Chapter 1296: Don't Think Too Complicated
Xu Qian came to Tokyo first.
That's what the headlines in the Japanese media about Inception are all about.
"The world's strongest director Xu Qian is coming to Japan with his Hollywood blockbuster "Inception"!"
The World's Strongest Directorγγγγγγ
The media of the island country really praised Xu Qian.
All the media in the island country put Xu Gan's name first, and his popularity in the whole of Asia is even better than that of Kobe Bryant and others.
Kobe Bryant was amazed in his heart, he was an international superstar, and he was in the spotlight everywhere he went, and this was the first time he was stolen by others.
Kate and Charlize were also shocked, Hollywood superstars were not the most popular wherever they went before, but in Asia they were also suppressed by Xu Qian's power.
At least in Asia, Xu Qian's popularity is unparalleled, and no one else can replace it.
In just a few days of publicity in Japan, the promotional images of "Inception" appeared on the screens and newspapers of the island countries and on the on-board TVs of important subways and buses in Japan.
On the squares of many island countries, people can see the "dreamland" of "Inception" when they look up, and Xu Qian's main creators also appear on the big screen.
After staying in Japan for a few days, Xu Qian came to Seoul, South Korea with the crew, oh, it shouldn't be Seoul.
Xu Qian is still the main force of propaganda.
The South Korean media praised Xu Gan: "Xu Gan, the first giant director in the universe, came to South Korea." β
The First γγγγγγγγ of the Universe
It is also thanks to the Korean media that they can write such an evaluation, and such an evaluation makes people feel very ashamed just to read it.
At a publicity meeting, a Korean media reporter once again asked about the analysis of the movie, especially about whether the actor at the end was in a dream.
Xu Qian said: "You should read Zhou Gong's interpretation of dreams." β
The reporter looked confused.
What is Zhou Gong's interpretation of dreams?
Xu Qian's nonsense topic was reported by the Korean media the next day.
"Inception was inspired by Zhou Gong's interpretation of dreams. β
"Ancient philosophies from the East make for a god-like movie. β
"This is the charm of oriental civilization. β
Forehead..........
Xu Qian didn't know what to say anymore, he was just a few rounds of nonsense, did he need to be so exaggerated?
"From the perspective of blood, Xu Qian is actually a Korean!"
Such a terrifying news actually appeared in some South Korean media reports, which really scared Xu Qian.
"Am I being Korean?"
From the analysis of Xu Gan's ancestors from generation to generation, Xu Gan's bloodline should be from the Korean nation, the most powerful nation in the universe, otherwise it would not be possible to explain why Xu Qian is so awesome?
After Xu Gan's bloodline is explained clearly, then everything makes sense, it is precisely because of the strong bloodline of the first power in the universe that Xu Qian can be so awesome.
In an interview, Xu Qian directly refuted this question, this kind of slander is not fun, although there are many Kazakh and Korean people in China, and even some are not firm in the national position, and they still have a heartfelt word, I just like this idol, it has nothing to do with the nation.
But Xu Qian was not included among these people.
"I am pure Chinese. β
Matthew couldn't understand the confidence of Koreans.
Anyway, God is Korean, Confucius is Korean, Qu Yuan is Korean, Buddha is Korean, Jade Emperor is Korean, but all world-class celebrities are Korean, even the earth ...... No, the whole universe was created by Koreans, and the universe is actually the image of a stick.
Therefore, after Xu Qian and the crew ran the last promotional announcement in South Korea, they couldn't wait to leave Seoul, oh, it shouldn't be Seoul.
Xu Qian's trip to Asia was basically a complete success.
In China, "Inception" can really be said to be self-respecting, and the whole world dare not obey.
The number of films scheduled for a movie can directly affect its box office. Of course, in addition to being artificially led, the main reason for the number of films scheduled is the market response of that movie.
"Inception" was released, and blockbusters of the same period avoided it and did not compete with it. This also indirectly increased the schedule of "Inception", but no one expected that the popularity of this film would be so powerful. The attendance rate in the first two days of the release was actually 100%.
Yes, you read that right, it's 100 percent.
It's nothing short of a miracle.
There is simply no way to resist, there is nothing in this world that can stop the enthusiasm of the audience.
100% attendance is unimaginable, and Hollywood blockbusters are hard to achieve. What's more, the number of films scheduled for "Inception" is still so high!
The production volume of "Inception" has reached almost 98 percent, which is not a way for other films to live.
With such a high number of films and such a high attendance, the box office of "Inception" naturally easily broke the box office record on the release day of China, directly killed the champion of the weekly box office list, and became the top of the weekly box office. And the box office on the second day was the same, not only did it not decrease, but it increased a lot, because the popularity of the movie directly caused many theaters to add more scenes.
In just two days, it directly reached a box office of 600 million, and its popularity seems to continue.
Domestic filmmakers are only numb, they really don't know what to say, and the total box office of other people's movies is more than the total box office of one of their films in one day???????
Many people are unbalanced, and they maliciously think, what if they can't get back such a big investment?
The domestic box office is so high, but it is not necessarily so high abroad, in fact, they think too much.
The reason why "Inception" has reached such a box office is that in addition to the large investment, there is also the box office appeal of Xu Gan Kobe, Liu Hua and others. Especially Xu Gan's box office appeal, it is definitely the only one in Huaxia, there are only two kinds of directors in Huaxia, one is called Xu Qian's director, and the other is not called Xu Qian's director.
However, the continued popularity is obviously impossible on these alone.
Of course, there is also the quality of the film itself, which is the benefit of the simultaneous release of the world, and the word of mouth can be shared all over the world.
The film schedule is so high. It can continue to be popular. That is naturally inseparable from the overwhelming high reputation after the release. Douban's score directly overshadowed all previous science fiction movies, becoming a well-deserved science fiction movie with the highest rating.
The Douban score of a science fiction movie can reach 9.2, if you say it before, do you dare to believe it?
Movies like this kind of commercial production, big investment, and big special effects are not favored by some literary and young film critics, they pay more attention to the kind of niche literary films, but the score of "Inception" has reached 9.2, it's so terrifying, this is hard power, you really can't accept it.
Of course, a film can't be all praise. There are even some well-known literary and young film critics who criticize "Inception".
They say that this movie is simply a trick, "Inception" is a vulgar story, not as divine as it is blown, people who like Xu Qian are not high-quality people, and Chinese still have to pursue art.
"Very disappointed. The film's creative conception and special effects scenes are far from shocking, the narrative is a bit self-defeating, the story development relies on large sections of dialogue, the emotional drama that is not painful or itchy, and the extremely clumsy acting skills of the protagonist make this film inevitably a mediocre work. β
"But in any case, it's like an essay written by a fanatic middle school student, and that's called a far-fetched one. β
"It's pretentious, it's pretentious, it's such a movie. β
"Movies like this are really rubbish. β
However, it has drowned in the saliva of fans, and many people have long been impatient with these film critics.
"The art of chasing you, do you have to kill Chinese movies before you are willing?"
"Is it a local literary film?"
"Some of them aren't art films at all, they just add a little dialect, so what's the art film?"
The audience is actually fed up with Wenqing film critics, because these people don't know what art is, you say that if it's a movie like "Farewell My Concubine", it's okay, but they blow some movies into the sky, such as "The Last Day on Earth".
This film also allowed the so-called "literary film" to unveil the emperor's new clothes.
This is actually a garbage that can't be garbage anymore, and the plot is obscure and has a niche literary film with dialects, but it is all packaged as a romantic love sci-fi film in the city.
is such a movie, and it is also nominated for Best Director and Best Picture at the Golden Horse Awards, which is probably going to make people laugh off their teeth.
This kind of literary film represents the future of Chinese films? Should Chinese filmmakers make such films to resist Hollywood's offensive? I'm afraid it won't make people laugh off their teeth.
Wenqing film critics think they can represent movies, but in fact they are just a small group of people, who have been separated from the real movie fans for a long, long time, how can the movies supported by such people compete with Hollywood?
True art can only blossom and bear fruit if it is rooted in the people.
Only by insisting on art coming from the people to the masses of the people is the most correct path, and blindly feeling good about oneself and blindly being high and low is not art.
Movies are art and commodities, the box office has always been the lifeline of a film, Hollywood's first-line celebrities are all box office superstars, and the Oscar winners who can't afford the box office are only the second and third lines, and Nicolas Cage in another world is the best example.
The dignified Oscar winner went to Asia to make money, do you think he is willing? Isn't there no way?
Some people talk about art, and all they think about is money.
Some filmmakers have never been so honest that they regard money as dung and art as life, but simply because they only shoot this kind of obscure self-creation in order to seek fame and fortune, and they simply do not have the ability to truly please the audience and make everyone willing to pay for it.
For these people, the audience is very disgusted.
There is a director who is very dissatisfied with Xu Qian, and this director is the famous art film director Wang Sunglasses.
Wang Sunneck is a Hong Kong film director, producer and screenwriter.
Wang Sunglasses is very powerful, his personal style is very strong, and the color of the movie is also very unique, his movies always make people have a strange feeling.
His films have won several Cannes Awards, and he has also made several classic films.
"Director Wang's film is a unique, or nihilistic, world, although the setting of space is different according to the different eras of the film, but the world he describes is always the same. β
"Director Wang is a very serious filmmaker, he was born for movies, he is making movies with his life, there are few directors like him, in the environment of such rapid development of the domestic film industry, his pursuit of movies must be to achieve the ultimate, he will not leave regrets for actors. β
This is what others say about him.
He is very serious about making movies, but this is not a good thing for investors, and there is a movie in which he almost made investors lose money.
And in recent years, his movies have also begun to "go crazy", that "Dirty Ferry" can simply pollute people's eyes, a super bad movie, I can't bear to look at it directly, no matter how much the critics tout, they can't hide the fact that it is a big bad movie.
I heard that the script of "Dirty Ferry" has been changed 118 drafts before and after.
Every line, every old song, every exaggerated plot, and impetuous burden are all planned by scheming to try to cater to every melon-eating masses.
But in the end, it was just a smile and a generous smile.
Wang Sunglasses' new film "Little Lamb" has the same schedule as "Inception", and the schedule of "Inception" is almost 100%, so it is very embarrassing.
Wang Sunglasses called on the theater chain to give the audience the right to choose, which is understandable, because there are too few films, many small cities or small theaters will not be on "Little Sheep" at all, and for audiences who really want to watch this movie, there is no way to watch it;
Therefore, many netizens raised objections to Director Wang's call:
"I'm sorry, but that's what the audience chooses. β
"It is enough to be reasonable, there is a domestic protection month. β
"Director Wang is a good director, but the theme, style, and cast of this movie will hit the street even if it is protected at the box office of domestic films. β
The reason why the movie "Little Lamb" did not change its file to avoid the edge of "Inception" like other movies is that it changed the scope of release: the scope of the release was changed from "nationwide" to "cinema designated by the Art Federation and the filmmaker".
A few days ago, Director Wang talked about this issue at the premiere of "Little Lamb", Director Wang said: "We set this schedule first, and when we set "Inception", it has not yet been decided...... In the current market, the market space for art films is limited, and we have worked so hard to finally have a special line for the art association, if we withdraw by ourselves, it is basically equivalent to giving up on ourselves. β
was originally set as planned, but I didn't expect to kill a "Inception" with countless fans, other movies have changed files during the same period, and "Little Sheep" has nowhere else to go, plus it was taken care of by the art association line, if you retreat, the loss will be even greater.
Director Wang said that the two movies are not in conflict, you can watch both, this era needs commercial films, but more needs art.
Director Wang: "From the producer's point of view, we are very confident in this movie, this is a good movie. It's not easy to read, but in this day and age, this movie is valuable. In addition, from the perspective of the industry, we set this schedule first, and when we set the time "Inception" has not yet been decided, when we are set, the other dramas are gone, of course, we can go, but where to go? In the current market, the market space for art films is limited, and we have worked so hard to finally have an art line, if we withdraw by ourselves, it is basically equivalent to giving up on ourselves. β
Xu Qian just responded lightly: "The film market is indeed very cruel, but it is also very simple, now the mainland audience, it is not simple, good-looking, everyone goes to see it, it is not good-looking, no matter who you are, what big actors, big directors, big productions, don't watch it, no one will give face, it is very realistic and cruel, but I think it's that simple, in fact, the audience is so simple, don't think about them too complicated." β
