In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 427 The Little Black Feet Are Exposed!

Hearing Shen Xudong's remarks, Chen Xi rolled his eyes: "Then is there any point in doing this?"

“…Successful people are like this!”

"Haha... I think you don't dare to offend anyone!"

Shen Xudong argued: "It's not that I don't dare, it's that there's no need... We're all in the same circle and it's so embarrassing. What's the point?"

"...Then you should keep your mouth shut. I think Producer Chen will respond to you!"

"I said I didn't understand. What's there to say in response?"

"Don't you understand?"

Shen Xudong chuckled and didn't answer. The two of them arrived at Gao Fenfen's office, knocked on the door, and went in.

When Gao Fenfen saw the two of them, he immediately said: "...You are here just in time. "A World Without Thieves" said it will be released in seven days..."

"...Already notified?"

"You know?"

Chen Xi looked at Shen Xudong, who said, "I talked to Huang Zhonglei on the phone!"

"...Now the plan is completely disrupted..."

"It's not that bad..."

"Why not? The publicity has been completely disrupted!"

Gao Fenfen spread her fingers: "Gong Li is filming a movie in the United States, how do you want her to come back now? Andy Lau is also filming "Ink Attack"..."

""Mo Gong" is easy to talk about...it's also Huayi's drama!"

"'Mo Gong' is easy to say, but what about 'Yun Shui Yao'? Chen Hao still has two days to play, should she come back immediately?"

Chen Xi also interjected: "The posters arranged by the theaters and the building advertisements we put out all say December 30th. Let's celebrate the New Year with you... Now that you have temporarily filed, what will happen to these posters? Will they be withdrawn?"

"...The film bureau has already issued an order..."

"Whatever comes up comes out!"

Gao Fenfen rolled his eyes, then dialed Chen Hao's manager's phone number to confirm the itinerary...and then dialed Gong Li's phone number...

Chen Xi turned to Shen Xudong and said, "...let's go."

"Where to go?"

"You are not allowed to participate in the promotion of "A World Without Thieves"..."

"I'm just one of the screenwriters. This time, I won't go on a road show, right?"

"...What do you think?"

Okay...the two leading actors are both tough enough to come here. The early publicity probably depends on Shen Xudong, Feng Xiaogang, Ge You...

But there is no way!

That night, the news that "A World Without Thieves" was scheduled to be released spread all over the Internet...

As expected. Most netizens are quite happy - Feng Xiaogang's movies at this stage focus on being down-to-earth and have a good rapport with the audience!

Moreover, judging from the trailer of "A World Without Thieves", it is a very normal movie.

The audience was frightened by the blockbuster!

The hurtfulness of "The Promise" really has a profound impact...

Anyway, after "The Promise", no other works that dare to flaunt magical themes have been released...

No, I'm still very stubborn, like "Asura" or something...

Shen Xudong is very confident in "A World Without Thieves" including Feng Xiaogang, and breaking 100 million is inevitable!

How many billions can the key be broken...

Can you add a new record?

This depends on promotion and theater schedule...

Competitors…

Shen Xudong really didn’t take it seriously!

"The Great Sage of Love"...

Liu Zhenwei is the representative who treats the audience as fools. Starting from "The Great Sage", almost all of his movies are randomly pieced together by a group of actors, and they are crazy about making money in the name of "Westward Journey".

You can't see any respect for the movie or the audience in his movies. They all have one purpose - money.

After "Journey to the West" became popular, Liu Zhenwei had to write a new Journey to the West himself!

Anyway, in the new century, there is no need to look at any film by Liu Zhenwei that has anything to do with the theme of Journey to the West. It is just rubbish!

The Emperor strongly promoted his godson's big-budget movie, but it turned out that Xie Tingfeng was unable to support it - after that, the Emperor would not dare to give him a major role in any major production.

The TV series that has been filmed for a year has improved the national favorability...

By the way, when I was checking the information, I actually saw that someone was cleaning up the work for "The Great Sage". Oh my god, the plot of this movie is terrible, and the only advantage is the soundtrack - Hisaishi Joe's soundtrack... Some people actually said it was underestimated?

Okay, here’s a common trope in the film review section: Find a movie from more than ten years ago that had very mediocre box office and reputation back then, and then say that xxx is underestimated. It would have a box office of at least 2 to 3 billion now, and scorn “Wolf Warrior 2” 》…

Sometimes I really wonder if "Shanghai Fortress" will be released in a few years?

Bringing it back, there are also "If Love" and "Ride Alone for Thousands of Miles". These two films are unfriendly to the audience...

In addition... Shen Xudong's sentence "I can't understand it, but I was shocked" has become a hot word on the Internet - it was rated as the best sentence in "The Promise" by Tianya netizens!

"A World Without Thieves" is scheduled to be released, and the one that has the biggest impact is actually "The Promise"!

Previously, "The Promise" had always occupied about 80% of the film schedule, and the relevant theaters of China Film and Television strongly supported it...

Enjoy the exclusive treatment of all major institutions.

Chen Hong really doesn't know how to do publicity, and actually said at the press conference, "My son is only six years old. He watched it 9 times in a row and said it was good!" ’

Sister, "The Promise", can I let my children watch it?

Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about that passionate scene...

Does it fit?

Can children watch it?

In addition, the Hong Kong box office of "The Promise" was lukewarm - 2 million in 4 days. Chen Hong actually said, "No matter how big a mainland movie is, it is difficult to achieve brilliant results in Hong Kong!" ’

So why did "Hero" earn 26.6 million, ranking second in the year?

Shen Xudong's "Mountain Fox Wife" broke the upper limit of the horror film genre with HK$33 million?

Chen Hong is very sensitive during this period. Any negative reviews about "The Promise" make her furious. She publicly said, "The Promise" is a world-class movie, no matter in terms of entertainment, art, story, or cast. , have already entered the ranks of global blockbusters! ’

Faced with negative reviews, Director Chen angrily said, "It will take five years for you to understand the meaning of "The Promise"!"

Therefore, Shen Xudong's evaluation was based on the sentence "I can't understand, but I was shocked". After being played badly, a reporter asked Chen Hong for his opinion. Producer Chen replied, "If you don't understand, just read it a few more times." ! ’

Then, Shen Xudong’s blog "I Watch Promise" was released:

"Why did I review "The Promise"... I really can't hold it in anymore!

When I watched "Farewell My Concubine", I was so amazed by Director Chen that I thought he would go down in history with this film.

Later I watched "One Sword, Allure the City" (also known as "Big Sword King Five" or "The Greatest Sword in China") and was amazed at the screenwriter's lines and plots. Only a great talent could not write...

So, when I learned that the director and this screenwriter had teamed up to create a huge investment masterpiece called "The Promise", it was extremely high-definition and had a great cast. Deep down in my heart, I had already reserved my seat for this masterpiece. I couldn't wait to buy the tickets. Viewing…

Let me talk about the conclusion first: there are two kinds of bad movies in this world, one is as bad as a piece of shit, and the other is a piece of shit that looks delicious. "The Promise" obviously belongs to the latter!

There are many delicious parts. For example, the graphics, art, special effects, and the acting skills of the actors are all remarkable. Let's put it this way, if you know how to edit, you can cut a video of no longer than 30 seconds from "The Promise" and put it out alone. Look, you will find that almost every clip looks quite attractive!

The reason is very simple, Director Chen’s film aesthetic ability is online!

For example, "The Promise" almost all uses highly saturated colors. In fact, highly saturated colors are difficult to use because they are very aggressive, but Director Chen used them well. He used high saturation while diluting the contrast between warm and cold light and dark. This kind of aggression will not make people feel uncomfortable, but instead there will be an outpouring of passion!

The photography composition of "The Promise" is also great, and the images are presented cleanly and neatly, especially the images with low camera positions and high elevation angles. Every frame is beautiful!

Finished boasting...

Why is it a bad movie?

Because the plot is so bad and the logic is confusing;

In addition, the scene management is also... very bad. Every action scene in "The Promise" looks messy and panic...

"The Promise" wants to express too much: love, hate, fate, time, longing, feelings of family and country... Coupled with the director's exploration of avant-gardism, this movie ultimately became an incomprehensible and strange movie...

Complex movies can be good, but good movies don’t need to be complicated. Just tell a story well and that’s it!

To quote a line from "Farewell My Concubine": "In this world, I have always felt that some people live as human beings, and some people live as human dramas." To live as a human being, a person must perfect himself. ’ If life becomes a play, then the play should ‘smile for everlasting spring, and cry for everlasting sorrow. ’

The human world just wiped away the rouge's face.

If we say, "Farewell My Concubine" is alive.

That "The Promise" is just a plastic mannequin, put on with rouge and lipstick, and placed in a display window. No matter how glamorous it is during the day, it will look very obvious at night. ’

I went back to my hometown today to pay homage...

Just two updates.

We have Wuqi here, I wonder if you have any...
