Chapter 435 Film Review, Schedule Setting, Premiere Preparations
Movies or TV series that adapt too much from the original work are always risky.
Just like Chen Jiashang's "Four Famous Catchers".
After five days of release, the box office reached 103 million, which is a very happy thing.
But at the same time, movie reviews from online audiences are also polarized.
"It is a rare martial arts movie. It is infinitely innovative based on the original work. Director Chen's imagination is simply unbridled, and the fighting scenes are also great!"
"The style is similar to "Xiu Chun Knife", but it has a unique style. My style is all excellent, I look forward to the second one..."
"Zhao Liying, who is new to the big screen, performed well and deserves recognition."
...
""Four Famous Catchers" looks lively, but in fact it is difficult to convince the audience. It has completely lost the 'core' of the original work and turned it into a Gulong style."
"Changing Qingqing into a woman and setting it as the core role is the biggest subversion of the original work. It is disgusting. I suggest everyone not to go to the theater..."
"Zhao Liying, a little-known actor, in one step Got it right and won the title role in the series! Is this a resource person? The entertainment industry is really unreasonable.” A normal movie review structure.
It's just that the evaluation of "Four Famous Catchers" is a bit too polarizing.
At this time, two other movies, "Searching" and "Wu-Tang" were released.
In terms of influence, "Wu-Tang" is the least conspicuous. After all, the other two movies have famous directors and large lineups.
“A great director has his own advantage, that is, after disappointing the audience again and again, he can still make them walk into the theater again with expectations.”
Lu Yang crossed his legs and sat In front of the computer, he said with a slightly teasing tone.
“You can just name director Chen Kaige. But the quality of his "Search" this time is indeed high, and there is no beginning or end."
Lin Nan walked out of the tea room and took over Lu Yang's words.
“I’m just summarizing, am I wrong?” Lu Yang smiled and spread his hands.
"Yes, this is indeed the advantage of a great director and the preference of the audience."
Lin Nan nodded and admitted. He also has this advantage and has maintained it well so far.
Although a small number of viewers find fault with his movies every time, this does not affect the overall situation.
As for film critics? He had ignored these guys who were looking for money a long time ago.
…………
Tiangong Color’s team has headed to Hengdian along with Chen Jiashang and others.
Guangguang posted a Weibo: ""The Big Four 2" officially launched in Hengdian today. We are looking forward to the box office results of the first film, which has successfully exceeded 200 million..."
No press conference , no visits were accepted in the early stage, and the filming of "Famous Catchers 2" started in such a low-key manner.
Shanhai Media has received more cooperation invitations, including drama appointments, advertisements, endorsements, commercial performances...
Most of these are from Zhao Liying, after all, the box office of movies with hundreds of millions of dollars There don’t seem to be many heroines.
In Yue Jun's words, "This little girl is already on the right track. As long as she doesn't make any mistakes and follows the steps, there will be no problem. Sooner or later, she will be on the front line."
…… ...
Just after hanging up the phone from Tom, Lin Nan received another call from Nortel, about what Tian Zhuangzhuang said.
The school hopes to have an interview with Lin Nan, which is full of lobbying.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Nan finally decided to listen to Tian Zhuangzhuang’s advice.
"I am honored to receive an invitation from my alma mater, but I feel that now is not the time... If there is a chance in a few years, I would like to go back..."
For Lin Nan, this half Regarding his answer, the person responsible for contacting him at the school was quite understanding and said he would convey it to the school leaders.
……
"Isn't it the time? How many years later?"
"Yes, Lin Nan said that. It doesn't seem like perfunctory, it should be Director Tian who did the work."
"Okay, okay. , then just register it first. Just let him go..."
……...
The release of "Search" and "Wu-Tang" formed an important part of "Four Famous Catchers". A substantial threat, the latter's daily box office dropped to around 10 million.
The former's first-day box office revenue was 14.5 million. The reviews online are almost all very good.
“After many years, director Chen Kaige has finally made a movie without any unfinished parts in the second half.”
“The story has a clear context, multi-line narrative without being messy, and the rhythm is smooth. , "Search" is very good!
But let's just pretend that the box office target is to exceed "The Fault in Our Stars", haha..."
"Very good. Miraculously, I actually saw the style of director Feng Xiaogang in this movie. Why is this? ”
""Search" is about cyber violence, which can't help but remind people of:
Is Director Chen accusing and seeking personal revenge for his own experience of cyber violence after the release of "The Promise"? ”
“Upstairs, “The Promise” deserves it!”
…………
In general, this “Search” has made Chen Kaige watch it for many years. Some of the accumulated negative reviews have been improved a lot.
Unlike "Search" and "Famous Catchers", "Wu-Tang" is a bit miserable.
Not long after the morning ended, negative reviews came out online.
“Was this kind of clichéd and unoriginal script written with toes? There is actually a director who would film it?”
“After ten minutes of watching it, you can I guessed the plot behind it. Sure enough, the treasure hunt and all that were just gimmicks, the hero and heroine must have a life-or-death love in the end!"
"I can't believe that the martial arts director is Yuan Kui. The punches are very physical, but many of the fighting scenes between Yang Mi and Zhao Wenzhuo look like they are dancing, acting coquettishly and being cute!”
...
Relying on Yang Mi’s large number of fans and previous publicity, the box office of "Wu-Tang" on the first day was 9.45 million. But it has to be said that the reputation of the movie has been on the decline.
“Many netizens are saying that she picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.”
Liu Yifei leaned in Lin Nan’s arms and pointed at the post on the computer screen.
Lin Nan also had a helpless look on his face, "It's good to have good memory."
Netizens were right, during that time Zeng Jia took on several dramas for Yang Mi. And "Wu-Tang" and "Search" are both impressively on the list.
The final result, as everyone in the industry knows, was that after Chen Hong and Lin Nan talked on the phone, Yang Mi was replaced from the crew of "Search".
Looking at it now, isn’t it just picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon?
Because of Chen Kaige's treatment, "Search" will definitely be shortlisted for some film festival awards in the future.
…………
The news that "Iron Man 3" will be cast in mainland China is aroused.
Even though the film crew said it was only a supporting role, there are still a large number of first-line actors and actresses flocking to it.
Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing and others came one after another and became the most popular. Even Lu Zheng was asking Jing Tian for information.
Everyone automatically excluded Liu Yifei, because in foreign language films, Liu Yifei's worst supporting roles were in "Inception".
It is said that the original "Pacific Rim" was only given to Starlight after being rejected by him. So, how could she like the small supporting role in "Iron Man 3"?
…………
With the popularity of the summer season, domestic films with small and medium budgets have begun to be released one after another.
But the most eye-catching ones are "Four Famous Catchers" and "Search".
The former’s daily box office remains at 89 million, and the next target is 150 million.
The box office of "Search" reached 42 million after three days of release on the first weekend.
Chen Kaige's bold statement a few days ago that he surpassed the box office of "The Star" has been regarded as a joke and a joke.
"Director Lin, am I going to send out the invitations to the premiere of "The Genius Gunfighter"?"
Yue Jun and Lin Nan said hello, this premiere The scale of the ceremony is relatively large.
"Well, let's do it. By the way, how much is the box office of Yang Mi's movie?" Lin Nan looked up.
"In three days, 20.6 million. The daily box office has dropped sharply, reaching 3 million. According to this drop, it is estimated that it will not exceed 40 million in the end."
Yue Jun gave his prediction, Yang Mi was a little shocked by this movie.
But fortunately, the foundation accumulated in the previous "Xiu Chun Knife" and "Painted Skin 2" is strong enough, and there are still a large number of TV drama fans to support it, so it does not hurt the vitality.
......
Just as Lin Nan and Yue Jun were talking, Xue Xiaolu arrived.
"Fortunately, I have delivered the finished film of "Love in Seattle" to you."
Xue Xiaolu walked into Lin Nan's office with a smile on her face. She went to Tiangong Color first. I came over here after chatting with Lu Yang for a while.
"Sister Xue, sit down."
"Director Xue."
Xue Xiaolu came not only to deliver the completed film, but also to arrange the schedule.
"When does Sister Xue want it to be released?" Lin Nan asked.
"February or March next year. I see that your company has three movies lined up in the second half of the year. I won't join in on this one."
Before Xue Xiaolu came, she had already repeated After thinking about it, early next year would be the best.
"How about putting it on Valentine's Day?" Yue Jun suddenly suggested.
Lin Nan nodded and said in unison with Xue Xiaolu, "This is a good time, and it goes well with the movie!"
"Then choose Valentine's Day. Shall we go see the finished film now?" Lin Nan stood up and invited.
"Okay."
......
On Tiangong Color's side, even Lu Yang put down what he was doing and gathered around to watch.
How do you describe this "Love in Seattle"?
It is different from "Love Is Not Blind". Although the majority of moviegoers may be women, this movie is more female-oriented.
No matter how "indiscreet" a woman has been before, in the end she can find an honest man to take over and be tolerated and loved.
If you look into it carefully, there may be some issues with your outlook, but since it is a commercial film, these issues are not a problem. After all, women’s spending power ranks first!
…………
Nortel, China National Theater and other schools held grand graduation ceremonies for undergraduates and graduate students together.
Many media went to the scene and reported on it.
Lin Nan posted a message on Weibo: "Congratulations to Director Guo Fan for graduating from graduate school and officially returning to the team. Get ready to work!"
For a time, many actors and actresses in the industry Retweet, like and comment to congratulate, Aite Guofan.
Even Zhao Yanzi, who attended the graduation ceremony together and was both an outstanding graduate but had no contact with each other, took the initiative to show his kindness.
Guo Fan is very spiritual and immediately sent his graduation photo and said:
"My working career has officially begun. Director Lin is a very good boss!"
…………
The invitation letter for the premiere of "Genius Gunslinger" began to be circulated to the circle as planned. Distributed to established companies, filmmakers, actors and artists, the momentum is not small.
At this moment, Wang Changtian seems very calm, because there will be almost no conflict between "Four Famous Catchers" and "Genius Gunslinger" at the box office.
After all, when the latter was released, "Four Famous Catchers" was basically ready to be drawn.
But Chen Kaige is a little uneasy.
"Genius Gunner" will definitely have an impact on "Search". The release of the two movies overlapped for 10 days!
