A collection of short stories... In fact, it's a platter movie!

Unlike the well-known 'Me and My XX' series, our domestic platter movies were the first to be in the love genre!

The earliest may be Zhang Yang's "Love Malatang" in 1999, although the film has little influence in the film market, but many pairs of love stories between men and women provide a basic object for subsequent imitators.

Most of the time, platter movies are small probability events that directors occasionally do, until the birth of "Love in the City", which turned love platter movies into genre films with Chinese characteristics.

In 2010, Wang Jiawei's royal photographer Xia Yongkang shot his first feature film, and the connections accumulated in the Hong Kong circle allowed him to invite many celebrities to make cameos, and the form of platter movies reduced the difficulty of writing and shooting to a certain extent, and finally harvested 129 million box office, becoming a typical example of the unprecedented success of platter movies, and also promoted the popularity of love platter movies since then.

After the city's love won a high box office, Xia Yongkang struck while the iron was hot, and together with his partner Chen Guohui, he invited many well-known big-name actors to shoot "Global Love" in the same form, and once again received a box office of 58.18 million.

In fact, this kind of movie is all a routine, a love story, and a star-studded show.

The selling point is the star!

Because it is a collection of short films, the shooting time is short, and these stars will not be delayed for too long, as long as the money is in place or the relationship is in place, it can basically be done.

Shen Xudong's impression of the largest platter movie on the theme of love is "Ben Love", Guan Hu, Teng Huatao, Gao Qunshu, Zhang Meng, Zhang Yibai five directors are in charge, the five stories take place in 5 regions around the world, and there are also Zhang Ziyi, Peng Yuyan, Tong Liya, Zhou Dongyu and other big-name stars participated...

And it was also released on Valentine's Day, and the final box office was 47 million, with a Douban score of 4.0 points...

Fiasco!

The movie version of "Northern Love"... Shen Xudong didn't have any impression, he just remembered that the box office was good...

Therefore, Shen Xudong took the initiative to propose that he make a version...

Chen Sicheng understands commercial films - the essence of commercial films can be boiled down to one sentence: do enough superficial work.

Don't think that this is very simple, many directors don't care about this at all, such as "Wuji", not only will it not please you, but you will also wait for the audience to worship it...

There are also many young generations who don't have the ability and have a lot of tones!

Shen Xudong chatted with him for a while...

It's quite speculative, but the occasion is not suitable, and I made an appointment to discuss it in detail tomorrow morning...

……

Xu Ke's movie, the most powerful thing is his aesthetics and editing...

His martial arts innovated the brocade hat mink fur in one fell swoop, and the old Hong Kong-style martial arts pattern of the 14 states with a sword frost!

But to say that he is a film artist, it is not enough, after all, he is a Hong Kong director!

There are many, many directors in Hong Kong, but only a few can be regarded as pure film art directors, that is, they strive for perfection and are uncompromising as if they were works of art.

Xu is not!

Although he has created many pioneers and times of Hong Kong films, he is not the kind of person who treats movies as art.

Therefore, most of his works are full of imagination and bold production, and even profound truths, but after all, many details are coarse, and there is a lack of willingness to go deeper in art.

To put it mildly: the text is a bit rough, the narrative line is often sacrificed, the rationality often needs to be questioned, and the back of the imagination is the lack of logic!

He's more of an effect.

Therefore, he considers that when he wants to achieve this result, he will not work the details, and even often compromise, to the time schedule, to the capital, etc...

Even with the blessing of Shen Xudong, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is still not qualified to become a classic movie...

Shen Xudong changed the main line - Yu Huatian's perverted 'love' for Zhao Huai'an...

Yu Huatian wanted to take the throne by killing Zhao Huai'an, this was an obvious motive and an ambitious side, so he tried his best and devoted his manpower to do this. The big head of the West Factory, the head of the second gear, and even he himself went to Longmen. There is a saying: I will take care of the things that you can manage in the East Factory, and I will also take care of the things that you can not manage in the East Factory! He is living up to his promises.

In his mind, Wan Guifei is a tool, Dongchang is a group of waste, and only Zhao is worthy of being his opponent.

Power and wealth can no longer satisfy him, what he wants is to win Zhao Huai'an head-on!

The original version needs to speculate slowly about this mentality, but this time Shen Xudong added a few words, which directly showed it...

In addition, the changes that 3D brings to the audiovisual language may be similar to that of the widescreen back then, which made the lens length generally increase, and Xu Ke's scissors were limited as a result. This time it mainly relies on Weiya and it is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"-style Weiya, Xu Ke is good at handling small spaces not as chic as large spaces, which may also be related to the bias on Weiya effect this time.

And the action design is not awesome...

The thrill is more about throwing darts - because the martial arts instructor doesn't know how to use 3D to show hand-to-hand combat and cold weapon combat, basically the battle is flying around with hidden weapons...

And also... Xu Ke's purpose in doing this scene is to experiment with 3D martial arts...

So, big scenes are needed!

There are still tornadoes ...

But it's worth it: the 3D looks really good!

At the end of the film screening, Shen Xudong took the stage to express his impressions:

Cameron used 3D to shoot "Avatar", and director Tsui Hark used 3D to shoot "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and now it seems that this thing is reliable.

Hollywood's 3D blockbusters use a lot of motion capture and CG technology, the main 3D picture is actually mostly completed with CG, and the animation is colorful, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" mainly relies on live performance, from this point of view, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is placed in the coordinates of the world's 3D movies, and it also has a place, especially compared with pseudo-3D like "Battle of the Gods", "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is more impressive.

From the perspective of Chinese film history, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" can be called the first real Chinese 3D movie.

It can be seen that the whole "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", photography, art, editing, from the early stage to the later stage, are all built around the 3D effect as the core, from the beginning of the shipyard paragraph, the 3D effect is shocking! ”

Before the host could ask again, Shen Xudong pointed to Zhang Yimou, who was sitting in the audience: "It's better to let Director Zhang evaluate it!" ”

"It's really powerful, it's more violent than I thought..."

……

Shen Xudong praised "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" on his Weibo as usual.

Don't talk about the plot, just talk about 3D...

Oh, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" will be released at 6 pm on December 23, and the box office on the first day is 14.8 million - the 3D ticket price is five yuan more expensive than ordinary movies!

The word-of-mouth is okay, at least crushing Xu Jinglei's "Intimate Enemy" in the same period - I really don't understand why Xu Jinglei released the movie at this time, the two movies "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" occupy all the media resources, and no one cares about you when you release it at this time.

It doesn't matter, it's produced by PropNex anyway...

The next morning, Shen Xudong made an appointment with Chen Sicheng and Ning Hao at the racecourse...

Ning Hao also met at the premiere of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"...
