Chapter 889: The Lazy Boy's Godmother

(FFF: You get the idea!)

At the same time, for a while, in different countries, countless people were talking about Wu Cheng's film "Shaolin Temple". Insiders www.biquge.info look at things that are insiders, such as the film's action stunts, shooting angles, editing styles, soundtrack inclusions, costumes and props, and so on.

As for laymen, they are watching the excitement, their most intuitive feeling is this play, they are not happy to watch it, are they happy? Obviously, this "Shaolin Temple" gives everyone a new visual enjoyment. Not only subverted the action style of previous martial arts films, but it can also be said to have subverted the action style of any previous action movies, especially the use of short shots and panoramic shots.

The short shots give people a sharp and cool feeling, and every action has a short and domineering feeling. In the panoramic shot, many people observed it carefully, even some of the actors were not perfunctory, giving people a very real feeling.

As a result, not only the audience went crazy, but even the filmmakers went crazy.

When it was also released in North America, many young people shouted cool after watching this movie. If they went for the trust of director Wu Cheng before, then now, they are completely going for the movie itself.

Many people compare Wu Cheng's "Shaolin Temple" with those films of Li Xiaolong, and many people like Mr. Li Xiaolong, more because he has real kung fu.

The term 'kung fu' also appeared in the dictionary of Europeans and Americans because of Li Xiaolong.

Compared to the two, it is clear that they are two different styles. Maybe Mr. Li Xiaolong's fist-to-flesh action style is more realistic, although the actions in this "Shaolin Temple" seem to be a bit exaggerated, but in fact, most of the movements in it, as long as they are practiced, can actually be achieved. Except for some volleys, which require a lot of bounce and airing ability.

However, in this regard, Wu Cheng directly used slow motion for the sake of beauty.

Therefore, even if it is a bit exaggerated, in the case of slow motion, those who have practiced it can still demonstrate it. Even if it's a bit exaggerated, it's not exaggerated.

In their words, it's actually 'scientific'.

And most of the young people are attracted by the cool and handsome action shown in the sharp and short editing style, and they scream incredible.

Regardless of the plot, it is a good work to appreciate purely from the aspect of action.

Because of this, many people watch this drama and completely ignore its plot, and almost most people are attracted by those actions, and then watch it over and over again, fascinated.

"That guy, what a genius!"

Lucas and Spielberg sighed one after another after watching this movie.

"His use of camera language is ahead of almost all directors, I really don't know how many ideas and creativity he has in his head, he is simply a monster!"

In the face of Lucas's complaint, Spielberg chuckled, "It is estimated that it will not be long before his style of action will become popular around the world." You see, a lot of young people love it!"

"There's no way! Young people nowadays like cool and handsome things, and many of them admire that guy very much, and now in this way, it would be strange if this style is not popular! Look at it! It won't be long before many directors imitate him!"

"Stephen, do you have any film plans for this year?"

"Well, there are a couple of animated series that need to be filmed, and I'm not going to make a movie yet, but I'm the producer of those animations. Spielberg laughed and said, "Take a break for a while." ”

"When you're done with your current work, let's start filming the second part of Raiders of the Lost Ark!" Lucas smiled and said, "What do you think would be the case with a little bit of this action style element in that film?"

"Oh God! that's a ridiculous suggestion!" Spielberg chuckled, "You know, George, these styles of action require a certain amount of kung fu, and I'm not talking about the actors, but the characters." Apparently Dr. Jones is not a kung fu master!"

"Okay! I'm just making a suggestion!" Lucas said.

"You should write the script first!" Spielberg laughed, "Actually, what I want to shoot now are the two scripts that were placed in DreamWorks." ”

"The Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump?" Lucas raised an eyebrow, "The fiction versions of these two scripts seem to have been published last year, right?"

"You weren't paying attention?"

"I bought the book, but I haven't read it yet, and I didn't write it anyway. ”

"That's based on his script. ”

"How's the novel?"

"It's not bad, there is the potential to win the prize!"

"I don't think that guy would have let someone else do these two scripts so easily. That guy, I guess he wants to shoot it himself, and then take a few Oscars from him!"

"It's difficult!" Spielberg sighed lightly and said, "You know, although this is a country that emphasizes freedom and equality, those stubborn old men of the academy may not really be willing to award that little golden figure to a Chinese person." ”

"So you have less chance of shooting, don't you? He has to accumulate qualifications. ”

"Yes, so, it's a bit of a pity!"

"Maybe you can talk to him, Cheng is still a very reasonable person, isn't it?" Lucas laughed, "just like the 'alien' you filmed." ”

"Perhaps! but not now!"

……

The next day, on the front lines of the newspapers, almost all of them reported the movie "Shaolin Temple". Countless people have evaluated this movie from the perspective of the audience and from the perspective of filmmakers, and they have praised it.

"Xiangjiang City Entertainment News" described Wu Cheng's film as a 'milestone in martial arts action movies', because it opened up another new world for martial arts films and action films.

On the side of "Ming Pao", Mr. Jin Yong personally took the pen and wrote a film review, saying that Wu Cheng's film not only created a new world for new martial arts movies, but also opened a new skylight for action scenes, which is destined to become a classic and lead the transformation of martial arts movies and action movies.

There are many, many reports like this.

Many professional filmmakers expound their views from the perspective of filmmaking techniques and editing techniques. Some non-professional film critics look at the good and bad of a movie from the perspective of an audience.

Obviously, Wu Cheng's "Shaolin Temple" is a masterpiece that can be enjoyed again and again. Although all of them are rookie actors, their acting skills may not be enough, but this is a movie that can make people intoxicated and want to stop just watching those action scenes.

Of course, there are those who say yes, and naturally there are those who hack him. The people who hacked him naturally evaluated from the perspective of the acting skills of these rookie actors and the plot of the film.

Acting skills are indeed the shortcomings of action actors, especially rookie action actors, which is an unsolvable dead end. Looking at those action actors, which one has the best acting skills when he is a newcomer?

Even those actors, when they were newcomers, their acting skills were very average.

Therefore, Wu Cheng directly ignored this kind of comment on picking bones in eggs.

After giving a few days off to several creators, Wu Cheng stayed at home and received box office information from all over the world. Needless to say, Xiangjiang is full almost every day, even the one that started at 8 o'clock in the morning is still full.

In other countries in Southeast Asia, the situation is not much worse, and it has almost become a feast for the audience.

The only place that seems to be quiet is probably the area of Treasure Island. Because this movie was not released on Treasure Island at all. Maybe in the future, we can let Hong Xing sell the video tapes here on his behalf! I believe that the video tapes should sell well here.

And the craziest place is the mainland.

Because it is released simultaneously around the world, it is also released on the third day of the Lunar New Year in the mainland.

The copy fee on the mainland side is not from Donglong International, but from the mainland itself. At the same time, Donglong International also does not need to pay for the publicity expenses in the mainland, and even a few main creators do not need to do any publicity, because they are already crazy without publicity at all.

Of course, on the other hand, Wu Cheng's share of the box office in the mainland is only 30%. This is the maximum that Wu Cheng can strive for.

However, Wu Cheng also knows that the actual box office finally counted in the mainland will definitely not be hundreds of millions. The original time and space movie has a box office of hundreds of millions, which is just the result of rough statistics of the number of moviegoers in some other second- and third-tier cities.

In fact, the box office results on the bright side, there are half of them, thank God.

However, now the money in the mainland is relatively strong, even if the box office is only 60 or 70 million Chinese dollars in the end, he can get 15 or 6 million, and when converted into Hong Kong dollars, there are 40 or 50 million.

Of course, the more than 10 million Chinese dollars, the mainland side means, do not transfer out, and invest directly in the mainland. In this regard, although Wu Cheng was a little speechless, he did not object in the end.

Anyway, Longteng Group still needs money, and he is not short of such money.

What's more, when the box office results for three consecutive days in North America came over, Wu Cheng was directly overjoyed, more than 1,500 theaters, and the box office results for three consecutive days were actually 20 million, although it was not as good as Lucas's 'Star Wars 2' and Spielberg's 'Alien', but it was better than Cameron's "Terminator".

And, let's not forget, "The Terminator" is a science fiction film, played by an American. And his "Shaolin Temple" is a Chinese movie, although it has been translated.

Such an opening result, even if it was Mr. Li Xiaolong at the beginning, it was nothing more than that!

Wu Cheng believes that this movie, in North America, is half of the success.

The other half depends on how the audience feels about watching the movie next.
