Chapter 21 Hit the Stone with an Egg? (1/4)(1/2)
The relationship between Shen Changlin and Liu Qianqian should be considered friends.
It's not like he hasn't thought about it - exchanging resources for bodily fluids...
Let's forget it, this girl is so Buddhist, she doesn't seem to care at all, and has never mentioned it on her own initiative...
She always asked Shen Changlin how to judge the quality of a work before filming started...
It is recognized that Shen Changlin has outstanding vision!
But Shen Changlin will only emphasize the script...
Will he tell the real reason?
If you are a reborn person, you can also accurately judge the prospects of a drama...
In fact, movies are very risky. You have done all the work, but the audience just doesn't buy it - "Blood of the Machine", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"...
When judging a work, the script is only one of the factors.
Good script = good resources?
This sentence is not true.
So many movies adapted from classic novels have flooded the market. Agatha Christie’s adaptations have been adapted one after another, but how many of them are really blockbusters?
There are so many good scripts in Hollywood, but in the end most of them are ignored!
The script model of large-scale productions is basically a three-part classic structure, but there are still only those hits every year.
If the script is important, then in the past when Hong Kong films were in their glory days, it was all about flying paper. The actors didn't even know what they were doing, and whether they were good or bad could only depend on luck.
Are "Days of Being Wild", "Happy Together" and "In the Mood for Love" good scripts?
so…
It is not true that the script is a representative work!
That team?
Let's put it this way, "Kung Fu King" VS "Painted Skin", regardless of the lineup or the behind-the-scenes team, the former beats the latter, but the box office - the domestic box office is just the opposite.
It’s too long, then “The Wandering Earth”!
Is the script of this movie great?
A clichéd rescue type, except for one interesting point: it focuses on doing big things.
But one thing is for sure!
Cultural differences can easily lead to acclimatization. Even if a Hong Kong director goes north, it will be difficult, let alone a Western director? The probability of failure of a co-production is much higher than that of a successful one.
He told Liu Qianqian this, but he didn't know if she would believe it.
…
Early the next morning, Shen Changlin went downstairs wearing black glasses...
I can't help it, I didn't get a good rest last night, and my eyes are bloodshot.
Everyone in the crew is pretty much the same!
Wang Kai and Jiang Su Ying probably didn’t sleep much either…
After all, Superman is released today!
What is the concept of facing a Hollywood super-A-level production head-on?
Hitting an egg against a stone?
Although Shen Changlin had confidently said before that "Superman" is only an American "Superman" and it won't work well in China!"
but…
Who knows?
Just like when "Avatar" was introduced, many people, including China Film Group, thought it would be worth at most 500 million, but it ended up with a box office of 1.3 billion!
The schedule for these two days is very tight. Today I have to visit several theaters in Shanghai, then I will go to Shenzhen for promotion that night, I will go to Guangzhou the day after tomorrow, and I have to fly to Wuhan the day after tomorrow...
A big first-line ticket warehouse!
There is no way, now that the commercial market is opening up, all you have to fight for is exposure. If you don’t steal the audience, others will.
After sitting down and carrying a bunch of food, Shen Changlin looked at a few people and said, "Eat!"
"Um,"
"OK…"
After a while, Jiang Suying suddenly raised his head and asked: "Director, what did the audience ask during the road show promotion?"
Shen Changlin swallowed the milk, frowned and asked, "Does your agent have nothing to say to you?"
"He probably said a little bit, but he didn't explain the specific things..."
Shen Changlin smiled: "...keep smiling, no matter what he asks, answer with a smile. If you really can't answer, we will help!"
Jiangsu Ying nodded...
Well, her worries were a bit unnecessary. She was basically asking Shen Changlin.
And the questions are all about Superman...
"It will be released on the same schedule as "Superman", what are your real thoughts?"
"...I feel very nervous, but I feel honored to be able to compete with Hollywood super-A-level productions..."
"Then do you think "The Thieves" is better than "Superman"?"
"I think the choice is up to the audience, and we have enough screens for two movies..."
…
People like Shen Changlin will never criticize or praise someone when doing publicity.
There are a lot of DC fans in China!
"Shazam!" is so bad, but there are still a lot of people who praised it: "The ultimate analysis of the connection between hidden Easter eggs and comics in "Shazam!"", "Returning to the starting point of superhero comics, simple but not straightforward emotional foil, easy to understand but The story is not superficial, it is joyful, and heartwarming, allowing you to regain your innocent heart.'
As the boss of DC, Superman has great popularity and appeal.
It's better not to offend these fans.
Just when these people were running a road show in Shanghai, after a day of fermentation, "The Band of Thieves" ushered in the media, and the portal website flooded the screen on a large scale.
But now that print media is declining, no one pays attention to it. You have to read online comments, mostly on Weibo...
Many big V film critics have given full marks. Well, I must thank "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" for this...
They are both large-scale productions, action and crime films. Compared with it, "The Band of Thieves" is simply the best in film history!
"It's really a climax. I thought that after the opening story was awesome, the ending would be difficult to wrap up, but unexpectedly it turned out well. If domestic movies are like this, we have nothing to fear from Hollywood!"
——Zhou Liming;
"Shen Changlin is really awesome. The 95-minute movie has twists and turns, a fast pace and cool magic special effects. This is a popcorn movie!"
——Shi Hang;
"It's so cool. This movie is what a domestic blockbuster should be like! Let's make a sequel as soon as possible!"
A bunch of friends in the industry also started the campaign, and most of them commented like this...
Never mind whether you mean it or not!
By the way, Liu Shishi's review of the movie was very simple: "Chang Lin told me before that he wanted to make a real popcorn movie, and I said, 'Don't look for me, I have artistic pursuits!'", and watched " "The Band of Thieves", I regret it very much. Can I take back this sentence?'
Haha, it’s very true. It didn’t mention the movie in a single sentence, but it was praising it!
Most of the comments from netizens are positive:
"The imagination is amazing, Shen Changlin is amazing!"
"This is a good popcorn movie, a beautiful commercial film, and a visual feast!"
“The easter eggs are so interesting, I’m looking forward to the sequel!”
Of course, there are also many negative reviews.
"Fake as hell!"
"I fell asleep the whole time. What's wrong with Shen Changlin? He can't tell stories anymore?"
"The thunder was loud and the rain was light, but there were a bunch of gorgeous cast members, and I slept the whole show!"
It is understandable that some may really not like it, and some may be the actor's negative fans. For example, Deng Chao - through "Running Man", although he has countless fans, he also has a large number of negative fans.
Some are Shen Changlin's negative fans - he just trolled Hong Kong and Taiwan Xiaosheng and Guo Xiaosi two days ago. Of course, their fans hate him to death.
…
It is said that after "The Band of Thieves" was released, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" was suspended...
It's only been out for 12 days!
