The Director of Music Department

Text 990. The Minority is the Minority

Zhou Zhan looked a little excited!

"The Donkey Gets Water" is indeed a story that Zhou Zhan himself likes very much.

But Zhou Zhan is still quite rational. He can be called the director who has the best balance between business and art. It is not a lie.

Rather, Zhou Zhan, who has experienced many failures and transformations, deeply knows that the balance between art and commerce cannot really be combined very well.

Because art has always been a minority, and business must be a majority!

Therefore, the balance between the two cannot really be perfectly achieved!

"The Donkey Gets Water" is indeed a rare and good story, but this story is really very small. Is it possible for a small film to win the box office of the public?

Obviously impossible!

Wang Yifan was also a little surprised and asked: "Isn't it? Didn't you tell them that "Donkey Gets Water" is a relatively small film?"

Zhou Zhan shook his head and said, "Why didn't you say anything? But those people have been dazed by the box office of the previous movies, and they think that as long as it is the script provided by your director Wang Yifan, it will be absolutely fine."

Wang Yifan was also a little dumbfounded.

In fact, this kind of thing is really rare!

After all, it can be said that each of the few movies at the Hongmen Banquet was an unexpected success.

How can this prevent them from having the same high hopes for "Donkey Gets Water"?

But no matter how good a movie like "Donkey Gets Water" is, the upper limit of the box office is not too high.

In his previous life, Wang Yifan remembered that this movie had a very good reputation and received rave reviews. However, this movie is completely different from movies like "The Heartbroken".

"The Heartbreaker" focuses on dreams and family affection, which can be said to be very popular emotions, so "The Heartbreaker" can have such a high box office.

And so many people are seated according to the number, which can explain a lot of problems in itself.

But "Donkey Gets Water" is different. Although it can also be classified as a comedy, in fact, this is a very niche work.

This kind of movie has a very limited audience. Even if it looks good and has a good reputation, audiences who don't like to watch this type of movie still don't like to watch it.

This is obviously difficult to change.

"How much is the announcement budget?" Wang Yifan couldn't help asking.

In fact, Huaxin also invested in this movie, but Wang Yifan seldom cares about such things.

Most of the time, he mainly wants to show his face to support the show. Of course, he can't take care of so much about the specific operation.

So, he really doesn't know.

"The initial budget is 80 million!" Zhou Zhan said.

Wang Yifan was taken aback for a moment, this number is really high!

You know, Zhou Zhan is talking about the upfront budget, but you have to know that a movie like "Donkey Gets Water" has a box office of two to three hundred million, and it is impossible to reach the level of one billion to two billion like "The Sad Man".

And if the 80 million is invested, plus the cost of the film itself, the loss will not be too much, but it will definitely not make money.

In the previous life, "The Donkey Gets Water" was performed by a group of unknown actors. In this life, "The Donkey Gets Water" is considered to be a much higher starting point than the previous life.

But the movie genre itself limits the movie's box office ceiling.

Even in this movie, the actors and director are much taller than those in the previous life, but that's all.

Maybe the box office can be tens of millions more, but it is almost impossible to explode!

However, it stands to reason that the higher the movie announcement, the happier Zhou Zhan should be. After all, he is the director of the movie, but in fact it is really not the case.

Because the film's publicity is high, it shows that it is optimistic about the box office of this film, but if it fails to meet expectations, it will still damage Zhou Zhan's reputation a lot.

As for Zhou Zhan, this was not a box office movie in the first place, but it turned out to be a bad one, so how could it be good?

Are some movies, like The Shawshank Redemption, good movies?

Of course it is!

"Shawshank's Redemption" can be said to be recognized as a permanent classic film in film history. It has always occupied the first place in the list of rated films at home and abroad, and has been talked about by tens of thousands of fans so far. On the other hand, "The Shawshank Redemption" was a disastrous box office failure when it was released that year, and after many years of re-screening in North America, it is still dismal at the box office. Why is this?

This movie hit the street. Of course, it is a bit serious to say that it hit the street, but in fact, it is really different from the expectation!

The failure of this film has various reasons, and it has also become the object of research by many people.

Some people say that the reason why "The Shawshank Redemption" hit the market is because this movie is not suitable for the big screen.

There is a certain truth in the truth. "The Shawshank Redemption" failed at the box office and performed poorly, but it can be said to perform very well on video tape.

So some people say that this movie is not suitable for the big screen, but the movie is definitely a good movie!

But in fact, the same people think that the failure of this movie is ultimately because it is not a commercial movie!

In other words, this is a relatively niche movie!

Why do you say that? Because movies like "The Shawshank Redemption" are really not good for young people, because this movie was not made for young people.

The content of this movie is very simple. Most of the plots are deduced from the denial of self-worth, and the ending is sublimated into the affirmation of self-worth. The ending is handled very well, and the excitement when breaking free is vividly displayed. In comparison, the self-denial in the previous paragraph is not strong enough, even boring. Movies are not life after all, if any plot feels tasteless, it is a failure!

It is unreasonable to have too much box office expectation for this movie!

The same is true for "Donkey Gets Water". Young people may not really like this movie, because it is a satirical comedy, and ironic movies, most of the time, need brains! Many people say that this movie has depth, but the problem is that movies with real depth are often not for the public!

Of course, the reason why "Donkey Gets Water" was overly expected was because Wang Yifan's performance was so good.

That's why he approached Wang Yifan!

"What do you want me to do?" Wang Yifan asked.

"To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell. They made such a stupid decision because they have too much confidence in you. Moreover, this time Huaxin is also a joint publisher, so, Director Wang, give me a call." Say hello!" Zhou Zhan said with a wry smile.

Wang Yifan nodded!

This matter, others say it may not really work, don't you see, they don't take the director Zhou Zhan's words seriously.

"Alright! Let's go!" For this kind of thing, it is of course best for Wang Yifan to come forward, but he can't just make a phone call and say that he wants to cut the publicity budget.

So, of course, I still have to go!
