Chapter 758 Shameless Leo, "One Step Away" Is Online, Word of Mouth, Film Reviews

Chapter 758 Shameless little Li Zi, "One Step Away" is released, word-of-mouth movie reviews...

As soon as he landed in North America, Chen Fei saw the box office data report on "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley" on an entertainment news website:

"Co-produced by Feiyue Film, China Film, Release, and Wanda, directed by Ning Hao, starring Liu Ye, Shu Chang, Chen Minghao and others.

The fantasy adventure epic "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley" with an investment of up to 600 million yuan was a box office hit on the day of its domestic premiere, successfully earning 180 million yuan! "

"Major theater chains jointly announced that they will once again increase the film schedule of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley", and the current share is as high as 48%."

"Affected by "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley", the box office of "Peace Wheel (Part 1)" reached a new low, falling to 2.35 million."

Prior to this, many domestic film and television production companies believed that "Pacific Rim 2" would become the overlord of this year's Lunar New Year movies.

But as soon as the first-day box office data of "Ghost 2" came out, everyone suddenly realized that there is a stronger among the best!

At this moment, others were fine, but Jiang Wen was doubly stressed.

Facing the double offensive of "Pacific Rim 2" and "Ghost Blowing Lantern 2", if "One Step Away" wants to successfully stand out, the pressure it will bear is not ordinary!

…

"Fei, long time no see."

At the Los Angeles Airport, Chen Fei just walked out of the airport and saw Leonardo with a big belly and a smile on his face as if a flower had bloomed.

At this moment, he felt helpless.

Although he has been in China before, he has never forgotten to pay attention to the news in Hollywood.

As the Academy mails out ballots, the Oscars' public relations push intensifies.

Leonardo is a guy who is completely willing to go all out. He actually appeared on the Ellen Show not long ago and talked about the journey he went through to hone his acting skills over the years on TV. The hardships involved make people want to cry. .

"Get in the car first."

Seeing that fans were already gathering around him, Chen Fei took a few steps quickly, opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

With the roar of the accelerator, the Cadillac sped straight out, leaving only a pipe of exhaust gas for the group of paparazzi behind.

In the car, Chen Fei deliberately opened the video playback software and watched Leonardo's speech when he participated in the Ellen Show.

The further he looked back, the weirder his expression became.

"Leon, if I remember correctly, I asked you to be ugly, not miserable, right?"

Leonardo held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and said with a grimace, "Do you know how miserable I have been in order to hone my acting skills over the years?"

He honked the horn fiercely, urging the car in front of him, and at the same time he did not forget to defend himself: "I am 50 pounds fatter than I was in 2000. Isn't this miserable enough?"

"Yeah, you are so miserable Leonardo!" Chen Fei rolled his eyes, unable to hear this guy being miserable in front of him: "Have you had more than a dozen official girlfriends? Dozens of informal ones? , and every one of them is a supermodel with a named name..."

Leonardo raised his finger and shook it, carrying out his shamelessness to the extreme: "Fei, your statement is completely wrong. It is obvious that I was abandoned by more than a dozen women one after another, and I was extremely miserable..."

Chen Fei was speechless after hearing these shameless remarks.

No wonder this guy can date so many girlfriends. Being thick-skinned is also a great advantage. Most people can't compare to him!

"Fei, have I understood the essence of winning prizes now?"

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded: "Although it is a bit shameless, this is indeed the essence of Oscar public relations."

The Cadillac drove forward and finally stopped at a hotel.

Leonardo got out of the car, and while leading Chen Fei to the hotel, he said: "There is an art exhibition today, and many Hollywood stars will be attending. It is a good place for public relations."

"Um."

Chen Fei nodded and didn't pay too much attention.

He came here this time to celebrate the Oscar, so some drinking parties were definitely unavoidable.

And even if you don't want to participate, you have to force yourself to go, otherwise the group of academic old white men will definitely refuse to vote for "The Revenant" on the grounds of "disrespecting the Oscars."

It's no surprise that they do this so often.

…

It is said to be an art exhibition, but in fact it is still the same.

Drinking wine, giving gifts, and dating girls.

Compared with China, Hollywood is obviously much more open.

It was obviously an art exhibition, but Chen Fei didn't see any serious art. Looking around, everything was full of ghosts and ghosts.

Can you stand it when all the waiters serving drinks are wearing bikinis?

What Chen Fei couldn't accept the most was that an American Internet celebrity actually appeared in such a place. His fat ass was about to burst, and he felt a sense of alienation in his heart.

Just for this, many people posted it specifically, and even showed a look of interest on their faces. The taste is simply too strong!

After staying for more than an hour and receiving a lot of business cards, Chen Fei dragged the drunken Leonardo out of the hotel.

The accompanying bodyguard was responsible for driving the two of them to the villa in Beverly Hills.

Although I haven't been here for several months, people are always cleaning the villa, so you can stay here at any time.

After opening the guest room door and throwing Xiao Lizi on the bed, Chen Fei went to the bathroom and took a shower.

After changing into a more comfortable set of pajamas, he first sent his assistant to buy food, and then he curled up on the sofa and picked up a copy of the Hollywood Daily that was delivered today and started reading it.

It would have been fine if he hadn't read it, but when he did, he suddenly felt his eyes burning, as if they were burned by fire!

I don't know what Disney was thinking, but they actually set their sights on "Journey to the West", one of the four great Chinese classics, and prepared to shoot a US version of "Journey to the West" themed drama.

Even the male lead has been decided, and it is the Chinese actor Wu Yanzu!

In addition to the male lead, Yang Ziqiong, who plays Guanyin Bodhisattva, has also been confirmed.

"My goodness, this... what the hell is this?"

Looking at the makeup photo of Wu Yanzu's version of Sun Wukong pasted on the newspaper, Chen Fei couldn't hold it anymore.

It's okay to have a big greasy yellow hair, but he actually has a beard, which looks like a golden lion king, which is extremely weird.

At this moment, Chen Fei understood why Teacher Liu was so keen on being a troll.

With this makeup photo, he dared to say that he was the man of destiny, Sun Wukong?

The more Chen Fei looked at it, the more he felt uncomfortable. He simply crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can beside him.

I don't know why, Hollywood has become more and more devilish in recent years, with all kinds of bad movies and bad dramas rampant, which makes people feel like they are in heaven.

He took the laptop from the side and just opened it, and several pop-up messages jumped out.

"The box office of "Ghost Blowing the Light: Yunnan Worm Valley" has set a new record. The box office exceeded 200 million yuan the next day, and the whole network has received good reviews and word of mouth."

"The movie "One Step Away" directed by Director Jiang Wen held its premiere ceremony in the capital today. The atmosphere was warm, and many top domestic directors came to the scene to send congratulations and praise."

"The TV series "Ode to Joy" produced by Feiyue Film and Television was officially announced to be completed in the capital today..."

Chen Fei focused on the news about the premiere of "One Step Away".

Jiang Wen was still so "confident". Even at the premiere, facing the "gaze" of hundreds of industry insiders, he still said that his movie was unprecedented.

On the other hand, the directors who attended the premiere avoided the main issues and gave vague responses when they were interviewed by the media.

What everyone talked about most was the movie screen, the actors' acting skills, and the 3D effects. As for the core storyline, no one mentioned it at all.

The media didn't understand the business here, and they just thought that the core story was perfect and impeccable.

So, the good reviews on the Internet were like waves in the sea, constantly pouring out.

As for the bad reviews, there were none.

Chen Fei suddenly felt sorry for Jiang Wen. He was brainwashed by the overwhelming good reviews and believed that his movie would definitely sell well after it was released.

But what he didn't know was that it wouldn't be long before he had to rely on Han Sanping, the general producer of "The Crossing (Part 1)".

The latter had not appeared in public for a while, and even did not attend the premiere of "Ghost Blowing Light 2", as if he had no face to see people.

…

The next morning, Chen Fei first went to a preview of "The Revenant" with Leonardo, and then went to Walt Disney Studios.

The post-production of "Avengers 2" was almost done, and only some finishing work was left.

Taking advantage of the free time, he could just check the effects of the finished part of the film.

While it was still early, once a problem was found, it could be corrected in time.

A busy morning passed quickly, and in the afternoon, he went to Walt Disney Studios again to observe the filming process of "Geostorm".

In the evening, he went to DreamWorks Animation again to learn about the production of three animated films, "Kung Fu Panda 4", "How to Train Your Dragon 3" and "Inside Out".

The lights were on, and another cocktail party was coming.

One gift after another was thrown out, as if splashing green US dollars.

Oscar public relations is actually equivalent to a gamble. If the bet is won, then naturally there will be a double harvest of awards and box office.

But if the bet is lost, in addition to the mess, there will even be a broken capital chain.

Many film and television companies are established in Hollywood every day, but similarly, the number of bankrupt companies is positively proportional to the number of established companies.

There are not even more than two slaps that can really stand for a long time and survive.

Fortunately, Walton Pictures is still at the stage where it can stand, and it is also showing a thriving posture.

As for other companies, including the six top film and television companies in Hollywood, it seems that they have begun to live off their old capital.

...

Another night ended, Chen Fei walked out of the hotel with a little drunkenness, declined the company of several female stars, and then got in the car and rushed to the villa.

The Hollywood nude photo scandal a few months ago seemed to have no effect on these female stars. They still went their own way and did not shy away.

Although they could accept it, Chen Fei felt a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, he did not follow Leonardo's example and hugged the two young actresses and went straight to the guest room upstairs in the hotel.

After returning to the villa, taking a shower and getting rid of the smell of alcohol on his body, Chen Fei curled up on the sofa again and checked the news on the other side of the ocean with interest.

Another day passed, and the box office numbers on the entertainment news website were updated in real time.

"The third-day box office of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Yunnan Worm Valley" has been released, and it has successfully earned 150 million yuan. The total box office of the first three days of the weekend has reached 560 million yuan, and the screening rate has increased again..."

"The movie "One Step Away" produced by Buyi Lehu Films, directed by Jiang Wen, and starring Jiang Wen, Ge You, Zhou Yun, Shu Qi, Wang Zhiwen, Wen Zhang and others, earned 115 million yuan on the first day of its release."

"It is reported that, unlike previous predictions, the reputation of "One Step Away" has not exploded, and the polarization is extremely serious."

"Jiang Wen, has he run out of ideas? "Let the Bullets Fly" will be the last masterpiece of his directorial career?"

On the sofa, Chen Fei adjusted his sitting posture and read the comments about "One Step Away" with interest.

There is nothing amazing in the media reports. Everyone seems to be holding back and has not completely exploded.

On the other hand, the comments of netizens have exploded.

As the media reported, from word of mouth to film reviews, everything is polarized.

Looking around, people either praise or criticize, and no one uses fair words to evaluate.

People who like this movie and Jiang Wen simply love it to the core:

"It's obviously a good movie, I don't understand why there are so many complaints? In this era, many directors make movies just to make quick money, but this movie has gotten rid of the secular world and has profound meaning. It is a masterpiece!"

"I just feel that the story of the movie is very complete. As for the connotation... I dare not comment on it. At least something is fermenting in my heart."

"Tsk tsk, Zhou Yun is really beautiful. In my opinion, she is much more interesting than Shu Qi. I really envy Director Jiang!"

"Perfect film art, very good. Jiang Wen's works usually explore human nature in depth, and they are as profound as always."

"Using drama as a means to present it to the audience in the form of a movie, Jiang Wen is ahead again. "One Step Away" is simply another realm of art films. I really admire it!"

It's a pity that compared with the good reviews, there are more people who give this movie bad reviews.

"It's terrible. The storyline is just a mess of plots strung together. Shu Qi's dubbing is really disgusting."

"Does Jiang Wen think this movie can make money like "Let the Bullets Fly"? In fact, "Let the Bullets Fly" is not very good, but it is fresh and well-conceived. As for this movie, it is a complete spoof."

"No matter what artistic techniques or meanings are used, when a movie makes the audience leave, and not just one or two, then it cannot be said that the movie is successful. If you want to make money from the people, you have to be worthy of the people's money and withstand the people's saliva."

"The biggest feeling this movie gave me is that crosstalk and Shanghai style clean talk finally coexist harmoniously. Guo Degang and Zhou Libo A smile can make all grudges go away, plus elements such as drama, singing and dancing, it's just a big potpourri! "

"Let's not talk about whether the meaning of the film is understood, there are two points that I am very dissatisfied with: Why are there so many stage performances, so long, and so annoying?

Why is this kind of film shot in 3D? Is it to pretend to be high-end?

Do the producers and directors know that the audience's time is precious? Do they know how much expectation everyone has? Do they know how much strain it will be on the audience's eyes to install the plot and scenes of 2D movies in 3D?

The screen switches so quickly, and there are so many monologues. I am really drunk. I think Jiang Wen has only one "Let the Bullets Fly" worth mentioning in his life. "

...

"Tsk tsk."

The more he watched, the more he sighed.

Sure enough, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

For this "One Step Away", many viewers and fans watched it with the hope that it could surpass "Let the Bullets Fly".

But in the end? Jiang Wen actually had a big poop in front of everyone!

At this moment, the fans were blown away, and all their dissatisfaction turned into negative reviews, which were fiercely directed at Jiang Wen.

Looking at the situation, let alone breaking the 1 billion box office, it is unknown whether the current performance can be maintained.

"Why are you still planning to distribute overseas? Tsk tsk, Director Jiang, get ready to be beaten and stand at attention!"

Chen Fei shook his head and moved the mouse downwards, ready to see if there were any professional film critics who would make comments.

But at this moment, his attention was suddenly attracted by a piece of news that was not very long.

"Due to the influence of "Ghost Blowing Light: Yunnan Worm Valley" and "One Step Away", the daily new box office of "The Crossing (Part 1)" has dropped below 500,000, and many theaters have announced that they will remove it from the shelves..."

With an investment of nearly 500 million yuan and a total box office of 132 million after 13 days of release, "The Crossing (Part 1)" has come to an end.

...

The next morning, something unexpected happened to everyone!

The 65th Berlin International Film Festival officially announced the shortlist. Looking at it, "One Step Away" directed by Jiang Wen is among them and has been shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Many people don't understand why this movie surrounded by a lot of negative reviews can still get a place in the main competition unit?

On the other hand, those fans who support "One Step Away" seem to be encouraged and have strengthened their beliefs.

Even Jiang Wen stood up and faced with a lot of negative reviews, he made it clear: "It's actually the audience's problem that they can't understand my movie.

And I don't need everyone to understand it, as long as someone supports me, understands me, and knows me, that's enough."

As soon as these remarks came out, there was another uproar on the Internet.

Many people are complaining that Jiang Wen is too arrogant, but the fact is that he has always been like this.

He has done a lot of operations that don't care about the audience's opinions.
