Chapter 148: "Life of Pi" and the Golden Horse Awards

The shooting went fast.

At the beginning, Xu Hui would reshoot because of his own requirements or the crew's mistakes.

In order to restore the characteristics of the scenery of the last century as much as possible, Xu Hui did not use high-definition cameras at the beginning, but used film to shoot.

The purpose of using film is to get as close to the original as possible and to shoot the original warm colors!

Many people can't understand Xu Hui's choice, after all, the high-definition camera can already realize all the functions of film, but he is an investor and a director, he has the final say, he wants to force the grid, just force him!

As a result, on the second day of filming, Xu Hui couldn't stand it anymore.

Because he couldn't see the results of the shooting in time, this unknown made him lose the feeling of being in control!

Compared with high-definition cameras, the effect of film shooting cannot be directly transmitted to the back of the monitor, and the real effect needs to be developed and post-processed before the real effect is known - when the film is shooting, the director knows the composition movement, and also knows the performance, but the lighting effect cannot be predicted...

Instead, digital HD cameras deliver the most accurate images at the right time, allowing photographers and gaffers to clearly see the final effect of light and shadow and make real-time adjustments to the best.

Xu Hui has the highest level of color grading team, and he can do whatever he wants!

The sense of ritual or something is all floating clouds...

The great director Spike Lee said, 'When I can do 10,000 pieces again, I won't miss the film.'" โ€™

The directors who say that he misses film are nothing more than a kind of respect and regret for tradition...

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The time is November 22, and Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" will be released in the mainland.

is like this, before "Youth Pi", Ang Lee's movies were not bought much in the mainland, and the only "Lust and Caution" that broke 100 million was because the gimmick was too big...

As for "Broken Arm Mountain", "Sense and Sensibility", "Riding with the Devil", "Ice Storm", "Hulk" and the like, especially "Broken Arm Mountain" or go to bluff the Americans, in the end, we are Chinese audiences, and these movies are the embodiment of Western values...

To tell the truth, before "Life of Pi", there weren't too many domestic viewers who liked Ang Lee...

"Life of Pi" made him!

Really, after "Youth Pi", Ang Lee became a god in the mainland in one fell swoop and became a big director on a par with Cameron!

"Avatar" is just a demonstration of technology, as if watching a fireworks show, no matter how grand and gorgeous you are, you can only "wow!" And "Life of Pi" shows the vastness, richness, and unfathomability of people's hearts and minds, which takes you to the frontier of your soul and reverberates in the depths of your soul for a long time!"

/\(โ€œโ–”โ–กโ–”)/

Please, it's a bit too much...

"Life of Pi" is of course a masterpiece, with a lot of depth and thought, but isn't "Avatar" a good movie?

With a global box office of $2.7 billion, do you think people all over the world are blind?

Besides, if Life of Pi didn't have 3D, without those gorgeous images, what would you see?

Ang Lee is loved by everyone, more because of his personality charm.

The mainland film industry is in the midst of drastic changes, and people are anxious and angry, and it is difficult to hide their perverse anger, from ordinary people to big directors. And Ang Lee's temperament as warm as jade, mellow and penetrating, and his temperament of being safe and not discouraged in adversity, are all close to the personality ideals that Chinese yearn for.

We realize that we have a period of "lost time", and the direct result of this loss is a gentle, mellow, delicate and calm collective personality.

Ang Lee is such a person!

"Billy Lynn" failed miserably at the box office, and Ang Lee said: It's not the fault of the technology, the movie is not good, you just scold me, the technology is not guilty.

Great director Feng: The audience is a brute, the audience doesn't know the goods, this audience can't!

Director Guo: If I die, you won't scold XX, this time I gave myself eight points, I did my best to complete this film, but limited by technology... Balabala

I suddenly felt that it was quite inappropriate to put Director Guo in it...

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Throwing away some interpretations of the original work, Ang Lee told the story of "Youth Pi" as a complete single line, no character conflict, only one person and a tiger getting along and drifting on the sea, and the control of the rhythm, the restoration of the atmosphere, and the excavation of the character's psychology have been achieved to the extreme.

From the text to the picture, Ang Lee has done the ultimate!

The most remarkable, known as the three most difficult elements for film practitioners to control: children, animals and water, "Life of Pi" has it all...

The mainland distribution is married to Huiwen Tianxia.

After all, $30 million was invested...

Huiwen's publicity team boasted about the effect of the movie - the mainland will be released one day later than North America, as for the reputation of Lao Mei, forget it, the IMDb score of "Youth Pi" is only 7.9 points, and it is only 6.6 points before the release, which is not as high as the score of "The Wind of Kings"...

Just catch the picture effect score!

Anyway, most viewers go to the cinema to see the effect!

On the first day of release, the theater chain gave 32% of the film schedule, and "Youth Pi" won the first day score of 18.29 million, and it can be seen from this film schedule that the theater at that time did not have much confidence in Ang Lee!

By the time "Billy Lynn's Halftime War" was released, the theater chain gave 28% of the film schedule - at that time, "Doctor Strange" had only been released for a week...

Word of mouth is against the sky!

The Douban score was directly topped to 9.1 points!

The audience was frightened by the 3D effect, I really didn't expect that the original 3D picture could be so beautiful!

No way, the recently released domestic 3D movies have made the audience a little irresistible to the real 3D...

"Five stars dedicated to the best 3D movie I've ever seen. Ang Lee himself said that making this movie was an impossible task, but he finally achieved it after four years of hard work. For the first time, I felt that 3D is an integral part of a film, and that the changing frame proportions, the alternating layers of editing, all for the sake of the story itself. โ€

"This kind of production level is embarrassing to charge such a little ticket price, what domestic "Painted Skin 3D" Why do you have the face to say that you are also 3D?"

The most intuitive evaluation of the audience is the 3D effect!

The next day, the box office doubled directly, winning 28 million;

On the third day, 38 million...

On the fourth day, 39 million...

After four days of release, it won 120 million in the first weekend, and the word-of-mouth continued to go against the sky, it is obvious that this is a movie with a lot of stamina!

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Like the original time and space, after the release of "Youth Pi", a bunch of praise, coupled with Huiwen's publicity, it is conceivable that the mainland box office of "Youth Pi" will definitely be a little higher than the original time and space, at least there is no problem with breaking 600 million.

You can recoup $30 million from the box office alone...

originally thought that the interpretation and praise of "Youth Pi" would last for a while, but the Golden Horse Awards on the 24th completely disrupted everything!

On November 24, the 49th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards was held in Yilan.

is exactly the same as Xu Hui's prediction, the best actor was awarded to Liu Qingyun, the actress was awarded to Gui Lunmei, the best director Adu, the best film "Detective Hunter Zhang", and mainland actress Liang Jing won the best supporting actress...

It's a normal process.

After Hou Xiaoxian served as the chairman of the Golden Horse Organizing Committee, the 46th "Can't Do Without You", the 47th "When Love Comes", the 48th "Saidek Balai", the 49th "Detective Hunter Zhang", the 50th "Parents Are Not Home", the 51st "Tuina"...

Except for "Saidek Balai", all of them are unpopular small films, which means that it is impossible for the best picture to be a big hit, especially a big hit in the mainland!

Golden Horse Awards from the 32nd to the 51st, there are 40 emperors and queens in the 20th sessions, and only 8 are Taiwan locals, and the last 5 have produced 4 local emperors...

Obviously, it is to use the Golden Horse to praise your own people!

This is the most intuitive statistic!

Mainland netizens are about to explode, and they have complained for Wang Qianyuan and "Room 7 Gift"...

"Room No. 7 Gift" has not yet been released, but the single-day box office has fallen below 2 million, and the box office potential has been exhausted, with a cumulative box office of 1.07 billion, Wang Qianyuan's acting skills have moved China, and the reputation of the movie has been maintained at around 8.7 points...

Yes, Liu Qingyun is an acting school, awesome, and a powerful actor, but "Death Gold" is not Adu's best work, and Liu Qingyun did not show 100% acting skills, on the other hand, Wang Qianyuan's performance in "Room No. 7" vividly interpreted a mentally handicapped father...

Just when netizens were complaining, a short video appeared under Weibo, with the title 'About the Golden Horse Awards, Xu Hui's God Prediction...'
