A different director [entertainment circle]

It's hard to describe the sensation on the Internet after Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang announced on the program "Friends Come as Guest" that they are about to come back and plan to shoot a movie.

Countless groups of chat software have been beeping since eight o'clock.Movie fans and fellow fans also contacted their friends one after another.

"Get up quickly, Director Qin/Xiao Beiyang has cheated on the corpse!", "If you miss tonight, you will miss the world!"... The entire Internet applauded.

Now that "Friends Come to Be a Guest" has finished playing, everyone has gradually returned to their senses, and they have begun to discuss the various news revealed in this episode of the program.

Of course, everyone is most concerned about the new movie Qin Yan mentioned.

Although Qin Yan didn't specify the subject and genre of the film, let alone the audition and release, all the fans who couldn't stand Qin Yan were Sherlock Holmes reincarnated.Back then, the travel routes of Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang could be speculated by movie fans, and this time the movie is also no problem.

"Conjectures about the Theme of Qin Dao's New Movie" has become the most popular article in the forum, and the number of replies has exceeded a thousand, and it is still increasing.

"Director Qin just mentioned that Xiao Beiyang helped him write biographies for the characters, which proves that there must be a role of 'Soldier on the Frontier' in the movie."

"Furthermore, Director Qin wrote out all the questions at once when he came up with the exam questions, and none of them are common questions that are usually performed without physical objects. They don't think about it and the speed is too fast."

"I made a bold guess. This time, director Qin gave Xu Linmo and the others the titles that would appear in the movie. Even if you take a step back, 'Soldiers on the Frontier' can prove that this is definitely an ancient Chinese movie. I’m so excited to think of a movie with the same theme.”

"Furthermore, Director Qin said that Mr. Xie was acting according to the script and biography, which also proves that the plot he showed is consistent with the plot of the movie."

"Comrades! Do you know what this means? It means that this is a movie with war! There are grand scenes!"

The host of the post is full of expectations for Qin Yan's movie.

"Didn't someone have been questioning that Qin Yan couldn't make a commercial film of Huaguo culture before? I especially hope that Director Qin can slap his face this time."

"I really want to watch 3D movies! Don't talk about 3D movies. In the past three years without Director Qin, are there any movies with special effects in China?"

"Forget it, even if Qin Yan really wants to make a movie of Huaguo culture, it is absolutely impossible to be a special effects movie. Look at the production cost of the previous "Earth Fortress"? The special effects movies of Huaguo culture can go international Is it the film industry?"

"Even if Qin Yan is given a box office of more than 10 billion in China, then Qin Yan will have at most 3 million for filming. Special effects movies are still possible, let's forget about 3D movies."

These words are very sharp, but it does speak to some pain points in the minds of the Huaguo Film Industry and movie audiences—compared with the big international film business movies, the films of Huaguo Culture are indeed lacking in competitiveness.

This means that the production costs of all films will be capped at the domestic box office market.

Do Chinese forums envy the technology of "Avatar" from the previous year?envious.When I inquired, it cost 2.3 million U.S. dollars.All the restlessness in my heart disappeared in an instant.

From the perspective of these established film and television companies, the Chinese film market absolutely does not support the production of top-level special effects movies, and the approval of special effects movies is almost zero.

There are also many excellent science fiction novels in Chinese, and at the same time, Huaguo also has enough wonderful history and culture, myths and legends, and there is no shortage of fantasy works in the new era. Why has there never been a special effects movie based entirely on Huaguo? To put it bluntly, it is a film and television company. , The capital did not think this would be a profitable project at all.

In fact, this is also a helpless thing. Foreign countries are not very interested in Huaguo's culture. Coupled with the weakness of film technology, there is really no way to compete with Hollywood films in terms of quality.

Including until now, everyone feels more and more that the previous "Fortress Earth" trilogy can achieve such amazing results, it is really just an accidental accident.

"Yes, I think you should not overestimate the international influence of Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang. To be honest, those are the successes of the "Earth Fortress" trilogy, all of which are given to Qin Yan by the original IP. Without the blessing of such internationally influential works, Qin Yan would be nothing."

"That's all I'm going to say here. Qin Yan only dares to earn money by making movies in China. Even 3D movies must be fake 3D."

When several 3D movies were not profitable, many domestic movies even used the slogan of 3D, and then cut corners in the production process, and a large number of so-called "pseudo 3D" movies appeared.

The entire Chinese-language film market suddenly presents a morbid state of 3D for 3D, and audiences often enter the cinema because of 3D gimmicks, and finally leave disappointed.

At the beginning, they were bragging about Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang crazily, but soon the voices of support gradually weakened, and everyone was a little scared.

Because the opposition is not unreasonable, they are especially afraid of praising a person too much, and then being disappointed.

At this time, some people have moved relevant discussions from other countries' networks back to the domestic platform.

Who would have thought that Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's new movie has already been uploaded on major online platforms around the world?

Although on these platforms, searches related to Qin Yan and new movies did not appear on the homepage, but they were also on the [-]th and [-]th positions.

Considering that Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang are only from China, and they haven't quit the work in the past two or three years, the degree of discussion is enough to surprise everyone.

"Could it be that director Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang are going to make a new movie soon? I'm really looking forward to it." ——From Lighthouse Country

"I'm so envious of the movie fans in Huaguo now, they can get the first-hand information about Qin Yan!" - from Buluoguo.

"Oh my God. Is there a subtitle group in Chinese that can help us translate variety shows in Huaguo." ——From Kimchi Country

"I haven't seen a Chinese movie that has a particularly deep memory in the past few years. Come to a good Chinese movie and let me know more about Chinese culture." ——From Curry Country

"I did a search just now, and I found out that the two of them have been on hiatus for three years, and this return will definitely bring special important works." ——From Wool Country

The expectations of foreign netizens for Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang are actually higher than those of Huaguo movie fans. They have no doubt that their new movie can set off a new storm around the world.

Domestic movie fans suddenly feel a little guilty, they don't believe in their idols enough!With these voices of support from overseas, all doubts about Qin Yan disappeared in an instant.

This is still a kind of cultural lack of self-confidence, which requires the judgment of others to affirm one's own value, and the dominant power of evaluation is still in the hands of the West.

But cultural self-confidence has never been something that can be achieved with words, it can only be accumulated through cultural victories time after time.

And Qin Yan is undoubtedly the most successful director who has promoted Chinese culture to the world. Everyone is inexplicably expecting that Qin Yan's film works will be successful again this time.

Of course, no matter how intense the online discussion is, it is the people in the industry who can really reflect Qin Yan's influence.

Many actors were already asleep, or enjoying their wonderful Friday night, when they suddenly received a call from their agent.

Especially the managers of the young actors are going crazy, they all know that Qin Yan's movies have always given opportunities to many young actors.

For example, Fan Junchen in "A Friend Comes as a Guest" has already got the chance to audition. Even if he is not the protagonist, as long as he can have an excellent supporting role, it will be a chance to skyrocket.

And those actors who have struggled in TV dramas for many years, who doesn't want to quickly move from the TV screen to the big screen?

"Brother, why are you calling me in the middle of the night! I finally fell asleep."

Of course, there are also some actors who have only debuted in the past two years. They don't have a special understanding of Qin Yan's star-making ability. They said, is it really so important for Qin Yan to be a director and make a movie?

Their manager directly cursed: "You don't know anything about Director Qin Yan's strength. As long as you can get his role, your value will be doubled next time!"

Worth!pay!This is the foundation of every actor's survival.

"Then can you help me get a role?" The hearts of those young actors became hot, but their rhetorical questions made the agents fall silent.

Looking for a role from Qin Yan, you think I am Xie Beiyang!Still think of me as Xi Qianqian!

The agents were too excited to contact their own actors first.After hanging up the phone, the brokers immediately started looking for contact information.If you don't get a role, at least you need an audition opportunity!

There are too many people who are excited this time, and there are even some first- and second-tier actors among them. Many people directly call Qin Yan, or Ding Chang, the powerful senior executives of Huayan Company——

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been switched off."

It is obvious that these high-level executives had expected it a long time ago, and chose to escape directly by shutting down.

And the brokers who have worked so hard to find a relationship, all yelled:

"You people just released the news, and then disappeared suddenly, what are you going to do?"

In fact, apart from Ding Chang, few people knew about Qin Yan's movie project.It's just that when they heard that their boss was going to be on TV, they already had expectations in their hearts——

Hehe, you are going to do something big again, right?

After asking Qin Yan and knowing that there is no need to respond to the outside world for the time being, these high-level executives chose to turn off their phones directly. As long as you can't find me, I won't have a headache.

In fact, it is not easy for them. Most of the current Huayan executives have experienced the internal cleansing of the company a few years ago. They know that Qin Yan is an uncompromising director, and they don't want to interfere with the movie script and characters.

Although the netizens and actors are very happy, not everyone is happy to see Qin Yan set off another wave, and they don't want Qin Yan's movie to get such exaggerated attention now.

They really didn't want to go back to the era when Qin Yan ruled the movie schedule, so they all started to control the speech on the Internet.

Many people have begun to describe Qin Yan's previous achievements as dividends of the times. If Qin Yan's movies are put into the present, there is nothing to brag about at all.

These people are also very smart. They directly took out the clips of "Ancient House" and "Laughing Jianghu" filmed in 03 and 04, and compared them with recent movies.No matter how much Qin Yan pursued the quality of the movie when he was making the movie, the gap between the props and the photography still couldn't be bridged.

"Virgin//Virgo who was once popular all over the world, that's it?"

"Comparison of martial arts works, "Laughing Jianghu" vs "Disarmed and Returned""

Moreover, they did not compare all the films, but carefully selected some film pairs.Blinding one's eyes and taking meaning out of context are also their favorite means of manipulating public opinion.

But the fans of Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang were not happy about this. They directly compared the movies that Qin Yan had made, and even directly removed the harsh words:

"Among the domestic films in the past few years, which films can surpass Qin Yan's "Earth Fortress" series?"

"Don't talk about the plot, just talk about special effects, which commercial movie in Huaguo dares to spend so much money?"

"You want to compare martial arts movies, right? Come on, watch the long shot of "Laughing Jianghu"."

Both special effects and long shots are solid evidence, as long as the audience is not blind, they can make their own judgments.

The employees of some film and television companies worked so hard to manipulate public opinion, but Qin Yan didn't make any moves at all, and was directly killed by their fans. The anger in their hearts can be imagined.

They also want to have a group of fans who are so loyal and powerful!I don't know what ecstasy Qin Yan gave these fans to make them so loyal.

If Qin Yan knew what these people were thinking, he would be angry even with his self-cultivation.

It is true that he has many supporters, but Qin Yan has worked hard for so long, and he has always guided everyone to speak with his works instead of superstitiously believing in him as a director.As long as these film companies have a movie that can surpass Qin Yan, they will not be so passive and fearful.

Of all the companies, the most angry and also the most timid is Dianjinmeng.

Not only because of the conflict between Dian Jinmeng and Qin Yan, but also because Dianjinmeng's movie "Prowler" with a huge investment happened to be released on Sunday.

The film invested 6 million yuan, of which 4 million yuan was used to invite first-line stars and actors at home and abroad.

"The Prowler" gathered these actors into the film and divided them into several units for shooting. The slogan is "four intertwined stories".

In fact, Dianjinmeng's approach is very smart, and the goal is also very clear - to make money from the traffic of actors.

As long as there are enough stars and actors and the number of fans is large enough, the movie can easily pay back.As for whether there is any problem with the intermediate salary, it is not enough for outsiders to know.

In order to ensure the success of "Prowler", Dianjinmeng invested tens of millions of publicity funds, and "Prowler" can be seen everywhere on the subway, the Internet, variety shows, newspapers and periodicals.

Dian Jinmeng's dedication has indeed had an effect. Before the broadcast of this issue of "Friends Come as a Guest", "Prowler" has always been a resident hot search.

As long as the propaganda channel can be mastered, the audience will be forced to brainwash, and there is nowhere to escape.

However, the publicity atmosphere that Dianjinmeng spent tens of millions to create was instantly broken by Qin Yan. Now that Qin Yan and the new movie are being discussed on the Internet, who still pays attention to "Prowler"?

Jiang Deshan, the boss of Click Dream Company, is losing his temper in the office now. He didn't expect to meet Qin Yan's comeback before the movie was released.

And now some people on the Internet have begun to discuss the entanglement between Qin Yan and Dian Jinmeng. Many people have been attracted by these gossips, causing them to begin to doubt "Prowler".

"Hasn't Golden Dream Company always been famous for its bad movies?"

"It shouldn't happen this time. After all, we have invited so many famous actors and famous directors."

"With a production cost of 6 million yuan, you can make a good special effects movie. From the perspective of the promotional film, it turned out to be a funny commercial movie. I'm a little worried now."

"I decided to wait for the first batch of movie reviews to come out, and then wait for the ratings of Weird Beans."

The public relations department of Dianjinmeng is in a state of distress, they never thought that Qin Yan would directly destroy their campaign.

"The Prowler" officially premiered on Sunday morning. At twelve o'clock, the first batch of viewers walked out of the cinema after watching the movie. They had already left their comments on the movie in various media."Prowler" is being discussed on QQ, WeChat, Weibo, and Weiweidou.

As Dianjinmeng Company wished, "Prowler" rushed to the hot search list again, but the keywords did not meet their expectations.

"The Prowler is a mess"

"Is this the actor's acting skills?"

"[-] million investment or [-] investment"

To sum it up in one word - rotten.

Now there are endless criticisms of "The Prowler" on the Internet, even if it is dressed in the skin of a famous director and actor, it is still a bad movie.

Although Dianjinmeng Company hated Qin Yan very much, they had to sell tickets on Weiweidou.Otherwise, the major theater companies would not agree to the box office share ratio of Golden Dream Company.You must know that Weiweidou is now the well-deserved No. 34 online sales platform, accounting for [-]% of sales in the sales market.

Of course, Weird Beans will not disappoint Jiang Deshan. It immediately released the audience rating of "Prowler".

I have to say that the publicity of "Prowler" is too strong. The pre-sale alone has reached 5000 million, and the film opening rate and attendance rate are quite amazing.

This also means that a large number of viewers watched "The Prowler" in the first place, at 2 o'clock at noon, and it was screened for four hours——

2400 people rated it, and the movie score was directly set at 6.2 points.

The first audience is often the most diehard fans of film actors and directors, and the ratings will be relatively tolerant, so the rating curve of most movies is gradually declining.

This almost means that the final score of "Prowler" will definitely fall below 6.0 and directly enter the field of bad movies.

The Propaganda Department of Golden Dream Company has completely collapsed now, and they can't just watch the movie slide like this.

As for contacting Weiweidou to give them a special preferential treatment, and running in front of the enemy to humiliate themselves?Not to mention whether Strange Flavored Beans agreed or not, with Jiang Deshan's temper, he must have fired them immediately.

Jiang Deshan didn't know how many things he dropped in the past few days. He just dropped a computer monitor:

"I think Qin Yan is aiming at us. Whenever he can't be on variety shows, he has to be at this time, and he has to announce his new movie plan."

The secretary at the side immediately comforted and said: "This must be just a coincidence, boss, don't be too angry, you should think about how to save the current reputation."

In fact, Jiang Deshan also felt that he was speaking out of anger. It had been three years since the incident, and Huayan Company had countless opportunities to have friction with him during the period, but they did not act, as if they had completely forgotten the previous incident.

But this time he was really wrong. If there was no "Friends Come to Be a Guest", Qin Yan would most likely choose the variety show broadcast in the last week, or announce their plans for a comeback and a new movie in other ways.

In the past three years, Qin Yan has not forgotten what Dianjinmeng company did to him.Qin Yan has been thinking about how to fight back against Jin Meng.

In fact, Qin Yan doesn't hold grudges against Dian Jin Meng, and he doesn't even have much hatred and pain in his heart. Revenge against Dian Jin Meng and "The Prowler" is like a matter of course that rains when thunder strikes, and umbrellas when it rains. .

Before the release time of "Houyi", Huayan Company also considered whether to let "Houyi" directly collide with Dianjinmeng's "Prowler".

Based on the internal evaluation of "Houyi" in Huayan Company at that time, they were very convinced that "Houyi" could easily defeat "Prowler".

In the end the plan was shelved.

On the one hand, Dianjinmeng Company is very smart. They have never underestimated Qin Yan and Huayan Company. They have never announced the release time of "Prowler", trying their best to avoid the problem of schedule collision.

On the other hand, this is also Qin Yan's final decision.He doesn't want his younger generation to avenge him, it seems that he is quite old.

After going back and forth, Dianjinmeng Company knew that Huayan Company had no movies released recently, so it dared to promote "Prowler" with such a big fanfare.

It's true that Hua Yan didn't have any works to snipe "The Prowler", but this didn't prevent Qin Yan from making a move.

The easiest way to do this is to recall his horror, recalling that movies should win on quality.

Qin Yan directly listed all the movies of Huayan and Dianjinmeng Company, and put them on the homepage of Weiweidou and Waterdrop Video.

Being able to watch a movie with just a little hand is not only hurtful, but also extremely insulting.

As for the final result, it is self-evident.

So Dianjinmeng immediately contacted the actors of "Prowler".

You must know that the entire "Prowler" has an investment of 6 million yuan, of which 3 million yuan is spent on the actors' remuneration, which is far more than the proportion of a normal movie's remuneration. The contract clearly requires that the actors must cooperate with the promotion of the whole movie .

Moreover, another selling point of "Prowler" is that it invited many particularly famous seniors in the circle.For example, the best director of Cannes once served as the film producer, and the actor who won the best actor of Cannes took the leading role.

These actors and producers are the golden signs of "Prowler".

At the same time, the executives of the entire Dianjinmeng company also began to ask their good friends to help forward it in the circle.

Director of "The Prowler": I think "The Prowler" is a movie with special connotations. It requires the audience to spend their time reading and understanding it. It is definitely not a simple commercial movie.I love The Prowler.

Producer of "The Prowler": The world is so big, the movie is so wide, there is more than one kind of movie?For "Prowler", I just want to say: I like it

XX actor: I like it too: Transferred from director XX.

And the three words "I like" immediately became the champion of Weibo's hot search.
