I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 791 Changing Directors (33)

In fact, the real-time box office of "The Wandering Earth 2" during the day has surpassed that of "Man Jiang Hong". Even if the screening schedule is not as good, the real-time box office of "Little Broken Earth" is higher than that of "Man Jiang Hong"!

But "Ball 2" can only win during the day. At midnight, it is the world of digital life.

This went on for several days in a row!
The Wandering Earth 2: A civilization (ticket) without people (house) is meaningless.

Man Jianghong: Your understanding of digital life is too narrow.

You only know about "film industrialization" but don't understand "box office industrialization".

What does "box office without people is meaningless" mean?
It’s obvious that “a full field with no one in it is invincible”!
How can a movie earn tens of thousands per minute just by watching real people?

Where can you achieve a box office of 5 in 40 minutes and a box office of 11 million in minutes? Where can you achieve the miracle of "the theater is full in an instant"?

Why do many people who support "The Wandering Earth 2" dislike "Man Jiang Hong" so much?
If it is a fair and clear overtaking, such as "The Wandering Earth" being overtaken by "Nezha", everyone will actually have a blessing mentality.

I will be truly happy for two good movies.

But if someone "overtakes" by using ugly off-field operations, it would be really uncomfortable.

Good works can stand the test of the market, but the prerequisite is fair competition. But is the current situation still fair competition?

Shen Liang was very calm: "'Ball 2' is divided into two parts. It doesn't matter that the first part was reversed. On the contrary, it aroused strong dissatisfaction among many fans. When the second part is released during the Spring Festival next year, it will be unstoppable!"

"How does Guo Fan feel?"

"…He is in a good mood. The reputation of the movie has surpassed the first one…Although the box office is not as good, there is no problem in making a profit…In addition, the price of the new media copyright has also exceeded that of "Man Jiang Hong", and the peripheral development is also good!"

“…When will the filming of Ball 3 start?”

"When he is ready..."

"Then are you still working with Zhang Yi?"

Shen Liang hesitated for a moment: "…There is no problem with the script of "Nine Thousands of Miles to the West"…Zhang Yi's level is here…and I also want to work with Jackie Chan…I don't think he will change the director! And the special effects technology of this movie is top-notch…"

“…but the audience doesn’t approve of him now!”

"Then I... will ask Rao Xiaozhi!"

……

Shen Liang has always felt that film and television products are commodities after all. The end users are consumers and audiences, the middlemen are theaters, the distributors are manufacturers, and the director is a link in the production line.

It is true that people treat film and television products as works of art, but in the final analysis, they are still commodities.

Once there is a problem with the end consumers' recognition of the product, it will eventually backfire on the manufacturer, and the middleman's protection will be useless.

The middlemen's unscrupulous maintenance is not because the producers have a good reputation, but because it is profitable.

This is the reality. In fact, it is not just Zhang Yimou. Most of the famous directors of his generation have also fallen into a similar dilemma. Where is Chen Feng now? What works have they produced?
These directors were born at the right time and caught up with the golden age of the Chinese film industry. They also tried to cater to the wave of film development with some talent, but their ideas were somewhat biased, which led to excessive catering to commercial trends.

Add to that personal traits and preferences, and the final product is what "Man Jiang Hong" looks like.

After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Min became a big hit in North America, that group of directors seemed to have discovered the box office code. They no longer considered the logic and appeal of the story in the movie, and began to frantically pursue the commercial route of big investments and big scenes. The stories were a mess, and the scenes were all beautiful in their own way.

The result is that audiences are less and less interested in watching the show, but they still want high box office, so naturally there will be more and more weird things happening.

To put it bluntly, the film production ideas that used to rely on catering to European and American stereotypes, catering to various foreign awards, and catering to box office sales are now no longer accepted by the market.

To put it bluntly, it’s not that these people lack talent, it’s that they are out of date.

There are obvious differences in the way these fifth-generation directors think about movies compared to the sixth-generation directors who came after them.

It's time for them to leave, that's the way things are.

Shen Liang’s fans overlap with fans of The Wandering Earth…

This group of people are very angry about "Man Jiang Hong"... The movie "Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Miles West to Anxi" has a very complete script, and the requirement for the director is to control the big scenes!
To be honest, Zhang Yi is indeed very suitable.

The problem is that after "Man Jiang Hong", he has actually stood on the opposite side of Shen Liang.

Even if both parties do not have this intention, in the eyes of movie fans, Shen Liang represents the new generation of filmmakers, while Zhang Yi is the villain who colluded with the capital!

This thing...can't be washed!

In the final analysis, "Man Jiang Hong" is not strong enough.

If it was a movie with a score of 8 or above, people wouldn’t complain about it like this... It’s nothing like “Balls 2”!

Now that we have met, there is still a difference in strength.

Who forced it to collide head-on?
It is not hard enough, and if you hit it hard, some debris will fall off.

However, Lu Yang has "Shushan" and "Assassination of Novelist 2" in his hands. Recently, he has been discussing "Dart Man" and "Swords, Guns, Swords and Sticks" with Wu Jing...

I guess I can’t take over “Go West to Anxi”…

It doesn’t matter, there’s still Cao Dun!

Cao Dun is also a photographer by profession. He is very strict about visuals and forms, and is also excellent in narrative and rendering...

After Shen Liang contacted him, the latter immediately expressed his desire to come to Yunnan.

"You only have half a year to prepare, so focus on preparing, breaking down the script, surveying the site... there are a lot of things to do... don't come over for now, I'll take you to meet Jackie Chan after a while, and this will be settled!"

"Well, thank you, Brother Liang!"

……

The filming of "Where the Wind Goes" was not very fast...

The main thing is that there is plenty of time, and ten hours of shooting a day is enough!

The actors acted pretty normal.

Most of the show consists of daily conversations.

The series begins with Xu Hongdou recovering from her injuries and moving into the Fengyuan Courtyard.

This place is like a paradise described by Tao Yuanming. A breeze can blow away all your worries. So the sad Xu Hongdou moved in here and began his healing slow life.

Youfeng Courtyard has a total of six rooms, a kitchen, a tea room, and a grocery room.

When Hongdou moved in, the tenant of Room 5 moved out, so there were a total of five tenants.

Each tenant has his or her own story line...

Although it’s not the main point, it’s still quite interesting!

Xie Zhiyao's storyline initially revolves around Grandma Xie and Huang Xinxin...

Huang Xinxin is a college student village official, and Xie Zhiyao has to communicate many of his ideas to her...

To be honest, if it weren’t for Xu Hongdou, Huang Xinxin would definitely be the perfect match for Xie Zhiyao!
After Xie Zhiyao returned to his hometown, his first step was to acquire a dyeing factory and clothing store that was operating at a loss.

He then took over a cafe that was about to close and also started a horse ranch.

He wants to create a complete chain, including a milk tea shop, homestay, tie-dye workshop, horse farm, online store, embroidery workshop, and Shaohua Bookstore. As long as tourists come, they will inevitably come to consume.

Of course, Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou actually fell in love at first sight. However, all love at first sight is based on lust. Xie Zhiyao was just attracted by her good looks!
