Chapter 746 Anger
Company, after Gao Fenfen received the news that "Wanted" was airborne on October 9th, she directly cursed her...
It’s China Film again!
And there is a high probability that Hanshanping will make the decision!
Generally speaking, if a Hollywood blockbuster is to be released in China, the release date will definitely be disclosed to mainland film companies in advance.
Then mainland film companies will adjust the release time of their movies based on the mainland release dates of Hollywood blockbusters, staggering head-to-head confrontations as much as possible...
After all, the current Hollywood blockbusters are really good and unstoppable!
As long as a Hollywood movie is released, it can sell box office.
I have the impression that a lot of Nicolas Cage's films have been introduced. Regardless of the reputation, they all sell well and the audience is not picky at all.
Previously, "The Incredibles" was released, and China Film arranged for "The Incredible Hulk" to be released on the same day.
Although "The Incredible Hulk" beat "The Incredible Hulk" at the box office, the latter still took in close to 50 million at the box office.
Our audience's view may be that the two movies together set the market on fire, but in the opinion of the distribution company, if there were no "The Incredible Hulk", "The Incredibles" would have collected at least 30 million more at the box office!
It makes sense, because "The Incredible Hulk" does occupy a lot of theater schedules.
Now, China Film and Television has airborne "Wanted" again!
To be clear, it is targeting "Painted Skin". Otherwise, why would it be released on October 9th?
Of course, China Film's explanation is to let movie fans see the movie as early as possible...
"Wanted", a Hollywood action blockbuster starring Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy, a bullet-turning drama...
According to Gao Fenfen's expectations, this movie can earn more than 50 million at the box office. The most important thing is that once it is released, it will definitely take away the film schedule of "Painted Skin"!
Yesterday was a working day, and the single-day box office of "Painted Skin" dropped by RMB 10 million, closing at RMB 8 million. According to predictions, it should exceed RMB 200 million this weekend.
Well, in 14 days, the box office exceeded 200 million!
According to this trend, if there is no strong opponent to obstruct it, "Painted Skin" is likely to win 300 million box office.
But now, Wanted is here.
The distribution company released more than 800 film copies, hoping to carve a piece of the autumn market cake with a large-scale screening...
If it's a domestic movie, then forget it...
A step into a Hollywood blockbuster?
Relying on foreigners' self-respect?
Let's put it this way, according to the schedule of shows in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Wuhan and other cities for the next two days, after the "Announcement" was released, "Painted Skin" was ranked second in most theaters...
The entire Tianmei company was very angry.
Gao Fenfen: “I want to hold a press conference to denounce Han Shanping’s shameless face!”
Chen Xi shook his head: "But let me look at the movie box office. Many netizens are really looking forward to "Wanted"..."
"Looking forward to it? If we really want to look forward to it, we should strongly demand that China and the United States release it on the same day, instead of delaying it for three months..."
"But China Film's release of "Wanted" at this time is in line with the mentality of many fans who want to watch American blockbusters... If you hold a press conference, we will not be able to stand in terms of public opinion. Xudong has said that the most important thing in film and television is the audience's reputation. ...If you do this, it will greatly affect the audience’s reputation!”
Gao Fenfen was silent for a while: "You go out first, I'll make a call to ask about the situation..."
Chen Xi took his cell phone and left, and Gao Fenfen immediately dialed his father's number...
…
Shen Xudong is currently working on the later stage of "33 Days of Love". "33 Days of Love" is similar to "Famous". They are both conventional narratives and there is no special effects rendering work.
Editing, color grading, synthesizing audio tracks, subtitles, and soundtracks...
Any post-production house can handle these tasks.
And the 110-minute movie is quite simple...
By the way, Shen Xudong specially cut a 140-minute extended version to prepare for offline DVD release...
Oh, he mainly guides the editing work, and the one who is really responsible for editing is teacher Zhang Yifan.
The editor is very important. He is the pacemaker of the film. Editing determines how the film will make the audience feel.
Of course, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
No matter how good the editor is, he still needs materials. No matter how good the editor is, it is impossible for him to edit "Shanghai Fortress" into "Independence Day"...
Zhang Yifan had just finished editing "The Tuner" and was then invited by Shen Xudong to edit "33 Days After Love".
The movies made by Shen Xudong are actually very easy to edit, because the story is very strong, and it is impossible to jump and edit...
And Shen Xudong pays great attention to the sense of picture...
In the original time and space, "33 Days of Love" was criticized for being too "television-y". In fact, it was Teng Huatao who made the movie with the habit of making TV series.
What are your habits when filming TV series?
In order to save money, TV dramas use mirrors sparingly. An action that can be expressed in one shot will never be expressed in two shots. There is very little material!
"Love Is Not Blind" is okay. After all, it is an urban film with a strong story. "Shanghai Fortress" is a disaster. There is too little material. Even Lin An'er has no material to use...
Lin An'er is already very good. "Shanghai Fortress" can achieve clear information and logic at least in the first half, but the material is such that the power of recovery is limited.
Do not believe?
If you hold back your nausea and watch "Shanghai Fortress", you will find that from beginning to end, the characters read few lines correctly. Therefore, in most cases, when one character speaks, the scene will be cut to another. People, or simply cut to a long shot and let the characters speak outside the camera. You can see very, very few shots of the characters talking in front of their faces.
This shows what?
It shows that the version we see now is the result of the editor's desperate efforts to make repairs. It is very likely because the original material only has a few shots in total where the mouth shapes are barely correct, so the editor only shows you these few shots. Someone's mouth moved to speak...
In addition, you can also see that in the scene about the dream on the rooftop and the scene in the bar, errors such as crossing the axis have appeared...
Axis control is the most basic ability of an editor. If the axis goes off-axis, it can only be said that the original material submitted by the photographer is like this...
After all, the editor has no right to ask the actors to reshoot a set.
Back to the topic, Shen Xudong and Zhang Yifan have been busy for a week, and "33 Days of Love" has taken shape...
The two walked out of the editing room and prepared to have something to eat.
After getting in the car, Zhang Yifan flipped through the latest issue of "BJ Youth" magazine in the car. The front page read, "Painted Skin" has a box office of 170 million, breaking the National Day box office record. He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect it. "Painted Skin" did so well at the box office..."
Shen Xudong smiled: "Mainly due to the prosperity of the film market... If it had been the year before last or last year, "Painted Skin" would have exceeded 100 million at most..."
"Last year's "Famous" also exceeded 200 million!"
"That mainly depends on the star cast..."
After starting the car, Shen Xudong's cell phone rang. It was Chen Xi.
"What's wrong?"
"..."Wanted"...a Universal movie...is it going to be released today? Didn't you notify us in advance?"
Shen Xudong was also shocked...
Again, Hollywood blockbusters are landing on the market...
No advance notice?
This thing isn't quite right...
"Mr. Gao... tell her not to mess around, and let the movie resolve the matter... Where are you?"
"Sure, I'll be there soon!"
I try to update as much as possible on weekdays, I might have something to do on the weekends...
