Chapter 960 Questions from film critics (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

While Wu Jianye was waiting for the members of the "Inception" crew to come here at Tangting Culture, Li Na had already delivered the box office of "Eternal Night".

At this time, it has been more than a month since "Eternal Night" was released.

The box office has also reached 1.65 million, becoming the highest-grossing movie since the beginning of this year, surpassing the Hollywood blockbuster "True Lies" released last year.

In another time and space, "True Lies" got a super high box office of 1.03 million, but in this time and space, the box office of "True Lies" exceeded 1.5 million!
This is all thanks to the emergence of Fengge Cinemas.

Xiangjiang's box office has also officially exceeded 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, but this movie obviously has no strength in Xiangjiang. It is estimated that the final box office will be around 5500 million!

However, this is already a very good result.

Subsequently, the box office in Asia as a whole has also exceeded 4500 million U.S. dollars, while the box office in Europe and the United States has exceeded 7000 million U.S. dollars!
The global box office is converted into RMB 11.80 billion in total!
It is expected that the final box office will reach about 15 billion yuan!

Once the box office was reported, it caused quite a stir. In fact, other domestic film companies or studios only announced their domestic box office, and rarely announced overseas box office.

However, Tangting Culture was all reported, and many people privately said that this was Wu Jianye's confidence.

However, some caring people still saw the problem. For example, the box office of the movie "Eternal Night" in Europe and the United States could not be compared with Wu Jianye's previous movie "The World of Chu Xing".

The movie "The World of Chu Xing" was released in North America, and the box office in the first week has already exceeded 5500 million US dollars, and the final North American box office has reached more than 1.5 million US dollars.

And now "Eternal Night" has been released in Europe and America for nearly a month, with a total box office of only about 7000 million U.S. dollars. In the end, the combined box office in Europe and the United States is estimated to be about [-] million U.S. dollars. There is no way to compare with " Chu Xing's World" compared!
After seeing such an analysis, some domestic filmmakers stepped forward one after another.

"The film directed by Wu Jianye lacks the connotation of the story, which is the ultimate reason for his failure. We all know that the box office of Wu Jianye's last film "The World of Chu Xing" reached 1.5 million in North America. The movie "Night" was released in Europe and America with a box office of only 7000 million U.S. dollars. According to the forecast of the North American authoritative organization, the box office of this movie in North America is at most around 6000 million U.S. dollars, while the box office in Europe is 4000 million!"

"I think this should be where Wu Jianye needs to make a review. When you try to please the audience more, the movies you make will actually be less accepted by the audience. The last film "The World of Chu Xing" What a good idea, and it is precisely because of such a story structure that the movie "The World of Chu Xing" can achieve such brilliant achievements. Now this "Eternal Night", I only see special effects full of screens. But didn't see the real story."

"The failure of Wu Jianye's "Eternal Night" is that he paid too much attention to the special effects of the film. As everyone knows, the special effects of the film should serve the content of the film's story. At the same time, I also saw another problem with Wu Jianye's film. , that is, there are many characters on stage, and there may even be some situations where the primary and secondary are not distinguished in the first half of the movie. These are the problems of this movie. Good group drama is still one of his weaknesses!"

Although Wu Jianye has a great influence in the country, you can't cover the sky with one hand after all, especially some people who don't rely on making movies but just play tricks. Naturally, they don't have that much authority over Wu Jianye. Afraid.

In China's thousands of years of history, there has never been a shortage of people who challenge the authority. Some people really think that the authority is wrong, so they insist on challenging the authority for their own hearts.

There are also people who want to be famous, and the fastest way to become famous is to challenge the authority. When you knock down the authority, you are the authority.

It's like the media, they like to make gods, but after they succeed in making gods, what they want more is to knock down the authority. The pleasure of controlling the fate of the authority makes them flock to it.

What's more, audiences enjoy watching these, too.

The appearance of Wu Jianye not only made the core business of the film industry, such as film production and release, several years earlier, but also drove some other peripheral businesses, such as film reviews.

Although there are no professional film critics yet, there are already many professional filmmakers who have published their views on a certain film in various film magazines.

This is actually the job of a film critic.

At the same time, there are many movie magazines and entertainment magazines in China, and it is no longer the time for "popular movies" to dominate the world.

"Movie Age", "Image Dialogue", "Movie You, Me and Him".
A series of film magazines have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Although they can't challenge the authority of "Popular Movies", they have already formed a siege.

This is a matter of another world!
At this time, as "Eternal Night" is more than halfway through its release, many film magazines have begun to publish their opinions on the movie "Eternal Night".

As I said just now, even if Wu Jianye is the No.1 domestic movie at this time, he still can't cover the sky with one hand.

Therefore, many teachers from acting schools, down-and-out filmmakers who graduated without making movies, and people who have never been in this industry before, as long as their comments are eye-catching enough, they can still attract the attention of many readers.

These people have become regular visitors to various film magazines.

Wu Jianye's debut was at the pinnacle, and the director's first film "Raise the Red Lantern" won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Since then, he has started his own cheating life. In his career of more than ten years, he has always been No.1 in the domestic film industry. There is nothing more eye-catching than challenging Wu Jianye's authority!

So when the movie "Eternal Night" appeared, these people seemed to have their own carnival, and published some of their opinions on the movie "Eternal Night" in various magazines!

Now on Wu Jianye's desk, there are not only the box office records of the movie "Eternal Night", but also the opinions of various people on the movie "Eternal Night" published in these movie magazines.

The tone is relatively good, saying that Wu Jianye's mistake this time does not mean anything, it is just a mistake, after all, anyone may make a mistake.

If the tone is not good, let’s just say that Wu Jianye is exhausted. At the same time, the movie "Eternal Night" also completely exposed one of Wu Jianye's shortcomings, that is, he can't shoot group scenes well.
At the same time, he also said that the fact that this film was not selected for the main competition of any film festival is a good proof
For a while, Wu Jianye received countless doubts!
"These people are too much, why don't they talk about the box office of this movie!" Li Na said a little aggrieved.

The box office of the movie "Eternal Night" is still the top in the country, and it is unmatched by anyone.

Wu Jianye chuckled, and said: "Mouths are on people's faces, so you can say whatever you want, leave them alone!"

Li Na said dissatisfiedly: "But if they say that, many people will not go to the cinema to watch our movie. If it weren't for their nonsense, the box office of our movie would be higher!"

"Okay, there's no need to talk nonsense to this kind of people. Believe it or not, the more you talk to them, the happier they will be." Wu Jianye understands the nature of these people too well. To put it bluntly, they just want you to fight back. Fight back, the hotter they get, the hotter they get, the more money they make
As long as you can make money, what is your face?
"Are you not angry at all?" Li Na looked at Wu Jianye suspiciously.

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Do you think I look angry?"

Li Na took a serious look at Wu Jianye, and then said very firmly: "Like!"

Wu Jianye laughed. Li Na has been with her for several years, and she knows herself quite well. Although Wu Jianye said that the more she talked to them, the happier they would be, but Wu Jianye was never someone who said If they let go of themselves, they have to admit their people with a smile.

Now Wu Jianye is nothing more than waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to slap them in the face.

And this opportunity won't be too far away, it's coming soon!
At this time, someone came in and reported: "The front and backstage of "Inception" are all gathered in the conference room!"

Wu Jianye got up, left his office and went directly to the conference room.

Except for the assistant director Ding Sheng, everyone behind the scenes is old acquaintances. Of course, no introduction is needed. All the actors in front of the stage were also present.

The dream thief Chen Daoxuan, the dream builder Zhou Gongzi, the outpost Xu Zheng, the pretender Duan Yihong, the phantom Zhu Zhu, the tycoon Jiang Yun, the target Huang Xiaochu, and the pharmacist Liu Yunlong.

There are also some other actors.

There are almost 20 people in the entire conference room!
"I'm very happy. After the new year, I saw that everyone can maintain their figure very well!" Wu Jianye made a joke, and everyone laughed out loud.

In fact, whether it is a TV series or a film crew, they all hate festivals. One is to increase costs, and the other is to worry that some actors will not be able to control their mouths during the festival and make their bodies look out of shape!

When everyone calmed down, Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"The first thing we have called together this time is to let everyone get acquainted with each other. After all, in the next few months, we will be working together to make a film, and the other is to announce the official start time of the crew!"

"The crew will give one month to get everyone familiar with the script and each other. One month later, that is, on March 3, the movie "Inception" will be officially launched. At the same time, there will be a launch event before that." ceremony!"

Because of some plots in the movie "Inception", the background of the movie is not in China, but in Haojiang.

There is no way, only one of them, about Chen Daoxuan, the dream thief, who was sued for killing his wife and fled overseas, and the tycoon Jiang Yan can help him dismiss these prosecutions with a single phone call, it is impossible to put such a plot in China It would kill the whole movie.

Wu Jianye's movies are not good either!
Regarding the plot background, Wu Jianye does not intend to change it. After all, the element of family affection is a very important element in the movie, and it is one of the elements that can arouse the audience's empathy the most.

So after some consideration, Wu Jianye decided to place the movie in Haojiang.

As for the one-month preparation time, it was not decided by Wu Jianye arbitrarily. First of all, the filming locations of the movie "Inception" are spread across several countries, and the set of some places needs to be prepared now.

At the same time, your train that appears in the movie also needs to be prepared in advance.

In order to pursue the authenticity of this movie, many scenes will be shot in real locations, and they will not be shot in a studio at all. This is also to provide the audience with a more authentic picture.

At the same time, some actors also have to apply for visas to go abroad, which takes time.

All these Wu Jianye explained at this meeting.

Naturally, everyone had no opinion.

Both Chen Daoxuan and Zhu Yan had worked with Wu Jianye before, so they naturally knew Wu Jianye's pursuit of filming, so they didn't feel anything about the filming plan proposed by Wu Jianye.

It was Xu Zheng, who was working with Wu Jianye for the first time, who were really surprised in their hearts. They didn't expect to fly the entire crew to five or six countries in order to shoot a movie. This kind of thing is still common in China. First case!
When everyone was just familiar with filming in Hengdian, Wu Jianye had already started to take the film crew overseas to shoot scenes, which is not insignificant.

However, these young people are still very excited. After all, this is a legitimate opportunity to go abroad. Many of them have never been abroad.

Especially for an actor like Duan Yihong, with his family background, even in China, he has only traveled from his hometown to Yanjing, and has never been to other places. Now he is going to go abroad soon. Thinking about it, I still have some expectations.

"I believe everyone knows the rules of my filmmaking. During the filming period, I hope that every actor will show your professional attitude. I don't want unprofessional situations to appear at that time. Don't blame me for turning around and cursing others!"

Wu Jianye once again emphasized the discipline of the crew. In fact, Wu Jianye would emphasize his discipline in filming every time before starting the film. This has become an iron rule during the preparation of each new crew.

Everyone knew the name of Wu Jianye's tyrant on the set, so when Wu Jianye announced this discipline, everyone took it to heart.

No one took it seriously!

Then Wu Jianye announced some things, and then took everyone to Zhu Xinzhuang's Tangting shooting base. He came here not for shooting, but to let everyone get acquainted with each other and before the filming started. movie plot.

Every day after that, everyone would come here, even the press conference of "Inception" was held here.

At the same time, there will be a special car to pick you up and drop you off every day, which saves everyone from worrying about the future.

A week later, many movie magazines and TV stations in China received the notification of the press conference of "Inception"!
