The Director of Music Department

Although I was a little disappointed with the script of Wang Yifan's "People on the Road".

Yes, everyone is not a fool, a book, whether it is good, whether it has the potential of a big explosion, etc., these, in fact, can still judge one or two.

And the story of "People on the Journey", okay?

In fact, as far as the story is concerned, it is still pretty good, and it is also by Wang Yifan.

But probably because of Dai Xinyue or Fu Rong, the previous expectations of Wang Yifan were too high.

As a result, Wang Yifan gave a story that is indeed very grounded, but the problem is that although this story has a selling point, it is not that big.

In other words, this story has the potential to sell, but the ceiling is also not high.

Wang Yifan smiled and said: "This story is just a test of the waters, a down-to-earth comedy, which is certainly pleasing, but the same kind of story actually contains a little nostalgia, but the box office ceiling is hardly high. One point, Dao Fu must be mentally prepared, and President Dai is the same."

Don't Wang Yifan know?

of course not.

There are many elements for a movie to sell well, but it may not necessarily be a good story to sell well.

Dai Xinyue and Fu Rong both seemed a little embarrassed when they heard this.

It's just that Dai Xinyue quickly asked in confusion, "Does Director Wang have any other plans?"

Yes, it's not to blame Dai Xinyue for having such an idea, but the era of light and shadow needs Wang Yifan's help to train a great director.

But obviously, "People on the Road" don't talk about 2 billion at the box office, 1 billion is too difficult, too difficult.

Although Fu Rong is the first one and there are two candidates, Fang Xiongfei is shooting a thriller. Could this kind of subject matter go to heaven?

On the other hand, Mi Huayuan's side, speaking of it, is unrealistic.

Don't look at "Suspect X's Devotion" making the crime speculation film look like a flowery scene.

But even "Devotion of Suspect X", in fact, the box office cannot be too high.

And this is already the existence of the ceiling.

Could it be that Mi Huayuan can surpass Chen Shaojun in one fell swoop?

Therefore, it is Fu Rong who Dai Xinyue puts the most hope.

She believed that Wang Yifan could not fail to know this.

Wang Yifan smiled and said: "Of course there is a follow-up plan. In fact, it is difficult for comedy movies to take off, including Lin Tao. It actually took a long time to reach the box office threshold of a big director."

"Is it because his movie is not good? Of course not, but because this is the shortcoming of comedy movies."

Fu Rong and Dai Xinyue both nodded at the same time.

Don’t look at Lin Tao as the number one comedy man in China, but in fact, Lin Tao’s movies are quite embarrassing. It’s true that they often sell well. However, Lin Tao’s film is above the 2 billion box office threshold of a big director by default. Only the last two movies have been achieved!

It can also be seen in itself that comedy movies are of course a popular genre and a very popular genre, but this type of movie has a relatively low ceiling.

Even if it is a big comedy director like Lin Tao, it is difficult to break through this ceiling quickly.

The smile on Fu Rong's face couldn't help but froze!

My heart is also bitter.

"But..." Wang Yifan laughed again.

"Other movies can create IP to increase the box office potential of movies and break the box office ceiling, so why not comedy movies?" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"In my plan, "Man on the Journey" is only the first part, um, the first part of the'囧' series! So the choice of actors is particularly important. Perhaps the first "Man on Journey" is difficult. Achieved our goal, but what about the second and third part? And the core actors, it is best to be able to find a good, not to change actors at the end!"

In the previous life, in fact, the "囧" series was particularly obvious. Changing actors is a taboo for most series of movies!

The protagonist of the previous life "Taiyu of People on the Journey" is still Xu Guangtou and Wang Baobao, and a Huang Bo has been added.

And "Thailand" is probably the best-known one in this series.

And the latter "Hong Kong 囧", to be honest, is a bit unsatisfactory.

In particular, Huang and Wang have been replaced and joined a Baobei, which has been complained by all kinds of people.

It is also the worst series of 囧 by word of mouth.

Of course, this is probably because, in fact, at the beginning, Xu shaved his head and never thought that "People on the Road" would make a "囧" series of movies.

Even in "Tai囧", he never expected that this film with an investment of only 50 million would have a box office of more than 1 billion.

It has since opened the era of one billion domestic films.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to have a particularly good plan. Except for the first and second films, in fact, although the following movies are also hung: the title of the 囧 series, the fact is that there is no connection at all.

But this world is different. Since Wang Yifan wants to create this series, he will definitely not go the old way.

Since the plan is to create the 囧 series, it must be truly the same as the previous two, each of which will be linked.

The biggest feature of IP is actually this.

Every movie does not exist in isolation, every movie appears, it will make the audience feel familiar, but there will be new discoveries.

And these need to be planned from the beginning.

Of course, if you don't change actors in a series of movies, it is inevitable that the actors will be paid more for one film than for one film.

But compared to the fame and popularity that the series of movies can bring and the box office blessed by feelings, those are really not worth mentioning.

Upon hearing Wang Yifan's words, Fu Rong and Dai Xinyue's eyes lit up.

In particular, Dai Xinyue asked eagerly, "Comedy series?"

Wang Yifan nodded: "Why are people on the road? The first part is filming the Spring Festival and the domestic drama. The second part, we can completely go abroad, such as island countries, other countries in Southeast Asia, such as Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Later, you can go to Europe and the United States, and even to Africa, all of which are completely fine!"

"And for this series, we need to accumulate ‘囧’ gas and make the brand out. Then the follow-up story will be easier to tell and sell."

Both Dai Xinyue and Fu Rong looked astonished after hearing them, and then they were shocked again.

The eyes that looked at Wang Yifan all carried a pair of eyes, as expected, there was no avatar under the reputation.

In fact, Wang Yifan's thoughts really refreshed them.

Because the series of movies, to be honest, are actually relatively rare in China.

On the one hand, most of the time, many directors want to create a series of movies, but as a result, often the first film is directly cold.

On the other hand, the domestic market is changing too fast, and many domestic directors are quite eager for quick success.

Often the first one sells big, and the second one starts immediately. Even many times, in fact, there is no such plan at all, but only because the first one sells so hurriedly to start the second one.

As for the series of movies, there is something special about it!
