Chapter Seventy-Four: Red-Eyed

"Embroidered Spring Knife" is certainly not a classic as a martial arts movie, and it is even a certain distance from being excellent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether it is the construction of the script or the performance of the actors, there is an obvious gap with Xu Laowei at his peak.

To give a very simple example, when it comes to Aunt Qingxia now, the first impression is that the East is undefeated, but when Zhang Zhen is mentioned reversely, will Shen Lian come to mind?

This is a direct manifestation of the characters not entering the hearts of the audience.

In the original time and space, the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" failed to break 100 million, which was very disappointing, and even many people said that 'domestic martial arts are dead'.

But to be honest, when "Embroidered Spring Knife" was released, the biggest failure was not because the publicity was not in place, of course, the lack of publicity did have a deep impact, but it was actually released on the same schedule as "The White-Haired Witch"!

It's puzzling!

"The White-Haired Witch" has broken the hearts of almost all martial arts lovers!

You chose this node to be released, are you looking for a draw?

Fortunately, most of the viewers' evaluation of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is 'not bad!'

The effect of word-of-mouth also caused the film schedule to continue to rise, and finally reaped a box office result of 93.22 million.

For director Lu Yang, he is already very satisfied, at least to save the capital!

But this is not enough for a costume martial arts movie that can be rated as 'not bad'!

Why do you emphasize the words "costume martial arts"?

Let's pull a film list, from 2010 to 2014, no, by 2017, all costume movies are either fantasy costume films like "The Four Famous Catches" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", or so-called costume war films like "Hongmen Banquet" and "Yang Jiajiang", and then all kinds of big bad movies with modern nondescript in their bones wearing the suits of previous dynasties!

There are only a handful of costume martial arts movies that can really be watched.

Here I want to mention a few films of Xu Laowei, although it is laborious, but they are not too flattering, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" played the memory card, but it broke the hearts of most fans, "Di Renjie" wore a martial arts coat and carried a full pocket of Detective Conan, won at the box office, but lost word of mouth.

By the way, there is another martial arts movie that has to be mentioned in 10 years, "Rain of Swords"!

……

"On August 21st, the martial arts masterpiece "Embroidered Spring Knife" directed by me and directed by newcomer director Lu Yang will be released nationwide, please support me! My vision, you should know, if it is not a very good script, I will not agree to be a producer!"

This was followed by the release of the trailer.

The trailer was edited according to Shen Lin's intentions, and the original version actually focused on love!

I don't know if "The Ballad of the Desert" and "Step by Step Horror" have been released recently?

Liu Sisi gathers all kinds of black fans, should it be 2012?

The show is funny!

Shen Lin's trailer for this version is a collection of all kinds of knife drawings, the eldest brother Lu Jianxing's two-handed goose wing knife, the second brother Shen Lian Yanling knife, and the younger brother Jin Yichuan make a short knife!

Especially Zhang Zhen, with a cold face and professional skills!

Sue with a capital letter!

"Wow! the male god is so handsome!"

"Uniform temptation!

Zhang Zhen is really a pity, damn it, the king of sunglasses is not shallow!

……

Nothing can be truly liked by the whole people, except for the yuan.

As of August 14, 20 days after its release, the box office successfully exceeded 2.3 billion, becoming the champion in mainland film history.

And according to this box office trend, it is very likely to get a box office result of 2.7 billion in the end!

If this is the case, "Super Body" will successfully enter the top 30 in global film history, after all, the overseas results are very gratifying, as of now, the North American box office of "Super Body" has reached 190 million, infinitely close to 200 million, and the performance of other regions is not far behind, with a total global box office of 920 million US dollars!

An investment of less than $40 million has returned more than $900 million!

This ROI is a record high in the directing industry1

Huayi's Wang Zhonglei was taken out and whipped again, and many people know that it was because of Wang Zhonglei's words that Shen Lin did not cooperate with Huayi, and turned to cheap light.

Wanda is also very painful, they wanted to guarantee the issuance, but unfortunately they were only willing to offer 1.8 billion, and Shen Lin bit 2 billion and did not let go, there was no way, they could only give money according to the normal distribution ratio!

There are a lot of movies released in August, after all, it is a summer file.

Most of them are romance films, after all, it's the traditional Tanabata Festival!

"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven", "Don't Say Break Up Again", "Where Were You When I Want to Get Married", as well as "Pure Desire", "There Is a Kind of You Love Me", "0.5 Love", "Love Evolution", "Temporary Cohabitation"

There are too many, except for "The White-Haired Witch", which always occupies the theater schedule, most of the other movies are three-day tours of the theater.

By the way, there is also an anime movie adapted from a big IP that has been released, "Qin Shi Mingyue: The Dragon Soars Ten Thousand Miles", but unfortunately it only got less than 60 million at the box office, and the investors are estimated to have cried and fainted in the toilet!

Compared with "How to Train Your Dragon 2", which is also an animated movie, even if it is the Chinese dubbed version of the pit father, it is much better than "Qin Shi Mingyue Dragon Teng Wanli"!

By the way, there is also a "Pompeii Doomsday" that will also be released in August, but unfortunately Chinese audiences have never had any love for Hollywood epics!

In addition to "The Expendables 3", which will be released on August 20, and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Dawn of War", which will be released on August 29, there is basically no movie that can pose a threat to "Super Body"!

I almost forgot that the finale of Deng Chao and Liu Baozi's "Four Famous Catches" is finally about to be released!

The whole world celebrates, the peerless bad movie is finally over!

"Super Body" swept for a month.

Even the tail blocked "The Expendables 3"!

It won an unprecedented box office of 2.8 billion in the first month of its release!

A lot of people are dissatisfied!

"What kind of movie can have such a high box office?"

"Shen Lin, you are overdrawing your credibility!"

"As a director, I don't want to make some educational and thought-provoking works, I just want to make money, to paraphrase the sentence you used to describe Guo Xiaosi, 'Why don't you let your fans crowdfund you?'"

Originally, it was just a few critical voices, but later it accumulated more and more, and the Internet was full of voices criticizing Shen Lin from various big V seniors.

"You have to be an artist, with your level, you shouldn't pursue this kind of shoddy commercial film!"

"A director, if he doesn't have the heart to pursue art, he will be quickly eliminated by the audience!"

A bunch of senior filmmakers teach all kinds of words and deeds, if you just listen to what they say, you may think that "Super Body" is a big bad movie, and director Shen Lin is at a low point in his life.

Ay!

Hollywood movies won more than 200 million at the box office, what did you say?

You say that Hollywood itself is the best in the world, it is awesome! Now that Shen Lin has won more than 200 million at the box office, do you say that he has not pursued it?
