"Hurry up. The movie is about to start." Li Na urged.
"Don't panic. Even if the movie starts, we can book the whole place. Actually, this Golden Armor is similar to the story of The Banquet. "
Golden Armor is based on history, but it's still a historical drama.
Also, The Banquet is based on Hamlet, and there's also a thunderstorm in the plot, such as a love triangle. Golden Armor was simply adapted from Thunderstorm and placed in another part of history.
Feng Yu had watched both movies in his previous life and did not like them. But in this life, he will watch it again.
"How can it be the same? There's Brother Fa and Jay Chou in it."
Feng Yu rolled his eyes. "Are they as handsome as me?"
Li Na asked: "Do you know how to act in movies?"
Fine. Feng Yu really does not know how to act.
The movie is the same as in his previous life. The plot is predictable, and the scenes are still beautiful. It's not that the lead actor is not good enough, but after watching the movie, you will feel that something is missing.
Actually, this has nothing to do with how familiar the plot is. Everyone knows the plot of a movie based on a comic or a novel, but they still want to watch it.
Different directors have different ways of expressing themselves, and different actors have different ways of acting. This is what the fans are looking forward to. But this movie lacks a climax, and it's not satisfying enough.
Especially during the promotions. People are looking forward to it, but when they watch it, they realize that their expectations are not as good as reality.
Luckily, the schedule is good, the cast is strong, and the promotions are good, so this movie will not fail.
To avoid clashing with Golden Armor, the Banquet was adjusted to the National Day slot. It also set a new record for the National Day slot and was the annual box office champion. It's also Director Feng's best movie.
But the investment for The Banquet is 20 million USD, and the global box office is only 20 million USD. The overseas market's share is less than 30%. This means that this movie is losing money, and even if they sell the CD and online broadcasting rights, they will not be able to recoup their losses.
Feng Yu thinks that it's not because Director Feng is not a good director, but because everyone thinks Director Feng is a comedy director, and the best in the country.
In the end, this banquet wasn't funny at all. It made the audience feel very disappointed.
After the screening ended, Feng Yu received a call from Wang Zhongjun. Wang Zhongjun was glad that he had listened to Feng Yu and only invested a portion of the investment.
That way, although the movie would incur a lot of losses, the Huayi Brothers would not incur a lot of losses after the cost was shared with others. After all, they were the distributors, so they would get a lot of money too.
When Feng Yu and Li Na came out of the cinema, he turned his head and asked, "How was it? Did it look good?"
Li Na's expression was a little conflicted. "Those costumes are too weird. Did ancient people really wear them like that?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's another so-called artistic exaggeration. Don't ask me what artistic exaggeration is. I don't understand that word either. "
Because of this movie, the word "squeeze" would soon appear on the Internet.
If you don't have a chest, just squeeze it a little and you'll get one!
The whole city was filled with steamed buns.
There were also people calling for Hu Ge to come out again and introduce Mantou 2 again.
Frankly speaking, the plot of Golden Armor was slightly better than the Night Feast. Most of the time, it was easy for the audience to forget about the movie.
For example, Master Ge. It was not that he did not perform well. His eyes, expressions, and movements were all on point. But when the audience saw his face, they could not accept that he was an emperor.
This was what made an actor happy. The audience loved him and were very familiar with him. But at the same time, it was also a sad thing for an actor, because he was stereotyped.
"Do you think this movie's box office will be higher than the Night Feast?" Li Na had watched both movies. This movie might not be that much better.
"Yes. It is not only because this movie is distributed by our company, but also because it is adapted from a thunderstorm and has a historical label. This will be very attractive."
Hua Xia's ace drama adaptation was a good gimmick. Also, many people were curious about Hua Xia's history, and it was another gimmick.
Of course, the international popularity of an actor was also a factor. After all, Brother Fa was in Hollywood.
"Why do you think the box office of overseas movies are so high? Is it because our movie is not good? "Li Na was curious.
"First of all, the ticket prices of overseas movies are higher than in China. This is determined by the economic environment. The more developed a country is, the more people will spend on entertainment. "
"Secondly, the cultural difference makes many of our movies' stories difficult for foreigners to understand. Just those lines alone are very difficult to translate. Their movies' plots are relatively simple, and the audience can understand them easily. "
"Thirdly, our movies developed later than overseas, and many of our technologies are not as mature as overseas. The market is just starting to pick up, and many directors have not made any profitable movies before. "
Regarding this, the US had done a good job. They used simpler stories to spread their culture.
For example, the supremacy of love, heroism, family ethics, etc.
Most of the time, these ideas could not be thought about in detail. Once you think about it carefully, you will realize that many of these ideas are very funny. For this reason, they even deliberately came up with some controversial topics to stimulate the audience's spending.
For example, Saving Soldier Ryan. A few people risked their lives to save an old lady's son, but they died. Is the old lady's son a son, and these people are not their parents' children?
Is it really the right choice to use a few people's lives to exchange for one person's life? Didn't the US always claim that life is priceless?
Even if the order is right, why didn't the person who gave the order do it? Why did they send soldiers to die?
There are also a lot of romance movies saying that true love is priceless. What is true love? People can give up their families for true love. Isn't this against the concept of family in the US?
To put it bluntly, they are using movies to carry other people's emotions and let them be influenced by their emotions and forget about the unreasonable parts.
Many of the current domestic movies are not clear enough, and they do not know what kind of people their movies are suitable for. How can they attract the audience if they do not promote their movies?
Also, he always had to make so many deep meanings, saying things like 'you don't understand my movies. We do not understand your movies, and you are still so proud? We are here to entertain ourselves, not to burn our brains, and not to explore the inner heart of human nature.
Seeing Li Na's disappointment, Feng Yu comforted her. "It's okay. Our movies will get better in the future. I promise."
