It is often said that dark horses are difficult to prevent, which is probably what it means - because you have not prepared enough in advance, and you don't know how it works.

"Those Years" is like this, the starring role is a little appealing Liu Yifei, and the production cost is 28 million...

Yes, Shen Mengxi is very awesome, and his two "Moving Mazes" have a global box office of more than 800 million US dollars...

So what?

In China, he counts as an egg?

A best-seller only!

To make a movie, you have to pile up stars!

Didn't you see how high the box office of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" was?

Reluctant to spend money, do you still want to play movies?

Then, slap in the face...

......

Ah Mou is really standing in the center of the target, and he has not wavered for more than ten years!

At that time, film critics criticized Ah Mou, and there was a very classic sentence 'The story is too strong!'

Why do you say classics, because later many netizens said that he 'can't tell stories...'

Later, he simply said that he was 'studio level'...

Here's a breakdown:

"Hang the Red Lantern High" won the Silver Lion Award at the 48th Venice Film Festival and was again nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. On the one hand, there is praise and praise from abroad, and on the other hand, there is criticism at home.

A bunch of scholars and film critics wrote a book: "Hang the Red Lantern High" has a clearer intention of 'writing for foreigners'. Zhang Yimou is increasingly making it clear that his movie audience is no longer a Chinese citizen, but a judge who adheres to Western-centrism, betraying the nation and the Chinese to please foreign judges and audiences!

The most famous of them is called Zhu Dake, and later he also scolded "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" for 'cyan patriotism'...

A Mou publicly refuted in "Guangming Daily": The judges of the international film festival come from more than six to eight countries, and it is impossible for them to unanimously aim to lose China's ugliness!

But it is conceivable that the print media at that time was basically mastered by a bunch of scholars...

Then, the following year, "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival that year, and Gong Li also won the Venice Best Actress Award.

The Film Bureau personally held a celebration party for Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, and Li XX, a member of the Politburo, fully affirmed the film at a press conference held in the Great Hall of the People.

The Film Bureau and the Political Bureau of the Central Committee personally came forward to give A certain statement!

"Alive" shouldn't be scolded, right?

Thinking about it a lot, when "Alive" was screened in Beijing, Ah Mou himself said: When it was first filmed, I had a hunch that it might not pass, so I hope everyone has a sneak peek, and I made a mistake——— movies that were not submitted for review are not allowed to be screened publicly, I showed one in Beijing, as an internal observation, in fact, many people in the literary and artistic circles came, and there were more than 1,000 people. A bunch of people say that "Alive" has regressed artistically, returning to the era of director Xie Jin, politically reactionary and artistically mediocre!

"Ambush on All Sides" was scolded to a new height, and for this reason, the Film Bureau held a media conference, calling on everyone to "look at domestic films with a tolerant and peaceful attitude, and provide a good public opinion environment for domestic films".

At the end of 04, Beijing's "Art Review" magazine held a seminar, the meeting aimed at Zhang Yimou's "collective fire", and listed Zhang Yimou's "six deadly crimes", including chasing fame and fortune, losing his soul, worshipping foreigners, currying favor with Western audiences, cultural necrophilia, and raising the threshold for film distribution is not conducive to the development of domestic films.

Even in the Olympics, Ah Mou was scolded: Lin Miaoke's lip-to-singing and computer-made flame footprints...

Wow...

I don't know if I don't take inventory, this inventory is simply amazing!

Ah Mou's heart is really big!

But if you can't think about it at all, you will just look for a short-term view...

A Mou himself responded: You are big, who will you hit if you don't hit you. Even if it's not me, but Li Yimou and Wang Yimou, they will fight you with new strength and new concepts, just like we beat Xie Jin in history.

Believe it or not, I am filming "Alive" today, and I will be scolded!

Actually, most of them like him, but this part of the people is too lazy to speak!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a sensation every time a film comes out.

Of course, none of the above can play a role in the word-of-mouth of "Three Guns" - "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" is terrible!

The rot of "Three Guns" has been rotten out of a realm, and scolding a movie has become a trend...

It's really not like scolding every time...

If you think about it, the front foot dedicated the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the back foot took out "Three Shots"...

The expectations are high, and the publicity of "Three Guns" is also very good, and it is promoted on CCTV's "Avenue of Stars"...

The public's expectations for this movie are particularly high!

It is said that "Three Guns" is a bad movie, even if it is not a bad movie, a film that plays normally will be besieged by film critics and the media!

Now it's everyone's scolding!

......

In the blink of an eye, the 14th fell, and a week passed.

The weekly box office was released, and "Those Years" was released for six days, with a cumulative box office of 109 million, occupying the first place;

"Three Guns" was released for three days, with a box office of 86 million, ranking second;

"Thorn Tomb" and "Fengyun 2" Feng Bei handed over 24 million and 21 million results...

Judging from the film schedule alone, "Those Years" is almost the same as "Three Guns", one is 38%, and the other is 42%...

On this day, Shen Meng was in the auditorium of Chongqing University, sharing and communicating with teachers and students on films.

Specifically, it should be the Meishi Film School of Chongqing University.

It belongs to the secondary college of Chongqing University, just like my brother's alma mater, Jianghuai College, and its full name is Jianghuai College of Anhui University...

"Actually, our post-80s generation likes nostalgia, so what youth films should do is to let the audience find resonance in these films, especially the mainstream audience!"

"Starting next year, there will definitely be a lot of youth film projects, I think it's good, the big waves are sweeping the sand, the market will screen out the sand and gold!"

"Why is it on sale? Because we love youth, we are reluctant to let go of the simplicity and enthusiasm of youth. ”

"That's about it!"

After the gossip, when it came to the students' question session, a man stood up: "May I ask what you think of "Three Guns Shooting Surprise"?"

It's a bit of an egg ache...

The students are stunned and sloppy, and they are probably not satisfied...

In fact, yesterday, a reporter asked him how he watched the bad reviews of "Three Guns", and Shen Mengxi replied at the time, 'I don't have time to watch movies'...

After all, they are all in a circle, and Shen Mengxi is going to cooperate with A Mou in the future!

After thinking about it, he replied: "I went to see "Three Guns" yesterday, and there is indeed a shadow of the Coen Brothers' "Blood Labyrinth", and it just so happens that I have seen most of the Coen Brothers' movies. ”

"I'll start with a few quick remarks about the Coen brothers, who are one of the leading figures of American independent cinema, outside of the Hollywood studio system, which means that the creators can't rely on formulaic stories and face-painted characters to sell the film, but have to include something that is not in TV or other films. ”

"If such a movie is placed in China, it is actually not a mainstream movie!"

"In order to sell tickets, the "Three Guns" adapted from "Blood Labyrinth" found Xiao Shen Yang's gang, and then added a lot of deliberately funny elements... All of a sudden, the suspense and thriller of the story were reduced, resulting in the current situation of nondescript, not embarrassing or embarrassing, it is not an exaggeration to call it a bad movie!"

"A director, especially a director of A's status, really shouldn't make this kind of compromise for the sake of commerciality... He's Zhang Yi, what if the movie doesn't sell well?"

"I think he should feel that he owes Zhang Weiping his mentality, after all, for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, he hasn't made a film for three years, and he hasn't scored a new picture for three years... Therefore, during the filming, he agreed to some of Zhang Weiping's requests..."

"This is really unnecessary, Zhang Weiping is a businessman, it is his business that his new pictures do not make money, and it has nothing to do with director Zhang Yimou, "No Man's Land" was blocked, and I didn't let Ning Hao hurry up to make a new film!"

The boy took over: "What is Ning Hao doing?"

"Oh, we received a few good scripts, and there are also a few good new directors, Ning Hao went to be a producer..."

"So, do you think the failure of "Three Guns" is because of Zhang Weiping?"

"No, the main thing is that Director A is not ruthless enough to himself, so let's wait for the movie to be released, I will suggest that Director A cut the funny content, re-release it or sell it to a video website, and then you will find that this story is exciting, the plot is compact, and it makes people want to stop, and it does have a surprising effect!"

Youku has a deleted version of "Three Guns", which is really not bad...

After he finished speaking, it immediately circulated on the Internet that 'Shen Mengxi criticized Zhang Yimou for compromising for money'...

As for those minus the funny content, Three Shots is still a good movie Balabala, as if he didn't say it...
