Chapter 38: Hanging (4/5)

Shanghai, "Jingwu Fengyun" publicity.

A reporter asked directly: "Are you making a superhero movie?" Chen Zhen is a hundred, it's too!"

Screenwriter Chen Jiashang was very dissatisfied: "Chen Zhen was originally a fictional character of Mr. Ni Kuang, and filming Chen Zhen's story is definitely not a historical documentary." ”

"China now and China at the time of filming "Jingwumen" have undergone earth-shaking changes. I read the news some time ago and said that China has surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest economy, which is a remarkable thing. China is strong, Chen Zhen, a fictional national hero, the spirit and temperament he wants to embody, and even the shape, of course, must change and become stronger. ”

Another reporter asked: "Then why do you want to detain the name of Jingwumen?"

Liu Weiqiang replied: "As a mainstream movie, we still have to present positive characters to the audience. Chen Zhen represents the spirit of self-improvement and never giving up, and Jingwumen meets our requirements..."

Chen Jiashang continued: "In "Jingwu Fengyun", the opponent that Chen Zhen has to face is still the assassination team with Japanese benzene **** as the main body, which is the inheritance of the classics. But in terms of expression, "Jingwu Fengyun" tries to create a grander hero Chen Zhen. ”

"So, Tianshan Black Hero?"

"Yes, we're going to prepare for a sequel and build our own superhero!"

"Many people comment on our excessive consumption of patriotism, you know, most of the heroic stories in China took place in that era, either against Orientals or Westerners, which is something we can't change when we create this story. If we say that we create some new types of heroes out of thin air, it is not impossible, but it is a little immature now. From a business point of view, the risk is greater. ”

Well, you guys won...

Even more surprising was the praise from the media:

Hong Kong director Lau Wai-keung handed over a shocking answer sheet - no childish and thin labeling, nor deliberately sensational, its double-line narrative is very Hollywood-style.

Chen Zhen is both Qi Tianyuan and the man in black, which forms a clever confrontation with Shi Qing or Keiko Nakayama played by Shu Qi, and the wonderful development of the film is the tragic competition between the man in black to protect and the fierce Shi Mengzuo to chase and kill the anti-Japanese righteous soldiers, and finally reach the climax in Chen Zhen's single-handedly defeat in the Hongkou Dojo.

Liu Weiqiang has followed the "national narrative" that Hong Kong filmmakers have been immersed in exploring in recent years - using superb narrative skills and excellent film stories to tell grand patriotic themes, which is also the most admirable "gorgeous turn" of Hong Kong films.

It seems that it was not them who lost to "33 Days of Broken Love" on the first day, close to 9 million...

……

Lu Xiaoran also rushed to Shanghai, but on September 25, the fourth day of the movie's release.

The day before yesterday, it won nearly 34 million at the box office in a single day, accounting for half of the total market;

Yesterday, another 39 million was taken in a single day, accounting for 65% of the total market!

In the three days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it grabbed a box office of 97.5 million...

Almost broke 100 million...

The word of mouth is very good.

Douban score: 7.9 points.

"The most down-to-earth realistic urban film in recent years;"

"It's a story that grows out of our present life, joyful and warm. ”

"A good film that is good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking,

"We finally have a domestic modern version of the healing movie, an amazing low-budget movie!"

Word-of-mouth has a great impact on a movie that has been released, especially a large-scale commercial film, and the most direct impact is the film scheduling, "Jingwu Fengyun" was cut 5% of the film schedule was given to "33 Days of Broken Love"...

The higher the film schedule, the higher the corresponding box office.

Lu Xiaoran knew that the box office of "33 Days of Broken Love" was very high, and the star lineup of the original time and space was really weak, and Wen Zhang at that time had just finished acting in "Ocean Paradise", which was not a movie café at all, and Bai Lily was even more than Wang Luodan...

And the whole story is filmed like a TV series, even the picture is the same!

It's not cinematic at all!

It also won 320 million box office!

In this time and space, Lu Xiaoran + sugar candy, popularity and influence far exceed the original!

Even in terms of production, the photographer used Song Xiaofei, an artist, and props master Yishui's "Time and Space Traveler" level...

Whether it is word-of-mouth or box office, "Jingwu Fengyun"...

……

"I think whenever we make a movie, we have to consider a problem of empathy, you have to make the audience believe the story you tell!

"Actually, before the official start of filming, we discussed Wang Xiaobei together, because this role is difficult to grasp, there is a proper noun in Hollywood called Gayhoney, you can check it, this type of role actually means homosexuality. ”

"Wang Xiaobei loves Huang Xiaoxian, so he can't be gay, I designed a lot of actions to prove that he is a cleanliness fetish, not Gay!"

"So it's very difficult for him to act, you have to play a little fresher, his mouth is very cheap, and he is different from ordinary warm men..."

"Actually, the only principle I have to take the book is that the character should attract me, the market and the like, which are all the evaluations given by the audience after the movie is released. ”

"Why do you want to work with Tangtang?"

“… Because she's suitable!"

"You guys, don't you think that she is sitting there silently now, very much like Huang Xiaoxian possessed?"

The reporter hurried to interview Tangtang, who gave her husband a blank look, and then pretended to be interviewed...

In the past few days, I have been running to Guangzhou and Shenzhen in a row, and I am about to vomit when I talk about it!

For example, 'how do you summarize the character of Huang Xiaoxian?'

'A bitter and mean lovelorn older young woman. is more stubborn, knowing that self-esteem is the dirtiest thing in the world, and he has to be with it for the rest of his life. ’

'What are the similarities between you and Huang Xiaoxian?'

'Knife mouth tofu heart is a problem that every girl has. As a simple example, duplicity is a situation that all girls will have when they fall in love, don't think that girls say "no" really no. She's stubborn, that's a lot like me...'

Since the release of "33 Days of Broken Love", in a week's time, Lu Xiaoran and Tangtang have traveled to ten first-tier ticket warehouse cities across the country...

The effect is very good, as of September 29, before the release of "Di Renjie", "33 Days of Broken Love" won a box office score of 186 million.

However, major media generally believe that the single-day box office champion of "33 Days" may give way, and on the 30th, "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" will be released!

Xu Ke + Andy Lau + Liang Jiahui + Liu Jialing + Li Bingbing + Deng Chao, this is the box office of 300 million!

And the film was the first to be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea, the first weekend, the Hong Kong box office reached 4 million Hong Kong dollars, the Taiwan box office reached 20 million Taiwan dollars, and the Korean box office exploded directly: the first weekend attracted 190,000 moviegoers, 1.5 million US dollars!

"The Empire of Babel", which was released on the first day, won the box office of 20 million with nearly 40% of the film schedule!

It looks pretty good, but the attendance rate is not as good as "33 Days of Broken Love".

The latter's film schedule is only 20%, and the single-day box office is reported to be 14 million...
