Chapter 280: Old? Or is it better to sigh to yourself? (below)
Wen Yi looked at Zhang Xiaogang and Xu Ke with some doubts, while other filmmakers also looked over. However, they were not as confused as Wen Yi, but had an expression that was indeed so. That expression undoubtedly showed a superficial approval of their Mandarin.
Wen Yi made such a film, which really made them feel old.
"If you don't know you kid well, I doubt that you are showing off this film to us!" Xu Ke shook his head and said with a smile.
"Why did Director Xu say this?" When Wen Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "I'm very sincere." As you know, I'm stressed out about this film. I need to work this film, but there are inevitably oversights in one person! I need you to fill in the gaps! ”
"It seems that the rumors are still true, you really hit the Oscars when you make this film! Although you have never admitted it. Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Pressure is also motivation!" It seems that this sentence is really true. I really don't have any opinions on your film, and I can even say that I am not qualified to give any opinions. The handling in many places was surprisingly good. After watching your film, I really feel old. ”
"You have an excellent grasp of this film. If we talk too much, it will backfire! Xu Ke continued, "I'm old, I really feel old!" ”
Feel old!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was silent for a while, and the news about the film suddenly flooded the major media again. The cause was the Weibo of several famous filmmakers.
The post-production of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has always been a mystery. When will it be released. There is no news coming out.
And yet at this very moment. Several famous filmmakers, including the great directors Zhang Xiaogang and Xu Ke, wrote about Wen Yi's new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on Weibo almost at the same time.
Although the words are different, the meaning is surprisingly consistent, and they all feel old after reading Wen Yi's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Feeling old? Why is this so! The underlying meaning undoubtedly makes everyone think about it. For a while, there were different opinions on these Weibo. Some eye-catching media understood that those filmmakers sighed to themselves after watching Wen Yi's new film!
The big directors Zhang Xiaogang and Xu Ke sighed to themselves after watching Wen Yi's new film!
This is naturally exciting news.
Whether it is Zhang Xiaogang or Xu Ke, they are the top directors in Chinese films. It also enjoys great prestige in the international arena. If you say which of them is better, you can't say for sure. After all, both have received numerous accolades.
This thing is like "no first"!
It's the same as watching any film by a big director. After reading it, I sighed that I was old, and said that it was better to be a self-sigh, which was inevitably a bit far-fetched.
Of course, some people say that it is better to sigh at themselves, and naturally there are also media who refute and directly scold those media for grandstanding. Feeling old, that is when Zhang Xiaogang and Xu Ke both admit that Wen Yi is already at the same level as them. And Wen Yi is much younger than them. With such a level, they naturally feel old.
Say it's old. It's not that it's better to sigh at yourself. It's an affirmation of young people!
Of course, there is also a saying that Zhang Xiaogang, Xu Ke and others said this, which is nothing more than to build momentum for Wen Yi's new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". When they say this, they are just promoting young people.
The media argued endlessly about this, but Zhang Xiaogang, Xu Ke and others did not make any reply to this, as if they had never said such a thing at all.
However, with such a debate in the media, the interest in Wen Yi's new film is undoubtedly increasing.
What kind of film is it, it actually makes so many filmmakers, including two top Chinese directors, sigh like that at the same time!
And no matter how everyone understands that words, everyone has to admit that they are praising Wenyi's new film.
Wen Yi's films have always had a good reputation, even the controversial "Kung Fu" has a high rating on Douban. Regardless of word-of-mouth, it is an indisputable fact that Wen Yi's films are very popular.
Good or bad, after all, it is still the fans who have the final say.
What exactly is the film? The interest of movie fans has been stirred up by the controversy in the media.
At this time, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" passed the review, determined the release date, entered the publicity stage, and the trailer was released immediately. The time is not short, only more than two minutes, divided into domestic and international editions. However, the difference between the two versions is not very big.
As soon as the trailer came out, it immediately attracted countless onlookers and caused a wide range of discussions.
At the beginning of the trailer, Li Long is wearing a robe, leading a horse to walk by the pond, accompanied by a dialogue:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the rivers and lakes, how can it not be in people's hearts! There is a murderer hidden in the sword, why not in people's hearts? Hold your hands tight, there's nothing in them, let go of your hands, and you've got them together.
It also opens with a very philosophical dialogue, and the accompanying soundtrack makes people feel a sense of poetry.
Wen Yi seems to want to tell everyone that he has created a poetic martial arts world in this film.
And then there was the jade dragon stealing the sword, a chase scene between Yuan Fang and Lin Yuyan, and then Xinjiang style, which was converted to the scene of the robbery of Yunluo Xiaohu played by Wen Yi, and then interspersed with Li Long's sword dance and the passion scene between Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong.
Of course, there are not many passion scenes, at least a lot less than in the original trailer, but they stop at the point. Then there are a few shots of the bamboo forest fighting, followed by some close-ups of the leading actors.
Li Long stood at a window, with his hands behind his back, and his heroic temperament was fully displayed. followed by Lin Yuyan's posture of raising a sword, as well as Yuan Fang's posture of holding a double sword, and Wen Yi's posture of riding a horse. Of course, there is also Master Liu played by Wang Li, as well as the blue-eyed fox played by Wang Shan, the god hunting Cai Jiu played by Yuan Dian, and the daughter of Cai Jiu played by Sun Lili.
Of course, this is the trailer for the domestic version, the trailer for the international version, which is a little shorter than that. There are a lot fewer characters on display.
Li Long, Lin Yuyan, Yuan Fang, Wen Yi and Wang Li are somewhat familiar abroad. But for others, cutting it out doesn't do anything either. is like the movie that created the era of Chinese blockbusters in the previous life, there are so many big-name stars, but in North America, there is only one person on the poster.
When asked, people directly said that other North American fans didn't know each other at all. I don't know, it's useless to use them as propaganda.
Of course, Wen Yi's film does not have such embarrassment.
Needless to say, Li Long is a good mixer in Hollywood. And Wen Yi, then naturally there is no need to talk about it. picked up fame, it is estimated that it is better than Li Long.
And Lin Yuyan, Yuan Fang and Wang Li, because of Wen Yi's relationship, especially "Kung Fu", a film that has caused heated discussions in the world, can be regarded as familiar, although it is not very attractive, but at least many people know each other.
Especially Wang Li, the only Chinese actor in the previous "The Expendables", still left a lot of impressions.
As soon as the trailer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" came out, it naturally set off a new "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fever"! Fans' expectations for this film have also reached a new height.
Wen Yi's promotion of movies has always had a unique place. But this propaganda does not seem to have any special place, it is done step by step, and there is nothing new.
The promotion of this film can achieve such an effect, I am afraid that it is not unrelated to the fact that Zhang Xiaogang, Xu Ke and others' Weibo have been debated by the media. But this has nothing to do with Wen Yi at all. Even in the media controversy, Wen Yi and Jiayi Company did not play a role in contributing to the trouble.
They gave up an opportunity to hype up the hype.
Originally, Jiayi's company planned to use this to promote, but Wenyi stopped it. In his opinion, if this is promoted, even if Zhang Xiaogang and others will not feel anything, but in Wen Yi's opinion, it is disrespectful to these filmmakers.
There are some things that you can't kick your nose in the face!
Of course, the promotion of this film is like this, and it has nothing to do with this. Because of the controversy in the media, this film has achieved good publicity results, so there is no need to spend more money on publicity.
However, even so, the promotion of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still achieved the desired effect. (To be continued......)
