The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 292 "For World Peace"

Well, when an industry insider like Lao Wang says that a movie is "not good to comment", he is actually saying, "I don't have much confidence anyway" or simply, "I feel a little bit inferior to it."

This... is really surprising, not too surprising.

The unexpected thing is that the creativity of "Tongkat" was after all, it was written by Wang Wei - and Wang Wei has been like a flash bomb in recent years, like a stock with a monster trend that is against the sky. As long as he is named, there are many

People have more confidence in the box office.

Then, Lao Wang chose to sing the movie badly, which is hard to be unsurprising.

But it's not incomprehensible.

This is indeed a very special animated movie.

As Lao Wang said—

"It has no story with beginning and end in the popular sense, no interlocking plot, and even its protagonist, the Big Totoro, has appeared in the movie for only four times, and its first appearance was in the movie.

Twenty minutes;”

"And this non-human protagonist has no lines, no background story, and even his personality is unpredictable... I advise you not to be too optimistic."

No, then what kind of mystery are you doing?

Actually, it's very simple.

Although this extremely polarized reputation is not rare, it is really not common.

——This can be said to be the least popular work produced by Dunhuang in recent years. Even Sky Cinema, a strategic partner, has a plain attitude.

——Are you admitting that "this is really a floppy work"?

This is still seen because the movie is called screenwriter Wang Wei. Generally speaking, for such films that representatives are not optimistic about collectively, the theater company will not waste the filming resources, even if it may only waste one

Adjusted back in two days.

The reputation of the internal screening of "The Totoro" is likely to indicate that it is not popular.

However, what Lao Wang did not expect was that the person who was the least likely to raise objections instead raised objections—

"Short the screening cycle? Are you trying to make box office revenue explode in the short term through large-scale publicity?"

Especially the box office!

The feedback from the internal preview held later also proved his opinion—

Its real destination should be-

Lao Wang was a little stunned when he heard this!

Generally speaking, the success or failure of a movie actually takes shape from the moment the final version was born.

Almost all representatives of theaters criticized the poor story of "The Totoro" and even felt that there was no complete story after watching it; the characters' personalities were not outstanding enough, and the protagonist appeared too few times...

How can you change the story if you think it’s too simple? Can you overturn it and start over?

——In fact, Wang Wei made the final decision after the internal preview meeting, and there is no need to change this version.

After all, the theaters are not Kaizi, and there are not enough benefits. Why should people show videos they are not good at, rather than those relatively good at it?

This is a powerful tool for commercial blockbusters to quickly harvest box office, but it often means that a lot of early publicity is needed and a lot of publicity costs are required!

"I know, of course, that I mean, lower the box office expectations of this movie, well, it's even lower than you expected."

Such works are naturally not suitable for most viewers who just want to go to the cinema to pursue visual wonders and pursuing vigorous sensory stimulation.

Of course, the evaluation of the internal preview is not absolute.

On the other hand, among the film critics who participated in the internal preview, this animation was well received!

"Although I don't know what the other four are doing, I heard some rumors. The other four have reached a more unified front, and it is possible that all the media channels under it will block us."

"There is no need to give concessions to theaters. We might as well shorten the screening cycle of "Tongnie" as much as possible."

Because its story is really gray and simple, and its real charm lies in tracing the emotions of childishness, like a sleeping dream that requires the audience to savor it carefully.

What’s even more painful is that some film companies can modify the finished film products after the preview to improve the quality of the film; but "Tong Kongo" cannot be modified even if they want to--

Lao Wang's expression became serious.

In short, theaters basically expressed their displeasure to promote this extremely dull animation.

Lao Wang asked in surprise.

——This also shows that the speed of Dunhuang’s progress may have caused the five strongest sense of crisis!

"I thought you were optimistic about this animation?"

However, the content can not be changed, and the issuance plan cannot be modified based on the feedback from the internal preview meeting.

The reviews received by the film at the internal preview were very average, and they were even sentenced to death by theaters and film critics, but what they came afterwards was a super big deal, and there was a situation like this.

“…”

In Wang Wei's opinion, this is such a work.

"After shortening the theater screening cycle, you can start TV broadcasting as soon as possible; well, in order to praise truth, goodness and beauty, to maintain the innocent world of children, and for world peace... Well, it is not impossible to consider giving it to the TV station for free."

Most critics expressed their love for this work that is both true and illusory, and some critics even described the image of Totoro as "purer and awesome than any other characters created by Wang Wei.

…”

However, the expectation is still the expectation, and the purpose of opening the paintings according to the original plan means that Dunhuang must give benefits to the theaters.

Whether it is the memory of the past life as a reference or Wang Wei's personal judgment, it proves that some good movies are indeed recognized classics, but they are just not suitable for watching in theaters.

In other words, if Dunhuang could have opened up certain holes in the five major blockades by offering "unrefutable" prices in the past; now, adding money may be useless.

Lao Wang can only expect the theater representatives to take a collective misunderstanding this time.

Wang Wei suggested this.

Wang Wei shrugged simply, "I am very optimistic about it. This is indeed a good animation!"

Yes, he didn't think the animated film was "bad and unsuccessful" - otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to invest in it at the beginning - he just wanted to say that the expectations for this film should not be too high.

The reputation of the internal preview probably implies the final quality of the film; many big and bad movies and floppy works will know that before they are released, people in the industry will know that their performance cannot be too good, and many data analysis institutions

This is also the first day's estimate.

It’s not that Dunhuang has no money, but—

Wang Wei slowly showed a great charity smile.

Lao Wang couldn't get it, and he was stunned to hear it!

What the hell are you talking about?

Also, don’t have box office, and you’ll give it to the TV station for free. What kind of tricks is this?
