Chapter 1336

For a long period of time, Chinese-language films were "bad money driving out good money," and hiring a few traffic stars could harvest a large amount of box office.

However, to this day, this model has been completely declared dead by the market. Traffic and box office poison have been completely linked. If you want to use hyped-up fans to fool the audience again.

You have to see how many mothers the crew and production side have for the fans to spray.

And once you disgust everyone to a certain extent, everyone in the crew will be recorded, and maybe it will be retribution in the next movie.

This also makes actors and directors have to start cherishing their feathers.

In the past, the environment was not as extreme as it is now. Many actors liked to film some human-favor movies, knowing that they were rotten movies, they would still film them, and after filming, they would call on fans to be deceived, which is truly disgusting.

Now if you do this again, after fans and passersby are deceived once, you won't be able to make up for it even if you film five good movies.

Feng Chao is the best example. Originally, relying on the Golden Rooster Best Actor, he could call the wind and rain among the middle-aged male actors.

He insisted on filming comedy movies, and filmed several in a row, all of which were ridiculously rotten.

Over the years, he directly stunk up his reputation.

So much so that the serious films he filmed later had no one to watch.

This is a typical case of not cherishing feathers, and like the previous Happy Twist, they all belong to tainted artists who have been on the fans' blacklist.

Originally, Gao Liang was also going to be marked with this sign.

However, "Tiny Times," which should have been criticized, actually made fans feel realistic and attractive after its release, which is truly ironic.

If this movie had been released a few years earlier, the high-end dresses, gorgeous villas, and exaggerated makeup and styling that filled it would definitely have been criticized by the media as money-worshiping, and then reduced to the rottenest of rotten movies with incorrect buttocks.

But the movie was released last year, and the situation was completely different.

There is nothing new in the Internet age. Good things may not go out, but bad things will definitely spread thousands of miles.

A few negative news can make the stereotypes of a certain region spread throughout the country.

And what is the stereotype of Shanghai? Of course, it is drunken gold and fans.

So the content in "Tiny Times" also changed from exaggerated to realistic.

Many people even feel that what is shown in the movie is actually just the tip of the iceberg of the world of the rich.

Do you think the rich just wear all kinds of sky-high luxury clothes and drive supercars to parties everywhere?

Wrong, the rich play much more fancy than you imagine.

There is Lolita Island abroad, and the human feast in China is not much worse. No one should talk about anyone.

It's just that the impact of relevant news is not big enough to spread internationally.

If you want to see the tip of the iceberg, just go to a few of the biggest and hottest nightclubs and walk around a few times, and you will know that it is all exciting programs.

And this is even the lowest end.

So the so-called drunken gold and fans, the so-called money-worshiping in "Tiny Times," in the eyes of today's netizens, is really okay. The main line is actually still a few sisters tearing each other apart and making up, and the sublimation at the end is quite positive.

As for Gao Liang, his persona in it is a paralyzed domineering president, and he just needs to be responsible for being handsome.

And in terms of being handsome, no one in the world understands it better than him.

So relevant film reviews all say that he performed perfectly and added a lot of color to the whole movie.

Originally, Miss Luo Quan wanted to use "Tiny Times" to let Gao Liang suffer a loss and gain some wisdom.

Who knew that this movie actually made his account gain a lot of fans, which was completely unintentional.

But the good news is that Gao Liang recently accepted another super big rotten movie that is destined to be sprayed to the sky—"The Great Wall."

A story about a foreigner coming to China to save the world. Just these few words are already dancing on the minefield of the Chinese people.

Can this be filmed without being sprayed? Miss Luo Quan doesn't believe it anyway.

After all, Chinese people saving the world are sprayed by their own people. If you, a foreigner, come to save the Chinese people, wouldn't you be sprayed even worse?

She couldn't think of a reason for Gao Liang to survive, unless she went over to change the script temporarily like "The Wolf of Wall Street."

Miss Luo Quan really thought about this possibility, and even conceived a plan for it, which was to move the story of "The Great Wall" to modern times.

In 2099, the Earth suddenly encountered an invasion by an alien civilization.

This civilization opened space-time wormholes in the ocean and underground, sending large numbers of monsters from them to attack human kingdoms.

The monsters that came out of the ocean were very huge, while the monsters that came out of the underground were extremely numerous.

And in order to resist these monsters, humans could only build high walls to resist. In China, these high walls are also called the Great Wall.

The protagonist of the story is a foreigner who just retired from the Pacific battlefield.

The so-called Pacific battlefield was a great war between humans and alien monsters that happened a few years ago.

In order to resist the huge ocean monsters, humans not only built high walls but also built huge human mechas.

These human mechas are controlled by several people together, hundreds of meters high, with infinite power.

However, the specific details of this battle are the prequel to "The Great Wall."

"The Great Wall" wants to tell the story of the male lead coming to China and controlling a small mecha on the high wall to fight underground monsters.

After changing the settings to this, even if the subsequent plot is the same as "The Great Wall," no one will ever scold it again.

Because this is no longer a simple foreigner saving the Chinese people, but more focused on describing the community of shared future for mankind, and the pattern has suddenly gone up.

Do you still need to pay attention to race or nationality at this time?

The answer is obvious.

Everyone must pay more attention to the battle between mechas and monsters. As long as the special effects are explosive enough, the mechas are cool enough, and the battle scenes are hot-blooded enough, then the fans can be satisfied to pay for tickets.

If the lead actors arrange a few handsome men and beautiful women with good reputation, and come with some welfare shots from time to time, such as Alice wearing a cheongsam to fight in "Resident Evil," the topicality is absolutely full.

Miss Luo Quan feels that as long as these items are done in place, it doesn't matter if the movie plot is a bit dog-blooded.

What is a dog-blooded plot?

Of course, it is the female lead who doesn't look at the decadent male lead with PTSD after the war at first.

But the male lead is actually not a waste, but a combat power explosion, just tired of fighting because of the sacrifice of his companions.

But on the Great Wall, he saw again the tragic death of humans for the sake of defending their homes, so his fighting spirit was rekindled, and he decided to do his best to protect the Earth, and saved the female lead who was about to die in battle.

Then it is the classic plot of beauty falling in love with heroes and working together to save the world.

Add a funny person plus the best wingman fat man, a paralyzed male supporting actor who has a crush on the female lead and is not right with the male lead but is likely to save the male lead with his life in the final battle, plus a senior officer who uses his life to wake up the male lead's fighting spirit.

With such a character relationship structure, it is basically enough to make a movie clear.

Add some funny and ridiculous popcorn plots in the middle, and the rest can be completely left to the prop team and special effects team.

A movie for two hours, most of the content is used to fight monsters, the whole world unites to fight monsters, and then interspersed with a little love story between the male and female leads.

This is the script draft formulated by Miss Luo Quan.

Dog-blooded is indeed dog-blooded, because if you search through the history of movies, there are eight thousand such scripts, maybe the details will be different, but the process is basically copying.

But dog-blooded does not mean rotten, but because it has appeared too many times, it will make the audience feel easy to guess and a bit tired.

However, it is precisely because it is classic enough that it appears so many times.

Who would imitate a bad plot?

Actually, how many movies want to make the plot development more dog-blooded but can't do it, because the screenwriter and director always feel that they have great ability, just want to get some plots that the public can't guess, but finally messed it up, appearing rotten to the sky.

So Miss Luo Quan never does these fancy things.

If it is a literary film, the plot can of course be imaginative, after all, it is to win an award, and dog-blooded means walking the old path of others.

And if it is a commercial film, the plot must be as stable as possible.

Because most fans come to watch commercial films for fun, the plot is secondary, the key is whether it can make the audience feel cool.

Of course, if a commercial special effects film can really make a brain-burning plot like a suspense film, it can of course be the icing on the cake.

But if you don't grasp the degree, it's easy to go off-topic.

After all, the theme of "The Great Wall" is here, a sci-fi film about fighting monsters and saving the world. If fighting monsters doesn't make the audience feel cool, then the movie is likely to flop.

Therefore, weakening the plot and strengthening the special effects is something that this type of movie must do.

However, many special effects films now don't understand this, and they have to engage in depth in popcorn movies, forcing the audience to think.

The audience thinks I've come to watch a fun movie, why do I have to use my brain to think about so many philosophical questions?

Isn't this spending money to find suffering? Damn, must give a bad review!

This is also the reason why Hollywood special effects blockbusters often become special effects rotten movies.

The director doesn't have this consciousness, taking the task of fun, and has to film some deep content, putting the cart before the horse.

From the current situation, "The Great Wall" is very easy to go on such a crooked road.

And it is not just the cart before the horse in the plot, but also the clothing, settings, actors, and special effects are all a bit stretched.

Before Gao Liang came back, he had been filming in Hengdian for a week.

However, because several actors had accidents, filming was suspended.

According to the situation described by Gao Liang, "The Great Wall" movie is likely to be the same as the previous life, and will flop so much that even its mother won't recognize it.

At first, Miss Luo Quan wanted to let her younger brother suffer a loss and let him know the viciousness of the domestic film market.

But seeing that Chinese sci-fi films are at a critical moment of imminent rise, "The Wandering Earth 1 and 2" are not performing well, and investors are also interested in this type.

If a few more special effects films that make big money appear next, it will definitely attract a large amount of capital to enter.

At that time, if there is more investment, you can set up a large number of special effects production equipment, cultivate a large number of special effects industry talents, and accumulate relevant experience.

And these will also become the cornerstone of the future Chinese film industry.

This is also something that Director He has always wanted her to do.

"The Wandering Earth" made a good start. Although it was fiercely blocked by "Shanghai Fortress" during the period, the bad influence was not particularly great.

Later, "Prehistoric" injected a stimulant. Next, as long as another blockbuster appears, the capital that is still watching is estimated to be unable to hold back.

As long as there is money, many things will get better.

But judging from the current situation of "The Great Wall," a huge investment of nearly 150 million US dollars, so many stars, and such a large publicity effort.

If it finally flops and loses everything, I don't know how many investors will be scared away.

At that time, the label of high risk and unstable returns will definitely be firmly printed on the forehead of special effects blockbusters, making every capital that wants to invest weigh it.

Although this is a fact, if the general environment is good, the profit-seeking capital may be able to forget this point.

And a new successful special effects blockbuster is the key to creating a good environment.

So Miss Luo Quan feels that from the future development of the national film industry, "The Great Wall" must not flop. If it flops, the door to special effects blockbusters can only wait for "The Wandering Earth 3" to work hard.

After all, her own "Prehistoric," who knows when it will be finished.

As a warm-hearted person who likes to start from the overall situation, Miss Luo Quan feels that things that pit her younger brother can be done later, but it is better to let "The Great Wall" survive.

Of course, she is not a Bodhisattva and cannot save it at any cost. At most, she just makes some suggestions.

If the "The Great Wall" side is willing to change according to her suggestions, then they can talk in detail later.

If they are unwilling, then don't blame her. Outsiders can't stop them from seeking death themselves.

However, this matter definitely cannot be discussed directly with the "The Great Wall" crew. If you tell others your ideas, it is basically equivalent to pointing at the nose of the producer and saying: Your plan is garbage from beginning to end. If you don't change it to mine, you will definitely die.

Any producer, director, or screenwriter with a bit of temper will definitely not give her a good face.

Not scolding her directly belongs to those with relatively high quality.

So this matter must involve a third party.

And Director He, who is concerned about the future of domestic films, of course became the best candidate.

Let him understand the situation, and after comparing it with her own plan, he will know how to make a choice.

And he has status and qualifications, and is also an old acquaintance with the leader of "The Great Wall" crew. If he speaks, "The Great Wall" side may not be so exclusive.

As long as they are not told that the proposal to change the script was put forward by herself, "The Great Wall" side might even thank her in the end.

Thinking of it, she started doing it. Miss Luo Quan immediately sent the sequel to "Pacific Rim," "Ring Great Wall," to Director He's mailbox.

However, before waiting for a reply, Miss Luo Quan saw an extra file about variety shows in her mailbox.

It was sent to her by an internal employee of the company. Someone at Bilibili wanted to make a variety show called "Where Are We Going, Mom?"

Because they couldn't make up their minds, they specifically sent it over to ask her about the situation.
