Chapter 35: Picking Off (1/4)
Shen Xudong is talking about "Welcome to Dragon Restaurant"...
The original time and space is the work of Bunkino.
The structure and story are very similar to "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and strictly follow the "Golden Fleece" story genre...
The protagonist "hits the road" in search of something, and after all the hardships, he finally discovers something else - himself!
The theme of the "Golden Fleece" type of film is the inner growth of the protagonist.
In fact, the plot is how the events of the conflict affect the protagonist.
So the key to making a good "Golden Fleece" movie is not the path traveled, but the way the protagonist changes along the way, and one of your jobs is to make those turning points closely related to the main character.
It's a simple take, set up a supporting role, and prompt him to change his behavior...
"I think I could make an action movie first, and then I can make 'Welcome to a Chinese Restaurant'..."
"I'm in my sixties..."
"Sylvester Stallone is almost 70, and he also filmed "The Expendables"!"
"Okay."
Cheng Long nodded: "The specific situation, we will discuss it again..."
"Okay," Shen Xudong changed the topic: ""Police Story 2013" is Ding Sheng looking for you? Or..."
"He found me, but the story was finally renamed "Police Story" because of the producer's idea..."
Yang Xiaomi, who has been silent, interjected: "Is there a lot of play in this scene?" ”
Hearing this, Cheng Long was very excited: "Originally, it was all about literary drama, when Ding Sheng told me this story, I couldn't wait for him to go to the toilet halfway, I must finish the story immediately... Originally, there weren't so many scenes, but I listened to the script at the time and thought it was very good, because there was a lot of acting and little action, and after filming the literary part, the director said, add two memories of the part, and as a result, I filmed a lot of action scenes. ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Long glanced at Yang Xiaomi: "Where have I seen you?" ”
"We've done commercials... In '03, a motorcycle advertisement..."
"Motorcycles?"
"Yes, you gave me an extra 50,000 yuan!"
Cheng Long immediately remembered, a little surprised: "Wow, you are so old..."
Shen Xudong was also surprised: "There is still this kind of fate? ”
Yang Xiaomi said it - that is, Cheng Lung and Yang Xiaomi filmed a motorcycle advertisement, because Yang Xiaomi gave Cheng Long a good impression, and when settling the remuneration, he casually asked, 'How much is the little girl?' People say, '600 yuan'...
Cheng Long was paid 500,000 yuan, so he told Party A to give Yang Xiaomi 50,000 yuan, and it was directly deducted from his remuneration.
Of course, the advertiser is not a fool, how can it really deduct money from Cheng Long's remuneration? Add Yang Xiaomi to 50,000 yuan - the brand pays anyway!
"And such fate..."
"Big brother, how is Jing Tian?"
Cheng Long pondered for a moment, and then said, "... Quite hard! ”
……
The original time and space, the box office of "Police Story 2013" is okay, although the reputation is not passing, but it is not bad, the media title: 'Domestic film "implanted in Jing Tian" has made initial achievements'...
In fact, purely from the perspective of movies, especially from the perspective of domestic police and bandit films, this is a movie with a high degree of completion.
The story is simple: the bandit avenges his sister, but he doesn't know who the killer is, so he ties everyone involved into a bar...
As for Jing Tian, she belongs to the chaos - a rebellious daughter.
The biggest problem is that this movie is actually called 'Police Story'!
The status of "Police Story", let's put it this way - although Jackie Chan has previously established his kung fu comedy style with "Drunken Fist" and "Serpentine Trickster", it is "Police Story" that really makes Jackie Chan a kung fu superstar.
In "Police Story", Cheng Long is really acting with his life!
The film's various stunt shots are dizzying, this kind of life-fighting spectacle, extremely tense and exciting fighting methods are eye-opening and exciting, and have established Chenglong's status as a kung fu star.
After that, "Police Story Sequel", "Police Story 3", and "Police Story 4" maintained a very high standard!
Let's put it this way, the "Police Story" series, which is considered one of the best series in the history of action movies, defines a new height of action movies.
As an action movie, Cheng Long's "Police Story" is comparable to Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen" and Lee's "Jingwu Heroes"!
A masterpiece of your career!
The most important, successful, and highest-level film series is an insurmountable peak for both Chinese action films and global action movies.
In fact, Chen Jiaju has been acquired with Golden Harvest...
"New Police Story", his name is Chen Guangrong, and "Police Story 2013" is called Zhong Wen...
But your name is "Police Story", and when you advertise it, you also said that "Cheng Long held a premiere in Beijing with the sixth "Police Story" series of films "Police Story 2013"...
Then the audience naturally thinks that this is a "Police Story" style movie.
Then, a big disappointment!
Cheng Long's consistent style: witty humor + fast-paced fighting...
Not a single one in Police Story 2013!
And Cheng Long was beaten quite badly...
This... How can you accept it, plus the director added three memories in order to make up the time, which complicates the whole simple story a bit...
Also Nima made a 3D version...
By the way, there is also Jing Tian's eviction effect...
So much so that "Police Story 2013" only collected a little more than 500 million under the premise of having no opponents...
But in this time and space, Jing Tian is likable, and Liu Ye, who plays the villain, has the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, and the theater is very optimistic about this movie.
……
"Police Story 2013" was released on the 24th, focusing on Christmas and New Year's Day...
It has not been released yet, and for Tianmei Media, the opponent of "Police Story 2013" is actually "Earth Fire", which was released on December 30...
The most important work at the moment is "Charlotte's Troubles"...
In the next few days, Shen Xudong continued to brush his face, various activities, interviews, and interviews, striving for the exposure of "Charlotte"...
The main creative team is also very powerful, especially Yang Xiaomi-Shen Teng and Mary are going to participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala...
Regarding this, the propagandist of "Charlotte" believes that "Feng Xiaogang did it on purpose!" , using the director's authority to frame the two protagonists of the movie and prevent them from running the roadshow...
But this thing can't be refused, the Spring Festival Gala does have to be rehearsed...
What? Shen Teng and Mary will not participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala?
This kind of thing is impossible - Twist needs the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and Shen Teng and Mary also need it.
And it's the general who personally ordered it above, and you said that if you don't participate, you won't participate?
It's useless, the reputation of "Private Custom" is too poor, and the box office was overtaken by "Charlotte" on the second day of release - the former has a single-day box office of 66 million, and "Charlotte" has 71 million...
On the third day, Saturday, "Charlotte" received 92 million in a single day, and "Private Custom" was 72 million...
On the fourth day, Sunday, the gap was completely widened - "Charlotte" was 81 million in a single day, and "Private Custom" was 54 million...
As of December 23, "Charlotte's Troubles" was released for 12 days, with a cumulative box office of 872 million, breaking the speed of "Thai Embarrassment"...
Most importantly, the performance of "Charlotte" in the second weekend crushed "Private Custom" - the latter was released for four days and had a box office of 263 million!
The king of the Lunar New Year stalls fell twice in a row...
