Light and shadow player

Chapter 518
Crime suspense is a very important genre in genre films and it is easy to be a dark horse.

But it is a pity that domestic crime suspense films are born with deformities due to national conditions.

Fortunately, in the past two years, many high-quality crime films have come out.

Let’s not talk about it, last year I went to two crime movies, “Frontier” and “Manslaughter”.

The word-of-mouth of the two films is good, but only "Manslaughter" has achieved a satisfactory box office: 3.67 million, setting a new box office record for domestic crime films.

But for the upcoming "National Witness", the company doesn't expect much - just pay back.

This movie adopts the set of reasoning of Western courts - it is inherently inconsistent with the national conditions.

In addition, Xin Yukun used a lot of "fancy" editing techniques in this movie, which may cause pressure for ordinary audiences to watch the movie.

Therefore, even if this movie has a lineup like Zhou Gongzi + Sun Honglei + Zhu Yawen, the company didn't want to say that it could reproduce the success of "Manslaughter".

But the premiere of "National Witness" still caused a movie-watching boom.

One is that "Bandit" Sun Honglei changed his previous screen image and played a good father.

Anyway, that's what the media reported.

As a result, Sun Honglei complained bitterly at the scene: "When Kun'er came to me, I didn't want to accept it when I heard it was a crime movie again. I said that I was about to be labeled as a professional bandit by the audience, and I didn't want to play criminals anymore. If you want me to say that your company The director is really shameless and shameless, once he has identified a person, he has to sign him with shamelessness." The latter sentence was said to the remote executives at the premiere scene, which caused the audience to laugh, "Xin Yukun is always on the same page every three days. He called me, invited him to dinner and to play ball. Then he told me that this time he would not play the role of a criminal, but play the role of a father.

"After listening to it, I felt that it was still a bit off-putting, so I agreed to read the script first, and the subsequent cooperation will be a matter of course."

Sun Honglei can be said to be the Mesozoic who has the most cooperation with long-distance.

Starting from "Latent", to "Front and Cloud" to "The Guy in My Body" and now "National Witness".

There is a lack of middle-aged actors, and Sun Honglei's image and acting skills are really suitable for these dramas. The relationship between the two parties has always been very good, and they have always cooperated.

The second reason is that "Red Sorghum" will be simulcast on Channel [-] on National Day, and "National Witness" Zhou Gongzi + Zhu Yawen has a very good warm-up effect.

The scene also specially left a gap for the two to promote "Red Sorghum".

"Filming with Sister Xun was very nervous," Zhu Yawen told an anecdote about filming at the scene, "You can handle her no matter how you play, but the scene where she bounces back can eat you whole."

"I was very nervous at the beginning of this scene. I told Director Xin Yukun, if it doesn't work, you should change someone. I can't handle it." Zhu Yawen recalled the two months of filming with Sun Honglei and Mr. Zhou, nervous, afraid, I was afraid that I would embarrass the company if I couldn't catch the show.

"No, no," Mr. Zhou argued, "Yawen is actually a very talented actor. He will be a little slow in the beginning, but he will get better and better later on."

"I have learned a lot from the two seniors in the past two months on the set."

Sun Honglei was "unhappy": "I will become a senior?"

"Don't make trouble, people in their 40s are still pretending to be young." Mr. Zhou exposed Sun Honglei unceremoniously.

Mr. Zhou's popularity among passers-by is obviously better than that of the original version of Yu Nan, and Zhu Yawen lost too much to Guo Fucheng.

But at this time, Xin Yukun was a few blocks away from Feixing.

Through the perfect performance of "Manslaughter", Xin Yukun has accumulated a group of crime movie fans.

Many people bought tickets for the director's name.

"It's a good story. The domestic crime suspense film is tentatively ranked second, and "Manslaughter" is the first."

"The structure is very good, and the script is also good, but in terms of camera language, Xin Yukun is not as mature as in "Manslaughter", even a little naive."

"The role of Zhou Li is actually not attractive. Mr. Zhou will take it, probably because he has taken a fancy to the whole story, and he has an irresistible relationship with the producer Cheng Yu'an. Such a role can't be smashed in her hands. It's a very mature performance, but it's not easy. No surprises."

"In terms of surprises, the performance of my daughter Lin Mengmeng is eye-catching. Deng Jiajia became famous for her role as the little aunt in "Love Apartment", but she was not framed in sitcoms, but instead continued to broaden her acting path. "Witness of the People" Really outstanding performance.”

The September file of "National Witness" is not a good schedule, but it also squeezed two movies to compete with it-"The Smurfs 9" and the Russian blockbuster "Cross Fire" introduced by Huaxia Film.

The latter is nothing to worry about, as there is no domestic market for Russian films.

Animated films such as "The Smurfs 2" have had some impact on "National Witness". The first daily report was 716 million. "National Witness" received 2 million.

It became the second highest box office on the first day of this month. The first was the blockbuster movie "Elysium" starring Matt Damon released last week, with 1440 million on the first day.

From the beginning, "National Witness" is a little sorry for its starring lineup.

Popular stars still can't afford an unpopular subject.

It may also be related to the serious narrative of "National Witness". The overall atmosphere of this movie is a little tense, which may not be so pleasing to the audience at this stage.

…………

On the 22nd, Cheng Yuan came to Qingdao to support Lao Wang.

Really big money, 300 billion investment in the construction of Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis.

If Lao Wang doesn't make a move, that's all. A move is an investment of tens of billions.

Long-distance cooperation with Wanda is very good. The AMC theater chain in the United States is very face-saving. A big animation company is too far ahead and short of cash flow.

Cheng Yu'an had to remember this love.

At the scene of the groundbreaking ceremony, a red carpet was arranged according to the specifications of the film festival.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kate Beckinsale and other Hollywood superstars were all present.

In the Chinese film industry, Zhang Ziyi, Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei, Zhen Ziyi, Xu Shanzheng, Huang Xiaoming, etc. also attended to help out.

The most exaggerated are not these stars, the most exaggerated are CAA, WME and other four major talent agencies in the world, Warner, Universal and other Hollywood six, as well as the presidents or chairman of Lions Gate and Weinstein Films, all present!
There are also American Oscar Academy Chairman Isaac, former Chairman Hawke, CEO Hudson, and American Motion Picture Association Chief Operating Officer Michael Robinson are all here!

Compared with these great figures, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Changtian seemed too humble at the scene.

He could only watch Cheng Yu'an chatting and laughing with these people eagerly, talking about some Hollywood movie projects, the president of the Sixth University took the initiative to offer the project to Cheng Yu'an to participate in the investment.

Which other filmmakers in China have this kind of treatment.

Leonardo joked with Cheng Yuan at the scene that if you need me in your next script, I can set aside a whole year for it.

Pharaoh was in high spirits at the scene!
Announced that starting from 2016, the International Film Festival will be held in Qingdao every September.

During the film festival, Oscar Day is set up, and the Oscar Academy organizes a series of themed activities.At the same time, the world's four major artist brokerage companies promise to invite 30 international first-line superstars and directors to participate in the Qingdao International Film Festival every year. Currently, the International Film Festival is applying for approval from the relevant state departments.

Lao Wang said at the meeting: "If Wanda does not do it, it must be the best in the industry. This launch ceremony has already been evaluated by the outside world, and it has a higher starting point than the three existing domestic film festivals. I believe that, The first Qingdao International Film Festival in 2016 will definitely be very exciting and successful. I set a positioning goal for Qingdao International Film Festival, and strive to become one of the three most famous film festivals in the world in three to five years."

Cheng Yu'an looked at the high-spirited Lao Wang on the stage from the guest seat, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
