Chapter 1418: Shooting a Movie in Seven Days
After watching TV dramas like "Sunny Days" and "Days Related to Youth", many people have a perception of the Yanjing people born in the 1950s and 1960s. They are poor, good at talking, and sharp in language. Basically, you can't win a civilized argument with them.
These people have long been accustomed to the prosperity of the world. They no longer rely on quantity to win in their eloquence. Their sharp words have become extremely heartbreaking. If anyone argues with them about something, their words can make you spit blood. But you still have a perception that you will lose if you don't argue with each other in an equal way. You want to argue with each other in an equal way, but in the end you find that you are speechless and are not at the same level at all.
In recent years, with the Internet, it has become much easier for everyone to argue with each other on it. These old guns are not completely unreasonable and use seniority to suppress others. What they admire more is that I can make you speechless. This is real ability. If you rely on status, seniority and connections to force you to admit defeat, then they think this is shameful and they should be ashamed.
A group of people are actually out of touch with the times, but you have to admit that they represent a special era.
They can get serious recommendations from this group of people. When the novel "Three-Body" was so popular, people like Xiao Gangpao who were active in front of the stage were asked. Those who had good relationships would definitely be biased. No one would ask those who had no relationship, which made people feel like they were deliberately picking faults. To this day, when the movie is produced, Wang Shuo and his group first supported it at the premiere, and then directly recommended it with unconcealed praise.
This is equivalent to opening the door to another circle for Chen Hao, and also adding a lot of "powerful people" to the audience of "Three-Body", the backbone of society in their forties and fifties, or the group who just entered their sixties and refused to accept old age. They are somewhat resistant to going to the cinema to watch movies, or they don't pay much attention to similar things. Occasionally, they watch TV to watch some current affairs news or military themes. The shoddy production of film and television dramas in recent years has really ruined many people's ideas of watching. Over time, many people don't even watch TV much.
Such a group of people may not provide much box office, but it means that a class has a new understanding of movies.
Compared with the film critics' eloquent reviews, some of these people are relatively famous, such as business owners, cultural figures, or some stereotyped old actors. In short, they are some people who are a little famous and have some fans and attention on social software.
They walked into the cinema to watch a movie with the name of a commercial blockbuster. After coming out, they all liked it. The most amazing thing about this movie is that it is not bound by form, breaking the jars and cans that everyone has known in the past, and from the story to the picture, it is impeccable. After watching it too much, it feels very fake and there is no technical support for the kind of science fiction. The various super-era information and technologies that have appeared in "The Three-Body Problem" so far can be explained and explained using the current knowledge framework. This is amazing, and then these things are presented in the form of film art, without losing interest, and success is completely no distance from this movie.
On the first day, the box office in mainland China was 270 million. There is definitely a gap in the results compared to "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", and the gap in North America is even greater. "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" once created a North American first-day box office of 170 million, but when it came to "The Three-Body Problem", the single-day box office suddenly fell to 30 million US dollars. It seems to be a sign of Waterloo, but everyone knows that even with this result, it is enough to be called a masterpiece.
No one will doubt the box office strength of Chen Hao's works in Asia and China. In the past two years, in South America, Australia, Europe and Africa, they have begun to have a fixed movie audience group. This group is an audience other than fans. They may not make themselves fans of a certain artist, but they will watch his movies regularly if they appreciate a certain actor.
The influence of the novel also broke out at this moment. On the first day of the box office, the two largest databases - North America and mainland China, seemed to be eclipsed by "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", but in other countries and regions, especially some places where Chen Hao's film works did not produce much box office in the past, the box office has grown significantly, and they have established database docking with China. After the box office of the day came out, it was immediately connected to the data here. This is also the first time that Chen Hao's works can list the box office data of dozens of countries and regions on the second day.
The island countries, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and several countries in Southeast Asia are all major export destinations for box office. The box office data in Europe is not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands a day now. The countries with the most box office are all in the millions. You must know that with the population of a European country, a single-day box office of millions of euros is definitely not a small amount.
It can be said responsibly that the global box office of "The Three-Body Problem" on a single day is enough to wipe out the total box office of many medium-sized productions. Even so, in the eyes of the media, Chen Hao is not very satisfied. He did not create the glory of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" and failed to set a new record. Does it mean that he has embarked on the Waterloo of his personal record?
Some media use this as a gimmick to attract attention, and those who know a little bit about the market think it is ridiculous. However, there are still some people who are willing to pay attention to such media, some of whom do not understand, and some of whom are probably just joining in the fun.
In short, the appearance of "The Three-Body Problem" directly warms up the Christmas box office war, and also allows global audiences to enter the excitement of the Christmas season in advance. This year, Chen Hao has three films released, and he has begun to control them all After fighting each other, what about other big productions?
Other big productions will only scold Chen Hao behind his back, and they will know in their hearts that there are only so many good slots. No matter how strong the opponent is, you must face it calmly. If you don’t have the courage to defeat all opponents, then don’t enter it at all. This schedule is good, it would be great to find a stable schedule with no opponents in the same period.
Many film companies that are actually sensible have said this in their own meetings: "We should thank Chen Hao."
You have to assume that he is a super powerful opponent before you can say thank you. Three movies are squeezed into one schedule. What else can you say? If he spreads out, wouldn't you be able to see it in good schedules throughout the year? he.
"How can this guy be so efficient!"
In the end, there is only one sentence left. For other major directors, releasing a competitive film every three or two years is considered a high production, but look at this one, Wanda Dada produced three films in one year. No, it is Four movies, as well as "Time Rescue 2". It is said that in that movie, as the leading actor, it only took him about a month to shoot all his scenes, and there were a lot of action scenes in it, which required a lot of work. There are a lot of props used in the scene. Doesn’t that mean that if it was a movie without so many action scenes, he could shoot it in a shorter time?
Not to mention, during the few days Chen Hao stayed in Yanjing, people really came to his door. In the past, people did not dare to come to him because they thought he would not have time to do other projects. After this year, Everyone can see that Mr. Chen's efficiency is there. If he is not leading three movies, but only filming as an actor, as long as he adjusts the scenes and schedules, it seems that it will be okay for him to shoot five or six movies a year. The problem is, if it is an art film, it will be faster. Some people bet that if it is an art film with few scenes, such as "Room", where most scenes are in a closed space, if a script is specially written for Chen Hao, he estimates To be able to complete his part within seven days.
After such remarks were posted on the Internet, not to mention, after a discussion, many people really believed it and thought it seemed quite reliable. They spread the word on the Internet and asked some film companies to come up with scripts. , let’s see if Haozi can break the record for the longest time a protagonist has participated in a movie.
Participating in the fun without fear of being too loud is one of the most unique pleasures for netizens. In reality, when watching the fun, you still worry about splattering yourself with blood. On the Internet, I have to make sure I feel comfortable and enjoy the fun to the fullest.
Scripts from various sources were delivered to Chen Hao's desk, and invitations from various sources were chased all the way to his home. The courtyard, which was already beautiful and ready for move-in, had just welcomed its owner, but the result was that the owner had not yet had a proper tour of his future residence. Already being invited by various people to fill up their time, several familiar directors and producers even came to the house. They even ignored the location within the Second Ring Road in order to gain Chen Hao's favor for the project in hand. The value of this big house ignored all aspects of luxury in the house, and only looked at Chen Hao.
"Tea or coffee?"
Looking at the expectant eyes, Chen Hao could only smile apologetically: "I know there are many people on the Internet waiting for my news, and I am also prepared to comply with public opinion..."
When he said this, the faces of the two visiting lobbyists showed signs of anticipation.
"I have chosen a work, a very interesting work, a small production. I originally wanted to buy it and shoot it myself, but the other party only has one request, that is, as a screenwriter, he wants to be the director and shoot the film. Even if I have offered him 10 million to buy the copyright to adapt the script, but he also refused. I think he should be allowed to try it, and I also plan to respond to the call of netizens and shoot the film in less than seven days. What a great movie.”
What!
Not only the visiting guests didn’t believe it, but even many of Chen Hao’s friends didn’t believe it. Although Xiaogangpao didn’t give him any works in the hope that he would come to shoot, he still had expectations in his heart. He knew that if he invited him as a friend No matter how busy Haozi is, he will come to help, but that is not what he wants. What he wants is that the works and roles of his company can attract him.
If Chen Hao really wants to shoot a movie in a few days, he won't go crazy. What kind of book should he use to allow him to interact with netizens while ensuring that he records every masterpiece?
