Chapter 180 Premiere (1/28)
It is an indisputable fact that Zhang Yimou saved Chinese movies twice.
"One and Eight" announced the birth of the fifth generation of directors, and "Red Sorghum" made the world begin to notice Chinese films;
In 2002, "Hero" was released, and Chinese films entered the era of blockbusters and entered the stage of marketization!
Don’t forget who led Chinese literary and artistic films to the world; don’t forget who started the revolution in domestic commercial blockbusters.
Some people always say that Zhang Yimou is willing to fall into the depravity of making big commercial films, and some people even pretend to be deep and deep, Zhang Yimou is dead, although he has made so many excellent literary films before.
I have always believed that Zhang Yimou is the greatest director in China, and has nothing to do with politics or private life.
If an ordinary person can achieve one percent of Zhang Yimou's achievements, he can be said to have achieved success in his career.
...
According to Zhang Weipin, "The Flowers of War" was released simultaneously in China and the United States...
Tsk, Xu Hui’s "New Longmen Inn" can’t be done!
North America is in the Christmas season at this time, and a bunch of local North American movies are released, "Twilight 4: Dawn (Part 1), "Ratcomb", "Mission Impossible 4", "Detective Sherlock Holmes 2: Shadow Game", "New Year's Eve", "Girl with Dragon Tattoo"...
The so-called simultaneous release of North America is something that people who don’t know how to publish it say. How is it possible?
You can find a synchronous one?
The true synchronous release will be fully released in at least 1,500 theaters across the United States, but this is impossible in the North American Christmas season where good shows are gathered!
Disney is not particularly optimistic about "New Dragon Inn", but it also agreed to introduce the film, but the schedule is next February!
If there is a so-called "simultaneous distribution", it must be a non-commercial theater, or a certain theater.
But Xu Hui is too lazy to care about these things. Zhang Weipin can just blow whatever he likes. Anyway, just do the domestic area well!
On the 14th, "The Flowers of War" ushered in its global premiere.
Zhang Weipin really has a solution, and I don’t know what he thought, so he held the premiere ceremony directly in the auditorium of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in Beijing.
The unique style of a stage play was used to capture clips of the movie, and the oral introduction of the main creator was very shocking!
The premiere ceremony began with the song "Qinhuai Scenery" with the appearance of the Flowers of Flowers, and Zhang Yimou introduced all the staff members in front and behind the scenes.
Among them, Bell and Yumo's actor Nini appeared together to attract the most attention.
Just watching this premiere, it’s full of tearjerking effects!
It is a truly "Nanjing Massacre" film that has been related to Nanjing so far - the crisp Nanjing dialect in the movie, the beautiful women by the Qinhuai River, the elegant and low-pinking Pingtan singing style...
The story is very touching, and whether it is the portrayal of characters or the excavation of human nature, it is told in a sleek and fascinating way.
Zhang Yimou has completely abandoned the method of relying on photography and pictures to dazzling, and even this time he did not use the Chinese Red, which was not used in the signature.
The whole movie is plain, but very touching. Like "Living", there is no grand narrative conceptual language, and it is spoken in details. Every detail is exquisite and in place, which makes people cry. The female student's shoes, cardamom strings, pandan earrings... The beauty of human nature is everywhere in the movie.
Many people lamented that Zhang Yimou was finally back!
Many professionals have made predictions: at least 300 million in the first week!
Zhang Weipin did not speak out throughout the whole process, and he also knew that it was really annoying to say that the box office was really...
However, compared with Zhang Yimou's previous masterpieces, the premiere of "The Flowers of War" has dimmed a lot. Except for the actors participating, no other stars attended...
...
At the same time, the premiere of "New Longmen Inn" was also held in Beijing.
The stars are shining.
Wu Jing, Deng Chao, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Liu Sisi, Yaya, and Huayi all supported each other, Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming and... Well, Feng Teddy, basically the actors who have worked with Xu Hui or have a good relationship have come!
The premiere is ‘Xu Hui’s 3D martial arts world!’
After the actor appeared, he first had a brief interview, and then Xu Hui appeared.
"The production scale of our "New Longmen Inn" is three or four times larger than my previous movies. The main reason is that it involves a very complex technical problem, because the scene is 3D shooting, and three sets of 3D equipment are required, which involves more manual labor."
"Actually, I said in an interview last year that martial arts plus imax and 3d will have a huge visual impact. Future movies will definitely occupy the mainstream position, so of course I have to try it!"
"The investment in the entire film is currently a specific figure, which is a little higher than 180 million, which is mainly used in post-production and live shooting. The pay collected by actors is really low, and it hasn't even received 10%."
"I feel very sorry for them, especially Teacher Yu Feihong. During the filming, the cornea was injured and the blood flowed continuously. I once wanted to quit..."
The host is Huang Jianxiang: "You must have watched the movie. Can you tell us your feelings?"
"It's like that. I have my own persistence in my aesthetics. If I don't think it's possible, I won't show it to the audience even if it's remake. I've seen 3 versions, the 2d version, the action, and the editing meet my requirements, which is perfect; the imax version is also very good, and with Chen Xunqi's soundtrack, it makes people feel dreamy and directly enter the world of movies; as for the 3d version, there is still some problem..."
“Something is wrong?”
Huang Jianxiang is a little confused.
"I suggest that underage should not watch the 3D version of "New Longmen Inn", which contains some shots that children should not..."
Xu Hui said it was very mysterious.
Actually, it's half-filled fruit...
There was no doubt that a 'pleasure' sound came from the scene.
They are all old drivers!
"Well, Director Xu, there are many people on the Internet saying "The Flowers of War" these days. What do you think of director Zhang Yimou?"
This was specially added when I was discussing Taiwanese books before.
Deliberately avoiding talking will give people a feeling of being timid before fighting!
And there are so many media outlets on the scene, and reporters always have to write something!
"Director Zhang Yimou has always been the Chinese director I admire the most. I really want to work with him on a drama. I write and direct it. "The Flowers of War" tells the story of the Nanjing Massacre as the background. I hope that the audience can watch "The Flowers of War" and of course, they can also watch my films. Both films have good box office! The ticket price is not expensive now. From the perspective of booking tickets, it doesn't cost 150 yuan to watch both movies. I have been wondering why everyone must compete by themselves? Chinese filmmakers are all a family, and we should develop together."
Very well said, like you!
Chapter completed!
