Chapter 528 Classic Science Fiction Movie
Among so many movies during the Spring Festival, the movie with the best reputation is the one with the lowest scheduling!
Netizens have begun to make noises to "Immortality". This is not the treatment it should have. It should be seen by more people!
Discussing the quality of a film is a topic of opinion. A recognized good movie may not be a good one, but a recognized bad movie must be a bad one.
Since last year, in Douban movies, there have been very few domestic films that can pass the pass line by 6 points. There are bad movies every year, and there are particularly many this year, and it has even turned into a disaster!
In January, a blogger made the top ten bad movies of the year. After netizens voted, they found that even the top ten can be selected even if it is the top 20 bad movies!
Capital that is so anxious + original author with a face full of money robbery + screenwriter who can only copy and paste + director who impersonates an art director + young and handsome girl and their followers = audience who accepts everything
The film market has become impetuous, with a lot of foreign investments, and even some old film companies are becoming impatient. Since they can make money by making bad movies, who would still make good movies?
Of course, this is not all the actors' fault. The screenwriter and director are also responsible. For example, the script of "The Legend of the Gods" that is extremely bad is a scumbag. What kind of genius screenwriter can turn the familiar Romance of the Gods into such an inappropriate science fiction style?
In addition, directors are also an important reason. Many directors of bad movies are making movies for the first time. People with special effects technology can be directors, screenwriters, art directors, photography directors, and even authors can be.
The director himself must first have enough skills and certain experience. If he hasn't attended a performance class, how can he direct the actors? Almost all the directors who come from across the border are blindly directed, and of course the actors can only act like a few randomly. It is not surprising that bad movies are naturally not surprising!
For a good movie, every shot must be carefully crafted, and every minute of editing also requires repeated thinking. Directors such as special effects will definitely lack in guiding performances and storytelling.
The main reason why these people can become directors without professional training is the lack of directors in the industry!
In fact, the lack of directors in the Chinese film industry is a common issue. There are about five or six hundred movies available in China a year, and basically five or six hundred relatively mature directors are needed.
However, in the entire industry, there are only about one or two hundred directors that can be used in the market, so there are many directors who come from across the border!
When Lin Han first came here, he thought of making some money and filming "Immortality" after making money, but he gave up this unrealistic idea.
Because at that time, he had no money, no connections, and no directorial ability!
The original owner of his body is a top student who graduated from the director department. After absorbing the original owner's learning experience, Lin Han spent a long time studying and practicing, and then filmed this movie "Immortality" and came out to practice.
Of course, he wanted to shoot "The Matrix" or "Interstellar" and "Inception", but the problem is that he does not have the strength yet, so he can only grow up slowly with his feet on the ground!
The most important thing about this "Immortality" is to show his script skills. In the position of director, Lin Han did a great job and was quite outstanding.
The most important thing is that he will not be regarded as a director who has become a monk halfway through the journey. In the eyes of many people, Lin Han is a professional director with a strong root!
The director's cut version of "Breaking Out of the Solar System" has rehabilitated the original owner's reputation, and the Douban movie's rating has also risen to 6.8 points. It took quite a while to go from bad movies to qualified movies.
Now that bad movies are the most popular, where is the future of domestic films?
"Don't say why all the movies you see now are bad movies, because so many viewers are willing to watch them!"
"That's right, you still have to scold bad movies after watching them. Don't just watch them. It's great to resist bad movies!"
"There are so many movies in the cinema. Why don't you give more screenings to movies like "Immortality"? No good movies support it!"
"People who say they don't have good movies are asking for their own reasons. I will start with me if I resist bad movies!"
"It's not that I don't want to support "Immortality", but there's really no screening here. Do you have to spend several times the travel fee to watch a movie?"
"Oh, I hope those theater managers will take a look and see how good the attendance and reputation of "Immortality" is. Such movies should be screened more!"
"Support good domestic films and support director Lin Han!"
""Immortality" is really a classic, don't underestimate it."
After seeing the public opinion support from here, Chang'e Pictures, as the publisher, also began to make efforts. Movies with word-of-mouth support can get more box office.
Now the schedule of "Immortality" is indeed the lowest among the Spring Festival movies. The schedule of 1,500 shows only accounts for 0.5% of the total, but its real-time box office has left another movie apart!
"Forgetful Village" is a romantic comedy movie produced by several well-known actors. The film was scheduled for 1.8% on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there were 5,500 series in the country, which is more than three times that of "Immortality".
However, in terms of real-time box office, "Forgetful Village" only has 2.2 million yuan today, and "Immortality" has won 4.2 million yuan in box office, and it is not difficult to hit 5 million yuan.
In such an unfavorable situation, "Immortality" can still achieve twice the box office of its opponents, which is rare!
Whether it is the online rating or the real box office, "Immortality" is an excellent type, so Chang'e Pictures simply contacted familiar film critics to help build momentum and use a dignified attitude to make theaters change their original ideas!
Nowadays, many publishers use various methods to increase the schedule of their own films, such as rebates, which means dividing the box office they should have to the theater chain, thereby gaining support from the theater chain.
But the reputation of "Immortality" has become a foregone conclusion. Since a movie that can make money, it will definitely cancel the number of movies with poor attendance and give it to it!
But this kind of reaction takes time. What Immortality lacks the most now is time!
What Chang'e Film needs to do is to shorten the time for cinema responses and allow them to increase the schedule of "Immortality" on the second day of the Lunar New Year or the third day of the Lunar New Year.

The Spring Festival movies are so popular. Film critics who live by writing film reviews also worked overtime and followed the crowd to watch this movie that has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet. It is known as the last brilliant science fiction film of domestic films that is worth watching.
The well-known film publication "Watching Movies" published a film review in its electronic publication titled "If there is really an immortal person, what are he doing now?"
The article reads: "Today, I watched a movie that tells a different science fiction story. The name of this movie is "Immortality".
It is said that the cost is only 100,000 yuan. There are 8 actors in the whole movie, 5 of which are real professors and only 3 actors! There is only one scene in the movie, but the movie has completed a major reversal based on lines and actors' acting skills!
The story begins with the resignation of a Peking University history professor Wang Yong. He decided to share his biggest secret with his good friend who came to see him off before leaving. Then the story unfolds:
In this story, he is a human who has lived for 14,000 years. Not only has he experienced the changes from the Stone Age to the Modern Times, but he has also encountered various historical celebrities, and he is even the incarnation of the founder of Taoism, and has followed the Buddha to learn his philosophy.
Finally, they talked about a question, faith and religion, what kind of belief will a human being who has lived for 14,000 years?
"Immortality" does not play with conceptual display skills, but only a self-reflective calmness. Although the communication between the protagonist and the professors is full of academic knowledge in various professional fields, this does not make the whole film appear obscure, because the topics it wants to explore have broken through the limited length of this life and reached the eternal realm."
The famous film critic Dark Night Knight also gave a high evaluation, "The only one that has excellent reputation in the Spring Festival is this movie. The entire film of "Immortality" is basically composed of dialogue. One house and eight people are enough to support such a work that runs through tens of millions of years of human history and at the same time makes this thought-provoking."
"In the film medium, Lin Han uses nearly dramatic regulations to complete his creations. The difficulty is like putting himself in heavy shackles. After stripping away all special effects, montages, and gorgeous editing, he can still capture the audience's attention and make them fall into deep thoughts. He can only rely on outstanding plot settings and excellent performances of the actors.
When Xu Jiayan played the protagonist Wang Yong, his acting skills were natural, and he was more realistic than the astronauts on Mars he created. We seem to see a God who is almost mortal.
Especially that scene impressed me. When a friend accused him of relying on absorbing the lives of others to maintain immortality, Xu Jiayan's gloomy expression was very similar to the modern version of Count Dracula!
Originally, I thought Lin Han invited so many scholars and professors to make guest appearances, but I didn't expect that he would play the protagonist who was no less than Xu Jiayan's role. These professors were probably really immersed in the plot, and I couldn't tell the part of the acting. They were the characters themselves, or the script was born because of them!"
In this happy day for the family, the articles of film critics have been seen by more people, and the theater naturally wants to make as much money as possible. Now that "Immortality" is so popular, Chang'e Pictures' desire to schedule multiple films is naturally agreed.
