Chapter 407: "Super Body" Released (1/5)
All of Lee In-gang's films are stable at the same quality.
About five points, definitely fail!
"The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" is the same...
When it comes to Li Rengang, everyone knows him, deeply influenced by the aesthetics of Japanese films, flying saucer steel helmet control, wool coat control, historical theme-stirring stick...
In fact, there are opinions on the way to serve the Tao, some people like the steel helmet man, and some people think that Uncle Feng Xiang Yu's appearance is simply handsome, which is indeed not enough to constitute a slot.
Why did Li Rengang pull out to shoot first, because he represents one of the most fatal flaws of a group of Hong Kong directors who went north to create, that is, the pattern is small.
It can be seen from "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" that they really have no historical background!
Mainland audiences grew up watching Bao Guoan's Cao Cao, and they couldn't adapt to watching Liu Songren play Cao Cao all of a sudden-for fear that Zhao Yun would look at Cao Cao and directly shout out that the Red Flower Club Iron Blood Youth League greeted President Chen!
Even "Chasing the Dragon" is the same!
"Chasing the Dragon" is Wang Jing's best movie in recent years, it is good, it is a bit self-defeating compared with "Once Upon a Time in America", in a word, it is limited by the pattern, Donnie Yen's life and death over and over again are rich and rich, in the ears of mainland audiences who are accustomed to seeing big scenes, it is like a broken thought in a sentence that does not work.
What is the Mandate of Heaven, please ask the Hong Kong director to find the disc first and watch the "Armageddon" trilogy!
Before any director tries to discuss the propositions of Mandate of Heaven, reincarnation, history, and the great era in front of the Chinese audience, he should first preview what the real big scene, the big reincarnation, and the great nature are from the historical perspective of the Chinese audience.
If you don't figure this out, you can start filming, and the result must be very embarrassing.
At that time, as soon as "Hero" was born, it was criticized by the media and newspapers, from the shape of the sword to the shape of the characters, the arrangement of the whole story was refuted one by one, it was an era when the old Three Kingdoms had not yet gone away, and the mainlanders were still full of awe of these things written in the history books!
The pattern is a resultant presentation of the director's intention.
Even if you try your best to restore it in the service road, you still can't make up for the deficit in the pattern!
What does "Red Cliff" want to show, does John Woo really know it himself?
Liu Bei should love the people like a son, so he arranged for the public security officers to play straw shoes and serve the people as servants of the people;
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun should be very good at playing, so they will arrange more plays.
That's all, the director's perception of history and ability to grasp the key points are not even much higher than that of an ordinary person. can be in charge of the camera, can speak the play, can command a ticket of people from left to right, plus a little historical opportunity, the hard work of a good actor, and have a little bit of good work, can you be called a great director?
Any mainland practitioner with a professional background, a solid basic education, and a certain amount of historical knowledge, when he sees Li Rengang's things, will turn on the map cannon mode in his heart, thinking that this thing is simply made by a historical idiot.
Then I had a strong desire for self-preservation, and I had to shoot a film with the same subject to prove that I was on our side.
In fact, the pattern is not afraid of being small, and it is also a skill to see the big from the small, and many directors have never filmed any big scenes in their lives.
Hong Kong directors can be regarded as giving investors a little confidence in the field they can, lending a little false name, and talking about business.
In terms of filming gangsters and action movies, they still have an inexhaustible old book, at an unattainable height!
The mainland market wants other people's costumes, other people's big male protagonists, and other people's fighting and martial arts, of course, it will inevitably be filmed into a Hong Kong-style community brotherhood.
Many years later, the films made by Hong Kong directors at that time were deconstructed by mainland film critics as postmodern, violent aesthetics, and expressed the confusion and restlessness of society on the eve of the handover, which the directors themselves did not expect, and they only made what they could do and which was proven acceptable by the market.
It's just a bad start in the mainland market - giving many young mainland directors a reason to hypnotize themselves, thinking that no matter how bad they are, they can't be as bad as Li Rengang, but the result is really not necessarily!
Lu Chuan did "The King's Feast"...
The degree of completion of "The King's Feast" is too low to be discussed, but one thing is certain, this is not a good historical view that conforms to the spirit of the times and deep speculation!
He looked down on the Hong Kong director's down-key singing, and the epic became the underworld's filming, but he had to maintain a framework on the pattern, and there was no certain rich storytelling and historical outlook to support it, so he changed the perspective, the shooting technique, and the editing...
Don't look at how many pounds and taels you have?
"Nanjing, Nanjing", he has such a problem - the pattern has gone up, and the historical view has failed.
Unable to face human nature, he chose to exalt human nature...
Why can't we confront human nature?
Because he didn't get to that level!
"The Devil is Coming" for so many years, why has it been insurmountable, because from Lao Jiang's perspective, I am stupid to us, you are cruel to you, I will neither fight for my ancestors, nor repent for your ancestors, just take a picture of history, it's as simple as that.
At this stage, the domestic anti-Japanese works either have the ability to grow for the ancestors, and finally came to the conclusion that the Japanese are really miserable, and it is not easy to persist for eight years, and the result is still humiliating our own ancestors, or they are doing Lu Chuan's things, repenting for others, in his perspective, this is not called unpatriotism or betrayal, but more advanced, from the perspective of the 21st century, or from the perspective of all mankind...
Can the Nanjing Massacre also be related to the perspective of all mankind?
If you were in Hollywood, you would have been banned a long time ago!
Although history is a little girl who can be dressed up, it would be a big mistake to imagine that this little girl has no strength.
History itself is powerful enough, which is greatly ignored by some directors.
"Hongmen Banquet" determines the direction of China's society in the next two thousand years...
This alone is enough to make people sweat...
In fact, if this film is renamed "My Legend of Chu and Han", there may not be so many voices of complaints...
However, the glamorous publicity is powerful, and there are really no more choices in the same schedule, released on November 29, as of December 14, 15 days, the cumulative box office is 136 million, and the first week is 73.04 million, which actually makes a lot of money...
Guang Xian is the issuer, not the investor...
Starlite International Media is the investor!
This company was also ambitious to conquer the film market, last year's "Mulan" lost a lot of eyes, and this year's "Hongmen Banquet" lost tens of millions...
In the next few years, it can only produce low-budget movies such as "9090 Wonderful Pie", "Joy Over", and "Night Breaking into the Widow's Village".
The "Magic Pen Ma Liang", "The Great Wall", and "European Raiders" that were originally prepared are all gone...
Thanks to their lack of participation in "European Raiders"...
Otherwise, you really have to look up to the sky and sigh!
……
"Super Body" will open in North America on Friday, December 16, one day later than in China.
The opponent in the same schedule is "New Year's Eve"...
Summit has negotiated with Paramount and Warner Bros., "Super Body" for a week, then "Sherlock Holmes: Shadow Game", and then "Mission Impossible 4"...
Staggered competition, after all, the overlap rate of the audience of these three movies is too high!
In the mainland, "Super Body" is the only one!
On the first day, 62 percent of the films were scheduled...
A specification that is only available in a completely blockbuster!
No movie can do without gimmicks!
Even in later generations, in an era when word-of-mouth determines how far a movie can go, it will not work without publicity!
Only by arousing national discussion and national attention is a phenomenal movie.
"Super Body" is already recognized by the industry as the most capable movie for the Chinese New Year - this year's Chinese New Year, only one "Super Body" belongs to the big investment...
And it's Zhang Junsheng's first sci-fi film!
$70 million in production costs.
Materials, marketing, topics, there is no shortage.
From the announcement of the finalization, to the trailer, and then to the crew roadshow, every step is on point!
On December 15th, "Super Body" premiered in Beijing, and Scarlett Johansson rushed over from North America.
By the way, insert a sentence, Zhang Junsheng's box office expectations for "Super Body" will exceed 1.5 billion in the mainland and more than 800 million US dollars in the global box office...
