China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 586 Let’s be more open-minded

River culture.

Tian Shenxuan closed the office door hard, making a sound that made the employees outside the office look at each other, and then winked at each other.

Several people in the office were also startled by the slamming of the door.

Even a fool can tell that the boss is not in a good mood.

Tian Shenxuan had a gloomy face and glanced at his subordinates: "Tell me, what do you think?"

After a while, it was Zhao Qiming, the head of the publicity and planning department, who took the lead.

"Judging from my personal movie-watching experience and current public opinion, the reputation of "Li Yannian" is probably unstoppable and will continue to ferment. However, the box office conversion brought by word-of-mouth is also related to the subject matter and the style of the movie. Specifically,

It’s hard to say what kind of changes it will bring to the market.

However, "Li Yannian" still lacks in typical commercial elements. Judging from the past experience of the market, commercial movies with personal heroism are still the mainstream taste. What I can confirm is that "Li Yannian" is unlikely to be the second one.

"Wolf Fang II"."

"Ha!" Tian Shenxuan almost laughed: "Do you need to say this? If it's the second "Langya II", why should I call you guys?"

Although this is not the result he hopes to see, it is indeed the most likely result.

Can his imagination be used in a film dedicated to the Korean War? Not to mention that this is a biographical film.

But I heard that Guan Hu from Beijing Film Academy did some tricks in "King Kong River".

But the future development depends on "Li Yannian", how the reputation is, and whether the audience buys it. The "polarized" reputation of "King of the Sky" is already known, and there is no room for change.

Not to mention the predicted 2 billion box office, if we can add 200 million to the existing 1.03 billion in the remaining half of the month, it will be considered God’s blessing.

Zhao Qiming shook his head slightly: "In terms of reputation, there is nothing that can be done about "King of the Sky" to improve it. It is not easy to maintain the existing reputation without deterioration.

In addition, "Li Yannian" is a temporary project that Tian Xinye added after he just finished filming "Sky Eagle Warrior".

There have been a lot of war tribute films released in the past two years. In my opinion, "War on Mountain" is already very good. Can it be even bigger than "War on Mountain"?"

Even DreamWorks couldn't make Tian Shenxuan take a high look at this project.

Just bury the new film, and keep watching "Li Yannian". If I don't give it to you, you can't take it away.

"Then we'll deal with the worst possibility."

In that case, although "King of the Sky" will be released not long ago, its theatrical journey will end prematurely, and the summer season will enter garbage time.

I have to say that DreamWorks did not do any tricks this time, the script is very neat, and of course there are several long shots that are also very powerful, but he has achieved perfection in almost every aspect."

Because he couldn't even figure out how to make a masterpiece with a subject like "Li Yannian"?

Under this plan, the film schedule of "King of the Sky" may steadily decline, slowly giving up the crown to "Li Yannian", and still maintain a certain space.

"Li Yannian" has been released on a large scale now, and we cannot control public opinion."

Zhao Qiming thought about his words and then slowly spoke: "The big scenes of "Li Yannian" are definitely not as big as "Fenghuo Yunshan", but... just for me personally, the audio-visual experience I got, especially by

The emotional mobilization that comes from this completely surpasses "Beacon Fire Cloud Mountain", and even... surpasses many war movies in the past.

However, in my opinion, the best thing about this movie is the literary drama..."

Do you really think that the sledgehammer of "historical nihilism" is just a decoration?

Tian Shenxuan lay back on the back of the chair. Zhao Qiming was his old subordinate and his direct descendant. He may not have much trust in other people's opinions, but he still believed in Zhao Qiming.

The concept is also very natural, which I think is quite rare.

The whole movie is about two hours and twenty minutes, and it actually revolves around defending the 346.6 Heights. However, the literary and martial arts are very substantial, the plot points are well connected, the switching of viewpoints is also wonderful, and the dramatic tension never slackens.

passed, so it doesn’t look tired. This script almost achieves a perfect balance in all aspects.

"Perfect?" Tian Shenxuan and the other two executives were a little surprised. This evaluation still made people a little confused.

Zhao Qiming was originally a screenwriter, and later worked as a producer and supervisor, so when he talks about his old profession, his emotions are even more genuine.

Then coupled with the music and many clever plot settings, the war scenes are almost the highlight of the whole process, and the level of tension and excitement is also the best.

"...the script is so solid. Whether it is lines, character creation, or value, it is all perfect. There is a saying in the screenwriting industry that 'cut out the complex and simplify the three autumn trees, and get the new February flowers with different standards.' The script of "Li Yannian" is

This sentence is a perfect template, even textbook-like...

Therefore, Jianghe also made different plans for "Li Yannian", an opponent that was not originally a heavyweight.

As for "Li Yannian", there is no chance now. For "Sky Eagle Warrior", we relied on DreamWorks' own animation fans' criticism of the live-action version to create such public opinion. And when it is released on a large scale, these public opinions will also be

If you don't attack, you will be defeated.

Usually the big brother of the National Film Festival is making such movies, and then they get a token amount of box office, participate in a few symposiums, and win one or two awards at the Golden Rooster Awards, and then the task of being a cultural propaganda mouth is passed.

The worst outcome is that DreamWorks can use its snail shell as a dojo, spread its magical power to a mediocre project like "Li Yannian", and produce a masterpiece.

First of all, the investment in the movie "Li Yannian" is not large. It is similar to the actual cost of "King of the Sky". After all, DreamWorks usually does not include water when announcing the production cost, which means that the audio-visual spectacle will not be that big.

Make achievements.

Tian Shenxuan still wanted to struggle: "Qiming, you watched the premiere yesterday. Is it really as amazing as the Internet said? I read the feedback online and no one mentioned that this movie has any science fiction elements, just... it's just...

How great can a war movie about the Korean War be?

Yesterday, "King of the Sky" still beat "Li Yannian" with more than 40% of the film schedules, and today it will continue to have more films scheduled than "Li Yannian".

I'm not a military fan, and I don't know much about the military, so I can't analyze it in detail, but it gives me the feeling that his war scenes are too real, and the sense of immersion and substitution is the best among similar ones I've seen.

It is almost the strongest among the themes.

However, after the premiere of "Li Yannian" yesterday, Tian Shenxuan, who was the first to pay attention to the movie's viewing feedback, noticed the trend that made him angry the most from the constant excitement of movie viewing reviews and Amway.

This kind of film is made with a straightforward narrative and is in vain.

Even if "King of the Sky" has recovered its costs and is not afraid of losses, who would complain that the box office is high?

Then the carnival with word-of-mouth swept away other movies in the same period like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, devouring the films in the lineup like gluttons.

Of course, all is said and done, but the proposition of "Li Yannian" is too small and too limited. It is neither a famous campaign nor a star cast, nor does it have a huge investment in production costs.

Tian Shenxuan asked bitterly: "Is there any chance of saving it?"

"What about increasing the publicity? After all, word-of-mouth marketing is also marketing and publicity. The additional budget should also extend the vitality of "King of the Sky"? Even if 2 billion is impossible, I think at least we can raise "The King of the Sky" to

1.5 billion should be possible."

I can only comment that the screenwriter has made a heavenly palace in a snail shell, just like my opinion of the animated film "Wall-E", it is a master level."

Of course, DreamWorks does have advantages in script writing, and the script should not be any worse. Then it will be a well-made, biographical war movie with a good script.

So what about Chen Jingxing? I don’t deny that he is a genius. His brain is indeed different from ordinary people’s, so what?

The second scenario is that "Li Yannian" is a mediocre gift film, or it has a good reputation because of the aura of DreamWorks - this is also a scenario that Jiang Ho previously believed was more likely.

After nightfall, the collaborators of "King of the Sky" kept calling him, which also kept him from sleeping well all night.

"King of the Sky" is still in theaters, and as a major producer, Tian Shenxuan is naturally more concerned about "Li Yannian".

"Yes, I think it is a perfect war movie.

I am not too worried about this possibility when I apply for Honda.

And clearly, it seems likely that the worst has happened.

Secondly, there is really little scope for this subject matter. It is generally believed by everyone in the industry that it was Rao who took over the "1951" project from DreamWorks. A biographical military movie like this belongs to everyone in the tribute film.

Essay about a topic you don’t want to take.

"King of the Sky" still has advantages in terms of subject matter and stars, and can even make up for the gap in reputation to a certain extent.

The best-case scenario is of course that "Li Yannian" is as good as "The King of the Sky" in terms of reputation. In that case, "The King of the Sky" will have an absolute advantage due to its advantages in subject matter, style and cast lineup.

Regarding another executive's suggestion, Zhao Qiming continued to shake his head: "The reputation of "Li Yannian" is already very dangerous now. It's just because there are not enough films scheduled, and it has not yet formed a phenomenal scale of word-of-mouth communication. But maybe tonight, it will be broadcast again

Either tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, a 'typhoon' will form at some point, and then "King of the Sky" will inevitably receive a bad reputation.

If we increase the publicity budget now, there is a high probability that it will be swallowed up by the typhoon, and even a little splash may not be able to splash out, so the gain outweighs the loss."

"Then just watch?"

"At least... "King of the Sky" has also recovered its cost. If you want to be more open-minded... this is force majeure. Who can know beforehand?"
