The original "Wind" spent a lot of money on props, and even went to the United States to borrow props in order to restore historical objects.

But in Cheng Yuan's hands, the money was saved a lot.

However, "The Wind" is a period drama after all, and at Cheng Yu'an's request, both Fu Hua Dao strived to restore the style of the time.

Cheng Yu'an led the crew to read historical materials, conduct on-site visits, and even go to museums to borrow other people's collections to imitate. This job is not easy at all.

Cheng Yu'an's busy feet are not touching the ground, and time has quietly entered December, arriving at the most important period of the year - the Lunar New Year period.

"Mei Lanfang" directed by Chen Kaige has made its first hit.

I don't know what the General Administration was thinking. "Mei Lanfang" was originally scheduled for the 12th, but suddenly it was moved to the 4th.

This operation disrupted the theater chain's position.

But Chen Kaige still has the cards, and the premiere will open at 6 p.m. at prime time.

From the first day to midnight, the 6-hour screening time grossed 5.5 million nationwide. By the 5th of the second day, the premiere settlement was 9.5 million, and the total box office on the first day was 15 million.

It became the highest-grossing literary film of the year.

That Chen Kaige who filmed "Farewell My Concubine" is back again?

It’s noisy!

This time, the bad reviews for "Mei Lanfang" are getting worse even faster than for "The Promise".

Audiences at the premiere began to complain as soon as they came out of the cinema: "The scene between young Mei Lanfang and Thirteen Yan, where Mei Lanfang begins his era, is simply perfect. The actors, rhythm, story, characters, and meaning are all there."

Click on it, the pictures are beautiful, especially the scene of singing in the theater, which has the feeling of "Farewell My Concubine", which makes people feel that Peking Opera is really beautiful."

"When I watched the first part of "Mei Lanfang", I felt that I really paid for my ticket. I thought that Chen Kaige had finally made a good movie. However, this feeling did not last long. Li Ming's version of Mei Lan

When Fang shows up, the pacing and plot start to feel draggy and boring.”

"In terms of appearance, Li Ming is not too bad. He is gentle and gentle, and is quite close to the Mei Lanfang we imagined. However, except for his expressionless face and suppressed voice, he is completely unattractive."

"Meng Xiaodong, played by Zhang Ziyi, appeared and the scene was a little more lively. The crying scene after Li Ming and Meng Xiaodong broke up, and during the Japanese occupation period, Mei Lanfang announced a strike while growing a beard and collapsed in tears at the press conference. They all moved me.

The audience was impressed. However, these small touches could not save the overall loss of control."

"Qiu Rubai (Sun Honglei) and Mei Lanfang had a bit of a broken back feeling at the beginning, but it was completely invisible later on. They seemed to have a working relationship, and their 'love' was not fully expressed."

"The scene where Fu Zhifang, played by Chen Hong, went to Meng Xiaodong to persuade her to leave Mei Lanfang was okay, but the quarrel with Sun Honglei who came to her door made her cry and scream like a shrew."

What the audience is most dissatisfied with is Chen Kaige's "vulgar" tendency: "Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong only have to sing "Meilong Town" ("Dragon Playing with Phoenix"). The lyrics of this scene are very vulgar and meaningless.

Obscene. In order to please the audience, Chen Kaige simply lowered his style."

Otherwise, it’s hard to fool the audience now!

If you want to recreate the glory of "Farewell My Concubine", you just have to keep the aesthetics as good as possible, but it's so coquettish.

So, Sister Chen Hong, can you please stop interfering in the script?

A director who doesn't stick to the script is still a good director.

Cheng Yu'an doesn't care about "Mei Lanfang" at all, he is now at the premiere of "Ip Man".

"This script is tailor-made by the company for Zhen Zhuan." He went on stage and boasted.

A reporter brought up old issues again and asked about the conflicting topics between the two sides.

Brother Hong Jinbao, a martial arts instructor, responded: "I eat food every day. You can't say that if you eat it today, you won't eat it tomorrow. There are so many people filming Once Upon a Time, and "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple" was also filmed many times. Why can Ip Man only be alone?

shoot?"

Is Hong Jinbao afraid of this?

"We are preparing to make "Ip Man" into a series. We initially plan to make three films, and there may also be a final chapter." Cheng Yu'an, as the producer of "Ip Man", talked eloquently on the stage.

Liu Yifei, who came down to support her, smiled and looked at her boyfriend on the stage.

"Director Ye, will Bruce Lee appear in the second film?" One of the key points in the marketing of "Ip Man" is "Bruce Lee's master".

"Yes," director Ye Wei-xin responded, "and I really like Jay Chou's role as Bruce Lee."

Jay Chou himself is also a Bruce Lee fan.

Even when Ye Weixin was in a panic, his face was not red and his heart was not beating. He was just talking about marketing before the screening, so he just opened his mouth.

Although "Ip Man" has now become a remote project, the company had previously judged that "Ip Man" would definitely perform well in the Cantonese market.

Therefore, the director of "Ip Man" still chose Ye Weixin, and only changed two supporting roles.

Zhang Yongcheng asked Yan Danchen to star.

Li Zhao handed it over to his junior brother in the film school, Cui Peng, the most handsome Wuhua monk.

The pre-screening interviews have come to an end for the time being, and the protagonists took to the stage to watch the movie with the audience and guests.

Liu Yifei sat next to Cheng Yuan and felt depressed.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Yu'an tilted his head and asked her softly, not daring to make any unnecessary moves. The scene was full of reporters and spectators.

"Have you never forgotten your old love for Yan Danchen?"

"Where are you following me?" Cheng Yu'an was speechless, "I was only that old at that time, what did I know? Besides, they didn't promise me either."

"Look, you asked her to play Chang'e in "Lotus Lantern". It's so beautiful!" Yan Danchen's appearance as Chang'e is indeed not bad.

"She was still the heroine in "Butterfly Effect 2", and now she is filming "Ip Man"." Liu Yifei is very familiar with these things.

"Her three movies put together are not as big as yours, "Inception"! It cost over 150 million U.S. dollars to play with DiCaprio, think about it if I sold the role of Adrian to Huayi, no?"

If you say too much, I can take 100 million out of Wang Zhonglei's pocket." Cheng Yu'an said.

Liu Yifei thought for a while and smiled: "That's true. But how long has it been? Why is there no news at all about "Inception"?"

"Work slowly and carefully. With such a large investment, everything must be considered. Nolan's script has not been finalized yet. I estimate that filming will not start until June or July next year at the earliest."

Liu Yifei nodded after hearing this and didn't say much, but she was blaming herself in her heart.

As Cheng Yu'an said, if he sells the role of Adrian, he can just sit back and collect the money.

Not to mention that he still holds the investment share of 100 million US dollars in "Inception". If this plate is distributed, Cheng Yu'an can still make a lot without paying a penny.

And I am still sitting here feeling inexplicably jealous!

Just because my boyfriend wanted to chase a woman but failed to catch up with him.

And Liu Yifei also knew that Yan Danchen was not interested in Cheng Yuan, and Yan didn't like people younger than her.
Chapter completed!
