Chapter 139: Clouds and Winds
In fact, since the release of "Knock on the Door of Heaven", there are many related news reporting on it. Just click on it and there are a lot of related topics.
Including on Weibo, the movie has dominated the number one spot in popularity for a week!
The crazyness of the box office is not yet shown, the key is its cost and profit ratio are too exaggerated!
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a miracle!
Who is the driving force behind all this?
Bai Xiaofei!
Since the second half of the year, Bai Xiaofei has released two movies, "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Knock on the Gate of Heaven".
"Charlotte's Troubles", a production cost of about 20 million yuan, earned a box office of 1.48 billion yuan;
"Knocking on the Door of Heaven" is also a production cost of less than 20 million yuan. It has been released for thirteen days and the box office has exceeded 1 billion;
The previous movie can be said to have taken over the glory of Mahua, but what about "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven"?
From screenwriters to actors, they are basically all of Bai Xiaofei's own foundation, and even the style of the work has a strong sensational flavor, which is very similar to the whole routine when Bai Xiaofei participated in "Comedian"!
Two years, uh, to be precise, it should be a year - when Bai Xiaofei participated in "Comedian" it was October last year!
The sketch actors went to the big screen and shone with unparalleled brilliance!
A bunch of good reviews online.
What is the ‘genius director’, ‘box office machine’
Someone also wrote a special article to comment on Bai Xiaofei:
"Chinese movies are blooming, and many laymen are trying to use their influence to loot the box office. At this time, we especially hope that real filmmakers will come forward! Shoot some stories that the masses really like, and Bai Xiaofei's appearance is eye-catching. From "Brothers of Waste", I knew that this person must have ambition to make movies, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Although we all know that this is a work with a slick color, it is also a display of Bai Xiaofei's talent. He understands that now is an era of fragmented words, so his funny way may not be so special or advanced, but it is still very popular!"
"I would like to advise all comedians to first understand what humor is? What is spoof? What is hard creaking?
Ninety percent of domestic comedy movies are hard creaking and spoofing. The so-called hard creaking means scratching you.
Crack and spoof are often just single actions, and lines are also single actions. They are not a reasonable behavior or language, and lack the cause and effect and imagination space.
For example, if a person twists his butt in front of the audience, falls down, and the person with low laughter will laugh. This is a spoof.
Grizzle and spoof are single actions, with little purpose, while humor is integrated into the plot.
For example, if a person keeps spanking, his laughter will be low. If a person is spanking in the elevator, he will cover his nose and look at a girl next to him while shaking his head. The character is in a dilemma, and he will show his personal personality. A single action cannot show the character's personality.
People who laugh at you will laugh if you are particularly low-key.
The essence of humor is the helplessness and embarrassment displayed by a person in the face of a dilemma, and the irony and ridicule of others, mocking others or mocking oneself. Humor is a series of reasonable expressions and actions.
Humor must be in line with the eight words "unexpected".
The characteristic of humor is that it is divided into two paragraphs and two major beats. The first half is reasonable, that is, it lays the foundation for humor. Even if it is a shorter sentence, it is reasonable first, but then unexpectedly, and there cannot be accidents directly.
Dark scenes are used extensively in Bai Xiaofei's movies.
For example, in "Knocking on the Door of Heaven", the plot of the two stupid thieves and the unlucky children, the two underworlds were actually threatened by an unlucky child...
In the movie, we often see a policeman who is greedy for face. He is a bald man. No matter how critical he is, the first thing he does is to make his wig first to see if it is crooked.
Humor reflects the character and inner self, and is the dilemma caused by character. Anything that cannot be done is creaking.
The reason why we often say that foreign situational comedy is well done and the characters have very obvious personalities is actually because they are doing humor.
All comedy comes from the audience's own experience. Humor is a misplaced, a deconstruction and reorganization of audience cognition.
If you don’t understand what you read very clearly, please read “Breakup Master” and then read “Knock on the Gate of Heaven” again, and then you will understand why we have high expectations for Bai Xiaofei!”
The audience has a lot of praise. In this case, if you follow a few soft articles or take on a few variety shows, Bai Xiaofei will definitely become the new generation of traffic kings.
Unfortunately, neither Bai Xiaofei nor Chen Baolian likes the feeling of living on the cusp.
The movie has not received any exclusive interviews since it was released, and has rejected a bunch of variety shows invitations...
"Knock on the Door of Heaven" has a box office and reputation, and everything you do is right!
Even if you don’t give face, the other party will say that you want to be a real filmmaker or something...
However, when "I Am a Witness" was released, things changed a little.
There are too many news reports about "I am a Witness". Every move of the star can make headlines, "legs", "breasts", "hair"...
A popular search for walking...
Originally, if you are on your hot search, I will earn my box office and have a reputation. Hello, I will, Hello, everyone.
Someone is looking for trouble.
Maybe I feel that the environment cannot be so peaceful, and the situation must be tense. Only when it becomes nervous can fans support their idols...
No matter how casual Bai Xiaofei was, he couldn't stand being slandered like this, so he decisively accepted Zhalang's exclusive interview...
...
"Why choose Zhang Shan?"
The first question is to ask about the role.
Bai Xiaofei replied without thinking, "One of my purpose in choosing a role is to find the most suitable person to play the role! When writing the script, I had already considered Shanzi, and his image was a bit rude. Besides, I feel at ease with Shanzi's acting skills!"
"Does the company recommend that you choose some more well-known actors?"
"It's like this. I still have a certain say in casting in my play. Of course, the company recommends that I choose some well-known actors who are familiar with the audience and are more famous. However, I still think that "Gate of Heaven" can still recover the cost..."
Bai Xiaofei still answered very quickly.
"So, you're also surprised by the box office results now?"
"It's really surprising. As directors, the most basic thing we say is to make money through box office and not let investors lose money. This goal has been achieved on the first day. I think the subsequent box office results are purely the audience's love..."
When he said this, Director Bai's face was not at all turbulent, as if a billion-dollar box office was a very ordinary thing for him...
