The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 244 How Much Does This Guy Know About Women?
Qixi Festival happens to be Saturday.

Therefore, "War Garland" and "Savage Senior Sister", which proudly occupied the top two films, lived up to the high expectations of the theaters, and both broke through 5000 million at the box office on the first day;
On Sunday, the box office fell, but they both took in just over 4000 million.

Among them, the former leads the latter with a slight box office advantage; however, compared to the close box office results, the word-of-mouth of the two films can be said to be very different.

At least, even film critics who have always been picky about movie sequels generally prefer "Savage Senior Sister", a movie that ingeniously sets the development of the story between Yin and Yang, and subtly blends comedy elements into tragedy.

Most ordinary viewers prefer the sometimes joyful and sometimes sad story rhythm, and the ending that is ingeniously connected with "Sassy Girl".

Director Liang Guanyi has received unanimous praise-compared to Zhuang Geng who filmed "Sassy Girlfriend", she has improved the combination of aesthetics and music, which not only enhances the formal beauty of the story, but also adds to the sincere love. Added endless romantic colors.

In stark contrast, is the director Cai Yan who filmed "War Garland".

Cai Yan is a well-known director of action films, and this "War Garland" can be regarded as his transformation work. He probably wants to show that he is not a director who only knows how to explode by portraying the tenderness of a tough man.

It's a pity that almost all audiences didn't buy it, and the bombardment of ridicule by film critics was very intense——

"It is important to have self-knowledge, and Cai Yan is not a director who is particularly good at grasping the balance. For war films like "War Garland", patriotism and the cruelty of war must be expressed; inserting love entanglements is not No, the premise is that it is properly balanced, but this movie is completely unbalanced..."

The word-of-mouth of the audience is unsurprisingly one-sided——

"If you want to watch a romance movie, you should go to the "Savage Senior Sister" next door; if you only want to watch the explosion scene, you'd better wait until the movie is shown for an hour before entering, otherwise the blunt love triangle scene in the previous hour will let you first My mentality is exploding—let’s talk about your sister’s relationship!"

The flood of bad reviews will naturally have a huge impact on the box office.

Going into a weekday, box office drops for any film; Garland, however, was in freefall — just over $1000 million on Monday;
However, the box office explosion in the first week, which is quite a bit of a special effects blockbuster "Sister Savage", the subsequent box office trend is far more stable than that of the special effects blockbuster - the single-day box office on the first working day was more than 2600 million, officially Surpassed the biggest rival in the same period;
Even after the first working day, the box office of "The Savage Senior Sister" has been rising day by day due to the help of film schedule adjustments, while the box office of "War Garland" has been declining every day.

And on Friday of the following week, just one week after its release, the box office of "Savage Senior Sister" quickly broke through the 2 million yuan mark.

——This box office result is quite terrifying even in the summer season when there are many blockbuster movies and the box office is generally high.

But this time it was hardly a surprise.

Because one thing is recognized by everyone - with the background of "War Garland", the box office hit of "Savage Senior Sister" is not unreasonable.

——After all, before the release of "War Garland", it was called murderous, which separated the schedule of many new films by at least a week. I didn't expect that it would wither after only two days, and the theaters naturally unceremoniously released more The screen moved to "Savage Senior Sister".

Therefore, the latter also won Dunhuang's first weekly box office champion in this summer's summer file, and set off a wave of "savage fever" again.

Although this upsurge may not last long, it has already made Dunhuang laugh from ear to ear—affected by it, the DVD sales of "My Barbaric Senior Sister" have seen an obvious small sales peak.

As the director of this movie, Liang Guanyi's status and reputation have naturally increased.

Liang Guanyi's filming is a sequel. As we all know, the sequel is both good and bad.

A good shot is because of the foundation of the previous work, as long as the sequel maintains a certain quality, the box office results are generally guaranteed;

It is not easy to shoot because the previous work that can produce a sequel generally has a good reputation, but the sequel is difficult to play;
At this time, you can see the skill of director Liang Guanyi-she made the sequel very well under the "barbaric" routine, and her reputation is even the same as the previous one; compared to those who only strictly follow the script to make qualified movies As a director, she is undoubtedly more valued by the film company!
Soon, the peer's hoe was waved again!
……

After hanging up the call of Hou Mai, the boss of Dongfang Pictures, Liang Guanyi smiled and shook the phone at the person opposite: "I never thought that I would still be so valuable!"

Opposite is Shen Zhenyi.

They are currently in the office of Dawn Films, a sub-label of Shen Zhenyi's joint venture with Dunhuang.

Shen Zhenyi laughed when she heard the words, "In terms of sense of smell, the boss of Eastern Pictures is still very strong, and he is faster than the top five, but he still knows it later..."

Liang Guanyi shrugged, and said: "Actually, it's normal for him to act like this, and we'll come back after the box office blows up; instead, it's you young couple, what kind of support plan is planned, is the outlier in the industry."

Shen Zhenyi also shrugged, "But now we have benefited a lot, haven't we?"

Liang Guanyi smiled, glanced at the notebook in Shen Zhenyi's hand, and said with great interest: "Is this the script or my 'prostitution contract'? Well, Boss Hou just promised me what I want to shoot on the phone just now, you Boss Shen can't Compared to him..."

Shen Zhenyi chuckled lightly: "What kind of boss am I? But, Sister Liang, if you have a story you want to shoot, you might as well let us go over it first; if not..."

She patted the notebook on the table and said with a smile, "This is the script I picked out from Wang Wei."

"Director Wang's script?" Liang Guanyi's eyes widened and he sat up straight.

It is well known in the industry that if Wang Wei hadn't been "tired" by being a director, he would definitely be the most famous screenwriter in China right now!
Over the past few years, almost every film and television work produced by Dunhuang has a very good story, and there is a shadow of Wang Wei in it.

For example, "Savage Senior Sister", outsiders don't know that she still doesn't know?Although Wang Wei only listed an outline, it constitutes the skeleton of the whole story. Her acclaimed director is just filling the skeleton with flesh and blood.

Just like the saying that is becoming more and more popular in the circle - if you can get Wang Wei's script, it is equivalent to adding a success insurance for your own work!

Therefore, the value of Shen Zhenyi's script can be imagined.

However, Liang Guanyi doubted whether Wang Wei could write the kind of story he wanted to shoot next.

Because she is different from He Wenying and Lu Le who also got the opportunity to direct Dunhuang, to a certain extent, she is more in line with people's impression of traditional female directors-she is good at directing delicate films, especially female-themed films, and compared to Tragedy, she actually prefers sunny and inspirational stories.

Shen Zhenyi didn't say anything, but just handed her the notebook: "You read it first before talking."

Liang Guanyi took it and was taken aback, "There are two scripts?"

Shen Zhenyi nodded with a smile, "That guy has a huge library of scripts! Let's see which one suits your appetite."

Liang Guanyi first took a deep breath, and then couldn't wait to open the first notebook.

She directly skipped the preparation, investment, and publicity ideas on the first few pages, and started to read the more detailed story outline. After reading it, she was fascinated.

Shen Zhenyi drank tea leisurely, not surprised.

These two books, one is "Sunshine Sisters Amoy" and the other is "Pounding Heartbeat". To put it bluntly, they are both good stories, even good stories specially customized for directors like Liang Guanyi.

Both stories are touching and heartfelt, nuanced and rich, and contain a detached sense of femininity...

and many more!

Shen Zhenyi squinted her eyes, thoughtful——

In other words, to be able to write such a delicate story, how much does this guy know about women?
