The diva and I cross each other
Chapter 597: The No. 1 Movie in Chinese Film History
"There's nothing wrong with being careful! It's only right that we be cautious with our first child." Luo Ming said.
Lin Shuwen sighed when she heard this. She heard from Chen Sichu yesterday that Luo Ming's secretary Li Yan had found a private hospital in Shanghai that specializes in childbirth and had reserved a bed there at a cost of several hundred thousand yuan.
It is said that this hospital arranges all the procedures for you clearly, from pregnancy preparation to prenatal check-ups to the birth of the child.
The hospital's environment, food and management are all excellent. Patients stay in single rooms and the supporting facilities are very complete.
Lin Shuwen had heard of this type of hospital before. When she was studying in Shanghai, she heard that there was a cancer care hospital in Shanghai, which was not much different from the delivery hospital that Luo Ming had arranged for her.
This type of hospital only focuses on one aspect of business and strives to be the best.
Of course, the fees will not be low. If you take the full package, the minimum cost for having a child is 25 yuan, and the highest cost is close to one million yuan.
Moreover, it is the kind that is in short supply. It is said that the highest-end one, which costs 98, may not be available even if you queue up.
Li Yan finally made the decision after consulting a leader in Shanghai.
Lin Shuwen feels that beds like Luo Mingding's are a sheer waste of money. As I said before, with the development of modern medicine to this extent, the mortality rate of pregnant women giving birth in China is only 10 out of 18, and 73% of these pregnant women have problems due to various major diseases.
After 2014, it is almost impossible for one corpse to have two lives.
However, seeing Luo Ming's stubborn attitude, Lin Shuwen didn't bother to talk to him anymore and just accepted the result.
The next day, Luo Ming came to the company alone, while Lin Shuwen was sent to the hospital for a comprehensive prenatal check-up with bodyguards arranged by Luo Ming.
In order to be the first to know about Lin Shuwen's situation, Luo Ming also sent his secretary Li Yan.
After Luo Ming came to the company, he began to deal with the work that had accumulated over the past half month.
Fortunately, Rong Mu was there, and there were not many things in the company that required him to check. By around 3 p.m., all the things that needed to be handled were done.
Luo Ming stretched and asked about Lin Shuwen's condition. After confirming that there was no problem, he called Chen Junmiao over on Kuaishu.
"Mr. Luo, are you looking for me?" Chen Junmiao asked respectfully after arriving at Luo Ming's office.
"Miaomiao, how much is the box office of "The Wandering Earth"? " Luo Ming asked.
"Boss Luo, as of yesterday, February 2th, the cumulative box office of The Wandering Earth has reached 15 billion yuan, and it is now increasing by nearly 40 million yuan every day. It is expected that within normal offline time, the box office should be 1 billion yuan."
Luo Ming was a little surprised when he heard this: "The box office increased so quickly? I said that I would have to extend the secret key for a month before it could break through 50 billion!"
"Boss Luo, you haven't been surfing the Internet in the past half month, right?"
Luo Ming shook his head.
"Look at this!" After saying that, Chen Junmiao took out his mobile phone and opened a Weibo post.
"Shi Xin? Who is that?"
"Ah? Mr. Luo, don't you know Mr. Shi?"
"Um, is he famous?"
“He is the former president of the China Film Association and the first person in the country to win the Golden Lion Award for Best Director.”
"A senior in the entertainment industry?"
"Yes, a figure of the highest caliber."
Luo Ming didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, and lowered his head to read this Weibo post: "Today I went to see The Wandering Earth with my granddaughter. I recommend everyone to watch this movie.
The film industry needs Hollywood-style science fiction films, but it also needs Chinese-style science fiction films like "The Wandering Earth".
"The Wandering Earth" is a standard Chinese science fiction, a true portrayal of our nation facing hardships, and a standard anti-Hollywood film.
There are actually countless stories hidden in this movie, but we are watching the movie from the perspective of the protagonists. The camera follows the protagonists, so what we see is their stories.
Just like in the movie, after the earthquake, the protagonist group went to Hangzhou for rescue, but there were more rescue teams going to other underground cities for rescue. Later, there were other teams involved in transporting flint and even igniting the planetary engine.
In Hollywood movies, the culture and elements of other countries are likely to be just embellishments. This is a form of cultural output, and a very powerful output model.
China has always been a very inclusive country and respects cultural diversity. In "The Wandering Earth", each country speaks its own native language and relies on simultaneous interpretation, which I think is great.
Most of the traditional Hollywood disaster films, or commercial science fiction films, that we have seen before, have saviors, superheroes, and plots like gods descending to earth.
But what moved me most about "The Wandering Earth" was this anti-individualistic heroism.
After watching this movie, I also roughly understood why Zhuoguang Entertainment insisted on making a science fiction film and invested so much money.
Because there is already Hollywood in the world and a very mature film industry system. In this case, the science fiction films produced by Zhuoguang Entertainment can only make people feel bright and have the opportunity to promote our own culture and values if they break the Hollywood system.
We should not always passively accept others’ opinions. We should also strive for many public opinion positions! Zhuoguang Entertainment is doing just that.
Human history is not driven by individual heroes, but by the people. The heroic view of history is incorrect!
What moved me the most was the work that the hero devoted himself to at the end of the movie. His father sacrificed his life to save the earth. Liu Qi was also an indispensable figure in saving the earth. He could have become a hero and enjoyed everyone's admiration.
But Liu Qi became a junior pilot in the end. The only special thing was that he was wearing a medal.
Instead of becoming a hero to all mankind, he became a novice pilot.
This is also what the creative team tells us through the protagonist: the reason why the earth was saved was due to many, many people, and Liu Qi was just one of them.
There is no god! There is no God! There is no superhero! Only humans saving humans!
For this reason, although this movie is a science fiction film, in my opinion, many parts of it highlight two words - real!
Just for this authenticity and this people-centered spiritual core, it is worth our support to buy a movie ticket. "No one expected that Shi Xin would give "The Wandering Earth" such a high evaluation.
Shi Xin's Weibo post completely ignited the box office of "The Wandering Earth". From the day this Weibo post was sent out, which was the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" began to rise in reverse, and the box office data increased at a rate beyond imagination.
The all-round success of "The Wandering Earth" has attracted more media of various special natures to give thumbs up and promote "The Wandering Earth".
With such vigorous publicity, the data of "The Wandering Earth" has been rising steadily, and its status in the history of Chinese cinema has become increasingly higher. Now it is no longer just a milestone science fiction film.
Its significance has gone beyond the film itself and will play a positive role in the future development of the entire industry.
As some official media said: "The Wandering Earth" opened the door to Chinese science fiction films and brought Chinese films to new heights.
Of course, no matter how good the data of "The Wandering Earth" is, it cannot save China's science fiction movies on its own. The key lies in whether subsequent peers can live up to their expectations.
In fact, the huge success of "The Wandering Earth" has indeed prompted many entertainment companies to explore the field of science fiction.
Huayue Entertainment was the first to announce that it would invest in a science fiction film, and other companies followed suit.
The most eye-catching of these is Hanhai Entertainment’s science fiction film “The Fortress of the Demon City”.
Shenzhen, the headquarters of Hanhai Entertainment.
Zhang Yin, president of Hanhai Entertainment, was very proud when he saw the comments on Weibo.
As one of the top ten entertainment companies in China, Hanhai Entertainment is particularly good at shooting sweet dramas, and it also has several top young actors under its command.
To be precise, what Hanhai Entertainment does is to train and incubate top idols. Apart from the popular stars who have returned from South Korea, those who have followed the same path and become popular in China are basically from Hanhai Entertainment.
Huayue Entertainment actually wanted to take this path before, but because of the xh order at that time, Tong Qifeng directly used his veto power to reject it.
However, Hanhai Entertainment did not put on the brakes and completely transformed itself into a company that incubates young talents.
Hanhai Entertainment did make money by doing this, but the price was that in the past three years, no star received an invitation to an official program.
Zhang Yin also realized that this would not work. Without the official favor, no matter how big Hanhai Entertainment became, it would just be a rootless duckweed. So over the past year, Hanhai Entertainment has been responding to the call from above.
Zhang Yin feels that this science fiction film is a good opportunity. As long as Hanhai Entertainment can seize this opportunity, it may be able to regain recognition from above.
Initially, the publicity plan set by Hanhai Entertainment had no intention of moving towards science fiction at all, and was purely based on the theme of love.
However, Zhang Yin has changed his mind now. On the one hand, he wanted to please his superiors, and on the other hand, Zhang Yin did not expect that Chinese people now love watching science fiction blockbusters so much!
Since the audience likes it, Zhang Yin must be satisfied. It's time to carve out a path for himself in the science fiction romance film industry.
So after "The Wandering Earth" became a hit, Zhang Yin called a meeting with the company's top executives. The only topic of the meeting was to find a way to link "Magic City Love" with science fiction.
After some discussion among the top management of Hanhai Entertainment, they reshot some scenes for "Love in the Magic City", changed the background, and changed the name of the movie to "The Fortress of the Magic City".
After watching the new film, Zhang Yin compared "The Wandering Earth" and "The Fortress" and analyzed the differences between the two films.
From the perspective of special effects, The Wandering Earth is really awesome! This is something that The Fortress of Devil City cannot even catch up with.
However, Zhang Yin thinks that the reason why the special effects of "The Wandering Earth" are so awesome is that the technical department of Zhuoguang Technology is too awesome. It is normal that they cannot catch up. Besides, the special effects of their "Magic City Fortress" are not bad either, and it is definitely up to the standards of theaters.
From the perspective of actors, "The Wandering Earth" has both traffic and acting skills, but our "Fortress of Devil City" has both traffic and acting skills! With such sufficient traffic, "The Wandering Earth" may not be as good as them in terms of box office appeal!
From the perspective of plot and character emotions, the two films each have their own advantages.
The family affection in "The Wandering Earth" is well portrayed, but our "Magic City Fortress" has love!
Zhang Yin is still very confident about Hanhai Entertainment's ability to shoot love scenes. This wave can at least be considered a draw, right?
As for the various profound spirits in the movie "The Wandering Earth", it has a lofty structure, which "The Fortress" does not have. But it doesn't matter. "The Fortress" has love for national justice, love for structure, and love for everything.
Young handsome guy + dating = the secret to wealth!
Zhang Yin believes in Hanhai Entertainment’s experience in filming movies over the past two years.
He felt that since the higher-ups were promoting Chinese science fiction films, it would be enough to give "The Fortress of the Demon City" a layer of science fiction skin!
When the box office is high, "The Fortress of Devil City" will be a science fiction film.
In Zhang Yin's opinion, science fiction has no future, but love is eternal and will always have a market.
There are so many romance films on the market that are all the same, why are Hanhai Entertainment’s sweet little dramas so popular?
It's because they are brave enough to innovate. As long as the story is acceptable, they can make money by shooting a movie and changing the background of the story.
Hanhai Entertainment also planned to make the so-called sci-fi movie "Fortress of Magic City" in the same way. As long as it changes from the real world to a sci-fi color, it will give people a bright and eye-catching love story!
What a luxurious love! In other people's movies, kissing is just accompanied by fireworks or something, but ours is kissing with grand special effects and under alien fire. Won't the fans of this young man have to pay money?
Even Zhang Yin was mentally prepared to eat too much.
In Zhang Yin's opinion, in today's market environment, domestic romance films are king, and the science fiction film "The Fortress", which incorporates love elements, will definitely have a good box office.
This movie will definitely allow Hanhai Entertainment, which was "abandoned" by its superiors, to return to the superiors' attention, and may even be highly praised by them.
Zhang Yin has already begun to imagine the scene when the artists from Hanhai Entertainment receive the invitation to this year's Spring Festival Gala.
"Mr. Zhang, our publicity funds are not enough. Do you think we should continue to increase the publicity funds?" Zhang Yin's secretary asked cautiously.
"Add! Give me another 3000 million for publicity! Our "Magic City Fortress" will definitely be a hit with the popularity of "The Wandering Earth". By then, we can make back any investment we make!
Let’s teach those domestic entertainment companies a lesson, let them see what the strong rise of science fiction romance movies means, and give everyone a textbook version of a love story in the end times! ”
Zhang Yin's confident look infected the secretary. After nodding her head, she went to the finance department and asked them to transfer money to the company's publicity department as soon as possible.
Just like that, when The Wandering Earth won the box office championship in Chinese film history, The Fortress of Devil City announced that it would be released on May 5.1, claiming to continue the legend of Chinese science fiction films. (End of this chapter)
