China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 598 The master is tall, the magistrate is tough, and Mr. Huang is tall and tough!

The lineup for the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly" is quite strong, Lao Jiang's popularity is not bad, and coupled with his background in a compound, there are still some people who are willing to give face.

Although Boss Cao and Uncle Ge didn't yell, but given their status and popularity, many people came to cheer them on.

For example, Feng Pants, he ran over by himself. On the one hand, he had a cameo in "Let the Bullets Fly", and it was normal to show up. On the other hand, he also intends to promote a wave of "If You Are the One 2", which will be released at the same time.

This year's Lunar New Year stalls are not usually lively and luxurious, and many big productions of famous directors and big names are launched.

On December 12, Director Chen's "Orphan of the Zhao Family" premiered, starring Uncle Ge and Wang Xueqi, and supporting or guest appearances by Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Wenzhuo, Gao Yuanyuan and others.

On December 12, "Let the Bullets Fly" had its premiere, with the three giants Cao, Jiang, and Ge, plus popular stars such as Fan Xiaopang and Hu Ge joining in.

On December 12, "If You Are the One 22" directed by Feng Pants was released. Uncle Ge and Shu Dazui played together, with Sun Honglei, An Yixuan and Bai Baihe participating.

Although the three films have a certain schedule space, they still inevitably make head-to-head hand-to-hand combat.

Feng's pants marketing is true, but at the same time, it also means to inquire about intelligence.

This year's box office champion is destined to be "Avatar", with a box office of 14.43 billion yuan, which is directly twice that of the second-ranked "Tangshan Earthquake" with 7.1 million yuan.

This stat is hard to break.

Because the success of "Avatar" is not only the film itself, but also technological innovation, which not only leads the emerging wave of IMAX/3D movies, but also shapes a "world".

It can be said that the right time, place and people coexist, making everyone realize that movies can still be made like this.

So much so that in addition to regular movie fans, there are also a large number of passer-by audiences who are attracted to the theater, leading to "Avatar" going out of the circle around the world, ranking first in the world's film history.

It is no exaggeration to say that this movie is not just a movie, but a movie concept that subverts cognition and is ahead of the times.

If you want to find an analogy, it is probably equivalent to Jobs taking out the Apple mobile phone and letting everyone see what a real smartphone is.

Considering the background of the mainland film market, other films may be able to impact in a short period of time.

But if you want to surpass "Avatar", don't say there is no chance, but you also need the right time, place and people.

Feng Pants didn't think "Let the Bullets Fly" could surpass "Avatar", but he really didn't dare to promise "Tangshan Earthquake".

Especially "Let the Bullets Fly" has the presence of Cao Xuan.

Feng Pants, who has been with him several times, is very afraid of Cao Xuan's box office appeal.

Although it will not turn decay into magic, but if the quality of the movie is excellent, Cao Xuan's halo bonus is very terrifying.

He had asked Uncle Ge before, but although Uncle Ge participated in the whole process of "Let the Bullets Fly", but the filming and the finished product are two things, at most he knows a general idea, and it is difficult to estimate the specific quality.

Feng Pants was really uncertain, so he came here in person, just to see the quality of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Cao Xuan hadn't seen Feng Pants for a while, but when they met today, there were indeed many changes from before.

With Huayi's original shares listed, and the box office hit of "Tangshan Earthquake", Director Feng Da has made a lot of money.

Some media broke the news that Director Feng earned 6000 million+ from the share of "Tangshan Earthquake".

You know, the box office share of the producer of "Tangshan Earthquake" is only about 2.7 million, including other income, even if it earns 3-3.5 million, Director Feng alone took almost 15-20% of the total income.

Of course, no one knows whether there is water in it.

Cao Xuan didn't quite believe it, but with the importance the Wang brothers attached to Feng Pants, and Feng's contribution to "Tangshan Earthquake", Huayi may also give up all his money to win him over.

But in any case, his career was prosperous, and his net worth skyrocketed to become a billionaire.

Director Feng Da's waist is now very strong, and his brows are full of confidence and arrogance, which is the first in the history of Chinese film.

Cao Xuan suspected that if he hadn't held Fanxing Theater in his hand, and the box office appeal was strong enough, this guy would dare to call him Xiao Cao.

"Old Feng is arrogant."

Cao Xuan glanced at Old Jiang, who was somewhat disdainful and grinned.

"My family's net worth has skyrocketed by hundreds of millions a year. Are you going to let me go?"

"Sorry, the number is too small, I can't quite understand this feeling."

Cao Xuan’s expression is innocent. If you don’t consider the real assets and calculate the company’s valuation, the major companies he invests in are developing rapidly, and he can’t keep up with the growth of tens of billions a year. mental journey.

Old Ginger: "..."

Every time after communicating with Cao Xuan, he always felt that his portrayal of Huang Silang was still too shallow.

I also blame him for being ignorant, I really can't imagine the "insanity" of these capitalists...

The two of them were talking here, and when Feng Pants saw them coming over, he gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Cao, I've listened to the new song, it's definitely this one, and I'll have to buy a few for collection later."

"Haha, I also said, if it weren't for Director Feng, you grabbed my headlines, it would be even more popular."

"I can't blame me for this matter. The surname Sun is nothing. If you don't scold me a few words, I feel very uncomfortable."

The two were talking about the entertainment news during this period, Feng and Sun fought, that is, Feng Pants and Shi Guangrong from "The Years of Burning Passion" sparred.

The incident originated from this year's Golden Horse Awards. The daughters-in-law of the two were shortlisted for the best actress at the same time, and Shi Guangrong's daughter-in-law won the final victory.

Because of the explosion of "Tangshan Earthquake", Feng Pants, who thought he would win the best actress, was very dissatisfied. He criticized the Golden Horse Awards in various ways, and the connotation was targeted because the box office was too good.

Originally, Feng Pants was aiming for the Golden Horse Awards, but Shi Guangrong felt that he was annoyed at his own wife, so he directly complained, saying that Feng Pants was the director of an entertainment film, and he didn't even watch the tickets given to him.

Now Feng's trousers are offended.

He was already in the limelight, and when he was arrogant, let alone Shi Guangrong, a second-tier actor, even if Cao Xuan spoke, he might be able to reply a few words.

In addition, Feng Pants has been transforming over the years, intending to get rid of the shackles of comedy and move closer to the mainstream. To say that he is an entertainment film director is a painful step.

As a result, Feng Pants scolded on Weibo, posted dozens of Weibo posts in a few days, and became the top trending Weibo.

From this point of view, Cao Xuan even thanked him a little bit. After all, because of his several scolding battles, he brought a lot of attention to Weibo and raised the market value.

Considering that Cao Xuan owns 35% of the shares in Penguin, it is estimated that at least because of Director Feng's turmoil, his net worth will increase by another [-] to [-] million.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan looked at Feng Pants with a gentler look.

It's a pity that these market values ​​are all false. In the future, if Weibo goes public, Director Feng can still contribute to the stock price.

Cao Xuan's eyes can be more gentle, and he will even take the initiative to help him find some opponents, which not only enriches Director Feng's daily life, but also meets the spiritual entertainment needs of the people who eat melons, and he also makes a lot of money along with it.

Three wins!
Several people chattered a few words, Cao Xuan didn't want to comment on the rights and wrongs between him and Shi Guangrong, but he was really unhappy with this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Although the actress was upset, it was justifiable to win the award anyway, the actor is the real disgusting person.

But now this time period is too sensitive to write scribbles, Cao Xuan can only endure it, and find a way to concoct it back...

.........

The premiere ceremony began, many main creators were seated, and the two hosts went through the process, and the two nasty "love letters" by @老江 were played on the big screen over and over again.

The provocative writing style made the audience laugh continuously. After the two letters of faith were finished, the host took aim at Lao Jiang.

"Hello Director Jiang Wen, we are very curious. Both letters said that Mr. Ge and Mr. Cao had agreed to cooperate, so who did you send these two letters to first?"

Old Jiang said with a shy face, "It was posted at the same time."

There were bursts of laughter at the scene, and the host looked at Uncle Ge and Cao Xuan next to him: "Which of these two received the letter first."

Uncle Ge was a master at pretending to be confused, so he didn't upset Jiang Wen, and said "forgot" with a silly smile while holding the microphone.

Cao Xuan was not used to Lao Jiang, or deliberately made a point for the media, so he picked up the microphone to reveal Lao Jiang's sinister intentions at the time.

"Director Jiang Wen is definitely a master of empty-handed white wolves. He told Teacher Ge that I would participate in the show, and told me that Teacher Ge would participate in the show. The two of us were almost fooled."

The host has a good foundation in making jokes: "How did you find out later?"

"Jiang Dao missed a trick. I have contact with Teacher Ge. I heard that I could cooperate with Teacher Ge. I was very happy, so I called Teacher Ge, but after chatting, I realized something was wrong. Two times a pair , this matter cannot be hidden..."

Jiang Wen kept squinting his eyes and smiling, and when he heard this, he said: "Next time, I will find someone I don't know."

The state of the three giants is very interesting. Cao Xuan and Lao Jiang are like the characters in the movie.But occasionally a sentence pops up, which is also particularly stalking.

In addition to the three giants, Fan Xiaopang and Hu Ge also spoke one after another, especially Fan Xiaopang, who also shared his feelings about filming "sex scenes" with Lao Jiang.

Obviously, it was also deliberately made a point for the media. Not to mention anything else, just the word "sex scene" can get a lot of headlines.

In addition, many big-name guests also showed up one by one to support, and even Cheng Long came from other places in a hurry.

This time it's really not a play, Cao Xuan didn't see him just now, otherwise he must have a few words.

Cheng Long and Lao Jiang haven't worked together much, but Cheng Liuzi participated in Lao Jiang's "The Sun Also Rises", and the two are old acquaintances in private.

On stage, Cheng Long also said that because of his participation in the premiere, he pushed two advertisements, clamoring to make Lao Jiang lose money.

However, Boss Cao felt that with Brother Cheng Long's magical power, it was actually a good thing for his company to push these two advertisements...

After the main creator and the guests who came to join the show showed up one by one, there were two more programs, and the film officially began to premiere.

Even Cao Xuan looked at the screen curiously. After all, he had watched the original version of "Let the Bullets Fly" several times, but he had never seen the finished version of the version he played.

The plot at the beginning of "Let the Bullets Fly" is not much different from Cao Xuan's impression. Uncle Ge was robbed by the gangsters brought by Zhang Mazi while eating hot pot and singing.

It's just that the county magistrate's wife has become Fan Xiaopang. Compared with the original Liu Jialing, she is two points less mature, but her charming figure is beyond compare.

At least when many audience members saw her flirting with Zhang Mazi, they booed repeatedly.

Finally, when Zhang Mazi entered the city, Hu Ge and Jiang Wu came to present the "top hat". The movement of the two scratching their crotch made many fans of Hu Ge's face scream.

Finally, 10 minutes after the opening of the movie, Cao Xuan finally appeared.

In the beginning, he plays two roles, one is wretched and frivolous, and the other is vicious and domineering. He played his own role, which also made many audiences call it interesting.

Afterwards, Zhang Mazi had a classic dialogue with the master in the county government office, which also caused the first wave of sensation among the audience.

Earn money standing up, talking about Zhang Mazi, but also talking about Jiang Wen himself.

In fact, these words are a bit of a cursing, no matter what Lao Jiang's so-called "kneeling" refers to the audience or the capital, what he said seems to be that only he, Jiang Wen, has the backbone, and other filmmakers are begging on their knees.

Although Chinese-language movies are not very strong, and there are many bad ones, it is not the case that only Jiang Wen and "Let the Bullets Fly" stand to make money.

It's just that this is just a line. After interpreting it, everyone will make fun of it. As long as the master does not speak, there is no need to go online.

If Jiang Wen really had the courage to point at the insiders and scold him, there wouldn't be so many people cheering him on today.

If the front is foreshadowing, the emotions of many audiences are in the off-screen stories of actors such as Jiang Wen and Cao Xuan. Starting from the plot of the six sons' caesarean section, the audience gradually enters into the plot of the movie itself.

The despair and aggrieved feeling of being wronged but having nowhere to tell, and only being able to prove that he had eaten a few bowls of noodles, but no one cared about the truth, made the audience feel distressed and angry.

As an actor, Cao Xuan himself paid more attention to the performance of the actors in this scene.

You know, this scene is the turning point of the whole movie. If you can't win this scene, no matter how good the subsequent scenes are, you can't hold your breath.

To be honest, Liu Zi performed extremely well, and his eyes and expressions were extremely in place.

At that time, the crew had to film this scene for three days, that is to say, the six sons died for three days and had to undergo more than a dozen abdominal dissections to pass the test. Jiang Wen commented that he was only at this level.

Of course, this is self-effacing words. The six sons performed very well, but there are still many faults that can be picked out.

But no matter how good Lao Jiang and his acting skills are, their age and image don't match, and there are only a few people of the same age who can take this role in Cao Xuan's mind.

The more this happened, the more Cao Xuan felt sorry for his sixth son.

There are many second-generation stars in the circle, but there are too few who are talented and willing to work hard in the actor's profession.

The six sons are talented and willing to act, and his father is also devoted to his life. He has good resources and a high start. If he can go on steadily, it is hard to say whether he can become the second generation of the strongest star, but he can definitely become a representative of them.

In contrast, Cheng Liuzi, who seemed to be a brother, was much less talented, and his mind was not on actors.

Out of friendship with his father and love for talents, Cao Xuan actually persuaded him in private.

However, he is not a child, and his ideology has long been formed. Because he is the second generation of stars, he can be regarded as spoiled and spoiled. Coupled with the education of his parents, he has a strong rebellious heart.

Cao Xuan relied on his status as a senior and a big boss to say a few words. On the surface, he was obedient and clever, and benefited a lot, but only they knew how much he listened to.

After all, parents and mothers can't control it, and a senior in the same industry who can't beat him can change his past with a few words of persuasion.

Cao Xuan didn't believe it anyway.

The fate of the two of them and several other second-generation stars also made Cao Xuan more firm in the importance of family education, deeply learned lessons from them, and returned to educating and restraining his children seriously.

Prodigals are not afraid of spending money recklessly, as long as they don't gamble or start a business, Cao Xuan's family business can be spent every day standing in front of the front door and throwing coins for a lifetime.

It doesn't matter if you are not promising, Cao Xuan doesn't care if his sons and daughters are elite or not, it's fine to be ordinary.

He doesn't choose a career, as long as he abides by the law and doesn't particularly challenge his bottom line, he won't stop his children from doing anything.

But Cao Xuan is only afraid that his sons and daughters will go astray, harm others and themselves, and humiliate the lintel, so he will not be able to close his eyes when he dies...

.........

When Cao Xuan's thoughts had spread to the point where he hated iron for not being able to make steel, and under the pressure of the East and West Palaces, he righteously killed his relatives and sent his own children to prison.

The movie also really came to its first big climax-Hongmen Banquet.

What was the biggest gimmick before the release of "Let the Bullets Fly"? Eight out of ten people would answer that it was the first time that the three major movie stars collaborated.

And what I miss the most is the three people playing on the same stage.

In the previous plot, the three actors appeared on the stage separately, and completed the role, and at the same time led to the conflict of the plot. At this time, the three of them gathered at the dinner table, which immediately lifted the spirits of most of the audience.

"Master Huang's mansion is covered by bamboo forests and towering watchtowers. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Ten thousand people cannot open it."

"The county magistrate is heroic, and the master is brilliant in writing. They are a perfect match. Please, both of you."

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them came to the restaurant, where Cao Xuan and Jiang Wen confronted for the first time about the "wrong person".

Huang Silang's mouth is full of sincerity and caution, but his eyes are provocative, with a confident attitude, like a cat playing with a mouse.

The master pretends to be confused every day and hides aside to watch.

Zhang Mazi remained calm at first, but after Huang Silang made the first move, he showed his sharpness a little.

In just a few shots of dialogue, the rhythm and tension are thrown away in an instant. The performance styles of the three people in this scene are also similar to their characters.

Then spread out the plot, each has its own merits.

"The boss is often empty-handed. Every day when he opens his eyes, hundreds of people are waiting for me to serve them, eating, drinking, teasing, and drinking. There are only a few mouthfuls that actually fall into my mouth."

"We don't have the guts to suppress bandits, but we still have the guts to make money in the name of suppressing bandits, and it's very big."

"Whether it's hard or not, I'll talk about it later. I only have one thing on my mind. Connect this leg for Mr. Huang. A pockmark is too arrogant. I'm bullying Brother Huang, so I don't agree."

"I thought that if you drink the wine one sip at a time, you will walk step by step, and the steps are too big. Kah, it's easy to scratch your head."

"The lights were dim, he suddenly looked back, but I was hidden in the shadow of the lights."

"Then at that moment..."

"Exactly right now!"

"..."

Cao Xuan's performance was very aggressive, he was as impatient as a wind and a fire, and as powerful as a turbulent wave. He intended to control the rhythm and eat Jiang and Ge in one go.

Jiang Wen is as immovable as a mountain, let your swords, guns and swords rain, I see the tricks, the soldiers come to block, the water comes to cover the earth.

Both of them have a rigid line. If they fight directly, if one is not good, it will be easy to stalemate, and the two will lose and suffer a lot.

At this time, the presence of Uncle Ge, who is both right and left, played a key role.

What you play is a spring breeze, lifting weights like light, constantly acting as a lubricant, adjusting and relieving the atmosphere, and allowing this battle to continue.

A master's move is fatal.

The trinity of plot, lines, and performance, and there is no half-second soundtrack for the whole scene, the three of them did their best to support this climactic drama, and staged a peak showdown at the level of film history.

Cao Xuan raised his hand on the bottle: "Master, be tall! County magistrate, be tough!"

Jiang and Ge also raised the wine bottle: "Master Huang is tall and tough!"

When this scene ended, it was obviously a literary play, but thousands of audiences felt the countless swords, lights and swords in it, as if they had seen an extremely exciting action fight or a dazzling fireworks show, and felt hearty and hearty. endless aftertaste.

After watching this scene, Cao Xuan nodded in satisfaction, Uncle Ge looked satisfied, and Jiang Wen was unabashedly proud.

"Just for this part, this play has to be remembered by many people for ten years."

Feng's trousers were even more sore beside him. He felt that "Tangshan Earthquake" also had a few scenes that were well shot, but it was almost Xu Fan's solo role.

It's not like the three film kings on the same stage, not only the amazing performance, but also seems to have a chemical reaction, layer upon layer, complement each other, the degree of brilliance is far beyond the comparison of ordinary masterpieces.
