Chapter 181 Literary films that I don't understand

Because of the previous downturn in the film industry, the media did not care about domestic movies at all. Like before, Zhang Duo or Wang Cheng's novels can still make headlines in some newspaper entertainment sections, while domestic movies often can't even make ordinary news.

Although this situation has changed since the release of Choice last year. The inertia made them ignore the popularity of East and West, so that after the box office of East and West exceeded 200 million, large-scale reports were overwhelming and surging.

Entertainment Weekly, a subsidiary of East China Daily, published Zhang Duo, a 200 million director. According to the report, with the simple scene of Dongchengxi, the total investment should be within 15 million. Now the box office has reached 200 million, and Wanbang Film and Television has to make at least 80 million net profits from it. The film has only taken more than a month from shooting to release, but it has made more than five times the profit, which is simply grabbing money. Zhang Duo can get the title of the most profitable director in China, at least 200 million directors, which is well-reed.

The Beijing Evening News published an article by Wei Shaoyi, a famous domestic film critic, and strongly criticized Dong Cheng Xi, believing that the whole film is a vulgar spoof, has no artistry, and has no educational significance, which is simply tarnishing the great art of the film.

Compared with the commercial film model of Hong Kong and Taiwan, it is the world of literary films in the mainland. Often, no one understands it and wins the prize. Obviously, it is full of commercial elements, and the purpose is to make money. Because it can't be sold, it is claimed to be engaged in literature and art.

In fact, the original purpose of shooting "East Evil West Poison" was a commercial martial arts blockbuster. Unfortunately, although Director Wang regarded himself as a commercial film director, he went further and further on the road of literary films, which was also regarded as the lost mulberry elm in the east corner.

In the conference room of Wanbang Film and Television Company, three people held a meeting. Song Siwei sat in the main seat, smiled, looked at the information in his hand, and couldn't close his mouth happily. Artou, I can't believe that our "East and West" can reach 200 million!"

Jin Yutang is also happy. He did not go to the desert with the crew of "East Evil and West Poison", but was responsible for communicating with the cinema. Naturally, he knew that the popularity of "East and West" was difficult to get. Many actors have found him, hoping to get a role in Wanbang's future films.

"Aduo, do you think we are preparing some films? At this rate, it won't be a problem for us to shoot seven or eight films in a year? Jin Yutang said.

The slightly haggard Zhang Duo smiled bitterly, "Seven or eight? I said, cousin Yu, are you going to tire me to death? I really can't stand it. I plan to take a break for more than half a year after shooting "The Color of Heroes" and "Shanghai Beach". I'm not going to participate in the film and television dramas during this period!"

"What, do you want to rest? What about the company's shooting in the future? Jin Yutang said unexpectedly. In his opinion, now is the time for Wanbang Film and Television to launch a grand plan and sail. If Zhang Duo chooses, the development of the company will have a big problem.

Song Siwei also said solemnly, "A Duo, are you too tired recently?"

Zhang Duo said tiredly, "Yes, now I feel like a machine that keeps running. Although I have made a lot of money, I don't even spend money."

Song Siwei nodded and said, "Then do as you say!" After these two film and television dramas are finished, I will give you a vacation and have a good rest!"

"Yes, the post-production of East Evil West Poison can be completed in about a week. After that, I won't care about it. You can arrange the release. I plan to take a month off first."

"Okay, do as you say!" Song Siwei said with a wry smile.

Zhang Duo stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to rest now and come to the company tomorrow!" After saying that, he pushed the door and left the conference room.

Looking at Zhang Duo who disappeared at the door, Jin Yutang said anxiously, "Lao Song, Zhang Duo put down his choice. What should we do in the future?"

Song Siwei smiled with a self-deprecating expression and said, "Within Zhang Butcher, can you still eat hairy pigs?" Naturally, it's time to invite an art director and a great director.

"But how can those people compare with Zhang Duo?"

"Naturally, there is no comparison, but Zhang Duo is not only a shareholder of our Wanbang. He also has newspapers, book companies and websites under his name, and the most important thing is his novels. This is the source of everything. As long as he writes the novel well, he may not have to shoot it to become popular. Wang Cheng's "Dragon in the World" is not made by him. Isn't it 18 points of ratings?

Jin Yutang woke up and said, "That's the same. In fact, there are not many people like Zhang Duo who write, direct and act by themselves."

"I think he is a perfectionist. He wants to do everything best and make it a classic. Fortunately, he is a genius. If it were an ordinary person, there would be no other result except thankless effort!" Song Siwei commented.

Jin Yutang sighed and said, "But he is indeed a genius. People like him are only seen in his life!"

"But geniuses can also be tired. Sima Yi said Zhuge Liang, how can it take long to eat less and have complicated things? It's okay to let him take a break. If he is really tired, it will be the loss of all our countries!"

After the post-production of "East Evil West Poison" was completed, Zhang Duo directly drove back to Xingshan to go to school, and told Song Siwei and Jin Yutang that if it was not a major event that affected the survival of the company, he would not look for him. He planned to take a month's class and live a stable life for a few days.

In this way, Zhang Duo only has code words left except for class every day. His current maximum hand speed is about 120 crosses per minute, which can reach an average of 80. In this way, the update of 10,000 words a day can be completed in more than three hours, which is relatively easy.

And Song Siwei, Jin Yutang, Gu Zongling, Chen Feiyang, Gao Zhonghua, Shi Tianyou and others looked at the sample of East and West Poison and looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

"Lao Song, are you sure this film will be released?" Jin Yutang asked in a doubtful tone.

Song Siwei rubbed his painful temple and said with a headache expression, "I want to ask everyone if they understand? Lao Chen, what do you think?

When Chen Feiyang saw that the boss named his name, he was not easy to answer, and he couldn't help but answer, "I probably understand. To be honest, the artistry of this film is very high, but it is too interesting and makes people drowsy. I'm afraid that the audience doesn't have that artistic appreciation!"

"Lao Song, Zhang Duo didn't guess that there would be such a situation and deliberately ran away, did he?" Jin Yutang asked.

Song Siwei muttered in his heart that he probably won't. The film has been filmed. If it is not released, it is a loss, but this is too literary and artistic! Don't even have a 20 million box office at that time! That's a shame!

Although Song Siwei and Jin Yutang and others are not optimistic about the box office of East Evil West Poison, since they have all been filmed, there is no reason to suppress the warehouse. After Jin Yutang took the sample film to the General Administration for review, the film was officially released on April 6.

As the second film of Wanbang Film and Television and the billion-dollar director, the second film adapted from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has received unprecedented attention.

On April 6, more than 100 domestic media came to Bincheng to attend the premiere. After the opening subtitles, it was a fierce fight between Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi. The picture was beautiful, poetic and had a visual impact, which surprised the audience and reporters.

However, what surprised them more was in the back, because from the beginning, they thought it would be a very cool martial arts blockbuster, but Ouyang Feng later acted as a killer intermediary, and the film was full of his monologue and dialogue.

In the movie, Zhang Duo plays Ouyang Feng, who is stained with a beard and wears a gray robe as a killer intermediary to solve problems for others in the desert.

"Many years later, I have a nickname called Western Poison. Anyone can become vicious. As long as you have tried anything, I don't mind what others think of me. I just don't want others to be happier than me."

"I thought there was a kind of person in the world who would not be jealous, because he was too proud. When I debuted, I knew a person, because he liked to haunt the east, so many years later, he had a nickname called Dong Xie."

Ouyangfeng ( monologue): "This year, Yuhuang is too old. There are droughts everywhere. Where there is drought, there must be trouble. If there is trouble, I will have business. My name is Ouyang Feng. I am from the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions. My profession is to help people solve problems.

Ouyang Feng (to talk to himself): "You are also in your early 40s. For more than 40 years, there are always some things that you don't want to mention again, or some people you don't want to see again. Some people have been sorry for you. Maybe you have thought about killing them, but you dare not. Ha, or you think it's not worth it, but it's actually easy to kill people. I have a friend who is very good at martial arts, but life has been a little difficult recently. As long as you give him a little silver, he can definitely help you kill that person. Just think about it. In fact, it's not easy to kill one, but many people will take this risk for the sake of life.

......

If the audience can bear the beginning, but when the film reaches one-third, someone finally can't stand it.

"Damn, I spent money to buy tickets to see the war between East and West, Southern Emperor and North Beggar War. What the hell is this!" An audience couldn't help complaining. With the deduction of time and the broadcast of movies, more and more people have this idea. But there are also some people who burst into tears, because the lines here are too classic.

Blind swordsman: Do you know the difference between drinking and drinking water? The warmer the wine, the colder the water will be.

Murong Yan: If I can't help asking one day, you must lie to me. Even if you are so unwilling, don't tell me that your favorite person is not me. Whoo-hoo......

Huang Yaoshi ( monologue): If the relationship can be divided, I don't know if she won, but I know very well that I lost from the beginning.

Sister-in-law: In the past, I thought that sentence was very important, because I think that some words come out for a lifetime. Now think about it, there is no difference whether you say it or not, and some things will change. I always thought I had won. It was not until one day when I looked in the mirror that I knew that I had lost. At the best time, my favorite person was not by my side. If only I could start over!

Ouyang Feng (soliloe): The more you want to know whether you forget, the more you remember it. I once heard people say that when you can't have it anymore, the only thing you can do is to make yourself not forget.

When the film ended, Wen Ruyu, who was sitting in the corner, cried in an instant, because she felt that she understood the film, but she was even more sad and heartbroken.

And more audiences scolded, thinking that this was a mysterious pretentious film. The whole film has no storyline at all. The actors sleepwalk together, the director is completely out of control, and the production is extremely rough. I don't understand what they are talking about!
