Rebirth: I Want to Surf

This year's annual box office champion is "Monster Hunt" with 2.46 billion.

The runner-up is "Fast and Furious 7" with 2.42 billion.

Paul Walker, one of the leading actors, passed away in a car accident on November 30, 2013. The production was suspended for several months, and then it was decided to find his younger brother to serve as a stand-in to complete the remaining parts.

At the end, I reviewed the images of Paul Walker in the "Fast and Furious" series, and paired with the song "See You Again" that made me feel cocooned, how could the movie fans not shed tears?

Of course, the funny thing is that Vin Diesel didn't even attend Paul's funeral. When announcing the announcement, he talked about brother and shut up about family. And every time a new "Fast" movie is released, he has to come.

Since then, people have given him the nickname: Family Man!

The third is "Avengers 2", the fourth is "Jurassic World", and the fifth is Dapeng's "Pancake Man" with a box office of 1.15 billion.

Dapeng exhausted the popularity of the audience with "Pancake Man", so that when the second film "Sewing Machine Band" was obviously better, it only took over 400 million in box office.

Bad director + bad film + bad marketing + bad audience, this is a closed loop. Don’t single out anyone for scolding. If you want to scold them, scold them together.

This is currently in the top five at the box office of the year, but with the momentum of "Charlotte", it is very possible to have an impact, not to mention there is a blockbuster movie just around the corner.

"The Secret of Searching for the Dragon"!

…

The scale of theatrical movies and online dramas is different. The word "ghost" is not allowed to appear blatantly in the title, so this movie is called "The Secret of the Dragon" instead of "The Secret of the Dragon".

During the preparation stage, Tian Xia Ba Chang did not want to be a screenwriter, but Wu Ershan tricked him and said that you should be a consultant!

Tian Xia Ba Chang went there, and found out that he was dragged into meetings every day to study scripts and figure out plots, and all he did was screenwriting.

"The Secret of the Dragon" is a very rare commercial blockbuster with a high degree of completion.

What exactly is completion?

First of all, the character's personality and behavior are unified, there is no inconsistency, the logic is basically self-consistent, it can be self-explanatory, the story has a beginning and an end, and you can't dig holes without filling them. This is software.

In terms of hardware, it’s service, special effects, etc.

It's very difficult. Since the commercialization of the Chinese film market, there are only a handful of blockbusters that can be described as "complete."

The original work of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is thrilling and full of imagination, but the biggest flaw in the movie is that there is no real villain!

This means that there is no confrontation between good and evil, the backbone of the story is missing, and the source of the dramatic conflict is missing. If it were not filmed according to the original work, it would be okay, but it would only be a special effects adventure documentary.

Therefore, the biggest change in "The Secret of the Dragon" is the addition of the villain played by Liu Xiaoqing.

She is the leader of a cult who claims to save the world and recruit many disciples, but in fact she relies on money and the anesthetic in the ring to control those people.

She had a tumor on her brain and lost all her hair during chemotherapy. She was nagging, believing that the "Bana Flower" could make her immortal or resurrected from the dead, so she hired a trio to rob her tomb.

Well, this is called the backbone of the story, the confrontation between good and evil, the dramatic conflict.

Liu Xiaoqing is 63 years old this year. She has long been transformed from a legendary actress into a legendary joke - she is 70 years old and still plays a girl.

The male lead is 19 years younger than her, and the actor who plays her father is 18 years younger than her.

This drama is called "Snow Sniper 2" and it is a major online movie.

"The Secret of the Dragon" was released on December 20, giving "Charlotte" a 10-day harvest period, and then appeared in front of the audience with a momentum of ending the film industry at the end of the year.

The box office on the first day was 160 million, and it exceeded 600 million in the first week... It went straight to the third place in the annual box office rankings. The third place was originally "Hong Kong", but now it is gone.

"Every aspect basically meets the standards of Hollywood entertainment films. As a popcorn movie, it can be added half a star to Chinese-language films. It is worthy of the audience.

"Huang Bo's performance is good, Xia Yu's stage style is a bit strong, Chen Kun, Shu Qi, and Yang Ying all fit the characters and their performances are quite satisfactory."

"I watched the premiere twice, for no other reason than that as a fan of the original work, this is the authentic version of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp"."

"The current level of Chinese commercial films and industrial productions is top-notch, with smooth narratives and stunning special effects. However, the villains are a bit weak, and the ending is the same old 'hallucination'. When can we stop seeing hallucinations?"

"That's it, when can we see real ghosts?"

"Look forward to Hugelive. Commander Yao is filming "Asian Weird Tales", and one of the stories in it is a mainland story."

"Oh my God, do we even have to look forward to Commander Yao for ghost stories?"

The reputation is very good and there are a lot of praises. The Original Time and Space also released a movie called "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" in September this year.

"Nine-Storey Demon Tower" directed by Lu Chuan and starring Zhao Youting, Yao Chen, Li Chen, Tang Yan, etc. was also adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and was criticized as shit.

…………

Guo Fan’s studio welcomed several guests.

Wu Jingqi led Ning Hao and Han Yan, carrying wine and food, and made a surprise attack in the middle of the night without saying hello in advance. Gong Geer was also there, the food and wine were placed, and it immediately became lively.

Ning Hao took a thick stack of conceptual design drawings, hundreds of them, and only drew one thing: the internal and external structure of the transport vehicle.

There are three pairs of large tires and seven pairs of small tires. Some look like armored vehicles and some look like mine carts. The steering wheels have virtual touch and joysticks... Every detail is meticulously crafted.

"How's the progress?" Ning Hao asked.

"It's not that great. Just design. The more you design, the more you design. Now there are a thousand props, large and small, in total." Guo Fan said.

"You're not afraid of 10,000 items. Boss Yao personally takes care of everything. Who has such treatment as you?" Wu Jing said.

"Then you are coming?"

Guo Fan rolled his eyes at him, and Wu Jing immediately waved his hand: "I'll forget it. I'm from the Physical Education College. I'm not close to science fiction. I'm fine as an actor."

Wu Jing knocked on the table again and said: "Today's gathering is mainly for the success of Wu Ershan's movie. While he is away, we brothers will have a drink to celebrate him.

Speaking of which, the five of us returned from Hollywood and our works have already been released.

Compared to me, Guo Zi, and Lao Han, the box office has not exceeded 1 billion, but if we keep up our efforts, I have agreed to star in "The Wandering Earth" and I am also preparing for my new film "Wolf Warrior 2".

Old Han, do you have any plans? "

"I don't have any ideas at the moment. The new film will have to wait," Han Yan said.

"I was even more depressed. I wanted to make a special effects film, but my boss refused to let me do it. He insisted on letting me make a drama with ups and downs. How can the script be so easy to write? But my boss gave me a material, and I thought it was great! "

"What material?"

"There is a man named Lu Yong, he has chronic myelogenous leukemia..."

Ning Hao talked about it for a while, and everyone was envious. Even fools knew that this was a blockbuster movie. With Ning Hao's level, it would definitely be another box office hit.
