Chapter 405: Love View
"Hong Huang: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" not only has a very high box office, but also has a very good reputation.
On Douban.com, tens of thousands of netizens flocked to give the film a high score of 8.7 soon after it was released.
It is indeed slightly different from Jiang Heng's masterpiece, but as a commercial blockbuster with special effects as its selling point, the evaluation of more than 8 points and nearly 9 points is not low.
As for the source of the low score, it is largely because the love story between Hou Yi and Chang'e is not sad enough, and Chang'e's personality is not three-dimensional enough.
Some netizens' reason is that Hou Yi and Chang'e can completely shoot a sad love story similar to "A Chinese Odyssey", but Director Jiang used Chang'e as a tool person, and from beginning to end, it was because of Chang'e's beauty that he had conflicts and fights with the Heavenly Court.
Finally, there is a "teammate sacrifices to the sky, with boundless magic power", shooting down nine golden crows.
I just want to ask Director Jiang, do you have a grudge against "love", why can't you portray it well and make a better love story?
Love is a story element that all human beings can understand, and special effects plus love really work!
The problem is that some people yearn for love, while others hate the love elements in movies and TV series.
After this post was posted, it immediately attracted many netizens to reply.
Some said that there are already enough "rubbish love" in domestic movies and TV series, and everything can be related to love. If you want to see love, go find other movies and TV series.
Supporters said: That's right, I hate the brainless plot of "love is more important than anything else" the most...
As a result, a group of netizens quarreled on Douban about Jiang Heng's view of love in the film.
In iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, in Jiang Heng's office, Da Tiantian was wearing a black T-shirt and denim shorts, showing her white thighs, curled up on the sofa and brushing her IPAD.
Jiang Heng was busy with other things behind the boss's desk, and occasionally glanced up at Da Tiantian.
"Hey, are you here to assist me in my work or to interfere with my work!" Jiang Heng couldn't help but say.
Da Tiantian looked up, with a bit of innocence and confusion in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"You took off your shoes. Have you ever seen an assistant so presumptuous in the big boss's office?"
Jing Tian's eyes curved into crescents, and he smiled sweetly, "Me!"
Jiang Heng smiled helplessly after hearing this!
Da Tiantian looked curious, "Hey, I saw a lot of netizens discussing your love view on Douban!"
"My love view?"
"Well, it should be the love view of the movie. They said that Chang'e is just a tool to stimulate Hou Yi's explosion!"
Jiang Heng was a little speechless. Today's netizens have such a thorough analysis!
Well, there are such characters in many movies, and their death stimulates the potential of the protagonist.
Such as Jiang Liuer in "The Return of the Great Sage", Tang Monk who took the initiative to die in "Lion Camel Ridge", and Chang'e who had no choice but to commit suicide in this movie.
Such characters naturally have their reasons for existence.
As for love, it's not like we're filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" or "White Snake: Origin". Jiang Heng thinks there are already a lot of love scenes in the film.
"Don't worry about what's said on the Internet!"
Da Tiantian put down her IPAD, leaned on the armrest of the sofa with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Just tell me, I'm curious!"
Seeing this, Jiang Heng was in no mood to work. He walked to the sofa and gently tapped Jing Tian's feet, "Get your stinky feet away!"
Da Tiantian said, "Oh!" and quickly retracted her feet. She said with a wronged expression: "It's not stinky!"
Jiang Heng didn't respond, but just said: "Recently, don't you feel bored?"
Da Tiantian pouted, "It's okay. Although I'm busy sometimes, I'm very happy to be with you every day!
Well, actually my view on love is that if I can't be with the person I like, I won't be happy even if I become the Jade Emperor!"
Jiang Heng smiled helplessly. This is the words of Fairy Zixia. Aren't you afraid of a bad omen?
Unexpectedly, Jing Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned over and said, "Brother, let's reenact "A Chinese Odyssey", okay?"
"Which part?"
Da Tiantian was stunned, "What part?"
"You didn't say reenactment, are we going to reenact the part where Zhizunbao and Bai Jingjing are on the cliff, or other parts?"
Jing Tian thought for a long time, remembered the plot of that part, rolled his eyes at Jiang Heng and said coquettishly, "Hate, I'm talking about business!"
"Ah, how could you have such an idea!"
Da Tiantian looked longing, "I just want to experience different love experiences with you Ah! You have such a good relationship with Stephen Chow, he should sell you the copyright, right? "
Jiang Heng smiled bitterly, "This is not a matter of copyright. "A Chinese Odyssey" has become a masterpiece. Aren't you afraid of being scolded?"
Da Tiantian shook her head, with an ignorant and fearless look on her face, "No! I had a dream a while ago. I didn't meet you in the dream. I played in many bad movies and was scolded by people on the Internet every day. Then I woke up crying.
After waking up, I thought about it, why can I still cry in dreams, oh, it turns out that there is no you in that dream, it doesn't matter whether netizens scold or not!" Da Tiantian said calmly.
Jiang Heng was a little moved by what he heard, and hugged her and patted her little head, "Silly girl!"
Da Tiantian said, "You always say I'm stupid, but in fact, I'm not stupid at all, and sometimes I'm very smart!"
Jiang Heng laughed when he heard it.
"It's just a love movie, I'll play it with you!"
"Zixia?"
"Well, let me take a look. Copyright is one thing, but the most important thing is that there has to be a good story. I can't bear to see you get scolded!"
Jing Tian was very happy to hear this, and said in a sweet voice: "Brother is so nice!"
It is said that Jiang Heng really thought about this for a while afterwards.
Should he remake "A Chinese Odyssey" or write another story?
If he wrote another story, he could describe the love between Zhu Bajie and the spider spirit.
…
During this period, the box office of "Hong Huang: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" has grown by leaps and bounds, and it has exceeded the 700 million mark in the first three days of Sunday.
Such a result would never have been imagined before.
As soon as the media reported it, it immediately caused heated discussions, and more people came to watch the movie due to word of mouth.
After all, it has a good reputation, excellent special effects, and many extremely tall witch giants in the film, which are very popular with children.
Looking at the witches and monsters on the big screen that are several meters, dozens of meters, or even dozens of meters tall, the children are very excited, and they are happier than watching big dinosaurs.
They are not satisfied with watching it once, and they want their parents to take them to watch it again.
Some can realize their wishes, while others get a "single" because of crying.
In addition to children, there are also many middle-aged and elderly people who go to the cinema.
For them, modern and romantic movies are really incomprehensible, but "Hou Yi" is understandable. After all, traditional mythological stories such as Pangu creating the sky, Nuwa repairing the sky, Kuafu chasing the sun, Houyi shooting the sun, Jingwei filling the sea, and Nezha making trouble in the sea are all stories they have heard since childhood.
Such a story plus special effects should not be boring.
In the summer of 2011, Jiang Heng's new film swept the schedule again, and several low-cost films that tried to fish in troubled waters were directly extinguished.
Some directors cried and complained that Jiang Heng was domineering and monopolistic, but no one paid attention to this!
