Chapter 710 Did the Prophecy Come True?
"I don't know why Wu Yusen filmed like this... I swear, I never knew the script of "Red Cliff" anywhere or through any channel...
I was writing the script for "Blockbuster" at the time, and the Easter egg part was actually written on the spot. You can interview Huang Jianxin, Director Chen, and Mr. Ge You. What we wanted at the time was to create the most impossible plot..."
"Anyone who has read the Three Kingdoms or even knows a little bit about the Battle of Chibi knows what Cao Cao's purpose was in going south. We just made up the story that Cao Cao launched the Battle of Chibi in order to get Xiao Qiao...
I really feel like only a fool would take pictures like this!
I never thought that director Wu Yusen would actually shoot like this! "
After the movie ended, Shen Xudong was stopped by the media and asked about his movie-watching experience.
Well, I actually asked him if he had read the script of "Red Cliff" in advance for the prophecy in "Blockbuster"...
Shen Xudong quickly denied it, and then said: "To be honest, I watched "Red Cliff"...I didn't realize it was a movie made by Wu Yusen at all. Instead, I thought it was a work by Wang Jing!"
"What do you think the problem is?"
"Director Wu Yusen is not good at it. He doesn't have that ability, you know, right? He can only make police and gangster movies and talk about rivers and lakes. "Wind Talker" was a mess. Many people analyzed that it was because the opportunity was not good. How could there be any chance? In fact, , it’s just that he’s not capable!
The more people boasted and the more people whitewashed it, the more they developed an epic complex. They dreamed of making an epic movie, and then they made "Red Cliff", an exquisite... innovation... I guess He hasn’t read the Three Kingdoms in detail at all! "
"Why do you say that?"
"You searched his interviews yourself, and kept hesitating when it came to the history of the Three Kingdoms. But when he mentioned Zhou Yu, he suddenly became energetic. He said that Zhou Yu had a perfect image. He was successful at a young age, had a beautiful wife, and had a broad mind. He was exactly like Yi Zhongtian a few years ago. Taste the sayings in the Three Kingdoms...
It was probably an urgent catch-up lesson while writing the script. If you ask someone who doesn't understand the Three Kingdoms to shoot the Three Kingdoms, it will naturally be difficult to shoot well. "
"Then what do you think, Xiao Qiao..."
"To be honest, it's not impossible to add a female character. It's a commercial movie. If the masculinity is too strong, it's not a bad thing to neutralize it with a vase. Who doesn't like to watch Lin Zhiling perform sex scenes?
But if you don’t want the female character to be a vase but to be upgraded to an important role, then you need to think about it. The end result of commercial elements taking over the spotlight is lowering the level of the work. Red Cliff is undoubtedly an excellent negative teaching material! "
"What you said...isn't it a bit too offending?"
"Offending people? Damn it, it cost 600 million, so many people worked hard for two or three years, and then they made such a work? Three Kingdoms... I should have known that we also wanted to make "Red Cliff"... But because Director Wu had already filmed it, so we gave up...
What a regret!
Can't I tell the truth? I wasted two and a half hours on horse racing... Say it yourself, is watching this kind of movie a waste of time? "
The reporter interviewing him nodded: "It's a bit bad... One more question, we noticed that you beat Du Wenze and Peng Haoxiang before?"
"Oh, they have bad mouths. They use Cantonese to insult mainland movies. Mainland filmmakers think that no one on the scene understands Cantonese... I will teach them a lesson for the mainland filmmakers!"
"Would that be..."
"It's just a lesson to two rubbish, how big a big deal can it be?"
…
That night, the front page of the Internet, except for Sohu Entertainment, was the premiere of "Red Cliff" (Part 1): The war depiction was recognized by the media!
The front-page announcements on the entertainment pages of Sina, NetEase, and Tengxun are all - "Blockbuster" reflects reality, Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff": Cao Cao's anger turns into a beauty.
Mainly because it looks too similar to riding a horse...
What is this called?
Are bad movies reflected in reality?
Oh, Sohu is the exclusive online partner of "Red Cliff". The person responsible for the online promotion of the movie must have something good to say...
Other portals don’t care about you...
As for Tianya Forum, Tieba, and Maopu Forum, they have been captured - "Blockbuster" has come into reality...
Sina even bothered to call Huang Jianxin and asked him what he thought about "Cao Cao becomes a beauty in anger" in the main plot of "Red Cliff". Huang Jianxin was confused. After confirming it several times, he said, "Maybe Wu Is the director thinking of making this change so that foreign audiences can understand it easily? ’
Respect...
It’s useless. Tianmei’s distribution capabilities may not be the strongest, but when it comes to online promotion, sorry, there is no rival!
Caught the "Blockbuster" prediction coming true" and spread the manuscript vigorously...
Made, they don’t allow rebates and require 60 points for film arrangement.
And it’s administrative pressure.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's okay to just issue a press release and tell the truth, right?
Haha, be grateful for the times. In a few years, if you try, I will directly label you as a malicious slanderer and ban your official account!
Back to the subject, Shen Xudong’s statement was refined by the ‘movie box office’.
Just that sentence, "Red Cliff", a bunch of exquisite... innovations... I guess he didn't read the Three Kingdoms very carefully at all! ’
Many netizens actually watched the interview with director Wu Yusen, and then... he seemed to really not understand the Three Kingdoms.
He said, "I want to film the unity and wisdom of men through "Red Cliff"..."
The problem is that the alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan is not based on common values. They are just forced by the situation to use each other for their respective interests. It is as short-lived as the sun and rain, otherwise they would not have fought each other later...
In addition, some people criticized Luo Guanzhong and said that Zhou Yu was awesome, which was indeed exactly the same as what Yi Zhongtian said...
Summary: "If you haven't read "Three Kingdoms", at least you don't understand the Three Kingdoms!"
As for beating Du Wenze and Peng Haoxiang...well, no one paid much attention!
Mainly there was no media coverage.
Just like Yu Dong said: "When "No Name" was released, the midnight show after 22 o'clock sold very well, and it eventually sold 900 million yuan at the box office! ’
It's like hammering your own box office and injecting water into it...
Look, is there any media coverage?
As for the paper media reports, we have to wait until tomorrow morning. It doesn’t matter. After the movie “Red Cliff” was released, especially after “Blockbuster” hit the screen...
It’s already destined to leave a mark in film history…
Shen Xudong actually thought about whether Wu Yusen would change the plot because of this.
Great, he hasn't watched "Blockbuster" at all!
Because some media asked Wu Yusen: "There was a satirical comedy "Blockbuster" before, and there was a scene in it..."
The reporter described the plot of "Blockbuster" vividly: Let's change the plot and change the reason why Cao Cao sent troops to Soochow to wanting to get Xiao Qiao... The audience will definitely find it novel, and we will find a beautiful actress to play Xiao Qiao...
Wu Yusen kept smiling at first and even asked, ‘Whose movie is this? ’
"Produced by Xudong, specifically to satirize so-called epic blockbusters..."
"...sarcasm? I haven't seen this movie..."
His face instantly turned dark, and he quickly asked someone to find out what movie "Blockbuster" was.
Well, you won’t know if you don’t check it, but you will be shocked when you check it. “Blockbuster” was released at the end of August last year, with a box office of 140 million in the mainland and 148 million in Asia... and was nominated for the Golden Horse Award.
