Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chen Mubai saw that the atmosphere had improved a little, he continued.

"I know that you think this movie is too heavy. As a commercial movie, it obviously doesn't have the core of [Shuang]. Everyone who comes to the theater hopes to relax, watch a comedy or special effects movie, and have fun."

"The core of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is tragedy, and even the second half of the movie is very heavy and will make people cry, but this does not mean that the audience cannot accept this type of movie."

"Some people will definitely use literary movies as examples, which also tell about the misery of real life. The box office of movies is generally not high, and it is also a tear-jerking work. Although the word of mouth is good, the box office is not high. This movie will be the same. You think so, right? ?”

After Chen Mubai finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

Although many people did not speak, they nodded silently, obviously agreeing with Chen Mubai's statement.

They really felt that although Chen Mubai advertised "I'm Not the God of Medicine" as a commercial film, many things in it were not explored in depth, but its essence is to describe a group and the life behind it, and it is not a purely commercial film.

Purely commercial movies, like "Operation Red Sea", although there are dead people, but the essence is passionate, and the audience enjoys watching it.

The dead characters aggravated everyone's anger towards the villains, and finally it was more refreshing to see the protagonists eliminate the villains, which was a bigger joy.

It can be said that the dead characters are used as a foreshadowing for a more exciting plot, and everyone can remember these bloody and tearful characters. It is a standard commercial movie and the most feared success.

The box office of a movie is the most intuitive data, and everyone pays for this kind of work.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Operation Red Sea" are just too different, far from being as cool.

Even the background of Cheng Yong's opening is pitiful. Middle-aged men are not as good as dogs. This scene is extremely well described.

Middle-aged divorced, penniless, unable to win custody of children, wife remarried, father hospitalized, no money for medical treatment.

Although this kind of situation seems a bit too "miserable", there are many similar people in real life.

This sense of substitution will not make people feel cool, but too real, which makes people feel aggrieved.

Therefore, no matter in terms of character design or plot, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is not a traditional commercial film, nor does it have the potential to be a big hit at the box office, but it is closer to a literary film.

only,

Literary and artistic films explore more in-depth content, and this film is a bit of a stop, and then it can be regarded as a redemption in the ending.

The people present were still biased that this movie would not be loved by the audience, and those who could come to support it should be fan-oriented groups, the quality is no problem, and the word-of-mouth should not be bad.

Quality is not the same as word of mouth.

The quality of a movie is the standard for judging by people in the industry, and word-of-mouth is actually the audience's true feelings after watching it. The quality of a movie is rubbish, and the word-of-mouth of a movie is not necessarily bad.

The type of the main movie also depends on whether it is the type that the audience likes.

Let audiences who don't like horror movies go to horror movies, even if the movies are good, he thinks they are rubbish movies.

Word of mouth is different from person to person, and everyone likes different things.

There is also a situation where fan-oriented works will be accused of criticism. Maybe a lot of effort has been spent on publicity, and word-of-mouth is not necessarily bad.

But quality is the only criterion for testing works. After a long time, the real quality and word-of-mouth will be exposed. After all, the judgment of real passers-by and audience is the truth. Everyone may be deceived by false propaganda and read it. If they are fooled, they will say Come out to avoid the pit.

After all, fans are a small group, most of them are a neutral group, and this part is the backbone of judging works.

"What you said is what I want to say." The old opera bone said.

"yes."

Qian Duoduo and others also echoed: "Although I don't know what you think, I believe that you must have your intentions in doing this."

"I don't think you made this movie for fun, otherwise, why would you give up the director of the second season of "Prison Break" to do this thing? The influence of that show is so popular that you can let it go. It means you have other plans."

"Makes sense."

"yes......"

Qian Duoduo's words made everyone feel hopeful. What he said was very reasonable.

How could it be possible for Chen Mubai to choose this movie instead of filming the popular film and television drama all over the world?

Although movies have a higher impact than TV dramas, there are not many TV dramas that can be popular all over the world!

"Prison Break" was too successful, many of them have chased after them, and continuing to make this drama must have a better future than making this movie.

Chen Mubai behaved like this, maybe he really had his intentions as Qian Duoduo said?

Tao Yaoyao knew the reason why Chen Mubai did this, but she didn't know if this movie would be popular, this movie was really different.

She looked forward to Shenghui, her beautiful eyes cast on Chen Mubai, wanting to see what he would say.

All eyes were on Chen Mubai alone, Tao Yaoyao felt that this was the most attractive moment, Chen Mubai was like a natural leader at the moment, with a strong leadership aura, people couldn't help but trust him.

Chen Mubai smiled: "Most people think like you, thinking that commercial movies must be cool."

"So I don't want to shoot this kind of abusive work, but in fact, this kind of cool film will be boring if you watch too much, and occasionally change the taste, sometimes it will make people's eyes shine."

"It's like you are used to eating big fish and big meat every day, and occasionally change to vegetarian dishes, and you will find it very delicious. Everyone's aesthetics are similar, and so is their appetite."

"I made this movie to change the taste of the audience. Maybe it will have a miraculous effect? ​​Besides, "Infernal Affairs" is not a tragedy, and the tone and core of the whole movie are not traditionally cool, but it was approved. It’s cool to have two roles swapped, and the main line is pointed out at the beginning, so that everyone has a sense of expectation.”

"This movie makes many people feel uncomfortable. Although it is a tragedy, the box office of the movie is not bad. In the final analysis, it is not that the audience does not like tragedies, but that they do not like forced tragedies or the kind of abuse for the sake of abuse. In the end, it is still a There’s a reason the story isn’t told well, and if the story told meets the audience’s expectations, they won’t resist.”

Chen Mubai's words are well-founded, so many people are convinced.

Think about it carefully, compared with the traditional perfect ending, many works have tragic endings, but these works will make people remember more deeply.

Sometimes regret is incomplete beauty, and this kind of ending with scars is impressive.

"How can you guarantee that the audience will accept it?"

Someone asked: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but it is undeniable that this movie is biased toward literary movies. Maybe everyone will give a high evaluation after watching it, but because it is too real, it will discourage the audience."

"After all, during the schedule, there are other people's movies. If the audience knows that this is a tragedy and chooses other commercial movies instead, what should we do?"

"Audiences watch movies with a strong purpose. They either watch science fiction, action movies, or support idols. Many people wait for movies of the same period to be evaluated before choosing to watch them. Once everyone sees this tragic ending, they may It’s very common to just give up on the movie.”

"Yes." Chen Mubai nodded to acknowledge the answer of the person who pointed out the question.

"So, I will start the on-demand screening mode next, so that the word-of-mouth of the movie will be fermented for a while, and the popularity of the movie will be higher, so that the audience will be screened, and those who are willing to enter the movie theater can accept this movie. movie people."

"Screen the audience?" Everyone was taken aback, unable to understand Chen Mubai's operation.

Isn't this narrowing your own path?

Everyone wished that the more audiences the better, why did Chen Mubai eliminate some audiences first?

Chen Mubai continued: "Most of the people who come here are the media, reporters, self-media people... and some audiences."

"Most of these audiences will be selected from netizens who pay attention to the movie. As long as the quality of the movie is excellent, I believe their evaluation is not only for the work itself, but also for the meaning behind it. The popularity is high, even if it is a tragedy, it will arouse the interest of many people."

"They will think about what kind of work can attract so many people's admiration, and out of curiosity, they will also come to watch it. They say it is to screen the audience, but to screen a part of the audience in advance, and then let these people Go spontaneously spread word of mouth for the movie!"

Everyone watched Chen Mubai narrate gracefully, as if they had great confidence in the movie.

The situation he said is true, but if you order screenings in advance, you must be very confident in the movie. Once the quality of the movie is not satisfactory, this kind of screening will only accelerate the decline of the film!

On-demand screening means that the movie is released in advance before the movie theater, and then many people will watch it in advance, either from the media or people who are interested in the movie, and they can watch the work in advance.

After watching it, they will also comment on the work. Once the work is highly rated, it will attract many netizens to watch the movie.

But if the quality of the movie is not good and the evaluation is not good, it will be a fatal blow to the movie. When the movie is released, not many people will go to the theater to support it.

After all, there are still a small number of people who are willing to watch movies with mostly negative reviews.

The premise of order screening is something that the film studio will only do if they have special confidence in the film, otherwise there will be no harm but no benefit.

Because it is possible to deceive some audiences on the day when the movie is released, no matter whether the movie is good or bad, they are the first batch of audiences, and they recognize it by holding their noses.

After the screening, there will be comments about the movie, and it will not be easy to deceive people at that time.

Everyone did not expect that Chen Mubai would choose to make a screening!

Is he that confident?

This movie has just finished filming, and even the post-editing has not been done, which means that Chen Mubai has not even seen the finished film, so Chen Mubai decides to screen it. Does this mean that he is too confident in this movie! ?

However, if the quality is really good, it is indeed achievable to act according to Chen Mubai's words.

First of all, the word-of-mouth and quality of screenings can explode. High-quality word-of-mouth and quality will indeed arouse strong curiosity among netizens. In addition, some media and self-media people's explanations about the movie are beneficial to the movie.

Their analysis of the film is very detailed, and they will go deep into the patient group. Having such a film to tell their experiences definitely meets the needs of the industry and is highly praised.

The popularity of literary and artistic movies is also based on this. Compared with ordinary audiences, professionals are more tolerant of movies and have better evaluations.

If this movie is really screened, it will also be Chen Mubai's first screened work!

If we say that everyone was relatively pessimistic about the prospects of the film at the beginning, but after Chen Mubai's talk, everyone had hope again.

As long as everything can go smoothly as Chen Mubai said, it is not impossible.

In the past, it was not that literary and tragic movies won high box office, but the difficulty was very high. Coupled with the strong invasion of capital, people became less and less willing to bet on such extremely low-probability events.
