The splendid Hanfu Qixi event that Lu Bu and Gao Yuanyuan participated in became the hottest entertainment news of the day.

[Promote traditional culture, show the beauty of Hanfu, Lu Bu, Gao Yuanyuan to create a new fashion trend! ] 】

[Lu Bu brought his rumored girlfriend Gao Yuanyuan to the event in a high-profile manner! ] 】

[Lu Bu and Gao Yuanyuan's new drama "The Legend of Chu and Han" was exposed, and they will play Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Yu Ji, the poppy beauty! ] 】

There are all kinds of reports, how to attract attention, how to come.

But gossip is gossip, and the theme does not deviate from the "Hanfu", "Gossip Girlfriend", and "The Legend of Chu and Han".

And the most discussed on the Internet is the new drama.

"I really want to play Xiang Yu."

"It's finally here!"

"The two characters of Luo Cheng and Meng Yi are not domineering enough, and their reputations are not loud enough, they have to be [Xiang Yu], [Lu Bu], and [Li Xiaocun]."

"Yu Ji in Gao Yuan Park is also worth looking forward to."

"She's a good fit for this kind of classical and gentle role."

"I'm very struck by this on-screen couple."

"It is rumored that this drama is jointly created by the famous director Gao Xixi and gold medal screenwriter Wang Hailin, bringing together Chen Daomin, Qin Lan, Duan Yihong, Yu Hewei, Xu Jinqi and other powerful actors, it can be said that three generations of middle-aged and young actors compete on the same stage, and the high investment of 240 million yuan is also unique in the TV drama industry in recent years."

"When it comes to big investments, I'm a little scared."

"Yes, in the past two years, whether it is a movie or a TV series, as long as it is known as a big investment, 90% of it has hit the street in terms of word-of-mouth, ratings/box office."

"Don't worry, this drama doesn't have Zhang Jizhong."

……

Lu Bu starred as Xiang Yu, which has always been expected by the audience.

However, big-budget TV series make people happy and worried.

I don't know what's wrong, in most of today's dramas, the poorer the crew, the easier it is to produce good dramas, and the richer the crew, eh, filming is not pleasing to the audience.

It can only be said that "success is capital, failure is capital", the monetary interests involved in this circle are too big, and a lot of money leads to many rules in this circle are self-contained "unspoken rules", and you have no way to control it on the bright side.

And under the unspoken rules of this undercurrent, human favor and capital are much more direct than ability.

Capital takes money to invest, stuff a new person in, do you agree? If you don't agree, I'll withdraw my investment, can you still shoot this drama?

Moreover, in order to ensure their appearance rate and popularity, those old faces changed their roles, lines, and characters, and their status in the circle is there, can you change it?

No crew can withstand such a toss, so it doesn't have to be the director's fault, it's not necessarily the screenwriter's pot, and it's not just the actor's fault.

The good thing is that the capital behind "The Legend of Chu and Han" did not interfere too much, and only one coal boss, who accounted for 30% of the investment, put forward a request, that is, there must be Lu Bu.

The actors are very dedicated, how the script is written, they act how they act, there are not so many things.

Director Gao Xixi and screenwriter Wang Hailin are also receptive to opinions and are willing to revise the script.

At this time, Lu Bu's small courtyard.

There's an internal party going on here, and all the artists are there.

It is worth mentioning that Yu Feihong signed Wang Guxian, Liu Shishi, Tang Tang, Yuan Hong, Huang Bo and Brother Dao.

There were more and more people, so much so that the small courtyard seemed crowded.

I have to change the base camp, and it just so happens that Lu Bu has a lot of money to spare, so I also ask an intermediary to find the kind of large courtyard house of thousands of square meters, but I don't know if there is anything to sell.

"'Crazy Stone' is coming out." Yu Feihong chatted with Lu Bu while rummaging through the ingredients on the grill.

"I've been piling up everything these days, and I've forgotten about it." Lu Bu went to shoot the MV again and participated in the event again.

"Guess how much box office it won." Yu Feihong said with a smile.

"30 million?" Lu Bu calculated based on the first-day box office and first-day word-of-mouth.

"Almost, a total of 32.77 million in Inner Hong Kong and Taiwan." Yu Feihong is very satisfied with the final box office.

"This Ning Hao has something, with a budget of 5 million, and he has taken more than six times the box office." Lu Bu praised.

"You mentioned Ning Hao, I just remembered that I have something to ask you, do you want to sign him? We have fewer directors in our studio. Yu Feihong asked.

It's less, just one ginger pattern.

Lu Bu asked rhetorically: "Doesn't he have a company?" ”

Yu Feihong replied: "There shouldn't be, directors rarely choose to join the company." ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "If you can sign it, then sign it." ”

Yu Feihong had a flash of inspiration and said: "Or, let's also take 20 million to come out and make a 'new director and new screenwriter plan'?" ”

Lu Bu knew that Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" participated in the "Asian Rising Star Director Program" initiated by Andy Lau, which is to select six young directors from all over Asia and fund them to shoot movies, which is a very innovative idea, but he has to take all the risks, and he was also thinking about it, and said: "You say, if you make a talent show like Supergirl, will you have a head?" ”

Yu Feihong thought for a while and said: "I feel that there are not as many highlights as singing, so I will call and talk to Mr. He tomorrow, he has experience in this area, if it is feasible, I will go to the TV station to talk." ”

As he spoke, Lu Bu caught a glimpse of Jiang Wen, remembered one more thing, and immediately said, "How did the results of the first weekend of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" be? ”

Yu Feihong replied: "It was released simultaneously in the three places of Inner Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and the box office of the first weekend was red across the board, including 15.6 million in the mainland, 5 million in Xiangjiang, 11 million in Baodao Province and Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and the total box office in the first weekend exceeded 30 million." ”

This year's summer film market is dominated by Hollywood movies, "Superman Returns" and "Mission Impossible 3" occupy most of the sky, and it was not until the release of "Dragon Tiger Gate" that domestic films were struggling.

In recent years, due to the lack of action stars and the excessive pursuit of stunts, Chinese kung fu films have been declining, and the market has gradually been seized by Hollywood action blockbusters and emerging Thai action movies, and "Dragon Tiger Gate" claims to be 99% real hits, trying to reshape the impression of kung fu movies in people's minds.

However, the word-of-mouth is not very good, Douban scored 6.5, and it fell to 6.2 after only a few days of release, which is still an old problem of action movies, heavy drama, light plot.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Then isn't our "The Sun Also Rising" stable." ”

The decline in word-of-mouth will inevitably affect the attendance rate, and the film schedule will also be cut.

Yu Feihong smiled and said: "But it's right to choose to avoid, the momentum in the first few days is still very strong, and literary films are inherently disadvantaged, so it is difficult to compete head-on with action movies." ”

Lu Bu sighed lightly: "Brother Jiang has sharpened a sword for five years, hoping to break through the cocoon and become a butterfly." ”

Yu Feihong also hoped so, and then said: "The promotion of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is about to start, I discussed it with Brother Luo, and I want you to participate in the event. ”

Lu Bu has a cameo in Fairy Sword 3, because there is a role in Fairy Sword 1 Li Xiaoyao, and it is reasonable to participate in the event, even if he does not star, as one of the investors, producers, and producers, he is reasonable, and he should come forward to help publicize, and immediately said: "No problem." ”

Yu Feihong said again: "Didn't "Happy Camp" plan an issue of the confrontation between our "Mythology" crew and Chen Kaige's "Wuji" crew last time, and it got high ratings, and they wanted to come again. ”

At that time, not only the ratings were high, but the topic was also high.

Lu Bu asked, "Which drama is Sword and Fairy 3 with?" ”

Yu Feihong replied: "Director Zhang's "The Story of Deer and Ding". ”

Lu Bu didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Yes." ”

Yu Feihong said again: "They are led by Director Zhang on their side, and we are here, why don't you come?" ”

Lu Bu let out an "ah" and said, "It's not you and Brother Luo?" ”

Yu Feihong explained: "I'm following up the post-production of Sword and Fairy 3, and Brother Luo is following up the post-production of "The Star of the Sheep", and I can't pull away. ”

Excuse!

Record a show, just half a day.

And post-production doesn't have to stare at it every day, how can you not pull away.

However, since they didn't want to go, Lu Bu was idle, so he could only say, "Okay, I'll go." ”

On August 5th, Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" held its premiere in Yanjing.

The film was announced to be at the Venice Film Festival in a high-profile manner, and after its global premiere, domestic and foreign media also gave it high praise.

However, in the end, there was no harvest, and in an interview with media reporters, Jiang Wen said: "It's not surprising that I didn't win the award, and I was ready for this before I went." ”

Before going to Venice, his sentence "planning is in me, success is in planning", was the headline quotation of major media, and he said very bluntly about whether the failure to win the award was related to Zhang Yimou: "This question is more useful for you to ask Zhang Yimou than to ask me, besides, my sentence is right, Zhang Yimou does not need to help me, this is a film festival, each judge has their own different opinions, and I, as a person participating in the film festival, let more people see this movie and like this movie, it is enough." ”

And all the artists of Mengjiang Studio were also present to support.

As the boss, Lu Bu naturally became the main target of media reporters.

"Jiang Wen's movie didn't win the award, are you disappointed?"

"It is said that the investment in this film has reached 50 million, do you think the box office can exceed 150 million?"

"As Jiang Wen's first work to return to the director's first work, why didn't you participate?"

Rao is an old fritter, and it is difficult to deal with it, Lu Bu answered a few questions selectively, and then slipped away and entered the theater.

"Boss, you sit in the middle." In the theater, there are employees of Mengjiang Studio who are responsible for the seating of guests.

"Won't I sit there and dominate? You will let Director Jiang sit down later. Lu Bu glanced at it, saw that the seats next to Hu Jing and Zeng Wei were empty, and said, "I'll find a seat by myself, and you go to receive others." ”

"Okay." This employee did not dare to have an opinion.

"Why did you get here?" Hu Jing asked in a low voice.

"I'd love to!" Lu Bu said with a smile.

"There will be media reporters for a while, aren't you afraid of being scribbled again?" Zeng asked in a low voice.

"This is a public place, I see who dares to scribble!" Lu Bu said jokingly.

He didn't care.

If you don't sit, you won't scribble?

Apparently not.

Hu Jing and Zeng Wei didn't say anything more, and chatted quietly with Lu Bu.

Half an hour later, all the guests were finished, followed by the audience and media reporters.

Then Jiang Wen made a speech in front of the screen of the theater, and the viewing session of the premiere officially began.

[In 1976, in a remote mountain village in the south, Li Dongfang's mother went crazy because of a pair of shoes and became a crazy mother, crazy all day long, one day, Li Dongfang unintentionally discovered the truth that the crazy mother was crazy......

In 1976, in a university, five women claimed to have been "touched on their buttocks" when a movie was shown in the playground at night......

In 1976, Lao Tang and Tang's wife were sent to the small mountain village where Li Dongfang was located, and Lao Tang went up to the mountains to hunt with the children in the village every day, and was at ease......

In 1958, in Xinjia, two camel riding women, Tang's wife and the crazy mother who was pregnant with Liujia, walked side by side, and they were greeted by two completely different destinies......]

When the theater was illuminated by lights, the audience burst into applause.

However, Lu Bu glanced around cursoryly, and many people had a big word "stunned" written on their faces.

Obviously, they didn't understand, and the clapping was just out of support for Jiang Wen, because they were all fans.

But to be honest, Jiang Wen is indeed a bit ruthless this time.

A movie actually contains 20 years of information to let the audience reminisce, and what is even worse is that every detail in front of it may form an important clue in the back, and the average audience cannot be tense with that search nerve for as long as two hours.

So, just by watching it once, you can't connect the four parts into a complete story.

Regarding this film, there are now only 3 options:

First, don't go to the cinema to watch it, don't even think about it;

the second is to go to the cinema to watch it, but also don't think about it, just treat it as an entertainment film;

The third is from the perspective of the wallet, this choice is the worst, you read it, and then think about it, and find that you don't understand, you can only read it again, and then think about it, and if you can't figure it out, you can read it again.

In the final analysis, this time it really fulfilled the old saying about Jiang Wen and Jiang Wen's movies: as soon as the audience thought about it, Jiang Wen laughed, and smiled as bright as the sun at the silver of the white flowers.

"Xiaohao, do you understand?"

"Understand, what about you?"

"Same."

Hu Jing and Zeng Wei looked at Lu Bu again.

Lu Bu opened his mouth, stopped talking, thought about it and thought about it, and finally gave an evaluation: "Hanging." ”

This is indeed the case.

The box office of "The Sun Also Rises" was only 6.8 million in the first weekend, and the total box office may not exceed 20 million, let alone any return to the cost, this is already a loss and even pants.

Although the Douban score is 8.3, the critics are not optimistic, and some critics shout "Jiang Lang is exhausted" because of this movie.

It seems that this sword, which has been sharpened for five years, has been broken.

Coupled with "The Devil is Coming", Jiang Wen has made huge losses to investors in two consecutive movies.

And in this, there is Lu Bu's 10 million.

On this day, Jiang Wen carried a box of Moutai to Lu Bu's small courtyard, and he didn't see him for a few days, and he was much haggard. (End of chapter)
