1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 386 Shocked, it turns out that the singer is so good at fighting!
Of course, not all of them are optimistic about Jiang Xiaofeng. There are also many colleagues in the circle who belittle or disdain him.

For example, the Wang brothers of Huayi Brothers and Yu Dong of Bona Pictures are particularly not optimistic about the movie "Ip Man".

In their view, it would be difficult for "Ip Man" starring Jiang Xiaofeng to reproduce the high box office of "Waiting Alone" with Jiang Xiaofeng alone without Zhou Jielun joining in to help.

Moreover, the golden age of kung fu movies has passed. Except for Jackie Chan and Sister Li Lian, only Donnie Yen is okay. Others like Wu Jing, Zhao Wenzhuo and Wu Yue can't carry the box office.

The most critical reason is that the styles of Wu Jing, Zhao Wenzhuo, and Wu Yue are not distinctive enough. Although the three of them are from martial arts backgrounds, their skills, appearance, temperament, and even aura are far inferior to Li Lianjie.

In Chuanwu, there is a big mountain like Li Lianjie blocking them, which makes it difficult for them to make a breakthrough, because they can't get through at all. Unless they change the track, it will be difficult to overtake in corners.

Moreover, Yu Dong and Wang Zhonglei did not believe that Jiang Xiaofeng, who was filming a kung fu movie for the first time, could establish a new martial arts style among the kung fu stars.

Yu Dong was holding back his anger and couldn't say it in public. He could only complain to his wife Zang Lilu in front of her: "Who is Ip Man? Who knows Ip Man? In what age are you still making kung fu movies and putting 1 Treat the box office of [-] million as a small goal, screw it, you can have everything in your dreams!"

Perhaps it is true to the saying "people who work together are like mortal enemies", Yu Dong and Jiang Xiaofeng have never been easy to deal with. The only thing they have in common is that they both have the same backer.

By the way, as early as 1994, Yu Dong, who had just graduated, was promoted to deputy section chief by the director of Beijing Film Studio.

One time, Yu Dong was late for a meeting and was kicked out by the factory director. That factory director was Han Sanping.

Later, Yu Dong resigned and started his own business, establishing Bona. Bona initially started out as a publisher, and Yu Dong’s main connections were related to China Film.

And Yu Dong's royal partner Huang Jianxin was in the same class as Han Sanping back then.

One of the reasons why Yu Dong hates Jiang Xiaofeng is because in recent years, Jiang Xiaofeng and Han Sanping have become closer and have cooperated more.It even feels better than his relationship with Han Sanping.

However, Yu Dong, like Jiang Xiaofeng, also made the same mistakes that most men in the world make.

As his career grew bigger and bigger, Yu Dong's time to return home became later and later.

The first time I realized that Yu Dong had a woman outside was when his wife Zang Lilu received a harassing phone call at night. At that time, she was just pregnant with her youngest son. The caller was an unknown young actor.

Yu Dong gradually stopped going home, first at one o'clock, two o'clock, then three o'clock, and four o'clock. He always said he was busy and talked about things.

Until Yu Dong got together with a popular actress, he began to stay up at night, and his marriage with his wife became in danger...

However, what made Yu Dong and others madly slapped in the face was that Jiang Xiaofeng's "Ip Man" not only did not hit the market, but instead fought its way out as a dark horse under the attack of competitors such as "More Than One".

July 7th is the first day for the nationwide release of "Ip Man". Although there are also many movies such as "Superman Returns" being released in theaters at the same time, due to the overwhelming publicity offensive of "Ip Man" and Jiang Xiaofeng's powerful The appeal still makes the film dominate the film market.

On the first day of release, "Ip Man" took in 25 million yuan at the box office with 1300% of the film schedule. On this day, "Superman Returns", which had a 30% film schedule, only took in 1200 million yuan.

In key national theaters such as Lianhe Cinemas, New Film Alliance Cinemas, Singmei Cinemas and Wanda Cinemas, Southern Shinkansen Cinemas, and Pearl River Jinyi Cinemas, "Ip Man" dominates the market with an absolute number of copies. Prime time slots and the best theaters.

According to Wanda Cinema Line, all Wanda's weekend prime theaters are sold out before five o'clock on weekends, and the theaters are adding extra shows of "Ip Man" every day during the three days of weekends.

The pre-sale tickets for the New Film Alliance Cinemas on Sunday have also been sold out early. For this reason, the person in charge of Times Audio and Video Company, the film's producer, said that in the face of the hot sales situation in the theaters, the film producers are actively contacting more copies and are currently adding more copies. The copy notice has been issued, and the relevant departments are rushing to produce it to ensure market demand.Many viewers who had watched the film were very excited when talking about the film with reporters, "I haven't seen such a relaxing film in a long time."

"I am a fan of Brother Feng, but I never knew that Brother Feng is so good at fighting. It shocked me!"

"Brother Feng's Wing Chun is so beautiful, he looks like a practicing martial artist at first glance."

"Jiang Xiaofeng is really good at both civil and military skills. It feels like he knows everything. He's so damn versatile!"

"..."

In the film, Ip Man bravely breaks into a Japanese martial arts school with one against ten, and many film critics believe it to be the "most impressive sequence" in domestic films this year.

And the phrase "I want to fight ten" shouted by Jiang Xiaofeng's Ip Man in the movie also made many viewers excited and successfully broke through the circle, quickly spreading on the Internet.

More viewers reported that they did not know Ip Man before. After watching the movie, they realized that Ip Man was such a restrained, gentle and tolerant martial arts master.

Moreover, Ip Man, played by Jiang Xiaofeng, has such a deep patriotic sentiment. At first, he thought that kung fu movies were more about random fights. Unexpectedly, the connotation and enjoyment of this movie are both first-rate. I will definitely recommend more people to watch this " Ip man".

Some parents among the interviewees said that such movies are truly suitable for all ages: "I always think that it is bad for children to watch too many kung fu movies. It seems that "Ip Man" is an exception."

As of July 7, the national box office of "Ip Man" has reached 16 million yuan. The box office performance in these three days has exceeded the 3800 million yuan in the past three days of "Superman Returns". In this regard, theaters have criticized the film's box office The confidence of breaking 3100 million has been greatly increased.

When being interviewed by reporters, Jiang Xiaofeng also told reporters with a smile that he is not only a singer, but also an actor and a kung fu actor.

"I have always wanted to make Kung Fu movies, and this time it is a dream come true." As a singer, creation and singing were the only things he could make a living in. But in the past few years, Jiang Xiaofeng has not only become a director, but also a screenwriter, and has also acted in many movies. .

This time when filming "Ip Man", a kung fu movie, if Jiang Xiaofeng only had acting skills but no kung fu, he would not be recognized by the audience in the end.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng's acting skills are not bad, his kung fu is also not bad. He hopes that Feng can take on this "Ip Man" so that everyone can see this.

"The movie "Ip Man" is about such a simple truth, that is, a person must have both fists and brains. Although Ip Man was good at kung fu but did not care about worldly affairs, in the end his maturity was the maturity of his mind. Kung Fu also flourishes further, which is also the essence of this script."

In a previous interview, Jiang Xiaofeng once revealed the idea of ​​filming "Ip Man 2", and also broke the news that Zhou Jilun would be invited to play Bruce Lee in "Ip Man 2", but it still depends on whether the first "Ip Man" Can get good box office.

Nowadays, the first weekend of "Ip Man" has achieved impressive box office results. The enthusiasm shown by the audience for "Ip Man" makes Jiang Xiaofeng very confident and said that "Ip Man 2" will definitely continue to be filmed.

The box office performance of "Ip Man" not only relieved Jiang Xiaofeng, but also gave Century Group shareholders some reassurance. It also put Fan Bingbing, who played Ip Man's wife in the movie, in a good mood.

Although Fan Bingbing and Jiang Xiaofeng cannot be a couple in reality, being able to be a mock couple in a movie like "Ip Man" is another form of dream come true.

Zhou Jielun, who was filming a Metersbonwe commercial overseas, learned that "Ip Man" was going to have a sequel. In an interview with reporters, he shouted to Jiang Xiaofeng from a distance: "If Ip Man is going to make a sequel, I hope Brother Feng can let me." Playing Bruce Lee, my nunchucks are no joke, even if I have them, I can still play them pretty cool."

Like most boys, Jay Chou not only has martial arts dreams, but also kung fu dreams. If he can participate in "Ip Man 2" and play Bruce Lee, it will not only be a dream come true for him, but also a very big challenge.
