Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 667 is on air
The night when "Battlefield" broke the 20 billion box office.

Many film and television companies in the industry discussed a problem together.

What is the future of the patriotic film market?

In fact, this is not the first time this topic has appeared in this circle.

Abroad, "patriotic films" have a long history.

"Saving Private Ryan" and "Top Gun" can all be classified as patriotic films.

In China, movies such as "Wolf Warrior" have also led to a large-scale discussion in the industry about the category of "patriotic movies".

Patriotic films are not a very precise category, but a general term for a type of film.

Includes factors such as war, country, security, etc.

From this perspective, "Wolf Warrior" is a patriotic film, and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is also a patriotic film.

"Raid on the White Tigers" and "Operation Mekong" are also patriotic films.

Previously, the box office data of patriotic films were roughly concentrated between 10 billion and 2 billion.

Although the box office is not low, there is still a certain distance compared with the top domestic commercial films.

In addition, the difficulty of shooting war movies, such as "Wolf Warrior", "Mekong River", and "Raid on White Tiger Regiment", is much higher than other types of movies.

Including shooting costs, requirements for actors, requirements for equipment, etc., they are several levels higher.

Strictly speaking, the price/performance ratio is average.

Therefore, the attitude of major companies towards patriotic films is that they are interested, but they will not increase their bets at all costs.

It was not until today, when the box office results of "Battlefield" were released, that everyone was surprised to find that the market for "patriotic films" has become so large.

Five hundred million.

one day.

Such impressive results prompted a boss to immediately start discussing many matters regarding investing in a "patriotic film".

Judging from the comments of audiences and netizens on "Battlefield" in recent days.

There are several reasons why "Battlefield" can achieve such impressive results.

Special effects, subject matter, quality, and feelings.

Although the quality of "Battlefield" is high, the audience's sentimental support for the movie box office cannot be underestimated.

Since there is sentiment, it means you can continue to consume.

In other words, the current performance of "Battlefield" is most likely not a flash in the pan. Even if it cannot reach the same level in the future, it can still be used as a reference.

After confirming the possibility of a remake of "Battlefield", the topic immediately turned to "how to develop it".

After a brief investigation, everyone discovered that there are already quite a few "patriotic film"-type film projects on the market.

"Operation Red Sea", "Wolf Warrior 2", "Changjin Lake", "Watergate Bridge"...

And all these movies are related to Shanhe Company.

"With so many, does Shanhe Company want to swallow up all the 'patriotic movies' at once?"

"One, two, three, four, five, six... There are four patriotic films that have been approved in Shanhe, not to mention some that have applied but have not yet achieved their desired results."

"They are the earliest pioneers of this category, so it's normal for them to eat a lot."

"If it was before, it would be fine if Sunward took more, but now that Battlefield has exploded at the box office, no matter how much Sunward can take, it can't take it all. Launching so many projects at once will only drag down their company. Their company can only make one or two films a year at most, no more."

"But Shanhe is indeed the company with the most experience in developing this type of film so far."

"Then cooperate, contact Zhou Mo, invest or support, and shoot together."

……

While the industry leaders were discussing how to cooperate with Shanhe Company to develop a "patriotic movie", Zhou Mo was watching the day's broadcast with the crew members. It was an honor for everyone in the crew that the movie could be on the broadcast.

So, during the day, Zhou Mo directly cleared out the people for the evening so as not to delay everyone's exciting moment.

At seven o'clock, the broadcast started on time.

Everyone sat in front of the TV, waiting for the crucial moment to arrive.

Zhou Mo knew the specific time in advance, but he did not plan to notify others in advance.

Only sufficient waiting can bring about enough surprises.

If I had said it in advance, it would have lost its flavor.

After a while, just when everyone was becoming more and more uneasy because of waiting.

The reports from the two hosts lifted everyone's spirits and made them sit up straight involuntarily.

"Recently, the movie Battlefield was released..."

Before he finished speaking, some people couldn't control their emotions and started cheering.

The cheers were like a drop of ink dropped into a clear water pool, quickly dyeing the entire pool black.

As the first cheer began, the cheers became louder and louder.

Such an interesting situation reminded Zhou Mo of a picture.

When all the good wills of a person, such as the personification of hard work, struggle, seriousness, and striving, are putting their hands together to encourage each other, a hand different from the other wills intervenes.

The owner of this hand is named "Sleeping".

So, in the next second, all good wills were assimilated into "sleep" and also became "sleep".

"Director Zhou, I'm on TV, I'm on the radio!" Lin Gengxin shouted to Zhou Mo.

He also played an important supporting role in "Battlefield" this time.

I have been running around with the crew during this period.

Zhou Mo smiled and nodded, watching the group of people sharing their joy with each other.

After a while, when everyone's excitement had died down, Zhou Mo clapped his hands.

"Everyone, you all know how well the film has done so far, but in addition to making you happy, I hope you can also notice something else."

Having said that, Zhou Mo paused.

He glanced at all the crew members and nodded slightly after finding that everyone was listening attentively.

Very good, I didn’t get too caught up in my studies.

"Our play has achieved good results, so it has naturally received a lot of attention. Tonight's broadcast is proof of this.

I can tell you that the joint broadcast is just the beginning, and there will be countless subsequent interviews on the film by various media.

In this process, we will encounter various problems, some of which are very common, some are very tricky, and some may even be malicious.

I hope everyone will take this matter to heart and prepare the relevant content well after returning. We have come so far, and we must not make any mistakes at the last minute. "

As soon as the words fell, a string of assurances came pouring in.

"Don't worry, Director Zhou. I've already memorized all the tragic scenes provided by the crew."

"Me too, I've seen it several times, there's absolutely no problem."

Seeing this, Zhou Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

This way, he was completely relieved.
