The author of the original book, a drop in the ocean, can be regarded as a leader in the category of "suspense detectives", and readers affectionately call him "Uncle Cang".
The serialization period of "Night Detective" lasted for four years, and five physical novels have been released in total. The benchmark of the readership is huge.
However, the suspense category is subject to many restrictions, even if the film and television copyright is sold, it is difficult to adapt it properly. The copyright of the first novel of "Detective Night Walker" was sold for two years, and only then did the film and television adaptation start.
Therefore, Uncle Cang attaches great importance to this movie.
All book fans who follow Uncle Cang's Weibo know that the former will report to them about the movie situation every now and then, and he always praises them.
Even two days before the release, he called on book fans to go to the theater to support on Weibo.
In fact, half of the reason why the pre-sale box office of "Detective Night Walker" is so high is because of Uncle Cang's hard work in publicity.
After all, if even the original author thinks it's a 'very good' movie, then the adaptation must be very successful!
For the smooth filming of the next few films, book fans responded to the call and bought movie tickets.
They rushed to the cinema to watch it, only to be pissed off by the 'mess' movie.
what happened
Did Uncle Cang take bad money from the producer, close his eyes and brag that he didn't even care about his own hard work
Just when the book fans were puzzled and resentful, the original author's long accusation was dropped, and he angrily revealed all the dirty truths to the public—
It turned out that when the crew started filming, they hired screenwriter Shen Ming.
Shen Ming's reputation in the screenwriting circle is not that great, and his previous script works were all low-cost investment movies.
Shen Ming knew the great fame of the original novel, so he visited the original author, Uncle Cang, and actively and modestly discussed the details of the adaptation of the script.
It is said that the author of the original work treats his own work as if he treats his own son.
Of course, Uncle Cang doesn't want his work to be changed by magic. Faced with screenwriter Shen Ming's humbly asking for advice, he is willing to spare time to discuss it together.
In this process, he does not charge a penny.
The two worked hard for three months before they completed the first version of the script and handed it over to the film producer and director.
About a week later, the other party made a request for revision. They said that the suspenseful case in the movie was too detailed and bloody, and it might not be easy to pass the trial, so they asked for a slight revision.
After Shen Ming heard the news, he and Uncle Cang carried out a new round of revision and creation.
A total of five versions of the script have been revised before and after. Although some places are different from the original, under the personal control of Uncle Cang Hai, the overall story logic and character images are still standing.
The two parties "happily" reached a consensus on the script. Although there were twists and turns in the casting of the next actors, the overall process went smoothly.
In this way, "Detective Night Walker" entered the shooting session.
During the period, Uncle Cang and Shen Ming jointly expressed that they wanted to visit the film crew, but the producer delayed several times before inviting them.
On the day of the visit, the shooting plots were all based on the content of the script.
Song Qingfeng, one of the two male protagonists in the script, who plays the role of "Front Team", is a powerful actor, and his performance in the scene of visiting the cast was very exciting.
Uncle Cang, who is the original author and screenwriter, was of course satisfied, and took the initiative to share a photo with the actors on Weibo.
The investment is strong, the script is satisfactory, and the casting is excellent.
Uncle Cang took it for granted that his work could appear in front of the public with the best appearance, but he didn't expect that he would be completely dumbfounded watching it in the cinema as soon as it was released!
The plot of the original script has been changed to pieces, the newly added plot is boring, the role of the two male protagonists has been greatly reduced, and the emotional line between the male and female protagonists is out of the sky...
Even book fans find the plot 'disgusting', but in the eyes of the original author, Uncle Cang, it becomes a pile of shit!
He immediately asked the producer, and the answer he got was—
"We filmed and edited according to the script, right? Some parts didn't pass the review, so deletions are inevitable."
"It's enough that the movie box office is strong. Didn't you get the copyright fee for the original work? Don't worry about it so much."
Uncle Cang couldn't get enough of this answer, and the screenwriter Shen Ming, who was also shocked by the movie's plot, was also asking for the truth.
Finally, the two got the answer from the former crew members——
"The producer felt that the setting of some scenes was too expensive and unnecessary, so from the very beginning, they planned to find someone to modify the script. The sweet drama about love is so good and saves money."
No, after the male protagonist Cai Yishu joined the team and heard the news, he recommended the screenwriter Wang Yongwei. The plots of the movies that are currently released are all created and adapted by him.
"The reason why I didn't tell you is because I'm afraid that there will be extra problems. Now that the movie is released, no matter how dissatisfied you writers and screenwriters are, it's impossible to overthrow it and re-shoot it."
Good guy!
It’s fine if the producer admits to modifying the script from the very beginning. After all, the copyright has already been sold, and no matter how powerful the original author is, there is nothing he can do. It can save time wasting serious revisions to the script.
But while asking the original author and screenwriter to call back for re-editing, and at the same time fooling people with the yin and yang script and trampling on other people's hard work at will, will the producer have any shame
——Ma Liugun to refund the ticket, it won't make money for the rubbish film producer!
—@蔡思刚 Get out of the entertainment industry! @王永伟 Get out of the scriptwriting circle! @至文电影 Get out of the film and television industry!
-so what? Invested 150 million yuan to make this kind of rubbish work, where did the money go? It was swallowed up by the producer!
—Let me just say, there was so much publicity before the release, but I didn’t dare to order screenings in advance, because I was afraid that some audiences would be disappointed after watching the movie early, which would affect the box office, right
According to the movie's box office momentum, it would have been able to pay back its cost within three days of its release.
The producers are sure about this, so they dare to be so thick-skinned, but they didn't expect that the temper of the original author, a drop in the ocean, would be so tough
The 'Yin-Yang script' was confirmed on the front foot, and dared to publicly denounce the producer on the back foot.
What made the producers unable to resist the most was that the book fans who were furious responded to the overwhelming condemnation, and directly rushed #夜行神探阴阳Script# to the hot searches.
Ji Li was always paying attention to the news on the Internet, and shook his head, "How do you say something? Dogs can't change eating shit."
Obviously because of modifying the script without authorization, the crew of "Time Lobbyist" has already learned a lesson.
But after only two or three months of work, they made a fuss on the crew of "Night Walker".
This time the producer is the same as them, and Cai Yishu also has a share of the investment funds they want to save.
Seeing the trend on Weibo, Qin Li curled his lips, "If that's the case, I'll give them a hot search post for free."
Ji Li glanced at him and joked, "Teacher Qin Li is indeed rich."
"With one less competitor, our film will have a greater screening rate and potential audience." Qin Li squeezed Ji Li's soft earlobe, "Honey, I'm making money."
Thanks to Cai Yishu, another movie that is most involved with "Night Walker" is their "Time Talker".
Although it is a bit too much to use peers as stepping stones, this is the case in the film and television industry.
The one who can have the last laugh is the real winner.
At Qin Li's request, Lixing Company secretly spent money to operate, and this topic quickly became a high-ranking hot search.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the organizer immediately contacted the Weibo official and wanted to remove the news, but unfortunately the price of this 'removal of popular searches' had not been negotiated, and a new incident occurred.
The agency to which Song Qingfeng, one of the film's leading actors, issued a statement, directly breaking with the producer of "Detective in the Night"—
It turned out that the producer originally invited Song Qingfeng to cooperate with the original script.
After reading the script, Song Qingfeng went to supplement the original work. He liked the role of 'Captain of Criminal Investigation Brigade' Bian Feng very much, so he agreed to act.
The two parties were very straightforward when signing the contract, and the remuneration was based on the consistent market price.
But within a few days of starting up, Song Qingfeng and his team kept receiving script flyers.
An excellent plot takes a nosedive, becoming dry and boring.
After Song Qingfeng discovered the problem, he immediately communicated with the producer and director. Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, the latter made a concession.
The crew said that Song Qingfeng will shoot according to the original script, but there are a few important scenes that have to be deleted, because they really can't pass the review, and the filming is useless.
Song Qingfeng has already agreed to act, and it is impossible to break the contract temporarily.
Fortunately, filming according to the original script made him feel that it was enough to accept, and it took a month and a half to shoot like this.
Now that the movie is released, not only the author of the original book and the screenwriter found out that they were deceived, but even Song Qingfeng also discovered that he had been deceived.
Because the crew gave him the same yin and yang script.
What is the main event that cannot be filmed without a trial? It's clear that it's a waste of money and not willing to shoot big scenes!
Let him work hard with the original script, and add a lot of male and female protagonists without telling him.
During filming, from the first 80-odd scenes, it was cut down to no more than 40-50 scenes.
The post-editing continued to be one size fits all, and in the end only 20 minutes of playing time were reserved.
What's the matter
Even the 'dead' still has ten minutes to appear in the scene!
Although Song Qingfeng is not popular, he has aspirations for acting.
He thought that the producer didn't respect his contribution at all, so he couldn't bear it anymore and chose to let the company explain the situation publicly.
In the end, he said forcefully, "In this case, please remove us from this movie directly! This false leading role, don't worry about it!"
What kind of rubbish movie, they don't want to get involved with such talented actors!
As soon as the brokerage company's statement came out, Song Qingfeng reposted it without saying a word.
Since his debut, Song Qingfeng has always been a down-to-earth "veteran cadre" image. He has played with many actors and starred in many film and television works, and his popularity is extremely high.
A stone stirs up a thousand waves.
- Damn, I feel sorry for Mr. Song! The producers don't want to bully people like this!
—I'm not a fan of the original book, but I just read it for Teacher Song! Great acting as always!
—The garbage film producers are not human, if there are any surprises in the garbage movies, it basically revolves around the appearance of Mr. Song.
—See why the ultimate trailer feels so good? Teacher Song's few famous movie scenes are all concentrated in the trailer, and the emotional lines of the male and female protagonists who persuade people to quit are hidden and do not appear.
— Very good, I originally gave a three-star rating, and I'm going to change it to one star now!
Netizens were outraged, and some actors directly stood up to support Song Qingfeng.
Add drama? Can't bear it!
Change the script? Can't bear it!
The producer is not a man? Can't bear it!
Now that the heat has exploded, the producers can't control it even if they want to. In desperation, the road show promotion scheduled for the day of the release had to be temporarily cancelled.
Netizens attacked and abused the producer, but they also stripped Cai Yishu and Wang Yongwei of their "previous convictions".
The first film and television work that debuted was the male lead in an IP drama, but after it was broadcast, the male lead had as many roles as the male lead.
The second male lead actually had a relationship with the heroine in the play before the male lead
Cai Yishu's first film in the big screen film industry was temporarily replaced by other actors in the group.
There was an old actor in the production team who broke the news that there was an actor in the same group who was not good at acting, but he had a lot of plays, and he was referring to Cai Yishu.
The first drama in which he acted as the leading actor in a movie was "Time Talker", which also changed the original script. However, the investor and the producer saw through his careful thinking at a glance, and they were so stubborn that they terminated the contract directly, and survived.
Then, the next movie to suffer was The Nightmare.
Absolutely! Add drama!
Absolutely! Devil!
Fortunately, the car overturned this time, otherwise how many crews and excellent scripts would suffer in the future!
Netizens not only scolded Cai Yishu and Wang Yongwei, but also criticized Jincheng Pictures behind them to the center of the earth.
There was Zhu Xusheng, the hero of the car shock, and Cai Yishu, the "add drama maniac" later. What kind of ghosts and ghosts are the artists under Jincheng Films
Cai Yishu's team couldn't stop the netizens from fighting against each other, so they could only lie flat and let them laugh.
On various ticket-buying apps, the refund rate of the movie "Night Walker" surged, and for several hours, the box office unexpectedly experienced negative growth.
Those book fans and netizens who were forced to refund tickets took this opportunity to leave all kinds of bad reviews, garbage producers, garbage heroes, garbage plot...
The film's comprehensive rating plummeted to below 6 points in a short period of time, and it is estimated that the follow-up scores will still break through the minimum limit.
All in all, "Detective Night Walker" relies on its strength to persuade passers-by to retreat.
This is going to be scheduled according to the number of filming sessions previously booked, it must be a blood loss!
Seeing that the situation was not right, the major theater companies across the country notified their theaters at the same time, reducing the number of screenings for "Night Walker".
What about the free time and theater? It can only be a movie that is scheduled to be released at the same time!
The original screening rate of "The Flower Demon" and "The Big Bad Man" is not low, so "Time Talker" with a comprehensive score of 9.3 points has become the biggest profiter in this silent competition.
The film scheduling rate on the first day of release rose directly from 9% during the day to 12% at night.
The increase in film scheduling rate is an excellent weapon to boost the box office.
Compared with the super-long duration of "The Big Bad Man" and "The Flower Demon", the short duration of "Time Lobbyist", which is only 80 minutes, is particularly appropriate.
The most important thing is that there are not only handsome men and beautiful women in the movie, but also a lot of guest stars!
That's right, after the promotion rights of "Time Lobbyist" fell into the hands of Oak Star, the crazy bombardment-style propaganda mode began in the afternoon—
Veteran actor Wei Guofu, actress Song Chenxing, talented Xu Manman... Even the actors who play the hero's grandparents are old actors at the national treasure level.
Speaking of which, the cast of this drama is no lower than that of "Flower Demon"!
And it's just an ordinary 2D movie, and the ticket price is not expensive!
"I rushed to buy tickets, you can do whatever you want!"
"Buying tickets and waiting to enter the stage, the crew who can kick Cai Yishu out, I believe your pursuit of high-quality works is true!"
"Just finished reading it! Absolutely!"
"For those who haven't watched the movie, please prepare tissues consciously!"
"Darling, I sincerely recommend going to the movies without makeup, so as not to waste your makeup~"
The box office of "Time Talker" finally broke through the 50 million mark on the first day of its release, and finally stayed at 65 million.
In the case of a low rate of filming in the early stage and a mess of publicity, the box office performance on the first day has already reached the extreme.
And most importantly, the reputation of "Time Lobbyist" exploded after this night!
There are hot searches about the topic of the movie, which are deliberately driven by the crew's official blog, and the discussion of the topic only increases.
—Director Wang Zhang is awesome! The line of time-space switching is handled very well! Ji Li made me a lot of tears again!
-I swear! This is definitely the best youth group portrait I have seen in recent years. Everyone in the five-member group is so plump! Moreover, the image of each elder is portrayed differently, the actors and teachers are too strong!
—I went to see it with my friends. Everyone found their own similarities in the movie. After watching the movie, one cried more than the other.
—Let’s all go and have a look! The ticket price is not expensive, but the plot and actors are worth it!
Netizens tried their best to count on Amway, and the praises like "tap water" poured in, and the word-of-mouth of the movie spread ten or ten times.
In just three days, the film screening rate surpassed that of "The Big Bad Man", soaring to 20%!
Of course, the actor most mentioned by netizens is Ji Li, the male number three in the movie.
- Xiang Suian made me cry madly! Why is Ji Li's crying scene so strong! I can bear it a little bit before, but I burst into tears when I saw the end!
—Although the acting skills of the other leading actors are good, Ji Li's acting skills are amazing! The scene of a family of three makes me so happy to watch it! As a young actor, he was not suppressed at all.
— A passer-by. But I dare to say directly that Ji Li is definitely the top acting among the new generation of young actors!
—Although Ji Li doesn't have many works now, has the character failed once? I can completely distinguish the images of Song Zhao, Xie Yan, and Xiang Suian.
Under this kind of enthusiasm, another marketing account broke the news while it was hot.
"I heard that when Ji Li was in Dream Media, he took a fancy to this script and was the first actor to sign a filming contract with the crew.
He ignored the male lead and the second male lead, so he decided on the third male lead, so he offended the original manager, and was finally hired by Dafa as a stand-in for the crew of "The Big Boy's Conspiracy". "
What
Is that so
Netizens were shocked again!
These days, which young actor doesn't want to fight for the first leading role? Don't want to strive for higher exposure
But Ji Li actually chose the third male lead instead of the easily available male lead
But after thinking about it, netizens can't wait to applaud Ji Li.
Because after watching the whole movie, everyone agreed that the male Sanxiang Suian is the most touching and deeply rooted character.
From another point of view, the male third is still the hidden core throughout the whole play.
The vision for choosing the script is really amazing!
The most interesting thing is that Ji Li was looked down upon by his former agent because of this choice, and was sent to the TV drama crew as a stand-in.
Unexpectedly, relying on strength to rise to the top, Xie Yan was created as a perfect character.
Ji Li is handsome, has good acting skills, has excellent vision, and is not bad luck.
An actor like Fan is too worry-free!
Ji Li's fans saw the rave reviews on the Internet, and the villain in his heart was so happy that he jumped three feet high——
Hey hey.
Not only worry free, but also cool!
When their family Ji Li Zai Zai makes a movie, only one character becomes popular and attracts a wave of fans.
Even if there are black fans jumping up and down and cursing, the righteous master can still slap the face severely with his strength, and fans don't need to worry at all.
Do you want to enter the pit
It's too late to get in now!
…
Speaking of it, the "box office edge" is quite metaphysical, but it does exist.
In the next week, the word-of-mouth of "Time Talker" continued to ferment, and its screening rate rose to 22%, which was almost the same as that of "Flower Demon".
The box office of the movie has also soared from 50 million to over 100 million in a single day, or even more!
So far, the total box office of the movie has exceeded one billion!
From the small investment of the least expected "bottom box office", it counterattacked and surpassed the light comedy "The Big Bad Man" directed by Song Yonghui, and its single-day box office was close to that of "The Flower Demon" directed by Xu Cheng.
Although "The Flower Demon" directed by Xu Cheng is still leading the total box office, "Time Talker" has become a well-deserved dark horse at the box office!
As for the original popular movie "Night Walker", it only earned 130 million box office in the follow-up, and it didn't even get back the original, so it was hastily announced that it would be released.
In the comprehensive score item of the professional website, "Time Talker" actually soared by 0.2 points on the basis of the original high-quality score of 9.3 points!
You must know that with a broad and diverse audience base, there are very few film and television works that can achieve ratings that do not drop but rise.
But "Time Talker" did it!
Not only has it become the highest-rated movie during the New Year's Day holiday, but it has also achieved an absolute high-scoring level in the past five years!
With such an excellent public foundation, the popularity and resources of the five leading actors soared.
The first time Feng Cheng acted as the male lead, he got a high box office, and Li Xing helped him take the opportunity to "catch the leak". Cai Yishu lost the endorsement because of the "add drama" scandal. During this period, it all became Feng Cheng's!
Feng Cheng's fans were overjoyed. After being ridiculed by Cai Fan for so long, they can finally stand up and go back!
Wei Lai, who has always been known as the "A Dou who can't be supported by Chaoying", finally became popular with the movie, and the stagnant Weibo fans finally got a substantial increase.
Although the popularity of the two actresses is not as high as that of the boys, they have gained a lot of new fans and affirmation.
Of course, the actor with the loudest voice and the highest momentum is still Ji Li.
He topped the "Artist Network Data" for five consecutive days, and the number of fans on Weibo increased rapidly with exaggerated words every day.
Some media magazines commented that—
"Since Ji Li's debut, he has either been filming to accumulate works, or relying on works to accumulate actual achievements!"
"From the actor to the villain, and then from the villain to the male third, he has surpassed 80% of the same-level actors without a 'positive male lead'."
"So far, every step that Ji Li has taken on the road of acting can be called a textbook-like progression!"
"Ji Li, you already have what it takes to become a top actor in the entertainment industry!"
