Chapter 27 Indian Movies (1/5)
(A few interesting words, all deleted...)
The May Day holiday is worth talking about. Before the release, Director Zhang Hongsen posted a message, saying that these films are all sincere works, which are different from the shoddy domestic films before. The three film companies also expressed their opinions that we are indeed different this time, and we are very sincere!
It’s useless. Not only are it stomped by "Moon 2", but it also stomped on them even after "Speed 8" released for half a month...
May Day is a medium-level schedule. Although it only lasts three days, it cannot be given up to Hollywood blockbusters...
Logically speaking, during May Day, "Speed 8" had been released for three weeks, and the cinema regulars have basically watched this movie, and there is not much attraction. They forgot that the passerby effect!
During May Day, "Speed 8" attracted most passers-by - they often only watch movies once or twice a year, without any special orientation, and they will watch whoever is famous.
There is also a point of view, which is very interesting: why do these domestic films with good quality choose such a schedule that is crushed by big players instead of the upcoming domestic film protection month.
Even "Moon 2" is released on May Day?
There is "Speed 8" in the first place, and there is the schedule for "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" in the second place?
Nonsense, you are also crushed and crushed by foreign commercial masterpieces, and there is still a way out. If you encounter the "Building" series, you will be done with someone else's external tricks!
...
Wen Ziren came to visit the set, and Lu Xiaoran's first sentence was "Escape from the Deadly Town"...
"The Breaking Destiny is very good!"
"…Indeed, no one expected that a small cost of $4.5 million could earn such a high box office!"
"Escape from the Deadly Town", written and directed by Jordan Peel, a low-cost suspense horror film, with a local box office of US$140 million in North America and a cumulative global box office of US$255 million, which is a pretty good performance for a horror film with a cost of only US$4.5 million.
Forget it, ‘yes’ is considered a malicious derogation. In Hollywood in the past decade, its input-output rate can be said to be among the best!
"The key reputation is OK!"
“…Yes, no one expected it!”
Jordan Peel is a comedian and has been roaming with his good friend Kogan Michael Kay, leaving behind various short films of "There is Hip Hop in Prison" - the big guys can post a picture, and the little dreadlocks take a shower and the soap falls off...
"When will the Great Wall 2 start filming?"
"Start now... We contacted Daniel Craig, he offered $12 million, what do you think?"
Daniel Craig, James Bond…
Wan Ziren is the producer of "The Knife Out", responsible for casting.
Lu Xiaoran thought about it for a while and asked, "What about Chris?"
"He is willing to reduce his salary to 8 million..."
"Okay, then let's both of them."
The two leading actors were done, and Wan Ziren breathed a sigh of relief: "When will the crew start preparations?"
"Next month, I will have to go back to China after filming "Detective Chinatown 2"..."
Wan Ziren nodded, and then asked a question that troubled book friends: "Don't you participate in the later stage of the movie?"
"Of course, I control the participation, editing, color tuning, special effects, and soundtrack!"
"Then...why did you take pictures one by one?"
"No, look at it, editing, color tuning, special effects, and soundtracking, I'm not the most professional. Of course, these things are left to professionals. I'm only responsible for the acceptance!"
"Well, you're too relieved about your movie!"
This seems a bit incredible to Wan Ziren. After he has been in trouble for so long, he has the right to decide on a movie after joining Orange - the most important post-production right!
Lu Xiaoran rarely edits his own movies...
"Movies are division of labor... By the way, I'll introduce you to a few actors..."
Wen Ziren followed Lu Xiaoran to the crew of "Detective Chinatown 2"...
...
On the other hand, "Wrestle, Dad" is released.
This is a good movie!
It is also controversial. If you put the background in China, you will definitely be criticized for your own misconceptions - you will try your best to squeeze your daughter for your dreams: a female film that is full of patriarchy and patriarchy. The daughter has no choice and is brutally educated by her father to become a world champion...
But this is an Indian movie: In the social situation in India, women do not have the atmosphere of free choice of careers, and they can only be established. Just like what the father said to his daughter in the film: You are not fighting for you alone, you want thousands of women to see that girls are not only able to take care of their husbands and children.
Can't find faults: Whether it's narrative or emotional, it's very good!
Of course, Douban scores of 9.2 are still relatively high - look at movies of the same level, "The Godfather", "The Past of the United States", and "The Seven Warriors"!
"Wrestle, Dad" is a standard, templated Hollywood-style sports inspirational film, like "The Road to Glory", "Coach Carter", and "The Iron Fist Man".
The routines are all ready-made: a player (group) who is not favored by others, after training and hard training, continues to defeat his opponents and reach the peak. Then he suffers major setbacks, falls into a trough, and begins to be confused. Then he regains his heart due to some spiritual perception and completes redemption through a major final.
The finals must be suppressed first and then promoted, first being suppressed and beaten, and then because of some enlightenment, the film will be defeated and won at a critical moment, and the movie will be perfect.
It’s not that movies have bad routines. This is a good way to make movies through practice and try every means. However, such movies lack pioneering and deeper connotations. There are many movies that can be compared with them, and they are still quite far from being "great".
Perhaps it is because Aamir Khan’s three views that fit a lot of reality, and the audience is willing to praise him...
Moreover, the domestic movies released at the same time are really...
Unbearable!
Come, let's take a look: "Trouble Family", "Eat Love", "Restaurant" - Li Ming's first directorial work, "Beauty Needle", "Holding Heart, Holding the Bold", "Every Unexpectedly"...
If you give a score, you will also increase by two points!
As for those who are picking up their problems, if they change wrestling to beauty pageants, models, etc., they probably won’t be so indignant!
Aamir Khan has a certain reputation in China. "Three Idiots Make a Fight for Bollywood" and "My God" have a good reputation and are also popular.
"Wrestle, Dad" has taken a very strange box office route, with 15.76 million on the first day, 87.17 million on the first weekend, 7 days after the next week, close to 300 million box office, and in the third week, close to 400 million box office. In the fourth week, it encountered the impact of "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" and still won 200 million box office...
Become the first Indian movie to exceed one billion in the mainland!
