Chapter 788: Profiteering Industry
There have been many gangster movies in China, but most of them are police and gangster films, and there are few works like "The True Color of Heroes" that blur the boundaries between police and gangsters.
This involves a question of principles and bottom lines, as well as the image of national police officers, so many directors will not touch this sensitive thing, and no one wants to feel uncomfortable.
But Guo Dalu has the courage to do this, and he has passed the audit, so there is nothing deliberately difficult at all.
In fact, when this movie was broadcast, after watching it, many filmmakers were not only amazed, but also had endless admiration for Guo Dalu, "Even dare to do such a story? Guo Dalu really deserves to be Guo Dalu, this guy has always been running wild on the road to death!"
But Guo Dalu can do this, but these directors in the circle dare not do it.
Guo Dalu has money, if a movie can't be broadcast, the big deal is that it will be invalid, and people will lose money, but other directors don't dare to take this risk.
In case of a ban on the release, it will be a loss of tens of millions or tens of millions, and no one can afford it, so when a movie is made, it is extremely cautious, unlike Guo Dalu, who says that he will shoot it, and if he wants an actor, he will be an actor, and everything he does is hot and hot, and the efficiency is scary.
Just this point, everyone can't learn it.
Sometimes having a lot of money is also a very important prerequisite for making a movie.
Although the cultures of the East and the West are different, the feelings of human beings are common, and the aesthetic taste will not be too different. The wonderful gunfight scenes in this movie, appropriately dubbed with music, have been shown in smooth and natural slow motion, all of which show the level of Guo Dalu, a masterful character, playing with the camera.
For the storyline of this movie, in fact, not everyone likes foreigners, but in this movie, the interpretation of the gunfight and the contrast of the shooting scene are something they have never seen, and the treatment of the gunfight scene in this movie has reached the level of an artist. It feels like the splattering bullet casings and the jetting tongues of fire have something emotional about them, as if the camera gives them life when they burst.
Foreign countries are already a country where personal heroism is rampant, and this movie is so passionate and passionate, it really infects many foreign young people.
In the movie, the pony's trench coat and sunglasses, and the action of holding a toothpick, have become things that these young people imitate.
However, there are also many people who don't like this movie, and the well-known foreign film critic Cheritt published a special film review to express her disgust with this movie:
"The bloody scenes, the ridiculous brotherhood, and the dazzling gunfight scenes make up such an absurd film. Director Guo Dalu, the emotions revealed in this movie are very wrong, he seems to have a kind of pity and sympathy for the underworld, because after the end of this movie, we will find that the director told this story from the standpoint of the underworld. ”
In this play, Guo Dalu has a deliberate beautification of these gangster characters, which is a very surprising position, as a director, he has a sympathetic psychology for the gangster characters, which is very incomprehensible. In fact, if we carefully comb through the plot of this story, we will find that this is just a story of two gangs of underworld conflicts because of personal grudges. ”
"Song Zihao and Xiaoma in it, these two people are the gang bosses of counterfeit money, and they are also two bloody executioners, look at it, look at it, look at it, after watching this movie, how many people did the two of them kill? Isn't it a matter of course that such a person died in a gang vendetta? What is there to sympathize with? Because he is the protagonist, do we need to sympathize with them? What kind of logic is this? The protagonist of a murderer, no matter how many scenes, is also a murderer! This drama directed by Guo Dalu has a personal position that is difficult to accept. Personally, I firmly oppose this tendency to have sympathy for the underworld!"
Sherriet's film review is also a criticism of many people for "The True Color of Heroes", this movie, the story is a good story, but the director's personal position and emotions are a bit problematic, Guo Dalu is a little deliberately in the film, there is something called sympathy for gangster characters, which is very inconsistent with the values of normal society.
However, because this sentiment of pity is not very obvious, and the movie is really well shot, no one makes a big fuss about it.
But what these people don't know is that today's Guo Dalu is the ancestor of the gangsters in the whole world, and if the films he makes are not a little tendentious, it will be strange.
The butt determines the head, even if Guo Dalu is a self-proclaimed upright guy, but in his current position, he has to consider the feelings of his brothers.
Therefore, the tendencies of this drama must be unavoidable, otherwise he would not have let Ma Yunda participate in the filming of this movie.
However, for this movie, the voices of criticism are a minority after all, and the vast majority of them are positive evaluations, the setting of the storyline, the conflicts of the characters, and the intersection of the trajectories of their respective destinies are all skillfully blended together.
This unique heroic hymn, as well as the pride that other movies do not have, makes this movie have an extremely unique charm, especially the cynicism at the beginning of Little Pony to the passionate roar at the end, the progression of this emotion can drive the audience's emotions even more.
So the box office of this movie is unexpectedly very popular, although it is not a winter and summer vacation, nor is it a prime time, but this does not affect the box office of this movie.
By the end of the month, by the time the film was finished, the box office in China had reached 5.9 billion yuan, and the total box office abroad had reached 600 million US dollars.
The box office of this movie, plus peripheral products, has exceeded 10 billion, marking the emergence of another 10 billion box office movie of Guo Dalu.
And the total investment of this movie is only more than 30 million, which is not a big investment for Guo Dalu today, an investment of 30 million is no longer a big investment, this time there can be such a hot box office, except for Guo Dalu, the rest of the people are a little unbelievable, but they take it for granted.
Movies and television, once there is a connection with Guo Dalu, then no matter what happens, it can't be regarded as an accident.
"Xiaoma, Lao Du, and Zhang Ran, this is a red envelope for you. ”
After the movie was drawn, Chen Ruihu specially came forward to distribute red envelopes to the actors in the movie, this movie at least earned more than 2 billion for the company, and Guo Dalu paid these actors so little, this time he must give them a little to make up for it.
For example, Ma Yunda and Du Yuncheng, each of them gave 10 million red envelopes this time, which can be regarded as the company's encouragement to them.
In fact, Ma Yunda and Zhang Ran are not very looking forward to this red envelope, but Du Yuncheng is different, the gym he opened can't earn 300,000 yuan a year, but now that a movie is acted, the salary has been 2 million, and now the red envelope has taken another 10 million. This income in just half a year is higher than the income of half his life.
"Guo Ye, is it so profitable to make movies now?"
When Du Yuncheng received the red envelope and saw the amount specially marked on the bank card, his body trembled a little, and he said to Guo Dalu beside him: "This movie is higher than the annual profit of a large company!"
ps: The number of recommended votes for the new book is scary, I don't know if you have gone to collect and watch it?
The book of cannons is almost finished, but it can't be finished all at once, there are thousands of things, and it has to be closed slowly, and it's not over in three or two chapters. However, I would like to ask you to support the new book "Martial Arts World Heroes".
However, some readers said that "My 80s" is also well written, and I think it is good, but the data is very poor, and it should be regarded as a work that has failed in transformation. If you are interested, you can take a look, and it is best to give feedback to the book review area of this book and tell us how you feel.
I'm always worried that my reading pleasure is not on the same frequency as everyone's coolness, otherwise, I damn it, it would be sad.
