Chapter 90: Unprecedented
After the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, people swore that a new era was coming, and after the release of "Ace Agent", this argument was once again raised.
The difference is that the former is talking about music, while the latter is talking about film, and two different fields and the same person bring the same result.
What kind of person is Zhang Xiaoye, some people may think that he is a writer who sings well and acts very well, some people think that he is a singer who makes movies well and can write novels, and in the eyes of Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, he is a filmmaker who will change Xiangjiang movies.
"Ace Agent" is unprecedented in terms of shots, narrative, special effects and martial arts design, and if someone says that this is the best movie ever made in Hong Kong, they can only nod and admit it, because it is true.
After watching the movie, I asked myself, and I had to sadly admit that they really couldn't make such a movie, not everyone was willing to spend so much money to invest in movies, because if one didn't do well, it might be doomed.
Even a giant like Xinyicheng didn't dare to think of spending more than 50 million to make a movie, even if Xu Ke and they had such ambitions, Lei Juekun couldn't pass that level, and this boss was obviously not willing to take such a huge risk.
Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai is willing to spend money, but he didn't use the right way at all, and he didn't even earn yelling after losing his capital.
Willingness to invest is one aspect, talent is the most important, because it was Zhang Xiaoye who had such a movie come out, no matter how willing he was to spend money, it was useless, and even the money was reluctant to smash, it was even more useless.
After the movie was broadcast at the premiere, the time was just twelve o'clock, and "Ace Agent" was fully released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, even if it was already midnight, the audience who couldn't wait was still in an endless stream, and those who were late couldn't even buy tickets.
The ticket hall of the Marine Cinema was already full of people before the ceremony ended, and all the tickets for the premiere before half past eleven were sold out.
There were also many people who rushed to the scene, only to get a disappointing result, and were told that there were no more tickets.
"Isn't it, there are so many people watching movies in the middle of the night?"
"Usually no, even if the wind and moon film are released, there will not be so many people so late, but today is different, this is Zhang Xiaoye's work, this is an ace agent, you can only blame yourself for coming to Taiwan. Do you want a ticket for half past two in the morning?"
"Will someone watch a movie at this time? ”
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, there aren't many tickets left for the two-and-a-half show, you don't want to be gone in a few moments now. ”
", anyway, it's the weekend tomorrow, and it's okay to stay up all night, I bought it. ”
At the end of the premiere, Zhang Xiaoye sent Zou Wenhuai and others out in batches, and every time he could see the ticket office full of people, he smiled and listened with a sense of accomplishment, and others inevitably congratulated him in advance.
This is an unprecedented movie, and the shock it brings is also unprecedented, and countless fans would rather stay up late to wait in line to see it, which has never happened before.
Sending these big shots away one by two, Chenlong, as the main creator, stayed at the end, and said with a smile: "Yezai, look at this situation, we have at least won the battle." ”
"I'm sure every day will be good news. "The victory is just the beginning, Zhang Xiaoye is full of confidence.
And the fact is that as the reporters who attended the premiere reported all kinds of news, and those who watched the premiere boasted everywhere, the momentum of "Ace Agent" really reached its peak.
"An unprecedented, hearty movie. ”
"The ace agent is as unique as the premiere ceremony, and no one is not impressed by Zhang Xiaoye's imagination, whether it is in the movie or outside the movie. ”
"The grand premiere can be said to be booing, but the movie is definitely not booing, it can refresh your perception of the movie. ”
"Don't miss a single detail, because you're not just watching a great movie, you're looking at an era prologue. ”
"The movie is of international first-class level, Zhang Xiaoye's performance is impeccable, and there is a completely different Chenlong. ”
"After you've seen the princess's beautiful buttocks, please don't rush to leave after seeing the subtitles. ”
……
With such an overwhelming bombardment, "Ace Agent" raged like a virus for a week before slowly cooling down, during which newspapers and magazines wrote all the news that could be written, and almost no detail in the movie was missed.
A completely different Chenlong, under Zhang Xiaoye's request, Chenlong's style has converged to the extreme, the action is only cool and not exaggerated, only some details reflect the humorous side, the faint humor is not so strong, and it is indispensable from the perspective of the whole work, and it is just right.
For this feeling, Chenlong was very hard when he was filming, and the exaggerated and funny fights were completely easy for him, and it was not a problem to have serious hard bridges and hard horses, this style was his first attempt, and it was not so easy to use.
He's not used to it, but he's known as the best Tataryu ever.
In addition to Chenlong, some trivial things also make people talk about it, after Zhang Xiaoye saved the world, with the remote help of Xu Jinjiang, he opened the secret room where the princess was imprisoned.
Then, the princess's beautiful buttocks flashed, and although she didn't stay on the camera for a long time, she didn't have a code at all, which was enough to make the audience enthusiastic under the foreshadowing of the plot.
There is no grading system in Xiangjiang now, so this scene also appears in a grand manner, adding a touch of bad taste on the basis of humor.
Long ago, Zhang Xiaoye discovered the secret room where the princess was imprisoned, and the princess said that if she saved the world, she could let him enter through the back door.
There is no back door in the secret room,The moment you see your buttocks, the audience will be able to understand what it means to enter through the back door,And the password of the secret room door is 2625,If you use the nine-square grid input method to type out, it is ****。
If there is a rating system now, "Ace Agent" is estimated to be rated as a Class III film, although there are no other erotic elements except for showing his buttocks, but it is not only this factor that affects the rating of movies, violence and gore are also the most important of them, and there are all of them, and there are even a lot of them.
It's just that the performance is still cool, and the gore is still a bit of a violent aesthetic in it.
Xu Jinjiang saw this scene on the plane through the monitoring screen, and sighed very seriously and turned off the monitor with a sense of joy. Then in the audience's unfinished mind, the end credits come out, but that doesn't mean the movie is all over.
This is also why some newspapers remind the audience not to leave in a hurry after seeing the princess's beautiful buttocks, because there are easter eggs after the subtitles. In later generations, Marvel likes to play this hand the most, and now Zhang Xiaoye is also full of novelty.
Halfway through the subtitles, it's still the bar where Chenlong played Shuai Guo once before, Zhang Xiaoye finally taught his villain stepfather a lesson, and said the classic line while closing the door, "If you don't know etiquette, you can't stand." ”
At this time, he seemed to be a real gentleman, and it was these small details that made ordinary audiences and professional critics alike flock to it, and they were tired of discussing it.
————
Zhang Xiaoye's home, he was drinking a bottle of champagne leisurely, and Ye Qianwen came out of the shower and said: "You just pretend to be forced in the movie, what are you pretending to be at home?"
The word pretending to be forced was naturally learned from Zhang Xiaoye, and Ye Qianwen also felt that this word was the most appropriate compared to being handsome, so Zhang Xiaoye said: "Others are a cigarette afterwards, I don't smoke, so of course I can only have a glass of wine afterwards." ”
"Fuck off. Ye Qianwen scolded and kicked her, but it was really weak and powerless, and it was not lethal at all.
Zhang Xiaoye said: "This is given by someone else, if you don't drink it, it's not a waste, it's a drink." ”
"A drink after the event seems to be good. Ye Qianwen poured herself a glass, she thought it was good, but Zhang Xiaoye was scolded when she said it, how could she be reasonable.
Meimei took a sip, as if she really felt it, Ye Qianwen said: "Those Waifu filmmakers actually gave you champagne, I think they are very optimistic about the prospects of your movie, right?"
Of course, an unprecedented movie needs an unprecedented box office to be justified, and if it hits the street like those blockbusters of Golden Harvest, how can it boast with confidence.
"Ace Agent" was released more than a month after its release, becoming the first film to gross more than 30 million, with a total box office of 36.82 million.
How is the foreign market of a movie, it can be seen from the local performance, so it will be used as the pricing standard, the movie is so popular in Xiangjiang, those foreign filmmakers are also shocked after watching it, even if they don't look at any data, only analyze it based on their own feelings, it is expected that they will only make money and will not lose money.
Zhang Xiaoye has become a fragrant bait, he has money to make when he is around, in order to have a good relationship with him, he can be said to do everything, about eating, dancing, bathing, about playing, everything, if he didn't push him 48 hours a day, he wouldn't be able to socialize.
These Ye Qianwen also saw it in their eyes, so she said: "Fortunately, you pushed it, if you dare to fool around and see how we clean you up." ”
This kind of thing, whether it's eating or playing, is indispensable for women to have fun in the end, which has basically become an unspoken rule, if you don't serve the other party comfortably, how can you get what you want?
Zhang Xiaoye was not interested in these, of course he pushed them all, and said: "I'm stupid to go out to find wild women because of your existence, are those women as beautiful as you? Are you famous? Are you in good shape? Are you alive? Well, this may really exist, after all, people are professional." ”
"Why don't you die. Ye Qianwen glared and scolded, and then continued: "If you have the ability, you can try to compare it yourself, anyway, I am going to Taiwan tomorrow, out of sight and out of mind." ”
Zhang Xiaoye grinned and said, "Actually, I'm going to Taiwan too, so it's better to try it on you." ”
