Millennium director

The Spring Festival of 2014 was a very lively one, at least for Wu Yuan, although he didn't even go to the cinema to watch the Spring Festival movie.

There are no blockbuster movies in this year's Spring Festival. A smash hit "Journey to the West", a movie "Macao Fengmen" joined by Da Tiantian and a big movie "Where Are We Going, Dad" have dominated the scene. This year’s Spring Festival stalls.

They were originally going to join the fight together with "The Ex-Raiders", but due to the emergence of the light and shadow era, it was released as early as the summer of 2013 and achieved a good box office result of 210 million, so there was no chance of getting involved.

The reason why this year's Spring Festival is very lively is because of the movie "Where Are We Going, Dad?" A variety show movie derived from a variety show, which shocked the jaws of countless veterans.

This Spring Festival, "Where Are We Going, Dad" is soaring on the screen!

On the day it was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year alone, it grossed nearly 90 million yuan at the box office, setting new records for first-day box office, single-day attendance, and attendance for 2D domestic films.

In the end, it won the Spring Festival 2D movie championship with a total box office of 695 million, beating many Hollywood blockbusters and ranking at the top of the 2014 box office list.

This is how the ranking of fan economy was born!

The major capitals have finally caught a glimpse of this avenue of making money, making money, and making fans.

At this point, the era of "variety movies" in the next few years has been launched.

After seeing various popular variety shows with the new wealth code, they all became interested in making a variety show movie.

"Extreme Challenge Movie" and "Running Movie" are all ready to be launched.

It’s a wonderful Spring Festival holiday, and because of this movie, netizens and so-called insiders in the industry have become extremely hyped.

The phenomenon of reality TV shows being put on the big screen has made people see the abnormal state of the film industry.

Although this movie has deceived a lot of box office, the existence of this heretic whose purpose is purely to make money has greatly restricted the development of China's real film industry and hurt many people in the industry who are serious about making movies, as well as those who love movies. Movie fans.

Some filmmakers have called for these variety shows to be kept on TV. Otherwise, once this kind of insincere, scriptless, and money-making products that rely on the popularity of the program occupy a large number of already crowded movie schedules and crowd out real movies, then, How many people are left in China who are serious about making movies? They all went out to make money with crooked ideas!

The shooting cycle of this kind of reality show movies is very short. Most of them take about a week to shoot, and one or two months of post-production before being released.

Blockbusters by famous directors often take several years of planning before they can be released. What do they think?

Even if these works are not about making money, they are just about making quick money.

An industry insider revealed that the biggest controversy over this type of movie is that its production cycle is too short, so some people call it "a deformed child born of the fan economy."

In terms of film artistry, this is devastating to the market, because when looking for investment, they will be judged by the fast-food business model.

In the eyes of movie fans, the reality show was developed into a movie and grabbed the New Year's Eve slot. Although the box office was ridiculously high, the reputation was quite polarizing.

Ordinary passers-by who are not fans of this variety show think that this kind of reality show is put on the big screen. It is so ugly and outrageous.

But fans of this variety show don't think there's anything wrong with it. Instead, they think it's something relaxing to watch during the New Year. This type of movie focuses on familiarity and doesn't require a lot of thinking, which is good.

The two parties also exchanged passionate insults on the Internet, which was quite lively.

Newsmen from various media also used various channels to interview people in the industry, hoping that they could express their opinions on this kind of movie. They even said that they could report anonymously because the topic was relatively sensitive.

Translated, it means the same thing. You should open the mic quickly and join in the mutual chatter to make this matter even hotter and cause trouble!

Even on Wu Yuan's side, several media outlets he had worked with before came to him, hoping that he could express his opinion on this matter.

Because it is no secret that Wu Yuan is currently preparing for his new movie. Everyone even knows that his new movie is a science fiction blockbuster with an expected production cycle of three years.

He is exactly the one who refutes what people say: "It often takes several years of planning before a movie can be released."

However, Wu Yuan had no intention of expressing his opinion.

He is the one who holds the script and knows that this kind of movie is just a flash in the pan, a deformed product that will inevitably appear when the movie market explodes.

Spring is when a hundred flowers bloom.

With the explosion of the domestic film market, there will always be weird films appearing.

These movies are all fast food. In fact, they are just derivatives of the consumer market's pursuit of these popular variety shows.

"Running Brothers" is still a variety show co-produced by the company of Light and Shadow Times. After seeing how well the "Where Are We Going, Dad" movie sold, Light and Shadow Times wanted to make a big movie of "Running Brothers". Wu Yuan He didn't mean to stop refusing.

Because he knows that this is the normal state of development, and there is no need to prematurely say that these movies are bad or criticize them.

Now that these variety shows are so popular, it is inevitable to produce a movie version and become popular.

After all, there is a basis for the show's popular ratings, but within two years, when the audience's novelty is exhausted, it will naturally not be as popular as it is now.

All variety shows are like this. After reaching a peak, they will inevitably fall back. It is impossible to remain popular for a long time.

There is only a window period of two years, at most three or five variety shows like this will be made, and there will be no more such movies in the future.

Some people in the industry are worried that this kind of variety show movie will squeeze the market of normal movies and become the mainstream of the future market. Bad money drives out good money, which is impossible.

So there is no need to react so strongly.

This is just the beginning?

You know, "Where Are We Going, Dad?" is just the primitive form of "fan economy". In the next few years, with the return of the four Korean wave boys, the real fan movie era has just begun!

Therefore, Wu Yuan did not intend to stop the company from following the trend and making a "Running Brothers" movie. The main reason is that if you don't do this kind of thing, others will do it. Others are making money from this. He has no reason to stop his own company from getting a share of it.

Being a director and being a boss are two different things. Directors can pursue art and artistic ethics, but capitalists have no bottom line, let alone talk about artistic ethics.

Therefore, when faced with reporters and media coming to him to express their opinions, Wu Yuan refused them all.

Light and Shadow Times will be more or less involved in this matter. Although it is just an investment in a similar movie, Wu Yuan can no longer speak out about this phenomenon.

You can't blame yourself, right?

But if he is asked to praise this kind of movie, Wu Yuan is really embarrassed. This kind of movie is indeed a deformed product of the hot capital, without any advantages.

The best way to deal with it is to deal with it coldly, not to respond, and to focus on his "Ready Player One".

As Wu Yuan gradually sorted out the myriad of preparatory work in the early stage, on the first working day after the Spring Festival, Wu Yuan summoned all the leading actors of "Ready Player One"!
