Chapter 327: What about the controversy
At the end of the film, Zhang Pu and Xu Jiahui quietly left the theater.
Coming out of the theater, I heard a lot of discussions about the film on the way.
There is no doubt that this film is definitely the most talked about among the films released during the Spring Festival.
"Say, are we a little out of step with the times?"
Zhang Ke and Yu Qing walked out of the theater, and Zhang Ke, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Yu Qing was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and said: "This film, people who are a little older probably don't like it. Zhang Pu's film is very targeted, and it is made for young people. And young people are the largest group of movie fans. ”
Before, the two of them also laughed, laughing unscrupulously, but compared to other fans, they were too reserved.
But that's more influenced by the atmosphere in the theater.
If you hadn't watched it in the theater, you would never have laughed so exaggeratedly.
In their opinion, the whole film is full of "bad movie" atmosphere.
They really can't see what's so good about this film.
I can't read it, I can't understand it!
Incomprehensible.
"It looks like he's really old!" Zhang Ke shook his head and said with some emotion.
Yu Qing: ......
If you watch "East Becomes West" alone, he will probably give a "what thing" evaluation in the end.
But in the theater, I watched it with many fans, and I felt for myself how much those fans laughed at this film and how popular this film was.
He began to doubt his own aesthetics and began to reflect on himself.
Is it what kind of film is made at what age?
And what kind of film can be suitable for all ages and cover fans of all ages?
Zhang Pu is a young man, so he can better grasp the reputation of young fans?
Yu Qing finally shook his head.
Whether it is "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", or "Farewell My Concubine" and other films, those are more popular with the elderly.
Zhang Pu is a screenwriter and director who can grasp the tastes of fans of any age.
It's scary to think about.
This young man is amazing!
So should Sino-Swiss Pictures make some targeted films?
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Pu quietly left the theater with Xu Jiahui, perhaps because of the light problem at night, and was not recognized.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhang Pu saw Xu Jiahui holding his stomach, and then asked with concern.
"Stomach ache. Xu Jiahui said.
"Did your aunt look for you in advance?" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment and said.
"Laughing. Xu Jiahui glared at Zhang Pu and said.
"Laughing out loud auntie?" Zhang Pu's eyes widened, looking incredulous.
Not so exaggerated, right?
"My aunt didn't come. Xu Jiahui said angrily, "Maybe I laughed too much and too hard just now, and I tore my abdominal muscles." ”
Zhang Pu: ......
Ripping your abs?
This is as exaggerated as laughing at the great aunt.
But thinking about it, Xu Jiahui seemed to be really smiling a little exaggerated just now.
It doesn't seem impossible to laugh at a pain in your stomach.
It's just that this laughing hurts the stomach and lags a bit, right?
It's all out of the theater!
In the entire theater, except for him Zhang Pu, it is estimated that there are no two who are not smiling exaggeratedly.
The popularity of this film far exceeded his expectations.
Maybe it's because this kind of film hasn't appeared before.
"Your film seems to be very popular!" Xu Jiahui said with a smile, "Brother Chu's Ouyang Feng is very outstanding, and this role is completely different from his previous screen image." I didn't expect you to let Yunxi play Zhou Botong. ”
"I guess it's indispensable to be scolded!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
This style of film is certainly not everyone's liking.
People who like love love to death. People who don't like it will naturally criticize it decently.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Zhang Puda denied at the beginning that it was a movie adapted from a TV series.
So, fans of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" don't expect much from this film.
If you don't expect, you won't be disappointed.
With such a magic change, there is naturally no resistance to this film.
And the media and film critics have a good evaluation of this movie.
This movie, although it has no connotation and is purely a spoof, but fans can laugh from beginning to end after watching it, so it is very pleasing in this Spring Festival.
As a comedy, if it makes people laugh, that's good. Connotation, that kind of thing, is not common in comedies. Naturally, I won't criticize Zhang Pu's movie.
Of course, the efforts of the public relations department of Oriental DreamWorks are indispensable.
This movie is a funny film full of nonsense.
Although it is a comedy, the fight design in it is still very exciting. However, some media believe that the fists and embroidered legs in the movie and the use of stunts that are close to self-revealing are a rebellion against the entire new martial arts movie.
In the film, the battle between Huang Yaoshi and Duan Wangye is clearly a shootout, and that scene seems to tell the audience how the new martial arts movie is made.
As for the funny clips such as "Affectionate Knife", "Eyebrows and Eyes", and "Dry Firewood and Fire Palm", they are a mockery of the entire new martial arts movie.
The old naughty boy is still not clean with his senior brother Wang Chongyang, the sissy Duan Wang Ye finally ascended to heaven and became Jigong, the Nine Yin True Scripture was originally engraved on the toilet, and a lot of ridicule like this is very funny.
And these episodes have been talked about by countless fans.
Of course, the most talked about is Zhang Chu's performance in the play, his unlucky experience as Ouyang Feng makes people can't help laughing when they think about it.
Of course, in the film, it is not only Ouyang Feng played by Zhang Chu who is outstanding.
Huang Yaoshi played by Deng Kun, and Hong Qi played by Huang Ye...... These characters are brilliant and hilarious.
The reason why Zhang Chu is the most brilliant is that in addition to the deep impression of his unlucky role, I am afraid it has a lot to do with the subversion of his image.
"Look at this!"
On the morning of the second year of junior high school, Xu Jiahui swiped her mobile phone and looked at the comments about "East City and West West".
"See. Zhang Pu took the phone and immediately looked at it.
"'East Becomes West' is a very comedic film. The film exaggerates and subverts some of the ideas that underpin martial arts films. In this movie, the behavior of the characters is no longer righteousness, but dreams: the three princesses want to take revenge and practice magic skills; the amorous East evil is a beauty and is dedicated to eliminating evil; Ouyang Feng dreams of being a king, Hong Qi dreams of marrying his cousin, and so on. Compared with these dreams, supporting justice and emphasizing justice and life seem so insignificant in the movie. At the end of the film, it is no longer the chivalrous warrior who defeats evil, but the immortal ...... of nothingness."
"Isn't this comment interesting?" Xu Jiahui said with a smile, "Does it feel like a confidant?"
"Why do you only read good reviews?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"You look at the bad reviews, why are you looking for scolding during the Chinese New Year?" Xu Jiahui pouted and said.
When Zhang Pu heard it, he felt that it made sense.
Some directors like to watch good reviews, and some like to watch bad reviews.
Zhang Pu watched both.
He will make a summary from the film reviews to continuously improve himself.
He who praises you may not be justified.
Those who criticize you may not be without cause.
What Zhang Pu can do is nothing more than "change it if there is one, and encourage it if there is none"!
He will not be influenced by those comments, but he will continue to summarize and improve from them.
Zhang Pu is a person who is good at learning.
"Is the box office statistics out?" Xu Jiahui asked, "I watched "East Becomes West" almost as much as the other films combined, and I think the box office should not be bad." Do you think it will be the single-day box office champion?"
"Hancing!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
"But now the real-time box office has overwhelmed director Zhang Ke's "Special Mission"!" Xu Jiahui said.
"The real-time box office is calculated for today's scheduled box office. Zhang Pu said, "Today's single-day box office may be the single-day box office champion." However, yesterday is unlikely to be. ”
Zhang Pu didn't pay attention to the real-time box office on the Internet yesterday.
Soon, Zhang Pu got the news from the company.
"How?" Xu Jiahui asked curiously.
"Why do you care so much about the box office of the film this time?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"I like it!" Xu Jiahui said.
Among Zhang Pu's many films, this film is her favorite. What's more, this film is also related to whether Zhang Pu can become the first 10 billion director.
This also made Xu Jiahui pay more attention to the box office of this film.
"Special Mission" won the single-day box office championship with 230 million. "East Becomes West" came in second with 200.6 million. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"It's more than 20 million off, but now the real-time box office on the Internet exceeds that of "Special Mission", doesn't that mean that today's single-day box office has thrown off "Special Mission" by tens of millions?" Xu Jiahui said in surprise.
The accuracy of the real-time box office is undoubtedly getting higher and higher.
"It's only morning!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "However, compared to yesterday, the box office has definitely increased." After all, the film schedule has increased a lot. ”
On the first day of the release of "East Becomes West", it won the second place at the single-day box office with the fourth film schedule, and the increase in film scheduling is naturally logical.
What's more, the topic of this film is too high. It's so high that other films can't get it.
Of course, the film is also very controversial.
But what about the controversy, it's right that the box office has gone all the way up.
The film critics gave a score of more than seven and less than eight points, but the score of the fans was close to nine.
This film is undoubtedly the most rewarding among Zhang Pu's many films, on the Light and Shadow Network and the movie network.
"East Becomes West" is very controversial, but the film is indeed popular, and it is unbelievably popular.
The many actors who starred in this movie, needless to say, have gained a lot.
Among them, Zhang Chu is the most.
His image subversion this time has been affirmed by everyone inside and outside the circle.
And he advanced to the first line without suspense with this film.
Of course, in addition to him, Shen Ran, a quasi-first-line star, also successfully advanced to the first line.
Today, among the signed artists of Oriental DreamWorks, Deng Kun, Tang Rui, Huang Ye, Zhang Chu, and Shen Ran are five first-line popular stars. In addition, there are two quasi-first-line stars, Dong Qin and Guo Yunxi.
As far as signed artists are concerned, Oriental DreamWorks is now strong.
