This star is too fierce

Chapter 449: You also filmed the Three Kingdoms, and I also filmed the Three Kingdoms. I know it but don’t fully understand it.
"The green lantern illuminates the cool night, and the autumn moon turns into a stream of light
At dawn in my hometown, I can’t finish your red makeup
The sound of playing a piece of music was slow, so you carved your name into the history paper..."

Exquisite lyrics, beautiful melody, full of poetry and philosophy.

Under Lu Bu's unique tone, everyone was sighing that "emotion is the feeling of nostalgia and finding tranquility and freedom", and at the same time, they were also thinking about what the theme of "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" is.

Is it the cruel and real life of ancient people, "When prosperity comes, people suffer; when death falls, people suffer"?
Or is it the blood and tears on the road to becoming a prince and becoming a prime minister in ancient times?
Or is it the sentiment of the ancient people about their family and country that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world"?

When the last line of the lyrics "The wind stopped and the clouds dispersed" was sung from Lu Bu's mouth, everyone suddenly woke up.

The theme song "Three Kingdoms", the ending song "Tears of a Thousand Years", and the entire film "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the Deer in the World" are actually the same as those expressed in Yang Shen's poem "Linjiang Immortal·Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River East" The emotions are the same. When looking at the rise and fall of the past dynasties, they express their feelings about life through the successes and failures of heroes. They are bold but implicit, high-pitched yet profound, showing a broad-minded and detached and even "great enlightenment" outlook on life and history. It allows people to feel the desolation and solemnity while also enjoying the tranquil and indifferent atmosphere.

At this time, the closing credits rolled on the big screen, and the lights in the theater were turned on by the staff.

At this moment, all the moviegoers were in the same mood. They were hearty and happy, and they still had unfinished thoughts.

"The character creation is very successful."

"Well, it is different from the CCTV version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."

……

"It was all shot in real scenes, the scenes are grand, the whole film is majestic and magnificent."

"The lines have ancient rhymes and the soundtrack is beautiful. Only at this level can we call it an 'epic masterpiece'!"

……

"The martial arts movements, whether it's manners or moves, are real and emotional, and it's really enjoyable to watch."

"The ceiling is designed."

……

On the way out of the cinema, Qiu Yanwu heard unanimous praise for "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World".

Is it really that good?

He began to think.

[Action Design]: 9.9 points, the highest level among action movies;
[War Scene]: 9.9 points, No. [-] among historical war films;

[Fuhuadao]: 9.5 points, follow the history, exquisite and beautiful;
[Actor]: 9 points, the actors’ acting skills are all online and they fit the role well;

[Plot]: 8.5 points, a combination of official history + unofficial history + fiction, which is both exciting and educational;
[Later stage]: 9 points, special effects, soundtrack, dubbing, etc. are worthy of the name of blockbuster;

[Emotions and Thoughts]: 9 points. It is not just a pile of martial arts action and war scenes, but a deeper exploration of history and culture;

……

After a simple calculation, Qiu Yanwu's score for this movie is above 9.5.

You know, if a movie can get 7 points, it's basically not too bad; if it can get 8 points, it's already a masterpiece; if it can get 8.5 points, it's rare; and if it can get 9 points, it's a masterpiece. .

If the Chinese-language films that scored 9 points were still Chinese-language films, they could be said to be "fighters among masterpieces." However, the only Chinese-language films that scored 9.5 points were "Farewell My Concubine," "Teahouse," and "Back to Back, Face to Face."

At the same time, the first wave of reviews for "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" have been released on the Internet.

[Love's Requiem]: I am moved beyond words, so sad. This is really a good film made with great care, grand and delicate!
[Old A Fei]: The Yangtze River is rolling eastward, and the waves have wiped out the heroes. The lights of swords and swords have dimmed, and the drums and horns are no longer contending. In front of my eyes, there are fresh faces flying one by one!

[Joker]: I watched "Troy" a few years ago and felt that no domestic film could compare with it. Until I just watched this one with my family.

[Smiling An Ran]: There are shortcomings, but the commendable and admirable places are innumerable and inexhaustible.

[Red Bean Cake and Little Fatty Pork]: It ranges from a cup, a bowl, a plate, a lacquered slipper, a seat, instant noodles, and a dove battle, to a large weapon, armor, official hat, and clothing. It is exquisite and moderate, but also adds a certain amount of beautification and artistic creation. It ensures a high degree of combination of entertainment and aesthetics.

[Not Talking About Movies]: Artists from all walks of life put their passion into the film, giving "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" a heroic spirit both inside and outside the film. It is a romantic spirit of constant struggle for ideals. .

……

Tonight, the Internet is very lively.

Countless film reviews, countless analyses, and countless emotions were posted crazily on major forums.

It seems that there is only one "blockbuster" in this National Day release, "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World".

------

------

October 10st, Hangzhou, Shanshui Gudang Villa Area.

Gao Yuanyuan was playing on the computer in the room, and Lu Bu was reading a book on the small sofa in the back.

After yesterday's premiere, I rested in the hotel for one night and left Hainan early this morning.

Lu Bu and Gao Yuanyuan spent this National Day Golden Week together, because Yu Feihong and the others were busy with their own affairs.

After the two of them got married, the TV series "Let's Get Married" started filming.

"Sister Yu sent me a set of data about our movies. Do you want to come over and take a look?"

"have a look."

Lu Bu stood up, pulled up a chair and sat next to Gao Yuanyuan.

Look at the QQ chat box.

It is the current box office, ratings, film schedule rate and attendance rate of several National Day blockbusters.

[As of 10:1 on October 11st
1. "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World", with a box office of 2350 million, a rating of 9.5, a film schedule of 34.21%, and an attendance rate of 59.85%;

2. "Red Cliff: Part 1134", with a box office of 6.9 million, a rating of 28.47, a film schedule of 30.63%, and an attendance rate of [-]%;

3. "Mei Lanfang", with a box office of 887 million, a rating of 7.4, a film schedule of 15.55%, and an attendance rate of 33.71%;

4. "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", with a box office of 3 million, a rating of 811, a film schedule of 6.2%, and an attendance rate of 12.69%;

5. "The Lottery Is Crazy", with a box office of 113 million, a rating of 6.2, a film schedule of 2.45%, and an attendance rate of 19.56%...]

After reading the data, Gao Yuanyuan was speechless and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Lu Bu shrugged and said: "Cinema theaters seem to consider the audience's interest and demand for different movies to satisfy the audience's preferences, but they usually arrange popular, popular or high-anticipated movies in the schedule to attract more audiences. , they are not charities, they are all here to make money." Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan showed a smile on his face and said: "The box office and attendance rate of our movies are almost doubled, right? Will you schedule more films?"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Theoretically it will increase."

Film scheduling will be affected by a variety of factors, such as film type, schedule, box office performance, film critical reputation, etc.

But if a theater chain participates in the investment, production and distribution of a certain movie, it will be more biased towards its own movie.

It's normal. If people don't do it for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth.

Gao Yuanyuan added: "From this point of view, our film is very likely to become the first domestic film to exceed 4 million."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "Be brave, 5 million!"

Gao Yuanyuan stuck out his tongue and said: "I kept it safe. If there are 5000 million on the first day, there is really a chance."

Lu Bu said jokingly: "If you don't get more at the box office, your husband will go bankrupt."

Gao Yuanyuan blinked. The total investment of 2 million can only be recovered by earning 6 million at the box office. Then he said: "You haven't calculated the overseas market. Asia alone must have a box office of hundreds of millions."

Lu Bu said slightly worriedly: "It's hard to say, this one is different from "The Myth" in that it doesn't have too many love elements."

Gao Yuanyuan raised her hand to block his neck and said with a smile: "Don't worry, such a good movie cannot lose money."

Lu Bu smiled back and said, "I'd like to lend you some good advice."

Gao Yuanyuan turned around and said: "By the way, how come the score of "Red Cliff: Part 7" is not even [-] points?"

Lu Bu also said curiously: "Let's see what netizens say."

Gao Yuanyuan moved the mouse and opened Douban and Maoyan.

"A good movie has to be split in half. The pace is extremely slow. As the male lead, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, who plays the biggest role, only appears about 40 minutes into the film."

"Zhou Yu spends all day making music and pretending to be cool; Zhuge Liang is even better at pretending than him, and he only knows a little bit about it all day long; Cao Cao's words and deeds are carefree and have no meaning, and he even makes a few jokes that make people laugh. "Xiao Qiao said 'Mengmeng, stand up' and gave me a sip of coke that sprayed me far away."

"The war scenes have no technical content at all. It stands to reason that large-scale close combat and flexible formations should be very attractive to the audience. However, the combat scenes in the play are really lackluster and almost make people sleepy. .”

"The logic of the plot is very poor. Kong Rong scolded Cao Cao in the court, and he was beheaded. But what is puzzling is that if you don't scold him sooner or later, his army will be standing outside. You scold Cao Cao. You are not looking for death. Really? And you said that 'Cao Cao was named a Han Prime Minister, but he was actually a Han traitor', and the reason was that he was 'a teacher without a name'. Is there an inevitable connection between this? Kong Rong is also a famous official of his generation, so how can you find a fool to play the role? "

"Can those who make movies, write lines, act, and make-up have a little respect for history and traditional Chinese culture? Anyone who has gone to school knows that Zhuge Liang changed Cao Zijian's "Tongque Terrace Ode" to "Taking Er Qiao" Traveling to the southeast, we share happiness day and night, which makes Zhou Lang furious and vows to fight to the death with Cao Cao. And why is Xiao Qiao's portrait placed on Cao Cao's bedside in this movie?"

"I previously thought that "The Promise" created the pinnacle of thunder films, and "The Night Banquet" took it to the next level. Now, after watching "Red Cliff", I have successfully inherited the title of "the king of thunder films in the history of Chinese films". 'hat of."

……

Gao Yuanyuan took a breath and said in disbelief: "Is it really that bad?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly and said, "Judging from the feedback from the first batch of viewers who watched it, yes."

He did not survive the Battle of Chibi, but from the descriptions in official history, unofficial history and novels, we can know that this was a more exciting battle than the Battle of Hulao Pass. However, the excitement and difficulty of filming are also directly proportional.

It is not difficult to see from these comments that Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff: Part [-]" has some problems in all aspects, from the script, scenes, service methods, to the actors' interpretation of the characters, etc.

It seems that even if there are a bunch of movie kings, movie kings, and movie queens such as Zhang Guorong and Tony Leung Chaowei gathered together, the "badness" cannot be concealed.

Gao Yuanyuan patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, you didn't choose to film this movie, otherwise you would have been scolded again."

Lu Bu shook his finger and said, "That's not necessarily true. If I accept it, there is a high probability that I will ask for changes to the script, and I will definitely tell you about the unreasonable aspects such as the scene and the way of persuasion."

Gao Yuanyuan raised the corners of her lips and said, "Yes."

Among China's four great classics, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" have been adapted more frequently by film and television.

Although there are many movies about Journey to the West, there was the animation "Havoc in Heaven" before and the movie "Westward Journey" series later. At least there are works that are worthy of being on the stage.

As for the Three Kingdoms, TV dramas are generally the ones that get the most attention, and a movie can be seen every once in a while. Whether it is a copy of Luo Guanzhong's novel or an adaptation in a different way, the quality is not very good.

However, there are obviously so many wonderful characters and stories in the Three Kingdoms, why can't we make good movies?

The creation of a movie character is very particular. It must be consistent with history and the public's psychological expectations. The psychological expectations influenced by Luo Guanzhong must also be innovative. This is another big problem.

In terms of topic selection, the duration of a movie is limited, and it is impossible to cover all the contents of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". We can only choose a part of it, and which part to choose is a tangled question. Popular ones, like Battle of Chibi, will be too familiar to the audience and will encounter the problems mentioned above; choose unpopular ones, such as Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui, which have a lot of creative space and may not attract many people. It becomes more difficult to attract investment.

After selecting the material, you still need to establish a theme. For example, the Battle of Red Cliff has a very exciting plot, but without a clear central idea to connect it together, the film will probably only be a mess.

Anyway, it’s just three words – very difficult!

Lu Bu has three advantages in this.

First, he was a person who experienced it personally and saw and heard the real people and events in this part of history in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Second, he mostly puts forward requirements for scripts, fight scenes, and creations from the perspective of the audience.

Third, he is capital himself and has absolute dominance.

Therefore, "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" has such a perfect start.

Then, the two looked at the feedback from two other blockbusters.

The first is Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang". The current box office is actually not bad, but the score is only 6.9. For a biographical film of a hugely influential figure, it is a huge failure.

Judging from the audience's comments, this movie saw two dramas, "Half a Lifetime" and "Farewell My Concubine", but they were not integrated, but pieced together. Chen Hong's role was quite satisfactory, and there was no special point for her to play. ; Lai Ming's first impression was of Shen Shijun in "Half Life", not Mei Lanfang; Zhang Ziyi's performance was superficial and could not reach Meng Xiaodong's heart, only skin without bone marrow.

All these things come together and eventually become a Waterloo, leaving only a "pity".

And Li Lianjie's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" can be said to be a box office and reputation hit in China.

Lu Xun said, "What is a bad movie? It is a sequel to a good movie, trampled out of a place full of flowers. There are no bad movies in the world. If there are too many sequels, it will become a bad movie." This sequel The problem focuses on several special skills of the two previous games, including tomb robbing, history, special effects, beauty, action, baggage, romance, villains and Egypt. The ancient scenes do not have an epic feel. This criticism is also shared in the modern parts. The final battle It was just a brawl on the mound, with no hint of doom.

This film cost a total of 1.7 million U.S. dollars, and Li Lianjie's salary was only 1500 million U.S. dollars. However, the director who was cramming didn't have enough confidence in Chinese history, so he simply made it vague, fictionalizing Qin Shihuang as the "Dragon Emperor" and Qin Shihuang. The figurines were imagined as Chinese mummies, and finally they were photographed in four different ways.

After browsing around major online forums, Lu Bu and Gao Yuanyuan came to the conclusion that it was "stable"!
"Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" is far ahead in terms of word-of-mouth, film schedule, and attendance.

Now, it depends on how the overseas market is doing.
