New Age Artists

Chapter 255: Commercial Film Narratives, Digging Up the Graveyard of Art Films (44)

8 month 7 day.

on Monday.

Shen Santong came to change the publicity plan, joined forces with Ning Hao's team, and returned to BJ overnight.

The box office figures came out yesterday, Sunday, at 2860 million.

The total box office reached 27640 million.

The box office performance of this movie is even better than Birthday, with over 120 million yuan in its first week and over 150 million yuan in its second week.

The second week was 30 million higher than the first week.

Previously, only Shen Santong's films could achieve this data.

It is far better than "The Promise", which failed to sell well in the second week.

Shen Santong announced: "The total national box office of Stone has exceeded the 2.5 million of Hero. Ning Hao has set the highest box office record for both theatrical debut and commercial debut."

“Every step forward is a new record.”

Ning Hao apologized, "I was impulsive and deviated from the original promotional plan."

Shen Santong said: "You are not the one who should apologize. You have done well enough, and this play is successful enough. If you don't believe me, ask everyone else."

Xu Zheng said, "Haozi, stop pretending. How many people are jealous of this result? Why are some people criticizing it? Isn't it just jealousy?"

The main creators are so happy about the current results that they can even dream about it.

It's already exaggerated.

Everyone was on their way to the celebration banquet.

Shen Santong looked through some media reports.

"Crazy Stone" director Ning Hao responded: Plagiarism makes sense"

"Stone director Ning Hao responds to talk about plagiarism"

"Stone's creator beats up a female reporter, please watch the VCR"

"Stone Director Ning Hao Should Thank His Mentor Guy Ritchie"

Guy Ritchie is Ning Hao's creative grandfather

Ning Hao: My Dad Guy Ritchie

"Chinese films should learn from the outside world and copy what they can."

Ning Hao responded: As long as the copying is good, it makes sense.

Shen Santong didn't even bother to read the rumors about beating up reporters, he only cared about how the media would write about Ning Hao's response.

Shocking article.

Most of the negative aspects of "Crazy Stone" come from its plagiarism of Guy Ritchie.

Ning Hao seems a bit pretentious on this issue. He doesn't need to emphasize that the script was written even earlier than Guy Ritchie.

As if he could be mentioned on par with Guy Ritchie.

Although this type of subject matter is quite limited, reference is reference and plagiarism is plagiarism, there is nothing to deny.

Anyone can see that it is filled with a lot of elements from "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "The Thief". The inheritance relationship between "Crazy Stone" and its predecessors cannot be erased.

Almost as he expected, the title was titled "Ning Hao's Response".

It seems rational, but in fact, it blurs the line between reference and plagiarism.

Ning Hao was labeled as a plagiarist.

Guy Ritchie became a grandfather and Ning Hao became a grandson.

After reading to the end, Shen Santong didn't want to read anymore.

I read several reports in a row and almost all of them had the same argument.

Some media outlets use clichés that recognize their fathers and grandfathers, and they take pride in it.

The technique is a common one, which is to negate everything through one point.

People like Hu Shi find advantages and exaggerate themselves into heroes based on these advantages.

But for real heroes, they find flaws and slander them as scum based on these small flaws.

Ning Hao became a plagiarist scum.

Shen Santong just felt a little regretful, but it didn't affect his mood.

This is the purpose of some media, and this is the only means they have.

It always creates anxiety and hatred, making people feel uncomfortable and unhappy.

Only by exhausting emotions can some people succeed.

Celebration party.

The main creators of "Crazy Stone" held a celebration party.

Ning Hao smashed 276400000 ice sculptures.

Tuesday, October 8th.

late at night.

Box office releases on Monday.

873 million.

The plunge was so severe that it could not be described as a halving. It fell to one third, almost to a quarter.

That’s one digit less than Sunday.

Fan Bingbing ended the roadshow.

Shen Santong tried to punish Li Xiaolu and almost resorted to violence.

The little deer is calling.

It would be great if we really fought.

8 month 8 day.

Box office sales on Tuesday reversed the decline, thanks to a celebration banquet.

Closed at 1232 million.

Shen Santong was right to act decisively, allowing some media to succeed and the box office in the third week would be ruined.

October 8, Wednesday.

Closed at 1030 million.

October 8th, Thursday.

Closed at 790 million.

Friday, January 8th.

Closed at 830 million.

Get Friday's data.

Shen Santong knew that it would be difficult for Stone to surpass Life and Death and the weekend box office would not be ideal.

8 month 12 day.

It closed at 1330 million on Saturday.

8 month 13 day.

It closed at 1020 million on Sunday.

In its third week, it earned 7100 million, with a total box office of million, just one step away from becoming a big ship.

Shen Santong ended the roadshow.

The box office potential has reached its limit, copies have begun to decrease, and roadshows will have little effect.

Of course, the publicity and promotion will continue, and the final shot will be fired.

It surpasses "Titanic".

Anyone can create a super big ship by using memes in publicity and promotion.

Large ships can be used as a standard and a unit of measurement in the future.

The roadshow came to an end, and Shen Santong took the opportunity to review the lessons learned from Shitou.

First, the movie was a huge success.

When the film is released, the box office will definitely exceed 400 million.

If this wasn’t a success, there would be no success in the current film market.

Shen Santong was determined to make movies that audiences would like and entertain, whether he was directing or producing.

Serve the audience.

The road is extremely broad and the future is extremely bright.

Success and joy are the main aspects.

Second, lessons.

New directors will need to undergo media public relations training to strengthen their ability to withstand public opinion storms.

The media should start with itself.

Shen Santong has no control over the relevant media organizations. Even if he uses some means to bring someone down, it will be the same if he comes back.

It’s better not to do it, so as not to stimulate their evolution.

It is better to have the stupid and bad ones on top than the bad and smart ones.

The media can’t do anything about it, but he will definitely take revenge on the film industry, especially the market-oriented field.

The academics stabbed him in the back.

This shows that constructing a commercial film narrative is urgent and concerns his core personal interests.

He wants to create a narrative logic that is different from Wen Yi Lao Deng’s.

Originally he wanted to wait until later to implement the new cultural strategy.

Now it seems that these people have harmed his interests.

Start doing it now.

Of course, construction is a long process, and destruction is the fastest.

Instead of improving yourself, it is better to deny others.

Shen Santong is not a person who only reflects.

He wants to dig up his ancestors' graves.

Dig out the story of the new wave of Chinese culture and how Chinese films were hyped up by the fat white people in the United States.

The new fucking new wave, look at the Chinese film market.

American uncle, I’m going to fry you, French girl.

In addition, the dark history of the country of Mao should also be exposed.

When Germany came, you Chinese men didn't dare to say a word.

Victory is achieved, you shaggy men walk out of the room and start grabbing women and shaving their heads.

This is the romance of the country.

New wave?
Diversity?

relaxation?

It's just a scam, what a bullshit technique!
Then kill the sixth generation.

Let’s take a look at how the old guy’s disciples, six generations of rubbish, use external funds.

What exactly are the three major awards? Let’s dig it out and show it to you.

Cut off the market again.

on the one hand.

Don’t give the old guys and their established disciples the opportunity to make money from the market.

Keep them out of the market.

In the future, when the film market develops rapidly, there will be not only meat but also soup.

Let them isolate themselves, play by themselves, and rot and stink.

on the other hand.

Use the naked benefits and high returns of the market to attract good seedlings that have not yet taken shape.

Don't follow Lao Deng down the same path until the end.

A multi-pronged approach.

He wanted to tell these old men why the flowers were so red.

He could tolerate being scolded because Shen Santong was not as young as he appeared.

But it is not okay to cause him to lose real money and harm his interests.

must die!
Shen Santong first asked the public relations department to spread negative information about Richie.

It's not black material, it's just some facts that the media didn't mention.

Some media think that recognizing Ning Hao as a father is a reward.

Shen Santong just felt disgusted.

After "Snatch", Guy Ritchie's career took a sharp turn for the worse and he botched the movie "Legal Mavericks".

He then returned to his old ways and released the gangster movie "Revolver", which still received rave reviews.

Guy Ritchie's failure was largely due to his search for meaning.

Introducing random thoughts into an otherwise complex film.

The story is already multi-threaded, making it even more complicated and falling into a series of failures.

From Guy Ritchie's life experience, Shen Santong thought of Ning Hao.

If Shitou is a great success, Shen Santong will give Ning Hao a big red envelope, and paying off the mortgage will not be a problem.

Without the cold reality, the literary youth in Ning Hao's mind would probably resurface.

Ning Hao and Guy Ritchie have similarities.

After success, pursue depth and self-expression.

It’s just that Ning Hao has his own reflections that are unique to the older Chinese.

In the previous life, behind Shi Tou, there was praise from the audience on one side and denial from the industry, especially the academic community, on the other.

Ning Hao looked for the reason in himself. In order to prove himself in "Crazy Racing", he played a big game and made a lot of loose ends.

In "No Man's Land", a linear narrative begins, but the tone is dark.

Academic thinking is a common phenomenon.

The fifth and sixth generations have a history of being recognized abroad.

The Five Dynasties wanted to make money and gain fame by standing or bending over, but they knew they could not kneel.

The sixth generation is that as long as you give recognition and money, there is nothing you cannot kneel down to.

As for Ning Hao, a new generation director born in the 80s, he has no intention of kneeling.

But there are also plots of author films and art films.

It can be understood as a literary youth disease.

As a director who graduated from the photography department, Ning Hao is more eager to prove himself than those who graduated from the directing department. He has no choice.

If you don't take the box office route, there is no other way to go.

It's hard to win an award.

Ning Hao is a famous student at Beijing Film Academy, and is one of the top three in the world, with a good family background.

The academic circle doesn’t really rank high.

Many direct disciples and grandchildren are lining up waiting for awards and funding.

Forced by reality, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

He can't enter the circle of the sixth generation, and his movies are not as exciting as those of the sixth generation.

The Sixth Generation was completely supported by some Western funds, and Ning Hao was not that outrageous.

But there are some weird smells in it.

There is a kind of confrontational emotion in it, criticism and scrutiny.

I want to succeed, but I am afraid that others will call me vulgar.

There has to be something artistic and profound.

When it comes to "No Man's Land", it is pure beastliness and darkness.

Longing for the abyss, solidifying the abyss until you fall into it.

I just never thought that people don’t have to live in the abyss, let alone walk in the heavenly palace.

At least you can walk on the earth, stand up and be a human being, and be happy instead of looking so sad.

Of course, there are also good sides to No Man’s Land.

This is enough to show that the garbage of the sixth generation is not a problem of stance, but a real lack of ability.

"No Man's Land" is also desperate, even more desperate.

But it is much higher than the sixth generation.

Even people who don't like it will admit that it is a good movie.

Shen Santong has to consider Ning Hao's future.

Once you become rich and successful, you will definitely become a literary and artistic person.

Shen Santong also didn't think he could change Ning Hao, as his three views had already been set.

Unless Ning Hao figures it out himself, it's useless for others to persuade him.

Shen Santong thought about it and decided there was someone who could be saved.

I sent a text message to Guo Fan, admonishing him: "You should stop having literary and artistic ideas in the future, and be a good person."

Guo Fan, who was carrying a camera and running outside, received a text message and looked confused: "?"

(⊙_⊙)?
How is he not a human being?
