Chapter 119: The Battle of the Golden Dragon (4/5)
(Who said that one less chapter doesn't affect the viewing, come out, I'll kill you!I'm serious!)
"It's okay, the topic he provoked first!"
Sugar Producer didn't care, and then revealed: "Producer Zhang won't be proud for long..."
Su Lun was curious: "How do you say it?"
"I'm telling you, you are not allowed to reveal it to others!"
β... You say. β
"Sister Zhong has already contacted Lao Mouzi's team, and soon, Lao Mouzi will become our own person!"
Su Lunlen paused for a moment, and then asked, "He wants to sign us?"
"It's unlikely that the contract will be signed, it should be a partnership, he wants to make a movie in the future, and we will be responsible for investment, publicity and distribution!"
"What about the producer?"
"He, what does he love, leaving Lao Mouzi, who knows who he is..."
Hanging up the phone, Su Lun became excited...
That's big news!
Do you want to tweet?
Forget it, Sugar Candy says it's a secret...
Most young directors still admire Lao Mouzi very much, even if Su Lun followed Feng Xiaogang at the beginning...
......
Tangtang publicly scolded Zhang for filming, and more people on the Internet criticized Zhang Producer, Lao Mouzi and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"...
even called for a boycott of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"...
Producer Zhang was very unimpressed, he even felt that the topic was not lively enough!
"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and Xu Ke are not in his eyes at all!
He's an old rival with Bona!
When "October Siege" was released the year before last, a "special rectification action" of "anti-three guns" was launched, and the evaluation of "the worst in the history of Lao Mouzi" from the test screening site was greatly improved!
In order to defeat "Three Guns", Bona orchestrated a collective encirclement by many media and film critics, and "October Siege" was touted as the best Chinese film of the decade.
Director Chen's ex-wife Hong Huang and former chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards Man Yi even carried out a series of irrational and malicious attacks on "Three Guns" and the main creators on their blogs.
Ms. Hong Huang even insulted Director Zhang directly on Mango Channel's "Zero Point Fengyun" program, in order to help "October Siege"...
"I'm stupid to think he's a great director, but after watching it, I feel insulted, is my IQ so low? I suggest you just watch the film, Lao Mouzi is an old-fashioned director, but everyone thinks he's very famous, and this movie is nothing after watching it! There's nothing new at all, he's imitating and plagiarizing himself, it's too cheap. I feel raped by him!"
(I'm quoting the exact words!)
Of course, Producer Zhang is not a good match!
Direct salary draw: On the day of the release of "October Siege", "Three Guns" secretly rebated five points to the theater!
Anyway, "Three Guns" was filmed cheaply...
This time it is more extreme, directly blocking Bona Cinemas!
Don't give a copy of Bona Cinema's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"!
Yu Dong couldn't sit still, Bona's 22 cinemas were all counting on the Chinese New Year stalls for dinner, and if they didn't give a copy of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", what would the cinema put on?
directly adjust the file of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and release "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" four hours in advance!
Then, on the 15th, two blockbusters were released...
A bunch of people are concerned...
As a result, the box office of the two blockbusters plus one on the first day was only 39 million - the painting opened on Thursday.
Even on Friday, one was 30.94 million, the other was 28.78 million, and the addition was only 58 million;
At the end of the first week, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was 138 million;
"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" 132 million...
And it didn't open up much of a gap!
Both movies did not meet expectations at the box office!
Even if you add it together, it's barely more than "Source Code"...
Many people are puzzled.
In fact, the reason is very simple: the director and starring candidates have always been important factors for the audience to choose to watch the film. Especially the big directors, their star effect even outperforms the starring role in many cases!
Many viewers don't go to watch "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" because they don't like Lao Mouzi's "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" or "The Surprise of the Three Guns", even if they know that the genre of these two old works is fundamentally different from "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".
Similarly, some viewers said that the reason for their rejection of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was that they were disappointed with Xu Ke's recent works such as "Women Are Not Bad", and thought that "Xu Lao Wei" had "exhausted Jiang Lang's talent".
The comments of netizens are more direct:
"I don't like Lao Mouzi's consistent routineβββ using history, culture and art to set up the stage, power, capital and consumption to sing. β
"Just by looking at the title, you know that "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" will be an uncreative film, and a big director really shouldn't fry cold rice at this age. β
"I'm a fan of martial arts, and I watched "Guan Yunchang" and "Yangmen Female General" this year, but I was so excited that I almost vomited blood after watching it. I really don't dare to watch "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" again, and refuse to be fooled again!"
"I don't like "Nanjing!Nanjing!", so I won't go to watch "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", it's as simple as that. β
Obviously, whether it is the 1 billion box office claimed by "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" or the 800 million box office announced by "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", there is no play!
......
The time is the 18th, and "Fireworks in the Day" is the last shooting.
The plot of the Ferris wheel.
In the Ferris wheel car, the heroine who was found to be a secret wanted to fool the past...
Next is the male protagonist who takes the initiative.,He wants to vent the dissatisfaction and resentment of these years of difficult life.,The female protagonist didn't have a choice.,What did she do in drunkenness and remorse...
The Ferris wheel chosen by the crew is very sturdy, enough for three or five people to go up.
Let's be honest, it's a very exciting show...
Why shoot last?
Because it's hard work, and it's very boring to shoot.
Lu Xiaoran has been an actor and a director, and what annoys him the most is passion plays...
Really, what the audience sees is the footage after the editing, which is natural and smooth.
But the scene...
You want the perfect effect, the actors have to keep the mood, the camera has to change angles, and there are a few technical mistakes...
Well, a minute or two of plot will have to be tossed for at least a few hours!
Exhausted!
Neither can old drivers!
The camera is on your face, how do you keep your emotions moving?
And...
Big brother, it's minus 30 degrees!
Sometimes I really admire Dongni Jay, why do you say he is so professional?
Finally finished, Lu Xiaoran checked the lens, and then quickly asked people to help the actor get off the Ferris wheel...
I didn't have a finale banquet either, it was too late, it was almost early in the morning...
I have already arranged a bathhouse, and I soaked in hot water, which is much more comfortable...
After a few people took a bath, they gathered in Lu Xiaoran's room.
Before saying goodbye, Lu Xiaoran said: "Teacher Yuan, Brother Liao, let's see you at the Berlin Film Festival next year!"
Liao Fu asked, "... Are you so sure you'll make the cut?"
β... Of course, you don't look at who I am!"
"Can I win a prize?"
β... It's hard to say if you win the prize, but you should be able to win a little golden bear for your performance!"
"Haha... I don't believe it, let's go!"
