Chapter 92: The Blockbuster Era (Ask for Everything)
There was a short silence, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Wang Xun thought to himself: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, hurry up." ”
So, he swallowed his saliva: "Han understands, why don't I go home now and report a message?" ”
Han Sanping thought for a moment, and felt that he should add a yard to the scale, and his tone was disdainful: "The surname Zhang has some ability, and he can gnaw such a piece of meat in the negotiation with the theater chain." ”
The surname Zhang in his mouth is not Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Weiping, the boss of New Picture Pictures.
Before the release of "Hero", he kept "sitting down and talking" with theater representatives, and finally increased the proportion of the film's account sharing to 40%.
You must know that after the fiasco of the last movie, Zhang Yimou's market appeal has been questioned.
makes the national audience look forward to it, so the theater chain will loosen its mouth, making "Hero" the first person to eat crabs after the theater reform.
Han Sanping paused, turned his head to look at Wu Ershan, the love general, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to him, Xiao Wu's next movie can also get the same share." ”
Wu Ershan's expression was slightly excited: "Han Dong, have you read the new book?" ”
Han Sanping smiled and pointed at Wu Ershan: "Well, that's good."
It's much easier to pass the review than "Don't Believe in Fate"!
You, you, don't write a book like "Soap Opera", don't be banned like those sixth generations!
Isn't it good to make your romance movie well?
The big directors who can make commercial films in China are you and the pants. ”
Wu Ershan scratched his head: "Thanks to Han for his love!" ”
Han Sanping turned his head to Wang Xun and instructed: "Wang Xun, ask your cousin's Caiye Network to promote the movie well, the Internet is a new thing." ”
Wang Xun raised his eyebrows, why is this still missing?
He turned his head to look at Yu Dong, who was smiling, and instantly understood!
This fat fox is really a loyal subordinate!
Wang Xun hurriedly replied: "Han understands, no problem, I'll call him." ”
With that, he quickly took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket.
Han Sanping was very satisfied with Wang Xun's attitude, pressed Wang Xun's hand, and smiled kindly: "No, just call Uncle Han in the future, and introduce me to the house when I have time to get close to my daughter, you are all good friends of the same age." ”
No, how does this smell of a son-in-law?
Wang Xun felt that Yang Xiaomi's eyes began to mean that he wanted to eat people, and hurriedly got up and waved his hand: "Uncle Han, don't worry, I will definitely persuade my mother when I go home at night."
I will visit your home often in the future!
Mimi and I still have classes in the afternoon, so we left first. ”
Han Sanping got up with a smile and shook hands with Wang Xun: "Study hard and go to Yandian in the future."
The future of cinema depends on you young people. ”
Wang Xun was shocked by these words, and he looked at Yu Dong, who gave him a meaningful look.
Wang Xun bowed solemnly: "Uncle Han, the pressure you are giving is a bit big!"
The boy's shoulders are a little thin, and I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it. ”
Han Sanping smiled and patted Wang Xun's shoulder: "Young people, there is pressure to be motivated." ”
Wang Xun nodded solemnly.
As soon as he came out of the gate of Zhongying, Wang Xun felt that he had been soaked in sweat.
I don't know if it's hot or scary.
Yang Xiaomi shook her little arm with a resentful face and followed closely behind Wang Xun, shouting, "Make trouble, you wait for me." ”
Wang Xun stood still, took a deep breath, stroked his hair, and hid his merit and fame.
Yang Xiaomi caught up with Wang Xun, glared at her, sighed twice, and her brain suddenly stuck.
There was a bit of a bitter tone, and it took a while to hold back a sentence: "Make trouble." ”
Wang Xun turned around, looked at Yang Xiaomi and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”
"I don't think I'm worthy of you."
"What's that?"
"What do you mean?"
"You're so good, sister, I'm under a lot of pressure!"
Yang Xiaomi sighed.
Well?
Is this coquettish or complaining?
No matter what, it will be handled as coquettish!
Wang Xun wrapped his arms around Yang Xiaomi's small waist and started performance art in a serious manner at the door of Zhongying.
She hid in Wang Xun's arms and said to herself:
"In the past, I always felt that the male or female protagonist depicted in the TV series was too good, and it was a lie to make people ashamed of themselves.
How is it possible, if the two don't like each other, then it is impossible to be together.
And since they are all together, the other party should be proud of their excellence. ”
"This..."
Although I don't know why Yang Xiaomi talked about this, Wang Xun still nodded: "Huh? And then what? ”
"You watched "Hero" once, and you said such a long movie review, but what about me?
When Uncle Han asked, my head was empty at the time, and I just said that the scenery was good. Yang Xiaomi's tone was lost, and tears had begun to slide.
"Mimi, what the hell are you going to say?"
Yang Xiaomi shook her head, raised the back of her hand and touched her tears: "I don't know what I'm going to say, it's the first time I feel like I'm not worthy of you by your side." ”
Wang Xun touched her head with his hand and muttered, "It's not hot, it's not feverish!" Is it a neuropathy? ”
If it were usual, Yang Xiaomi would probably be furious when she heard the word "neurosis", but she was particularly persistent today: "I'm serious."
Suddenly I feel that you are so powerful, and I am so small!
How can someone as small as me be with you?
I'm not going to be jealous!
Ah!
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, you let go! ”
Wang Xun pulled her face out of an exaggerated arc, and even the moment she let go, her cheeks made a "wave" sound, highlighting the rich collagen contained in this face.
"What nonsense? According to your meaning, if a powerful person doesn't marry a wife?
Newton, Edison, Watt, and even Qin Shi Huang, Xuanyuan, and Emperor Yan couldn't marry wives?
Install the latest version. 】
Do powerful people deserve to be single for the rest of their lives?
What nonsense? ”
"......" Yang Xiaomi rubbed her cheeks and looked up at him speechlessly: "Then why are you pinching me!" It hurts! ”
"It hurts!" Wang Xun rolled his eyes: "Let you be sober and sober, don't think about it all the time." ”
Yang Xiaomi opened her mouth dissatisfied: "But I'm telling the truth!"
You see, you can write songs, you can write, you can write a screenplay, and you can be a film critic.
You're so good, so good, I'm so panicked, okay? ”
"Then try to make yourself better, little fool."
"Huh?" Hearing his words, Yang Xiaomi's eyes suddenly became dangerous.
The crew of "Tianlong", Murong's family has no learning, and he slows down his body with his own way.
Without saying a word, she grabbed Wang Xun's ear: "Okay! You're going to change your mind, aren't you? ”
Wang Xun cried out in pain: "Crazy, you? ”
"I don't care, I don't care, you have to change your mind, you have to change your mind, you have to change your mind!"
"No, why do you repeat it three times?"
"Learn from you, because say important things three times!"
"How can I talk like that, you neurotic!"
Wang Xun, who was completely speechless, grabbed her hand directly, pulled away his hot ears, and said angrily:
"Can you stop being a demon?"
"Humph!" She snorted angrily, but immediately a W shape appeared in her mouth, and another cute expression came online.
"Then you won't say something nice to coax me?"
"For example?"
"Like I'm not going to leave you for the rest of my life."
"I will never leave you for the rest of my life."
"it!" The rare Yang Xiaomi was rude, and when she heard Wang Xun's words, Sun Erniang of the second middle school reappeared in the rivers and lakes in an instant: "Wang Xun! Can you please stop being so perfunctory to me? ”
"No, what am I perfunctory?
Let's get back to it, don't make trouble.
You have to be reasonable in everything, right? ”
"Who do you say is vexatious! You're being vexatious! ”
"I'm not making trouble, you're making trouble.
Well?
This word seems familiar, huh? ”
"It's still a good thing!"
"What I said, watch less Qiong Yao's dramas in the future!"
Yang Xiaomi's tone softened: "I know, I know, you say something nice!" ”
Wang Xun smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely be yours, no one can snatch it away!" ”
Yang Xiaomi can be regarded as returning to normal, arrogant: "Stinky and shameless, who is rare?" ”
Wang Xun raised his eyebrows: "Mimi, what do you belong to?" ”
Yang Xiaomi glanced at Wang Xun: "We were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, what do you say?" ”
Wang Xun thought to himself: "You don't follow the routine! ”
In order to keep the routine going, he said persistently: "Tell me, what do you belong to? ”
Yang Xiaomi thought that she had just quarreled, but she still cooperated, and smiled sweetly: "It's a tiger." ”
Wang Xun's expression was extremely serious, and his tone was sincere: "No, you belong to me." ”
"Poof"
Yang Xiaomi smiled and covered her stomach and squatted down.
Yang Xiaomi's earthy love words resistance +1.
。。。
Dec. 14, 4 p.m.
The premiere of "Hero" was held in the Great Hall of the People, and Zhang Weiping used the coin scattering to practice.
Nearly 1,000 Chinese and foreign journalists from 600 media outlets around the world gathered here.
The routine inspection of entering the Great Hall of the People, to the commissioner's security check of the producer, to see this premiere need to go through a thousand security checks, which is much more cumbersome than getting on a plane.
Go up to the third floor, you have to go to the bag storage hall first, no one can bring cameras, tape recorders, mobile phones, bags and other personal belongings.
Then enter the press conference held in the Golden Hall, where the 16 main creators are lined up on the stage.
100 Qin soldiers stood on each side to guard the rostrum, and these 200 Qin soldiers were specially selected by Zhang Yimou from the 5,000 students of BJ Sports Academy, and their heights were all the standards of the national honor guard.
"Wind, wind, wind, wind, wind, wind, wind!" And "King Qin swept Liuhe, looking at He Xiongzai!" The slogan began to resound throughout the venue as the audience entered.
The scene adheres to the tonal style of the movie "Hero", and it is also dominated by red, blue, white, green, and black
Colors also represent different moods.
Red represents passion, jealousy.
Black is mysterious.
White is the real world.
Green is memory.
And blue is romantic.
These five colors will be performed live as another stage for "Heroes".
Until the host of Phoenix Satellite TV, Hua Dan, Chen Perch, spoke: "Hello everyone, now start the press conference of "Hero", first of all, please invite the guests to enter. The slogans of the 200 Qin soldiers stopped.
There was applause at the scene, and Zhang Yimou, Li Lianjie, Zhang Manshen, Liang Manchu, Chen Daoming, Zeng Li, etc. had already taken their seats on the guest seats.
Zhang Yimou's hair is very short, and his clothes are particularly simple and fashionable.
Zhang Manshen has explosive hair, looks very energetic, wears a dazzling necklace and earrings, and wears a complete "flying snow" beauty image.
Liang Manzhou wore sunglasses deeply, probably because of his girlfriend's turmoil some time ago, his appearance looked very low-key.
Li Lianlian was wearing a high-necked black sweater, a yellow leather jacket, Zeng Li was wearing sunglasses and combing his long hair, looking particularly fashionable and beautiful, especially the dazzling big diamond ring on the middle finger of his right hand.
Director Liang Manchu and Director Zhang Yimou were exchanging heads on stage, Zhang Manshen interjected from time to time, and the three of them seemed very close.
Chen Daoming chatted with Zeng Li, and the topic was inseparable from mahjong.
At the end of the hour-long interview, the film was officially played.
The screening ends, with no butterfly effect, no quantum entanglement.
Starting from the 15th, "Hero" officially dominated the screen.
TV stations, the Internet, subways, buses, newspapers and other platforms have made full efforts.
It's just that you don't want to see it, and you can't see it.
At the same time, the secret plot is also unveiled little by little.
Trailers and tidbits are also slowly being released.
The most famous, of course, is the duel between Li Lian and Liang Manchu in Jiuzhaigou.
Zhang Yimou's picture is top-notch, and he specially used this paragraph to fool and deceive countless people.
Inevitably, public opinion on "Hero" has become seriously polarized, and critics have mixed reviews of the film's content.
For example, a movie with all the beautiful and dazzling colors makes us feel the pride and courage of the heart, and every fierce collision of body and mind can make us feel the generosity and benevolence of this nation that has been lost for a long time.
This is the evaluation of film critics, and there are this: scriptures, there are breathtaking legends; Weft, there is an extraordinary theme throughout the ancient and modern Balabala, and then beauty, love, righteousness, degree, soul Balabala.
It's confusing, and I don't know the calendar.
These are all good reviews.
"The picture is gorgeous, the music is touching, only the story is as empty as the mouth of a centenarian old lady, the characters are dry like African refugees, and the narrative imitation of "Rashomon" gives a living interpretation of the two idioms of HD toddler and Dong Shi Xiaofeng."
This is to say plagiarism.
"Zhang Yimou's artistic technique is the same as that of fine art.
The kind of storyline is not crowded, and the background of the picture is not continuously changed, which can be called a kind of "monotony".
Therefore, Zhang Yimou's martial arts movies are not praised or even approved by most people.
The popular martial arts film culture relies on Jin Yong's martial arts story as the script, and the plot is turbulent, and the characters cannot be allowed to walk in the bamboo forest, grassland, and desert for a short period of time to express their emotional spirit.
There is another reason why Zhang Yimou's martial arts can't satisfy the public, that is, martial arts movements can't be "beautiful".
It can be "martial arts", but not "literary beauty".
We can see that even a "martial arts movie" like King of Sunglasses' "East Evil and West Poison", which only pretends that the martial arts shell has almost nothing to do with martial arts, still inherits the methods of traditional martial arts and new martial arts movies in dealing with martial arts action.
Martial arts movies martial arts are secondary, but they must be handled meticulously and performed with beautiful movements and smooth rhythms.
Otherwise, only an empty shell of a martial arts movie will be left.
Expressing modern emotions in this way will only make people feel nondescript and disgusting.
Li Press's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a classic, the fights in him will move you, and the horseback chase in him will also move you.
Li Press's "horseback riding" relies on a deep storyline, while Zhang Yimou's "horseback riding" is just horseback riding, using "horseback riding" to express the beauty of the picture itself.
Maybe Zhang Yimou's artistic level is higher, but "Hero" seems to be a model of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
This seems to be a fatal weakness, and it is impossible to produce an "unprecedented" shock. ”
This is ironic.
The media is swiping headlines and fighting with words.
One will sing well, and the other will sing down, all for sales.
Since there is Caiye.com, the audience has a place to vent.
"Heroes? I think it's more appropriate to call it a bear! ”
"If a man has no name, he can concentrate on the practice of the sword. If you don't have a wife, you can concentrate on watching X-movies. ”
"This is a visual feast for foreigners, the same as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"."
"Where is the martial arts? I only saw the falsification of history, the accumulation of pornography, and the moaning without disease! ”
Among them, a talented netizen humorously commented on current affairs: "Remnant Sword: Please give up assassinating George W. Bush."
Nameless: Do you know that I'm from the Otsuki clan.
Remnant Sword: Me too.
Nameless: Whether the Ugly Kingdom wants to attack the Otsuki Clan.
Remnant Sword: Yes.
Nameless: Is George W. Bush an enemy of our Otsuki clan?
Remnant Sword: Yes.
Nameless: And who are you speaking for? How do you deserve to be a member of the Otsuki clan?
Remnant Sword: Feixue said the same thing, and she asked me why I didn't kill George W. Bush. I told her that George W. Bush couldn't be killed.
Remnant Sword: Please give up.
Nameless: No.
Remnant Sword: Your military is not only developed for hatred?
Nameless: That's good.
Remnant Sword: How can you listen?
Nameless: Unless you kill me.
Remnant Sword: You must go?
Nameless: Yes.
Remnant Sword: Alright, I'll give you a word.
So the remnant sword wrote "the world" in AK on the sand.
After a long time, he came to President George W. Bush without a name.
George W. Bush: What sentence did the remnant sword write to you?
Nameless: The World.
George W. Bush: The World!
Nameless: The remnant sword said that the Middle East has been in turmoil for many years, and the people have suffered, and only the president can stop the war and unify the Middle East. Remnant Sword wants me, for the sake of the Middle East, to give up assassinating the president.
George W. Bush: I didn't expect that the person who knew me best was actually my assassin, I was alone, I started the Otsutsuki War, how many reproaches I endured, how many plots, no one understood my heart, how many foreign remarks, and regarded me as a belligerent......
Bush Jr.: I can't think of the remnant sword, and I have never known it all my life, so I really understand myself, and I have the same heart, and I have no regrets about having a confidant like the remnant sword.
After that, George W. Bush threw the pistol he was carrying with him to Nameless... ”
Audience criticism was endless, word-of-mouth reviews were flooding, and the Caiye score of "Hero" plummeted from 8.0 at the beginning to 5.2.
Zhang Yimou didn't care about that, with this film, he finally killed the little poetry master, and rightfully reached the top of the domestic director No.1.
And under Zhang Weiping's planning, he is preparing to sweep Berlin, the Golden Ball, and march all the way to the Oscars.
But Zhang Weiping can't see that this is not good, what if word-of-mouth affects the box office?
He directly knocked on the door of Liyuan Shangcao Company with 500,000 yuan.
The cash smashed into Brother Danchao's head, so the water army began to wash the floor, especially Wang Xun's praise under the pseudonym of Night Rain was directly pushed to the top, and the Caiye score of "Hero" instantly rebounded to 7 points.
Caiye.com's heated discussion with "Hero" can be regarded as opening up the situation.
Of course, word-of-mouth affects the box office plummet, but after exceeding 10 million on the first day, it exceeded 130 million in ten days, breaking various records along the way.
The entire film market is crazy, and no one can see where the final box office of the movie will be.
200 million?
250 million?
Or even 300 million!
Even piracy can't stop the explosion of the box office, and it seems that the consciousness of going to the cinema to watch blockbusters is also rooted in the hearts of domestic audiences at this moment.
The disturbances outside are not the focus of Wang Xun's attention, and his headache now is the aunt in front of him - Fairy Mother Xiaoli.
