Chapter 178: Jiang Wen
From 08 to 10 years, Pao Hui has gone from a rookie director to the biggest bug in the Chinese film industry!
In the box office list of Chinese film history, his movies account for three of the top five!
As a director, he has achieved great commercial success, and of course he would love to be recognized by awards.
After all, Pao Hui is just an ordinary person.
Even the queen of bad movies wants to be a performance artist, Pao Hui imagines what happened to the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse?
The three major awards in the Chinese film industry, Golden Horse, Golden Statue, Golden Rooster, Pao Hui has never said that he doesn't care about awards and the like, but few people care about these...
From the beginning of the birth of the film, awards and box office have been defaulted to two evaluation systems, wild in the dark places of film history.
Awards usually have an artistic aura of their own, and they have a very different attitude from what seems to be at the box office. It has more stringent requirements for a sense of ceremony, with red carpets, evening dresses, red wine, flashing lights, tears, acceptance speeches, and so on, constituting another more majestic standard of film criticism.
These Xu Hui seem to have nothing to do with Xu Hui's movies.
Because he is making a commercial film!
Many people firmly believe that a movie that has won an award is a good movie, or that a director and actor with the support of an award is a good director and a good actor, to some extent, it is true, but these people obviously selectively ignore another factor of the movie, audience reputation!
So far, Pao Hui has not made a bad movie.
This is very rare in the entire Chinese film industry.
Isn't such a director worthy of an award of encouragement?
Of course, the reason why he bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction was not only because he really felt that this year's Golden Horse was indeed disappointing in his heart, but more importantly, "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" was still a month away...
Fight in advance and publicize it...
The media apparently got his idea.
As a result, a bunch of circulars appeared on major websites.
"Xu Hui bombarded the Golden Horse Awards, thinking that it was too local..."
"Awards and audiences, Xu Hui believes that film awards should give proper consideration to the opinions of the audience..."
It's very lively, but unfortunately, these news were quickly suppressed, because a movie that is enough to change the public's fixed perception of Chinese films, "Let the Bullets Fly" was released...
……
"Let the Bullets Fly" is very hanging.
It is called the most awesome Chinese movie after 2,000 years.
Many viewers unswervingly believe that "Let the Bullets Fly" is the best Chinese movie!
Copy a paragraph of Bai Bai's evaluation of Jiang Wen: "Uncle Eucalyptus said: There are several elements in the movie, thoughts, feelings, luck, technology, and finally personality. And Jiang Wen's movies are all about personality!
This kind of personality is so strong that people can't help but understand the work in his logic, and in his way, he understands the unreasonable flaws of "Let the Bullets Fly".
Because the things he believes in are ancient and classic, there are guns and wine, heroes and beauties, pleasure and enmity, leisurely and heroic. These have boiled in our blood, and we think they are justified. ”
Feng Xiao knows Jiang Wen very well, the two have known each other since 93, "Beijingers in New York", Jiang Wen is an actor, Feng Xiaogang is a director, Feng Xiaogang said Jiang Wen in "Silted Intelligence": My problem is how to achieve good standards, but Mr. Jiang is not, his problem is how to control his talent. For him, the biggest enemy is the cleverness that comes out of it.
Therefore, Jiang Wen made commercial films, Feng Xiaogang liked it very much, and even made a cameo...
How poisonous is Feng Xiaogang's vision?
Take a look at the movies where he has appeared, "Sunny Days", "Kung Fu", "I Am Your Dad", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Lao Paoer"...
Of course, "I Am Your Dad" was Shuo Ye's movie, and it was not released...
……
On the 16th, "Let the Bullets Fly" was released.
Jiang Wen mentioned in an interview with the media that there was a scene in the movie that was filmed by Xu Hui, who made a cameo appearance, and bluntly said that Xu Hui's performance and directorial level are indeed not bad!
Xu Hui wrote a paragraph on Weibo, which was regarded as a response to Jiang Wen's shouting in the air.
""Bullet" has been released, and the three major movie stars are on the same stage, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't leave, I would definitely have to go to the scene to support it. Jiang Wenge is definitely one of the most talented directors in China, and even this one can be deleted, there is no best film director, everyone's evaluation criteria are different, in my opinion, there are only good directors, powerful directors, and awesome directors! Jiang Wen belongs to the last, the awesome director, these three classifications are not distinguished, Zhang Yimou is a good director, Li An is a powerful director, making a movie without winning the Oscar, Golden Bear, Golden Palm, Golden Lion are not easy to come up with, and Jiang Wen, Quentin, belong to the awesome director, this kind of director is alternative, and awesome, you can't accept the works you shoot. Also, I wanted to put myself in the category of good directors, but unfortunately, my films didn't win awards..."
Well, by the way, give yourself a bent.
However, directly placing Jiang Wen in such a high position really surprised many viewers who couldn't do it.
Speaking of "Bullet", before "Bullet", that audience knew Jiang Wen?
Except for a bunch of old movie fans who are immersed in the 90s, please, the mainstream movie-watching group is young people in their twenties!
After the "Bullet" meeting, a large number of fans began to praise Jiang Wen, and even put him in the position of the four major directors in the mainland...
In fact, for many audiences, "Let the Bullets Fly" is a comedy movie, after watching it, in addition to the excitement, the line that can be remembered is probably just a sentence of 'Forget it!', ah, no, there is also a sentence of 'Big brother, you know me...'
As for all kinds of metaphors, it can only be said that there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers...
However, the film did achieve good commerciality.
On the day of the premiere, it directly won the box office of 32 million, and then went all the way up, and on the 18th, it even won the box office of 62 million in a single day...
In the first week, the box office soared directly to 190 million, almost killing "Huang Feihong".
Of course, its biggest role is to make the entire Chinese New Year file follow the climax, and in the next "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", fans seem to have waited for the movie to be in its prime!
Hehe, when the advertising blockbuster "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" is released, the audience should be sober again, this is the most normal way to open a Chinese-style commercial masterpiece...
The Chinese New Year file is the schedule for the whole people to watch movies, once a movie steps on the audience's G-spot, Li Ke, the influence of the movie will rise, followed by a burst box office!
Of course, "Let the Bullets Fly" has little to do with Xu Hui, even if he starred in it as Sun Shouyi, who sells rice noodles, and directed one of the scenes.
It's a pity that all the public's eyes are focused on Jiang Wen - it's been a long time since such a gentleman and hormonal work has appeared on the Chinese screen!
Another point, the popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly" directly led to a sharp decline in the attention of "My Little Black Dress"...
