Chapter 753: When did I say I missed it
At 3 pm, there was a crowd outside Wanda Cinema in Beijing.
After many invited celebrities from the industry arrived, some ordinary spectators who were lucky enough to get tickets lined up to enter the venue under the arrangement of the staff.
[Manslaughter] is led by [Wei Tianxia] and jointly released by Enlight, Wanda, and Taopiaopiao. The premiere ceremony was naturally held at Wanda's venue.
Everyone is seated. As the host, Liu Yan, who is wearing a black slim-fitting dress, takes the stage. She has fair skin and beautiful appearance. Her plump bust highlights her proud career line, and her figure is particularly attractive.
"Welcome everyone to attend the premiere of the movie [Manslaughter] today.
I believe everyone here should have watched the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" last summer.
Wen Mu also Director, producer Gu Wei, starring Xiao Yang, the main creators have created a wonderful and touching movie for all audiences across the country.
Now, after more than a year, the three have collaborated again. Putting "Manslaughter" on the big screen, what a good-looking movie it will be this time, I believe everyone is looking forward to it.
Let us invite the creative team of "Manslaughter": Wen Muye. Director, producer Gu Wei, starring Xiao Yang, Tan Zhuo."
After an opening sequence, Liu Yan invited the main creators of "Manslaughter" to the stage amid everyone's applause.
Subsequently, as the host, she took turns asking some questions about the movie to several of the main creators on the stage. These were basically what the media present today wanted to ask.
“I got the script of [Manslaughter] at the beginning of last year.
At that time, [I’m Not a Medicine God] had already been filmed and post-processed, and I was just waiting for a suitable release date. .
I originally planned to take a break, because the two movies "Love God" and "The God of Medicine" were filmed back-to-back, and I was quite tired at the time.
At this time, Mr. Gu showed me the script of [Manslaughter], and I fell in love with this story immediately.
This is really a very good script, and later on I didn’t even bother to take a break and devoted myself wholeheartedly to the new drama." Wen Mu also spoke first and told everyone the reasons for filming "Manslaughter" .
Gu Wei smiled and took the microphone: "I like the theme of [Manslaughter] very much, 'What do you do when your family is hurt? '
I had planned to do this project a few years ago. After the script came out, I was also thinking about who should direct it. Obviously no one is more suitable than the literary director. [I am not the god of medicine] This is the best proof."
After the two of them finished speaking, the topic turned to the actors.
Xiao Yang lost weight when he was not filming, and his whole person became much more refreshing, without the middle-aged greasiness on the screen.
“Playing a father this time, I have personally experienced the responsibility, responsibility and wisdom that a father should have. Only by growing up better can we better protect our family.”
Tan This is the second time that Zhuo has collaborated with Wen Mu and Xiao Yang. She feels that she is very lucky to have been cast in "Wei Tian Xia", especially since the quality of both movies is so high, so when filming Always working hard.
“The mother role in the movie is quite difficult to play. There are many layers in her eyes.
Fortunately, the director helped me, and Xiao Yang was by my side and helped me a lot.
Because we play a husband and wife, many scenes are completed by two people together.
I feel like the cooperation is more tacit this time than in "The God of Medicine""
Chen Chong and Zhang Songwen played the female inspector general and her mayoral candidate husband in "Manslaughter". They are the second female lead and the second male lead, and they are also the two villains in the movie.
"I have never played a role like La Yun before. It is difficult but also very enjoyable," Chen Chong said with a smile. Finally, Zhang Songwen also talked about some of his thoughts on the filming.
In general, "Manslaughter" can be regarded as a full-scale acting performance. Although the script is not as good as "I am not a medicine god", the shooting effect is absolutely excellent.
After a while, the topic turned back to the director and producer.
“I hope that [Manslaughter] will not just stay as a general genre film, but can become a film with both commercial and social responsibility significance, which can be further sublimated and deliver a different viewing experience to the audience. "
Wen Mu also expressed his expectations for the movie. Gu Wei concluded: "There are many news about school violence and various minor crimes in China. I am touched every time I see these things. .
My other movie "Young You" some time ago is about school bullying and juvenile crime. The ultimate goal is to prevent these bad things from happening and better protect minors. People.
The same goes for today’s [Manslaughter]. I hope to convey something to the general audience through this movie, so that everyone can reflect more, protect their children more, and restrain themselves. behavior.”
After the main creators finished their speeches and entered the movie screening, the lights in the theater dimmed.
The familiar animated logo of [Wei Tianxia] appeared on the big screen. Since Gu Wei became popular, this animated logo has often appeared at the beginning of some popular movies, and today's audiences are very familiar with it.
The opening scene ends, and the camera appears in a prison in Thailand. Xiao Yang is wearing a prison uniform and is planning something furtively.
The plot of [Manslaughter] mainly revolves around a mistake. The murder case proceeds.
The male protagonist Li Weijie lives in a small town in Thailand. He has a gentle wife and two lovely daughters, and his family of four lives a stable life.
However, something suddenly happened that broke the calm. His eldest daughter Pingping was raped by Sucha, the son of the inspector general La Yun. Pingping accidentally killed the other party during the resistance.
Li Weijie once witnessed the Inspector-General's abuse of lynching and knew that the law was useless. In order to protect his daughter and family, he chose to bury the body to cover up all evidence.
The inspector general La Yun, whose son died, became suspicious of Li Weijie because of various details, and determined that he was the murderer of his son, and decided to find evidence at all costs.
The main content of the movie is the process of Li Weijie covering up the fact of the murder through various ingenious methods and battling wits with the police.
[Manslaughter] It can be said that there is no peeing throughout the whole process. Li Weijie and La Yun worked together to contribute an unforgettable high-IQ game to the audience.
All the leading actors demonstrated hair-raising acting skills.
During the two-hour movie playing, the entire theater was completely silent, and all the audience were immersed in the plot of the movie.
At the end of the movie, it was Li Weijie who was superior and completely acquitted. At the same time, he also encouraged public opinion so that La Yun's husband was disqualified from running for mayor, and La Yun was also suspended from office.
It can be said that we finally won this unfair game.
But when everything was settled, Li Weijie’s forged transcript changed his mind. He told the truth to La Yun and his wife, and finally decided to surrender
The Indian version does not include the section about surrender, but in mainland China, surrender is a must in order to pass trial. After all, "criminals" cannot escape the punishment of the law.
The movie ended, the subtitles rolled on the big screen, the lights in the theater came on, and deafening applause erupted from the audience.
Afterwards, the main creator came on stage, and the celebrities present also stood up and talked about their thoughts about watching the movie.
Xu Zheng: "Very pleasantly surprised. From the plot to the emotions, it is very full. There are many details in it and it is worth watching again.
I hope that Chinese high-intelligence crime movies can start with "Manslaughter" and stab Breaking the box office ceiling and becoming a hit, leading this type of film to a new era."
Deng Chao: "I was very moved, excited, and shocked after watching it. It was really a good enjoyment, especially the role of the movie was expressed very well. It was the first time to see movie elements used in the story. It was very interesting.
I believe that many viewers will enjoy this film when they go to the theater. From this film, they can feel the ugliness and struggle of human nature, and the performance is very good."
Wang Baoqiang: "This is my first time working with Xiao Yang. I believe everyone was very impressed by his role as policeman Kuntai in "Detective Chinatown" filmed by Director Gu.
I didn't expect that Xiao Yang's acting skills have become more and more sophisticated in recent years, and he has brought so much to everyone. An impressive role.
The performance in "Manslaughter" is also very good, and it is completely different from the previous roles such as Kun Tai and Cheng Yong.
Brother, you are awesome! "
Wang Baoqiang in the audience stood up and praised loudly, and the audience burst into laughter. Xiao Yang on the stage put his hands together with a smile on his face to express his gratitude.
"Mr. Gu felt that [manslaughter] How much box office can there be? "
The premiere ceremony went very smoothly. After seeing off some celebrity friends who came to support us, Wen Mu also stood next to Gu Wei and asked. "1.5 billion is the base. If it goes well, it should be okay if it exceeds 2 billion." Question."
Gu Wei's other friends with a smile on their faces waved goodbye and expressed their judgments in an understatement.
“So high?” Wen Mu was also a little surprised.
Although the last movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" had such a high box office, Wen Mu also knew in his heart that a movie like "The God of Medicine" that can reflect the current social situation and resonate with the audience will not be available for many years. There will definitely be one.
[Manslaughter] The subject matter of this kind of suspense crime is inherently limited. The audience is relatively small and it is easy to get high ratings, but the box office limit is also lower.
For example, Huang Bo’s [Memory Master], Liao Fan’s [Day Fireworks], Deng Chao’s [Scorching Sun] and so on.
The reviews are quite good, but the box office is mediocre.
“What, the director doesn’t have confidence in his film?
You also saw the audience’s reaction just now. Everyone recognized [Manslaughter] and liked it very much.” Gu Weizhuan He turned his head and looked at Wen Muye with a smile.
“Of course I hope the box office is as high as possible, but our subject matter is here.
If you ask me to make a comedy movie, the protagonist will still be Xiao Yang. I think as long as the script is good, I am very confident that I will break one billion, but [Manslaughter] is a crime suspense film after all, and it is relatively niche.”
"What's wrong with crime suspense movies? As long as the quality of the movie is good and the publicity can match it, it can achieve good results.
My movie "Young You" is still a drama about youth crime, and the box office is different. Breaking 2 billion!"
Wen Mu also smiled bitterly: "Mr. Gu, who can match your appeal?"
Gu Wei smiled and patted the literary director on the shoulder: " Don’t worry, I’m confident that the result of [Manslaughter] will be the same.
When will you see me and say you missed it?”
The Original Spacetime "Manslaughter" received a final box office of 1.333 billion. The director Ke Wenli is not famous, and the starring Xiao Yang has not been blessed by the "God of Medicine". It all relies on the fame of the producer Chen Sicheng and the excellent quality of the film itself. In the end, it won The highest box office performance during the Lunar New Year period.
Nowadays, the combination of Wen Mu and Xiao Yang is far more famous than the original version, and the traffic brought by the producer Gu Wei is much more than that of Chen Sicheng. [Manslaughter] Whether it is the quality of the film itself or the external publicity They are all plus versions of The Original Spacetime, and the box office scores of 15 and 20 are very reasonable.
“The promotion and roadshow of [Manslaughter] these days are going to be hard on the literary director.”
“It’s nothing. The process and route of the promotion and distribution are all arranged by the company. I will work with the main creator here. Just cooperate.
Mr. Gu, I have already booked the location of [Zhou Chu Three Harms] in Wanwan a few days ago, and [Zhou Chu]’s filming team has been arriving one after another recently.
When [Manslaughter]'s road show here is over, it will be officially launched there. "Wen Mu also mentioned the new movie that will be shot soon.
Gu Wei nodded and said nothing.
According to the time [Zhou Chu], filming will not start until the 20th of this month. , until after the Spring Festival.
But if there are no accidents, this time will actually be longer.
After the premiere, the popularity of [Manslaughter] skyrocketed.
Countless media influencers who attended the event posted articles and reviews online praising the movie.
Since the day of its premiere, "Manslaughter" has started screening events in theaters across the country. Many viewers who were lucky enough to have a preview have expressed their thoughts after watching the movie. An increasing number of people on the Internet have The good reviews aroused the curiosity of countless passers-by.
【Super good-looking, with ups and downs of the plot, and superb performances by the actors, I present to you a high-quality work that is both warm and topical! 】
[The plot is great, I was fascinated by it, and I will watch it again after it is released. This movie is definitely worth watching again and again]
[A very good suspense movie, it’s worth watching It's a domestically produced masterpiece, but the surrender part at the end is a little bit unpleasant, but that's understandable given our national conditions.
However, it echoes the prison break at the beginning, and it feels not that simple, a bit mysterious]
[The combination of Wen Muye and Xiao Yang did not disappoint. It is a pity that Gu Wei is only the producer and not Can I star in this movie】
【After the screening, I would like to share with you the movie "Manslaughter".
Watching it with a skeptical attitude, however, what surprised me was that this should be the most successful example of a domestic remake in recent years.
Although it is not comparable to "The God of Medicine", it is definitely a good movie worth watching! 】
On December 13, Friday, [Manslaughter] was officially released nationwide.
At the same time as it was released, there were five movies including "Caught by the Light", "Good Morning Princess", "Downton Abbey", "Golden Glory", and "Taste of Happy Island".
[Taste of Happy Island] is a Wanwan movie, [Downton Abbey] and [Golden Glory] are British and Indian movies respectively, and [Good Morning Princess] is Gu Wei's familiar old friend "Wang Qinian" Tian A youth inspirational film starring Yu, and Tian Yu plays the heroine's father.
These four films are obviously cannon fodder. Their themes, actors, and promotions are not good enough, and naturally there is not much in the film schedule.
Only two movies that really attracted attention in the second week of the Lunar New Year season are "Manslaughter" and the sci-fi romance film "The Man Caught by the Backlight" starring Huang Bo, Wang Luoshan and others.
[Manslaughter] was supported by the combination of Wen Muye and Xiao Yang, and Gu Wei was behind it. [The person captured by the backlight] was more pitiful, relying entirely on Huang Bo's fame and influence.
The guide for this film, Dong Runnian, is a well-known screenwriter in the industry. He has participated in screenwriting movies such as "The Invincible Ugly Girl", "The Cook, the Actor, the Ruffian", "The Love of the Heart", and "Crazy Alien". , and Huang Bo can be said to be old friends.
This time "The Man Abducted by Backlight" is his first independent directorial film.
Dong Runnian is also very brave in challenging the science fiction theme in his debut film.
However, "The Man Abducted by Backlight" is not so much science fiction as it is a romance film disguised as science fiction.
The so-called backlight capture is just a background setting thrown by the director to lead to the subsequent discussion of emotions.
A strange light descends on the city, and lovers are captured by the light in pairs, but you are abandoned by the light. Under the witness of God, you torture your heart, torture your love, and torture your humanity.
If it is really like watching a science fiction movie, this movie will make you very disappointed. It would be much better if it is simply regarded as a romance movie that discusses emotional issues.
[Manslaughter] on its first day of release, it achieved a box office of 89.65 million with 35% of the national film schedule. At the same time, it undoubtedly won the national box office championship on that day.
The Man Abducted by Backlight, which was released on the same day, accounted for 28% of the national film schedule. Unfortunately, the box office was only 25.73 million, and the attendance rate was only 6%.
The next day, the film scheduling rate of "The Man Caught by Backlight" dropped significantly by 10 percentage points, and it continued to decline due to the sluggish box office.
In addition to these two movies, the ones that are currently on the market and have achieved certain box office results are the previously released [Jumanji 2], [The Party at Southern Station], [Frozen 2], [ Knives Out], as well as [Skyfire], [Downton Abbey], etc., which were just released this week.
There are a lot of movies being released, but their results are not ideal.
At the end of the first three days, the box office of [Manslaughter] exceeded 100 million on both weekends, with a total of 326 million.
It is undoubtedly the box office champion of this week, and is far ahead of the second place "Sky Fire" with 139 million.
After three days of release, the reputation of "Manslaughter" has been completely fermented. Taopiaopiao 9.3, Maoyan 9.5, Douban 7.8, Zhihu 9.0, 100% recommended by big V, with a double harvest of box office and word-of-mouth, it has truly ignited this year's Lunar New Year movie.
The industry predicts that the box office of [Manslaughter] will eventually exceed 1 billion.
For a crime suspense film, this would be a very outstanding result
