Chapter 56: First Day Results (5/5)
Lu Xiaoran is not very familiar with most film critics in the circle, except for Ah Lang.
There's no need to deal with them!
Just like Zhang Yimou said: The most important benchmark for evaluating a commercial film is the box office, and frankly speaking, there is no powerful film review in China!
'When I look at the current reviews of Chinese films, they all put the theme first, and when I have won a work, I always talk about ideology, culture, and meaning first, so that we will lose more and more audiences?
In their eyes, there seems to be a certain avant-garde thought, a certain rebellious spirit in the work, so everyone desperately affirms it. And the average audience is not interested in telling your story well, and they are not interested in understanding the content, avant-garde and challenging ideas behind you, and the result is that this comment slowly leads Chinese films to a dead end - the reputation is so high, it seems to be very high-level, but no one watches it. โ
โโSouthern Weekly Interview
You see, a master is a master, that's what people say in 03!
Chen Qingsong is a relatively well-known film critic in the circle, which circle?
Movie Critics Circle!
There are many titles in front of his name, director, screenwriter, film critic, writer, and has served as a judge, director and planner of well-known domestic film festivals such as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the College Student Film Festival for many times.
Last year, a Golden Broom was created, with the aim of following the example of the Golden Sour Plum Award in the United States and establishing the Golden Broom Award to award awards for the worst film of the year.
There are more and more bad domestic movies, and the audience has long been dissatisfied with this.
Now there is an award for bad movies, and everyone is undoubtedly applauding!
But what, this guy himself is very problematic!
Because he has to unite one part of the people and suppress the other part!
In later generations, scolding some traffic all day long, with Wang Hailin, you are, you scold Tianbao, Guan Gege, and Green Dayi, catch Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, Xiao Zhan and the like and spray hard, is it interesting?
Scolding the work is scolding, but I have to say that the brains of ordinary people who watch this are not easy to use...
A feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone!
Coercing the interests of the capital party will be shameless to the end.
However, he only posted this Weibo for a minute, and it was deleted!
Nonsense, do you think Lu Xiaoran is muddy, but you also want to touch porcelain?
However, some netizens took a screenshot of the sharp eyes and asked Lu Xiaoran, 'Do you know who this person is?'
Lu Xiaoran replied politely, "A half-film critic likes to swagger!"
......
premiered on the 25th, and the whole screen was released on the 26th, and Lu Xiaoran has already gone to Shanghai.
After running six theaters, later, I was interviewed by "Watching a Movie" at the hotel, Ah Lang:
"Do you have the confidence to set another box office record?"
Lu Xiaoran shook his head: "Before, I must have considered the market situation before making a commercial movie, otherwise, I wouldn't have looked for Andy Lau for "Rescue Mr. Wu";
Ah Lang thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed, this movie is too special!"
Then asked: "Many people have this movie very similar to "Hurricane Rescue", how do you respond?"
"Haha, it's really quite similar, in fact, this kind of movie is very similar, it is the story of the protagonist fighting violence with violence..."
After a pause, Lu Xiaoran continued: "In my own opinion, "Lone Agent" is an action movie with a genre narrative, we have no intention of opening up new film genres, to develop so-called challenging, different ideas from predecessors, the important thing is to use our means to make a movie that is very attractive to the audience, try to shoot well, try to shoot tastefully..."
Ah Lang asked again: "Will many people's criticism of you be pressured?"
"Sort of, I'll still read the news!"
"Can you talk about the Golden Horse Awards?"
โ... I'm not with them, I don't need their awards, if I wanted to win them, I'd go for Cannes, Berlin or Venice, not the Golden Horse!"
"You seem to be prejudiced against them?"
"It's because they're prejudiced against me, if I'm Taiwanese and I made "Rescue Mr. Wu", do you think they will award me the Golden Horse Award?"
Ah Lang was silent for a moment, and Lu Xiaoran smiled: "I have long known that any award is actually a small circle game, and literary and artistic films with real artistic value can shine at major international authoritative film festivals, so why do you want to be affirmed by the handouts of the Chinese Film Awards on a small island?
"If you want to push a newcomer, if you push a favorite one in a group of eighty points, everyone will default to this unspoken rule. If you push a person with a sixty or even a failing grade in a group of eighty or ninety points, then don't blame me for not admitting it!"
"Many people say that you don't like to use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, is it true?"
"No, every time I cast a cast, it's based on the role, I just don't like to use some flashy star actors, they're too expensive!"
"Mission Impossible 4, will you go to audition?"
"Go, of course I'm going, just talk about the overseas distribution of "Lone Agent"!"
didn't talk much about it, "Watching Movies" launched a video version, one episode is only ten minutes, and it is impossible to talk too much...
Finally, Aaron asked, "I heard that the new movie has been launched?"
"Well, the special effects have been done for more than three months, and we try to ensure that it will be released in November next year!"
"One a year?"
"Haha, there may be two next year!"
......
Speaking of Lao Liu, after she pushed off "A Chinese Ghost Story", Liu's mother was very angry - the salary for filming "Source Code" was 1.8 million, and the cycle was half a year...
Pre-preparation, post-publicity - that is, at least eight months without other income!
If you take over the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", not to mention the salary of 2 million, the endorsement fee will also be millions!
She didn't understand why her daughter couldn't even count such a simple account!
I am very concerned about the casting of "A Chinese Ghost Story"...
Liu Yifei stopped acting, which does not mean that the crew stopped directly.
They chose and chosen, and finally decided on Gao Yuanyuan!
There is really no young actress in Hong Kong who can do it!
She told Liu Yifei the news, but the latter didn't speak and went out directly...
"Where are you going?"
โ... Watch a movie!"
"What movie to watch?"
""Lone Agent", Lu Xiaoran's new movie!"
"I'll go too, I want to see what this director is capable of!"
Liu Yifei smiled, turned on his mobile phone, clicked on the Weibo interface, and the first hot search was "Lonely Agent" with a box office of 39 million on the first day, setting a record for the highest opening in film history!
