Chapter 5 The first objection (1/3)
The audience is very popular.
There are many young actresses in the entertainment industry nowadays. Some of them become famous after filming an advertisement, while others act as the protagonists several times but are not well-known.
Some agents will give this conclusion to girls who have just entered the circle: she will not become famous and will not have the protagonist appearance.
In fact, there are other conditions besides having the protagonist's appearance.
First, in a specific era, the characters created must meet the spiritual needs of the society at that time. Each era is different. The overall spiritual needs of society will be supplied in the roles of film and television works; second, whether the stars themselves look enough to interpret this role.
This is called audience connection!
Only when the two complement each other can they become popular.
The audience is very mysterious.
It has nothing to do with beauty and ugliness, style, and the saddest thing is that it has nothing to do with acting.
There seems to be no specific details and methods that can be described, it is just a feeling.
Bao Beier is such a typical case!
As an actor, what people remember is the groomsman's incident...
Insert, Tangtang hates him very much.
...
Zhong Lifang and Zhang Jin are thinking about the films released.
"Great Wall 2" is released in North America on October 19th, and it is decided to introduce the screening simultaneously...
The problem is, on the 19th, four new works were released: "Baby", "Defendant", "Kung Fu League" and "Writing Poems for You"...
There are too many new movies!
The most important thing is that it is likely to affect the filming schedule of "The Unknown"...
Lu Xiaoran quickly got into the state: "What do you say from Wanda?"
The Great Wall series is still a Sino-US co-production film. Wanda and Orange each invest 30%, while Orange Manufacturing and Warner are responsible for the other 40%...
In other words, this year's North American summer season, the other five Hollywood majors were defeated by Disney - "Avengers 3" and "Superman 2" two films added to one piece to win nearly 1.3 billion yuan in North American local box office...
Fortunately, Warner has made Orange, which released five new works, "Purge of Humanity 4", "Silent Land 2", "Breaking the Door", "Soul Universe - Nun" and "Crazy Legend". Although only the last two movies won over 100 million US dollars, the cost is low!
Five movies, North America lost $300 million, helping Warner win the second-ranked share and surpassing Universal with "Jurassic World 2"...
Disney's acquisition of Fox is a foregone conclusion, and Universal and Warner are getting closer...
Back at the conference center, Zhang Jin: "They want to arrange "Great Wall 2" into the National Day holiday..."
“…This is impossible!”
"There aren't a few movies that Wanda has bet this year... They are also anxious!"
In the movie market, there are winners and losers.
The biggest loser this summer is undoubtedly the two major squared releases of "Asura": Ningxia Film and Zhenjian Film...
Then there are the Huayi brothers...
Or, there is no winner except for Oranges!
Three hits have taken away 70% of the box office in the summer...
Lu Xiaoran shook his head slightly: "Wanda has also participated in the production of "The Golden Captain", and they produced and released "Take My Brother Away" which is quite good!"
"Take My Brother Away" has a production fund of 35 million yuan, which has earned nearly 400 million yuan in box office results.
This result can be called a small explosion.
"Maybe I'm jealous..."
Lu Xiaoran did not comment...
As the saying goes, the market is so big, you occupy it all, but you are ignorant!
A big tree attracts wind!
Any casual movie is a hit, with a box office starting at least one billion...
"Detective Chinatown 2", "Living in Time and Space", "I Am Not a God of Medicine", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "The Golden Captain", "A Good Show", and "The Origin of the White Snake" with the box office that has exceeded 700 million...
How many?
It's 18.6 billion!
"The Warriors Prequel" has a work of at least 2 billion, plus the doomed hit "The Great Wall 2" and "Walking with Gods"...
What do you Orange want to do?
The maximum box office of 65 billion yuan a year is only 40%, and there are 36 billion yuan left. How about you occupy all the market?
Lu Xiaoran doesn't care about these external voices...
This year, next year is the two years of harvest in the five-year plan.
...
"Next summer season, the universe of the Gods will officially kick off. In addition to animated movies, the Detective Tang Cinema Universe will also take shape. My current idea is to create a martial arts movie universe!"
“…”Sword Rain”?”
"That's right!"
Lu Xiaoran was excited: "I am going to connect with the Ming Dynasty..."
Zhong Lifang sighed: "Xiaoran, martial arts is no longer popular now!"
"A genre film always has ups and downs, and popular fashion and interests change."
Of course Lu Xiaoran understands these...
The decline of martial arts films and TV dramas corresponds to the decline of martial arts and original martial arts scripts.
"Legend of the Ancient and Modern Martial Arts Edition" has praised the last group of original martial arts creators.
After physical magazines declined, major original literary websites were not good at martial arts.
Without creation, there will be no adaptation.
Many of the costume dramas you have watched are many powerful martial arts dramas, but they are not martial arts dramas. Including Jin Guliang, who has been remade countless times, gradually loses the flavor of martial arts and becomes a campus love story packaged by martial arts.
Martial arts are not good, martial arts are not burning, and the martial arts world is a place where the surface is full of romanticism but is actually extremely realistic.
In good martial arts works, you may not find too much sense of substitution.
Each era has corresponding popular culture. The fairy tale and cultivation palace fighting power and plotting against Mary Sue Jack Su, which is more in line with the public's leisure needs in the fast food culture atmosphere.
After a while of silence, Lu Xiaoran asked, "... Then why don't you object to me when I'm filming "Sword Rain"?"
"What do we oppose for your drama?"
That's right, even if it's a boring story, it will be very interesting to shoot it, at least one billion box office...
"Let me do this, I'll add an easter egg to "Sword Rain". If the audience is interested, then I'll continue shooting. How about it?"
Zhong Lifang looked at Zhang Jin, nodded, and the former continued to ask: "What are our plans for science fiction movies?"
"Aren't you agreeing to create a few science fiction works around Liu Cixin first, and then consider changing the works of other science fiction writers!"
"I'm more worried that after the release of "The Wandering Earth", the original science fiction work will be hoarded by other companies..."
"If you like to stock up, science fiction movies are not ordinary works. If you have IP, you can develop them?"
Lu Xiaoran doesn't care at all...
"Shanghai Fortress" is also a big IP in the Chinese local science fiction industry. Science fiction fans may be second only to Liu's "Three-Body Problem", and what?
No matter how awesome an IP is, you need to meet the right person before you can be developed!
Lu Xiaoran said so, Zhong Lifang and the others shut up...
After the meeting, Lu Xiaoran returned to his office and turned on the computer. He was still thinking about the feasibility of the movie universe of "Sword Rain + Daming"...
Zhong Lifang brought two cups of coffee and walked in, put one of them in front of him, and asked, "You are not worried at all?"
"...You will know tomorrow by looking at your reputation!"
Chapter completed!
