Disaster Artist

The latest website: Li Qi, a non-professional director who shoots music videos. When he was young, his marriage with the singer, Mai Jiana, was vigorous and prosperous. Later, when they divorced and parted ways, Li Qi began to try to make movies. As a result, the first work "Stealing and Abducting" won unimaginable praise.

Li Qi likes to focus his attention on "street men". The men under his lens are always condescending, uninhibited, and involved in street gangsters, but even in gangsters they are small roles; Righteousness Bo Yuntian, for friends, showing brotherly loyalty.

At the same time, Li Qi's way of filming the film runs through the exquisiteness of the music video, and the coherence of the picture is broken with sharp and tough editing, showing a kaleidoscope posture, which has a taste of playful debauchery, so the whole film is It exudes a feeling of a ruffian playing in the world.

If Li Qi is an amazing genius or a top player, it would be an exaggeration, but he can indeed show his unique touch of rhythm and splicing in a small volume, which has also won him a batch of Loyal audience support and love.

It is worth mentioning that although Li Qi likes to shoot gangsters on the street, and chasing and fighting has always been a part of the movie, and is often classified as "action movies"; but fighting scenes have never been Li Qi's specialty. He still focuses on character relationships, plot scheduling, etc., and completes editing and splicing by breaking the timeline of the linear narrative. It can only be said that action scenes are one of Li Qi's expressions.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qi has been rolling in the industry for seventeen years.

After the amazing early stage of his career, over the years, Li Qi has produced several well-known masterpieces and directed two commercial blockbusters, but he also made several disappointing high-cost productions. His career has not been a big hit, but he has always had a loyal following.

In this "Gentleman's Secret Order", Li Qi and Liuguang Films cooperated to find the two hottest tough guy images of the new generation to cooperate with each other, and filmed a special work with a retro flavor, which attracted countless attention from the stage of project establishment. , and has always remained a hot spot thanks to the joining of traffic niche students——

Anyway, Li Qi's films have never required acting skills, and it has always been the case from the past to the present, and the facial paralysis can always fulfill Li Qi's requirements well.

However, because the competition for this year's summer program is too fierce, and the representative film "Mission Impossible" starring Tang Shouyi is also in front, Liuguang Films is also tied up, and in the end, it still chooses the current schedule.

result……

"Quick Pursuit" also chose the same schedule.

Although Liuguang Pictures does not want to continue to face off against Blue Whale Pictures, if a confrontation is really needed, Liuguang Pictures will obviously not back down.

So, unintentionally, the showdown played out like this.

Moreover, it is actually "Action Movie VS Action Movie", and even the investment cost is on the same level. "Gentleman's Secret Order" costs about 500 million, and "Quick Hunt" is about 200 million. The difference in numbers is somewhat Large, but basically belong to the scope of small and medium investment scale, so that people in the industry can't help but ridicule, they should be in the action type market.

This time, Lu Qian is no longer in charge of the guide tube, and is just standing behind the scenes as a producer. Will the confrontation situation change?

However--

Amazing again!

The reputation of "The Gentleman's Secret Order" was greatly disappointed. Although it would not "collapse", the feedback and comments of all lines from professional to ordinary were below the passing line, which really made people deeply feel the major problems of the film's own quality, even if it still A part of the audience tried their best to save their respect but could not restore the overall decline.

Old-fashioned and boring are the main problems; moreover, Li Qi's best fast editing and parallel editing have not been able to play to their due level this time, and the two traffic niche students are basically "models walking on the stage and posing" State, no acting is not a problem, no charm is.

Going back to "music video level" overnight, the movie is naturally unsatisfactory.

After the premiere ended, the ominous premonition had already appeared crazily, and this premonition was correct.

Second week of August, global weekend box office charts.

The champion, "Fast Pursuit", 500 million, this result easily broke Lu Qian's two works so far, and the premiere box office data set a new high.

The runner-up, "Mission Impossible 5", cost 130 million. In the third week of its release, we can already see some decline, but the cumulative box office still easily exceeded 1.5 billion.

The third runner-up, "Gentleman's Secret Order", 80 million, surprised everyone. Leaving aside Li Qi's own appeal for the time being, the two fanatical fans of the traffic niche should not be so deserted. After all, the sales volume of the endorsement products of the traffic niches Movement is a million jumps, but why is the box office like this——

Sure enough, how to convert traffic into revenue is still a question mark. Can traffic artists only bring goods?

Like the first duel, "Liuguang Pictures VS Blue Whale Pictures 2.0" still started with vigour and ended with fluff, and the gap was really too big.

Judging from the premiere data, "Gentleman's Secret Order" is not even one-fifth of that of "Quick Pursuit", but in terms of investment, "Gentleman's Secret Order" is more than twice that of "Quick Pursuit". It can be seen from mathematical mental arithmetic that the streamer film industry has lost completely, and even the media do not want to fall into the trap:

Really miserable.

In the end, the global box office of "The Gentleman's Secret Order" in different regions was superimposed, barely dawdling through 600 million, which seems to exceed the cost line from the figures, but the film industry does not calculate profits like this:

First of all, the box office dividends need to be divided into three parts: the theater chain, distribution and production; secondly, the publicity expenses also need to be included in the cost; in addition, the film company can also recover the cost through the distribution of video discs, online point screening, peripheral sales, etc. It depends on the box office to make a profit.

Judging from the results, it is rumored that "Gentleman's Secret Order" eventually lost more than 200 million yuan. Streamer Pictures suffered a small internal injury. From "Boss Speeding" to "Gentleman's Secret Order", two head-on collisions with Blue Whale Pictures~www. novelmt.com~ Returned twice by defeat, and also bleed a lot of blood, but different situations ushered in the same result.

This is, different ways...the same return?

Could it be that Streamer Pictures and Blue Whale Pictures are incompatible?

Among the bustling rumors, only Liuguang Films knows the taste of it; but Blue Whale Films ushered in the celebration early——

again.

So, Blue Whale Pictures' first attempt to land in the summer program was a great success?

Indeed, it was a huge success, in an appalling way:

After the first week of its release, the film entered the profitability stage directly, sounding the first clarion call for Blue Whale Pictures to compete for the summer season.

But seriously thinking about the brilliance of "unfriend" and "raid", it seems that it is not so unexpected. Some people even ridiculed, isn't this the basic operation of Blue Whale Pictures?
