Chapter 47: A Wave of Scolding (4/4) (Happy New Year)

Well, a group of so-called 'experts' have put together a seminar on 'Zhang Yi's film analysis'...

Then, a bunch of titles came out: "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" failed to meet Zhang Yimou's level;

Zhang Yi bowed his head for money too much, and scholars scolded mercilessly;

The cultural circles "crusaded" Zhang Yimou, saying that his works lacked imagination;

By the way, there is also '"Hero" is the concentrated embodiment and outbreak of Zhang Yi's cultural necrophilia';

How can there be any cultural circles, this seminar is actually a publicity for the opening of a plastic surgery hospital...

The statements are also made by plastic surgery experts and the like, even if there are cultural circles, they are all marginal figures!

Make it clear, hype!

A bunch of beam-jumping clowns do everything they can to get out of the position...

But the media was willing to report, so there was a wave of national condemnation!

Even if the quality of the subsequent "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" is good, there are also articles such as "The Wonderful Game of Speculator Zhang Yimou" circulating...

During that time, criticizing Zhang Yi was the mainstream!

But this is a good thing for "Orphaned".

The media doesn't care about the theme of "Orphaned" at all, they just want to report on the head-to-head showdown between you and director Zhang Yi!

Even if you know that the theme and type of "Orphaned" are impossible to sell "Ambush on All Sides", you still have to hype a wave...

Who knows when the next head-on war will be?

The cinema chain is also willing to cooperate with marketing, publicity...

Only when there is heat can someone care, and only when someone cares about it will someone buy a ticket!

Counting on a few popular films to make some money all year round...

Of course, Shen Xudong doesn't know this, he only knows that "Ambush on All Sides" has a lot of bad reviews, and the current situation is favorable to "Orphaned"...

Feng Xiaogang knows these things very well, so during the interview, he tried not to mention "Ambush on All Sides" - even if he didn't mention it, the media would report it!

I didn't expect Shen Xudong to say anything like 'at least 30 million box office'...

Say what is in his heart directly!

On the surface, he is angry, but in fact he is secretly happy...

……

After that, the media and reporters all mentioned 30 million...

Of course, the protagonist has become Feng Xiaogang, after all, he is the director!

After the convergence, at the beginning, Shen Xudong didn't have many opportunities to be in the limelight, but... From the third scene, reporters were more willing to talk to him!

Because what he said was interesting and logical!

"The figure of 30 million refers to the number of moviegoers exceeding one million, and I think with Director Feng's appeal, one million people is still no problem..."

"Some netizens said that the theme of '"Lost Orphans" should not be directed by three film directors like Feng Xiaogang, what do you think?"

"On the contrary, I think director Feng Xiaogang is the most suitable, a film that exposes serious social problems, and most audiences pay attention to it, not because of its artistic height, but because of its breadth of communication.

Commercialization means more consideration of the audience, then it is undoubtedly more popular, easy to understand, and easy to enter, which means that many people will buy it, which is what this type of film needs most.

It needs to be seen and talked about by more people, and the more the better. Getting others to face up to and pay attention to the problem of child abduction and trafficking is the biggest mission of "Orphaned". ”

"Consumption suffering? That said, there shouldn't have been a movie at all! ”

You see, each one is enough to make headlines, but it was still compared by Feng Xiaogang, although he was very modest in private and said that 'the subject matter is different, it can't be compared', but when he actually promoted it, he still said, 'I really want to cut off half of the rivers and mountains of "Ambush on All Sides" from the hands of Mr. Yimou. ’

Moreover, Feng Xiaogang proudly revealed that he would cooperate with Gong Li in three dramas next!

"Party A and Party B 2", "No Thieves in the World", "Mobile Phone 2"...

"It was introduced by Xudong... He has a good relationship with Gong Li..."

Thank you Director Feng for staying in your mouth and not saying anything messy...

As for the media...

It is impossible for a slightly more normal media to guess blindly because Feng Xiaogang said, 'They have a good relationship', do you think it is all Song Zude?

The focus of the report is; Feng Xiaogang holds hands with Gong Li and books three works!

Gong Li can be said to be the first female star in the mainland, and she has cooperated with Ah Mou and Yin Shi Xiaoren, and they are all at their peak!

Now I'm working with Feng Xiaogang...

What does that mean?

Anyway, many reporters wanted to inquire about Zhang Yi's opinion, but unfortunately, Ah Mou couldn't find anyone else in Athens, but Zhang Weiping took the initiative to say, 'This has nothing to do with us, it is her freedom to cooperate with whomever Gong Li is willing to cooperate!' ’

By the way, he also bombarded Feng Xiaogang, 'It's better to be sincere, don't think that it's great to catch Gong Li!' ’

Then, the excited reporter ran over to find Feng Xiaogang and asked him to respond...

What is it called?

Stir up trouble, media reporters like to scold wars, and if there is a scolding war, there will be sales!

Feng Xiaogang was of course angry, but he rarely shut up and didn't respond... How to say it, Feng Xiaogang probably admired Zhang Yimou, "I Dedicate My Youth to You", and sharply commented on several big directors.

Comment on Wang Jiawei: The most annoying thing for me is Wang Jiawei, there is no contradiction between the two of us. I think it's the emperor's new clothes, and he can't film his outfit without a script and can only go to foreigners - he can't deceive people. If he really has the ability, he will write a script for me to see! In this society, there are a bunch of people who like to platter people's stinky feet, and often have hot faces and cold butts;

Commenting on the little master of poetry: Director Chen is the most suitable to stay in the ivory tower, I feel that Director Chen has a halo on the back of his head, and his things are suitable for future generations to take out as historical research...

This is said as if what Director Chen is shooting is not in line with the present.

But he didn't write about Zhang Yimou, on the one hand, because of respect - the documentary "Feng Xiaogang One Day in 2000" said, 'In my eyes, Zhang Yimou and I are both different, we both belong to our own "slashing" out, there are not too many people to help you, and you can't point to it." ’

On the other hand, he previously commented that "Hero" had "no tension and no connotation", and then was bombarded by Zhang Weiping in various ways...

Feng Xiaogang said very loudly, "Director Zhang is preparing BJ in Athens for eight minutes, let's not disturb him!" ’

The reporters are quite helpless...

It's all like this? You don't respond either?

Too cowardly, right?

Then tentatively asked Shen Xudong what he thought about this matter...

Shen Xudong watched the whole trip, and his mood was actually the same as that of the reporters, very disappointed: Xiaogang, you have to stand up, are you worthy of the nickname of 'Little Steel Cannon'?

I've got to come!

Shen Xudong was full of firepower: "I read a report before that the second album opened up the blockbuster era, and I wondered, the investor and producer of "Hero" is not Hong Kong's Jiang Zhiqiang, how did he become Zhang Weiping? ”

"Jiang Zhiqiang invested in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before, and has experience in operating related types, so he invested in "Hero", I can understand..."

"I really don't know who this Zhang Weiping is... Do you know what he does? ”

"No matter what he does... Without director Zhang Yi, he is a fart, I have never seen such a capable producer, does he understand movies? Do you understand the market? ”
