Why did the original time and space "Die Renjie: The Four Heavenly Kings" lose its reputation? The box office is lost - the investment exceeds 300 million, the cumulative box office is 602 million, the box office is 240 million, and the loss is about 100 million...

The main reason is that the story is too sloppy, and many things have bugs, especially the character settings!

The most important thing that should be done in series of movies, especially commercial movies, is to ensure the consistency of the previous and subsequent works.

This coherence is not only reflected in the simple plot line, but also in the character's personality, item attributes, scene characteristics, etc. These things must be harmonious and unified...

Logically speaking, this should not be difficult. The three movies are all works by Mr. Xu, and the shooting interval is not long, not to mention that they are all their own things, even if you forget to go back and take a look.

But, there is still a problem!

For example, Kanglong mace!

Its setting in "Tongtian Empire": Di Renjie can judge where the opponent's weapon is the most fragile by the sound made by the Kanglong mace when it collided with other weapons, so he can use the Kanglong mace to hit that weakness, so he can kill the enemy's weapon in one go...

But in "The Four Heavenly Kings", it was changed as soon as it came out. Di Renjie fought with that man, neither male nor female, and a bamboo stick made his joints unable to move. It was because Di Renjie usually learned how to beat leaves by himself, and the Kanglong mace itself was caused by meteorite iron, so whether he could listen or not, it was as easy to use in the hands of Yuchi Zhenjin.

This is a typical example of changing the previous setting to serve the plot.

Because there is no way to change, Yuchi Zhenjin in the Four Heavenly Kings Temples could not defeat the red-haired one. Di Renjie had to block it before the monk came, so he had to add another "insight" skill to Kanglong mace: "All skills used by the enemy troops must not be accepted"...

This is not the most critical, the most unacceptable thing is the setting about Wu Zetian!

In "The Empire of Tongtian", the relationship between Wu Zetian and Di Renjie is the most memorable point in the whole film.

Let me put it this way, "The Empire of Tongtian" is the relationship between them that supports the overall pattern of the entire film.

First of all, they are kings and ministers, secondly, they are confidants, again, they admire each other, and finally they are political enemies.

The two images of Wu Zetian and Di Renjie are highly consistent in "solving cases". From a general perspective, the two are in the same camp, but they are always harmonious and different.

What is Wu Zetian in "Tongtian Empire"?

Have power, ambition, skill, cruelty, know people and be good at responsibilities, be able to tolerate and hide, kill and make decisions, and plan...

It's okay to be in "Divine Dragon King"...

"Divine Capital Dragon King" was when Di Renjie first entered the court. The relationship between Wu Zetian and Di Renjie was very subtle in "Divine Capital Dragon King" because Wu Zetian found that Di Renjie would not listen to her at all. At this time, Wu Zetian's setting can be seen not as mature as "Tongtian Empire". What can be seen is that Wu Zetian, as the queen of heaven, has shown enough ambition and desire for power. She has repeatedly surpassed Li Zhi's orders, but she is not calm enough. She even has a little jealousy of being a woman. Some people say that it is twenty years apart, and Empress Wu has a growth trajectory more realistic!

When it comes to "The Four Heavenly Kings", this is unacceptable!

The most deadly thing in "The Four Heavenly Kings" is the flattening and gendered image of Wu Zetian.

The flat character... is reasonable, after all, there are too many characters to be told, so just treat Wu Zetian as an NPC!

The most disgusting thing is the plot of "A alien pretends to be Wu Zetian and seduces Di Renjie"!

The time of "The Four Heavenly Kings" was twenty-one years before Wu Zetian became emperor. We all know that Wu Zetian was the oldest emperor in my country's history. She ascended the throne at the age of 67. At that time, Wu Zetian was already forty-six years old!

Some people say that it is not a trick of aliens!

But what I want to say is that Xu Laoqian or other screenwriters, as architects, should not have such unacceptable ideas.

What does this idea prove? It proves that the Wu Zetian they built, in addition to politicians, also has the setting of "beautiful woman".

Once this setting is established, the relationship between Wu Zetian and Di Renjie has to be added to the relationship between a "beautiful woman" and a "talented man", and the two of them inevitably bring a kind of ambiguity. This ambiguity is combined with the political relationship that is competing with each other in "Tongtian Empire" and "Divine Dragon King", which makes a relationship with a high-minded intention fall out all of a sudden, making people feel sick.

So, for series of videos, setting is really a very important thing.

The biggest problem with "The Four Heavenly Kings" is that the setting changes are chaotic and very casual. This movie will be bad if it is bad, but the worst thing is that it is placed in the series of movies. If it is bad, it will affect the previous ones.

Not to mention that the overall framework of the video is nothing except for special effects...

In addition, I encountered "The Richest Man in Xihong City" at the same time, and the screening was directly crushed...

(It's really a pity that Di Renjie's series is a masterpiece of domestic heavy industry films! The Tang version of the approaching science!)

...

The most important thing about the so-called movie universe is linkage!

You can't just have a few sequel movies to claim this title. A unique world view, an infinitely extended story system, and a complex character relationship are all necessary conditions for becoming the film universe.

"The Jinwu Guard, Dali Temple, and the alien race can all be independent... You can communicate more with Lu Yang, he is now tinkering with the universe of "Sword Rain"..."

"Okay, I'll try..."

Xu Xiake thought about it seriously, then nodded...

"Let's talk about it. In addition to costume martial arts and magic dramas, our Yuehua also focuses on science fiction, action and eroticism... No, romance movies!"

Damn, I almost told the truth...

"Ahem...so we need to establish a preliminary film industry system, and we need many people who understand the American film industry. From the second half of the year, you will plan about ten people to let them study in the United States. We will bear all the expenses every six months!"

After waiting for a few seconds, no one spoke, Zhang Junsheng asked: "...Is there any problem?"

Zhao Yijun hesitated for a moment and asked: "Mr. Zhang, their variety show department has put forward an idea."

"Variety show department? What does it have to do with the film department?"

"That's right, they want to shoot a special episode of "Dad, Where to Go", and then screen it in theaters..."

“…”

Is the big movie "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

How do you say this?

Zhang Junsheng hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer...

From the perspective of film production, variety shows and movies are definitely a fucking thing, but...but it makes money!

"Where Are We Going, Dad?" movie with a box office of 700 million yuan;

"Running, Brothers" tried the big movie, and the box office reached 260 million four days after its release;

Then I was scolded!

This kind of lazy and sloppy pure fan movie is very undesirable!

As the leading content manufacturing industry in China, if even it does this, the audience will probably lose confidence in domestic movies...

"Forget it, if you do this kind of movie, you may be scolded to death... In this way, let me tell you about Gu Yongjiang and let him open an online theater in Yuehua Video and launch the Yuehua Video exclusively on the movie "Where Are We Going, Dad", and the ticket price is set... and it costs five yuan, and the VIP is two yuan and five yuan..."

You don’t make a bastard if you have money!
