Chapter 185: Box Office Comparison on the First Day
The movie is 1 hour and 59 minutes long, which is the part of the boat drama that many people are looking forward to (no thanks, my name is Lei Feng!)
Objectively speaking, this scene is very abrupt. If it is associated with the plot, it feels like it is just a bed scene for the bed scene.
It would be more perfect if John and Yumo were only moved but not in bed.
Even veteran drivers like Paohui feel strange when they see their bed scenes. They always feel that the whole bunch of preparations in front of them, and all the beauty is in cliché...
I didn't appreciate the stimulating feeling of Jugen at all!
This bed scene suddenly made the priest's noble sentiment disappear...
Even when Lu Chuan was filming "Nanjing! Nanjing!", he deleted the emotional scene between Dameiyuan and Liu Huohua in the script.
Anyone with a head can figure it out that such a heavy subject can’t even get involved in love, let alone pornography!
No wonder Zhang Yimou was unhappy, because this drama itself was Zhang Weipin’s idea!
It was estimated that it was an investment of 600 million, which made Zhang Yimou feel a little guilty, so he followed Zhang Weipin's advice. After all, the investment in this movie was actually 200 million!
If the market reacts badly after the filming is based on your own ideas, wouldn’t it be a shame to investors?
The bed scene between Christian Bale and Ni Ni in "The Flowers of War" is not available in the script. Bale also said in an interview that he could not accept the bed scene, but Zhang Weipin insisted on filming. He said that the two of them only filmed a kiss scene at the critical moment of life and death. This disappointed the audience too much, right? Not powerful!
Give your sister a great help!
Want to watch a bed show, but why don’t you search for a small movie?
Moreover, the 15 trailers released by the film company actually exposed the boat scene!
A typical example of abandoning the foundation and seeking the final result. No wonder Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weipin broke up completely after filming "The Flowers of War" and guessed that he realized that Zhang Weipin was completely a person of two ways!
One is a businessman, the other is a person who has expectations for art and Chinese films!
When the show ended, many viewers also discussed it, and the focus of the discussion was on the bed scene...
“…This movie is pretty good!”
"But why do you have to go to bed? Can't you just kiss me?"
"I don't know, I'm not a director!"
"In the end, the prostitute didn't want to get in the car, so why did she have to get in?"
"...How did I know... Maybe it's to make up for it!"
“What to remedy?”
"After all, it's a bit abrupt that the prostitutes suddenly look at death, so adding a shot that doesn't want to die makes everything look real?"
"...It's too late. I'm just saying that she's not a student now?"
...
Xu Hui was originally going to leave the stage halfway through seeing it, but Miss Wan insisted on seeing the ending!
So before the subtitles appeared, the two quietly left the scene.
After getting on the business car, Xu Hui unarmed himself and leaned on the sofa in the back row. Although he was holding back ten thousand whys, he still held back and didn't want to talk.
"how are you feeling?"
Miss Wan seemed to have just walked out of the movie and sniffed, and seemed very moved.
“…just that!”
Xu Hui was very calm and did not empathize at all.
In his opinion, "The Flowers of War" is more like a fictional story, a commercial film that tries to make money from the national complex!
"Just that? Such a good story, my eyes were swollen from crying!"
Miss Wan was very dissatisfied with Xu Hui's answer, pointed at her eyes, and signaled Paohui to take a serious look.
"…It's so charming. If it weren't for my recent incident, would you think I would let you go?"
Paohui approached Miss Wan's cheek, stretched out his mouth and tapped her lips slightly, and then threatened fiercely.
"roll!"
Miss Wan was obviously in a bad mood.
The girl just received the impact of a movie about national pain!
Paohui ignored her. After a while, Miss Wan pushed Paohui who was sitting next to her and asked again: "Xu Hui, why are those prostitutes so brave?"
"…I have to ask Yan Geling this, that's how the screenwriter wrote it."
Xu Hui didn't raise his head, and responded casually, saying that he was reading Douban's comments.
Driven by a circle of naval forces, the score of "The Flowers of War" is currently only 7.1 points, but it is already the highest score of Director Zhang's movies in recent years!
It's nothing else, the first few movies are really not optimistic, especially "Three Guns Surprise" has created the lowest point in Zhang Yimou's movies. Well, it doesn't matter. There is a bad movie called "The Great Wall" waiting for Director Zhang's visit...
The reputation is good, but the reviews are not optimistic. The top three likes are all a bunch of bad reviews - after all, there are nearly 3,000 navy troops!
‘A bitch is affectionate, he is incompetent and uses the pain of the nation to make such a bad movie!’
'Director Zhang still relies on women's bed stories to boost the box office as always, Lian Po is old!'
‘Show off pornography naked and betray the national humiliation in order to seek box office!’
Wan Qian seemed to want to talk to Xu Hui about the movie, and she asked again: "I heard that "The Flowers of War" has signed up for this year's Oscar. Do you think it can win the best foreign language film?"
"hehe…"
Paohui smiled but said nothing...
...
The two of them did not return to the company and went directly to the hotel.
Don’t misunderstand, Paohui is still strictly following the doctor’s instructions and firmly implementing abstinence.
The main creators of "New Longmen Inn" include Huang Wen, and Chen Farong, who is staying in the hotel room waiting for 12 o'clock to finish, so as to bring out the precise box office of both and then issue a press release.
Xu Hui came in, and a group of people immediately surrounded him. Huang Wen asked, "How is it?"
"Compared with "Living", it's more than a little bit worse!"
Paohui answered honestly.
"Then I look at Douban, why do so many people say 'This is Zhang Yimou's best commercial film?'"
"Water? Let's take a look!"
Paohui is a bit difficult to understand. According to the memories of later generations, "The Flowers of War" was so shady that it was so shameless. How could it be such a flattering praise?
‘…Zhang Yimou redefined Chinese blockbusters with delicate and profound stories, simple performances and beautiful pictures!’
‘Lao Touzi didn’t disappoint me this time. The Chinese directors should be one movie about Nanjing’s history!’
“…It really still occupies the halo of the subject matter!”
Xu Hui sighed.
In fact, as long as the films like "The Flowers of War" are not very bad, it will reveal the cruelty of the war, and basically have a good reputation.
“…Where can you win an Oscar?”
"Take a shit!"
Paohui couldn't help but swear: "The values of this movie are completely contrary to Western values. Not to mention winning awards, it is already a honor for Zhang Yimou to be nominated!"
“…is it that bad?”
"It's not a bad problem... I always feel that "The Flowers of War" is not a good story, maybe it's to evade censorship."
“…How much is the box office of "New Dragon Gate" now?”
Chen Farong suddenly interrupted and asked.
"59 million...it's 10:30 now, and there's a podium. It's estimated that by 12 o'clock, the box office should be around 62 million."
Chapter completed!
