Chapter 875 Looking Ahead... Halfway (2/3)(1/2)
Nolan is not an all-rounder...
His action scene design is very average!
Batman in the "Batman" series is portrayed as the best human martial arts master on earth. He claims to be proficient in 127 kinds of martial arts, but in the movie, his fights look like those of street gangsters...
The whole process is full of bastard boxing!
The action design of "Inception"...
Disappointing!
For example, one of the popular comments on YouTube about "Slaying the Wolf" is related to the Dark Knight - why didn't the Dark Knight hire these Chinese as action directors?
The conversation between directors should be to discuss each other’s shortcomings and then provide guidance for improvement...
Then Nolan is very good at action design...
Why is it not worthy?
"Forget it, I'm not going!"
The assistant nodded: "Well, Wu Jing is like that too. He said he had something to do and couldn't go..."
"He has been in the spotlight recently. It would be best to disappear for a while...what else is going on?"
After "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing almost became a target, and everything he said was over-interpreted...
"...next week there will be an event for the China Film New Power Forum, hosted by the General Administration and the Film Channel...the specifications are quite formal."
‘New Power of Chinese Film’ Forum…
Shen Changlin should know this. The first two sessions were more official, similar to promotion meetings...
A bunch of directors participated with their films.
Shen Changlin was too lazy to go.
This year is different. In a sense, it is a symposium for young filmmakers...
Isn't this the phenomenon of "little fresh meat" being rampant? We need some ideological education...
Can a meeting correct thoughts?
I don’t know, but I take it seriously...
But does this matter have anything to do with Shen Changlin?
He was surprised: "Am I also considered a new power?"
"You are only thirty this year...of course you are a new force. I heard that Huang Xiaoming has gone..."
"...Okay, what time?"
"September 27th!"
"Remember to inform me in advance when the time comes..."
…
Shen Changlin is only thirty years old this year...
In terms of age, he is definitely a young director.
But in terms of qualifications, he has been filming for eight years...
More than ten works!
If you count the projects that include supervision and production, then... there are at least fifty films!
One person has shouldered the responsibility of Changlin...
It’s not like there are no helpers…
Recently, Ning Hao has started the Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Project, planning to support a group of new directors Shen Changlin, Guo Fan, Yang Qing, and Wen Muye who will all serve as executive producers...
Eight new films!
There will definitely be some profits and some losses...
But that's what movies are like.
By the way, the project of "Crazy Alien" has been approved and is confirmed to be released during the Lunar New Year next year.
Based on the expression and core of "Alien", it is best not to release it during the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, people all over the country go to the cinema, so there must be various needs. At this time, those who want to come in to eat potatoes will be dissatisfied if they eat cabbage. .
It will definitely cause confusion in word-of-mouth!
After all, "Alien" is considered an author's film, and one characteristic of author's films is that the more in-depth you talk about something, the more divided the audience will be. When divided, not everyone may have a unified understanding of your topic, and they may not like it. I definitely don’t like it…
Shen Changlin ran a road show for two weeks. The box office of "Knives Out" exceeded 800 million, boosting the global box office to 480 million US dollars. Then, he returned to the capital.
…
"'Spider-Man' and 'War for the Planet of the Apes' did divert a lot of box office revenue..."
"I still haven't done enough suspense... I'm really convinced by those gangsters, the posters are designed like that, a pornographic film, a Henry Cavill, a murder suspense movie, you just pick two people to stand up , one is a detective, and who do you think the other one is?"
"There's no way the whole movie would be complete, the two of them are the most familiar to the audience..."
"Yes, the poster of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" also has two men, one is Sherlock Holmes and the other is Watson..."
"The positions are different!"
At a restaurant near the company, Shen Changlin and a group of people reviewed "Knives Out"...
Review what?
Gains and losses, mainly losses...
Yes, 800 million box office is considered a miss for Shen Changlin...
With the release of "War for the Planet of the Apes"...
There is also the release of "The Invisible Guest" produced by Changlin Film and Television Hong Kong Branch, and the film schedule and discussion of "Knives Out" have dropped sharply.
Only 5% of the films are currently scheduled...
It is estimated that the box office revenue will be around 50 million at most.
After all, "The Invisible Guest" is the focus of Maoyan's release!
By the way, "The Invisible Guest", starring Hui Yinghong, Simon Yam and Brother Hu, cost 35 million. It won 164 million at the box office in the first weekend. It was so popular that Maoyan raised its total box office forecast to 600 million!
"Director Shen? What do you think?"
"…Everything you said is right!"
Shen Changlin smiled and did not answer...
He knew very well that the main reason why "Knives Out" was not a hit was that the plot of the movie was too far away from the Chinese people!
Who has time to care about the family relationships of wealthy Americans?
To watch Hollywood movies, you must watch blockbusters!
If this drama hadn't been directed by Shen Changlin and starred by Huang Bo, it would have been impossible to have the current box office results...
Be content!
The approved film is released, although the introduction cost is 15 million US dollars, but... the copyright owner owns it, it's just the left hand and the right hand!
After chatting for a while, the topic turned to the National Day show - this year’s National Day show is still full of strong people!
"The Showdown" starring Jackie Chan, produced by: Wanda + Sparkle;
Wang Jing's "Chasing the Dragon" is produced by: Yindu Agency + Bona;
Dapeng has "Sewing Machine Band", produced by: Ruyi Media + Guangguang + Wanda;
"Hunting in the Sky", starring Li Chen + Fan Xiaopang.
Then there is "Wushuang", produced by Changlin Film and Television and Tianxia Entertainment.
""Wushuang" can definitely win, but I don't know how much it can win..."
"Jackie Chan, aren't you worried?"
The person in charge of Maoyan shook his head: "The excessive consumption of "Kung Fu Yoga" has caused his reputation to decline to the extreme. The online pre-sales of "British Showdown" are not even as good as "Sky Hunter"!"
"...People's "Sky Hunter" is bound to "Wolf Warrior 2" promotion..."
Shen Changlin watched them chatting quietly and couldn't help but ask Lao Guo: "Are they usually like this?"
"Well," Lao Guo nodded, and then sighed: "You should really check out their answers on Zhihu, Toutiao, and Douban Group 8, and share them. Everyone has nothing they dare to say!"
"...Oh, what did they say?"
"Take this genre film that focuses on young meat from beginning to end..."
"What's this?"
"They also stole many people in the industry, sources of funds and so on..."
"...it's a small matter, just say it, it's just the entertainment industry anyway..."
To be continued...
