Chapter 199: Amazing debut
The premiere of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" was naturally held in Dragon City, which was the base camp of Yueguan.
At the premiere, the pomp and circumstance was unprecedented.
Yue Guan actually didn't deliberately manage his connections.
But if you bloom, butterflies will come.
Yueguan is now blooming dazzlingly.
There is no need for him to deliberately manage his connections, there are people who want to befriend him.
When "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, Wu Jing couldn't even find a few friends in the circle to help him stand on the platform, and this kind of embarrassment could not have happened here in Yueguan.
Coupled with Wang Jing's connections, I think that when Hong Kong films were in decline and a large number of people couldn't even eat, it was Wang Jing's continuous filming that gave them the opportunity to work and make money.
Many kings and queens in the Hong Kong circle are grateful to Wang Jingjing.
The king of bad movies is the king of bad movies, Wang Jing's status in the industry, especially in the Hong Kong circle, you can't move.
So the number of people who came to cheer today is not ordinary.
The reporter squatted at the premiere and saw a lot of big names, looking like he was attending an awards ceremony.
"Andy Lau, Andy Lau is here. ”
"The scum has arrived, too. ”
"My God, that's Li Lianjie? He will actually appear? Isn't it already announced that he will retire?"
"Look at it, Li Jiaxin, Li Jiaxin, my goddess. ”
"This should all be for Wang Jing, and Wang Fatzi's connections are still stable. ”
Wang Jing's connections really don't need to be blown.
shouted a little in the circle, although everyone knew that they were likely to be hated by Wu Baige when they came here, many people still came.
Wu Baige didn't dare to let "Taiping Wheel" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Demon Sect Master" collide head-on, this posture of surrendering without a fight explains a lot of problems.
Therefore, there is no need to hesitate to stand in line now.
Wang Jing has a lot of friends who came to cheer on the scene, and the coffee seat looks awesome, but when it comes to the guests who set off the high tide of the scene, it depends on Yue Guan.
The status of the group of kings and queens has arrived, but most of the fans have entered middle age, and things like chasing stars will not be too fanatical.
So their ability to carry the box office has also begun to degrade, and the market has even begun to abandon them.
And the connections on Yueguan's side, except for a group of old artists, the rest are basically popular Xiaohuadan or first-line male stars in the Central Plains.
The status of these people is not as good as that of the king and queen, but their popularity is really high, and everyone can attract a lot of attention when they appear.
Liu Yifei really came. ”
"Unexpectedly, Tang Yan and Yang Mi also came together, and they are hot now. ”
Huang Xiaoming and Jia Jingwen appeared together, and the heroes and heroines of the TV series version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" stood on the platform for the movie version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and the face was really in place. ”
"Liu Shishi is actually here, and Xiaohuadan is about to be collected by Yue Guan. ”
"Not only that, have you seen Zhao Liying and Zhu Yilong? The second season of "Piercing Ming" they filmed was also bought from Yue Guan. ”
"Who's that woman, why did a group of people surround her?"
"Let me see, I'm Nima, isn't that a one-star princess? The president of the five-star group, the founder of ByteDance, she will actually appear here, is the scandal between her and Yue Guan some time ago true?"
"There is another senior, it seems to be Zha Liangyong, the president of the Martial Arts Literature Society, another billionaire. Yue Guan's connections are simply amazing. ”
"Wait, Feng Xiaogang is actually here too?"
Yes, Feng Xiaogang also came.
Previously, when Feng Xiaogang's "1942" premiered, Yue Guan was invited, but Yue Guan did not go.
One thing to say, the quality of "1942" is not bad, but because of the subject matter, it is destined to be cannon fodder, and Yue Guan is too lazy to ride his face in person.
And he also postponed the release time of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" by two weeks, and the face work has been done.
This time at the premiere of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master", Yue Guan thought about the exchange of courtesies, so he also sent an invitation to Feng Xiaogang.
I didn't expect him to come.
The little steel cannon appeared, and of course Yue Guan and Wang Jing welcomed it personally.
Xiao Gangpao didn't say anything that made Yueguan Wang Jing unable to come to the stage, but said lightly: "Thank you two for giving face, postponing the release time for two weeks, I'll learn from the experience and see how commercial films are made." ”
Although the tone was still a little yin and yang, Yue Guan and Wang Jing glanced at each other, and no one took it seriously.
The box office trend of "1942" is very clear, a doomed cannon fodder.
Everyone is so miserable, what is it to make people yin and yang weird? Anyway, they will definitely be able to use the box office to ride their faces.
Although it is only premiered today, Yue Guan and Wang Jingjing do not think that the box office of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" will not be as good as "1942".
Obviously, there are only these two blockbusters in this schedule, and the audience doesn't like to watch that one, so they must watch this one.
"Director Feng, please take a seat, and the movie will start immediately. ”
Yue Guan personally arranged a small steel cannon.
The main reason is that there are a lot of female stars who came today.
Many of these female celebrities have had a fit with him, and in this kind of public occasion, they don't know what to think, they always approach him intentionally or unintentionally, and do some ambiguous actions.
Then it caused an of journalists and hostility from other women.
Yue Guan didn't want to stage the Shura field plot at this kind of premiere.
I really want to tear X and wait for me to make a version of the palace fight drama another day, and stuff all of you into it, and if you don't want to, you can't tear it up.
For now, let's watch the movie honestly.
After the guests were almost here, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" finally began to premiere.
The lights go out.
Everyone fell silent.
Yue Guan felt that his hand was caught, and the other party's palm was full of sweat.
He turned his head and looked, it was Gao Yuanyuan.
She didn't mean to take advantage of Yue Guan.
"I was nervous. ”
It's the first time to make a movie with such a big investment, and it's the first time to see such a big momentum.
If "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" hit the streets, she didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
Actually, there will be no consequences.
If "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Leader" hits the streets, the biggest impact will be Yue Guan, and the industry will question his ability to carry the box office.
For others, the impact is not great.
Originally, no one expected the three heroines to carry the box office, at least not yet.
As for Wang Jing, the reputation of the king of bad movies is well known to the world, and making one more bad movie is just a basic operation.
That's why Yue Guan should be the most nervous.
But Yue Guan didn't.
He patted Gao Yuanyuan's soft hair to show comfort, but he didn't speak.
Now, just watch a movie quietly.
Not only him, but everyone at the scene was very quiet.
"Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" was regarded by the industry as the head seed that can hit 500 million at the box office before it was released, and everyone is looking forward to it, but the quality of this movie will not be known until after watching it.
Yue Guan and Wang Jing did not arrange the screening in advance, the crew did not lack publicity funds, and the market did not need to warm up the screening, so there was no need to spend that effort.
Therefore, it is the first time that many people have seen the finished product of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Demon Sect Master".
In the field, Feng Xiaogang and Zha Liangyong looked very seriously.
One of these two is a direct competitor, and the other is a talented fan of Yue Guan, and they both want to know what Yue Guan can make martial arts movies look like.
The answer soon appeared in front of them.
At the beginning of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Yue Guan appeared.
It's just that he is not playing Zhang Wuji, but Zhang Cuishan.
Moreover, Yue Guan and Li Jiaxin appeared together, one of them played Zhang Cuishan, and the other played Yin Susu.
Seeing these two people walking side by side, Feng Xiaogang's heart sank.
As a big director of commercial films, he is still sure of the audience's psychology.
Yue Guan and Li Jiaxin's appearance is too good, and appearing on the big screen is in itself an attraction to the audience.
He can imagine that at this time, audiences across the country will definitely be dazzled when they see Yue Guan and Li Jiaxin, and feel that the movie ticket money was not spent in vain.
And the subsequent plot will deepen the audience's impression.
Martial arts, a fairy tale for adults.
"Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" dismantles this kind of fairy tale.
Zhang Cuishan was forced to death on Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday, and Yin Susu was martyred.
Before the martyrdom, Yin Susu pulled the Shaolin Temple monk limit for one and said the words to Zhang Wuji, planting the seeds of revenge for Zhang Wuji.
And Zhang Sanfeng's strong shot pushed the opening wave of small high tide to the extreme.
The little steel cannon came with his wife Xu Fan.
After seeing this, Xu Fan asked Xiao Gangcang: "What do you think of this opening?"
The little steel cannon looked solemn: "Unconventional." ”
Yes, unconventional.
The plot does not follow the original book, but it does not make people feel disobedient, but full of expectations.
Especially the performance of Yin Susu and Zhang Sanfeng.
It can completely bring unexpected joy to the audience.
Zha Liangyong also sat in the audience, and when he saw this, his heart moved slightly.
"Changed Zhang Sanfeng's setting? No, it's not a change, it's a deep dig. ”
As a die-hard fan of Yueguan, Zha Liangyong has in-depth research on several martial arts in Yueguan, and soon realized that even in the original work of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", there are many side descriptions of Zhang Sanfeng's domineering.
For example, when the disciple Song Yuanqiao said, "The supreme martial arts, the sword slays the dragon, the sky does not come out, who competes with the front", Zhang Sanfeng replied lightly, "Not hundreds of years, at most seventy or eighty years, when I was young, I never heard these words."
seems to be an ordinary answer, but what is shown on the side is Lao Zhang's domineering and calm.
When he was young, he swept away the demons, climbed to the top of the world, and supported the martial arts of the post-five peerless era with the power of one person.
At that time, the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slayer were still not famous at all.
Later, he cultivated himself and founded the Wudang School, and the martial arts returned to the era of bright stars, but there has always been a sun in the sky above the martial arts - that is himself.
Another time, Zhang Sanfeng went to Shaolin to worship the mountain, and after seeing Zhang Sanfeng, the emptiness of the Shaolin monk was directly frightened, and he came to the sentence "Thousands of monks in Shaolin are rushing up, and you may not be able to pick the Shaolin Temple." ”
One may not be, which is enough to show Shaolin's fear of Zhang Sanfeng.
and Zhang Sanfeng's fame when he was young.
Lao Zhang cultivated immortals in the later stage, but when he swept away the demons in the early stage, his subordinates must have been stained with blood, otherwise it would be impossible to scare the monks of Shaolin Temple into that appearance, let alone be recognized as the first person in the world.
"Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" shapes Zhang Sanfeng in a domineering direction, but in fact, there is no problem with logic.
At the same time, Zhang Wuji's transformation is also very logical.
A child whose parents died when he was a child, a child who was bullied by Wudang disciples since he was a child, he can be cowardly, but also forbearing.
No longer erupts in silence, but perishes in silence.
Zhang Wuji broke out.
When he was forced to jump off the cliff by Song Qingshu and Zhou Zhiruo and met the fire foreman Tuo, all the audience had already realized that Zhang Wuji was going to learn Jiuyang Divine Skill.
The actor of the fire foreman Tuo surprised the audience very much.
Chiba Shinichi, the hero he created in "Fengyun", is also a classic character, domineering and leaking.
Let him play this fire foreman who has always been unconvinced by Zhang Sanfeng, and his image, temperament and acting skills are very suitable.
Zhang Sanfeng is the first person in the world, and he is very invincible and domineering by Hong Jinbao. This kind of cognition has been deeply rooted in the minds of the audience, and if he changes to a small boss at this time, the audience will not think that he has the qualifications to be comparable to Zhang Sanfeng.
But let Chiba Shinichi play the fire foreman, there is no such problem.
The audience will subconsciously substitute for the hero.
Domineering to domineering.
Chiba Shinichi can definitely hold up the momentum of this kind of demon.
And the most amazing thing for the audience is the way Zhang Wuji obtained Jiuyang Divine Skill.
The audience who rushed to watch the movie on the first day were all viewers who were familiar with the plot.
But Zhang Wuji's way of obtaining Jiuyang's magic skills still amazed these audiences who are familiar with the plot.
The fire foreman Tuo, the demon of this generation, was actually deceived by Zhang Wuji, and he took the initiative to give "Jiuyang Divine Skill" to Zhang Wuji.
Especially after Zhang Wuji said the sentence "Not only beautiful women can't be trusted, but even loyal and honest men can't be trusted", the audience watching the movie was dazzled.
The little steel cannon couldn't sit still at all.
Xu Fan sensed that something was wrong with the little steel cannon, and said with concern: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Gang Cannon said in a deep voice: "Zhang Wuji's character change is standing, the audience will not play again, this movie is half the success." ”
After Xiao Gang Cannon found out that the plot of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" was different from the original book, he was also relieved, because the original party was the most picky, even if Yue Guan was the original author, it would be difficult for the original party to accept the plot change.
Yue Guan has changed so much, in his eyes, it is likely that the experiment will fail.
But after seeing Zhang Wuji's successful design of the fire foreman, the small steel cannon understood that this possibility basically no longer existed.
Zhang Wuji's personality change has been completely established, both in terms of logic and detailed behavior.
This kind of change in character design is not a brain hole for the sake of brain holes, there is strict logical support behind it, and there are practical actions to support it, which makes this version of Zhang Wuji completely different from the original work.
The audience will not play again, but will completely substitute for this version of Zhang Wuji's perspective.
"As long as the plot doesn't collapse, the box office of this movie will definitely not be bad. The tone of the little steel cannon was a little complicated.
He hopes that the plot behind "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" will pull his hips, so that the box office of "1942" can also look better.
But he couldn't find fault with the filming of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master", and he didn't think that Wang Jing would suddenly be inaccurate in the back.
In fact, there really isn't.
Not only that, after Zhang Wuji learned the Jiuyang Divine Skill, the whole process of the plot behind him was high-energy.
The six major factions besieged Guangmingding, and the Ruyang Palace, headed by Zhao Min, wanted to compete with each other for the fisherman's profit, but in the end it cheapened Zhang Wuji.
It is worth mentioning that the famous scene where Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji met for the first time, and Zhang Min was riding a white horse and looking back and smiling, aroused uncontrollable admiration from the audience.
Even female viewers can feel the beauty that almost overflows the screen.
Sultry.
And Zhang Wuji learned the great shift of the universe, successfully thwarted Cheng Kun's conspiracy on the top of the light, saved the Mingjiao with the power of one person, repelled the six major factions of the righteous path, and the high-profile pretending scene throughout the whole process made countless audiences extremely satisfied.
Only when Zhou Zhiruo stabbed Zhang Wuji, the audience was a little unhappy, but it was still within the range of endurance.
After the Battle of Guangmingding, Zhang Wuji rectified the Ming Sect, became the leader of the Ming Sect, and re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, but found that the righteous martial arts had suffered heavy losses.
And in the process of tracking, Mingjiao and his party also fell into Zhao Min's plot. Zhang Wuji went to find Zhao Min to ask for an antidote, and at this time, Zhao Min deliberately revealed the whereabouts of the Mingjiao group to the Emei faction, and asked Zhang Wuji to choose one of the two.
Is it to find her trouble or to save the Ming Sect.
Zhang Wuji's eyes flashed, and he directly chose to capture Zhao Min.
Screen switching.
The Emei faction surrounded the high-level Mingjiao who had lost their combat effectiveness, and the Mingjiao was in danger of being wiped out except for Zhang Wuji.
At the critical moment, Zhou Zhiruo made a move and turned back on the spot.
This most hidden barb wolf revealed her identity, it turned out that she and Zhang Wuji had known each other since they were young, and they had feelings for each other. Forcing Zhang Wuji off the cliff was Zhang Wuji's active design, and stabbing Zhang Wuji with a sword on the top of the light was the silent tacit understanding between her and Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji and her are one good and one evil, Zhang Wuji controls the Demon Sect, and she has become famous in the righteous martial arts, and now she is in fact in control of Emei, and in the future, the two will join forces, and the martial arts will naturally be in their pockets.
When the little steel cannon saw this, he was completely desperate.
"It's no play, it's completely no play. "Xiao Gang Cannon is talking about his own "1942".
The rest of the audience was amazed.
Gao Yuanyuan could feel the reaction of the audience.
She was more excited than anyone else.
Glancing at Yue Guan beside her, Gao Yuanyuan turned her head sideways and whispered in Yue Guan's ear: "Come to me tonight, sister wants to thank you." ”
Yue Guan nodded silently.
Gao Yuanyuan really should thank him.
The original version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master", Zhou Zhiruo is not so brilliant, it is completely a cannon fodder setting.
Zhou Zhiruo has changed so brilliantly, and it is really 100% of his credit.
"Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" is filmed here, and it is already destined to be successful.
The only thing to worry about is whether the ending can match the amazing plot like the previous one.
As it turns out, yes.
Not only can, but the ending also directly sublimates the whole movie.
Zhang Wuji traveled all over the world and saw too many Han people being oppressed by the Tartars, and their lives were worse than death.
For the sake of national righteousness, Zhang Wuji let go of the hatred in his heart, made an alliance with the Mingjiao people, and decided to rescue the six major factions of the righteous path martial arts, and at the same time announced that from now on, Mingjiao should take resistance to the Yuan as the first priority.
With the power of Mingjiao alone, it cannot shake the century-old foundation of the Yuan Court.
It is necessary to contact the heroes of the world, work together, and achieve great success.
So far, Zhang Wuji has completed the sublimation of his personal pattern, from a young man who is bent on revenge to a hegemon with the world in mind.
And the Ming Sect also changed from a demon sect to an anti-Yuan rebel army.
In the song of "Pity my world, there are many sorrows! Pity my world, there are many sorrows", the Mingjiao group of heroes dressed in white like snow, walked in front of Zhang Wuji one by one, bowed down, walked out with their heads held high, and never looked back.
The camera was aimed at these ordinary Mingjiao disciples.
Then, the picture on the big screen changes.
Just now, those Mingjiao disciples who were allied with Zhang Wuji bloodied fought bloody battles with the Yuan people in the battlefield, and rose up to resist the oppressed Han people in the Central Plains.
Countless people fell.
Countless people continue to fight.
Countless more have fallen.
Countless good men sprinkled their blood all over the Central Plains.
The picture freezes at this point.
When many viewers saw this, they all had a feeling of numbness on their scalps and even tears in their eyes.
This is the impact that a good work of art brings to the audience.
