Chapter 254 "Three Guns"

Lin Nan is currently filming the second half of "The Thief".

To the outside world, "Call" and "Wind and Cloud 2" were released on the same day.

The first-day box office of both movies was over 10 million.

Worry about money!

Because the next day is "Three Guns", and there will be two imported blockbusters this month.

Zhang Yimou's movies are the focus of the entire industry.

On the day it was released, it easily took in 21 million at the box office.

From the next day on, the previous films "Chilling" and "Wind and Cloud 2" were directly reduced to foils.

Taking advantage of the break, many people from the crew went to watch "Three Guns".

After returning, there was not much discussion, but almost everyone sent congratulatory messages on Weibo.

The box office exceeded 100 million in 4 days!

This is the audience's respect for the chief director of the Olympic opening ceremony. CCTV News reported this brief message.

But the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

A lot of complaints and negative reviews appeared online.

This time quite a lot of media and audiences are on the same side.

"This movie is purely based on Zhao Jiaban's 'noisy' folk style. It feels like the whole drama is completely out of Zhang Yimou's control."

"This is a long sketch, with a strong flavor of two-person roles..."

"Hippy smiling and unprofessional acting, jumping narrative techniques, and a completely terrible and fragmented plot!"

"What on earth is Zhang Yimou doing? He is cheating money..."

"The cost of 28 million is indeed cheap but not good..."

…

It can be seen that Zhang Yimou was completely blackmailed this time.

Bad films by great directors often follow a pattern, the more they are criticized, the more popular they become.

"Three Guns" is like yesterday's "The Promise", with its box office rising steadily amid criticism...

"What exactly went wrong with Director Zhang's movie?"

Several cast members came to consult Lin Nan, but he only said a few words.

"The producer seriously interfered with the director's creation. I heard that the script and actors originally decided were completely different from what we see now, and there was a big change at the last minute..."

Thinking about the overwhelming ridicule from the outside world, Lin Nan felt that Zhang Yimou would probably think carefully about the cooperation with Zhang Weiping this time.

"Everyone is ready to prepare for the next scene and try to ensure that everything goes smoothly."

"Okay, Director Lin."

…

As the filming comes to an end, the main actors have been finalized one after another, such as Zhang Yi and Wu Gan.

The two of them were very familiar with each other, and Wu Gen even more so came over to chat with Lin Nan.

He wants to transform into a director, which is exactly the same as Xu Zheng's original idea.

"In the past few years in Hong Kong Island, I have almost always been a sidekick. There are many people who have supported me, but I will never be the protagonist."

When Wu Gan said this, he felt a little helpless. He probably saw the reality clearly.

"Then what are you planning next?" Lin Nan asked curiously.

"I will return my work focus to the mainland and wait for a few years. After all, I am poor now and don't have a girlfriend, haha..."

Lin Nan was amused, he is a free and easy person.

"Well, if there is any suitable role in the future, I will consider you."

Hearing this, Wu Gan was obviously happy.

"Thank you, Director Lin, for remembering it..."

…

The more "Three Guns" does at the box office, the louder the criticism becomes, and it already has a torrent of bad reviews.

Especially the colorful costumes and vulgar and abrupt lines were described by netizens as eye-catching and disgusting.

Over 100 million in 4 days, and 200 million in 8 days.

Zhang Weiping predicted happily when being interviewed by the media.

"It hit 300 million in two weeks, and 400 million in three weeks. After one month, it will definitely be a new box office record..."

The result was not what Zhang Weiping predicted.

After the box office of "Three Guns" reached 200 million, it was cut in half again and again, and its growth plummeted day by day.

As a producer, Zhang Weiping did not consider the problems of the film itself.

He blamed the two imported blockbusters that were released, "2012" and "District 9".

Zhang Weiping first bombarded the film arrangement issue, and then the map bombardment.

“The China Film Group is the dominant one”, “power monopoly”, “suppression of dissidents”, “the Huabiao Awards are full of chaos”, “personality cult”…

Han Sanping came to visit the cast of "Thieves", and Lin Nan joked about it.

"Don't mention it, the nickname given by Zhang Weiping is quite domineering, 'Mountain Eagle'!"

Han Sanping thought of Zhang Weiping with a look of disdain.

"I blindly intervened on my own, and my reputation backfired. Is it to blame China Film Group for its film schedule?

The shit basin is really good. Wait until one day Zhang Yimou is gone..."

Lin Nan also admires Zhang Weiping. The imported film was decided in the first half of the year, and this can be pushed forward.

The nickname "Mountain Eagle" completely offended Han Sanping to death.

The cast and crew, seeing that Lin Nan and the two were talking about this topic, didn't feel like interrupting, so they just said hello and stopped interrupting.

Han Sanping walked around the set, nodded and looked at Lin Nan.

"They say you are learning from Hollywood this time, and it really looks like that. It's impressive. How long will it take to finish filming?"

"About a week. But the post-production and special effects of this movie will probably take some time."

Lin Nan replied: He estimates that "The Thief" will have to wait until at least the second half of next year for its release.

…

The filming of "Thieves" has entered the final stage.

The scenes mainly focus on Zhang Hanyu, Liu Dehua, Fan Bingbing, Yan Danchen and others.

The last climax is Zhang Hanyu's action scene.

A dedicated actor always impresses people. He refused to be a substitute.

The long chase and fight scenes were so smooth that it really only took one day to complete them.

"Click."

"You can rest now. The last action scene of this movie is finished."

Everyone understood what Lin Nan meant, which meant that the movie was only a few days away from being finished.

Unlike "Thieves" where the media is not allowed to visit the cast, the crew of Lu Yang's "Xiu Chun Knife" is much more open.

From time to time, photos appear on the Internet, and the news is constant.

On the other side, Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" was launched with a high profile.

However, at the press conference, it was Zhang Ziyi who was asked the most questions.

The latter is also a bad year.

First he was asked why he was dumped, then he was questioned about the loss of all his Hollywood resources, so he had to return to China in despair to develop his career, and finally there was the scandal.

After the entire press conference, Zhang Ziyi had a dark face throughout, barely holding on until the end, and the rest of the main cast members also looked bad.

Many media have compared "Ip Man" with "The Grandmaster".

Ying Huang's speech was very professional, and he also gave a publicity by the way.

"The former is a purely commercial film, but it is also full of feelings about family and country. As for the latter, I don't know much about it, so I won't comment on it.
