"Kung Fu" is indeed a very good-looking movie, which not only maintains Stephen Chow's comedy style, but also has a lot of innovations, and the special effects scenes are very appropriate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info doesn't burn as much money as Hollywood blockbusters, but when it comes to use, it does belong to the finishing touch. However, many viewers and film critics were stunned to find that some of the ideas in "Kung Fu" collided with Wang Qinian's "Jianghu" a few years ago! The background of the two films is the Republic of China period. It's all exaggerated kung fu, far more exaggerated than guns and ammunition. Even the protagonists of the two films became peerless masters when they met an old beggar who gave him magic cheats. It's just that "Jianghu" is a little less comedic and more similar to superhero blockbusters like "Captain America". Even if "Kung Fu" crashes on the bridge, the style is definitely Stephen Chow's style. If it weren't for the fact that "Jianghu" was filmed a few years earlier than "Kung Fu", people would have no doubt that some of the stalks in "Jianghu" are a tribute to Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu". But now, public opinion is the other way around. "Is it a creative crash, or is it a deliberate imitation? "Kung Fu" and "Jianghu" have many similar episodes! "In many media, "Kung Fu" has begun to be questioned! In particular, some Hong Kong media have added fuel and vinegar to smear Stephen Chow. It goes without saying that Stephen Chow is talented, but his interpersonal relationships are very poor, so much so that in the Hong Kong film circle, many companies and bosses he cooperated with in the past have become his enemies. Especially Mrs. Xiang's family, every time she has the opportunity to Black Stephen Chow, she is very excited. In fact, Stephen Chow has been a reserved program for more than ten years. And Xiang Jia has more energy in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, which is obviously not something that Stephen Chow can resist. So much so that every time Black Week Stephen. are all a group of Hong Kong stars and directors, taking turns to expose Stephen Chow's shortcomings. "No plagiarism!" Stephen Chow was interviewed by the media. After a long silence, he said simply, "I read it yesterday." A bit similar, but not the same style! "Style, you mean?" The interviewer asked. "Mine is more humorous and funny, and he (Wang Qinian) is more like a Hollywood blockbuster!" Stephen Chow said. "What do you think of Director Wang Qinian?" The media reporter asked. Stephen Chow was silent for a long time and said: "A very young and talented director, but I have only seen one of his movies, which is "Jianghu". In the future, I may watch his other films. However, he is already making movies at such a young age, and the box office results are so good, I am not as good as him. "Wang Qinian is the owner of the most famous film and television company in China, if he invites you to collaborate on a movie, will you cooperate with him?" "I'll look at the script. Then, think about it. ”…… With Stephen Chow's explanation in a media interview. Wang Qinian also appeared in an interview and said: "It shouldn't be plagiarism." Similar to the difference between Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. It's all kung fu and action, but the style and lens are all different. The movie "Kung Fu", I think it is better than "Jianghu"! After Wang Qinian's explanation, all of a sudden, the storm of accusations of plagiarism in the media gradually stopped. However, Wang Qinian soon received calls from many celebrities in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, saying to him: "Wang Sheng, you shouldn't have said good things to Stephen Chow." Actually, his character is really bad! "Got it!" Wang Qinian snorted haha. Dealing with more ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and gods, I couldn't help but complain in my heart. The Hong Kong entertainment industry is also really an expert in infighting. finally came out with Stephen Chow, even if his character is really poor, there is no need to be black again and again, right? Moreover, a lot of accusations are a bunch of trivial things. As for a lot of hurtful things, it seems that Stephen Chow has really never done it. To sum up, it's just that Stephen Chow can't be a person and can't be in the circle, it's as simple as that! But Stephen Chow's talent is beginning to be certain, in the history of Chinese commercial films, he is enough to be compared with Bruce Lee! One is to push kung fu movies to the pinnacle, and the other is to push Chinese comedy movies to the top. The throne of the king of comedy is none other than Stephen Chow! The box office of "Kung Fu" continues to climb steadily, and at the same time, people also praise Wang Qinian's past "Jianghu" as a classic! When Golden Harvest Film Company heard the news, it began to announce that it would invest 100 million yuan to produce "Jianghu 3"! "Jianghu 3" is actually a prequel to the first two parts of "Jianghu", and the background of the era is the story of Su Qier's transformation from Wu Zhuangyuan to the leader of the beggar gang in the late Qing Dynasty. And through this prequel, people will suddenly realize that the real identity of the master of the protagonist in the first two main stories is Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er! In the script of "Jianghu 3", the protagonist is Su Qier, and at the same time, Huang Feihong, Huo Yuanjia, Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, Guo Yunshen, Li Cunyi and many other well-known martial arts personalities will appear in the movie. In the plot, the grievances between martial arts people gradually faded, and national hatred and family hatred and saving the country and the people became a new theme. This script, in Wang Qinian's opinion, is not picky about quality. As for the actors, Golden Harvest chose Ekin Cheng, who is more suitable for playing a strong man like a lone star. Although strong, it will end up being lonely for the rest of your life. The reason why "Jianghu 3" is made into a prequel is mainly because if history is pushed back, it may involve a bunch of sensitive political issues. If you don't care about the domestic market, you can naturally do it at will. But the "Jianghu" series, the domestic film market is obviously very important. Therefore, the third part chose to be made into a prequel, which can be regarded as a movie that uses the fame accumulated in the first two parts of this series to collect money and attract money. The 100 million yuan production of "Jianghu 3" is naturally indispensable for the follow-up of small partner companies. In this movie, the partner company invested 50 million yuan, which is as much as Jiahe's investment. As for the division of box office revenue, it is operated in accordance with the model that all domestic box office revenue belongs to the partner company, and all overseas box office goes to Golden Harvest. For small partner companies, they are increasingly using the model of co-investment with peers in the industry to operate, avoid fierce competition, and seek a win-win model of sharing profits and losses. It is precisely for this reason that the partner company has almost participated in the vast majority of the investment of 100 million yuan in Chinese films! With the vast majority of companies in the circle, cooperation is greater than competition. …… Early January 2005. "This year's movie box office market is really better than in the past few years!" Wang Qinian took the total amount of domestic box office data newly released in 2004 and couldn't help but say with emotion. "Yes, boss!" Yu Dong said with a smile. "A 50% increase in a year is more than most people think! However, I don't know if such data can be sustained! "A growth of about 50% should be sustainable!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "After all, this is actually a restorative growth, in the 80s, the era of a few cents a movie ticket, the peak of domestic box office data once exceeded 3 billion yuan!" "That's because, back then, entertainment conditions were limited, and people's incomes were very low, not to mention surfing the Internet, even buying a TV set, and only a few families could afford it." Yu Dong said with a smile, "Back then, I couldn't afford to buy a TV, so movies were a relatively cheap and convenient way of entertainment. And after the popularization of television, the film market plummeted! "It's not just TVs, piracy is also a major factor!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "In the past, the economy was backward, the manufacturing industry was not good, and even piracy did not have that technology. But with the proliferation of video recorders, VCDs, and DVDs, piracy became rampant. "No one cares about this piracy," Yu Dong said dissatisfiedly...... It's not that no one cares, every year someone fights piracy. However, there are all over the country, and the attitude towards copyright protection is different in different places, how can it be effective? Wang Qinian said. (To be continued)...
