It is no exaggeration to say that if someone in China can win the Nobel Prize, the media can dig him so deep that he can dig up what his ancestors did, and this works equally well for Duane. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The director is the soul of a movie, and "Liberation Day" can achieve such success as it is now, and Duane, as the chief director, is indispensable, and bears the first credit, so the media paid attention to this news and put Duane on the altar as soon as possible.

While celebrating Liberation Day's record-breaking, journalists began to dig deep to find different points to report.

There are those who doxxed Duane, dug him up from childhood to adulthood, and even dug out how old he was weaned, and there are also those who summarized the success factors of "Liberation Day", thinking that the success of "Liberation Day" should not only be attributed to Duane, but also to see some other aspects, such as the strength of the director team, the luxurious cast, the large investment, the deep production team, etc., the total total factors are combined to create "Liberation Day" The success of Duane alone is not enough to accomplish such a great feat -- don't you see that Duane has made so many movies before? But which one has exceeded the box office of three billion? It is also "Liberation Day", so ah, in the success of "Liberation Day", Duane's factor is on the one hand, and more importantly, the effect of the combination of other favorable factors.

"...... similarities between "Liberation Day" and "The Terminator" are that the chief director of the two films is Duane, but the differences are as follows: first, the cast of "Liberation Day" is much more luxurious than "Terminator"; second, the investment of "Liberation Day" is more than six times that of "Terminator"; third, and most importantly, "Terminator" has only one famous director, Duane, "Liberation Day" At the same time, there are three famous directors Du An, Zhang Yimou, and Huang Jianxin in charge, and according to reliable sources, the well-known director Xie Jin also participated in the filming ......"

This was a follow-up report by Southern Metropolis Daily on Tuesday.

The Bund Pictorial also dissected the phenomenon.

“…… The personal styles of the three directors in the film are strangely unified. Director Huang Jianxin has always paid attention to humanistic care and social issues, and he is also one of the few directors who can perfectly unify the thinking and commerciality of the film, and he has contributed a lot to the perfect combination of the main theme and commerciality of "Liberation Day" In recent years, director Zhang Yi has been constantly exploring the unity of art and commerce, and has always been famous for the grandeur and beauty of the picture commercially, which is also reflected in "Liberation Day" - "Liberation Day" is a clean and bright picture compared to "The Terminator", and I believe that Director Zhang plays a big role in it......"

China Business Daily conducted an analysis from an investment perspective.

...... the scale of "Liberation Day" has reached an unprecedented 400 million, counting the publicity expenses that have not yet been announced, its total cost is expected to exceed 600 million, combined with its production costs, the producer's income in the theater market will be between 500 million and 600 million, and its yield is even more incalculable from a long-term perspective, which can be described as a huge profit. The failure of the big production of "Wu Ji" once made many investors retreat from the big production model, but "Liberation Day" proved the feasibility of big production and big return from another angle, and I believe it will rekindle the interest of some investors to devote themselves to big productions, and "Liberation Day" has even tailored a successful template for them......"

The high rate of return of "Chainsaw" is enviable, but it is irreproducible, and the ceiling can be seen, "Liberation Day" is not different: it does not require a very creative idea like "Chainsaw", it has a visible template - invest a lot of money, find a few well-known directors who have proven themselves commercially, find a group of well-known actors, and as soon as the gorgeous picture is released, it is completed, just wait to collect the money, and it is not impossible to surpass the box office record of "Liberation Day".

With the rapid development of China's economy and the increasing amount of idle funds in society, China now does not lack rich people, but effective investment channels. In this case, investors prefer such a specific template that can be controlled, rather than a model like "Saw" that requires a lot of luck to keep your eyes peeled and dig hard. So "Chainsaw" is destined not to cause a trend, but "Liberation Day" can.

"Xiqin Metropolis Daily" analyzed it from the perspective of actors.

“…… Looking at the cast of "Liberation Day", Gong Li and Leung Jiahui are veteran well-known actors, Zhu Qian and Jia Hongsheng are well-known actors who have become popular in the past two years, and Du An and Ying Qiao can be attributed to the category of newcomer actors. The breadth of the choice of actors has also further expanded the audience of "Liberation Day", no matter what age you are, you can find actors you are familiar with and like in this movie, I believe this is also the secret of "Liberation Day...... Ying Qiao, an unknown newcomer, debuted from "Chinese Good Actor", and in just one year, he has become the hottest little flower at this stage, and it is reported that many movies have extended an olive branch to him, and many people believe that she will become the next Zhu Qian, following the title of "a certain girl" and "star girl", the title of "Du girl" has also begun to appear in the circle......"

Some gossip newspapers even began to break the news that the salaries of the actors who participated in the performance of "Liberation Day" have collectively risen, especially Ying Qiao, who has only acted in one movie, and now the movie salary quotation is 5 million, which can be said to be an overnight success.

When people calmed down, although "Liberation Day" still dominated most of the headlines in the media, it had retreated from the front page, and similarly, in the report that began on Tuesday, Duane also stepped down from the altar of the past two days. More attention has been paid to the factors behind the success of Liberation Day. So they saw the investment, the actors, and the directors, and in this case, the "Duane puppet theory" that appeared some time ago reappeared on the pages of some media.

Some subordinate newspapers are not afraid of the influence, and they dare to speak more daringly, and have begun to take the lead in speaking, saying that just like "Looking for a Gun", in "Liberation Day", Du An is just a puppet, and Zhang Yi and Huang Jianxin play more roles, or even Xie Jin, Du An is just a chief director because of good luck.

Even Du ane himself once admitted that the success of "Liberation Day" is inseparable from Zhang Yimou, and it is Zhang Yi who "surpasses himself".

The Chinese people have a very peculiar mentality, that is, the widespread statements of the big newspapers are not credible, and the conspiracy theories of the tabloids seem to be reasonable. Under the guidance of this psychology, many people gradually begin to feel that the truth of the matter is really like this, and it is more in line with the logic in their hearts - compared to a director who has been in the industry for 3 years and is still halfway through the industry and broke the box office record, it is reasonable for the former record holder to break this record by himself.

And this kind of logic has a tendency to spread, and it may even become a mainstream trend of thought in the future, just like "Looking for a Gun", even if Jiang Wen stood up and clarified that he did not bully the land boat, but only put forward some opinions and did not control the whole movie, but no one believed it, and people believed what they thought in their hearts - this film was filmed by the land boat?

The water in the entertainment industry is too mixed, and no one dares to guarantee that they know the truth, let alone these people outside, they can only interpret it from the most reasonable perspective. (This paragraph does not represent the author's position, because the author did not join the group and did not know the truth of the matter)

Moreover, in "Looking for a Gun", when Jiang Wen only served as an actor and did not enter the director team, such a reasonable mainstream trend of thought was transmitted, Zhang Yi entered the director team in "Liberation Day", and Du An also made relevant clear remarks, and the space for people's imagination is more extensive.

So all of a sudden, this trend of thought began to spread gradually, and even some insiders in the circle who didn't know the inside story couldn't help but have such thoughts.

But now Duane has no time to pay attention to the news.

"Liberation Day" was painted on the 30th, he just attended the "Liberation Day" record-breaking and perfect painting celebration dinner in Shanghai on Monday, and flew directly to Beijin the next day, but his mood at the moment is not as good as many outsiders speculate, and even a little bad, because he received a message.

Jia Hongsheng may not be able to star in "Truman's World". (To be continued.) )
