Chapter 883: Blockbuster Era 2
"King, kill or not?"
"King, kill or not?
Woohoo!
It was another rain of arrows, and he died namelessly.
At the end, on the Gobi Desert, there are three new graves, buried with nameless, broken swords and flying snow.
The old servant and Ruyue knelt in front of the grave and sprinkled wine to pay tribute, and the old servant said, "The one who is a confidant dies." It is enough to have one confidant in life, and if you have three confidants, you will win the world. ”
Ruyue said beside her: "Then the three of them are the world." ”
"Yes, the three of them are the world. ”
At the end of the original version, there is a subtitle, introducing Qin Shi Huang to build the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies or something.
This was added at the suggestion of Li Lianlian, who felt that foreigners generally misunderstood the Great Wall and thought it was a tool for attack. Zhang Guoshi felt reasonable, so he added it.
But if you let the domestic audience watch this thing, it is very inexplicable.
So Xu Fei restored Zhang Guoshi's original ending, which is the above scene. What Lao Mouzi wants to express is actually very simple, "Shi".
What King Qin said sounded good, whether it was true or fake, the audience had their own understanding.
But these three are different, Nameless believed the words of King Qin and gave up the assassination;
Feixue was bent on stabbing Qin, and the remnant sword felt that King Qin couldn't be killed, so he just wanted to live in seclusion in the countryside with his lover, but he didn't know how to stop her, so he had to stab her to death in the fight;
So Feixue was martyred again.
That's it.
In short, compared with the original version, "Hero" has changed a lot of details.
The domestic version is more in line with the tastes of domestic audiences, at least when I watched it, I didn't laugh because of "one-night stand" and "I deliberately let you see it, I don't have you in my heart at all".
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
The lights came back on, and the auditorium was in a commotion, whispering to each other.
"It's a bit superficial, not profound. ”
"People don't shoot art films, I think it's good. ”
"Well, it's visually striking. ”
"But I think we should dig more into the concepts of the world and the king of Qin. ”
"Don't, then it's "Jing Ke Assassinates King Qin 2". ”
Everyone rushed to the press conference hall on the third floor, only to see huge posters surrounding the audience, and the seats were divided into areas according to Chinese and foreign print reporters, TV reporters, and photojournalists, which were huge and orderly.
After waiting for a while, the main creator entered.
Zhang Guoshi led the crowd to attend, including martial arts, artists, screenwriters, etc., and more than a dozen people sat down.
didn't give the producer a position, but Xu Fei felt that he had to go up and grasp it, so he took a side.
The atmosphere is friendly, and everyone is silent about the reporters' questions, and they will not be rude when they should be said, and they will not say more than half a word when they should not be said.
"Many people compare "Hero" to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and I'm not afraid to compare.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is one of my favorite movies. I don't have that kind of extravagant hope for "Hero" to participate in the Oscars.
I didn't think about awards first when I made "Hero", it was an attempt at a commercial blockbuster, hoping that it would have a wider impact. ”
As soon as Zhang Guoshi finished answering one, another reporter asked:
"In the film, you want to express a concept of ancient 'shi'. Then "Hero" is going to be released to overseas markets, do you think foreigners can understand this concept?"
"Uh......"
He was organizing his speech when he saw someone waving his hand in the corner. The man sat at the very edge of the table, and even the little cards were wooden.
"Why did you sit there?"
Zhang Guoshi's eyes widened.
I'll answer that. ”
Teacher Xu took the microphone, and the reporters also looked for a long time,, why are you sitting there?
"There are two versions of Heroes, about the same length. What we see is the domestic version, or the East Asian version, and the other is called the overseas version.
There is basically no difference, some easy-to-understand subtitles have been added, some lines are different, and the theme has been simplified. What is the theme of this edition, who can say?"
"I think so, Shi and Da unified. ”
"Well, the theme of the overseas version is different, what is it...... Then see for yourselves. ”
Shh
Journalists rolled their eyes.
"Then can I understand that you are making an overseas special version?"
"Exactly!"
Teacher Xu smiled: "I just said the East Asian version, why is it called the East Asian version?"
Because Japan and South Korea can understand it, some of our cultures are the same. Then since you want to sell box office in the West, you naturally have to let the public understand it, so don't be so complicated. ”
"Then you haven't thought about exporting culture to the outside world?"
"I thought about it, but it was difficult to achieve.
As far as movies are concerned, we have only exported one thing so far, and that is kung fu. Well, this is too complicated to say, and I will discuss it later. ”
......
"It's a very modern film. Aside from stunts, actors, etc., just for its publicity, I raise my hands in favor!
It's also well-made, why can't Chinese blockbusters be big? A key factor is publicity, and for this alone, "Hero" is a milestone. ”
"The generous rendering of the color palette is the pride of the film. The storytelling is relatively weak, and it is a deficiency that cannot be ignored. This work, known as the first domestic blockbuster, is destined to be full of controversy. ”
""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" calls it martial arts, but it is not our martial arts, but Chinese martial arts that foreigners are willing to accept.
"Hero" has no plot to speak of, but the film's exposition of the essence of traditional culture and the interpretation of the essence of Chinese culture are commendable. ”
After the premiere, the popularity of "Hero" reached a peak.
And the film was also officially released nationwide.
Teacher Xu repeatedly told Zhang Guoshi not to be disturbed by the outside world, just publicize it well. With such a big film and pressure, I must be very concerned about criticism.
If you survive, you will be tempered, and if you don't survive, you will be sung.
"At 0:00 today, more than a dozen theaters in Chengdu detonated "Hero" at the same time.
The prior arrangements of each theater were disrupted by the enthusiasm of fans, and almost every theater was full, so it had to be temporarily screened to satisfy the audience.
According to incomplete statistics, the total box office in the early hours of this morning was 250,000 yuan. ”
"Tianjin's "Hero" was released, and the venue was full.
On the same day, it created a box office miracle of 200,000 yuan, and Guangming Cinema alone exceeded 60,000 yuan at the box office on the first day. The most gratifying thing is that the box office of "Hero" does not rely on group ticket purchases, but more from retail. ”
"Shanghai Xintiandi Cinema was filled with nearly 1,000 spectators, and the last screening ended at 3 a.m. yesterday, and the theater temporarily added three more screenings.
As of 10 o'clock last night, the box office has reached 140,000 yuan, and the pre-sale box office has exceeded 400,000. ”
""Hero" has been released in Guangzhou in less than 24 hours and has won millions of box office!
The Pearl River Cinema Line alone has recorded an income of 400,000 yuan, of which the single-day box office of China Square Cinema is 150,000 yuan, setting a new record of 110,000 yuan in prime time for the Spring Festival last year. ”
There is a lot of non-smoothness, the hard wounds of the work are gone, and the perception is smoother.
The box office in various places has broken records, China Film Music has blossomed, and Zhang Guoshi's pressure has decreased a lot.
The streets and alleys are talking about it, and the cultural world is like catching a bloody fly, and all the touches are jumping out. For a while, the spit was flying, the views collided, and it was very lively.
Yu Jiajia took the opportunity to promote Tangerine.com, and "Hero" became the first target for comments. The film critic's recommendation index is 78%, and netizen ratings fluctuate every day, fighting to die or live.
Most of them focus on the yishi form, and in the end, even those who are engaged in history come out to express their views.
So it was crooked to whether Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant or not.
"The era of the Assassin Qin was a great era. To say that it is great is that that era is an era of incumbent duty, and the weak use their lives and personality to fight against the strong.
It's a pity that "Hero" completely reverses this greatness!"
"Who says that an assassin is great, and that he can't be great if he is assassinated? 'Hero' is just a different perspective. ”
"Qin Shi Huang should be killed, is it recognized?"
"I think you're all extreme, and "Hero" doesn't make it clear that Che Ma expresses his views.
On the contrary, it shows several different positions, you have been scolding the remnant sword and kneeling and licking the imperial power, but why can't you see that Feixue has been resisting?"
"The point of view itself is not a big problem, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, whether it is said that Qin Shi Huang is cruel, whether it is to protect the country and the people, it is good to be able to say the reason. ”
It was in this kind of boiling that "Hero" was released for seven days.
When it was released, the theater chain had just been reformed, and now it has been in operation for two years, and the market potential is higher. 17 million on the first day of "October Siege", 19 million on the first day of "Hero"!
Since then, it has grown at an average of 14 million per day.
Break 100 million in 7 days!
