The price was that Guwalgiya did not get up to eat breakfast the next morning.

Fortunately, the premiere was at 3 pm.

As long as Guan Xiaotong can get up at noon, she can make it to the premiere.

……

"Mr. Shao, welcome, welcome."

Director Wei brought the main creators of "Great Power" and personally welcomed Mr. Shao in.

There are also naval officials.

However, the military system is very low-key and does not want to be on the entertainment headlines, so they specifically told Director Wei that the protagonist is Mr. Shao and there is no need to focus the spotlight on them.

Just mention it when you issue the press release.

Even if they didn't say it, Director Wei would definitely mention the navy when issuing the press release.

Having the endorsement of the military system is very important for movie fans.

The audience naturally trusts the military more.

And this is indeed a quality inspection method.

For example, "Operation Red Sea" had military backing. However, "Operation Dragon" was advertised as a sequel to "Operation Red Sea," and its promotional material was shrouded in classified information, with exaggerated and high-sounding claims. But a closer look reveals that "Operation Dragon" had no military technical or background support; it was purely produced by Berna Entertainment. The military technical director for "Operation Dragon" was an African...

Hard to comment.

The crew of "Operation Dragon" knew that it would be difficult to review, so this guy's name was not written on the production list when the film was released.

But he talked a lot about it when he was interviewed.

When you come out to hang out, your identity is given by yourself.

As a result, the professionalism of "Operation Jiaolong" was indeed surpassed by "Operation Red Sea" which was endorsed by the military.

Obviously the investment was huge, but the final product is hard to describe.

Military fans don't like it, and ordinary audiences don't like it either.

This caused the boss of Berna, Yu Dong, to directly break the defense of his circle of friends. Director Wei had seen "Operation Dragon" in his previous life. Putting aside the quality of this movie, the investment was really huge.

It is the kind of investment that can be seen at a glance to be large in scale.

Compared to "Investiture of the Gods 2", which was supposed to be a blockbuster with special effects of gods and demons, but turned out to be a cheap blue man with special effects, it obviously had a much larger investment. So he could understand Yu Dong's frustration.

What he didn't understand was how Yu Dong dared to invest so much money in "Operation Jiaolong"?

What I don’t understand is that you have invested so much money, why don’t you find a professional to check it?

What was the idea behind hiring Filipinos as military advisors?

If you look for professionals from Lighthouse or Maoxiong, there won’t be so many complaints. At least people can understand that you are trying hard to spend money on professional things.

Director Wei has no idea how this money was spent.

Besides, it’s not like there are no military advisers in the country.

Director Wei can understand if they want to find a Filipino in order to save money.

This doesn't save money either.

It is not as obvious as "Fengshen 2" in terms of false advertising costs.

What's the point?

The entertainment industry is full of talented people, and there are always many outrageous operations that Director Wei can't understand.

Director Wei, for example, couldn't understand why he cast Xiao Zhan in the martial arts film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Greatest Hero." There are plenty of ways to exploit Xiao Zhan's fans.

At least you can make a movie that targets female audiences.

What was the idea of ​​asking Xiao Zhan to shoot a martial arts movie?

The obvious target audience of martial arts movies is male audiences.

Do you think that most of Xiaozhan’s fans are male?

This is not how money laundering is done.

Even if the movie fails, it cannot maximize Xiaozhan’s interests.

Xiaozhan, martial arts movie, these two words don’t fit together at all.

They even cast Zhuang Dafei, one of the three princesses of the Beijing entertainment industry, who has no popularity or audience appeal, to play Huang Rong. When Wang Yibo was filming a movie, the investors behind him even considered bringing in Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xun, and Huang Bo. But Xiao Zhan chose Zhuang Dafei.

Passersby just hope that the brother will pounce.

The capital behind Xiaozhan seems to want Xiaozhan to die...

How is this kind of investment project established?

How do you feel a project like this can succeed?

There are weirdos everywhere, especially in the entertainment industry.

"Operation Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Greatest Hero" are already outrageous, but there are also masters like "Investiture of the Gods 2".

An epic special effects blockbuster that claims to be a battle between gods and demons, but the special effects are a mess.

It became a literary drama.

The main plot is that Yuanshi Tianzun was drained of his magical powers by a mortal...

Then Ji Fa and Deng Chanyu fell in love while fighting on the battlefield...

The Patriarch Tongtian became Voldemort.

Seriously speaking, even if you are an idiot and want to promote Mongolian culture, how can you promote it by making up such a shitty plot?

The key point is, isn't it normal for this kind of plot to fail at first glance?

The cheesy plot that even passers-by couldn't stand, and any normal person would think it didn't meet the audience's aesthetic standards, ended up being put on the big screen.

Are you addicted to failing?

Director Wei, as a normal person, really cannot understand this kind of operation.

He always feels out of place with the people in the entertainment industry because he is too normal.

Sometimes it feels like they are pushing the limits of stupidity.

And then it makes you wonder how they ever succeeded?

Learn from others.

Director Wei didn't even realize how diligently and attentively he put in filming.

Just shoot normally.

Normally find a screenwriter to write the story.

After writing, everyone will cross-check it.

Then ask for audience feedback to see if there are any plot points that make the audience uncomfortable.

For love scenes, just focus on the love scenes; for special effects films, just focus on the special effects; for action films, hire a professional action director.

If it is a fan-oriented drama, please provide traffic.

If it is a drama for the general public, invite actors with high national popularity and acting skills.

It’s not difficult.

At best, we can’t make a movie that’s rated 8 or 9.

But it won't be shockingly bad.

Why is it that with so many professionals in the entertainment industry, with so much investment, they always manage to break the bottom line again and again?

Director Wei really doesn’t understand.

It feels like these people don't want to make money.

Even if it is money laundering, it is obviously easier if the box office is high.

Even if you want to reap the profits, it will be easier if the show is well shot.

is that really so difficult?

Is there anything harder than making money in this world?

Mr. Shao didn't know that Director Wei was in a state of flux. He spoke a little excitedly, "Director Wei, thank you for your hard work over the past few months."

After all, this is a movie based on him.

Director Wei spoke frankly: "It's not hard at all."

Mr. Shao: “…”

"It's really not hard... This scene is not difficult to shoot."

Mr. Shao suddenly became a little worried: "Director Wei, you have never made a bad movie before, you can't fail on me this time."

“No, I may not be able to make a classic, but I will definitely not make a bad one, because I am very normal.”

Director Wei is very confident.

In the entertainment industry, as long as you can be normal, you can beat 95% of the people.

There is a saying that is true:

The development of the Chinese-language film industry has completely failed to keep pace with the overall development of China.

It is better to rely on short videos to export cultural influence than to rely on the Chinese film industry.

At present, most people in the Chinese film industry do not deserve their current achievements and status.

This is not a condescending comment, but a practical action by passers-by to vote with their feet.

Hearing Director Wei say this, Mr. Shao felt relieved.

In fact, Director Wei had invited Mr. Shao during the internal preview.

After Director Wei finishes editing the film, he usually screens it internally, inviting a small group of viewers to have a sneak peek and collect feedback from the audience on a small scale.

This is also what a mature film production system should do.

Based on audience feedback, production adjustments will be made.

If the audience feedback is particularly bad, the film will have to be remade or even re-shot.

Captain America: New World, the first film to feature a new actor in Captain America, was screened three times internally before its official release, and each time the feedback was overwhelmingly negative.

This resulted in two large-scale reshoots after Marvel finished filming.

The total cost soared to more than 4 million US dollars.

A movie with a budget of over $4 million, with a black man playing the absolute leading man.

With this in mind, it seems understandable that Xiao Zhan was asked to shoot "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Greatest Hero", Yu Dong invited Africans to be military consultants for "Operation Dragon", and "Investiture of the Gods 2" invited a bunch of Mongolian actors to act in a film about gods and demons.

I learned all of this from Hollywood.

When it comes to comparing bad things, there is always someone better.

All I can say is that whether in the Chinese film industry or Hollywood, there is a group of people waving checks and throwing money around.

It's like they have a system for losing money.

Making money? Whoever makes money is not sociable.

But no matter how much you complain, you should choose the good ones and follow them.

Director Wei has learned the excellent habit of internal previews.

They just haven't learned how to cast black people as the leading actors in blockbuster movies.

They have not learned how to hire Africans as military advisers.

Nor have they learned the practice of inviting popular stars or a group of Mongolian actors to star in a blockbuster movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Most importantly, he won't make a movie with the intention of losing money.

To make mistakes that a normal person could obviously avoid.

Therefore, the film he shot, "National Weapon", received very good feedback after the internal preview.
