Big director

Chapter 159 Movies Are Just Movies

When this movie was released, no one would have thought that such a "ultra-low-cost" movie with dialects throughout, a new director, and actors all [-]th-tier, would suddenly emerge and create a sensational scene. Amazing box office!

With an investment of 300 million and a final box office of 2300 million, this director named Ning Jie became famous in one fell swoop - of course, several actors who starred in this movie, especially an ugly actor, Huang Hai, also quickly became popular , Such a heaven-defying return on investment ratio, which investor would not feel envious after hearing this!

It was at this time that many viewers suddenly discovered that the investor of such a little-known movie was actually Liu Jundi!

Liu Jundi, in the entertainment circle, this is a legend.

One of the hardest-working and most prolific stars, a character like an evergreen tree, among the stars of the same generation, he is neither the best acting nor the most handsome, but he has persisted until now, but he has gone the fastest The one far away, because of his artistic virtue and character, thousands of movie fans always love him.

As early as the 90s of the last century, he began to engage in film investment with the remuneration obtained in exchange for high-frequency filming.It is because Hong Kong's film industry continues to shrink. As a star, it is very difficult to stick to this "support plan" like a bottomless pit all year round.Because except for very few exceptions, almost all the films invested in ended up losing their money, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars just evaporated, and in the end they turned against their partners and filed a lawsuit... This once made him very sad. Is disheartened.

But even though he was disheartened and always somewhat idealistic, he started a new round of investment plans in 2004.

Select six cutting-edge Asian directors, invest 2500 million Hong Kong dollars, and shoot a total of six films.

This "Crazy Jade" is one of them.

In fact, if this movie hadn't happened to hit the World Cup, it is estimated that the box office results would be even worse.

But even with the current results, it is very surprising!It can be said that in the first half of this year, this movie is the best performing movie!At the same time, the significance of this movie is not just about "making a lot of money", it also gave many people who are addicted to the "blockbuster myth" a big blow!

A good movie cannot be piled up with money. As long as you tell a good story, even with an investment of several million RMB, you can make a good movie!

How do you tell a story?Don't play tricks, let the audience feel comfortable and enjoy watching, and don't deliberately show off your shooting skills. As a director, you only need to think about how to shoot a story to make it more exciting and moving.

Afterwards, Liu Jundi said with a smile in an interview: "When I met Ning Jie and then saw the script he brought, that feeling...you know, it's like your mother asked you to go on a blind date, and it turned out Only after you went there did you realize that that girl is the goddess in your heart!"

In any case, a small-budget film has achieved success, like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing ripples in circles. As for who noticed and who was touched, it is hard to say at this time.

If "Crazy Jade" is considered a dark horse at the box office, then "Wen Tian 2" is a box office predator that has long been expected.

On August 8, "Wen Tian 12" will be released!

It is still a domineering global release, and then, from China to foreign countries, this film has almost no enemies!

If "Tao" is the most expressed in the first part, then "love" is the most expressed in the second step.

It is not just love in a narrow sense, but also includes friendship, family affection, and in a broader sense, compassion for the same kind, tolerance for the different, and as a "creature", at the beginning of cultivation and at the end of cultivation, what is discarded, and What did you get.

Speaking of it this way, it seems a bit abstract, and the proposition is too big, which will always make people feel boring, but this is probably the magic of the director.Under the lens of Zhu Zimo, the whole world of self-cultivation is narrated, wonderful fighting skills, clever editing, and no unnatural plot connection. This "Wen Tian" is worthy of being written by the master of Internet literature, so let's make it cool Speaking, web writers are much better than traditional editors!The brain hole is also relatively large, and the rhythm is wave after wave, which is so cool that people can't stop it!

All kinds of "feelings", there is no preaching, they are all revealed naturally in the plot, for each audience to evaluate and reminisce by themselves.

Undoubtedly, such an excellent film will definitely not perform badly at the box office. It almost exceeded 5 million on the first day, which is even more terrifying than the first film. It can be called devastating!The films that were released at the same time had almost no room for survival. Many of them were canceled after two days. Grandpa told grandma, but starting from the next day, five cinemas were originally scheduled to be screened at the same time, but suddenly it was spread out to eight, that is to say, all the theaters in the country were wiped out!

With such a terrifying schedule, the second day of release surpassed the 600 million of the first day, becoming one of the rare films with a box office gain, raking in 1000 million RMB!This horrible result caused the media all over the country to blow up, is there any mistake!Still not human? !Director Zhu, you play like this every year, don’t you want us to live?You are an alien, right?I beg the mother star to pick him up quickly!We earthlings can't afford to provoke this kind of bug-level freak!

On the Internet, the newly popular Weibo is also a complete carnival.

A few days before the release, his Weibo had more than [-] posts every day, and the private messages in the mailbox were full and exploded. If this app did not use data compression technology, such a large amount of information would have been overwhelming for Zhu Zimo. The login might be paralyzed directly, and the little chrysanthemum must be stuck in ecstasy.

"It's so shocking! Oh my god, the shocking feeling of the fairy world! The movie is [-] times more exciting than the original! Zhu Zimo"

"The box office results are sky-high! There is also my contribution in it! Originally, I wanted to rent the disc to watch or wait for the online download, but people who watched it said that only in the cinema can I feel that way... I bought the ticket It’s really worth it! I’ve decided to do a second brush, is there any comrades with me? Remember to like it!”

More than 2 people liked this Weibo, and more than 1 people chose to forward it.

There are more than 5000 comments below, and most of them are saying——

"Blogger, you are so weak! I have already decided to do it for the third time, okay, is it okay to say it for the second time?"

"Love Director Zhu, love domestic production, that's how it is!"

"To be honest, I used to think that watching domestic movies was very low, and I never watched non-American blockbusters, but since I fell into the trap of director Zhu, American blockbusters are considered a bird? My brother Zhu dumped them! I didn't say anything, I want to Go to the second brush!"

"Well, although director Zhu is very good, he is the only Chinese director who can do it now. Now that I think about "Boundless" before, I still feel very embarrassed... When will other directors be able to compete? A flower blooming alone is not spring, a hundred flowers blooming together makes the garden full of spring!"

"I just want to say, if Director Zhu invests [-]-[-] million yuan, then it must be [-]-[-] million yuan in quality! Please don't pursue high investment for those who don't have these two brushes, okay? The movie has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, so I feel distressed, how the hell don’t take money as money! Wouldn’t it be good to learn from Ning Jie? Small cost can leverage big box office, this is a man!”

"By the way, I heard that the country will implement a movie rating system soon? Is it true? Then can we see some movies that 'adults' can watch in movie theaters?"

"I've heard that too! It's said that the review standards of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will be made transparent. This is a good thing!"

"Absolutely a good thing! Before, the SARFT was like a hypocritical girl waiting to be pursued by a group of boys, sitting there shyly, without saying a word, and let you guess! You said something that didn't suit your heart , all directly shot without discussion, the important thing is what kind of words will make her feel disgusted? No one knows! Now, no matter what, she is going out of her way, she wants a car, a house, or romance, you let those boys die You understand, you have accumulated great virtue!"

"If this incident is true, it gave me a very shocking inspiration-in this era, we assholes are not just at the mercy of others! How did this policy come about? Didn't we launch it? Public opinion is here, and even the central government must pay attention! Therefore, we must remember to speak out, and one day everything will become better..."

At the beginning, those replies were all about the second and third times of the movie, but the brains of the so-called netizens are always so trusting, and they completely digressed in a short while, diverging from Director Zhu's movie to a single flower. Not Chun, from how to make a new generation of directors grow up to the change of the review system, and later, I began to lament the bad habit of the domestic human society, which emphasizes seniority in everything.

"It should be meritocracy! All of them have to get qualifications! Even if you have real skills, you can't do things well if you have no hair on your mouth, so just sit on the sidelines! Later, if you are lucky, you will have a chance to get ahead. Luck Not good? I will keep you as a poor dick for the rest of my life! I didn’t say that, if this keeps happening, the problem of class solidification will definitely become more and more serious!”

"As a self-made five, although I don't want to admit it, but...well, this is the truth."

In fact, this kind of "experience" is the same in all fields.

For example, a university professor, do you want to evaluate the title?You must make up enough teaching years!How many papers have to be published abroad, and how many papers are published in China? It is precisely because of this that "academic weekly journals pay for their contributions" is so popular. Do you want to publish papers?Okay, bring the money, how much is a paper, and the price is clearly marked!

For example, the most serious Chinese medicine doctor, you have real skills, but you only look like you are in your thirties?Who believes you!However, the medical skills are not very good. It seems that there are 70-[-]-year-olds who are more popular. Depending on the age, patients will believe him even if they don’t say a word. Do you think you have a temper?

This is what all employers say when recruiting people - those with more than two years of work experience are preferred!

But if we all have two years of work experience, then where did our two years of work experience come from?This is a paradox!

Everyone knows that the entertainment industry is not easy to mix. You see, even the three major film academies recruit a few classes from all over the country every year, but in the end, only a few of each class can be popular, and the rest are all eliminated!Isn't this kind of fierce competition cruel?

But if you look at another class, you will know that these students who study acting are actually lucky.

The most difficult class is the director class!

No matter how good your grades are in school, who will use you after graduation?

Investors are waving money to find famous directors, you nameless guys, there is no guarantee of directing ability at all!Who is willing to spend at least a few million to test your talents!

"If only someone could fund me to make a movie..."
