Chapter 39 The Coal Boss...It's Good (Part 1)

For a long period of time, our creators only had themselves and no one else, and it was difficult to consider creation from the perspective of the audience.

Even after being taught a lesson, they have become much more sensitive.

They think they understand the audience, but that's just their own perception.

At least, the audience is not as stupid as they think.

But on another creative path, many of us creators have also encountered obstacles, which is the sixth generation creative path - the so-called creation with your back to the audience.

Turning your back to the audience requires you to really have something.

But what we see is that they are poaching, lifting corners, and exposing privacy.

They are proud of discovering stains and sins, and they flaunt their anger and responsibility by exposing these unclean things!

But what the movie needs is beauty.

Movies need a kind of mainstream values, which are now things that many creators look down on or think are old-fashioned, such as love, happiness, family, justice, etc.

We can only see depression and ugliness...

But this is a good thing!

Because the audience doesn’t buy it…

The market has the most sensitive physique. When it finds that speculation cannot achieve its goal, it may return to the origin of things and use movie quality and typing to please the audience.

Therefore, you can clearly feel that the quality of movies on the market is increasing!

——The market's demand for high-quality movies has forced China's film industry to make changes.

Movies are a tool for class transition and a tool for making money. From this perspective, there must be many people who are interested in movies!

There is nothing shameful about making money from a movie, on the contrary, it is also a compliment to the creator!

What is shameful is robbery and fraudulent publicity. This also means that the creators have insufficient confidence in their own works. Otherwise, why would they use fraudulent publicity?



From January to April, for more than a hundred days, the film market was completely crushed by Hollywood.

"Mission Impossible 4", "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2", "Alien Battlefield", "Wrath of the Gods"...

In other words, "Search" achieved a counterattack in the cold March period.

But soon, "Titanic 3D" is also coming...

Yin Hong changed the subject: "To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, the classic disaster romance movie "Titanic" will return to the big screen in 3D, and it is confirmed to be introduced in the mainland. What do you think of this movie?"

What is commemorative or not? I just want to make money!

Shen Changlin said it first: "Actually, it's just cutting leeks, but this is not the first of 20th Century Fox. The first movie to be converted to 3D was "The Lion King". Disney re-released it on a small scale in North America, but it aroused enthusiastic response after its release and won consecutive awards.

It topped the box office for two weeks, so Disney broke the original plan and extended the release for another week."

"20th Century Fox saw that Disney had taken advantage of others, so of course it was not to be outdone. The 3D version of "Star Wars" has also returned to the big screen. The first part of the Star Wars series, "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace," has been released, with a box office of 33 million in North America.

U.S. dollars, 37 million U.S. dollars overseas, and a global cumulative box office of 70 million U.S. dollars. The results are quite outstanding."

"Cut leeks?"

"Otherwise, it won't be released globally on April 4th, because April 14th is the centenary anniversary!"

"So what do you remember about Titanic?"

""Titanic" is the first Hollywood blockbuster I watched. In addition to the realistic special effects, the most important thing is the love between Rose and Jack in the story. The aristocratic lady falls in love with the poor boy and gets rid of the aristocratic fiancé who is a good match but does not love her.

, I finally lived my true self in the new world. That was the first time I felt that a movie was beautiful!"

"Later I studied filmmaking and often looked back at old movies. I watch "Titanic" every year..."

Lu Chuan also replied: "I was very touched. In fact, when I watched it, I reminded myself from the beginning that this is a movie and there is no need to take it too seriously. But after watching it, I really couldn't help but shed tears..."

Shen Changlin whispered to Ning Hao next to him: "Senior Brother Lu Chuan is so full of emotions. Every time I see him in the media, I always burst into tears."

Ning Hao was so happy that Yin Hong noticed the situation and asked: "I heard that director Ning Hao's new film "The Golden Heist" deliberately chose April to compete with "Titanic 3D"?"

Ning Hao quickly waved his hand: "I don't dare to believe the outside world's claim that "The Golden Heist" is used to fight against Hollywood. The real situation is to survive in the cracks. I don't think we can compete with Hollywood. The industrial level is not enough, so we can only Fight guerrilla warfare!”

"Chang Lin thinks so too?"

"Well, otherwise, I wouldn't rush to have "Search" released in March."

"It is said that Chang Lin is an expert in box office forecasting, so tell us about the box office of "Titanic 3D"!"

Shen Changlin thought about it and then said: "At least 800 million. If you are lucky, one billion is not impossible!"

There was silence for a while, everyone thought it was unlikely...

The outside world generally believes that "Titanic 3D" is just a re-released movie, with a volume of about 300 million.

In fact, after the release of "Titanic Money Making Edition", the power of emotion and 3D is unstoppable. What's even more strange is that the film has not become a big hit worldwide, except in mainland China - the total box office of re-releases is 344 million worldwide. U.S. dollars, with mainland China contributing more than half!

The key is to search the forum. A bunch of people expressed how happy they were to have bought the tickets, cheering for the big ship, and happy for Little Plum.

I'm so happy Der, in the "money-making version", Leo won't get a dime!

Not only was the box office extremely high in the first week, but there was a bit of a slowdown later on, as domestic films were left behind, and even Hollywood's own people were not spared.

"Battleship" is the worst. It was a head-on collision. It was supposed to have a box office of at least 500 million, but only over 300 million...

Even "Avengers" has been affected!



After the symposium ended, no one asked Shen Changlin why he made his judgment.

It ended without any embarrassment. Ning Hao pulled Shen Changlin and insisted on inviting him to dinner.

We arrived at a vegetarian restaurant called Feng He Ju.

“…Vegetarian restaurant?”

"This is opened by Sister Yan... Big Dog Brother and Wife, please order it!"

"...Oh..." Shen Changlin expressed understanding. When he saw a series of vegetarian dishes on the menu and high prices... he couldn't bear it anymore: "Can we change to another restaurant? I want to eat meat!"

"...Okay, let's go eat roast leg of lamb!"

"good!"

After changing to a hotel and requesting a private room, the two of them sat down. Ning Hao asked, "Do you really think "Titanic 3D" can be a big hit?"

"Of course, everything I say in public situations comes from the bottom of my heart."

"...This is terrible, my "Golden Heist" will be on the 26th!"

"I know...but didn't you spend much money on that movie?"

"How do I spend money...the action scenes are huge!"

Shen Changlin raised his eyebrows: "You're still pretending? I mean the investment money was given by the coal boss. If it's wasted, it's wasted!"

Ning Hao swallowed: "You...how do you know about the coal boss?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Look who the heroine is! If no one spent money, would you choose her?"
Chapter completed!
