After the opening ceremony, the promotion of "Dying to Survive" also began.
In fact, many people are still not optimistic about it. Although movies and TV series are both in the film and television industry, there are actually huge differences between them.
However, Su Bai's image as if he had sucked something still made the audience curious about the movie.
For a time, supporters and opponents held different opinions on the Internet and argued fiercely.
Most people in the film industry actually look down on the television industry.
From the perspective of actors alone, the acting requirements for movie actors are much higher than those for TV actors.
A TV series is shot in dozens of episodes, so the details will not be too detailed.
But movies are different, they are basically only about 2 hours long, and Hollywood blockbusters are only about 2 and a half hours long.
To complete the narration of a story in 2 hours, the images must be detailed down to every frame.
What’s more important is that for investors, the difference between a good movie and a bad one is huge.
If a TV series has enough traffic stars and the like, even if the film is average, as long as TV stations and video websites buy it, investors are basically guaranteed to make money, it's just a matter of how much.
The investment in a movie may not necessarily be smaller than that in a TV series, but if the audience doesn’t buy it, you may lose all your money.
So Su Bai entered the film industry just because of the success of a TV series, and many directors in the industry sneered at him.
Especially that big director who relied on his father to make a great movie, and then his movies kept getting worse and worse.
According to insiders, the famous director criticized Su Bai at a private party, saying that "taking too big a step will definitely lead to failure", "rich kids who don't know their own limitations have unrealistic ambitions", etc.
I also despise Xu Shanzheng for acting in bad movies just to please capital.
The top directors and some super-a-list celebrities in the entertainment industry are basically a kind of capital themselves, so they don’t have the same awe for Su Bai as they do for small stars.
No matter how powerful Tianhua is, he can't cover everything with one hand. Those big directors naturally have their own connections and resources, and Su Bai can't do anything about them.
However, Su Bai did not take the director's words seriously. To be honest, in Su Bai's mind, this director was far inferior to other great directors of the same level. Not to mention the national master, even the little cannon was better than him.
The director's creative career reached its peak as soon as he debuted, and then continued to rise and fall.
This director from Blue Star has not yet made a film that relies on sentimentality to trick actors into doing it for free and make money from the audience.
So the combined box office revenue of more than 30 movies is less than 5 billion.
Su Bai’s ambition is that this first film can surpass the total box office of all his works.
The movie "Dying to Survive" did not have enough publicity and promotion power on Earth, and the number of screenings in the early stages was pitifully small. In the end, it still won a box office of 3 billion yuan in one fell swoop thanks to its reputation.
Now Su Bai is confident that he can do enough publicity and promotion on Blue Star and get enough screenings, especially since Su Bai himself has such a large amount of traffic. It is reasonable to set a target of 2 billion, right?
I'll just focus on developing myself now, and then I'll slap you in the face when the box office comes out!
I don't know what's so arrogant about a third-rate director who is forced to be praised as a big star.
Pooh!
...
The script reading went very smoothly. Su Bai didn't expect that these actors were so awesome!
Although none of them are big-name actors except Xu Shanzheng, their professionalism is unparalleled.
Moreover, Makino is extremely serious and responsible, which even makes Su Bai a little annoyed!
This stuff is too thin!
Very detailed!
To be honest, if it wasn't for the need to make a name for himself in the film industry, Su Bai would have wanted to give the director's throne to Makino.
With such an assistant director and this group of very dedicated actors, the bar for this movie has been raised very high.
The first scene that was officially filmed was the first meeting between Lu Shouyi, played by Su Bai, and Cheng Yong, played by Xu Shanzheng.
Cheng Yong had just been released from police after he beat up his ex-wife and her lawyer in a custody dispute.
I feel very irritable, but also a little helpless.
The ex-wife wanted to take the children and go abroad with her new boyfriend, but Cheng Yong refused to agree.
Driven by his male chauvinism, even though he knew that he couldn't even support himself, he could not accept letting his child go with his ex-wife and stepfather.
The owner of the small hotel brought a "friend" to see Cheng Yong today.
"First scene, first shot, hit the board, A!"
He hit the first board towards the camera and then retreated.
"Old Cheng!"
The owner of the small hotel pushed open the door of the "Indian God Oil" store and took Lu Shouyi into the store.
Lu Shouyi was wearing a worn plaid jacket and a pair of gray trousers that had been washed to a pale color, with a briefcase slung across his body.
Although the clothes were old, they were washed very clean.
He was wearing a very old white cotton mask that covered half of his face. The mask looked very thick, as if it was made of more than one layer.
Her hair is slightly oily and relatively long, combed into a side part.
He wore a pair of large metal-framed glasses.
Even people who are very familiar with Su Bai would find it difficult to recognize this person as Su Bai at first glance.
The handsome guy who used to be as strong as a calf is now so thin that he seems like he could be blown down by the wind!
He is very tall but has a hunched head and back. When you see him, you get a few feelings: cautious, humble, and poor.
Cheng Yong, with toothpaste foam still on his mouth, pulled open the curtain and walked out, his face full of impatience.
The owner of the small hotel said: "Come on, let me introduce you to our old neighbor. Our last name is Lu, and we are Lu Shouyi."
He pointed at Cheng Yong and said to Lu Shouyi, "Boss Cheng."
When Lu Shouyi saw Cheng Yong, he immediately lowered his head a little, took a few quick steps forward, extended his hand and said warmly to Cheng Yong, "Hello, hello."
