At 6 p.m. on December 14th, in the auditorium of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beijing, the world premiere of the new film "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" directed by Zhang Yimou will be held here.

The movie will be officially released in China at 0:00 tomorrow, and in North America on December 23.

Although Tang An has been gaining momentum in recent years, he has been the box office champion in the summer for five consecutive years, and he still maintains the throne of the annual box office champion of Chinese films, and has successively defeated Xu Ke, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang and others in the same period.

However, Tang An has always been called the first commercial director, and the first domestic director who is really recognized in and out of the circle is Zhang Yimou.

In terms of box office, in 2002, "Hero" won 250 million box office in China, accounting for 25% of the annual box office.

Only this year, when Tang An wins Zhang Yimou in the same schedule, can he be pulled up from the altar.

Then, he walked up and stood at the top of the Chinese film director.

The premiere of the film of the first director in China is still in a place like the CPPCC auditorium, and most of the entertainment industry has come.

Han Sanping came to the premiere of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and China Film Deputy Dong Jiao Tufenol went to cheer for "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

Wang Zhonglei came here, Wang Zhongjun went to "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", he couldn't let Xu Ke get too close to Yu Dong.

Guangxian is also the vice president, and Wang Changtian went to support Yu Dong.

When Guangxian released his first film "Wounded City", he did not obtain the distribution qualifications, so it was controlled by Berner and co-distributed by Guangxian.

That year, Zhang Weiping was quite domineering, and directly shouted """Wounded City" will lose badly, "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" let it fend for itself, and we will take the rest of the Venice Golden Lion Award!"

Not only that, but it also monopolized all digital theaters in the country, signed an exclusive screening contract, and did not have a single digital screen to show "Wounded City" for a whole week.

After a week, it was only after Berna, Uniasia, and Huaying coordinated with the new picture that "Wounded City" could release 300 digital copies.

Zhang Weiping had a feud with the two companies at one time, and Wang Changtian naturally went to Yu Dong's field.

However, Wanda Songge, Pony Li Ming, and LeTV Zhang Zhao are all here.

After greeting for a while, Zhang Weiping went to greet the other guests, and they chatted together.

"Mr. Song, why didn't you go to Bernard, Tang An, Wang Changtian, and Wang Zhongjun all went. Zhang Zhao and Song Ge touched a cup, squinted their eyes and smiled.

Song Ge asked instead, "Didn't Mr. Zhang come too?"

Zhang Zhao said with a smile, ""Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is a remake of the movie, and I don't think there is anything new, but I am more interested in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". ”

Li Ming also said, "I'm also curious about what kind of film Director Zhang made this time." ”

Song Ge smiled and said, "The same, I am also more optimistic about "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". ”

The three of them chatted casually, but they all had the same thoughts.

Zhang Weiping used to cooperate with Jiang Zhiqiang to invest in Zhang Yimou's films, and while sharing the risk, he also took a fancy to Jiang Zhiqiang's overseas distribution ability.

This time, leaving Jiang Zhiqiang to do it alone, the production cost of 200 million plus the publicity fee of 60 million or 70 million yuan has invested nearly 300 million yuan.

If you haven't watched the movie, no one knows whether the audience will buy it or not, but as businessmen, they all know that when you put all your net worth on a desperate bet, you will often lose the worst, and you won't even have a chance to turn over.

What's more, there is now a billion-level "The Martian", as a bystander, from an objective point of view, the probability of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" recovering its cost at the domestic box office is not high.

As for the overseas box office, even if there is Christian Bale, this theme is unlikely to sell at a high price.

There is no doubt that Wanda, LeTV, and Pony are all waiting for the failure of this film to take Zhang Yimou down.

In the face of such a great director, I am afraid that except for Han Tang and Hua Yi, as long as possible, there is no other company that is not impressed.

......

At the same time, the IMAX hall of Shijingshan Wanda Cinema was also holding the premiere ceremony of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

Tang An ended the celebration banquet at noon when the box office broke 500 million, and he also brought the group artists to the scene.

Two blockbuster movies premiered tonight, and there were many people coming.

The ceremony was held at nearly 7 o'clock, and Yu Dong took Xu Ke, Li Lianjie, Chen Kun and others to the stage.

Yang Mi ran a trick inside, strictly speaking, she is a female No. 4, and she will also follow on stage.

Tang An sat down and watched, Li Lianjie wore a pair of glasses throughout the whole process, and kept his head down, estimating that his back was not good when he was old.

Zou Xun is a little old, and the post-70s Dahuadan has been active for more than ten years.

Chen Kun was too dark, but Li Yuchun next to him was very white.

At almost 8 o'clock, the film began to be screened.

As a remake or a second remake, the plot of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" can be known in your mind with your eyes closed.

has an audience base, but it is also a shackle for a second remake.

The old version of Shaw Brothers' "Dragon Gate Inn" was also a classic at that time, Xu Ke's Xinghai tactics were used properly, the actors fully fit the role, and then integrated their own new martial arts characteristics, making "New Dragon Gate Inn" surpass the old version and become a new classic.

Now how difficult it is to surpass the previous version, Xu Ke also knows that it is not easy, in addition to gathering three generations of stars in the lineup, he also started the idea of 3D and special effects.

In terms of action, Xu Ke's team obviously only took the action design to the extreme, and the editing was too fast, so fast that it was a little messy and lacked texture, making the audience feel like they were watching a stop-motion animation that mixed CG and physical shooting.

As for the universality of 3D movies, showing the effects of various depth-of-field scenes and dynamic objects coming at you is quite in place in this regard.

Whether it is flying sand and rocks in the sky, the Western Xia Blackwater City in the depths of the desert, or the battle scene where the blood of the blade and hidden weapon drops you come and go, the performance of 3D imaging is good.

And in order to highlight the three-dimensional effect, the settings of some locations, weather, and fights were also deliberately strengthened.

In terms of plot, it is naturally impossible to completely copy it, the original Dongchang chasing, desert fighting, and the inn's plot to attack this line has been greatly broadened, and it is no longer confined to one place in the Longmen Inn.

There is also an additional Blackwater City in Western Xia, the one mentioned in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which is very in line with Xu Ke's mysticism and romantic fantasy.

The characters have also undergone subversive changes, and the Dragon Gate Inn without the coquettish proprietress would not be the Dragon Gate Inn.

Although it is not as good as "New Dragon Gate Inn", it is also a rare martial arts boutique in the past ten years.

At the end of the 120-minute screening, the warm applause of the audience was enough to illustrate.

"Congratulations to Yu Dong, looking at the audience's reaction, the acceptance of this movie is still very high. Tang An clapped his hands and smiled at Yu Dong.

Two new blockbusters are released, and the next thing is to see tomorrow's box office!
