Chapter 546: Released
There are still so-called "leftists" in Hong Kong's local film distribution institutions, such as Yindu and even the mainland's own state-owned enterprises, which also have their own distribution channels in Xiangjiang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, correspondingly, the film materials and distribution channels filmed by Yindu have their own characteristics, pursuing progress and unity, and the films filmed and distributed are also mainly art films.
Wang Fulin chose Golden Harvest instead of Yindu, mainly because he hoped to make the Romance of the Three Kingdoms enter the mainstream of Xiangjiang films, so as to form a foundation for cooperation with the Xiangjiang film industry.
Golden Harvest's performance and influence are the attributes he values most, and with the size of the Xiangjiang Film Market, the money he actually makes can be said to be insignificant.
And the mature advantage in commercial distribution, Golden Harvest has indeed lived up to expectations.
leveled the only Liji group that dared to stand out, and after entering May, the release of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" was already on the line.
The major cinemas, hundreds of cinemas and major media newspapers in Xiangjiang are almost overwhelmingly promoting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In particular, a poster of Guan Erge's prancing horse horizontal knife has even won the love of almost all Hong Kong community members. Some bigwigs simply invited the posters back to the entrance of the hall and offered tributes and candles to worship.
For ordinary people, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Yellow Turban Rebellion are also a completely different movie. It can be seen from the poster that the set in the movie is by no means the stage style and childish atmosphere of Xiangjiang movies.
The almost completely real palaces, ancient cities, military formations that cannot be seen at a glance, and the war scenes of the Yellow Turbans and the army of the princes of the late Han Dynasty are all things that the people of Xiangjiang have never experienced in ancient Chinese movies.
This kind of atmospheric and grandiose historical drama has a completely different charm from the local commercial movies in Hong Kong.
What's more, the large production cost of 500 million yuan is claimed to be invested, and people can't help but wonder what kind of movie this is.
To be honest, Wang Fulin's first "Yellow Turban Rebellion" is still a little worse in experience after all. For example, the rhythm of the film and the integration of commercial elements are still far from the taste of local audiences in Hong Kong.
However, this movie also has its own points, such as intentions.
Whether a movie is intentional or not can be easily understood by the audience, and it is as easy to distinguish between a cheating work and a sincere work as a gold hoe and a silver hoe.
Needless to say, the opening song of the Yangtze River alone has overwhelmed the commercial films of Xiangjiang a few streets in terms of artistry. And the props, sets and character creation in the movie are even more completely ruined by the stage set-level Xiangjiang historical films, not to mention the TVB-level exterior scenes and the so-called war scenes at the group fight level.
For the people of Xiangjiang, it is simply unthinkable that the Soviet Union filmed the war and peacefully mobilized more than 120,000 troops.
Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Yellow Turban Rebellion did not have such a big scene, the number of group performances still reached the level of more than 28,000 people. In addition to borrowing some foreign aid from the army, dozens of winning teams from Hebei group gymnastics competitions were also gathered, and professors from the Department of History of Peking University conducted three months of ancient military training.
Such a big investment is to solve the problem of disconnection between the group performance and passerby A and the actor team in terms of acting skills. Of course, a real actor must not only receive ancient military training, but also traditional martial arts training and muscle-building training, and the requirements are even harder.
When filming the Red Mansion back then, the director team traveled all over the art troupes in the north and south of China just to choose roles. Jia Baoyu's actors have changed twice, Lin Daiyu and a group of actresses have to follow the red scholar in class, and they also have to write homework, rehearse sketches and live a military management life. Without these training contents, Wang Fulin's Dream of Red Mansions would never have become a classic.
Perhaps domestic directors are still deficient in their ideas on how to please the audience, but in terms of seriousness and spiritual consciousness towards acting careers, they have definitely thrown off several Hollywood colleagues in Xiangjiang.
In terms of the filming requirements of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms movie, Wang Fulin's preparation and requirements for the actors are even more excessive than Dream of Red Mansions.
With the sincerity of heart, seriousness, and carefulness alone, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is really sufficient.
Comparatively speaking, although the 80s were the golden age of Hong Kong films, the sincerity of practitioners in the Hong Kong film industry was not so sufficient. One movie in three months, Andy Lau can make more than a dozen movies in some years, no matter how good the actors' acting skills are, what quality can such a movie have? In fact, apart from commerciality, Hong Kong movies are simply useless.
And Wang Fulin tirelessly wants to break into the mainstream film circle in Xiangjiang, hoping to learn the commerciality of Xiangjiang films.
Under such overwhelming publicity, in mid-May, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" was finally released.
"It's ...... Romance of the Three Kingdoms!"
Although Xiangjiang was colonized by the British, it was still under the influence of Chinese culture. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the four famous novels, these four words alone are enough to attract the interest of many enthusiasts.
In terms of the concept of 20 years later, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms undoubtedly belongs to China's top IP resources, with hundreds of millions or billions of loyal fans in the Chinese-speaking cultural circle.
The reason why there is no panoramic epic Three Kingdoms movie in the film industry in Xiangjiang is purely because the hardware conditions cannot keep up, not that Xiangjiang lacks the soil of the Three Kingdoms.
Standing in front of the movie theater, under the huge poster of Liu Guanzhang and the three of them swearing is the climactic scene of the three of them rescuing Dong Zhuo in the bloody battle of the Yellow Turban Army, which simply summarizes the content of the whole movie.
The majestic war scenes make people's blood surge and uncontrollable at first glance.
Standing in front of the UA Cinema, as a fan of the Three Kingdoms, Ning Mu Ning could see the background of the story on the poster at a glance. Although she is a native of Xiangjiang, the first novel she read since she was a child was "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was still a line-bound book from the Republic of China that her father had already turned over.
Now I feel really surprised to see that there are movies of the Three Kingdoms in Xiangjiang.
"Husband, why don't we watch this movie today?"
Ning Mu held Lao Delong's arm and swayed, it was rare that her boyfriend, who had recently worked in Oji, was idle and could go shopping with her. When I saw the large poster in the movie theater, I walked with a little sore feet just to watch a movie and take a break.
"This movie is a fight, kill and kill, will you like it?" Laudron touched his wallet, and without waiting for Ning Muning to answer, he handed the money to the conductor.
He's just a fake fight, but he's actually happy or something. It doesn't matter what kind of movie he watches, it's long live to be able to watch a movie without going shopping!
"Hey, just look at this, Romance of the Three Kingdoms!" Ning Mu Ning shook his arm coquettishly.
"Okay, then look at this. ”
Taking the movie ticket from the conductor's hand, Laudron and Ning Mu Ning walked towards the movie theater.
Laudron and Ning Mu Ning had a lot of audiences, and the location was not too good. However, this did not affect their enthusiasm for watching the movie, in fact, almost most of them were talking in low voices before the opening, expressing their opinions on the Three Kingdoms movie.
"I heard that it was a movie made by the mainland, I don't know what it will be like, it won't be too simple, right?"
Someone in the crowd muttered with some concern: "But even if it's simple, I can't help it, after all, it's a movie of the Three Kingdoms, so let's barely watch it." ”
"How can it be simple? I heard that this movie has an investment of several hundred million soft sister coins, does Xiangjiang have such an investment? If you look at the poster, you will know that the mainlanders have specially built an ancient city!"
"Specialized...... Built a city? No, that's too exaggerated!"
"I know it, it's true. It is said that more than 300 million yuan was invested in this city, but in fact it has not been repaired until now. Didn't you read the name of the movie, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Yellow Turban Rebellion! There will definitely be a sequel in the future, such as the crusade against Dong Zhuo and the battle of Guandu, the three-point world, etc., it is a series of movies. In the future, maybe as the filming progress of the movie, more ancient city building scenes will be built. ”
"Can a single series of films recoup the investment? Is there such a big film market in the mainland?"
"You don't understand this, this ancient city can not only be opened to other ancient movies to use, but also can be used to develop tourism resources to hold various conferences, conferences and other functions, which is a big deal to make money!"
"Hey, stop talking, the movie is on!"
As a burst of music sounded, the movie theater suddenly fell silent.
After the opening of the Golden Harvest that Xiangjiang people are familiar with, the unfamiliar red, green and blue CTPG logo appeared immediately, and the China TV Drama Center, as the nominal producer of the mainland, brought a sense of freshness to the audience who are used to seeing the Golden Harvest logo.
Before the audience can remember this sign, as soon as the beginning of the film passes, the film has already begun.
In the seventh year of Guanghe, 184 A.D.
As soon as the camera turned, the eight characters of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Yellow Turban Rebellion with metallic texture produced by special effects were shattered and reassembled into this time unit.
Originally, in the historical version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was only introduced by the narrator as a background, has become the protagonist in this big movie version.
The bigger change is that after Hu Wenhai's intervention, the plot of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is not only to restore the novel and history, but also to tell a good story.
The film starts with Zhang Jiao's dissemination of the Taiping Dao, which not only depicts the side of the Taiping Dao believers who are oppressed by the landlords, but also describes their credulity and ignorance of superstitious thoughts. At the instigation and instigation of Zhang Jiao, the peasants who could not survive shouted "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." The slogan "The year is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious" launched a fierce resistance against the ruling forces represented by the bureaucracy and landlords.
When tens of thousands of poor peasants in tattered clothes and without food and clothing appear on camera, brandishing farm tools, wooden sticks and even bare hands, and shouting slogans feverishly to storm the city.
The Xiangjiang audience, who had never seen such a big scene, suddenly felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of their heads.
