Chapter 101 August Weiyang

‘The fire in July is flowing, the August is in the morning, and the September is giving clothes’, from the Book of Songs. Feng Feng. July.

The purpose of this sentence is to show off and to mix up the word count...

...

To be honest, "Tangshan Earthquake" is a blockbuster with "Chinese characteristics" and is not a "disaster type film" that many people imagine.

Although the Tangshan earthquake scene reproduced with the help of a foreign special effects team at the opening of the film can be said to be the highest reflection of the special effects level of Chinese films so far, the most important core of this film is not the display of disaster scenes and the praise of personal heroism.

This movie actually tells the story of how ordinary people who survived regained their lost family ties in the long time after the earthquake.

If it is necessary to classify the genre film, it should be considered a family ethics film.

As a big-produced film with the participation of the Tangshan Municipal Government, this adaptation idea is naturally the safest narrative strategy in the current market environment.

It is impossible to show too much disaster, otherwise it will not be able to pass the review!

Therefore, Director Feng focused his attention on a family. Unfortunately, the inherent limitations of director Feng Xiaogang cannot elevate it to national emotions or the collective memories of a generation. The family in the movie is almost isolated from the world, and there is not even a neighbor!

That is what the saying goes, "fake and big empty"

However, ordinary audiences who are truly willing to watch movies in the cinema are still very satisfied. They satisfy the audience's curiosity and emotional consumption demands. In layman's terms, they are to satisfy the audience's desire to enter the cinema to see the reappearance of a real disaster and shed tears of sympathy for it.

Coupled with Huayi's strong publicity capabilities, Feng Xiaogang's audience accrued over the years, the cooperation of theaters, and the appropriate schedule.

The box office results of "Tangshan Earthquake" exceeded 100 million in 3 days, 170 million in 4 days, 200 million in 5 days, 300 million in 7 days, and 400 million in 11 days, are understandable!

"I think this movie is likely to exceed 800 million!"

Feng Xiaogang was a little arrogant.

He should also show off because the Film Bureau shifted the domestic release time of its biggest rival, "Inception" to September 2, which means that throughout August, "Tangshan Earthquake" will dominate!

It's not right. "The Expendables" was released on August 20, but when it was released, "The Tangshan Earthquake" had been officially released for more than a month!

...

Domestic movies, the concept of summer season is quite embarrassing.

Because American blockbusters are released in summer, domestic movies cannot withstand the bombardment of so many blockbusters, so our blockbusters are usually released in the New Year holiday.

It should be 15 years. "Monster Hunt", "The Pancake Man" and "The Return of the Great Sage" were released one after another in July, and both of them and above the grid line created terrifying box office results. The summer season has become another major period for Chinese-language films.

It’s useless. Facts have proved that domestic movies are still the same. In the summer of 2016, the box office actually dropped for the first time. "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles", "The Jedi Escape", "Cold War 2"...

In 2017, if it weren't for a movie "Wolf Warrior 2", just relying on movies like "Three Lives and Three Worlds Washing Eyes", "The Legend of Wukong", and "The Founding of the Army", the summer season will be a joke!

However, the 2010 "Tangshan Earthquake" completely awakened many domestic production companies, and the movies are more than just New Year's Eve!

Unfortunately, not all production companies are called Huayi Brothers, and not all directors are called Feng Xiaogang.

Without the 'Feng Xiaogang Movie Protection Month', the pattern of Hollywood blockbusters will not change!

...

It is August 20th, and "Men Should Strengthen Self-Reliance" has been filmed for nearly two months.

The progress is going very smoothly.

Today is the filming of Huang Feihong's first fight against Nalan Yuanshu.

By the way, this actor Zhang Jing is quite good. He is agile and has good movements and can meet all aspects of martial arts guidance. The key is that he doesn’t have that much to say!

And it's very cheap!

The pay is only 800,000...

"Click!"

Xu Hui poked his head out from behind the monitor and held the horn in his hand: "Naran, your expression is a little cold... When you say the lines, don't look at Huang Feihong. You are an official and a civilian. He should look up to you!"

"Okay, director!"

Zhang Jing was like a stream of good deeds.

"Everyone in our yamen has been sent out to protect foreigners. I don't think it's safer here than outside. If I take in that group of students, if the White Lotus scholars take the opportunity to make trouble, it will be difficult for me to ensure the safety of those group of students."

"But, sir..."

"Yes, officials should protect the people, but in the current situation, hey! I am just a little martial arts, and it's hard to support myself! I'm so ashamed!"

The camera shows Wu Jing and Zhang Jing. The two have different expressions, one is disappointed and the other has a difficult face.

Speaking of which, the role of Nalan Yuanshu is actually quite tragic.

As a child of the Eight Banners, he was destined to serve this dying Qing Dynasty when he was born. As a soldier, Nalan Yuanshu was excellent and qualified. Just talking about martial arts, a set of cloth stick kung fu that showed his deep and solid internal strength, and could tie with Huang Feihong.

Nalan Yuanshu studied foreign languages ​​in the Tongwenguan in the capital and negotiated foreign affairs with foreign counselors in his jurisdiction. He fluent English, with strong words and righteous words: thisischina, notbritain.!

He has never abandoned foreigners, and his position is a hardliner, his arrogant, arrogant and rude towards foreigners, and his erosion and swallowing of China step by step. He also hates other officials who look like slaves when they meet foreigners, and feels timid and despised. With his good skills, he never gives these foreign counselors a good face!

He is patriotic, but unfortunately, the court is weak and incompetent, and he can no longer turn the situation around alone!

From a historical perspective, his appearance is doomed to be a tragedy!

Therefore, setting this opponent is perfect, only a strong opponent can set off the brightness and majesty of the protagonist!

Everyone is probably quite familiar with Zhang Jing's experience. He was born in the same year as Wu Jing and was also a martial arts champion. Unfortunately, he has different fates from his fan base. As soon as Wu Jing came up, he became the male lead. He could only work as a martial arts player in the Yuan family class and a martial arts substitute. It was only after about two thousand years that he moved from behind the scenes to the front stage.

At the beginning, I could only play some supporting roles, the young master's follower, etc.

When filming "Shuiyue Cave", I met my wife Cai Shaofen!

Zhang Jing's resources are too heartbreaking, and Cai Shaofen is not a big shot. After getting married, he continued to waste his time...

Moreover, when the media mentioned him, most people would say "Cai Shaofen's husband". Fortunately, the "Palace II" of King of Sunglasses made him famous in one fell swoop, and he won the Best Supporting Actor Award for the role of Ma San!

Well, the King of Sunglasses is still good, and he rarely fails in promoting people, except Dong Jie...

In 2010, Zhang Jing was not very popular, nor did he star in any decent movies. Xu Hui asked him to play Nalan Yuanshu, and Zhang Jing agreed without much thought.

"Okay, everyone rest first, and then take a photo!"

This shot ended. When it was time to have dinner, Xu Hui put down the speaker in his hand and prepared to eat something.

"Director Xu, Director Xue Xiaolu is here..."
Chapter completed!
