Chapter 579: Not a Comedy? The Strongest National Day Movie?
"First of all, I still want to respond again. Filming "Death on Earth" is neither a one-sided act nor a desperate bet. It is just because the script is very good that we want to film it."
Lin Xing does not want to do any publicity for selling everything to make a movie.
Because that will easily backfire in the end.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Xing cut off this idea in advance.
Many times, everyone likes to listen to inspirational stories, and even more people like the story of the king's return.
That is, you sell everything to make a movie, and then everyone is not optimistic about it, but your movie is directly successful.
This is the routine that everyone likes to watch the most.
Why do many people say that Lin Xing is a protagonist with cheats? Isn't it because Lin Xing has always used this routine?
Others only use this routine in writing novels, but Lin Xing reflects it in reality.
If "Death on Earth" can really have a box office of several hundred million this time, then even Allen might be worried.
In this regard, Lin Xing is relatively indifferent.
He thinks the movie won't flop, but if it does, it will just be more difficult.
That's acceptable.
As for why he had to finish all five movies in one go, Lin Xing naturally didn't want to disrupt the actors' fluency.
Because these five movies are originally a complete story. If the first one is finished and then put aside for a while before the next one, then let alone whether the actors will have time, at least the shooting state will be different.
If you don't believe it, look at why many actors in the second season are getting fatter and worse.
Because many second seasons were not filmed until seven or eight years later.
The actors have already been replaced.
Lin Xing doesn't want that to happen, so he would rather spend more money to make the movie well.
But to be honest, this kind of investment is still huge. The most important thing is that many people are not optimistic about "Death on Earth", so Lin Xing also wants to use "Death on Earth" to prove it, so as to facilitate subsequent investment.
You have to know that an investment of more than 1 billion is not a small amount, and the current investment gap is naturally not ordinary.
At present, except for the first one, the remaining four will be filmed first, and the post-production will be done when there is money.
This is actually normal.
You should know that science fiction movies really rely on special effects most of the time, especially the special effects of each movie like "Death on Earth" are the top priority.
After all, Lin Xing can rely on his own mortgage of many properties, plus the investment and all the company's money to make the special effects of the first movie, but it is impossible for the next few movies.
As for "Death on Earth", Lin Xing has not asked Xin Hui to invest in it. Instead, Lin Xing has asked Xin Hui for "Parallel Cohabitation" and "Charlotte's Troubles".
So, on the one hand, Lin Xing actually thinks that as long as the box office of the first movie of "Death on Earth" does not flop, then the subsequent investment will be easier to attract.
At the same time, Lin Xing really cares about the movie "Charlotte's Troubles". He believes that this movie will definitely have good results during the Spring Festival.
Yes.
Lin Xing is so confident.
For Lin Xing, he really thinks that the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" will achieve good results.
Because first of all, this is a comedy movie. Secondly, generally speaking, as long as a comedy movie is not too bad, it will definitely achieve good results during the Spring Festival.
"Axing, today's interview is basically this, but now it seems that you are much more confident in "Charlotte's Troubles" than "Death on Earth." "
Editor-in-chief Allen said to Lin Xing with a smile after the interview.
"This is inevitable. If I tell you that I have enough confidence in "Death on Earth", I believe that this movie can make 3 billion box office during the National Day, do you believe it?"
Lin Xing said jokingly.
Allen also laughed: "Then I must have thought you were crazy."
"Yeah, so now I just hope that "Death on Earth" doesn't flop at the box office."
Lin Xing smiled and said: "I still say that I believe in this movie. To be more precise, I think this movie will never disappoint everyone. I believe that the audience can see the quality of a good movie."
Alan said a piece of news at this time: "But Axing, the National Day file is really terrible. In addition to Qi Ning's movie, Master Guo's movie will also be scheduled during the National Day file this year, as well as Hollywood and Bollywood..."
Lin Xing knows all this.
Master Guo said in an interview before that his movies will either be released during the National Day file or during the Spring Festival file.
At present, it is obvious that the pressure on the National Day file is less.
Master Guo's film lineup this time is even more powerful, and many people think that this movie will definitely continue to set records.
Just think about it, a "The Undertaker" and a Master Guo's movie "Mountains and Seas", these two films will be at least half of the schedule.
Please...collect 6...books...!
Not to mention that there may be other movies.
For this reason, Allen actually has good intentions: "Why not choose a small schedule? Just like "Parallel Cohabitation" also got good movies in a small schedule??"
"It's different. National Day and Spring Festival are the biggest markets. The current science fiction movies belong to a relatively small market. So we have to choose a big market?"
Lin Xing shook his head and said, "It's all about performance."
Yes.
It's all about performance.
On the one hand, it will depend on the publicity, and on the other hand, it will depend on the quality of the film.
Let's put it this way, when the movie is not released, any so-called predictions can only be regarded as a joke.
After Lin Xing finished chatting with Allen, he was ready to meet Guo Haishan.
Guo Haishan happened to be in the capital, so it was a good opportunity to discuss the new movie this time.
In fact, what the outside world said was not quite right. In Lin Xing's opinion, the script written by Guo Haishan was not a comedy movie.
It should be an art film, or a road movie with realistic themes.
After watching it, Lin Xing thought it was pretty good, because there are really few realistic movies like this.
As for Lin Xing's setting, he is a middle-aged man in his 40s, and he has no pressure to play such a middle-aged man.
After meeting Guo Haishan, after a simple greeting, he got straight to the point.
The next movie will start shooting in mid-July.
Of course, there is no problem with Lin Xing.
In this way, the start time of the new movie was set, and Lin Xing began to focus only on the script for the next half a month.
As for the new movies in the National Day file, they have been officially announced one after another.
At least the strongest National Day file is not a problem.
Of course, Lao Zhong did not forget to complain: "I just hope that the strongest will not become the worst in the end. Every so-called strongest becomes a joke." (End of this chapter)
