Chapter 253: Every year is different

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the box office of "Party A and Party B" exceeded 1.50,000, and advanced towards 20,000. [{ (net

By this time, the box office of this entertainment film had already reached many expectations, which surprised the people in the circle.

From the beginning, I found it interesting, to the popularity later, and to the rising box office now, I have been breaking everyone's psychological bottom line, and I feel it is incredible.

In China, the domestic film market has been in a downturn in recent years. It is considered a success if a film can have a box office of several million.

If it was Zhang Yimou's movie, it won't be surprised that it won tens of millions of box office.

This is because Zhang Yimou and Gong Li have such a great box office appeal. Besides, Zhang Yimou's film investment is high, both of which are millions of dollars, while "Party A and Party B" have only more than two million yuan.

How did such a low-cost comedy get such a high box office?

People in the film industry have done a lot of analysis. They have found that the movie is particularly targeted, or it is just for a specific audience.

This can be seen from the box office in various places that the audience in Beijing alone contributed one-third of the box office.

In Beijing, this film has attracted a craze for movie viewing, and everyone usually talks about the plot in the movie when chatting.

This authentic Beijing-style movie touched the nerves of the people in the capital and made them feel comfortable to watch.

This makes people in the circle think about the feasibility of shooting regional movies, such as Shanghai-city people filming Shanghai-city movies, mountain-city people filming Sichuan-style movies, etc., will they repeat the success of "Party A and Party B".

Secondly, this film is very friendly and tells several whimsical stories from the perspective of small characters.

This is very different from the current main theme movies. It does not preach or tell the audience what to do, but only brings the audience simple happiness.

Or the creators of this film put down their airs, tried every means to cater to the audience's preferences, put themselves in the shoes of thinking about what the audience likes to watch, and truly serve the audience.

However, in the eyes of artists, this is vulgar.

Artists will not consider whether the audience can accept it. They are competing with themselves and want to take pictures of their own personality.

During the screening of "Party A and Party B", many people criticized the vulgarity of the film. Most of these people were from colleges. They believed that this was an amateur movie and did not conform to the art of film.

In the eyes of the academy, Feng Xiaogang is just an amateur and has made an unbearable entertainment movie.

This concept is very popular among academics.

Zhang Yimou praised Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days", because "Sunny Days" meets the academic aesthetic standards, has personality and passion, and does not follow the crowd.

In fact, "Party A and Party B" also have personality and passion, but it is not very obvious.

It broke the shackles of previous domestic movies in language. The actors in the movie used laughter and scolding to mock society and traditional habits, which were not intense but could penetrate into the hearts of the audience.

It also uses traditional comedy forms of humor, funny and playfulness to turn the helplessness, confusion, expectation and anger encountered by the people in reality into a self-deprecating smile.

This is exactly why artists criticize Feng Xiaogang for being vulgar.

You have clearly touched on social problems, but you don’t dig deeper into the deeper things behind the problems. Instead, you deal with them with a gentle attitude and self-deprecating way. It’s too shallow and has no personality.

If an art film director comes to shoot such subjects, he will either criticize social injustice or pity the people's stupidity and incompetence, so as to demonstrate his feelings of not fearing the powerful and compassionate people.

This is the difference between art films and entertainment films.

As the box office of "Party A and Party B" continues to rise, this debate will continue, and a phenomenon is likely to form.

For Lin Zixuan, arguing is a good thing, and it will be bad if no one pays attention.

He is planning to invite the actors and crew of "Party A and Party B" as well as friends in the film industry to gather together for a meal on the eve of the Spring Festival. This is a celebration banquet and a congratulations to the first anniversary of the establishment of Good Dream Company.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone will be busy and happy while the movies are selling well at the box office.

A year ago, Haomeng Company held an opening ceremony, marking the official opening of a private film and television company.

Still at the Friendship Hotel, there are many more people coming, including Han Sanping from Beijing Film Studio and old colleagues from the Art Center.

Half of the crew of "Party A and Party B" are employees of Beijing Film Studios. It is normal for Han San to review it. The box office of the movie this time has been so good, which has strengthened his confidence in continuing to cooperate with Haomeng Company.

In a festive atmosphere, someone is not very happy.

"Brother Feng, it is normal to be scolded. It means that you are popular. If you are not popular, you can't even find someone to scold you. You should slowly experience the troubles of becoming famous." Lin Zixuan joked.

"I have to greet me with others scolding me, but I have to smile. There is no reason." Feng Xiaogang said dissatisfied.

Feng Xiaogang was stimulated by the phrase "a movie made by an outsider", which hit his pain. He was not a professional, wasn't he just an outsider. He was right, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only hold it in his heart.

What made him feel unfair is that Ge You was not a professional, but there were very few criticisms against Ge You.

After all, Ge You won the Cannes Best Actor and was recognized in the international film industry. How can you criticize it? At most, Ge You's performance in "Party A and Party B" has no breakthrough.

"Okay, stop being upset. Wait until you win the Best Director Award and see what they say." Lin Zixuan persuaded.

"Actually, this movie has such a high box office, and I feel very proud. I feel that my level is good, but after being scolded by them, I wake up from it. Seeing my shortcomings, I still have to learn more in the future." Feng Xiaogang said in a deep voice.

At this time, Yu Dong from Beijing Film Studio came over with a wine glass. After this cooperation, everyone became familiar with each other.

"Mr. Lin, I saw a photo on the wall outside. It was taken by you last year. The box office this year is so good. Should I take a photo together and commemorate it?" Yu Dong suggested.

The manager of Friendship Hotel is very good at doing business. Last year, he took photos of Lin Zixuan and the others. After getting Lin Zixuan's consent, he framed it and hung it on the wall.

"I think this is OK. It would be great if I could hold a celebration banquet every year in the future." Feng Xiaogang agreed.

Lin Zixuan thought about it and said that this idea was good. It would not be a big trouble to do it after dinner.

There are many people this time, including actors and crew members, and everyone is standing in several rows.

Lin Zixuan and Han Sanping stood in the middle, surrounded by acquaintances. Some people did not come last year, and a lot of people were added this year.

The photo was taken by the manager of Friendship Hotel. With the flash light on, the year has passed. (To be continued.)8
