Chapter 301: Master of Brainwashing
A BMW 7 Series fourth generation was driving smoothly on Ningxuangao. Through the window, you can see two people sitting in front, one man and one woman. The woman was driving, her eyes staring ahead, and the man pointed his finger at his head and put in a strange position.
"Don't you don't believe it,"
Duane said, pressing his right index finger against his temple.
“Because here.”
"You're right, I'm the king of the world. I was born for movies. If you can cut my head open, you'll find that it's all movies."
"There are art films with artistic heights that are no less than "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum", genre films with cooler films than "Saw", and romance films that are more exciting and touching than "The Pretty Beauty"... This is a treasure house, and thousands of classic films are lying here, just waiting for me to shoot them."
When Shu Yu heard this, she finally couldn't help it. She sneered and said, "You weren't so shameless before."
Duane’s implied meaning is that he thinks that all the films he made are classics? Yes, the box office results of the films he made are very good, but the artistic height is hard to say. Except for "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum", the other films are very controversial, especially "Terminator" and "Fengyue Pretty Beauty", which have many underestimated remarks.
Well, if you take a step back, you will admit that all the pictures of him are classics, but he actually said that those are nothing?... It's like a high school student who took the provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination, but in an interview, he said, "There is not enough time, otherwise I can get the global top scorer."
Please, this is no longer self-confidence, but arrogance. You should first win the top scorer in the country before saying such words? If you say such words, your face will not be red or your heart will not be beaten, and your skin will be really thick-skinned.
But how could Duane's face become thinner if she says it?
He pretended that he didn't hear it and continued to say to himself: "What shameless? This is the fact. Don't you see that I only won the Huabiao Award last year after filming a few years, but I don't want to win the Huabiao Award? Is it true that I don't want to win the Huabiao Award? I don't want to win the award! If I really want to win the award, I will tell you that the Huabiao Award every year will have to be contracted by me."
It would be fine if he was joking, but his expression was very serious when he spoke, as if he was really thinking so, so Shu Yu couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes.
Du An turned around and quickly reminded: "Hey, concentrate on watching the road and driving well. You are not the only one in the car now. If something happens, I will be with you."
The Huabiao Awards are contracted every year? Although Shu Yu knows her partner and friend very well, she only realized today that she is seriously underestimating Duan's face. This is not just giving him some time to get the world's top scorer, but giving him some time to get the world's top scorer!
Shu Yu, who was speechless, simply didn't mock him, but said in his tone: "Okay, the Huabiao Award is for you, and you go to contract the Huabiao Award every year."
Duane shook his head and sighed, "What is Huabiao Award? Just go and have fun and taste some fresh things occasionally. I am not here."
Shu Yu rolled her eyes again.
Well, it turns out that this master really doesn’t like the Huabiao Awards.
"What does this have to do with opening a theater?"
Although Shu Yu has been trained by Duane for several years, Duane, who has opened up today, still makes her unable to resist it, so she quickly moved the topic back.
Duan slapped his thighs suddenly, and made a crisp "pop" sound, and exclaimed: "You're asking the point now!"
Shu Yu had a cold face, and quickly penetrated her left foot from bends under her right leg and kicked Duan onto her left leg. Duan staggered, and then flexibly took it back.
"You have to pat your own."
Du An didn't mind either. He happily took his hand back from Shu Yu's right leg and sat upright, "It hurts to pat myself, I'm not stupid."
"Why do you need to open a theater? This is related to what I just said."
"You know the style of filming, mainly making money, but movies are really hard to say. Some things I think are very good and commercial, but the market and audience don't like them. For example, "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum", I think it is very commercial, but only collected more than one billion. To be honest, it did not meet my expectations. In addition, some things I think are just ordinary, but the audience likes them very much. For example, "Terminator", I know it will be commercial, but I didn't expect it to be so commercial, or so cater to the tastes of current audiences."
Duane sighed at this and sighed infinitely, "This generation likes such things, the next generation likes such things, the Chinese likes such things, the European likes such things, and the American likes such things, and they likes such things last year, but next year they likes such things, and the market is really difficult to grasp. With the changes in time and space, no one dares to say that they have a clear understanding of the market."
This is going to be a trap.
Shu Yu, who has always been very familiar with Duan's tricks, reminded herself like this, but she also had to admit that Duan was right.
The market is really like this, it's too difficult to figure out.
"So I want to open a theater, I want to grasp the taste of the market."
The car continued to drive, and the high-rise car was in good condition and smoothly. Duane gestured in the car, saying while gesturing: "I have to drive more than one, I have to drive two, three, and four... I will try to open a theater on the street, the more the better, and then I will implement the ideas that I have in my mind at the same time in these theaters. Based on the audience's reactions and sales, we can judge which of these videos have higher commercial value and more in line with the current market tastes in this time period. Then we will form a team to analyze the profit model, select the top ones for shooting, and make it a movie."
"In the past, I used to shoot movies in my own taste, but in the future, I plan to hand over this right to the upcoming theater alliance, to the audience, and to the movies I selected from the market. Do I still have to doubt the box office?"
Shu Yu drove the car quietly and listened silently to what Du An said.
She had to admit that although she had seen Duan's foolings many times, she still felt that his words were so deceptive every time she heard them.
"You are completely a brainwashing master. If you do pyramid schemes, you will definitely create the worst and largest pyramid scheme case in history. Then you will be arrested, at least sentenced to life imprisonment, and you may be shot directly."
Du An accepted her praise generously.
"Thank you for the compliment."
But Shu Yu is different from those who don’t understand his routines, and he is not so easily convinced.
"But you have a problem that seems to be overlooked,"
After Shu Yukua (?), there was another turning point, "That is, drama and movies are two different forms of expression. If a drama is successful, the movie may not be successful. If a movie is successful, the drama may not be successful."
After all, she had some antibodies after being bombarded by Duane. She ignored those exciting new concepts and successfully found the "weakness" in Duane's words.
Duane snapped his fingers when he heard her question, "You are right. Drama and movies are two different forms of expression, but I only said that I want to open a theater. Do I want to do a drama?"
Shu Yu's breath stagnated, and then asked, "What are you going to do, Cantonese opera? Yang Opera? Huangmei Opera?"
Is those things less popular than dramas?
“Stage movie.”
Duane throws out a word she hasn't heard before. (To be continued.)8
