Chapter 429: Reflection

In fact, here in Su Li, he feels that some people's views are not wrong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It has been almost six years since I entered the entertainment industry, from the first movie "Nightclub. Supermarket" has been around for five years now.
After that, his road in the entertainment industry can be said to have been smooth sailing, and he has hardly encountered any setbacks. In terms of films, "Nightclub. Supermarket", "Source Code", "Inception", and "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers" are more influential than the other, and each has received praise from people. And now "Fighting Martial Arts" has been criticized by some people, this is his first time!
It also gave him a head start...... After so long of smooth sailing, there have been some indescribable slight changes in his mentality, and such changes are likely to bring a series of consequences that he doesn't really want to see.
Now that the time has come, Su Li's goal is naturally impossible to live a good life as an ordinary high school student and college student before, find a fairly good job, and then spend his life in peace. I don't want to have my own place in the entertainment industry like when I first entered the entertainment industry...... Now his goal is to do a good job in this aspect, hoping to make Chinese films develop slowly through his subtle influence.
If you don't want Chinese films to take off, you can see from the Chinese film market, which is still noisy but still has not many good films, that Chinese films are still too far and too far to take off.
It's just that many things are also proving to people that there is still hope for Chinese films now, and hope lies in the younger generation of directors, first of all, Su Li, who represents the direction of Chinese cinema and the pinnacle of Chinese cinema. Secondly, some young directors who have gradually grown up under the influence of Su Li in recent years, and some excellent small-budget film works have also emerged: "Piano of Steel", "Going Home for the New Year", "Dolls" and other films have put some waves into the Chinese film market, which was originally a pool of stagnant water and only began to come alive after Su Li.
Therefore, Su Li's goal is to go in this direction, at least to make Chinese films much better than they are now, and after the establishment of the Pan-East Asian Film Alliance, take advantage of the current trend to move forward.
This is what Su Li wants, of course, this does not mean that Su Li is not allowed to make even the slightest mistake, but that he will try to avoid showing his weaknesses in front of everyone in the future...... Now he can't afford to lose at all, and he can't afford to lose Chinese movies.
This "Fighting Martial Arts" is a wake-up call for him.
The movie "Zhu Xian", he really doesn't want to smash it, he doesn't want to smash it at all...... This film is by far the most influential Xianxia novel in the publishing industry, with a huge fan base, and after the filming of "Zhu Xian", it is the opening up of a new theme that Su Li expected, and then the discourse film will have a broader stream of new power.
The filming of "Zhu Xian" is not only a process of getting the novel out of the audience's ideas and turning it into a good film, but also a huge change in China's cultural industry circle. In the future, an industrial chain can gradually rise because of this movie, more foreigners will also discover Chinese treasures, and after that, the road of Chinese films will be smoother.
It is precisely because "Zhu Xian" carries too many expectations of Su Li that he has been cautious, and the date of the official start of the launch has been pushed back and again, carefully.
And now, there is a situation where the "Douwu" reviews are arguing, and Su Li has found some weak parts in himself even more, and he has to work hard to overcome these things.
That is, after some problems appeared in "Douwu", some problems in "Zhu Xian" suddenly became clear...... In the past, he was always thinking about how to make the movie "Zhu Xian" to be able to adjust it well, but now he found that his previous self had walked into a misunderstanding, that is, he wanted to promote his ideas too much, which could lead to the collapse of a movie in the end!
He originally wanted to add too much understanding and private goods between himself and the author of that book in "Zhu Xian", but now it seems that some places have a taste of worrying about new words, which is not suitable for that at all! In this movie, the more important thing is the word Xianxia, and if you want to win a big victory at the box office, the key is to look good. In the previous screenwriters, Su Li made a mistake of deliberately emphasizing the philosophical flavor of this movie, which caused a certain conflict between the plot and special effects.
Now that he has the experience of "Fighting Martial Arts", he already has a plan in his heart.
The philosophical flavor of "Zhu Xian" must naturally exist, but it can't be deliberately philosophical for the sake of philosophy, and questions for the sake of problems...... It should all come naturally.
For example, Su Li originally planned to promote the theme of 'Heaven and Earth are unkind and all things are used as dogs', and in order to elaborate on some Taoist and natural themes in this film, and enhance some contrasts, but now he finds that this is completely unnecessary...... It should be discarded.
This is a new idea he has of his own, so some of the problems in "Fighting Martial Arts" made him start to better reflect on his current strength, which also increased the chance of making "Zhu Xian" a great success.
"Fighting Martial Arts" continues to move forward amid some controversies, but the box office has not been affected by these controversies, but has been moving forward. After the end of the second week, the film still topped the mainland box office charts, counting the 180 million box office received in the first week, the box office of "Douwu" reached 150 million in the second week, and the total box office reached 330 million in two weeks.
In the third week, "Douwu" continued to be released nationwide, and this week, the attendance in movie theaters was still high, and the number of moviegoers was still high. By the end of the third week, the total box office of "Fighting Martial Arts" reached 450 million, which is surprising enough to be put on the fire three years ago or on other directors, but now people have seen more of Su Li's blockbusters with amazing box office, and they are not too surprised by this box office.
When "Douwu" was drawn, the total box office in Chinese mainland reached a considerable 630 million, which is somewhat inferior to "Inception" and "Pot Breaking Mountains and Rivers". It's just that this is much better than Su Li's expectations.
"Fighting Martial Arts" has also been widely praised in China, and foreigners have not had the same problems as Chinese fans, although some people are questioning, but their voices are not loud. After all, many of Su Li's metaphors, most of which can be seen are Chinese fans.
Therefore, everyone in foreign countries praised this movie as an unimaginable magical creation.
This movie is not an American superhero, but they also have the magical ability to fly off the wall, and after this movie, the craze of Chinese kung fu has a little more craze in the world. Especially after foreigners saw some of the filming sites of "Fighting Martial Arts", the magical martial arts performances of Donnie Yen and Su Li, the popularity of Chinese kung fu has increased.
In addition, many foreign fans were also pleasantly surprised to find that Su Li, a talented director and actor of the Cannes actor, had such good skills, which aroused the fantasies of many foreign women and the worship of many foreign young men.
As a result, Su Li's popularity has also reached a higher level, and those who like him have even more liked!
"Fighting Martial Arts" has indeed brought him a lot of benefits, and at the same time, this movie has also provided a certain foundation for the emergence of more incredible movies like "Zhu Xian" abroad, at least foreigners will not be so surprised and unacceptable after seeing "Zhu Xian".
Unlike American superhero movies, the abilities of people in Xianxia novels are not unique, but can be achieved by a large group of people through cultivation, which is a relatively difficult problem to solve.
But now with the foreshadowing of "Fighting Martial Arts", these problems will also be easier to solve.
―――――― on this day, some reporters asked Su Li about his views on the controversy of "Fighting Martial Arts", and Su Li confided in front of reporters: ""Fighting Martial Arts" is a movie that I have prepared for a long time, and I have been thinking about the script for a long time. I'm also more confident in this movie. ”
It can be seen that after the release of the movie, the picture effect and martial arts action of the movie have also been approved by everyone. It's just a little bit of a controversy about the artistry of this film, and I'd like to say that there are some places where I might be a little bit ill-conceived. After the controversy generated by this film, I discovered some of my shortcomings and was able to slowly learn to change. I would like to say that I am not too old now, there is still a lot of room for me, and I will try to improve myself in the future! ”
In fact, directors rarely admit their mistakes, not only for some of their reputation, but also for the sake of face. Su Li's current status is even a top director in the world, and he can still say such sincere words, which makes everyone impressed, and they feel that Su Li is indeed a very outstanding young man.
What's more, as he said, he is only 25 years old now, and many well-known directors can't even touch the camera at his age! Su Li himself already has such strong achievements and abilities, and Su Li's future will definitely be bright.
He still has a lot of time to change himself.
After this incident, Su Li's popularity rose again, and it was a little strange that some people who used to be black Su Li slowly began to change their direction after this incident.
―――――― news of the foreign box office of "Douwu" has gradually come back, counting the box office of Asia, America, Europe and other countries and regions in the world, the total foreign box office of "Douwu" has reached 2.5 billion yuan.
After counting the domestic box office, the total box office of "Douwu" still reached 3.1 billion, and such a strong box office result still made many people swallow their saliva...... After all, almost all the shares obtained from here are the profits of Li Guang Entertainment Company, because the film has long recovered its costs.
