Chapter 454: Chick flick is out
Up to now, for Yu Xiaoshu, everything is actually going according to his plan.
That's enough.
Especially in the past year or so, Yu Xiaoshu has not been blindly moving the world's entertainment assets. He is looking for suitable ones, and sometimes Yu Xiaoshu will also let other screenwriters write scripts.
He only controls the general direction.
Anything produced by Baiqian must be of the highest quality.
If Xiaoshu takes action, it will definitely be a huge explosion.
Yu Xiaoshu did not take these 16 words to heart. It was not that he could not accept failure. In fact, if he was really lifted up by these 16 words, then to be honest, it would actually bind him.
Who dares to say with confidence that he or she will become a big hit?
Let’s not talk about the Yuan planet, just take the Earth as an example, how many directors have not made bad movies? ?
Not to mention the actors.
Traffic artists cannot carry the box office. As for those so-called artists who can carry the box office, it is often the case that after the box office is successful, their fans and publicity teams start to brag about them, but if the box office fails, they just pretend nothing happened.
We don't need to mention it deliberately. Just pick out a few box office successes and see if they have ever failed to carry a movie.
For this reason, Yu Xiaoshu has a clear understanding of this aspect.
Baiqian Media can fail, and so can Yu Xiaoshu. After all, sometimes a movie needs the right time, place, and people to become a big hit. The same movie might fail in a different environment.
Now, Yu Xiaoshu has almost finished writing the back part of the script for "Drawing Sword".
Everyone knows that only half of "Bright Sword" was actually filmed, because the later plot of "Bright Sword" was not filmed, such as the suicide of Zhao Gang and his wife, the suicide of Li Yunlong, the suicide of Tian Yu, and some other discussions.
The whole "Drawing Sword" is actually even heavier.
Think about it, when Li Yunlong and Tian Yu's father were discussing, some of the things Tian Yu's father said actually came true.
In fact, Yu Xiaoshu thought about whether to film it at the beginning, but when he was writing the script, he finally decided to give up.
Because from the perspective of a qualified TV series, if the second half of "Bright Sword" is filmed, think about it, in the end all the main characters die, what do you think of this? ?
Regarding "Drawing Sword", filming has actually already started in a low-key manner.
After all, this drama is going to be the opening drama of the Lunar New Year season. Not only has "Drawing Sword" started filming in a low-key manner, but the TV series starring Bai Suzhen, Xiao Liang, and Fang Xi have also started filming.
The platforms for these four dramas had already been determined before filming began.
And unlike other dramas where two TV stations broadcast the show, this time one drama is broadcast on one satellite TV station.
After all, it is a mission drama, so other TV stations have already made arrangements.
The happiest among them was the Imperial Capital Television.
Because Didu TV will exclusively broadcast "Drawing Sword".
As a first-tier satellite TV station, in fact, the ratings of Didu TV in recent years are not very good. Well, it cannot be said to be bad, it is quite rubbish. Many people even call Didu TV a fake first-tier TV station. Even because of the rise of Qidong TV, many people think that Qidong TV should just be regarded as a first-tier TV station.
But other TV stations all know that the rise of Qidong Satellite TV is thanks to Yu Xiaoshu. If there was no Yu Xiaoshu, Qidong Satellite TV would not be in the mainstream now.
Think about it, if "Soldier Assault" was not broadcast on Qidong TV, what would Qidong TV become? ?
Then, after Qidong TV repurchased the two TV series "Sweeping Black Storm" and "In the Name of People", what happened to the ratings of Qidong TV? ?
In particular, "In the Name of People" set an unattainable record on Qidong TV.
This cannot be said to have anything to do with Yu Xiaoshu. It is all due to Yu Xiaoshu's script.
This time, because it is a mission drama, "Drawing Sword" was chosen to be broadcast on the Capital TV. How could the Capital TV not be excited?
It was even announced a week ago.
Of course, due to the recent popularity of "Lost in Thailand", this topic is not widely discussed.
At that time, everyone was trying to see if "Lost in Thailand" could create the next record.
It's not just the film industry, and it's not even just the TV drama industry. It can be said that even passers-by are breaking the records of "Lost in Thailand" because everyone is waiting for the record of "Lost in Thailand".
The herd effect can be said to be fully utilized.
But now it’s different.
It can be said that the dust has almost settled on "Lost in Thailand".
As of today, October 22, the total box office of "Lost in Thailand" has reached 4.15 billion.
If the current pace continues, it will be difficult for "Lost in Thailand" to reach 4.5 billion in the end.
After all, the single-day box office has dropped to 4 million. Yesterday, the day of the celebration banquet, there were several new films released, which can be said to have taken away most of the screening schedule.
Currently, the screening schedule of "Lost in Thailand" has dropped to 5%. It can be said that the weekly box office is maintained at around 20 million, which is not a small amount, but it is almost impossible to reach 4.5 billion.
But this result has already set a box office record for Chinese films.
The two movies "Lost in Thailand" and "I Really Came Across Time" released this National Day are enough to make the industry reflect.
You should know that "I Really Came from Another World" finally grossed 870 million yuan at the box office.
"I Really Came from Another World", a movie with a production cost of only tens of millions and almost zero publicity and promotion costs, has grossed 870 million yuan at the box office.
Who wouldn’t be jealous?
When "Lost on Journey" took in nearly 2 billion yuan at the box office during the Spring Festival last year, everyone was jealous and almost went crazy. Then a bunch of copycat films were made, but they all flopped.
At that time, Yu Xiaoshu said, "Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die."
In fact, many people do not agree with these eight words. As a result, they are just following the trend. Or it can’t be called following the trend because it is plagiarism, and then all of them failed.
After five works that copied "Lost on Journey" were released, three of them failed, and two of them still failed even after being broadcast online, everyone believed it.
Then came the huge success of Lost in Thailand, which no one can deny.
After all, who made "Lost in Thailand" the work of Yu Xiaoshu?
However, "Lost in Thailand" directly broke the record of Mandarin box office and directly defeated a number of foreign blockbusters this year, so it was quite a success.
In short, the success of Lost in Thailand has made many people start to think about it carefully.
The reason is actually very simple.
Then just write a better script. If the script is good, even low-budget audiences will buy it.
And you don’t need to worry about other blockbusters taking away your market share. On the contrary, other blockbusters may help you expand your capacity.
For example, this is the case with the movie "I Really Came Across Time". If "Lost in Thailand" hadn't helped expand the scale, then I'm afraid this movie would not have such a high box office.
In fact, many people said that during the National Day holiday, "I Really Came from Another World" really took advantage of the situation.
In fact, not only "I Really Came from the Past" took a big advantage, but "One Man's Revenge" also took a huge advantage.
You should know that the total box office of "One Man's Revenge" is as high as 1.4 billion. Originally, "One Man's Revenge" might have stopped at 1.1 billion. After all, Jiang He is still very capable. The box office she alone must have reduced "One Man's Revenge" by at least 300 million.
Yes.
Everyone initially predicted that Jiang He could cause "One Man's Revenge" to lose at least 200 million yuan, but no one expected that everyone still underestimated the suicidal nature of Jiang He's fans.
Even 300 million is considered low.
For many people, no one expected that Jiang He's fans would do this. It can be said that her fans almost ruined "One Man's Revenge" with their own efforts.
Fortunately.
Fortunately, there is "Lost in Thailand".
Just look at this. At the celebration party for "A Man's Revenge", Wang Ze directly thanked "Lost in Thailand" during an interview.
"Thanks to Lost in Thailand, I think not only I should thank it, but all Chinese-language films in the future should thank Lost in Thailand, because Lost in Thailand brought some audiences who didn't watch movies into the cinema. And since these people went to the cinema during the National Day, they couldn't just watch one movie. As a result, our movie's box office also rose slightly because of Lost in Thailand."
Wang Ze said to the media with a bit of sincerity: "I have always felt that there is no competition in the film market. On the contrary, we should work together to expand the film market, because I think our domestic film market still has a lot of room for development."
Good job.
Wang Ze is indeed an open-minded person.
In fact, it's not just Wang Ze. The previous box office record holder "Xia Ke" had also made a congratulatory poster a long time ago, congratulating "Lost in Thailand" for reaching the top of the box office.
In short, although the competition in the domestic film industry is sometimes quite fierce, filmmakers are still united most of the time.
Because except for very few cases where people are confused, most people understand that the market is huge, and only when the market becomes bigger can everyone benefit more.
That's exactly the case. Talking about other things or talking about other things actually doesn't make much sense.
This will only work if we all expand capacity together.
Wang Ze is a smart man, and the entertainment industry is not short of smart people.
Now, when Lost in Thailand successfully broke 4 billion and a celebration banquet was held, other directors and screenwriters basically congratulated the film.
Especially some actors, they want to take advantage of the popularity.
To be precise, these actors sincerely hope that Yu Xiaoshu can give them a chance.
But there is no way.
Go queue up.
Not only the actors, but the director as well has to keep waiting.
For this reason, Li Zijing joined Baiqian Media because he truly felt that this was his opportunity.
Thinking of what Sun Qi and Zhang Yiwei said, Li Zijing believed that he would not regret it.
You will regret it if you continue to stay in Yuexing Media.
As for joining Baiqian Media, he will not regret it.
He felt that this might be the best choice for him.
"What are your plans??"
Baiqian Media, Yu Xiaoshu's office, Li Zijing was slightly stunned by what Yu Xiaoshu said: "Teacher Yu, what do you mean?"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "What I mean is very simple. What kind of movie do you want to shoot next? And do you have any plans for the future?"
After all, Yu Xiaoshu didn't know much about Li Zijing, or to be more precise, he didn't know what Li Zijing was good at.
This model of "I Really Came from Another World" is far from enough.
But Yu Xiaoshu was not in a hurry and could have a good chat with Li Zijing.
Let's see what he thinks first.
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Li Zijing who seemed a little confused, and couldn't help but shook his head slightly and continued, "Don't worry, just tell me what you want to do. After all, we don't know each other yet. No matter what kind of film you want to make, any film is fine..."
At this point, Yu Xiaoshu looked at Li Zijing and said, "Don't worry, I'm good at all types."
Li Zijing was indeed shocked.
People outside say that Mr. Yu is overconfident, but to be honest, Yu Xiaoshu actually has the capital to be confident.
That's right.
Simply put, the capital is there.
Who in the entire Yuanxing dares to say that he is good at all types? ? ?
But Yu Xiaoshu dared to say that.
The most important thing is that Yu Xiaoshu actually did it.
Take a look.
This is a little bit different.
It's simply amazing.
kindness.
It was really awesome.
Li Zijing thought for a while and said to Yu Xiaoshu, "Teacher Yu, it's like this. I think I'm still suitable for this kind of love movie. Of course, it would be better if I could go against the routine a little bit. The most important thing is that I think I'm still a newcomer, so I'll just shoot some small-scale and low-cost movies. The success of this movie is too accidental. I don't think the next one will be so good."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded secretly after hearing these words. Apart from anything else, Li Zijing was still relatively clear-headed now.
This is rare.
Because many people often say that if they succeed, they will definitely be able to remain calm, but those who say these things have never succeeded.
And if they succeed, it will be difficult for these people to keep their original intentions.
Yu Xiaoshu has actually seen this a lot.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoshu knew what was suitable for Li Zijing.
Chick flick.
Chick flicks, also known as women's movies, are romantic and lighthearted movies that are mostly centered on female characters, with male characters playing supporting roles. These movies are more fashionable, with urban romance as the theme, and usually start with the heroine being down and out, then winning the man's heart through self-confidence and independence, with the most desirable happy ending.
In fact, the real first chick flick on earth should be "Perfect." Of course, the cast of this movie is still quite strong. What can I say? Forget it, let's not talk about it.
As for the movie that really pioneered the chick flick, referring to the mainland here, it should be "Love Is Not Blind".
