China Entertainment 2004

Chapter 136 Please give the racing car a chance to be scolded
In the winter of 2008, "Crazy Racing" was like a dark horse, stunned the entire film and television circle.

The box office was 800 million on the first day, 2000 million in three days, and 4000 million in the first week. If it can maintain such a rapid momentum, it will not be a problem to break [-] million.

You know, at the moment in 2008, how many directors in China can achieve a box office of over [-] million?
There are only Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang who are full of money. Ning Hao directly became the fourth mainland director with a box office of over [-] million with this "Crazy Racing", which can be said to be a real hit.

The result of the rapid growth of the box office is that the film screening rate continues to rise, but the problem is that domestic theaters are limited, and the film screening rate of "Racing Cars" has increased, so naturally the film screening rate of other films will be cut off.

The market is so big, who will cut it?
Although "Yangtze River No. [-]" has a mediocre reputation, there are still countless audiences pouring into the theaters for Zhou Xingchi. The managers of the theaters think that only "Slam Dunk" is the most suitable.

Although this movie gathered a bunch of big stars, the box office on the first day exceeded [-] million, but three days after its release, the box office began to decline, and the box office in the first week was not even as good as "Racing".

The theater managers, who have always been mercenary, naturally cut it down and raised the screening rate of "Racing Car" to 30%.

Although the director of "Slam Dunk" Zhu Yiping is well-trained, he couldn't help but connotate a few words in front of the camera:

"Now any actor can make a movie. I just watched it for 10 minutes. Wow, I don't know any actor. I don't know how the audience can watch it. I don't know any actor."

The next day, the entertainment sections of various newspapers hit the headlines: Director Zhu Yiping bombarded "Race Racing", saying that the threshold for making movies is too low now, and a group of crooked actors can actually make movies.

Seeing the reporter scribbling like this, Zhu Yiping was so angry that he vomited blood, and Huang Bai also felt a little stuffed.

He knows that he is still an unknown person now, and what he worried most before the movie was released was whether he would be rejected by the audience, but he didn't expect that now he directly connoted others.

Jiang Yu looked at the newspaper and said happily, "Miao Miao, this is really Miao Miao's father opening the door for Miao Miao, Miao Miao has come home."

Huang Bai said angrily: "Hey, hey, people scolded us for crooked melons and cracked dates, but you are still meowing here."

"You don't understand," Jiang Yu said with a smile, "If he doesn't scold, I really can't do anything about him. His scolding just hit my gunpoint."

Long before the release of "Race Racing", he tried every means to touch Zhou Xingchi, but he was ignored at all, and Jiang Yu made up a bunch of party headlines with nowhere to display them.

The connotation of the director of "Slam Dunk" just gave Jiang Yu a chance to touch porcelain.

In the entertainment circle, the most effective marketing method is to touch porcelain.

After all, what the people who eat melons love to watch is the showbiz tearing it up, how can it be fun to watch it without tearing it up?
Huang Bai glanced at Jiang Yu, not knowing where he was going, but instinctively felt that this guy must have no good intentions.

Two days later, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, an article titled "Please give "Crazy Racing" a chance to be scolded" suddenly appeared on the homepages of Sohu, Sina, Netease, Penguin and other websites at the same time.

"Recently, a great director from Wanwan laughed at the lack of stars in "Crazy Racing", and he didn't know any of the actors in it.

To this I just want to say, I can go to your uncle!
This may be a little impolite, we should maintain the most basic etiquette for friends in Wanwan, so I thought about it and changed the above sentence to, I can go to your uncle!

Since when have domestic blockbusters turned into big investment, big stars, big special effects, big bad movies?

That big director has a movie that will be released at the same time, and it really has a lot of big names. Within 10 minutes of the opening, Zhou Jiegun, Zeng Zhiwei, Cai Zhuoyan, Chen Bolin, Yan Ni, and Wu Chongxian took turns to play.

But I just want to ask, why do we watch movies?
Do you spend 20 yuan just to watch those big stars who do not know the so-called pay tens of millions of dollars and play handsome narcissistically on the big screen for two hours?

Do we still have to watch those so-called great directors, please sell us a bunch of shiny straw pillows to package a piece of shit into a blockbuster?
Cheap or not? !
story!story!What a story!
The most important thing about a movie is the story!
If a movie can make people feel logical, very down-to-earth, and laugh from beginning to end, does it really matter if there are stars or not?
There are a total of four lines in "Crazy Racing", which are interleaved, and finally form a hugely absurd but very fortified story.

Such a script cannot be written without months of hard work.

I interviewed Ning Hao and asked him how he wrote this story. He told me that the greatest absurdity is often hidden in daily life.

He chose to put such an absurd, absurd and even absurd story in the environment of a market place in the Celestial Dynasty, which actually gave people a feeling of fascination.

We all like Hollywood blockbusters, but the majestic and magnificent scenes of the United States in Hollywood blockbusters can never replace the local city scenery.

We really need to see the human feelings at the bottom of the Celestial Dynasty in domestic blockbusters.

However, unlike the fifth and sixth generations, "Racing Car" does not have any rural sorrow, nor does it involve the dark side of society, but those rustic characters, their dialects from all over the world, and the seafood in the streets and alleys of Xiamen The gears, as well as the bicycle race around Ludao, all made me feel a kind of kindness from the bottom of my heart for this local movie.

This is the story of our own people in the Celestial Dynasty.

But who wants to shell out money to see "Crazy Cars"?

Maybe some people saw the movie posters, but they didn't find big-name stars, so they didn't go to see it.

Maybe some people will watch "Slam Dunk" against Zhou Jie and come out to criticize this movie, but they will not give "Crazy Racing" a chance to be scolded.

Two years ago, a reporter wrote an article after watching "Crazy Stone" saying, "Please give a good movie another chance."

Two years later, I have to say: please give "Crazy Racer" a chance to be criticized.

Forget those big stars, every rustic actor in "Racing Cars" is so cute in my opinion.

Huang Bai showed the acting skills of any actor, the idiot killer duo brought the most laughs, and Jiang Yu contributed the best line of the year: The local gang is too rude.

I send this sentence to those big stars and big directors, you are too rude to the audience.

How can you make a good movie with these insects!

Of course, I know that after seeing this, some readers will definitely question whether I received a red envelope to praise "Racing Car" like this, and then start scolding my mother.

If you want to scold, at least please watch the movie before scolding. "

Needless to say, this article was naturally written by Jiang Yu.

But he wore a vest, and the signature was Anonymous.

He's not brave enough to point at his peers and scold "whether cheap or not", but he still has the courage to ask the media to publish a draft and follow the rhythm.

And it's big.

The result was not as he expected. Once the article was published, it immediately caused an uproar.

Although it was "Slam Dunk" that Jiang Yu touched, the directors of blockbuster films in China, as well as the big-name celebrities who took high salaries and played handsome in various ways, still felt that they had been connoted.

Then there are those media reporters who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, in line with the principle of "the New Year's Eve, of course you have to have some fun", reprinted this article one after another, and then added fuel and vinegar to stir up the flames.

A very effective marketing method in China is to sell feelings, especially patriotic feelings.

Although it seems that public knowledge is everywhere these days, and the party that hates the country is running around, but it has to be said that the vast majority of ordinary people are still very patriotic.

As long as you are patriotic and the quality is not bad, the common people will really be willing to pay for you.

This is the case with Wolf Warrior, and so is Red Star Erke.

Although an article may not be able to attract audiences into the cinema, it can at least slightly influence audiences who are willing to watch movies when they choose a movie.

Just like that, Jiang Yu's propaganda goal has been achieved.

What's more, the quality of the movie "Race Racing" is really good, and word of mouth is gradually fermenting.

Especially for young students like Wang Weili, when they saw the media fanning the flames, they were immediately caught up in the rhythm.

In his opinion, those big directors and big stars in the film and television industry are all bad guys, but they are trying their best to suppress good domestic films. If they don't support "Crazy Racing", the Chinese film and television industry will be over.

Driven by this kind of thinking, he made various recommendations in Qzone when he had nothing to do, wishing to tie his friends into the movie theater, and then pinched their ears and told them to support good domestic movies.

"Lan Lan, what are you doing?" He texted his senior sister.

"Help my mother make dumplings, how about you?" Li Lan replied.

"I'm thinking of you, I don't know how long it will be until school starts."

"Hee hee, I miss you too."

"Do you still remember "Crazy Racing", I have already recommended many friends to watch it, should we watch it again?"

"I've seen it all, why are you still watching it?"

"But I want to see you," Wang Weili couldn't help showing his fox tail, "We can book a hotel first."

"Bah, little pervert!"

……

Yanjing Shunyi, in a mansion.

With two dark circles under his eyes, Zhou Jie sits at the computer desk without any image, scrolling the webpage boredly.

These days, he has to help promote "Slam Dunk" and participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, but he is exhausted.

It was only two days before the Chinese New Year that I found an excuse to go home and play games all night while I was busy.

It was time for a truce. He took a sip of coffee and clicked the mouse casually, when a piece of news suddenly popped up.

Since he installed a certain input method, his computer has been completely compromised by pop-up windows, and he was about to close the pop-up windows as usual, but a news headline caught his attention.

Zhou Jie clicked in and moved the mouse, the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why does this feel like it's talking about me?
Looking back at the script of "Assassination of the Tomb" sent to him by Zhu Yiping in the mailbox, he hesitated.

After all, he is also a filmmaker himself, so he still has the basic appreciation ability. The broken script of "Assassin's Tomb" won't be worse than that of "Slam Dunk"...

Tsk, when the time comes, I might be chased and scolded again...

Zhou Jie was in trouble when someone sent him a message: Do you want to cut the game?

"Okay."

With a heartbroken heart, he closed the webpage, and started another game casually.

Forget it, stop shooting!

I'm so tired of making movies.

Isn't it good to write songs and play games, so as to save the media from beeping all the time.

Zhou Jie, who was immersed in the game, didn't know how correct the decision he made in a fit of anger.

"Assassination of the Tomb", that is a super invincible and bad movie.
