Chapter 338: Released
"Outside the nickname, Director An's new film "Journey to the West"!"
When the news appeared online, it quickly caused a commotion.
High yield!
It started in October last year and is now in April.
What the hell are three films in just six months?
Of course, October is the day when "Best Partner" will be released, and if you push it forward, it will probably start in July.
That is to say, three films in nine months.
What the hell is this?
Is a film every three months on average?
In fact, it's not too surprising to have a film in three months, but the key to the problem is that these three films are all the same director and screenwriter.
Some actors even make ten movies a year, which is definitely very tiring.
But this kind of actor who makes ten movies a year is far less tired than a director who makes three movies a year.
Because there are too many things for the director to do, and the actor only needs to finish filming his own scenes, even if it is the protagonist.
But these surprising things were just talked about by the general public, and then they set their eyes on this new film.
"Journey to the West"!
It can be seen from the title of the film that this film is based on Journey to the West, and as early as the beginning of this year, some people said that Director An seemed to have taken over the task of Journey to the West, which means that Director An should be filming something related to Journey to the West.
There were a lot of riots on the Internet at that time.
Because if you want to talk about the understanding of Journey to the West, probably Mr. Hu knows the best, although there are many people who scolded him in "Journey to the West", but there are also supporters, and the plot in his film is almost copied from the original book, and the special effects of the characters are exactly the same as those described in the original book.
Therefore, it was rumored on the Internet that after Chen Ange took over the task of adapting "Journey to the West", someone stood up and said that it was nonsense.
Among them, Mr. Hu's fan naturally mentioned Mr. Hu's "Journey to the West" TV series.
But at the same time, there are also fans of Chen Ange who stood up.
You must know that Mr. Hu is not the only one in this world who has filmed "Journey to the West".
Chen Ange has a "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" and a "Journey to the West" cartoon, although it is a cartoon, but this animation can now be hung on the wall of the Beiping Animation Headquarters.
Do you, Mr. Hu, have any honors for a "Journey to the West" TV series?
Of course, after all, a cartoon and a TV series have different dimensions, and no one can convince anyone in comparison.
"This film is also a comedy compared to it!"
"Maybe it's similar to the previous "East Becomes West"!"
"Is it okay for "Journey to the West" to be changed so randomly?"
""Journey to the West" is one of the three major works, and it must not be adapted indiscriminately!"
", don't you adapt it randomly? Isn't it just a book? You say you can't adapt it randomly? Can some of these things be put on the screen?"
"History changes, culture will naturally change, there must be a lot of good things in the past, but we need to change them to suit the current people, and then take them out. ”
"Hey, in fact, what I want to see most is the completely unchanged "Golden Vase Plum" "
"I'm rubbing, what my brother said is very true, and I have a hard time!"
“+1!”
……
"Guiding ......"
Huang Qianming was dumbfounded, he was really dumbfounded.
Two hundred minutes!
No more, no less!
What is the concept of 200 minutes in a movie?
Isn't that?
Nowadays, in the entire film industry, the length of a movie of 90 minutes is the best, and a little longer than 120 minutes is almost the sky, and more than 120 minutes of films are definitely very rare.
But now, "Journey to the West" has been cut for 200 minutes, a full 200 minutes!
It's no joke, who's going to sit in a theater for three hours and twenty minutes?
"Director An, I think we should release it separately! In this way, we can sell an extra movie for money!"
Chen Ange shook his head: "If you want to sell one more movie, this movie will be doubled!"
Although it can be cut into two, Chen Ange just feels uncomfortable, and if it is cut into two, there will definitely be people who can only see the first part.
Because there is an interval between screenings on the set, besides, you can't let people who watched the first part buy tickets for the second part immediately, and some people are likely to watch the first part and don't want to watch the second part, although they may be able to watch the second part again through online word-of-mouth, but for Chen Ange, it is no longer necessary, because he doesn't need those reputations anymore.
What he wants to do now is just hope to show the big ticket of good things in his mind to all fans.
"High pricing, a long time, so there will definitely be a lot fewer people to buy tickets!"
"It's okay, don't worry!"
Word-of-mouth tactics never go out of style.
Seeing that Chen Ange is so confident, Huang Qianming can't say anything, after all, in terms of movies, he can only be regarded as Chen Ange's student now, and Chen Ange must have his reasons for doing this. "Over there!"
Chen Ange said: "One film takes up the time of two films, it's okay to give less!"
"Gotta do it!"
……
The outlier of "Journey to the West" is indeed a headache for the heads of major theaters.
Two hundred minutes!
Who dares to release a film like Nima, and the most important thing is how much share to give when it is released?
If this film is someone else's, the person in charge of the major theater chains will definitely order to go back and change it, shortening the film to less than 120 minutes.
But......
The film is directed by An.
Since this An Dao debuted, he has been an outlier, and the major theaters know that when they hear that An Dao has a new film released, their eyes will immediately light up, because as long as it is An Dao's film, they know that there must be a lot of money coming to the door.
But this time, everyone was a little embarrassed.
First, should they persuade Director An to cut the film again.
Second, how much share to give.
Hit back completely?
Who dares!
To be honest, even if this film is very long, and it may even be not very good at the box office because the market is too long and the pricing is too high, how can the theater chain lose money, it's just that everyone feels that it is less profitable.
It's just that......
Who is Andao?
Now in this film and television industry, Director An's films are the benchmark in the box office industry, are you not convinced?
……
"Outside the nickname, Director An's new film "Journey to the West" is set for May Day!"
The appearance of this news immediately made the fans who were waiting and watching shout.
may be the foil of the current depression in the film industry, so that Chen Ange's new film has become more and more prominent, and even gives people the feeling that many movie fans generally do not enter the cinema, just waiting for the news of Chen Ange's new film to come out, and then all of them will be dispatched, like those tens of millions of troops, to the throne.
In such a situation, how can other directors not see it, but they can only be envious and jealous.
"Breaking a small news, this "Journey to the West" film is different from other films, of course, I only say one different point, that is, it is very long, more than three hours long!"
In fact, everyone didn't pay attention to the revelations from the black box at first.
But I don't know how to be pushed to the front page, and the thing that lasted more than three hours immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
"More than three hours? I'll go, really?"
"An Dao is not a newcomer, how can he do this kind of thing to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot?"
"That's right, only those low-end directors would come up with such things that exceed or fall short!"
"Nima, more than three hours, what's going on in the film?"
"There are so many things in "Journey to the West", let alone three hours, you can't finish filming in thirty hours!"
"Nonsense, this is a movie, how can you make three hours when you know it's a movie? I don't believe it!"
"Actually, I've always been curious why most of the films in the cinema are about 100 minutes long, especially our domestic films, which seem to be in this range!"
"Nonsense, this is the experience sorted out by those ancestors in the film and television industry. ”
"Think for yourself, if you were asked to sit in the theater for three hours, would you be able to stand it?"
"I think if the film is good, let alone three hours, I can watch it for ten hours, after all, it's not that I can't go to the toilet, of course, it would be nice if I could eat, after all, I am also a person who has watched a TV series in a day and a night!"
"Haha, speaking of crazy dramas, who has me, after "Dragon Babu" was downloaded, I prepared a snack gift package, the sky was bright in the first episode, and when I raised my eyes again to look out the window, it was dark, and when I raised my head again to look out the window, it was bright again. ”
Soon, the discussion point of the post was skewed from a three-hour movie to a crazy cooker.
You talk about your crazy drama history, he said that he couldn't open his eyes and was even hungry and couldn't get out of bed.
People are such strange animals.
But Chen Ange still thinks that this group of people is actually idle eggs, otherwise why would there be such a self-explosion of crazy dramas, saying that it is self-detonation, but it is actually a competition.
It's just that you have to discuss whether it's cold in the south or cold in the north on the Internet, and even involve magic damage and physical damage.
It's already the temperature that can freeze people's skin and flesh, and even freeze people to death, what is the use of physical damage and magic damage.
……
"Have you been busy lately?"
"Okay, what's wrong?"
Because "Journey to the West" was filmed in Zhenbeibao, Chen Ange didn't go home for two months, and because of the temporary addition of "Crazy Stone" and the previous "Best Partner", Chen Ange hasn't had family activities with White Lotus for a while.
"I bought two movie tickets, let's go check them out!"
Chen Ange took out the ticket for "Journey to the West".
White Lotus was stunned, and the corners of her mouth turned up: "Okay!"
Money can't be made, people, after all, it takes some time to move.
Although Chen Ange is a director, he seems to have never gone to a movie with the White Lotus.
Of course, the date between the two seems to be traced back to which one of Dalaise's belongs.
And now, the two have just reached the seven-year itch.
Although the relationship between the two is still so good, it seems that from the beginning, the two did not have it.
Of course, it may also be the identities of the two from the beginning that created the current situation.
Then Chen Ange turned into a member of the Chen family in the South China Sea, and it is not unreasonable to say that he is a collection of thousands of favors.
Especially after White Lotus learned the identities of those aunts of the Chen family, she obviously had a lot more on her mind and seemed to be working harder.
Chen Ange naturally saw these changes clearly.
Of course, in fact, Chen Ange himself should be a very traditional person, he likes that kind of life of respect, and a little bit of interest in life is used as a regulator, just like Chen Ange and the White Lotus now.
The relationship between the two is very good, and it is common for them to give each other some gifts on holidays or birthdays and wedding anniversaries.
However, this is just Chen Ange on the surface!
Or rather, this is just a side of Chen Ange.
It is said that people have two sides.
Chen Ange himself does have two sides, on the one hand, he is full of bookish life attitude, he does not worry about eating and drinking, and he has a good wife.
But on the other hand, Chen Ange should be regarded as a more sullen pervert.
It's just that this pervert also needs another pervert to guide it, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to hold it all the time.
For example, the White Lotus.
But White Lotus is also the same as Chen Ange, except for being a little fierce, the rest of her life is simply a moral model wife.
"I heard that your new film is a bit long this time?"
"Well, the duration of the two films has been put together!"
"Why don't you cut it open?"
"It's supposed to be a complete story, but it doesn't feel very good after cutting it!"
There are already a lot of people gathered in the cinema, and most of the people sitting on the sofa at the entrance of the cinema hall and the restaurant next to it are young men and women, after all, the consumption of the cinema is still dominated by young men and women.
Chen Ange and White Lotus also waited again.
Although she has been married for so many years, time has not left much memory on the White Lotus.
Now that he thinks about it, he can still remember the picture of seeing the white lotus when he opened his eyes.
Of course, if you really want to talk about change, it is probably a change in temperament.
The current White Lotus looks more luxurious than before, and her whole body is full of the aura that a mature woman should have.
His hair was simply tied up, and around his neck was a necklace of the Lotus and Song brand, a short shirt on the top, and cropped jeans on the bottom.
She was tall herself, and now she has high heels, cropped denim, and a short shirt that makes her legs look longer.
White Lotus took a sip of juice and said, "My aunt asked you to shoot Journey to the West, you won't just fool around with "Journey to the West"!"
Chen Ange shook his head: "Of course not, this is just a pioneer, as for the TV series of "Journey to the West", I still need time now!"
"Sure?"
"Of course, it's a small thing for me!"
The White Lotus sighed.
It was at this time that the ticket inspection began.
Chen Ange hurriedly pulled the white lotus and walked over there.
Pulled by Chen Ange, White Lotus was stunned.
The theater was almost full, so everyone consciously sat on their ticket numbers.
Chen Ange bought the ticket very far back, and after sitting down, Chen Ange let go of the white lotus's hand.
"Here we go!"
