Chapter 755 Angry, so What?
At the premiere of "Ip Man", Shen Xudong made a rare appearance, and he and Feng Xiaogang had a press conference to complain about Wang Jiawei...
It’s really a complaint!
Some media asked about the conflict between "Ip Man" and Zedong Company...
"I wasn't angry at first. It was the same subject, but different interpretation methods! But what I was angry about was that Wang Jiawei came out and said, 'Donnie Yen is very good, but there is a long way to go compared to Tony Leung. This is obvious to everyone.'
Pulling over Donnie Yen: "What is there for everyone to see? Mr. Donnie Yen is an action star. Chinese-language films have reached the world through action. It is actors like Donnie Yen who rely on it. Is it because of Tony Leung Chiu-wai's acting skills? Which country does not have actors with superb acting skills?"
"I'm very dissatisfied with this statement. Everyone is making Chinese films. Of course Liang Chaowei is a good actor, but Donnie Yen is not bad either. Why do you say that Donnie Yen is not as good as Liang Chaowei?"
Well, Shen Xudong is the contradiction in hyping "Ip Man"...
"I have always disliked the way Wang Jiawei treats actors. Of course, I have always respected Wang Jiawei's movies. Movies are dreams. The only way to measure the quality of a movie is the artistic height of the movie itself. It is not the director's character, but I I will definitely not cooperate with him!”
"I have always felt that actors are not puppets. They have life and a life. It is impossible to come on call and criticize actors harshly after 24 hours..."
"Zuxian Wang in "Ashes of Time" carefully searched for a shot that was less than two seconds long, but after she stayed in the desert for so long, what she got was a shot like this."
"In "In the Mood for Love", looking at it now, Maggie Cheung in it is very beautiful, and the movie has been widely praised. However, because the filming period of the movie lasted for 15 months, Maggie Cheung could only stay on the set and could not go to Paris to meet her husband. This leads to a weakening of the relationship and divorce.”
"As a director, it can be said that he rarely allows investors to make money, but literary and artistic films gain fame for himself. Some people say that this is a contribution to art, but it involves the sacrifice of actors and investors, and more achievements are achieved. It's him. I think this is very selfish!"
Feng Xiaogang was much simpler and more direct: "What bothers me the most is Wang Jiawei. We are not familiar with each other and there is no conflict. I think it is the emperor's new clothes. When filming without a script, his style can only fool foreigners - and it cannot deceive people." Old beauty. If he is really capable, write a script for me to see! There are so many people in this society who like to flatter others and often criticize others."
Shen Xudong then added: "There is a kind of director in the film industry who is very annoying. These people always feel that they are film masters who have been appointed from heaven. They live to create legends. Therefore, they do not respect the efforts of others at all. They attract investment , everything was fine when they were making cakes for others, but when they got the money, they put on an air of "what can you do to me?" and wantonly wasted the investors' money, and the investors were forced to jump off the building. There are countless people, but when questioned, they put on a very arrogant look and said, I am responsible for art.
As a result, the art of film has almost deteriorated! "
…
After scolding each other, many print media reported on the conflict between Shen Xudong and Wang Jiawei...
By the way, I mentioned the premiere of "Ip Man" - after all, this matter broke out at the premiere of "Ip Man".
The most direct impact is that the movie "Ip Man" has become a phenomenon. Even though the publicity of "Mei Lanfang" is overwhelming, it cannot cover up the voice of "Ip Man"!
By the way, the promotion of "Mei Lanfang" is really... all-round and three-dimensional...
China Film Group stated at the premiere of "Mei Lanfang" that it would "gather the country's human, financial and material resources to promote distribution work."
It not only takes the "main road" of CCTV's rotating advertisements, but also does not let go of "new media" such as mobile media and street sign light boxes in major cities.
Moreover, although it is a "small to medium budget", "Mei Lanfang" has not missed any news since the preparation of "Mei Lanfang" and the promotional methods used by Chinese blockbusters in the past.
Such as "investing tens of millions of dollars in "Mei Lanfang", "taking Oscar as the goal", "expending huge sums of money to build large-scale scenes", "planning to use 100,000 extras", and "Li Ming worked hard to practice orchid finger", "Zhang Ziyi The spread of news such as "Apprenticeship to learn singing from a teacher"...
Useless…
Because, in terms of subject matter, "Mei Lanfang" is a simple biopic, and... not many people are really interested!
Looking back at "Ip Man", it has one of its biggest advantages - some time ago, the TV series "The Legend of Bruce Lee" just set off a ratings boom on CCTV.
Ip Man...that's Bruce Lee's master!
Coupled with the overseas sales and the good quality of the film itself, "Ip Man" took in 16 million at the box office on the first day after its release...
It was directly the single-day box office champion.
The box office on the second day still exceeded 17 million, and the cumulative box office in the first two days was 33 million. "Mei Lanfang" was released for four days, and the cumulative box office was 35 million...
In addition, the box office of "Perfect" in its second week was 28 million, successfully exceeding 100 million!
"Perfect" is the first chick-lit movie in China. For the first time, the number of female viewers is greater than that of male viewers...
Shen Xudong has succeeded - I originally wanted to use "Ip Man" and "If You Are the One" to beat "Mei Lanfang", but now "Perfect" + "Ip Man" is enough.
…
"Ip Man" is released, and its strong market performance and reputation determine that theaters are unlikely to deliberately suppress the film schedule!
Executive order?
Haha, Gao Fenfen’s elders are not vegetarians. “Wanted” has already been warned once!
The situation has become clear, China Film...especially Han Shanping is very angry!
But you really can’t beat them head-on, so what can you do?
Use the theater resources at hand to force...
——Chen Peisi once said: Our literary and artistic superiors all invest their own money, pay their own bills, and then monopolize publicity by themselves. It is a one-stop monopoly. You can’t even insert a needle...
Yes, this was indeed how it was played before, but after several years of development, the market has become more ‘fair’…
The road is blocked...
In fact, the main reason is that there are people behind Gao Fenfen, and China Film has no way to force...
Therefore, no matter how angry you are, you can only endure it and look forward to the stamina - after all, "Mei Lanfang" is an art film.
That's right, the crew of "Mei Lanfang" has already used "setting a record for the opening of a literary film" to save their respect!
Haha, a literary film?
Have you ever seen any literary film that used more than 1,400 copies when it was released?
stamina?
After entering the working day, "Ip Man" couldn't stop the promotion that hit the screen for two consecutive days!
The next week's box office was 65 million, with a total box office of 98 million...
It can definitely exceed 100 million...
By the way, in order to make room for "Ip Man", "If You Are the One" has been announced to be withdrawn for three days and will be released on the 20th...
Then, Chen Hong came out and said, "Mei Lanfang" is a modern film that contains oriental beauty. Its implicit and reserved Eastern emotional expression is very unique. It combines the grand epic with the delicate personal emotional world. As a Chinese director, Director Chen has repeatedly continued his cultural mission in his films. ’
‘It makes sense! Some movies have no artistic quality at all, and I think this is a disservice to domestic audiences...'
