Blue Star's "Gears of War" series is equivalent to the "Transformers" series on Earth. They also started with toys and later developed into cartoons and movies. They are one of the most valuable series in the history of the two worlds.

What Mo Lan is talking about is the fourth movie in this series. The first three movies are popular all over the world, especially in Asia, where popularity ranks among the top three.

Django watched the box office and film reviews of the first three movies online, as well as his analysis of the fourth movie, and found a very important information. The third movie showed a weak stamina, which seemed to be blindly "pleasing" the domestic market, resulting in IP overdraft.

Disney has a "Seven Years of Movie Rule", and the audience of animated movies will change a group of people in about seven years.

This kind of movie that sells feelings for a certain generation is also applicable. It has been ten years since the release of the first "Gears of War" movie in 2012, which is in line with this cycle.

However, Hollywood blockbusters usually occupy a relatively strong position in the domestic film market. In terms of filming, domestic movies released in the same period will always be squeezed by Hollywood blockbusters.

After the third part of "Gears of War" was released, although the score dropped from 7.5 to 4.4, falling to the lowest in the series, the theater managers generously gave 71.7% of the national screening, and finally won 4.05 billion, becoming the domestic annual box office champion in 2019.

You still can’t underestimate the enemy. The audience is unwilling to buy it. Even if the movie is good, the audience will not be able to make money if they don’t buy it.

However.

After analysis and trade-offs, Django finally decided not to change the situation.

"Detective Chinatown" is different from the situation on Earth. It has a solid popularity foundation laid by several TV series "Bai Ye Universe".

And the songs, TV series, and movie brands he created have already gained reputation.

Based on various factors, "Detective Chinatown" has the power to fight "Gears of War: Deep Space Warriors".

After hearing the reasons, Mo Lan couldn't find a point of refutation, so he chose to support Django's decision.

This matter was discussed lively online.

"It's embarrassing. Someone announced that it will be released on the National Day holiday, and domestic movies will be revoked afterwards."

"To put it nicely, it is called a wise move, avoiding its sharpness, and to put it bluntly, it means being frightened and fleeing in panic."

"Is this a must-fight place for the film crew during the National Day holiday, just giving it up?"

"In recent years, except for the big directors who dare to face the Hollywood blockbusters, the rest are the A Dou who can't help but be able to help."

"Just get used to it, just routine operations. Capital always prioritizes its own interests. How can it care about what kind of backbone is not backbone? How much does it cost to backbone?"

“…”

...

Of course, there are many people who express their support, thinking that if these movies are bad movies, it will not have any impact on whether they are withdrawn or not, because even if they are released on the other day, bad movies are still bad movies, with a box office of at most of them worth one or two million yuan.

But if you encounter a good film and meet an opponent with too much strength, it will be very uncomfortable and unworthy to be squeezed. Then it is indeed a good idea to release it on a date.

Soon, someone shifted the topic to several domestic films that were not withdrawn.

"Director Xu's "Where to the Horizontal Knife" is here!"

"Director Guo's "Age of Love 3" is still here!"

"Django's "Detective Chinatown" is still there!"

"These three are the strongest paper-on-page films released during the National Day holiday, but Director Xu and Director Guo's reputation have declined severely in recent years, and the quality is worrying."

"With Django here, I'm not panicking at all. The first movie scored 1.97 billion yuan in box office, and the second movie with the popularity of the White Night Universe will never be lower than this number."

“…”

...

Hollywood films have always been a hot spot in the domestic film market and are deeply loved by the audience. Every year, a large number of Hollywood films are sold well in China, with a very high box office share, and they even have to make a special version of the Chinese country that is more expensive.

Series of movies with big IPs like this have a huge fan base.

"Come on, let me tell you a number. The second-ranked box office in the National Day holiday is only half that of "Gears of War: Deep Space Warriors."

"What are you comparing? Actors, they hire world-renowned actors; the cost of production is 200 million US dollars; special effects, they are looking for the best special effects company in the world."

"It's not that I don't watch domestic movies, but my chances of winning against Hollywood blockbusters are less than 10%. This is the result of various data over the years."

"Taking Detective Tang for example, the director is a third-rate director, with two male protagonists, one is a third-tier actor and the other is a student in school. The heroine has some traffic."

"Really, I don't know where those people got the courage? The ending of 'knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain is to go to the tiger mountain' is that there is no complete corpse."

“…”

...

This group of people are very confident in their favorite IP movies.

However, they overlooked a fact.

Watching too many movies of this type will cause aesthetic fatigue, and the audience will begin to pay attention to the core of the movie. As the aesthetic improves, many movies with only special effects scenes will be difficult to gain the recognition of the audience. Many sequels of Hollywood blockbusters have been released and pre-cooled.

"Click, restore the venue, and have another one."

The temperature in Yinchuan dropped sharply at night, only about ten degrees. The colder was a little colder than during the day, but there were no tourists holding their mobile phones and taking photos of their cameras in the distance.

This scene is about Xiao Wei, played by Guan Yansi, who first met Wang Sheng, played by Zhang Jun during the battle between soldiers and bandits.

Zhu Ping looked back at the shooting scene just now, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "The close-up switching and zoom of the lens are smoother, how can you eat one after another? The color of the picture is lighter, and the color of the blood looks too dark..."

He said a lot, then looked back at Django sitting behind him, and asked carefully: "Mr. Jiang, is it okay to shoot like this?"

Django nodded and said, "Don't have any pressure, just shoot at your pace."

Zhu Ping responded "Yes".

Five minutes later, the venue was restored and a new shooting began.

This time, all groups and actors have made adjustments, and the effect is much better than the previous one.

but.

Halfway through the photo, a "click" sounded!

Django stood behind the monitor with his hands in his arms, and said, "From the previous shot, do it again."

On the set, his words were imperial edicts, and no one would ask why.

Fortunately, there is no need to restore the venue after shooting this. After each group is ready, continue shooting.

"Click, come again."

In the first ten seconds, Django's voice was remembered again.

Guan Yansi, Zhang Jun and a large number of extras in the venue are all unknown.
Chapter completed!
