Chapter 357 Word of Mouth and Box Office (5/5)
The script of "The Great Wall" was originally a European who came to China to steal gunpowder, then slept with a Chinese girl, and saved the earth by the way...
Not to mention Zhang Yimou's filming this story, even Li'an Spielberg Nolan, it will be a scolding!
Paralysis, can't we save ourselves? We need you to come from Europe to save us? Your salary is extremely high?
Zhang Junsheng directly asked a domestic screenwriter to re-wrote the composition, such as stealing gunpowder, getting out of the sheets, getting out of the sheets, fighting, getting out of the sheets?
The setting must be foreigners, and they are the first male protagonist, or at least tied with the male protagonist. Then change his identity to the nomadic people in the north. The Russians are Westerners!
This change has directly risen to the height of national unity.
Political correctness!
Foreigners help us fight monsters, not foreigners save us.
Mainland audiences can also accept it!
On the scene, the special effects production of nearly 70 million US dollars was in place.
Especially the Taotie scrambled to climb up the Great Wall wall and imitated "World of Zombie" - of course, "World of Zombie" has not been released yet, giving people a particularly shocking feeling.
...
At the end of the movie, a group of viewers walked out of the screening hall with satisfaction!
Their requirements for popcorn were completely met by "The Great Wall".
Beauty, passion, excitement, give whatever you want, the plot and logic are also online.
Of course, the scale is also very restrained, this is a PG-13 movie.
Zhang Yimou has watched the movie and knows that many scenes of fighting have been cut off, especially those that are more violent, with very small scales.
There is no way, if you want to show it on a large scale, you have to pay attention to the scale!
Walking and chatting in groups of three or three:
"…I think it's OK, it's worth the price, and the 3D is also good, much better than those that were later converted!"
"I think it's good, but the Douban review is only 6 points..."
"Don't worry about that, Zhang Junsheng just said that his colleagues have prepared 20 million to discredit the Great Wall..."
"I'm so pitiful. The overseas box office of "The Great Wall" has been $160 million, and North America has exceeded 50 million. What else do they want?"
"How can you show your taste if you don't scold him?"
"…They said that Zhang Yimou and Zhang Junsheng are not tolerated in the Beijing circle, so there are a bunch of media that specifically slander them. Is it true?"
"How could I know about this? However, it is true that "The Beijing News" and "Southern Weekend" persistently attack Zhang Junsheng..."
...
The attendance rate of data feedback in eye sight was very good in real-time box office. As of 6 pm, "The Great Wall" has won 58 million box office results.
The golden field has not arrived yet, and the first day of "The Great Wall" is likely to set a new box office record.
On the plane, Zhang Junsheng chatted with Lao Tozi.
They are going to fly to Wuhan to promote...
The roadshow promotion of "The Great Wall" focuses on second- and third-tier small cities, first-tier big cities, and large ticket warehouses are handed over to Zhang Yimou and Zhang Junsheng.
The box office data of the two movies "The Great Earthquake" and "You Are the Deskmates" can be seen that the box office share in second- and third-tier cities accounts for more than 60%...
"…In fact, I'm used to it. When the earliest preparations of "Red Sorghum", some people said that my "One and Eight" praised bandits for fighting against Japan. When "Red Sorghum" was released, some people criticized the characters in "Red Sorghum" for living in a gangster and lacking a sense of sublimity."
“…Ah? Someone criticized “One and Eight”?”
"I've gone too much. At that time, they said two words: Artistic mediocrity, political reactionary! Many people have that kind of herd mentality. You have to have a scale in your heart. If they can't scold you, you will deny yourself!"
Zhang Junsheng smiled bitterly: "...I feel that after a while, my "Super Body" will be released, and there will definitely be a bunch of people scolding you for being boring..."
"Super Body?"
"It's a science fiction film, pure Hollywood landscape, and extremely entertaining..."
"Then you have to be mentally prepared!"
"…Are you not angry at all?"
"What's the use of being angry?"
Zhang Yimou sighed: "We are very strict in our own movies, but we use another set of judgment standards for other people's movies, which is a typical double standard. Foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures, which is a particularly obvious feeling. We all understand foreign movies, we are talking about dreams and virginity. We immediately show a very sharp sword to make you lose your skin. After all, we just don't cherish our artists or our creations."
"Yes, if the director of "The Great Wall" was replaced by Spielberg, even if he was replaced by a small director from Mexico or Britain, the score would not be only six points!"
Zhang Yimou was born to be scolded. If he was scolded by a commercial film, he would not be scolded by others, his plot would not be good enough. If he was scolded by others, he would be scolded by others, and he would always have reasons to scold him.
Director Li Anda screwed up "Billy Lynn's Midfield War", and some people actually praised "And Lee used his deep oriental philosophy to make an American main theme movie."
Tell me where the Li'an oriental philosophy of this movie is!
Can you be a little bit more face?
The most speechless thing is "Making Woodstock Music Festival", anti-traditional, hippies, drug use, sexual development...
Then a group of people knelt down and said: The sea of people fluctuated, and the stage at the center emitted thousands of lights, and the whole world was floating, deeply intoxicated.
If you try another Chinese director, you will definitely scold you for being incorrect in terms of values!
“…Audiences need guidance, they will always mature. This takes time, so there is no hurry!”
Zhang Junsheng smiled: "I thought you would scold the audience for being trash!"
"How can the audience be rubbish?"
"I just say it casually..."
"The movie is not selling well, first look for the reasons from yourself and never blame the audience..."
...
With the large-scale painting of "The Great Wall", in just half a day, the reputation of the movie was completely polarized. This polarization is not like the kind of film that the audience likes or dislikes that the audience hates, but is completely different from the reputation of the audience.
Film critics often "Zhang Yimou is dead", "The Great Wall" first review: Zhang Yimou, who is in trouble, ends here...', "World-class special effects cannot cover up cosmic malice," "I am not a hero if I can't watch "The Great Wall" but those who dare to watch "The Great Wall" are really awesome", "Excellent satire, poor movie - review "The Great Wall"'
The short comments are all: Zhang Yimou has been honored to be on the blacklist of the unsecured period in the evening!
This movie must be boycotted!
I haven't read it yet, and I may not watch it. I will pre-check one star!
In short, in their words, Zhang Yimou and "The Great Wall" are unforgivable and should be buried together for Chinese movies...
It's exactly the same as expected!
Just like "The Flowers of War" was released, a group of people who have never watched the movie at all have also won a star...
Understandably, spare no effort...
Of course, Zhang Junsheng did not name the name on Weibo, but instead showed his eye-catching score and the first day of box office.
The eye-catching score is 9.4 points, the first day's box office is 94 million, and the box office forecast is 1.175 billion!
Chapter completed!
