Chapter 187 The response was good
Jiang Wenli, Zhou Xun and others strongly suspected that the second half of the movie was more philosophical, and there was a high probability that Wang Shu had an "artistic" disease in his body.
When making commercial films, art film directors always want to add something "artistic" to the commercial films.
Wang Shu is very likely, and the same is true.
This is a common problem among mainland directors.
In comparison, commercial films directed by directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan are "more commercial."
A movie ended with many people in the industry watching it attentively.
After reading it, many people were still unsatisfied.
They also feel that the commercial films directed by Wang Shu are different from those directed by other domestic directors.
Although it is also a movie,... the films directed by other directors are basically old wine in new bottles, and they have always been stuck in their ways.
Although the resulting video is pretty good, it lacks a wow factor.
Wang Shu’s "Time and Space Traveler" is regarded as stunning in China.
It is undeniable that there are not many similar movies in Hollywood and foreign markets.
But in the country, it has never happened.
“Times have changed!”
Some people couldn't help but sigh.
One "Buried Alive", one "The Tuner", plus this "Time Traveler", they are all amazing works.
Who would have thought that a coffin could be used to film "Buried Alive"!
This stunning work stands out among the countless domestic art films with poorly made themes such as suffering, era, taboos, etc.
To this day, those directors are still filming these themes.
There has always been a lack of innovation and no innovation.
Although Wang Shu's "The Tuner" is a suspense film, the number of twists and turns is staggering.
in the country, no director has produced such a work.
Today's "Time Traveler" is even more about time travel.
The movie is as novel as Hollywood.
On the other hand, many domestic directors are still speculating.
"After this movie, Zhang, Feng and others should not be able to laugh anymore, right?" someone sarcastically said.
Before this, no matter how much Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang tried to make things worse, they were always praised by a lot of people in the domestic environment where everyone was trying to make things worse.
Whenever a Hollywood blockbuster enters the market, Qi Tong pretends to be dead.
Then he continued to stir up speculation and continued to be highly praised.
Times have changed now.
Wang Shu entered the pond like a catfish.
If you don’t think about change, it will be different.
Many people in the industry who have watched "Time Traveler" know this in their hearts.
What if Wang Shu, like directors such as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, makes movies with over-the-top themes?
Then, given the status of Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and others in the country, they will surely sit in high positions.
However, Wang Shu is not such a director.
And it has already caused waves in the domestic film field.
"Zhang Yimou's "A City of Golden Armor" and Feng Xiaogang's "The Banquet", although both have strong casts, are still films based on historical backgrounds in the final analysis."
"Movies with this theme are all bad in China."
"Compared with movies with themes like "Lovers in Time and Space", it's far behind."
"Not to mention that Wang Shu's "Lovers in Time and Space" itself is an excellent movie, but Wang Shu Those who dare to write and make innovative movies are already one dimension above them."
There are many media workers in the movie-watching group, and they are all thinking about how to write articles.
The purpose of inviting them to watch the movie is to promote the movie.
Actually, "Time Traveler" is not a very novel movie.
And, although it has time-travel elements, it is not a science fiction film.
It’s just a movie with a pretty good setting.
Yes. Even if "Space Traveler" is just an ordinary movie, in the current Chinese film industry, it is a truly amazing work.
In the final analysis, domestic directors or producers are still not up to par.
Hollywood in the United States is right there, and the films it produces are not invisible.
Under these conditions, no one will copy it mechanically.
Hong Kong Island director Wang Jin said bluntly in an interview that the rise of Hong Kong films was entirely due to the unsatisfactory performance of the film industry on the island.
The film market on Hong Kong Island is located on Treasure Island, and most films are mainly shot for audiences on Treasure Island.
If the film circle in Baodao was successful, there would be no rise and prosperity of the film circle in Hong Kong Island.
Why are these words not true in China?
The mainland is a big market of more than one billion people
If the mainland film and television industry succeeds.
In the field of TV dramas, Hong Kong dramas will not be rampant in the mainland, and after Hong Kong dramas withdraw from the stage, there will be no Taiwanese puppet dramas. The rampage in the Mainland will not be followed by Korean dramas until the Taiwanese puppet dramas are off the stage.
In the future, there will be no more European and American dramas running rampant in the mainland.
In the field of movies, there will be no Hong Kong movies that will kill everyone, nor will there be Hollywood movies that enter the mainland. Many filmmakers hide their tails between their legs to avoid their advantages.
If it is the time that has caused this, there is no way around it.
Ke.
Even in an era when flowers were blooming, most film and television works produced in China were not as good as today's era.
Wang Shu was not in the theater where Zhou Xun, Yang Mi and others were at this moment. Instead, he appeared in another theater in the studio with Sun Li, Liu Yan and other creative staff.
There are many ordinary viewers here, as well as some media workers.
The main creative staff appeared in response to the voices of the audience after the movie, and then each told some interesting stories during the filming of "Space Traveler" and answered some questions raised by the audience.
After interacting with the audience, they all left early.
This is a normal operation at a premiere. The main creative staff will appear in the theater in various ways to interact with the audience after the movie is over.
Sun Li followed Wang Shu and couldn't help but said excitedly: "Director Wang, have you seen it? The audience's response is very good, the movie will definitely be a hit!"
Wang Shu looked back at Sun Li's excited look, smiled and said, "I saw it."
After finishing speaking, he then said steadily, "However, it's not too early to be happy yet."
"The movie only had a limited number of screenings in Beijing. Maybe these audiences just like this movie. Movie."
"It's hard to say if it expands to the whole country."
"We'll probably have a good idea after we go to places like Shanghai, Chengdu, and Chengdu."
The premiere of "Space Traveler" was not only held in the capital. In order to better promote the film, Feng Xiaogang and the creative staff have traveled to many places to promote the film, just like "The Banquet".
Of course, premieres in other cities would not have as many crew members as today.
At that time, Wang Shu will only run around with Sun Li, Liu Yan and other creative staff. Sun Li looked into Wang Shu's eyes and said confidently: "When we go to Shanghai, Chengdu and other places, the local audience will definitely respond well like today."
Liu Yan was right next to her, and she couldn't hold back her excitement and interrupted: "I think so too!"
She is a newcomer, and the more "Time and Space Traveler" becomes a hit at the box office, the harder it is for her. The more advantageous it is.
Although the salary for starring in "Space Traveler" is fixed, the hidden benefits thereafter will definitely be considerable.
Sun Li looked at Liu Yan, both of them were very happy.
She is the same as Liu Yan. The more popular "Space Traveler" becomes, the more benefits she will gain.
Not only will her remuneration for future film roles increase as a result, but many people will come to her to offer her film roles, endorsements, etc.
“Seeing you are so confident makes me even more confident.” Seeing the excitement of the two of them, Wang Shu had no choice but to respond.
Since it was already late and they were going to the Magic City early tomorrow morning, the three of them just chatted all the way and went home after walking out of the theater.
Sitting in the taxi on the way back, Wang Shu once again wanted to get a driver's license and buy a car.
Before, I was delayed because I was busy with something.
Now he is determined to sign up for a driver's license test and then buy a car after returning to the capital after attending premieres in several major cities.
He is not worried about whether he can pass the driver's license test.
After all, it’s not like he can’t drive, and it’s not like he doesn’t understand traffic rules.
After a while, I returned home.
He previously wanted to get a driver's license and buy a car, but now he wants to buy a house.
“If you want to buy a house, you have to wait until next year at least to have sufficient funds.”
Wang Shu finally suppressed his inner desire to buy a house.
Right now, several brands are still in their infancy and spending money everywhere.
In addition, many film and television projects are currently in production and are far from being profitable.
Funds have never been very abundant, so I can only slow down the idea of buying a house.
Of course, if he just buys a high-rise commercial building in a community, he can easily buy it with his current financial resources.
It’s just that he wants to buy a villa.
Moreover, it is a villa with a good location.
It also requires a lot of money.
After washing up, I went back to the room and lay on the bed and looked at my phone and found several missed calls and some text messages.
The text messages were sent by Yang Mi, Qin Hailu, Yan Danchen and others. They basically said that "Space Traveler" was very good and expressed their affirmation of the movie to Wang Shu.
Wang Shu did not reply for the time being, but took the lead in making the missed call, planning to wait until he had finished this before replying to the text message.
"Hello." The phone was connected and Zhou Xun's distinctive voice sounded.
"I was taking a shower just now. I left my phone in the room and didn't hear it." Wang Shu explained.
"Oh." Zhou Xun responded, and then said: "The movie is very good, and the box office will definitely not be low."
Wang Shu heard this and asked with a smile: " How does it compare to "The Night Banquet"? "
Zhou Xun plays the second female lead in "The Night Banquet", supporting Zhang Ziyi.
"Well," Zhou Xun was amused at what he said, and then smiled, "They are all very good movies, whether it is Director Feng's "The Night Banquet" or your "Time Traveler," they are all good."
< br>"Haha." Wang Shu laughed twice, and then said: "What if you were asked to compete in these two movies?"
After hearing this, Zhou Xun said angrily. : ""The Night Banquet" is a movie based on a historical theme, and your "Time Traveler" is not."
"How can there be any comparison between two different movies?"
Wang Shu knew in her heart that Zhou Xun was lying. She was just ensuring that neither party would be offended, so she said again: "It doesn't matter what the topic is, just talk about these two movies, which one you think is better."
< br>
"Does that need to be said? Of course it's "The Night Banquet". I'm the second female lead in it, how can I not look good?" Zhou Xun couldn't help but said quietly when he saw Wang Shu deliberately asking this question.
"Haha." Wang Shu smiled and responded, "Yes, you are indeed good-looking."
When Zhou Xun heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he hummed: "What? You call me good-looking? I mean "The Night Banquet" is good-looking!"
"Yes!" Wang Shu pretended to be confused, "I said you are good-looking."
After hearing this, Zhou Xun curled his lips with a smile, and then hummed: "Okay, I won't tell you any more. I know you have a lot to do tomorrow, so go to bed early."
"You should also go to bed early." Wang Shu said with a smile.
"Good night." Zhou Xun said softly.
"Good night." Wang Shu replied.
Hang up the phone with Zhou Xun, Wang Shu immediately dialed Mei Ting’s number.
"I was taking a shower just now. I put my phone on the bed and didn't hear it." Wang Shuji repeated what he said to Zhou Xun.
"Oh, I guess you are taking a shower or something." Mei Ting said with a smile.
Obviously, she was only half right.
Because after Wang Shu took a shower, he was on the phone with Zhou Xun.
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
The purpose of Mei Ting's call was the same as that of Zhou Xun, which was to express her approval of the movie "Space Traveler" in person.
Wang Shu, then called Yan Danchen.
“I was taking a shower just now, and I was washing clothes after the shower. I put my phone on the bed in the room and didn’t hear it.” Wang Shu said.
Due to the phone call with Zhou Xun and Mei Ting, a lot of time has been spent. At this time, it can no longer be just for the simple reason of taking a shower.
The time is not right, so we have to continue to increase the amount.
"Oh." Yan Danchen responded and said with an apologetic tone: "I called you just to say that the movie was very good. I didn't delay you so late, right?"
"It's okay." Wang Shu responded with a smile, "I just returned to the room and got ready to sleep."
Hearing this, Yan Danchen breathed a sigh of relief, and then chatted with Wang Shu for a while. sentence, and then said softly: "You still have work to do, so I won't disturb you. Go to bed early."
"Go to bed early too." After hearing this, Wang Shu replied with the same concern. One sentence.
After finishing the conversation with Yan Danchen, Wang Shu then called Fan Binbin.
“I was taking a shower just now. After the shower, I was doing laundry, mopping the floor and other household chores. My phone was placed on the bed in the room. I only saw it when I returned to the room to prepare for bed.”
In order to ensure the rationality of the time, Wang Shu could only continue to increase the amount.
"Is there no one else in your family?" Fan Binbin asked softly with a thought in his heart.
"I live alone and there is no washing machine at home. Clothes need to be washed by hand, which is relatively troublesome." Wang Shu answered while explaining.
“That’s right,” Fan Binbin responded, and then added, “That’s indeed a lot of trouble.”
