Chapter 211 The school beauty who goes to theater
The themes of movies with domestic box office exceeding 1 billion are limited. Only war, science fiction, youth, costume, and comedy have the potential to exceed 1 billion in box office.
In today's time, there are even fewer themes that can exceed one billion in box office.
War-themed movies are almost unworkable. Western civilization has not yet exorcised its charms. Apple mobile phones are highly sought after in China. Nowadays, people shouting: "China is awesome" have no market at all. Leading the way party organization Netizens trashed Lin Gao’s Weibo.
The war theme requires official cooperation. The cycle of a movie requires at least three months or more. After the post-production, review, and publicity process, it has long missed the Spring Festival schedule.
The science fiction film Guo Fan is producing, but the schedule is unknown.
Given the size of the current film market, there is zero chance that a youth film will exceed one billion in box office. As for costume films, they have already been badly made in Hong Kong.
[Flying Swords of Dragon Gate], a collaboration between director Tsui Hark and Huayi, almost represents the pinnacle of martial arts movies, with blessings from Jet Li, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun, but the final box office results were also Only 540 million, which is even less than 50 million less than Lin Gao's suspense movie "The Guest".
Although Wang Zhongjun expressed satisfaction in front of the media, his true thoughts in his heart are unknown.
Is the sky-high salary offered to Jet Li really for 590 million yuan?
The repayment of the film's cost is probably a problem.
There was only one option left: comedy themes. Lin Gao divided the comedy themes into three categories. One category was Star Master's Zhou Entertainment, and the remaining two were "Mermaid" and "Journey to the West".
Lin Gao chose to give up. [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] and [Westward Journey] are plot-connected, and the movie style of [Mermaid] is very outstanding, leaving some pension for [Master Xing].
The second category is Xu Zheng and Ning Hao’s black humor movies, which are mainly road-themed and add adventure, beauty, and freedom to the fresh and refreshing road art films.
The box office performance can only be described as "stable". Ning Hao's movie revenue will never be bad, but it is still far from a hit.
The third category, domestic comedy representative company, Happy Twist, starting from "Charlotte Troubles", to "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Shy Iron Fist", "Walking Alone on the Moon", etc. have steadily exceeded one billion.
The style focuses on entertainment. It is less charming than Zhou's comedy and less literary than Ning Hao's comedy. It entertains you to death.
But in the face of increasing social pressure today, movie fans do not need preaching, literature and art, they only need a hearty laugh to release stress.
Lin Gao finally decided to film "Charlotte's Trouble".
The quality of "Charlotte's Sorrow" is higher than that of "The Richest Tomato", and it has contributed many famous memes after its release.
Dashachun's: "Teacher Wang, do you think my shoes are good?"
Yuan Hua's You Tide Hailing Yijianmei.
What kind of plum is Ma?
Qiu Ya's: "Don't call me, I'm afraid Xia Luo will misunderstand"... Many classic second creations.
After Lin Gao made up his mind, he went to Linye Entertainment the next day, threw the script to Wei Lianlian, and informed her to be responsible for the subsequent progress.
Wei Lianlian held the script in his hand and said: "Brother Lin, you have too many ideas. Before the filming of the previous film and television project started, another one came. The company's manpower did not have enough time to transfer two projects at the same time!"
Lin Gao patted his forehead and said: "Let's put the project of [Tang Detective] on hold first, and shoot [Charlotte Troubles] first. A film and television company must have a movie with a box office of one billion to support it."
< br>"Huh?" Wei Lianlian's delicate little face was full of surprise: "Can this movie be worth one billion?"
Lin Gao rarely boasts when the results are announced, and Wei Lianlian was the first After hearing Lin Gao's prediction for the first time, I subconsciously chose to believe it.
“If a director puts my name on it, the box office can exceed one billion.” Lin Gao said with a smile.
This is not to say that Lin Gao is arrogant. Lin Gao now has top box office appeal. A movie directed by Lin Gao and starring in it can attract some fans to pay, and he already has some die-hard fans. "Okay." Wei Lianlian nodded happily, "I'm going to set up the project now, arrange the venue, and select actors."
After Wei Lianlian finished speaking, he turned around and stepped on his high heels. leave.
What Wei Lianlian said about the selection of actors is to select important supporting roles and supporting roles. For example, Lin Gao personally selected the leading role and supporting roles. This is undoubtedly a torture for Lin Gao who has difficulty in choosing.
The role of Yuan Hua, Lin Gao wanted to give to his classmate and roommate Li Jiahang.
Li Jiahang and Yin Zheng have similar styles. They are both handsome clowns and naturally funny.
Lin Gao had a chat with Li Jiahang.
"Mr. Lin, you are looking for me." Li Jiahang's posture was reserved. With the success of Lin Gao's career, they were not as close as they were three years ago. Li Jiahang would always feel awkward in front of Lin Gao.
"We are the only two in the office, so don't be so unfamiliar. Let's call you Lao Lin." Lin Gao felt a little emotional, "I have a new movie coming out, and there is a character in it that is very suitable for you."< br>
“Huh?” Li Jiahang looked surprised, “I thought you were telling me about the class reunion.”
"Class reunion?" Lin Gao was stunned at first, and then quickly reacted, "If you don't remind me today, I will forget."
Tonight is the first anniversary gathering of the 10th class of drama students. Chen Chichi said earlier that he agreed, but he forgot.
"Let's talk about the movie first. The scenes are moderate, but the roles are funny. Are you interested?"
"Funny?" Li Jiahang frowned, "Old Lin, I want to transform, Zhang Wei's The role has been assigned to me as a funny character, and I don’t want to be funny all my life.”
“This movie can earn over 1 billion at the box office,” Lin Gao said lightly.
Li Jiahang showed hesitation, "1 billion movies is a very good resume!"
Lin Gao continued: "The company will focus on comedy movies in the future, and five comedy movies will be born in the future."
"I was born to be funny, and I was born for comedy! "Li Jiahang said sonorously and forcefully.
Good guys, as long as the money is in place, you will be flying on the road of fun!
Lin Gao chatted with Li Jiahang for a while. After it got dark, Lin Gao took Li Jihang's car to the class reunion hotel.
Chen Chichi was the initiator of the class reunion. His purpose was to strengthen the status of the Shanghai Opera students in Lin Gao's mind, and to strengthen his status in the minds of the Shanghai Opera students. The effect is good now.
"Brother Chen, you are now very popular, a big star in the entertainment industry."
"Yes, I told my mother that my classmate was Chen Chichi, and they were very surprised. "
Chen Chichi waved his hand and said, "It was Brother Lin who gave me the opportunity, otherwise I would be no different from everyone else."
Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking the same thing in their hearts. of.
"Chen Chichi, you said Mr. Lin will come, didn't you lie to everyone?"
Everyone looked at the person who made the sound, big clear waves poured down, the bright red lipstick was charming, and he was wearing a white shirt It highlights your figure and has a fresh fragrance.
Jiang Shuying, the beauty of the theater school, the turtle female graduate student!
