Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Lu Chen and Zeng Jia were also discussing this issue.

Will "Lost in Thailand" break the record?

Lu Chen's answer is yes.

"Director Lu, if "Lost in Thailand" breaks the record, Director Feng and the others will be ashamed." Zeng Jia said quietly.

Lu Chen nodded.

Definitely.

The first and second records were occupied by the two newcomers.

It will make many people feel that these old gods are dead.

When the old gods are gone, the audience will shift their targets.

It's not enough to change to another god.

Zeng Jia no longer questioned Lu Chen's opinion, but said, "Even if it doesn't break the record, "Lost in Thailand" will have a strong impact on the film industry. By the way, Director Lu, "Lost in Thailand" is so fierce, what do you think? Will other films actively avoid it?"

Zeng Jia asked curiously.

It would be fun if those old gods took the initiative to avoid them.

However, she definitely thought too much.

Of course, these directors will not choose to back down.

If you quit this time!
Doesn't it prove that he voluntarily surrendered.

If it was Lu Chen, the national teacher and the others.

They retreat and they retreat,
But the opponent is Xu Zheng, and Xu Zheng is a novice.

Surrender to the new,
They can't afford to lose face.

therefore.

Surrender is impossible,
They had only one choice, and that was to try their best to lower the score of "Lost in Thailand".

Because "Tai囧" gets better results.

The greater the stimulation to them.

So many old gods besiege a newcomer, and let the newcomer break out of the encirclement.

Wouldn't it be more proof that they can't do it?

but.

Although their response is not slow.

But who told them to choose to save face for Director Feng when they decided on the file?

more than a week,
Enough for "Lost in Thailand" to take off.

And "Lost in Thailand" did take off.

The box office on the first day has already exceeded [-] million.

There is a faint feeling that whoever touches will die,

A week later, "Blooddrop" and "The King's Feast" were the first to open.

Needless to say the quality of these two parts.

One 4.7, one 5.7.

Such a score directly failed to pose any threat to "Tai囧".

On the contrary, under the foil of them, "Lost in Thailand" gained more momentum.

Therefore, Xu Zheng's reputation has been raised again.

Two weeks later, "The Grandmaster" was launched.

In martial arts novels, the masters are all formed by chance.

Wang Jiawei has no cheats, but ten years of patience.

Although the story is still covered with a veil of mystery, it is said that Wang Jiawei is a master who doesn't even need a script, so whether this legend of the Republic of China can stand or not depends on the style.

Although the trailer released earlier received a lot of complaints, the phrase "Kung Fu, two words.

The line of "one horizontal and one vertical" is still Wang Dao.

In addition, the posture is well-prepared, Liang Yingdi and International Zhang are well-known acting schools in the circle and the posing school is eye-catching. At least the freehand version of Ip Man launched in "The Grandmaster" this time continues the authorial style of Director Wang.

Moreover, this time Wang Jiawei will no longer sing "one-man show"

The success or failure of the film therefore depends on whether Director Wang understands kung fu.

After all, no matter how dazzling the style of "The Matrix", no one would admit that Keanu Reeves played kung fu.

For "The Grandmaster", the antidote to this problem is Xu Haofeng, one of the named screenwriters.

Xu Haofeng has been obsessed with martial arts research all year round, and has written countless books. The earliest rumor about the story of "The Great Master" is that it was adapted from his novel "The Taoist Descending the Mountain".

Last year in Venice, Xu Haofeng's self-written and directed martial arts film "Traces of the Japanese Pirates" participated in the exhibition. The simple and even ugly martial arts really frightened everyone.

But this kind of simplicity is due to Xu Haofeng's many years of research, which is the real kung fu of Zheng'er Bajing.

To put it bluntly, Xu Haofeng solves the problem of kung fu, and Wang Jiawei solves the problem of how to shoot kung fu. The two complement each other perfectly.

Therefore, "The Grandmaster" should not be underestimated.

However, how to say.

The film is also polarizing.

Comments are positive and negative
The day the film was released, the reviews were mixed.

Many people praised this film in an exaggerated way, saying "The Grandmaster" is the best Chinese film this year.

For example, Shi Hang said that he watched "The Great Master" in the middle of the night and wiped his tears in the middle of the night. "All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence."

"To say that there are no regrets in life is to be arrogant... If life has no regrets, how boring it would be."

"I choose to stay in my own time." Shi Hang thinks these three lines may be plain to read, but they will move you when you hear them in the theater.

of course.

There are also opposing voices.

Why Zhang Zhen appeared in this movie, and the joyful effect that Uncle Benshan and Xiao Shenyang brought to the audience are the most questioned parts of this movie.

Twist the God of Wealth and said, Zhang Zhen went to the wrong movie.He also said: "After watching "The Grandmaster", I realized that Donnie Yen is a good actor."

Twisting God of Wealth also believes that the lines of this movie are "Jianghu Piantang Talk" plus "Chicken Soup for the Soul of Eminent Monks and Living Buddhas" divided by two.

Critics Analysis:
"The Great Master" made literary and artistic youth drunk, and ordinary youth fell asleep

When Wang Jiawei took off his sunglasses, "The Grandmaster" was no longer mysterious, and a very familiar style rushed to his face. The character modeling, screen music and even the setting of the storyline were very Wang Jiawei, as if "2046" and "In the Mood for Love" were possessed, Therefore, some people jokingly said: "The Grandmaster" is a combination of the martial arts version of "2046" and "In the Mood for Love".In fact, there are not many martial arts scenes, and Director Wang's literary style is still full.

"Lost in Thailand seems to have been shot down."

"Isn't this normal? "Lost in Thailand" has been released for nearly three weeks, so what's so unusual about the box office being knocked down on the first day?" Lu Chen said a little speechlessly.

Do you really think that Director Wang is just eating rice?
Although he is not a powerful director, his status in the circle is not low.

There is also a large wave of crowds.

In addition, the leading actors of this film are Liang Yingdi and International Zhang.

Is it so strange that the box office on the first day directly beat "Tai囧"?

"Then what do you think of "The Grandmaster"?"

"Let's put it this way, "The Grandmaster" was filmed for film critics, to use a fashionable saying - for literary youths, because the film is full of literary flavors, from pictures to actions, from dialogue to expressions, From conception to implication, it is simply a beautiful prose, and for audiences who like to beat words and artistic conceptions, this movie can definitely make them feel truly satisfied."

"What do you mean?" Zeng Jia didn't understand what Lu Chen wanted to say for a while.

"Look on the Internet, the film critics and reporters who watched the movie first are already intoxicated." Lu Chen said quietly.

Let's say that.

There is such a metaphor on the Internet.

If you collect the lines in "The Great Master", it must be a beautiful collection of prose, the sentences are very poetic and rich in preaching and philosophy, without a word of nonsense, it can be called a pearl.

However, it is friendly to these literary youths.

But for those viewers who really like martial arts and kung fu, it's really not very friendly.

This film is amazing and gorgeous in the rain for ten minutes at the beginning, and then enters a period of dull torment.

Some viewers said that the preaching flavor in the film is as strong as the Kung Fu Emperor's version of "Fearless", and it has always talked about the principles of life.

Besides.

For many viewers who like to watch martial arts, they don't like Director Wang's movie style at all.

It's not a problem that only arises with this movie.

It is a problem that has accumulated from several previous films.

This has nothing to do with the level of appreciation, but the relationship between radish and green vegetables.

It is understandable for them to see snoring, and there should be quite a few viewers who feel distressed and even snore.

However, because this schedule does not have a very decent martial arts movie.

Therefore, "The Grandmaster" is quite popular.

After all, by comparison.

"The Grandmaster" is already the best movie in this schedule.

Especially against the backdrop of "The King's Feast" and "Blood Droplets".

The audience directly pinned all their hopes of watching martial arts on "The Great Master", at least to relieve their anger like Donnie Yen's "Ip Man",
However, the audience is still wishful thinking.

Two days later.

A topic on the Internet rushed directly to the hot search.

"If "[-]" was released at the same time as "Lost in Thailand" but "The Grandmaster", then "The Grandmaster" would still lose miserably at the box office."

It directly triggered discussions among countless netizens.

So, under such a topic.

Many people think that the box office of the grand master will not be too high.

Because there are too many viewers who want to watch martial arts instead of Wong Kar Wai Style.

such a result.

It directly makes it difficult for countless people in the industry to accept.

"Lost in Thailand" wasn't that good.

But who told the opponent to set off well?
It is a film that abruptly sets off "Lost in Thailand" to a phenomenal level.

Do you believe it?
Such luck for Xu Zheng!
It directly makes countless people unbelievable.

……

Huayi.

Director Feng couldn't believe this result: "A top director has appeared in the industry again, and this top director was actually promoted by us abruptly."

Xu Zheng defeated him.

It can only show that he missed, Xu Zheng is indeed a bit level.

But Xu Zheng would never be praised so highly.

Everyone can accept the occasional miss by a powerful director.

But now.

"[-]" failed.

"Blood Droplet" failed.

"The King's Feast" also failed.

Now "The Grandmaster" also has a tendency to lose.

Boss Huang said with a wry smile: "His promotion speed is much faster than that of Lu Chen before. It's a trend that stands out from the crowd. Our film's box office was reduced to a few million yesterday. It's too miserable."

He had never seen such a miserable Feng Xiaogang.

I have never seen Xu Zheng who was promoted so quickly.

Director Feng, who was pointing at Lu Chen and scolding him strangely before, doesn't even want to say anything now.

The slap came too fast.

……

Star Media
"Director Feng is too miserable this time." Zeng Jia also sighed.

All available tricks have been used.

It doesn't work.

The box office of "[-]" just didn't rise.

"It can only be said that if the director only makes himself happy, the audience will definitely not make him happy." Lu Chen still sees this clearly.

It's cool for yourself, or it's cool for the audience!
It's actually a very good choice.

But these directors want to reflect their depth.

My own style as an artist.

I chose to be cool.

There is no way.

The audience can only make him unhappy.

Director Feng was not like this before, but since he was promoted to a powerful director.

It may be because of the identity of the master.

Let him feel that a master must have the attitude of a master.

therefore.

Bow to the audience is definitely not what a master should do.

and so.

He is getting more and more rambunctious.

This is a common phenomenon among master directors like them.

Not exceptional at all.

Jiang Wen, Guo Shi, Chen Kaige... and Wang Jiawei are all such people.

After being promoted, he began to let himself go completely.

"Let's start the promotion. Now that Xu Zheng has been promoted, let me tell these directors what a real commercial blockbuster is." Lu Chen said confidently.

Xu Zheng's blow directly stunned everyone.

Then it's up to him.

There is still an opponent waiting for him during the Spring Festival!

It wasn't just Lu Chen's fault that Director Feng conceded in advance.

Another reason is that Master Xing's "Conquering the Devil" is also scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Under the circumstances that three blockbuster films were released at the same time.

His "[-]" was definitely the one that got crushed.

therefore.

Director Feng chose to withdraw from the Spring Festival stalls.

Early release.

"You want to beat Master Xing?" Zeng Jia said hesitantly.

"Yes, believe it or not, Master Xing will definitely follow in the footsteps of Director Feng and the others. Maybe, "Conquering the Devil" will be the last glow of Master Xing. Therefore, I plan to cool Master Xing down."

Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons is a good movie, and Lu Chen also admits this.

It can be said that this film is a summary of Master Xing's own film path.

Now many people on the Internet believe that the star who has reappeared in the film industry after a few years is trying to earn the glory of "A Chinese Journey to the West".

Unfortunately, everyone was wrong.

Master Xing still made a good movie for us.The plot is compact, well-planned, exaggerated and relaxed, with emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, and the observation angles are all macroscopic.

Very lifelike and mysterious.

However, since it is a summary.

Then Lu Chen prepared to let him be the summary, to cool down Master Xing.

At the same time, it also cools down the circle of directors who admire the attitude of masters.

Then the problem is coming.

How to cool down?

Of course it is to defeat the opponent directly.

Make the opponent unable to afford the courage to fight with him.

"Conquering the Devil" is very good,
But Lu Chen believes that his "Fast and Furious 1" is better.

"This……"

At this moment, Zeng Jia didn't know what to say.

I can only lament that Director Lu has silently contributed to Huaguo's film industry.

Changed the subject.

Zeng Jia asked quietly: "By the way, Director Lu, Jackie Chan's "Zodiac" and Zhou Runfa's "The Great Devil" are about to be released. Do you think "Tai囧" will be shot down?"

Lu Chen heard what Zeng Jia said.

The expression became subtle in an instant.

One hit four is not enough,
Ready to hit six?
Sending people's heads doesn't seem to be done like this, does it?
First of all, let's talk about "The Chinese Zodiac".

After being away from playing for many years, Uncle Long returned to battle in his 100th movie.

This is a treasure-hunting story that appears in every three films in which Uncle Long participated in his peak period, and the signature Uncle Long-style fighting will also fill the whole film.

However, if Lu Chen remembers correctly, this movie is special "Flying Eagle Project".

Even the juggling gum-eating action in "Flying Eagle Project" has continued.

you could put it that way.

If there is no complex, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced. Turn left or right when you go out.

As for "Magic City".

Hearing that the director's name is Wang Jing, everyone immediately understood.

In the past few years, Director Wang spent most of his time playing tickets, "Priceless Treasure", "Marry a Man with 100 Scores", which one is not B52 in bad movies?

But it is undeniable that Director Wang also tried his best to make some good films, but whether it is "Future Police" or the earlier "Empire of Money", there is a sense of helplessness that is more than enough.

You will find that Director Wang's jokes are too old, and his control has been completely wiped out because of the long-term neglect of the battle. How do you say it?

Lian Po is old.

Thinking of Lu Chen here, he felt a little regretful.

A one-in-six chance.

He actually gave it up to Xu Zheng.

Against the background of these six films, Xu Zheng could not even enter the ranks of powerful directors.

It's almost there.

Let's say that.

The sum of "Zodiac" and "The Great Devil" is not enough for "Tai囧" to play with one hand.

Now I finally know how bad Xu Zheng's luck is.

"Zodiac" is really not a bad movie, not to mention that Jackie Chan is 3 years older than Uncle Ge and Uncle Benshan, and he still has to fight on the screen, just talk about roller skaters, space skydiving, metal detectors, and antique factories , The authenticity of these reliable high-tech displays can not help but remind people of the "Mission: Impossible" series. Uncle Long's low-protection jumping from the plane is not inferior to Tom Cruise's jumping from the Burj Khalifa.

In addition, the level of scene scheduling and the intensity of laughs in the fighting on the island are much more mature and meticulous than the road chase in "Tai囧".

However, Xu Zheng's debut still beat Uncle Long's final action.

The reason is actually very simple.

That is, "Tai囧" has hollowed out the expectations and impulses of watching movies in comedy, and the market growth is sluggish.

If Uncle Long is released at another time.

If it doesn't work out, the box office may double.

But it was chosen to be released in this time period dominated by "Tai囧".

It is destined to be unfavorable.

Now everyone only cares about "囧囧" in their hearts, so why would they want to watch "The Chinese Zodiac".

Seeing Lu Chen's subtle expression, Zeng Jia was stunned for a moment: "No way, Director Lu, this is Uncle Long and Brother Fa. With such a strong starring lineup, the box office appeal is hard to say."

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Sister Jia, you forgot that the Kung Fu Emperor was just taught to be a man by us."

"No way?"

"The bad movies they made are not less than those made by the Kung Fu Emperor. The so-called box office appeal has already been squandered. To put it bluntly, the two of them together may not be able to beat Tang Lei."

some exaggeration,

But it is true.

Tang Lei's current popularity is really no worse than Uncle Long's peak.

Of course, that is more than appeal.

If it is compared to status.

Together, Tang Lei and Lu Chen may not be able to do better than these two.

After thinking about it, Lu Chen said directly, "Why don't we also contribute."

Zeng Jia was speechless about Lu Chen's confidence.

According to Lu Chen's thinking, since they like giving away heads so much.

That would be disrespectful.

Since you want to create a god, then make it more thorough.

At this moment, Lu Chen really envied Xu Zheng's luck.

be honest.

If there was no "Eight Hundred" at the beginning.

Lu Chen also plans to make a fortune during this schedule.

who knows,
His luck is not bad, and he was able to encounter projects like "Eight Hundred" in advance.

Complete the promotion ahead of schedule.

If according to Lu Chen's plan, this schedule will be his ascension time.
