Chapter 550 The Era of High-Revenue Bad Movies
In China, "The Secret: Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" will be released soon.
The promotion of domestic films such as "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Gods" and "Tiny Times 1" is also in full swing.
The film and television circles are bustling with activity, while the field of TV dramas has ushered in the above-mentioned major rectification.
In recent years, anti-Japanese war dramas have been released one after another, and the plots have also been upgraded from the previous bare-handed Japanese to the large-scale ones not long ago. Of course, the shocking lines that can be found everywhere in these dramas have also been openly shown on the screen, which is simply impossible to watch.
The General Administration finally could not sit still in the face of such a situation, and made clear requirements for the upcoming anti-Japanese war dramas, stating that overly entertaining anti-Japanese war dramas should not be licensed for performance.
As soon as the news was released, netizens became excited and immediately compiled a wonderful compilation of the anti-Japanese dramas they had collected and posted it online.
The most famous one is naturally the one called "The Anti-Japanese Heroes", in which he tore Xiao Rizi apart with his bare hands, displayed his unparalleled magical skills, and also had such amazing lines as "My grandfather was killed by Xiao Rizi when he was only 9 years old."
This TV series combines all the unreasonable things in one, which makes some netizens feel that "it" is reasonable.
The second is "Marching Into the Fire", in which the male protagonist drives a Harley motorcycle and carries a leather sofa with him.
There is also "Legend of the Plainclothes Team Behind Enemy Lines", with all kinds of props such as steamed bun mines, vegetable mines, bulletproof pants, etc., which are simply jaw-dropping.
Especially in the TV series "Iron Blood Mission", there were actually stones blowing up planes, modern combat uniforms, and our army's sophisticated weapons.
Not to mention netizens, even a group of filmmakers in the circle felt their scalps tingling after watching it. What the hell is this?
Subsequently, the relevant departments compiled accurate data.
According to statistics, in 2012 alone, Zhejiang Hengdian Film and Television City received a total of 150 film crews, of which 48 crews involved anti-Japanese war themes (accounting for about 30%), and was jokingly called the "Hengdian Anti-Japanese Base."
There was once an extra who died eight times in one day while playing the role of a Japanese soldier in different crews, and he participated in more than 8 anti-Japanese dramas in a year.
In many anti-Japanese TV dramas, a child can kill dozens of Japanese devils, and a farmer can kill hundreds of Japanese devils. So when talking about war, many people still think of burying mines and digging tunnels.
One netizen joked: "It is said that Hengdian can 'kill' 700 million Japanese in a year, which can circle the earth twice if connected together!"
In addition, there are many shocking lines such as "My grandfather was killed by the Japanese when he was 9 years old" and "The eight-year war of resistance began".
In recent years, in some "anti-Japanese dramas" with bizarre plots, bullets can turn, a grenade can blow down Japanese planes, a flying knife can destroy enemy heavy artillery, and the soldiers and civilians fighting in the war of resistance seem to be "possessed by magical powers" and can even "tear the Japanese apart with their bare hands."
The Japanese devils who were known for their arson, murder, looting, brutality, insidiousness and cunningness were portrayed as "paper tigers" that died at the first blow, and were funny, stupid, wretched and fragile.
Some anti-Japanese war dramas also featured some shocking scenes and plots, and some weird behaviors were brought to the screen and inserted into the plot. The most incredible thing was that in a certain anti-Japanese war drama there was a scene of a naked beauty saluting the soldiers, which was really unacceptable to the audience.
It is precisely because of this that the General Administration finally made up its mind to rectify the anti-Japanese drama.
The first batch of names on the list included "Anti-Japanese Heroes", "Marching Towards the Fire", "Iron-Blooded Mission", and "Plainclothes Team Behind Enemy Lines".
Although the General Administration said that the focus is on rectifying the anti-Japanese drama, the TV industry has only one feeling, that is, the wolf is coming.
I don’t know whether it’s coming for real or not.
But it is definitely coming, at least there will be big changes in the anti-Japanese drama.
This news has little impact on the film industry. After all, film censorship is much stricter than that of TV series.
But once the issue of cracking down on anti-Japanese dramas came out, one of Hai Run's plays by Wu Qilong was naturally affected.
At the same time, major film and television companies in the circle that have TV drama projects are also watching the wind direction, fearing that they will be implicated.
...
The capital, the crew of "Startling by Each Step".
The filming location of "Startling by Each Step" in the capital is not far from Peking University.
Since the General Administration issued the document on regulating TV dramas, Cai Yinong has hardly left the crew.
Originally, the shooting schedule for the TV series "Startling by Each Step" was not so tight, and the crew preparation and the script did not need to be rushed.
But something went wrong with "The Desert Ballad", and it has not been resolved yet. This has made Tangren Film and Television's funds a little stretched, and it is in urgent need of stable capital recovery.
What could be more stable than shooting the sequel to "Startling by Each Step", so I had no choice but to go for it.
This time, Cai Yinong came here specifically to monitor the filming of the crew to prevent any shocking lines and plots.
At the same time, the same situation happened in various TV drama crews. Everyone couldn't help but become cautious, fearing that they would run into trouble at critical moments.

After the Cannes Film Festival, Gu Wei has had a busy and fulfilling life, and the filming of "The Revenant" is now coming to an end.
Gu Wei was busy shooting during the day and called and texted Liu Yifei at night.
The young lady who is doing dubbing work at Disney is also a little excited.
"I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years and have filmed a lot of dramas, but this is my first time doing dubbing, and it's quite fun."
Speaking of dubbing, Liu Yifei recalled the album she released many years ago.
At first, I thought I'd follow the path of the Hong Kong superstars, developing in land, sea and air... er, developing in the three fields of film, television and music, but it turned out that this song held me back.
Hearing this, Gu Wei said faintly, "Well, not bad, Xixi, your voice is indeed quite nice under certain circumstances."
Faced with Gu Wei's sudden driving, the young lady wanted to fly to Canada immediately and kill him on the spot...
In mainland China, "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" has been promoted for a week since its premiere, and the day of its public release has finally arrived.
"You mean, the attendance rate of "Heavenly Secret Fuchun Mountain Dwelling" was extremely high today?"
In the office, Song Ge still found it hard to believe what Wang Chen said. "If the reported data is correct, then this is it."
Wang Chen spread his hands. This is what the current data shows.
"But it has so many bad reviews right now."
Song Ge was a little skeptical. He had seen the movie with his own eyes, so he naturally knew what it was like.
It is no exaggeration to say that in his eyes, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is not as good as "The Promise" and "The Warring States" of those years.
As the saying goes, comparing people is odious, comparing goods is unworthy of being thrown away. At least the scenes and story contents of these two movies are pretty good, while the former only has various uniform temptations to attract the audience.
Although "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" has just been released, and only more than ten hours have passed from midnight to now, it has received a lot of negative reviews online.
Netizens were full of complaints on social media, and the Douban score dropped to less than 3 points.
However, what is puzzling to the industry is that the movie’s attendance rate is quite good, which is quite puzzling to everyone.
However puzzling it may be, this Dragon Boat Festival would be much quieter if there were no movie "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".
On various social media, people who have watched the movie are complaining.
"Anyway, the negative word-of-mouth of Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains has successfully aroused my curiosity to see how bad it is. I have seen many bad movies over the years, but I guess the creators didn't expect such a well-received and "sincere" bad movie at the time."
"If you don't watch "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" in your life, reading thousands of bad movies will be in vain."
“Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is an epoch-making masterpiece that cannot be defined. It is a mixture of police and gangster stories, thriller, suspense, romance, Infernal Affairs, science fiction, fantasy, and SM. It can capture anything you can imagine.”
China Film Group.
In the chairman's office.
Han Sanping looked at these comments silently, the corners of his mouth twitching.
Shit, where’s the tribute to “Avatar”? And this is the result?
Damn it, I’m almost scolded to death by the audience.
However, what Han Sanping did not expect was that the current attendance data of this movie seemed to be really good.
"Director Han, the theater chain reported that ticket sales are still rising, and some theaters have urgently increased the number of screenings to meet the growing demand for movies."
Han Sanping's secretary came in to report.
This made Han Sanzan a little bit dumbfounded. There were a lot of negative reviews when it was released, and the number of films scheduled increased instead of falling. This may be regarded as a miracle.
It has to be said that "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" has indeed created a "miracle" for domestic films. It has become one of the best samples for studying the current film market and audience's viewing psychology.
It was the various complaints from netizens on social media that added to the movie's box office.
There were many people who went to the theater to watch this movie out of curiosity. Since their psychological expectations had been adjusted to the lowest level, the audience felt that the movie was not that bad after watching it.
After this information is fed back again, the quality issue of the movie becomes a trivial matter - the only fun thing is to verify it yourself, even if you buy a movie ticket for it.
"'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains' was criticized by the whole nation, and the box office exceeded 100 million in two days."
The media were also a little confused, but they had to release the film as usual. After all, the movie did break the 100 million yuan mark in two days, and it was faster than "Seattle".
“There is also this way of playing.”
The production companies in the industry seem to have discovered a new continent.
"This movie is unscientific."
After seeing the box office of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", regardless of what other people think, the star-studded Lu Zheng felt like crying but had no tears.
"It turns out that the time was wrong for "Warring States". If it was filmed now, it might be a big hit at the box office."
Why are they all bad movies? The performance of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is so different from that of "Warring States".
It seems like two extremes.
"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" has become an absolute hot topic movie, and it is fortunate that it was born in the era of Weibo.
Complaining has become the primary productive force. The more complaints there are, the higher the attention will be, and the box office will also increase.
at the same time.
With the end of the college entrance examination, "Iron Man 3" also ushered in its "graduation farewell show" in China. In more than a month of domestic release, the film broke many film history records, and finally ended with a box office of 7.52 million. .
Looking at the data fed back by his subordinates, Han Sanping showed a helpless expression on his face.
"How are you, Mr. Han? Are you in a good mood?"
Gu Wei, who was abroad, called Han Sanping immediately after seeing the comments online and joked.
"You know what, this movie doesn't seem to be a loss at all."
Ignoring Gu Wei's teasing, Han Sanping was rather complacent.
After all, even though the movie is really bad, the advertising has already made back a lot of the investment. Coupled with the box office trend, 5 million is not enough. After all, the reputation is too bad and it has a huge impact on its stamina. But 3 million is still a good possibility.
And in the current situation, even if you can't get your money back, you basically won't lose much money.
