At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 643 "Racing" over [-] million
"What kind of work do I go to Hong Kong to guide?"

Liao Gaoxiang blurted out.

Shen Xudong was also stunned for a while...

Liao Gaoxiang doesn't make movies, he used to be a screenwriter for TV dramas, and later tried the production of "Splendid Marriage"...

Now I have the adaptation and production work of "As You Like It" and "Gold and Jade Mantang", both of which are ancient costume house fighting dramas, and they tend to have a happy ending.

He has no reason to go to Hong Kong!

Shen Xudong suggested: "...you can study!"

"Study? What do you study?"

"Learn how to shoot tertiary films!"

"I haven't mentioned you yet," Liao Gaoxiang's tone suddenly became serious: "You can't make tertiary films!"

"…why?"

"Because it's not artistic enough!"

"... legal business, why can't I do it?"

Shen Xudong was about to make a long speech...

What about 'Don't steal or grab, art can't be biased', Zhao Linhai interjected: "You really can't have anything to do with tertiary movies... I don't care what art is or not, the audience thinks tertiary movies are vulgar... have nothing to do with tertiary movies His people are vulgar and shameless!"

Shen Xudong retorted: "You are biased... Tertiary films may have high or low artistic value, but they have no moral high or low... People in the entertainment industry suddenly lack the spirit of entertainment and become serious. Is this necessary?"

Shen Xudong's positioning of himself is very clear: entertainment celebrity!
They're all dirty, don't dislike anyone!

Liao Gaoxiang interrupted him directly: "It doesn't matter whether you are biased or not. In the eyes of the public, if you take off your clothes, it is tantamount to selling meat in exchange for money and status. It is regarded as morally corrupt, and you have an ethically inferior image of taking off the stars." …Similarly, making a tertiary film is vulgar and shameless!"

"Then Wang Jing..."

"What do you compare with him? He is a slave to money. What about you, are you a slave to yourself?"

"I…"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment...

This involves self-positioning and public perception!

For example, Wang Jing's positioning: a film businessman, what makes money, what to shoot as long as it is not illegal...

But the public impression: the king of bad movies, a guide to persuasion!

Li Lizhen and Shu Qi: Dedicated to art;

Public impression: good breasts...

Tang Wei: goddess of literature and art;
Public Impressions: Purple Grapes…

It's not that what you want to convey, the public will get it!

Well, you can think that tertiary movies are very artistic, you see: lying lazily on the snow-white quilt, shaking and shaking, it is the rhythm of life, the fireworks of artistic inheritance...

But everyone can also think that you are selling meat!
Just like Wang Jing, no one thinks he is a respectable person... anyone can scold him.

Shen Xudong's self-positioning is not everyone's dislike~
So, he nodded: "Forget it, then it's okay if I don't sign it in the future?"

"...Well, don't sign it..." Zhao Linhai suggested: "It's really not possible, we can follow the example of Alan-Smithee..."

Alan-Smithee, legendary Hollywood director!

He specializes in bad movies, movies, TV dramas, documentaries, MVs, commercials... It can be said that as long as he needs to be a director, he has made all kinds of projects, but basically they are all bad movies!

In fact, Alan-Smithee is not a real person, he is the official vest of the Motion Picture Association of America!

It was first created in 1968. As long as a director wants to draw a line with a certain project and want to preserve his reputation, he will use this vest.

From the early 80s to the mid-90s, it was the peak period for the use of this vest.

In 97, he even filmed a comedy "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn" (Double Dragon and One Tiger)...

The film shows various problems that often occur in filming, such as actors who bring money into the team, producers who intervene indiscriminately, unreliable shooting teams, and the most typical problem-that is, big-name stars intervene in too many shots , and his own level is not enough.Because the director's status is not enough, he can't suppress the big names, so he can only let them mess around.

In this case, the quality of the film can be imagined.

Some directors still have backbone, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so they used Alan Smith's vest...

"It's not necessary...Although I'm making a tertiary film, the quality won't be too low!"

"Who watches tertiary movies for the plot of the movie?"

Well, Shen Xudong really needs a vest. After thinking about it, he said, "...Uh, let's call it Xu Hui!"

"Xu Hui? What Xu Hui?"

"Vest..."

"it is good…"

……

The box office of "Voting Certificate" is not good.

Most of the reports are 7500 million in the first weekend, and there are also reports that the first weekend in Asia is close to [-] million.

Only the publishers, Poly Bona and Media Asia, publicly stated: "Voice of Names" had a domestic box office of 9800 million in the first weekend, surpassing the previous best record of 9600 million in the first weekend of "Golden Flowers in the City"...

In addition, I also specially emphasized; in addition to the good box office, audiences and theaters all over the world have given good reviews to "Certificate of Fame", breaking the curse of blockbusters in recent years that have been "received but not well-received"...

Well, it can blow!
Bragging marketing…

It's a very normal thing. The distributor artificially creates a movie-watching craze to attract more audiences into the theater.

Moreover, usually the box office is the first week, because the freshness and attention of the movie are the highest during this period. If the box office is booming, it will greatly enhance the subsequent market appeal.

Therefore, you can often see the bragging marketing drafts of ""XX" was released and the box office is booming".

Generally speaking...about 20%~30%, not too outrageous!

Later, Guangguang released "Astro Boy", with 1700 million in the first week, blowing it up to 4000 million.

This kind of thing belongs to the unspoken rules in the circle. Even if the colleagues know it, they will not say anything. Once it is made public, they will be criticized by the media. No matter how awesome the public relations are, it will not work.

You violated the perception of the audience!
Therefore, the "Certificate of Voting Names" is so bragging, and it doesn't have much impact...

Because not many people care...

Audiences may not really want to see blockbusters.

Whether the reputation is good or not, I don’t want to read it!
Li Lianlian + Andy Lau + Jin Chengwu, such a strong lineup can't attract enough audience?
Let's put it this way, the popularity of "Voting Certificate" at the box office in the first weekend is not even comparable to that of "Racing Car", which has been released for the third week!
The latter won 2700 million box office in the third week, with a cumulative box office of over [-] million.

The discussion on the Internet is much hotter than "Voting Certificate". On Tianya Forum, the number of posts about "Racing Car" obviously exceeds that of "Voting Certificate". few!
In addition, Feng Xiaogang also came out to speak - mainly to promote "Mobile Phone 2": "Due to scheduling reasons, the box office of "Mobile Phone 2" will not be as good as "Voting Certificate" in the first weekend, and now 80% of the theaters in each theater are in it." Put "Certificate of Fame", after my release, if there are 10 halls, I will occupy 6 halls and it will occupy 4 halls, but "The Evil Man" and "Blueberry Night" will be released immediately after me, and I will divide a few One or two halls, plus other films will occupy one or two halls.Therefore, the first week of "Mobile Phone 2" is definitely not as good as "Certificate of Voting".But it will get better and better in the future...'

Well, he specifically mentioned "Blueberry Nights", the Wong Kar Wai movie!

By the way, I also scolded, 'I heard that the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival was confirmed before the filming of "Blueberry Nights"...Your film was not finished, so it was the opening film?I don't think it's reliable! '

It doesn't matter whether he really doesn't like it or not, but...Feng Xiaogang fired, "Mobile Phone 2" will be screened, and "Racing Car" surpassed [-] million, these three news quickly occupied the top entertainment news...

"Certificate of Voting" is really miserable...
