Chapter 1094 "Apotheosis of the Gods"? (44)
In the final analysis, one sentence: Idiots have no right to speak!
If you don’t have the ability, what qualifications do you have to ask others for praise?
If you don't make something decent, you blame moviegoers for giving bad reviews. This logic is also powerful.
It also reflects that Ahri is really awesome - he has been scolded every year during the Spring Festival Gala, but he has never seen anyone take action against him!
"The Ferryman", as the first film invested by Ali Pictures, also bears the pressure of a guaranteed box office of one billion yuan.
In 2016, Ali Pictures had a net loss of 465.7 million yuan. If "The Ferryman" also suffers from a box office failure, the future of Ali Pictures, which is new to the film industry, may be uncertain.
Even if the wealthy Ahri doesn't care, its other distributor, Zedong Pictures founded by Wong Kar-Wai, may not be able to withstand the pressure of a box office failure.
In fact, this year's situation is special - Kuailu has been taken down, and box office fraud does not dare to act recklessly...
The box office fraud has been strictly investigated, and the self-portrait and self-purchasing business can no longer be done!
You see, it's not that they don't care about their ugly appearance, they are really forced to do so and are extremely helpless.
This has also become the reason why the film industry has repeatedly talked about the box office of film reviews.
Not only "The Ferryman", but also "Railway Tigers", its guarantee parties BJ Culture, Yaolai, and Huayi, the first two are in turmoil due to financing turmoil. There may be something hidden behind these billions of box office Leverage several times or even dozens of times.
Then, they publicized the "China Film News" - the original article was actually titled ""Douban Movie Ratings Fell into a Crisis of Confidence"", but "China Film News", except for those in the industry who may subscribe, few ordinary viewers have heard of it. The number of reads on Weibo and WeChat platforms does not exceed 100,000...
This is a trivial matter.
The turning point of the matter was that this article was actually reprinted by Renri Client in its own name, and was subsequently widely spread by major media with the prefix "Renri Publish".
Here’s the problem: Why did Renri Client change its signature to publish such an article that would obviously offend the audience?
…
Han Yan also has his own company: Shanghai Dragon Fruit Film and Television Production...
The company also invested 200 million and then held 40% of the shares.
Han Yan collaborated with Shen Xudong earlier than Ning Hao - "Life Events".
It can be said that he is the absolute direct descendant of Shen Xudong!
In the past few years, Han Yan has made several dramas around cancer and death, some of which he directed himself, and most of which were produced...
This type of movie is very easy to create based on a template: it focuses on the relationship between a terminally ill man and a woman, the moment of disillusionment between life and death, and the sense of dramatic conflict. Han Yan will also add family scenes to make it more grounded...
Anyway, the cost is concentrated between 30 million and 50 million, and the box office is basically between 300 and 500 million.
Occasionally, a film whose reputation exceeds expectations may even earn 600 million at the box office...
He recently took over the work on the sequel to "The Thieves", which was quite stressful - it cost 300 million, a large-scale commercial film, and only had a script framework!
As for Ning Hao...
In the past two years, in addition to "Hello, BJ" and "BJ, Good Guy", he has been doing more work as a producer...
I tinkered with the 72 Changes movie project. The three movies were all well-received, but the box office was... not satisfactory, but the cost was recovered!
When Shen Xudong called, they happened to be having a dinner together, three of them, and one Wu Ershan...
Lobby them to invest in the production of "Fengshen"...
In this time and space, there is no "Painted Skin 2" or "The Secret of the Dragon". Obviously, Wu Ershan is not convincing enough. Although Chen Guofu and Kung Fu Pictures trust him, the production cost of more than one billion is still not enough. …
After Chen Guofu left Huayi, he made several movies, which can only be said to be unsatisfactory!
——The luck is cut.
Ning Hao and Han Yan knew Wu Ershan fairly well. After all, they were all in the same circle...
But they are helpless with "Feng Shen", which has an investment of more than 1 billion!
Ning Hao said directly: "Xu Ke has paid three visits to "Shu Mountain", a trilogy, and the total investment is only 800 million... Your investment is more than 1 billion... I don't think any investor would dare to agree!"
"One billion is the investment amount for a trilogy. It would be more cost-effective to shoot the three parts together..."
"A good deal?"
“The first is the actors. After filming together, the actor’s image is relatively stable;
The second is to save a lot of running-in costs for the entire production, including a lot of production content. If one film is destroyed and then rebuilt for the second film, this may cause a huge waste;
The third reason is that the overall budget will be saved by 20%. In fact, for such a huge project, 20% is a huge amount of money. "
Han Yan asked directly: "How are you sure that the first part will be filmed and released, and the second part will be released?"
"So, we have to bet on the audience's approval!"
Han Yan was about to ask more when his cell phone rang: "...I'll answer the call!"
Before he hung up, Ning Hao's cell phone rang...
"Xudong will come over later, you can ask him!"
…
In fact, "Fengshen" is not bad, it is a very standard, even a bit retro commercial film, at least it is not a bad film.
In terms of special effects, except for the few minutes of Lei Zhenzi and Kunlun Mountain, the fantasy special effects and colors are pretty good...
It can be seen that the crew used a relatively economical special effects method-using dark light to replace some deficiencies in details.
However, since you have used the method of saving money, then...where did such a high investment go?
"Feng Shen" said that its special effects were awesome, and it was also irritating that domestic special effects companies did not dare to take on the project, so they had to find Hollywood special effects teams to do it.
I was confused at that time. The special effects of his "Fengshen" movie had been realized in domestic movies a few years ago. Why is Lei Zhenzi inferior to an online drama?
Later, the business manager came out and broke the news: The quotation for domestic special effects was one-tenth that of the United States, and then blamed the domestic company for not cooperating?
What's wrong? Did you make yourself awesome by filming "Fengshen"?
So if you have money, why not raise your offer?
Yes, judging from 2018, the special effects of "Fengshen" are pretty good, but the special effects of domestic movies have improved too much in recent years, such as "The Wandering Earth", "Assassination of Novelists", "Walking Alone on the Moon", "The Wandering Earth" 2"…
The level of special effects beats "Fengshen"...
The flavor of blockbusters is too strong, with all kinds of "Searching for Self", "Devil's Temptation", and "The Evil Nature of Man", which may be quite popular in 2018 and 2019, but "The Wandering Earth" and "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" "" and other movies have really explored a narrative line with Chinese characteristics, but "Fengshen" seems outdated here!
Especially Xibohou’s words, ‘What’s important is not whose son you are, what’s important is who you are! ’
As he stepped on the horse, a whiff of Western fantasy rushed straight to his forehead. At that time, Ji Chang was simply possessed by the spirit of Captain America.
In addition, Wuershan is a smart man!
In the original time and space, after the release of "Fengshen", a lot of bad things were revealed, especially the heroine's remarks that she was suspected of being a ruthless person, and she turned into a ruthless person after some manipulation by the undercover director.
Ruhua is a big deal, Ruhan is nothing!
Being humiliated every day…
As for the perception?
No matter how much the Norwegians brag about their Viking ancestors being martial and brave in beating up old London, Assassin's Creed Hall of Valor still speaks English and there is not even a Norwegian option.
Cultural seasoning is cultural seasoning!
Nothing can be changed!
Therefore, the polarity evaluation is very serious...
Shen Xudong also has his own views on "Fengshen"...
