Chapter 555: Remakes are in danger

"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven" is a remake of the movie.

Overall, a remake is a ...... It's hard to define by such a simple criterion as whether it's good or not.

Say it's a good thing, right?

In the history of Chinese and foreign films, there are indeed many examples of remakes that surpass the original version, or even replace the original version to become the classic memory of a generation.

For example, Xiangjiang Xu Laowei's "New Dragon Gate Inn" is based on Hu Jinquan's old version of "Dragon Gate Inn", borrowing the classic martial arts environment of "Inn", supplementing and expanding the cause and effect of the story, and carrying it forward......

Although strictly speaking, except for the background and scenes of the story, there are still some shadows of the old version, the others have basically been changed beyond recognition by Xu Laowei......

…… But that doesn't stop "New Dragon Inn" from becoming one of the classics in the history of martial arts films.

Corresponding to the successful remake are naturally those that have been magically adapted to the original film, but have not been so successful.

And "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven" is just one of these not very successful remakes.

Of course, in this time and space, "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven" has not yet been released, whether it is its main producer Berner Pictures or Wanda Pictures, which participated in the sharing of production costs, they all feel that they have a great advantage......

On July 29th, two days before the official release of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven", Berner Films held the premiere of "Bright Moon Heaven" in the "Premiere" column of Yang Ma 6.

Although "Wushuang" produced by Molong Media is the strongest opponent in the same schedule, Berner Film and Molong Media have no grudges in the past, and not long ago, Yu Dong, the president of Berner Films, also accepted the invitation of Molong Media to attend the financing promotion conference held at the Royal Hotel.

Although from the perspective of Berner Films, it is unlikely to participate in the financing plan of Molong Media, but in any case, as a veteran film company in the industry, the presence of Berner Film did greatly contribute to the momentum of Molong Media's promotion conference.

Because of this, Li Mo and Liu Yifei came to the premiere of "Bright Moon Heaven" hand in hand.

Compared with "The Breakup Master", which was released a month ago, "Bright Moon Heaven" has many fewer competitors in the release schedule.

Among the movies released on a large scale on the same weekend, only Zhou Runfa, "Wushuang" starring Li Mo and Liu Yifei can be regarded as evenly matched, as for "Small Times 3: The Age of Thorn Gold", which was released two weeks earlier, has long passed the time when fans supported the popularity, and the number of films has gradually declined since last week, basically posing no threat to "Bright Moon Heaven......

In the following month, in addition to DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon 2", only "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2: Dawn of War" can be regarded as a possible threat opponent, and in addition, for almost a month, there will only be "Mushuang" and "Bright Moon Heaven" to compete.

To be honest, with the current size of the Celestial Empire film market, it is already possible to accommodate two billion-level movies in the same schedule.

…… Probably this is also the reason why Yu Dong can smile so much.

After all, the market is big, and the situation of tearing the skin and competing for a piece of meat in the past is still much better.

Even if you can't eat a round belly, it's not so difficult to mix up a full belly.

Since they were invited to the premiere, Li Mo and Liu Yifei are also very conscious.

Not only did he walk through the red carpet much faster than usual, but he was also relatively low-key when he passed through the media interview area, just saying a few words that were appropriate to the situation, and then he was ready to walk into the infield......

When he was about to walk out of the interview area, director Zhang Zhiliang, who had short hair, gave Li Mo a second look.

Because this guy's speech is listening...... It's a bit harsh......

"Frankly speaking, I really don't dare to make some movies that reflect social reality in the mainland," Zhang Zhiliang frowned, as if he was thinking about how to explain what he wanted to say, "because there are too many minefields, too many things to take into account, I am worried that I will shoot some things too realistically......"

"However, the subject matter of the movie is originally very diverse, outside of the real world, we also have a world built with fantasy," probably after saying the sentence just now, he suddenly remembered that today is not for him to make a speech on current affairs, Zhang Zhiliang quickly turned the topic back, "And the best thing about the movie is that we have a place to turn our fantasies into reality and let everyone share my dreams, and this is the original intention of my film......"

Listening to Zhang Zhiliang's interview, Li Mo shook his head and left the interview area with Liu Yifei.

To be honest, he didn't understand one thing for two lifetimes: why those Xiangjiang filmmakers must live in a pool of stagnant water that is already tattered and hopeless.

Through cooperation with Zhuang Wenqiang, Zhou Yunfa and even Liao Qizhi and others, even Li Mo has to admit that the fact that Xiangjiang Films can usher in the 'golden decade' in the nineties of the last century is really not explained by the so-called accident.

It is the fruitful result of generations of Hong Kong filmmakers who have continuously absorbed the excellent factors in the external environment and integrated them with the local culture of Hong Kong for a long time.

But in the same way, after entering the new century, the external environment is also undergoing great changes that have not been seen in the past few decades, and this is where Li Mo is most confused.

In the past few decades, Xiangjiang Film has relied on the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought to succeed, why after entering the new century, it is also facing great changes in the external environment, but Xiangjiang Film simply and straightforwardly stated that it will stick to the tradition and refuse all changes?

Li Mo doesn't care about the affairs of the Xiangjiang film circle, and he doesn't plan to care, he came today just because he was invited to come over to help others, if Zhang Zhiliang tore up with him in the interview area because of a few words, then Li Mo's brain is really in water.

After leaving the interview area, because the red carpet ceremony had not yet ended, and Li Mo and Liu Yifei were not the type to socialize on this occasion, the two simply ran directly to the lounge, intending to wait until the red carpet ceremony was almost over before entering the theater with the large army.

Unexpectedly, not long after Li Mo and Liu Yifei sat in the lounge, the actor of the movie, Wang Xiaoming, came in with his girlfriend Yang Tianbao.

Wang Xiaoming not only cooperated with Li Mo in "Chinese Partner", but also cooperated with Liu Yifei in "The Condor Heroes", although the relationship between the four people is a bit complicated, but they can also be regarded as friends, so as soon as he saw Li Mo, Wang Xiaoming greeted him warmly.

"Director Li, Yifei, thank you for coming to the premiere," Wang Xiaoming looked full of spring breeze, "I saw the two of you on the guest list, but I didn't see it after looking for a long time in the waiting area, and I thought you two didn't come." ”

"The two of us are just foils today, where did we steal the limelight from you. ”

Although his impression of Wang Xiaoming is not as close as Deng Chao's, as the so-called 'reaching out and not hitting smiling people', Li Mo Zire also knows what to say at such a time.
