Chapter 1063: Bursts of Scolding
Huang Xiaofeng saw Mingjing's contemplative appearance, and then stared at Mingjing's eyes again, and said slowly word by word: "The name of the director of this movie is written by your Mingjing's name!"
Maybe it was because Huang Xiaofeng's words were a little louder, and several other people in the room heard this, and everyone looked up at Huang Xiaofeng and Mingjing.
These people are all brought out by Mingjing at the beginning, and they not only have Mingjing's trust, but also know the inside story very well.
"Although I don't know how well it will turn out at tonight's premiere, I'm always weird, anyway, if fans don't feel good, then the first person to scold is the director of this movie!"
The person who spoke was the photographer of this movie, he had worked with Mingjing for many years and had a deep friendship, but he was not as simple as Mingjing and thought of the entertainment industry so simply.
"That is, if it weren't for Xiao Bufan's guy who was always self-righteous and changed the script beyond recognition, we wouldn't be so worried. ”
Another person who served as Mingjing's assistant said angrily that he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Bufan's always changing the script and the filming process without authorization.
Whether it was Huang Xiaofeng's words or the words of several other friends, Mingjing couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.
His thinking has always been simple, in his world, there will always be only one thing, that is, the camera lens, otherwise he would not easily sign a contract with Xiao Bufan's film company back then, just because the other party said that he would no longer worry about the shooting funds, he signed a contract with the other party.
The first year or two was fine, he could immerse himself in his own films, but as Xiao Bufan's fame grew, he felt more and more uncomfortable when he started making movies featuring Xiao Bufan.
Revise the script, adjust the shooting date, and cut the lines......
Everything is Xiao Bufan's final say.
Mingjing felt very depressed, and today's premiere of "The Legend of the Snow Fox in Liaozhai" made his inner contradiction reach the extreme.
"Wait and see, wait and see. Mingjing said indecisively, and then took a big sip of a glass of stuffy wine.
Everyone expected his reaction, maybe Mingjing has outstanding talent in movies, but his character in reality is too honest, but it is precisely because of his character that several people here are willing to believe him and follow him all the time.
Hearing Mingjing's words, Huang Xiaofeng sighed faintly and didn't say anything more.
It's just that none of them know that by the next day, the focus of all public opinion was put on infinitely at once, and the most important thing was that Mingjing, as the director, was the first to bear the brunt, and basically all the guns were aimed at him.
"In addition to the title, can anyone tell me what is the connection between "The Legend of the Snow Fox in Liaozhai" and "Liaozhai"?"
The next day, Mr. Meng Su was the first to fire in the exclusive comments of the media special page!
"Aside from the delicacy of the picture, the whole play is left with a bunch of apparently polished Shakespearean dialogues, every sentence seems to be full of philosophy, and at the same time dry and tasteless. One word: stupid! Four words: make a fool of yourself! You might as well shorten it to "Shabi dialogue". There is no climax, there is no emotion (there is only the creator himself), there is finally a little entertainment, in the second half, something like "You ruined my chance to be a good person" made the audience laugh, and every sentence was more funny than the other, and the theater was filled with pleasant air in an instant. ”
"From a creative point of view, "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liao Zhai" has worked very hard and put a lot of thought into the character setting, but it is far from achieving the ideal effect; from the perspective of production, "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liao Zhai" has pursued and innovated, but too many obvious failures have lowered the grade of the film, so it is better to concentrate manpower and material resources to do a good job in several places; From the perspective of actors, the actors of "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liao Zhai" are very dedicated, especially Jin Zhongmin, Hongyi Guangzhi worked the Chinese lines of the two Japanese and North Korean stars, but under the "dramatic" style of this film, all the actors showed a certain degree of hysteria. ”……
- Bang!
Xiao Bufan was in his villa, got up early in the morning, full of anticipation to see Master Meng Su's comments in the newspaper, his face suddenly turned pale, and he slapped the table hard.
"Does this old immortal like Yang Ming's kid so much?
Full of anger, he blamed all the blame on the rumors that he had heard that Yang Ming was the most valued new generation director by the old man Meng Su.
Otherwise, how can you explain that Meng Su, an old man, made such a sharp and mean comment in the newspaper about his movie that he had spent countless efforts on?
Obviously, this old man's ass is crooked, and he has lost his former fairness.
Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Bufan's mouth showed a sneer, last night he and Bai Chongshi, He Xinghan and others counted the box office data, and there was no doubt about the box office success of "The Legend of the Snow Fox in Liaozhai".
In this situation, Meng Su vigorously criticized "The Legend of the Snow Fox" in the newspapers, and completely lost the credibility and image that he had built up for many years.
However, when Xiao Bufan opened the following newspaper's news review of "The Legend of the Snow Fox" last night, his whole face became extremely dark.
"I have a very low opinion of "The Legend of the Snow Fox", which premiered at the National Centre for the Performing Arts last night. First of all, the whole story of the film is very chaotic, the director doesn't know what story to tell the audience, the performance tension of the movie is empty and weak, the character building is superficial and thin, the theme of the movie is scattered and boring, and the whole film is the director's complacent and self-righteous personal skills. ”
Secondly, the beautiful pictures accumulated in the film are not necessarily related to the content of the film, that is, the relationship between water and oil, which can only play a feeling of adding to the painting, just like a dilapidated house, but whitewashed with high-end decoration materials, it is a pity that the scenery is so good. ”
Third, the film uses a lot of high-tech means, but it shows the clumsiness of the film, and the luxurious lineup does not change the essence of the film's low-level flavor in the slightest, just like an immature elementary school student writing an essay, in order to cover up the shortcomings of the work itself with flowery words. The obvious feeling of this film is that it uses high technology to disguise the tedium of the content. It's very bad to use fancy cinematic language to fool the audience. In short, this is a film with very poor artistry and unsuccessful commercial hype. The whole movie feels like a demonstration of the director's personal narcissism, narcissism's own directorial skill, and narcissism's proficiency in using the art of film language. ”.
The person who wrote this film review is called Zhou Qingyun, and like Meng Su, he is a respected predecessor in the film criticism industry.
Zhou Qingyun, together with Meng Su, is known as the Northern Meng Southern Zhou, which shows his influence in the film critic world.
This is also why the second film review Xiao Bufan watched was the review written by Zhou Qingyun.
Because he has enough influence.
"The Legend of the Snow Fox in Liaozhai": The pinnacle of Chinese-style garbage movies. ”
"This is my feather. - Whenever I think of this line, I always want to laugh, is this a comedy movie?"
"Exaggerated, out of control, in short, this is a movie that makes people laugh and cry!".
Several film reviews from media and newspapers instantly knocked Xiao Bufan's mood to the dust, and it couldn't be worse, and his face was extremely gloomy.
Of course, it is not that there are no newspapers that praise and praise good things.
But this was all ignored by him.
Because these media are simply controlled by the Xiao family, someone has already arranged to say hello, how can he say bad things about the little boss? He is developing in the entertainment industry, in addition to fame, what he wants most is recognition!
And compliments!
Otherwise, Xiao Bufan would not have spent a huge amount of money to make the number of fans on his neck the number one popular king in China.
Why? Because he likes the feeling of being surrounded by applause.
But now the film reviews in the newspaper in front of him have completely shattered his illusions.
"Could it be that last night's premiere of 50 million box office was fake? Are these guys blind? Are these guys just not waiting to see me?"
Xiao Bufan said to himself with an unkind face.
Last night, when he waited for the premiere box office data reported by the people below, the whole person almost jumped in surprise, maybe this box office data can't be compared with that demon, but for the rest of the film industry, it is already an unattainable data.
Success is in sight, victory is in hand......
But now the film reviews with extreme contrasts have suddenly broken Xiao Bufan's inner dream, making it difficult for him to accept, what is true and what is false?
He flipped through the newspaper again, and then immediately went online to read the news of several major portals, as well as the comments on Time.com, which was the focus of his attention, but the more he looked, the darker his face became!
However, the only thing that reassures him is that whether it is in the newspaper or on the Internet, the focus of the scolding is the director of the movie, Mingjing, not the starring role of Xiao Bufan.
It also made his heart breathe a sigh of relief.
At least things haven't gotten to the worst yet.
In a community room in Yanjing, Mingjing looked at the newspaper that had just been delivered with blank eyes, and there was a notebook on the table, and the page that opened on it was Time.com.
At this time, there was the sound of the key opening the door, and Huang Xiaofeng walked in, and when she saw Mingjing's lost soul, her face was full of worry.
But she didn't say anything, but gently sat down next to Mingjing and waited for him to come to his senses.
After a long time, Mingjing exhaled heavily, looked ahead, and said slowly: "Xiaofeng, you're right, it's time for me to consider a different environment." ”
For the director, the movie is the equivalent of his own child.
No director wants to watch the children he gives birth to, but he is raised by others and instilled with thoughts and everything that does not belong to him.
He's honest, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.
With his understanding of Xiao Bufan, all the responsibilities and infamy at that time must be borne by him, the director.
Burdened with infamy, he doesn't care.
But he didn't want to continue, shooting movies that didn't belong to him, the plot and lines were arbitrarily deleted, and his intentions and ideas were ruthlessly trampled, so he chose to leave.
Oriental DreamWorks.
"Boss, you're finally here, I'm ready to call the police. ”
As soon as Liu Xinsheng walked into the company, he found that something was wrong, and then under the reminder of others, he immediately knew that Yang Ming was coming, so he pushed open the door of Yang Ming's office with a happy face and complained loudly.
Today is the premiere of "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms", and Yang Ming, the most important person, still has no news of coming back yesterday, how can Liu Xinsheng not be anxious.
As for his idea of calling the police, he really didn't say it for fun, he was really prepared that in case Yang Ming didn't show up at noon, he really wanted to call the police.
"Hehe, how can it be so serious, didn't I come?" Yang Ming said with a smile as he looked at Liu Xinsheng who pushed the door in.
"How is it?, has the movie between the two of you been finished?" asked Liu Xinsheng with concern.
"Well, it's about half a month. Yang Ming thought for a while and gave the answer.
Liu Xinsheng nodded when he heard this, now Yang Ming is the signboard of Oriental DreamWorks, and each of his movies is now the focus of everyone's attention, his eyes saw the newspaper on Yang Ming's desk, and suddenly thought of something, so he said with a gloating smile: "Have you read today's news?
"The Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" has long been scheduled to be released in the summer, for this blockbuster that gathers many actors, and it is written, directed and acted by Yang Ming, no local film company dares to try the edge, and there may be Hollywood blockbusters that will affect the box office results of "The Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".
But because of the copyright lawsuit, Dimei was directly blocked by the Huaxia Cultural Department, and the movie scheduled to be released in the summer will be delayed for at least a month, and the daylily will be cold by then.
Later, a "Legend of the Snow Fox of Liaozhai" suddenly appeared, especially the other party's desperate propaganda posture, which naturally made Liu Xinsheng very unhappy, and now he is very happy to see his competitors being criticized by the media.
When Yang Ming heard Liu Xinsheng's words, he smiled and said, "It is estimated that from tomorrow, the box office performance of this movie will be enough." ”
To be honest, although he didn't watch Xiao Bufan's "Liao Zhai", he watched so many negative media comments this morning, and he roughly had an impression of this movie in his mind.
This reminded him of the "Wuji" in his previous life.
Especially the lines of the thunderous people, which make people cry and laugh.
Perhaps after 2010, the film may have gained some fan support, but it was undoubtedly met with more ridicule and ridicule at the time.
even detonated the popularity of a video - "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun".
The negative reviews of "The Legend of the Snow Fox in Liaozhai" seem to be not much different from "Wuji", so Yang Ming can almost guess a little bit about the next box office trend.
He didn't think too much about his opponent, and then asked Liu Xinsheng: "The auditorium is ready!"
"Well, you can rest assured, the company has sent people to watch the preparations on the spot, and the guests you are going to invite, except for a few people who are not available, they are basically here!" Liu Xinsheng said seriously.
"Then I'm relieved. Yang Ming said.
The premiere of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" was held in the National Auditorium, not abroad, and he was not prepared to go abroad this time to promote the movie, and he didn't see those big stars in Hollywood come to China to promote it in his previous life?
Anyway, when the time comes, record some videos, say some kind words in English, and put them on the Internet abroad, and it's almost enough.
For the foreign film market, you can't blindly get used to it.
Of course, without the support of the terrifying Greater China China Regional Film Market in this world, Yang Ming would not have the confidence to say such things.
