Chapter 176 The rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings
"The Flowers of Flowers of Jinling" is of course a masterpiece.
If its director was not Zhang Yimou, he would have been praised on the altar.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yimou has long been a man above the peak. For him, the quality of "The Flowers of War" is worthy of him!
Yan Geling and Liu Heng's screenwriter made up for Zhang Yimou's biggest shortcoming. As we all know, most of the fifth-generation directors lack the ability to tell a good story.
In fact, the thirteen chivalrous prostitutes in "The Flowers of War" praises the thirteen heroic prostitutes.
But this story happened in Jinling!
The golden powder of the Six Dynasties and the romantic scenery of Qinhuai in Jinling are the most likely to arouse the world's love imagination, and it is the center of China's love geography.
As the most famous red light district in the local area, the cradle of Qinhuai River gave birth to famous prostitutes such as Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun, Chen Yuanyuan, Liu Rushi, Ma Xianglan, Gu Meisheng, Bian Yujing, and Kou Baimen. The actions of this prostitute group subverted the famous statement that the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu said that "the business woman did not know the hatred of the country's destruction."
Li Xiangjun's head hit the wall and blood splattered on the fan, which became a famous metaphor for the sacrifice of political chastity in "The Peach Blossom Fan";
Liu Rushi's value doubled because of historian Chen Yinke's biography;
Dong Xiaowan became famous for Jin Yong's martial arts novels.
All the deeds of these noble prostitutes constitute the erotic set of "The Flowers of War" in Jinling.
In other words, from the tone, this movie is naturally offensive!
Especially some experts and professors who claim to be righteous gentlemen, they think that movies should be clean, and who is not good to praise who they must praise prostitutes?
The trailer is speechless. As Zhang Yimou said, there are so many things that the movie can tell, and we must focus on "devotion". We dedicate ourselves twice: the first time to Father Ingman, the representative of Christ, and the second time to the nation-state, which became a wonderful metonym for devotion to Hollywood and the local area.
Zhu Dake, a professor at Tongji University, wrote an article about "The Flowers of War" erotic patriotism" before the movie was released. He criticized Zhang Yimou and his "The Flowers of War" from all aspects and from multiple angles. The reason is very simple. In order to promote "The Flowers of War", the film crew announced the passionate bed scenes of "Hollywood priests" and Chinese charity prostitutes in advance!
'We are fully able to understand the human nature, conscience and love of prostitutes, and do not oppose the display of the political chastity of sex workers from a humanistic perspective. However, in the face of the heavy theme of the Nanjing Massacre, the producers are flirting with hype about bed shows and boasting about the box office value. This can only constitute a humiliation for all the victims of the war, and even a humiliation for 80,000 Chinese women raped.'
This makes people wonder the tone of the film...
Zhang Weipin has caused waves of "verb war" from time to time, which has attracted all the attention for "The Flowers of Flowers", but it gives people a feeling of over-marketing.
As long as he appears, two of the three sentences are about bragging about "The Flowers of War" and the remaining sentence is about expressing his contempt for his opponent!
Honey confidence!
Xu Hui has monopolized the mainland box office rankings. How cool can Zhang Yimou be?
Looking forward to winning Xu Hui at the box office in the mainland?
To some extent, over-marketing has brought certain negative effects to "The Flowers of Flowers". In fact, "The Flowers of Flowers" does not have to be hyped. Zhang Yimou himself is a golden signboard. The national sentiment gathered in the Nanjing Massacre can resonate without over-interpreting it!
Just like Xu Hui, this time in "New Dragon Inn", he did not hype "new martial arts" and "3d special effects". He just said "3d+ia" at the road show. Of course, there are also 2d versions, but I suggest you take a look at the 3d version before talking.'
There was no deliberate marketing in publicity, but he did not let go of the routines he should do.
It even held two consecutive rounds of film watching conferences for the first time, and invited representatives from major theaters and critics to watch the movie...
There is no way, we have to strive for the number of screenings.
After two rounds of trial screening, the results were good and the theaters were very satisfied!
However, the Film Bureau still hopes that "New Longmen Inn" can be postponed by about 0 days...
Is it possible?
It’s such a time. Whoever takes a step back will be his grandson!
Xu Hui cannot withdrew, Zhang Weipin has already let go of his bold words, and he cannot withdrew...
Then fight to the death!
By the way, Ye Ning said the new picture two days ago and replied, "The Flowers of War" will only give the copy to Huiwen Cinema a week after it is released...'
"Tell him, we don't need it!"
Haha, if you want to show off, just pretend to the end.
...
Xu Hui is very busy.
The release of each work is a new test for him.
Although I am full of confidence in "New Dragon Inn", no one knows that if the actors and eras have been replaced, can this movie still exert the influence of the last century?
Moreover, Zhang Yimou's influence lies here, and no one can tell who will lose and who will win in this tough battle!
If you analyze the current market capacity, the highest box office in a single day is only 50 million yuan.
The popularity of a movie is only 20 days at most. In the ideal state, the market in February can soar to 3 billion. In this way, "New Longmen Inn" can crush "The Flowers of War"...
Xu Laoqian has such a high status in the world. "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is a good martial arts film. It has a 3D bonus, but in the end the box office was still unfair. No matter how arrogant Xu Hui was, he was always a little nervous when facing Zhang Yimou who was about to be launched.
So, we have made more efforts to promote it.
Starting from early February, the crew of "New Longmen Inn" started a variety show promotion journey, "Happy Camp", "Yang Lan Interview", "Appointment of Sea Bass", etc. Almost all well-known domestic variety shows have been on the market.
Online public relations did not relax, and a bunch of press releases were spread to major portals.
"Martial arts plus 3D will definitely bring an audio-visual feast to the audience"
"We are different from the previous slutty bitches..."
The main creator behind the scenes revealed the release of "New Longmen Inn" soared...
...
The New Year holiday has always been a must-fight place for Chinese films, and a bunch of gluttonous feasts will be released on the New Year holiday.
Maybe it's because this is the movie-watching habit of Chinese audiences, and they all like to watch movies at the end of the year.
The initial New Year holiday extended from mid-to-late February to early month. Later, due to the increasing trend of crowds of blockbusters, the New Year holiday date has been repeatedly advanced to the beginning of the month and to the end of February and early March of the New Year, spanning multiple festivals, including Christmas, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and Valentine's Day.
The sign of the opening of this year's New Year holiday should be the release of "East and West 20"!
Let’s not complain about how bad “East and West 20” is. A total of movies will be released in 20 days between the 24th month and February 5th.
In addition to director Liu Zhenwei, Ye Weixin brought his "Happy Magic", and director Li Rengang also brought his "Legend of Hongmen Banquet"...
It seems to be warming up in advance for the 'Xu Zhang dispute'!
The effect is not very good.
In addition to "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", which was blessed with the blessing of a fairy, won 50 million yuan in box office and dropped out in a neat box office. No movie with this ticket had a box office of over 100 million yuan.
The box office of "Happy Magic" did not even exceed 20 million!
It set a record for the lowest box office in the past few years!
Tianyu and Huayi jointly invested, Huang Baiming continued to rehearse the cold rice. He originally wanted to find Wu Jing, but Wu Jing pushed it directly after reading the script...
Chapter completed!
