Chapter 592: Table Tennis Practicing Wukong
On September 15, "Truant Dragon", which was released for 40 days, was finally painted in the exclamation of countless audiences, and the mainland box office won a total of 1.83 billion yuan, stopping at 2 billion!
For a while, the voices of regret were endless, and almost everyone was in pity, it was just 170 million, and when it was first released, it could explode more box office than this in one day.
However, there is a banquet in the world, and what should be painted must be painted, and the world will turn the same way without anyone.
After all, it is not the kind of concise and bright popular comedy, but a comedy with a unique Chinese flavor, which is difficult to understand if you are not a Chinese person or a foreigner who has a deep understanding of Chinese culture.
In his previous life, Zhou Xingchi had extensive and deep influence and box office appeal in China, but he was much weaker when he left China, which is proof.
However, in Xiangjiang and Mazu Island, "Truant Dragon" still gave a surprise to the Chinese people.
In Xiangjiang, "Truant Dragon" was screened for 35 days and sold 60 million box office, although it is equivalent to more than 50 million Chinese coins, it is also an amazing achievement, because this is the highest box office of mainland films in Xiangjiang.
In Mazu Island, "Truant Dragon" was screened for 40 consecutive days and sold a box office of 330 million, equivalent to more than 60 million yuan, which is also an amazing achievement, because this is also the highest box office of mainland films on Mazu Island!
Of course, in addition to the surprise, many people still feel depressed, because in Xiangjiang and Mazu Island, the highest-grossing movies are not mainland films, nor local films in Xiangjiang or Mazu Island, all of them are Hollywood blockbusters. even swept the top five, and Chinese films could only rank sixth.
Comparing the intuitive box office figures, and then converting the price level over the years, people quickly found that the 60 million and 330 million of "Truant Dragon" can only rank seventh and tenth!
Many young people feel a strong sense of indignation, what happened to the people in these two places? Or is it not a Chinese anymore? actually agrees with Hollywood films. Don't agree with Chinese films?
Huaxia has been the Celestial Empire, the Central Empire, and the first in the world for thousands of years, although it has fallen behind in the past two hundred years, it is still self-respecting in its bones, as long as it is not the first, then it is indignant. Everything must be first, then it is really strong, and then it will stop, otherwise it will not work, and you will be indignant.
All of a sudden. A wave of fierce criticism of Xiangjiang and Mazu Island began to appear on the Internet, scolding them for eating inside and out, yellow skin and white heart, and being Chinese in vain!
Some netizens also appealed, calling on Stephen Zhao to make a fierce film, so that those Shambas and Island Bazi opened their eyes, shook them all down, and then knelt on the ground and sang conquest.
Of course Zhao Xingchi didn't do it, he didn't have the leisure to do it. With this effort, it is better to find your own woman to keep it warm.
βcutοΌ Do it all over again! β
The crew of "Journey to the West", Stephen Zhao shouted. Then let Zhang Liuling, who was furry like a big horse monkey, repeat the scene just now: "Zhang Liuling, pay attention to your eyes, your eyes are monkey eyes, and now Sun Wukong has just been born, full of wildness and very naΓ―ve." Not as old as you! β
"I see." Zhang Liuling scratched his head in distress, this has just started filming, and he has been NG eight times in a row, but he has never satisfied Stephen Zhao.
The crew didn't say a word, and director He Fansen didn't say a word.
In the crew of "Journey to the West". Stephen Zhao has the greatest power, he said that Shenma is Shenma, whether it is director He Fansen or producer Dong Baoguo from CCTV, they all have to stand aside. If anyone dares to question, Zhao Xingchi will immediately lose a cold face: "If you don't want to do it, you can leave, some people want to do it!" And then no one dared to say anything.
Of course, if he puts forward opinions, Stephen Zhao will not object, and will let them put them forward, but he has the right to choose whether to adopt it or not.
Stephen Zhao has watched six versions of the "Journey to the West" TV series, five versions in China, and one version in Japan. However, there are only four who have watched it seriously, a six-year-old children's version, a bearded version, a Zhang Weijian version, and a Chen Haomin version. Chen Sihan's version roughly watched a few clips, and then gave up, both the actors and the style are heartbreaking, what about Nima showing off her IQ or showing her IQ?
The Japanese version was lost at a glance, this version is a pit dad and a cheating mother, a version of the madness, the shape is rotten, the characters are weird, the plot is disgusting, it's just a lump of Xiang, I don't believe it to see Lao Shi complaining about Journey to the West.
Among the four versions that I have watched carefully, Zhang Weijian's version and Chen Haomin's version are not to mention, this is the "nonsensical" version of the "Journey to the West" TV series, which is spoofed and can not be mentioned, and these two versions can be regarded as one version, because except for the different actors of Sun Wukong, the others are the same and have not changed.
The six-year-old children's version and the bearded version, Zhao Xingchi believes that they have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The six-year-old children's version is the most classic, but many characters have poor modeling and poor special effects.
The bearded version of "Journey to the West" has done a good job in special effects, especially the special effects of Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor. The shapes of many characters are also very beautiful, such as the Tota Heavenly King like the Golden Saint Seiya, and the Erlang God Yang Jian like the Silver Saint Seiya; But the shapes of more characters are very bad, such as the cow head and horse face of the underworld and the demons and monsters on the way to learn the scriptures. What is especially unbearable is that the appearance of the absolute protagonist Sun Wukong and the male No. 3 Zhu Bajie seems to have suffered nuclear radiation and then mutated, which is really worrying to watch.
What is especially unbearable is that the bearded man actually found Nie Yuan to be Tang Seng and created a demonic Monkey King!
Nie Yuan's body is big, stocky, and sincere, looking like a young man who is fierce and fierce, and Tang Seng, the "royal brother" with fine skin and tender meat, are two completely different types, why did he choose him?
Of course, Tang Seng's is not the audience's dish, the audience wants to watch Sun Wukong, so Tang Seng has become a fierce young man, and it is okay to endure it. It shouldn't be, the bearded man shouldn't create a demonic Monkey King!
It's true that Sun Wukong is a monkey demon, but he is really not a demon, he is the Monkey King, beautiful, not a demon!
What's the deal with talking in a sissy if it's okay?
Nuclear radiation has mutated Sun Wukong's appearance. It also made Sun Wukong's personality change?
Zhang Liuling played the Monkey King, in terms of styling, Zhao Xingchi chose the six-year-old children's version, and in terms of temperament, it is also the six-year-old children's version. The demonic Monkey King, where will I die. Stephen Zhao really wants to burst into foul language!
The six-year-old children's version of Monkey King is the real "beautiful" Monkey King, and it is also in line with the original work!
However, it seems that for this reason, filming is even more difficult, Zhang Liuling has never been able to enter the play, especially his eyes, and he can't play that taste.
Stephen Zhao somewhat understands why the six-year-old children's version of "Journey to the West" in his previous life was filmed for 8 years. The bearded version of Journey to the West was filmed for more than two years. Although it is said that the six-year-old children's version has conditional restrictions, so it took so long to shoot, it can also be seen that the actor's intentions are not comparable to the roughness of the bearded version.
The bearded version of "Journey to the West" has good ratings in China, all in the front row, and the ratings abroad have created many miracles, thanks to special effects. If you don't have special effects, you can't count as scum.
In the spirit of take-it-or-leave-it. Stephen Zhao hopes that this version of "Journey to the West" he filmed can take into account the advantages of both and have both dramas. There are also shapes, and special effects.
Of course, the Ring-style goblins still have to go as far as they go, and the demons and monsters in the East and the demons and monsters in the West are completely two different species, okay!
Half an hour later, Zhang Liuling said yes, and Stephen Zhao put down the script of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" in his hand. Signal that the crew can start.
He Fansen shouted: "Aikesh! β
In the camera, Zhang Liuling squatted on the ground like a big horse monkey, and slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bright eyes full of innocence but wildness, with a hint of agility.
He Fansen nodded secretly. I thought to myself, "It's finally okay this time, right?" β
Who knows, Zhao Xingchi's shout came from his ears again: "Click, come again!" β
"Dizzy!" He Fansen was completely speechless, he had an urge to scold, stood up suddenly, and said, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette!" β
Zhao Xingchi didn't respond, he was frowning and looking at Zhang Liuling with a distressed face trying to figure out a way, it can't go on like this, it's too much of a waste of time.
Lin Meijia walked over: "Boss, why don't you rest first?" β
"What?" Zhao Xingchi glanced at her suspiciously, he was immersed in his thoughts, and he didn't hear what Lin Meijia was saying at all.
"Let's rest first, everyone is tired." Lin Meijia repeated, and then turned her head to look at the crew.
Zhao Xingchi was stunned for a moment, and following his gaze, many people's faces showed tired looks, obviously feeling tired.
Zhao Xingchi smiled apologetically, then stood up, clapped his palms and said, "Now it's time to rest, everyone take a good rest and recuperate." I invite everyone to drink water! β
Almost all of them showed a relieved smile, and then said loudly: "Thank you, Master Xing!" β
Only Zhang Liuling was still very distressed, he walked over and said to Zhao Xingchi: "Master Xing, am I not suitable to play Sun Wukong?" β
Zhao Xingchi patted him on the shoulder with a smile and comforted: "I said that if it is suitable, it is suitable, you can't act well now, it's just that I am strict and you are not suitable yet." Take it easy, you can. β
Zhang Liuling was not happy because of his comfort, but became even more depressed: "What if...... If I'm really not suitable, Master Xing, you might as well choose another ......"
"Say no more!"
Zhao Xingchi interrupted his words very unhappily, thought about it, and said: "That's it, I'll teach you a method, you try to practice, and see if you can practice your eyes." β
"Practicing eyes?" Zhang Liuling was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, he had only heard of practicing acting skills, and he had never heard of practicing eyes, is this possible?
Zhao Xingchi smiled, didn't explain, just arranged for someone to get a pair of table tennis rackets, so that the two of them kept fighting, and then said to Zhang Liuling: "Look at table tennis with your eyes, don't move, move your eyes, where the ball goes, your eyes will turn." Remember, don't move your head! β
"Huh?"
Not only Zhang Liuling, but everyone in the crew was so shocked by his method that their jaws were about to drop! (To be continued......)
