Chapter 197: It's hard if it's not hot

The entrance of the Wudaokou Cinema.

When "Jianghu" was screened, Wang Qinian naturally participated in the meeting. Compared with the previous film conferences, the "Jianghu" screening conference was very low-key. After all, the college student film festival is gradually becoming popular, and many participating films have also distracted the attention of "Jianghu".

The reporter saw Wang Qinian and his entourage passing by, and asked in the way: "Director Wang, is "Jianghu" participating in this college student film festival aiming to change the situation where your film is commercially successful and the film awards are not received?" ”

"This ...... It's all about participation! As for whether I can win the award, I want to take it, will the judges give it? Wang Qinian smiled and said.

When the reporters heard this, they also laughed.

"So, you are still business-oriented, and "Jianghu" aims to get a high box office?"

"Well, I hope the box office is very high, and the box office is getting higher and higher, which can show the growth of a director!" Wang Qinian said, "The box office of one is higher than the other, which shows that it has not disappointed the audience." If you disappoint the audience, even if a certain film achieves a high box office, it will fall later! ”

"Do you have a director or an idol that you admire?"

"Yes, in the Chinese film industry, Stephen Chow is my idol, and his movies are good-looking in one word! A comedy of laughter and anger is better than a movie that pretends to be deep! Every time I watch Stephen Chow's movies, I feel touched and enlightened, and I can learn a lot of things, which are more useful than textbooks! Wang Qinian gave a thumbs up and said, "There are also directors such as Tsui Hark, Ang Lee, etc., and their films have a lot to learn." International directors, I still admire the box office king Cameron. , the name is very hanging. If you sell copies, the movie will definitely sell well......"

Wang Qinian said casually, making the media reporters laugh.

Cameron is now the king of commercial films, and he is invincible all over the world at the box office, and there are really few earthlings who don't know Cameron.

Movies in terms of winning awards. It's pretty awesome, too. It can be seen that commercial films have reached a certain level, and in terms of art, they can also crush pure literary films.

As for the teacher who "sells copies", he has transformed from an actor to a director, in fact. Now it is very popular overseas, and several blockbusters with a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars have been made.

But its fame in China is not very big, because there is a limit on the number of imported Hollywood films imported from China every year.

The name of the teacher who "sells copies" is really well known to Chinese audiences. still has to wait until the live-action version of "Transformers" starts filming, and one is more popular than the other.

Because, his name, pronounced in Chinese, is close to the pronunciation of selling copies.

As a result, many viewers suddenly realized - no wonder he was able to succeed and sell copies!

……

The film "Jianghu" provides free viewing opportunities during the college student film festival.

In fact, it is only very limited, and there are 7oo free seats in the Wudaokou Cinema. With a student ID, you can watch it for free, and "Jianghu" will be screened at least three times a day, which means that 21oo people can be provided with the opportunity to watch the movie for free every day.

But this free opportunity. The vast majority of students can't grab it!

Thousands of college students who have student ID cards and watched "Jianghu" for free in Wudaokou Cinema have praised the movie in front of their friends.

"Have you watched "Jianghu"? It's a masterpiece! ”

"It's so enjoyable, it's a scene made with special effects. is not of the same grade as the martial arts movies of the past! This is called a martial arts blockbuster! ”

"Peerless magic vs machine guns and cannons. It's so enjoyable! ”

"It's not cool, Li Xia's martial arts. Obviously, it has reached the point where one person can destroy an army, so why not kill the devil army? ”

"Actually, the scene where the protagonist fights with the two who wear Lin Bei's legs and are invincible with an iron fist is the coolest. The scene of the battle with the Demon Sect Leader in the back, although the scene is bigger, the details are relatively rough! ”

A large number of viewers who have watched the movie have applauded.

Although, in terms of connotation, "Jianghu" really has no connotation, it is the same as those popcorn blockbusters in Hollywood.

But in fact, the difficulty of creating a movie that allows the audience to enjoy two hours, rather than two hours of egg pain, is no lower than those so-called movies with connotation!

Both college students and the public feel fascinated by martial arts blockbusters in the modern background of "Jianghu".

This feeling of shock, like most Hollywood blockbusters of this era.

It doesn't matter what the connotation is!

The important thing is to understand what the audience wants to see!

Wang Qinian understands this truth, so after the test screening of "Jianghu" in Wudaokou Cinema, word of mouth began to spread rapidly.

……

Saturday, April 21.

"Jianghu" officially began to be released, and more than 4oo cinemas across the country began to be released simultaneously.

Except for the Wudaokou Cinema, which provides free tickets, other cinemas are all paid tickets. Due to word of mouth, the movie quickly became popular. In BJ City alone, the daily box office is as high as 12O thousand!

And the box office across the country is summed up, and "Jianghu" collected 3oo box office in one day on April 21!

This number is not conspicuous ten years later, because at that time, the box office was already astronomical, and the box office of tens of millions a day was called a big sale, and those with a box office of millions were embarrassed to say that they were selling well.

But the total box office in 2oo1 is 3oo0,000, which is enough to rank within the top ten of the domestic film box office list.

Not to mention, the 3oo box office of "Jianghu" is a one-day box office!

Almost every media and entertainment news have to mention "Jianghu"!

On the Internet, some well-known online film critics have also begun to write film reviews, for example, the well-known film critic Wei Junzi has published an article "Commenting on Wang Qinian"!

“…… Wang Qinian, the director, is undoubtedly a newcomer in the film and television industry in terms of age and debut time. But he appeared in front of the audience with the appearance of a genius. Starting from "The Gate of Destiny" and "Journey to the West", Wang Qinian has become the most famous representative of the sixth generation of directors.

When most of the sixth-generation directors are still making underground films that can't be released in cinemas, or literary films that no one will watch even if they are released.

Wang Qinian is different from the directors of his time, as soon as he debuted, he was aiming for the purpose of showing it on the big screen, and he announced very openly that he wanted to make commercial films.

In the disdain of many literary film directors, he bent his waist for the box office, or envied his success. But from the audience's point of view, Wang Qinian's films are indeed the most understandable and commercialized directors among the sixth generation of directors.

And, from the small cost of hundreds of thousands of yuan at the beginning, to the 4ooo million system of "Jianghu". Wang Qinian seems to be a leading figure in domestic commercial films, at least ...... The first person in commercial films among the sixth generation of directors, this is definitely deserved!

In the author's opinion, a film directed by Wang Qinian should be worth looking forward to. With curiosity about the 4ooo blockbuster "Jianghu", the author walked into the cinema and had a sneak peek.

The movie "Jianghu" is set in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China when martial arts were in decline. At the beginning of the movie, the tragic sacrifice of the five sword kings and the Boxers under foreign guns and guns seems to be telling the audience that even the legendary invulnerable golden bell jar, iron cloth shirt, and gun that can be blocked are guns in the sense of traditional cold weapons, not modern guns. Participating in the Boxer Rebellion, the martial arts people who were invulnerable in the era of cold weapons became a joke in front of gunpowder weapons.

After this tragic scene, the real movie protagonist Li Xia began to appear. Compared with the previous tragic scenes, Li Xia's experience is almost the same as the adventure of the protagonist in martial arts films. Because Li Xia has a peerless talent in martial arts, the last generation of beggar gang leaders approached the protagonist by selling cheats. At first, the protagonist doesn't believe in the old beggar, but in the end, he worships the old beggar because he showed his peerless martial arts. Under the old beggar's teaching~, the protagonist began to become a martial artist with peerless martial arts from a scholar who was powerless......"

Comments from well-known film critics like Wei Junzi began to appear like a blowout after the release of "Jianghu".

This has all contributed to the box office of "Jianghu"!

It can be said that "Jianghu" has accumulated a large number of audience expectations, and the quality has not disappointed the audience, so it is difficult for the movie to not be popular at the box office! (To be continued) R655
