In May, which began with Labor Day, the film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" produced by Huayi Brothers and adapted from Zhang Tan's novel of the same name was grandly released. The movie is under the banner of Tan-style martial arts, but the content of the creation and adaptation are more serious, and the screenwriting team of Luying did not participate in the creation.

Basically, in terms of movies, Zhang Tan did not follow the TV series and firmly checked the script by himself, because he was sure of the TV series, but the movie did not.

The only movie that is checked is his first adaptation of "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing", he borrowed more bridges from the future, melted into a furnace, and wrote a fairly good script. The subsequent Douban score of the movie was only 6.1 points, which was unsatisfactory, which also made Zhang Tan doubt the level of his screenwriting films.

simply don't care how others adapt their own movies, sell the copyright, just let others toss, and concentrate on their own movies.

Anyway, now the fame of Tan-style martial arts has long been in full swing, and he is not afraid of some failed adaptations.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that after the release of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" adapted by Huayi Brothers, it scored 5.2 points, the reputation was not good, and the box office was not good, after a month and a half of the release period, the total box office stopped at 95.756 million yuan, which failed to break 100 million.

However, the investment in the film is only 30 million, and this box office still earns, but it does not reach the expected level.

"If it weren't for the impact of the Olympic Games, the box office of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would not be so much, and it would not be difficult to break 100 million." The king will attribute the film's box office failure to the impact of the Olympics.

The audience didn't buy it, and generally thought that the adaptation was too bad: "Without the detective, you won't have anything!" ”

With one voice. It shows that in the past few years, Zhang Tan has created a great impression on everyone. It seems that he is the quality assurance of the work, and the good shooting of the film is the good telling of Zhang Tan's story. The poor shooting of the film is a random adaptation by others.

Even the king himself had this idea, and after the box office failure of the movie, he called Zhang Tan to complain, and kept complaining: "Ouch, brother, I really regret not asking you to write the script, I knew that those bullshit famous screenwriters were unreliable, if I asked you to write the script." It won't even be impossible to break 100 million. ”

"There is something to be earned, there is no loss, it's okay, movies are always risky." Zhang Tan said calmly.

"Next, we are going to sum up our experience and shoot "The Condor Heroes", do you have any good suggestions, now I am a mess and have no clue."

"Well, didn't you say before that you planned to make "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" into a trilogy?"

"I don't dare to shoot now. The word-of-mouth and box office are too bad, and it will take at least two years to delay. ”

"To be honest, I don't have any suggestions, after all, making movies is not something that can be made with a hot head, and I have had my own film plans in the past few years. For the time being, I have no plans to get involved in commercial martial arts movies, and the only advice I can give is to find a screenwriter who really understands martial arts. Write a good story. ”

"Well, that's it for now. I'll calm down and calm down and trouble you again. ”

"If you don't lose money, don't dwell on it and summarize the reasons for failure. Keep up the good work. ”

Two days ago, at the Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel, the 8th Chinese Film Media Awards were held.

The Chinese Film Media Awards is a media selection award established since 2000, sponsored by Southern Metropolis Daily, and jointly selected films released on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Although the southern media's butt in politics is very crooked, the entertainment sector has cooperated well with Zhang Tan in recent years, and Zhang Tan doesn't care about politics, so he doesn't care whether the other party's ass is crooked or not. "Southern Metropolis Daily" warmly invited, and guaranteed that Zhang Tan would arrive, and the award would be given.

There is cooperation, there are prizes, this face can still be given, Zhang Tan took Susa and set off to Xiangxiang.

With a total of 12 awards, "Crazy Stone" finally became the biggest winner of this year's Chinese Film Media Awards, winning four awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Fu Cheng).

Although this award has been established for a relatively short time, after all, it is an award selected by the media, and the news attention is still very high. After winning the award, many media flocked to Zhang Tan, including many Xiangxiang media.

A reporter from "Apple Daily" asked sharply: "Director Tan, the box office of Stone is very pitiful in Xiangxiang, do you feel ironic that a comedy that can't attract the audience and wins the best film and best director at the Media Awards?" ”

This question is quite mean.

Because "Crazy Stone" was previously released in Xiangxiang and screened for seven weeks, even if actor Liang Jiahuang supported the scene, Zhang Tan's martial arts were popular here, and it still only got a box office of 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be described as a fiasco.

In the face of the provocation of the Xiangxiang reporter, Zhang Tan smiled contemptuously: "First of all, the stones I photographed are for mainland audiences, and many of the contents are estimated to be incomprehensible to Xiangxiang audiences." Secondly, there should be a big barrier in terms of language, there are more dialects of Shishi, and the box office in the Cantonese market is generally not high. In the end, the performance of a city does not mean anything, the stone sold 200 million box office in the mainland, and our investment is only 5 million, and the 40 times return says it all. ”

The declining Xiangxiang Film Market, Zhang Tan really doesn't care much about it now, and it is almost difficult for movies made in the mainland to win much box office in Xiangxiang.

Even he, a mainland director who relies on martial arts and has a large number of fans in Xiangxiang, still can't change this state.

Then there is no need to force it.

The gains and losses of one city and one place are insignificant to him.

When he was a child, he liked to watch Xiangxiang movies, and there were Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan and other cattle at that time. Later, when I became an adult, I basically watched Hollywood blockbusters and enjoyed it, and then there were a few good domestic films worth watching, on the other hand, there were almost no eye-catching films in Xiangxiang movies.

Why care about the reaction of a declining market.

Zhang Tan's contemptuous gesture immediately angered many Xiangxiang media, and the reporter of "Apple Daily" pointed his voice to ask questions. But Zhang Tan ignored him at all and began to answer questions from another media outlet.

His goal is the sea of stars, not a shallow pond.

Zhang Tan ignored all the questions about finding thorns, but whenever he asked him questions about his new work, he answered them one by one, and did publicity in advance.

"My most recent work is a documentary, a food documentary, and there will be a 12-part documentary series, and a documentary in film format. At the end of the year, these two documentaries will be presented to everyone. As for my next film, it's probably a fun movie, but I haven't decided yet. ”

In the end, Zhang Tan pretended to be a little forced: "Sometimes, there are too many inspirations, and it is also troublesome, and I don't know which one to achieve first." (To be continued.) )

PS: It's the end of the month, if you have a monthly ticket that you haven't voted for, just throw it to Lao Bai, and there are recommended votes.
