Chapter 520 Is this a vaccination? (asking for monthly tickets)
Obviously, the influence of TV series and movies is different. At the same time, everyone is more concerned about the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday.
As I said before, this year's Lunar New Year box office is the most crowded one yet.
There are 10 movies in total.
Among these 10 films, three are animated films, one of which is a highly anticipated animated film called "Old Li Celebrates the New Year", which is adapted from the comic "Old Li". This comic was created in the 1930s and was very popular all over the country at that time.
The movie is an adult movie, or to be more precise, a satirical movie, which mainly tells the story of a small person named Lao Li, and is basically a unit drama.
Little people are both pitiful and sad. It is said that there must be something hateful about pitiful people, and there must be something sad about hateful people.
In short, Lao Li does not represent one person, but thousands and thousands of typical little people. These little people are sometimes bullied, but sometimes they bully others. Sometimes you find them annoying, and sometimes you even find them a little funny.
This is why the comic "Old Li" was so popular back then. You have to know that reading comics was quite good back then.
Over the years, not many people have developed the IP of "Old Li". After all, many people feel that times have changed and the comics of that time no longer have any influence.
Let me put it this way, currently most people read comics from Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. On the contrary, people read fewer domestic comics.
A few years ago, some people said that national comics were dead and domestic animated films were dead.
Under such circumstances, who would read comics from the last century?
For this reason, "Old Li's New Year" is something that many people are looking forward to. After all, this animated film is produced by "October Culture", which is currently regarded as a ray of light in the animated film industry.
However, some people in the industry are looking forward to the success of "Old Li's New Year", but on the other hand, everyone lacks confidence.
The same thing.
Can comics from the last century be liked by this century, especially by young people?
After all, the animation "Old Li Celebrates the New Year" is not aimed at young audiences.
Moreover, among the three animated films, "Old Li's New Year" is the only one aimed at adults, while the other two animated films are mainly family-friendly.
However, the share of the other two family-friendly movies is not small. On the contrary, the screening schedule of "Old Li Celebrates the New Year" may not be ideal by then.
Some people were slightly pessimistic and expressed the possibility that "Old Li's New Year" might end up being critically acclaimed but not commercially successful.
This is also normal.
The current film market is actually like this. Some bad movies may be able to make a lot of money, but some that look good, have good reputations, and even have good Douhu ratings may not be able to make a lot of money.
In short, no one can say for sure.
And when it comes to the box office, even veteran drivers may fail.
In this way, everyone knows why Yu Xiaoshu is so powerful now, and why the industry believes in him.
It is indeed rare to see someone like him making several films in a row.
However, in this year's Lunar New Year movie season, everyone will have to see how good Yu Xiaoshu is.
Although Yu Xiaoshu is currently the screenwriter of "The Wandering Earth", this is the current situation. Yu Xiaoshu is now nominally the person in charge of the film.
The film was a box office success, and Yu Xiaoshu was the main contributor.
But if the box office fails, Yu Xiaoshu will definitely be held primarily responsible.
This is actually a kind of recognition, but at the same time, it is also a kind of pressure.
That's right.
It’s you, Yu Xiaoshu. You, a screenwriter, have to carry the box office.
At present, in China, it cannot be said that there is no screenwriter who is responsible for the box office. People like Bai Suzhen, Mo Dao, Feng Tian, Guo Han and others are all like this.
But there is something different here.
That means Mo Dao, Feng Tian, Guo Han and the director.
They write and direct their own films.
As for Bai Suzhen and Yu Xiaoshu, they are similar in that they are both dedicated screenwriters, which is why everyone likes to compare the two.
Last time, Bai Suzhen's first mission drama "My Grandma" after returning to China ended in failure, and it was not just a simple failure, the TV series was even criticized by netizens.
Because Bai Suzhen completely follows the Western approach.
Anti-war, anti-war, damn it, the result is that the victims have to reflect.
What’s more important is that Bai Suzhen said in an interview before: The world is getting worse and worse, and each of us needs to reflect. As a Chinese, I have the obligation and responsibility to tell everyone that this is wrong.
Many people find this ridiculous.
Why do you always ask us Chinese to reflect?
What the hell is this?
The world is getting worse and worse, but it’s not China’s fault that the world is getting worse and worse.
Still anti-war? ?
I've really been brainwashed by the West.
Using the so-called ZZZQ of the West, and then thinking that they have seen through everything, while at the same time asking their own people to reflect? ?
Reflection ball? ?
Otherwise, many people are making jokes now. No matter what happens on the Internet, China will definitely be the biggest loser.
China will lose.
Hua Bi apologizes.
Hua must reflect.
Reflect on you MLGB.
This is because Bai Suzhen is still a woman, so people are embarrassed to say anything too extreme, otherwise, she would have insulted her.
Yu Xiaoshu actually understands Bai Suzhen. After all, Bai Suzhen was assimilated into Western thinking after going abroad.
As for the Internet, there is no need to say more.
Many people are extremely hypocritical. They think that for the same thing, if foreigners do it, it is right, but if Chinese do it, it is wrong.
For this reason, Yu Xiaoshu was too lazy to debate.
Many times, debating is of no use at all.
Of course, at this time, Yu Xiaoshu had not yet filmed "Wolf Warrior", which could cause PTSD in countless people.
You can say that.
If this movie, especially the two parts, were really made.
Then Yu Xiaoshu believed that the news would explode on the Internet.
No rush.
Take it one step at a time.
Nothing else to say.
Let’s just give everyone a brief refresher on “The Wandering Earth”.
Yu Xiaoshu is still confident in this regard.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, even though there are 10 movies during the Lunar New Year holiday, only five of them are truly competitive.
The first one is naturally Bai Suzhen's "Rescue of the Last Days".
It’s no wonder that he is my ex.
This movie "Rescue" is really a bit similar to "The Wandering Earth".
But what exactly happened?
Then it depends on each person's ability.
As for the second one, it is the comedy film "The Fairy Husband at Home" directed by Chen Yi. This can be regarded as a comedy fantasy film, and the cast is basically quite strong.
The third one is an old acquaintance, Guo Han's "One Life". It can be said that after Guo Han's previous work "Back to Boyhood" was withdrawn from the schedule and then released in the summer and earned 1 billion at the box office, Guo Han has regained his strength.
In his opinion, he had found the code to victory again.
That is literature and art.
Guo Han's advantage is literature and art.
So this time the movie "One Life" is going to be literary and artistic to the end, and even the promotion is basically the same, using all kinds of literary words.
Life on earth is basically just a constant stream of farewells.
Life is all about stopping and starting, just like a train heading to the destination. Some people get on, some people get off, and in the end, the only one who can accompany you to the end is you.
What? I will never let you down in this life.
In short.
This movie exudes an artistic style from its title to its trailer.
For literary and artistic young people, they think this movie is good.
Believe in Guo Han.
In addition to these three, the other two are also very powerful.
This will not be discussed here for now.
If you ask which one Yu Xiaoshu is particularly worried about, to be honest, there is none.
His only concern is whether "The Wandering Earth" can bear the burden.
Can this movie, which once created miracles on Earth, achieved a comeback, and opened a new chapter in science fiction, create miracles again in China? ?
Yu Xiaoshu didn't know.
Although he was worried, he was not anxious.
First of all, he believes that good movies are timeless and space-time-neutral. Secondly, even if "The Wandering Earth" flopped, it didn't matter, because this movie could summarize a lot of experience.
For this reason, in fact, no matter how intense the outside world creates for this year's Lunar New Year box office, or even if public opinion calls it a fight between gods, Yu Xiaoshu is extremely calm.
What is this???
Just be yourself.
Yu Xiaoshu was relatively low-key when attending the celebration banquet for "Mountains and Seas" today.
He knew that he was not the protagonist today. As I said before, Yu Xiaoshu was considered the protagonist by everyone. After all, all major media outlets wanted to interview him.
Now that there are only a few days left until the Lunar New Year holiday, the media are trying their best to dig up news. Besides, tomorrow is the preview of "The Wandering Earth".
So, what is bigger news than the interview with Yu Xiaoshu?
Interview with Yu Xiaoshu about his thoughts on "The Wandering Earth".
Interview with Yu Xiaoshu about his views on the box office of "The Wandering Earth".
In short, for media reporters, there is a lot of information that can be explored about Yu Xiaoshu.
What is the most critical thing???
The most important thing is that the current production cost of the movie "The Wandering Earth" is quite high. Although it has not been announced to the public, Yu Xiaoshu said before that the higher the production cost, the better.
Even Yu Xiaoshu shouted that there is no upper limit.
There is no upper limit.
Who dares to shout like that???
But Yu Xiaoshu dared to shout like that, and Yu Xiaoshu not only shouted like that, he even did it.
There is nothing much to say about the promotion of "The Wandering Earth".
On the one hand, Yu Xiaoshu can't be pretentious this time. He thinks that the more the better for publicity and promotion.
The more you smash, the better.
In fact, during the Spring Festival period, everything is often decided on the first day.
Unless it has an extremely good reputation, and then slowly achieves a comeback.
But to be honest, if this counterattack is really to be realized, it actually requires publicity and promotion costs.
Many times it's just a matter of one or two points.
For example, for example, the other party's publicity and promotion costs 200 million yuan, and yours costs 150 million yuan, which is considered a little different.
But if you don't have this 150 million, then to be honest, it would be impossible to truly achieve a comeback.
In this regard, Yu Xiaoshu is still clear.
At this time, it’s not a matter of worrying about money.
Before, Yu Xiaoshu was able to be as low-key as possible, and even carried out a confidential promotion for the movie, which directly aroused everyone's expectations.
But it only takes one time to use.
Because if something is used twice, there is no point, because the effect will definitely not be good.
Although Yu Xiaoshu has a calm attitude towards "The Wandering Earth", being calm does not mean doing nothing.
He can accept failure.
But this failure must be after he has done everything.
As the old saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to fate.
This is what Yu Xiaoshu is like now.
He did everything that needed to be done.
If he really fails, he will accept it.
This time, Yu Xiaoshu's idea of attending the celebration banquet of "Mountains and Seas" was similar to the previous ones, that is, he would just wait until the celebration banquet was over and then accept a few interviews.
The rest is not important.
Regarding the celebration banquet, let’s not talk about anything else.
As long as everyone is happy.
However, Yu Xiaoshu wanted to keep a low profile, but not to mention the media reporters, other people wouldn't agree either.
See, all the main creators of "Mountains and Seas" invited Yu Xiaoshu to the seat of honor, and not only that, they also let Yu Xiaoshu say a few words.
"Teacher Yu, please say a few words. The success of "Mountains and Seas" is really inseparable from your excellent script."
The producer said to Yu Xiaoshu with a smile at this time.
It's not just the producers, it's basically the same for everyone else.
Just let Yu Xiaoshu say a few words.
And another point is that everyone is really grateful to Yu Xiaoshu.
As we said before, Yu Xiaoshu is one of the few screenwriters who is responsible for his work.
Just think of it that way.
Some artists in the entertainment industry, how many of them are responsible???
None.
These artists basically have huge box office success, and it’s all because of them.
But if the box office fails, it has nothing to do with them.
As the No. 1, you are responsible for the box office.
But these people will do it if there are benefits, and will not fight for it if they feel there are no benefits.
In short, it’s still what Yu Xiaoshu said before.
Domestic entertainment is now a joke.
Since Yu Xiaoshu is asked to say a few words, then Yu Xiaoshu will say a few words.
He first told everyone that the success of "Mountains and Seas" was not just because of me, I don't have that much ability, and many people also have a misunderstanding that Yu Xiaoshu's scripts will never fail.
What I'm saying is this is bullshit.
Whether it's a movie or a TV series, it's all collective.
No matter how good a script is, it will fail if it cannot be filmed well.
So what's the use? ?
No matter how good a script is, if the actors are not good, if the lighting is not good, if the editing is not good, if every aspect is not good, then how can it be successful???
Does not exist.
Yu Xiaoshu said a few simple words.
To sum up, I hope everyone will respect creators, respect this industry, and I hope everyone will start with themselves.
Only this way.
Only then can we succeed together.
And if there ever comes a day when we fail, I hope we can all look for problems together instead of blaming each other.
