Chapter 90: Poems in the Knife Bush

After the evening class, the students went back to their dormitories to rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Yi is more satisfied with the training effect of the evening class. If you persist in this way, the performance quality of the movie will definitely be greatly improved, and studying in Yanying will have this benefit.

Sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters, and taking the time to learn is indeed very effective.

Now it's up to us to see when we can get the crew together.

The slow preparation of the crew will really delay time.

I hope to meet Director Xu on Wednesday and have a satisfactory harvest.

Before going to bed, Zhou Yi deliberately went online to see last week's box office, and Monday's last week's weekend box office list must have come out.

The result was unexpectedly good, and even surprised Zhou Yi.

Originally, he was ready for the box office to plummet the next weekend, but the result did not plummet, and he collected 70 million yuan at the box office in three days last week, which was definitely not below the 50% benchmark compared with the first weekend, which is a very ideal situation. What's even more rare is that benefiting from the National Day holiday, in the first three days of last week, the box office was still strong, even exceeding the weekend box office.

Last week, the box office for the whole week was as high as 189 million Chinese yuan.

This box office result is fantastic, and it really gave Zhou Yi a big surprise, and he was really in a good mood.

I really didn't expect the box office to be so high the next week.

It seems that the work of the company's publicity department is really good.

In addition, the quality of the film is excellent, the wind fuels the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind, so that there can be such results.

Many fans who had not watched "Five Poisons" earlier, but now they have been affected by the publicity and have also gone to watch "Rushing Tower". There are also fans who saw "Five Poisons" on various video websites through the Internet on-demand, and when they were interested, they also went to watch Zhou Yi's new film.

In this way, the results of "Rushing to the Sky Tower" will rise.

At present, "Rushing Tower" has been released for two weeks and 11 days, with a cumulative box office of 357 million yuan, and in just two weeks, it almost exceeded the total box office of "Five Poison Gates". Of course, this is for the sake of the National Day, but it is also worth rejoicing, the box office of 500 million is absolutely stable.

However, due to the fierce box office harvest during the National Day holiday, it is estimated that the potential of this film will be almost exhausted in the first two weeks, and the box office will definitely plummet next, and it is impossible to have too high a single week box office. The first two weeks consumed the vast majority of the box office potential.

Now the score of the Fengshen List has dropped to 8.8 points, but it doesn't matter, at least "Pan Jinlian" is still pressed by it.

And the online praise is still overwhelming.

Zhou Yi casually flipped through various professional websites, and he could always see all kinds of wonderful movie reviews.

Another newcomer asked: "Why do so many people like this film on the Internet?" I haven't watched it yet, I only watched the trailer, and I think the scene is not big, it's a low-budget action movie, is it really so good-looking? Is it really good-looking, or is it water army propaganda? ”

Many enthusiastic netizens replied below.

"So many people say yes, of course it's really good. Does this need to be asked? If it's a water army, you can't see it? Some fans have already scolded. To see it, it is guaranteed to be worth the ticket price, needless to say. Even if I tell you it's good-looking, it's useless. You can't imagine how wonderful and classic its play is. You can see it yourself in the cinema and don't be fooled by the trailer. ”

"On the top floor, don't just watch the trailer."

"Some directors like to cut all the wonderful shots in the trailer, for fear that you won't see it and won't be attracted; Some directors don't like to put a lot of wonderful shots in the trailer, for fear of being seen by you, which will reduce the sense of anticipation of watching the movie. This film is the latter. The director's cut trailer is very restrained, even cheating. Many people think that the wonderful shots are in the trailer, but in fact, they think badly. ”

"The director is very confident and has a lot of personality."

"Director Zhao Zhichu is this habit, and the last film is also like this, it's not strange. When you watch his films, you can't just watch the trailer. His trailers have always been deep digging holes, suspense flowing, and belong to the traditional style, without stimulating the camera to attract the audience. ”

"The trailer shots are good, but far from the best shots, and there are very few really great shots. There are a lot of wonderful scenes at the end of the film, and there are no shots cut into it at all, friends who like to watch trailers don't be deceived by the director, just look at the audience's word-of-mouth. ”

Seeing that there are so many fans and fans who strongly recommend it, Zhou Yi is very relieved, the fans are too powerful.

As for "Thunderbolt Baby", which easily completed the weekend box office two consecutive dominations, Zhou Yi also paid attention to it.

Now Shui Yuexun's "Thunderbolt Baby" is still strong, the trend is strong, and the stamina is full, and it will definitely widen the gap with "Rushing to the Sky Tower" again, the box office has exceeded 700 million Chinese yuan, and the next week it is still sweeping thousands of troops, sweeping the box office, and the final total box office will definitely break the billion mark, that is not running.

But Zhou Yi is very satisfied with the box office of his film, there is no need to envy Shui Yuexun, he can have a good dream at night.

Before going to bed, Zhou Yi also took time to read the new version of the script of "One-armed Knife".

This version made by the screenwriting team has just been transmitted before, and Zhou Yi has not finished reading it yet.

Browse a little before going to bed, at least you know what to expect.

As soon as he watched the first few scenes, Zhou Yi felt very pleasantly surprised.

Today's version of the script's lines is completely in line with the appreciation habits of modern audiences, rather than the old-time style of the sixties in the previous life. Although Zhou Yi had noticed this problem when he was writing the first version of the script, it was impossible to do it perfectly due to time and energy, so he could only reluctantly make do with the script first, and the details were not considered carefully enough. The biggest shortcoming of the original work in the previous life, in addition to being limited to the times, the martial arts design is too old, that is, the dialogue is too contrived and empty, which may be Ni Kuang's rush work.

Now these dialogue defects have been completely made up by the screenwriter team, and they are done at a very high level.

The three screenwriters are indeed worthy of their salaries and bonuses.

And that's not all.

If it's just these small details fine-tuning and changing, Zhou Yi can do it himself, and he won't be surprised.

What really surprised Zhou Yi was that the three screenwriters injected a small and fresh literary atmosphere into this version of the script, which enhanced the romantic heroism in it, but did not affect the overall structure and style of the script at all, but made the whole script like a poem in the knife thicket, fresh and timeless and sharp, subtle and calm and murderous.

In the plot, there are not only the heroic heroes who "can hold a knife to others", but also the self-denial and forgiveness of "not relieving themselves"; There is not only the sadness and indignation of "enduring to see friends become new ghosts", but also the generosity and determination of "angrily looking for small poems in the knife bush".

The personality charm of the male protagonist jumps out.

Seeing the end, the decisive battle came, and the grandeur was revealed, it was really chivalrous and courageous, a true gentleman, cold and glamorous one-armed knife!

In order to match this overall style, the action design of the one-armed knife is destined to be cold and poignant. It is different from the poison of "Five Poison Gates", different from the tyrant of "Rushing to the Sky Tower", the one-armed knife is cold and sad because of its one-armed, this word is enough to describe everything.

What is especially rare is that the emotional scenes in the script are very exquisite.

Although the three screenwriters have not undergone major repairs, they are occasionally interesting, and it can be seen that they are very skilled in this area and have a lot of life experience.

It seems that the emotional drama of "Tai Chi Grandmaster" can also be a little more relieved.

From the chivalry of "Five Poison Gates", to the loyalty of "Rushing to the Sky Tower", and then to the love of "One-armed Knife", since Zhengdong completed the acquisition, the three consecutive low-cost action movies at the beginning really have their own characteristics and differences. Following the perfect adaptation of "Rushing to the Sky", the screenwriting team once again contributed a wonderful adaptation on the basis of the original work of "One-armed Knife", which can be described as ingenuity.

The scene and pattern of the whole film are really not big, but they are angry at the knife bush to find small poems.

Although it is a small poem, it is very exquisite, and that is enough.

No one would take it as an epic masterpiece.

If you have to go big, just like Tsui Hark's "Broken Knife" in the previous life, the perspective is too high, too far from tradition, it is too cruel, it can only be regarded as an immature experimental film, and it is not surprising that it failed at the box office at that time.

After all, this genre can't afford too heavy a theme.

Zhou Yi knows this very well.

He has always moved closer to the mainstream audience, and he will never engage in films like Tsui Hark in his previous life that proved to be a failure.

The forbearance and righteousness, benevolence and forgiveness embodied in this "One-armed Knife" are all things that mainstream audiences can accept. This is similar to "Rushing Tower", don't look at the bloody and brutal fighting scenes in "Rushing Tower", but the values embodied in it are acceptable to mainstream audiences.

In his previous life, Tsui Hark's "Broken Knife" was not good, that film was too hot, like going crazy.

It's too much, and it has nothing to do with the action in the film.

When the seasoning is put to the extreme, the dish will naturally change its flavor.

The director's personal style is extreme, and he will naturally feel alienated and strange from ordinary audiences.

Although the action scenes in that film are extremely violent and cold, which is indeed amazing, the characters in the film are extremely crazy, and the overhead world is extremely distorted, and the action scenes are less one-armed and more brutal and irritable. can't say that such a shot is not good, it can only be said that the director's thinking is too radical and advanced, and the plot is too cruel, and the mainstream audience can't accept it at all.

It is natural that Zhou Yi does not use the filming method of this film.

or the original "One-Armed Knife" is better and more suitable for mainstream audiences.

The protagonist Fang Gang is the son of a domestic servant and has little reading, but he is good-natured, simple and honest, and has deep affection, which is exemplary.

The master Qi Rufeng was worried that he would inevitably hinder his heart when he witnessed his father's tragic death at the hands of vengeful thieves when he was a child, so he often taught him: "You can hold a knife to people, and you can't hold your body." "Very simple verses, but intriguing. The master hopes that Fang Gang can eliminate violence and peace on the outside, and cultivate his self-cultivation on the inside. We must remove the violence of others, but also the violence of our own hearts. The knife is a murder weapon, if you can't cultivate yourself, sooner or later you will eat yourself. Everyone can take a knife and point it at others, that's easy, as long as there is a puppet with blood, but how many people can use a knife as a mirror to take a picture of their soul? That requires the wisdom of life like the hero Qi Rufeng. The theme of the film is deepened and sublimated.

It's a pity that this hero only taught Fang Gang, but forgot to teach his daughter and other apprentices.

Fang Gang learned very well, but he was the only one who learned well.

This happened to cause the tragedy of his broken arm.

But because he learned well, after breaking his arm, he was still able to find the love of his life, and finally repay his teacher's kindness, withdraw from the rivers and lakes hand in hand, and stay away from right and wrong. There is no straightforward over-preaching in the script, but it is subtle and expressed in another form, which is very exquisite. This form of expression is as timeless as a small poem, it is indeed a poem in the knife bush, and it is a rare bright color in the whole text. In terms of screenwriting, this film does not focus on scenes, but only on feelings, especially the words of the actor Fang Gang, which is a good poem in itself: I repaid my teacher's kindness today, and I will go to the end of the world from now on to be a farmer.

At least Zhou Yi was very satisfied, and the three screenwriters really lived up to expectations, and their contributions were not small.

However, their salary in Zhengdong Pictures is indeed very high, even if they adapt the script, there will be a lot of bonuses and dividends at the end of the year, which is definitely higher than the treatment given to screenwriters by other second-tier companies, but they do have real talent and learning, which is worthy of Zhengdong Pictures' high price.

This makes it difficult for other small companies to poach them.

Respect for talents, the company can prosper.
