Chapter 40 April (4/4)
From a purely market perspective, there is no problem with the film market!
"Zootopia" has a box office of nearly 1.6 billion, and "Batman v Superman" has a box office of over 600 million...
But domestic movies don’t seem to be that powerful anymore.
In March last year, "The Vengeful" strongly took home a box office of 1.24 billion. In March this year, it was quite embarrassing. The box office fraud incident of "Ip Man 3" brought the turbulent secret operations of capital to the forefront. It was eventually exposed by the industry and its reputation gradually deteriorated.
Later, the film's box office suffered a sharp decline, and it lost its market competitiveness as a film itself...
Forget about losing competitiveness, the credibility of key industries has dropped significantly.
"Be careful with your heart and your courage"...
The bailout failed.
Niche themes are niche themes after all, and if they are not commercial enough, they are not enough...
The reputation was polarized. After 270 million in the first weekend, it plummeted to 30 million in a single day on weekdays.
Not surprisingly, this movie has a box office of up to 400 million...
However, in April there will be a release of "The Legend of Evil", which I guess can make a comeback...
"The Evil Dead" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" are mainly released in April, and will be released on April 1st and April 25th.
This situation is actually quite normal - in the original time and space, 2016 was called the turning point of the film and television industry.
The mediocre box office performance of films such as "Grand Trail", "Summer Trees in Paradise" and "To Youth: So You're Still Here" also herald the fan films and youth films that have dominated the market for many years, including the "traffic star + big IP" formula
has failed, and the era of content being king is gradually taking shape.
This is a good thing in the long run!
Audience viewing quality is improving...
("Life Events" is really good!)
Shen Changlin didn't have any objections to this, and he didn't have time to write a short essay or anything like that. The filming of the TV series was really exhausting...
I have heard before that in order to save costs, they often rush to film. The filming lasts for several months. The whole team lives in hotels and stays up late is commonplace...
When it comes to acting on your own, it’s really like this!
For three months, the workload every day was astonishing. If I couldn't finish it, I had to work overtime...
In addition, the filming of TV series is different from that of movies. Movie project cycle is long, preparation time is sufficient, budget is sufficient, and personnel are available, so in theory, movie director is a position where you can dawdle.
You read, write, and revise the script. There are screenwriters, there are storyboard artists who draw the shots, there are executive directors who direct the actors, there are executive directors who control the scene, there are artists who build the scenes, there are directors of photography when shooting...
Everyone is very professional, so the director doesn't even need to be there during filming.
Because there is a detailed shot script, you can just follow it and shoot.
But TV dramas are not good, the storyboards either don’t have them, or they are prepared in a hurry and without details, and there are not that many staff members. The director needs to be on-site to direct how to shoot, and it really can’t work without the director present!
Therefore, it is also important to do the work.
Regarding actors' acting skills, filming a TV series is more of a routine...
Therefore, TV dramas need actors with professional backgrounds. They have undergone extensive training and have a ready-made system for expressing a certain emotion, so that they can quickly reach a performance level that is acceptable to the audience.
Without professional training, it is difficult to achieve this effect!
Because of the size of the broadcast media - the screen size of a movie theater is larger than that of a TV screen or a computer screen. A larger screen can display more information and richer details...
When an actor acts in a movie, the first thing is to get into the role. Once you get into the role, no matter how you act, it will be right.
But some actors lack the ability to empathize...
I can’t get into the play!
Not all actors can act in movies, because the screen will amplify the actor's performance hundreds of times, and the actor's lack of control over his acting skills can easily magnify his shortcomings.
Similarly, not all actors can act in TV series...
Do you think I want to give an example of a fairy?
I'm not that brave.
Let’s talk about the leader. In fact, in all the movies he starred in, there was no close-up lasting more than 5 seconds. However, in "The White-Haired Witch", the director gave Huang a close-up of the kiss scene that lasted longer than 5 seconds. The effect was really sour...
As for the actor’s quality and so on...
If you really want to be awesome, why not act in a drama?
It is recognized in the industry that acting in drama is the most stylish and the most sacred way of performance, and movies are the second best...
…
After entering the shooting state, Shen Changlin's daily life became 'click', 'pass' and 'Chen Yao, pay attention to staring at Teacher Liu's eyes, don't be embarrassed!'
Hidden rules?
Sleep with Nini?
Get some sleep, you don’t have time!
He felt that everything was wrong.
The biological clock is completely disrupted.
Suddenly I felt very sorry for these TV drama directors.
For domestic first-line TV drama directors, the labor fee for one episode is the most 180,000 yuan.
For second-tier movies, it’s 100,000 per episode, and for 40 episodes, it’s 4 million.
A first-line film of 20 episodes would cost almost 4 million...
The director has no endorsements to earn yet.
Where does the endorsement come from behind the scenes?
Therefore, in the face of traffic, small fresh meat, TV drama directors are actually at a disadvantage - if it doesn't work, I'll replace you!
Back to the topic, Shen Changlin seemed a little absent-minded during the shooting today...
Fortunately, today's shooting was mainly indoor scenes.
Forward and reverse shooting, large flat light, three units are enough!
The reason why Shen Changlin seemed absent-minded was because Liu Qianqian was coming over later...
She... also came to visit the class.
It can also be said that it is here to connect with each other...
The filming of "Passing Through Your World" has been completed. According to her original schedule, she should travel to relax, or her agent should help her pick up new movies. Isn't this because she is worried about Shen Changlin's condition!
I deliberately adjusted the time, and as soon as the movie was finished, I came over to visit the team secretly...
It's really a secret, hidden from the crew, especially from Shi Shi...
Once you accept the identity of your lover, you will automatically take over.
Shen Changlin...the reason why he was absent-minded was not because he was afraid of being photographed by the media - the hotel they were staying at had extremely strong security, let alone being photographed, even a fly flying in would be awesome!
He is mainly worried that his state will affect his subsequent performance...
It's not his style to surrender early!
Thinking back then, when did you not start with ten things?
In fact, there is no need for it, something more embarrassing than this has happened before - the first time I vomited before I even got two pieces.
This time, I managed to hold on to 4 items!
Although some conditions are not good, it is still better than the first time...
Sure enough, Sissi watched him skillfully take out a pack of cigarettes from the bedside table, lit one, and frowned: "...Why do you smoke?"
Shen Changlin blew out a smoke ring: "I'm so irritated... It's so annoying to film a TV series!"
"...No matter how irritated you are, you shouldn't smoke... Smoking is harmful to your health."
"I know, I just smoke one once in a while..."
Sissi nodded, did not continue to discuss this, and changed the subject: "I finished filming "Passed Through Your World"!"
"How does it feel?"
"...I can't say," Liu Qianqian frowned, and then said, "I feel pretty good, the story selection is quite good!"
Shen Changlin nodded: "Zhang Yibai's eyesight is pretty good!"
"Passing Through Your World" is of course a bad movie, but it doesn't mean that the story is bad. The view of love that the movie wants to express can still be understood - some love means that you give everything, but it is just pressure for others.
It's a pity that it's either a matter of ability or shooting, and the movie is a mess!
"Then how much do you think our movie will have at the box office?"
Shen Changlin was speechless: "How would I know...I haven't even watched the movie!"
"You used to be able to roughly judge the box office just by reading the script."
Chapter completed!
