Chapter 56: Rave reviews
Returning to the screening hall again, Xu Hui's expression was much better, at least it was no longer the expressions he had before.
"How can you smell of a woman's perfume?"
Chen Farong's nose was very pointy, and she immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"I met Zhang Ziyi and chatted with her for a few words."
Xu Hui yawned and explained.
"Zhang Ziyi? What's the matter with her looking for you? Do I still want you to act? ”
For Zhang Ziyi, Chen Farong has a good temper, what happened at the beginning of last year, I still remember it vividly!
"No, she wants to keep the studio under our company..."
"You promised her?"
"Why not, she is one of the four major flowers, with her joining, you can imagine the popularity of our company..."
"Come on, everyone knows that Zhang Ziyi is not a simple person, so you believe her so casually!"
“… When the time comes, you go talk to her..."
"What, it's troublesome, it's troublesome, why did you promise her?"
Xu Hui stopped talking, staring at the big screen, letting Chen Farong complain in his ear...
……
"The close-ups of the film best express the director's personal intentions, and there are four very noteworthy close-ups in the movie "Once Upon a Time".
One is the flower in the rain:
Yan Zhendong was performing in the rain, Liang Kuan saw Yan Zhendong squatting down and picking up the copper plates on the ground one by one, and he didn't come to his senses, only to hear the prostitutes upstairs holding flowers and shouting: "Uncle, don't chase it, come up." Immediately after that, the flower fell beside Yan Zhendong, Liang Kuan looked down, the heavy rain was beating the flowers lying on the ground, the flowers were next to Yan Zhendong who was being beaten by the rain, Yan Zhendong looked up at Liang Kuan, and the camera was fixed on the falling flowers on the ground, accompanied by the coquettish shouts of the surrounding prostitutes and the sound of the rain, this kind of desolation is not something that ordinary people can experience.
The second is Huang Feihong's cloth shoes:
The foreigner injured the ninth uncle who was selling vegetables, Pork Rong was impulsively angry, picked up the guy and took the people of the militia to prepare to seek justice, Master Huang scolded sharply, saying: "Don't be impulsive, don't allow you to interfere, now it's about human life, I want to find the yamen and clarify this matter with the foreigners, otherwise we Tang people, how can we live in Foshan." Then he turned around, and the camera was down to his black cloth shoes, motionless.
Cloth shoes symbolize tradition, and Huang Feihong often says that he solves things through the yamen, showing his inner stability and rationality but abiding by tradition, and the close-up of cloth shoes is appropriately shown here.
Three burned fans
The Shahe Gang attacked Bao Zhilin, and a fire burned the entire Bao Zhi Lin, and the thirteenth aunt was so focused on holding the camera that she did not protect the paper fan with the unequal treaty that Liu Yongfu gave to Huang Feihong before leaving.
When Huang Feihong came back, he saw Aunt Thirteen taking pictures of the burned house with a camera, and said that the house was almost burned out, and you were still taking pictures! As soon as the words fell, he walked into the room and hurriedly opened the paper fan, the content of the treaty was still there, but the word "no" in the "unequal treaty" was burned, at this time the camera gave a big close-up of the burned paper fan, and then looked at the plaque next to it "My land and my people", and was furious for a while, and scolded Aunt Thirteen, scolding her for knowing how to play these Western things all day long.
Bao Zhilin was burned, the paper fan was destroyed, and all the old things that represented tradition and national pride were gone, but the Western things were good to exist, and the family hatred and national hatred, the national humiliation, and the clash of civilizations were mixed for a while, and this anger was a pain for the past and a confusion about the future.
When everything we have is gone, in the face of an unknown new future, do we accept it completely, or do we wait and see? This is not Huang Feihong's problem alone, nor is it a problem of the late Qing Dynasty.
can handle every shot so carefully, this "Once Upon a Time" can win the Cannes Jury Prize, there is no fluke, a good movie, let it go.
People who make movies with their hearts deserve to be respected! ”
Mu Hua finished writing this paragraph and looked around, everyone was still staring at the big screen.
The movie ends, and the tidbits are revealed for the first time.
The so-called tidbits are small records on the set when filming behind the scenes.
Wu Jing frowned and sighed on his waist, and Xu Hui pointed at Li Zhongzhi to discuss the shot he wanted...
Of course, there is also a group of creators who sleep staggeringly...
All of them show that this is a creative team that makes movies with heart!
……
The end of the movie, the media access time.
"Director Xu, I heard that the scene of the bamboo ladder fight in the warehouse was conceived by you, right?"
"Well, I want to show a feeling of flowing water, but I can't lose the martial arts design that is close to reality, so I used a bamboo ladder, and the specific work design is in charge of our action director Li Zhongzhi!"
"Director Xu, we got the news that the special effects part of this movie is used a lot, but we watched the tidbits, and it seems that there is nothing to do with the special effects shots..."
"Special effects are not only explosions, we have to restore that era, it is far from enough to build through the way, we can only rely on special effects rendering, so the cycle of the whole movie will be as long as 11 months..."
"Director Xu, I heard that the scripts of the last two parts of "Huang Feihong" have been created and are being approved, can you tell us about the specific release time?"
“… I haven't even started filming yet, but as long as the film can recoup its cost, the next two will definitely be shot immediately! ”
"But we heard that the overseas copyright of "Once Upon a Time" has been sold..."
"It's a little sold, but in most areas, we have adopted a split account model, which means that we haven't been able to recover the cost for the time being..."
"Director Xu, what is your box office expectation for "Once Upon a Time"?"
"Expected? I certainly hope that the more the better, preferably better than Avatar! ”
This sentence is obviously bragging.
"Avatar" had a box office of 1.37 billion, which directly more than doubled the domestic box office record.
Invincible in the same schedule!
"Once Upon a Time" chose to be released on May 21, which is not a good schedule in itself, and the aftermath of "Iron Man 2" is still there.
In July, "Tangshan Earthquake" was released.
There is only one month left for "Once Upon a Time"!
In a month's time, if you want to surpass the box office results of "Avatar", dream!
Of course, the media in the audience can also feel that Xu Hui is playing haha inside and outside his words.
'Damn, now even Xu Hui has become an old fritter! The entertainment industry is really a big dye vat! ’
……
"There is no doubt that Once Upon a Time is a classic!"
This is the consensus of the media and peers after the premiere.
These people are discerning, and they can distinguish between good movies and bad movies.
The audience is also very satisfied, and some viewers feel that the theme of "Once Upon a Time" is too heavy, especially the last sentence of the movie:
"Jinshan, is there a Jinshan in the world?"
"If there really is a mountain of gold in this world, why do these foreign ships come to our port? Maybe we're already standing on a mountain of gold. ”
Very meaningful...
Some people speculate whether Xu Hui is satirizing those turtles...
More viewers remembered the role of Huang Feihong, the white crane with bright wings, the shadowless feet of Foshan, and the glamorous thirteen aunts...
