Chapter 369: Trend
In-depth digging of news events is a necessary consciousness for a journalist. It is no exaggeration to say that if someone in China can win the Nobel Prize, the media can dig him deep enough to dig out whatever his ancestors do, which will also work on Du An.
The director is the soul of a movie. As the director of the director, Du An made an important contribution to the success of "Liberation Day" and took it as the result. Therefore, after paying attention to this news, the media immediately promoted Du An to the altar.
While celebrating the record-breaking of "Liberation Day", journalists began to dig deep and find differences to report.
There are some people who have made a big inscrutating Duane, who have dug up all the way from childhood to adulthood, and even how old he was weaned, and some people have summarized the success of "Liberation Day". They believe that the success of "Liberation Day" should not be attributed to Duane alone, but to see some other aspects, such as the strong strength of the director team, luxurious cast, strong investment, and deep producer team. The combination of all factors has led to the success of "Liberation Day". Duane alone is not enough to achieve such great achievements. Didn't Duane have made so many movies before? But which one has passed the box office of 3 billion yuan? That's "Liberation Day". So, in the success of "Liberation Day", Duane's factors are one aspect, and more importantly, the combined effect of other favorable factors.
"…The similarity between "Liberation Day" and "Terminator" is that the directors of both movies are Duane, and the differences are as follows: First, the cast of "Liberation Day" is much more luxurious than "Terminator"; Second, the investment in "Liberation Day" is more than six times that of "Terminator". Third and most important point, only one famous director Duane is the leader in "Terminator", and "Liberation Day" also has three famous directors Duane, Zhang Yimou and Huang Jianxin. According to reliable sources, the well-known director Xie Jin also participated in the filming..."
This is a follow-up report by Southern Metropolis Daily on Tuesday.
The Bund Pictorial also analyzed this phenomenon.
"...The personal styles of the three directors in the film are strangely unified. Director Huang Jianxin has always paid attention to humanistic care and social issues. He is also one of the few directors who can perfectly unify the film's thinking and commercial nature. He has made great contributions to the perfect combination of the main theme and commercial nature of "Liberation Day"; Director Duane has always been neat and neat. Looking at previous films, he has to be thorough in business, and he wants to be thorough in art, and a style runs through the entire film and never drags on it. This is also applicable in "Liberation Day". Director Zhang Yi has been constantly discussing the unity of art and business in recent years. He has always been famous for the grand and beautiful pictures in business. This also reflects the clean and bright pictures of "Liberation Day" in "Liberation Day". I believe Director Zhang has a great role in it..."
The "Huashang Daily" analyzed it from an investment perspective.
"...The scale of "Liberation Day" has reached an unprecedented 400 million yuan. Including the promotional expenses that have not yet been released, the total cost is expected to exceed 600 million yuan. Combined with its production cost, the producers' income in the theater market will be between 500 million and 600 million yuan. From a long-term perspective, its yield rate is even more inestimable, which can be said to be a huge profit. The failure of "The Greatest" production once made many investors retreat from the big production model, but "Liberation Day" proved the feasibility of big production returns from another perspective. I believe that it will rekindle some investors' interest in big productions. "Liberation Day" even tailored the success template for them..."
Although the high return rate of "Saw" is enviable, it is irreplicable and can be seen on the ceiling. "Liberation Day" is different: it does not require a very creative idea like "Saw". It has visible templates to invest a lot of money. Find a few well-known directors who have proven themselves in business and find a group of well-known actors. Once the gorgeous picture is completed, just wait to collect money. It is not impossible to pass the box office record of "Liberation Day".
China's economy is developing rapidly, and the idle funds in society are getting bigger and bigger. China now does not lack rich people, but what it lacks is effective investment channels. In this case, investors prefer specific templates that can be controlled, rather than the model that opens their eyes and tries to explore largely the luck. Therefore, "Saw" is destined to be unable to cause a trend, but "Liberation Day" can.
"Xiqin Metropolis Daily" analyzed it from the perspective of an actor.
"... Looking at the cast of "Liberation Day", Gong Li and Liang Jiahui are veteran and well-known actors, Zhu Qian and Jia Hongsheng are well-known actors who have become popular in the past two years. Du An and Ying Qiao can be attributed to the category of new actors, and the three lines go hand in hand and go hand in hand. The vastness of the scope of actor selection has also further expanded the audience of "Liberation Day". No matter what age you are, you can find the actors you are familiar with and like in this movie. I believe this is also the secret of "Liberation Day"... Ying Qiao, an unknown newcomer, debuted from "Good Chinese Actor", has become the hottest little actress at this stage in just one year. It is reported that many movies have extended olive branches to her, and many people believe that she will become the next Zhu Qian. After "Some Girl" and "Star Girl", the title of "Du Girl" has also begun to appear in the circle..."
Some gossip newspapers even began to reveal that the pay of actors who participated in the performance of "Liberation Day" has collectively increased, especially Ying Qiao has increased the most. This young actress who has only performed one movie has now paid 5 million yuan in films, which can be said to have become famous overnight.
Whether it was with the popularity of the trend or in-depth exploration, when people calmed down, although "Liberation Day" still dominated the headlines of most media, it had retreated from the front page. Similarly, in the reports starting on Tuesday, Duane also walked down from the altar of the past two days. People began to pay more attention to the factors behind the success of "Liberation Day". So they saw investment, actors, and directors. In this case, the "Duan Puppet Theory" that appeared some time ago reappeared on some media pages.
Some newspapers at the next level are not afraid of influence and are more daring to say that they have begun to speak first, saying that just like "Looking for Guns", in "Liberation Day", Du An is just a puppet, and the ones who play more roles are Zhang Yimou and Huang Jianxin, or even Xie Jin. Du An is just because of his luck, he has the title of director.
Even Du An himself once admitted that the success of "Liberation Day" is closely related to Zhang Yi's, because Zhang Yi's "overcoming himself."
The Chinese people have a very strange psychology, that is, the widespread remarks of the big newspapers are not credible, and the conspiracy theories that seem to make sense in the tabloids are the truth. Under the guidance of this psychology, many people gradually began to feel that the truth of the matter is really like this, and it is more in line with their logic in their hearts. Compared with a director who has been in the industry for three years or halfway through the industry, it is reasonable to break the box office record by the former record holder.
Moreover, such logic has a tendency to spread and may even become mainstream thoughts in the future. Just like "Looking for Guns", even if Jiang Wen came forward to clarify that he did not bully 6 ships, he just put forward some opinions and did not control the entire movie, but no one believed it. People believed that what they thought was made by 6 ships? What's the matter? Don't deny it.
The water in the entertainment industry is too mixed, and no one can guarantee that they know the truth, let alone these people outside. They can only interpret it from the most reasonable perspective. (This paragraph does not represent the author's position, because the author did not join the group and did not know the truth)
Moreover, in "Looking for Gun", Jiang Wen was only an actor but not a director's team, and such a reasonable mainstream thought was spread. In "Liberation Day", Zhang Yi was in the director's team, and Du An also made clear relevant remarks, which made people's imagination more extensive.
So for a moment, such thoughts began to spread gradually, and even some industry insiders who didn't understand the inside story couldn't help but have such ideas.
But Duane now has no time to pay attention to these news.
"Liberation Day" was painted under the account. He just attended the record-breaking and perfect celebration dinner in Shanghai on Monday. He flew directly to Beijin the next day, but his mood was not as beautiful as many outsiders speculated, and even a little bad because he received a message.
Jia Hongsheng may not be able to star in "The World of Truman". (To be continued.)8
