Chapter 152 Zhang Chen’s prediction
Guests arrived one after another:
Poet Chen and his wife, Wang Shuo and Xu Jinglei, Han Sanping...
Liu Tianwang and Chen Guofu He also stood at the door to greet the friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan he invited~
A lot of celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan came. The Hong Kong circle did a good job in this area, especially when it came to the mainland, they were very united.
Zhang Chen said hello to Wang Shuo and Xu Cainv. These two people had helped during the scolding battle, so Zhang Chen definitely wanted to express his gratitude.
"Hey, don't worry about those bastards, they are just a bunch of guys who occupy the latrine and don't shit, and I have a grudge against them..."
Wang Shuo's language is still sharp. , there is no shame in commenting.
Xu Cainnu next to her was a lot gentler: "We are all our own people, so we should help each other."
Huh? Am I now my own person?
Zhang Chen was a little confused about the Beijing circle's attitude toward him, and felt a little distant.
In fact, there are two types of attitudes towards Zhang Chen within the Beijing circle. One kind thinks that Zhang Chen should be accepted, and the other kind thinks that he needs to observe and observe~
Poet Chen is relatively far away. The other party had no intention of getting to know Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen didn't have the habit of flattering others.
On the other hand, we saw a lot of familiar faces in Hong Kong. We had met them at the Golden Horse Awards a few days ago, although they may not have spoken to each other.
Zhang Chen glanced around, and sure enough, no one from the northwest circle was invited.
The Northwest Circle is also known as the ‘Award Circle’.
There are many great directors and many international awards.
Generally speaking, the base area in the Beijing circle is in the field of TV dramas, while the northwest circle is in the field of movies.
Most of the good awards have been won by them.
I’m afraid this is why Beijing circles hate them so much.
Seeing that there was still some time, Zhang Chen went to Han Sanping to say hello, and then saw Fan Jiuyi coming over after changing clothes, so he chatted with her for a while.
Female stars are very troublesome. The outfits they wear on the red carpet and the premieres are not the same.
Those dresses, apart from looking good, are useless and very inconvenient, so you need to change clothes as soon as you come in.
Jiuyi sister changed into a slim-fitting fishtail skirt at this time, with a smile on her face. The media had already entered the scene and started shooting. Sister Jiuyi managed her expression very well.
But the words that came out of his mouth didn’t match at all.
"When did you hook up with Li Lianhua?"
"Don't say it so harshly, she and I have nothing to do with each other."
"Hmph, she is not a good person. , she tricked me just now. I originally wanted to walk on the red carpet with you, but she asked her sister to block me in the car. With so many tricks, can you beat her? "
Zhang Chenxin? He said, "You have a lot of evil intentions. I can't play with either of you."
At this time, Chen Guofu brought the milk tea girl over to say hello: "Director Zhang, Binbin, let me introduce to you. This is Liu Ruoying, my girlfriend. Please take good care of me in the future..."
< br>
Zhang Chen hurriedly said: "That's for sure, Ms. Liu, nice to meet you~"
Fan Jiuyi also affectionately held Liu Milk Tea's arm and praised you for being so beautiful today.
After a few words of greeting, the two left. Fan Binbin immediately fell out, "He's just a bitch..."
Huh? You were obviously very affectionate with someone just now, but you turned around and turned around so viciously. How did you do that?
Fan Jiuyi didn't take it seriously: "If she hadn't hooked up with Chen Guofu, how could she be the female lead in "A World Without Thieves" just because of her looks?"
Sister Jiuyi despised Liu Milk Tea.
Indeed, Milk Tea’s appearance is not considered good-looking among ordinary people, let alone the entertainment industry where there are so many beauties.
It is said that when she first entered the industry, even her family members questioned her, saying that you would definitely not be able to make it in the entertainment industry with your looks.
I didn’t expect that they would actually get out.
No matter what method is used, he is the number one person anyway.
Well, a role model for inspirational women in the new era.
But it’s no wonder that Fan Jiuyi doesn’t like her. Her looks are not good enough, her acting skills are not good, and she has no characteristics.
In Fan Jiuyi's view, if the heroine of "A World Without Thieves" loses to Li Lianhua, although she will not be reconciled, she can at least accept it. After all, they are about the same strength.
Losing to Liu Milk Tea was a great shame and humiliation.
Zhang Chen also thinks Liu Milk Tea is quite average. Just a scene of eating roast duck has been repeatedly used to brag about it. What's there to brag about?
In "Pink Girl", which is famous for, Liu Milk Tea is obviously the protagonist, but she is turned into a scum by the second female lead Chen Hao, and it is impossible to save it at the textbook level.
After watching "Pink Lady", who remembers the marriage madness, all the aura is charming.
In comparison, Chen Guofu is more powerful.
This man actually looks a bit like Feng Xiaogang.
Neither of them had any exposure to orthodox film theory knowledge.
Chen Guofu started out as a film critic, then fiddled around as a screenwriter, planner, director, and producer, and finally became the production director of Columbia Asia.
Novel protagonist template.
Feng Xiaogang was originally an artist in an art factory, but accidentally entered the field of TV dramas. He followed the people in the Beijing circle to tinker with TV dramas, and then he slowly grew up.
But it is precisely because he has not been exposed to orthodox theoretical knowledge that he is lacking in artistic accomplishment.
Even though he always wanted to prove himself in the future, he just couldn't do it. To put it bluntly, he just couldn't show off.
Art is about showing off.
Look at Wang Sunjing’s movies, each of the lines is more ridiculous than the last. In future generations, people will be scolded, but at this stage, people just accept this trick.
It’s almost time for the others to arrive, and the premiere begins.
I don’t know if I followed the example of "Shark Beach", but also chose to show the complete movie at the premiere of "A World Without Thieves", probably because I am very confident in the quality of the movie.
"Ah, which one of you is a thief? Come forward and let me see..."
"I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch..."
"What is most important in the 21st century? Talent!
"Uncle Li was very angry, and the consequences were serious. ""
"The hearts of the people are scattered, and it is difficult to lead the team..."
"My feet drag on the ground..."
As in previous Feng's comedies, there are frequent golden sentences.
Different from previous Feng's comedies, this is obviously a transformational work by Feng Xiaogang.
Probably because he wanted to imitate Zhang Yimou, Feng also wanted to make a blockbuster movie, so he hired a Hong Kong star.
But this is actually not a blockbuster, because there are only big stars, but no big scenes. But that doesn't stop it from being a good movie.
The story of "A World Without Thieves" is actually very simple:
The migrant worker Shagen earned money and took the cash to go home for the New Year.
Then he was worried about the thief.
A thieving couple who wanted to wash their hands in a golden basin wanted to accumulate merit for the baby in their belly, so they decided to do a good deed before washing their hands.
Then the two sides came to blows.
One side wants to protect, the other wants to steal.
The final result is that the thieves and the couple are defeated, and they do good deeds and get themselves involved.
The ending must be bright. Uncle Li’s gang is arrested, otherwise they will not be able to pass the trial.
"A World Without Thieves" is adapted from a novel of the same name published in 1999. The prototype of the story is "Huang Laizi", the king of thieves who was known as "the best thief in the world" at that time.
Look, this nickname is two out of many.
But it's true.
The social atmosphere at that time was deeply influenced by martial arts.
Huang Laizi’s criminal gang of thefts operated on the left bank of 36 trains in 13 railway bureaus, involving more than 30 counties in 7 provinces and 3 cities. It was very rampant and even escaped from the police’s eyes several times.
In the end, it took police forces from 17 provinces to capture him.
It was actually quite difficult for this movie to be released, as it was stillborn several times.
Because in the entire film, apart from Sha Gen, there is no good person on either side of the film.
According to the film censorship system, the bad guys must eventually get the punishment they deserve. How to do this?
The script is said to have been revised several times during the filing stage.
It is said that Ge You recommended this novel to Feng Xiaogang after reading it. Everyone thought it was a good story, but not easy to shoot.
Feng Xiaogang is equivalent to dancing with shackles.
But in the end, the quality of the film was very high, and Feng Xiaogang danced well.
And he controls the overall rhythm very well. He makes you laugh when you should laugh and cry when you should cry.
The actors are also good, Liu Tianwang, Ge You, Zhang Hanyu...
Except Liu Milk Tea.
Even the supporting roles are Feng Yuanzheng and Fan Wei.
After the movie was screened, everyone applauded, and the creative team came on stage to tell stories...
Yes, it is telling stories~
Interesting things during the filming, it was not easy to shoot, and the performances were so superb...
Then came the interactive session.
The people who were asked must all be complimenting each other, following a fixed movie promotion routine, with everyone carrying the sedan chair.
Then I asked Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen decided to talk about something practical.
“I think this movie is the best of all Director Feng’s works.”
Zhang Chen spoke highly of it as soon as it came out.
“Why do you say that?”
The host asked, and Feng Xiaogang also showed great interest.
"First of all, green screen synthesis technology was used in the movie. This should be the largest use of green screen in the history of Chinese films.
Secondly, it can be seen that this is a transformational work by Director Feng.
Everyone said in the past that Director Feng's films could not cross the Yangtze River, and such problems did exist in previous works.
But this "A World Without Thieves" is different. It not only invited a Hong Kong team, but also The jokes were also carefully prepared, and there was no problem with the geographical recognition of the north and the south. "
The guests did not expect Zhang Chen to be so bold.
It is a joke in the industry that Feng's comedy cannot cross the Yangtze River, but no one dares to say it in front of Feng Xiaogang.
Zhang Chen continued: "Each character has its own characteristics.
Everyone noticed that after watching this movie, it is different from other movies.
< br>In ordinary movies, we can only remember the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and at most there is a villain.
But in "A World Without Thieves", all the supporting characters are very eye-catching.
Sha Gen, Xiao Ye, the police...
Especially Sha Gen, his acting is so good, I think this actor will definitely become popular in the future. "
Shagen's favorability +1
"There are also two teachers who play silly thieves, who bring a sense of joy when they appear.
IC, IP, IQ card, tell me your password~”
After saying this, everyone immediately laughed, even the main creators on the stage also laughed.
"In addition, the role of Uncle Li is different from the role played by Uncle Ge in all previous Feng's comedies. I still can't figure out how you combine insidiousness, scheming and humor. It’s so natural.”
After saying this, everyone laughed again, and Ge You on the stage put his hands together to express his gratitude.
“Now let’s praise Director Feng again...”
Hearing Zhang Chen want to praise himself, Feng Xiaogang laughed out loud. He also wanted to hear about Zhang Chen, a billionaire director. How do you praise yourself?
“In my opinion, the most successful part of this movie is the reasonable distribution of commercial elements.
Different from the ordinary confrontation between good and evil, the protagonists in this movie, Wang Bo and his wife, are thieves themselves. It's very gimmicky.
Secondly, the operation of peeling the eggs with bare hands is amazing.
The character of the King of Thieves instantly stands up.
The dancing is also very nice.
I don’t know how you came up with the idea of combining fighting and dancing, and the sense of sophistication suddenly appeared.
In addition, Director Feng uses golden sentences to adjust the atmosphere from time to time. Director Feng has completely understood where to laugh, where to cry, and where to be touched. I think this film will definitely be a box office hit. It won't be low..."
Speaking of the box office, the host simply asked: "What does director Zhang think the box office of "A World Without Thieves" will be? "
Zhang Chen thought for a moment: "Over 100 million is definitely no problem. If the promotion is done well, it might be able to break the record of "Shark Beach". ”
