Lisko’s American Life

Today in China, Su Maoyang maintains an excited and proud attitude almost all day long, standing at the entrance of the most luxurious theater in his own theater chain, constantly saying hello to every familiar face, and at the same time leading each other with a very enthusiastic attitude, Go to the appropriate theater.

After almost all the guests had arrived, Su Maoyang, who had originally prepared a speech, didn't have much thought to carry out these necessary links, so he just waved his hand and gave the corresponding signals to the projectionists, so that the other party could respond in time. Put into work, and complete all the processes according to the previous plan.

Seeing this, I believe everyone already has an idea in their minds. Yes, the previous film has been stumbling and polished for a long time, and finally it has come to an end. After the post-production work is completed, the next link is to invite domestic Representatives of powerful theater chains and professionals from distribution companies conduct small-scale trial viewing activities, and use their own experience to analyze the potential of the film and the possible box office.

After all, only when they are approved by these people will they make a corresponding schedule and share based on their own evaluation. Although their own theater company can directly give this film 100% of the schedule, but this does not conform to the basic laws of market operation. At the same time, because of the area covered by its theater chain, only a few nearby provinces and cities have not reached the point of unifying the whole country. The opinions and evaluations of these people are still quite important.

And the one who is as nervous as Su Maoyang is naturally our national teacher. Although he is very confident in his director level, he also has a glorious history. Even this kind of similar link has almost gone through in his first half of his life. Too many times.

But it may be because he placed too much expectations on this film, and even the current environment he encountered made it difficult for him to support the reason. During this link, the national teacher actually felt the long-lost tension, and even felt a little uneasy. , eagerly want to follow everyone to see the finished product after editing and producing by myself.

For every director, his work is like his own child, and he puts all his heart and soul into it almost during the production process, but it is not up to him whether the child is good or not. Accept the test of the market and the evaluation of everyone.

Before making this film, the national teacher experienced several works that were not so good in terms of word of mouth and box office. It was this work that made some slight cracks appear on his original golden body. It doesn't have much impact on the status of the public, but it will inevitably make the public lower their expectations of themselves.

In addition, apart from designing a few films and gaining a great reputation in the world, I have seldom produced outstanding works for so many years, so that all my colleagues in the international film industry can taste and appreciate them. For the teacher, it is a difficult thing for him to accept. After all, after the glory, it is almost difficult to endure the mediocrity. He also urgently needs a film to let all his previous criticisms be cleaned up this time. .

It may be that they realized that it was about to enter the movie-watching session. The representatives of the theaters who were chatting with each other, chatting and guessing how exciting the movie would be, all kept quiet, after all. Everyone is a high-quality talent, and I have experienced too many times in this kind of movie viewing. The reason why I am looking forward to it today is mainly because this work is adapted from Lisko’s novel, and at the same time I heard that Su Maoyang invested a lot of money in this film, trying to restore the background era and all the scenes of the original work as much as possible.

In addition, the film produced by the strong cooperation with the National Teacher should still be very good, and it can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the relatively low film market during this period.

Since entering the new century, for all film and television production companies, there has always been a slogan and feeling, that is, in this era, only channels and theaters are king, and almost all other practitioners are these two vassal.

From the point of view of the theater chain, no matter whether the film is released at the box office or not, they are not at a loss. The only difference is that they earn more and less. It can be said that in the current era, if you own a movie theater, you can continuously The corresponding ticket fees are constantly charged, and almost a large part of the box office of a film is taken away by theaters and theaters.

Building a theater is a one-shot deal. After you build it, all the subsequent profits will be almost regarded as lying on the original basis and enjoying the share.

But as any practitioners in the film and television industry, they all hope that the current environment will continue to maintain a vigorous and upward trend, because only in this way can they continue to stand in this industry to obtain huge profits, and at the same time Also affected by the environment, the profits and reputation continue to increase.

In this state, they naturally hope that more and more blockbuster films will be put into the market, and the original box office record will be continuously improved. Attraction, from the original watching movies in front of the computer, to going to the theaters for on-the-spot experience, for them, it is a relatively successful publicity and a scene they are looking forward to.

You must know that the most difficult work on the market to obtain the adaptation copyright is the novel published by Lisko. Because of the lack of money, and the reason for cherishing his own works and reputation, few people can get it from Lisko's hands. Obtaining the right to adapt the work, even many Hollywood giants often hit a wall on this matter.

Although in terms of the world's film industry, almost all of Hollywood's giants can be said to have hands and eyes, but Lisko has never had a lot of intersection with them, and they don't even have any interests. As a writer who is not short of money, if he doesn't want to sell his coordinate adaptation rights, he can't put a gun on the other party's head and force him.

Of course, Li Sko is not the kind of person who doesn't care about human feelings. If the other party's strength and plan are really good, he will also grant the other party the right to change in a short-term. After all, only film and television adaptations and all copyrights can be fully developed. Only then can the influence of this work reach its peak.

And the origin of a writer's fame is the feedback brought by his own works. Any writer or literati who is engaged in the novel industry will inevitably be unable to resist this temptation.

Before watching the film, many theater representatives already had secret expectations in their hearts. Not to mention 100% restoration of the novel’s brilliance, humanities and environment, as long as it has 30% of the other party’s charm, the box office of this film will not be so low. Go, and even become the best work for the award.
