The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 118 You're Going Too Far (Two in One)

This is the second time Wang Chuanqi has come to the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs".

With the development of Dunhuang, more and more affairs are pressing him, and he has seldom paid attention to the specific shooting of a certain project.

Although I have heard about it for a long time, because of the excellent performance of the two leading actors, the filming of "The Silence of the Lambs" went very smoothly, but after watching a few filmings, Wang Chuanqi couldn't help being shocked——

"Grass, the realism of this shooting is too high, isn't it?"

Anyone who has been in contact with the set knows that no matter how realistic the effect of a movie is after it is released, it is often chaotic when shooting, without much sense of being in the scene.

There is no way, when filming, even the most heart-pounding bed scene, there are still a large number of behind-the-scenes staff waiting outside the scope of the camera - under such circumstances, those who can still enter the scene, all Is a man of God.

In addition, most of the scene sets are actually very simple.

Therefore, in many cases, on the set, even if the actors have good acting skills, from the perspective of a bystander, they often feel false when watching the show.

In a way, that's why post-production and editing are so important in the film industry.

However, on the set of "The Silence of the Lambs", Pharaoh saw a completely different scene:

On the surface, it seems that there is not much difference from the set of other movies——

The filming was still under the watchful eyes of a group of behind-the-scenes personnel, and the scene set was not realistic enough to replicate the script description one-to-one.

However, stepping into it gave Wang Chuanqi a completely different feeling!

reality!Very real!

This reality is not physical, but psychological.

First, the set is quiet.

Of course, when all movies are being shot, as long as the director doesn't call to stop, no one is allowed to speak except the actors who are shooting.

But not speaking, does not mean that they do not exist, nor does it mean that they do not affect the shooting atmosphere.

However, the difference between the studios of "The Silence of the Lambs" is that——

Wang Chuanqi felt that the staff around him were not only holding their voices, they seemed to be holding their breath and thinking together.

At the beginning of the filming, except for the actors in front of the camera, the other behind-the-scenes staff seemed to be transparent.

Everyone was watching the show in silence, as if that was what was actually happening.

And most of this is due to the super contagious power of the actors!
For example, in front of you——

…Hannibal, who was in the prison escape, did not panic at all after "executing" the two policemen.He turned on the radio, played music, slowly raised his head, closed his eyes, and smiled slightly, enjoying this moment very much, as if surrounded by infinite glory...

Even Wang Chuanqi himself couldn't help feeling terrified when he looked at it.

And the other "transparent" staff members wished they could disappear out of thin air, so as to avoid this demon far away.

……

"Now it seems that you have chosen the right person again!"

During the filming interval, Wang Chuanqi first gave a heartfelt compliment, and then directly turned the topic to work: "I hope you can select other talents as reliably as you select actors..."

"How to say!?"

Wang Wei, who just finished filming a cadenza, seemed to have enjoyed a meal of supreme food, was a little puzzled.

"He Xi took over the acquisition of comic copyright, but he neither locked in the target nor prepared to negotiate, but was busy leading people to sort out the background setting, story structure, etc. Change the behind-the-scenes staff of film production..."

Lao Wang was complaining that he didn't know what the other party was doing, but he saw Wang Wei showing an approving expression.

He became suspicious: "I suspect that you guys are hiding something from me!"

"This is..."

Wang Wei didn't hide it on purpose, but——

Facing such a huge plan as the "Superhero Universe", it may involve dozens of superhero characters, more than [-] adaptation movies, and even need to be planned more than ten years later. The difficulty and risk are so great that they cannot be ignored.

Starting from now, it will be officially launched three years later, and Wang Wei feels thankful.

——Without even a shadow, he raised it hastily, except for causing opposition from the other party, there is no benefit.

Now it seems that He Xi has really got a clue, so let him toss about it first.

Wang Wei didn't want to say it, and Lao Wang naturally couldn't drag him to the end.

—Anyway, he will always know in the end, besides, he has enough things now.

He went on to say the second thing.

"On behalf of Dunhuang, I participated in the movie ticket price discussion meeting initiated by the Film Association. As a result of the discussion, everyone agreed to raise the ticket price.

"That's a strange thing to say. Could it be possible that there will be some objections?" Wang Wei curled his lips.

Old Wang rubbed his nose, speechless.

After all, apart from the producers and theaters, all the representatives participating in the seminar were representatives of related industries in the industry, and indeed no one would vote against it.

In particular, the price increase this time is not small-the ticket price will be increased by 50% on the original basis!

The current movie ticket prices, depending on the hardware configuration of theaters, as well as the size of the city and the level of consumption, are priced at about 10 yuan per ticket to 15 yuan per ticket.

However, when issuing tickets, theaters often offer discounts, so in many cases, the price of a "special ticket" is less than 10 yuan.

Therefore, after the price increase, strict regulations have been made on "special tickets" that disrupt normal competition. Even after the discount, the lowest price of a single movie ticket must not be lower than 15 yuan!
"The price increase resolution will be officially implemented from January 1 next year. In the long run, this is of course a good thing; but in the short term, it may not be good news for us." Lao Wang said This gives me a headache.

Without him, "Charlotte Annoyance", which is scheduled to be released at the end of January, is now on the brink of death!

After thinking about it, I know, the price increase, don't expect the audience to be happy at any time.

Especially at the beginning of the price increase, I am afraid that there will be scolding from all over the country, and the attendance rate of major theaters will definitely drop.

To be honest, Lao Wang would rather not enjoy the benefits brought by the ticket price increase for the time being, and he is not willing to rush to this stall to bear the anger of thousands of viewers-not to mention whether the increased box office of the price increase can offset the loss due to the decrease in the audience The box office is still unknown.

This is not just aimed at Dunhuang. All movies that are scheduled for the Spring Festival will have to bear the pain of movie ticket price increases.

It can only be said that when huge interests are involved, the individual will always make way for the collective.

So Wang Wei was puzzled: "Tell me, I can't help it. I can't just adjust the schedule again."

"No, no, what I mean is, the more this is the case, the more we must increase the intensity of publicity and try our best to attract audiences into the cinema."

Lao Wang stared at Wang Wei solemnly, and said: "So, you must tell Weibo that they must use the ultimate publicity trick for us-the pop-up window of Penguin Newsletter!"

"After all, Penguin Communication has become popular in China!"

Lao Wang was very excited when he mentioned this!

In his words, investing in Weibo technology may be the most successful investment in his life!

All of this has to start with the launch of Penguin Communications' "Growing Vegetables on the Farm" game.

A small casual game was not too difficult to develop. Gu Jinguang from the game department of Weibo led his development team and developed it in less than a week.

And then... Weibo Technology, together with Dunhuang employees, became the first wave of "stealing vegetables" addicted users!

This is quite an interesting point.

Although Dunhuang and Weibo Technology have reached a strategic partnership, the two companies sometimes differ completely in judging whether a work is good or not.

In the film industry, what the crew thinks is a good movie is not necessarily a good movie, but more likely to be an "art" movie that most audiences can't understand.

In contrast, the game industry’s criteria for judging a good game are purer——

A game that is developed by oneself and that everyone in the production team likes to play, or even indulge in, will definitely be a good game.

In the exchange with Gu Jinguang, Wang Wei said with a smile that this can be a reason for game skipping in the future——

"Our production team members accidentally indulged in their own games, and as a result, they did not complete the scheduled work plan..."

Unexpectedly, Gu Jinguang particularly liked this standard, uh, or like this reason.

Hmm... Wang Wei wanted to observe a second of silence for future players.

In short, the game of "planting vegetables and stealing vegetables" that first conquered the internal staff was launched with the confidence of "even the producers themselves like to play it, can it not be successful?"

Although it was predicted that it would be very popular, after it was officially launched, its popularity still surprised the mentally prepared Weibo Technology.

The first week of its launch was uneventful. After all, there was no fighting or killing, and there was no krypton gold content. Users just watered, fertilized, and harvested vegetables while fishing for fish. The picture was just a leisure.

In the second week, the game of "stealing vegetables" was officially discovered and spread, because only adding more friends can steal more vegetables. Users began to mobilize their relatives and friends to sign up for Penguin Newsletter, and began to "grow vegetables" online - the army of vegetable growers The age span begins to cover the old, middle-aged and young.

After the third week, the "stealing food trend" spread like wildfire among netizens across the country. Stealing vegetables" and was fired from the company; someone can wake up from a dream when they hear "vegetables have been stolen"...

In the past, people just went to the web to check news;

Now, going online can not only experience the joy of games, but also the freshness brought by a new type of social interaction.

Some couples are still in the cold war. They want to reconcile but are thin-skinned, so they silently show caring by watering; …

Uh, although there are many couples who fall out because of "growing vegetables and stealing vegetables".

The media also quickly noticed this hot spot. Of course, they were confused at first.

Growing vegetables, harvesting vegetables, stealing vegetables... It seems a very simple and mindless little game, how did it become popular?

How can it be so hot?
As a result, as soon as I got started, I vividly explained what it means to be "ah, it's really fragrant"-everyone has become a professional "stealer".

This is the first online incident that has attracted a phenomenon-level social attention. As the "initiator", the popularity of Weibo technology has naturally skyrocketed like a rocket.

Data is the best evidence.

After the "stealing wave" spread, the number of registered accounts, the total number of active accounts, and the growth rate of the highest number of simultaneous online accounts of Penguin Newsletter all soared-the kind that would soar to the sky.

For example, the number of registered users in a single day increases by 50 every day, which makes the hearts of Internet practitioners tremble.

There is also an even more awesome data: the growth rate of Internet users across the country during the same period is higher than ever before—it shows that many people came into contact with the Internet for the first time by "growing vegetables and stealing vegetables" and started their own life. A trip to "surf the web".

At this time, the rising Weibo technology has attracted countless attention, and everyone wants to know who the founder of such a star enterprise is.

Venture capital firms want to find them, wave their tickets and knock them unconscious——

Most domestic Internet companies are supported by venture capital as the backbone; and now, even the most arrogant venture capital institutions will not doubt the investment value of Weibo Technology.

Not only the surge in the number of users, but more importantly, the popularity of Weibo Technology's use of a small game has vaguely been seen by many Internet practitioners. In addition to Internet + advertising, there can also be Internet + games. model.

What?You said that the vegetable growing game is free, and Weibo Technology can't make a penny?

Hehe, young man, do you understand the principle of "hanging the line to catch big fish"?
In short, as long as the founders of Weibo are found, VCs will always have a way to get them to sell their shares or even sell their companies—cars, girls, tickets... The corrosion from the sugar-coated shells of capitalism is always beneficial.

The media wants to find them too, to tout them—

The word "creating wealth" always attracts countless eyeballs; this is just another "entrepreneurship miracle" of the new economy, and it will surely become a "miracle of getting rich", a natural news topic.

Of course the public also wants to find them, well, most of the public don't know where they are awesome, anyway, just follow them and call them awesome.

As soon as various channels are dug out, the founder behind Weibo Technology is completely exposed.

One is Jiang Lei, um, he is proficient in technology and has an otaku orientation, which fits people's perception of new economy entrepreneurs;

The other is called, Wang Wei?
At first everyone thought it was the same name, and some people even joked that it seems that it is not easy to be called Wang Wei.

In the end, I found out that yes, this Wang Wei is the same Wang Wei in the entertainment industry.

"?!!"

The venture capital organization was stunned at first - in terms of money, this guy made hundreds of millions of dollars in a movie, how could he still be short of money?In terms of sex, he's in the entertainment industry. If he wants beautiful women, why don't he line up and deliver them to his door?
Here comes the question, what kind of advanced "sugar-coated shells" are needed to corrode this product?

The media is also dumbfounded - this guy makes movies, chooses to cross genres at every turn, everyone has complained about his incompetence; now he is starting a business across borders, and he has gone so far and succeeded, isn't it a bit too much?
As for the public... No more words, let's just shout awesome!
