Every year, before and after the Chinese New Year, it can be called the most lively schedule in China, but this year's situation is a little exceptional, due to the relationship between "Painted Skin", "Night Banquet", "Baby Project", and "Tokyo Trial" are all concentrated in September, September has become the most eye-catching schedule of the year.

But in comparison, even if they are inferior, the films in the Chinese New Year file are not much inferior, and there are also four high-profile Chinese films that have been released one after another during this period.

December 1 is an investment of 25 million, China Film Group's highlight of the year "The Ballad of Yunshui", this film is more literary and artistic in nature, and the investment is not large, but its main creative team can be called luxurious, the director is Yin Li, who won 40 million box office with "Zhang Side" the year before last, ranking ninth in the year, starring Chen Kun, Li Binbin, Xu Ruoxuan, three popular idol stars, and what is even more amazing is that the supporting cast of the film is staggering, Gui Yalei, Qin Han, Yang Guimei, Liang Luoshi, Zhang Zhiheng, Zhu Ying, There are several well-known actors who have been famous for a long time, even if it is a blockbuster, it is incredible that a small and medium-budget film can bring together so many stars from across the Taiwan Strait.

December 8 is this year's Wu Yusen's "Battle of Red Cliff", "The Battle of Red Cliff" is compared with the film level of "Red Cliff", and who wins and who loses between Wu Yusen and Lin Yuquan is really touching.

December 14th is Zhang Yi's return to the Chinese costume blockbuster after "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", with an investment of 260 million yuan, once again refreshing his personal film investment record, bringing together Zhou Yanfa, Gong Li, Liu Ye, Jay Chou and other big-name stars, it is definitely the second only Chinese blockbuster this year after "Painted Skin", and has repeatedly set zào records What kind of achievements will Lao Mouzi have this time, everyone is looking forward to it.

December 28th is Ning Hao's new work "Love Call Transfer", last year Ning Hao with the dark horse of "Crazy Stone", became a commercial director with unlimited potential in one fell swoop, and was pinned on high hopes, for Ning Hao's new work, the media and the public are more concerned, more importantly, in this film, there are twelve beauties with different styles, Xu Jinglei, Cheng Hao, Jiang Yan, Wang Luodan, Jiang Qingqing, Gong Beibi, Jiang Hongbo, Qin Hailu, Zeng Li, Li Binbin, Ning Jing, Che Yongli, so many beauties, It's a man, and it is estimated that he has the idea of going to the theater to feast his eyes.

The release of four blockbuster films will undoubtedly make the competition for the box office of this year's Lunar New Year stalls particularly fierce, but for movie fans, it is absolutely happy, they can go to the cinema almost every week this month to watch a good movie.

In everyone's expectations, the first week of December quickly came to an end, on the mainland weekly box office list from November 27th to December 3rd, "Ink Attack" in the second week of release received 23 million after winning 21 million last week, winning the weekly box office champion, and "The Ballad of Yunshui" released on December 1 had a good box office, receiving 7.28 million box office, ranking second. Critics also praised it vigorously.

In third to sixth place are "World Trade Center" with 2.2 million, "Mysterious Islands" with 1.3 million, "Himalayan Prince" with 700,000, and Guo Fucheng's "Father and Son" with 650,000.

And the time has finally come to December 8th.

"Raise your hands high, don't bend, straighten."

"Watch your legs, squat down a little more, please, can't you squat? Looks like I'm the only one to help you. ”

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts."

On the set of the filming of the crew of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", the actors who were not filming and were about to start filming martial arts were practicing their moves in the open space next to them under the guidance of Lin Yuquan.

"Oh, I'm tired, I protest, I'm going to film later? I'm completely out of energy now because of your toss. Barely practicing a move, you can take a rest, Xu Zheng immediately looked at Lin Yuquan with resentment.

"Besides, can I be blamed for this? You can't learn it here, such a simple action, it took so long to practice, and I'm embarrassed to say, I blush for you, you really don't have any talent for action scenes, you can only play your funny scenes. Lin Yuquan glared at Xu Zheng and said angrily.

"No way, do you think your movements are so easy to practice, you have to squat so low, and at the same time, your hands need to be straight and raised, and then you have to pay attention to your expression, is it easy for my old arms and legs?" Xu Zheng's eyes became more and more resentful.

"Heh, who told you not to exercise much." Lin Yuquan was happy, looked at the clearing, and shouted with a smile: "Everyone will rest, and then practice again in ten minutes." ”

Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Zhou Haimei and others stopped practicing, and then walked over to where the two were.

"Hey, "The Battle of Red Cliffs" should be on the red carpet at this time, I don't know how much it will be at the box office for its premiere today?" Xu Zheng said suddenly.

"Hee-hee, it's definitely not good, how can it compare with "Red Cliff"!" Liu Yifei, who had just come over, said with a smile when he heard this.

"Yes, Director Lin's "Red Cliff" last year was too brilliant, so naturally it is not so easy to surpass." Although Wu Yusen has created countless glories in Hong Kong, Zhou Haimei is not optimistic about his "Battle of Red Cliffs" this time, not because Lin Yuquan is the boss of her current brokerage company, but because she has watched "Red Cliff", Wu Yusen can't shoot that feeling at all.

"yes, I think so, too." Liu Shishi had a shallow smile on his face, and glanced at Lin Yuquan imperceptibly.

Lin Yunquan showed a knowing smile, and he was silent.

Liu Yifei, who had been looking at Lin Yuquan, obviously discovered this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he immediately looked at Lin Yuquan with a smile without showing weakness, and his big watery eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness: "Brother Yuquan, what do you think?" ”

This Nizi, as soon as she touched Liu Yifei's eyes, Lin Yuquan immediately had a headache, Liu Shishi was still around, but now was not the time for a headache, everyone was looking at him, so he smiled: "The Battle of Red Cliff" has been so concerned, there must be a lot of box office this week, the key is to look at the audience's word-of-mouth and media evaluation after the premiere, after all, the box office of the film is ultimately to speak with quality." ”

"That's it, I raise my hands and feet to agree with Yuquan's statement, then Yuquan, how much box office do you estimate in China for "The Battle of Red Cliffs"?" Xu Zheng smiled.

"You ask me, how do I know." Lin Yuquan said angrily, too many people have asked him this question in the past few days, and everyone will be annoyed: "Don't gossip about people, "Love Call Transfer" will be released soon, instead of caring about how much box office "The Battle of Red Cliff" has, it is better to spend more time on the promotion of "Love Call Transfer", by the way, you have to leave the crew the day after tomorrow, hurry up and practice, otherwise with your mastery speed, there will be not enough time." ”

"Ah, I haven't rested yet?"

In December, the weather in Kyoto has gradually cooled down, and outside one of the largest movie theaters in Kyoto, a large number of people have gathered, except for a small number of fans of "The Battle of Red Cliffs", most of them are fans of the main creative stars, and whenever a favorite star walks by on the red carpet, the crowd will immediately erupt in huge cheers.

On both sides of the red carpet, reporters endured the cold, while busy and constantly taking pictures of the stars walking on the red carpet, while chatting quietly with the people around them.

"Hey, although it is also a blockbuster and a star-studded movie, the starlight of "The Battle of Red Cliff" is not a little dim compared to Lin Yuquan's "Red Cliff", and the two are not at the same level at all."

"That's not, Gu Tianle, Jin Chengwu, Lin Zhilin, Zhao Wei, Zhang Zhen, Hu Jun, Zhang Fengyi and others may be luxury brands compared to other films, but how can they be compared with "Red Cliff", Lin Yuquan, Chen Daoming, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Zhen Zidan, Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei, Fan Binbin, Chen Jianbing The gap is too obvious."

"And the star lineup that came to help at the premiere of the movie today is too shabby, there are no big names."

"Isn't it? still remembers that when "Red Cliff" premiered last year, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, all the three major domestic directors were present, and there were even more other stars. ”

"It's okay if the premiere doesn't compare, if the film doesn't compare, Wu Yusen will be miserable."

"I'm not optimistic about it anyway."

In such a cold weather, just walking around outside is enough to bear, not to mention wearing a thin evening dress that can show off a good figure, for female stars, practicing cold resistance is the most basic, but even if the cold resistance is strong, it is inevitable that the whole body is almost frozen.

As one of the four popular flowers in China, Zhao Wei has always been the focus of media pursuit, and she is also the most box office appeal actor in "The Battle of Red Cliffs", today she wore a black sundress, the whole person looks particularly quiet and intellectual, since she appeared on the stage, she immediately became a group of stars, the most popular among media reporters and onlookers, although she laughed all the way on the red carpet and subsequent activities, but her mood is not good, not only bad, but even can be described as extremely bad.

At the beginning of last year, she participated in the role audition of "Red Cliff", and lost the competition with Zhou Xun, at that time Lin Yuquan was not as prosperous as now, and later she received an invitation from Wu Yusen to let her play the role of Sun Shangxiang who was competing at the beginning, perhaps because she was not convinced, she agreed without thinking about it, and as time passed, she regretted more and more, regretting why she took over the role that Lin Yuquan was defeated, so that she fell to this point now.

As an actor, it stands to reason that she should be full of confidence in her work, but Zhao Wei really can't mention the slightest confidence, because she has already watched "The Battle of Red Cliffs", to be honest, "The Battle of Red Cliffs" is actually not worse, at least not worse than "Night Banquet", but if it is compared with Lin Yuquan's "Red Cliff", heh, don't mention it.

And after tonight's premiere, presumably for a long time to come, "The Battle of Red Cliffs" is destined to usher in countless criticisms, and she herself will be scolded for being useless in comparison with Zhou Xun, and when she thinks of this, she has an indescribable irritability in her heart.

Not only her, in fact, the entire crew of "The Battle of Red Cliffs" is not in such a good mood, unlike the previous premieres full of expectations, no one has any hope now, even if it seems to be a perfunctory publicity.

Of course, if you talk about pain, Wu Yusen is the most painful one, what actors understand, as a director, he naturally knows better, and when he glimpses everyone's expressions with the rest of his eyes, he can't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

In the agony of the creators, the red carpet and the premiere event finally ended, and everyone walked towards the theater, everyone knew that an even more painful premiere awaited them.

The premiere didn't take long to start, and soon, bursts of laughter were remembered in the theater, and suddenly all the main creators began a torturous journey.

After the premiere, comments about "The Battle of Red Cliffs" quickly occupied the headlines of major media magazines, forums, blogs, and Time.com.

"The film is not bad, the problem is that there are no surprises, some are just funny."

"Shooting a funny film with 400 million, Zhuge Liang thundered, no one wants this to be a comedy."

"The accident of "The Battle of Red Cliffs" has violence but no aesthetics."

"The special effects, martial arts, and actors' performances are just barely passing, what does "The Battle of Red Cliff" compare with "Red Cliff"."

"Is it Wu Yusen's talent, or Lin Yuquan's strong appearance beyond expectations."

"I've watched "Red Cliff", "The Battle of Red Cliff" is actually a good-looking historical child's play, and adult audiences will doze off in the first 10 minutes."

"Lin Zhilin is the biggest failure, and after reading it, you must see Liu Yifei's Xiao Qiao washing his eyes."

"If you see the ending, the last vestiges of goodwill for the film will disappear."

"Brother Yuquan, the audience's word-of-mouth and media evaluation after the premiere of "The Battle of Red Cliffs" are terrible."

Early the next morning, Liu Yifei, who had read the report, said to Lin Yuquan happily that not only her, but the entire crew of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" were discussing this matter, and this was just a small microcosm.

When the latest week's mainland weekly box office rankings came out, seeing the figure of 28.8 million, everyone knew that "The Battle of Red Cliffs" was over, although it was a number that could only be looked up to on other films, but for the two films with an investment of more than 400 million yuan, this number of "The Battle of Red Cliffs" could not be more miserable, not to mention compared with "Red Cliff", not even "Night Banquet".

What's more, now that the film's reputation is so poor, can you still count on the follow-up box office? Unless the audience is really interested in coming to the theater to watch how bad "The Battle of Red Cliffs" is compared to "Red Cliff".

Seeing this result, Lin Yuquan just smiled faintly, without the slightest smugness, and then continued to be busy with his own affairs, except for directing the shooting of the martial arts drama of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", the rest of the time he sent an email to Alex. Kuzman communicates and wholeheartedly creates his own "Wild Story" trilogy. R1152
