Chapter 182 "Thirteen Hairpins"
"New Dragon Gate" is a bit similar to "Avatar" in 3D movies.
It is groundbreaking and is a pinnacle work that has stood for fifteen years!
The world is drunk and the fifteenth spring is the most romantic one. The New Dragon Gate is!
Gu Long said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there are chivalrous people.
There are talented people in the world who have emerged, and they have been leading the way for decades. This is the case with fighting and killing in the world, and the swords and swords on the screen. In the world of martial arts and movies where the wind and clouds are surging, both real and illusory, Mr. Xu is an unforgettable banner.
The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. Now, fifteen years have passed. "New Dragon Inn" is a classic work recognized as a martial arts movie. It is also the masterpiece of Mr. Xu's martial arts movie. The grudges and hatreds, and the sword light wanders are filled with the charm of the Chinese classical aesthetic spirit, the romantic chivalrous spirit, and the liberal sentiment with modern consciousness.
Even if you play "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" with "New Dragon Gate" IP, you can still fight hard to distinguish between "The Flowers of War" in the 2011 New Year holiday.
At that time, Li Lianjie was old and literary dramas were even more unbearable to look at them, but some people still bought into the things like sentiment!
Although "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" lost to "The Flowers of War" in the end, the two almost went hand in hand in terms of influence.
After "Dragon Gate", Mr. Xu regained himself again. The next two works were both very popular and well-known - "Die Renjie's God Capital Dragon King" and "Taking the Tiger Mountain with Wisdom"!
On the other hand, after Zhang Yimou, after "The Flowers of War", he directly fought with his many years of partner Zhang Wei. He did not release his new work - "Return" until 2014.
Xu Ke and his "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" are definitely the fuse!
Just as Yu Dong, the producer of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", said, "Although we lost at the box office, in fact, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" confirmed to the outside world that Chinese people can also shoot 3D! From this level, I think "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is of great significance!"
...
As of 18 o'clock, "New Dragon Gate" has taken the lead in winning a box office of nearly 20 million.
If you look at the eyes and check it in time, you can clearly see that the attendance rate of "New Dragon Gate" is close to 60%!
This is already a very high attendance rate, after all, the 15th is a working day!
With this advantage, the screening rate of "New Dragon Gate" accounted for 43%, and the filming of "The Flowers of Flowers" that was later launched was only 20%.
It is obvious that theaters are more optimistic about "New Longmen Inn" than the "Annual Tears" - "The Flowers of War"!
It is better to have a more festive New Year holiday, but it is boring to make so many epic disasters.
The lessons from "Lost in Thailand" and "1942" tell us that don't try to put some uncomfortable movies in the New Year holiday!
...
Most domestic filmmakers are very resistant to "The Flowers of War" attitude.
It’s not because of the movie, nor is it like Zhang Yimou. In fact, many people are still looking forward to the cooperation between Zhang Yimou and Yan Geling, or what kind of lens he can use to record the disasters of our nation.
"The Flowers of War" reflects the Nanjing Massacre!
A thing that is worth remembering by the Chinese forever.
The Jews have a large number of movies that awaken their nation, such as "Shintler's List" and "Pianist", and China has the only one "Nanjing! Nanjing!"...
The key is Zhang Weipin, his mouth is so annoying!
Also, there were directional mistakes in the promotion of the movie!
First, they fought against the eight major theaters by raising the highest ticket price. The theaters were indignant and threatened to resist the screening of "The Flowers of War". Finally, the Film Bureau came forward to reconcile and the average ticket price at the time of release was 41 yuan.
Then, he joined the Oscar for the best foreign language film, and worked hard to manage it everywhere in the film, so that the film was full of Hollywood-type film-like stitches.
Finally returned in a miserable way...
Another point is that when "The Flowers of Flowers" was still filming, Zhang Weipin made a bold statement to make the box office of the film exceed one billion!
This kind of work with the theme of Nanjing Massacre only considers what movie awards and how many box offices abroad, and fundamentally ignores the feelings of the Chinese people!
'What is the saying, "Only national is the world's." Since "Hero", Zhang Yimou's films have almost all the same, with only form and no core. Judging from Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine". I think our director should reflect on it carefully.'
This is the review of "The Flowers of War" by film critics.
In short, due to publicity, in the eyes of many people, "The Flowers of War" is a work used by Zhang Yimou to win the Oscars!
It did get the chance to be shortlisted for the Golden Globes, but was rejected by the Oscars and didn't even get the nomination...
The values instilled in "The Flowers of War" are completely contrary to Western values.
Our directors know prostitutes very well, but they don’t understand Christianity, and even more so, how can such a video be recognized by the West?
The life of a female student is life, is it that the life of a prostitute is not life?
Why should prostitutes die for the female students?
As a result, we were still very moved...
Eastern values directly collide with Western universal values...
A big failure of the movie was to let the female students in the church climb up to the bell tower of the church and commit suicide, which led to the generosity of the business woman in the form of a substitute for death. Director Zhang was really not careful at all. Are Catholics not allowed to commit suicide? Suicide is equivalent to rebelling against God!
We don’t understand these, but don’t Westerners understand them?
If you have such a mistake, you still want to win the Oscar for the best foreign language film?
Also, Zhang Weipin claimed that paintings were launched in China and the United States at the same time, but the reality is that there are less than 90 theaters opening paintings, and the final box office is only 310,000 US dollars...
It is far from Zhang Weipin's small goal of 100 million...
The Hollywood Reporter criticized: Only the dullest producers in Hollywood will inject sexual components into disasters like the Nanjing Massacre, but this has become the core element of "The Flowers of Jinling". The whole film is artificial and lacks persuasiveness!
Some foreign film critics also believe that the story of "The Flowers of War" is a bit too much. They think that Zhang Yimou may not tell a real story, and plots such as Christian suicide and prostitutes swaying in cheongsams in December are also flaws.
Moreover, even if "The Flowers of War" shifted its focus from Qinhuai women to Shujuan and other church students, it would probably be hopeless.
Meet "A Farewell"!
Asha Fahati, the director closest to a master in the 21st century...
...
In the original time and space, Xu Hui was influenced by many film reviews and subconsciously felt that "The Flowers of Flowers" was a super invincible bad movie, so he refused to watch the movie.
By chance, I clicked on the Douban Zhang Yimou's work and found that the score of "The Flowers of War" has risen to 8.0 points.
He suddenly realized that it seemed that this was a seriously underestimated work!
Director Zhang, I owe you a movie ticket!
So, he went to watch "The Great Wall"...
I feel like I will never love you again...
Chapter completed!
