On February 9th, "Iron Fist of Shame" opened the premiere of five cities across the country, and director Shen Junsheng and starring Ai Lun and Mary landed in Pengcheng for the first time.

There was a lot of laughter at the premiere, with Ellen and Mary's impromptu performance detonating the atmosphere, and the premiere film screening triggered waves of laughter in the screening hall. After the premiere, the reporter randomly interviewed the audience, and the vast majority of the audience said that the quality of the movie was extremely high, and it was not inferior to the "People in Embarrassment" series and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which have always been known as the ceiling of domestic comedy.

According to director Shen Junsheng, the next movie will premiere in Jiangcheng, Shencheng, Modu and Beijing, and some viewers immediately said that they would rush to Jiangcheng for the second time.

On February 10th, the movie came to Jiangcheng, the second stop of the premiere in five cities, and after watching the film, the audience praised the endless laughter in the film, and many people posted on the Internet afterwards: "It's very joyful, my abdominal muscles are out of laughter, and I will go to the theater on the first day of the New Year!" ”

At the same time, the discussion on the Internet about this year's Spring Festival stalls is also becoming more and more intense.

Movie it.

"Iron Fist of Shame VS Tianjiang Lion VS Zhong Kui Fu Demon VS Macau Fengyun VS Wolf Totem, which one are you going to watch during the Spring Festival this year? Really online and so on! ”

""The Iron Fist of Shame", it is said that the word-of-mouth of the premiere has exploded, and the Internet is saying that it is not inferior to "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

"The Spring Festival file is made by Huashang, in the past, the Spring Festival file was just a small tail that was not taken seriously by the New Year file, but I didn't expect it to become the first big schedule of the year now, look at this year's new film lineup, not to mention that the movie is good, at least the big investment is piled up."

"The reputation of "Iron Fist of Shame" is indeed very explosive, and the reviews of several film critics who are currently concerned are good, but it is not ruled out that it may be charged, and now Huashang also has fan filters, and sometimes the word-of-mouth is not accurate."

"Top "Macau Storm 2""

"Macau 1 is a bad movie, and 2 is probably not much better."

"What about Uncle Long's lion?"

"It's not good to say, it shouldn't be too ugly, but it's hard to say how good-looking it is, Uncle Long's most amazing movies in the past ten years have all been cooperated with Li Mu, and it turns out that Uncle Long's works are indeed becoming more and more mediocre after leaving Li Mu."

"If you only watch one, you must choose "Iron Fist of Shame"! Huashang's comedy doesn't say how amazing it is, at least it hasn't made people regret it after watching it, right? I heard that the main line of the story is still thought by Li Mu himself, and after several years of polishing of the drama, as well as the production led by Huashang's Tiantuan team, the quality will definitely not be bad. ”

"Pengcheng, Jiangcheng and Shencheng, I personally chased three stations, and I watched them all three times, and I still smiled when I watched it for the third time, I highly recommend it!"

"I'm also most optimistic about "Iron Fist of Shame", but I don't need to blow the main line that Li Mu thinks about himself, in recent years, Huashang's movies have been promoted at every turn to promote the main line that Li Mu thinks about himself, I wonder if Li Mu is Superman? I also write books, make movies and act, and I can't help but think of a movie main line to improve below, although I like Li Mu very much, I still think that he and Hua Shang are now a little bit of a consumer of the audience's trust. ”

"Hua Shang really dares to use people, can the two of Aylen and Mary afford a 2 billion-level movie? Will go to see it, but not very optimistic. ”

There are all kinds of discussions among netizens, some like Huashang movies very much, and some especially hate them, no matter how good a movie is, it is impossible for everyone to like it, but in any case, Huashang films never seem to lack popularity. Especially now, the Spring Festival is approaching, and anyone on the Internet who talks about the films that will be released in the near future does not fail to mention "Iron Fist of Shame".

The promotion of the movie "Iron Fist of Shame" is in full swing, and Li Mu is not idle at this time, in addition to all kinds of trivial things every day, the most important thing for him in the near future is two things: one is to stare at the post-production work of "The Hunger Games 3"; The second is to continue to promote the later preparations for "Edge of Tomorrow".

A few years ago, the company held a preparatory meeting for "Edge of Tomorrow", in addition to Li Mu, Liu Siying, Chen Zhixi and other senior executives of the company, China Film also specially sent people to come over to observe.

Chairman Han Sanping has officially retired, and the newly appointed Chairman Pei Kang is ambitious to make some big moves.

When China Film was in the hands of Han Sanping, it successively participated in the investment of Huashang Media's "Inception", "Gravity", "The Martian" and a series of super blockbusters that swept the world.

Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" is the first fire after taking office, and Huashang Media's "Edge of Tomorrow" is another. Compared with "The Great Wall", Chairman Pei is of course more optimistic about Li Mu's "Edge of Tomorrow".

Directed by Li Mu himself, co-starring Li Mu and Liu Yifei, in terms of the production team and performance lineup, "Edge of Tomorrow" is not inferior to most of Li Mu's previous hit works.

At the meeting, everyone focused on the basic setting of the movie, in fact, this time Li Mu did not completely copy the setting of the original movie as usual.

In the original movie, the European continent has completely fallen, and China and Russia have blocked the attack of alien creatures in the east, while the Western legion led by the United States has landed in Normandy, France, the back of the aliens, to reduce the pressure on China and Russia on the Eastern Front battlefield and assist China and Russia to completely drive alien creatures into the sea.

If it was ten years ago, Li Mu would definitely still shoot according to this setting, but now the situation has changed.

Recently, several blockbusters invested by Huashang Media have surpassed the overseas box office in the mainland, and the ceiling of a single film in the mainland market has exceeded the 4 billion yuan mark today, and the logic of Huashang's investment in blockbusters has also changed.

In the past, Huashang invested in a sci-fi blockbuster, if the overseas box office was over, then the overall box office of the blockbuster would also be over, and at that time, the blockbuster with an investment of 100 million US dollars was all supported by the overseas market, and without the big sales in the overseas market, the film would not be profitable.

Now that Huashang is investing in a blockbuster, the overseas box office is still important, but the importance of the mainland market is also increasing.

For the mainland market, the protagonist team from Huaxia organized a Normandy landing operation in France.

And it's not difficult to change the setting.

For example, the original version is that alien creatures landed in Europe, and then Europe fell, and China and Russia resisted in the East, and finally the United States landed behind the monster to open up a second battlefield, and this time and space can be completely changed to alien creatures landing in Europe and East Asia at the same time!

Then the coasts of Europe and East Asia all fell, and the Chinese fought on both the eastern and western fronts in the northwest of China, and successfully blocked the attack of alien creatures.

Then the United States advocated the implementation of landing operations behind the alien creatures to relieve the pressure on the Chinese army, as for the choice of landing sites, on the surface, the human army attacked Normandy with great fanfare, but in fact, the real elite was ready to raid the magic capital occupied by aliens at any time.

It seems that the massive Normandy landings turned out to be just a feint to paralyze alien creatures, and the magic capital, which seems to be not the best choice, is the real goal of the human army.

And the seemingly unexpected actions of human beings have long been discovered by alien creatures with special functions of traversing, which is just in line with the setting of the original movie.

Li Mu feels that as soon as the landmark buildings of the magic capital appear in the movie, the sense of substitution of the domestic audience will come.

And to carry out landing operations along the coast of China, it is even more difficult for the Huaxia side to send the most elite squads.

After discussing the plot, everyone then discussed the casting of the film.

In fact, the casting of the film has been discussed many times within the company before, and there are some preliminary candidates, among which the most important male and female protagonists in the film have already been set Li Mu and Liu Yifei, and the importance of the other roles is average.

Among them, the general who forced the male protagonist to go to the front line to participate in the war at the beginning of the film, Li Youbin and Zhang Fengyi had the highest voice in the previous discussion, both of them have starred in many military-themed film and television dramas, and the role of the general played by the two is also very popular.

But today, Li Mu has a new perspective on this role.

"Li Youbin and Zhang Fengyi are both good, but they still feel a little wrong."

Liu Siying asked: "What exactly does it feel wrong?" ”

Li Mu shook his head, he was still just a feeling.

Chen Zhixi frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "The role of the general, I feel that he is neither the image of an iron-blooded and wise commander, nor the image of a stupid old stubborn straw bag, but should be in between, too iron-blooded and wise, the protagonist team will not be so difficult to complete the task, too straw bag, it is a bit unreasonable to be able to get the appointment of a super battle like commanding and opening up the second battlefield." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's pretty much what it means." ”

Chen Zhi regretted: "Why don't you find an actor with a bloated figure?" The clumsiness of the fat man's mobility is used, but in fact this does not affect his job as a qualified commander. ”

"You can try." Li Mu said.

I remember that the role of the general in the original movie was a fat man.

Chen Zhixi said at this time: "How is Teacher Liang Guanhua? The clip of Mr. Liang reprimanding Wang Xiaojie in Di Renjie is very impressive. ”

Li Mu looked at the other people, and when he saw that everyone nodded, he said, "It's so decided, and I will invite Mr. Liang to audition after the year." ”

There is also a non-commissioned officer chief in the remaining more important roles, that is, the one who punished the protagonist's team to do push-ups, and then the protagonist rolled into the bottom of the car and was crushed to death, at that time he frowned and said, "What is this mentally retarded in his head", this role Li Mu intends to invite Hu Jun to play.

Hua Shang and Hu Jun have cooperated many times before, and Hu Jun's acting skills have also been recognized by Li Mu.

There is also a female warrior in the film, this character is mixed with a group of male warriors, hooking shoulders and backs, grinning, which is an embellishment in the team, this role is secondary, the key is to be able to fight.

Li Mu originally wanted to invite Xin Zhilei to act, her play in "Celebrating More Than Years" was good, and the knife in "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" was also amazing, but only Li Mu knew this at present, because at this point in time, "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" was not even ready for the script.

However, Xin Zhilei has already signed a drama after the year, and she is still the heroine, so Li Mu can only find another candidate here.

Xin Zhilei's resources are good after "Celebrating More Than Years", and in recent years, she has also taken on some film and television dramas with the leading role, at this time, a supporting actress with few scenes, even if it is Li Mu's play, is indeed not as attractive to her as the heroine of another drama.

If it was Li Mu who invited her to play the heroine of the new film, would she rather offend the crew who had signed the contract to death than push it to play Li Mu's drama believe it or not?

"Let's wait for this role to be officially cast in the next year!"

In the end, Li Mu made a final decision.

As for the other characters in the protagonist's team, Li Mu still wants to stuff a few foreigners in, and he must be a little famous, similar to Matt Damon.

It's right to pay more attention to the mainland market, but the overseas market also has to be taken into account, even if it is not as good as the mainland market, how can it be said that it is about 300 million yuan, and it is still a dollar, how can Li Mu give up easily?

At the end of the meeting, everyone naturally mentioned the Spring Festival stalls that were about to start, and when it came to this year's Spring Festival stalls, the mentality of the person who came from Zhongying was a little entangled.

"Wolf Totem", which was also released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, was filmed by his China Film Investment, and now it has met Huashang Media's "Iron Fist of Shame", can there still be good fruits to eat?

Fortunately, in "Iron Fist of Shame", China Film has also invested, although its share is far less than that of "Wolf Totem".

Then the time soon came to February 19, 2015, and this year's Spring Festival officially opened.

……

Beijing, Wanda Cinema.

A young couple walks up to the automatic ticket machine.

"This year, the theater is so lively, there are so many people in the morning." The woman sighed with emotion while looking around.

The man's Marie took the ticket, and the words "Iron Fist of Shame" were written on the face of the ticket.

"Of course, there are seven blockbusters released during the Spring Festival this year, which must be more lively than in previous years, but although there are many new films this year, it is a pity that there are no works that are too eye-catching."

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but pout: "Isn't "Iron Fist of Shame" enough to make people shine? How fun it is for Elen and Mary to swap souls! ”

The man's forehead: "This is still eye-catching?" This idea must have been around at least twenty years ago, right? ”

The woman asked rhetorically: "A trick to eat and change the sky, take your favorite entertainment as an example, ten years ago it was the protagonist who traveled back to copy Li Mu's works, and ten years later, the protagonist traveled back to copy Li Mu's works, and you have been watching the same routine for ten years, and you still haven't watched it with relish?" ”

The man was speechless, but he still couldn't help but complain: "But you said that if you don't copy Li Mu, how else can you write it?" Can't write! If you really want to bypass Li Mu and his Huashang films, then this category can simply be canceled. ”

The woman smiled happily: "Then it's not over?" The same is true for the soul exchange of men and women, not afraid of old routines, just look good! ”

The man nodded: "That's right, but in the end, it depends on whether the movie itself is interesting or not." ”

……

Magic City, the entrance of a certain theater.

Two people who looked like reporters stopped a couple.

"Excuse me, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes, just ask!"

"May I ask what do you think is the most anticipated movie for this year's Spring Festival?"

"Iron Fist of Shame!"

"Have you already bought tickets?"

"Yes, I booked it on Maoyan Movie, and we grabbed a ticket for 9.9, which is very cheap."

"It's cheap."

"Thank you Li Mu, thank you Maoyan, a ticket in front of a cat's eyes is often fifty or sixty, and you don't dare to enter the theater at that time."

……

Xijing, a residential building.

A man in his mid-thirties shouted in the direction of the dressing room: "Wife, hurry up, the movie will start in half an hour." ”

Soon a voice came from the dressing room: "It's still half an hour, what's the hurry." ”

After a long while, the woman finally came out of the dressing room.

The man immediately sighed: "You said that when he was in school, Li Mu was smart, but who would have thought that he would develop like this in the future?" In less than ten years, the development of Huashang Media is no worse than that of Warner. ”

It turned out that the man was Li Mu's high school classmate, and now it has become a good conversation point when he chats with people. Speaking of which, his wife is still a fan of Li Mu, and he has to find Li Mu for an autograph by plane for thousands of miles, and later he successfully approached the goddess with a photo with Li Mu in high school.

"Eh, you said you were also high school classmates, when can't you organize a high school reunion?"

The man pouted: "Come on, it's really organized, it is estimated that Li Mu will not go, and people are not in the same circle as their high school classmates now." ”

The woman also mentioned it casually, and as soon as she heard her husband say that there was no drama, she immediately changed the topic and said: "Li Mu really didn't talk about a girlfriend when he was in high school?" ”

"Definitely not!"

"It can't be there but you didn't notice it, he's so good, are all the girls in your high school blind?"

"Why are you asking about this?"

"I'm just curious, if anything, what do you think of those women when they see Li Mu develop like this now?"

"What else can you think, regret!"

The woman's desire to speak stopped.

Just now she suddenly thought that if she was also Li Mu's high school female classmate, then no matter if she could marry him seriously in the future, she would directly push down the other party, it was best to conceive a child for him, and then just don't tell him, and wait for him to come to the door with the child more than ten years later...... God, the plot of the idol drama!

was thinking wildly, when I heard my husband urging next to me: "Let's go, the movie should start soon." ”

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole country was full of people who bought tickets to watch "Iron Fist of Shame", although Li Mu was neither the director of the film, nor the protagonist of the film, but the probability of him appearing in the audience's mouth was not low at all, and sometimes even surpassed the film's heroes and heroines Eren and Mary.

Nowadays, "produced by Huashang Media" is a well-known signboard, and among the target groups of "Iron Fist of Shame", there are not a few groups who choose to buy tickets because of the signboard of Huashang Media, and when it comes to the golden signboard of Huashang Media, it often leads the topic to Li Mu and Liu Yifei.

It's really too much of a topic for the two of them, and it's too hot.

Two hours later, the first movie ended on the morning of New Year's Day, and almost everyone who walked out of the theater had a smile on their faces, many of whom were discussing the highlights of the film.

A reporter stopped the audience and asked how they felt about watching the movie.

"It's funny, it's been a long time since I've seen such a good comedy!"

"A guy in front of me laughed, really!"

"I kind of want to brush it twice, and I feel that the laughter is more dense than "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

"Mary Allen praised, I was a little worried that the two of them couldn't support the movie before watching it, and after watching it, I felt that whoever played the movie was not as suitable as these two people!"

"It doesn't feel like there's any depth, and the terrier is a little old, but I can't help but laugh when I watch it in the audience, I can't help it, I think the movie, being happy is the most important thing!"

"'Three Pains' movie, laughing until your face hurts your stomach, and you hold it until your bladder hurts."

"To tell the truth, the movie doesn't have much depth, but there is only one company in China that can make comedies that don't have much depth!"

"It feels average, but I really can't help but laugh at the scene."

On the whole, "Iron Fist of Shame" was decently evaluated by film critics, but the on-site response of the film in theaters was overwhelming, and almost every local theater would trigger round after round of laughter when it was screened.

Director Shen Junsheng, Mary, and Ai Lun also clearly felt the enthusiasm of the audience when they ran the roadshow, and at this time, the hearts of the two who were worried that they would not be able to support a hit movie finally put it back into their stomachs a little.

It seems that the results of "Iron Fist of Shame" far exceed the previous estimates of the two?

The time soon came to the next day, and Li Mu, Liu Siying, Chen Zhixi, Shen Junsheng and others also received the exact box office statistics on the first day of the film.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you receive the exact number or not, because as early as ten o'clock last night, Maoyan Movie had already calculated the box office of the film on the first day through an algorithm in advance, although the data of Maoyan Movie was not very accurate, but it also showed a rough idea.

257 million yuan.

Ranked first among the films released during the Spring Festival!
