As of November 29, the box office of "Fame and Fame" exceeded 609 million in the 18 days of release, becoming a proper box office dark horse this year. The production cost of this film is reported to be less than 6000w, according to the current sub-account (cat's eye data), the film can be divided into 208 million. If it reaches 764 million before the release, the sub-account box office will reach 263 million, and the film can get several times the return.
The film didn't really perform particularly well on its release day, selling only 11.77 million in the first 6 hours, but the film's box office movement continued to be strong from the next day. The box office broke through 50 million on Saturday, and on Sunday, it achieved a reverse decline, and it opened a super high score of 7.7, 9.3 and 9.1 points on the three platforms of Douban, Maoyan and Taobao, which is also the best rated non-main theme movie in the second half of this year, becoming the first cold box office dark horse this year.
In the past month, the market has continued to explore the bottom, and the amazing results of the small-cost domestic film "Yang Ming Liwan" in this "cold period" seem to have brought a touch of warmth and hope to the industry.
While achieving a win-win at the word-of-mouth box office, it also carried out those things in the film and television circle...
Lu Ziye planned to make a bloody case into a movie, but he was shy, so as his name suggested, he took a very wild road.
First of all, he gave everything he had and took down the scene of the bloody crime as a filming location for the real scene.
Then he invited a group of frustrated and dead filmmakers who were pinched by him to brainstorm and write the script behind closed doors.
What is even more wild is that he also uses extraordinary means to make the murderer of the case and the small policeman who arrested the murderer personally stand at the meeting.
In addition, the meeting was videotaped throughout, claiming to leave a complete video.
And Lu Ziye's purpose in engaging in these things is one: to create gimmicks, so that "the French Concession can take investment." ”
To put it bluntly, it is a routine investor, which should also be a true portrayal of many filmmakers in reality.
Of course, there are also those who do not engage in gimmicks, do not routine, and carry their own burdens, just like "Wuhai" released in October, director Zhou Ziyang himself made films on his own online loans.
However, the ending is very sad, because of the poor performance at the box office, seeing that more than 20 online loans cannot be repaid, the director had to send a text to ask his father to tell his grandmother.
"Lu Xiucai" Yu Entai plays the director Zheng Qianli, known as the king of bad films.
When Liu Xunzimo was a guest of Yang Liu, he bluntly said that the prototype of the role was Wang Jing, but he was paying tribute.
Wang Jing has indeed produced a lot of "bad films".
However, in Wang Jing's own words, the so-called "rotten" is just a different angle or insufficient precipitation of time.
Moreover, in the mid-1990s, affected by multiple elements such as the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, the Great Depression of Hong Kong films, many practitioners did not say filming, and even eating became a problem.
It is he, the director of bad films, who insists on starting to shoot dramas, and even has a record of 24 films per year. It may be an exaggeration to say that he saved Hong Kong movies, but it is an indisputable fact that he saved the jobs of many filmmakers.
More importantly, incomplete statistics, So far Wang Jing has nearly 300 works, which can be regarded as the existence of the director's ceiling. Why did he make so many films? Are investors blind? Obviously not, because he doesn't lose investors' money.
In other words, Wang Jing finds a balance between the audience, filmmakers, and investors, can be compatible with each other, and can go on for a long time, which may be the real reason why "Fame and Fame" pays tribute to him.
In this sense, for a director like Bi Zhifei, who is famous for "Pursuing Dreams of Showbiz" and has recently remade the short story "Spring in a Small Town" and has also been sprayed, he may not have to be too harsh, maybe he also has his "rotten".
What qualities should a popular movie have? Director Zheng Qianli's answer is: there must be "two ends".
That is, "fist" and "pillow", that is, to have a hot blood action scene and an indispensable emotional line.
In his view, this is the only magic weapon for movies to win the box office, even if it is bloody and serious like the "Three Old Cases".
In fact, this is also the standard configuration of most movies today, especially the Net University. To a large extent, this is also the favorite of many viewers, which is the need to cater to each other. "Fame and Fame" is just a joke from director Zheng Da.
Interestingly, it also implies a similar drama. It's not a slap in the face, it's a hard market reality.
When Zheng Qianli expressed his "fist", the most excited person was Chen Xiaoda, played by Kodak, because he claimed to be a martial arts star who returned from Hollywood.
In fact, he was just a wu ti who was often beaten into a pig's head, and he pulled the big flag of returnees to scare people.
Now that the information is developed, this kind of personal operation naturally does not work, but many movies are still carrying out the same routine.
Typical is that foreign exhibitors are gilded, strive for a nomination, it is best to win, and then take this aura and return to China to hype, so as to raise their own value and attract the audience.
There are many movies that operate in this way, so I will not list them all here.
However, in the past, the audience ate this set, the moves are still quite effective, but it seems that it is not fragrant now, anyway, one or two of the recently released films, the word of mouth box office are miserable.
In the movie, the down-and-out screenwriter Lee Ka-fai, played by Yin Zheng, is incompatible with Zheng Qianli, because the film cooperated with Zheng Director did not sign his name. What he is obsessed with is the right of authorship!
During the Republic of China period, the weight of the screenwriter's signature was not important, but it was quite noisy now.
In 2020, the fire's "The Hidden Corner" became a defendant because of the writer's authorship.
In 2019, "The Biography of Mi Yue", starring Sun Li, also resorted to law due to an attribution dispute with the original author.
In 2016, Liu Yunlong's "Kite" was also boiling over because of a poster involving the issue of the writer's attribution rights.
Earlier, "No War in Peking" and "Golden Wedding" have also been involved in the dispute over the signature of screenwriters.
On December 31, 2020, there was an outbreak of Song Jinfang and 156 other screenwriters jointly resisting the indiscriminate signature of inferior screenwriters.
Although the screenwriter in the film is not signed is another hidden feeling, but it does not affect it reflects the problem of the screenwriter's signature in reality, it is related to reputation and interests, and no one can ignore it.
Guan Jingnian, a big star in the silent film period. At the time when he was hot and the spring breeze was triumphant, Zheng Qianli was just a small field worker, and even once he was beaten by Guan Daxing because the sound of the board was too loud. The degree of redness is evident.
However, after entering the movie, Guan Jingnian became an outcast of the times, and every day was to accompany Mrs. Kuo to play cards to earn some money, and she was familiar with the mixed face, so she became the object of ridicule and ridicule by Zheng Qianli and others.
Although bitterness overflowed the screen, Guan Jingnian still had to swallow his breath and smile with people.
Although Yang Haoyu, who is known as "Little Ge You", has good acting skills, for a moment, I still have a very unkind appearance in front of me...
"Little Aunt" Deng Jiajia transformed herself this time and became a female star Su Mengdi, who raised her hands and threw her hands into a wonderful and colorful way, wearing a cheongsam with a variety of styles, but what could not hide was her bumpy and sad back road.
From a simple person to a small actor to a star, from obscurity to a small reputation, and even chased the dream to Hong Kong for a big star, and finally the dream was shattered, only to return to the country.
In order to make a living, he had to grit his teeth and stand firm, showing his bright and beautiful appearance, even if Lu Ziye made an unobstructed advertisement, he directly unveiled her bloody scars.
What appears under the camera is that Su Mengdi is frozen in tears on the stairs.
Shen Mengdi in the Republic of China period was like this, and how many actresses are there today?
Anyway, a few years ago, Hong ru Haiqing had to publicly appeal, hoping that the director would give him the opportunity to act, and the situation of others could be imagined. People are bright in front of people, and bitter after people, which should also be the cruel reality of the film and television circle.
There is a line in the movie: Kung Fu is outside the play.
The meaning of the play is to imply that the actress does not follow the right path, but relies on the side door that can only be understood.
In fact, the events of night reading scripts and exchanging acting skills that broke out a few years ago should be a realistic version of this statement suspected.
Of course, today's situation is complex, not limited to this, but also involves capital, flow and other factors.
Even, it can be understood as another positive literal meaning: outside the play, you need to study and practice acting skills diligently.
No matter what it means, "Fame and Fame" ridiculed out, as to how to understand, it is evil, all depends on your cognition.
There are film critics at the beginning of the film, and there are film critics at the end, without exception, all of which mention the problem of "managing the meal or not".
Such a setting itself is the need to advance the story, but it has been mentioned twice, and it has to be said that there is naturally an innuendo after the joke.
Although film criticism is a personal perception, it should be objective, but once it involves car and horse expenses, management of meals, etc., the objectivity of this has to be doubtful, after all, it is soft to eat people's mouths short.
What's more, a large part of the so-called film critics are themselves only promotional penmen, and have long become professional players who are "managed to eat".
In the recent controversy of "Director Please Advise", a group of film critics are noisy and dangling... Tearing the director, tearing the producer, tearing the audience, grabbing the scene and robbing it. It's hard not to believe that they're being?
"I'm sorry, I'm a cop."
When Liang Chaowei said the classic line to Andy Lau in "Infernal Affairs" and the sea played by Qin Xiaoxian in "Fame and Fame", many people laughed.
Similarly, "Fame and Fame" also uses the lines and bridges of classic movies such as "The Shining", "Kung Fu", and "Shameless Bastard".
In addition to the tribute, it is somewhat spoofed. The audience laughed, proving that the use was quite silky.
The "Detective Chinatown" series, which is also a suspense comedy, has also paid tribute to and spoofed nostalgic songs such as "the past can only be recalled" and "Pink Memories", among which Wang Baoqiang's dancing with shirtless cowboys has become a classic.
These nostalgic homage pranks are appropriate or even classic, but some are hard and bad, completely rubbing feelings, such as... Forget it, it is not worth mentioning, it is better to praise the ridicule of "Fame and Fame".
The wonderful thing about "Fame and Fame" is that the story is covered with a story, and the case is covered with the suspense of the case; Deng Jiajia, Yin Zheng, Qi Leshan, Yu Entai, a group of comedy stars got together to act in a "not funny" movie, but the case in the guise of "script killing" was repeated. In addition to the fun plot and the reversal of high energy, there are also powerful actors who perform just right.
Each character in this play, either in name or for profit, comes to the appointment. Although they are all unhappy in society, all kinds of strange costumes and ugly, but under the masks of all kinds of ugly, there is a heart with conscience, so their final transformation from all the evil people to all the good people is not abrupt.
Compared with other traffic Internet celebrities, no plot, no acting skills, no content movies, "Yang Ming Liwan" can be regarded as a qualified suspense domestic film, the whole story line is arranged in an orderly manner, one light and one dark, after watching it, it is still more and more flavorful, although the cost of this movie is only 60 million, but the quality it gives can indeed make the audience buy it. At the same time, it is also expected that more and more niche boutiques will be put on the screen.
