Ten pieces of cold knowledge in the field of film

Asimov, a world-famous master of science fiction, has a famous saying: "Man is an animal that has more useless knowledge, the happier it is." Do you really understand all these seemingly trivial and useless cold knowledge in the movie? You know, sometimes it is the attention and exploration of these interesting small problems that solve the big problems. Today, let's take some "cold posture" for big parents!

I remember that Wong Kar-wai once had an appointment with Luyu, which seemed to mean that it was a coincidence and that too many times seemed like a habit. But the title of the four-word film sounds and looks awesome!

the four words are a very ancient and natural form of language use by the Chinese people. There are a large number of four-character structures in the Book of songs, such as idioms, which imply rich, lean and short, multi-character structures, which is a very classic language habit. Wong Kar-wai's character tends to appreciate and praise the traditional aesthetic style, and the film style is consistent, so it is so. List all the film titles that he independently directed: Carmen in Mong Kok (1988) the True Story of Alfie (1990) Chongqing Forest (1994) East evil poison in the West (1994) fallen Angels (1995) Spring burst (1997) in the mood for Love (2000) 2046 (2004) Blueberry Night (2007)

in the film history of creating high box office at low cost   in the film history of creating high box office at low cost, It had always been "Blair the Witch" at the top of the list. In 2009, however, "the Ghost" released by Paramount Pictures broke the record, earning 197 million of the global box office with a production cost of just $11000. The rate of return is 17909 times. Of course, this excludes the issuance fee, which is quite a lot. Paramount spent more than 10 million yuan on issuing publicity. Top 10 high-return and low-cost films: 1. "Ghost record" in 2009, the production cost was $11000, the box office was $197 million, and the rate of return was 17909 times. 2. "Banshee Blair" in 1999, the production cost was $35000, the box office was $248 million, and the rate of return was 7094 times. 3. Curse, which cost $218 to produce in 2004 (wow, it's not even enough to buy a DV), grossed $660000, 3027 times. 4. "Mad Max" in 1980, it cost $200000 and grossed $100m at the box office, a return of 500x. 5 "Super size me" in 2004, it cost $65000 and grossed $29.53 million at the box office, a return of 454 times. 6.

I have studied the origin of the 24-hour statement before. first of all, it is not required by law. There is no difference between downloading pirated software and movies within 1 hour and deleting within 24 hours, and neither can be used as an excuse for liability. However, I have noticed that when foreign law firms send letters to websites asking for the deletion of infringing links, they are generally required to complete within 24 hours, while many large websites such as Google also promise to delete infringing content within 24 hours after receiving reliable reports. According to the "safe haven principle" in the (DMCA) of the Digital Millennium copyright Act of the United States, as long as the website deletes the infringing content in time after receiving the notice of the right holder, it does not have to bear tort liability. So the term "24-hour deletion" may have something to do with a lawyer's letter notifying the deletion of infringing links, but unlike websites, downloaders of pirated software and movies are not protected by the "safe haven principle", so deletion within 24 hours cannot be exempted from liability. And the disclaimer has no legal effect.

the player usually uses "triangle" to indicate playback, because of this: whether it is an audio tape or a videotape, if you want to play from scratch, there are more tapes left on the left wheel, which is similar to a right triangle in structure; when playing, the left wheel transfers the tape to the right wheel, and the direction also points to the right.

so fast forward is two triangles to the right (indicating accelerated transmission), and fast back is two triangles in the opposite direction. The origin of the stop button (square): the stop button is actually a block, that can be seen as something like this:

this is the structure in the cassette compartment of the cassette recorder (really exposed age). Do you see the square of metal directly below the two shafts? That is the playback head of the cassette recorder (the white one on the left is the recording head). If it starts playing, the head will pick up and touch the tape. When you stop playing, the head retreats and leaves the tape. So this block logo (square) indicates that the playback stops is quite vivid. Finally, let's talk about the pause button, which is a pair of short, thick vertical lines that originated from the pause mark Caesura at the end of poetry and music. Caesura is tilted in music and vertical in poetry.

the basic rules for box office sharing in Chinese film industry are as follows:

1. All box office receipts of the film are included in the electronic ticketing system, and the data are uniformly collected to the Office of Special funds for China Film Industry (referred to as the Special Resources Office). The statistical data of the special resources office shall be used as the basis for the sharing of accounts among the parties. two。 All film revenues first pay 3.3% of the special business tax and 5% of the special funds for the film industry. The remaining 91.7% is recognized as the "divisible box office" of a film. 3. In the divisible box office, cinemas and cinemas set aside 57%, and China Film set aside 1-3% of the distribution agency fee. The remaining 40-42% is attributed toFilm producers and distributors (40% in most cases). 4. The distributor of the film will charge 5-15% of the box office belonging to the producer as the distribution agency fee. That is, 2-6% of the divisible box office as the distribution agency fee. 5. In many cases, the distributor prepares the promotion and distribution fee for the film, and the distributor will charge an agent distribution fee of 12-20%. If the issuer promises to guarantee the bottom of the issue, buy out the issue, pay the production fee in advance, and so on, a higher issuing agency fee will be charged. 6. Some films are at a competitive disadvantage in the same period, and in order to increase the number of screenings, they promise box office rebates to cinemas and cinemas. Rebates generally account for 3-5% of the divisible box office. 7. The box office payback formula recovered by the producer is as follows: 1x (1-0.033) x 40% x (1-0.1) = 0.33 is the general sharing of the producer's account. In the above case, for example, a film with a final box office of 100 million yuan received a return of about 33 million yuan at the box office. 10 million US dollars, that is, the cost of doing this is 60 million yuan, and the target box office is more than 200 million yuan. The reasonable publicity cost of making a film in China is about 10% of the target box office. In other words, about 20 million will be spent on publicity. The total cost is 80 million RMB, regardless of other recovery channels, according to the above algorithm, it does take 240 million to get back the cost.

when it comes to Indian films, you will think of song and dance elements, almost all of them. For example, Slumdog Millionaire, who won an Oscar for best film at that time, thought that the British director should not dance now. I never thought that I would have to make up for that belated dance at the end. At the same time, Indian films are very long, almost every one takes nearly three hours. The reason is amazing. Because India is hot for most of the year, audiences want to enjoy the cool and pass the time in the cinema. Especially for the vast majority of the poor, spending a small sum of money to spend half a day in a dilapidated cinema in a township to watch beautiful women dance is their greatest enjoyment. If the time of the movie is too short, the audience will find it boring. In order to meet the needs of the public, the early Indian filmmakers added a large number of songs and dances loved by the people to increase the length of the film (conscience of the industry! And the cost of shooting songs and dances in the studio is very low. Over time, the fixed genre style of Indian films was formed. During the 3-hour movie, there will be a 15-minute break in the halftime, and most people will leave the scene to buy snacks and snacks at the counter.

"Avatar" is the world's largest box office, ranking first in global box office history. The world's first film grossed more than $1.9 billion and made its way to $2.7 billion. In 17 days, Avatar grossed more than $1 billion at the global box office, the fastest in history. It grossed $2.7517 billion at the global box office in 2009, with a total box office of 1.33 billion yuan in mainland China, making it the highest-grossing film in China so far. It took $749.7 million at the box office in North America, making it the highest-grossing film in North America. Cameron's last film, Titanic, held the record, but a decade later, he broke the myth with another film of his own. No wonder Cameron spoke at the Oscars: I am the king of the world. However, adjusted for inflation, the highest-grossing film was the 1939 epic gone with the Wind, which grossed nearly $400m, which was about $6 billion before World War II. The second place was "Star Wars" in 1977, and the third place was "the Sound of Music" in 1965. Titanic in 1997 ranked fifth, while Avatar, the highest-grossing film at the box office, only ranked 14th, behind Ben-Hur in 1959.

Let's not talk about foreign ones, let's just talk about Chinese ones. China's top five directors (should be the top five in the minds of most people): Chen Kaige: the first wife was surnamed Zhang, then married Hong Huang, and married actress Chen Hong after divorce. Chen Hong is currently a producer and royal actress. Zhang Yimou: divorced from Xiao Hua, a female worker, and almost married his imperial actress Gong Li. She married Chen Ting in 2011 and has two sons and a daughter. Feng Xiaogang: after divorcing nurse Zhang Di, she married the actor Xu Fan. Xu Fan is his royal actress. Jiang Wen: after divorce from French wife Sandrin, she married actress Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun is her royal actress. Jia Zhangke: divorced from Beijing Film classmate Zhu Jiong and married actor Zhao Tao. Zhao Tao is his royal actress. There are two interesting phenomena: one is that both of them have been divorced, and the other is that they have married or almost married the leading lady. Appendix: Wang Quanan, who broke up with Yu Nan, the imperial heroine who has been in love with each other for ten years, married the new imperial heroine Zhang Yuqi. Then let's talk about the top ten directors in Hong Kong (which should be the top ten in the minds of most people): Mrs. Chen Yichen, Wong Kar-wai is going to shoot the True Story of Alfie, and she helped him bring in tens of millions. The producer of all Wong Kar-wai films. John Woo: Mrs. Niu Chunlong, the two were colleagues and have shared joys and sorrows so far. Tsui Hark: his wife Shi Nansheng, vice president of Atlanta, president of Hong Kong Film Studio, and producer of Tsui Hark films. He is currently divorced. Chen Kexin: his wife Wu Junru, the star of the industry, the powerful arm of Chen Kexin. To Qifeng: Mrs. Huang Baoling, the two were former classmates in the training class and got married early. Be behind the scenes in WiFi before marriage, be a housekeeper and a good wife after marriage. Liu Weiqiang: his wife Angela, a Chinese-English hybrid, is a film planner who currently has three sons and a daughter. Wang Jing: her ladyship is not a member of the circle. They married early. Wang Jing became a father at the age of 24. Married for more than 30 years without divorce. Liu Zhenwei: my wife is not a member of the circle. She is in Vancouver with her daughter. Married for 32 years without divorce. Pang Haoxiang: his wife is not a member of the circle, the prototype of Chunjiao's story in Zhiming and Chunjiao. Er Dongsheng: married Taiwanese woman Wang Ruixia in 1995 and divorced half a year later. In 1999, er Dongsheng met Luo Xiaowen, a kindergarten teacher, and got married in 2008. At present, Luo Xiaowen helps er Dongsheng manage Infinite Picture Company. Appendix: gay director Guan Jinpeng andFemale director Xu Anhua is still unmarried. The top ten directors in Hong Kong should not be short of them. Let's talk about Taiwan's top five directors (which should be the top five in the minds of most people): Ang Lee: Mrs. Lin Huijia, as we all know, has raised Ang Lee for six years and is a good wife. Hou Xiaoxian: Mrs. Cao Baofeng, there is not much information on the Internet. Hou Hsiao-hsien seldom had an affair. Yang Dechang: the first marriage was in the United States; the second marriage was with singer Cai Qin for ten years; and the third marriage was with pianist Peng Maili. Both Cai Qin and Peng Maili have participated in the music work of Yang Dechang films. Wei Desheng: the success of his wife Qiu Yurong, Cape No. 7 and Sedek Balais is inseparable from her ruined support. Zhu Yanping: his wife Luo Tiaohui used to be Zhu Yanping's scene note. after marriage, she produced and supervised the production of many of Zhu Yanping's films. Appendix: gay director Tsai Ming-Liang, his marital status can not be found online, but his relationship with Li Kangsheng is close to his partner. An actor. (of course, Taiwan's top five directors cannot do without Tsai Ming-Liang. In addition, you may have an objection to Zhu Yanping. In the 1980s and 1990s, Zhu Yanping was the only director in Taiwan to make a commercial film, the equivalent of Feng Xiaogang from the mainland. By comparison, all five mainland directors have experienced divorce, which to some extent has something to do with the Cultural Revolution, when many marriages were relatively blind and were not free love.

A Russian Ark, 200 years of modern history of Soviet Russia. Really admire the completion of such a long film without any editing of a single shot, although the story era is somewhat reluctantly interspersed, but its success is great. In other words, life without seeing the Russian Ark is incomplete. Two thousand actors, three hundred years, thirty-five rooms, three symphony orchestras, seven months of rehearsal, one shot. The museum only gave the crew two days, so 40 electricians spent 26 hours laying out light in 35 rooms. Then, German photographer Tillman Bartner finished shooting all the pictures in one breath in more than 90 minutes, carrying a high-definition Sony digital camera weighing more than 30 kilograms. All I can say is, these guys are awesome. Because it was continuously filmed for 90 minutes at a time in a palace in St. Petersburg, the shooting time coincided with the film time completely. Sokolov repeatedly stressed that there would not be a switch in his work, which is the ultimate play of his preferred long-shot aesthetics. In addition, this is the first feature film shot directly on the hard drive and uses a high-definition digital camera. This is a huge and complex project, and the film spans four centuries, scanning the turbulent winds and clouds of Russian history. It is undoubtedly a great challenge, even an adventure, for the director to complete the shooting. The film does not use simultaneous recording, every scene detail must be accurately calculated and arranged, and post-production will adjust the color, light and other picture effects without editing. In fact, this is not the longest film I have ever seen. I once saw a Porno, with a big bed, several bed performing artists, men and women, taking turns, a camera lying there, occasionally moving the angle. The whole film is two hours long, uncut, authentic, and, of course, the most important thing is that it is not boring. Its content is several groups of men and women's blatant contempt for spiritual pursuit and the ultimate exploration of physical happiness, and realizes the deconstruction of postmodernism and the anatomy of neo-realism in artistic techniques. It is the long-shot NO.1 of the movie I have seen.

MacGaufin is from Francois Truffaut's classic interview with Alfred Hitchcock published in 1966. Hitchcock explains it this way: this is a kind of beating around the bush, a stepping stone, a means, it is often called "the organ of magic". You know, the constant plot in Kipling's spy story is stealing the fortress map. This is McGeffen. "McGeffen" is a name people give to this kind of action, that is, stealing. File; steal. Steal, steal. Secret. Actually, it doesn't make any sense. It is pointless for logicians to find the truth in McGeffen. In my work, I always think that "documents", or "materials", or the "secrets" of building a fortress should be extremely important to the characters in the film, but it doesn't make any sense to me as a narrator. So according to Hitchcock: "McGeffen is nothing." To put it simply, McGoffin is a "fake trick", deliberately bluffing the audience. To take a story: a female accountant, was cheated by a man, stole the boss's money, and then agreed to run away with the man. The man could not travel with her in order to avoid the police, and the woman went on the road alone. Tired midway, the woman stayed in a small hotel. Killed by an unknown person. The police solved the case and it turned out that the innkeeper was a psychopath. This story is actually Hitchcock's "Psycho". The first paragraph is McGoffin, the plot of the absconding, which was completely ignored later, as if the director had forgotten. As a matter of fact, McGoffin is not a cow's skill, but what Hitchcock said to be alive, coupled with a bunch of articles written by believers, has become something that many fans like to talk about. to put it bluntly, it is a simple narrative technique. In Chinese, you can find a bunch of similar nouns: distraction, mystery, plank road, covert, cover people's ears and eyes, false and true …. Each can be brought to explain McGuffin. Although Hitchcock believes that the audience does not really care what McGoffin is, George Lucas believes that McGoffin itself should be very powerful and should be as attractive to the audience as the protagonists.
