Chapter 201 What I want is that the audience likes it
Zhou Kai is a reporter and film critic of Entertainment Morning Post. At 10 o'clock in the morning, he arrived at a cinema on the Third Ring Road. As soon as he walked in, he felt the hustle and bustle here. He could see a large number of young people gathered near the waiting area and ticket gate. Zhou Kai was also a young man. Thinking of his wife's instructions to get up this morning to work overtime, he quickly figured out the situation at the scene.
If you want to see the ticket sales and movie viewing situation to locate "The Knife Out of the Sheath", it will be difficult for at least one or two days. More than 80% of all those who come to buy tickets to watch movies are Yang Yichen's fans. Just like his wife, he asked himself to buy tickets and accompany her to watch them at night. Zhou Kai also asked: "Military themes are not as romantic as you want, are you still going to watch them?"
Zhou Kai could only smile helplessly: "This is Chenzai's first movie, and it must be supported. If Chenzai had not said that he would not buy movie tickets repeatedly for support because of him. I plan to ask you to buy ten movies."
Zhou Kai walked around the waiting area. Sure enough, those who came to support Yang Yichen in the morning were all his fans. According to this trend, there would be more in the afternoon and evening. In the long queues of ticket purchase areas, he came over to inquire. There were really not many people who ran out to watch movies in the morning. Among the dozens of people, one or two people came to buy tickets and watch movies. They did not specify to watch "The Knife Out". But seeing more and more films and buying this movie in front and back, they also changed their minds.
Zhou Kai used his identity as a reporter to enter the work area of the cinema employee, contacted the theater manager, interviewed the other party, and learned that the filming plan would be adjusted in the afternoon. In the morning, a large number of young people came to buy tickets to support "The Knife Out". Today's adjustment is only tentative, and there will be another adjustment tomorrow. Employees need to count based on the age group of viewers who buy tickets. If the number of crazy fans decreases but the overall number of viewers does not decrease, it proves that the film still has strong market potential and the filming will be adjusted.
Before the official release, the two strong opponents of the same period did not stimulate Yang Yichen, because the starring roles of both opponents were Yang Yichen's friends. The former was Liu Dehua from the third part of Infernal Affairs, and the latter was Zhao Wei from the movie version of Yu Guanyin. He was afraid that what he said to him before the release would put too much pressure on him. They all learned that the film market is booming today, so they called Yang Yichen to congratulate him and joked with him.
"If you win, you invite me to dinner. It's a pity that you didn't come. The first one was only released in Xiangjiang, and the third one is global." Liu Dehua was full of confidence, the audience was in the infernal sense, and the success of the first one was actually a kind person. He said so, "He praised Yang Yichen with kindness, but he never expected that he would not have the final meal in the end.
Zhao Wei's phone call came quickly: "Xiao Chenzi, my sister's new film is about to be launched. You kid have to come and support me. In the movie industry, you and I have made a name for each other. This time, you can be divided into two major issues. If you lose, you have to agree to the winner. "
Only very familiar friends would make such jokes, which indirectly proves Zhao Wei's confidence. Director Ann Hui, such a big director and co-starring actors, made her very confident. Seeing Yang Yichen's good start, she also wanted to put pressure on herself to compete. However, she didn't know that Yang Yichen was sure to win. He knew the ending of this remake of Jade Guanyin. It seems that Miss Zhao still has to walk a little longer on the box office - poison - medicine.
He agreed casually, thinking that he could try his best to do more publicity. He vaguely remembered that it seemed that Xiaoyanzi's Golden Lock conflict was exposed in his previous life. The Asian red star Xiaoyanzi, who was very popular, had a poor grade in the film industry, while the maid Jinsuo became famous after "Mobile Phone". Perhaps the two of them didn't think so much, but the media didn't care about so many things, and they would hype it up if there were gimmicks. It would be hard for both of them to care if they were better than princesses.
Why!
At present, Yang Yichen could only sigh. He had too many things to consider now. He was overwhelmed with just dealing with the things around him. He really had no time to consider others, nor did he think about competitions and box office competitions. "The Knife Out" was destined to move forward in controversy. Fortunately, many media learned to see clearly before entering the market. It was not that at the beginning that someone would follow him immediately after he was slapped in the face several times. There were only a few media criticizing them sharply early this morning.
"We must remember the 'role model' of newcomers!"
This kind of title with quotes is nothing more than sending a message to everyone. Don’t be arrogant and want to be a director if you have nothing to do. You are still a little bit tender. Look at this movie being shot by you. Its level is too average. Is there any artistic quality at all?
When he saw this article, Yang Yichen wanted to scold his mother. He was not angry, but was just speechless to some media. They felt that something that was not good-looking without depth was that it was not artistic. A movie must be artistic, otherwise it would not be worthy of being called a movie. Xiaogangpao was also suffering from controversy in this area a few years ago. He only focused on box office and ignored artistic expressions such as his filming.
The little steel cannon is just a word, let’s satisfy the audience first.
The media is like this, there is no way to be reconciled, and there are problems on both sides, but they just grasp your problem rather than the actual situation. They will focus on your problem. They will specialize in an art film that has a bad box office, which is a failed work. At this time, they will not propose that some viewing may be sacrificed for art. They will only say that the movie is filmed for the public. You should first please the public. The people will not buy it. What if you become a masterpiece of art? They will also say that this film is not artistic at all. Directors should pursue art instead of lowering their posture for the box office and should not please the audience. Movies are elegant art, and we should sacrifice for art.
No matter how you say it, you can't be wrong. No matter how you say it, there will be supporters to watch it. No matter how you say it, it can affect a group of viewers.
Yang Yichen really wants to say that when the film market is not good, as media people, don’t come up and step on it. Your picky and slimness discourages many people who are preparing to watch movies. If everyone is more tolerant and give some praise, I think many viewers will come to the cinema.
………………………………………
Zhou Kai stayed in the cinema until afternoon. After buying the tickets, he ate some casually at noon. He looked at the time and just waited for his wife to come here to eat Western food and watch the movie. Taking advantage of the time, he had an extra process than many media reporters. After waiting for more than two hours, he interviewed the audience who came out after watching the movie and listened to their feelings.
"It's so satisfying, so good. Chen Zai's kung fu is really amazing."
"Those special forces are good, okay, they are all handsome men. If we weren't Chen Zai as the protagonist, I would have wanted them to be the protagonist."
"Those who offend our China will be punished even if they are far away."
"When encountering a strong enemy, I will resolutely draw my sword and never retreat!"
"How great would it be if I were Xiaoqing."
"After watching this video, I feel that I should encourage my younger brother to join the army."
"Our soldiers are the cutest people."
Zhou Kai interviewed more than a dozen people. Although what everyone said was different, they were almost positive feedback, which made him a little confused. Why didn’t I feel so much when I watched it last night? It was because I thought too much. The purpose of watching the video was not purely to find faults? He could understand the audience’s perspective. How deep the film could not be important, but it must make them feel good. There are too many people who are not here to find art, but they just come to have some leisure time. They hope to see a movie that makes them feel comfortable and relaxed.
Look at the time, at 1:30, my wife got off work at 5 o'clock, and there was another event in fifteen minutes. Zhou Kai thought about it and bought another ticket to enter the theater. He hoped that he would watch it from a pure audience perspective. Not every time he looked at a camera, he wanted to pick things up. For this reason, he also bought popcorn and drinks specifically. When he entered the venue, he shook his head and warned himself, Zhou Kai, Zhou Kai, you are not a reporter now, just an audience.
The movie was broadcast. This time, Zhou Kai tried hard to make his mind blank. He didn't think too much. He was picky and picky as a film critic. Soon, he was attracted by the scene in the film and gradually put his hands down. He no longer grabbed the popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, but sat there blankly watching the movie...
"Yang Yichen is really hardworking. He is very powerful when he descends from a tall building."
"Is it really a sword? Is it a real gun? I'm fisting, okay, this kick is good."
The angles are different, and the things you see are different...
ps: Thank you, Zhang Qingxin, for the reward of the drunken boat!
