Chapter 509 The precarious box office record of domestic films

The script of "Charlotte Troubles" has been born, but it is not a movie script, but a script created by Happy Twist's writing team.

If all goes well, starting next year, this drama will become Happy Twist's new leading drama and tour across the country.

It was also because the play "Charlotte's Troubles" performed well at the box office during its nationwide tour, exceeding expectations, that Happy Mahua decided to adapt the play into a movie.

Then it spawned a box office of 1.4 billion, directly making Shen Ma Group the top domestic comedy dark horse movie.

However, with Wu Yuan's intervention in this life, things will of course become different.

"囧", the mainland's first domestically produced comedy film to break 1 billion in box office, shocked the entire Chinese film industry and is a dark horse. It has no connection with Wu Yuan.

He and Xu Zheng were not familiar with each other. Xu Zheng had his own connections to save this movie, so there was little chance for him to get a share of the movie in the Light and Shadow Era.

In this case, with a production cost of 20 million and an investment ratio of 72 times - "Charlotte Troubles" with a super high box office of 1.441 billion, Wu Yuan will naturally not miss it again.

He even felt that Shen Teng had a strong box office physique.

If we can catch him, the Light and Shadow Era will be able to make money easily in the comedy field in the next ten years.

In terms of box office appeal and "evergreen time", Shen Teng is much more stable than Xu Zheng.

Therefore, Wu Yuan held Shen Teng's hand enthusiastically and started making cakes for him as soon as they met.

Zhang Chen on the side was a little surprised. He has not yet had the idea of ​​making a movie about "Charlotte Troubles". After all, the play has not yet been officially released, so he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

But Zhang Chen believed in Wu Yuan's vision unconditionally.

Wu Yuan said that this script has the potential to change the movie, and if it sells well, it means it can really sell well!

This is the authority Wu Yuan has accumulated from never failing in the film industry for ten years!

"Director Wu, are you really optimistic about the book "Charlotte Troubles"?"

Wu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Very optimistic!"

"No one has ever made a movie similar to the rebirth theme in online novels."

"But in the field of online novels, rebirth novels are the most popular subject."

"And you set the time point in the late 1990s, which is another era full of memories."

"Such a magical reality comedy will be very popular."

Wu Yuan did not work backwards from the results to give Zhang Chen a piece of cake.

The drama script of "Charlotte Troubles" is indeed very well done.

Unforgettable campus memories, young love memories, and true love suddenly looking back, through the plot advancement scene after scene, the story theme of "love and dreams" that brings positive energy will continue to deepen.

Witnessing unforgettable moments in the past amidst the laughter and emotion of the audience will make them seriously think about the value of life, happiness and the meaning of success.

If you make comedy just to make people feel funny, you will easily fall into the vicious circle of vulgarity and vulgarity.

But if it is too sublimated, it will be like the Spring Festival Gala sketches in recent years, which force values ​​​​to the point of making the comedy lose its own funnyness and be full of embarrassment.

How to grasp this degree determines the upper limit of a comedy.

Any comedy movie that can sell well and receive wide acclaim across the country must make the audience both funny and moved, making both laughter and tears flow.

"Charlotte Trouble" does this, and does it very successfully.

Therefore, whether this book is made into a play or a movie, the theaters are full and attract countless people to watch.

"After you finish the movie "One Thought in Heaven" and have the experience of making a movie from scratch, prepare to start the project "Charlotte"."

Wu Yuan made plans for Happy Twist's next movie on the spot.

Although the filming of this movie has just started.

But no one would have a problem with it, right?

Looking at the surprised smiles on the faces of the crew and Happy Twist team members at the scene, you can tell how willing they are to continue making movies.

"Okay, everyone, stop surrounding me and continue filming."

"I'm just here to see everyone and encourage you. Come on."

"After all, this is your first time making a movie!"

Wu Yuan smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, and quickly dispersed the staff surrounding him, letting them return to their jobs.

Director Zhang Cheng, who originally wanted to chat more with Wu Yuan, had no choice but to return to his position as director and continue filming.

Maybe Director Wu just wanted to see his film shooting skills so that he could give him some pointers, Zhang Cheng thought in his heart.

However, Wu Yuan actually had no intention of giving any advice at all. Although his eyes were looking at the set, he was thinking about other things in his heart.

Should we censor the movie "Charlotte"?

With Wu Yuan's current status, if he said he wanted to direct this movie, Happy Twist would definitely be given the director's position.

This movie's box office of 1.4 billion is still a bit coveted by Wu Yuan.

It’s time for his domestic box office results to be refreshed.

It is definitely unrealistic to expect "Love Letter", a small-budget love movie, to win more than 1 billion in domestic box office. This is just Wu Yuan's practice work.

But Wu Yuan also knew that starting next year, the domestic movie box office market would really explode.

It is still impossible to achieve a box office performance of over 1 billion this year. It is regarded as a fantastic thing by others, but it will really come true next year, and it will become normal by the year after that, and the year after that.

Movies that exceed 1 billion, 2 billion, and 3 billion at the box office will appear one after another, and the mainland's film market will truly begin to stand shoulder to shoulder with North America.

Of course, this is not something that can be achieved overnight, but is a due return after the major mainland theater chains have frantically expanded their cinemas in the past ten years.

Well, among them, the theater brand of Light and Shadow Times also contributed a lot.

Under such circumstances, the box office record of domestic films held by "Gravity" is already in jeopardy. It is foreseeable that it will be broken at any time, or even be left behind.

If you want to continue to maintain this lead, there are undoubtedly only two choices in the domestic film field, comedy films or science fiction films.

Only these two themes can support a box office of more than one billion.

The former is a movie for all ages, very suitable for the whole family to watch together, and it is easy to generate box office revenue.

The latter is a theme that represents the pinnacle of the film industry and can attract the vast majority of audiences who usually do not go to the cinema. They go to the cinema for the special effects.

Making a science fiction movie is too tiring and the investment is too big. Moreover, Wu Yuan will go to Hollywood to make "The Martian" next. He really doesn't want to make two science fiction movies in a row.

Comedy movies are not his area of ​​expertise.

Although he was very excited about the box office performance of "Charlotte", the idea was quickly killed by him. He was not suitable for comedy.

So how do you maintain your box office record for domestic films?

Is it possible to film the "Ex" series? ! (End of chapter)
