Chapter 396: Painted Skin 2 (2/5)
Li Lian participated in the Shanghai Film Festival, mainly to promote "Ocean Paradise"...
Step is actually a film that he is very attentive to.
Attending the premiere of "Painted Skin 2" should mean that it is a good seller.
Shen Mengxi's influence in Hollywood, others don't know, he knows it very well.
"Avatar" and "Inception" are two mainstream blockbusters, and he has already become one of the big producers!
The finale of "Painted Skin 2" debut...
Shen Mengxi and Wu Ershan personally led the team, Zhou Xun, Zhao Bafei, Chen Kun, Nazha, including Zhu Yawen who played the villain.
"It's kind of a new story in "Painted Skin"..."
"Our goal, of course, is 500 million at the box office, we said it last year!"
Then a reporter said: "Zhang Weiping said that the box office of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" can surpass "Painted Skin"... What do you think?"
"I think he's talking in his sleep!"
After a brief chat, Shen Mengxi left the interview area and walked into the screening room.
......
"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is really news, after the photo of the little yellow duck was exposed, it was attacked by many netizens as Wei Minzhi's second...
Even Amy, the author of the original book, advised "hawthorn fans" to "wash and sleep" in her blog, and she left a message in her blog: "This actress's eyes are not ordinary swollen, but Jingqiu has 'slightly sunken eyes'." It is estimated that the third child will not be very handsome, and the two must be worthy, right?"
The ugliest girl!
In those years, Zhou Dongyu was also attacked by netizens!
Zhang Weiping jumped out again to pull hatred, what to say first, '"Thorn Tomb" and "Fengyun 2" wash and sleep...'
completely forgot that "Those Years" not only had a word of mouth, but also beat "Three Guns" at the box office...
I don't know how to do it recently, probably because Liu Yifei won the Cannes movie, Zhang Weiping pointed the gun at Shen Mengxi again, and said, "Carol was filmed by Shen Mengxi to praise his little girlfriend!"
'A person has limited energy, and he spends his main energy on making girls happy, and other movies speak for themselves!'
'I think it's hard for 'Painted Skin 2' to surpass 'Hawthorn Tree Love'!'
It's been a bit of a hot time...
Shen Mengxi didn't respond at all...
......
"Painted Skin 2" was selected as the opening film of the Shanghai Film Festival...
It's actually a deal!
Behind it is involved in all aspects of Mengxi, the company and the Shanghai Film Festival...
Frankly speaking, "Painted Skin 2" really doesn't need to use the platform of the Shanghai Film Festival.
And it's risky!
In case the projectionist didn't resist the temptation, causing the copy to leak and the source of the film to leak, this blow is too big...
hasn't been released yet, and piracy is all over the Internet first?
The Shanghai Film Festival made various guarantees, and even agreed that Mengxi arranged for its own staff to follow the whole process, and did not deliver the copy to the projectionist until the film was officially screened...
At half past eight, the film was officially screened.
"Painted Skin 2" is Naza's first time acting in a movie.
There is no need to go into detail about the filming process, the hard work is certain, and the filming in Inner Mongolia and Tibet...
The process of making a movie is magical, and a lot of filming of "Painted Skin 2" was done in the studio.
Such a filming process, not to mention that Nazha felt novel, but many old guns, including Wang Jinsong, who played Huo Xin's father, were surprised - this is the first time he has participated in such a big project!
So, Nazha really watched "Painted Skin 2" with a pious mind...
There are many people sitting in the audience who have the same idea as her, of course, there are other ideas, such as criticizing 'kitsch in the mainland market' during the day, such as "the current film advertising placement is 'shameless'", "movies follow the trend - shoot whatever is popular"...
also deliberately named the sequel movie...
A reporter asked him if he was referring specifically to "Painted Skin 2", he didn't speak, but Peng Haoxiang said something 'The sequel is shameless money!'
It's strange, Lao Mei also plays sequels, and Hong Kong movies also make sequels, why Mao doesn't dare to criticize these two markets?
Milan Kundera said: "The need of the kitsch for kitsch: it is the need to gaze into the mirror of a beautiful lie and to shed tears of satisfaction with someone's own reflection." ”
This mirror is the gaze of others, and kitsch is to scratch one's head and pose in front of the "mirror".
In order to cater to the taste of the public, many directors regard the coarse and shallow pop taste as the highest law, and they are lost in the secular level and cannot extricate themselves.
They voluntarily discarded seriousness and elegance, lost morality and ideals, and willingly fell victim to kitsch.
Can the directors' self-talk achieve the purpose of reflection?
Especially Peng Haoxiang, what qualifications do you have to say such things?
"Zhiming and Chunjiao", "Chunjiao and Zhiming", "Chunjiao Saves Zhiming"...
Do you want face?
Okay, without further ado, the movie has officially begun!
......
The core of "Painted Skin 2" is still love!
"Painted Skin" is a big hit, and the three major advantages summarized in the industry.
First, the core is love, which explores the timeliness of love - the relationship between third parties, in this time-sensitive love topic, it puts forward a positive value, love is to give - this guarantee can pass the trial;
Second, it has assembled a star lineup with the right to speak, Zhou Xun, Zhao Bafei and Chen Kun, their reputation is very good.
Third, the word "painted skin" gives the Chinese audience a huge imagination, and it is also the first time in domestic movies for so many years that the genre label of "Oriental New Magic" is a movie, before this we only saw Xu Laowei's "Green Snake", but the 08 version of "Painted Skin" was the first to pass the mainland censorship, so it has an advantage in the magic genre.
Therefore, "Painted Skin 2" still has to explore love.
The setting of the whole story is actually "plastic surgery", how an imperfect girl gets her love.
Then the value of love it puts forward is positive, that is, "calamity in the heart, only love is eternal", as long as you give, you sacrifice for love, this love is great.
The cast remains the same.
Special effects upgrade, this must be upgraded - the audience is growing, they have seen so many visual effects, so many wonderful magic movies, science fiction movies, superhero movies, their needs for movie special effects and their understanding of the magic genre have improved.
Although it is not up to the level of Hollywood, we have to try to get close, especially the magic movie "Painted Skin II" that everyone is looking forward to seeing, the peeling effect must be good, and the audience must feel satisfied.
Of course, the most important thing is the story!
The core of what our audience sees is the story and characters, that is, there must be a plot to play the game, and special effects are just an auxiliary technique.
The story is very simple, the general Huo Xin and Princess Jing have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the two have been separated for more than 8 years after Princess Jing suffered an accident. was accidentally attacked by a bear, and half of Princess Jing's face was disfigured and turned into an ugly girl.
Fox demon Xiao Wei, after 500 years of ice, the little fox played by Nazha chiseled the ice with his claws to regain his freedom, and Xiao Wei's beauty is unparalleled in the world.
Princess Jing thought that Huo Xin kept her distance from her because she was disfigured, and Xiao Wei used Huo Xin to do experiments through fox charm, making Princess Jing believe that men only care about women's appearance.
Princess Jing only thought about the love between her and Huo Xin, and for the sake of love, she actually agreed to exchange her heart for Xiao Wei's beautiful skin!
Princess Jing herself has no heart, and she needs to dig out other people's hearts from time to time to maintain this beautiful skin.
There is also the matter of the marriage contract of the Heavenly Wolf Country interspersed in the middle...
The story of the princess and Huo Xin is to tell us that when you fall in love, you don't just look at your face, what matters is the beauty of your soul.
In the end, Huo Xin stabbed his eyes, and for him or Princess Jing, appearance was no longer important;
When Xiao Wei was hung on the stage of life and death and sang the last song, life and death were no longer important to her, what really mattered was that she had "lived" once, she had smelled the fragrance of azaleas, and she had also seen the blue of the sea and sky, which was enough!
When Princess Jing couldn't eat a heart and was about to freeze into an iceman, it didn't matter to her whether she was a demon or a human, the important thing was that she could be with Huo Xin, and she could wait for the man she had fallen in love with for a lifetime, this life was enough!
By the way, this version of "Painted Skin 2" is 100 minutes long, and there are not so many messy slow motions...
As for the 3D effect...
It's okay, at least not dizzy, and many scenes do transition well!
At least 2.6D!
