Li Mo still has to admire the courage of LeTV Pictures to face difficulties, not hesitate to explode himself, and die on the spot.

"Frozen Gate of Rebirth" VS "Captain America 2"

It's not a close matchup at all......

First of all, Frozen Gate of Rebirth is not a very innovative story.

This is nothing new.

But when it comes to blockbuster movies, most of the stories are actually old-fashioned.

The bigger the investment, the more so.

"Titanic" tells the love story between a poor boy and a rich girl;

"Avatar" tells a story of resisting oppression and fighting for freedom;

Even "Avengers 4", which is the box office champion in film history, focuses on the camaraderie of everyone working together plus working together to defeat strong enemies;

These are all successful movies.

So in a sense, in fact, the story of "Frozen Rebirth's Gate" is not innovative enough, and it is not a big deal......

What's more, when the director was interviewed, he also made it clear that the movie was a remake.

But the question is, do you want to remake it, you want to pay tribute, so why don't you pick a movie that has been a success?

The original version of "Frozen Rebirth" was "Frozen Wonderman" starring Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua and Maggie Cheung in 1989.

When this movie was released in Xiangjiang at that time, the results could only be regarded as average.

In the box office list of Xiangjiang movies that year, this movie did not even rank in the top 30......

It is conceivable how bad the status of the movie "Frozen Wonder Man" is in the Xiangjiang film industry.

Having said that, the reason why he dared to make drastic adaptations and remakes on such an unsuccessful original work, and invested so much financial and material resources, is probably related to the fact that the main investor of this film is LeTV Pictures.

Since the establishment of LeTV Pictures in 2011, under the leadership of general manager Zhang Zhao, this can be said to be an emerging private media company, and has made brilliant achievements with a development speed worthy of the attention of the industry.

Not to mention anything else, when the level of "Little Times" came to LeTV Pictures, it was able to shoot and edit four films, and a total of more than 780 million box office, which has proved Zhang Zhao's superb operation ability.

Not to mention that he even tied Zhang Yimou............ and Lu Chuan......

probably felt that he had enough ability, so LeTV Pictures simply played a big game, not only invited Zhenzidan, the top brand of Xiangjiang action movies, but also pulled Ren Dahua, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Shengyi, and made up this "Frozen Rebirth Gate".

According to LeTV Pictures' plan, this movie with most of the plot coming from the remake is the first part of the "Frozen" series, if the box office results and the audience's response are good, then in the next time, this movie will be serialized as the leading sign of LeTV Pictures.

In order to reduce the cost as much as possible, LeTV Pictures even filmed the content of the second part neatly when filming the first part.

……… Does this look familiar?

That's right, the "Tai Chi" series invested by Wang's Group also follows this path.

The same Xiangjiang star plays the leading role, and the same vase actress plays the heroine, the same set of shooting methods, and the same editing methods......

In the end, there is the same bleak ending.

Although there is the battle between Zhenzidan and Wang Baoqiang as a selling point, Huang Shengyi is not yet a, but this lineup is worse than the original Yuanjiaban + Young Man God for more than 20 years.

Three days after its release, "Frozen Gates: The Gate of Rebirth" successfully won a box office of 71 million, which is acceptable.

However, although the luxurious lineup led by Sadako Dan can guarantee that the film will win 18% of the film schedule in the first weekend, there is no way to stop the audience from receiving bad reviews like a tide.

"Tianzhu myth + legend of the Ming Dynasty + time travel drama + avalanche + Captain America shield + 2D picture 3D subtitles + 35 yuan watched a title = LETV's top work of money. ”

"Frozen: The Gate of Rebirth 3D: It's so evenly rotten in every way, it's a strange flower. The traversal scene is messy and trivial, the emotional scene is almost mentally retarded, the actors' performances are pretentious, and the protagonist Wang Baoqiang, who said that he is good, has become a big dragon set, and what is even more maddening is that this pseudo-3D has no three-dimensional effect at all. At this level, do you still want to rely on the second film to make money? The list of nominees for this year's Golden Broom Award can be announced in advance: the worst film/the worst director (Luo Yongchang)/the worst actress (Huang Shengyi)/the worst script/the worst special effects. ”

In the era of "Jingwu Fengyun", "Guan Yunchang" finished his "The Strongest Happy Event", and finally arrived at "Frozen Rebirth Gate" with "Special Identity", "Together", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", and finally arrived at "Frozen Gate of Rebirth...... Sadako Dantong shoes, congratulations on completing the cross-genre bad movie seven kills, and strongly ask Hudou.com to add sporadic options!"

"In recent years, more and more movies have made people feel that giving them one star is a compliment!"

There are even reporters who came to interview Li Mo, hoping that he can talk about why the movies produced by Molong, which is also an emerging film and television media company, not only have a good box office, but also have a good reputation......

Regarding this question, Li Mo directly sent the reporter away with a cliché.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, the key is that after saying it, it won't be good for Mo Long or him.

Now his attention is focused on the editing of Zhuang Wenqiang's "Wushuang".

Since the completion at the end of December last year, Zhuang Wenqiang has actually submitted two edited versions to Li Mo.

…… But they were all beaten back by Li Mo.

Although Li Mo had not seen the officially released version of "Wushuang" in the original time and space, after completing the review of the edited version from the perspective of a professional practitioner, he still decisively and resolutely beat back the two versions.

The reason is simple: the pace of the film is problematic, the length of about 140 minutes is too long, and most importantly, the overall scale of the film is too large.

Zhuang Wenqiang's original version was edited entirely in accordance with Xiangjiang's film classification system.

Not only does the level of gore greatly exceed the standard of mainland films, but also before and after the passion scene between Li Mo and Liu Yifei, many scenes of Liu Yifei wearing underwear and showing the scar burned by fire on the left side of his body were also added......

Even according to the most conservative estimate, Li Mo feels that version is completely up to the standard of a grade III film.

Since there is no clear review standard at all when the mainland is conducting film censorship, Li Mo also spent a whole day, almost scene by scene, explaining to Zhuang Wenqiang why such scenes can appear in cinemas in Xiangjiang in a grand manner, but when they are submitted for review in the mainland, they will definitely be sent back for rectification......

Fortunately, although Zhuang Wenqiang did not have much time to deal with mainland companies and authorities, he did not cling to his so-called 'Xiangjiang Standards' like some Xiangjiang directors, and soon submitted a new version after roughly understanding the taboo of the mainland authorities' set of 'can only be understood but not spoken'.

Although Li Mo is not sure what the prospects of this movie are, he can at least see that Zhuang Wenqiang is sincerely doing things as a filmmaker!

With this intention, Li Mo feels that the prospects of "Wushuang" in this time and space should not be bad.

After accepting the new version sent by Zhuang Wenqiang, Li Mo and the person in charge of the company's distribution department discussed and finally set the release time of "Wushuang" on July 25 in the summer file.

After explaining all the work in the imperial capital, Li Mo set off to the Kingdom of Thailand to start the filming of "Detective Chinatown".
