This star is too fierce

Chapter 490, one family is dominant, three families are lost

"It's an indescribable feeling. You can say it's not good, but I don't think about leaving early or dozing off. You can say it's good, but I don't have a particularly deep memory."

"I'm here to count the stars, and there are indeed many. There are first-, second- and third-tier actors, singers, and directors from half of the entertainment industry."

"It's quite satisfactory, neither bad nor good."

"Actually, some of the plots are quite touching and passionate."

"Yes, it's very rare for a movie with a main theme to be filmed without being awkward and watchable."

"As a commercial film, it was successful."

……

After coming out of the movie theater, I heard the audience chatting with each other after leaving the theater.

When Lu Bu heard these comments, he was not surprised or disappointed because they were all true.

The plot is like a quick glance, and the stars are fleeting. If you don't be included in a bad movie, you can have some fun. What else do you need a bicycle?

Judging from the 3500 million box office on the first day of release yesterday, the data is not very optimistic. However, this kind of film is generally organized to watch by organizations, and it is a stable type.

Moreover, they are all acting for zero pay, so the box office revenue has nothing to do with them.

Furthermore, several other films in the same period had very poor box office and reputation.

"October Siege" had a box office of 2300 million on its first day and a rating of 7.7;

"The Tomb" had a box office of 1200 million on its first day and a rating of 3.9;

"Su Qier" had a box office of 880 million on its first day and a rating of 5.1.

"October Siege" is a standard commercial movie that covers almost all types of elements that can be seen on the market, including love that is only one step away, suspense of how to break out, innovative martial arts, body destruction thriller, and three Although it has decent publicity and a luxurious star cast, it is anticlimactic, too heavy, and lacks a hit point. It seems that it will not be able to recoup the cost of 1.5 million.

"The Tomb" has set a new record for Zhou Jialun's lowest score for a movie. The plot logic is confusing, there are too many advertisements, the protagonist's behavior is unreasonable, and the lines are ridiculous. Although it has a star cast with good looks and acting skills, the quality of the film has not been improved. Guaranteed is the number one bad film in the National Day season.

The action scenes of "Su Qier" did not disappoint. The fighting scenes accounted for almost half of the whole film. Each scene has its own characteristics. Although there is no breakthrough, it finally continues Yuan Heping's usual high level. In addition, Other than that, the film has no other highlights. The main plot is the revenge story most commonly used in Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts films. However, even such a simple and clichéd story is full of loopholes and extremely bizarre.

"Ba Ye is the number one martial artist, there is no doubt about this, but as a director, he is not suitable. What's worse, he also used a subpar screenwriter."

This is the evaluation given by Jiang Wen.

"Martial arts movies are gradually declining."

Lu Bu could only sigh.

"The changes in martial arts films can be traced back to Chen Kaige's "The Promise". This film seemed to herald the transformation of martial arts films from pure 'martial arts' to advocating 'technocentrism'. Since then, the special effects have become more and more amazing. , the commercial atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and the spirit of justice and chivalry gradually disappears, replaced by a series of films called "ancient puppet dramas". Although they claim to express "national justice", they are actually full of clichés. The love plot." Jiang Wen tried to analyze.

"Whether it's "The Promise," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Hero," or "House of Flying Daggers," the influx of foreign capital has undoubtedly improved the special effects of these movies and made them more realistic, but at the same time, martial arts movies The core elements are also slowly disappearing, which may have advantages and disadvantages." Lu Bu shook his head gently.

"However, martial arts movies are not dead yet." Jiang Wen suddenly said.

"Not dead?" Lu Bu fell into silence.

"Because of you." Jiang Wen chuckled.

"Me?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "No matter how powerful I am, I still don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life." "Yes, as long as you write, direct and star in a martial arts film, it will have the effect of bringing the dead back to life." Jiang Wen said seriously.

"Forget it, with my level, it will only make things worse." Lu Bu shook his head again.

He does have some special feelings for the word "martial arts". It can be said that he developed his career through martial arts dramas and martial arts films.

But it is simply unrealistic to say that he alone can revive this genre.

Even if he makes a martial arts film that hits both the box office and word-of-mouth, it won't be able to change the current situation of martial arts films, because now capital has more and more say, and he can't influence others.

In mid-October, Lu Bu's vacation ended and he joined the group with Zeng Lai.

The filming of the drama "Latent" is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The director is Jiang Wei, who belongs to the powerful group. In 2001, he served as the screenwriter of the family ethics drama "Don't Talk to Strangers". In 2004, he won the Southern Festival Annual New Director Award for his criminal investigation suspense drama "Silent Witness".

At first, he was very worried that Lu Bu and Zeng Ling would not be qualified for the roles in this drama. It was not that their acting skills were not up to par, but that one was too handsome and the other was too beautiful. Staring in a spy drama with a theme of the Republic of China might upset the audience.

However, he has no way to influence the casting results because Mengjiang Media is the largest investor in the show.

However, after the official filming, his idea completely changed.

Lu Bu and Zeng Lai's understanding of their respective roles and research on the script were beyond imagination. Not to mention Yu Zecheng and Wang Cuiping, at least they met his standards.

Previously, the best candidates in his mind were Sun Honglei and Yao Chen, but now he thinks Lu Bu and Zeng Lai are also acceptable.

As the filming time went on, he even believed that Lu Bu and Zeng Lai had performed their own tastes and created a Yu Zecheng who was loyal to the original work without sticking to the minutiae of the original work, with a full, vivid and outstanding image. And Wang Cuiping, one word is "good".

"Hey, the actors will touch up their makeup, and the venue will be arranged and prepared for the next scene."

Jiang Wei's voice fell, and Lu Bu and Zeng left the venue.

After finishing her makeup, Zeng Lai asked: "Are you going to the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards at the beginning and middle of next month?"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I have to go. "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" has been nominated for so many awards. It would be inappropriate for me not to go."

Zeng Lai blinked and said, "Then I'll have to take a lot of days off."

Lu Bu sighed: "I have no choice but to let the director film other people's scenes first."

Zeng Lai smiled sweetly and said: "This time, bring back two movie stars."

Lu Bu said: "It's difficult, the competitors are very strong." After saying that, he smiled faintly and said: "It doesn't matter, a movie star can't explain anything. If you have one, you have it, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Zeng Lai said softly: "Anyway, in my heart, you are already the best actor."

Lu Bu looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of love.
