Cinema is the light and shadow of drama.

Therefore, in essence, the quality of a movie should be judged by drama rather than story!

It sounds like it makes sense, because that's what Shakespeare said!

But, big brother, that's Shakespeare, and the story itself is good enough, and on that basis, people demand drama, a sense of stage, actors' performances, and so on.

Do you have a Shakespearean background?

People don't need to think about the story, because his creation can already ensure the excitement of the story.

Anytime you take Shakespeare as an example, you should consider whether you have reached his realm.

The beginning and end of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is a bit inexplicable, the first half is still telling the story of Bai Juyi, Kuhai, Chen Yunqiao and the demon cat, and the second half starts from Abe's diary and suddenly turns, the protagonist becomes Xuanzong, Yang Yuhuan and adds the white dragon and Danlong......

The basic appeal of the audience is to see a wonderful story, not a picture!

The whole "Legend of the Demon Cat" feels like a group tour, and when you get off the bus, "This scene is only five minutes, let's take a look, let's talk about the next thing in a hurry!" ”

Fragmented, a group of people with particularly nonsensical motives.

All the characters who appear in the movie give people a sense of forced awkwardness.

However, Director Kai Ge can be regarded as letting go of his status as a high-ranking director this time, and the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is not difficult to understand, and the plot is even a bit old-fashioned.

Director Chen's beauty Yang Yuhuan is not the first, and the original "Wuji" is not also a beauty in the city!

Also, the core content that "The Legend of the Demon Cat" wants to express is not obscure, it is nothing more than the truths of Buddhism.

We have also seen the condiments added by Director Chen, who wants the prosperous atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, not only the luxurious scenery, but even the emperor is so open that he wants the ordinary people to see his beautiful concubine - there are ministers who come to tease his concubines, and the emperor doesn't even kill him.

Well, my Datang is so open-minded!

These are all right, the problem is that when these elements are packed into a movie, the whole movie does not present the feeling of a movie at the level of Director Chen, fragmented editing, illogical transitions, and emotional outbursts without foreshadowing, if this is a book, it is okay, you can directly describe the inner changes of the characters, but in the movie, it will give people the feeling of being deceived by the mystery.

Not to mention forcibly preaching at the end of the film.

When will a great director abandon the lofty intentions of telling a truth, reflecting a problem, representing an era, etc., in his own movie, and tell a good story with peace of mind, because only if your story is tellable, and something else is convincing.

What's the use of the director making a movie by himself and moving himself for a long time.

However, "The Legend of the Demon Cat" obviously failed to hit Brother Chen Kai, and after resting for half a year, he found Yan Geling and Gong Li!

The new film "White Snake" has been launched, vowing to share with Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang!

……

"The Legend of the Demon Cat" will definitely not lose much!

Even if the final box office is less than 300 million, it won't lose much!

Because in addition to the director of Brother Kai who wants to shoot this film, the main thing is to promote the Tang City built by Xiang*yang.

It's like "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice", Lao Jiang seems to have swept away the audience and investors, but in fact, people are shrewd!

In addition to the director himself wanting to shoot these two films, he is more to help the film and television city publicize, and the local government actually pays for it!

Understand, Kai Ye caught up with real estate this time, and "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is just a promotional video; And in the later stage, relying on film and television venue rental and tourism income, you can also make a lot of money.

Moreover, "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is combined with JD.com, and JD.com took out 100 million to subsidize the box office of "The Legend of the Demon Cat"!

Isn't the pressure to return to the cost much less?

Even if the final box office is only 300 million, "The Legend of the Demon Cat" can still make money - and overseas copyrights!

As for "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice", the same is true!

The person in charge of Beishui Ancient Town said: "Through cooperation with Jiang Wen, we will develop a film and television city with traditional courtyard houses in Beijing and a small number of Republic of China styles. After the completion of the project, through the settlement of film and television stars, script shooting, distribution and screening, more film and television works will be attracted to Shilin to carry out filming activities. ”

Wang Yangming said: A person, the name and the truth are opposite, the heart of the name is one point, and the pragmatic heart is reduced by one point.

Why did "The Legend of the Demon Cat" be filmed in Tangcheng?

Because Tang Cheng Kaiye has shares!

Don't worry about whether the big director will not find investors, Zhang Yimou has eight listed companies in his hands, even if Lay's is trapped, they are still worth 2 billion!

Therefore, a director, don't kneel in front of fame and fortune, you see, kneeling, you just have lost your original intention of making movies!

……

"Blood of the Machine" has a very poor reputation, setting a record for Big Brother Cheng's worst word-of-mouth movie in recent years!

Aside from "Looking for Jackie Chan", "Blood of the Machine" has the lowest rating!

The box office on the first day did not reach 50 million, and the attendance rate was only 30 percent...

Many viewers feedback: The plot is that set again!

The most devastating thing is not word of mouth, but not many people talk about it!

In the Douban comments, the one with the highest likes is only more than 800...

Many people subconsciously ignore this movie!

"Blood of the Machine" is a work that is not difficult to guess from the beginning to the end, although the movie has the gimmick of cyborgs, but the plot is still just a standard action movie, and the sci-fi add-on only finds a lame excuse for the villain's appearance!

The director and screenwriter are very unqualified, and it can be seen that they have learned from many Hollywood movies, but the fusion they have made is a messy stew, all the points are full of routine boredom, there is no gripping suspense, and the air is just used to impress to attract people's attention...

Big brother Cheng is still big brother, especially the wonderful fight at the top of the Sydney Opera House, which does provide one of the few highlights for this nonsense patchwork work.

Even if he is old now, he can still support the soul of a movie, but such a mediocre work is just a waste of the actor's hard work, and the stiff answer sheet like a machine is not interesting.

Ahri is estimated to be completely confused, what about the 3 billion box office that he said?

What about playing with me?

That's right, the producer of "Blood of the Machine" is Ali Film and Television...

Tut-tut, Ahri Pictures was established for five years, sharpened knives for three years, and then sacrificed "The Ferryman", "Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", "The Blood of the Machine"...

By the way, "Asura" has found a pick-up man - Ahri Film and Television!

……

In the entire schedule, the only ones that can make the eyes shine are "Fanghua" and "Jiupin Sesame Official", the former belongs to literary films...

The latter is just right for the mainstream movie-watching group!

Therefore, on the morning of the 23rd, Bai Xiaofei, Yang Lan, Wei Xiang, Jiang Wu and other main creators gathered to rush to the media conference in Lin'an.
