Chapter 305 "Ip Man 2"

At 6 o'clock the next morning, Liu Yifei got up and went out to practice.

Cheng Yu'an prepared breakfast at home at eight o'clock, and Liu Yifei just came back.

After taking a shower, Liu Yifei was embarrassed:
"If I don't practice, I really don't know that I have regressed so much. I can hardly read a tongue twister."

She said that she wanted to get rid of the label of fairy sister, but she lacked action.If Cheng Yu'an hadn't said something to her, she would have been so lazy forever.

After breakfast, Cheng Yuan came to the company.

Both "The Dark Side" and "A Little Thing About First Love" are back from filming.

The editors of the two crews are working overtime to catch up with the progress. Cheng Yu'an will bring the clips or rough cuts of these two films to Cannes to sell the films next month.

Guo Fei was behind him, and Cheng Yu'an asked her, "How did you go with Ren Zhonglun and Yu Dong?"

Guo Fei said with a smile: "They are willing to pay more than 2000 million US dollars. Ren Zhonglun is even willing to exchange Jackie Chan's "Zodiac" with us."

"Isn't that ridiculous! "The Chinese Zodiac" Shanghai Film Group can't be the master, he can't convince Jackie Chan and Hua Yi."

Cheng Yu'an let Ren Chonglun willing to exchange "Zodiac" for investment, which is indeed a bit unexpected.

The news of this film came out very early. Jackie Chan has always emphasized that this is his last "fight with his life" action film: "In the future, action films will be made, but "Zodiac" will be a film with intense fighting. The last one."

Guo Fei said: "That's why I didn't agree to him. Yu Dong couldn't produce any decent films, so he called for 3500 million US dollars."

"Hey! Really rich!" Even Cheng Yu'an had to admit that this price made him very tempted.

"In the afternoon, go meet Xingmei's Tan Hong and see what he has to say."

"You want to play him up?"

"Although Xingmei's production and distribution are mediocre, his theater chain is very strong. Take our theater manager to talk to Xingmei."

"Can he be willing?"

"I'm not going to buy his theater chain, but just to see if we can cooperate more deeply in the theater chain. Let's make a shot if there is a date or not."

"Okay, I'll see him in the afternoon." Guo Fei replied.

Throughout April, it was a bit lifeless.

At the beginning of the month, "The Full Moon Hennessy" was released, and Tang Wei and Zhang Xueyou collaborated on a literary film.

The name is quite romantic, but the response is mediocre.

Jiang Wenli's directorial debut "See You in Heaven" was well-received, but as a debut, Jiang Wenli completed it very beautifully, not even like a novice.

What caused a little bit of repercussions was Xu Cainv's new work "Du Lala's Promotion", which was released in the middle of the month, and brought her boyfriend to play a wave of presence.

Super narcissist Liu Yunlong's screen debut "Eastern Wind and Rain" was even worse, with a box office of 1500 million in the first week, which was crushed by "Du Lala's Promotion" which was released for two weeks with a score of 4100 million.

Fan Xiaopang was successfully promoted from "Box Office Poison" to "Box Office Crane Top Red".

Xiaopang’s title of “Box Office Poison” has been around for a long time. In 08, “Road to Home” performed poorly. His hat was put on at this time.

Last year, "The Wheat Field" was favored by the industry. I thought it would exceed 1000 million yuan, but under the joint strangulation of "Founding of a Nation" and "The Wind", the total box office was only [-] million. Therefore, Fan Xiaopang was ridiculed by the industry and the audience as "box office box office". Crane crest is red", and now the failure of this "Eastern Wind and Rain" has made her even more convinced of this title.

The slump throughout April made the audience look forward to the upcoming May [-]st.

Especially the remote "Ip Man 2: The Legend of the Grand Master".

"Ip Man 2" hit the headlines on May 27st on the [-]th.

Judging from the previous screenings and the media field, both the audience and the media are very appreciative of the sequel, especially the second part of the literary drama:
"The comedy content of "Ip Man 2" has greatly increased compared with the first one, and it is very joyful to watch."

"The family scenes in the movie also moved the audience. Ip Man tried his best to take care of his wife and son, helping to carry water and give massages. He had a gentle image of a good husband and a good father. He asked Hong Jinbao whether he would rather eat with his family or fight." When Hong Jinbao saw his wife leading a group of daughters out, and being hugged by his son, everything was self-evident. These plots all showed that the hero Ip Man is not only a good man who loves his family but also cares about his family. "

"Zhen Bullet's acting skills are excellent, and he is both civil and military."

Zhen Zizi knew that his literary and opera skills were weak, so he asked for more literary and opera in the second part. Facts have proved that he did a good job.

But there are also negative reviews, mainly dissatisfaction with the old-fashioned plot:
""Ip Man 2" has not changed much in terms of plot design, and basically follows the routine of the previous one to advance the development of the plot."

"Jin Shanxun starring Fan Shaohuang and Hong Zhennan starring Bao, Zhou Qingquan starring Ren Dahua and newspaper editor-in-chief Gen Ge, patrolman Li Zhao played by Cui Peng, and police officer played by Zheng Zeshi, the six characters in the two films are similar in pairs, and "" The British boxing champion who played a role in promoting the plot in "Ip Man 2" is a replica of the Japanese general Sanpo starring Hiroyuki Nakaike in the first film."

"The great success of "Ip Man" at the beginning was largely due to the fact that Ip Man's resistance against the Japanese aroused a strong sense of national pride among the Chinese people. "Ip Man 2" has a similar plot arrangement... Only by beating foreigners can arouse national pride?"

What I said is not unreasonable, but the definition of the entire "Ip Man" series is kung fu movies, and this arrangement is the safest and best to operate.

Ye Weixin used Hong Zhennan's death to arouse the audience's emotions, and finally let Ye Wen defeat the tornado. Many viewers bluntly said, "Hong Zhennan selflessly made Ye Wen's wedding dress."

So far, the evaluation has been positive and negative, but generally speaking, it is mostly positive.

But Brother Xiao Ming provoked the anger of the public.

Audiences and film critics accused him one after another: "Huang Xiaoming, who always likes to pose for the camera, has not restrained himself this time. In many fight scenes in "Ip Man 2", Huang Xiaoming's movements are designed to be a bit simple, but they are close-ups everywhere. , it is inevitable to make people wonder if Huang Xiaoming is showing off his appearance again?"

"Zhen Juan is in charge of Ip Man, and Huang Xiaoming is in charge of 2."

This is extremely harmful.

But Huang Xiaoming also has a big heart: "Filmmakers are all duds, so it's normal to be dicks. The filmmakers here are all dicks...it seems because the director wants me to be in charge of the comedy part, so that the whole film is more humorous and younger."

Sitting in the audience, Cheng Yu'an sometimes admired Huang Xiaoming, and his dedication to work was undeniable.

Xiao Ming now has the momentum of No.1 of the younger generation, and he is willing to come to "Ip Man 2" to play a supporting role that does not have many plays. You can say that he can take advantage of the popularity of "Ip Man", but he really contributes to his work. I think Try more possibilities.

Cheng Yu'an said at the premiere scene: "The "Ip Man" series will continue. The basic idea of ​​the third part is already in place, but it will take a little longer. Because the first two parts consumed us too much energy, we have to think again. How to do the third part."

When asked about the May 2 duel with "Iron Man [-]", Cheng Yu'an replied: "I believe we will have the last laugh."

You must not be cowardly when you shout before the screening.

In fact, Cheng Yu'an was right. In the Mainland and Hong Kong Island markets, the total box office of "Ip Man 2" was higher than that of "Iron Man 2".

The Marvel Universe hasn't taken shape yet, and it's time for him to kill the world when the Avengers comes.
