Chapter 684 Film preparation, storyboard production, props, and scenery start(2/2)
Jia Haochen has been marketing his character as "The Youngest Mr. Billionaire".
It’s scary to say that, a movie actor with a box office of 10 billion.
However, if you analyze it carefully, you will find that among Jia Haochen's tens of billions in box office, only one film, "The Frozen Warriors", was a hit, and it was also a hit.
The rest of the movies are add-ons.
It's not that the role in the third series does not count as an achievement, but it does not prove the ability to handle the box office.
The ability to handle box office sales is a very special topic in the film industry.
It is somewhat similar to the ability to carry drama in TV dramas.
However, carrying dramas and carrying box office are actually not on the same level.
Relatively speaking, it is much less difficult to carry a drama.
It often happens that a sweet pet online drama becomes popular, and then the lead actor becomes popular and becomes a new hot commodity.
Even if a drama can become popular with three or four actors, all of them can become traffic, and the fans are so crazy that they dominate the hot searches every day.
However, when these popular stars go to film movies, 99% of them will be splashed with nothing at all.
The reason is that to support a drama, you only need to be popular and have fans. Fans don’t need to spend too much money and can only open a membership at most.
However, movies are different. Audiences have to pay real money to buy tickets to watch them.
If a movie is too bad, it will only consume the personal box office appeal of the director and actors.
TV series are different. If they are not good to watch, then watch another one. Anyway, the membership will not be wasted, and the entire website will not have nothing to watch.
Therefore, it is much more difficult to support the box office. It is impossible to support just a few crazy fans.
The film industry has also seen clearly that if it relies solely on fans, the box office will basically be capped at 500 million.
If you want a higher box office, you have to work hard and gain box office appeal.
What is box office appeal?
Fang Xing made two movies, "Crazy Stone" and "Infernal Affairs", among which he won the Golden Cup Best Actor Award for "Infernal Affairs".
Not only that, during the Spring Festival, an animated movie "Nezha" with a box office of 4.5 billion was released.
Now, Fang Xing is going to make his third movie.
When the audience saw Fang Xing's name, they thought about it. With the reputation of "Crazy Stone" and "Infernal Affairs" and the Golden Boiler Award for Best Actor, they had to give it a try, right?
Even if the new movie is a science fiction film and is not favored by the industry, you still want to watch it. Even if it doesn't work, you will accept it.
This is box office appeal.
Box office appeal is a comprehensive reflection of the reputation of past works.
Not just movies.
Fang Xing also has more than a dozen TV series such as "White Nights", "Mountains and Seas", and "Nirvana in Fire". Many of the viewers of these TV series are potential movie viewers.
In addition to the general audience, there is another audience group that is the most difficult to attract, and that is science fiction fans.
Science fiction fans, as a group, have a more complete scientific worldview and stronger logical thinking ability than ordinary viewers. They will frown when they see plots that are not scientific.
This audience group is the most difficult group for science fiction movies to attract.
A large part of the audience for science fiction movies is this group.
…
After the official announcement of "The Wandering Earth", there is a lot of relevant information on the Internet.
The movie setting and plot summary of "The Wandering Earth" can be found online.
Therefore, as long as netizens are willing to look it up, they can find out what kind of story "The Wandering Earth" is.
The most critical content is to use 10,000 planetary engines to push the earth out of the solar system.
Regarding this topic, after the hot search on the topic "The Wandering Earth", the debate was very intense.
[Use an engine to push the earth and fly out of the solar system? This is a good idea. I wanted to see it immediately.]
[As a science fiction fan, I finally came across a great idea. There is a question: Do humans really have the ability to push the earth out of the solar system? 】
[I wonder if the crew has calculated whether the earth can fly out of the solar system?]
[Personally, I think it doesn’t matter whether it can be done or not. What science fiction requires is this kind of scientific fantasy thinking. 】
[Although it is Fang Xing’s new movie, and I liked the previous two movies very much, I still don’t like domestic science fiction movies. I have been deceived too many times.]
[Indeed, what were the sci-fi movies in the past? They were either comedies disguised as science fiction, superhero movies disguised as science fiction, or simply bad movies. I was tricked into entering the cinema several times before.
, I think it’s better to forget it. Chinese people can’t make science fiction movies.]
[I don’t understand why Fang Xing doesn’t continue to make comedies or suspense films. I think he is good at making these two themes. Whether it is "Crazy Stone" or "Infernal Affairs", there will be direct sequels, even if they are not as good as the previous ones.
, I will also pay the bill.】
[Is it possible that it is actually a science fiction comedy? If you watch "Crazy Stone" and remake it into "Crazy Alien", maybe it will be good. 】
[Can you please stop being so pessimistic? What if Fang Xing can create a miracle? Anyway, so far, his movies and TV series have not been spared. If he can really make a good science fiction film, it will be regarded as a milestone in the history of Chinese film.
A milestone.]
[The people above are too optimistic. How about giving me an example, which domestic science fiction film can become a classic? 】
When netizens and audiences are discussing "The Wandering Earth".
Ark Culture has officially announced another project, the TV series "The Three-Body Problem".
It's also a science fiction theme.
If science fiction movies are already an unpopular subject in China, then science fiction TV series simply...do not have this subject matter.
Excluding TV dramas that are not very sci-fi, such as love through time and space, and time-space suspense dramas. Indeed, there are basically no sci-fi TV dramas that can be named.
Therefore, when Ark Culture officially announced the science fiction TV series "The Three-Body Problem", netizens were even more confused.
[Is Fang Xing so crazy? How come he is related to science fiction? Even if he makes a science fiction movie, there is at least a slight possibility of miracles. Is there any science fiction TV series with this theme in China? 】
[It’s really strange. Are there any domestic science fiction TV series with good ratings? 】
["Finding You Through Time and Space", and "My Love from the Sun", science fiction TV series.]
[Upstairs, are you sure these two are not idol romance dramas? 】
[After reading the introduction to "The Three-Body Problem", there is one thing to say. At least the introduction is science fiction. The term "Three-Body" refers only to the system of three stars. According to current scientific research, the three-body problem has no solution. Three stars
Stars move irregularly. If you only talk about this knowledge point, it is indeed science fiction.】
[Starting two projects at the same time, both of which are science fiction themes, there should be something interesting, right? 】
[Inside information, our professor of astronomy at Eastern University of Science and Technology has already gone to work as a consultant for Fang Xing, so it shouldn’t be too confusing.]
