Chapter 1192

"The reason why director Yang Hao is bold is because, once this rhythm starts, you can't stop it. Once you stop, the audience will start to play, start thinking about other things, and want to maintain this rhythm. , is not an easy task, but Yang Hao did it in "Speed ​​​​of Life and Death".

Dare to do what others dare not, this is a major breakthrough, because of this, even if there are some flaws in the plot of the movie, they can't hide the flaws! "Speed" is definitely a movie worth watching, it will make you forget everything, spend 2 hours in a tense and exciting atmosphere, and that's enough, isn't it? "——Film critic Tong Fei.

And Fan Wencheng didn't expect that Yang Hao actually changed his previous style this time, and directly staged a movie with the rhythm of life and death.

There are no extra shots in the whole process, and there are not even any branch lines. It is thrilling and exciting all the way to the end. This kind of movie is actually very risky.

Because of this rhythm, once it is turned on, you cannot stop it, and once it is stopped, it will ruin the whole movie.

Of course, Yang Hao succeeded.

But in this case, it is obviously not reproducible. A movie like "Speed" may do well at the box office, but Fan Wencheng is not so worried.

Because a movie like "Speed" can have a small explosion, but it is difficult to have a big explosion.

Fan Wencheng also began to think about whether he wanted to make something different in his next film.

Although he has already stood among the small group of people, he also wants to become a minority one day.

To put it bluntly in the film industry, the law of the jungle is the same, and everyone is fighting!

What the actors compete for is the resources of the film, the resources of advertisements, and the resources of showing their faces, but the directors?The same is also fighting, but what the directors are fighting for is the market!

Yes, the number of films that can be accommodated in a schedule is limited, and every director must fight for it, and the same is true for film companies.

If you don't fight, maybe you have good strength, but it is difficult to get to the highest lap.

So Fan Wencheng also felt the pressure, and, before, they only competed with these people in the country, so in the future, they will face stronger opponents, and the opponents also have geographical advantages.

Why did Fan Wencheng's "Dangerous Couple" make him famous?The status has been raised by at least one level.

Because "Dangerous Couple" has won a lot of money at the box office abroad, it's not that it worships foreigners, but that everyone is happy that Huaguo has produced another capable director!
This is an incentive. You can only be in the country if you can do whatever you want in the country. If you can fight your way through the door, in this peaceful age, why is there an Olympic Games?Why every gold must fight?

Because this is also a kind of war, why should your national flag be hung higher than others?Just because you won the game, in peacetime, this is also a kind of war.

Why do many domestic companies get attention and have a good reputation if their products can be sold abroad?Because this is also a kind of war, a war of resources.

The same is true for movies. Why can't our movies go to their market to plunder resources?

"Speed" is very popular with those overseas film producers in Hollywood. Compared with "The Hangover", this movie is more in line with their appetite.

In other words, in their view, a fast-paced movie like "Speed" has a higher probability of success with this unique style.

The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and two of the three films by the three major directors have already held their premieres.

Both "The Hangover" and "Speed" have gotten quite good reviews, and some people may not like it, but there is no movie that can be liked by everyone.

However, the performance of the premieres of "The Hangover" and "Speed" also made many people sigh. As expected of a great director, the audience is naturally happy, and the box office is not something they should care about. What I care about is that next, there will be good movies to watch during the Spring Festival.

Both "The Hangover" and "Speed" have negotiated overseas distribution.

"The Hangover" is likely to be released overseas about two weeks later than in China. There is no way, although overseas release has been negotiated, after all, publicity is still needed.

Moreover, a film with a purely Chinese lineup like "The Hangover" cannot be directly released on a large scale overseas. Instead, it will adopt a small-scale screening, and then expand the screening scale to see the effect.

On the contrary, "Speed" is very hopeful that it will go directly to the large-scale release mode, because this movie is really special, and the fast-paced movie may not be used to domestic audiences, but overseas audiences, Especially North American audiences like this type of movie very much.

Both "The Hangover" and "Speed" have ended their first battles, and it can be said that they have declared victory in their first battles.

The overseas publisher of "The Hangover" is the Dick Group, and "Speed" was finally won by the Mina Group.

Therefore, the pressure was all on Fan Wencheng.

Although the three blockbuster films in this year's Spring Festival are all invested by Ling Xiaoge and written by Lin Xiao, among the three films, "The Hangover" is a comedy, and most of the cost is spent on the actors and directors, so the cost is the lowest.

The cost of about 1 million yuan is actually quite high among domestic comedy films.

You don't need to think about paying back the money at all. Qin Gang's movie, you say paying back the money?Do not make jokes.

Of course, this cost refers to the production cost, and the publicity cost must be doubled. If it is released overseas, then the subsequent publicity cost will definitely be higher than the production cost. normal.

It's really normal that the publicity budget is higher than the production budget.

"Speed" is actually not a movie with a big scene. There are not many special effects, but more stunts. This one doesn't cost too much money.

The cost of "Speed" is higher than that of "The Hangover", but it's not much higher.

As for Fan Wencheng's movie, although it is not a movie that requires special effects, many tools used in this movie are much higher than "Speed".

First it was an airplane, then it was an airplane, then it was a fighter jet, and then a helicopter.

Moreover, "Speed" also has Chinese faces, but Fan Wencheng's film has a large number of actors from abroad.

Although most of them are not well-known actors, their pay is also calculated in US dollars.

In addition, this can be said to be an action movie, so the cost of the movie is much higher than the previous two.

Back to the original, Fan Wencheng wasn't worried, but this time, he had great ambitions, otherwise he wouldn't have recruited so many foreign actors.
