There are two movies in this year's Golden Harvest New Year, "Lao Qian 2" and "Rage: Serious Case"

It's not a Chinese New Year file, to be precise, it's early November and mid-November.

The box office and word of mouth are good, especially "Rage: A Serious Case" was released for ten days, and the box office broke 500 million, setting a new high at the box office of Hong Kong-made police and gangster films... Maoyan predicts that the final box office can exceed 800 million!

As for "Lao Qian 2"...

has not been released yet, and it is estimated that the box office will be lower than that of "Rage: Serious Case", after all, the script and drama conflict of "Lao Qian 2" are weaker than "Lao Qian", and there are less important gimmicks.

It's just that the cyan drama of the edge ball has been deleted - after all, it has to be reviewed!

The original Korean version of "Lao Qian 2" is 19 ban...

In addition to a scene where the heroine strips naked, and the sexual AI scene of the hero and heroine, because of the particularity of the film's theme, violence and foul language are inevitable...

Why all this?

In fact, Korean films have been fully biased towards cyan since Chun Doo-hwan introduced the 3S policy in the 80s, no matter what type of theme, as long as you can join the passion play, you will never let it go.

Therefore, at the end of "New World", Huang Zhengmin complained, "What else can the theater have besides third-class films?" ’…

In this creative atmosphere, cyan has become an important symbol of Korean films!

In fact, until now, the Korean film industry still mass-produces a bunch of vulgar movies every year, and cheating and incest are daily topics, and a movie can be grinded for the theme of "whether I fight this cannon or not"...

This state of affairs lasted for twenty years!

That's right, for 20 years, 20 years of focusing on cyan films, the aesthetics of a generation have been affected.

The cyan depiction of the vast majority of Korean films is meaningless and nothing more than a cultural inertia...

However, when there is enough of one thing, the creator will force something that is particularly meaningless to make sense.

As a result, Korean directors have learned a magical skill: to make the scene used to sell meat into the most crucial event.

For example, in "Lao Qian 2", there is an extremely legitimate reason for the heroine to strip naked to prevent hiding cards.

In the first part of "Lao Qian", the heroine's breast-bursting shot is also...

Does it make sense?

There are still some, let's just talk about online articles, works that drive well will always be favored...

In fact, in addition to the "Red Chamber", there are relatively few descriptions of these in China's four famous novels, and the other three are all descriptions of Chiguoguo, and I still remember "Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao entered the Wancheng classic and asked, "Is there a prostitute here?" "And then... Lost the tiger general's beloved son.

Ahem, pull it back, Chen Xi mentioned "Taiping Wheel".

The producer of this drama is Zhang Jiazhen, Wu Yusen's old team, one of the representatives of the Hong Kong circle...

"I heard that Wu Yusen wanted to shoot "Taiping Wheel" in the 80s of the last century..."

"It's a cliché genre..."

To put it simply, "Taiping Wheel" is indeed an old theme from decades ago, and the best time for its birth was in the 80s, when the two sides of the strait had just reconciled, Taiwan was open to visiting relatives, and with the sad picture of veterans returning to their hometowns, the Taiping Wheel appeared in a grand manner, and the effect would definitely be 10,000 times better than that of the 21st century.

It's just that Wu Yusen at that time couldn't shoot at all!

At that time, there was no CG, you had to use models, plus swimming pools to make waves, to simulate the end of a ship, and shoot the best results, roughly the same level as the original Ultraman and black and white Godzilla you watched when you were a child...

"I heard that the investment cost is more than 400 million!"

"The top and bottom are added together... It is estimated that it is more than 200 million, or less than 400 million! ”

"It's hard to say... He used so many stars..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It's no fun to use anyone!" ”

"So sure?"

"Wu Yusen's reputation has been ruined because of the two parts of "Red Cliff", and the act of splitting a movie into two episodes to harvest the box office is shameless! And because of this, I lost my favor... Wu Yusen was not only not ashamed, but also ate the marrow and knew the taste, and when he was in "Taiping Wheel", he started the upper and lower episodes"

"There may be too much footage to shoot..."

""Taiping Wheel" is known as the "Oriental Titanic", and the original "Titanic" was not cut into two episodes..."

After listening to Shen Xudong's analysis, Chen Xi nodded and whispered, "No wonder..."

"What's the wonder?"

"No wonder you want to release "The Marquis of Huaiyin" on the same day as him... Make it clear, bully! ”

Shen Xudong was very calm: "Yes... I'm just bullying him! ”

……

"Taiping Wheel" has not been released, and it has been publicized with great fanfare - 1 billion guaranteed release!

In fact, Brother Song watched "Taiping Wheel" (above), to be honest, the pressure was huge...

He understands movies...

The theme of "Taiping Wheel" is difficult to shoot!

The last days draw the ship and sink in the quicksand. Lonely ministers, generations of metaphors.

If you don't shoot this subject matter well, don't move it, just wait for the unborn filmmaker to appear.

Wu Yusen tried to wrap the Kuomintang and the Communist Party's infighting, Sino-Japanese feud, and brotherhood in the panacea of love, to smear this post-apocalyptic giant ship called the "Taiping Wheel"...

He finally degenerated from a first-class Hong Kong director to a second-rate Hollywood businessman.

He didn't understand 1949, he didn't understand the peach blossom fan to mourn Jiangnan, and he was also superficial in love.

can only say that Hong Kong directors really don't understand Chinese history, and all the big-picture themes are like dealing with "Red Cliff", with two episodes, like TVB.

He thought that with some money and some effort, he would be able to shoot 1949?

That time, the life and death era, the Chinese nation almost made a choice in the self-cutting meridians...

Carefully select big stars to join the Chinese New Year stalls, taking into account the box office of the mainland, Japan, Taiwan and even South Korea...

But it doesn't work, you are wrong to choose love as the theme!

It's a pity that Brother Song has no second choice - "One Step Away" was won by Wanda's billion...

That... What to do?

Smash marketing, engage in publicity...

What fanfare!

I bought a bunch of hot searches to warm up, and found countless marketing accounts to write advertorials...

Then, I encountered the great power of "Interstellar" - "Interstellar" was released on November 14, in the first week, "Lao Qian 2" could still crush it with a box office of 202 million, and in the second week, "Interstellar" won 219 million box office, directly surpassing the 145 million of "Lao Qian 2", and in the third week, "Interstellar" still won 148 million box office...

The total box office directly surpassed "Lao Qian 2" - "Interstellar" was released for three weeks, with a cumulative box office of 578 million, and "Lao Qian 2" was only 502 million...

That is the "Lao Qian" series, the first movie with a box office of 180 million, ranking among the top three of the year!

It can only be said that "Interstellar" is really fierce...

"Interstellar" has dominated the discussion in recent times, that... Relatively speaking, the hot search of "Taiping Wheel" is very embarrassing...

Anyway, someone is paying attention...

It's useless, on December 2, "Taiping Wheel" (above) was released on the first day, winning 31% of the film schedule, and the theater gave 38,000 shows, which can be said to be unimportant!

However, the box office on the first day was less than 25 million...

The moment he saw the box office on the first day, Brother Song knew it was over!
