Chapter 90: Nanjing! (2/5 Subscription)
Feelings are really valuable, tried and tested, no matter what, someone will pay, this is the root of evil!
If allowed, it is estimated that there will be film companies that will gather Cang Jingkong, Fan Daoai, and Song Zhifeng together to make a "The Women We Masturbated in Those Years", a documentary mode, and let them talk about their experience of becoming popular back then, and it is estimated that the box office can have hundreds of millions...
When Jiao Mingjun, Wu Jing, and Fan Xiaopang appeared, the corners of Yu Feihong's eyes moistened, and the audience roared excitedly...
Childhood plot!
Sister Yu hugged a few people: "Long time no see! How did you get here?"
"Your first movie, of course we have to support it!"
Nonsense, Yuehua has worked so hard, can you come...
The perch turns on the blind queen asking mode:
"Eh, isn't it "Xiao Li Flying Knife"? Why are you holding a sword on the poster?"
"Oh, I don't even remember!"
Fan Xiaopang looked at the poster of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" very magically, on the poster, Li Xunhuan's face was solemn, and he held a sword in his hand...
Jiao Mingjun thought about it seriously, and then said, "This, I don't remember either..."
""Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword..."
Wu Jing complained...
"How old were you when you were filming this film?"
"I was thirty years old, and Bingbing was 17 years old at the time, so I was very young..."
"When I was filming at that time, it was quite embarrassing, because a lot of special effects had to be added in post..."
A few people, you say a word, I say a word back then...
The audience watched with relish.
……
On May Day, many movies were released.
The first to bear the brunt is Lu Chuan's "Nanjing! Nanjing!", a film known as 'commemorating the Nanjing Massacre'...
In fact, whether it is "Ke Ke Xili" or "Nanjing", Lu Chuan has major flaws in the play, and what is very uncomfortable is that Lu Chuan will always stand on a moral high ground, making it difficult for people to criticize his films. For example, we will respect "Ke Ke Xili" because of its hardships, or praise him for the courage of "Nanjing", but none of this can hide Lu Chuan's serious failures as a screenwriter and director.
What is the essence of the Nanjing Massacre?—— is.
What is the essence of the Japanese army?—— it is a bad guy.
That's the final conclusion. All reflections, if different conclusions are derived, is fart.
This was also the initial starting point. All reflection, if it deviates from this starting point, is also a fart.
Regardless of the extent to which the term "major right and wrong" has been abused, it is still necessary to say: major right and wrong should not be confused.
"Nanjing! Nanjing!" is based on the perspective of the Japanese army, but in fact, it is not a useful attempt.
It is understandable to shoot the Japanese army as a human being rather than a beast, and many of the Japanese army are not inherently evil, which is a matter of course.
But you must not show the Japanese army so warm, so full of compassion, and even let go of the two Chinese in the end, and even committed suicide by drinking bullets.
In a group of Japanese soldiers who can use killing as a game for entertainment, Kadokawa can have a character like that, but how can he play the leading role?
Kadokawa is too "normal", so normal that there is no extreme in the slightest, and the Nanjing Massacre is such an abnormal atrocity, will it be a group of "normal" people?
Let's just change the name to "Kadokawa!Kadokawa!" Okay...
Art has no borders, but artists have borders, Lu Chuan may want to use this theme to pretend to make the audience think that he is an artist who has transcended national borders, who knows that most Chinese people did not buy it.
This movie gives people the feeling that there are obviously seven petals on a flower, the other six petals are big and gorgeous, and the remaining one is small and ugly, and Lu Chuan has to point to that small petal and say that it is ugly, what can others do? He is not wrong, you can't refute it, but it is the diaphragm!
"Nanjing!Nanjing!" is not a bad movie, but it brings more disappointment than any bad movie.
Even if "Wuji" is filmed as a piece of, everyone has laughed and laughed, but they are distressed about the ticket money.
But "Nanjing!Nanjing!", you are moving the theme of the Nanjing Massacre, and you are sorry for the two exclamation points in your title.
Of course, this theme does have its difficulties, and many previous movies with the same theme have not been called successful.
Perhaps we can indeed say that how to view history is still controversial, and it is not yet "time to discuss Nanjing".
But the question of "Nanjing! Nanjing!" is not how to look at history at all, but whether or not history is respected.
A movie that plays with ingenuity everywhere, but it is wrong at the root.
Jiang Wen said very well, "I am very opposed to those pseudo-humanist works, that is, they have to show that the Japanese are also raised by their parents-to be clear, they are raised by Japanese fathers and Japanese mothers." Human nature is not necessarily good, and under certain conditions, such as war, it can be evil. ”
So, such a film is understandably not doing well at the box office ...
By the way, during the promotion, Lu Chuan promised that as long as the box office of "Nanjing Nanjing" exceeded 150 million, he would run naked.
From now on, Lu Chuan doesn't have to run naked...
Very good!
……
In addition to "Nanjing!Nanjing!", which occupies 30% of the film schedule, Wang Jing's "Money Empire" will also be released on the 29th, in addition, there is also a "Wolverine" scheduled for May 3rd...
The schedule chosen for "Love Has an Afterlife" is not very good!
At least that's what the industry thinks!
Then, at 0:00 on the 29th, the midnight show of "Love Has an Afterlife" set a record for the midnight show in 2009 with 31,000 viewers and a box office of 1.01 million.
On the same day, "Love Has an Afterlife" occupied the first place in the single-day average film schedule among the top 15 cities in the country with 36.02%...
The box office did not disappoint, the first day of 32 million brushed the first day of 09 box office champions, not only that, Weibo, post bar, including some newspapers and magazines, are full of praise about "Love Has an Afterlife".
"A very beautiful movie!"
"I really admire Yu Feihong, the first time I became a director, I dared to write, direct, and act in one, the story is complete, the characters are portrayed well, and a very poignant love story is told, which is quite good!"
"I've finally seen a normal story..."
On the second day of its release, the screening scale of "Love Has an Afterlife" was expanded again, and the film schedule reached 42%...
once again brushed down the single-day box office of 34 million...
Audiences who were originally a little skeptical immediately bought tickets, they didn't want to miss a domestic masterpiece.
Manipulating the box office is probably the most traditional marketing method for Chinese-language films.
The difference is that at this stage of the original time and space, because of the opacity of information and the backwardness of the secondary market, the issuer dared to brag unscrupulously - there was no regulatory body anyway...
After 2011, information became more and more public, and multiple mobile phone software could view the box office in real time, and the phenomenon of blowing and coercing basically disappeared, and it could be transformed into a new way of counterfeiting - self-production and self-sale.
Three days before the release of "Love Has an Afterlife", it sold nearly 20 million box office by itself, and then handed over a result that shocked everyone: it broke 100 million in the first weekend!
