The original version of PUBG is "Death Row Battle Royale", a film that bears some resemblance to the neon classic movie "Battle Royale".

For those who have read a lot of films, they can probably guess the main plot from the title.

A very powerful organization brought ten death row prisoners from prison, threw them on a desert island, and let them fight each other, and then decide the winner.

Li Qian's idea changed the identities of the ten participants, and a large reason was the identity of death row inmates.

Those sentenced to death are basically criminals who have committed heinous crimes, even as the hero, they should not be alive in the end.

In the movie, the good guys can not live, but the bad guys must die, especially those who commit capital crimes.

It has nothing to do with the regulation of optoelectronics, which is one of the most basic universal values of modern society.

Of course, if the context is different, in ancient times, somewhere in Africa where there is no order, it doesn't matter.

The plot of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is basically the same as the original storyboard, and after filming a "Wolf Teeth", Wu Jing's directing level has improved significantly, and there are basically no major problems.

However, Li Qian is not concerned about how the movie is made, but wants to find something out of it.

"Wolf Warrior" and "Wolf Warrior 2" are both starring Wu Jing, and after the release of "Wolf Teeth", which he directed and acted in, Li Qian suspected that these two movies were also directed and acted by him.

The investment in "Wolf Teeth" plus that pitiful publicity and distribution is only 3 million, the mainland box office is more than 4 million, and Xiangjiang is more than 2 million, adding up to 6 million yuan.

This kind of small-budget movie without big-name stars will definitely not be sold in Southeast Asia, and the TV copyright in the mainland is not worth a few dollars, so it is certain that it will lose money.

However, the cost of 3 million in exchange for a box office of 6 million, purely in terms of the ratio of box office and cost, is already very good, better than most directors, not to mention that this is Wu Jing's first movie.

If he really transforms into a director, he will generally not make other people's films, let alone the same genre, and the probability that the "Wolf Warrior" series is directed and acted by him is very high.

However, the style of "Wolf Fang" is very different from the "Wolf Warrior" series.

"Wolf's Teeth" is completely a Hong Kong film, and as an action movie, many actions are direct and deadly, but the overall style is indeed very calm.

The fight scenes are very pleasant, but they give the whole film a very calm tone and beauty.

The "Wolf Warrior" series is different, it is a very bloody war movie, especially the second one.

In addition, the narrative style and lens language are very different, and the "Wolf Warrior" series basically learned Hollywood, the standard three-shot method, objective shot-subjective shot-semi-subjective shot, which is also a universal magic weapon used by Hollywood movies from the forties to the present.

The style is a bit bad, which makes Li Qian a little uncertain.

However, this "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" made Li Qian truly sure that the "Wolf Warrior" series was directed and acted by Wu Jing.

Most of the rivalry scenes between two people in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" are given an intermediate shot first, then one of the characters is playing a shot, and then another character is given a reverse shot.

is exactly the same as "Wolf Warrior", especially the confrontation between Leng Feng and Lao Mao, which lasted for 5 minutes from gunfight to hand-to-hand combat, and a former tactical squad leader of the Mi Lijian Marine Corps Special Assault Regiment played by Wu Jing and a strong white actor in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the final duel between the two of them has the flavor of "Wolf Warrior".

"Brother Jing, your movie has a bit of a Hollywood movie flavor. ”

The style became a little big, and Li Qian asked casually.

Wu Jing didn't expect Li Qian not to talk about the movie itself, but asked about something else, but still said, "Didn't I run a trick in "The Mummy 3" before, playing a thug, and was beaten to death by Brother Jie as soon as I appeared, and I stayed in that crew for a few days, and I felt that people were different from those action movies in Xiangjiang."

This time, in addition to my own, the other eight characters in "PUBG" are all foreigners, and I have also talked to them about them, the characteristics of each country are really different, that Tony Jia of the Shu Kingdom, his Muay Thai is very fierce, even more ruthless than my performance in "Slaying the Wolf".

But it's mainly a few white actors, who used to specialize in Hollywood action movies, so I borrowed a little from their shooting methods. ”

I see, I learned it from the foreign actors in the crew.

The doubts were cleared, and Li Qian chatted with him about the movie itself.

"There are no big problems with this clip in general, but there are too many close-ups and slow motions of the supporting characters before they die, except for the one who was killed at the end, and the one who drowned in the sea with the airdrop at the beginning, and there are seven people left, at most three people are given close-ups before they die, to avoid excessive sensationalism. ”

The common problem of many immature directors is that they can't get the key points clearly, and they draw a scoop according to the gourd.

Wu Jing also felt a little uncomfortable with this question, he asked, "I found out when arranging everyone's identity, it's too easy to be similar, that African battlefield mercenary misses his wife, and the international killer couple is also a relationship between husband and wife, and there is nothing to sensationalize except for family affection and love." ”

Li Qian thought for a while, "Just keep that Muay Thai master, the international killer couple, and the number one thug of the neon biggest gang, and the others will have a good time and die neatly." ”

Muay Thai master, played by Tony Jia, is famous for the "Boxer" series and "Dong Menggong", and also starred in "Kill the Wolf 2".

Tony Jia plays a big boy who offends the local gangsters, has to run away, and smuggles to Xiangjiang to work for the livelihood of his family, which is very suitable.

International killer couple, there are also a lot of scenes, and soon after the beginning, there was a person who saw a woman's good bully and wanted to kill her, but he didn't expect to be killed by the woman.

However, the two of them were also killed by the Mi people one after another, the wife was killed first, and the husband went to take revenge and hung up.

The number one thug of the neon No. 1 gang, he has a very bloody identity, he has a girl he likes, and the girl has a small shop at home...

Needless to say, you can guess later, it is nothing more than helping their family get rid of the little gangsters, and using his position in the organization to protect their family.

The girl also likes him, but he is worried that his identity will implicate her, and he has been secretly protecting him.

In the movie, as an orphaned gangster, only the girl is concerned, and from time to time he looks at the peace charm that the girl begged for in the temple, and he strings it with a rope and ties it around his neck.

In the end, he was also strangled to death by a rope around his neck with a peace charm.

"Give the neon people more scenes, don't cut them all, and the audience will say that we are discriminating when the time comes. Li Qian said with a smile.

Wu Jing was also amused by Li Qian's words, when he first talked to him, the first thing Li Qian said about the setting of these characters was the Nanbang taekwondo master, and arranged for him to mock the protagonist on the plane, and then the airdrop malfunctioned, and he was directly thrown into the sea and drowned.

His hands and feet were chained, and no matter how high he worked in the water, it was useless.

This is so aggrieved, it's not discrimination against what the South Stick is.

But it doesn't matter, and with such a tense and exciting movie, the opening paragraph is probably quite funny.

"Then the close-ups and memories of the other people before they died were deleted, and there were just three people, one black, one white, and one yellow. Wu Jing also accepted Li Qian's proposal.

The two chatted for more than three hours in the computer room about the scenes of the movie, made some deletions and changes in details, and finally cut the 110-minute film to 103 minutes, and deleted seven minutes of irrelevant and somewhat verbose shots.

100 minutes, it's normal.

"Then Director Li, when is the right time for our film to be released?" Wu Jing asked about the release date again.

"It's July soon, it's too much at the beginning of August, you haven't finished it yet, and the summer file is over half a month later, just the National Day file at the end of September, and now the National Day seven-day holiday market is not small. ”

Li Qian thought for a while, and then asked, "By the way, it seems that the "West Wind Spirit" you played before was also on the National Day file, right?"

"'West Wind Spirit' informed me that I was on the end of October. ”

"West Wind Spirit" is invested and distributed by Huayang, directed by Gao Yushu, one of the directors of "The Wind", and another blockbuster film on the National Day, "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", is also from Huayang, and it is impossible to release it together.

"Then it's no problem, don't go through the two movies you acted in yourself, the National Day file is an opponent of "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", with the current market, there is no problem to accommodate two blockbusters at the same time. ”

"It seems that "Jingwu Fengyun: Chen Zhen" and "Sword Rain" are also released on National Day, right?"

"These two films don't matter, don't worry about it, it's just "Di Renjie", but Xu Laowei is back in martial arts films, and we are still under a lot of pressure. ”

Wu Jing didn't know what to say, Donnie Yen starred in "Jingwu Fengyun: Chen Zhen", and Wu Yusen's "Sword Rain", Li Qian ignored it lightly.

Moreover, listening to this, his "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can wrestle with Xu Ke's martial arts films.

Xu Ke's martial arts films, basically a banner of Huaguo martial arts films, not to mention Liu Tianwang joining.

Li Qian smiled, "Brother Jing, don't underestimate your own movie, although action movies are niche, but "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is completely different from those Xiangjiang action movies, just the behind-the-scenes organization in the movie The fighting mechanism is very attractive to the audience." ”

Even if Li Qian said this, and his fame bonus, Wu Jing still didn't have much confidence.

Even if Xu Ke's two romance films are not high at the box office, it is also Xu Ke, not to mention that Wu Jing also filmed "The Legend of Shushan" under him in his early years.

Filming under someone else's hand is like meeting a high school homeroom teacher after graduating from college, even if you are tall, a head taller than the aging homeroom teacher, and can hit two with one hand, you will involuntarily feel a little worried and obedient.

It's just that in addition to the National Day file, there is no good schedule to come, the summer file can't catch up, and the New Year file has been arranged, so we can't wait for next year.

In this way, the schedule has been finalized, and the later stage of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has to continue, and there are only three months left before the end of September.

.......

Li Qian then returned to Huairou Film and Television Base to continue the filming of "I Am Legend", and with the arrival of July, the summer war officially began.

On July 1st, "The King of Guns" starring Gu Tianle and Wu Yanzu took the lead in debuting, and got a high box office of 40 million in the first weekend and four days, making a good start for the summer season.

The word of mouth is good, 45 million in the second week, and the total box office in eleven days is as high as 85 million.

Breaking 100 million is certain, there is a Hong Kong film that breaks 100 million, but there seems to be no one who blows the revival of Hong Kong films, and this film is still much worse than the previous "Eavesdropping".

The comedy movie "Xi Travel" starring Xu Zheng, Huang Yi, and Happy Family on the 2nd was released, and it got 6.5 million in three days.

However, it got 12 million in the second week, and the box office soared.

But the complete opposite of the box office, word-of-mouth... There is no word of mouth, only scolding.

is a film that is interested in playing tickets, just like "Three Smiles: Talented and Beautiful" starring Guo Deguang, all kinds of vulgar and spoofed.

At that time, a film critic asked Guo Deguang, did he take movies seriously?

As a result, the famous cross talk actor who had just become a director replied without thinking about it, "I really don't take it too seriously."

If you don't take the movie seriously, what good movie can you make?

As the film market is getting better and better, all kinds of cross talk circles, hosting circles, and everything are coming to exaggerate and make movies to make money, and they are all aiming at comedy.

But comedy is not easy to film, don't say that there are tears in laughter, at least laugh without embarrassment.

In the film "Xi Youji", even professional film critics don't want to complain, and a film critic who took his children to the movies directly wrote, "At the beginning, children watched it with relish

Halfway through, the child starts to make less noise, and at the end, the child falls asleep. ”

The best bad movie of the year has one more strong contender.

There are a lot of movies in the summer file, and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2" starring Huang Xiaoming won 40 million box office in ten days.

He has acted in a TV series version before, all kinds of exaggerated and embarrassing acts, I really don't know where I got the courage to play the movie version again.

Liang Jingru's courage?

has just performed good acting skills in "The Wind", and it seems that Huang Xiaoming was thrown into the sewer all of a sudden.

On the 22nd, the most heavyweight movie in the summer file, the disaster blockbuster "Tangshan Earthquake" directed by Ma Xiaogang was released.

As an emotional film, Huayang has always been promoted in the name of a disaster blockbuster when it is promoted.

This kind of theme, if it is written as an emotional film, it is estimated that it will be a little dissuaded, but the disaster blockbuster is different, "2012" has just become popular, and it also brought out the rumor of the end of the world in 2012.

36.2 million on the first day, surpassing the 27 million on the first day of "Avatar", and creating a new first-day box office record in mainland film history.

A big bang without a doubt!

In the first weekend, it got a super high box office of 190 million in four days, almost 200 million in four days.

Huayang Media's stock rose sharply, and Ma Xiaogang was in high spirits.

However, then a large number of voices began to question the authenticity of the box office, after all, Huayang has a criminal record, "The Wind" was less than 7 million on the first day, and the media reported 11 million.

can make Ma Xiaogang angry, there was no film released last year, and this year it was a blockbuster, leaving Zhang Yimou, Wu Yusen, and Li Qian far away, the only one at the box office, but it was questioned by so many people.

No one questioned other people's big sales, but he was poured out, so many people scolded him for cheating, and there was no reason to discriminate against him?

The angry Ma Xiaogang immediately posted a long post on Weibo.

"Some people deliberately believe that the box office of "Tang" on the first day is false, and they are sad that it is impossible to surpass "Avatar" on the first day, and our elites are afraid of losing the face of the Chinese people.

How is that possible? It must be fake! I'm really sorry for hurting your hearts, the 36.2 million on the first day is true, it will only be low and not high, because bragging about the tax, the nation has suffered frustration and developed an inferiority complex, or how can it be sung in the national anthem, and the slaves who are hungry and cold will get up?"

It can be seen from these words that Ma Xiaogang must have written it himself, and he was really angry.

According to the data, there are 17.13 million films, 23.7 million figures, and 820,000 IMAXs, totaling 41.66 million, more than the 36.2 million announced to the public.

But, fake, definitely fake!

Still questioned.

Ma Xiaogang posted three more Weibo posts in a row, and even accompanied by a poem by a great man, "Man Jianghong - and Comrade Guo Moluo", "The four seas are churning and the clouds and water are angry, and the five continents are shaking and thundering." Sweep away all pests and pests, and be invincible."

But it's useless, what should be questioned is still questioned, on various forums, many people analyzed all kinds of reasons, and took out photos of small crowds in remote cinemas in broad daylight to prove that the box office was fake.

Not to mention that the photoelectric is out, the deputy director of the Film Bureau said in an interview that there is no problem with the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake", and there is no so-called fraud.

However, there are still doubts, and they are scolded again with optoelectronics.

In this way, a good touching movie was a box office hit and turned into a farce.

.....

"This Ma Xiaogang, is there too many people who have offended, and the retribution for the bad mouth is coming. ”

Li Qian looked at all kinds of doubts on the Internet and Weibo, scolded Optoelectronics, scolded Ma Xiaogang for consuming the suffering of the people of Tangshan, and was speechless, I really don't know why this group of people is full of food.

"Tangshan Earthquake" is very good-looking, especially touching. ”

Li Qian casually posted on Weibo, even if he was very unhappy to watch Ma Xiaogang, but he had to admit that "Tangshan Earthquake" was really good.

It's a good movie, Li Qian supports it, anyway, he doesn't have a film to be released, and he moves his fingers
