readx;? At 6 o'clock in the evening of the 15th of the month, there were a sea of people outside the auditorium of the Peking Political Consultative Conference, and countless fans were waiting on both sides of the carpet with flowers and posters in their hands. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On both sides of the 50-meter red carpet, in addition to fans and journalists, there were also a hundred soldiers in silver armor lined up to welcome them. The dry branches of the scene were tied with fake begonia flowers, and there were flashing lights. A large white balloon rises in mid-air, like a full moon.

Chen Kaige has been preparing for "Wuji" for three years, and his goal is to surpass Zhang Yimou's "Hero", and he has worked hard in publicity. In the past month, press on the TV, open the magazine, open the newspaper, and appear on the Internet, the husband and wife team of Chen Kaige and Chen Hong, the director and producer, can be seen everywhere.

From Beiping, Modu, to Rongcheng and Hangzhou, I saw the couple non-stop and rushing around all the way. They have done enough articles around this film, and they have not missed almost all the business opportunities and areas that can be developed: documentaries, novels, musical and dance dramas, online games...... Whatever comes to your mind, they think of it in advance, and whatever you don't think of, they make comprehensive arrangements.

Zhang Ran appeared on the red carpet with Han Shanping, Zhang Jingchu was busy filming "Baby Plan", and she was in Xiangjiang and couldn't attend. Zhang Ran didn't want to walk the red carpet with other female stars, so as not to listen to the wind and rain of the media. Walking the red carpet with Han Shanping, the media can't let him and Han Shanping get started!

The fans at the scene didn't expect Zhang Ran to appear, and they were overjoyed, and suddenly a scream "Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran" sounded, while the media frantically followed the shutter, and the strong flash illuminated the entire night sky.

Han Shanping was taken aback by the reaction of the audience: "Your kid's popularity is too high, it's really a pity not to act, the role of Zhou Yu in "Red Cliff" is really suitable for you, why don't you think about it again?" Zhang Ran has always been the best candidate for Zhou Yu in his heart, and he has persuaded Zhang Ran several times, but unfortunately Zhang Ran has never been moved.

Zhang Ran waved at the audience and said: "Next year, I want to shoot the earthquake, and the Asian Film Academy, where is the time? Besides, Wu Yusen can't shoot "Red Cliff" in my heart, and I'm really not interested." ”

Zhang Ran and Han Shanping walked the red carpet, entered the auditorium, and after sitting down in the first row, they chatted with each other. Han Sanping was more satisfied with "Wuji", was very confident in the box office, and even joked with Zhang Ran, saying that Zhang Ran might not be able to win the Lunar New Year championship this year.

It didn't take long for Chen Kaige and his wife to walk away from the auditorium with the main creators of "Wu Ji", South Korea's Zhang Dongjian and Japan's Sanada Guangichi, as well as Nicholas Tse, Zhang Baizhi, and Liu Ye, which are really star-studded. When Brother Chen Kai saw Zhang Ran, he brought the actors over to say hello, he patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Ran, after watching the movie, tell me your thoughts, I'm looking forward to your opinion." ”

Nicholas Tse was a little embarrassed, the original "Burst Drummer" had a good start, but in the end it turned against him. In recent years, his development has not been smooth, and sometimes he can't help but think that if he hadn't quit "Bursting Drummer" at the beginning, the later top bag case might not have happened, and his own development would definitely not be like this. However, although it is a pity to miss "Burst Drummer", he does not regret it, Edison Cheng is his brother.

Of course, if possible, he still hopes to improve the relationship with Zhang Ran, after all, the current Zhang Ran is not only a world-renowned director, but also the boss of Golden Harvest, and even his boss Yang Shoucheng is polite when he sees Zhang Ran. He stepped forward hard, squeezed out a smile and said, "Director, long time no see!"

Zhang Ran is not a particularly grudgeful person, not to mention that Nicholas Xie was just angry with his friends at the beginning, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time." "Wu Ji" is a much-anticipated movie, and I look forward to your performance in the movie!"

Nicholas Tse immediately said: "If you have the opportunity, you will definitely cooperate." ”

The story of "Wu Ji" is exactly the same as in Zhang Ran's memory, telling the story of a poor child who is favored by the goddess of fate and becomes the most beautiful princess in the world, but fate curses her to never get true love; And the process of getting true love is naturally smooth sailing, and the princess of Allure has an earth-shattering love wrestle between Duke Wuhuan of the North, the general Guangming, and the slave Kunlun.

What is different from the memory is the special effects of the movie, the special effects of "Wuji" in the previous life were so fake that they exploded, and the ratio of people and cattle in the scene where ten thousand cows galloped was completely out of balance; the scene of Kunlun and the general chasing was like Stephen Chow and the charter wife racing in "Kung Fu", so Chen Kaige never thought that "Wuji" was bad, but thought that he had been pitted, and if the special effects were better, it would not be this result. The special effects this time were made by heaven, and the special effects director entered the crew before the filming of the movie, and before the shooting, it was determined how to shoot and how to do the special effects, and the effect was much better than in the previous life.

However, excellent special effects could not save "Boundless", and the audience laughed many times during the screening. The focus almost revolves around Nicholas Tse's strange tone, especially when the golden finger held by Duke Wuhuan of the North played by Nicholas Tse Feng Feng turned into a thumbs up, the audience burst into laughter. The other leading actors, Hiroyuki Sanada and Zhang Dongjian, whose non-standard Chinese language also made the scene laugh from time to time.

Han Shanping, who was originally full of confidence in the movie and felt that he could surpass "Hero", laughed again and again with the audience, his face first turned white, and then gradually turned black. If it's a comedy, there's so much laughter, that's definitely a good thing, but is "Wu Ji" a comedy? No. This reaction from the audience means that something is wrong with the movie.

At the end of the film screening, Chen Kaige took the main creator to the stage to communicate with the media and the audience. Chen Kaige's expression looked a little confused, the audience's reaction was beyond his expectations, he couldn't understand that "Wuji" is obviously an epic story, with deep humanity and endless connotations, how did the audience react like this?

Zhang Ran didn't stay long, Brother Chen Kai probably didn't have the heart to ask his opinion, he walked out of the theater directly. Han Sanping also came out, his expression was very solemn: "Zhang Ran, what do you think?"

Zhang Ran didn't know how to answer this question, this version of "Wuji" is a little stronger than the version in his memory, but it is only a little stronger: "In fact, the idea of the movie is very good, but the script has serious problems, the story is terrible, and the audience's reputation is only afraid that it will not be too good." ”

Han Sanping said bitterly: "Haven't you read the script of "Wuji", why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhang Ran smiled and shook his head: "Do you think he will listen to what I say?"

Han Sanping was speechless for a moment, and could only sigh deeply. Brother Chen Kai is tall in his bones, and he is a little stubborn and self-serving, how can he listen to Zhang Ran, a junior.

After the premiere, film critics and media reporters gave their own evaluations, almost one-sided praise, such as "magnificent comparable to "The Lord of the Rings", "gorgeous and heavy blockbuster", "a beautiful hymn" and so on.

Unlike receiving red envelopes and the media and film critics, the audience went into the theater to watch it at their own expense, and many of them fell asleep and spent dozens of dollars in vain, so many people felt that they had been deceived and vented their dissatisfaction loudly on the Internet.

"It's ridiculous! In addition to the beautiful picture, the plot is a mess, which is simply insulting to the audience's IQ!"

"Brother Chen Kai, pay me back sixty yuan! After watching "Wuji", I almost feel like I was stolen sixty yuan!"

"Such a film took three years and cost more than 300 million yuan, which is not worth it at all, and the gap between it and my imagination is too big. ”

"It's, what the hell is going on? I'm asleep!"

"I look asleep too!"

"Allure's white-faced appearance is obviously a Japanese geisha makeup, and General Guangming's appearance in the Begonia Retreat, his costume and long-haired head shape are obviously ancient Japanese dress. Why are Chinese movies so Japanese, and they look like Japanese at first glance?"

Despite the audience's complaints, the box office of "Wuji" still exploded after its official release the next day, winning a high box office of 28.55 million on the first day, setting a new high for the premiere box office of all Chinese and foreign films that have been released this year.

In the next few days, the box office of "Wu Ji" soared, winning 84.52 million in the first four days, and "Wu Ji" used this number to refresh many records of Chinese films.

However, along with the soaring box office is the audience's increasingly violent scolding of "Wuji", and the media and film critics can't resist the audience's scolding, and they have turned against each other, "What else does "Wuji" have besides special effects", "Wuji" made me realize that I was wrong to blame Zhang Yimou", "Looking at the split personality of domestic blockbusters from "Wuji".

The bad reviews of "Wuji" have made the audience look forward to the unreleased "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" and "Three Fools", and the attention of the movie continues to rise.

On December 20th, the premiere of the movie "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" was held in Lijiang, and leaders such as Xu Rongkai, Governor of Tiannan Province, and Tenzin, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, attended the premiere ceremony.

The entire premiere officially kicked off at 4 p.m. and lasted until late at night. Not only did there be many star performances, but also a long table banquet for thousands of people to eat hot pot, and the whole premiere was impressive, and all kinds of tricks were amazing.

"A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" itself did not disappoint, although it cannot be compared with Zhang Yimou's previous "Red Sorghum" and "The Red Lantern Hangs High", but the whole movie is down-to-earth, content, full of feelings, and it is a work that points directly to the hearts of the people, and the media and the audience are full of praise.

On November 21st, the premiere of the movie "Three Fools" was held in the Jiannan Auditorium of Xiamen University.

The premiere of "Three Fools" is not as heavy as "Wuji", does it have a lot of tricks like "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", and does not even invite stars to help. In addition to the students of Xiamen University, the premiere was attended by invited media reporters and film critics. Of course, all the students of the 01 form book have arrived, and there are many of them. Although many people have been filming recently, and the time is very tight, this movie is everyone's graduation work, and they all rushed to the scene even if they were busy.

Before the screening of the movie, it was an interactive activity, Zhang Ran took the students in the class to talk about the original campus life on the stage, talked about the students' troubles, and recreated the situation of the original class with the students, and the whole process was full of laughter and applause. The media and the audience present watched it very happily, it turned out that Nortel's class was like this, and it turned out that the acting department trained like this.

In the interaction with the audience, Zhang Ran invited two lucky audience members from the audience to guide them to act on the spot. The crying scene is the most eye-catching, and when the audience sees which actor can cry in a few seconds, they often feel that the actor is very good at acting. Zhang Ran made two lucky audiences who had never learned acting cry like rain through narration and guidance. The audience was stunned, it was Zhang Ran, this is too powerful!

After more than an hour of communication and interaction, Zhang Ran and the crew returned to their respective positions, waiting for the official screening of the film.

The lights quickly went out, the auditorium went dark, subtitles appeared on the big screen, and the movie officially began. (To be continued.) )
