Chapter 2009: Pattern
"It's almost eight months old, not small anymore." Xu Datou murmured in a low voice.
He is not a tiger father, so he can't take a child of a few months old on such a long international trip. A child of seven or eight months old will be fine if he is carefully taken care of.
Besides, he brought a nanny with him, but the couple went out for a walk, and the nanny was resting in the hotel and didn't come out with them.
When they met, they naturally walked together. Tangtang, who was running around, ran over at some point and tiptoed to see the little sister in her father's arms.
She didn't fight for her father's arms, but was very curious about the little sister who was younger than her. She stuffed her candy and snacks into the little sister's arms like a big sister.
In the end, I saw the little sister blowing bubbles, which was very cute and fun, and I followed her to learn. In the end, I asked my mother to give me a little sister so that I could blow bubbles with her.
"The film market actually has a lot of room for development. Although several domestic films with big investments have failed in recent years, this does not mean that the domestic film market is not good.
If the film market is not good, the audience is not good. Then why are several blockbusters of our company selling well, and the box office of those foreign science fiction films is higher than one another?
The fact proves that it is not the market that is not good, but the old storytelling method is not good. Everyone has watched movies for so many years.
All kinds of stories and classics have been seen. In other words, the appreciation level has improved, and at the same time, there are more movies and more choices.
You can't still use the old ideas and old routines to make movies. People's appetites have become picky, and you have to make movies that suit the tastes of modern people. Otherwise, with so many movies to choose from, the audience will naturally choose to watch the ones that suit their tastes. Why watch yours?"
While strolling and chatting, the two of them unknowingly talked about movies and the current domestic film market.
Although he became a director halfway through his career, Xu Datou is a person with his own ideas. I am not criticizing some domestic directors nowadays. It is just that the movies you made are not in line with the market and are not liked by the public. Instead of looking for the reasons in yourself, you blame the audience. This is a bit unreasonable.
What?
You are so capable!
You are so awesome!
You understand movies?
You are so capable, so awesome, and so knowledgeable about movies. Don't release the movie if you don't want the audience to buy it. Enjoy it at home slowly. You want the audience to pay, but you say that the audience doesn't know how to appreciate it. Do you really think you are the boss? Do you think the film industry will not turn around without you?
"After being successful for a long time and standing in a high position for a long time, some people think that everything is taken for granted. If they are slightly disobedient or unhappy, they think they are not wrong and it is the fault of others.
Don't pay attention to such people. Wait until he falls a few more times and the investors who are cheated dare not invest in him again. When he feels that his job is gone, he will learn his lesson without you saying anything." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Although he said this in a joking tone, he has to admit that this sentence hits the point. Some people just don't feel the pain, and they don't know who they are at all.
After a few setbacks and being slapped by society, they will naturally wake up. At this time, if you kindly remind him, he will think you are envious and jealous.
"That's right!" Xu Datou nodded.
The two couldn't help but talk about the domestic film environment again.
In fact, Xu Datou said that a certain director's movies were not popular and scolded the audience, which was not aimless. It was just a rumor recently that the other party was going to make a comedy and was seeking investment.
Although he was a director from another company, Haina seemed to have the intention to follow the investment. And the theme of comedy movies is a bit of a collision with his current script.
So there was a bit of eye drops here, and Yang Dongxu obviously saw this. But he still commented a few words, because he also felt that such a director was a bit arrogant and was a bit cold to the other party.
However, he looked down on it, and when Liu Zongsheng decided to take a step down on the other party's script, Yang Dongxu did not object.
Regarding Xu Datou's eye drops, Yang Dongxu just felt that the other party might not be standing high enough and had a narrow vision.
Haina will invest in a person unless the person has committed a crime and is under investigation. As long as it is not illegal, if there is money to be made, they will definitely invest. After all, they are a company with their own bottom line, but they also need to make money.
More importantly, Haina does not lack such a small amount of investment money. Xu Datou feels that he has encountered a competitor, but in fact, whether it is his film investment or anyone else's film investment, it is a drizzle for Haina.
As long as the script is good enough and the director is reliable, there is money to be made, not to mention investing in two comedies at once, even if it is invested in ten, the funds are still sufficient. There is no such thing as Xu Datou's comedy investment being postponed after investing in a comedy.
The matter of a certain director was just mentioned. When it comes to the domestic film market, Xu Datou couldn't help but say, "The domestic film market will definitely become the main force of the world film market box office in the future, after all, the number of audiences is here.
And as the domestic economy gets better and better, people are getting richer and richer. There will definitely be more and more audiences entering the cinema, which can be seen from the fact that some popular movies in some big cities are all hot and people are queuing up to buy tickets.
However, although the market is huge, not all movies can get box office. For example, horror movies cannot be made in China. It’s not that there are no audiences, but the review is too strict and the classification system is not so clear at present.
Therefore, the future domestic film market will definitely be based on comedy and action movies. "
By saying that comedy is so important, Xu Datou certainly has his own agenda and wants the company to support more filming funds. But it must be said that what he said is true.
In fact, not only in China, but also in the world, comedy has a pivotal position in the film industry.
In the various movies that break box office records in China in the next few years, comedy can be seen every time. Among them, Xu Datou's Lost in Thailand has left a strong mark in this regard.
"Comedy and action movies are not just two carriages, they will be the pillars of the domestic film market in the future. "Yang Dongxu said.
Xu Datou looked at his boss in surprise. In fact, saying that comedy and action movies are the two carriages of domestic movies is a bit of an exaggeration for comedy.
Although domestic comedy has a big market, the pillar of Chinese movies is recognized by the world as action movies. Action directors of Hong Kong movies are very popular in Hollywood.
"Boss Yang is optimistic about comedy?" Xu Datou's eyes lit up a little. Because if the big boss is optimistic about comedy, wouldn't this hit him right in the face?
"It's not a matter of being optimistic or not, I just think that life will get better and better in the future, and everyone wants to watch some happy and comfortable movies, right? Besides, everyone wants to laugh during the holidays, and no one wants to be moved to tears by sentimentality, right? Of course, classics are excluded!"
