Reborn I am the second generation of stars

Chapter 716 Choose a Kung Fu Movie

The success of "Tucao Conference" gave Xu Qian another label, that is, a famous variety show producer!

Since then, Xu Qian has become a well-known director, actor, singer and variety show producer in the industry!

He is one of the rare all-round entertainers in the industry!
His fans commented like this: "He is the most handsome director, he is an all-around genius, he is an entertainer who has reached the peak in the entertainment industry and has always stood tall!

People in the circle also respect Xu Qian even more, because this is a person who can support a company by himself!
Xu Qian has now become a boss-level figure, and a boss like him does not rely on his qualifications, but on his real achievements!

After finishing his idle business, Xu Qian is finally preparing for a new movie. In fact, he has considered shooting a new movie before, and he wants to make a Kung Fu movie!
It can be said that youth films can no longer satisfy his wishes, because youth films are easy to shoot, which has made him unable to create challenges!
And after the youth trilogy, he has reached the peak in the field of youth films, and no one can surpass him!

Others can only add bricks and tiles to the "youth system" he created, and they can only add things called dog blood, such as abortion, car accidents, family deaths, etc.!

Therefore, even though shooting youth films can still achieve a very high box office, he does not intend to shoot anymore. He is already at the peak, and if he shoots again, he will go downhill, or he will keep repeating his old path!

He has higher pursuits!
And Kung Fu movies are his pursuit!

What is the most famous genre of Chinese film?
Of course it's a kung fu movie!

Since Bruce Lee entered the word "Kung Fu" into the English dictionary, Kung Fu movies have become famous all over the world and have been enduring for a long time!
Of course, since the beginning of the new century, kung fu movies have also declined. Only a few veteran kung fu superstars are still supporting the sky of "kung fu movies". Other filmmakers are powerless against the decline of kung fu movies!

And now that there are so many special effects and cutouts, who wants to do real hard horses and bridges with chic and elegant movements?As long as the special effects are not on the list!

In this regard, Xu Qian admires Kung Fu Dragon. Although his private life has been hacked miserably, his professional attitude and that attitude of not wanting to die are worth learning from!
Kung fu, it can be said to be everyone's dream!
Kung fu can be said to be associated with knights!

Our country has been a country of knights since ancient times. In ancient times, Jing Ke, Zhu Hai, and Li Bai said: "Killing one person in ten steps, you will not stay behind for a thousand miles!"

Until the popularity of martial arts culture in modern times, the gene of Kung Fu has always been stored in our minds!

In another world, there are many excellent kung fu movies, including Uncle Long's, Kung Fu Emperor's, and of course Universal Dan's!
Xu Qian doesn't want to make Uncle Long's movie yet!
Because most of Uncle Long's movies are life-threatening, of course, in this era, special effects can be used to complete, but some scenes are still unavoidable!
There are also many excellent movies of the Kung Fu Emperor, such as the famous Huang Feihong series, Fang Shiyu, and Jing Fu Men, etc.!

Of course, there is also the "Ip Man" series by Universal Dan!
The movie Xu Qian wants to shoot this time is "Ip Man" by Universe Dan!
Because in another world, most of the famous movies of Uncle Long and Kung Fu Emperor are from the 90s, so it is inevitable that they are a bit out of touch with the present!

And "Ip Man" is a kung fu movie of the 21st century, and it has gained a good reputation and a super high box office!
"Ip Man" is an action movie directed by Ye Weixin, starring Donnie Yen, Xiong Dailin, Ren Dahua and Fan Shaohuang.The film mainly tells the story of Ye Wen, a martial arts idiot in Foshan, Guangzhou in the 19th century, who carried the banner of revitalizing China in a series of competitions.

The film was released on December 2008, 12, with a box office of 16 million at its premiere, breaking through 1400 million at the first weekend, and a total box office of over 3000 million.

In 08, the box office exceeded [-] million yuan, which is still very powerful!
In fact, "Ip Man" has negative reviews!

In terms of thought, "Ip Man" has no special height; in terms of form, it is as old as "Fearless".

In terms of kung fu, it is not even as fierce as Yu Yudan's previous work "Slaying the Wolf". It can only be said to be well-behaved, but you can't find the surprises in "Slaying the Wolf" and "Fuse", which are similar to Donnie Yen's peak period. Compared with the films "Iron Monkey" and "Direct Witness", it is far worse.Compared with the male protagonist, the other characters in the movie are all foils, more facial makeup, and the handling of characters is simplified. Some actors have become a decoration for the star lineup, and they don't play much.The content of the film is more like a literary biopic most of the time.

Ye Xin manages to maintain the life style of his earlier "Juliet and Liang Shanbo", but it is still difficult to keep the suspense tight. Even if he won the best action director award, it is still difficult to carry the banner of revival of kung fu movies.

The two movies that Xu Qian had the deepest impression on Universe Dan were "Slaying the Wolf" and "Ip Man"!
Xu Qian thinks that this negative evaluation is not objective!
First of all, "Ip Man" is the highest-grossing film of Universal Dan!

Of course, we can't judge everything by the box office, especially movies from different eras!Because of factors such as inflation and the popularity of movies, the box office is not comparable at all!
But "Ip Man" is indeed the masterpiece of Universal Pill!
Before "Ip Man", Xu Qian personally didn't know much about Cosmos Pill. Although he had watched "Slaying the Wolf", he just felt that the final fighting scene was very exciting and exciting, and he didn't have a deep impression of Cosmos Pill. !
But after "Ip Man", Universe Pill has become the number one player in the universe. It can be said that everyone in the world knows the king. This is also a huge breakthrough in career for Universe Pill!
And compared to other films of Universal Dan, "Ip Man" also has some other advantages, for example, "Ip Man" can have a sequel!
That's right, if a movie wants to expand its influence, it is very wise to make a sequel!
Of course, not every movie can have a sequel. First of all, the first movie must be a huge success, and there must be easter eggs!

The United States has done a good job in this regard, not to mention those superhero series, just say "Mission Impossible" series, 007 series, Fast and Furious series, Terminator series, Transformers series, Matrix series, Haribo series special series, Twilight series. . . . . . . . . .These are sequel movies.

It's simply too much!
There are simply too many to count!

It can only be said to be terrifying!
In fact, Americans are also afraid of losing money. They know that there is an advantage to making a sequel movie, that is, they can use the popularity of the previous movie to get a high box office, which can reduce the chance of failure. If you lose money, you must use ip.

But it's normal for a sequel to have a hard time topping the first movie!
But there are exceptions, such as the Fast and the Furious series, which really shines in the sixth part. Of course, this is also related to the death of Paul Walker. Death marketing is the scariest thing!

"Ip Man" is a rare kung fu movie!He can be the beginning of Xu Qian's kung fu film!
Even in the future, Xu Qian will be able to shoot Mr. Xu's martial arts films. Although foreigners cannot appreciate Mr. Xu's martial arts films, they are after all one of the irreplaceable pearls in the history of Chinese film!

Kung fu and martial arts can overlap sometimes!
Now that he is planning to shoot Universal Dan's "Ip Man" series, Xu Qian has to seriously conceive the script!
