Let you host the artist, how can you become a superstar

Chapter 451 0450: There is a problem with your script
Today in Jiangcheng, the sky is clear, the sun is shining brightly, and the weather is rare.

After getting in the car, they chatted a few words about filming, and Django yawned several times.

Seeing this, Xu Dongqing stopped talking.

Jiang Ge squinted for a while, and when he woke up, he saw that he hadn't arrived at the hotel yet, so he swiped his phone.

Today is the eighth day of May [-]st, and the top three box office rankings have basically been finalized.

1. "Kung Fu Panda", 2.52 million in a single day, 21.9 billion in total.

2. "This prince is not so calm", 1.33 million in a single day, 18.2 billion in total.

3. "Dragon City Flying Generals 2", 7250 million in a single day, with a total of 15.3 billion.

……

After the May Day holiday, those who go to school go to school, those who go to work go to work, and the number of moviegoers drops sharply.

Judging from the current box office trend, only "Kung Fu Panda" has a chance to break through the box office mark of 30 billion yuan.

In fact, the current movie box office trend is different from previous years. In the past, the box office cycle of a movie could last for a full month. Now, with very few exceptions, it is basically a short-term outbreak, that is, the first week. day to the second week.

The reason is very simple. In the past, there were few blockbusters in the film market, and there was little competition. Movie theaters would always arrange movies that performed well. But now, there are more and more Hollywood blockbusters and domestic blockbusters, which are evenly distributed. The available movies are limited. Once the performance is poor, it will be squeezed, so the box office cycle is shortened.

Of course, there are very few exceptions mentioned above, such as "The Return of the Great Sage", "Changjin Lake", and "Wolf Warrior 2" on Earth. For four weeks, the box office was stable.

In the case of "Kung Fu Panda", the daily box office exceeded 3 million for five consecutive days, and 2 million for seven consecutive days, and the box office was the fastest to exceed 10 billion, 15 billion, and 20 billion.

The animation and film circles witnessed the birth of a king. In just seven days, the box office record of 18 billion animated films created by the Hollywood animated film "Animal Kingdom" was broken!
The horror is that it got 9000 million US dollars in North America and 1.3 million US dollars in other countries.

At this moment, no matter in the industry or outside the industry, they are all conquered by this kung fu panda. No one dares to look down on animated films, especially domestic animated films.

You must know that because animation production is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, and the return on investment is lower than other entertainment industries such as games, after a wave of hot money pours in, the return on a large number of low-quality works that have been launched is obviously not as good as expected, and the market is inevitable. Enter a cooling off period.

Take 2024 as an example, a total of 36 animated films will be released throughout the year, with a total box office of more than 28 billion, but only five films with a box office of over [-] million. The overall animation film market is very deserted.

Therefore, the emergence of super hits like "Kung Fu Panda" has greatly boosted the market.

Jiang Ge was in a good mood when he saw this.

Investing so much money in the animation department and recruiting so many people has paid off accordingly.

Today's animation industry has gone through the brutal growth period of capital influx, and has begun to enter the stage of high-quality boutique personalization. Guoman is catching up with and surpassing the influence of Japanese manga. This stage of winning by quality is becoming more and more Test the output and quality of major production companies. Whoever can win the boutique competition by quality and output will be able to take the lead in the next stage of competition.

This is also one of the reasons why Django decided to launch five animated films in a row. Strike while the iron is hot, even if you can’t create an anime universe, at least you can create an animation brand.

What's more, it can be regarded as fulfilling his dream of an anime fan.

It's really nothing to move the earth's resources, but he will do his best, move forward firmly and resolutely, and pave a broad road for Guoman.

"Jiang Dong, we are here."

Xu Dongqing's voice brought Jiang Ge back to his thoughts.

"okay."

Immediately got off the car and entered the hotel.

------

In the afternoon, Xu Lai and Chen Lei, the two leading actors of "On the Journey", and Xu Dongqing, the assistant director, came to Django's room together.

Django opened this script seminar to make final adjustments to the character design and storyline based on the understanding and suggestions of several people.

"It's been my long-cherished wish to cooperate with Mr. Jiang, and now my dream has come true, so I'm very happy." Xu Lai said with a smile.

"It is my honor to cooperate with Director Xu." Jiang Ge replied with a smile on his face.

"I've read the script of "On the Journey" several times, and it's really well written. It's a genre I've always wanted to try but didn't dare to try.” Xu Lai said.

"Director Xu has won the award." Jiang Ge smiled faintly.

After some business exchanging, several people began to get down to business.

"I have my own opinions on a few episodes." Xu Lai said what to say, he would not be mean when he should brag, and he would not be cowardly when he should criticize, because the script seminar is to find problems: "First, Niu Geng's annual salary is 5K, and he hasn't received his salary at the end of the year. It is illogical to choose to buy air tickets; In reality, it will hardly happen; third, the teacher who goes to the street to beg and cheat to save the students, the mistress who quits when she sees her ex-wife and children, and the wife who doesn’t mind her husband’s cheating but is still gentle, these three roles are set in a forced reversal .”

Django listened carefully the whole time.

There are relatively few changes to the script of "People on the Journey", only "memory" is used to solve the timeline difference, and other places are basically kept as they are.

This is a standard genre film with a clear and clear genre positioning-road comedy movies, like most road movies, make jokes through all kinds of troubles on the road while conveying warmth, conveying that the world is full of love, but funny enough , but the warmth is lacking, just like what Xu said.

And when Xu finished talking, he drank tea while observing Django's reaction.

It is true that he is a senior, but Django is a screenwriter, director, and investor, and has various "first" titles. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to pick Jiang Ge's thorns?
But he is not very worried, because he has studied Jiang Ge's works, and the quality of each one is high, which shows that Jiang Ge must not want this script to be flawed, and he asked Chen Lei on the way here. Django is very nice, not the kind of person who doesn't listen to others.

"Thank you Director Xu." As one of the few comedy directors in China who can match Xia Duoyu's skills, there are still real materials, Jiang Ge then turned to Xu Dongqing and Chen Lei and asked, "Do you have anything to add?" ?”

Xu Dongqing and Chen Lei shook their heads in unison, their levels were quite different.

Jiang Ge continued: "Then let's discuss the three questions raised by Director Xu just now, and see how to modify it to make the plot more reasonable."

I don’t know when, all domestic comedies have become the same, with absurd reality, hard work, and almost gentle irony. "People on the Journey" has not deviated from this kind of theme in terms of major themes and forms of expression. Temperament, relatively mature control is the magic weapon to prevent the audience from aesthetic fatigue.

And the big difference between this movie and those "ironic" small humorous movies is that it aims to show that "people still believe in some beautiful things", and even use this "belief" to overcome some things, so helpless in the external environment In reality, this "belief" is a bit like the "Ah Q spirit" of the character Niu Geng. You can't help laughing at him, but if you lower your head, you may be moved by him.

Therefore, the direction of modification is to make the plot natural and not force harmony.

Time passed slowly amidst the discussions among the four people in the room.
