Chapter 377 I'm sick in the head!

"33 Days of Broken Love"

When the judges finished voting, everyone in the audience was surprised.

Is it unpopular?

It's a little cold indeed.

Because in the face of heavy and serious films like Aftershock and tribute films like The Founding of a Party, it was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations that Love Is Not Blind won the Best Picture award.

This is a low-budget movie.

Although it was a box office hit, in the eyes of many professional filmmakers, it is an imperfect commercial film.

Is there any artistry?

Yes, many people picked out a lot of details after watching the movie.

For example, the hero and heroine never expressed their feelings from beginning to end, nor did they even say any affectionate words.

But their every move, their every word and deed, tell the audience that they love each other deeply.

This is a very sincere work, and the sincerity of the film can be reflected in a lot of details.

The audience also felt it, so the box office was ridiculously high.

But such a movie won the Best Picture, especially after defeating Aftershock and The Founding of a Party, which will definitely trigger a debate among countless filmmakers.

But the judges and guests at the scene were only stunned for a moment, followed by a warm applause.

"Master Huan, it's your turn."

Deng Huatao never expected that the movie he made would win the Best Picture award.

It's so surprising and so exciting.

"Yes, Master Huan, it's agreed that you go and receive the award."

"Go, Master Huan"

Yang Huan felt a little shy now and began to back off.

"Forget it, forget it, Xiao Deng, you should go, as compensation for not winning the Best Director award."

Unexpectedly, Deng Huatao laughed and said, "No, we agreed that you have to go and get it."

As he said this, the guy asked loudly, "Everyone, is this right?"

"right"

"That's right, Master Huan, you have to go."

Zhang Wen was very good at fanning the flames. He clenched his fist and raised his arm, shouting, "Master Huan!"

Someone immediately followed and shouted, "Master Huan!"

"Master Huan"

The commotion here was immediately noticed by everyone in the audience, and even many people who were curious about the situation joined in the fun.

The entire theater was suddenly filled with Master Huan’s shouts.

This made Qin Yongming, who was sitting in a corner where no one was paying attention, feel so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Comparing yourself to others can make you angry

Why does this guy always attract attention wherever he goes?

If he doesn't stand out, will he die?

And this group of shameless filmmakers, is it necessary to flatter him like this?

"Fatty Qian" Qin Yongming immediately waved to Qian Duoduo beside him.

"Let's go to Spain and tell those people in Atletico Madrid to give us more bonuses. We must beat Southampton in the Europa League final. I will teach Yang Huan a lesson."

Qian Duoduo was full of envy, jealousy and hatred towards Yang Huan.

Who doesn’t want to be the center of attention?

Who doesn’t want to have the best of both worlds, be surrounded by beauties, and enjoy all the good fortune?

Unfortunately, this guy got all the benefits.

Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo began to hate Yang Huan for no reason.

The reason is nothing but dislike

Amid the cheers of everyone in the audience and the resentment of some people with ulterior motives, Yang Huan had to stand up from his seat, pointed at Deng Huatao and others in a threatening manner, and then walked onto the stage.

Along the way, his mind was full of thoughts, what should he say?

Can you tell me how hard it was to make this movie?

Don't be ridiculous. If you really complain like this, it would be too ugly, right?

Who doesn’t have hard time making a movie?

There are many people who work harder than you in making movies, but they didn't win any awards, didn't have as high box office as you, and some of them can't even be shown in theaters.

You worked hard to make the film, but if you won an award and it had a high box office, that's all.

If you really want to complain now, there is no need

Thinking of this, Yang Huan knew what he should say.

After two years of experience, Yang Huan is no longer the loser he was in his previous life. What kind of storms has he not seen now?

Isn’t it just a speech at an awards ceremony?

Live performance is OK

"uh-huh"

After receiving the award, Yang Huan walked to the microphone, adjusted his voice, and placed his hands on the podium, looking very casual and cool.

This immediately caused everyone to laugh.

"Be serious, stop laughing, I'm giving a speech."

Who would have thought that after Yang Huan said this, the whole audience laughed even more happily.

Oh my God, I've seen people giving speeches while crying, and I've also seen people speaking in a way that made people cry, but I've rarely seen someone like this, where the whole audience burst into laughter before they even started talking. Isn't this too ridiculous?

It seems that this young master is indeed talented, and his every move is a spoof

"By the way, let me ask you, how long can I talk?"

Yang Huan's words caused another round of laughter.

"No time limit," someone suddenly shouted.

"Yes, if you can, you can talk for an hour."

"One hour is not enough, it takes at least two hours."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and everyone followed suit.

"I've already told you to be serious. This is CC Live. Stop talking nonsense. Do you really think I'm Zhou Libo?"

Zhou Libo is the most famous talk show host in Longhai City.

There was another burst of laughter from the audience.

After Master Huan's words, Zhou Libo is likely to become even more popular.

Yang Huan started only after everyone had finished laughing.

“I had no intention of receiving this award, let alone going on stage to receive it, but since I’m here, I’ll just say something and everyone can listen.

Many people below nodded.

For a moment, the theater became silent.

“I am very grateful to the organizers for giving us the highest honor, the Best Film Award.”

"Really, we never thought we would get this award. It was a beautiful accident."

"Why haven't you thought about it?"

"Because our goal was clear from the beginning, we wanted to make a hit commercial film."

"Then I want to ask everyone, what is a box office hit commercial film?"

No one answered, everyone was just listening.

"I still remember that when I was planning to set up a film company, I called some executives from our cinema chain to discuss it. When I asked them how to make a hit movie, the general manager of our cinema chain jokingly told me that it was simple. Everyone should go to the ticket office to intern for a month."

There was another burst of laughter from the audience.

The Yang Group's cinema chain now accounts for more than a quarter of the national box office and is still expanding rapidly.

Besides Yang Wenfeng, perhaps the only person in the country who could call all the executives of Yang Group's cinema chain for discussion was Young Master Huan.

If you change it to someone else, try it, no one will pay attention to you, let alone hold a meeting with you?

What meeting is this?

Do you still want to watch the movie?

Do you want to schedule a few more shows?

Therefore, only Young Master Huan can do this kind of thing, and others can only envy

Yang Huan didn't feel that way. What seemed very common to him seemed so out of reach in the eyes of others.

He continued with his speech.

"I asked curiously why, and they said that many filmmakers nowadays don't understand the market at all. They never even watch other people's movies, but want everyone to watch their movies. They always talk about art, Oscars, and other major awards, but they don't even know the most basic thing, how to make a hit movie."

Yang Huan's words caused everyone in the theater to fall silent.

"I don't believe it"

"But they made a bet with me, saying, if you go and invest in any domestic director, you don't need him to make a good movie, you just need him to explain why his best-selling movie makes money? Why do audiences buy tickets? How do audiences feel after watching the movie?"

“We can guarantee that no one can say it well.”

Yang Huan's words immediately silenced everyone present.

I believe that many people are asking themselves this question at this moment.

Did I say it well?

The answer, no one knows

The theater was silent, with only Yang Huan's voice.

“I was very surprised because I work in the Internet industry and I know very well how important user experience and feedback are.”

"So, what I find even more strange is why filmmakers don't pay attention to user experience and feedback? How narcissistic does a person have to be to believe that he doesn't need to watch other people's movies and can make a critically and commercially successful movie by himself?"

"How can a person who is so narcissistic, who is always immersed in his own world, who disdains to communicate and interact with the general public, make a movie that the general public likes?"

Yang Huan's words were undoubtedly harsh.

But many people present either closed their eyes or nodded.

But no one refuted

"When Love Is Not Blind was released, I commissioned the cinema chain and hired an outside company to conduct an investigation. I asked them to record the audience's reactions during each screening, when they laughed and why they laughed, when they cried and why they cried."

"After the movie is over, we will survey the audience to find out what they think is good about the movie and what is not good about it."

"We not only do this in China, we also go to Korea, Japan, the United States, and Europe to conduct surveys, because we want to understand what moviegoers really want to see, which elements they like and are interested in, and which elements they don't like or even hate."

"If you don't know what the audience likes and doesn't like, how can you make a hit movie?"

"Rely on feelings? Today this movie is a hit, tomorrow that movie loses out, the day after tomorrow it's a hit again, the day after tomorrow it loses out again. The movie market is like a roller coaster, with ups and downs. It's a mess. How can it develop?"

I believe that many people present would not want to listen to Yang Huan's words, and might even feel disgusted.

But Yang Huan didn't care about that, because he thought, since no one dared to say it, then I will say it.

Anyway, he doesn't rely on these filmmakers for a living. On the contrary, these filmmakers have to rely on him for a living.

Tell me what’s the matter?

Can’t say?

You can't even say it, so why should I invest in your movie?

I have a brain disease

"This is an era of globalization. We cannot limit ourselves to a certain kind of stubborn thinking. We need to be open and not act as if we have saved Chinese cinema by winning an award or receiving praise at a foreign film festival."

"In my eyes, movies have no national boundaries, only good and bad. Even Iranian movies are praised all over the world, which shows that if you can't make a good movie, it's your problem. You have to accept it and look for the reason from yourself."

"As for those who always say that commercial films corrupt art, I just want to say, don't confuse right and wrong."

"Art films come from commercial films, and non-mainstream films come from mainstream films. We should not blindly pursue non-mainstream films like art, but think down to earth about how to make our mainstream commercial films better and stronger."

"I believe that as long as you grasp the preferences of local audiences and make mainstream commercial films well and strong, your films will naturally be able to go abroad and go global."

“How many movies does Hollywood make every year, and how many of them are global hits?”

"According to our movie screen forecast, the highest box office of a single local movie is expected to reach more than 3 billion yuan, but our current highest box office is Avatar, which is only one-third of this number. If you have the ability to increase the local box office of your movie to more than 3 billion, then it will naturally go abroad and sweep the world."

"But if you can't do this, then please lower your guard, give up the blind pursuit of so-called art films, and study carefully how to make a movie to this box office."

The more Yang Huan spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more he couldn't stop.

"Countless people are talking about learning from Hollywood and recreating a Hollywood in the East."

"Then I want to ask, what is the core of Hollywood's strength?"

"culture?"

Yang Huan sneered, "Fuck the culture!"

"It's business, it's their box office focus"

"You shoot whatever is popular. When it gets old and no longer makes money, switch to another genre and keep shooting. I guarantee that if it makes more money than superhero movies, everyone in Hollywood will go shoot ** tomorrow."

Isn’t that the case with superhero movies in recent years?

Isn’t the content the same from one film to another?

But they are still sweeping the world. Do you have any objection?

If you have the ability, you can also shoot like this

The question is, can you capture it?

Don't talk about the special effects. The special effects of Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate and 3 have reached Hollywood's first-class level, not inferior to Transformers.

The key is that people

"Movies are a money-making business. They are not narcissistic, nor are they so noble as to go against money."

"If you can't see through this and can't do this, what right do you have to say you want to learn from Hollywood?"

"You will never catch up with Hollywood. Even Korean and Japanese movies are better than yours."

As soon as Yang Huan finished speaking, the whole place fell into dead silence.

Obviously, no one would have thought that he would say these words.

After more than ten seconds of silence, someone suddenly stood up.

"Well, well said."

It turned out to be the fat guy Wang Jing, who was standing there and clapping hard.

Then Deng Huatao, Chen Kexin, Xu Ke and others also stood up one after another.

As more and more people stood up and applauded, Yang Huan believed that he had done the right thing.

Movies, like football, are sustained by teams.

A good movie cannot be completed by one person.

A good film market cannot be maintained by just one film or even one company.

This requires the joint efforts of everyone present.
