From the establishment of Douban website to 2010, how many Chinese movies have Douban ratings of 9.0 or above?

The answer is 13.

In the 105 years since the birth of "Dingjun Mountain" in 1905, only 13 Chinese-language films have received a Douban score of more than 9.0.

If we exclude the films led by Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are only 7 mainland films with a score above 9.0. The most recent film with a score of 9.0 is Jiang Wen's "The Devils Are Coming".

But that was already 10 years ago.

From the perspective of public viewing, if "Let the Bullets Fly" could be released three to five years later, it might be able to reach 9 points and the box office would be over 1 billion. It shouldn't be a problem.

Cheng Yuan likes "Let the Bullets Fly" so much that he can recite almost all the lines in it.

Jiang Wen may be the most unique director in the Chinese film industry.

Even if I watch the criticized "One Step Away", Cheng Yu'an also likes it very much. The flower country campaign scene is extremely crazy. The song and dance performance alone is worth the ticket price. Jiang Wen's movie will make the audience watch it.

I don’t understand, but he will never fool the audience. You can see full sincerity in his movies.

Jiang Wen also said later: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Give him time and he will understand. Now you use something to fool the audience and make a temporary box office. When the audience matures and looks back, he will curse.

Grandson, did you use this thing to fool me in the first place?"

But Jiang Wen is different. The audience of Jiang Wen will say, you have done something. This is enough.

Cheng Yu'an attended the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly" as Jiang Wen and Yang Shoucheng.

Although Cheng Yu'an has less cooperation with Hong Kong Island in recent years, Yuan Yuan has been cooperating with Yinhuang for distribution in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Yang Shoucheng really admired Jiang Wen. "The Sun Also Rises" lost tens of millions, and "Let the Bullets Fly" came to Yang Shoucheng due to lack of investment, and he invested in it without saying a word.

Jiang Wen asked him if he invested without even reading the script, was he not afraid of losing money?

Yang Shoucheng replied, will Zhou Runfa come? Will Ge You come? Why should I read the script if I come?

Cheng Yuan met Yang Shoucheng backstage.

"Yang Sheng."

"Long time no see, Director Cheng." The two shook hands, "Isn't Yifei here?"

"The crew has to catch up, and she can't get away."

Then, Chen Kun and Liu Jialing both came up to say hello to Cheng Yuan, and Cheng Yuan responded one by one.

Finally, there was director Jiang Wen. When we met, he said: "Man, can you find time to make an appointment?"

"Okay, after I finish filming "Star You" and I have a few free days, let's have a drink." Cheng Yu'an responded with a smile.

Looking at the backstage, Cheng Yu'an asked: "Isn't Brother Fa here?"

"He never participates in publicity."

Cheng Yu'an was speechless. Fa Ge was good at everything, but he was a bit pretentious.

It's obvious that he can't get along in Hollywood, but when he returns to China, he has to show off his reputation in Hollywood.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" went to Disneyland to promote, and "Confucius" was also here, but "Let the Bullets Fly" was not.

Cheng Yu'an didn't say much and just laughed coldly.

Not long after, the front desk greeted the main creator to come on stage, and Cheng Yuan sat down at the audience.

The main creators were sharing their shooting experiences on the scene, and Cheng Yu'an and Yang Shoucheng also communicated off the scene.

"The Hong Kong market is so sluggish this year," Yang Shoucheng and Cheng Yu'an lamented. "There are only two domestic films in the top ten at the box office, and they were all taken over by Hollywood."

"Normally," Cheng Yu'an said, "the mainland is not optimistic either. Currently there are only two domestic films in the top ten ("Tangshan Earthquake" and "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven"). Hollywood blockbusters are very strong around the world. Director Han

Director Tong and I were so worried that we couldn’t even sleep."

Cheng Yu'an received the news in advance that the "China-US Film Agreement" will be signed at the earliest next year and the year after next at the latest. By then, the mainland market will be further liberalized, and Hollywood will have 10 more IMAX blockbusters every year.

Yang Shoucheng is very well-informed, and he has also heard about the "Film Agreement".

"I'm not saying that Hong Kong Island really doesn't have the strength to make blockbusters. The market is too small, and the bosses lack the spirit of adventure. If they have money, they would rather buy properties than make movies.

"Just like movies like "The Martian" and "Tangshan Earthquake", they can't even kill Hong Kong bosses. We know that making police movies is not possible."

Cheng Yu'an couldn't tell what Boss Yang meant. Yang Shoucheng was very adventurous and dared to invest money, and he dared to invest big money.

When the "Mars" project was first launched, Yang Shoucheng prepared 100 million, but Cheng Lingfeng was stunned and confiscated it. The reason was: "You Hong Kong Islanders don't understand aerospace, and you don't have the feelings of family and country and national pride that we mainlanders have."

So, Cheng Yu'an climbed up the ladder: "The company has a film, but it is difficult to make it in the mainland. I am thinking whether to move it to Hong Kong Island or Japan."

This is really not fishing. The movie "Source Code" really cannot be made in the mainland. It contains terrorist attacks and trains blowing up cities. Even if you have a lot of connections, the General Administration will not approve this movie.

Cheng Yu'an thought about putting it on Japan's Shinkansen to blow up Tokyo.

The Japanese don't care anyway, they bomb Tokyo every day.

But considering practical factors, if China and Japan co-produce, it will be hard to say what the public opinion will be when the time comes.

Yang Shoucheng picked up the wheel: "Why go to Japan? If you are not familiar with the place, you come to Hong Kong to shoot. Whether you are short of actors or money, Yinhuang can help you."

That's not what you want.

Since the eavesdropping incident, Yuan Yuan has been much alienated from the entire Hong Kong circle. Therefore, "Painted Skin 2" was handed over to Chen Jiashang, and the "Ip Man" series hired several Hong Kong actors such as Zhen Zhuan. Regarding Hong Kong Island's investment, Yuan Yuan completely

reject.

In the past, Cheng Yu'an would come to Hong Kong Island to promote and participate in the Academy Awards and so on. In recent years, except for "The Martian" where he spent half a day in Hong Kong Island, Cheng Yu'an never came.

"The script is already there," Cheng Yu'an began to tell Yang Shoucheng the story of "Source Code." "It is a small-budget science fiction film about the protagonist on a train...

"If it were placed in Japan, I would blow up Tokyo. If it were Hong Kong Island..."

Yang Shoucheng didn't care: "We can blow up the Central Special Administrative Region Government Building."

"May I?"

"What is allowed in the movie? If not, we can blow up Kowloon, the International Convention and Exhibition Center, and the Lantau Buddha. We can blow up the Hong Kong Island audience." Yang Shoucheng was immediately attracted by the story of "Source Code".

The cost is not big, just a few actors and a train. If Cheng Yu'an wants to come up with a blockbuster like "The Martian", he really has to hesitate, but for small and medium-cost science fiction like "Source Code", he doesn't even blink.

Just dare to vote.

"Should you direct it or find someone else to do it?"

"I won't do it. This film is very easy. I'm going to find Wu Ershan to shoot it." Yang Shoucheng originally wanted to recommend a Hong Kong director, but he stopped talking once he heard that Cheng Yu'an had already thought of a director.

"Okay, that's it, we'll talk about it in detail later."

As soon as the lights dimmed, the screening of "Let the Bullets Fly" began.

"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky."
