Chapter 697: Directing the Spring Festival Gala?
On the same day of the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve, four new films were released at the same time.
Several movies have little to do with Tang An, but Tang An is still paying attention to the repercussions of these four movies during the Chinese New Year.
In the afternoon, after a half-day of screenings, something could be seen somewhat.
Even if there is propaganda from all sides, but after all, it is the Internet era, and word-of-mouth fermentation is sometimes just a matter of one or two days.
After the large-scale screening of "The Return of the Great Sage", it still maintained the super high reputation of the previous screenings.
The plot is at least coherent and self-justifying.
Several of the main characters have highlights, either hilarious or touching.
The few special effects are not bad, and the 3D effects are also okay.
After all, it's an animated movie, and 3D is relatively simple to do than a live-action movie.
The flaws are not hidden, and from the perspective of the whole network, the overall evaluation is very good.
But there are still a lot of scolding, it's not too simple to pick a thorn, any movie, you can casually say a lot of shortcomings, these are and irrelevant.
In addition to "The Return of the Great Sage", the other three movies have different reputations, and "Where Did Dad Go" has formed a polarizing momentum on the Internet.
Many people criticized that this is not a movie, but an extended version of a variety show that is placed on the big screen to make money.
This is actually true, "Where Did You Going, Dad" has no narrative, no plot, and is really not a movie.
There are also this kind of variety movies in the United States, and they have also been nominated for several Oscars.
However, Optoelectronics gave the dragon mark, and if it can be on the big screen, it will be considered a movie.
Judging from the news, the response of the movie theater of "Where Did You Go Dad" was stronger than that of "The Return of the Great Sage", and many movie theaters were full of laughter, and even the scene where the children in the entire screening hall sang the theme song of Where Did Dad Go Appeared at the end.
Many viewers questioned that "Where Did You Go Dad" was only filmed for five days, and it was as shoddy and money-making as the "The Voice" movie, but this film is really not bad.
I really thought that any popular variety show could make money by making a movie version, the audience was not so easy to fool for a long time, the previous "The Voice", and the later "Extreme Challenge", all hit the streets, and the latter won more than 100 million box office.
"Where Did You Going, Dad" can make the audience laugh, which is much better than many movies, isn't the Spring Festival just about spending money to go to the cinema to laugh.
Most of the audience laughed, and they didn't think it was worth it!
However, the box office of this film can't be too high, after all, the audience is there.
The response to "Aomen Fengyun" was also average, and the audience who watched "God of Gamblers 3" was disappointed, this is not a gambling film at all, just an ordinary comedy movie.
The standard Wang Jing style, a fast-paced comedy film, and the easter egg at the end can be regarded as the biggest climax of the whole film, and it can be regarded as allowing the long-awaited audience to finally see the God of Gambling Gao Jin on the big screen again.
There is a long comment on a certain forum, which probably means that this film is not good, but in the end, it is enough to see Gao in and out.
Then Wang Jing finished filming this film, and there was only a sequel to "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
Both films have mixed reputations, and the films are just like that, but if they can attract the original target audience, the producer's goal has been achieved.
And the reputation of "Havoc in Heaven" is a little worse than these two movies, whether it is special effects, plot, or characters, there are no bright spots.
The background of the full CG production is resplendent and brilliant, but it is obviously distorted.
Even if the plot subverts the original work, the adaptation is not a thing, as long as it is changed well, the audience has nothing to say.
Princess Iron Fan is the sister of the Jade Emperor, and the Guanyin version can command Bodhi, and Bodhi was also seconds by the Bull Demon King.
At first glance, it looks ridiculous, but in the end, it is the reason why it has not been changed, and these can be accepted by the audience.
The story itself is a mess, the plot is rushed, and the characters seem to have an infantile disease, and they are stupid in talking and doing things.
Sun Wukong is stubborn, but not stupid, here is completely a stupid monkey who is fooled and manipulated, and has no personality highlights.
What kind of gods and demons, good Eastern classical mythology has become Western magic.
There are too many slots, but there are not many highlights that can attract the audience, so you can only rely on the name of the IP and the appeal of the stars to make money.
After last year's "Journey to the West", the signboard of Journey to the West is still very loud.
Tang An is quite funny looking at these news and long comments on the Internet, these media, audiences, and water armies are either very difficult to listen to, or super good.
The good parts of the movie can be sprayed into S, which is obviously very garbage, and it can blow flowers in a different way.
It's all about people.
When it comes to special effects, it's beautiful, and it's true, it's splendid.
Speaking of the plot, don't be more serious about the original work, the adaptation can't follow the original work, a subversive feat.
You can say whatever you want, anyway, the keyboard is in your own hand.
On Weibo, Mr. Six and several "scholars" who study the culture of Journey to the West, posted an article that Tang An also read.
Most of the comments at the bottom are critical of the movie, which is expected.
However, there are no six scholars this year, and their voices can't make any waves.
Tang An originally wanted the propaganda department to arrange some reporters to interview Teacher Six to see if he could speak more fiercely.
But after thinking about it, forget it, even if he doesn't arrange reporters, reporters will take the initiative to come to the door.
When "Journey to the West" was released last year, Teacher Six gave a lot of interviews, and there were no good words, but it didn't have much impact on the movie.
Tang An looked at so many messages in support of Teacher Six, and he also sighed secretly.
Public opinion can sometimes lift a person up to heaven or throw a person into hell.
Now the reputation of the sixth teacher is still very good, until the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey for two years, CCTV did not invite the sixth teacher to the Spring Festival Gala, and the majority of netizens have not scolded them miserably.
Later, the sixth teacher went to the Spring Festival Gala in Liaoshentai, and that performance was on the hot search, and it was called the performance of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
At this time, Teacher Six was still an old artist, but within two years, he became "Xiba" in a blink of an eye, and the transition was so fast.
In the final analysis, the character design is not done well, there is too much negative news, and he also uses the image of Sun Wukong to make profits.
Just imagine, if Teacher Six only criticized those Journey to the West movies, did not accept those endorsements, and did not make money with the image of Monkey King, it would not have become such a situation.
Public figures, the most important thing is the character, once the character collapses, it's over.
......
In the afternoon, Tang An left the company and rushed to CCTV Studio 1 to participate in the Spring Festival Gala broadcast live tonight.
This year's Spring Festival Gala is Feng Xiaogang as the chief director, and there are several people in the entertainment industry to assist, and there are many more actors on the stage than before.
Outside the studio, there were already a lot of people waiting.
There are a lot of celebrities here, the group's companies, Wang Xiaoming and his wife from Huayi, Wenzhang and his wife from Ahri, one or two major companies have come, and a group of people have already gone backstage.
And there are some national team artists who don't have to go on stage this time.
"Happy New Year, everyone. ”
Tang An walked over with a smile and smiled at everyone.
"Hello Tang Dong. ”
"Happy New Year to Tang Dong. ”
Crowded.
Tang An nodded with everyone, and first greeted Tan Jing, the big demon king on the side, "Hello Mr. Tan, it's a pity that I can't hear your voice at the Spring Festival Gala this year." ”
"Mysterious Superstar" needs a female singer to sing, it can't be a familiar voice to the audience, so naturally you can't find a singer in the circle.
When the Youth Song Contest was held in the second half of last year, Tang An went to the scene to take a look, Tan Jing was a judge at that time, got to know her, and finally introduced her alma mater, a graduate student of the popular major of the Jiefang Military Art College, whose singing skills are not worse than many well-known singers.
Tan Jing smiled, "Hello Tang Dong, my body is inconvenient, and I can't help it." ”
Tang An said, "Yes, the body is important, I would like to congratulate Teacher Tan and Deng Dong on their happy son." ”
Tan Jing is nicknamed the Great Demon King, a member of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and is also a singer that Tang An prefers, if it weren't for his inappropriate voice, Tang An would have wanted to invite him to sing for "Mysterious Superstar".
Tang An said, "Beijing Satellite TV wants me to do a favor at the Spring Festival Gala next year, if I don't have time, I really want to ask Mr. Tan to help me finale." ”
Tan Jing smiled, "Since Tang Dong invited, then I will definitely help." ”
Tang An shook his head and said, "But I don't have that time, and the company has to film again." ”
This CCTV Spring Festival Gala invited Feng Xiaogang to go, wanting to sweep away the decline of the previous two years.
Beijing Satellite TV actually has a good experience, and wants to invite Tang An to direct a Spring Festival Gala, with Tang An's fame, I want to have a wave with Xiangnan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangning, and Dongfang.
"Haha, Tang Dong is a talented person to be the director of the Spring Festival Gala of Beijing TV. ”
A familiar voice came from behind him, and Zhang Hongsen, director of the film bureau, walked over.
"Don't let Director Li hear this, otherwise I'll think I'm playing a big name. Tang An smiled.
The boss of the film bureau came, except for a few big names, the others were not as casual as Tang An, and they all greeted each other with some restraint.
Zhang Hongsen nodded slightly, looked at Tang An, and said with a smile, "Tang Dong is still afraid that Director Li will misunderstand, so why don't you help?"
Tang An said helplessly, "You don't know much about the Forest Bureau, I am still filming "Mysterious Superstar", and "Operation Red Sea" is also preparing, and I haven't even had a day off for more than a year. ”
It's not that I'm afraid of a Beijing TV station, even if it's the capital, it's just a second-tier TV station.
In the second half of last year, the director of Beijing TV passed away due to illness, and Guo Degang, an old opponent of Beijing TV Station, also wrote a limerick on Weibo satirically, accompanied by a picture of a big red happy character.
This situation dared to be tough, and it also provoked the Beijing TV station to mobilize the China Broadcasting Association to block it.
However, the ban is useless, he doesn't rely on the TV station to eat, but a few apprentices have taken refuge in the Beijing TV station.
The official of Beijing TV Station is a faction, and Lao Guo is not a good bird from the grassroots to the point where he is now, and no one on both sides will let anyone.
Jingcheng TV has cooperated with Han Tang, and wants to invite Tang An to also participate in the blocking.
He only participated when he was full, and besides, people are not in the same industry as him.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Hongsen whispered, "This time it is also an attempt to find Feng Xiaogang to be a director, if the effect is good, I may find a director in the film industry to participate in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the future, if you have an idea, you can fight for it." ”
Originally, some people proposed Tang An, Zhang Yimou and others this time, but Feng Xiaogang has one of the biggest advantages, he is from a comedy background, which is just right for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, isn't the Spring Festival Gala just to make the audience happy.
Tang Anxin moved, directing the Spring Festival Gala is a novelty.
But it's not a good thing, and you can't make all your own decisions, the restrictions are too great, and there are many things and trouble.
"Thank you, but I've definitely been out of time for the past two years. Tang An shook his head and said.
"Think for yourself, there are some benefits to this. ”
Zhang Hongsen didn't say much, Tang An was really busy, managing such a big company, and he had to make movies every year.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Hongsen walked away.
Tang An chatted with the director of the film bureau very casually here, and some actors next to him could only watch and wait for Zhang Hongsen to leave before talking to Tang An.
Wang Xiaoming came up with Yang Ying, "Happy New Year to Tang Dong." ”
Yang Ying also said very well-behaved, "Tang Dong is good." ”
Looking at the two of them, one in a big red suit and a red dress, Tang An smiled, "You guys are really festive in this dress, when are you going to get married?"
The boyfriends and girlfriends in the entertainment industry are the most unreliable, but Tang An knew that they would get married later, so he asked casually, anyway, there is no topic, you can't praise other people's wives for being beautiful, then Wang Xiaoming should have an idea......
Wang Xiaoming glanced at Yang Ying and said, "We are going to wait another year." ”
Tang An said, "That's congratulations, I have to eat your candy when the time comes." ”
Wang Xiaoming hurriedly said, "That's certain, it must be sent to Tang Dong." ”
"But Xiao Ming, you are about to get married, this career is still so bad, and you went to pick up a Republic of China love TV series. ”
Wang Xiaoming was a little ashamed of what Tang An said, his achievements on the big screen in the Mesozoic Era were one of the highest, the second male lead in "The Wind", the first male lead in "Chinese Partner", and he also won the Golden Rooster Actor, and the limelight at that time completely overshadowed Deng Chao, Chen Kun and others.
As a result, now, Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Liu Ye, and Huang Bo starred in the box office, and he was left to fight miserably.
Although he is very miserable on the big screen, acting one and one fighting, Wang Xiaoming is now full of confidence.
"Tang Dong, I didn't have a good script before, I still have four movies released this year, "Taiping Wheel" and "The White-Haired Witch" are definitely not bad at the box office, it's always my turn to turn over. Wang Xiaoming said confidently.
"Taiping Wheel" is the Chinese version of "Titanic", although "The White-Haired Witch" is not a big IP, but it is not small, and he and Fan Binbin star, Xu Ke is good at martial arts films.
“... Then I'll wait and see if your acting skills have improved in the past few years. ”
Tang An has nothing to say, this Wang Xiaoming has never received any better films.
chatted with everyone, and turned his head to see that Wen Zhang, Bai Baihe and his wife were also on the side.
I don't know each other, it's still a raccoon dog, and Tang An didn't say anything to them.
Congratulations to Wang Xiaoming on his marriage before, but now I can't bless the divorce of these two teams.
