'Flowing fire in July, Weiyang in August, and clothes in September', from "The Book of Songs, Feng Feng, July".

The purpose of quoting this sentence is to pretend to be forced and mix the number of words...

……

To tell the truth, "Tangshan Earthquake", as a blockbuster with "Chinese characteristics", is not a "disaster type film" as many people imagine.

Although at the beginning of the film, the Tangshan earthquake scene was reproduced with the help of a foreign special effects team. It can be said that the level of special effects in Chinese films is the highest level so far, but the most important core of this film is not the display of disaster scenes and the celebration of personal heroism.

This movie is actually about how ordinary people who survived regained their lost family ties in the long time after the earthquake.

If you have to classify it according to genre films, it should be counted as a family ethics movie.

As a large-scale film with the participation of the Tangshan Municipal Government, this adaptation idea is naturally the safest narrative strategy in the current market environment.

It's impossible to show too much of the disaster, otherwise you won't be able to pass the trial!

Therefore, Director Feng focused his attention on a family, but unfortunately, the inherent limitations of director Feng Xiaogang can't elevate it to national sentiment or the collective memory of a generation, and the family in the movie is almost isolated from the world, not even neighbors!

That is, as the saying goes, 'false big empty'

However, ordinary audiences who are really willing to go to the cinema to watch movies are still very satisfied, satisfying the audience's curiosity and emotional consumption demands, and in layman's terms, it is to satisfy the audience's desire to enter the cinema to see the reappearance of a real disaster and shed tears of sympathy for it.

Coupled with Huayi's strong publicity ability, Feng Xiaogang's audience popularity accumulated over the years, the cooperation of the theater chain, and the appropriate schedule.

The box office results of "Tangshan Earthquake" broke 100 million in 3 days, 170 million in 4 days, 200 million in 5 days, 300 million in 7 days, and 400 million in 11 days, which is understandable!

"I think there's a good chance that this movie will exceed 800 million!"

Feng Xiaogang was a little stunned.

He should also be nervous, because the Film Bureau has moved the domestic release time of its biggest rival "Inception" to September 2, that is to say, throughout August, "Tangshan Earthquake" is dominant!

It's not right, "The Expendables" was released on August 20, but when it was released, "Tangshan Earthquake" had been officially released for more than a month!

……

Domestic movies, the concept of summer files is quite embarrassing.

Because of the concentrated summer release of blockbusters in the United States, domestic films simply can't withstand the bombardment of so many blockbusters, so our blockbusters are usually released in the Chinese New Year.

It should be 15 years, "Monster Hunt", "Pancake Man", and "The Return of the Great Sage" were released one after another in July, and the word-of-mouth above the grid line set frightening box office results, and the summer file has become another big schedule for Chinese films.

It's useless, it turns out that domestic movies are still the same beep, in the summer of 2016, the box office actually fell for the first time, "Tomb Robbery Notes", "Jedi Escape", "Cold War 2"...

In 2017, if it weren't for a "Wolf Warrior 2", with movies like "Three Lives and Three Worlds Washing Eyes", "The Legend of Wukong" and "The Great Cause of the Army", the summer file would still be a joke!

However, 2010's "Tangshan Earthquake" completely woke up many domestic production companies, and the movie is not only for the Chinese New Year!

It's a pity that not all production companies are called Huayi Brothers, and not all directors are called Feng Xiaogang.

Without 'Feng Xiaogang Film Protection Month', the pattern of Hollywood blockbusters will not change!

……

The time is August 20th, and "Men Should Be Self-Reliant" has been filming for nearly two months.

It's going well.

Today's filming is Huang Feihong's first face against Nalan Yuanshu.

In other words, Zhang Jing is a very good actor, she is athletic, her movements are in place, and she can meet the requirements of martial arts instructors in all aspects, but the key is not so much!

And it's cheap!

The salary is only 800,000...

"Click!"

Xu Hui poked his head out from behind the monitor and held a horn in his hand: "Nalan, your expression is cold... When you say your lines, don't look at Huang Feihong, you are an official, he is a citizen, he should look up to you!"

"Okay, Director!"

Zhang Jing is as good as a stream.

"All of us in the Yamen have been sent out to protect the foreigners, and I don't think it's necessarily safer here than outside, if I take in that group of students, once the White Lotus Sect takes the opportunity to make trouble, it will be difficult for me to guarantee the safety of those students. ”

"But, my lord..."

"Yes, the official should protect the people, but in the current situation, hey! This official has a body of martial arts, and it is difficult to support it alone! What a shame!"

The camera showed Wu Jing and Zhang Jing, and the expressions of the two were different, one was disappointed, and the other had a difficult face.

In other words, the role of Nalan Yuanshu is actually quite tragic.

As a disciple of the Eight Banners, he was born destined to serve the dying Qing Dynasty, as a soldier Nalan Yuanshu is excellent and qualified, just in terms of martial arts, a set of cloth stick kung fu that shows his deep and solid internal strength, and Huang Feihong can have a draw.

Nalan Yuanshu studied foreign languages in the Jingshi Tongwen Museum, and when he negotiated foreign affairs with foreign counselors in the jurisdiction, he was fluent in English, the words were sonorous and powerful, and the righteousness was strict: This is China, not Britain.!

He has never dumped foreigners, his stance is that of a hardliner, and he hates foreigners for their arrogance, arrogance, and devouring China step by step; he also feels contempt for other officials who look like servants and are timid when they encounter foreigners, and he never gives these foreign counselors a good face by relying on his good skills!

He is patriotic, but unfortunately, the court is weak and incompetent, and he is no longer alone who can turn the situation around!

From a historical point of view, his appearance is doomed to tragedy!

So, it's perfect to set this opponent - only a strong opponent can set off the bright and majestic shore of the protagonist!

Zhang Jing's experience, everyone is estimated to be quite familiar, born in the same year as Wu Jing, and is also a martial arts champion, but unfortunately, the same person is not the same life, Wu Jing is the male number one when he comes up, he can only do martial arts in Yuan's class, martial arts, slowly to about two thousand years, only from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

At first, he could only play some small supporting roles, the young master's followers and the like.

When filming "Water Moon Cave Sky", I met my wife Cai Shaofen!

Zhang Jing's resources are too sadistic, and Cai Shaofen is not a big man with hands and feet, after marrying a wife, he continues to stumble...

And when the media mentions him, most of them will say 'Cai Shaofen's husband' or something like that, but fortunately, the Sunglasses King's "Palace Erbiography" made him famous in one fell swoop, and he directly won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor with the role of Ma San!

Well, the king of sunglasses is still good, and he rarely misses in terms of praising people, except for Dong Jie...

In 2010, Zhang Jing hadn't been very popular, and he hadn't starred in any decent movies, Xu Hui asked him to play Nalan Yuanshu, and Zhang Jing agreed without much thought.

"Okay, let's rest first, and then shoot in an hour!"

At the end of this shot, when it was time to put out the meal, Xu Hui put down the horn in his hand and prepared to eat something.

"Director Xu, Director Xue Xiaolu is here..."

"Walter, what is she doing here?"
