Chapter 395 Just follow the blockbusters(1/2)
"The pressure is so great when filming a scene with Mr. Jiang." When Hu Jingtian saw Django who was serious, he couldn't help but become nervous.
"It's normal to be stressed. Director Jiang has very high requirements for details. Even if it's a line, a look, and an action, Pei Jie played "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Unbeaten", and there was a dozen scenes." The life assistant wanted him to relax, but after saying this, it added a lot of pressure to him.
"Hu..." Hu Jingtian took deep breaths to relieve his nervous mood.
"Don't be nervous, you acted very well just now, Teacher Tie Gang and others praised you." The life assistant continued.
"Really or not?" Hu Jingtian subconsciously looked at Zhang Tiegang, who was putting on makeup not far away.
"Of course it's true, how dare I make up such a lie?" replied the life assistant.
Getting recognition from others can help Hu Jingtian get back his confidence faster.
Over there, Zhang Tiegang and others were still talking about him.
"The value of this 65 million flowers by Mr. Jiang."
"Xiao Hu has solid basic skills, and even if she has not acted for two years, her acting skills have not been abandoned."
"I don't know what his former company is. Such a promising actor actually chose to give up."
"Who knows."
"I'm looking forward to the opponent of him."
"Me too."
...
There are indeed many actors among the new generation of stars who have failed their acting skills, so they have been attacked many times. It is reasonable to be criticized for their poor acting.
In fact, "Little Fresh" originally refers to young, handsome and strong men, but the meaning of this word has gradually changed from distorted in the entertainment industry. The compliment has become derogatory. The actors themselves have to learn to endure hardships. This is the self-cultivation of an actor. The reason why young Fresh is becoming less and less popular is mainly caused by young actors who are not dedicated, play big names, are sky-high pay, stand-in acting, cut-out acting, etc., who do not take the acting career seriously.
Several old actors have a high opinion of Hu Jingtian, which obviously has a good impression of this young junior.

Every summer is a concentrated outbreak of Hollywood movies. Among them, there are both well-known sequels of the movie series, new Hollywood movies released, both shocking science fiction blockbusters, and thought-provoking realism themes.
Yesterday, various theaters received screening notices from China Film Academy that three Hollywood blockbusters will be launched during National Day.
The previous "Star Wars 7" has won 3.5 billion yuan in box office, and has won the May Day box office champion. It is also proved once again that special effects blockbusters are still one of the magic weapons to attract audiences. So, "Super Human Organization 3" has sharpened its knives and plans to take over the National Day holiday.
Faced with these "big bulls" who often dominate the box office for a month, it seems that the way domestic films used to avoid is auspicious, and the method of choosing a different schedule will not work. It seems that they can't avoid the crushing of Hollywood blockbusters at any time.
However, since 2021, Django has emerged and made one record-breaking movie after another, giving domestic films the power to fight against Hollywood blockbusters.
Just in time, "A Chinese Ghost Story", which has an investment of more than 250 million yuan, will be released on this year's National Day.
"This is a fierce battle."
"Fierce battle? Don't think that you have the ability to fight Hollywood blockbusters if you win a movie called "Gears of War: Deep Space Warriors".
"Indeed, the "Super Human Organization" series is not comparable to the "Gears of War" series. The first one is the eighth in the global box office of $1.5 billion, and the second one is the sixth in the global box office of $1.6 billion."
"This series has a large number of fans in China, and the ticket price of 3D movies is expensive, which has an advantage when the number of viewers is similar."
"Yes, the first two parts have 8.2 points and 8.3 points, which are not low. Besides, the third part is the ending of this series, and there will be many popular superhuman heroes appearing."
"Django's movies may not work overseas, but they are still very powerful in China. The 4.03 billion yuan of "The Swordsman: The Oriental Unbeaten" has exceeded "Super Human Organization 1", only 300 million yuan of "Super Human Organization 2"."
...
Although there are not so many MWDC comic fans in China, their single superhuman hero series of movies over the years, starting from "Superhuman Bug" to "Superhuman Giant", "Superhuman Sheriff", "Superhuman Agent", "Blue Star Guardian", "Miscellaneous Professor", etc., each of them has gained a lot of fans, and their reputation has gradually accumulated. Then, the "Superhuman Organization" series, which put these superhuman heroes together, allows many fans to see their favorite characters, which greatly increases the box office.
That's why so many people are not optimistic about "A Chinese Ghost Story" winning "Super Human Organization 3".
"The opponent is very strong." Chen Qian said after seeing the list of movies scheduled for National Day.
"He is strong, and the breeze blows through the hills..." Django was extremely calm and said, "Our goal is to get back the cost and make a little more money."
"It will cost 750 million yuan to return the box office for 250 million yuan. It will be almost the same as making a little money for 1 billion yuan. It's not a big problem, but..." Chen Qian analyzed and said: "With the quality of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the box office starts at 3 billion yuan. If it is a loss caused by being squeezed and arranged by "Superhuman Organization 3", it will not be cost-effective."
This is not unreasonable, Django smiled faintly and said, "You can change the file."
Chen Qian said, "Then you won't make a fuss on the Internet, you're scared."
Django shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Just make a fuss."
Chen Qian skipped his eyebrows and said, "What the hell do you think?"
Django smiled and said, "What else can I think? Since we are not bad, even if we are afraid of it, it is one thing to win or not, and it is another thing to fight or not."
When Chen Qian heard this, he stared at him and said, "Then do it, do it, do it!"
Django has learned about this series of movies, similar to "Avengers" and "Justice League" on Earth. He is willing to spend money, and the cost of one movie is more than $300 million. While the special effects are full, powerful actors are activated.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But he also watched the sample film of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Zhou Mulong and Cheng Xiaodong's directors have their own advantages, Zhang Fucheng, Qin Shiyue and Leslie Cheung, Wang Zuxian's Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are comparable, while the special effects are greatly improved, and they are definitely a top-notch film.
It is a head-on relationship with "Superhuman Organization 3". Whether it is a mantis arm that is a chariot, or a slight difference, or a better one, will be a clear idea after it is released.
—————
In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
On September 30, the 30th city preview of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is in full swing.
In a popular way, preview screening is to choose to be released in some local theaters, and the movie has not been officially released in advance.
Although ordinary audiences can also buy tickets, they are relatively difficult to buy because most of them are given out in order to allow professional film critics and media to give the video in advance.
Two hours later, the review of "A Chinese Ghost Story" premiered was released.
[Weichuan Talks about Drama]: In 1 hour and 55 minutes, I gave me an incomprehensible face, red rouge, white gouache, long hair shawl, earrings swaying, and star-like eyes. In the moment you were not calm, you had already taken away your soul.
[One word to prove it]: The encounter between humans and ghosts is not about romantic feelings. It is mostly crying and tears, mostly melancholy and sighs, mostly heartbreak and pain.
[Episode Movie and TV]: No spoilers? Then I will go, there is no urine throughout the whole process. The surprise starts from the opening song and continues until the end song ends. It is really exciting. The picture, makeup, acting skills, special effects, and soundtrack are all top-notch. To be honest, the ticket price of 39.9 is cheap.
...
[Sina News]: Reviving the old traditions does not mean being immersed in nostalgia, but connecting one's own life with important traditions. Looking at the Django movies, it almost ignores history and presents a traditional combination that is proud and ends. The same is true for this "A Chinese Ghost Story".
[Penguin News]: The prototype of the story is derived from Pu Songling's famous work "Nie Xiaoqian" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and many people have also filmed it. However, just like Django's previous "Painted Skin", it has more of his own style and thinking, and has completely surpassed his predecessors to create new classics.
[Today's headlines]: At first glance, the name of the movie will be a horror movie. In fact, the plot is more inclined to romance movies. There are many stories about human-ghost love, but this "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very classic.
...
Good guy, there are no 100 or 80 reviews from professional film critics and media, but there are not a single spoiler, and almost all of them are talking about the depth.
"I'm so anxious!"
"Did you see loneliness?"
"A lot of useless said."
"Come some real stuff!"
"Isn't it too bad? I've collected the money and said good things?"
“It’s very annoying.”
...
The audience who couldn't go to the preview was so angry. These people were all making a living. I don't know if it was a collusion or because of something else, but I didn't mention the plot at all.
In fact, it’s really wrong for them. It’s not that they don’t say it, but that they can’t say it. They signed a confidentiality agreement before watching the movie. The reviews involving the plot must wait until they are officially released.
"Mr. Jiang, the questionnaire for pre-screening in 30 cities across the country has been compiled, and I have sent it to your WeChat."
Django hung up the phone number of secretary Hu Xiao and then opened WeChat to check it out.
【12-22 years old:
Plot: 8.4 points, Actor: 8.0 points, Special effects: 8.8 points...
23-33 years old:
Plot: 9.0 points, actor: 9.5 points, special effects: 9.0 points...
34-44 years old:
Plot: 9.4 points, Actor: 9.1 points, Special effects: 9.0 points...
45-55 years old:
Plot: 8.9 points, actor: 9.0 points, special effects: 9.0 points...]
Just as he was watching, a head poked over, accompanied by a crisp sound: "What are you looking at?"
Django handed over his phone and said, "The preview questionnaire for "Ghost Story of Chinese"."
Zhou Lingwei glanced at it and said, "Wow, yes, the ratings of all ages are very high."
Django said, "There are too few viewers, so they can only be used as a reference."
Zhou Lingwei smiled slightly and said, "You can rest assured that there will be no problem."
Django looked at the time, hugged her waist, and said, "Let's go."
At night, Dongyang.
The streets are very lively. As the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, the temperature changes in the morning and evening begin to increase. At this time, people are already wearing autumn clothes.
