Gangster Films (Part I)

The Spring Festival stalls have been divided from the first morning!

It's not that other movies are too bad, but "The Wandering Earth" is too good!

Whether it is word-of-mouth or other aspects, "The Wandering Earth" is obviously a cut above other competitors in the same period.

Then as expected, 320 million on the first day, 410 million the next day, and then soared all the way, 450 million, 460 million, 502 million, 460 million...

In seven days of the Spring Festival, 2.622 billion was won...

It accounts for more than 60% of the overall market!

After the Spring Festival, the speed of harvesting the box office has not decreased, and the box office growth rate of more than 200 million yuan has continued in a single day.

After 15 days of release, it won 4.8 billion box office...

Then "Alita", "How to Train Your Dragon 3", "Green Book", "Captain Marvel" were released one after another...

"The Wandering Earth" fixed its box office at 5.3 billion...

Ranked second in film history, becoming the third film in Chinese film history to enter the 5 billion club - "Wolf Warrior 2", "Detective Chinatown 2", "The Wandering Earth"...

The whole horse is produced by oranges!

At the beginning of March, "Alita" was released, and James Cameron came to China to promote...

People are here to sell at the box office!

However, the card god's card is big enough, and Lu Xiaoran and Guo Fan have gone.

A truck driver who became a world-famous guide?

The starting point is a short film!

He wrote and directed "Extraterrestrial Origins" and sparked a $30,000 investment from a group of dentist friends.

Of course, due to lack of funds, Cameron could only make a 12-minute short film of the sci-fi masterpiece in his head.

The short film became a stepping stone to his entry into the film industry.

He showed the short film to Roger Coleman, the owner of the B-grade film company New World Pictures, who admired the prop models and lighting sets for the film's special effects, and Cameron became the company's modeler.

Coleman, who also came from a science and engineering background, was an informal hirer of talented and enthusiastic young people — and his low-budget productions were the starting point for many of Hollywood's biggest names, including Coppola, Scorsese, Ron Howard, Jack Nicholson, and others.

Roger Coleman, if you want to talk about Bole, he should be the most awesome Bole in the entire Hollywood film history!

Take it away, even if it's extra, you can't be so watery...

Insert a sentence, before the release of "Alita", a bunch of people blew "Alita" to beat "The Wandering Earth"...

There is a strange question, "The Wandering Earth" has almost been supported by most fans, both word-of-mouth and box office, have set a new height in domestic sci-fi movies, but there are still so many people who tirelessly black "The Wandering Earth", just like "The Wandering Earth" sold in China and made his father die!

It may be a bit too much to say this, there is indeed a group of fans who are not interested in science fiction, and "The Wandering Earth" did not meet their expectations, so it gave a general evaluation.

But there are also a group of herding dogs, foreign slaves, kneeling tribes, they do not have the life of foreigners, but they have the disease of foreigners, they can't see a little good in China, seeing that the Chinese around are standing, they will shout hoarsely, why don't you kneel to the foreign adults.

Whenever China makes even the slightest progress, they will spare no effort to smear it.

As for the people who collect money to do things, what do you say about this?

Some people collect money, and naturally some people collect money to boast!

Now, Kashen has personally cleaned up "The Wandering Earth"!

It's a pity that "Alita" is really not good...

The exquisite special effects, the details are completely beating "The Wandering Earth", but unfortunately, it is about a cliché love - the law of dead boyfriends!

……

Lao Lu has made many public appearances recently.

"New World" is coming!

has to promote his own movie.

"New World" belongs to gangster films.

What is a gangster movie?

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances.

The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, happy revenge, how much material does it provide for gangster movies?

Lame bosses, tragic heroes, how many people are enthusiastic?

When it comes to gangster films, "The Godfather" is definitely number one!

"The Godfather" is the best film in the history of film in the minds of many directors, depicting the family feuds in the heyday of the mafia with fine pen and ink.

Although the film has a huge layout, a complex plot, and many characters, director Coppola has handled the whole film in an orderly and gripping manner, it is a gangster epic, one of the greatest gangster movies in film history, and is known as the bible of men.

By the way, last year's Ten Questions to Mr. Cui, the sixth master mentioned the "Godfather" series, and said, "Have you seen the movie "The Godfather"? It describes the story of the Italian gangster family.

Hehe, there are really underworld families looking for Coppola!

In that year, the movie "The Godfather" was launched, and Joseph Colombo, the head of the Colombo family, one of the five major crime families in New York, and his organization, the "Federation of Italian and American Citizenship", began a protest movement, sabotaging film shooting and stealing photographic equipment. Executive producer Robert Evans recorded in his autobiography that Colombo threatened him and his family to get him home, leaving a threatening note in his car: stop immediately, or else...

Later, producer Albert Lardy negotiated with Colombo on behalf of Paramount, explaining to them that the film would not portray all Italian-Americans as gangsters;

Instead, the film shows a balanced perspective of a criminal world that is necessary for a film.

The two sides finally reached an agreement, and Laddy agreed to hide the words "mafia" and "Sicilian mafia" from the film script, so that the film could be successfully filmed in "Little Italy", one of the mafia gathering places in New York...

The sixth master should really read more movie anecdotes...

Wouldn't it be okay to give another example?

I have to prove myself with "The Godfather"...

Well, back to the big series of gangster films, after "The Godfather", gangster movies have become popular, "Once Upon a Time in America", "Goodfellas", "Vulgar", "Extremely Evil", "Infernal Affairs" and other masterpieces have emerged in an endless stream, Martin Scorsese, Takeshi Kitano, John Woo, Johnny To and other directors have gained a firm foothold in the world film industry with their violent aesthetics.

Japan, Hong Kong, including the current Korean films, gangster films have always been an important branch genre!

Takeshi Kitano won the Golden Lion Award for "Fireworks" - "Fireworks" symbolizes love and violence with beautiful and dazzling flowers and raging fire, reflecting the theme of life and death!

Hong Kong movies themselves are inextricably linked to the Black Society, "The True Colors of Heroes", "Po Hao", "Underworld"...

There are even more Korean movies and gangster films, such as "War with the Criminal", "The Insider", and "Asura" are all typical representatives.

Briefly talk about Korean gangster films, so brave and ruthless, fierce and bloody, full of anger, whether it is hand-to-hand combat or gunfight, they are fierce and ruthless, and they attract blood; I especially like to describe the struggle and tearing of human nature, and the excavation of the character's heart is delicate and layered, and the psychological state of the individual is often closely related to the social environment...

The overall narrative of "New World" refers to "Infernal Affairs", but in terms of character creation, of course, it follows the path of Korean gangster films!

The movie is scheduled for March 15th, and "Captain Marvel" will be released for a week...

This schedule is not very good, but it is not bad - there are not a few particularly powerful movies in the same schedule.

Before the release, Lu Xiaoran led Gu Tianluo to "Old Friends Don't Defend It"...

After the launch of "Old Friends Are Not Defended", the topic has been very high, especially after the hit of "The Wandering Earth", Wu Mengda became popular, which led to "Old Friends Undefended"...

What does it mean to turn red?

Let's put it this way, before "The Wandering Earth", Uncle Da took on a movie, regardless of the size of the role, with a salary of 800,000, and after "The Wandering Earth", there is no 3 million to talk about!

It's that realistic!
