Chapter 784 "Journey to the West" Series
In fact, it is normal for insiders to look down on outsiders.
Especially in the film industry, there is a threshold for this stuff!
Can you make movies if you have money?
Ma Yun thought so too, and she once wanted to subvert traditional film production. After Ahri entered the film and television industry, she did everything in the past few years.
There is quite an attitude of ‘I come, I see, I conquer’.
It has become a thing of the past for screenwriters to decide what stories to write. We now decide what to film based on IP and popularity. Then find a group of screenwriters or non-screenwriters, professional or non-professional people to write together, and whoever writes the best will use it. The professional screenwriter only plays a text conversion function at the end. ’
According to the Internet saying, ‘through big data analysis, find a good track, that is, a good story. Then around this track, we incubate several teams, conduct internal horse racing, and allocate resources to the group with good data, and finally get the results. ’
After not producing a film for three years, he said, "Ali Pictures will rely on the entire industry chain platform and steady and solid content to present a development profile that is different from traditional film and television production companies." ’
"The Ferryman", "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", and "Blood of the Machine", after three bloody works, they have kept a low profile. They no longer boast of being a reformer. At most, they can use their votes to participate in voting...
Even Ma Yun is like this, let alone Yangzi!
Yes, competition within the circle is a bit like a card game, the point is that you have a chance to get on the table!
The first movie you want to serve?
Sorry, times have changed, and I am not Zhang Weiping, so I don’t have Zhang Yimou’s card in my hand.
Shen Xudong directly posted a long Weibo: The trolls still have one-star reviews that cannot ruin Chinese movies!
“In the open public opinion field, there is indeed disorder in the evaluation of movies.
On the rating platform, there are both positive and negative reviews; in self-media, there are also malicious negative reviews to gain attention, and even "personal attacks".
With an open market and open public opinion, there will inevitably be pressure caused by various unexpected situations.
So, if the bath water is dirty, the child in the basin must also be thrown away?
Can a film really be ruined by one star? Will the film ecology really be affected by "bad reviews"? But that's not necessarily the case. "
"Last year's "Let the Bullets Fly" relied on market and word-of-mouth to complete a counterattack and finally dominated the Lunar New Year show;
This year's "Insect Valley of Yunnan" was not expected by many people before its release, but it ended up taking in 800 million at the box office.
Looking at it from another perspective, a movie that relies more or less on a "star cast", "50-cent special effects", and "hype scandals" to gain attention, even if it buys 10,000 "five-star reviews", will eventually become a laughing stock.
Rather than complaining about others, it is better to reflect on your own attitude or level. In addition, there is an iron rule for those who want to enter the film industry. The audience is always right. Never complain about the audience...even the people who give you bad reviews! "
"In addition, I want to say that the success or failure of a movie, even a commercial movie, is not the box office data. "Westward Journey" suffered a heavy loss at the box office that year, but ten years later it became Zhou Xingchi's best work. "Warrior Hero" was not a success at the box office. Now it is the best action film in film history selected by major professional film magazines, and it is also a treasure of the movie channel..."
"In the final analysis, it may be a much more important issue to truly produce works that can stand up, be spread widely, and be retained."
“Let’s encourage you together.” x-on:Yangzi…
…
After posting on Weibo, Shen Xudong didn't even read the reply - he was busy fishing...
He's not alone, there's Xu Ke...
The post-production of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has basically been completed, and it is confirmed to be released during the Lunar New Year. The specific time must be staggered to "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"...
They are all big productions, so there is no need to fight to the death.
The original time and space was that two blockbusters were released on the same day, which resulted in a lose-lose situation for both parties...
"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" basically continues the original story frame: the knight Zhao Huaian stabs the governor of the East Factory, and the governor of the West Factory, Yu Huatian, escapes in pursuit of Zhao and lets the traitor palace maid Su Huirong escape, and Su Huirong arrives with the heroine Ling Yanqiu. At Longmen of Jiayuguan, they fought fiercely with the Tatar caravan, the female thief Gu Shaotang, and the Xichang spies at Longmen. Later, Zhao Huaian arrived and everyone took advantage of the tornado to find the Castle of Heaven. After a battle for gold and a contest between good and evil, Zhao Huaian killed When the rain turns into fields, all sins disappear...
The framework is a given!
Shen Xudong was very impressed by "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and commented: "I wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink it with me, but in the end it was different. It's like a young man's trip."
In this movie, the scenes of Jianghu are beautiful, but whether it is Tsui Hark or Zhao Huai'an, including myself in front of the TV, I always feel like a middle-aged person, after all, there is a gap between white clothes and snow, riding in the rivers and lakes. Qiu's chivalrous spirit.
Also...Li Lianlian is really old!
Visible aging...
Shen Xudong made some changes to "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", mainly including many idiotic lines and mentally retarded paragraphs...
The iron cable crossing the river, the lonely smoke in the desert, and the water hitting the middle current are all the elements that should be there, but why does Hu Weili's music not have any feeling at all?
Jianghu doesn't care how many sects and disputes you show. It's about whether you can make people imagine something beyond the picture given by the camera.
The Xichang elements brought about the mediocrity of the court and the people’s livelihood;
The elements of treasure hunting bring about dangers and misfortunes in the world;
The love between children brought about by the element of Xiao Di is speechless and choked...
You have to show it...
As for actors, Shen Xudong has always wanted to replace Li Lianjie, but it didn't work!
"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is a scene that Xu Ke did to experiment with 3D martial arts. For the three-dimensional effect, the editing rhythm must be slowed down. Then, the action rhythm basically relies on the actions of the actors, and the requirements for action actors are relatively high...
Only Li Lianlian can do it.
Therefore, several actors in the film wore masks or veils, presumably to solve the problem of stunt doubles in action.
In addition...Xu Ke also has the intention of teaming up with Li Lianlian for another fight in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"...
The cost of 220 million...
Fortunately, Li Lianjie still has some overseas recognition, Xu Ke + Li Lianjie, the combination is also very powerful, plus 3D martial arts...
So, copyright sales are doing okay, close to 12 million US dollars...
Southeast Asia is handed over to Golden Harvest for distribution. Theoretically speaking, as long as the mainland box office exceeds 300 million, it will be enough to recover the cost.
Therefore, Shen Xudong doesn’t have much pressure...
But Xu Ke is under a lot of pressure...
But he came mainly to intercede on behalf of Cheng Xiaodong - "The Legend of White Snake" was directed by Cheng Xiaodong.
Shen Xudong has no objection to Cheng Xiaodong - it can be seen that he has tried his best, but he is not strong enough!
He came to Xu Ke for another reason: "Director Xu, I heard that you are interested in "Journey to the West"? Have you always wanted to direct it?"
Xu Ke immediately forgot about Cheng Xiaodong: "Yes...I have been doing research..."
