Chapter 465 is not cheap
At the beginning of the premiere ceremony, Li Qian no longer had to go up to help them stand on the platform, and it was not the first time to make a movie.
Even, a few years ago, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" sold 200 million, which was already a very high box office back then, and Wu Jing was a success in the director's business.
On stage, Wu Jing is the only protagonist, and there are no other important roles in the movie "Wolf Warrior".
That is to say, I will talk about the original intention of making this movie, thanks to the Jinling Military Region, and thanks to Li Qian for his support.
"Chinese need blood and tough guys in their bones!"
Wu Jing, who didn't seem to be good at words on the outside, said such a sentence with passion.
More than half an hour later, the film began to be officially screened.
The standard commercial movie story framework begins with the male protagonist Leng Feng disobeying orders during an operation and shooting and killing the hostage-taking criminals without authorization, and is locked up.
is a very good, very cheesy routine, and the characters come out directly, which also leads to the plot behind.
The most burning scene in front should be Ni Dahong smoking a cigar, the mercenaries are strafing with sweeping machine guns and bazookas on the speedboat, bullets are flying sideways, and cannonballs are roaring, but he is calmly smoking a cigar.
The villain is full of pretense, and a powerful villain adds a lot of color to the movie.
The next plot is simple, nothing more than Leng Feng's wolf squadron fighting to the death with international terrorists, and finally Wu Jing, as the protagonist, has a one-on-one duel with the terrorist boss.
Although it is a bit inappropriate for modern warfare to engage in this kind of 1v1 duel scene, 1v1 also has its benefits.
The story is relatively simple, and there are quite a lot of slots and hard injuries, but it is also a relatively mature war movie in China.
Needless to say, action scenes are what Wu Jing is best at, coupled with his frequent camera switching, in terms of visual effects, the action scenes are very exciting.
This is a bit of a Western style, domestic action movies and Western action movies are two completely different things, not to mention these front-line action civilians in China, those well-known action actors, each of them is kung fu on the body.
A professional action actor has kung fu, and many times a shot can be done in one go.
Only in Hollywood, their action scenes rely on editing to achieve the best viewing effect and smoothness.
Schwarzenegger was a bodybuilder before, and Stallone played ball, threw discus, worked as a physical education teacher, and wrote scripts before becoming an actor.
Breaking the lens avoids the shortcomings of the actors' action scenes, and relies on cutting the lens and editing to achieve better results.
A ten-second fight scene, maybe five or six shots, is normal in Hollywood.
As a professional action actor, Wu Jing has no problem completing a long-shot fight, but he still chooses to use the Hollywood way, but he doesn't cut it so much.
It is a combination of Chinese and Western, which maintains the fluency of the fight, and also increases the sense of sharpness and excitement.
The handling of the literary drama is quite ordinary, and in the end, the villain is verbose, "Do you want to die for your country?
It's a clichΓ© line, and even this is the point, well-designed, but think of those less important lines are vulgar, and they don't sound like they would be said in ordinary words.
However, the villain dies from talking too much, most film and television dramas, and comics will be like this, the villain will always have the advantage first, and then be triumphant and arrogant.
first suppressed and then promoted, and it was even more exciting when the protagonist counter-killed.
In the end, when a large group of foreign troops drove to the border, the protagonist restrained the villain who pretended to be forced at the beginning, and shouted condescendingly and presumptuously, "Come on, come on!", but those troops did not dare to take a step forward to cross the border, the hearts of the audience reached a climax.
This is not only substituted for the protagonist, but also the pride of being a citizen of the People's Republic of China, hundreds of regular troops on the other side, facing the national border, but they dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool, they can only look up at the Chinese soldiers who roar at them!
The beginning and end are very cool, which is important and especially affects the look and feel.
......
The next day, the movie was officially released, and with the painting of "Transformers 4", it received a large number of schedules.
"Small Times" and "Beijing 81" have no successor, "There Will Be No Future" has also been released for almost half a month, and "Wolf Warrior" has imported blockbusters "Violent Block", "How to Train Your Dragon 2", and Hong Kong film "Anti-Corruption Storm" at the same time.
A day later, "Wolf Warrior" also landed as the daily box office champion without suspense with a high box office of 63 million on the first day.
Li Qian didn't have any surprises at this box office, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was a big hit a few years ago, and Wu Jing is not a rookie director.
Of course, it is still more than 30 million lower than "Small Times 3", and the box office of that movie is so evil, accounting for two-thirds of the total box office in the first weekend and four days.
The reputation of the movie is also very good, even though there are many flaws, but after all, it is a rare modern military movie in China, and the audience will be more tolerant.
War films, there are exciting war scenes, there are people's soldiers who bravely kill the enemy and finally win, and there are those who fight the enemy to raise the prestige of our country, which is satisfied from the vision to the heart, and the most basic conditions have been completed.
The audience is happy, their eyes and hearts are satisfied, and they leave a lot of comments like "too cool" and "Wu Jing" on the Internet, which is a success for a commercial movie.
The media is also more tolerant of "Wolf Warrior", and some media have played a title such as "A milestone work of Chinese military films, look at the appearance of contemporary soldiers from "Wolf Warrior"!".
"The 3D military blockbuster "Wolf Warrior" officially landed in the domestic film market, and the audience raised the national flag and shouted in unison, "Those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away"!
This news is also accompanied by pictures and news, this is a movie-watching activity organized by the future movie APP platform, but when hundreds of viewers shouted this sentence in unison, Li Qian believed that they were all excited from the heart.
The overall evaluation is relatively objective, pointing out both the advantages and the disadvantages.
The famous general Chen Tang of the Western Han Dynasty still has his heartfelt words in his ears, and the annual hot-blooded action blockbuster "Wolf Warrior" is passionately interpreted, the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, and the good man is determined to protect the family and defend the country, although he has not regretted his death.
The film is by no means a formality, the story is extremely complete, full of texture, whether it is special effects, or emotional rendering, and even war scenes, it is commendable.
"Looking at many Hollywood works that explode hormones to destroy fighters and tanks, "Wolf Warrior" has not been able to bring a comparable viewing experience, and it is difficult to have any new ideas in the simple and straightforward heroism of the old stalks, but this is a masculine work that shows the prestige of our army and the soul of our army. β
"In fact, I refused to watch "Wolf Warrior" at the beginning, because watching domestic war films is a very risky choice in my impression, most of the films are all kinds of tall heroes who are afraid of the same enemy and look at death as if they were at home, and they use various skills that violate scientific common sense to surprise the enemy, plus some five-cent special effects, and the scene looks very intense and lively
But based on the strong recommendation of my friends, I walked into the cinema with the mentality of "what if I hit 5 million", but I never expected that 5 million was really not won, but I changed my pessimistic attitude towards domestic war films. β
"Haha..."
Li Qian, who was scrolling through the news, suddenly laughed.
"What's the matter, what's so funny. Tong Liya leaned her head over curiously.
"It's nothing, when I saw this duang, I remembered that Cheng Long used to shoot an advertisement for Overlord shampoo. β
Li Qian still couldn't help but think about it and laugh, it was really Cheng Long's advertisement that was too magical.
However, even if the advertisement is so memorable, the overlord with a market value of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is still not as good as a year.
Cheng Long's endorsement of the dying BUFF blessing, a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars will definitely not be able to bear it.
Tong Liya was stunned for a moment before she remembered the advertisement, and immediately had an impression in her mind, and she couldn't help laughing.
"I can all want to go together, but "Wolf Warrior" is really not like those main theme war films, it is very good-looking, but the heroine has too few scenes. β
"It's just a men's play, and there are no female characters in "Soldier Assault". Li Qian shrugged, "But there were a lot of female audiences at the premiere over there, and some of them liked it a lot." β
Movies pay attention to an audience, otherwise Hollywood is increasingly committed to promoting the younger age of movies.
Female audiences account for half of the market, and without this part of the audience, the box office will be cut a lot.
It's okay to be idle, Li Qian flipped through the news, and sure enough, he immediately saw the scolding.
"Don't vomit or be unhappy, the movie is completely a three-no movie, no style, no connotation, no scenes, foreign hostile forces + self-aggrandizement of big countries + nondescript flirtation, this level of movies is also suitable for primary and secondary school students to organize collective viewing.
Of course, we can't stop many so-called "hot-blooded youths" and "patriots" from raising their arms and shouting, because the sentence "Those who offend our Chinese will be punished even if they are far away" brought tears to their eyes? Are you sick?
Li Qian could see the distortion on the audience's face through the computer screen, and couldn't help frowning.
However, it is also expected, it is strange that no one scolds, after all, it is a modern military movie.
"How can this man say so ugly? Tong Liya also looked at the computer screen with an unhappy face, "I found that in the past two years, netizens seem to have become more and more extreme, especially when scolding, one is more and more ugly." β
"It's normal to have a channel to vent and find a sense of existence, it's like a garbage can, it's only going to get fuller, and the garbage is only going to get more and more. Li Qian said.
After all, it's not a very good movie, there are indeed hard injuries, and there are more and more scolding and complaints.
As the film continued to be a big hit, the total box office reached 212 million in three days, and the controversy of the film also reached its peak after the first weekend.
In the eyes of some radical audiences, this is a big bad movie under the banner of patriotism.
This is still a relatively low-end scolding, some people list dozens of loopholes and hard injuries in the movie one by one, and criticize the movie one by one.
From the beginning of the movie, the attack on the factory did not drop tear gas, but the strong attack caused the other side to detonate the bomb, causing casualties to our army, and the whole movie was picked up all over again.
......
"Cheap or not, you say that they are not cheap, they hate movies so much, it has only been released for three days, and every detail of the movie has been analyzed from beginning to end, and they have so much spare time. β
Wu Jing said to Li Qian speechlessly, although he had expected to be sprayed, but in the face of these voices, he was still a little unexpected.
"Not used to it?"
Li Qian asked with a smile, "Brother Jing, if you still make modern military films with commercialized entertainment, as long as they are box office hits, it will only be more ugly than this." β
"Isn't this cheap, the analysis is so thorough, you have to watch it at least two or three times, you obviously don't like it, and you have to watch movies you don't like for the sake of scolding, and if you have the energy to do something else, you will get rich early. "Wu Jing was really angry.
"It's good to get used to it, rest assured to continue the roadshow, these voices don't need to be ignored, it won't have any impact. β
......
In fact, Li Qian was also angry, not to mention anything else, this is also a movie he invested in.
happened to have time, Li Qian also accepted an exclusive interview, talking for the movie, and Wu Jing of the province was distracted to deal with these people.
In the office, Lu Chao, a reporter from Xinlang Entertainment and a loyal fan of Li Qian, came with the photographer and started this somewhat hasty interview.
"Hello Director Li, Wu Jing's self-directed and self-starred "Wolf Warrior" has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet, and we also know that you are the producer of this movie, so what do you think of this movie?"
Li Qian said, "Now that we are accustomed to Hollywood's devastating special effects, and we are used to watching the soldiers of the United States turn the tide again and again and save the world, it is time for someone to make a modern war movie of our own."
"Wolf Warrior" fills in a thick steel and iron bone for the lack of modern war films in Chinese films, even if there are still many criticisms in the finished film, but this proves that China is not without modern war films, this is just the first one, Chinese modern war films have a good start, I believe that this genre will continue to improve, and in the near future, the audience will be able to see more mature and wonderful high-quality modern war films. β
"As a pioneer of modern war films, "Wolf Warrior" did give the audience a great surprise, but there were also a lot of criticisms, what do you think of these voices?" Lu Chao then asked.
Li Qian nodded, "I've seen a lot of careful viewers dig out the dozens, and even dozens of loopholes about the movie, there are indeed some things that are not done well, and some of them are easy to explain, we have also discussed them, and we can see them, but I don't want to explain these loopholes one by one, just say a little, the so-called unreasonable movie."
Reality is unreasonable, and the same is true of war, let's just say that Leng Feng is running at full speed in the minefield, using his body to wade through the mine, it looks quite stupid, it is these very stupid behaviors, which happen all the time in places we can't see.
In the self-defense counterattack against Yue, there was a certain soldier who used his flesh and blood to go to the minefield, in order for the troops to be able to cross quickly, I think the same plot happened at many similar times.
I looked for some information and found that when our army was fighting, the cooks often braved the rain of bullets and bullets to deliver food to the front for the soldiers to eat.
Just to make the fighters a little earlier, and even so that they could eat a few minutes earlier, the cooks raced against the bullets at the risk of their lives.
In the current opinion, it is not a big deal to eat an hour late, sometimes you will forget to eat when playing games, and it is undoubtedly a very stupid act to die for a meal, but it is this stupid thing that has made our army famous on various battlefields. β
Li Qian said a lot, although it will be regarded as a scene, but there are still some things I want to say, and there will always be someone who understands.
Lu Chao also thinks so, although life is getting richer and richer, but people's thinking is slowly beginning to change, if it is modern, ** maybe they will be scolded stupid.
At the end of the interview, Lu Chao also seized the time to ask about Li Qian's new film.
"Director Li, "Rejuvenation" has been completed, when will I be able to meet the audience, I haven't seen your movie for more than a year, and the audience and I are waiting for it, and we have been looking forward to it for a long time. β
""Rejuvenation" is still in post-production, and if everything goes well, I can meet you as early as the Chinese New Year. Li Qian thought about it and said, the special effects in the later stage are troublesome and time-consuming.
"Then is it convenient for Director Li to reveal some of the content of the movie?"
"Didn't you say it before, this is a love story that spans more than 70 years, and in this love epic, the movie will take the audience to look back on the history of the past 70 years. β
Li Qian said these two sentences, and said with a smile, "I won't spoil the rest, spoilers are not a good habit, and I will naturally know when the time comes." β
