state of no tricks. Only when you reach this state can you really play movies, want to make big meals, and want to make burgers and burgers."
Now Shu Yu finally understood.
It turns out that hamburgers are not something that anyone can make as long as they want. More people can’t make hamburgers, but they just made a four-dimensional...
She looked at Du An and asked another question: "According to your theory, who in the director circle have reached the acquired state of no tricks?"
As soon as she said that, she felt a little embarrassed, "the acquired state of no tricks"? Why did she feel so ashamed when she said this...
Too second-rate.
Du An ignored her strange expression and replied shamelessly: "I'm counting one, and the other... many other directors have never actually met them, and they don't know what their level is, so it's hard to judge, but Zhang Yi should be able to count half of them. His "Heroes" is good, and it has a bit of that flavor, but it's not enough to jump out. There are still some inherent things that are affecting him. I can only say that half of his foot has entered this realm."
When he said this, his face was full of loneliness, and he almost wrote "How lonely is invincible" on his face, and he looked like a villain.
When Du An's tone was heard, even Zhang Yi felt that it was nothing more than that! However, Shu Yu had long been used to his frequent bragging, so she was not surprised, but just waved her hand, "Okay, okay, you're awesome."
She could tell that she was asking for it this time. The reason for the overseas box office of more than 900 million yuan can only be attributed to one sentence because Duane is awesome.
"You're almost expanding into a balloon."
Although I had known Du An's character for a long time, Shu Yu couldn't help but add this sentence.
Duan looked down at his waist and measured it with his hands.
"Is there any? It's quite slim..."
After measuring his waist, he raised his head and saw Shu Yu shaking his head and standing up with a look of "I can't stand you" and it seemed that he was leaving.
"Don't leave now,"
Du An refused to let her go and spoke up and kept her, "You're done with me, but I have something to look for you. You're here to come, so let's talk about that first."
Shu Yu's left foot, which had just stepped out, stopped in mid-air, then took it back, turned to look at Du An, "What's the matter?"
Du An had already put away the smug look of the villain just now, looked at Shu Yu and asked seriously: "Don't you think our work is over here, right?"
He didn't answer Shu Yu and Shu Yu, and asked back, "Otherwise? It's a sure thing to exceed 3 billion on "Liberation Day". It's almost impossible to sign and seal it?"
She still remembers the 3 billion thing and Duan's mindless boast. Now that she sees "Liberation Day" exceeding 3 billion, Duan will no longer have the risk of washing her hands, she feels relieved. In her opinion, nothing else seems to be important. This is the information Duan reads from her expression and tone.
The reading of this information made Du An feel warm in his heart. No matter what kind of grudges they have in their cooperation, it is all official business. In terms of personal affairs and personal feelings, the two are still close comrades-in-arms.
Instead of saying these words in his heart, Duan turned on a mockery mode, "I just remember 3 billion, that wouldn't be too boring, right?"
Shu Yu sneered, glanced at him sideways, and asked, "What about that?"
Duane stretched out his index finger with his right hand and pointed to the ceiling.
"Didn't you read what you said in those newspapers? Our current goal is to surpass "Heroes".
Shu Yu didn't say anything.
She knew that when her comrade went crazy, she was like a red-eyed mad cow with mad cow disease, and she couldn't stop him.
She didn't speak, Duane continued to talk to herself.
"If we want to surpass "Hero", we cannot stop now and lie on the credit book to earn our money. On the contrary, it is now time for us to fight to the death."
"The propaganda offensive cannot be stopped, it must blossom in many aspects: the stimulus of overseas box office cannot be stopped. Continue to find people to write reports and continue to speculate. I want to let all the audiences who have not bought tickets yet. I have no interest in "Liberation Day" know that there is such a movie with a huge overseas box office, so I will hurry to the cinema; in addition, there are a few days in the Huabiao Awards ceremony, so I will be able to handle the awards. I will do my homework on the organizing committee, follow up on the media, and act together. Once I implement it, I need the waves on your side, and I will make the most waves on your side. For the box office, I will also sacrifice this time..."
Shu Yu couldn't leave now, so the two sat down and chatted face to face for most of the day, and discussed the next series of publicity and offensives.
Will the overseas box office of "Liberation Day" have an impact on the domestic box office of more than 900 million yuan?
Yes, this can be seen from the single-day box office.
The 8th is the weekend of the second week of "Liberation Day". Because it is the first working day after the National Day holiday, everyone started to calm down after a holiday. Therefore, the box office on the 8th was so low that it was only 42.7 million. Of course, this is because of the particularity of the holidays, not because of "Liberation Day" itself. Other movies are also very tragic. "Baby Plan" had a single-day box office of only 0 million on this day, which is even worse than "Liberation Day", but it can still sit on the second-largest box office in a single day, which shows the overall tragedy of the market that day.
In the next new week, the single-day box office of "Liberation Day" on the 9th day rose by more than three million, reaching the number of 45.8 million, followed by the 10th day. After the single-day box office of "Liberation Day" rose by more than five million, reaching the number of 51.2 million, and then the 11th day. After two consecutive days of reverse rises, "Liberation Day" rose again, rose by more than two million, reaching 53.5 million.
With the passage of the movie and the emergence of new movies, the box office of a single movie has always declined, but some have fallen quickly and some have fallen slowly. I have never seen many reverse rises! Although there are not many increases, it is already amazing to be able to rise in reverse.
You are going to go against the will of heaven!
This is what many media people think.
There are "partners" that Shu Yu has connected, and there are onlookers who are purely watching the fun. However, no matter what their identity is, they are all interested in this phenomenon as a media person. They do news and like things that don't follow the common sense!
So those who had never received the money began to write articles excitedly, and those who had received the money even wrote articles like they were injected with chicken blood. The reports came out one by one, adding fuel to the current situation and burning "Liberation Day" to a prosperous future.
In addition, some wealthy newspapers even directly "opened up" the line of China Film and got relevant information from them. Then, following the line given by China Film and spent manpower and material resources to connect the publishers of several major ticket stores of "Liberation Day". Get first-hand information from them. After experiencing the heavy punches of the box office last week, they no longer want to wait for another week to get the data so passively. They want first-hand information!
As a result, there has been a rare daily tracking and reporting of overseas single-day box offices in domestic media.
"Liberation Day" US box office on the 9th, with a single-day box office of 53 million, UK box office on the 9th, Australia box office on the 9th, 8.6 million... The major global box office on the 9th, with a single-day box office of 9th, with a single-day box office of 92 million...
"Liberation Day" US box office on the 10th, 47 million, UK box office on the 10th, 6.7 million, Australia box office on the 10th, 7.1 million... The major global box office on the 10th, 81.7 million...
The overseas box office of "Liberation Day" is still suppressing the domestic box office with a scale of nearly twice the domestic box office! This is also a rare thing that suppresses the domestic domestic market overseas, but the people in China do not feel shame but take it as honorable.
"The Great Victory of the Chinese Spirit", a shameless newspaper began to sing odes, exaggerating it in the reports, attributed the inexplicable victory of "Liberation Day" in the overseas market to "the people of the world's recognition of the Chinese spirit", "the golden age of main theme films has arrived", and also called on the younger generation of directors to "shoot more main theme films" and "promote Chinese culture", claiming that "main theme films are the mainstream of the future"...
Orthodox newspapers like the People's Daily are much more low-key, and they only published a report, objectively saying that "Liberation Day triggered a movie-watching craze in the overseas market. The film industry in China has achieved global remarkable results." It did not mention the plot of the film "Blasting Zhongnanhai" in the movie that many people once vaguely worried about. Instead, they specially named Duane, believing that "the development of a country's industry requires such capable, ideals and responsibility young people."
This has caused many conspiracy theorists’ concerns about Duane’s “future” to disappear. At the same time, with this series of actions, one thing is getting more and more disturbing and is almost unable to be suppressed.
That is, speculation about whether the box office of "Liberation Day" can surpass "Hero".
Can this young man named and praised by the People's Daily be able to become the throne on the historical box office rankings? (To be continued.)
