Chapter 317 There is only one Director Chen now, Chen Kaige? Not familiar!
In this paragraph, Chen Linfeng used a trick to confuse the audience.
In the footage, Zhang Qian led the National People's Congress to set off with great fanfare, and the police also dispatched a large number of people to set up the scene in advance.
The language of the lens caused everyone to misunderstand and think that this was going to be the final battle.
Who would have thought that the two sides are not in the same place and have inconsistent goals.
Later, when Zhang Qian was about to kill someone, the audience below was extremely anxious.
"Why are you so stupid? Don't you know how to guard against the other party cheating?"
"He is lying to you, go back and catch Zhang Qian"
We don’t see much of such a cruel and cunning villain.
I wish I could be in the movie and give Ma Dong some advice.
Fortunately, Zhang Qian didn't go well this time.
Because the protagonist gave the target a body armor in advance and arrived in time, he failed to kill the person.
However, I got the money and left smoothly.
However, Ma Dong also learned about Zhang Qian's intention to escape at this time.
In the end, he successfully blocked Zhang Qian in the airport toilet.
Zhang Yu exhaled, finally the decisive battle was about to begin.
Such a ferocious villain is so rare that you can really feel the threat all the time.
The final battle is very comfortable to watch.
The two sides started a fight in the toilet.
Zhang Qian is certainly ruthless, but Ma Dong is much more ruthless than him.
He didn't give him a chance at all and kept suppressing the whole process.
The fists are fast and heavy, and even agile.
Even if Zhang Qian found a handy tool during the fight, he would not be able to gain the upper hand at all.
In the end, Ma Dong punched the opponent's elbow, dislocating Zhang Qian's arm and wearing a silver bracelet.
Zhang Qian wanted to be cruel, but he was kicked again and his leg was broken.
Even this didn't make him give up his resistance.
I have no choice but to slap him and send him to sleep.
“Fuck, this last part looks so good.”
“Yes, such a ruthless person must be dealt with by Ma Donglai.”
The audience was entertained by how ruthless the villain was at the beginning, and how refreshing it was to watch at the end.
At the end of the premiere, the audience burst into warm applause, and the audience at the back even whistled and cheered.
Chen Linfeng led the creators to the stage to express his thanks.
Zhang Yu sat still, thinking about how to write this movie review.
This actor named Wang Qianyuan has great acting skills.
Including Wang Baoqiang, he can also play the villain, and he is not inferior to Wang Qianyuan in the slightest. It's like a ghost.
These two actors established the conflict and tension of the plot entirely on their own. Of course, the director's guidance was certainly indispensable.
Also, Jiang Wu's performance is also amazing. It's hard to imagine that he used to be a drama actor. He even won everyone's recognition of his acting skills by playing a fool.
Zhang Yu thought for a while and felt inspired.
In other cinemas, as the movie ended, no one left their seats in the screening room. The audience did not leave until the BGM ended.
“This movie is so good. Sure enough, nothing Xiao Chen has produced is bad.”
"I always thought those people on the Internet were just touting it, but I didn't expect it to be true. I was a little hasty."
A pair of young people passed by the aisle and excitedly exchanged their impressions.
Chen Kaige sat quietly, hearing the conversation between the two, and felt very cool and refreshed.
I feel like I have gone a little far.
His views on movies are different from Zhang Yu's. He analyzes them more from the director's perspective.
Although he prefers the style of literary films, he usually watches a lot of Hollywood movies.
In his opinion, Xiao Chen's movie is completely Hollywood-style.
The pace is fast and the camera and editing techniques are not particularly sophisticated, but the conflict in the story is obvious.
It is very clear what should be done and when.
You don’t need to think too much to know that the audience will definitely like to watch this type of film.
Chen Kaige dislikes this routine very much. He feels that it has no technical content and is just a formulaic question.
Xiao Chen, why have you fallen?
It’s just that he knows in his heart that this kind of gameplay is the most popular among the audience.
In Chen Kaige's opinion, it's not that he can't do this, he just doesn't bother to do it.
At least, that’s what he thought.
The audience around them gradually dispersed after listening to the ending song.
Chen Kaige stood up slowly, feeling that he was strong in loneliness.
After all, I paid by mistake.
At the premiere, it’s time for audience questions.
An audience member stood up and asked, "How did Wang Qianyuan act so viciously? What kind of person are you in real life?"
It seems that he has a deep memory of this villain.
Later, someone asked Jiang Wu, "Teacher Jiang Wu, do you know how to box in real life? I feel that in the movie, you fought very professionally."
Someone also asked Wang Bao Qiang, "You have always played honest and honest characters before, why did you make a 360 turn this time?"
Chen Linfeng was deeply gratified. In the previous promotion process, he had always been the main focus, and several actors The sense of presence is not high.
However, from now on, everyone is obviously interested in several actors.
This is a good thing and shows that the characters in the movie really left a deep impression on them.
Chen Linfeng’s feeling was right.
The reports and film reviews the next day praised the performances of several protagonists.
There is no trace of the transparent look before the movie was released.
Among the newspapers stacked at the newsstand, the headline of the entertainment section of the Southern Zhou Morning Post is very conspicuous:
"A Hollywood-style movie"
This film review report occupies most of the page, giving a comprehensive introduction to the movie "Police Incident".
“The scripts produced by Xiao Chen are as exciting and solid as ever. After showing off his artistic skills at the Venice Film Festival, this time he has invested in the field of commercial films.
It seems that he is even more powerful in this field.
The use of lenses is completely different from the previous film, and the editing has become faster and brighter. Xiao Chen never disappoints in his field.
Before the film was released, the director said that he was making an action movie that was different from the previous ones. Obviously, he did it.
The action scenes are full of realism and it is easy to immerse yourself in them. This kind of fighting scenes that do not seem to have so many tricks has a different kind of charm.
In this movie, it is not only the director who leaves a deep impression on people, but also the actors.
The villain performances of Wang Qianyuan and Wang Baoqiang can be regarded as the best breakthrough acting this year.
One is not very famous, and the other is ‘Shagen’ and ‘Xu Sanduo’ who have shown simple and honest images in the past, but when they play villains, they give people a more terrifying feeling than those classic villains in the past. ”
Subsequently, the report launched a series of praises for the performance of several actors in the film.
He even praised the female police officer Liu Qianqian’s guest appearance in the film, saying that it added a touch of brilliance to this men’s drama. It seems that the film critics are really satisfied with the performances of all the actors in the movie.
Finally, the report gave an overall evaluation of the movie:
“A movie that is definitely worth watching, with features that are different from previous Hong Kong movies and mainland police and gangster movies. Temperament is a rare masterpiece in recent years, and to a certain extent, it can be used as a perfect example of related genre films
The most important thing is that you will definitely feel happy watching this movie.
The confrontation between violence and violence, the opponent is eliminated neatly and neatly. After reading it, all the gloomy emotions will disappear.
This is a movie that can make people eat two more bowls of rice after watching it. ”
Zhang Yu praised the movie very much. He really likes "Police Incident".
And those who praise it will be criticized.
Among the film reviews in the Yanjing Newspaper, there was a long review that disparaged the excessive violence in the film and the director's shooting techniques.
“A ridiculous movie and a representative of the director’s artistic decadence. Xiao Chen is claiming to be a new type of action movie, but in the whole movie I only saw the protagonist solve the battle with a slap in the face. Where is the action?”< br>
But fans who have watched this movie clearly stand in the affirmative.
A certain film's score was calculated during the screening period, and it was given a score of close to 9 points. This was obviously an overestimation by fans.
After the official release, the score slowly dropped. After reaching 8.3 points, it gradually became up and down.
After all, it is an action movie and does not win with plot. This score can be said to be much higher than that of movies of the same type.
Thanks to the support of domestic movies in recent years.
On the afternoon of December 6, Qilin Studio received the box office data on the first day of the premiere.
Including the midnight show on the 4th, the total box office revenue was 13 million.
The attendance rate on Saturdays and Sundays soared, and the box office also rose accordingly. The first weekend box office reached 65 million.
In contrast, "Mei Lanfang" had a box office of 46 million in its first weekend.
The two do not compete directly, and even because of the binding promotion, the market has become larger to some extent, even more than in the previous life.
But the box office data of "Police Incident" still exceeded everyone's expectations, including Chen Linfeng.
His initial goal was to break 100 million.
However, the continuous promotional videos have raised expectations and the constant hot topics are equivalent to the continuous replay of the news that "Police Incident" will be released in the ears of the audience.
Coupled with large-scale screenings, a method that no one paid much attention to before, the reputation of the movie has been greatly improved.
Chen Linfeng himself has too many fan groups and has his own box office appeal.
Even if he didn’t appear in this movie.
Of course, the crimes committed by domestic directors in the past few years have also helped to increase the evaluation of movies.
Together, these multiple factors are like a powerful pill, giving a boost to the box office growth.
As for Chen Linfeng's work this time, it is not large in scale, the actors are not particularly famous, and it does not have a blockbuster effect.
In addition, after all, click screening is more likely to cause piracy to appear earlier, although the audience's concept of authenticity has become slightly better now.
After all, those born in the 1980s have gradually entered society.
Because of the negative factors, the box office performance is only at the level of blockbusters produced by previous great directors.
Otherwise, it will break the record if it is not good.
Of course, in his opinion, this is not a bad thing. If he keeps good reputation, he will release it next time.
Besides, the box office this time has really exceeded expectations.
The film and television media are more sensitive to this opening weekend box office number.
Although the first weekend box office of "Red Cliff" was higher than that of "Police", the subsequent trend was not as good.
According to theater predictions, the final box office results may be very close.
They immediately became excited. The box office champion in the first half of this year was "Red Cliff", and the final predicted results of the two were close.
Could it be said?
Wu Yusen spent tens of millions of dollars filming "Red Cliff".
Xiao Chen's "Police Incident", even if you don't look at the exchange rate, the numbers are lower than "Red Cliff".
Really compared to the cost, the difference is even greater. In terms of size, the two are not on the same level.
But now, it is a situation of rivalry.
While the media exaggerated the past grievances between Xiao Chen and Wu Yusen in their reports, they also continued to follow up on the box office performance of "Police Incident".
As for director Da Chen, who was mentioned at the same time as director Xiao Chen, and "Mei Lanfang", which was released at the same time.
Who is that?
Now, during this period of time, there is only one Director Chen.
In fact, "Mei Lanfang" is not bad, but it is nearly 20 million less.
But in marketing events, a higher ranking makes a big difference.
Not to mention Xiao Chen, oh, no, this will be the past grudge between Director Chen and Director Wu Yusen.
Now is the moment of grudge game.
As the weekend passed, attendance dropped.
However, after the crazy promotion by the media at the weekend box office, many people have heard the relevant news.
In addition, I have heard a lot about the early promotion of "Police Incident" before.
Many people are wondering whether they should watch this movie. I heard it is really good.
It dropped back to more than 10 million (1600) on Monday, but it was still more than Friday. This is a good trend.
Subsequently, the box office continued to decline, of course, but the degree of decline was significantly lower than that of most movies.
December 12th is another Friday. There are no important movies to be released in this period. It is completely reserved for "Mei Lanfang" and "Police Incident" to eat at the box office.
But now, "Police Incident" eats more.
At the same time, the box office data for the week also came out.
180 million!
It has almost caught up with the first week box office of "Red Cliff".
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the outcome of this match is almost confirmed.
"Police Incident" still has a good reputation up to now.
And now there is still a whole week left for him to run unscrupulously and have no opponent at all.
Oh, "Mei Lanfang" directed by Chen Kaige has been ignored again.
Director Chen's film obviously lacks stamina this time, although it was very popular during joint marketing.
But after the first weekend, it failed to maintain its box office trend.
Chen Kaige regretted it all the time, feeling that Xiao Chen had robbed him of his box office share.
It shouldn't be released at the same time as him. "Ip Man" should come back.
In fact, the current performance of "Mei Lanfang", with a first-week box office of 80 million, is already much better than in its previous life.
The early publicity was still effective.
But "Mei Lanfang" is still obviously going to lose money.
The cost is hundreds of millions. According to predictions, the final box office may only be tens of millions more than the cost. It is still a loss and a profit.
In comparison, Chen Linfeng's "Police Incident" seems a bit scary.
This is an enlarged version of "Crazy Stone".
With a box office of 40 million, the cost was recovered in 5 days, and the rest is pure profit.
Not only that, several actors in the movie, Jiang Wu and Wang Qianyuan, became popular through this.
Wang Baoqiang and Shi Xiaolong, who were already very popular, once again proved their strength.
Even some of the actors who played gangster villains became popular because of it.
Same as the original "Stone", it is a big win.
