I just want to copy books quietly

But at least, a clean theater line was left.

Before several film and television works are profitable, Chasing Dream Huyu has been unable to update the equipment for Starlight Studios, so let's just let it go this year.

The concert is less than 10 days away, and Ghostface is rehearsing quickly.

Brother Chen Fan is still persevering. Although the various indicators of the body are deteriorating, they are much better than the doctor's previous estimate. It can only be said that the strength of will is strong.

Yan Simin also persisted stubbornly.

But according to Yan Yingzhen, it is estimated that it will be within a few days.

His body was exhausted, and it was a miracle that he survived until now, and it was impossible to delay it for too long.

Therefore, before and after the concert, Du Caige may need to spare a day or two to attend the farewell and funeral of Yan Simin's body.

"Full-time Master" has been handed over to Gunner to continue writing.

Currently, Du Caige has a short respite.

In spare time, it is rare to have some free time, you can go shopping with Duan Xiaochen, and do some things that couples should do.

In addition, he also spent a lot of time reading audiences' and film critics' evaluations of "Old Boy", trying to re-examine his works with a reasonable perspective, hoping to grow in this way.

It has been more than half a month since it was launched, and the popularity of "Old Boy" has not faded in the slightest.

Still appearing on hot searches from time to time.

Weibo and post bars continue to discuss this movie enthusiastically.

Chapter 519 Finding Details Is Like Digging for Treasure

The evaluation of "Old Boy" is still mostly positive.

The ratings on the movie time website have also remained high.

Word of mouth and sales are extremely strong.

"I used to think that a movie that cost a few yuan a piece must be shoddy. But it doesn't matter, it's cheap anyway, just kill time. But "Old Boy" is really different. This is a movie made with heart. Whether it's the script, composition, photography, editing, music, all of them have worked hard. Although there are not many special effects, they are just right."

"The first high-quality movie in 2009. Although it is very short, although it is only an online movie. But good-looking things are good-looking. In the past one or two years, the domestic movie market has always been feeding people. Either eat Chocolate-flavored shi, or eating shi-flavored chocolate, is already numb. But "Old Boy" is really different. In my mind, it deserves the word 'excellent'."

"I think the story of "Old Boy" is very simple, but it has all the ups and downs and twists, and the sensational, funny, and youthful ones are all in it. Roughly speaking, it sounds like It is a pot of mishmash. But it is not a hodgepodge. Accurately grasping the heat, adding various ingredients and seasonings at just the right time, Hemingway's skillful hands made a bowl of high-quality Buddha Jumping Wall."

"I don't understand. It's really not difficult to make a movie, and it's really not difficult to tell a story, but why many directors just can't do this simple thing well? Just look at "Old Boy". There is nothing complicated, just A simple story, but it just moves people."

"I am a high school student. Many people say that this movie is for uncles and aunts, and not for young people. But I like watching it very much, and many students in my class also like it. This movie is not difficult to understand , It’s a very simple story, why do you want to create a chain of contempt, saying that young people can’t understand? This is a story about dreams and friendship, young people don’t have dreams? Young people don’t have friendship?”

In addition to praise, the audience also began to discuss the details of the film in depth.

Just as Du Caige expected, almost every expression, every line, every prop, and even every frame in the movie will be analyzed by the detailed audience.

For example, the audience will analyze the changes in Lin He's expressions and tone of voice during the conversation with Chen Zilin to speculate on his psychology.

Based on the arrangement of props in a scene, I will guess whether the director is implying something.

Someone discovered that in the movie where Chen Xiaolin appeared, there were two scenes where he was reading a book.

Once the book in her hand was "Full-time Master", and another time the book in her hand was an all-English book. Netizens zoomed in on that frame and saw the title of the book: "angoficeandfire".

The translation is, a song of ice and fire.

Or simply, A Song of Ice and Fire.

Netizens investigated the book market in Stars and Stripes and Wessex, and found that there is no such book on the market.

Does this mean that Hemingway's next book will be A Song of Ice and Fire?

Some careful netizens noticed that there are dragons, beauties, and knights on the cover of the book.

So it's going to be a western fantasy novel?Dragons and magic?

Some netizens observed a detail.In the movie, there is a scene in Lin He's study, where there are a few records scattered on the table.

Among them are Duan Xiaochen's "New Songs Plus Best Selections" and Yu Yu's "Always Quiet".

Apparently, Yu Yu, who shined in "New Power of Music", is about to release a new album.

In addition, there are many interesting little details in the movie.

For example, the outfits that Chen Xiaolin changed when he participated in the reality show with Grimace Band happened to be the same outfits that Duan Xiaochen wore in the concert.

For example, the guitar used by Lin He in the movie is the work of Master Custer.There is a flashing close-up of this guitar, and a careful netizen has a line of extremely small words: "I hope you will work hard in the field of music and never run out of inspiration."

Netizens boldly speculated that this was a gift from Hemingway's father or a close friend, and it was Hemingway's real love object.

For example, in the part where Walkers and Grimaces performed on the same stage, after the performance, Lin He gave Jiayong Yixi, the lead singer of Walkers, a straw hat with a wide brim and a bowler.

This straw hat is the same as Luffy's in "One Piece".

Then the fans of the Walker Band were all excited, which involved a public case: Jiayong Yixi suddenly started wearing a hat, and it was such a strange hat.

Fans have speculated whether it was given by Jiayong Yixi's girlfriend?

Was it given by his relatives?

Now the answer is revealed.

Jiayong Yixi also admitted in person during the publicity that the hat was given by Hemingway back then.

These were picked up by the supernatural netizens.

Some small details like this may seem boring to people who haven't seen the movie.

But for those who have watched the movie, it is like digging out a buried treasure. Every time they find meaningful details, they will be as excited as New Year's Eve.

It's so fun to dig into the details.

There are also many people discussing the meaning and connotation of the "Old Boy" movie.

Some people even interpreted it in reverse, "This is a fairy tale for middle-aged people. Everything in the film is just appearance. It seems that what you used to be good at is still useful; the girl you had a crush on still likes you now and has been waiting for you." You; former friends still care about each other like brothers. But this is just a humble dream of a middle-aged man. The reality is that that girl has long been married to another woman, those brothers have long since ceased contact with you, and what you are good at has long been Worthless. In the film, there are actually a lot of metaphors..."

Then he used a lot of details to prove his point of view. In fact, "Old Boy" is a story about a middle-aged man who is mentally disturbed... I have to say that this guy still has a big brain hole.

In short, the netizens are indeed very powerful, and they have successfully discovered many things that Du Caige himself did not discover.

In addition, because "Oldboy" is so successful, it has almost been booked to be the top-grossing online movie this year, or even in the next few years-in the case that director Hemingway does not continue to make online movies.

So someone seriously analyzed the reasons for the success of "Old Boy", sprinkling thousands of words, involving interdisciplinary knowledge such as social psychology and advertising marketing, lens language and analytic geometry, subconscious correction and mindfulness therapy, music therapy and time management. .

"On the surface, "Oldboy" is a work of realism. But in-depth analysis, you will find that it is a work covered with realism, but its essence is a masterpiece of deconstruction, magic realism and postmodernism. "

In addition to those who let themselves go, of course there are also those who analyze seriously.

"Why do we like "Old Boy"? Because it is simple, because it is true. Not everyone has formed a band or been a rock singer. But the emotion of pain and struggle is the same. I am not a musical genius like Lin He, and I also There is no beautiful girl like Duan Xiaochen waiting for me. But I can understand Lin He's mood."

"It captures the tears and pain points of middle-aged men, and embodies the contradiction between unsatisfied dreams, self-realization and powerless reality."

"I don't know, I just like to read it anyway. The story is good, and I really like the music in it."

"I came here because of Duan Xiaochen. But to be honest, even if Duan Xiaochen didn't star in this kind of movie, I would still like it."

It's not just the audience to analyze.

In fact, practitioners have also begun to seriously invest in various analyzes of "Old Boy".

As of March 3, the 1th day of its launch, "Old Boy" has already won 13 million box office.

Although the further you go, the smoother the sales curve will be.

But there is almost no suspense to break the 3000 million box office in the first month.

Now the focus of attention of the media and film and television industry practitioners is whether "Old Boy" can raise the box office in the first month to a new level of 4000 million.

A large number of practitioners almost completely dissected "Oldboy", analyzed Hemingway's directing style, and tried to find out the reason why Hemingway was able to make two consecutive online movies hit the box office.

In the past, when it came to "online movies", the audience's impression was "no stars", "low budget", "poor special effects", "short shooting cycle" and "shoddy production".

These two films by Hemingway, "Those Years" and "Old Boy", are actually very typical online movies.

First of all, these two films do not rely on big-name star actors (Jiang Youxi, Duan Xiaochen, and the Walker Band also have their own traffic, but their appeal in film and television is insufficient).

There are no cool special effects, and it doesn't require too much production budget. The total cost of "Those Years", including publicity, was 300 million. It is said that the shooting and post-production only cost a little over 100 million.

The total cost of "Old Boy" is 700 million, and the actual shooting and post-production cost less than 400 million.

It can be described as a typical example of low cost and low funding.

The shooting cycle of the two films is less than 2 months, and the post-production time is not long.

It seems that it is no different from other online movies, but these two movies have achieved extremely high return on investment.

Chapter 520 The guy who didn't write a song well and went to shoot a movie

What interests practitioners in the film and television industry is that the external conditions of these two Hemingway films are not harsh.

In other words, the success of these two films is likely to be replicated, and many small and medium-sized film and television companies have the conditions to shoot such films.

So everyone is eager to understand a question: Why is it difficult to say that other online movies are successful, but Hemingway's two consecutive online movies can be a big hit at the box office and get a considerable return?

What qualities does Hemingway have more than other directors?Or, what mistake did Less make?

Surely they can come up with something.

But whether the things they summed up are useful or not, then only by making a few real movies under the guidance of these extracted things, and letting the box office fly for a while, can we know whether they have really summed up martial arts secrets, and It's not that the Nine Yin Scriptures have been rehearsed.

Compared with more mature audiences, young audiences under the age of 18 have different concerns.

Younger viewers will talk more about the members of Ghostface,

"Zhou Guorui is so handsome! I don't think it's any worse than those little fresh meats! The key point is that it has a mature taste, and the muscles are also very good-looking. It's so eye-catching!"

"Peng Sizhang is as handsome as ever. I cut out the part of him by the pool as the background."

"What kind of aesthetics do you all have? The most handsome is the director himself. Are you blind? When he stood with Peng Sizhang, Peng Sizhang immediately became a street vendor."

"Go to hell, Peng Sizhang is the most handsome, come to fight if you don't accept!"

"Stop arguing, don't you think Dong Pingpang is actually quite cute? To be honest, being fat ruins everything. Most people look ugly when they are fat, but Dong Pingpang is cute when he is chubby."

"Great! I finally found someone like me. I like Dong Pingpang too!"

"I'm the only one who regrets that there are too few appearances of angel girls. When will our Xu Qingya be able to appear in the heroine movie! I just want to hold her picture and lick the screen. It's so beautiful!"

"One thing to say, Xu Qingya is indeed beautiful, but she is still a little bit green. To see a beauty, one has to look at Duan Xiaochen."

"Speaking of beauty, I, Su Manxian, have something to say."

"Fuck off, Sugou fans. Any topic about Sugou is not welcome here! Your master is already an 'ex-girlfriend', so don't come here to catch the heat."

"The speech of this user group has been blocked due to violation of relevant regulations."

All kinds of quarrels reflect the popularity of "Old Boy" from the side.

It can be said that with "Old Boy" and "Those Years" in hand, when it comes to Hemingway, everyone's impression is no longer "the one who wrote the song", but "the one who didn't write the song well and went to make a movie, but the filming ended up being bad." Pretty good guy."

……

"Old Boy" has such a strong momentum, it is only natural that Chasing Dream Interactive must strike while the iron is hot and add fuel to the fire.

So Du Caige and Duan Xiaochen responded to the management's decision and were forced to reduce the band's rehearsal time and continue to increase publicity efforts.

Including Peng Sizhang, Walker Band, etc., also cooperated in publicity.

But the concert is imminent, so it is impossible to devote all our energy to publicity.

Although the firepower is not fully fired, the effect of the propaganda is still visible to the naked eye.

Beginning on March 3, the sales of "Old Boy" experienced a slight rise against the trend, which is very rare in the history of online movies.

3 month 4 day.

Du Yuqi got up before dawn, and quickly finished the breakfast made by Long Jiumei.

"Check, is there anything you forgot? ID card? Exam admission ticket?" Long Jiumei was nagging at the side, more nervous than going to the exam by herself.

"Don't worry, I'm not that careless, what should be prepared has already been prepared!"

After eating, Du Yuqi wiped her delicate mouth and went out with her small bag on her back, and knocked on the door opposite.

Soon the door opened, revealing Duan Xiaochen's beautiful face, "Qiqi, are you ready to go?"

"Yes. I'm sorry, Sister Chen, but I still need to trouble you to see me off."

Originally, Du Caige was supposed to send his sister to the exam in person.
