The publicity work before the release of "The Flowers of War" and "New Longmen Inn" was done too well.

Anyone who is a little interested in the movie knows that these two movies will be duel in the New Year holiday, and many good audiences will also be crowned with the decisive battle of the new king...

It seems that in the eyes of these people, Xu Hui can only officially ascend the throne as the box office king if he defeats Zhang Yimou head-on!

Whether you want to admit it or not, when it comes to Chinese films, the first director that comes to mind is Zhang Yimou!

No matter how attacked "The Flowers of War" is, and how much it tends to be romantic during publicity, many viewers still pay for it.

The same is true for theaters!

On the second day of the release, on December 16, "The Flowers of War" won 40 million yuan in box office with a 41% screening volume, setting the highest single-day box office of Zhang Yimou's movie!

Of course, his biggest rival, "New Dragon Inn", easily won a box office of 72 million with 47% of the screening volume.

Public opinion was in an uproar...

...

"The Flowers of Flowers of Jinling" and "New Longmen Inn" were held before the release of the film.

That is, the film critics’ promotion meeting, which will appear in CCTV6 "China Film Report"…

There is no way to do this. If you don’t give red envelopes in such a fierce New Year period, you will get other production companies. No matter how hot these experts are, they will have their titles, including Zhang Hong, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the China Film Association, etc.

In fact, the seminar was just a special session of praise, after all, I got the money.

There are also ignorant people, such as "Rural Love Story". As a result, Zeng Qingrui, a professor at the Communication University, tried too hard and criticized Zhao Benshan seriously, believing that Zhao "was confused by the flowers brought by the ratings, and was misled by some irresponsible remarks and unprincipled praise." Zhao Benshan was furious on the spot and rebuked, "All experts make money... just relying on doubts."

Then there was nothing. Comrade Zeng Qingrui paid the price for his "ignorance". He never invited him to the seminar...

Of course, the first one is the inertia of the Chinese people!

When it comes to Xu Hui, many senior filmmakers like to privately use the saying "There is no hero at the moment, so the prince will become famous!"

When talking about his movies, it is more like "too entertaining and not having the sense of social responsibility as a director at all...", and then shook his head repeatedly, as if he thought that if Chinese movies were tied to this person, it would definitely be the tragedy of Chinese movies!

The older generation of filmmakers, some experts and professors who specialize in Chinese film, are all people who view directors and works from the perspective of nation, world, and film history.

In their words, Zhang Yimou was willing to fall into depravity and started making commercial films. In addition, on other occasions, they would also say, "The future of Chinese films must be paid attention to commercial films. We cannot let Hollywood completely occupy our market...'

Isn't this a contradiction!

No, there was a genius' first work that was praised by a number of industry bricks before it was released!

"This movie brought a new atmosphere to the 2016 movie screen and brought a fresh wind. This movie has artistic life!"

It feels like talking about "The Donkey Gets Water"?

No, it’s a compliment to a masterpiece that is known as twelve years of hard work!

That’s right, this movie is called "Pure Heart: Dream-Chasing the Show Circle"!

Let’s hear how they evaluate “New Longmen Inn”.

‘The concept of 3D is a wave that has brought to the whole world after the success of "Avatar". Of course, I like "Avatar", an amazing visual wonder. But in China, 3D is still a passerby, involving all aspects, involving cinema screening terminal technology, etc. The director should essentially shoot a good story.’

"New Longmen Inn" finally reached an average ticket price of 44 yuan with high ticket prices in 3D and IMAX formats!

This is also the main reason why "New Dragon Gate" has been able to maintain an absolute lead two days before its release!

From this perspective, improving the artistic and technical content of movies is the most powerful guarantee for improving the profit output ability of movies.

Why does this group of beasts seem to have 3D hinder the development of Chinese films?

The reason is very simple. The movie "New Dragon Gate" will not be invited. Huiwen Tianxia mainly targets film critics...

More than ten years ago, we had Zhang Xianmin, a professor of the Department of Literature of Beijing Film Academy, Zhang Ming, a professor of the Department of Directors of Beijing Film Academy, Zhang Yaxuan, a film critic from Beijing Normal University, and Hao Rong, a teaching student in the Department of Performance of the Central Academy of Drama... They are the Seven Gentlemen!

They are people who strive for the development of Chinese films and independent films, do academic work, and even have the courage to survive and develop Chinese films.

In today's Chinese film industry, there are only such a group of beasts who stand on the stage.

...

Although "New Dragon Inn" is ahead of its opponents in box office, its topic or media coverage is far behind "The Flowers of Flowers".

After all, the controversy is too controversial.

A bunch of people discuss online whether "The Flowers of Flowers" is a good movie, navy, rhythmic, malicious smear, and malicious smear, and countless people!

Everyone is discussing Zhang Yimou, discussing the Nanjing Massacre, discussing Oscars, discussing sex, discussing women, or complaining about how the plot of the movie is irrelevant. Just analyzing this work from the perspective of the movie, there is no...

This is the current situation of Chinese films in those years!

However, when it comes to the media manuscripts of "New Longmen Inn", there are very few, at most, "the audience responded enthusiastically and the box office hit a new high..."

There is really no way to do this. The box office of "October Siege" exceeded that of "Three Guns", but the topicality is far behind the latter.

In China, the movies of great directors represent national integrity. No matter how you don’t like them, you still want to become famous internationally and earn back the face of the Chinese people.

Although I don’t want to admit it, Zhang Yimou’s influence at home and abroad still exceeds Xu Hui’s…

Fortunately, in terms of box office, "New Dragon Gate" has always maintained an absolute lead!

On the 17th, the Shanghai Promotion Roadshow, while congratulating the rising box office of "New Dragon Gate" and asked: "The story of "New Dragon Gate" is more like a pure world, rather than a work of "Huang Feihong" with historical thickness. Does it mean that there will be adjustments in the future creation direction?"

Well, this is a lot of doubts encountered by "New Dragon Gate". Many viewers say that Xu Hui's movie has changed. Although it is still good, there is no place to think about it...

"...I really haven't considered this much. In fact, for so many years, I have been making movies very casually, and I don't have to have any purpose or awards. Telling a good story is the most important thing. I think if a director is too utilitarian and shoots a work with a certain purpose, it is not good. He will lose his judgment of the work to a large extent and will unconsciously tend to be inclined to the value orientation of the judges!"

Is this targeting "The Flowers of War"?

Regardless of whether he is or not, the reporters present have already figured out how to interpret it.
