Chapter 176 Embroidered Spring Knife

Chapter 176 Embroidered Spring Knife
Chen Xi's new movie book is "Embroidered Spring Knife".

In fact, the choice of this movie, for him, has taken a lot of consideration from the perspective of reputation... Now that he is launching this movie, he also has a relatively utilitarian plan.

The movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" was officially released in 2014, which is actually quite a long time ago, but Chen Xi is not just saying that he wants to remake all the more recent movies in the most recent time.

Now he just chooses according to the movies that suit him.

This movie is just right!
In fact, the previous point of view is not incorrect, that is, martial arts films are declining, especially costume martial arts films.

But Chen Xi's idea is not to follow the trend, or to say that he will not do anything against the trend at all... On the contrary, he always believes that things like trends can be led or even created!

For example, it is said that martial arts movies have completely declined, and there are not many people who like kung fu movies... But the problem is that this year's one movie "Ip Man" was a big success, not only in China, but also in China. Sales in various countries are very good.

Even the second part after that, also had a very good response at home and abroad, especially the second part. In the end, it was more traditional and old-fashioned punching Westerners, but the evaluation in the United States is still quite good. IMDB's score is higher than China's film review sites are all high.

Therefore, many people say that martial arts films have declined because they have seen Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers", "Curse of the Golden Armor" and even "The Banquet", but have not seen other successful films.As long as he puts his heart into it, and with the help of knowledge from the future, Chen Xi believes that he will be able to do things that others can't think of, and these things will also make him stronger.

After that, many people really asked Chen Xi directly, mainly about the details of this movie.

There is indeed a need for a lot of discussion about the details of the movie.

Moreover, many people still have some ideas about the movie plan that Chen Xi put forward so empty-handedly. Although Chen Xi has proved himself several times a long time ago, when it comes to new times, especially with many people, he does not have the same ideas. At the same time, disputes and differences of opinion will still arise, such as now.

However, Chen Xi is very patient. In fact, for everyone's questions, it is also a question of convincing himself and working hard to improve. This plan is absolutely impossible to be seamless, and there will even be many things that have major problems in feasibility, so now some When people speak out their doubts, they can also make some adjustments and improvements in a targeted manner. Chen Xi has planned these things long ago.

After more than an hour of this discussion, Chen Xi basically convinced these people who had been doubting him, and then his own film plan appeared in front of everyone.

The film is planned to be prepared and shot in March, April, and May, and then to start the post-production, and wait until July and August to be released, but it is also very likely to be moved to September...because August is the long-awaited Chinese film festival. The Olympics in front of my house, if the Olympics really appears, it will have a very strong impact on the film market, so Chen Xi plans to keep the film pending. If in China, the film schedule is not full at that stage and there are no blockbusters, My own movie can also be released at that time. If there are too many blockbuster movies at that stage and the schedule is too full... then it will be meaningless. It's better to wait until September, or to release it earlier in June and July!

But the release in June and July is a bit rushed. Although Chen Xi's "Xiu Chun Knife" is still a copied movie, this film is a costume film, and it is also the first time that Chen Xi and everyone have actually shot a costume movie, so in terms of production More space needs to be left. After all, just looking for scenes, props, and costumes will take longer than the previous movies, and during the shooting, many scenes are involved. Chen Xi personally confirmed the trouble in "Raid", and the film "Xiu Chun Knife" is definitely not an ordinary fighting effect, but requires real swords and guns. "Raid" also emphasizes reality, but the relatively realistic but beautiful effect is actually quite difficult to shoot, and it may not be better than "Raid".

In fact, strictly speaking, the fighting aspect of "Xiu Chun Knife" is also remarkable...

Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Xi felt that although she still felt that it would be better to hurry up the film, there was no need to rush it too much. If it was too rushed, it would easily lead to quality problems.

The word-of-mouth of the original version of "Xiu Chun Knife" is quite good, especially on Douban Movies. From the beginning, it was all at [-]:[-], and then it soared to [-]:[-], and then it stayed at [-]:[-] and didn't come down. However, the ratings on Douban movies can explain a lot of problems, especially for movies with strong emotional conflicts.

Even if you don't talk about Douban movies, on the more professional time website, the movie has a score of [-] points...

At the very beginning, because of the influence of certain movie stars, everyone would think that this movie was actually a bad movie, nothing to watch, but later found that it was surprisingly good, and word of mouth continued to emerge.At the very beginning, the director of this film thought that the film could exceed [-] million box office in just one weekend, but it turns out that his estimate was too optimistic...

As a result, the subsequent films encountered the phenomenon of being well-received or not well-received... In those few years, many Chinese films were either not well-received or not well-received, and there were not many cases of being well-received or not...

However, with the increasing word-of-mouth of the movie, the movie box office has experienced reverse growth many times, and the movie box office has maintained a growth rate, and finally reached the threshold of 9000 million!
This number makes many people think that the box office of this film is a hit, but in fact, in terms of investment and return, the film "Embroidered Spring Knife" may not have made much money, but it definitely made money .

As for why the movie was well-received or not, there are many reasons...but one is obvious: the movie was not well publicized at all!From the beginning to the end, many people didn't know about this film, and they only knew about this film after the film's word-of-mouth became popular.The publicity is really bad...

Of course, in fact, from the perspective of the pure film itself, "Xiu Chun Knife" is one of the performances of carefully crafting the film. It did not spend money on tricking the audience into the cinema. This point can give them a thumbs up.

But from the perspective of film investment, this is a complete failure... The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and we are talking about this era.

And Chen Xi's company, after "People on the Journey", has become more and more mature in terms of film promotion, and has made quite good progress. They have stronger and stronger energy, so this question Chen Xi It can definitely be solved.

In addition, there is still a problem with the original version of the movie, that is, a certain actor is very controversial. Many people think that they have seen a bad movie when they see her: Liu Shishi.

It is true that Liu Shishi also has a lot of fans, and the fans are saying good things about her, but there are really a lot of bad reviews about her, especially in terms of acting skills. Although many people think that Liu Shishi's acting skills are quite good, But there are also many people who think she is a zombie face.

However, she really can't grasp some things very well.

For this point, Chen Xi can solve it better...

In fact, even if there is no such reason, Chen Xi would not use Liu Shishi. He personally does not think Liu Shishi can handle the role in the movie very well. At least this role in the movie may be better played by other people... ...Of course, it is not easy to find a particularly good actress for the heroine role of "Embroidered Spring Knife", and the acting skills of the heroine are not very important.

In fact, in the whole of China now, it is very difficult to find young, beautiful, and popular actresses, and you have to find cheap ones... well, basically you can't find them.There are so many actors in China now, but it is really not easy to find suitable actors.

Strange circle...

So now Chen Xi is trying to lower the requirements for actors in some aspects, such as popularity and acting skills... But the appearance value cannot be lowered, because of the setting of the movie, the role of this woman must be all over the country. If you think about it this way In fact, the most suitable person is Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei is an actress, um, although she has acted in so many movies and TV shows, her acting skills have basically not improved, but her face is enough to explain everything. She just needs to act as a vase, let It's enough for Zhang Zhen to act.

Liu Yifei is the kind of person whose appearance is almost impeccable, but...Chen Xi can't afford her salary, and don't look at Liu Yifei has almost never made any movies with good ratings, but when she chooses movies, she asks the director Relatively high, I might not really be able to hire her, and even if I did, the salary would not be affordable.

This guy's salary in "The King of Kung Fu" has reached 100 million US dollars. Of course, her asking price for domestic movies may not be that high, but without the 300-500 million, she will definitely not be able to win this woman... So Liu Yifei can basically pass, even if Chen Xi thinks it is suitable.

Liu Yifei can't do it, Chen Xi has many alternatives, such as Gao Yuanyuan, Tong Liya, Shu Chang, etc... But here, Gao Yuanyuan is indeed that kind of impeccable beauty, but Chen Xi always thinks that Gao Yuanyuan is more suitable for modern clothes, and Tong Liya's ancient costumes are beautiful When she played Zhao Feiyan, she performed vividly, but Tong Liya was obviously not a Han Chinese, and she played the role of a Han Chinese lady, which is more troublesome. Shu Chang is more suitable for everything, but the popularity is not high.

... Now that Chen Xi finally found out, it was really difficult for him to choose an actor!
