Shen Changlin actually doesn't need a character.

But...who doesn't want a better reputation?

Of course, you can’t overdo it – after all, you are the director!

When he mentions it, he must be thinking of works, not famous quotes...

Like pants, he is obviously a director. When mentioning him, the first thing he says is, "I am so lonely and desperate" or "If I don't make movies, what will the Chinese people watch?"

There is a degree in this!

Shen Changlin's method is to minimize his presence. Except for the promotion period, he rarely expresses his opinions. Even if he posts short essays on Weibo, he is focused on the movie itself.

Never get involved in industry matters.

Unless it involves him...

Talking back to the phone, following Shen Changlin's slightly threatening words, the other end of the phone was obviously a little panicked, and then a man's voice came: "Director Shen, this is Wang Han... We are recording "Mars Intelligence Agency"!"

"Brother Han...are you recording a show? Why would Li Chun say such a thing? She is so honest on the crew, so she doesn't look like such a brave person!"

"Does Director Shen know about "Mars Intelligence Agency"?"

"Of course, it's the show that Brother Li does..."

The producer of "Mars Intelligence Agency" is Li Wei, the former deputy director of the office of Mango Channel. He and Wang Han are colleagues. This is also the reason why "Mars Intelligence Agency" follows the team of "Tian Tian Shang Shang"...

"Director, what kind of person is Li Chun in your eyes?"

"A good actor can endure loneliness and doesn't follow the crowd to gain so-called network resources. I like actors like this very much..."

"Will you cooperate in the future?"

"...Probably," Shen Changlin smiled and said: "Today's young actors either have no acting skills or no professional ethics, and more often than not, neither. People like Li Chun have professional qualities and work hard without complaining. There are fewer and fewer young actresses, keep it up, my little fellow!"

"Fellow fellow?"

"She is just like me, we are both from AH!"

After a brief chat, we hung up the phone—without taking the opportunity to invite him to record an episode of "Mars Intelligence Agency"...

Wang Han also knew that Shen Changlin rarely appeared on variety shows. Even if he was invited, Shen Changlin would definitely not come. In this case, why would he ask for trouble?

However, he immediately asked about Li Chun: "I heard that in the film industry, directors and actresses often fall in love over scenes. Can Director Shen do that?"

Li Chunle was delighted: "I think it's impossible. "The Eight Hundred" is a war film. Not to mention whether there are female characters in the film, just conceiving and shooting every day almost exhausted his energy...During the filming, he only slept every day. For three to five hours, his mind was filled with filming, and I don’t think he had time to think about it!”

"And Director Shen usually chooses male dramas..."

"Actually, the director's power is not as great as everyone thinks. The media likes to find actors and directors. In fact, many times, actors are selected by producers or sponsors, and they cannot be moved if their acting skills are poor..."

"Is the same true for Director Shen?"

"He is an exception!" Li Chun interjected: "He never attends cocktail parties, and he doesn't deal with those people in private. When casting, he can use whoever he wants without worrying about other people's opinions!"

…

Shen Changlin's casting really doesn't involve casting whoever he wants, nor does he choose actors based on their roles...

At least that wasn't the case in the early days.

In the past, he had to consider the actor's reputation when selecting roles.

Why is "Xiu Chun Dao" about the Deng Dynasty?

Why is it Wu Jing in "Big Shot"?

"The Treasure Hunt", "The Thieves", "The Wrongs"...

It wasn't until "Eight Hundred" that I gradually only considered the suitability of the character!

By the way, consider the actor's character and so on.

All this has to add a prerequisite: it is one of our own people.

He still respects movies. Although he regards it as a career, he uses methods acceptable to the public...

He is the pioneer of the model of 'big IP + small meat + traffic' - "Left Ear", and the release date of "The Year in a Hurry" is even earlier than that of "Tiny Times"!

"Left Ear" took in nearly 600 million box office, higher than "The Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate";

"The Year in a Hurry" directly took in 800 million box office, directly pushing Liu Shishi to the position of the highest-grossing actress in a single film;

But he didn't abuse...

After these two films, they immediately changed direction. Changlin Film and Television only produced works with large investments...

Of course, Tianxia Entertainment has inherited this model, but Tianxia Entertainment and Changlin Film and Television share a writing team, so the youth entertainment produced by Tianxia Entertainment, including works created by pan-IP, has a passing reputation!

But the investment market does not recognize scripts, especially after the influx of hot money. The information received by many laypeople is different from the real professional market.

Still the same sentence: It takes at least two years from planning to scheduled release of a movie. If you are an outsider, investing in a movie is gambling, which is equivalent to judging whether a stock will rise or fall in two or many years.

There are also some 'professional' ones who want to control profits and losses - the quality of a literary and artistic work depends on professionalism, but professionalism does not mean that it will be a hit.

They prefer that things can be simplified to a formula like "1+1+1=3", preferably to find an X element...

The criteria for a good movie are good story + good acting + good production.

But in the market, most of the time, a good story + good acting + good production will usually sell well, but it will not become a hit!

The Internet has changed these - big IP + traffic means sales!

This is how the project "Tomb Robbers Notes" was created - Lu Han + Jing Boran + "Tomb Robbers Notes" IP...

"Tomb Robber Notes" was produced very seriously. From the project establishment stage, it was decided to "rob tombs", idolize, and sell corruption. Although "Jingjue Ancient City" was a big seller, online public opinion did not like this movie.

good.

After all, tomb robbing is the original sin!

Since you are named "Tomb Raiders Notes", it means that you have the mystery of original sin...

Don't say, 'In the original work, only the third uncle is considered a tomb robber, Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling are not counted...', you are calling it "Tomb Robbers Notes"!

So, he very cleverly set up a dialogue between a writer and Wu Xie: "You are talking nonsense. This is not what you told the editor last time."

"I have another story. In that story, our first adventure was in the Qixing Lu Palace. Later, Aning died, Pan Zi died, Dakui died, and the third uncle and the younger brother disappeared. I am now

Just go find them.'

Directly turning the movie into a story!

The box office of "Tomb Robbers" on the first day was 154 million. Adding in the 34 million in advance tickets, the total is 188 million, exceeding the 122 million of "Eight Hundred"...

The box office the next day was 120 million, and "The Eight Hundred" was 142 million...

That's right, it failed to beat "The Eight Hundred" the following weekend - "Tomb Raiders" had a box office of 402 million in its first weekend, while "The Eight Hundred" had a box office of 440 million in the second weekend!

"The Eight Hundred" has been in theaters for ten days, with a cumulative box office of 1.78 billion...

It's still a problem with this mode - when you see a little fresh meat, you will get negative points and get thicker!

The reputation of "Tomb Raiders" on Douban is only a pitiful 4.9 points. Well, the main reason is because what fans of "Tomb Raiders" saw when they entered the cinema was not the "Tomb Raiders" they wanted to see at all, but two big men.

They sell rot!

By the way, in addition to "Tomb Raiders", there is also "Xia You Qiao, Ya Wang Paradise" and "My Best Friend's Wedding" starring Shu Qi, and the market performance is very low...

The original box office of "Summer Trees" was only 150 million, but this time it was even lower, only 68 million in the first weekend...

"The Evil God"

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" only makes my anus tighten...

Even on August 8th, a working day, "Eight Hundred" still received 76 million in a single day, which was nearly 20 million more than "Tomb Raiders". On August 9th, the Chinese Valentine's Day, "Eight Hundred" earned another 1.66 in a single day.

billion, and the cumulative box office exceeded 2 billion!

It became the fourth film in film history to exceed 2 billion, and the third film to exceed 2 billion this year...
Chapter completed!
