You Promised to Make a Bad Movie, but Your Box Office Exceeded 10 Billion?

Chapter 204 Brother Kai, Come and Replenish Calcium

Wang Binbin looked at Su You who was talking eloquently, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

A talented person looks really handsome when he looks confident!

Especially since this person is so handsome!

God loves this person so much. How can a person be so handsome and talented?

How can others live?

"As Director Su said, breakthroughs in many things often happen in just a moment. As long as you think about it, it is not difficult. The special effects of "The Wandering Earth" allow us to see hope for the future. Beautiful Chinese people will not be able to rely on this in the future. Come block us.

Shenhua 60pro also gives us hope in another direction. "

"Everything is fine!"

Wang Binbin continued to conclude, "I believe that in other aspects, we will also have the day when the clouds clear and the sun appears. The sky before dawn is indeed dark, but it is precisely because of the darkness at this time that the following sunrise will be full of meaning!"

[Binbin seems to have something to say]

[This is not fun to say]

[Binbin is right]

【support】

"So what do Director Su think are the reasons for the success of "The Wandering Earth"? Netizens even started to call this year the first year of science fiction. What do Director Su think?" Wang Binbin picked up the card and started to ask the next question. .

Su You shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, "I dare not take this as the first year of science fiction. It is not so much the success of "The Wandering Earth", but the success of Chinese science fiction films. The reason why Chinese science fiction films are successful is that they are different from reality." It’s not open.”

"There were many excellent science fiction films in the past. The reason why they failed to achieve commercial success was just because they were not born in a good era. Without such a good era as ours now, we would not be able to make such science fiction films. If you make Even if it comes out, no one will believe it.”

“Only when your country is strong and its citizens have confidence, can you watch this science fiction movie.

Science fiction films can tell us about a country’s overall strength. If our country is not strong enough, you won’t be able to make science fiction films.

Our country now has the ability to land on the back of the moon. In reality, when our aerospace and astronauts are strong enough, our audiences will have the confidence to see their own astronauts and spacecraft in the movie. You will firmly believe that it is not possible. Doubtful, I think there is no problem, we Chinese can do this. "

Wang Binbin listened and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we were all born in a good era!"

"But we can see that the overseas box office of "The Wandering Earth" is not very satisfactory? What does Director Su think of this matter?"

[Living in Bengbu, the overseas box office of 200 million US dollars is not ideal in Miss Binbin’s opinion...]

[(Erha) May I ask how much box office is ideal?]

[Director Su’s performance is not ideal (doge)]

[Miss Binbin is so strict! 】

[Why do you feel so weird? 】

The overseas box office exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars. For many people, even for most Chinese directors, this result is a very exaggerated result. After all, this is a Chinese-language film, ranking among the top two in overseas box office.

However, compared to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the investment in "The Wandering Earth", both in terms of money and energy, is obviously more. The investment in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is based on Li Mingyue's imaginative work. Under this, only more than 200 million were used.

But the actual investment in "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 500 million. This does not include free help from all aspects. If it were all converted into money, it would definitely be more than 1 billion.

Weinstein, one of Hollywood's top teams, spent a billion to film "The Three-Body Problem". It makes no sense that "The Wandering Earth" could be done with only 500 million, because many of their things are ready-made and can be used as they go. Both time cost and material cost are much lower.

That's why Wang Binbin said that the overseas box office of "The Wandering Earth" was not very satisfactory. Its investment was almost three times that of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but the box office was less than two-thirds.

And science fiction films can attract more audiences, and coupled with the reputation established by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", theoretically the box office performance should be better.

Su You understood what she meant, and without much hesitation, he said without hesitation, "In previous science fiction movies with apocalyptic themes like this, beautiful Chinese people usually jumped out to save the world. Now the protagonist has changed." Of course, they will feel uncomfortable and unable to accept it, so I am not surprised that "The Wandering Earth" was not received well in beautiful countries."

"However, I don't care whether they accept it or not. I have to serve the Chinese audience first. This is our root. So when making this film, I did not consider the international market and international audiences."

"Weinstein Pictures wants to make money in the Chinese film market, so I will keep a close eye on them in the Chinese market!"

"I want those arrogant white... guys to know that if you want to come to China to make money, you can, but you have to understand Chinese culture first, and you have to respect Chinese culture, otherwise, you can only eat shit!"

Su You also didn't shy away from the idea of ​​sniping Weinstein!

He was even prepared to say "pig", but he stopped when he thought that this was an interview on a TV station after all.

【well said! 】

[What a damn pleasure, it has to be an old thief! 】

[Nowadays, the entertainment industry is full of monsters and monsters. It makes me angry, but it has to be a tough guy like the old thieves.]

"As I said just now, we live in a good era, so some people believe in the science fiction films I make, and some people are willing to watch them."

"But now more places still use English instead of Chinese, so the international market is not the best era for us now. When will half of the people on Blue Star speak Chinese? At this time, we don’t need to do propaganda, they will naturally believe that when the end of the world comes, it will be faces like us who will come out to save the world!”

"So I don't have to think about them now. If they like it, then I will be very happy. If they don't understand or don't like it, I don't care at all. My film is just for the Chinese audience!"

"Of course, we literary and art workers also have the obligation to work hard in this aspect. Only if we produce good works that can show our Eastern culture, will they be interested in learning about our Eastern culture. When our works spread more and more Come wider and wider, then that day will come, and that’s what I’m doing!”

【Fuck! The old thief is domineering! I don’t care if they accept it or not, I have to serve the Chinese audience first! 】

[Don’t think about them now! Listen, listen, come, Brother Chen Kai, come and listen, what are the hard bones of our Chinese people like? Brother Kai, come and take a calcium supplement]

[It’s just a matter of naming me directly. We are the only ones who can produce good works that can show the charm of our oriental culture! If you look at what Brother Kai shoots, you will know that it is embarrassing to please Westerners. No wonder Westerners don’t want to see them, especially not even our own people.]

[Looking forward to the day when the old thief can do it, looking forward to the day when all Blue Stars speak Chinese! 】

"Yes, China is our root. We must first produce works that Chinese audiences like to see before we can go out in a down-to-earth manner!"

"We Chinese audiences are not fools if we want to make money with our weird skills!"

Wang Binbin nodded in agreement, "I hope Director Su can do it. I'm looking forward to that day!"

【Binbin is simply my mouth substitute, my heart is Binbin】

[Miss Binbin is so strong. Isn’t this talking about "The Great Wall" and "The King of Kung Fu"? 】

[emo: I am really emo]

[emo: Penguin, you really do all kinds of bad things]

"Certainly possible!"

Su You's eyes were firm, his smile was calm, and his confident general style was undoubtedly revealed, "Our Chinese culture itself is full of charm, but we literary and artistic workers are not able to show it. As long as someone can do it, there is no reason why they can't." like!"

"So this day is inevitable!"

Listening to Su You's confident words, Wang Binbin's eyes were filled with brilliance. Many female fans in front of the screen did the same. Rows of "Mr." and other barrages floated on the screen again.

"The last question must be what most literary and art workers want to know."

"I believe everyone has read the original work of "The Wandering Earth". What is shown in the movie is only a very small part of the original work. What did Director Su consider when adapting it?"

Su You nodded, "Yes, the movie only selects part of the original work, because the literary and artistic carriers are different. The charm of the novel is that we can have our own imagination space to describe the psychology of the characters...

This is difficult for film and television dramas to do, but film and television dramas have the advantages of film and television dramas. We can display a lot of information in the pictures. These things are very intuitive and do not require the audience to imagine, but can be brought to them through the pictures. Audience impact can arouse empathy and resonance from the audience through the actors' performances..."

"At the same time, it can have different perspectives. The perspective of the novel can be stretched very high, and it can be stretched to the perspective of the universe.

For example, many of Mr. Liu's books look at the human race from the perspective of the universe. When you stand from the perspective of the universe, people become very small, and many things we do become very ignorant.

But you can't use this perspective when making a movie. If we have a grand perspective for 120 minutes and show the rules of the world, it will become a science and education film. "

"So when the novel is adapted into a movie, we definitely can't copy the original work!"

[Laughing to death, Brother Kai, come out and get beaten]

[I suggest Brother Kai pay the tuition and find an old thief to learn how to adapt it]

[I hope Brother Kai will not direct the next part of "The Three-Body Problem"]

[Don’t hope, with the urinary attitude of those capitalists in Hollywood, Brother Kai can direct the second part of I Live Broadcast Eating Sex]

[It would be useless to change to another director, it is over. I only hope that the old thief will start filming "The Three-Body Problem" after finishing "The Wandering Earth"]

"Of course, it can't be magically modified. The reason why the original work is loved by so many people must have its own merits. Nowadays, many big IPs have failed in their film and television adaptations. The big reason is that they lost the original work during the adaptation process. The best thing is to sacrifice the fundamentals and pursue the last.”

"So in adapting this novel, we can only refine the characters under Da Liu's grand world view and the unique spiritual core he gave us, and then find the emotional landing point - family affection, love, or friendship.

In the end, we chose family love, and then built characters and stories around family love to strengthen dramatic conflicts. "

Wang Binbin's eyes began to look a little straight, a bit like a classmate who fell asleep in advanced mathematics class.

"Ah, although I didn't understand it, I was shocked!"

Wang Binbin didn't hide it, he simply made a fool of himself.

[Hahaha, laughing out loud like a pig, Binbin is so cute]

【I am right】

[Binbin looks very much like me in high school mathematics class]

Such self-deprecation also won her unanimous praise.

"On this issue, I would like to ask Director Su for the majority of literary and art workers. Since you said that when adapting a big IP, the advantages of the original work should be retained, then how should it be retained?"

[Yes, yes, old thief, please hand over your secret! 】

[If all the novels I like were made into TV series, wouldn’t it mean that I would never be in drama mode for the rest of my life?]

[Old thief only releases one work in half a year, which is not enough to watch. It would be great if there were more old thief.]

[(Laughing and crying) One production in half a year, even the production team’s donkeys are not so diligent. This is not enough.]

[If you think it's too little, I think it's too little. I own a movie theater and I can sell it to you...]

Su You looked at the camera with a wry smile, and the director and others behind the camera also looked confused. Obviously, this question was not something they had prepared in advance, but was asked by Wang Binbin on a whim.

It's not that he can't answer this question, it's just that.

“Actually, in the final analysis, it’s still a human problem!”

"I'm not just talking about the screenwriter's professionalism, but also about his character!"

"Most of the works that have invested a lot of money in adaptation are long online novels, which can easily be three to four million words, and even five or six million words long. If you want to fully understand such novels, you must at least read them. Two or three times?

It often takes several months to read it carefully several times.

How can those pampered screenwriters in the industry have this time? Their time is extremely precious.

Their usual approach is to give the book to their interns, ask them to write a synopsis of the story with several thousand words, and then adapt it based on the synopsis. Many even directly hand over the task of adaptation. Just give it to an intern and sign your name at the end. Then the script created in this way can inherit the advantages of the original work. "

"The most irritating thing is that when the adapted work is bad, and they get scolded, they still criticize it, saying that the original work itself is bad, and it is not the problem of his adaptation."

"There are also screenwriters who are even more shameless, saying that although the drama is poorly adapted, it has made money for Party A and she is proud of it!"

"It's so shameless!"

"Of course, that doesn't mean that there are no screenwriters with professional ethics, but there are very few such screenwriters in today's circle. The world is full of chaos now. I also hope that the bosses can wipe their eyes when investing. A little brighter.

Don't give those people who are just trying to make money a chance, so that the environment of the entire circle will gradually improve, and there will be more opportunities to show the charm of Eastern culture to more people, instead of just everyone. In this one-third of an acre of land, it is just a waste of money. "

Su You finally answered truthfully, and answered the question very sharply. In the entertainment industry, as Li Jiaqi said, everyone must learn from Yuan Hua, but there must be a few people who dare to tell the truth.

Otherwise, under the whitewashed peace, there are all rotten and stinky filthy things, which would be even more disgusting.

Coincidentally, he happened to have that confidence!

[Good scolding, it’s really a relief. Some screenwriters really should be soaked in pig cages]

[(laughing and crying), not all sins need to be soaked in a pig cage...]

【well said! I’ve long wanted to scold those bad writers]

[Come on, come on, I won’t stop until I say something surprising, the familiar old thief is back]

[(Erha sheds tears) It’s okay now, the old thief has offended all the screenwriters in the entire circle]

[If you offend me, I’ll offend you. They are a bunch of bad guys. As long as they can produce a few good works, I won’t support the old thieves so much]

[That is, if you have Xihongshi Film and Television to make movies, you can do the adaptation yourself, so don’t mess with those badass screenwriters]

"Director Su is right, a good environment is the key to going abroad!"

"The past few years were the era of rapid development of China's film and television industry, so as long as you make film and television dramas, you can make money, which provides the soil for those pests to breed. Now that this period has passed, we should pay more attention to The quality of employees, taking the high-quality route, and winning with quality!”

Wang Binbin supported Su You's point of view without hesitation. As a Shenhua TV station, such approval has certain guiding significance.
