Chapter 466 Another Chick Movie
The power of role models is infinite.
Because of the small-scale success of "Lost on Journey", many people at that time thought that this movie was a miracle, but it must be said that more people still felt that the script was less than the special effects.
Only big productions, great special effects, and blockbusters are the most important.
But after the release of "Lost in Thailand", everyone felt that everything had changed a little.
It is amazing that a movie like "Lost in Thailand" could bring in such a high box office, and the issue of script being king began to be discussed by everyone.
Not to mention that Li Zijing's first film set a new record.
A low-budget movie can actually achieve such a high box office, what does this mean? ?
This proves that script is king is truly useful.
Or you could say that.
Because of the good performance of these movies, everyone has expressed their confidence that the script is king.
What’s more, the movie “Love Is Not Blind” created such a miracle, which really made many people unbelievable, because everyone thought how could such a movie like “Love Is Not Blind” be successful? ?
However, "Love Is Not Blind" has achieved such a result. At present, the box office of "Love Is Not Blind" has won more than 700 million yuan, and if there are no accidents, the final box office of this movie may even reach 1 billion.
A movie that was made in such a hurry, a movie that only took half a month to shoot, but it was just this movie that managed to achieve such a high box office.
Tell me, do you accept it or not?
Many people analyze it over and over again, and although there are all kinds of opinions, in the end everyone still only looks at the results.
The result was that "Love Is Not Blind" was a huge success.
The box office of nearly 800 million in these 10 days can be said to be another miracle, and more importantly, the return on investment for such a low-cost movie is too high.
That's exactly why many film and television companies began to invest some resources in this field.
The reason is simple, because everyone feels that low-budget movies can now get box office success, and more importantly, "script is king" is recognized by everyone.
Just imagine, under the situation where 'script is king', no matter whether it is "Lost in Journey", "Lost in Thailand", "I Really Came Across the World" or "Love Is Not Blind", the box office of each of these movies can be regarded as a high return.
And through all of this we can discover one thing, that is, the script is king and can bring high returns.
Of course, film and television companies are all pursuing high returns. For them, if there are high returns, then of course they will pursue them.
As a result, major film and television companies have begun to buy scripts.
No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.
Therefore, when many film and television companies start to actually purchase scripts, they do not just blindly look for big screenwriters, because many big screenwriters are actually no longer good. They are either out of date or their grasp of the market is not accurate.
In this way, we can basically say that as long as you have the ability, you can make a name for yourself in the screenwriting industry.
So, at the moment, the screenwriter community can be said to be half and half towards Yu Xiaoshu.
Simply put, it can also be called polarized evaluation.
On the one hand, some screenwriters at the lower level or those who are capable but unsuccessful are very grateful to Yu Xiaoshu. Because of Yu Xiaoshu, these screenwriters have truly gotten some opportunities.
On the other hand, some screenwriters used to be able to make some money by relying on ghostwriters, and could even make a living just by using their connections. But now it is completely impossible because Yu Xiaoshu has set new rules for screenwriters.
It's very simple.
That means the capable ones will be promoted.
As long as you have the ability and as long as the script you write is good, you can succeed.
On the contrary, if you don’t have the ability, or if you used to have the ability but are no longer able to do it, then you will be unable to do anything.
Because the era of living off past achievements is gone forever.
The success of "Love Is Not Blind" really sets a new example for "script is king".
As for Li Zijing, he successfully proved himself as a director once again with "Love Is Not Blind".
Of course, Love Is Not Blind is the definition of 'chick flick'.
Now the promotion of "Love Is Not Blind" still needs to continue, but to be honest, it will only take this week. After all, other new movies should be released in a week.
But no matter what, "Love Is Not Blind" has accomplished its mission.
On Douhu, after the celebration of "Love Is Not Blind" today, Su Qing finally posted a film review.
Again, Jida may be late, but he will never be absent.
The film reviews written by Su Qing are also relatively rational.
She believes that the box office success of Love Is Not Blind is also unrepeatable, because for Love Is Not Blind, this movie took advantage of the Double 11 shopping festival and was also well promoted.
It can be said that with the added bonus of Double 11 and publicity, Love Is Not Blind may be able to increase its box office by around 400 million yuan.
But even so, "Love Is Not Blind" is still quite good even without the box office bonus.
That's why Su Qing thinks that everyone can make chick flicks in the future, but there is one thing, that is, you must stay calm, because even if Yu Xiaoshu writes another script himself, it may not be able to surpass the box office of "Love Is Not Blind".
In this case, can you guarantee that the box office of those who follow suit will exceed 1 billion? ?
kindness.
Su Qing already believes that there will be no problem for Love Is Not Blind to break 1 billion at the box office. Even if there are new films coming up, Su Qing feels that Love Is Not Blind will still be quite competitive.
Many people think that Su Qing’s point of view is very correct.
"Ji Da, you are right, this is indeed the case."
"That's right. I say the same thing again. Please be careful with Yu Xiaoshu's works, because it's not easy to follow the trend."
"That's right. Think about how Lost on Journey died because it copied the trend. In the end, only Lost in Thailand could become a big hit, because Yu Xiaoshu's works are prone to fail because they copy the trend."
"Yes, I also think there is a lot of room for chick flicks, but I also say the same thing, which is that I hope everyone will stay calm and not do it lightly."
"Again, don't go from one extreme to another. There's really no need for that."
…
For a while, many people on Douhu were frantically swiping the screen.
We all actually thought the same thing.
Yu Xiaoshu once said that we should not follow his lead easily, and Ji Da, who knows Yu Xiaoshu best on Douhu, has also made such a call. So the question is, what will everyone choose? ?
People never learn any lessons.
Obviously, no one will forget the lesson learned before.
At this time, everyone is thinking about continuing to follow the trend. The market for chick flicks is huge. If this is the case, then of course we should get in sooner rather than later.
In the blink of an eye, "Love Is Not Blind" has been online for 25 days. Basically, the box office of "Love Is Not Blind" has been fixed at more than 900 million yuan.
It is indeed as everyone said, even if there is a new film coming up, "Love Is Not Blind" is still very competitive. Basically, the single-day box office of "Love Is Not Blind" is still around 20 million.
And with the release of some blockbusters in December, "Love Is Not Blind" is basically the same.
The "almost" here does not mean that "Love Is Not Blind" has no box office, but it means that the single-day box office may not be too much, but it does not mean that there is no box office.
As for the celebration banquet for "Love Is Not Blind", it is already being arranged.
Before, "Love Is Not Blind" had almost come once, but this time it was different.
This time it is a celebration of the 1 billion box office success.
Although everyone had various speculations and even expectations before, when seeing that "Love Is Not Blind" actually had a box office of 1 billion, everyone still felt that it was a little bit impossible.
Among them, director Li Zijing was probably the one who felt it the most.
For him, he was actually confident about "Love Is Not Blind" at the beginning. After all, Li Zijing thought the script was good. However, confidence does not mean that he believes that "Love Is Not Blind" can become a hit.
Especially in such a short time, it was already quite difficult to complete the filming, not to mention that not only the filming had to be completed, but also the editing had to be done well, and all this took less than a month.
But it was completed anyway, and not only was it completed, it was completed over budget.
All this is because of Yu Xiaoshu.
Without Yu Xiaoshu's script, Li Zijing would not have been able to shoot so smoothly, because Yu Xiaoshu's script was too detailed. Not only was it detailed, but it also did not require any thinking at all.
Tool man.
That's right.
Li Zijing felt that he only needed to be a tool as a director.
A sentence that other directors of Baiqian Media used to say often was that the happiness of being a tool is something you can’t imagine.
And that is indeed the case this time.
I never thought that being a tool would be so happy.
Of course, it’s not just about being a tool that’s happy, but also that Li Zijing feels that Yu Xiaoshu’s most powerful side is yet to come.
That's editing.
A movie is only good if it is well edited.
Because so many film and television works are ruined by editing.
Just like some actors have good acting skills and some good scripts, but the editing turns them into crap.
Many actors often say they don’t know what the finished film will look like, and that’s true.
But Li Zijing never thought that Yu Xiaoshu actually knew how to edit, and his editing was so amazing, simply a god-level one.
No wonder, no wonder Zhu Zhichao looked at Yu Xiaoshu as if he were a god.
It is indeed God.
Li Zijing was extremely grateful that he came to Baiqian Media. Fortunately, he came to Baiqian Media, especially because Yu Xiaoshu tailored such a script for him. He was so happy.
Now, as the post-production promotion of "Love Is Not Blind" is almost finished, Li Zijing has returned to Baiqian Media.
"Teacher Yu, you are looking for me."
Li Zijing came to Yu Xiaoshu's office and asked.
"Take a look at this first."
Yu Xiaoshu said as he handed a script to Li Zijing.
Script: Go away, tumor.
Script summary: On the day before her 29th birthday, Xiong Dun lost her job for complaining about her weird boss, and then lost her love because of her awful boyfriend's cheating on her. But her bad luck didn't end there. After celebrating at the birthday party, Xiong Dun suddenly fainted in her room.
From that moment on, Xiong Dun embarked on a painful but joyful and embarrassing anti-cancer journey. From the emergency room to the hematology department to chemotherapy, each journey was accompanied by different "travel companions". Dr. Liang, the protagonist of Xiong Dun's love fantasy, the naughty and cute little boy "Madou", and the "Queen" Xia Meng, who was bald and bare-faced but still sexy as ever. Such a group of special people met in the special place of the hospital for a common reason. Their special encounter brought countless ridiculous joys to the originally boring and painful treatment.
Each of them gained a kind of strength from Xiong Dun, and even in the most difficult moments of life, they can still smile at fate. At the same time, these people of all kinds also brought infinite splendor to Xiong Dun's limited life.
…
Looking at the script, it can be said that Li Zijing was a little stunned for a moment.
Yes.
He was really stunned.
He never thought that Yu Xiaoshu actually wrote another script.
And looking at the synopsis of the script, it's obvious that this is another chick flick.
He is really a quick shooter.
At this time, Li Zijing really admired Yu Xiaoshu to the core.
This is too powerful.
Such a script was written so quickly.
In fact, Yu Xiaoshu started thinking about this movie after "Love Is Not Blind".
In the original time and space, this movie was released in 2015. It can be said that the movie still achieved good results and was even tear-jerking.
Because in the original time and space, this movie has a prototype.
The film is adapted from Xiong Dun's comic of the same name.
This movie is about cancer. Of course, the reason why it is so tear-jerking is because of the cleverness of the movie. To be precise, sometimes reality is more tear-jerking.
In fact, you can tell from the synopsis of this film that the focus is on the story of Xiong Dun and her many companions with distinct characteristics during the process from the emergency room to the hematology department to chemotherapy. The film fills the pain and boredom of the treatment with hilarious and embarrassing things. It combines various elements such as animation, martial arts, horror, etc., presents many laughs, spoofs and girlish dreams, and through cross-editing, switches back and forth between romantic fantasy and cruel reality, conveying an optimistic attitude towards disease and a positive and brave attitude towards life, allowing the audience to feel the power of life in tears and laughter.
In fact, the core of this film is similar to the later "Send You a Little Red Flower", both of which focus on the cancer group.
And the director is the same person.
Perhaps it is precisely because the director pays attention to such a group that he was able to shoot such a touching story.
30 minutes later, Li Zijing took a general look at the script, then he looked up and asked, "Teacher Yu, are we going to shoot now?"
