Chapter 258: Forgive You
In December, with the release of the leading "Laughing Rivers and Lakes", the Chinese New Year file basically officially began.
Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shen Yang starred in the master and apprentice, and they had cooperated with each other in Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" before.
What is the effect......
The overall style was completely deviated, and it almost became a two-person turn on the big screen.
This kind of personal style and its strong actor, if you are not careful, it is easy to lead everyone astray, and others can't adapt to his performance and can't cooperate.
That film is such an absurd genre, if the subject matter is changed, it can be almost put away when the actors perform.
This time it's a martial arts film, it's much better, it's just a clichΓ© comedy, and the quality of the jokes is not very high.
And Zhu Yanping's previous "Thorn Tomb" was also a big bad movie, and it was full of bad reviews before it was released.
With the development of the Internet, various companies attach great importance to online marketing.
Before the release, it was full of bad reviews, what I didn't want to watch when I saw the director, I didn't want to watch it when I saw the starring actor, and I didn't want to watch it when I saw the trailer.
However, the box office turned out to be quite good, with 18 million on the first day, which is only 2 million lower than "Warm and Warm Light".
If you ignore the bad reviews on the Internet, it seems to be a big seller.
The next day, "Zhao's Orphan" was released, and the box office on the first day was as high as 26 million.
Cheng Kaige's fame is still there, and there will still be a large number of viewers to buy tickets to support him.
This number is second only to "Tangshan Earthquake" this year, and Cheng Kaige can be regarded as raising his eyebrows.
Since "Wuji", it is the first time that Cheng Kaige has been so relaxed.
In the past five years, I have endured cynicism from all sides, and this time I can finally turn over.
The next day, Sunday, "Zhao's Orphan" got 24 million, breaking 50 million in the first week.
The only fly in the ointment is that "Laughing Jianghu", which was released one day earlier, got 60 million in three days, and "Zhao's Orphan" was suppressed in the first week.
Being pressed under such a vulgar and funny film, Cheng Kaige is still very unhappy.
On the first working day, the box office plummeted to 11 million, and Cheng Kaige was not calm again, which was a bit big.
"Laughing Jianghu" is not much stronger, it fell directly to 8 million in a single day, and the box office took a big dive.
Yu Dong is also not calm, the big hit of "Laughing Jianghu" gave him a big surprise, but he didn't expect that the box office would dive before he was happy for two days.
Both films got off to a great start, but were beaten back to reality after a weekend.
There is no surprise, the audience's reputation is quite average, and even "Laughing Jianghu" is a scolding.
Soon after the opening, Lin Xilei and Xiao Shen Yang fell in love at first sight, and the subsequent plot development is roughly the same as the style at the beginning: no foreshadowing, no rendering, and no logic.
All plot developments, no matter how much they are, are the bandit logic of "I say so, that's it, the result is so, and the reason doesn't matter".
The storyline is basically useless, and like most comedy films, the jokes are naturally not caused by dramatic conflicts, but by intensive baggage, wordplay, various dialects, exaggerated expressions, distorted and obscene body language, and camera cuts.
Not to mention that Zhao Benshan's sentence "maytheforcebewithyou" was translated by his younger brother as "Don't be too presumptuous, it's useless", that scene is quite funny.
But that's about it.
However, being able to sell such a high box office at least has some advantages, the jokes can make many people laugh, and the southern audience can also watch it.
"Zhao's Orphan" is not bad, at least it is much stronger than "Laughing Rivers and Lakes", this allusion is known to most people, it is the story of the difficulty of going to the palace of the Jin Kingdom.
Cheng Kaige's costume films, there is no problem in terms of costumes and lenses, and the tragedy and magnificence of the palace coup scene are not inferior to any movie, whether it is art, photography, lines and performances are very exquisite.
However, like "Mei Lanfang", Cheng Kaige only made half a good movie, and the second half became a forced lyricism, blinding the wonderful performances of Ge Wei and Wang Xueqi.
Of course, costume blockbuster action scenes are also very important, but Yuan Jiaban is really not suitable for this kind of ancient blockbuster.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the cavalry duel, head-on charge, was enough.
At that time, the Jin State was a great country of 5,000 times, and it exaggerated a little bit of a big country of 10,000 times, and it did not engage in chariots and went to shoot cavalry.
However, these are all details, if the movie is exciting, not many people care about this kind of detail, as long as the cavalry battle is filmed well, the audience will have no opinion.
But in itself, mistakes in details are easy to be sprayed.
Although the two movies with an average reputation did well at the box office, the Lunar New Year did not appear as hot as expected.
There are a lot of complaints on the Internet, and fans said that they can only look forward to Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" and "I Am Legend" at the end of the month.
However, on Tuesday of the 7th, the new issue of Huaguo Film Report not only reported on the newly released films, but also broadcast Li Qian's views on the Golden Horse Awards when the previous feature was recorded.
The part was not broadcast when the special was broadcast, after all, it was mainly a personal topic, and there was also the promotion of the movie, and the movie channel was not put together.
Although a week has passed since the Golden Horse Awards, the response to the two newly released films has been mediocre, and the controversy about the Golden Horse Awards is still arguing, and many insiders have spoken out.
Both of them said very vaguely that the movie was a bad movie, but the heroine acted well.
Li Qian's words also caused a great response with the broadcast of the show.
"Why did Li Qian stand up and release Ma Xiaogang's film at the same time at the end of the month, and if you want to talk to her?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards said that Xu Wan's emotions are too outgoing and not restrained enough, and there is no Qiong Yao-style crying scene in Ruan Jingtian's movie. β
"The top one is a double standard, one person has one reason, just like Li Qian said, the Golden Horse Awards themselves don't know the selection criteria. β
"Nonsense, of course people have standards, and not giving mainland film awards is not the standard. β
"It's right not to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, to help them expand their fame, and to be disgusted. β
"It's an old routine, fooling people to cheer them on, and they return empty-handed. β
"It's not the same for making movies, Wu Yusen also used the heroine to invite Zhao Wei to shoot "Red Cliff", but he went to match Lin Zhiling. β
"Sword Rain" also uses the old drama bone Wang Xueqi to serve as a foil for the stick, Wu Baige still has the face to praise Xu Xiyuan's acting skills, and his lying face is not red. β
.......
In the past few days, the Golden Horse Awards has been fermented and has become a big news in the entertainment industry.
Many mainland netizens are criticizing the Golden Horse Awards, and a few days ago it was revealed that Wu Yusen was not only preparing for the "Taiping Wheel", known as the Oriental Titanic, but also preparing a war movie "Flying Tigers", and even the list of actors was exposed, starring Ruan Jingtian, Zhao Youting, two treasure islands, and the new generation of Xiangjiang.
This film also has investment in West Yunnan Optoelectronics, and the background of the story is in West Yunnan.
At that time, a reporter asked why there were no mainland actors in the leading role, and Wu Yusen said that it was a war film from Baodao, so it was natural to use Baodao actors.
The truth of this sentence is doubtful, and no interview video has come out, but Wu Yusen doesn't dare to say this if he has a little brain, let alone after the street of "Sword Rain".
Regarding the news about Baodao and Xiangjiang directors suppressing mainland actors, this week, with the help of the Golden Horse Awards, it has also become popular on the Internet.
There are also rumors that Wu Yusen pointed at Chen Jiashang earlier and scolded him, he should not let Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and Zhao Wei star in "Painted Skin", and should be replaced by Xiangjiang and Baodao actors.
All kinds of rumors are not uncommon, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but the emotions of netizens have risen.
After Li Qian's interview came out, the heat came up again, and Ning Hao and Zhang Yuan, the mainland judges of this year's Golden Horse Awards, were also forced to speak out under pressure, saying that although "Playing Cool Youth" was average, the actors' performances were fine, and Wang Xueqi did not win the actor because there were too few scenes.
In the face of media interviews, the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards also responded to Li Qian's words, saying that their Golden Horse Awards have been adhering to the principle of fairness and justice for decades.
Anyway, it means talking about the various benefits of the Golden Horse Awards, and the conversation changed and said that Li Qian should not listen to the rumors on the Internet, and was misled.
In the end, he also said that Li Qian only said such things because he was influenced by the outside world, and they wouldn't care.
At the end, he also threw out an olive branch, saying that Li Qian is very welcome to participate in the Golden Horse Award in the future, and he also looks forward to Li Qian participating in the evaluation of the Golden Horse Award.
Li Qian smiled, this is said at a very high level, to the effect that you Li Qian was misled by outsiders, but our Golden Horse Award adults don't remember villains, forgive you.
also engaged in co-optation, suppression, and division, this year, Zhang Yuan and Ning Hao were invited to serve as judges, which was to win them over.
A leader of the sixth generation of literary film directors and a leader of the new generation of commercial film directors.
Invite to be a judge and give a sweet date.
The judges said that in the past, their films were chosen by others, but now they have their own votes and can decide whether others win the award or not.
It's like in a clubhouse, lying on the bed and watching rows of girls for you to choose.
As long as you are not indifferent to fame and fortune, you will not refuse.
Think about it, the films of big directors like Ma Xiaogang and Cheng Kaige, whether they win awards or not, are held in their own hands, and they have a sense of achievement.
This should be the first time that a young mainland director has gone to the Golden Horse Awards to be a judge, and it is nothing more than that young domestic directors have emerged, and they are still not accepting them.
Take precautions, win them over first, and use them to praise their own actors.
And there are 15 judges, and two mainland judges can't make any waves.
Li Qian doesn't eat this set, he rushes to make it up, not to mention the judges, that is, he will give himself the best director next year......
If you have time, you can go, but it is obviously impossible to prostitute for nothing, you have to pay something.
There's not much demand for this thing, so it doesn't matter if you want it or not.
"No, just play by yourself. β
As a young man, Li Qian is also very unhappy, although many things are not as reported on the Internet, but the suppression of mainland actors does exist.
With the investment of the mainland, it is unaccustomed to suppressing mainland actors.
