China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"In front of Avatar, these so-called Chinese-language blockbusters are like kindergarten children showing off their knowledge in front of graduate students. They are completely unworthy of the stage and make everyone laugh."

"I thought that Chinese-language films were only inferior to Hollywood in terms of technical level, but now it seems that they are inferior in all aspects."

"This Spring Festival, without the road safety, the fig leaf of Chinese-language movies has been completely torn off by Avatar."

The Spring Festival period was very exciting, but it only lasted for three days, and the direction of public opinion completely changed. Then after the 7-day Spring Festival period ended, the ambitions and high confidence of each film crew before the Spring Festival period were full of confidence.

Soon it turned into overwhelming condemnation from society.

The public's evaluation of this Spring Festival show is also final, that is, it is extremely bad and disappointing.

The reason is also very obvious.

That is, the quality of the movie is really poor.

Some movies are just bad.

But everyone is actually very poor, and the difference is huge!

It's understandable if the director's ability is not that good as the screenwriter.

But this Spring Festival show has a famous director on board!

But even a great director like Lao Mouzi actually delivered the worst work of his career.

This is really disappointing.

Of course, there are also pretty good movies among them, such as Cheng Long's "Little Soldiers".

But the quality of the movie is not particularly good, after all, it is only 7.0.

And this 7.0 rating may have been set off by peers.

This also makes all Chinese-language movies in this Spring Festival "roughly" bad.

The key is that this Spring Festival season is not limited to Chinese-language movies.

There is also a masterpiece "Avatar" in it.

With it, it makes all the Chinese-language movies look even worse.

Everyone was even more angry.

I thought that Chinese-language films and this kind of landmark works could not be compared to the norm, but they could still display their own characteristics.

Although defeat is still glorious, this result is not unacceptable to everyone.

As a result, it doesn’t have any special features, but it’s just worse than anything else.

To put it more broadly, it means that in the confrontation between Eastern and Western film culture and technology, the East is regressing while the West is progressing.

How can you let the people in China resist scolding you?

However, anger is a matter for the masses.

As those with vested interests such as capital, they are actually quite happy.

Because the seven-day box office for the entire Spring Festival last year only just exceeded 1.2 billion.

The seven-day box office during this year's Spring Festival period was more than last year, reaching 1.27 billion.

Although "Avatar" accounted for nearly 400 million, other Chinese-language films also shared 800 million.

This 800 million is divided equally among 6 movies, each of which has more than 100 million.

Of course, in these seven days, due to the competition between film schedules and promotions, "Three Guns", "Little Soldier" and "The Treasure Box" became the "top three".

The box office is 220 million, 170 million and 160 million respectively.

The remaining movies shared 250 million.

Among them, "Su Qier", which had the lowest box office, also received about 70 million this time.

Of course, compared with its cost of 130 million, it is definitely still some distance away from profitability.

But other movies are different.

For example, the cost of "Three Guns" was claimed to be 40 million, and with the announcement and distribution claimed to be 80 million, it has now reached 220 million in seven days, which is almost the same as the original cost.

There is also "Little General". The film is said to cost US$25 million, but the actual cost is less than US$5 million (Cheng Long later personally broke the news). In short, the actual cost is not as high as US$25 million.

Now that we have won 170 million in seven days, the mainland tasks have been overfulfilled.

The same goes for "Yueguang Treasure Box", with a cost of 35 million yuan, plus a maximum of 60 million yuan for publicity and distribution. In the end, it earned 160 million yuan in seven days, and the pressure to repay the capital was almost zero.

So overall, within seven days of the Spring Festival period, the box office of the rest of the period was at least half a month.

This indeed shows that the Spring Festival stall has been activated and has unlimited vitality.

Industry insiders have also determined that the Spring Festival period is the most powerful among all domestic periods!

And looking at the movies that have been squeezed into the Spring Festival stalls and can maintain a certain schedule, as long as the quality is decent, it is not a problem to take over 100 million in box office in seven days.

The other film producers were jealous.

They have begun to target the Spring Festival next year.

How could such a fat stall be closed?

We still have to make money!

So we can’t really stink up the Spring Festival stalls.

The industry has taken action.

The most important one is to transfer conflicts.

Now the people are very angry, what should we do?

Of course you have to pay attention!

So everyone directly sacrificed Lao Mouzi and Jie Lun to the flag!

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Which one of your two films has the worst rating?

So I'm sorry!

Soon, Jaylen was the first to be picked out.

Some netizens said it directly.

Ci Ling: 3.7 points

Su Qier: 4.9 points

Pandaren: 4.1 points

Jay Chou has finally completed this year's "囧囧" trilogy, with an average score of less than 4.5, absolutely maintaining quality and quantity.

Jay was really embarrassed at this time.

But the good thing is that he is not from the film industry.

So although it was criticized, it was just a matter of wind.

But Lao Mouzi was miserable.

"Three Guns" received the lowest ratings of his career.

It was also at the bottom of the list during the entire Spring Festival.

The result was the highest box office.

This is a matter of naked interest.

This directly triggered public outrage!

In addition, everyone originally wanted Lao Mouzi to take the blame for "Avatar".

If the quality of "Three Guns" is remarkable, it's really hard to find a breakthrough.

But now, Lao Mouzi has killed him completely and sent him to his door, so why don't he spray him severely?

"'Avatar' and '2012' are so awesome. As one of the best directors in China, why can't you see it? How dare you make such a film?!"

"I spent 3 million US dollars to buy the copyright of the Coen brothers and produced something like this. It's really hard to believe that this was made by a top domestic director."

"The cost is 40 million, the box office is 220 million, he makes the money, and the shit is thrown to the audience, national master, national master, are you worthy of this title!"

"."

Overwhelming curses.

Lao Mouzi was once again under fire.

The most cruel one is "It's hard to imagine how bad it would have been if the Olympics had not been safe and only Lao Mouzi had been the director!"

One movie almost wiped out the title of "National Preceptor".

When Zhang Weiping saw this, he was quite dedicated.

He quickly made a counterattack.

Soon there were many reports on the market.

For example, the various soft reviews of "Three Guns" are all positive.

This is also his usual approach.

There are also realistic reports.

For example, a local newspaper reported that movie fans in a certain area complained to the cinema, saying that the cinema cut out the dance at the end of "Three Guns", which made everyone very dissatisfied. Everyone liked to watch the dance and dance together.

He also said that he likes to watch the jokes about "Three Guns", and Lao Zhao's team is very happy.

An expert also stood up and said that the "Danxia Landform" must be protected as it is a Chinese treasure.

Generally speaking, "Three Guns" has actually made contributions to food, tourism, Northeastern culture, etc.

For example, since "Three Guns", the Danxia landform has really become a protected area.

But movies are movies after all.

If Zhang Weiping can control the "experts", can he also control what the audience thinks?

"The Spring Festival stall that Lu Ping An opened, I'm afraid it will be closed by these people again this time."

“I agree with the one above, but it’s not just the Spring Festival stalls that are closed.”

The scolding continued.

For a time, Lao Mouzi's situation fell to the bottom again.

In this regard, Lao Mouzi himself is not as unbearable as the outside world imagines.

After experiencing the Olympics, my blood has become thicker and my ability to withstand stress has become stronger.

Faced with the poor reputation of the movie, the first thing Lao Mouzi thought of was to invite Northeastern Lao Zhao to dinner to apologize.

After all, this time the movie was bad, and Lao Zhao and others were also affected.

And Lao Zhao was invited by Zhang Weiping at that time, so he would naturally feel that this was his own problem, at least in front of Lao Zhao, he must say so.

Lao Zhao didn't care much, so he agreed directly.

But what I didn't expect was that on the day of the meal, Zhang Weiping came.

After drinking and getting drunk, Zhang Weiping had nowhere to vent his inner unhappiness, and began to scold Lu Ping An, saying, "This guy must have known the quality of "Avatar" for a long time, so he avoided the Spring Festival show. Now look, everyone is After being scolded, he became a savior, what the hell!”

As soon as these words were said, the faces of Lao Zhao and Lao Mouzi suddenly became extremely ugly.

Neither of them agreed with this, and Lao Zhao even felt that Zhang Weiping was nothing. Speaking ill of another person in front of others showed that this person's character was not good enough.

And because Lu Ping'an had a good relationship with him, Lao Zhao didn't answer Zhang Weiping's words at all.

As a result, Zhang Weiping saw that Lao Zhao was so disrespectful, so he poked Lao Zhao in the head with his hand, and then blamed Lao Zhao's team for the failure of "Three Guns".

When Lao Zhao heard this, his face turned dark and he left angrily.

Lao Mouzi also turned dark and asked Zhang Weiping: "How could you do this to him?"

Zhang Weiping said indifferently: "I heard that he had an operation and a tube, so I just wanted to see if I could puncture it."

Lao Mouzi: "You have gone too far!"

Zhang Weiping drank alone: ​​"I have never had a good relationship with him. I came here today because I wanted to scold him in person to relieve my anger."

When Lao Mouzi heard this, he was furious and stared at Zhang Weiping for a long time, but in the end he said nothing and just left the table to catch up with Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao didn't have much objection to Lao Mouzi, but he just reminded him: "This person is too yin, so you should be more careful."

After saying that, Lao Zhao left directly.

Lao Mouzi's face was full of embarrassment.

He finally saw Zhang Weiping clearly.

But, it is really difficult to leave him.

On the other side, Han Sanpin and Lu Pingan were also sitting together discussing the Spring Festival stalls.

During this period, Han Sanpin also raised the topic of Lao Mouzi: "Ping An, are you interested in cooperating with Lao Mouzi?"

Lu Ping'an raised his eyelids and said: "If he wants to join Xingchen, I am definitely willing, but it depends on whether he is happy or not."

Lao Mouzi's ability to attract money is still very strong.

The cost of "Three Guns" will not exceed 25 million at most. This is calculated by Xingchen. Compared with the actual cost, the box office of 220 million is a huge profit!

And the fact that this film was so poor and so good at the box office is enough to show that his base is really solid.

Later facts also proved this point. Many older viewers actually still recognize Lao Mouzi very much.

Of course, it is not certain whether there are many dark operations involved.

But if Lao Mouzi really comes to the stars, will he still need to clean up the box office?

Lao Mouzi has a good international influence, so we really need to match him with a suitable script.

Lu Ping'an's big plan to officially introduce Chinese-language films to the world can be carried out more easily.

Well, to put it bluntly, it is profitable, so cooperation is definitely no problem. Of course, Lu Ping An will take the lead in the interests, but this may not be easy to achieve, so Lu Ping An only said this to Han Sanpin.

After hearing this, Han Sanpin nodded to express his understanding, stopped talking about this topic, and then started the topic.

As the head of Chinese film industry.

This Spring Festival season is like this. Even if the overall box office is taken out, it can still be regarded as a political achievement.

But how could he ignore the actual situation?

During this Spring Festival, Chinese-language films can be said to be in disarray, even endangering the grand topic of the domestic film industry.

But for this situation, Han Sanpin didn't have many solutions.

Among them, the most reliable and effective one is Lu Ping'an.

Now after the Spring Festival release, Lu Ping An has become the anchor of the domestic film industry.

If you want to stabilize the situation, you have to let him take action.

So Han Sanpin then said seriously:

"Peace, you've finished your TV series, so it's time to start a new movie, right?" (End of Chapter)
