Chapter ******: Continuity
[Ask for a monthly pass!] 】
Compared with the excellent reputation of "Brokeback Mountain", "Memoirs of a Geisha", which can be called a luxury cruise ship in terms of lineup and investment, has encountered an iceberg.
The voyage of "Memoirs of a Geisha" was not an easy one. The positive and negative attitudes of the North American media have made its chances of being nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture plummet. "The Hollywood Observer" is the most pertinent sound: "An American novel about Japanese culture, directed by Rob Marshall, in the style of Broadway, starring a Chinese actress speaking English as a Japanese geisha...... The product of such cultural integration is inevitably not a literary masterpiece, but a beautiful commercial film that fully reflects the internationalization trend of the film market. ”
The main points of criticism of this film are: "failed to reproduce the world of geisha", "fell into Hollywood clichés", "The classical beauty of Oriental culture has become an inspirational film for ambitious modern women to survive in the cracks"...... Of course, despite the debate in the film critics over the work itself, they still unanimously dedicated their beautiful words to the luxurious and gorgeous beautiful images and Gong Li's "elegant and sharp" acting skills.
Sayuri in the first 50 minutes of the film is played by a young Japanese actor, and only Gong Li's role runs throughout.
Therefore, Gong Li, who signed up in the supporting actress unit, has a higher chance than Zhang Ziyi, the "heroine" who has fewer roles. And Oscar likes to perform with strong impact, so Chu Tao (played by Gong Li), who has exhausted the mechanism, is more ingenious than the tough Sayuri (played by Zhang Ziyi). What's more, Gong Li played a shrew in "A Generation of Demon Queens" ("Listening to Politics with a Curtain"), and she became hysterical and familiar with the road.
Coupled with the popularity of international actresses, the aura of Venice actresses ("Qiu Ju's Lawsuit"), and the freshness of shifting the focus of development to Hollywood ("Art", "Miami Vice", "Young Hannibal"), being shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress can be put on the agenda.
But none of this has much to do with Hu Yifei, and after the vacation, he entered the work state.
Directing special effects, as well as editing and soundtracks.
In this process, the domestic film industry has also begun to surge, and "Crazy Racing", as the highlight of the family film industry at the end of this year, will be released in the Chinese New Year. The New Year's blockbuster that confronts it is Chen Kaige's masterpiece "Wuji", which has been absent for a long time. Compared with the big-name star lineup of "Wu Ji", the joining of big names from China, Japan and South Korea, as well as the director Chen Kaige, and the noisy publicity posture, "Crazy Racing" is obviously not an order of magnitude.
This time, it was not directed by Hu Yifei himself, but changed to a screenwriter and director, and Hu Yifei only named a producer. The star cast is also very inferior, and the starring role is actually the black skin in "Crazy Stone", which immediately worries a kind of "crazy" fans.
The movie is about to premiere, and the whole film company is also busy, nervous with a little anxiety. It is completely impossible to compare with the time when he had Hu Yifei before, no matter how much disadvantage he had at that time, Hu Yifei could make the movie the focus and turn defeat into victory. But not this time, Ning Hao is not Hu Yifei, and his influence and propaganda ability are not far away.
"Mr. Han, isn't Boss Hu coming back this time?"
Even Ning Hao himself felt Alexander.
As a series of works, although he is confident that the film will not be worse than Hu Yifei's first movie, fans will naturally lean towards the previous work and compare this movie with "Stone". What's more, this time, he has to compete with the giant level "Wuji".
It's so stressful that I'm suffering from severe insomnia these days. Only then did Ning Hao feel how difficult it was for Hu Yifei to push a small-budget work to the point of 80 million at the national box office under that disadvantage.
Han Mi was also annoyed, and comforted him: "I'll call again to urge you." This guy can't even think about it in the United States...... Hum! ”
"Who's talking bad about me?"
As he was talking, a person walked in from outside the door, smiling.
Han Mi was overjoyed all of a sudden, and ran over and slapped his big breasts, "You guy, you're finally willing to come back." Hawaii vacation comfort, don't you forget about us old folks. ”
Hu Yifei grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." I just got off the plane and ran to the company, what do you want? Urged by three phone calls a day, my ears are almost calloused. He knows that on the domestic side, Han Mi's pressure is not small. Without Hu Yifei, she is at the helm alone, especially this year is a year of great development, many things are piled together, and it is not easy to shoulder so many projects to develop together at the same time.
was grabbed by Hu Yifei, Han Mi's face turned red, and the brush was withdrawn, and his eyes were a little red, "Forget you." ”
……
"Wu Ji" was released at the same time as "Crazy Racing", because there were no big stars here, reporters rushed to the red carpet of the premiere of "Wu Ji". How lively it is over there, there is also a white paper low-cut evening dress, and a meat-revealing bed scene.
Unexpectedly, before the premiere ended, I suddenly heard the news that Hu Yifei had appeared. The audience at the premiere of "Crazy Racing" was all excited, and they immediately regretted it beyond measure: What the hell is Hiroyuki Nakata and Zhang Dongjian, is there a finger of Fei Ge that is attractive.
The premiere scene of "Crazy Stone" is indeed crazy, since Hu Yifei's unexpected appearance, the rhythm of the scene has been all taken by him, and fans are like a festival. Hu Yifei hadn't seen so many faces with the same yellow skin and black eyes for a long time, and he was very happy, and he suddenly began to talk nonsense, "If this movie is not funny, all the movie theaters under the family theater chain are free." ”
"Roar, roar, roar, ......" fans suddenly fell into a carnival.
As for the movie starring Huang Bo and director Ning Hao, let's have fun on the side.
At the beginning of the movie, the scene really laughed from time to time.
The story structure is in the same vein as "Crazy Stone", multiple clues develop at the same time, and finally they meet by coincidence and ingenuity, forming such a seemingly absurd but surprising comedy story, and the most classic black humor elements are also played.
At first, fans' worries that Ning Hao would not be able to control the series of movies also disappeared, but they were a little surprised that it was not a sequel, but a new story, but as long as the movie was good.
Overall, this movie is much more luxurious than the work in the original time and space, whether it is cinematography, props or rhythm, it can be seen that Ning Hao has put a lot of effort into it. There are more jokes, and classic lines emerge in endlessly, which surprises fans, until the end of the movie and when they leave the cinema, they are still unsatisfied: "It's still the original recipe, it's still the original taste, Feige's production, it must be a high-quality product!" ”
Ning Hao also became an instant hit with this movie.
With the help of Hu Yifei's light, it is very likely to become one of the hundreds of millions of directors in China. In this way, the family film industry has a second director in the town.
Looking at the continuous praise on the Internet, fans seem to have returned to the crazy summer two years ago, and "Crazy Stone" has already accumulated a huge number of fans after two years of fermentation. Now that the new series of movies has been released, countless fans who are looking forward to it will no longer hesitate to go into the cinema to buy tickets.
It's just that on the other hand, "Wuji" is relatively bleak, with a Douban score of only 4.6 points, and the audience is scolded. "Shameless extreme, referred to as Wuji." "I don't know what to do, is it possible that the current big directors don't even know how to tell stories?" Zhang Yimou has degenerated, and Chen Kaige is even worse! spent so much money to make a big scene, but it was not even as good as the story in my Feige's small bank. "Laughing to death, if "Wuji" was filmed by Chen Kaige, "Farewell My Concubine" must be filmed by Chen Kaige's father, if "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed by Chen Kaige, "Wuji" must be filmed by Chen Hong. ”……
The veteran director who is well-known throughout the country has fallen into a crisis of confidence because of this play. (To be continued.) )
