Chapter 346 The final ending (with this testimonial attached)

2016 12 Month 17 Day.

Beijing.

Deep Space Cinemas is already one of the largest cinemas in China. After so many years of development, and the continuous blood transfusion from Deep Space Film and Television every year, Deep Space Cinemas has already gained decisive strength.

And now it is the IMAX movie hall of Shenkong Cinema Line in Beijing, and it is also the largest IMAX theater of Shenkong Cinema Line in China. It can accommodate more than 500 people, but today it is full.

Today is the premiere of "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan".

"Iron Blood Ping Xingguan" is the largest scene and scheduling among Chen Xi's films. At the most time, 5000 extras were used. The consumption of various materials and props is an astronomical figure. The filming was originally planned to be completed before February 2016. , but not only exceeded the budget in the middle, but the filming was not completed until April, and the film was already produced in November, so it is really a bit rushed to release it like this now.

In fact, when Chen Xi was filming a movie like "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan", many people even immediately felt that they didn't want to like him anymore, because they hated such glorified things.

The main theme used to be too much, so now many people's anti-theme is also overcorrected, and all such movies just don't care about anything, just scold first and then talk about it.

Chen Xi laughed it off without any explanation or anything else.

Throughout the filming process, "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan" continued the filming thinking of "Late Ming". Whether it is from the screenwriter or from the scene scheduling and props, it must restore the historical facts as much as possible. Of course, because of this, "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan" almost had problems in the review several times.

This is mainly in shaping the combat effectiveness of both China and Japan. In "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan", even a random Japanese soldier is definitely not as easy to kill as a chicken and a dog as in the anti-Japanese drama. They have a tenacious fighting will, good nutrition, and high quality individual soldiers. It usually takes several Chinese soldiers to exchange the life of a Japanese soldier... Even the flesh and blood of the Red Army who came over the mountains, in the face of These Japanese troops were still not opponents at the time.

In this regard, Chen Xi had several heated debates with his superiors... In the end, fortunately, he continued this shooting method. After all, even the superiors had to say, but restoring the historical facts in this way can better explain the scene The importance of the battle is able to show the spirit of the Chinese people who know that there is no way out but are desperate.

Blindly masturbating that the opponent is weak will only expose one's own weakness. On the contrary, acknowledging the strength of the enemy can only bring out one's own tenacity.

The war scene is the main selling point of "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan". In this regard, Chen Xi also had to hold his nose and invited a Hollywood team. At the same time, he also used IMAX3D to shoot real shots. The 3D effect is more amazing post-production special effects.

The war scenes occupy 117 minutes out of the 48 minutes of "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan". This is a very high ratio, so it must be done well.

Because of everyone's rebellious psychology and so on, "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan" increased more investment in the promotion, and at the same time adjusted the promotion strategy, mainly from the restoration of historical facts and the huge special effects of "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan" Article, after all, Chen Xi didn't want to make it into a situation like "Hundred Regiments War"...that would be too embarrassing for him.

...After so many months of polishing and careful production, it is officially launched today.

Chen Xi's clothes today were relatively simple, and he looked serious. He answered a few reporters' questions casually.

"Director Chen, do you think everyone can agree with this kind of theme movie?"

Chen Xi said: "If the movie is well shot, everyone will naturally agree that it has nothing to do with the main theme. Some people may be disgusted when they hear the main theme. How to solve it? Naturally, it is better to use good movies and use quality to speak .”

"Can you predict the box office?"

"I hope it can reach 10 billion..." Chen Xi said this, but in fact he didn't know what to do.

"Interstellar"'s 26 billion mainland box office is firmly nailed to the first position, and it should not come down in the short term. If "Iron Blood Flat Type" gets several hundred million, it is a bit doubtful that his strength will decline. up.

However, he is not sure about everyone's thoughts, and he is also worried that many people will not watch it because of their rebellious psychology, but also make people around them not watch it, and create public opinion to make everyone not watch it.

These are not clear.

...Although this is the main theme film, many people don't like it very much, but those who came to the scene today still filled the cinema.

After all, this is Chen Xi's movie!

A large crowd of moviegoers including journalists, film critics and many fans occupy the place.

In fact, for many movie fans, the so-called rebellion against the main theme is not that serious. The "Late Ming" filmed by Chen Xi gave them a lot of confidence, and made them agree with Chen Xi's next "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan" from the bottom of their hearts. .

After the movie officially started, everyone quickly sank into the war-torn years.

The movie is indeed very sophisticated. There are no well-dressed and brand-new soldiers in traditional anti-Japanese dramas. Instead, many of the clothes worn by the soldiers are tattered, but they are cleaned very energetically. Many people can't wear military uniforms. , just wearing a hat, just like the guerrillas in traditional anti-Japanese dramas... However, there is a real look in their eyes.

The equipment of the national army is better, but it can also restore history.

And the first battle broke out after the opening of the movie.

Surprisingly, the first battle of "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan" not only started with the national army, but also an extremely tragic street battle, and the national army here is by no means all people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. On the contrary, many of them have the feeling of killing the enemy and serving the country, and this first battle is the Battle of Tianzhen.

This war immediately fascinated everyone. The extreme 3D effect made many people feel that the bullets and bayonets of the Japanese devils were flying towards them. Many people tried their best to dodge these things. For these They finally had a new understanding of the horror of the battlefield.

These are not the Japanese soldiers who can kill more than a dozen Japanese soldiers with one arrow in "The Arrow on the String", nor are they the Japanese soldiers who were tortured by martial arts masters like chopping melons and vegetables in "Anti-Japanese Heroes". Soldiers who seem to be orderly and difficult to kill... Everyone really saw the horror of the Japanese here.

Dealing with the Japanese here is much more difficult than in "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling". In "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling", the equipment and strength of the national army are also enlarged, but they are not here, and this is just a restoration.

A battle made everyone see an effect that was even more tragic than "Saving Private Ryan", and many people had tears in their eyes unknowingly.

The battle of Tianzhen lasted for several days, and the national army paid a tragic sacrifice. The Japanese army could not attack Tianzhen for a long time and had to take a detour to occupy Yanggao. Many of the soldiers in the town were beating their chests and feet, crying loudly, unwilling to leave.

At this time, their tears were mixed with iron and blood. Not only did many people not feel that they were cowardly, but they actually shed tears along with them in the movie theater, even they themselves did not know why they shed.

Tianzhen fell, and the entire northern Shanxi was exposed to the front of the Japanese army. The Battle of Pingxingguan officially kicked off.

The movie started to move forward. At this time, it began to describe all kinds of intertwined forces, and also described any details. Many people have already sunk into the movie, and even sunk into that era. Therefore, everyone's hearts began to become heavy. : This is an almost unsolvable situation.

The Japanese army is really too powerful...

This is the belief that has been established in everyone's hearts. At this moment, everyone who is watching the movie just feels that the dark clouds are overwhelming in their hearts, and they can't see a shred of hope.

They also understood what kind of situation the Chinese in that era were facing.

Therefore, when the Eighth Route Army made the decision to ambush at Pingxingguan, many people felt chills on the soles of their feet even if they knew the later historical facts: How to fight?how to spell?
At the same time, the Eighth Route Army attacked the Japanese army in Lingqiu and Laiyuan. The battles here were still quite tragic, and the 3D effect was even more frightening to watch, especially when the bayonets were fighting with cold weapons. The feeling of going straight to the eyes made many people even take off their 3D glasses.

War is not only the magnificence described in the poems, not only the mighty action of millions of soldiers crossing the river, but more importantly, it is still such a knife and gun fight, a drop of blood, and a pile of flesh colliding.

But here, the Eighth Route Army is too difficult to fight. They lack ammunition. Many times, even if they have the upper hand, they can only charge with bayonets, but they can't beat them at all with bayonets. This kind of courage that is inferior to others in every way makes everyone feel an electric current slipping through their bodies, and an extreme shock and excitement directly rushes up in their hearts.

Therefore, this added something scary to the Pingxingguan ambush, and everyone didn't know whether it was meaningful to do so.

However, the preparations for the Eighth Route Army are still going on, their marches and their various efforts have continued.

Watching this movie, everyone no longer talks to each other, they just concentrate on it, and some people still hold on to the handle of the seat next to them.

In addition to the tragic battle here, there are also many people's own warmth, which makes everyone feel the characteristics of that era. At the same time, there is also a kind of hatred for the Japanese army that is about to destroy everything. Therefore, depression and this kind of hatred , all kinds of emotions are constantly piling up, waiting for the final total eruption.

And the final outbreak was this Pingxingguan ambush!
The movie didn't use just a few military vehicles to fool people, but let the Japanese army's supply team create the effect of vehicles with almost no end in sight.

At the beginning of this battle, the Eighth Route Army fired almost all machine guns, and everyone rushed down immediately. This was to avoid being judged by the Japanese army about their specific combat effectiveness, and this kind of battle would be meaningless if it did not become a war of annihilation. Because it cannot be an annihilation battle, everything is almost impossible to seize.

The ambush at Pingxingguan, which echoed the opening battle of Tianzhen, started. When everything reached its climax, everyone stared wide-eyed, not daring to miss anything that happened inside.

When all the dust settled, many people breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in their chairs. The final 16-minute battle scene made their hearts feel like they had experienced a baptism. Everyone finally knew the victory of Pingxingguan The significance of knowing what it means to break the myth that the Japanese army is invincible.

They also know that this battle has inspired the whole of China. Of course, at the same time, they have seen more of the struggle of this nation, the kind of resilience that has fallen to the bottom but is still maintained.

... At the end of the movie, the effect of this battle was not overstated, because even with this great victory at Pingxingguan, the Japanese army still occupied it soon... This made everyone understand a truth at once, all Strategies, in the face of absolute strength, do not have much effect. To truly win a war, it depends on the state machine and industrial power. Some tactics cannot save the entire strategy from collapsing.

However, at the same time, the Eighth Route Army moved into the enemy's rear and became an unstable force that made the Japanese army gnash their teeth, but could never catch and kill them...

The movie is officially over!

At the end of the movie, everyone felt a little relaxed and even a little exhausted. They really invested too much emotion and anticipation in watching this movie. At this time, they can only say that it is worth the money!There are no exaggerations and disgusting exaggerations in this movie, some are just a down-to-earth restoration of history and a little dramatic treatment.

After watching it, everyone couldn't be calm for a long time, and their heads were always full of the tragedy and persistence of the ancestors, and their minds were full of the flames of war in the movie.

The applause lasted for 3 minutes in the cinema!

Immediately after the end of "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan", various comments on this movie appeared on the Internet.

"The most realistic, shocking, and infectious anti-Japanese war movie I have ever seen. There are no hand-ripped devils here, but it makes people feel the strength and tenacity of the Chinese people. There are no Japanese soldiers like chickens and dogs, but On the contrary, it makes people feel the power of spirit! Thanks to Chen Xi for filming "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan", this will definitely rectify the name of Chinese anti-Japanese war movies!"

"Any bit of research and restoration has created such a wonderful "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan". Chen Xi proved his ability to deal with these historical things in "The Late Ming", and now he is in "Iron Blood Ping Xingguan". "It can be described as a great achievement! After watching it, many people were moved and shocked to tears."

... So many movie critics have reassured many fans who are still watching. Sure enough, the follow-up screenings also showed this, so after the release of "Jie Xueping", although the box office on the first day was 2 million yuan compared to Chen Xi's other movies It's not high, but the word-of-mouth after this movie has been rising all the way. Douban score and time score have reached 9.1 points. Under this strong word-of-mouth, the box office of the movie is getting higher and higher, maintaining a kind of magic As a result, in the first week of the movie, it actually got a box office of 9 million yuan. In the end, it spent a total of 21.47 billion yuan at the box office. Although it is not as good as "Interstellar", a war movie with the main theme has reached such a level. , as one can imagine, the meaning in the middle.

Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, finally achieved the previous promise to the superior and far exceeded it, after all, 21.47 billion is worthless.

After all, this is a red movie in the eyes of foreigners, so even with Chen Xi, some filmmakers would still reject the export route. However, some countries and regions still bought the copyright, and found that the response was quite good. And after difficult negotiations and various debates, the film was finally released in North America, and even in Europe and some other countries and regions, and even in Japan.

The film finally received a box office of 2.17 million US dollars in these countries and regions (4780 million US dollars in North America and 2048 million US dollars in Japan). Like it, because they see a magical spiritual power in it.

As a result, the global box office of the movie still reached 5.3 million US dollars!Surprised many people.

This kind of achievement finally made Chen Xi feel relieved. Now, he not only completed the test given to him by his superiors, but even surpassed it by a lot. At the same time, he also gained confidence in himself. In fact, this is very important.

"Iron Blood Ping Xingguan" was given to him by the superior to see if he could stand the test. In the end, the global box office of 5 million US dollars has proved everything, so Chen Xi set the goal since he got Chen Xi's soul , will finally begin to materialize.

A magnificent new world unfolds before Chen Xi's eyes.

...September 2018.

Chen Xi stood at the door of China Film Group.

"Iron Blood Ping Xingguan" allowed him to get the status he wanted, so the things that were discussed before are now officially started, the reorganization of China Film, and the reform of China's film industry again, which is unfolding vigorously.

Chen Xi's goal now has a basis for realization.

With the backing of the country, all this is not just empty talk.

He is no longer a businessman, but through those things before, he has entered the class of scholars, and what awaits him is a future with a strategic plan.

At this moment, the morning sun is scattered, and there is a kind of pure light in the air, flying dust dances in the morning glow, and a round of sun rises from the east, making everything full of vitality.

The era of Chinese movies is coming...

【End of the book】

Comments on the end of this book: Another book has been written!
100 million words, nearly a year!
I don't know what it feels like in my heart, there is relaxation, regret, and sadness.

Chen Xi's story is over.

However, the story of Chinese films has just begun.

What I wanted to write at the beginning was to leverage the entire industrial layout, and expand a road for Chinese films through the integration of theaters, distribution, and production, but the pen was not strong enough, and the deeper I got to know, the more frightened I was, and many things were not at all. This is taken for granted.

Everyone should be able to see that Lao Zhong loves Chinese movies deeply and deeply. I am Chinese, I love Chinese movies, and I am Chinese, so I hate such Chinese movies.

There are too many people muddying the water, and we, who have made so many classic movies, have fallen to the point where we are flooded with all kinds of so-called youth movies and chick movies. This is the choice of the market, but it is also the choice of film production. depraved.

Still, keep your hopes up for it.

About myself, I don’t know what to say for a long time. Lao Zhong is not a newcomer. He started writing books in 09. After so many years, the book writers around him have become gods one after another, but I am still in the quagmire. Struggling and not seeing much hope.

Writing a book is the same as being an actress. If you don't become famous at a certain age, your chances will become less and less after that. Moreover, what you fear most is to see your companions getting better and better, but you will fall back if you don't advance.

I am also worried about panic and fear, but I can only do it little by little, even if I know that I may have a problem with my talent, or something else...

I always see a lot of talented authors, just write casually, thousands of people follow thousands of books, but if the grades drop a little and even don’t want to write, they will be eunuchs. I feel really uncomfortable. I am watching "Screen Age" , although the grades are also very poor, and there are occasional updates, but I have been insisting on writing. I have written many books on the street before, and I insist on finishing them, but I can't see too much return. I can't wait to see others wasting their talents. I also have that kind of thing, after all, at least I don't lack diligence.

It's a pity that this is just a dream, and many things may be decided after birth...

At this time "Screen Age" is over, I have a lot of words in my heart, and I also feel lost and sentimental, but there is no way. something to write.

The new book should be released in the next month or so. I will continue with the entertainment article and return to the otherworldly entertainment stream of "The Great Heavenly King Reborn". I hope everyone will support it!

Thanks again Lao Zhong!
