Chapter 148 Officially Start Shooting

"Lost in Thailand" was born and suddenly achieved such great success and honor, and two kinds of ideas usually arise. One is to be the only one who is self-centered, and thus be rich and arrogant.

The other one is to be trembling and calculate while being modest, worrying whether his next work will achieve such results.

But neither of these two types of Xu Zheng was. He unexpectedly embarked on the path of "supporting the new director".

Undoubtedly, in terms of realm and vision, it is much higher than the same kind.

In the Chinese film circle, Hong Kong films still had master-apprentice inheritance in their early years, but this was actually limited to a small circle. Du Qifeng was in the name of a master and put "inheritance" first.

In the mainland film circle, there is almost no "inheritance" to see - people control their own circle and do not give newcomers a chance to stand out!

At this time, a star with extremely high commercial value can stand up and provide financial or even manpower with new directors. No matter what, it is an admirable thing. He does not distinguish between sects, regardless of type, as long as you may change the premature aging of Chinese movies, he will do his best to help. I think it will be difficult for anyone to do this.

Of course, you say he wants to break the monopoly in the Beijing circle, or he wants to become a guest...

Think whatever you want.

Anyway, what they practiced from the beginning was to collaborate with new directors!

In addition to Chen Zhengdao and Yang Qing, we all know, he has also worked with director Chen Lean!

Director Chen Len's first drama "The Third Man", starring Bald Xu!

For a new director, if Xu Zheng joins his work, it will be a step to reach the top in a sense - determining the life and death of a movie!

The key is that this person's vision is so accurate that it is scary. Looking at the works he produced, there is no one with a reputation below the passing line...

Compared to the things produced by some famous directors, it is speechless.

Chen Kexin, who claims to never make bad movies, is produced by "Blood Drops" and "Fantasy Brother"...

The works produced by Mr. Xu include "Qimen Dunjia", "The Sword of the Third Young Master", and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: The Mingyue Kingdom"

The old seniors really don’t care about their feathers at all!

Yes, although the main one is responsible for the publicity, if the audience does not buy it, they will say that they are not the director anyway, and they will not affect their reputation...

So some people say, 'It's a blessing to have Xu Zheng in Chinese movies.'

Except for occasionally driving a car at the club, I still drive in groups, and I really don’t have any other things...

...

"I know when you were the producer before, you were worried that the new director was not capable enough and would give some help during the filming process."

“…I’m all doing business…”

"I understand."

All for the sake of the show...

"However, I hope I can make the decision on the filming of the crew in the future..."

"Of course, you are the director!"

Xu Zheng said it very politely.

"If you have any ideas, you can tell me about the performance in private or during shooting. Let's use your standards as the standard!"

That is, the meaning of ‘you watch the acting’…

"Are you so relieved to me?"

"Of course, Teacher Xu doesn't want to smash his own sign, right!"

...

In late March, the movie market finally became popular, but unfortunately, only imported blockbusters are popular!

"Beauty and the Beast", "Wolverine 3: A Death War", "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" and of course "Jing Tian's Hollywood Movie Universe 2" "Kong: Skull Island".

These movies have achieved box office revenue of 1 billion yuan in the mainland.

For today's mainland market, if the box office of imported blockbusters does not exceed one billion, even if there is no one interested...

Speaking of "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" was acquired by Lion Mouse Film in the form of film-making, and was also one of the investors to acquire the copyright in the mainland. The buyout price is RMB 40 million...

You can enjoy a 43% share of domestic movies by typing movies!

The total box office is one billion, this is a big profit!

Lion Movie received the China distribution rights through bidding with Germany's Constantine Pictures, but in terms of box office share, China Film will definitely take a part, and the remaining part of Germany's Constantine Pictures won the head. Lion Movie only gets a small part of the "promotion and distribution cost", but this "promotion and distribution cost" fluctuates according to the box office, and the specific proportion should be 20%.

Here, Lion Mouse Pictures is not simply buying out the film's distribution rights in China. To put it bluntly, it is an agency distribution. It is very similar to the operating method of the account-sharing film and does not occupy the account-sharing quota. This model is a good thing for everyone, and other domestic companies should also learn it - it is very certain that it can be regarded as a film-making, but it is definitely not a account-sharing - if it is a account-sharing, the opening credits will have Sony's logo, or Sony will intervene in the promotion and distribution.

No one can figure out that a small-budget movie like "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" can actually explode with such great energy in the mainland - it was released in North America for one month, with a box office of 26.55 million US dollars...

However, on the first day of its release in mainland China, the box office was 208 million yuan, which directly overturned the North American box office!

In fact, this movie is like playing a game and doing a limited-time mission. The heroine Alice kills and kills all the way. After passing one level, the next level comes, which does not allow the audience to breathe and think. Moreover, each level has to be eliminated to show the difficulties of the task.

In any case, the audience knew that Alice would definitely be able to overcome the difficulties and save the world.

No matter how many times the villain has the chance to kill Alice, he has to do something to trap himself in.

The thriller effect is mostly caused by a shocking and cheap routine, even a thrilling soundtrack, and a sudden increase in volume.

There is nothing else but excitement.

Such clichés are already extremely tired of North American audiences.

The unchanging plot choreography, the empty and overflowing sequel sentiment, and the mechanical action scenes are all complaints.

However, for domestic audiences, although many imported popcorn movies have performed poorly in recent years and Hollywood blockbusters have long been showing weakness, "Resident Evil" is a bit different. It is the earliest zombie-type movie that Chinese audiences come into contact with and is the enlightenment of zombie films for Chinese audiences.

It is too vulgar to say that feelings are too vulgar, but it is always impossible to avoid this word.

Just watch "Warcraft".

This movie also firmly grasps this point, with the promotional focus, posters, and trailers all revealing the sentimentality of "end".

As the end is about to be, the audience has become particularly tolerant, as if everything can be left unrestrained.

Another major advantage of the "Resident Evil" series is that unlike the foreign film market, there are new works in all types of movies. It is clearly stipulated that there should be no "ghosts" in China. In the domestic thriller environment where bad movies are everywhere, "Resident Evil" has indeed filled the audience's demand for thrillers.

Therefore, it is not surprising that "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" has become popular in China. It is not that the audience is stupid and has a lot of money, but it just combines feelings, fans, needs and timing.

Now that "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" has been a big box office in China, what is more worrying is whether "Resident Evil", which has been agreed to be completed, will be restarted again?

With the American urinary nature, it might be possible!

...

"Did the extras all come to film the scene of the pharmaceutical company today?"

"...Here, but director, you are so sudden, we can't guarantee the quality of the extras!"

"It's okay, if I miss the limit, I'll remove you!"

The next day, the main creators suddenly found that Bai Xiaofei seemed to be in a much better mood.

It seems that the conflict between him and Xu Zheng has been resolved almost exactly!

However, Xu Zheng did not show up...

Xiaobai temporarily adjusted the shooting plan and moved more scenes of temporary actors to the front. After three days of starting the filming, he never filmed several scenes of major actors.

On the fourth day, the starring actor finally came to the opportunity to appear.
Chapter completed!
