One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty-Five. There Is Also Something Particular About Trying to Sell Dog Meat

The temptation of series movies is still quite big.

Moreover, as a director, Fu Rong himself is very clear about the status quo of comedy movies.

Comedy movies may not worry about selling, but they worry about not being able to sell well.

Because since Lin Tao, it can be said that it has been a long time since any comedy movie has a box office of over 1 billion.

When the mainstream of the market began to tend to big productions, comedy movies naturally began to be neglected, and if a theme wanted to continuously expand, develop, and innovate, it relied on continuous trial and error.

But nowadays, comedy movies are no longer favored, and directors naturally like to develop towards more popular themes.

Science fiction, action, drama, etc., which one is not more promising than comedy movies?

After all, almost none of the major domestic directors has achieved success through comedy movies.

It may indeed be difficult for a "People on the Journey" to achieve high achievements, or to say at the box office.

It may be a few hundred million at most.

The ceiling is obvious.

But if it is the beginning of the series, then it is completely different. You know, there is a reason why the series of movies are so popular with big companies.

The reason is that the series of movies has a great bonus effect on each series of movies.

When a series can have several films, the plot of the movie itself does not need to be too exciting.

As long as you don't deviate from the theme, it is not difficult to sell well.

What's more, Wang Yifan also revealed that the follow-up of the series of movies can go from domestic to foreign, don't underestimate this.

The reason why "People on Journey" has an obvious box office ceiling actually has a lot to do with the location where the story takes place.

Although the country is more down-to-earth, but correspondingly, the style is much worse.

Don't underestimate the power of a movie.

Why is "The Devotion of Suspect X" different from other crime mystery films?

It is because this movie is much higher than other movies from the beginning.

In the same way, the first impression of a movie is indeed crucial.

"People on Lost Journey" is the first film in the series. In fact, the box office of this film is secondary, and word of mouth is the most important.

And the series of movies really make more money as they are made, because often follow-up movies, announcements, schedules, etc., will have huge advantages over original movies.

Satisfied, Fu Rong left with the project of "People on the Journey".

It is difficult even for Wang Yifan to reach the sky in one step.

After all, he came up with the script that was once a big seller, but the time was different and the environment was different, and he couldn't guarantee that if the movie was reproduced, it would definitely be able to replicate the success of the other world.

Everything is changing, the only constant is change!

For example, the box office of "People on Journey" was only about 30 million at the time, but it was already considered a big seller.

But if it is placed now, the daily box office is less than 30 million, which can almost be said to have failed to meet expectations.

This is where the biggest difference lies.

After Fu Rong came out, Fang Xiongfei and Mi Huayuan looked at him curiously.

"How?" Fang Xiongfei asked curiously.

Fu Rong smiled and said: "As expected of being a gold medal screenwriter, as worthy of being the director Wang who can turn stones into gold, you will know when you go in. In short, we are the lucky ones!"

Fu Rong really felt that he was really lucky, because he knew that many directors could actually make a movie like "On the Journey".

Such a script is not too rare, but what is difficult is Wang Yifan's idea of ​​making this movie into a series of movies.

And he, as the initiator of this project, so naturally, he does not say that he has absolute certainty in the follow-up movies, but he already has an advantage over anyone else.

Thinking that he was still disappointed by Wang Yifan's story before, he couldn't help shaking his head.

Fortunately, Wang Yifan is not the kind of narrow-minded person, otherwise, he might not really choose himself.

The second one is Fang Xiongfei.

Fang Xiongfei's real appearance can be said to be ugly. He is really not tall, only about 1.6 meters.

But he looks a little handsome.

He's the handsome uncle type.

"Director Wang, President Dai!" After Fang Xiongfei came in, he seemed more relaxed.

"Director Fang, to be honest, after reading your profile, my first reaction was that you are a fairy director." Wang Yifan couldn't help but said with a smile.

"Haha, I made Director Wang laugh. There is no way. Sometimes, theaters are in a hurry, so I can only shoot in sets. The props, scenes, and actors are all ready-made, and the plot is almost the same, so the speed is natural. It's coming soon." Of course Fang Xiongfei knew what Wang Yifan was talking about.

In fact, he himself is quite proud of it.

To put it bluntly, Fang Xiongfei is definitely the number one character among domestic horror films.

"What does Director Fang think he is best at?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

When Fang Xiongfei heard the words, he immediately became a lot more serious.

Although he has always shown a contented and happy look, which director does not have a real dream of being a great director?

If it wasn't impossible, who would want to make those movies?

But it's not shabby to eat for nothing!

"What I'm best at? Hey, to be honest, I think I know a little bit about everything, but if you want to say what I'm best at, I think I'm the best at selling dog meat." Fang Xiongfei said seriously.

Wang Yifan couldn't help laughing.

Dai Xinyue also shook her head and smiled wryly.

"Tell me specifically." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Fang Xiongfei suddenly became a little angry.

"Director Wang, I'm actually not afraid of your jokes. Those of us who make domestic horror films, although they are all trying to sell dog meat, are very particular about how we sell them."

"For my movie, the first-choice actor must definitely not be the kind of Internet celebrity. Director Wang probably won't watch my movie, but I believe that as long as you have watched my movie, you will definitely find that the heroine I chose, Although they are all sexy types, they will definitely not be Internet celebrity faces, and they will not wear heavy makeup."

"Actually, at the beginning, I followed the crowd, looking for actors randomly, often looking for some Internet celebrities, some models and so on, but then I thought, why do we have to find these people for the same money? ? When these people appear on the poster, I am ashamed to let them show their faces, because I know it is a big bad movie!"

"And in reality? In fact, there are many actors who are short of acting. There are so many actors in the country every year. What kind of actors are there?"

"This is the face. Let me tell you another thing. As an actress, the bigger the better. Many people think that our domestic horror films have no technical content. In fact, they really do."

"First of all, actresses, if I want to make her sexy and show her sexy side, then most of the time, I will not choose one that is too beautiful, because the audience never likes to see that face when watching movies, but Ahem...so, don't let the actress's face take the place..."
