Chapter 491: Missing Genre Piece
The big hit of "Dragon Gate Inn" has set off a boom in martial arts films, and the dialogues of those characters in the film have also become the most talked-about topic nowadays!
However, it is still the same truth, some people are happy and some are sad!
Among the films released at the same time, the film "Dragon Gate Inn" attracted the most attention at the beginning of filming, which naturally included Tang Feng, but more because of the lineup of this film and the theme of its martial arts films!
Coincidentally, among the films released at the same time, there is another film, which is also attracting attention! Even to some extent, it is more anticipated by fans than "Dragon Gate Inn"!
The name of this film is "Interstellar Unbounded", it is a science fiction film, in terms of lineup, this film is indeed not as good as "Dragon Gate Inn", with four major actors and actresses joining!
But this film is a trinity film! Self-written, self-directed and self-acted!
And this self-written, self-directed and self-acting person can also be said to be famous in the film and television industry, he is an actor, he is the Dragon Film Award actor, and he won the Best Director Award of the Dragon Film Award!
It can be said that in the entertainment industry, his fame even surpasses that of Lu Chuan, one of the four major directors!
Ma Qianli, who is an actor and the best director, has a nickname called 'Maxima' in the entertainment industry!
Moreover, this Maxima is only thirty-eight years old, and at the age of thirty-eight, he has already won the best actor and the best director, and the best director at the age of thirty-eight is not much!
However, this Maxima's films have always been art-based films, but they have not done much at the box office!
Most of the movies in which Ma Qianli plays the protagonist are biased towards literature and art, and the same is true of the movies filmed! Winning this honor before the year of confusion, Ma Qianli is naturally arrogant!
Maybe it's because all the time. Ma Qianli's movies have not done much at the box office, so commercial film investors have always been looking for Ma Qianli, and most of those who are looking for Ma Qianli to shoot films are going for awards! This made Ma Qianli very dissatisfied!
Since he can achieve such achievements in art, he is confident that commercial films can also succeed!
Or don't do it. If you want to do it, you will do the best, this is Ma Qianli's life motto!
At the beginning, Ma Qianli revealed that he intended to turn to commercial films, although many investors came to the door, but without exception they were all small-budget films, which naturally made Ma Qianli satisfied!
So he came up with the idea of investing himself, and Ma Qianli has also had a lot of savings over the years, with Ma Qianli's status. The movies he invested in and shot himself definitely don't need to worry about whether they can be released in theaters like those small independent film companies!
Three in one? No, he either doesn't do it, or he wants to do his best, so he directly integrates the four, invests himself, and writes the screenplay himself. Directed by yourself, starring by yourself!
Since it is necessary to make a blockbuster in commercial films. Then the choice of subject matter is exquisite!
Sci-fi films have always been a missing genre film in China, if martial arts films were once popular and now in decline, then in China, science fiction films can't even talk about the decline, because there is no decent sci-fi film in China at all!
Others don't dare to shoot, so I'll shoot it for a long time!
Ma Qianli is not the kind of talker. Otherwise, he would not have been able to achieve such an achievement without confusion!
Therefore, since he chose to make a sci-fi film, Ma Qianli began to retreat and watched those successful foreign sci-fi films non-stop. Research science fiction materials!
In the end, it took three months to write the script for "Star Unbounded"!
The script came out, and Ma Qianli, with great confidence, announced that he would invest 50 million Chinese yuan from his own Maxima Film and Television Company, write the screenplay, direct himself, and star in this "Interstellar Unbounded"!
As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of the entire film and television circle, and it was said that Ma Qianli could not do what others could, dare not dare to get involved in science fiction movies! There are also those who watch Ma Qianli, and directly say that he should go and play literary movies, commercial movies and literary movies are two different things, not to mention science fiction films!
It can be said that in terms of publicity, "Star Unbounded" was a success and successfully attracted people's attention!
50 million is definitely a big production for an ordinary film, but for science fiction films, this amount of money is really not enough to watch!
It's not that no one has tried science fiction films, Huatian Film and Television, a famous film and television giant in China, once spent a huge amount of 200 million Chinese dollars to shoot a science fiction film, but unfortunately, the box office reputation was miserable! Since then, few people have been willing to touch this subject!
Even if there is, it's just some low-cost soft sci-fi, but there are no successful cases, and over time, no one wants to get involved in this thankless genre film anymore!
Ma Qianli is not very impressed with Tang Feng, because although Tang Feng has risen quite quickly in the entertainment industry, he is just a new newcomer in the film industry!
Tang Feng pulled the actor and the big director to create a gimmick, and the news that he was going to shoot a martial arts film was very loud, and Ma Qianli naturally heard about it, but he didn't pay too much attention to it!
It's just that I didn't expect that "Interstellar Unbounded" would collide with "Dragon Gate Inn"! Moreover, the result was that Ma Qianli had high hopes for it, hoping to prove that he could do the best in commercial films, "Interstellar Unbounded", which was miserable!
In the past, it was common for Ma Qianli to shoot movies to fail at the box office, but they were often recognized by the literary and artistic circles, but this time, not only was the box office miserable, but it was swept away by "Dragon Gate Inn", and it was almost scolded in terms of word of mouth!
"Is this also a science fiction movie? Are you kidding me? Could it be that this is the new genre of legend? Sci-fi literary films? I'm going to have a big fork! ”
"Maxima? The whole film, I don't know what to do, I thought that even if the plot was scum, the special effects should be a bit interesting, but I didn't expect that it was such a five-cent special effect, which blinded me for the money of a movie ticket! ”
"Sci-fi? Don't tease me, okay, this special thing is also called a science fiction movie? I thought that the movie of the trinity of the best director and actor should be a little interesting, but I didn't expect that Lao Tzu fell asleep bored halfway through it! ”
The first-day box office of "Dragon Gate Inn" was 30 million, while the first-day box office of "Star Unbounded" was only 3 million!
After that, the box office of "Dragon Gate Inn" continued to rise, but the box office of "Interstellar Unbounded" plummeted! Not only did he fail at the box office, but he also scolded him!
is also in the spotlight, originally, before the release, the media also deliberately took out "Dragon Gate Inn" and "Interstellar Unbounded" for comparison, who would have thought that the result would be that "Interstellar Unbounded" would be vulnerable?
You must know that before this, when Ma Qianli was interviewed by the media, he said wildly that "Interstellar Unbounded" would make up for the lack of Chinese science fiction genre films! I didn't expect the result, but it made people's jaws drop! (To be continued.) )
