China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 494: Came to announce the good news?

"Mr. Yu, Director Huang, Director Xu, and Director Li are here."

The staff reminded in a low voice.

"Here we come, people are finally here."

Huang Jianxin smiled.

"I thought our investors weren't here."

Yu Dong joked, and several people went to greet him.

Liu Yifei held Li Mu's hand and quickly crossed the red carpet.

Compared with yesterday's premiere of "One Step Away", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was much more low-key.

"Hey, Mr. Yu, Director Huang, Director Xu."

"We were just wondering why our investors haven't arrived yet!"

Tsui Hark laughed and motioned for Li Mu and Liu Yifei to invite them this way.

"Taking Tiger Mountain 3D" is the most blockbuster Chinese film in 2014. It is also the ultimate test of the level of Chinese films! "

Zhang Hanyu, Liang Jiahui, Yu Nan, and Tong Liya also came to say hello.

“Director Li is still funny!!!”

Liu Yifei looked at it very seriously and even asked Li Mu less often.

Along the way, posters were placed on both sides. A very eye-catching poster called "Tiger Hunting Up the Mountain" showed Yang Zirong, played by Zhang Hanyu, riding on a horse and raising his gun at a ferocious Siberian tiger.

"Why, Director Li, you see the Siberian tiger made by your company and you don't recognize it?"

Yu Dong made bold remarks on the stage:

In Tsui Hark's summary, the third drama of the Lunar New Year stalls officially kicked off.

It was just that when the mountain eagle couldn't be seen to be played by Liang Jiahui, he had a conversation with Li Mu.

Seeing Li Mu pause, Xu Hark looked over at the rest of the light and joked.

Li Mu saw the three people coming in a hurry and greeted them quickly.

Li Mu also took advantage of the situation and praised his special effects of Tiancai. This Siberian tiger has toyed with Tiancai a lot.

Several people laughed.

Tsui Hark is much more low-key.

"Many people still have doubts about the theme of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". Do they think such a red classic is suitable to be made into a commercial blockbuster?
All I can say about this is, Bertolucci can shoot "The Last Emperor", why can't I shoot red themes? Being a director means facing challenges, and a good story needs someone to shoot it! "

"The story of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has been a dream of mine for 40 years. I have never stopped working hard for this movie. In every scene, I insist on filming to the most perfect standard in my heart. I have always been very careful when making movies. Not for an instant box office record.”

Li Mu and Liu Yifei were sitting in the audience, lazily waiting for the premiere to begin.

"The roads in the Imperial Capital were blocked. Everyone knew about it and almost ran over."

"That's not true, it's just that this poster is quite impressive. Of course, the Siberian tiger is still very good."

The movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" can be said to be very "hard" in filming.

A standard war action blockbuster, Tsui Hark, who is good at shooting cold weapon battles, this time also shot a hot weapon battle with a strong flavor of male hormones.

From pistols, machine guns, and grenades to artillery, tanks, and fighter jets, every scene is quite interesting to watch.

The characters are also a group of "hard characters" who do what they say without any hesitation.

Although the whole movie is two and a half hours long, the pace is quite lively and smooth.

"The king of heaven suppresses the tigers of the earth, and the pagoda suppresses the river monsters." Of course there are these two classic code words.

Sample dialogues such as "Why are you blushing?" and "You're in good spirits!" are also preserved.

In the scene where Yang Zirong fights the tiger, Tsui Hark even provided excellent and realistic special effects.

In general, Tsui Hark did not randomly modify the classics for the sake of breakthroughs, such as whitewashing the mountain eagle or making Yang Zirong fall in love. The biggest adaptation was the addition of Qinglian, the wife of the villager played by Yu Nan.

The characters all have their own personalities, and there are a lot of laughs mixed in with the rough words, and the ending about the "New Year's Eve Dinner" is even more hilarious with tears in it, which Li Mu thinks is a wonderful touch.

Sure enough, after the movie ended, applause immediately filled the theater.

"I'm not afraid to ask you questions now."

Liu Yifei immediately became arrogant and confident. It felt good to have ink in her belly.

"Don't worry, it's not your turn."

Li Mu laughed dumbly and said, now reporters are surrounding the main creator on stage, after all, others are the protagonists.

However, reporters are not vegetarians. When interviewing Huang Jianxin and Tsui Hark, they inevitably asked how they viewed the competition between "Take the Tiger Mountain" and "One Step Away".

This question immediately focused the attention of the whole audience.

As the two most popular movies at the moment, the reputation of the former one has collapsed, and there is still a lot of criticism on Weibo.

What is obvious is that the filming of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is quite good. It can be said that the reputation will definitely be "off the charts".
At this time, asking Huang Jianxin and Tsui Hark to answer this kind of question is a bit provoking a fight.

But this happens to be what the media and the audience want to see.

"'One Step Away' is still a movie that we value very much, and we will definitely watch it in the theater."

"When making a movie, there are times when it succeeds, times when it fails, and times when things go badly. Filmmakers are all prepared for this." These two veterans avoided the "murderous intention" with their nonchalant answers.

That night, the reputation of "Take Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was completely opposite to that of "One Step Away", and its reputation immediately "exploded".

The premiere media all gave positive reviews, saying that everything from the 3D, special effects, scenes to the story was "hard" and that it was an "unbearably hard blockbuster". Tsui Hark, known as the "demon director", praised it. A hard-hitting blockbuster was released.

"The rivers and lakes here are dirty, but the soul of the drama is very clean. There are no metaphors, no sublimation. This is a group of People's Liberation Army soldiers, but it is also a group of knights in the rivers and lakes who are happy to take revenge: the bandits attack the villagers, we protect the villagers, that's it Simple."

"It's full of entertainment from beginning to end. It's not easy to film a red classic like this. The whole process was freezing and snowy. After watching it, one word came to my mind: It's so hard. Another word: It's wonderful! Another word: admire!"

"It's so beautiful! Yang Zirong's battle with the eight vajra-mounted mountain eagles is like "Dragon Inn", and 203 protecting the villagers with an outnumbered enemy against gangsters is like "Seven Samurai". It's a thrilling spectacle that brings laughter and tears. It's rare to say the main theme If you don’t teach me, it’s rare that I’m still hot! I have to brush it up twice!”

Netizens are also calling the movie one after another, which can be said to be a good harvest of word-of-mouth.

Moreover, the film was only released on Christmas Day, so it had seven days for word-of-mouth to ferment.

At the same time, "One Step Away" was officially released in the early morning of the 18th.

Jiang Wen couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw the comments from major media.

He still didn't understand why the audience couldn't understand it, even though he had already made it so straightforward.

"Go to sleep, there will be promotion tomorrow morning."

Seeing this, Zhou Yun sighed silently.

"No hurry, wait for a while."

"."

There are indeed a lot of bad reviews for "One Step Away" at present. In the face of the bad reviews, the measures currently taken by the film studio are to continue to hold family and friends viewings in major theaters in the only two days before the release.

Jiang Wen even led the team directly.

The effect is still there.

Word of mouth began to rebound.

Some viewers think Jiang Wen is a director who combines commercialism and artistry. The musical elements in "One Step Away" are very attractive. Jiang Wen has been trying all kinds of new things.
But this is not enough, at least not enough to make a comeback in terms of reputation.

On the 19th, the first-day box office data of "One Step Away" was also released, with a revenue of 9780 million, including zero-point screenings.

Ranked fourth among Chinese-language film premieres.

However, word-of-mouth and first-day box office results were polarizing.

The evaluation is polarized, with those who are satisfied giving it 10 points and those who are dissatisfied giving it 1 point. This is the first time this situation has appeared in this year's movie viewing survey.

On the Sina Film and Television Rating Platform, as of the early morning of the 19th, nearly 7.7 netizens had participated in the rating of "One Step Away". The film's current score is 7.9, which is lower than the of the earlier released "That Year in a Hurry" score.

You know, in the eyes of many people, "The Year in a Hurry" is really just a bad youth movie that is based on youthful sentiments and a bit bloody. It is not even qualified.

Jiang Wen suddenly remembered Li Mu's hesitant look at the premiere.

"Did Lao Li have guessed it a long time ago?"

Jiang Wen couldn't help but murmured a few times in his heart, and recalled what Li Mu said at the premiere that it was too familiar to be praised.

I'm afraid this is really not what he understands.

At this time, Li Mu and Liu Yifei were at home, and the two were discussing Li Mu's next trip.

Because Li Mu has roughly decided that he will shoot "The Revenant" at the end of the month or in early January.

Mainly depending on the weather, this time is just right for shooting.

"Then you said you were going to make another science fiction film? Are you planning to do it after this?"

Liu Yifei remembers that one of the reasons why Li Mu was considering whether to accept Warner's science fiction film was that Li Mu also planned to make a science fiction film.

"We still have to make preparations. That science fiction film won't be filmed soon."

Li Mu shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to shoot right away, but just the design and various gadgets would take a year and a half to prepare. He would burn incense and worship Buddha when the shooting started next year.

"Ok."

Liu Yifei was a little reluctant to leave. The two of them would not be able to see each other for several months. Although they could go to visit the class, according to Li Mu, the filming this time would be in the real wilderness, which was really inconvenient.

"quickly!"

Li Mu touched Liu Yifei's hair. Just as he was about to say something, his cell phone rang.

"Huh? Lao Jiang?"

Li Mu's pupils shrank slightly.

"What's the matter? Are you here to announce the good news?"

Li Mu asked with a smile, "One Step Away"'s premiere performance was not bad, of course, if only the first day was counted.

"It's such a big deal. Others don't know it, but you don't know it either. If "One Step Away" is going to make its money back, it will have a box office of about 1 billion."

Jiang Wen was angry.

The total investment in "One Step Away" reaches 3 million. Excluding 5% of the special funds allocated to the film and 57% of the box office allocated to theaters, this means that the total box office of the film must reach about 10 billion to make up for the investment.

If Jiang Wen went by his previous self-confidence, he would naturally be full of confidence.

After all, the final box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" four years ago was 6.59 million, and now the number of screens is 2.44 times that of four years ago, and "One Step Away" is a 3D ticket price. It would cost him a billion, in Jiang Wen's opinion. Easily.
