Chapter 240: Respect for Movies (5/6)
After the Olympics, Lao Mouzi's prestige reached its peak!
'National teacher' was originally a derogatory term, but the media invented it to disgust Zhang Yimou, saying that he was a political axe royal literati and a lackey...
It should be "No One is Missing", at the end, after Wei Minzhi's search for students was reported by the TV station, the students were found, and the TV station sent a special car to send them back to the village, and a truckload of school supplies donated by all walks of life was also sent to the school.
Jacob, the president of the Cannes Film Festival, openly expressed his dislike after watching it, believing that the film was promoting the government.
Zhang Yimou wrote an open letter to break with Cannes, withdraw the film, and send it to Venice.
In the eyes of many people, Lao Mouzi is one-faceted and whitewashes the peace and is singing praises for the political axe.
Later, when "Hero" was released, this criticism reached its peak, and a bunch of experts and professors jumped out with the aim of instructing Zhang Yimou to have problems with his values and whitewash the tyrant Yingzheng...
It can only be said that the reason why Zhang Yimou can become Zhang Yimou is that in addition to his ability, his own strong ability to resist pressure is not beyond the reach of ordinary people!
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the world was shocked!
The name of the national teacher has become an honorific title.
"Three Guns" is almost a work of national attention!
From 18 o'clock on December 10, the screening will be held in large cinemas in major cities across the country, and as of 1 a.m. on the 11th, the ticket sales will end, and the national box office will reach 10.11 million.
The first-day score was 21 million, setting a new record for domestic films!
Belch...
The first day of "Three Guns" reached 55%...
"Mulan" and "2012" were directly released, and "Time and Space Traveler" still has less than eight percent of the film scheduled...
It has only been 4 days since its release, and the box office of "Three Guns" has easily exceeded 100 million.
Even CCTV's "News Network" broadcast the news that the box office of "Three Guns" reached 21 million on the first day in the form of a text message, saying that it set a "new high in the history of domestic films".
In order to build momentum for "Three Guns", Zhang Weipin directly bombarded Han Sanye as a mountain carving!
"A few days ago, I met a leader of the Film Bureau, he asked me, why you have not come many times in the past two years, I said, the Huabiao Award has become a monopoly and a cult of personality, I know that it is the highest award of the political axe, and I don't know which company's church - the audience is sitting in the hands of the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there is a shout of "Xie Han Sanye" above. What kind of "third master", I thought at first that the mountain carving was coming, and the Huabiao Award was in a miasma. β
So, the little steel cannon is a fart, does he dare to blatantly target anyone?
Why is Zhang Weipin so horizontal?
He has Zhang Yimou in his hand!
He really thinks that the box office of "Three Guns" can be 450 million...
......
First of all, as of December, the latest screen report has been released, 4800 screens...
Theoretically speaking, according to Zhang Yimou's appeal, the single-day box office of "Three Guns" can create 50 million - the highest single-day box office of "Golden Armor" broke 30 million!

But what, "Three Guns" is too... Unexpected!
When Zhao Benshan, Xiao Shen Yang, and Cheng Ye constantly subverted Master Zhang himself in Zhang Yimou's movie, it directly caused some people's aesthetic confusion - "This is a two-person movie! It is a collection of Zhao Benshan's sketches!" "Is this still Zhang Yimou?" "Is this still a movie?"
Some people even sighed: Zhang Lang's talent is exhausted, and Zhang Yimou's era has passed.
Someone else said a fair word: In fact, the murder of the shopkeeper and the cycle of stealing corpses and wrongful killings, the storyline originally had a light and intelligent jump and a sense of humor. Delete the two-person turn in the movie, this could have been a good and exquisite movie.
Douban is full of bad reviews:
When the movie ended, the audience in the entire movie theater was thundered and motionless, and when the song at the end of the film was finished, everyone began to think of scolding Zhang Yimou.
What a terrible movie it is, I don't want to recommend it to anyone unless you're a die-hard fan of Xiao Shen Yang. Is this what the work of the greatest directors in our country looks like? Is this a comedy? What kind of movie is this? Full of madness, chaos, humor, and blunt burlesque, it is really devastating, and it is indeed a movie that is expected to grab money.
Belch...
It's embarrassing, "Time and Space Traveler" is falsely listed for "Three Guns"!
Zhang Jin said directly on Weibo: 'A friend of mine, after seeing the poster and cast combination of "Three Guns", scoffed and said, "It's too much like the poster of the vulgar folk song and dance troupe that dances striptease in the countryside, so I don't want to read it." That's right, in the eyes of most people, "Three Guns" and Director Zhang are like a northern farmer who is drifting away. β
"Time and Space Traveler" has temperature, truth, kindness and beauty, this is a good movie in line with the times!"
Lu Xiaoran's fans even publicly shouted on the Internet: "The era of Zhang Yimou has passed, please pay attention to Lu Xiaoran!"
directly put Lu Xiaoran on the opposite side of Zhang Yimou...
Effect... Very good, anyway, the film schedule of "Time and Space Love Traveler" surpassed "Thorn Tomb", as of December 14th, "Time and Space Love Traveler" was released for two weeks, and the single-day results could exceed 4 million, with a cumulative box office of 230 million...
......
Actually, Lu Xiaoran knew that there must be something wrong with "Three Guns"!
You think, filming started in early June, and it was announced that it would enter post-production in August, and at the same time, it was firmly announced that it would be released on December 10.
The screenplay is based on Blood Labyrinth...
"Blood Labyrinth" is the work of the Coen brothers, what are the characteristics of the Coen brothers movie? film noir + Hitchcock!
At least that's how Blood Labyrinth is!
The scale is huge...
Adapting the script is difficult in itself!
And the project "Three Guns" was led by Zhang Weipin, who spent $2 million to buy the adaptation rights, and then Zhang Yimou took over...
This movie is probably to make up for the new crown film company - Lao Mouzi went to drum up the Olympics, and the new crown has not been harvested for more than two years!
A work made purely for money!
After the movie was released, as soon as several big Vs spoke, they followed a bunch of people to step on it, plus the audience did not welcome many experimental shooting techniques, and there was almost no line in the second half of "Three Guns", which gave the audience a bad experience when watching commercial movies;
Another reason is that the director is Zhang Yimou, and stepping on Zhang Yimou has always been politically correct until now...
Although I don't know why, there are just a bunch of people who think Zhang Yimou is rubbish...
But "Three Guns" is really problematic!
The biggest problem is probably this: this kind of movie doesn't need Zhang Yimou to shoot!
......
In a blink of an eye, on the 16th, the most important publicity stage of "Time and Space Traveler" has passed, and now it is the consolidation period.
The main creative team also separated and went to different activities.
Tangtang led Zheng Shuang to "Women in the World", and Lu Xiaoran continued on campus, at this moment, he was in the auditorium of Fudan.
The previous discussion does not need to be detailed, but at the end of the question session, a boy wearing glasses suddenly stood up and said, "What do you think of "Three Guns Shooting Surprise"?"
Xiao Lu Zileng paused, and then replied: "I haven't watched this movie yet, I heard that the reputation is not very good?"
"It's not good, it's a bad movie!"
"That's it, what Zhang Yimou photographed! Shameless for money!"
"At this level, you are embarrassed to say that you are a great director?"
Listen, the resentment of the masses!
Lu Xiaoran smiled: "Isn't "Thorn Tomb" and "Fengyun 2" rotten?"
"Rotten!"
Unison...
"Okay, I'm kidding, but there has been a lot of news recently that Chinese movies are getting bad, I think the main thing is that many mediocre movies have gotten high box office, giving everyone a sense of stupidity and money in the Chinese film industry, in fact, evaluating a movie is quite simple: the narrative and the characters, as long as you pass these two things, it is a passing work!"
"I really think that many investors and filmmakers are a bit of a magic barrier, just numbly piling up the so-called "big scenes" and "cast lineup", and wishful thinking that the audience can immediately take out the money in their pockets when they see this, and create one new box office record for Chinese films one after another. β
"The reason why this is the case is because our market is developing too fast, and the audience has a great demand for movies, which is also the reason for the high box office of bad movies..."
"But I still hope that everyone respects the movie, a good movie gets a high box office, and a bad movie deserves to lose money, so this is a normal market mechanism!"
