Chapter 799 Do We Need a Reason to Indulge Him?
The release of "Huang Feihong" quickly set off a wave of movie viewing in China.
Li Qian has a great reputation.
The reputation of singing, writing songs, picking up girls, making TV dramas, and the powerful reputation as a film director brought to him by the beautiful debut of "My Sassy Girl".
All of these make his new movie released, no matter what it is or how it is shot, it will be the first to collect fans' votes.
And because of the excellent theater evaluations gained by the early internal preview screenings, after the film was screened in 1935 canvases across the country, the screening rate quickly increased to a high of 42%!
This is a very high film rate.
So far, in China, only Zhao Meicheng, who is in the Spring Festival file, can get more than 50% of the screening rate in the early stage of the release, and even once can get more than 60%!
Apart from him, even Liu Chengzhang's "Sword Immortal", which had received extremely high expectations at the box office, was able to get 47% of the sky - no matter how high it is, it is close to impossible!
And once it enters the summer season, even the most popular films, it is difficult to get a stable rate of more than 40% in the second week of release!
This is the law of the film market, and no one can break it.
However, even a 42% film placement rate is already high enough! I have to say that although I started my internship with "On the Road" and started to get better and better and became famous from "My Sassy Girlfriend", until now, under the leadership of Qi Jie, Minghu Culture has started to release films. They have accumulated a certain amount of word-of-mouth and contacts—although there is still a certain gap with their strong strength in record release.
Of course, with a strong distribution capability, if the film is not good, it should be photographed!
There are countless precedents in film history.
But obviously, the word-of-mouth of "Huang Feihong" can't be bad at all!
This is a good movie and a good story that has been verified by the audience in another time and space, even for more than 20 years. In addition, because of the difference in time and space, it is an extremely novel "kung fu movie" in this time and space. The positioning and those incomparably novel martial arts action designs, as well as Li Qian's appropriate adjustments to the plot, setting and shooting according to the reality of this time and space...
All in all, it means that this movie will at least be a good movie to watch.
On the evening of the premiere ceremony, that is, the night of the official release, a lot of audience reviews had already appeared on the Internet, and by the next day, there were already newspapers and large portal websites in China that had pre-ordered the release.
"It's fresh, it's funny, it's fresh, you've never seen a 'kung fu' movie like this! There's no question that making two movies a year last year was not out of recklessness or arrogance, it just came from Strong and confident like a genius. Li Qian will continue to continue his success story, because "Once Upon a Time" is invincibly beautiful!"
——Entertainment Observer, the headline on the front page, "Full of Kung Fu-I see <Huang Feihong>"
"This story about a national hero is very good-looking and passionate. It is completely different from Guo Yulong's martial arts like a fairy and monster! He fights very realistically, but it is very exciting! Anyway, I personally will definitely like it. Go watch it a second time, as for whether you go or not, that is your problem! All I know is that if you don’t watch it, you will lose a good movie and a 100-minute super cool experience!”
——Suncheon Daily, Supplement, "Li Qian's "Kung Fu" - Talking about "Feihong" in and out of the play"
"After "My Sassy Girlfriend", Li Qian once again delivered an impeccable answer! It is also a light comedy, but this time he tells us about a national hero, and his powerful And true Kung Fu stories! New type, but equally good-looking! He has always been so brave to pioneer! And his pioneering can always bring us fresh, interesting and beautiful stories! Therefore, we love him , do we need a reason to indulge him? We can even accept him marrying even ten more concubines, even one hundred more confidante, and one thousand or ten thousand more gossip, as long as he can keep going for us. New songs and new movies are enough, isn't it? I think we need to accept the fact that a genius is often a bad boy, or at least a guy with so much energy that he has nowhere to vent his energy!"
——Oriental Times, Supplement, "I Love This Genius"
"I take back the doubts and criticisms I gave last year. After watching "Once Upon a Time" yesterday, I now think that Li Qian can try to make three movies this year, as long as he can be busy! Anyway, good movies, I don’t think it’s too much!... Finally, I want to ask, Hierarch, when can we see your legendary bald scene, that "Red Sorghum"?"
——Yanshan Metropolis Daily, Supplement, "A Letter of Apology from Me"
"Obviously, the incident of filming two movies in one year that was questioned by the media last year was just another underestimation of the creative genius of the leader that day. It is no different from every time before! In this new film "Once Upon a Time" In the film, the leader vividly demonstrated his abundant talent in film creation and his understanding of "Kung Fu"! I have to say that the whole story is beautifully told, light comedy, and there will be some hilarious scenes from time to time. The plot is fragmented, but looking at it as a whole, it makes people excited! And the most important thing is that the extremely exciting fighting actions on the movie screen will make you believe that such masters really exist in reality! It is the same as what we saw before The ups and downs of the countless martial arts movies I have seen is a completely different concept! From this, I can't help but think of the rumors in the circle that it is said that the leader himself is a kung fu master!... In short, watch After the premiere, I had the urge to learn kung fu from a master! It would be great if the master of 'Huang Feihong' or Zhou Baoshan accepted apprentices!"
——Sohu.com, headline summary report, "The leader may really be a kung fu master"

Although our boss is Li Qian Wife, but I never suck up to the boss, you all know that! So, they said let me write a movie review, it will give me a front page headline, and this is my movie review: This is a film worth seeing three times It’s a good movie!

…………
The concept of kung fu movies has never been new in China.
This is true whether it is this time and space or another time and space.
After all, isn’t it just kung fu plus a movie, or to put it simply, is to make a movie about a story that shows kung fu and is related to kung fu?
As long as the film industry develops to a certain level, when the filmmakers encounter a bottleneck in filming the simplest and most intimate stories, it will only be a matter of time before this thing of kung fu will appear on the big screen.
Of course, history is full of inevitability, but at the same time it is full of chance.
For example, in the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, there was a peerless genius who was still amazed decades later, and his name was Bruce Lee.
But in this time and space, there is no such a genius.
In another time and space, Bruce Lee pioneered the concept of "Kung Fu Movies" and achieved great success all over the world. Although it is the time and the trend, what is more important is that he really has a peerless kung fu that surpasses the past. , So, he went from a "Kung Fu" superstar to a Kung Fu "superstar" smoothly! And in an extremely wonderful way, the concept of Kung Fu has been successfully promoted to the whole world.
After him, there have been such masterpieces as "Shaolin Temple" in China, and Hong Kong has successively produced and completely achieved a large number of kung fu superstars such as Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, etc. In the Hong Kong film industry in the 1980s and 1990s, quite a number of female stars appeared!
Of course, when the concept of kung fu movies falls into the hands of Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others, they can still become international superstars by virtue of kung fu, but their real kung fu is really difficult to achieve absolute convincing power like Bruce Lee—— You are making a kung fu movie, but you may not be able to win many masters in real fights. The persuasive power of this itself is weaker.
Therefore, Bruce Lee is a Kung Fu master and a Kung Fu superstar. His popularity and his Kung Fu movies are admired by European and American audiences. This kind of subject matter, in terms of personal charm, has been greatly weakened.
Although... Jet Li is also a real kung fu master, but that doesn't work either.
But in this time and space, there is no Bruce Lee.
Although the concept of "Chinese Kung Fu" has always been quite attractive in Western society, and was once labeled as "Oriental" and "mysterious", the concept of Kung Fu movies has always been submerged in martial arts. In the concept of movies, no one has seriously thought about exploring the concept of "Chinese Kung Fu" in addition to the concept of martial arts movies.
And now, Li Qian is the first person to eat crabs.
Although it is quite a pity, neither he nor Zhou Baoshan has the top-notch kung fu of Bruce Lee! So at present, whether this movie can be promoted all over the world is still doubtful so far, but at least, in China, in a country that has watched countless martial arts movies, it is so eye-catching. There is definitely a market for such "new martial arts" and such "kung fu movies"!
Word of mouth exploded, predictably and surprisingly, from the day after the premiere.
At the same time, the box office exploded all the way!
A "Kung Fu" shock wave spread out with lightning speed!
