The Spring Festival is here, and when the family is reunited, the annual Spring Festival stalls have also arrived.

Since last year's Spring Festival file "Journey to the West" sold 1.2 billion, the Spring Festival file has become more and more popular, and the industry has paid more and more attention to the Spring Festival file.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, four movies, "Journey to the West: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Aomen Fengyun", "Predecessor Raiders", and "Where Did Dad Go", were released at the same time.

However, before the release, the popularity of the four movies was clear, and "Havoc in Heaven" itself was a familiar story, and the lineup of Zhou Runfa, Kwok Fucheng, and Donnie Yen far exceeded other movies.

The clues can also be seen at the box office, "Havoc in Heaven" sold 120 million on the first day, setting a new box office record on the first day in mainland film history.

There have been two or three movies that broke 100 million in a single day, but this is the first time that they have broken 100 million on the first day.

As soon as this box office came out, it immediately made the industry feel shocked, and I thought that the mainland box office record might finally change people.

However, it has only been released for one day, and the overwhelming bad reviews and complaints have directly drowned out this film.

This film is completely an online game-style movie, and I don't know what the director and the main creative team are.

Even as a mythological movie, Fuhuadao is not as good as Zhang Yimou's "The City is Full of Golden Armor" many years ago, and the golden armor is simply unwatchable.

It is the Bull Demon King who wants to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and he has more scenes than Sun Wukong.

The subordinate Erlang God wore gold armor, the Jade Emperor wore silver armor, and Brother Monkey's chain gold armor became a leather coat with some copper carvings on it, and the grade was similar to that made by Jiangnan Tannery.

Nuwa Niangniang is full of wind and dust, and those who don't know think that they ran out of heaven and earth.

Costume road, character modeling, special effects, none of them can be seen.

As for the plot, the Bodhi Patriarch was killed by the Bull Demon King in one move.

By the way, the protagonist Brother Monkey is in love, and he is still a vixen, I don't know how the sixth teacher and his old man feel.

Of course, there are also plots in the movie that make people cry.

Sun Wukong finally stopped the Bull Demon King and Yang Jian, defended the heavenly court, and then helped the Jade Emperor repair the heavenly palace, took the initiative to drill into the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, and said flatteringly, "Buddha, your hands are so heavy." ”

Whether you cry or not, someone must be crying anyway, this is probably the first version of the monkey who was actively crushed under the Five Elements Mountain.

A few years later, if people who have not read the original work of "Journey to the West" will definitely disdain Sun Wukong when they watch this "Havoc in Heaven" for the first time.

That's it, and a hero of the world?

Litter!

It seems that not only does Director Xiangjiang have no historical knowledge, but they can't understand everything in the past.

Not to mention the shooting, "I want this day, I can't cover my eyes anymore, I want this land, I can't bury my heart anymore, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, and I want all the Buddhas to disappear." "Such a Monkey King, at least the operation of taking the initiative to drill under the Five Finger Mountain is similar to feeding.

The audience's eyes are bright, after 120 million on the first day, a total of 200 million was only received in the second and third days of the first two days, and the box office began to collapse as soon as the Spring Festival holiday began.

No matter how it is promoted, what team has been hired to do special effects for hundreds of millions of dollars, the first domestic film or something, Donnie Yen has specially imitated monkeys in order to play the Monkey King well, and the audience just doesn't buy it anyway.

The box office of "Aomen Fengyun" is average, and the building in three days is more than 70 million, which is not as good as the box office of "Where Did You Go, Dad" in one day.

This variety show movie was scolded worse than "Havoc in Heaven", but there are some differences.

"Havoc in Heaven" is scolded by everyone, whether it is professionals, movie lovers, or ordinary audiences, while "Where Did You Go, Dad" is mostly scolded by professionals and movie lovers, and there are not many ordinary audiences.

The term variety show movie is also frequently mentioned, and in the eyes of professionals, movies like "Where Did Dad Go" are as hateful as "Little Times".

There are box office hits, big bad movies that attract a lot of attention, and very controversial movies, and this Spring Festival stall is still lively.

With the passing of the Spring Festival holiday, the Lantern Festival is about to begin, and "Havoc in Heaven" has also secured the box office champion of the Spring Festival stalls with a box office of 780 million in 10 days.

"Where Did Dad Go", which was 70 million on the first day, relied on the children's market, and the box office in 10 days was as high as 580 million.

The funny film "Aomen Fengyun" has become the tallest among the shorties, and it is also a comedy, and when it only got 70 million in three days, the total box office reached 280 million in ten days.

This Spring Festival file can be regarded as a big joy, "Havoc in Heaven" still has the hope of breaking 100 million, and the hope is not small, after all, the theme and lineup are there, just listen to others say that it is bad, and those who have not seen it will be curious about how bad it is.

"Where Did You Go Dad" is a big dark horse, with a box office of nearly 600 million, which is simply blood-earned.

"Aomen Fengyun" also allowed Berner to return to blood, and Berner has not had a blockbuster movie for a long time.

Hello, hello, everyone, the Spring Festival stalls are less attended by future films, but they are happy.

However, this also made the industry once again determined to take the path of remake and adaptation, and Xinghao Entertainment, the investor of "Havoc in Heaven", announced the preparation of "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" while the iron was hot.

Berner also wants to make "Aomen Fengyun" into a series, and also announced the official start of filming of the martial arts IP "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", starring Fan Binbin as the white-haired witch practicing neon clothes and partnering Huang Xiaoming.

Since "To Youth" became a big hit, Guangxian has made another youth film "The Year in a Hurry".

Huayang Media and Lay's together began to warm up for "Taiping Wheel", which has been filmed and entered post-production, but Pony is not good now, and the publicity and distribution of the main control will be handed over to their two investors.

......

It's all lively, and the big action is constant, and the future film industry is a bit low-key.

The preliminary preparations for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" are basically completed and will be launched soon.

"Detective Chinatown" Ning Hao took the crew to Zhuguo.

"Wolf Warrior" was filmed and moved to post-production.

While conceiving the sequel to "Thai Embarrassment", Xu Zheng took on a suspense film "Hypnosis Master", and by the way, he was the producer, and Li Qian could clearly perceive from the chat that he wanted to change to capital.

And Li Qian himself, who started work after the Lantern Festival, came to Suzhou with the crew.

In the 86 version of "Journey to the West", the scene of the daughter country was filmed here.

The Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the four famous gardens alongside the Summer Palace in Beijing, the Summer Resort in Chengde, and the Lingering Garden in Suzhou.

The first scene is in the Humble Administrator's Garden, that is, the palace of the daughter country, where the king of the daughter country falls in love with Tang Seng at first sight.

There is no difficulty in these repetitive scenes, so Li Qian asked Qi Yukun to shoot and chat with Director Yang Jie outside the hall.

Director Yang, who is over eighty years old, was puzzled by Li Qian standing outside watching the excitement, "Director Li doesn't need to control it himself?"

Li Qian smiled, "The two teachers have performed perfectly decades ago, and I am not worried. ”

"It was the mentality of the year, and now is not the time of the year, they may not be able to perform. Director Yang still didn't understand.

"Actually, Director Yang, it's almost enough to act, now there are special effects, my special effects company has analyzed all the facial muscles and expressions of the two teachers in several scenes in "Journey to the West", and the green dots on their faces are the marks of muscle and expression capture, not only to restore the appearance of youth, but also to restore the performance of this scene back then. Li Qian explained.

"That's right. ”

In the face of Li Qian's high-tech special effects, Director Yang was not so amazed, but still felt a little stunned, looked around and said, "In fact, when I was filming, this hall was full of people, and there were some foreigners who came to travel. ”

"Then come in too. ”

Li Qian smiled, called the production director, and arranged it.

This plot is not filmed with the content of "Journey to the West", but also the filming site of "Journey to the West" as a representative of film and television culture.

That is, behind-the-scenes footage and the like, after all, Chen Kun is the protagonist.

Chen Kun is a miscellaneous person in the crew, driving and moving things. Hundred Flowers Literature

In addition to the scenes of the queen and Tang Seng in the Imperial Garden, there are also separate scenes, and the others are the scenes where Chen Kun works in the crew.

The actors of that era were like ordinary crew employees, with a salary of dozens of yuan, unlike now they are all big stars, so Chen Kunneng, who was a miscellaneous worker, was able to mix with the sixth teacher, and several protagonists mixed together.

For example, with the sixth teacher, I practiced monkey play in the morning, played with sticks, and everyone bragged and farted together.

Next, a driving scene was filmed, and after filming, the driver Chen Kun drove the actors back to the hotel.

In some dilapidated vans, Chen Kun suddenly couldn't start, and Xu Shaohua and Teacher Six in the car asked, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know what's wrong, suddenly I can't catch fire. Chen Kun turned his head and said.

"Stand back and let the teacher come. Mr. Xu pushed the door and got out of the car, got into the main driver again, and after two pounds, the car started.

In this way, Tang Seng, who was still wearing a robe, drove away with the three apprentices and Chen Kunyang in a van, and his face was light and chic after work.

This kind of plot doesn't have any special meaning, it's just fun, memories.

The only thing related to the main line is the scene where the Tang monk and apprentice and the king of the daughter country are separated.

The crew of "Journey to the West" filmed separate scenes again, and Li Qian's crew filmed Chen Kun who was watching again, watching Tang Seng obviously moved his heart in the play, but finally had to leave, Chen Kun's eyes were confused, until Tang Seng left on a white horse, and Director Yang Jie shouted click, only then did he realize it, and his eyes were more determined.

"Click!"

Director Yang in the play shouted the card, and Li Qian also shouted click.

"Director Yang, let's do it again later. ”

said to Chen Kun again, "Your eyes are too slow to change, after the filming of the complete episodes of "Daughter Country", this character has actually thought more about love, you know the scenes in these episodes Tang Seng was moved, but he had to leave because of learning from the scriptures.

Your own feelings are also separated because of the difference in appearance and the gap between the ideals of the two sides, but after so many years, at your age, both parties are the same age in terms of physiology and heart, and there are no longer those forced reasons, so you have long begun to plan to go back. ”

"Then at what stage did my eyes change, or did I start at the beginning?" asked Chen Kun.

"Don't be too early, start when Tang Seng says goodbye with a bow. ”

These details, including the previous statement to the queen that if there is an afterlife, no matter what Director Yang Jie thought at the time, it can be seen that Tang Seng is tempted.

Of course, the white dragon horse may also know.

Normal people will be tempted, "Journey to the West: The Later Sequel" Didn't the Buddha reincarnate and marry a wife.

Then filming, seeing that Tang Seng no longer folded his hands and performed the Buddhist door ceremony, Chen Kun's eyes began to become clear, as if he had understood something, and then turned to firmness and longing for his lover.

After all these years, there is no obstacle between them.

......

After the filming of Su Zhou's scenes, he walked to several cities, and the historical events were filmed with fragmented shots.

At the end of February, Li Qian returned to the capital and first went to the Bird's Nest to shoot the plot of the Olympic Games.

Then I came to Huairou Film and Television Base to shoot the final scene, the protagonists here are Teacher Qin Yi who plays the elderly heroine, and Gao Yuanyuan, who plays the daughter.

For Teacher Qin Yi, who has experienced ups and downs, there is no difficulty in playing such a role that also goes through twists and turns.

And Gao Yuanyuan, as long as she acts in her true colors, if it is just her appearance of oriental beauty, it is enough to perform gentle, sexy, and intellectual.

After all, her birth and smooth growth were obtained by his father sacrificing the time with his lover and daughter, and without a perfect daughter, his father's sacrifice is not so worthwhile in the eyes of the audience.

They are all acting in their true colors, there is no big problem, and they are all confined to a ward, and there is no need for transitions.

On March 11, the crew of "Rejuvenation" ushered in the filming of the last scene, which is also the end of the movie.

is just a shot, and there are no lines, but the scene is frequent.

The actor is already a baby at this time, and the actor who comes to play the actor is naturally also a baby, either crying, dozing off and falling asleep, or writhing around very restlessly.

But it's the last shot, and it doesn't matter.

"The child is too troublesome. Tong Liya, who hugged the child all morning, is now a little disgusted, once she caught her where to drink milk, and once she urinated directly, it was enough to choke.

Li Qian smiled, "It's just right, your two-second performance is not in place, and it just so happens that the child is taking the blame for you." ”

"What do you mean to give me the blame..."Tong Liya rolled her eyes.

"Think about how you acted just now, that expression looks like you're looking at your beloved, and if you don't know, you think you're helping others watch their children. ”

"It's very awkward to be a child, and I didn't have many scenes as a heroine before, saying that it was a heroine, which was similar to a supporting role. ”

"It's all throughout the whole film, not much, it's just that those scenes that can be made up by the brain have not been filmed, it does not affect the integrity of the story, the audience can make up for it, you have scripts and character biographies, can you still make up for it?"

"However, I just don't feel comfortable with a child, and I can't look at a lover when I look at him. Tong Liya is also very distressed, her acting skills have not yet reached that point, and every time the emotions are brewed in place, when she meets the child's eyes, she will have goosebumps.

"Then you look at me, and wait for that child to replace me. Li Qian was also helpless.

"Otherwise, I'll just hold you and shoot it. Tong Liya smiled narrowly.

The corners of Li Qian's mouth twitched, "Don't make trouble, be serious." ”

......

Waiting for the baby to be appeased over there, Tong Liya is almost brewing here, and continue filming.

"Scene 151, one shot, twelve times!"

"Let's go!"

The last scene was twelve times, and Li Qian also cheered up and stared at the monitor.

After putting on makeup, Tong Liya, who was in her late teens, gently sat on the chair with her lover, who had become a baby.

Although it looks like a grandmother hugging her grandson, she doesn't feel that way at all, it's more like looking at her lover.

Here's the narrator: He looked at me, and at that moment, I knew he recognized me.

The camera advanced slowly, and the baby's bright big eyes were a little deep, and he just looked straight at Tong Liya.

gave Tong Liya a close-up, there are still traces of her youth on her old face, looking at her lover who has become a baby, the love and sadness in her eyes are intertwined.

After a while, the baby's eyes, which had been staring at Tong Liya, slowly closed.

Tong Liya slowly lifted him and covered the small sheet on his body, covering his face with his eyes closed.

The camera slowly zoomed out, and even if she couldn't see her expression clearly in a somewhat dimly lit room, she could see the sadness on Tong Liya's body.

......

This time I passed, but it wasn't enough.

It wasn't until the 17th time that Li Qian shouted heavily, "Pass!"

""Rejuvenation" is officially completed!"

"Whew!"

Li Qian and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the press conference was launched on October 8th, and now on March 11th, after half a month's vacation for the New Year, the filming finally ended for four and a half months.
