This director needs to apologize

Chapter 29 Three consecutive brushes and additional films

After working most of the night, Chen Yiming slept until the afternoon of the next day.

Gu Yuehe, who is running around on the plane and in the nanny's car at this moment, must be very envious.

Directing is a laborious, time-consuming and time-consuming job. It usually takes a busy year from the beginning of preparations for a movie until it is released in theaters.

If you choose a costume mythology or science fiction war theme, it will be commonplace for two or three years.

"Holiday in Magic City" is already considered to be extremely fast. From the project establishment in mid-July to now, Chen Yiming has been busy for nearly 7 months. In addition to participating in the Montreal exhibition in December, the cycle is almost half a year.

He really couldn't imagine how Wang Jing in his previous life managed to release 7 movies in a whole year in the shortest time of 13 days.

Of course, it is not necessary to do 996 or 007 every day during the project cycle. Occasionally, you can still find a short vacation of a week or two.

For example, after the film is completed and before it is released, if the pace of upgrading is prolonged, you can take advantage of it.

For another example, after the publicity period of two weeks after the release, a director who is purely working part-time can also announce that he has officially called it a day.

Chen Yiming is so busy that he is an exception. After all, there are few directors who are as deeply involved in marketing and publicity as he is. Bo Jue is just a grassroots team, and "Holiday in the City" is a rush job, so he can only roll up his sleeves and do it himself.

He secretly made up his mind to recruit people as soon as he was done with this period of time, and then leave all aspects other than production to Da Zhuang.

These are originally the duties of the producer, and it would be too unprofessional and out of character for him to get involved as a director!

He further realized that he seemed to be a little too demanding on the results of "Holiday in Magic City".

I just thought that I must not waste the classics of my previous life, but I never thought that in terms of this time and space, this is a relaxed and cheerful love sketch, which is enough for the audience to enjoy watching it.

Now I am just an unknown person with no baggage or expectations, so why should I create unnecessary pressure on myself and everyone else.

It's still the same Wong Jing. He admitted in an interview that he never minded his nickname as a bad movie director because the projects he participated in rarely caused investors to lose money.

When he doesn't feel like it, he just treats making movies as homework. After all, there are a lot of people following him to make a living.

Come and feel it, then upgrade the movie to art, and carefully craft and strive for perfection throughout the whole good work.

Fatty Wang’s attitude towards movies varies from person to person, but his attitude of not being favoured, is definitely worth learning from every filmmaker.

Thinking of this, he put down his phone and his inner anxiety.

Everything that can be arranged has been arranged, and everything that needs to be reminded has been reminded. It is better to let everyone let go.

After getting up and washing up, he went to the park cafeteria for breakfast and lunch. He continued his usual business and strolled to the cinema to watch a movie.

Today "Yokohama Raiders" starring Tony Leung Wai Fai officially premiered in the Mainland.

……

Although Liang Weihui is a native of Hong Kong, his behavior is not Hong Kong at all.

He chose to work less and cautiously. After becoming famous, he almost never acted in dramas and rarely linked up his work. He has a noble style like that of the older generation of mainland performing artists.

His golden status as the Best Actor in Cannes gave Tony Leung the qualifications and confidence to break out of the circle of favors in Hong Kong and refuse those bad movies that make money. Therefore, his image in the eyes of the audience has always been valuable.

It also makes him look a little different among Hong Kong stars.

However, the aloof character design has been maintained until last year. This year, for unknown reasons, Liang's style of painting changed suddenly.

During the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year, the master of art films once again applied his melancholic eye to a romantic comedy after many years. He teamed up with the famous Hong Kong egg fried rice director Huang Weimin to present "The Heartless Rice Machine 2009".

Tony Leung Wai-fai has a broad acting career. In his early years, he made many romantic films of the happy-enemies type, and they were basically above the passing mark. His handsome face will not make people laugh when he makes them laugh.

However, now that he is nearly fifty, it seems very inconsistent to film a drama that was more than ten years ago. Coupled with the cliched plot and boring laughs, this bowl of egg fried rice was poured back into the pot by movie fans as soon as it was served.

During the mid-summer break, Tony Leung rarely made a film for the second time in one year. This time he played the leading role of Cao Cao in Wu Kesen's "Three Kingdoms: Guandu".

Not surprisingly, the box office was a hit, but Actor Liang's reputation was mixed.

Asian movie fans outside China are still fascinated by it, but mainland movie fans generally don't buy it.

Also, it is indeed too much to ask the Chinese people who are generally familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms to recognize the melancholic and artistic appearance Ma Gan'er as Boss Cao.Give my Ah Ma's domineering belly back!
During the Lunar New Year holiday at the end of the year, Tony Leung is back again. The original cast of the 1999 hit movie "Busan Raiders" reunited after ten years to fight in Yokohama again.

Chen Yiming, who has the memory of two lifetimes, can see at a glance that although this year's Best Actor Liang has thick black hair, he clearly has a barren head.

High-density facial expressions in a short period of time are so popular that even Mr. Ge can't bear to do this.

Speaking of style, Ge You is also the Best Actor at Cannes, okay?

Chen Yiming chose a medium-sized theater affiliated with the New Film Alliance in the Magic City. The location was not prosperous. Looking at the film schedule on the electronic screen, there were a total of 5 "Yokohama Raiders" scheduled today.

Based on this calculation, the overall film arrangement rate is about 25.

During the afternoon screening on a Thursday weekday, there were about 50 to [-] people sitting in the center of the auditorium, which was not satisfactory.

The sequel to Tony Leung Wai-fai's famous film has a certain IP bonus, and there are really not many movies available at the same time.

Chen Yiming found the disc of the previous film and watched it. It was a typical commercial movie in Hong Kong, about fringe people and undercover police officers fighting gangs together.

The highlights are the relaxed and humorous action design that fits Liang Weihui's style, as well as the long legs of the girls in the Korean girl group.

Director Ren Chucheng is a photographer, and he specializes in photographing exotic scenery, handsome men and beauties. Although the story is a bit cliché, the viewing experience is very enjoyable.

This is also one of the few commercial films starring Liang Liang with sequel potential.

……

There is a saying that if you go in the right direction, you will get twice the result with half the effort; if you go in the wrong direction, everything will be ruined.

After watching "Yokohama Strategy", Chen Yiming felt that this sentence was particularly suitable for director Ren Chucheng.

Director Ren has indeed summarized and refined the experience of the previous work and further developed it in the sequel.

However, if the initial summary is wrong, subsequent upgrades will only go further and further off track.

The plot of "Yokohama Raiders" has no innovation and even regresses. In their childhood, the gangsters were weaker and more ridiculous than their gangster counterparts. The gang boss was still a retard. He was bullied by the protagonists outside and was stabbed in the back by his own wife when he came home.

The villain wasn't created with enough weight, and the story collapsed in half, making the protagonists' behavior seem like they were just messing around the entire time.

Ren Chucheng obviously overestimated the effectiveness of the Korean girl group in the previous work. "Yokohama Raiders" was upgraded to a wholesale collection of beauties in daily life, and it was not satisfied with being a vase, but added scenes one by one to focus on shaping.

Chen Yiming had a sense of déjà vu from Charlie's Angels, the second male undercover agent was turned into a show tool, and the first male lead, Liang Weihui, was also robbed of a lot of limelight.

But Chen Yiming couldn't tell who the extras were in those little days. He clearly came to see Best Actor Liang act cheap and cute.

Overall, this movie has some sincerity but really not much. Ten years ago it was considered a small updated version of Egg Fried Rice 1.1, but now it is just a substandard money-making movie.

Chen Yiming can already predict that Liang Weihui's reputation will collapse in the next few days.

This year is definitely a disaster year for him. After these three consecutive falls, he may fall directly to the point where his godhood is shattered. He doesn't know how many years it will take him to recover after being frozen for a few years.

After leaving the cinema, Chen Yiming couldn't help feeling melancholy.

As powerful as Best Actor Liang, one wrong move will lead to catastrophe. The movie is really cruel!

Huh?Why should I feel melancholy? "Yokohama Raiders" is not good to watch. Isn't it a major benefit to him?

Thinking back to "Force 4", which will be released tomorrow, its reputation has also collapsed, and the main creators have blamed each other and turned it into a pot of porridge.

Does this mean that "Holiday in Magic City" can make a profit?

What a mistake. If I had known earlier, I should have released it earlier this week. If I ate alone in the first week of filming, I wouldn't have become a fat man in one bite!

He was having a wonderful thought when suddenly the phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Da Zhuang.

"Tie Zhu, the afternoon show here in Hangzhou has just ended. Let me tell you, the theater was packed to the rafters. Fans bought tickets for nearby shows just to watch Lao Gu. The aisles of our hall were full of people."

"The vice president of Times Cinema happened to be present. He patted my chest and offered to add at least 10 points to "Holiday in the City"."
