Chapter 1027 The Internet Doesn’t Understand Movies (44)
It has not been ignored, after all, the two protagonists of "Send You a Little Red Flower" are newcomers: Peng Yuchang + Zhang Zifeng!
Naturally, a lot of publicity resources have been invested...
The box office of "Homecoming" in March was only over 300 million, which was suppressed by "Need for Speed" and "RoboCop" in turn. In April, "Captain America 2"...
The limelight of these movies was stolen by Golden Harvest's "Telephone" - starring Song Jia + Yang Zhi + Hui Yinghong + Chen Jin. It is a horror thriller, and its reputation and box office crushed "The Police" of the same period...
The box office exceeded 600 million. Because it was released on the same day as "The Devil", the latter's total box office was only 40 million, and even the tail power of "Captain America 2" was weakened.
"Captain America 2" is recognized as Marvel's best, and has successfully reversed Captain America's embarrassing popularity in Marvel.
You must know that in Avengers, Iron Man wears a cool steel armor, can fly, is rich, has a very high IQ, is a genius, is funny, and is chic;
The Hulk, when transformed, is extremely powerful, invulnerable to weapons, water and fire, and a genius scientist. He has the strongest body and the strongest intelligence, but is introverted and not good at words.
Thor is a god, the best race in the universe, and possesses a powerful hammer. Silver armor, red cloak, golden hair;
Hawkeye, is very accurate in shooting arrows, and has a cool shape.
Black Widow is very beautiful, can fight well, is a spy, and can do everything...
It can be said that all the members of the Avengers have attractive characteristics: they are either good-looking, super capable, super powerful, cool, or smart - except for Captain America.
Even annoying: not very capable but always stubbornly pointing fingers at others and quarreling with teammates.
The Russo brothers are great at creating characters!
"Captain America 2" saved the character of Captain America.
Gao Daquan's character has always been the most difficult to portray because he is too inhumane and can easily come across as false.
"Captain America 2" successfully solved this problem without using any weird tricks, just using extremely traditional materials-dystopia and self-sacrifice.
Through the changes of the times, create a sense of incompatibility for him, reduce the sense of alienation brought by Gao Daquan, and then reverse it in various ways to highlight his consistent conduct. Of course, in the end, it must be sublimated: self-sacrifice...
This self-sacrifice is a metaphor, he certainly did not sacrifice...
In terms of character creation, Joss Whedon does stretch his hips, but he is suitable for shooting big scenes. In "Avengers", he is actually the Chitauri. With all his fighting power, he made it into the battle of the century, with various AOEs, long shots, and destroyed buildings. , a Leviathan is full of oppression!
Let’s look at the battles in the Russo brothers’ “Avengers 3 and 4”. The spaceship Leviathan fills the sky. The camera will only follow the close-up of a single hero, and the long shot of grabbing the gloves will only follow the movement of different heroes...
No sense of oppression at all!
The mainland box office of "Original Time" exceeded 700 million, but this time it will not even reach 500 million - "Telephone" is too brilliant.
Moreover, Maoyan can also do it by smashing the tickets to make up for it, and the intensity is even greater...
Oh, "Telephone" is a very new type of Chinese-language movie. It uses a key prop, the telephone, to link time and space, and to link a girl who also suffers from hallucination syndrome. It expresses a similar point of view as "The Butterfly Effect". Changing history will always be destroyed by the chain of cause and effect. And the backlash…
The screenwriter is Shen Xudong, and the director is Qiu Litao...
Promotional slogan: Shen Xudong returns to horror films after eight years!
It is indeed eight years later - "Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter" was released in 2006...
However, Taopiaopiao was not discouraged. On May 1st, they bet on "My Deskmate" and exclusively monopolized the online ticket channel...
Oh, produced by Gao Xiaosong, produced by Guangwang and Ali Pictures, the director is Zhang Qi, the lineup is basically the same as the original time and space, Lin Gengxin + Zhou Dongyu;
Tianmei Media also released a movie on May Day this year - "Lucky Star Tour"...
Just the one with Sammo Hung...
…
"I'm really convinced, everyone is using big data as a treasure... Let me put it here, if Ali Pictures uses big data as a magic weapon to win, the only thing waiting for them is failure!"
"As a cultural product, creativity must be the core value of movies. How boring would it be if every movie was based on data and produced from an assembly line?"
"Film and television creation is a long-term activity. In the fast-paced era, creating according to the existing data model is likely to become a desperate situation."
"Big data points to commercial success, not work success! It is suitable for post-event summary, rather than early layout... Trying to mass-produce content will only end up producing a bunch of garbage..."
"Even if Hollywood, which is at the top of the world's entertainment industry, produces a large number of explosive works every year, it is really too simplistic to imagine entertainment by simply drawing a few broad frameworks and thinking it can be successful."
It was rare for Shen Xudong to directly criticize a competitor in an internal meeting.
"People who work on the Internet don't understand movies, and content creation is not that easy to subvert!"
"We continue to do our own thing and don't worry about him..."
After the meeting, Shen Xudong returned to his office. After a while, Gao Fenfen and Chen Xi came over. The former said, "I heard that Ma Yun wanted to invest in our company, but you rejected it?" ’
"Well, I did reject Ali Baba..."
"Why?"
"Ari's people are so strong. You see, Koo Yongqiang said that "House of Cards" actually relies on SONY's production skills. Big data is useful, but it cannot be deified. But when Ahri mentioned Netflix, it was "Solitaire" "House of Cards" means that through big data analysis, it is predicted that the TV series product that combines the three elements of Kevin Spacey, David Fincher and "BBC Produced" will be very popular. Therefore, "House of Cards" is a big hit. Be successful!’ It’s as if big data has everything!”
Chen Xi said: "Gu Yongqiang... I guess he's going to get out!"
"You still want to maintain your dignity after being acquired by Ahri? You will definitely be kicked out."
Shen Xudong nodded and then changed the topic: "However, I watched "Lucky Star Tour" and felt that the quality was not high... it may be overtaken by "My Deskmate" in the future..."
"Youth movies are really powerful. The movie "My Deskmate" was released for 4 days and the box office exceeded 150 million!"
"...Sammo Hung is still old. It is obviously a good road comedy framework, but the result is too loose."
"What should I do if I can't beat him?"
Shen Xudong frowned: ""Lucky Star Tour" was released across Asia. Has the cost been recovered?"
Chen Xi: "It has been taken back. Although the lineup of Sammo Hung + Yuen Biao is not as good as Jackie Chan, it is still quite popular in Southeast Asia!"
"Just recover the cost..."
"But we have always been the overlord in the May Day period..."
Shen Xudong shrugged: "We spent nearly 50 million on ticket subsidy, and the subject matter is also popular... Besides, when did we become the overlord of the May 1st film? Last year's "Iron Man 3", the year before that there was "Avengers"... "
"Now, Ali Pictures will definitely be proud..."
"Let us... do a good job in promoting and marketing next month's "The Ferocious Sunshine"!"
"Um…"
Shen Xudong raised his wrist and looked at the time: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Gao Fenfen: "Are you going to the racecourse again?"
"...I have an appointment today..."
"who?"
"Tang Yan..."
