Chapter 240 Respect Movies (5/6)
After the Olympics, Lao Too's reputation reached its peak!
"National Master" was originally a derogatory term. The media invented it to disgust Zhang Yimou, saying that he was a royal literati and a lackey...
It should be "No One Can Leave". At the end, after Wei Minzhi was reported by the TV station, the students were found. The TV station sent a special car to take them back to the village, and a truckload of school supplies donated by all sectors of society was also sent to the school.
After watching the Cannes Film Festival, Jacob, chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, publicly expressed his dislike, believing that the film is promoting the government.
Zhang Yimou wrote an open letter to break with Cannes, took the movie back, and sent it to Venice.
In the eyes of many people, Lao Mouzi is just wearing peace and singing praises for the political axe.
Later, "Hero" was released, and this criticism reached its peak. A bunch of experts and professors jumped out to whitewash Zhang Yimou's values and make the tyrant Ying Zheng...
It can only be said that the reason why Zhang Yimou was able to become Zhang Yimou was not only capable of his strong resistance to stress, but his ability to withstand pressure was not within reach of ordinary people!
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was a shocking battle!
The name of the national teacher has become a respectful title.
"Three Guns" is almost a work that has attracted the attention of the whole country!
The pre-screening will be held in large cinemas in major cities across the country starting from 18:00 on December 10. As of 1:00 a.m. on the 11th, the national pre-screening box office will reach 10.11 million.
The first day's score was 21 million, setting a record high for domestic films!
Well…
"Three Guns"'s first-day schedule reached 55%...
"Mulan" and "2012" are released directly, and "Traveler Love" has less than 8% of the films left...
It has only been released for 4 days, and the box office of "Three Guns" has easily exceeded 100 million.
Even CCTV's "News Broadcast" broadcasted the news that "Three Guns" had a box office of 21 million on the first day in a brief message, saying that it set a "historical high for domestic films."
In order to create momentum for "Three Guns", Zhang Weipin directly criticized Han Sanye as a mountain devil!
"A few days ago, I met a leader from the Film Bureau. He asked me why you have not been invited to the Huabiao Award many times in the past two years. I said that the Huabiao Award has become a dominant and personal worship. What I know is the highest political award. Those who don't know think it is a meeting of which company - the audience is all the leaders of mainland Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there are shouts of "Thank you, Master Han San" on it. What is "Three Master"? At first, I thought the mountain deity was coming, making the Huabiao Award chaotic."
So, Xiaogang Cannon is nothing. Do he dare to target anyone blatantly?
Why is Zhang Wei so arrogant?
He has Zhang Yimou in his hand!
He really thinks that the box office of "Three Guns" can reach 450 million...
...
Let me say first, as of December, the latest screen report was released, with 4,800 screens...
Theoretically speaking, according to Zhang Yimou's appeal, "Three Guns" can generate 50 million in a single day - "Golden Armor" has exceeded 30 million in a single day!
At that time, the number of mainland screens was 3,034.
But, "Three Guns" is so...unexpected!
When Zhao Benshan, Xiao Shen Yang, and Cheng Ye and other duo actors constantly subverted Master Zhang himself in Zhang Yimou's movie, they directly caused some people to be aesthetically confused - "This is a duo Zhuan movie! It is a collection of Zhao Benshan's sketches!" "Is this still Zhang Yimou?" "Is this still a movie?"
Some people even sighed: Zhang Lang had finished his talents, and Zhang Yimou's era has changed.
Someone said a fair sentence: In fact, the murder of the shopkeeper Mazi and the corpse stealing and the wrong killing were originally light and clever jumping and humorous. Deleting the Duo Renzhuan in the movie, this could have been an exquisite and good movie.
Douban has all negative reviews:
When the movie was finished, the audience in the cinema was so thundered that they were motionless. When the songs at the end of the film were finished, everyone began to remember to scold Zhang Yimou.
What a terrible movie this is, I don't want to recommend it to anyone unless you are a die-hard fan of Xiao Shenyang. Is this the work of the greatest director in our country like this? Is this a comedy? What kind of movie is this? It's full of madness, chaos, non-humor, and stiff comedy, which really makes people collapse. It's indeed a movie that comes to grab money as expected.
Well…
It’s very embarrassing. “Traveler Love in Time and Space” has been tricked into “Three Guns”!
Zhang Jin said directly on Weibo, 'A friend of mine reads the poster and actors of "Three Guns" and sneered, "It's really too much like the vulgar folk song and dance troupe performance poster of the striptease in the countryside, so I don't want to watch it." That's right, in most people's eyes, "Three Guns" and Director Zhang are like a farmer gradually moving away from the north.'
‘The Traveler in Time and Space is warm, with truth, goodness and beauty. This is a good movie that suits the times!’
Lu Xiaoran's fans even publicly shouted online: "The era of Zhang Yimou is over, please pay attention to Lu Xiaoran!"
He directly put Lu Xiaoran on the opposite side of Zhang Yimou...
The effect... is very good. Anyway, the schedule of "Space Love Traveler" has exceeded that of "Spirituals". As of December 14, "Space Love Traveler" was released for two weeks, and the single-day result can exceed 4 million, with a cumulative box office of 230 million...
...
In fact, Lu Xiaoran knew that there must be something wrong with "Three Guns"!
You think, filming will start in early June, and post-production will be launched in August, and firmly announced that it will be released on December 10.
The script is based on "Blood Maze"...
"Blood Maze" is a work by the Coen Brothers. What are the characteristics of the Coen Brothers movies? Movie Noir + Hitchcock!
At least that's what it is about "Blood Maze"!
Very large scale...
Adapting the script itself is very difficult!
Moreover, the project "Three Guns" was led by Zhang Weipin. He spent $2 million to buy the adaptation rights, and then Zhang Yimou took over...
This movie is probably to make up for the new painting film company - Lao Mouzi, who went to the Olympics. The new painting film has not won for more than two years!
It's a work made purely for money!
After the movie was released, several big Vs followed a bunch of people as soon as they spoke. In addition, the audience was not welcomed by many experimental shooting techniques. There was almost no line in the second half of "Three Guns", which made it difficult for the audience to experience it for commercial movies;
Another reason is that the director is Zhang Yimou, and stepping on Zhang Yimou has been politically correct until now...
Although I don’t know why, there are just a bunch of people who think Zhang Yimou is trash...
But "Three Guns" really has problems!
The biggest problem is probably: Zhang Yimou doesn’t need to shoot this kind of movie!
...
On the 16th, the most important publicity stage of "Traveler Love in Time and Space" has passed, and now is the consolidation period.
The main creative teams also separate to participate in different activities.
Tangtang led Zheng Shuang to "Women in the World", while Lu Xiaoran continued his campus trip. At this moment, he was in the auditorium in Fudan.
There is no need to elaborate on the previous discussion, but at the end of the questioning session, a boy wearing glasses suddenly stood up and said, "What do you think of "Three Guns Surprise"?"
Xiao Luzi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I haven't watched this movie yet. I heard that my reputation is not very good?"
"It's not just bad, it's just a bad movie!"
"That's right, what's the matter Zhang Yimou photographed! He's shameless to ask for money!"
"With this level, I'm so embarrassed to say that I'm a big director?"
Listen to the resentment of the masses!
Lu Xiaoran smiled: "Can't "Strange Shrine" and "Fengyun 2" be bad?"
"rotten!"
in unison…
"Okay, I'm just kidding, but there are indeed many news recently that Chinese movies are full of bad movies. I think it's mainly because many mediocre movies have won high box offices, giving everyone a sense of stupidity in the Chinese film industry and a lot of money. In fact, it's quite simple to evaluate a movie: narrative and characters, as long as you pass these two things, it's a qualified work!"
"I really think that many investors and filmmakers are a little bit ill-fated, just numbly piled up the so-called "big scenes" and "cast lineups", and wishfully thought that the audience could immediately take out the money in their pockets when they saw this and create new Chinese-language movie box office records."
"The reason for this is that our market is developing too fast and the audience has a great demand for movies, which is also the reason why bad movies have high box office..."
