Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 592: My cabinet has moved, I won’t read it anymore!
In another apartment, Liu Wei was also watching the online premiere of "Grandma".

At his age, he has long been immune to all those superstitious things, or he has never believed in them.

Compared with others who are just there to watch the fun, he is purely appreciating the technical aspects.

Although Zhou Hao's last online movie "Those Years" performed well, it was mostly due to the bonus of the subject matter. The filming technique was really unremarkable... because it was almost entirely straightforward.

If the subject matter was changed, there might not be such box office success or word of mouth.

Since we are going to shoot a thriller and horror theme this time, we obviously can't continue with a straightforward narrative.

So he wanted to see how Zhou Hao performed this time.

After watching for half an hour, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Some people are truly born geniuses, you can't deny it.

Just like a chef cooking, the simpler the dish, the harder it is to make, because the fewer elements there are, the more demanding the details are!
This is why egg fried rice has become a classic culinary assessment item.

The same is true for filming movies and TV series.

A work like this with a single element is extremely challenging for the director. If the timing and rhythm are not well controlled... it will easily fall apart.

But so far, the film's pacing and suspense are quite good.

Especially the creation of that kind of atmosphere is so amazing.

Unlike Western horror films that rely purely on visual and auditory shocks to create a sense of horror, Eastern horror films mostly focus more on creating an atmosphere, using layers of suspense and a terrifying and depressing atmosphere to create fear in people's hearts...

Many directors lack the ability to create atmosphere, so they often take the shortcut of relying on vision and hearing to stimulate people, which makes the film become something neither fish nor fowl.

As for the first half hour of "Grandma", apart from some relatively exciting special effects in some moments of reversal, there is almost no particularly strenuous part. Basically, the whole process is full of psychological pressure with constantly reversing plots and suspense.

Looking back at the crew of "Beginning" more than a year ago, Zhou Hao, who was on the set at the last minute, didn't even know what the director was going to do. He almost started from scratch and learned as he went along.

In just over a year, it has evolved to this point...

What also surprised him was Xu Lingyue, who was the backbone of the team.

I originally thought that the reason why Zhou Hao chose her to star was purely to give her a helping hand when her career was at its lowest point, but I never expected that he would actually tap into her potential!
Although there are still obvious signs of rawness in some acting details, it is clearly better than everyone's expectations!

You have to know that this kind of movie where the camera is focused on the protagonist is really a test of the actors' abilities, especially when there are a lot of close-ups of the face, which makes the requirements for the actors even higher!

In close-up shots, any change in the muscles on the face, any slight change in emotion in the eyes, will be clearly conveyed to the audience. If your acting skills are a little worse... you will either become expressionless and expressionless, or your facial expression management will completely collapse.

Many celebrities are very successful in TV dramas, but make fools of themselves on the big screen. This is a big part of the reason.

Works on the small screen are relatively tolerant of actors and are not so picky about details, but the situation is completely different on the big screen.

As for Xu Lingyue, she had never even filmed a TV series before, but she challenged the big screen directly, and it was even such a difficult genre...

The acting performance shown so far is simply incredible!

How was this guy Zhou Hao trained?
Is this really the magic of love?

At the same time, on various social media platforms, some people have already begun to eagerly express their viewing experience.

"No, no, I can't watch this movie." "+1, I have a bad heart and can't watch this kind of thing."

"Halfway through, I felt the cabinets around me moving, and I just couldn't bear to look at it anymore."

"Hahahaha... So I'm not the only coward?"

"I watched halfway through and then fast-forwarded to the end. It was a bit unbearable."

"Although I haven't finished watching it, I must praise Hongdou's acting. It's unexpectedly strong!"

"Damn, I've been fooled by her the whole time. What's the point of saying she can't act? She clearly just doesn't want to act! With her performance like this, you're telling me she can't act?"

"Hey, didn't someone say she was lazy before? Now it seems that it's probably true. She's just too lazy to act!"

"It has to be Zhou Hao. Only he can pull Xu Lingyue out to act."

"It's all thanks to him. If it weren't for him, we would have been deceived for our whole lives!"

"It's actually good that she wants to focus on singing. If she really goes out to act every day, we, the fans, will not be happy."

"Indeed, human energy is limited after all!"

"But the situation is different now. With Zhou Hao, a god-level assistant, she can do both filming and singing as long as she wants."

"Yes, now that I don't need to create my own works, I should have enough energy to act."

"I'm afraid she'll quit after this movie..."

"Go find Zhou Hao, he must have a solution!"

"You know what, Teacher Zhou is also very good at making horror movies. He scared me into a cold sweat."

"What are you talking about? Has he ever filmed anything that failed?"

"Don't you understand yet? He basically won't do anything he's not sure of..."

In Youying's director center, several small leaders are anxiously waiting for the latest statistics.

The platform has spent a lot of money on the marketing of "Grandma", and everyone from top to bottom is hoping to make a fortune from it!

Online movies are different from theater movies. The performance of the first two days of sales accounts for a very large proportion of the total performance!

It can be said that the box office performance of the premiere basically determines the direction of the market!
Half an hour after the premiere, an assistant came running in with a newly printed report, "Boss, the latest data is out."

Several small leaders immediately stood up and rushed over to grab the report form.

Seeing the series of numbers above, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then waved their fists vigorously.

Half an hour after its release, the number of on-demand views has exceeded two million!
After a six-minute trial, 1.8 million people chose to purchase tickets to watch the film, and the payment conversion rate was astonishingly high!
Although this also includes viewers who have pre-ordered the movie, this result is already terrifying enough anyway!

More than one million people paid to watch the premiere of the same online movie at the same time...another terrifying new record!
Fortunately, Youying’s servers have enough spare capacity, otherwise it would have been stuck and crashed!
After a rough calculation of the current revenue sharing data... everyone's faces were already full of smiles.

The name of the God of Wealth is indeed well-deserved!
