Big players in the film and television world

Chapter 240 I'm on the Brink

During the summer vacation, the box office of "Back to 21" exploded. It directly exceeded [-] million in six days, [-] million in [-] days, and [-] million in one month. This made Suning jump from a new film director to an entertainment circle The hot director, plus he is the lead actor of this movie, instantly became a super star, the salary has risen, and the endorsements and scripts have been coming in endlessly recently, let him choose.

This is unpredictable for Suning.

But there are good and bad. Those big mainstream directors, that is, the so-called fourth and fifth generation directors, directly criticized Suning as useless. He is too commercial and not artistic at all, and some even ridiculed his movies as KFC movies...

Of course, there are also good reviews, all of which are commercial directors. For example, Gu Jing, the king of bad movies in Hong Kong and Kowloon and the king of the box office, has commented on Suning's film skills in front of the media more than once. It's good, and it's an excellent movie. The reason why so many directors say this movie is bad is just jealousy.

Hit the nail on the head.

Gu Jing's position in the Hong Kong and Kowloon film industry is detached. Even if the evaluation is not high, he has a very wide network of contacts. Therefore, the discussion about the pros and cons of the movie "Back to 21" has become more and more in full swing.

However, when Gu Jing said this, he didn't have any injustice, he was just hyping for his new movie "Invincible Detective".

This is the instinct of a commercial director, and if he is popular, he must attract attention. After all, there are so many directors who criticize Suning. If he wants to be different, he must do the opposite. Anyway, Gu Jing's status and connections are enough to bear these pressures.

Suning is very annoying.

His life has been in a mess recently, and his astonishing box office has put him on the cusp of the storm. The paparazzi and reporters are not entangled with him, trying to squeeze the heat.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

Are those big directors jealous?Of course they are jealous, they have worked so hard to make a movie that can be called art at the box office, but they lost to this kind of romantic comedy that moaned without disease.

Moreover, the film of a newcomer like Suning actually broke the box office record of mainland films, which will also lead to the popularity of new concept films such as "Back to 21" proposed by Suning.

Capital tends to follow suit. If this kind of movie becomes popular, the art films of those directors headed by today will definitely be impacted, just like the impact of Internet media on paper media, it will be fatal.

But what about criticism?Suning is backed by several major entertainment giants and has an official background. Apart from criticizing, what can those big directors do?What dare to do?It's just moaning without illness, and Suning doesn't care about it.

The big old king is naturally the biggest winner. A film with an investment of 800 million has a return rate of nearly 300 times. Even if Suning also invested in it, it is only 500 million, of which [-] million is invested by China Star.

There are naturally many winners.

For example, Qin Siyu, who became a popular star directly from an unknown newcomer, even if he didn't have enough coffee, his popularity was enough to compare with first-line stars.

Chen Shuai also further let the audience know him, no longer Chen Cheng.

Wu Jin even obtained the character of a warm man through the movie, and his popularity soared. Huaxing gave him a TV series with a male lead.

The one who regrets the most is of course Liu Xiaoqian, the kind who regrets it, especially when Suning said that the heroine of the first movie will directly play the heroine of his second kung fu movie.

She gave up the heroine of "Back to 21", and the heroine of the second kung fu movie with an investment of up to [-] million is naturally impossible to be her.

Does Liu Xiaoqian regret it?There must be some, but if you say how regretful it is, there must be some, but she still tells herself that she missed it because she has something better.

Because she has already got the director of Hong Kong and Kowloon University, the heroine of Wu Senlin's "Iron Knight", although she has not read the script, but Wu Senlin once directed an A-level production series blockbuster "Secret Agent 2" in country M, with a global box office of 100 million Thirty-one million knives, even if the box office of "The Wind Talker" he directed later hit the market, the centipede is dead but not stiff, and the power is still there.

Compared with the low-cost comedies like "Back to 21", she wants to follow the path of an international superstar. As long as "Iron Knight" hits the box office, Wu Senlin will definitely be able to return to Hollywood, then she will also take advantage of the opportunity to enter the international entertainment circle. At that time, the entertainment industry in country h will only be a stepping stone for her.

However, "Guo Shi Wu Shuang" not only has a box office of less than [-] million in the mainland, but even the global box office has been cold.

But Suning is different, kung fu movies are his strong point, and with the popularity of his "Fight Club", it is impossible to lose money.

In this regard, Liu Xiaoqian can only comfort herself, her dream is to become a powerful actor in the acting school, not the queen of commercial films, so she can comfort herself.

……

A few days later, a press conference was held in front of a crowd of reporters and audience.

Zhang Longtu sarcastically said: "A popcorn director like Suning is a disgrace to our director world, because he has stripped away the artistry of the film."

"But Director Zhang, the number of people who rated Suning's movie on Doujiang is higher than the number of people who rated all your movies combined." A reporter deliberately asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Longtu refused to answer.

A day later, a reporter interviewed Suning and asked him what Zhang Longtu thought about his film.

Su Ning replied with a smile: "Director Zhang Da is indeed good at making some novelty-seeking movies for foreigners, but I want to say that country H is now strong and prosperous, and he always shoots the feudal and backward era for foreign audiences. This is an act of discrediting country H, so my next movie is a kung fu movie, a kung fu crime movie, and I want the world to know that the kung fu of country H is invincible in the world."

Before he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause.

Where there is a contradiction, there is something to watch.

Ye Gangpao was actually very jealous, but he and Suning were on the same boat, so he stared at the big director's criticism and praised Suning greatly.

Da Lao Wang is very proud recently, "Back to 21" is a box office hit, directly breaking the box office record in the mainland film industry, and "Titanic" is not counted.

Not to mention, the investment of this film is only 800 million, but the box office has 200 million, which is nearly [-] times the rate of return. In the mainland film circle, this is the first one, and I believe it will be difficult to have the first one. There are two.

Of course, this is not important, the important thing is Suning. If his second film can achieve this result, then he must be the No. 1 director of the mainland film.

One glory and one glory.

Due to the box office boom, the overseas release of "Back to 21" in island countries, Bangzi country, M country and other countries is also scheduled.

I believe it can also cut the box office. After all, Suning also has box office appeal around the world with "Fight Club".

Today, discussions on new concept films are in full swing with the film industry on the Internet, with some people praising and others belittling.

Young people especially like this kind of movie, thinking that this movie is both refined and popular.

Most of the older directors criticize this kind of movie, thinking that this kind of movie will ruin literary films.

But mainland literary films have always been sold as commercial films, what are the selling points?Naturally, the popularity of those great directors.

Of course, the most discussed is who Suning and Zhang Longtu are the No. 1 directors in the mainland.

This is an unsolved problem.

Commercial films are naturally favored by capital.

Even if Zhang Longtu’s films are also commercial films, they are not pure. They are commercial films based on literary and artistic films. When there is no comparison, there may be nothing. The film made by Zhang Longtu is more artistic and touching than Zhang Longtu's film.

Talented people come out from generation to generation. I wonder if the newcomers can replace the old ones?
