Chapter 468: Rat-Throwing Trap
With the successful conclusion of the test screening of "Beijing Meets Seattle", Molong Media has generously shown the evaluation of the media and many audiences.
At this time in the original time and space, Liu Yifei finished filming Chen Jiashang's "Four Famous Shops...... Well, it should be after the trilogy of "The Four Famous Catches", because he was tired of playing the roles of all kinds of beauties in ancient costumes, he resolutely took over films such as "Dew and Red Face" and "Night Peacock", not only stagnating on the road of acting, but even in terms of popularity, he almost collapsed because of an inexplicable relationship......
However, in this time and space, because of the appearance of a certain traveler, Liu Yifei not only did not fall into the quagmire of "The Four Famous Catches", but won the Golden Rooster Award for "Get Out, Tumor", although it is inevitable that Li Mo and Molong Media have the credit of public relations, but at least to a certain extent, Liu Yifei has been partially affirmed in terms of acting skills, as Liu Yifei starred in another new film after nearly a year, both the industry and the audience have paid enough attention to "Beijing Meets Seattle".
Fortunately, although Xue Xiaolu tossed all kinds of things during filming, but after having enough material, her post-editing is still very reliable, from Li Mo's point of view, the chemistry between the unmarried doctor played by Jin Dong and the fashionable female editor played by Liu Yifei who is trapped in love is not inferior to the original Wu Xiubo and Tang Wei, plus the 'Valentine's Day' schedule with the characteristics of the Celestial Empire, as long as it is operated properly, it is not difficult to surpass the original version and obtain an excellent box office result.
…… Of course, the premise is to be able to deal with the three major obstacles in front of you......
One of the roadblocks is "Frozen" from Baby Di from across the Pacific.
Relatively speaking, this opponent is the easiest one to deal with.
Although Di Baobao's princess series is basically invincible in most countries around the world, in the East, where values and worldviews are completely different, especially in the Celestial Empire, the world's second largest film market, it can basically only be described as tepid.
What's more, the habit of Di Baobao's princesses to start singing at every turn is completely inconsistent with the habitual cognition of the audience in the Celestial Empire, so generally speaking, the main viewing groups of anime movies like this have always been young children and parents who accompany their children to watch the movie......
On the whole, the movie-going groups of "Frozen" and "Beijing Meets Seattle" do not overlap, and it is not worth investing too much energy in it.
The second obstacle is the rare big production of Xiangjiang Films in recent years - "Journey to the West: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace".
It is said that after entering the new century, with the decline of the Xiangjiang film industry, talents continue to go north, and more and more Xiangjiang film companies are accustomed to making a lot of small productions to entertain themselves.
And "Havoc in Heaven" is not only a 3D mode, but also gathers stars such as Zhenzidan, Guo Fucheng, Zhou Yanfa, He Yundong, etc., and it is said that a lot of effort has been spent on special effects......
Judging from the above characteristics, if only from the perspective of the film industry, "Havoc in Heaven" can indeed be regarded as full of sincerity.
However, it's a pity that the above things are only reflected in the 'publicity' in the movie.
To be precise, "Havoc in Heaven" is a very mediocre blockbuster, so bad that you don't know which angle to scold from, because it is all-round and has no dead ends.
Poor special effects, like the heavenly soldier phalanx like "The City is Full of Golden Armor", but Zhang Yimou is a real person, at least so many people in the phalanx have spent labor costs and clothing costs, and these things can more or less drive the economy and employment of some industries in China...... ,
The most important thing is that you have used computer special effects to generate, how difficult can it be to make it look good?
The bad lines are not only deliberately showy, but it is estimated that they have been planned to be released during the Spring Festival during filming, and all kinds of attempts are down-to-earth and pleasing, but the result is boring and boring, which is counterproductive;
If the above problems are only limited to the level of technology and details, then at the level of plot logic. "Havoc in Heaven" can be regarded as a failure.
has lived two lives before and after, and Li Mo has not figured out why the screenwriters in Xiangjiang always like to make up and change things that are already very good.
Obviously, "Journey to the West" is in front of Zhuyu, even if you feel that the original story is not grounded and can't adapt to the new era, it is enough to add a little background of fairy and demon confrontation at most, who knew that the screenwriter of "Havoc in Heaven" would have such a big time......
Why do you think Rundong is playing the Saint Seiya?
In fact, he is the god of Erlang;
Do you think Zhou Yanfa is playing Taishang Laojun?
In fact, he is the Jade Emperor;
Do you think Guo Fucheng plays the Bull Demon King?
Well, you guessed it, his character is indeed the Bull Demon King......
Of course, the happiest thing for the audience is that they can finally stop seeing Sadako-dan's face.
In addition to liking to follow the trend, Xiangjiang Film's biggest hobby is that if an actor is very popular, then for a period of time, there will be scripts of various themes and contents handed to him......
Sadako Dan in recent years is such a person.
Since 2008's "Ip Man" came out, Zhen Zidan can be regarded as the most prosperous Xiangjiang filmmaker in the mainland market in recent years.
People are booming, natural film appointments are continuous, and Sadako Dan seems to be planning to make up for all the wasted years of the previous ten years in recent years, so the selection criteria for scripts have also been relaxed a lot.
Beginning in 2008, for the last five years, he has basically maintained the frequency of three films a year.
As an actor who focuses on action scenes, this frequency can be described as extremely high.
Of course, under the effect of this frequency of playing, the audience's acceptance of Sadako Dan's face is also declining at a rate that is visible to the naked eye......
Moreover, this time Sadako Dan is still challenging the classic image of the N generation - Monkey King.
The six teachers in this year have not yet developed to the point of ridicule on the whole network, and the Monkey King of Zhenzi Dan is indeed an all-round wonder, so as the popularity of the Spring Festival stalls fades, the box office of "Havoc in Heaven" is currently 780 million yuan, and the possibility of continuing to explode in the future no longer exists.
Basically, it can be said that "Havoc in Heaven" does not pose a threat to "Beijing Meets Seattle......
Now, the most troublesome thing is "Beijing Love Story".
For this movie, Li Mo feels a bit of a bogey.
Although Cheng Sicheng has no power, the financier behind his movie is Wanda, and Wanda now controls the largest cinema system in China, and this alone is enough to make Molong Media feel tricky when specifying targeted plans.
