Chapter 174: Embroidered Spring Knife

Chen Xi's new movie book is "Embroidered Spring Knife".

In fact, the selection of this movie, for him, from the perspective of fame, occupies a large part...... He is now launching this movie, and he also has a more utilitarian plan.

The movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" was officially released in 2014, which is actually quite far away, but Chen Xi is not purely saying that he wants to remake some more recent movies in the recent time.

He now just picks according to the movies that are suitable for him.

This movie is a fitting one!

In fact, the previous view is not incorrect, that is, martial arts films are now in decline, especially costume martial arts films.

But Chen Xi's idea is not to go with the flow, or to say that he doesn't do anything against the trend at all...... On the contrary, he has always believed that such a thing as a trend can lead or even create a zào!

For example, now that martial arts movies have completely declined, not too many people like kung fu movies...... But the problem is that this year's film, "Ip Man", was a great success, and not only in China, but also sold well in various countries.

Even the second part after that, there was a very good response at home and abroad, especially the second part, which was still more traditional and old-fashioned in the end, but the evaluation in the United States was still quite good, and the IMDB score was higher than that of Chinese film review websites.

Therefore, many people only saw Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides", "The City is Full of Golden Armor" and even "Night Banquet", and did not see some other successful movies. As long as he works hard, and has knowledge from the future as help, Chen Xi believes that he will definitely be able to do some things that others can't think of, and these things will also make him stronger.

Next, there are really many people who directly ask Chen Xi, mainly about the details of this movie.

There is indeed a lot of need to discuss the details of the film.

And many people always have some ideas about the film plan proposed by Chen Xi with such empty white teeth, although Chen Xi has proved himself several times a long time ago, but every time it comes to a new time, especially when it is not the same as many people's ideas, disputes and different opinions will still appear, such as now.

However, Chen Xi is very patient, in fact, for everyone's questions, it is also a kind of problem to convince yourself and strive to improve, this plan is absolutely impossible to be seamless, and there will even be many things that have big problems with feasibility, so now some people say their doubts, and they can also make some adjustments and improvements in a targeted manner, Chen Xi has planned these things for a long time.

After more than an hour of discussion, Chen Xi basically convinced these people who had always had doubts about him, and then his own film plan also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The film is scheduled to be prepared and shot in March, April and May, and then start post-production, which will be released in July and August, but it is likely to be moved to September...... Because in August, it is the long-awaited Olympics at Chinese doorstep, if the Olympics really appears, it will have a very strong impact on the film market, so Chen Xi plans to make the movie pending, if in China, the movie schedule at that stage is not too full, if there are no blockbusters, his own movie can also be released at that time, if there are too many blockbusters at that stage, the schedule is too full...... That's not interesting, it's better to wait until September to be released, or advance to June or July!

But the release in June and July is a bit rushed, although Chen Xi's "Embroidered Spring Knife" is still a copied movie, but this film is a costume film, and it is also the first time that Chen Xi and everyone really shoot a costume movie, so there is more space to be left in the production, after all, just looking for scenes, props, and costumes will take longer than those previous movies, and in the process of filming, it involves many scenes, and the trouble of filming this thing Chen Xi confirmed with his own eyes when he was in "Raid", and "Embroidered Spring Knife" Although the movie does not need to emphasize reality as much as "Raid" in terms of actual combat, but the kind of effect that is relatively real but very beautiful is actually quite difficult to shoot, and it may not be stronger than "Raid".

In fact, strictly speaking, the fighting aspect of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is also remarkable......

So, after careful consideration, Chen Xi felt that although he still felt that it was better to rush this movie, there was no need to shoot it too quickly, and it would be easy to have problems with the quality if it was too rushed.

The reputation of the original "Embroidered Spring Knife" is quite good, especially on Douban movies, from the very beginning of all five points, and then soared to seven points, and then stayed at seven points and six points and never came down, the score on Douban movies can explain a lot of problems, especially in the movie genre with strong emotional conflicts.

Even if you don't talk about Douban movies, on the more professional Time Network, the movie also has a score of 7.4 points......

At the beginning, because of the influence of some movie stars, everyone thought that this movie was actually a bad movie, nothing to look at, but then they found that it was unexpectedly good-looking, and word of mouth continued to appear. At the beginning, the director of this film felt that the film would be able to surpass the box office of 100 million in a little more than one weekend, and his estimate proved to be too optimistic......

As a result, the subsequent movies encountered the phenomenon of applause...... In those years, many Chinese movies were either popular or not popular, or not popular, so there were not many cases of such applause......

However, with the increasing reputation of the movie, the movie box office has experienced many reverse growth, and the movie box office has maintained a rate of increase, and finally came to the threshold of 90 million!

This figure makes many people think that the box office of this film has hit the streets, but in fact, the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" may not have made much money in terms of investment and returns, but it is definitely profitable.

As for why the movie is popular or not, there are many reasons...... But one thing is obvious: the movie was not well promoted at all! From beginning to end, many people don't know about this film, or only know about this movie after the movie's word-of-mouth became popular. The publicity is really too bad......

Of course, in fact, from the perspective of the film itself, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is one of the tables of carefully crafting the movie, and it does not use the money to deceive the audience into the cinema, which can be praised by them.

But from the perspective of film investment, this is a great failure...... The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, which is the current era.

And Chen Xi's company, after "People in Embarrassment", has become more and more mature in film promotion, and has also made quite good progress, they have more and more energy, so Chen Xi can definitely solve this problem.

In addition, there is still a problem with the original movie, that is, a certain actor is particularly controversial, and many people think they have seen a bad movie when they see her: Liu Shishi.

Indeed, Liu Shishi also has a lot of fans, and fans are saying some good things for her, but she also has a lot of bad reviews, especially in terms of acting skills, although there are indeed many people who think that Liu Shishi's acting skills are quite good, but there are also many people who think that she is a zombie face.

However, she really can't grasp some things very well.

For this point, Chen Xi is better solved......

In fact, even if there is no reason for this, Chen Xi will not use Master Liu, and he personally doesn't think that Master Liu can control the role in the movie well, at least this role in the movie, it may be better for others to play it...... Of course, it is not easy for the heroine of "Embroidered Spring Knife" to find an actress who is particularly good at playing, and it is not very important to require the heroine's acting skills.

In the whole of China, it is quite difficult to find young, beautiful, popular actresses, and they have to find cheap salaries...... Well, basically don't think about finding it. There are so many actors in China now, but it's not easy to find suitable actors.

Circles......

So Chen Xi is now trying to lower the requirements for actors in some aspects, such as popularity and acting skills...... But the appearance really can't be reduced, because of the setting of the movie, this female role will inevitably need to be overwhelming, if you think about it this way, in fact, the most suitable person is Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei, the actress, well, although she has acted in so many movies and TV series, her acting skills have basically not improved, but her face is enough to explain a qiē, she just needs to act as a vase and let Zhang Zhen act.

Liu Yifei is the kind of person who is almost impeccable in appearance, but he is ...... Chen Xi can't afford her salary, and don't look at Liu Yifei, she has hardly made any movies with good ratings, but she has high requirements for the director when she picks a film, and she may not really be able to invite her, even if she does, the salary can't afford it.

This guy's salary in "The King of Kung Fu" has reached one million US dollars, of course, her asking price for domestic movies may not be so high, but without the 3 million to 5 million, she will definitely not be able to take this woman...... So Liu Yifei can basically pass, even if Chen Xi thinks it is very suitable.

Liu Yifei is not good, Chen Xi has more alternatives, Gao Yuanyuan, Tong Liya, Shu Sing, etc...... But here, Gao Yuanyuan is indeed the kind of impeccable beauty, but Chen Xi always feels that Gao Yuanyuan is more suitable for modern clothes, Tong Liya's costume beauty is vividly displayed when she plays Zhao Feiyan, but Tong Liya is not Han at first glance, and she is obviously a Han lady, it is more troublesome here, Shu Sing is more suitable, but her popularity is not high.

…… Now that Chen Xi has found out, it is still very difficult for him to choose an actor! R1152
