546. Large and small productions

Li Mingjuan's "Sunshine Sisters" has been officially completed and will be launched soon.

In fact, the preparation of movies like "Sunshine Sisters" is relatively simple.

Or in other words, the preliminary preparations for feature films are relatively simple, especially for movies like "Sunshine Sisters" that do not involve special professions or special people. In this regard, during the preparation period, you only need to follow the steps and select the right actors, and Kanjing, etc., which are actually not that complicated.

Moreover, movies like "Sunshine Sisters" will not take too long to shoot, and the production cycle of the entire movie will be relatively short. This type of movie is actually the mainstream of domestic movies at present, because the cost is relatively low, and the investment return cycle will naturally be shortened. Moreover, if this type of movie is well shot, there is often a chance to make a big fortune with a small amount.

This is the first choice for most domestic film and television companies, even for giant companies, because the investment involved is not large, so the pressure to recover will naturally be small.

But the most important thing about this kind of movie is the script. The reason why a drama film is a drama film is naturally to make achievements in the plot.

Looking at the big-produced movies in the film market, the plot is often weak because the main directions are different. On the contrary, simple dramas are often literary dramas, so the plot is relatively richer. Of course, commercial movies must not be too complicated.

The reason why large-scale productions, such as historical epic movies, science fiction blockbusters, etc., have a long production cycle, is that most of the time, it is in the early preparations. For example, epic movies, the costumes and props involved, takes a long time to customize props, clothing, and make-up. In terms of makeup, it also requires reference to a lot of information to finally settle.

Then there are scenes. Because most of the dramas are based on the background of reality, reality exists in terms of shooting scenes, and you only need to choose the right place. However, science fiction movies, as well as some historical masterpieces, costume movies, etc., in many cases, the scenes they need are fictional. Better, such as costume blockbusters, then you need to find suitable natural scenery, etc. as shooting scenes, and more need to be redesigned, produced and built studios, which require time, manpower and material resources.

For example, Wang Yifan was able to shoot "I Am Not a God of Medicine" in less than half a year because it was a drama film, scenes and other aspects were real.

When shooting other movies, it took a long time to do it.

For example, in "Martian Rescue", because the male protagonist needs to undergo weightless training in advance, the training time alone will take several months, and there will be a space capsule and other photography scenes. Naturally, the time and money spent will increase exponentially.

Therefore, for film and television companies with limited capital flow, it is impossible to shoot large productions most of the time.

Why are movies called high-risk, high-reward investments?

For example, it took more than a year for a movie like "Martian Rescue" to be invested more than 200 million yuan from preparation to release. From preparation to release, it is equivalent to a product being produced and then sold, such as a one-month release period. However, the accounting period for theaters is usually impossible to share the movies with you as soon as they are released, and there will definitely be a certain delay. And this is still fast.

"Martian Rescue" has sold well, so in 2 years, it is naturally OK to have enough return.

But how many good projects are there like "Martian Rescue"?

"Titanic" in his previous life has been overdue and has been overspending. This is because the Hollywood giant Fox has strong resistance to stress and is relatively strong, but even so, it has affected other investments and operations during that period.

The high risk of movies is not only reflected in the uncertainty of box office, but also in the return on investment cycle.

Some people may say that the market value of giants is tens of billions, and it is nothing to take out hundreds of millions of dollars, right? But the market value is market value, and cash flow is cash flow. Don’t think that their market value is very high, but it is considered very high if the cash flow can have 5% of the market value. More are intangible assets and real estate, etc., and these are assets, not cash.

Get back to the point.

"Flameable and Explosive" is a song by the singer Chen Li in his previous life. It was released in 2016. In fact, this song is not very popular. After all, Chen Li is not a famous singer, and it is very difficult to sing this song.

The key is that the style is very special.

Wang Yifan actually felt that Yan Lingxuan’s situation was very consistent with this song.

How to say it? No one is beautiful, everyone loves her, some people like her appearance, and her fairy-like spirit, but some people hate her, and they like her sexiness more, but some people also think that it is vulgar and despicable.

Yan Lingxuan cared too much about the voices of the outside world, so she kept changing herself, but she ended up making a mess.

And don’t read so many lyrics of "Flameless and Explosive", it is actually just a matter of one sentence. What else do you want me to do?

Chinese music has always been very strange.

Why do you say so?

For example, in the early years of Hong Kong Island Records, good songs were frequently released, but what was the result?

Songs are good songs, but they almost use other people's melodies directly. There is a saying that a Yamaguchi Momoe feeds Hong Kong Island's music circle.

Chinese people value lyrics rather than melody. Of course, this is also related to the domestic environment.

Basically, you will find that the good songs in China are all based on good lyrics. Of course, ordinary people will not care whether the melody is original.

The lyrics of "Flame-inducible and Explosive" are of course very good, and the melody is not bad either.

The whole song means ‘What else do you want me to do…’

With Yan Lingxuan’s beauty and her experience during this period, Wang Yifan thinks it is very suitable.

Yan Lingxuan also likes this song very much.

Of course, Wang Yifan didn't expect Yan Lingxuan to be very superb in singing. As long as it is not a live version these days, the post-production music revision technology can also ensure the quality of this song.

Many people think that those lip-syncings on the spot are not good, of course they are not good, because the live version cannot be repaired too much, so their real strength is highlighted. To put it simply, it is prone to flaws.

But everyone is too unconsidered with these singers. In fact, they are just ordinary singing skills. Lip sing is a lyrics, and of course they can listen to it well.

It is called "to bring a better music experience to the audience.

"Flame-inflammable and Explosive" was sung for Yan Lingxuan, and it was also promoted for "Sunshine Sisters".

Although there seems to be no connection between the two, it doesn't matter.

As long as it can play a publicity role, it will be OK.

Li Mingjuan attaches more importance to "Sunshine Sisters Tao" than Wang Yifan. After all, if "Sunshine Sisters Tao" can succeed, even if the box office cannot exceed "The Wrong Car", the benefits it brings to Li Mingjuan is absolutely.
