Chapter 121: Propaganda War

"Domestic Lingling Paint" is a very special existence in Xing Ye's work sequence.

It is the first work of Xing Ye to write his name into the director's name.

Before conceiving "God of Food", Xing Ye wanted to invest in the filming of the sequel to "Domestic Lingling Paint", tentatively named "The King of Secret Agents", with a lot of kung fu elements!

Xing Ye invited Tang Jili, who successfully launched his eldest brother Cheng in Hollywood, to direct "The King of Secret Agents" for him.

Tang Jili read the script, but he admitted to Xing Ye that the jokes in it were Hong Kong, and foreign audiences might not laugh, so he finally gave up.

Xing Ye then invited Xu Laowei again, and the old monster was unable to protect himself at that time, and the English film "Counterattack King" directed by him failed miserably, and investors had lost confidence in Xu Laowei, and they were only willing to pay a limited production fee at one time.

Xu Lao Wei didn't have the heart to open the Avenue of Fame to Hollywood for the star...

On the contrary, it was Xing Ye's own "Kung Fu", which not only opened the door to North America, but also became a global hit, winning the North American box office champion of Chinese films that year with a box office of 17 million US dollars, "Kung Fu" still occupies the third place in the overseas box office of Chinese films, with a total box office of 105 million US dollars, ranking first in the global non-English film list that year, and even made Xing Ye appear on the cover of Time Magazine, known as the Asian hero, and the article in it also called him the Chaplin of the East!

Let's put it this way, if there is no "Domestic Lingling Paint", there will be no "Kung Fu"!

The reason why I mentioned it with He Ping is because many of the shots in "Domestic Lingling Paint" are borrowed from He Ping's "Swordsman in Shuangqi Town"!

He Ping is really a magical director, who can not only make the mainland's first martial arts film "Swordsman in Shuangqi Town", but also make movies like "Wheat Field" and "Parasite"!

Men all have martial arts plots, just like Zhang Yimou filmed "Hero", He Ping filmed "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", and Chen Kaige filmed "Jing Ke Assassinates King Qin"!

Happy enmity, sword world!

The rivers and lakes that belong to the Oriental man alone!

There is no director who doesn't want to shoot martial arts!

Unfortunately, we are not where we once were!

When I have time in the future, I must remake the "Guanzhong Swordsman" series, such a good theme, it's a waste!

……

On February 2nd, Xiaobai was interviewed by Za Lang:

"Netizens are very enthusiastic about you now, will you feel pressure?

"It's okay, because I think what people care about now is still about the work, and the conversation is about my work itself, which may not have a lot to do with me. I don't think it's anything, I'm so boring, I don't have anything to talk about..."

"It's been almost five years since your first work, from just entering the showbiz to now being famous all over the world, what happened in between to make you transform?"

"Metamorphosis? I really don't, I'm mainly filming, the audience likes it, and I like it too. ”

"Being an actor is a relatively simple and simple job, but the entertainment industry related to it may be a relatively complex and tempting circle, what do you think of the gap?"

“… I'm mainly a director, in fact, there is no circle in the world that is as tempting as the showbiz, a drama is popular, and the income of a drama is more than 10 million or even 100 million, and there are many temptations of fame and fortune..."

"Do you have temptations too?"

"Of course, even if I'm married, there are still a lot of temptations of red fruits."

"So how do you do it?"

“… If you don't think about it, if you don't do it, what else can you do? As long as you take the initiative, you will definitely not be able to take it! ”

"What are your plans for the future of film?"

"I'm slowly thinking about whether it's possible to make comedy heavy and make the audience laugh at the same time, it's hard, I hope I can do it!"

"Many people say that you pay too much attention to marketing, and the movie will definitely run all kinds of publicity for the money when it is released..."

"This is a must, my habit is to be serious and work hard to do a good job at this stage, when you write the script, you write it well, when you shoot, and it is still the same, so at the end of the time, why don't you put your heart and soul into it and do it the best?"

……

At the same time, in the capital, Ning Hao, Huang Bo and Shen Teng gathered.

It's a screening room, the screen is dark, the lights come on, and then there is a thin round of applause.

"Crazy Aliens" held a viewing party, and the audience included the CEOs of major theaters, film critics and ace reporters from all walks of life.

Their promotional strategy is word-of-mouth marketing!

Promote word-of-mouth through media screenings, and then release them on a large scale!

Although these media take money to do things, the quality of the movie must also pass!

Fortunately, Ning Hao still has confidence in his own movies - he did it for a year in the later stage, and he made the first domestic sci-fi film.

As soon as these people came out, immediately, Weibo swiped the screen!

"No work of art can escape the influence of the creator's personal experience. A film can be tasted independently, but a director cannot be judged by just one of his works. Everything that exists is reasonable.

"Crazy Aliens" continues Ning Hao's black humor!

A very high-class comedy!

The film itself takes into account the dual attributes of entertainment and art, and the director has to find a balance on this rocker. What a film reacts on the surface may not be the story that the director really wants to tell, but the product of compromising the values of the parties, the willingness of producers and sponsors, and the taste of the audience.

The director chooses to "hide" the meaning he really wants to express in the movie, and throws out some inexplicable details from time to time to guide the audience to dig in.

It is said that "Crazy Alien" is based on "Country Teacher", anyway, I don't see what the two have to do with it, five-star recommendation! ”

"Congratulations to Ning Hao, I said before that Ning Hao has obvious weaknesses, narrow vision and interest, and has been stagnant so far. "Stone" debuted at its peak, and there has been no progress since then. But even so, he can play all over the Chinese film industry, so I think it was the lack of competitive pressure that allowed him to break through himself. You can earn money lying down, so why sit up? Now with the excitement of his opponent, he finally came up with a twelve-point ability! "Crazy Aliens" is not only funny, but it also contains a lot of truth in it beyond comedy! ”

"Of these domestic directors, what I'm looking forward to the most is Ning Hao! The film market is good, and it has not brought more masterpieces to domestic films! A bunch of masters keep up the pace of one movie a year! On the contrary, Ning Hao can calm down and maintain the spirit of creation and not be dominated by the market! ”

These people are all Weibo Vs!

Overnight, "Crazy Aliens" successfully entered the audience's field of vision!

Ning Hao + Huang Bo, these two people are enough!

The bottom line is that it won't be a bad movie!

At the same time, the eldest brother Cheng also successfully appeared on the hot search on Weibo, and he said in an interview with Zha Lang, "We used to film very hard, and we were forced to film with a gun!" ’

Well, every time the eldest brother has a movie released, he talks about the year or comments about Xiao Xianrou's lack of dedication or something.

But if you ask him who he is, he won't say it, let others guess!
