Chapter 508: New low-budget film(2/2)

"Why doesn't this fit?"

"You also said that newcomers should try more. I think this role can be considered a breakthrough for you."

"Brother Da Fei, Boss Wu has only acted in a few movies? How can he establish his image among the audience?"

"Many people don't even know him yet!"

"What about transformation?"

"You're right, I agree."

Wu Di and Han Jingjing stood together, which made Da Fei even more embarrassed.

He had no choice but to say: "In short, do you accept this script or not?"

"In my opinion, as long as the film is produced, the effect will definitely be good. It will be a high-level and high-quality film. I don't necessarily want you to act in it. I just think that you can't just accept blockbusters, but also pay more attention to the film.

the quality of."

This is very strange to say!

It feels like it has something to point to, and the direction is very clear.

Could it be that he thinks skin-changing is a bad movie?

Be careful what he tells Zhang Feng!

"In a word, should I act or not?" You

As he talked, he became even more anxious.

Wu Di held the script in his hand: "Who said I won't act?"

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"I haven't seen anyone for several days in a row, and yet you managed to make a rural-themed movie like this. How awesome are you!"

Rural theme!

A heavy topic, very heavy!

It’s not that these themes are bad, it’s that the audience for these themes is really narrow. Sorry.

Rural areas cover a vast area and have a large population, so all kinds of things are bound to happen, and naturally there is no lack of curiosity among them.

Many stories are worth telling. If we look at the core tendencies of the stories, they are no worse than many films on the market today.

However, this is theoretical.

In fact, the performance of rural-themed movies in today's theaters is very poor. If nothing else, the most important indicator for maintaining theater movies, the box office, is hopeless.

Over the years, no matter how hard you try, rural-themed movies just can't show good box office results.

The audience's tickets are the most perfect and true proof of their personal preferences and tendencies.

The reason is that during this time period in 2009, the distribution of movie theaters greatly affected the box office performance of various types of movies.

In this era, movie theaters are widely concentrated in first- and second-tier cities. The film industry here is booming, and the number of new screens added every year is quite objective.

Along with it, naturally, came the rolling box office.

What kind of entertainment are movies?

Who are the people who like to go to the cinema the most?

There is no need to make any assumptions, it can only be young people who will always choose to watch the latest movies after a dinner party, on a daily date with male and female friends, or even when they have certain movie-watching habits.

These young people are urban white-collar workers and even higher-level people who live in first- and second-tier cities and enjoy urban life.

Obviously, they are not interested in rural-themed movies and TV shows at all. They don't watch any of the various rural TV series that are usually broadcast on TV stations. They are still free and cannot attract their attention, let alone those

You need to pay to go to the cinema to watch movies specifically.

If you don’t like watching it if it’s free, why spend money?

The audience's value orientation also guides the filmmaker's tendency to shoot works.

In other words, in today's movie market, rural-themed movies are quite unpopular. No matter what type they are, as long as the background takes place in rural areas, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory box office results.

There is no way around this.

In fact, this dilemma did not only appear in 2009. Even more than ten years later, when Wu Di traveled back in time, the expansion of cinemas had already reached third- and fourth-tier cities, and there were many of them.

There are only a handful of rural-themed films that can achieve outstanding box office results.

To put it more exaggeratedly, there is none at all.

As for word-of-mouth, it can be regarded as a powerful tool to make a work have a sense of existence. Let’s look at the script in Wu Di’s hands.

It also seems a bit uncertain.

Generally speaking, if rural-themed films want to have a certain presence in the market, they often have to win some international awards.

So what type of films do these awards generally favor?

The countryside and the vast land are of course a very important background factor. Generally speaking, many of the films that have done well at international film festivals do not tell stories that happen in the city.

There is no need to focus on domestic entertainment, you can watch French films that also have a high presence in major international awards.

Many times, we also face the same dilemma. Thank you.

For films that simply tell about the love, hatred and grudges of urban people, if the angle is not tricky enough, it is often easy to get nominated, but it is very difficult to actually win.

This is reality, not to mention that many movies do not have the ability to win awards?

Not to mention, the movie recommended by Yuan Dafei not only has congenital flaws in its background, but also in terms of subject matter, it basically has no chance of winning awards.

Suspense movie!

This is actually a suspense movie!

This suspense film is usually used to boost the box office. For awards, it really has no advantage and it is difficult to make a difference.

Judging from the current movie market, the box office performance of suspense films is generally at the mid-range level. In other words, it will neither be the biggest hit of the year nor too bad. Sorry.

If the quality of the film is excellent, you can make a lot of money, and it will definitely not just protect your capital.

why would you say so?

Because whether or not you make money actually does not necessarily all depend on box office results. The more box office the better, of course, but cost is also a key factor.

Compared with fantasy films like "Skin Change" and epic masterpieces like "Fuzi", the investment in suspense films is generally relatively small. As of 2009, the investment in a suspense film can reach tens of millions, which is already a big investment.

So how can we not say that it is a huge profit to win a box office of hundreds of millions with a relatively small investment?

What's more, generally speaking, the cast composition of suspense films is relatively simple, and there is no need to invite a lot of big names to line up.
