Chapter 546 The most exciting historical war movie (6k monthly tickets are requested)
"Director Chen, do you have any feelings about getting the three gold medals this time?"
"I feel very happy, it has fulfilled my big wish."
"I heard that "The Joker" has a good reputation and is very recognized by film critics and audiences. Do you have the idea of winning an Oscar next?"
"Yes, I can't catch up this year, and I should participate in next year's Oscar."
Leonardo is almost crazy about winning the award, and he must try it.
The media reporter also thought of this question, and someone in the crowd asked.
"Will Leonardo win the Oscar next year?"
"Little Lizi also won the Berlin Best Actor. Didn't he be with you?"
Chen Linfeng replied, "I will definitely try to report it at that time. As for which specific award will depend on the judges' opinions."
Everyone knows that Oscar relies on public relations, and the direction of public relations represents the direction of vigorous promotion.
But it is better to give Oscar some face in public.
He paused and said, "As for Leo, he won the award, he would definitely want to go home and be happy. When the movie is released, he will follow him to promote it."
When it comes to the release of the movie, a reporter asked, "Will "The Joker" be released in the mainland? I heard that this movie will be stuck with big scissors."
Chen Linfeng said in surprise, "Who did you hear?"
"Anyway, I haven't heard of it. The movie review depends on the above meaning. Now the result has not come out yet, and I'm not sure." "What do you think of the current movie review system?"
Who is this? I'm not comfortable.
Chen Linfeng looked up and found that he was a reporter from People's Daily, holding a sign on the microphone.
Are you still an official mediator, do you poke a knife for yourself?
"As the public thinks, I also think there are indeed omissions in the review system.
But I think the direction that should be corrected is not the relaxation of restrictions as some people say."
Chen Linfeng looked serious, "Actually, I am also facing the review problem in Hollywood. Or to put it another way, every country has local taboos and should not touch it."
"For example, just like in Europe and the United States, you cannot directly describe the artists who failed the exam, and explain the so-called villains have their own soft or positive emotions.
Or you may want to describe the human nature of the Nazis, and think they may also be good people."
"Similarly, in China, I care more about some points and don't want people to touch them. This is understandable."
"Of course, the big scissors are indeed too strict in some places and can be appropriately relaxed, and I agree with this.
But correspondingly, I think some places should be stricter, such as the obvious tampering with history, which is too loose."
Hearing this, a sentence popped up in the crowd, "Is Director Chen accusing Director Lu of "The King's Feast"?"
Um?
It's challenging again!
Why is this related to Lu Chuan again?
Chen Linfeng felt a little confused. After a moment of recollection in his mind, he realized that Lu Chuan seemed to be brave enough to release the movie in the current Spring Festival.
Before he was in Berlin, he had not paid much attention to the situation of this year's Spring Festival.
"Is there any problem with Director Lu's "The King's Feast"? I haven't seen the specifics of the film yet."
In fact, I watched it with my nose pinched in my previous life, and after watching it, I almost felt that my brain was forced.
Now he doesn't plan to eat shit again.
He asked curiously, "By the way, I remember "The King's Feast" was a film on the Spring Festival. What's the situation now?"
Everyone who is a reporter wants to watch the fun.
Everyone wants to watch Lu Chuan’s lively fun.
Everyone introduced Lu Director Lu’s “great achievements”.
"The King's Feast" was overwhelmed by the other three directors, and has only won 30 million yuan in box office so far."
"A certain petal score was 4.8 points and 5.0 points in the v site. It was spoofed by netizens, called 'The King's Leftovers'."
"Many people commented that he was tampering with history, which happened to be in conflict with the strict direction you mentioned earlier."
"..."
Chen Linfeng is a little difficult to comment.
This evaluation feels worse than in the previous life.
Why did Lu Chuan have to be released in the Spring Festival?
We must compete with the three major directors.
Oh, that's all right. "So that's the case. My expectations for the new film of the road director are low enough. I'll go back and see what's going on." This topic has passed for the time being.
The interview lasted for more than an hour, and then Chen Linfeng and others left the airport under the protection of security and personnel from the company.
After coming back, you must go back to see your parents first and make up for the Spring Festival.
Now it’s just the tenth day of the first lunar month, and it’s not until the Lantern Festival, it’s still within the year.
Of course, Liu Xixi is not here, so it is inevitable to visit Liu Xiaoli on her behalf.
After this person didn't worry much about his daughter, he raised his career and opened a dance class to teach young children.
Life is fulfilling.
After meeting, I just asked more about the situation of the Berlin Film Festival, and then it was the birth.
I feel that there is no difference between it and middle-aged and elderly women.
In addition, what Chen Linfeng is more concerned about is this year's Spring Festival.
Although he has less participation, the excitement is not reduced at all.
At the beginning of the year, the media hyped the competition between the three major directors, and finally came true.
The most fierce competition is the three movies: "The Battle of Song and Meng: 1259" (full name of the movie), "The Grandmaster of the Generation" and "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons".
This determines the main situation from the first day of the Lunar New Year.
At that time, Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast" still accounted for some screenings, about ten percent.
But "The King's Feast" only won 10 million yuan in the first day of the New Year.
This is equivalent to directly declared the end of the war.
I didn't get much box office, but my reputation was very good.
Of course it has a negative meaning.
I was criticized by netizens.
It mainly focuses on his description of his "basic feelings" of his past historical figures such as Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Han Xin.
Not to mention various historical conspiracy theories.
In this way, Lu Chuan has always claimed that she is recreating history and has searched a lot of information for this.
Originally, after Chen Linfeng criticized the movie "Nanjing" before, it became famous at that time.
Now many movie fans don’t trust him very much, and they want to see the situation first.
As a result, after watching the warriors in the first grade of junior high school, the public opinion completely shattered.
Abstract no one has seen anyone except for those who try it out.
The screening also plummeted.
The competition in the Spring Festival is the most intense, and you can't hold on. The theaters are not polite and will definitely reduce the screening for you.
So, it was still a competition of those three.
In the first year of the Chinese New Year, the box office gap between the three films was not too big, with about 82 million, 78 million, and 73 million respectively.
After all, early marketing is almost all tied together.
Zhou Xingxing's "The Demon Subduing Chapter" is in front, "The Battle of Song and Meng" is later, and "The Grandmaster" is in the last place.
From the box office perspective, it is obvious that all three are benefiting from the Spring Festival.
In his previous life, "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" should be less than 80 million.
The movies that have never appeared in "The Battle of Song and Meng" are not low.
The Grandmaster of the Generation has changed its schedule, and the results are obviously different.
The first week of his previous life was only 180 million, and now it is obviously much higher.
In the past two years, Chen Linfeng made the Spring Festival period in advance with "Your Name" and "Police 2".
Audiences have gradually become accustomed to watching movies on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This habit is very fast.
Now the market has exceeded 280 million in a single day, which is incomparable to later generations, but compared with the past, it has been rising.
The rankings of the three movies remain basically unchanged in the second and third grades of junior high school.
"The Grandmaster" gradually failed to keep up with the pace, and closed at 180 million in three days, just the same as the box office in the first week of his previous life.
The competition between "Journey to the West" and "The Battle of Song and Meng" is gradually becoming fierce, with three-day box offices of 250 million and 240 million respectively.
By the third day of junior high school, the box office of the two was almost the same.
However, "The Battle of Song and Meng" is falling, and its reputation is getting better and better.
The market gradually gave way to these two movies, and the theater schedule was basically the same.
One is a movie about gods and demons, a theme of Journey to the West, and a natural hot topic.
One is a Grand Slam, a national teacher director, a big scene of war.
The plot this time is actually pretty good, and it can almost be called the best movie for Lao Tou in recent years.
So the competition soon became fierce.
On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, there were news reports in the newspapers that slandered the other party every day.
Zhang Weiping and Wang Zhonglei are almost fighting.
Not only that, Zhang Weiping also focused on exaggerating. The movie "The Battle of Song and Meng" was supported by Chen Linfeng, and the movie script adopted a large number of his opinions.
The big talk is that this is another cooperation between Director Chen and Director Zhang.
This is the second place in "Sunset".
Then he was scolded by Huayi for being shameless.
However, Xiao Chen is really not involved in "Journey to the West", and he also wants to try to play the game, but there is no reason.
In the final first week, "Journey to the West to Subdue the Demons" was 660 million.
The Battle of Song and Meng" had 720 million, and it exceeded 100 million in a single day for several consecutive days, and it has achieved a turnaround.
During the time Chen Linfeng has returned, both sides are still fighting.
He went to the cinema specifically and watched the finished film of "The Battle of Song and Meng".
I have only watched the edited version before, without dubbing and post-production special effects, which is really not beautiful.
The current plot is a version that has been modified after Chen Linfeng gave his opinions.
The opening was aerial photography, with the large scene of Mongolian cavalry covering the entire grassland. They marched from the grassland to the Central Plains and rushed towards a small town.
The protagonist of the movie is a child of a young hero from the Central Plains.
It was at this time that he was invaded by the Mongolian invasion and his family was destroyed.
He was the only one left, and he fled from the north to the south with a group of villagers who were unwilling to surrender because of family feuds.
Even though he became a small officer in the Southern Song army.
The prelude of the movie is mainly about the background of Mongolia going south, burning, killing, looting, and leading the male lead.
Zhang Yimou chose Liu Ye to star in the movie.
The following first act is to show the mountain fortress of Diaoyu City and the war preparations of the main general Wang Jian (played by Zhang Fengyi) from the perspective of the male protagonist.
Zhang Yimou followed Chen Linfeng's advice and found many experts and professors to ensure the restoration as much as possible.
The craftsmen transformed the city defense, such as "Jiukou Pot", and made huge iron smelting equipment such as "Jiukou Pot", to chisel mountains and drink water to prevent the siege of the river... Outside the city, the male protagonist accepted orders to implement the solid walls and clear the fields, and led the scout team to fight with the Mongolian army scouts.
The first act focuses on setting off the atmosphere of war and also lays the tone of the whole movie. It is a group portrait drama.
Deputy General Zhang Jue (played by Hu Jun),
Yu Jie (Bao Guoan), Mengge Khan (Baesenzabu), Mongolian general Shusuhuli (Deliger), etc., all appeared at this time, showing the situation between the two sides.
When the close-up of Diaoyu City appears in the movie, showing the unique "one-character city wall" (using ridges to divide the enemy troops), as well as a stone turret and a bed crossbow array, the texture of the entire movie instantly rises to a height.
Some viewers in the same theater even exclaimed, obviously marveling at the costumes and props level and special effects scenes of domestic movies at this time.
Thereafter the second act, the Mongolian army sieges the city, and the entire battlefield became a meat grinder.
This is also the first climax of the movie.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
When Chen Linfeng was watching, he seemed to be watching "Lord of the Rings". The movie felt like the Battle of Minas Tiris in "Lord of the Rings".
In the first stage, remote counterattacks are carried out.
Mongol army's Hui Hui artillery projectiles vs Song army's "Pi Li Cannon" counterattack.
There was then a scene where Shu Suhuli led the Mongolian suicide squad to climb a rock climbing scene, and the soldiers were shot down by a rolling wooden stone.
There are also large-scale battles on the city wall, and the scene of people slashing their flesh and making their blood swell.
The intensity of the war gradually increased.
The competition for the city gates became the focus.
The Mongolian army siege hammer hit Baotiecheng Gate, the Song army dumped hot oil and burned the enemy, and the scorched corpses and iron tools were stuck together, and human lives were like mustard.
Zhang Jue led the dead soldiers out of the city to counterattack and used the hook and sickle to destroy the ladder.
It all happened during this period.
The Song army and the civilians were united, fighting against the bandits with one mind, and the general led the army and the soldiers used their lives.
There are all kinds of people on the Mongolian army, including strong attacks and surprise attacks in the middle of the siege, cowhide shield formation, night attacks, and multiple troops to fight together.
Strong strength, the pressure is simply through the screen.
When the battle was at its peak, heavy rain suddenly came, and Mongolian military gunpowder failed to get damp (historical records).
The war was suspended, and the city was able to take a breath for a while, and the almost broken string was finally stabilized.
This scene lasted for about 50 minutes, and it took a long time, but the moviegoers were attentive and could hardly feel the passage of time.
Even though Chen Linfeng had seen it in advance, he was completely immersed in it with the blessing of sound effects and bgm.
He only felt that the money was worth it, and it was indeed the price of it.
After the script was originally decided, the cost was calculated.
I learned that the production cost was at least 300 million yuan, which was still real, so Zhang Weiping shrank at that time, with great risks and he didn't have that much money.
It was Chen Linfeng who made the majority of the project, and finally the project was officially launched.
This is also the reason why Zhang Weiping has become increasingly weak in the face of Lao Tou in recent years.
They really don't need you anymore.
The production fee of 300 million yuan is not enough for actors, and it is the first time in the country that it has made such a big deal.
These thoughts were in my mind, and the movie continued.
After a brief breath, what we immediately came to was even more cruel in the battle.
However, history often has many unexpected and accidental factors. When it is almost difficult to support it, the male protagonist's cannon hit Mengge Khan and knocked him down.
The entire war ushered in a critical turning point.
At this time the camera was raised. In Diaoyu City, the Mongolian army retreated outside. The soldiers were slumped in a pool of blood, without cheering, only numbness and gasping.
Far further on the Western continent, a cavalry (Egypt Mamluk) defeated the Mongolian Western Expedition Army.
The Battle of Ayinzalut ended the western expansion of Mongolia.
The northern Mongol Empire was the first to Hara and Lin, and Kublai Khan competed for the throne with Ali Buge.
The huge Mongolian Empire seemed to finally see hope for the end.
End, time accelerates.
Diaoyu City was there until one day when the Mongolian army came again.
The already old Zhang Jue summoned the military and civilians, and the male protagonist was there, indicating the arrival of another war.
The movie ends here.
Chen Linfeng sighed. This war 36 years later is a sure loss.
Afterward it was a jump in Yashan, and China was completely ruled by aliens for the first time.
Of the New Year, of course, it cannot be so depressed. So the movie is just a brief display, and there will be a hard war in the future.
Most ordinary audiences don’t know the history of Diaoyu City very well and don’t know what the last section represents.
Most of them were excited to discuss the movie's display of war scenes. "It's so exciting. The first time I've watched such a great war scene." "Yes, when I talk about siege, I just climbed up with a ladder. I knew that there were so many siege equipment." "It's a bit abrupt when I beat the Mongolian Khan in one shot, and it feels so fake." "Brother, this is a historical fact."
"
"Ah?"
"..."
After returning home, Chen Linfeng searched for reviews of movies online.
Sure enough, the one who praises the most is the presentation of the war scene, which is too real.
A lot of war techniques in the ancient cold weapons era are the first time we see.
This time the expert consultant really worked.
Everyone generally appreciates Zhang Yimou's words that he listens to professionals for the first time.
"The fake war scenes of "Heroes" and "Golden Armor" have changed their ideas and are so outstanding."
"I have watched "1259" three times and I have never been tired of watching it. This is the real war movie. What did those things have been filmed before?"
"Indeed, this is the most exciting historical war movie I have ever seen."
"After watching the movie, there was almost no peeing point. I even mentioned the suppression of military generals by the Southern Song Dynasty and the implicit suggestion that the Southern Song Dynasty was doomed to fail.
But just a little light, there was no romantic scene throughout the whole process, and no women even appeared. The details were too appropriate, and it was not like a movie made by Lao Touzi."
"Haha, I heard that Xiao Chen was the director of the script, and it was the history he suggested to shoot at first, and I felt that I understood something."
"There was nothing to hide, and the screenwriter column on the encyclopedia clearly stated Chen Linfeng's name."
"It turns out that it is Director Chen. It's okay to be a screenwriter just. I hope Director Chen will continue to be a screenwriter for Director Zhang in the future."
"Yes, the pictures and big scenes of the national teacher, plus Director Chen's script, are simply invincible."
"The box office is 1 billion, keep rushing for me, such a movie will have to get more box office."
"..."
Chen Linfeng saw this and searched the box office of the current Spring Festival.
The Battle of Song and Meng" 10-day box office, with a box office of 1.04 billion.
"Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" is 920 million, and "The Grandmaster of the Generation" is 480 million.
According to his memory, "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" was beyond his previous life, and was returned later.
In the 10 days of his previous life, it had almost reached 1 billion, but now it is still a lot short of it. It will take almost two days to break through.
This is normal. The competition during the Spring Festival is fierce, and the screening is not as good as the box office, so the box office will definitely be affected.
"The Grandmaster" takes advantage of it, even if the box office of the other two companies is much lower than that of the other two companies, after all, marketing is famous.
This is much better than the final box office of 280 million in the previous life.
The biggest winner is Zhang Yimou. Whether it is an industry or a filmmaker, he has a high evaluation of "The Battle of Song and Meng".
The second big director besides Chen Linfeng to break through one billion.
And it is a real breakthrough in quality, which is different from "Lost in Thailand".
The key is that 300 million yuan was invested in the production of the movie, and combined with marketing expenses, 350 million yuan could not be defeated.
Such a big production was never dared to think of in the past.
It's not like in the past when I was clamoring for a lot of money to make movies.
In addition, there is a script, and the industry has already agreed that Xiao Chen has intervened.
After all, Zhang Weiping is so obsessed with marketing. If it weren't true, who would dare to do this?
Xiao Chen is famous for being petty, can you take advantage of this?
It is also because of this that someone in the industry has specially studied the script of "The Battle of Song and Meng".
Speaking of this, the plot is very simple, it is a normal smooth shooting.
The only thing that is more commendable is that the plot has a better rhythm and follows the format of the three-act Hollywood act.
But it doesn't seem so strict about the three acts.
The normal Hollywood script, the second act has the first climax scene, and the final act must have a higher emotional point, which is the common decisive battle with the big villain.
But "The Battle of Song and Meng" was collected in the third act. After a short siege scene, Mengge Khan suddenly died.
Then it becomes a montage-style high vision.
The shot of the entire battlefield where the soldiers and military and civilians looked up one after another seemed to break through the dimensional wall, which made people shocked.
It not only highlights the cruelty of war, but also seems to be warning people today not to forget the past.
Some film critics call it the best shot of this year, which can be compared with the classic magical shots in film history.
Then it was refuted by people who have been to the Berlin Film Festival, and there was also Arthur's ladder dance alone in "The Joker", which is the real art.
It's a bit far.
After many industry insiders analyzed it, they felt that "The Battle of Song and Meng" was a typical major scene, focusing on special effects, and slight script types.
But some people pointed out the importance of the story rhythm. If there was no script rhythm like Chen Linfeng, in epic wars, they could still use short scenes to show group portraits, which would be better.
Indeed, the grand war drama shows the collective, while the story conflicts and emotional flow of the movie must focus on the individual.
The two are essentially conflicting.
This is also why the historical war films of the past are always played into family matters.
It's like "Meng Meng, stand up" or "going war for women", they all want to create characters, but they deviate from the theme of war.
From this perspective, Chen Linfeng's script seems to be extremely exquisite.
One of the two sides has a good shot of Zhang Yimou, and he can command so many people to make big scenes.
A script that blows Chen Linfeng is wonderful, creating so many vivid characters.
Arguing with each other endlessly.
Combined with the news that Chen Linfeng is now in the Grand Slam, public opinion is rampant.
This movie also pushes Zhang Yimou to a higher level.
After all, the box office has exceeded one billion, and the quality of the movie has really exceeded the public's psychological expectations.
Therefore, there are many people who praise it.
The box office of the movie is also amid these hypes, and it is getting higher and higher.
