The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 131 "Famous" film history? (Two in one)

Many times, rumors are not groundless.

After seeing the film reviews of Old Man Charlotte, Wang Wei called Lao Wang and asked: "How much did you pay for this old man? Is it so hard for him to brag?"

Because the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" exploded beyond expectations, Lao Wang, who returned to the company in advance, said quietly on the phone: "I said there was no penny, how dare you believe it?"

"It's probably a rare time to be the 'protagonist' of the movie. This old man is so excited that he hopes to give this movie more box office."

Wang Wei: “…”

At that time, he thought that Lao Wang could be more nonsense than him, but the subsequent development forced him to doubt that this was the truth-

"I'm not praising Wang Wei. Whether as a director or screenwriter, he still has all kinds of shortcomings."

Charlotte said this in the film review, and then turned his pen.

"Whether it is a film master or screenwriter in the industry, there are many things that are beyond Wang Wei. However, on the other hand, Wang Wei also has a ability, which I think is the strongest among the directors and screenwriters I have ever met.

——”

“That’s his on-demand custom storytelling ability!”

Due to various reasons, there are no blockbusters in this Spring Festival to compete with "Charlotte's Troubles", and the homogeneous opponents are vulnerable; this has led to the theaters pushing its filming schedule to nearly 60% - this is

A screening rate that is almost impossible in popular schedules. Isn’t this lucky?

Well, this kind of "luck theory" has a very confusing self-confidence of "I can do it if I go to it."

Strong storytelling ability!

Old man Xia seemed to have opened a window for them.

Well, even Wang Wei cannot deny this point - the nostalgic music of this time and space is the biggest change compared to the original work, and in the final analysis, it is indeed for "taking tricks".

In a word - this is a movie that only scumbags who are as selfish as the protagonist and complain about reality will like!

At the beginning, it was just a sensationalist of some media. Later, it may be because of the topic, or because it simply cannot be proud of Dunhuang, and even mainstream media have joined the critical team.

As more and more viewers have watched it, the reputation and evaluation of "Charlotte's Troubles" online and offline has also increased.

——If this is not called flattery, then how can you call flattery?

Therefore, many people sneer at this.

As a result, the influence and popularity of this film quickly showed a geometric multiple growth momentum!

In the next two days, it continued to make rapid progress with a hot momentum, winning 91 million and 117 million yuan in a single-day box office respectively, leading the box office rankings.

Therefore, many directors or producers have come up with the idea of ​​asking for a script from Wang Wei.

If most media gave this movie face to boost the market before, public opinion was mainly praised;

Now, its popularity has also led to the recovery of the Spring Festival market, and public opinion has become divided.

"Its success is almost only based on the ultimate of a single point - it can guarantee that you can laugh, and it can laugh from beginning to end."

"And all this may have started with this "Charlotte". Although it is a coincidence, I am certainly happy to see that the new era of Chinese-language films is named "Charlotte"."

"Okay, I don't deserve to be a filmmaker because I'm too useless. And I think most people in the circle are not worthy. Perhaps only those critical people are worthy. Really, let them go if they can. I'm looking forward to it.

See their high-end works…”

How could Charlotte not guess what the host is thinking?

If he had no surprise at all about the box office explosion at "Charlotte", he must have been a fool.

After a burst of squirting out, the old man continued to the topic: "As for me to maintain "Charlotte", I have collected money. I can only say that I am not as good as some people, and my horizons are not as big as well."

"So his movies always make money, and make a lot of money."

Single-day box office record, single-day moviegoers record, first-week box office record... I don't know how many records have been refreshed by it, the key is that it cannot be counted yet - with the current momentum of this movie, every day may be

Setting a record!

The main creators who are running for publicity are so excited that they can't help but say more, the national media has completely exploded!

Then, he sighed with emotion: "Sometimes, when I see these criticisms, I realize that we filmmakers are the saviors-a movie, even if it is a comedy movie, we have to tell stories, have laughter, and we have to do so.

It has connotation, establishes a high-level view, and then reshapes social morality, promotes equality between men and women, and calls for world peace..."

"Why is it so sure? It's a very simple truth. When watching a comedy, you only see malice from it, just like the eyes are full of shit. He sees the whole world as the same. You have to say that they are full of righteousness, haha..."

Some media also attribute it to "opportunity" -

He didn't know Dunhuang's online marketing strategy, but he noticed the pop-up push of Penguin Communications - as a fashionable old man, he kept up with the pace of the times - and the application of Penguin Group in word-of-mouth communication.

Old Man Xia said, squinting his eyes, looking leisurely and fascinated, not knowing what beautiful scene he had thought of.

"Charlotte's Troubles" has a bad view? Hell! Are they watching the same movie as me?

After a pause, he said, "So, isn't everything they are dissatisfied with and criticized in the movie?

The host joked at the right time: "Anyway, when I was watching the movie, I didn't think so much at all, and I didn't want to think about these things, because I felt from the bottom of my heart that I spent more than an hour watching a comedy in the cinema.

The movie is just for fun.”

"Yes, Charlotte did it again, relying on plagiarizing the songs of later generations, reaching the peak of his life, and holding the goddess back. But, isn't it clear that he is very, very, very weak?"

Charlotte nodded and first praised: "As a movie that tries its best to make the audience laugh, just watch it in this way of watching the fun."

To be honest, the ability to "tell stories" sounds like a very basic to the director, but not all directors can tell stories.

"So, the field of art films that like to play in depth and play in art is not the case. In the field of commercial films that match 'on-demand', if you want to make money from Wang Wei, you must have the ability to tell stories that match him."

Some media attribute it to "good luck" -

Many media outlets that have previously promoted this movie have said that the film was actually very ordinary, why did it achieve such a huge success?

"What if I substitute it?" Old Man Xia not only did not retreat, but became even more excited: "In fact, if those who say that their values ​​are not right, if they travel through time, I am sure they are worse than Charlotte in the movie."

What expresses that "goddesses are bitches" is that they ugliness women and have bad views;

The host is interested: "What do you say?"

what does that mean?

This means that as long as the promotion is properly promoted, the promotion period of a movie will be greatly shortened, resulting in a short-term surge in box office.

This idea became increasingly intense as the box office of "Charlotte Troubles" exploded day by day--

"I'm not going to brag about how deep the film has, how great it is... Well, if you want to say the word great, this movie really can't afford it."

The first domestic film with a single-day box office of more than 100 million yuan was born like this?

Although some people expect that after the movie ticket price increases, breaking through this ceiling is no longer a distant goal. But... will the box office of 1 billion become the norm?

It's hard to imagine.

However, there are also many industry insiders who are confused by the fact that Wang Wei has always had a 100% success rate. After the highlights of this film review, they realized, or thought they realized the secret of Wang Wei's success.

"Catch the biggest demand and selling point of "laughing" and tell a very vulgar story in a complete and joyful way. It seems that the requirement is not high, but everyone has also seen other comedies in this Spring Festival period. You are not polite.

To put it, there is no one who can fight."

The success of the 1 billion box office will attract more investment like a chain reaction and bring prosperity to the film market...

What ending is that a scumbag is supported by a woman, and her three views are not correct...

Lao Wang, who had been so excited by the explosion that he wanted to stare at the box office list for 24 hours, noticed this trend and suddenly became as furious as a cat with a tail stepped on.

In "Charlotte's Troubles", many scenes and music have a nostalgic effect, the familiar desk, the slightly perverted teacher, the tension of the college entrance examination, the ignorant love, the cruel reality, and the seventies and eighty or eighty.

The golden songs with all ears worn out in the era have resonated with many middle-aged people.

In reality, Charlotte dissected the "Charlotte" in the movie very casually, spread his hands and said, "What did he get in the end? Could it be that his career was going well and he lived happily with the goddess? No, no

Yes, is it true that the movies that anyone has seen are like this?"

"...The box office record is getting faster and faster, the film market is no longer monopolized by blockbusters, and there are more and more opportunities for new directors to emerge. We will enter an era of blooming flowers!"

"Tell stories just by telling stories. What is custom-made storytelling on demand?"

While yelling, "There are many troubles in the world", he was preparing to pull out Wang Wei, who should fight and squirt when he should fight!

He even experienced it personally. After watching the movie, his grandson recommended the movie on the family group before leaving the cinema, and then the family group responded... This rate of reputation spread far exceeds all traditional media!

However, because of an accident, he noticed some unusual signs—

Charlotte said seriously: "I am watching Charlotte now because I see that it has changed the domestic film market to a considerable extent."

...

"You may not be able to do what he can do!"

"If you can't do this, then I advise all directors or producers not to easily follow the themes of the movies directed or written by Wang Wei--"

The Wang family, the two families gathered in the living room to chat, and Ms. Wang freezes the TV screen at this moment.

The protagonist travels through time all depends on plagiarism and has a bad view of his three views;

"But the extreme of a single point will not affect the completeness and balance of the whole story; that is, if you have a good story, his movies have more distinct highlights; and you also play with a certain selling point,

His movies have the best story.”

The host couldn't help but smile and said, "You are so protective of "Charlotte". Some people say you are the Charlotte who is substituted for the movie, and some people say you are collecting money from the film company. What do you think?"

Although there are no such words as "diaosi", "green tea bitch", "straight male cancer", "Holy Mother's disease" at present, the meaning is expressed.

He didn't know if he was too optimistic, but he hoped that, so he said so.

"I think that since "Charlotte", 1 billion box office will become the norm in the domestic film market!"

When many people see this, when they return to the first sentence, a huge "?" appears on their heads.

"Looking at the movies directed or written by Wang Wei, there is one thing in common - they have achieved the ultimate goal of a single point customized on demand, so that they almost occupied an indelible mind after watching it.

Location."

117 million!!!

Although looking at the momentum in the previous two days, many people have had psychological expectations that their single-day box office exceeded 100 million, but at this moment, everyone was still shocked.

Then, he found...

If the above controversy is a bit sour and not too aggressive, some media simply want to tear this "bad movie" that is "unrecognizable"!

There are not many surprises, "incorrect views" have become the focus of these media criticizing this movie.

The host's eyes widened slightly.

Before this, although the box office of 780 million yuan for a single film was rare, it was not without it; but the 1 billion yuan per film was basically the box office ceiling of the domestic film market.

The larger market after the price increase can already accommodate 1 billion-level films per piece.

Even many famous directors, after leaving the screenwriter, cannot even tell a complete story well, let alone tell a good story like Wang Wei. While telling a good story, they can also highlight the selling point "on demand".

"Simply put, the Spring Festival is a business that is customized on demand. "Charlotte's Troubles" is the most popular product in this business. Wang Wei's ability to customize storytelling on demand is fully revealed in this movie.

”

Most people attribute the reasons for the box office explosion to the quality of the film, the high screening rate, and the appropriate schedule... These are of course extremely critical, but the reasons are not limited to this.

At this time, the whole show almost turned into a sarcastic chat show of this old man.

The old man Charlotte, as if offended by such remarks, appeared on a film review program on CTV, and was fully fired and stole all the limelight.

She first looked at her son, but saw that Wang Wei looked like she didn't know what she was thinking, so she turned her head and looked at the person in the circle on the other side.

"Xiaozhen, do you think this interesting old man can take his film history as he wishes?"

Chen Zhenyi glanced at Wang Wei who was still trance and smiled slightly: "He has worked so hard, I think he will get what he wants!"
