Senior Superstar

What is the most unbearable thing about being a man?

It must be a woman's doubts about her abilities!

Who do you look down on?

Isn't that seven times a day?

Come!

Immediately giving the girl a look of "Your uncle is your uncle after all", Li Shixin took the printed tickets and brought a group of old fans into the screening room.

In the movie theater, there are already quite a few viewers who came to watch the film.

The movie theater where Li Shixin is located is a chain movie theater under Huaqi.

In recent years, the film and television industry has been booming. With the cooperation with high-quality shopping malls, Huaqi Cinema has grown in scale.

Li Shixin had read an industry statistic before. When he just traveled over last year, the number of theaters in the country had reached more than 12,000, the total number of screens had reached more than 70,000, and the total box office was as high as 650. Fourteen billion.

In this big data, the Huaqi family accounted for 11%.

Standing at the entrance of the projection hall, Li Shixin shook his head secretly as he watched the crowds in and out of the hall.

From the outside, the domestic film and television industry is in full swing. But in fact, this industry is far from being as glamorous as it looks on the outside.

The price of a movie ticket will basically be cut by about 60% due to tax deduction, account sharing, and theater draws.

For the remaining 40%, cinemas still need to pay for rent, labor costs, and other consumables. These costs and expenses will not be covered once the box office revenue is dismal.

People inside and outside the industry say that Huaqi has laid the foundation of this film and television empire relying on the theater resources of commercial real estate, but in fact, it is more of a helpless move for film and television companies to do theaters.

These days, the hit rate of theater movies is too high.

In the domestic film and television industry where piracy is rampant and the awareness of property rights protection has not yet been perfected, more than 500 movies are released in theaters every year on average, and basically one movie is released in theaters every three days.

But excluding the box office, among the 500 movies that can really make money, the number is actually pitifully small.

The cruelest point in the film and television industry is that the winners take most of the money and go to the streets to share the leftovers.

In order to ensure revenue, it is inevitable for a large film and television company to expand upstream and downstream.

Didi Didi,

Just as Li Shixin was distracted by the bustling audience and waiting to enter the arena, the phone in his hand vibrated.

Seeing the WeChat message above, he quickly turned on his phone.

That was the data statistics group of works released on the National Day file that Li Juan, the manager of the film and television department, pulled him into yesterday.

The producers and directors of Huaqi's six works released on this National Day are all in this group.

"@全部团友, Huaqi Cinemas and national cooperative cinemas have the following schedule information for today;

1. From 9:00 to 10:30, "Not Full of Lovers, More Than Friends", there are 6,200 screenings nationwide.

2. "Demon Contract" 10:45-12:30, 5,200 screenings nationwide.

3. "Snow Line Climbing" 12:45-14:30, with 8,500 screenings nationwide.

4. "Only Love" 14:45-16:25, 2800 screenings nationwide.

5. "Crime Fighting Tracker" 16:40-18:25, with 4,100 screenings nationwide.

6. "Defendant" 18:40-21:00. There are 4,500 screenings nationwide.

The attendance rate and film schedule ratio will be statistically announced after the movie premiere.

On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day Double Festival, Huaqi Film and Television wishes all the producers, producers, directors and teachers Changhong box office to create success! "

Li Shixin smiled faintly after watching the statistics group in the group announce the schedule information, the group was quiet.

In the four or five days after finishing the editing, the old man did almost nothing, and was only busy arguing with Huaqi Film and Television.

On the first day of the film's premiere, film scheduling is very particular.

The ones that are earlier in time are not necessarily the ones that receive the most attention. For example, among the works released today, "The Lovers Are Not Full", an urban workplace love movie, has only 5,200 screenings, which is an appetizer.

According to the audience's movie-watching habits, the first show in the afternoon of the National Day file is generally the most important.

It can be seen from the film schedule that "Snow Line Climbing" was Huaqi's work with the largest investment last year, the most expensive script IP, the heaviest director, and the most powerful cast. More than 8,000 films have been scheduled nationwide.

It occupies almost all the theaters under Huaqi, as well as the prime time of all cooperative theaters.

As a small-budget film with an investment of only 3 million, "Only Love" is already ranked second in the afternoon, which is already very good.

October 1st of this year caught up with the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At dusk, it is time for the whole family to enjoy the moon and eat mooncakes.

From the filming, it is enough to see that there is an expert behind the push.

"Shixin, why are our movies scheduled until the afternoon? Three or four o'clock is the time for cooking and eating. Who cares about watching movies?"

On the side, Wu Ming was holding a movie ticket, his face full of displeasure.

Mr. Liu Feng was also full of displeasure: "Who took this sequence, Shixin, give him a call and ask him to adjust it forward. I think it will be good at noon, you can ask them to change it."

I really want to!

If I can choose, I can't wait to play "Only Love" all day long!

The key is that the employer's father won't do it!

Seeing a group of old fans holding movie tickets with angry faces one by one, as if to ask for an explanation with the film scheduler, Li Shixin chuckled.

Don't worry, old folks.

This is the first day, where to where?

Seeing that the ticket inspector was already in place, Li Shixin quickly waved to a group of old fans, and strode into the screening hall with the tickets.

If you are fat first, you are not fat, but if you become fat later, you will overwhelm Kang!

Let the old man see how the other coquettish sluts perform.

...

The reason why Li Shixin bought the all-day premiere tickets was mainly because he wanted to see the quality of this batch of premiere works.

After all, they are all within the same system, and the support resources are limited and the film schedule is tight, so there is still a large degree of competition between the various works.

But after spending more than six hours in the theater with a group of old fans, Li Shixin was a little disappointed.

The first scene of "Not Full of Lovers, More Than Friends" is a well-structured commercial film. The female number one Li Shixin still knows Ran Zitong who worked with him in "Fried Cold Rice" before.

It is said that the acting skills of the actors are passable, the production is also considered excellent, and the persuasion is quite carefree. But it's the story itself that makes people feel awkward. The movie tells the story of a working girl and her male best friend. The heroine is straightforward and staggers in the workplace and life. Accompanying the heroine to experience several failed relationships and career troughs, and finally succeeded in holding hands.

Just such a story.

Although the lines are very interesting, and some portrayals about the workplace and life in the film are exciting enough, but the value output makes Li Shixin feel that this movie cannot be a big hit.

It is completely a story with women as the first perspective. Looking at it from a male perspective, the whole story can be summed up in four words.

Lick the dog to turn positive.

Although the current film and television industry, the proportion of female audiences has always been in a leading position. However, the word-of-mouth and subsequent influence of a work cannot be supported by relying solely on the fifty-five percent of the audience.

And to be honest, even if it is 55% of women, it is impossible for everyone to accept the values ​​in the film.

Here's the thing!

Obviously there is such a warm, handsome man who can support your career wholeheartedly by your side, why don't you just take it directly, and why do you have to flirt with those coquettish sluts?

The second "Demon Contract" was an animation work that received a very high response on the Internet before.

The main creative team is the best animation production studio in China, and has done outsourcing for many Hollywood animation works. The movie script is also adapted from the well-received domestic independent game of the same name.

In the domestic film and television circle where animation movies are in decline, it belongs to the kind of works with their own fans and trolls.

To be honest, the production of the adult-oriented animation work "Demon Contract" is very impressive. Whether it is character modeling, screen scenes, or fighting scenes and special effects, they have all reached the level of Disney and Pixar.

The stories told are also lively and interesting enough.

Unfortunately, the completion of the work is not high.

The theme of the film is based on the compromises and choices made by the demon fox who lives in human society in the face of the future of the entire demon clan and the conflicts between humans.

It can be seen that the director wants to reflect the contradiction between the two races, or the two classes, and whether the alien race can live in peace based on reason and kindness.

In the film, the director did a lot of discussion through the protagonist and supporting roles.

Unfortunately, the length of the film is limited.

The nearly two-hour movie cannot accommodate the director's ambition.

So much so that this film is in a state of twists and turns, neither expressing the theme it wants to express in depth, nor telling the story of the protagonist itself wonderfully.

Li Shixin's heart was bleeding when he saw that every frame could be used as the background of the desktop, and the cumbersome and chattering scenes under each frame.

With such a production standard, it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute!

Nima cut off the useless bridges in this film, at least ten million can be saved!

It's not enough to shoot three "As long as you love", but you can still have a small snack box lunch for 20 or 30 years!

What a waste, what a waste!

If the first two films made Li Shixin feel sorry, then "Snow Line Climbing", which had the biggest hit on October 1st, made Li Shixin feel bad.

This film is adapted from the novel of the same name by the famous writer A Qu.

In fact, this novel itself is based on the documentary literature "An Unknown Mount Everest Expedition". The story is based on the real history of the national mountaineering team's two summits of Mount Everest. An inspirational legend of national dignity.

The theme can be said to be very good.

In the National Day file, this kind of film with its own brilliant theme can be said to have its own box office buff.

And regardless of the script, just talking about the lineup, this film is thick enough.

The protagonists include domestic action superstars, Su Hao, who can't even be compared with Xu Ge when he was the most popular, Zhou Xiangnan, who is known as the little prince of the drama, and the pinnacle of mainland actresses who have won international awards and won soft hands. Zhang Ziyi, in addition to the three leading actors, the crew also assembled a large number of popular young actors and actresses.

According to the previous announcement, the film cost 80 million yuan just for the actors' remuneration.

As for this, it is still the result of the actors including the three protagonists cutting their salaries in the name of offering gifts to the country.

The theme is excellent, the actors are top-notch, the funds are abundant, and there are very few restrictions.

That's the movie.

But the resulting effect made Li Shixin's teeth hurt just looking at it.

The first flaw is the perfunctory production. Li Shixin is in the middle of the fourth row, the best place to watch movies. Originally, I wanted to appreciate the magnificent scenes and tens of millions of special effects in the promotional film. As a result, Li Shixin discovered a very awesome bug as soon as the actors started to appear on stage.

The mouth shape of the actor's lines, I'm sorry!

Nima's low-level mistakes, when Li Shixin took hundreds of thousands of dollars to shoot "Mobei", they could be avoided by the studio-level post-production team.

But here, something so gorgeous happened.

If it is a technical problem that the mouth shape does not match, Li Shixin also bears it. The key lies in the overall rhythm of the film, which made Li Shixin want to go to the toilet to spend the next hour and a half!

The theme of the film is climbing Zhufeng. At the beginning of the film, it directly showed the first climbing process in the form of a documentary, and Li Shixin was full of enthusiasm watching it. Just as Li Shixin was waiting for the next plot to push the film to a climax, the style of painting suddenly changed, and the members who climbed Zhufeng for the second time talked about their love gorgeously.

Little love sets off big love, Li Shixin endured it.

But just when he felt that the protagonists' love talks were over, and the big guys had a correct attitude and focused on climbing and conquering Zhufeng. Click, the protagonists start to make all kinds of mistakes because of their damn love.

Half an hour after turning the main theme of an inspirational movie into a literary and romantic drama, the director made a show again. For nonsensical reasons, he directly distributed lunch boxes to several characters who had previously occupied a large part of the plot.

After a few waves of forced sensationalism, half an hour later, the plot was brought back to the main topic, a few thrilling scenes were hastily given, and the finale was hurriedly reached.

After watching the entire two-hour movie, Li Shixin went directly to the bathroom with a sullen face to smoke a cigarette.

Thinking of the screenwriter and original author of the film, Mr. Aqu, who made a stand for the film on Weibo, blowing up the film, and praised the director Li Rengang, saying that "with strong personal characteristics, it presents a grand film that shocks the five senses." "Rainbow fart, Li Shixin stuffed the cigarette into his mouth silently.

If the movie wasn't for cheating money, Li Shixin couldn't think of any other explanation.

Where does this Nima tell a Hongda story that shocks the five senses with strong personal characteristics?

This is clearly the director's use of story techniques that he personally likes but everyone doesn't like, to qj the five senses of the audience, okay? !

A typical technical director, who is good at audio-visual language and short on screenwriting ability.

He has no grand narrative ability but is obsessed with grand narratives!

Drip drip.

In the toilet, Li Shixin's cell phone rang just as he spit out the cigarette holder into the toilet.

"@All Members, the real-time data on the first day of the National Day file has been updated;

"Shixin, it's starting! Hurry up, the audience is coming in!"

Just when Li Shixin was grinning, looking at the box office data, he was in pain, and felt deeply that "this is okay".

Outside the door, Zhang Yaozhong roared.

"coming!"

Lifting his pants, Li Shixin pushed open the door of the toilet, and took out the mask, wig and peaked cap in his pocket.

After arming himself to cover up, even An Xiaoxiao would never be able to tell it was him in person, Li Shixin followed his old fans back to the No. 1 screening room again.

At this point, admission has already begun.

Groups of Sand Sculpture fans who have been tortured out of context before are already in place!
