Chapter 85 I want two billion for this Lunar New Year file! (5/5)
It is said that "1942" is Feng Xiaogang's dream...
According to his own words: After watching Liu Zhenyun's "Review of the Anthology 1942" 18 years ago, he wanted to make this movie.
‘I think there are two values in movies: one is the value of understanding and the other is the value of entertainment. 1942 first has the value of understanding and our nationality. This can be said to be my ambition to make this movie.’
'I think the audience will have a new understanding of our nation after watching the movie. This nation has endured so much suffering, and it is very difficult to get to this day. It must have many national advantages in it, such as tenacious vitality and courage in the face of disasters. All of this may be. At the same time, why has our nation suffered so many disasters? History continues to repeat itself. Where is the problem of this nation? While the audience is blocked, the movie may give the audience some answers.'
A piece of publicity that is full of daddy flavor!
The so-called father-like taste is the superior, at least they think they are the superiors!
Occupying the top of the social pyramid, intentionally or unintentionally imposes one's own values and preferences on others.
Being self-centered and thinking that "I am the truth" cannot hear a different view...
Why can Feng Xiaogang speak the theory of ‘trash audience’?
It’s not because I treat the audience as my son.
I feel that the audience needs education!
The same is true for Old Chen, the dad taste is too good...
Of course, the film "1942" was filmed carefully - Director Feng worked hard for two years, and he also took time to educate netizens and was given the gift of the Kushu Baoya number...
But to be honest, the story of "1942" is not popular enough, unlike "The Great Tangshan Earthquake", which almost everyone knows. From the 80-year-old lady to the teenage high school students, everyone knows this.
The people are very vague about the concept of famine.
Have no food to eat? Have people starved to death? Have children eaten?
What's this?
In a sense, "1942" is a group of genre films. It is inevitable to challenge the public's aesthetics with individual preferences!
Let me put it this way, even if "Lost in Thailand" is not disrupting the situation, "1942" will receive an additional 100 million yuan in box office at most.
As for this time and space, Ning Hao's "One Mirror to the End", Shen Mengxi's prediction starts at 800 million!
...
"I'll talk about why I like to charge two more points. The first reason: If the producers can't make money, they will soon transfer to other industries. Creative and content parties cannot get preferential treatment. This is an act that violates the laws of the market. I don't understand what the editorial in the People's Daily is from, and why should it stand in the theaters?
?”
"The second reason: Our film industry is still in its early stages, and if we want to develop, we have to spend money. Who spends money? It must be a producer. Do we need to spend money on theaters?
'Instead of staring at each other's share of the money, it is better to think about how to win back the audience with a better movie.' Who can't say such a thing? Is this the guiding opinion? I am very disappointed! I hope that there will be such a controversial situation next time, and those who don't know how to do things can choose to shut up!"
"In addition, "One Mirror to the End" will be released tomorrow, and we still adopt the step-by-step accounting sharing from last year. Through this incident, I have a deep understanding of everyone - the boss is not enough to make plans with him!"
Shen Mengxi posted a message on Weibo with regret, which was a sentence from Qin Hong, "Life will always be in learning. This incident has made me learn more deeply and see you all." It complements the brightness of...
Qin Hong did even better than Huang Zhonglei - the step-by-step accounting of "1942": 1942 maintains 43%: 57%; the part that exceeds 300 million, 45%: 55%; the part that exceeds 800 million, 47%: 55%…
It is considered incremental accounting!
Qin Hong's "The King's Feast" diminished account: "43% in the first week, 41% in the next week, 39% in the second week, until the next film...
It is completely different. Xingmei became direct opponents with Hua Yi - "The King's Feast" and "1942" were released on the same day!
For a moment, the smoke of gunpowder filled.
Then, "One Scene to the End" was released!
...
Beijing, Jiahe Cinema Main Store, Chen Mengxi is interviewed by reporters:
"Doesn't there be bad movies in Hollywood? Some. I watched "Affiliated Beauty" two days ago, directed "The Devil Wearing Prada", and wrote "The Wall Street Money Never Sleeping". The cast includes Will Smith, Helen Miller, Kate Winslet, Edward Norton, and a full Oscar lineup. It made a bad movie. Why is it bad? It's hard to say. The photography and editing scripts are not bad, and they are a gorgeous flock together. But industry can ensure that the film is within the range that can be watched. How can it be guaranteed without industry?
”
"It is difficult to control quality without a complete industry behind it. Good movies can only rely on luck, because you can't guarantee that people in every link are professional. As long as people in one link lose their links, the movie is likely to be bad."
“So, I always emphasize industrialization!”
"What I've been doing is the path to industrialization of movies..."
"Band-Aid" is also an industrial product. Although the story logic is a little problem, the actors performed well, and the photography and lighting were particularly in place. This is also the reason why the movie can successfully recover and make profits..."
"This time is the best time. In the future... it will be difficult. As the market expands, there will be no more forced theaters..."
"Okay, ask some other questions!"
Chen Mengxi took the initiative to change the topic, and the reporter did not continue to ask...
It can be seen that he is angry.
"What kind of story does "One Mirror to the End" tell?"
"Tell me how a bad movie was born..."
“I heard that creativity is what you provide?”
"Yes...including "Lost in Thailand" that we will release later, both movies are comedy!"
"Then you predict the box office..."
Chen Mengxi thought about it seriously, and then said in a calm tone: "This year's New Year holiday, I am planning to take away the box office of 2 billion!"
The reporter who asked him was startled and asked quickly: "Two billion? Are you sure?"
Are you sure you didn’t add one more zero, and you said 200 million is 2 billion?
"I never speak loudly," Chen Mengxi smiled with a crooked mouth: "The two movies I said took away 2 billion is just a preliminary speculation!"
"You can write this sentence in the report, just say that I, Chen Mengxi, said: "One Mirror to the End" and "Lost in Thailand" will work together to earn 2 billion box offices!"
The prophet finished speaking...
After pretending to be a pussy, Chen Mengxi went to the backstage and saw Mr. Ge who was sitting on a rest chair and closed his eyes to rest...
"One Mirror to the End" premiered, Mr. Ge, Huang Bo, Hu Ge, and Zhao Liying, who plays Mr. Ge's daughter, are all here...
However, no one can catch up with Mr. Ge's recognition - at least at this stage.
Mr. Ge habitually does enough psychological construction before going to the stage.
If he knew what Chen Mengxi said just now, he would probably not be so nervous...
Some heads point to Chenmengxi!
Chapter completed!
