Chapter 381: The showdown of the great directors begins,
Li Qian is in full swing to shoot new films in Jiangning, and the mainland film market is also ushering in the May Day of the new year.
The summer and Chinese New Year files are competitive, and now the Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and May Day holidays have gradually become popular movie schedules.
Ning Hao's new film "The Great Gold Robbery" was the first to be released, and Xiaoma pointed to this movie to return to blood.
However, the box office was far from what people expected, with a total box office of only 63 million in the first seven days.
It's not just the ponies who are disappointed, but the entire industry and the audience are disappointed.
After "Crazy Stone" in 05, Ning Hao was pinned on by everyone and was known as the leader of the younger generation of directors.
"Crazy Racing" did not disappoint, and the box office of a single film exceeded 100 million.
"No Man's Land" was banned, and this return to comedy has great expectations in the industry.
However, with a box office of 63 million in seven days, the total box office is more than 100 million.
Although this box office is profitable enough, compared to "Crazy Racing" in 09, it broke 100 million, which is obviously a failure.
This time it's still black humor, but compared with the semi-suspense style of the multi-line narrative of the first two parts, it has become a single-line narrative, which is slightly monotonous, and the plot is a bit old-fashioned.
A thug stumbles into a robbery plan planned by revolutionaries to steal eight tons of gold that the Japanese army had prepared to buy weapons.
Although there is a single-line narrative in this film, there are many characters, but I don't know if Ning Hao was hit by the ban on "No Man's Land" or why, there are a lot of bloody plots.
A large number of Japanese soldiers who lie down as soon as they shoot, heroes who always can't be killed, villains who come back to life after being shot, and lovers who are suddenly killed after complaining to each other, the key is still to transform the system.
It's just that Ning Hao's level is still there, and the movie is okay overall, but it's much worse than the crazy series, and the contrast is a bit big, so the reputation is not good.
However, relying on the backdrop of peers, the word-of-mouth of "Piff", which was released on the same day, was even more insufficient, and the seven-day box office was only 14 million.
The only advantage is probably that he contributed a scene to the audience that made people laugh and lie down, and Zhang Yi exchanged the wife of the reconnaissance captain for a group of hostages.
The best word-of-mouth is "Killing" starring Huang Bo, and the interpretation of a bit of connotation is that those who challenge the tradition and challenge the centralization will eventually compromise because of their families, and the centralization will only be revenge because of selfish desires, and never because of right and wrong.
Of course, these glorifying protagonists, insinuating the government, the theory of freedom, and treating freedom as a chicken feather at every turn, don't know what is in mind all day.
In fact, this movie is about the title.
The people of the village hate the cow to the bone. He destroyed holy water, peeped into the house, broke the sacrifices, dug up ancestral graves, smashed tablets, smashed rules, from the old man to the child, from man to woman, all morals, traditions, beliefs, privacy and rules of life were all collided by him.
The villagers hated him and deserved it, but such an isolated village did not rudely and directly sink such a big sinner into the pond or show it to the public, but used all kinds of means and methods to tremble and want to drive him out, want him to leave by himself, give in by himself, and die by himself.
They didn't dare to kill, so they chose to kill.
Kill people for life, kill lives and punish hearts!
has a good reputation, this kind of film is what Guan Hu is good at, but don't think about it.
And by May 5th, the three domestic movies were completely swept into the corner by the newly released Hollywood blockbuster "The Avengers".
Just after the long holiday, the box office hit 120 million in two days, and Hollywood blockbusters once again dominated the domestic film market.
However, in this blockbuster film that gathers many superheroes, Su Yiran has a good reputation, but the box office trend is very average.
60 million a day in the first two days, but it turned out that it was only 200 million in seven days in the next week and 330 million in nine days, which is still a certain distance from the explosion.
......
In mid-May, "Truman's World" has been filming in Jiangning for a month, and in a month, the planned scenes have been completed one after another, and more than one-third of the filming process has passed.
And Zhou Xingchi also joined the group as promised, and when he saw him again, he was not as silent as a month ago.
The last time we met, even when we were discussing movies, he had that silent expression and seemed to be preoccupied.
And when he said goodbye this time, Zhou Xingchi's face was full of smiles.
"Director Zhou. ”
"Hello Director Li. ”
After saying hello when they met, Li Qian could see that he was smiling from the bottom of his heart.
"It seems that Director Zhou is in a good mood, is there anything happy about?" asked Li Qian.
Zhou Xingchi said with a smile, "Isn't it a joy to build a studio as big as a city and dominate the fate of everyone in the city?"
Li Qian was slightly stunned, and also smiled, "That is indeed something to be happy about." ”
Zhou Xingchi's state is what Li Qian wants, and the producer in the movie can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the world.
The annual income of a show is more than the annual income of many small countries.
Countless media giants want to get the right to broadcast live programs, and countless companies want to advertise in programs, with more than two billion viewers watching programs.
Moreover, compared to the fact that the leaders of various countries change every few years, the peak of power is only a few years, but he has lasted for 30 years.
Such a person should be high-spirited, even if he is old, he should not be a taciturn old man.
Zhou Xingchi is officially in the group, but his play is still behind, it will take half a month, and now the crew is staying and getting used to it.
Li Qian was still filming at the normal pace, and at this time he was filming the rivalry between Teacher Pan Hong and Deng Chao.
This is a scene where Truman meets his deceased father by chance and comes back to talk to his mother.
It's been a month since filming started, and Deng Chao has also entered the state, not to mention Teacher Pan Hong, this kind of role is simply at your fingertips.
"Wang Ou, come and take a look. ”
Li Qian beckoned, pointed to the monitor and said, "Take a good look at Teacher Pan Hong, this scene is him comforting his son, it's similar to the scene you filmed before comforting your husband, you see how Teacher Pan Hong acted." ”
Wang Ou stared at the monitor seriously, and found that Teacher Pan Hong's expression and tone had not changed much from beginning to end, even if he heard Deng Chao say that his father was still alive, he was not afraid of goofs at all.
There was only a moment of glancing at the ceiling to hide his weakness, and then through some subtle intonation changes and gestures, he turned offense into defense and resolved Deng Chao's doubts.
When Deng Chao insisted that he didn't recognize the wrong person, Teacher Pan Hong's tone did not rise, but lowered a little, and his right hand was slightly raised from the armrest of the sofa, wanting to say something, and put it down again.
Compared with Deng Chao's excitement, Teacher Pan Hong tried his best to calm him down, and then told the story of his father's death in a relatively low tone.
"Truman, did you forget, because you insisted on opening the ship in the storm..."
As soon as these words came out, Deng Chao, who was originally in an excited mood, his chest was rising and falling rapidly, suddenly slowed down.
"But we never blamed you, Truman. Glancing at Deng Chao, Pan Hong looked at him softly, "I won't blame you now." ”
The emotional Deng Chao calmed down instantly, and no longer clamored that he saw his father.
"Okay, pass!"
Li Qian waved his hand, and this opponent played in one go, which was perfect.
While the crew was preparing for the next show, Li Qian turned his head and asked Wang Ou, "How is it, do you see anything?"
"I... Teacher Pan Hong's aura is very strong. Wang Ou thought for a while.
Li Qian shook his head, "It's not just this, looking at the timing of the change in her tone, the reality is that when Deng Chao was arguing, he didn't fight with him, and spoke softly and waited for him to slowly calm down."
Seizing this slightly less excited moment, he said in a low tone that the cause of his father's death was that he was going to sail the boat into the storm, at this time Deng Chao's mood dropped again, and then Mr. Pan Hong said two sentences in a row We have never blamed you, which directly made him embarrassed.
This is called turning passive into active, you go to comfort a person, don't be reasonable, don't argue, but find the key point that can calm him down, you think about how your previous boyfriend comforted you. ”
"I don't have a boyfriend. Wang Ou said instinctively, and after speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face suddenly turned red.
Of course, this is not shy, they are all thirty, and they are shy of a hammer.
"Ahem!"
Li Qian coughed lightly, what is this, as if he was going to do something.
Continuing the topic just now, "Usually when a boy comforts his girlfriend, he will find that no matter what he says, it has no effect at all, it is better to change the topic and grasp the weak place in the other party's heart, and the weak place in Truman's heart is the death of his father."
However, the main thing is the skill of speaking, Mr. Pan Hong's words can make the other party feel ashamed, but if you change your words, it may make the other party even more angry, thinking that you are using words to pressure him.
Of course, you don't have to act like this later, the roles of the two of you are different, but the skills are the same, you can use it to shoot other scenes in the future, or quarrel with your boyfriend, sometimes he is angry, you can tell him as if he was wrong. ”
"Thank you, Director Li. Wang Ou hurriedly said, the big director specially mentioned it when filming, it was not a rare opportunity.
Then he still filmed in the living room, until the next morning, when he came to the door of the villa and filmed the opening scene of Truman going out.
This scene is very simple, it is Truman greeting the next-door neighbor who happened to pass by his door, and that line runs through the whole film.
"Early. ”
"Good morning. "Greeted warmly by the neighbors.
"By the way, if I never see you again, I wish you a good morning, afternoon, and evening!"
After speaking, Deng Chao grinned.
"Click!"
The first shot of this line was very problematic, and Li Qian immediately shouted to stop.
Deng Chao himself also felt very awkward, and trotted over, "I always feel a little uncomfortable here, not so comfortable." ”
At this time, Zhou Xingchi, who had been in the crew for more than a day, spoke, and he smiled, "I have an idea here." ”
Li Qian's eyes lit up, Zhou Xingchi finally couldn't help but speak, has the PK between the big directors begun?
