The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 156 Going Crazy! (two in one)

Journalists are going crazy!

On the third day of the premiere of "The Silence of the Lambs", another murderer "delivered to the door" after watching the movie, which shocked the media and the public even more!
——The female criminal who surrendered herself was named Lin Qing.

Unlike Du Ying, whose identity was unknown before he surrendered, Lin Qing was identified by the police shortly after committing the crime, and was even preparing to issue a wanted warrant.

But even so, the emergence of two real serial killers within a few days is enough to shock the people of the whole country.

As for the reporters, they feel that the carnival is here!

It's hard for you to imagine how many second- and third-rate journalists who live by making up stories on weekdays. At this moment, they thank Wang Wei from the bottom of their hearts for making this movie and providing them with a lot. material.

Among other things, the story of the murderer itself has enough news value!

For example, Lin Qing, as soon as she surrendered herself, the media began to dig out the ins and outs of her crime.

Her crime does not sound as terrifying as the ogre Du Ying, and it is even a bit embarrassing——

Because of her honest "pursuit" of her boss at work, she was repeatedly suppressed and not allowed to be promoted;

On a business trip on the eve of her job-hopping, she was asked to drink with a client. She planned to deal with it casually, but unexpectedly, the despicable and shameless boss drugged the drink with the client, and then raped her...

After waking up, faced with the pride and disdain of the scumbag after she succeeded, Lin Qing, who was completely controlled by anger, chose to let the person who hurt her pay for it with her life, and embarked on a road of no return...

As the film critic Yang Lan who witnessed the whole process of his surrender, he was not at all excited to become the focus of the media. In front of the interview camera, his eyes were slightly red——

"Just like the heroine in the movie, Ms. Lin is also a poor person. Because of her gender and beauty, she looks like a sheep trapped among wolves."

"I believe she was inspired by the heroine of the movie, because the heroine has been an orphan since she was ten years old. She is entitled to be bad and depraved. She can make excuses that she is bad because no one takes care of her or something... But the heroine The Lord did not, not only did not make excuses, but he firmly believed that people can be saved and then become stronger."

"Yes, Ms. Lin went the wrong way, but she didn't end up like the Silence of the Lambs. When the salvation really came, she just stood still, confused, and didn't run; nor did she continue to fall deeper like other criminals. ;She chose to surrender herself, and completed her redemption in another way..."

Yang Lan's words caused an uproar.

Not only because of the embarrassment, but also because it clearly points out the connection between the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" and the surrender of serial killers.

—it is it, it is it!

In particular, there were several boys who proved that what she said was not a lie, Lin Qing just "enlightened" after watching the movie.

Of course, the fact that they were scared to cry was unfortunately dug up by reporters as an anecdote of the "surrender incident".

Because of their words, many reporters called the surrender of the two serial killers "the gift of "The Silence of the Lambs".

Some media even boldly claimed that this is not the end of the "surrender incident", but may be just the beginning, and they even bet that how many evils in the world can be ended when this movie is released-then this issue of the newspaper was sold out in less than half a day. It is enough to see the public's interest in this topic.

What the public is interested in is naturally what the media wants to dig out.

Then, the film critics are also going crazy!

"It doesn't look like it's an exception... a little weird."

"No, there's no explanation for that, is there?"

"Everything can be explained."

"how to explain?"

"If I knew, would I still need to ask you for a draft? When it comes to analyzing movies, you film critics are professional."

"day……"

Similar conversations happen between almost every film critic and contract editor.

Countless film critics slandered——

Of course we are professionals in film analysis, and Wang Wei’s film does have a lot to say about it, such as the actors’ performances that can be recorded in history, the narrative style that goes deep into the subconscious, the use of film language like a textbook, and the artistic value that directly hits the roots of society. ...

However, analyzing the connection between the movie and the unbelievable "surrender incident", this question is out of the question, okay? ?
What, you said that Yang Lan analyzed well?
Is this Nima called analysis?Who doesn't know her criterion for judging the success of a movie - it's all because of the beautiful heroine, all thanks to the good-looking heroine, it's all due to the heroine...

——Film critics from all walks of life complained in their hearts, while randomly guessing the "connection" behind it.

——No way, the high draft fee is too sweet.

Therefore, from scientific psychological analysis to various viewpoints in the field of occultism, "demons dance wildly" in the media.

And thanks to the media, more audiences were aroused with curiosity and flocked to the cinema one after another.

Viewers are now not only not afraid of encountering a serial killer, but even wishing for it.

This is something that can be talked about for a lifetime - in those years, I have to tell the story of witnessing a serial killer surrendering himself...

Naturally, the cinema is also going crazy!
It is of course their dream to have a high attendance rate, but this is a restricted-rated movie!
——You, you, you, you haven't reached the legal age to watch restricted-rated movies, why join in the fun?
You must know that a prerequisite for the implementation of the film classification system is that legal awareness must be sufficient.

To put it more bluntly, from theater managers to audiences, they must consciously abide by "what content is for what audience", so that the cost of implementation will be low enough.

The domestic film market is mature enough, generally speaking, there is no problem.

But there are always some special cases.

For example right now—

The connection between "The Silence of the Lambs" and the "surrender incident" aroused the curiosity of the whole people.

Everyone knows that teenagers, especially underage teenagers, are the most curious.

No, they began to try their best to sneak into the theater where "Lamb" was showing, to catch a glimpse, and pray that they would run into a serial killer alive.

The theaters are getting big heads!
In theory, of course, you can check your ID card one by one when you enter the door.

However, the actual operation is very difficult and requires a huge amount of time and personnel costs--theatres generally do not have this motivation, and they are eager for more people to enter the venue, the better!
And it is impossible to ignore it completely, otherwise, if something goes wrong, their theater chain will have to bear considerable responsibility.

For example, what if there are teenagers imitating crimes?
To be honest, the theater chains love and fear the possibility of a serial killer appearing in their own theaters!
"Love" is easy to understand. This is the degree of attention that can't be asked for.

The reason for "fear" is also very simple. If the serial killer chooses to kill instead of surrendering himself, the theater will jump off the building!
——Even if there are two cases of self-surrender, no matter how you look at it, the latter seems more normal.

This also caused the theaters to see the news of serial killers haunting, and their hearts were always up and down, pleasantly surprised and scary.

And if it is said that the theaters are both painful and happy, another group that is almost crazy, there is no doubt that there is only "pain"!

——The producers of the films released at the same time only have one word "MMP" to say!
The first day of "The Silence of the Lambs" was only a modest 2000 million yuan; and on the second day, when the news of "Serial Killer Surrenders Himself" came out, the box office doubled to more than 4500 million;

On the third day, the news continued to ferment, and the single-day box office of "The Silence of the Lambs" continued to rise, reaching more than 5200 million, becoming the box office champion of the day;

The achievement of breaking [-] million in three days is a slightly exaggerated achievement even after the ticket price has increased; and on the fourth day, the news of a "murderer" surrendering to the crime broke out. The box office will only get more exaggerated.

——I'm afraid this movie will firmly hold the top spot on the box office list!
This made all the film companies that released the film at the same time deeply desperate-we did nothing wrong, but we became cannon fodder inexplicably.

Oh, no, a big fool really did something wrong!

Yes, we are talking about "Dark Demon" by Pearl Pictures.

This thriller, which competes homogeneously with "The Silence of the Lambs", is about to be released, but the media is overwhelmingly full of news about competitors; Competitors; audiences, movie fans can't wait to watch a competitor's film twice in order to bump into a "serial killer"...

Damn mental retardation!

Don't get me wrong, it's not the audience who scolded, but Gao Zhongwei, the production director who deliberately moved "Dark Demon" to the May [-]st stage.

Rumor has it that Xia Heng, the director of "Dark Demon", almost had a fight with this guy.

The industry can understand Director Xia Heng's mood very well.

Fortunately, other films with differentiated themes are cannon fodder, but not all cannon fodder.

But "Dark Demon" is probably too much cannon fodder.

The point is, he sent it to his door as cannon fodder himself.

——There is a gossip that Wang Wei commented, "I have never seen such a brave person who is so keen on courting death!"

The so-called gossip, everyone knows that it is probably true.

What's more, this choking-to-death rant is exactly what Wang Wei would say.

What's even more irritating is that their distribution department is still fighting for the overseas distribution rights of "The Silence of the Lambs"!
Yes, the Big Five with overseas distribution capabilities—whether it’s the Big Five of China Entertainment or the Big Five of Hollywood—are also going crazy!
Originally, the Big Five firmly grasped the line of overseas distribution networks, and other second- and third-tier film companies were stuck.

——No matter how good a film they have produced, as long as they want to go overseas to make a fortune in the global market, they will inevitably be exploited by the five majors.

——The difference is only who is exploited and the degree of exploitation.

Even if he was destined to be exploited, Dunhuang hoped that the exploitation would be the lightest, and then he was deadlocked in the overseas release of "The Silence of the Lambs".

——Based on the lack of optimism for overseas distribution of thrillers, most overseas distributors only agree to buy out the cooperation form of overseas copyrights, which is far from Dunhuang's expectations.

With this stalemate, "The Silence of the Lambs" soared into the sky.

It's not just a normal soaring into the sky, it's like the kind of soaring into the sky with two rockets tied together and the engines stuffed with explosives!
Now even the countries on the other side of the ocean know this movie that "brings its own serial killer to surrender".

Even the police spokespersons in some countries came to make fun of it——

Japan, South Korea and other countries in the Chinese-speaking cultural circle that are destined to release this movie, police spokespersons in many countries claim that they will be on guard during the movie's release;

In contrast, in countries such as North America or Europe, the media has suggested that the police introduce this film on the grounds that "it may help them complete their case-solving performance this year..."

Of course, in the eyes of most people, this is just an anecdote pulled by the media, and the police in various countries are just making fun of it.

But in the eyes of overseas distributors, this is the aura that can attract audiences to the cinema.

This is generally the sequel to a hit work, or the "halo" that an original adaptation with a lot of fans will have.

——This kind of work, as long as the quality is decent, does not require too much publicity, and it can become a blockbuster at the box office.

Only smell fishy, ​​but haven't seen meat yet, the five big sharks can still hold it;

Now a large piece of fat is hanging on the mouth, as long as you open your mouth, you can eat it. If you don't grab it, you will be sorry for the nature of the carnivorous beast.

It's good to grab it, Dunhuang can sit on the ground and raise the price.

After urgent negotiations and consultations—everyone wants to take advantage of the time when the "surrender incident" news is the most popular to make money—the overseas distribution in Asia, Europe, etc. should be handed over to the domestic China Media; Into the hands of Universal Pictures Hollywood.

In addition to winning the highest proportion of the share, of course, the highest proportion of the five major exploits, Dunhuang also won the right to send people to the local area to supervise the release of the film.

Although, even if someone supervises, there is no way to deal with some black-box operations of overseas issuance, but at least the money on the books can still be recovered steadily.

What Dunhuang values ​​more is to take advantage of this opportunity to explore ways to establish overseas distribution channels.

Well, it's not that China Media and Universal don't know about it, but...

Unlike film production, which relies on talent and luck, film distribution is more of a money game.

Especially the overseas distribution network, without a lot of money and enough talents, it is very difficult to set up.

Let Dunhuang follow to explore the way, it is still far away from the real establishment of overseas distribution channels!
However, Lao Wang obviously didn't think so.

……

"Even God is helping us, what can't be done?!"

After the release of "Lamb", Mr. Wang has been in a state of excitement, as if he had taken a [-]-kilogram blue pill.

"Even if a serial killer comes to the door now, I think I can easily kill him!"

"Calm down, Mr. Wang."

Wang Wei hurriedly appease Lao Wang.He didn't want this guy to really go out and speak out because of his enthusiasm, and recruit a serial killer, that would be a lot of fun.

——Who dares to really believe that this guy can easily KO a serial killer?
"Let's never recruit serial killers into our homes. If there are any more, we'd better go to the police station and 'report' them obediently."

"You are right."

Lao Wang took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little.

"But I have a hunch that there will be serial killers in the future. The movie "Lamb" is destined to have a fight with serial killers."

"Uh……"

If he hadn't glanced at the system and it was still there, Wang Wei would have thought it had gone into the opponent's mind.

"It's true to say that. After the serial killer surrendered himself, the heroine in the movie had to be interrogated to cooperate. I didn't expect the serial killer to be so deeply involved in the drama these days."

Shen, the heroine, Zhenyi glanced at Wang Wei with a half-smile, and agreed.

For some reason, Wang Wei's heart froze, and he obediently put on an innocent appearance of "I didn't expect it either".

Only Lao Wang blushed again with excitement: "Yes, yes, yes, I also want to participate in the interrogation, a living serial killer, this is the first time I have seen you in this life!"

Everyone else was speechless at his excitement.

——You look like you found a new toy, you are not afraid of recruiting a serial killer, right?

　hhh... A friend named "quilt bed" clung to the scumbag author tightly; a friend named "Karvin" probably fell in love with the scumbag author, and it was too difficult to forge ahead~~~
