Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 148 "Hulk" released, a qualified commercial popcorn

Since the beginning of June, this year's domestic film market has launched a fierce competition for the summer film.

Several film and television production companies have participated in their so-called "giant production" this year.

Some of them are indeed giants, and their performances are quite good.

But some are just talking about it, and even some companies are still using traffic stars, trying to buy popular search promotions and harvest fans during the popular movie schedule of summer.

However, this kind of behavior is already a minority in today's era. In the past, when the popular schedule came, there were many movies of this type, and now there are indeed a lot fewer than a few years ago.

Xu Nuo's real media should be responsible for the decrease.

Because of Xu Nuo's real media, and a group of domestic film and television practitioners who insist on creating high-quality film and television dramas, they have worked hard to bring the already deformed domestic film and television road back to a more normal track.

Domestic film and television capitals see that the mass-produced film and television dramas produced by traffic stars are not making much money, and quality film and television dramas seem to be more able to win the audience's buy-in.

As a result, many domestic film and television capitals have also begun to gradually transform.

Even Penguin Entertainment, which has always been dominated by traffic stars, has released a fairly good TV series this year. In terms of movies, it seems that changes are being made, but it may be because of limited capabilities. Several film and television dramas released this year have the intention of imitating Xu Nuo, but the imitation is a bit different, and it directly becomes a copycat.

In fact, Xu Nuo was quite relieved to see that Penguin Entertainment had made these changes.

This shows that their real media has really made Penguin Entertainment feel the pressure, and they have to start moving in the direction of high-quality film and television dramas because of this.

It's just that Xu Nuo thinks that Penguin Entertainment should have something of his own, and his real-life style is not so easy to imitate.

Time soon came to the end of June.

The 29th is the day when Real Media's new movie "Hulk" will be released.

At the same time, this "Hulk" is also the second film in Xu Nuo's film universe. Netizens at home and abroad are already familiar with the first film, which is "Iron Man" with a box office of more than 20 billion US dollars. .

Iron Man starring Xu Nuo has already left a very deep impression on the world.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Nuo's "Movie Universe" attracted the attention of many people. At the beginning, many netizens did not understand what the Movie Universe meant.

It wasn't until netizens walked into the cinema and watched this "Hulk" that they finally had some clear concepts.

Since the promotion of this "Hulk" by Real Media is related to Xu Nuo's last movie "Iron Man", many domestic film and television up owners have decided to go to the cinema after watching it. With the popularity of "Hulk", I will make a related review video by the way.

Zhang Chaowen is one of the up masters.

His ID on the Xiaopo website is called "Movie Top", and he is also an old friend of Real Media.

Because of Xu Nuo's first movie "Terminator", this up host was invited in the publicity at the beginning, and Zhang Chaowen even made an exclusive interview with Xu Nuo at that time. AI Guanju's first public appearance, it was It was on that interview program.

Today, Guan Ju has become a well-known AI entertainment superstar, Xu Nuo has also become a world-renowned director, and his real group has become bigger and stronger step by step.

But Zhang Chaowen is still the host of the film and television up, and even because of the income from the video incentive plan of the small broken station these years, her studio is almost unable to make ends meet.

When Xu Nuo's "Iron Man" was released last time, he made a related video.

This time, even though "Hulk" was not directed by Xu Nuo, the popularity is still quite high, so Zhang Chaowen brought a few people from the studio to the cinema today, planning to do it after watching "Hulk". One or even multiple related videos, just flow to make money, not sloppy.

"Brother Zhang, the attendance rate of "Hulk" doesn't seem to be as high as that of "Iron Man"."

Xiao Wang from the studio looked at the seats in the theater and couldn't help but said with emotion.

Xiao Wang still remembers to this day that when Xu Nuo's "Iron Man" was released, the attendance rate was incredible, and the shows at popular times were all heads.

It was the most lively movie that Xiao Wang had ever seen, and it was also the one where the entire theater was full of people.

"It's expected. After all, Director Xu is not directing and filming the movie. Director Xu is just a producer. Without Director Xu's promotion, I guess it would be difficult to achieve this attendance rate."

Zhang Chaowen shook his head and said in analysis.

"That's right. I think at least half of the audience here are here for Director Xu's promotion."

Xiao Wang also nodded and said.

Not long after they sat down, the movie "Hulk" started playing on the screen.

On the first day of domestic release today, there are quite a lot of filming sessions for "The Hulk". Judging from the screening rate, it has already accounted for 26.7%, which is already a very good start in the fiercely competitive summer vacation.

We must know that when Xu Nuo's first sci-fi movie "Terminator" was released, the screening rate on the first day was less than 10%.

Now Real Media has become a first-class film and television entertainment company in China, so the movie theater market is naturally willing to give a good schedule for the movies produced by Real Media, especially on the first day of release.

If the box office revenue is relatively good after a high screening rate is given on the first day, then a good screening rate should be maintained in the future, and it may even increase.

But if it fails to meet the expectations of the cinema, it may lower the screening rate the next day and give the shows to those more profitable movies. This is the reality of the theater chain, because they are all for the purpose of making money. The attendance rate is high, and whoever can earn more for the theater will naturally arrange more shows for him.

Of course there are special exceptions.

For example, movie theaters will arrange a large number of special movies in the middle of the night to satisfy audiences who like to watch movies in the middle of the morning, and there are quite a few of these audiences, and the venues may be full.

"Oops, I want to go to the bathroom."

When Zhang Chaowen was watching the movie with gusto, he suddenly regretted the glass of Coke he drank before watching it.

This made him now have a faint urge to go to the toilet.

But on the big screen in front of him, the exciting battle scenes and the absolute power displayed by the Hulk made Zhang Chaowen feel that if he went to the bathroom, the refreshing feeling would not be continuous.

Because most of this kind of movie is about fighting, what you watch is the continuity of that breath, and it is cool to be in this immersive visual effect and sound.

If it is broken, it may be picked up again, and the feeling will not be there.

"Forget it, hold it back."

Zhang Chaowen thought that if he watched a cool movie, he would have a good time watching it, and he came with the task of making a movie video this time, so he planned to wait until he finished watching the movie before going to the bathroom.

"Super soldier serum?"

When Zhang Chaowen saw that the U.S. military was going to restart the "Super Soldier Serum Project" and created the villain's abomination, he suddenly felt exhilarated and linked up. The feeling was really hard to describe, just like It's like suddenly becoming very transparent.

That's right!

What appeared in this movie was actually connected with Xu Nuo's new movie "Dragon Squad", which was quite popular before!

And the connecting bridge is undoubtedly this "Super Soldier Serum"!
This is the movie setting in "Dragon Squad". Judging from the previous trailers of "Dragon Squad", it is because of the use of "Super Soldier Serum" that the character of Dragon Squad became a character with a body far beyond ordinary people during World War II. Qualities of a super soldier.

"Director Xu and his company seem to be working on a movie project with a huge worldview!"

This was the first conjecture that appeared in Zhang Chaowen's mind.

This kind of movie plan is different from the previous series of movies, because the series of movies revolve around the protagonist or the protagonist group, and Director Xu’s company’s movie universe plan, each movie has a different protagonist , and even through the same settings, they can be connected together!

Now Zhang Chaowen understands what happened to Xu Nuo's movie universe.

These stories all take place in a fictional film world similar to Blue Star. "Iron Man", "Hulk" and Director Xu's unreleased "Dragon Squad" all take place within the framework of this world The story, but the time period may be different.

The first two are modern, and "Dragon Squad" is from World War II.

At this time, Zhang Chaowen was not the only one who felt this way, many audiences in the movie theater who had a little knowledge of Xu Nuo's "Movie Universe" were all so excited and excited.

Because they actually saw the very core things in another movie in this "Hulk" movie!

This viewing experience is simply unprecedented!

For the audience of this parallel world, it feels like opening the door to a new world!
After the "Super Soldier Serum" appeared in "Hulk", it was followed by the fist-to-body battle between the Hulk and the abomination, which was the incarnation of the male protagonist.

This "Hulk" gave Zhang Chaowen the most intuitive feeling that it was a blast!

Of course, it can be seen that the director also hacked a wave of America by the way.

The final battle is finally over, there is no doubt that the Hulk defeated the abomination, and then Dr. Banner came to the country and began his "reclusive" life.

Because if he is abroad, he will inevitably be hunted down and irritated. Under such circumstances, he can easily transform into the Hulk.

"Old Zhang, I finally finished watching this movie. There are a lot of fighting scenes in this movie, and the decisive battle with the abomination at the end is also very cool. What I never expected is that there will be a super soldier serum in this movie? This thing is not Director Xu's." Something from the new movie "Dragon Squad"? There was a lot of buzz at the time."

Xiao Wang in the studio turned his head and said to Zhang Chaowen in a low voice.

"Hmm, wait, the movie is not over yet, just watch."

Zhang Chaowen was about to communicate with Xiao Wang, but the movie was not over yet. In the screen, Dr. Banner was sitting at the bar of a bar, drinking a small drink.

Suddenly, a door of the bar opened.

Under the light and shadow, a figure appeared in front of the audience.

"Huh? Who is this person?"

The audience couldn't help but wonder.

When the figure on the screen took off his sunglasses and revealed his real body, there was a burst of cheers in the entire auditorium.

"Fuck!"

"iron Man?"

"Do you mind Director Xu?"

"Wuhu! Even Iron Man is here?"

"Does Iron Man mean to find the Hulk team Avengers?"

"I'll go! Director Xu's company's films are getting more and more interesting."

Amidst the cheers, the audience thought of the easter eggs in Director Xu's movie "Iron Man", and combined with this "Hulk", the Iron Man played by Director Xu found the Hulk, which is obviously to The rhythm of forming the Avengers Alliance!
This surprise came even more violently than the super soldier serum that appeared before!
It is precisely because of these two surprises that the audience has a different viewing experience for this "Hulk", and the movie itself looks very cool, just the fight scene It is worth the ticket price, so after watching the movie, almost no one thinks that watching this wave of movies is a loss.

On the contrary, many people are thinking about the various relationships between the Hulk and Iron Man, as well as Director Xu's "Dragon Squad", which has not yet been released.

There are endless voices of discussion and analysis.

"How can a movie be made like this?"

"I always feel that director Xu's company's films can be linked together. Is this the movie universe mentioned on the Internet before? It's so interesting."

"To be honest, I didn't expect much from this "Hulk". After all, it's not a movie directed by Director Xu himself, but after watching it, I feel pretty good."

"I think this is a qualified commercial popcorn movie!"

"Yes, yes, it's qualified, but it's not very good."

"The appearance of Super Soldier Serum and Iron Man really surprised me, what a surprise!"

After the movie ended, the audience discussed the movie in various ways when they left, and gave their most intuitive evaluation and feelings.

A movie, if there is no lively discussion when the audience leaves after the screening, it means that the movie is very hip!

And the more voices are discussed, it means that the movie is more or less a success!

The Hulk falls into the latter category.

"Xiao Wang, Lao Liang, what do you think of this "Hulk"? After watching it, apart from the two surprises, what's your opinion of the movie as a whole?"

After Zhang Chaowen walked out of the theater, he immediately asked his colleagues in the studio about their viewing experience and evaluation of the movie.

Because after they go back, they have to hurry up and make the video.

After all, to catch the popularity of this kind of movie, all you need is a speed. The faster your video is released, the higher the playback volume will be.

"A commercial popcorn movie that is quite enjoyable to watch."

"More than qualified, but not yet excellent, about seventy or eighty." Xiao Wang gave his own evaluation: "The degree of completion is also quite high, from Dr. Banner's gamma ray mutation to the later stage. The military in the United States, as well as the hatred of the villains, the whole process was not procrastinated, and I saw the industrialization of domestic commercial films. That's an industrial standard."

For commercial blockbusters, being able to produce films at an industrial level is actually a success.

After all, this kind of movie does not pay attention to how profound the connotation you make, it only needs to bring refreshment and relaxation to the audience. After all, the audience is tired enough from work and work. Most of them are trying to relax and have a good time.

"It seems that your views are the same as mine. This "Hulk" is indeed a qualified commercial popcorn blockbuster."

Zhang Chaowen nodded.

Afterwards, he and his colleagues returned to the studio, and began to work hard on the production of the video. Thanks to the hard work of the studio team, the video was released on the day "Hulk" was released.

【Exported by Xu!Real Media's "Hulk", a qualified commercial popcorn movie, the prototype of the movie universe is already available, no spoilers! 】

After Zhang Chaowen's video was released, within a few hours, it had millions of views. It can be said that the popularity of this wave of movies has really reached its peak.

In the title of the video alone, words with their own traffic such as "Director Xu", "Real Media", "Hulk" and "Movie Universe" appeared.

I have to say that Zhang Chaowen is worthy of being a self-media, and he has a firm grasp of the password for traffic.

Even Xu Nuo saw Zhang Chaowen's "Hulk" movie commentary video when he checked netizens' comments on "Hulk" on the Internet.

"Top film and television, is that Zhang Chaowen, right? Check out his evaluation of "Hulk", Guan Ju, play this video."

After Xu Nuo saw this video, he couldn't help becoming curious.

"Ok sir."

After Guan Ju finished speaking, he played Zhang Chaowen's video to Xu Nuo.

The video lasted more than 9 minutes. After Xu Nuo watched it carefully and patiently, he felt that Zhang Chaowen's evaluation was very objective, and he also analyzed the movie universe he wanted to create.

Obviously, the appearance of the super soldier serum in "Hulk" and the appearance of Iron Man played by himself made this well-known film and television up master also feel a sense of surprise.

"Although the box office of "Hulk" on the first day today is not high, judging from the evaluation and word-of-mouth, the follow-up box office should rise a lot."

Xu Nuo has already known the real-time box office of "Hulk". As of today's premiere night, the domestic box office score is 1.8 million yuan.

Coincidentally, it's the same budget as The Hulk.

This box office result is not very good, but it is certainly not bad!
It's just that it can't be compared with Xu Nuo's previous films, but this was already in Xu Nuo's expectation.

Fortunately, this "Hulk" was not filmed by Xu Nuo, and there is no corresponding movie box office target task. Otherwise, if it is given a task target of 20 billion US dollars, Xu Nuo estimates that it will be a bit difficult with today's box office performance. up.

This made Xu Nuo start to worry about the "Dragon Squad" he filmed. Will the box office be as unsatisfactory as "Hulk" by then?
