Chapter 103: Find Lao Mouzi!
The director of the original Korean version of "International Market" is Yoon Ji-kyun, who is also the director of "Haeundae". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They set the beginning of the story in the Korean War in 1950, and then interpreted the mediocre but wonderful life of an ordinary person through ordinary people.
If you put aside some hard injuries such as makeup, the movie itself is very good, the story is not only based on family, friendship, love and other human feelings, but also from time to time to stir the anti-war nerves, which makes people moved and angry.
Of course, Shen Lin couldn't copy the original plot, and even he changed the background.
Directly set the protagonist Chen Li as a Teochew born in the 50s, because he was too poor, so a family of five decided to swim to HK to beg for a living, but unfortunately, the younger brothers and sisters were not good at water, and their father used up his last strength to save them, and fell into the turbulent Xiangjiang.
Because of his father's entrustment before entering the water, "If your father is not there, you are the parent, you must protect your family", Chen Li became the pillar of the family.
In order to pay for his younger brother's tuition, Chen Li and his friend Leonardo da Vinci went to West Germany to work as dispatch miners, and died in a mining accident, but met Meiying, a nurse who also came to West Germany, and the two fell in love and returned to HK together to get married.
But soon because he couldn't get his sister's dowry, he set foot on the land of Vietnam...
In short, the plot after that hasn't changed much, except that the story setting has been changed to China.
Shen Lin has no way to direct such a movie.
First of all, if there is a slight deviation, you will not pass the review!
But once you avoid all the sensitive points, the movie becomes a chronicle of running accounts!
But if you just grasp the core of the script, the movie becomes a preach, forcing people to remember history!
Such a film will definitely not be popular, like "Heroes".
So, the humor in it must be kept!
The friendship between Chen Li and Da Vinci, the family relationship between his sister, and the love between the United States and Britain must all be reflected in the movie.
A 120-minute movie tells the story of a person's life, and the audience has to be immersed in it!
Shen Lin can't do it!
In the whole of China, there are only a handful of directors who can meet the appeal requirements and make this movie, maybe only one!
Zhang Yimou!
Many people are unhappy with Lao Mouzi, saying that he only plays with color, I just want to send a sentence hehe!
Even "Three Guns", which was rated as Lao Mouzi's worst work, is because the Northeast Gang is too dramatic, if you change the actors, it is definitely a good cult movie!
To put it mildly, the movie that Lao Mouzi made with his eyes closed is one more Chen Kaige than Lu Chuan!
"Brother Bo, if you really like this script, let's go to Director Zhang together, only if he makes a move, this movie may become a classic!"
Shen Lin suggested directly.
"Okay, then I'll go change now!"
Huang Bo instantly agreed.
It seems that this thing has already considered Lao Mouzi, otherwise he would not have agreed so quickly.
"No, we still have a scene to film, don't be so anxious. I'll call first to try Director Zhang's tone, you wait for my call, at most a week!"
This is also too anxious, let's not talk about whether Lao Mouzi agrees or not, Nima, it's okay to rush up directly?
The key is that Huang Bo still hasn't filmed yet!
"Okay, then I'll find Xiao Chen and let her focus on filming my scene first, you remember to call me, and we'll go to Jijun together when the time comes!"
Well, Lao Mouzi has been staying in Jijun recently, with the name of seven gourd babies and his father!
Probably negotiated the 'deal' between the two, Shen Lin followed Huang Bo to find Chen Yang, after all, as a producer, how could there be a reason to ignore the director when he arrived at the crew.
If outsiders see it, they still think that there is a conflict between the producer and the director!
There was nothing to say, and after chatting a few words, Shen Lin offered to leave.
……
On November 20, the 3D authoritarian "2012" was released shockingly - only released in Chinese mainland, and it is clear that it is money!
This time, most of the Chinese audience learned wisely, and 'only' contributed 127 million yuan.
On November 23, director Ang Lee's new work "Life of Pi" also premiered in China.
It's amazing that the box office actually harvested 40 million on the same day! And the box office has grown against the odds for a week, when did a movie containing philosophy actually harvest so much box office in Chinese mainland?
Not only were some domestic media shocked, but even Lao Mei felt strange, because "Youth Pi" only received $30 million at the box office in North America, but in China it received 571 million yuan, which is synthesized into US dollars, nearly 100 million!
What's even more speechless is that the Douban score of this movie is as high as 9.0!
Various film critics, including a pair of netizens, desperately interpreted the movie metaphors, said philosophical movies, and madly despised those viewers who couldn't understand "Life of Pi" and didn't like to watch this movie!
I'm going to co-author, I have to buy a book and study it before I watch a movie?
So why is Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" only 6.2?
I can't even read "One Step Away"!
Feng Xiaogang's two-year-old masterpiece "1942" was released on November 29, and on the same day, director Lu Chuan's proud work "The King's Feast" was released.
The release of two big movies at the same time kicked off the New Year!
Although "1942" crushed "The King's Feast" at the box office on the first day, the fate of the two movies is almost the same, of course, the box office of "1942" reached 372 million, even if it loses, it only loses tens of millions, compared to the "Tai Chi" two-part series, it is definitely a big profit!
At least the reputation of this movie is okay, and it also proves that director Xiaogang has a deep movie.
As for Lu Chuan's "King's Feast", hehe.
Not only is the word-of-mouth rotten to the extreme, but even the box office has lost to grandma's house, and the loss of a "King's Feast" has almost surpassed that of "Tai Chi"!
Fortunately, "Blood Drops", which was released in December, is at the bottom, otherwise, these two movies really have no way to live!
A brief introduction to the so-called first wonderful movie "Blood Drops" in 2012.
"Infernal Affairs" director Liu Weiqiang directed, who are the actors: Golden Horse actor Ruan Jingtian, mainland king Huang Xiaoming, HK next generation hope Yu Wenle, superstar Li Yuchun, by the way, and Jing Boran and heraldry!
The cinema chain is also very powerful, with a scheduling rate of nearly 20% on the first day.
It's a pity that due to the attendance rate and word-of-mouth being too stinky, "Blood Drops" hanged.
It sucks!
(The top of the annual bad movie list, the lifetime bad movie list is firmly in the top five, surpassing "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" and "Wuji".) The only movie that exited halfway through, if there were negative stars, I really wanted to give ten - this is my personal experience!)
In fact, as early as when Chen Kexing supervised and chose Liu Weiqiang as director, he showed the bad movie - everyone knows that Chen Kexing uses his own team and puppet directors to make money.
As a result, "Blood Drops" met "Zodiac" and "Thai Embarrassment", these two movies are more ruthless than "Painted Skin 2", "Batman" and "Spider-Man" combined.
In the end, the box office of "Blood Drops" only received more than 61 million, but the investment was as high as 150 million!
Xingmei Media was unlucky in 2012, "Blood Drops" and "The King's Feast" two movies, if it weren't for the support of the theater chain, it is estimated that these two movies would be able to bankrupt it!
In addition, Chen Kexing and Liu Weiqiang saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned to overseas markets, and finally "Blood Drops" reached 5,000 US dollars at the box office in North America!
Rotten to the extreme!
