Zhang Yimou has saved Chinese movies twice, which is an indisputable fact.

"One and Eight" announced the birth of the fifth generation of directors, and "Red Sorghum" made the world begin to pay attention to Chinese films;

In 02, "Hero" was born, and Chinese films entered the blockbuster era and also entered the marketization stage!

Don't forget who led Chinese literary films to the world, and don't forget who set off a revolution in domestic commercial blockbusters.

There are always people who say that Zhang Yimou is willing to degenerate and make commercial bad movies, and some people will even pretend to say in a deep way that Zhang Yimou is dead, although he has made so many excellent literary films before.

I have always believed that Zhang Yimou is the greatest director in China, and he has nothing to do with politics or private life.

An ordinary person, if he can have Zhang Yimou's 1% achievement, it can be said that he has achieved a successful career.

……

According to Zhang Weipin, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was released simultaneously in China and the United States...

Tsk, Xu Hui's "New Dragon Gate Inn" can't do it!

At this time, North America is the Christmas schedule, and a bunch of local North American movies have been released, "Twilight 4: Dawn (Part I)", "Rat Treasure", "Mission Impossible 4", "Sherlock Holmes 2: Shadow Game", "New Year's Eve", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"...

The so-called simultaneous release in North America is said by people who don't understand distribution. How is that possible?

Are you looking for one that is also considered synchronous?

Simultaneous screenings in the true sense of the word must be in full bloom in at least 1,500 theaters across the United States, but in the North American Christmas stalls where there are many good shows, this is impossible!

"New Dragon Gate Inn", Disney is not particularly optimistic, but it also agreed to introduce the film, but the schedule is February next year!

If there is a so-called "simultaneous release", it must be a non-commercial theater, or an individual theater.

But Xu Hui is too lazy to care about these, Zhang Weipin can blow it as much as he likes, anyway, just do a good job in the domestic area!

On the 14th, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" ushered in its world premiere.

Zhang Weipin really had a way, and he didn't know what he thought, so he directly held the premiere ceremony in the auditorium of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beijing.

ingeniously uses a stage play to intercept the clips of the movie, plus the introduction of the main creator's mouth, which is very shocking!

The premiere ceremony began with the song "Qin Huaijing" accompanied by the appearance of the thirteen hairpins, and ended with Zhang Yimou introducing all the staff in front of and behind the scenes.

Among them, Bell and Yumo's actor Nini appeared hand in hand, which attracted the most attention.

Just watching this premiere, the tear-jerking effect is full!

It is a real movie related to Nanjing on the theme of the "Nanjing Massacre" so far - the crisp Nanjing dialect in the movie, the glamorous woman by the Qinhuai River, and the elegant and low-pitched commentary and singing...

The story is very moving, whether it is the portrayal of the characters or the excavation of human nature, it is eloquent and fascinating.

Zhang Yimou has completely abandoned the method of relying on photography and pictures to dazzle, and even this time did not use the signature Chinese red.

The whole movie is plain, but touching, like "Alive", there is no concept of any grand narrative, it speaks with details, every detail is exquisite and in place, which makes people move to tears, the shoes of schoolgirls, the strings of cardamom, the earrings of pandan... In the movie, the beauty of human nature is everywhere.

Many people sighed that Zhang Yimou is finally back!

Many professionals give predictions: at least 300 million in the first week!

Zhang Weipin didn't open his mouth during the whole process, and he also knew that the box office was really annoying at this time...

However, compared with Zhang Yimou's previous masterpieces, the premiere of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has dimmed a lot, except for the actors who participated, there were no other stars attending...

……

At the same time, the premiere ceremony of "New Dragon Gate Inn" was also held in Beijing.

The stars are shining.

Wu Jing, Deng Chao, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Liu Sisi, Yaya, including Huayi stars, Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming and... Eh, Feng Teddy, basically actors who have worked with Xu Hui or have a good relationship are here!

The title of the premiere is 'Xu Hui's 3D Martial Arts World!'

After the actor appeared on the stage, he first had a brief interview, and then Xu Hui appeared.

"Our "New Dragon Gate Inn", its production scale is three or four times larger than my previous films, the main reason is that it involves a very complex technical problem, because the scene is 3D shooting, which requires the use of 3 sets of 3D equipment, and the labor involved is more. ”

"In fact, I said in an interview last year that martial arts plus IMAX plus 3D will have a huge visual impact on us, and future movies must be 3D dominating the mainstream, so of course I have to try it!"

"At present, there is a specific figure for the investment in the whole film, which is 180 million or more, which is mainly used in post-production and on-site shooting, and the remuneration charged by the actors is really low, probably not even ten percent. ”

"I feel very sorry for them, especially Teacher Yu Feihong, when I was shooting, my cornea was injured and bleeding nonstop, and I wanted to quit for a while..."

The host is Huang Jianxiang: "You should have already watched the movie, can you tell us how you feel?"

"That's the case, I have my own insistence on my own aesthetics, if I don't think it's good, even if it's a remake, I won't take it out to meet the audience, I watched 3 versions, the 2D version, the action and editing have met my requirements, it's perfect; the IMAX version is also very good, with Chen Xunqi's soundtrack, it makes people dreamlike and directly enters the world of the movie; as for the 3D version, it's still a bit of a problem..."

"A little problem?"

Huang Jianxiang is a little unsure.

"I recommend that minors still don't watch the 3D version of "New Dragon Gate Inn", there are some shots in it that are not suitable for children..."

Xu Hui said very mysteriously.

Actually, it's a half-filled sherbet...

There was no doubt that there was a 'whoo' at the scene.

They're all old drivers!

"Cough, Director Xu, there are many people on the Internet who say "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" these days, what do you think of Director Zhang Yimou?"

This was specially added to the script before.

Deliberately avoiding talking about it will give people a feeling of cowardice before fighting!

And there are so many media outlets on the scene, reporters always have something to write!

"Director Zhang Yimou has always been the Chinese director I admire the most, and I really want to work with him on a play, I write the screenplay, and he directs it. "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" tells the story of the Nanjing Massacre as the background, and I hope that the audience can watch "The Thirteen Hairpins", and of course they can also watch my films. Now the ticket prices are not expensive, and I have always wondered why everyone must compare themselves with each other? Chinese filmmakers are all a family, and we should develop together. ”

Well said, kudos to you!
