Summarize Jiang Wen's movies in one sentence: "I made this dumpling just because of this jealousy."

Jiang Wen himself also admitted that for his movies, it is not enough to have a story. He can think of the story in ten days and a half, but the lines in it will take a long, long time to polish.

"I told the screenwriter a story, and the screenwriter said it can be filmed. Why are you looking for me? I said it can't be filmed. Of course I already have the story, but you can't rely on stories to solve problems in movies. This is what happens in many movies.

Reasons for poor performance.

"Your story is an idea, but there are no details or lines in it. The lines are not for the purpose of narrative. For me, the narrative is too simple. Then I can really make a silent film and be done with it."

"The line for me is to find the corners in his (character)'s heart that he may not have discovered himself, and use the opposite, concealed, or even the moment he accidentally exposes it to let everyone gain insight.

his heart.

"Only lines like this make sense."

This is the charm of Jiang Wen's movies.

Needless to say, the lines in "Let the Bullets Fly" have been picked up and chewed over by the audience ten years later.

Cheng Yu'an liked the two scenes in it the most. One was when Mazi took office on his first day, and Master Tang told him that he was in the wrong place.

"It's too late! The previous county magistrates postponed the taxation of Echeng to 90 years later, which is the year 2010 in the Western calendar. We are in the wrong place."

"I think this place is pretty good."

"The people have become poor and have no money to squeeze out."

"Labour and management never want to take money from the poor."

"Whose money are you going to take if you don't scratch the poor guy's money?"

"Whoever has money gets it."

"Have you ever been a county magistrate?"

"No."

"Let me tell you, when the county magistrate takes office, he has to create a clever name, win over the gentry, and pay taxes and donations. Only after they pay can the people follow suit. After receiving the money, the gentry's money will be returned in full, and the people's money will be divided into 30/70."

"Why is it only 70%!"

"Seventy percent belongs to others! It depends on Huang Silang's face to get 30%."

"Whose face?"

"he."

"Him?! I came all the way here just to see his face?"

…………

This line was later edited and written by countless up owners, which shows its brilliance.

And during the Hongmen Banquet, what the audience saw was probably the game between the three movie stars at the wine table, saying a bunch of unpredictable lines to test each other.

But what Cheng Yu'an saw was Jiang Wen's lens and lighting in this scene.

This scene was only 8 minutes long and was shot 35 times. It took a week. Each shooting was done with one roll of film, which cost 100,000 rolls of film.

The setting and lighting of this scene were very particular. Three cameras shot in a circle, and the three wine bottles on the table played a very important role.

If this game is to be unfolded, it would take ten thousand words to stop it.

Ring-track shooting can best express the interaction and game between characters. You come and go, which is very exciting and exciting.

The Hongmen Banquet scene can basically be said to be a textbook for Huan Gui. The three characters come and go, pretending, and combining reality and reality.

In the end, Mu Zhi got nothing. He was riding a white horse in disgrace, with a solemn expression on his face.

The horse-drawn train came again.

"Lao San, are you going to Shanghai or Pudong?"

"Shanghai is Pudong, Pudong is Shanghai! Hahahaha!!"

Mu Zhi resolutely rode up to follow and rushed to another battle.

"The Sun Also Rises" plays and the movie ends.

Cheng Yu'an has watched "Let the Bullets Fly" countless times before, and today he watched it again at the premiere. As the trumpets of "The Sun Also Rises" played, Cheng Yu'an couldn't stop his tears from flowing down.

It's not that he's being pretentious. This piece of music, combined with the lonely figure of Mu Zhi's retreating back, especially brought Cheng Yu'an to tears.

Jiang Wen has never interpreted the political metaphor of "Let the Bullets Fly" in public, and Cheng Yu'an doesn't want to over-interpret it, but he will just put the story of "Let the Bullets Fly" on another person.

When the movie ended, the audience stood up and Cheng Yuan whistled loudly.

"Let the Bullets Fly" sparked a huge discussion as soon as it was released, with everyone interpreting the film's metaphors.

"Have you watched "Let the Bullets Fly"? It's so exciting." Even the company has been discussing it for the past few days.

"I haven't watched it. I can't buy tickets!" There are even scalpers' tickets for "Let the Bullets Fly."

"Didn't our Tao Piao Ticket include 200,000 tickets? Didn't you go see it?"

"What are you doing with two hundred thousand tickets? They were gone the next day and I didn't grab them."

"Who do you think was standing on the train at the end? Is it Master? Isn't he dead?"

"Who was the second child betrayed by?"

"There is a problem. The cavalry regiment will be here soon. Even if Mazi spends money to buy guns, he can't do it so quickly. How many guns would it take to issue guns to the whole city?"

"Although Huang Silang has fallen, the two major families are still there, and the people of Echeng will continue to survive under the oppression of the two major families."

Due to the heated discussion, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" is soaring like a rocket, and there is no way to stop it.

30 million in the first day, over 100 million in two and a half days, 170 million in the first week of 4 days, and 200 million in the fifth day.

During this period, there may have been criticism from some activists. For example, a CCTV anchor said on his personal Weibo:

"The swear words, bloody scenes and sexual innuendos that filled the entire film tortured me, an ordinary viewer, to the point where I had to leave early."

"The film's appeal does not rely on showing public disembowelment and putting hands on women's sensitive parts, not to mention the obscene language shouted in Shanxi dialect. These can only make the audience feel extremely uncomfortable."

"But when a child, especially a teenager, watches these 'fist and pillow' scenes, will it inject an irrational impulse into their growing body and mind? I'm very worried! Box office is important, but responsibility is even more important!"

Talking about teenagers again.

Teenagers are not as fragile as you think.

What about “Resident Evil 4,” which will be released in China on November 16?

The popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly" has greatly reduced the schedule of several films released at the beginning of the month. The biggest impact was on "The Big Bang" and "The Road to Misfortune".

The two movies are not backed by big names. Even in their own Jiahe Cinemas, because there are too many viewers to watch "Let the Bullets Fly", even if the theater managers want to guarantee the schedule of "The Road", they cannot ignore the market rules and only leave the film every day.

"Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes", "People on the Road" and "The Orphan of Zhao" are played in a loop in the two halls.

Although "The Orphan of Zhao" is affected by Chen Kaige's name, its market share is still slightly higher than the first two.

Then, "If You Are the One 2" was launched, with a strong box office of 33 million on the first day, confirming Feng's comedy's strong position in the Lunar New Year festival!

Because Yuan Yuan has 37% of the quota, they replaced the second female lead, Mango, with Yang Xue.

"Let the Bullets Fly" released violent news at this time. Producer Ma Ke said that during the filming, he and Jiang Wen had a big fight over the advertising placement.

During the Hongmen Banquet, several century-old wineries wanted to be implanted, and each of them paid tens of millions. The three wineries compromised and were willing to leave the country together. Each of the three drank a kind of wine, which was a real deal of 30 million.

But Jiang Wen disagreed, saying that it would ruin the rhythm of the movie. "Jiang Wen almost gave up."

The two had a falling out and had a cold war for more than a month, during which time they relied on their daughter-in-law to spread the word.

Why are you talking about this now?

Because the advertising revenue of "If You Are the One 2" is as high as 60 million, no less than 20 brands are embedded in the film, and there are many close-ups.

To say this at this time is to say that "If You Are the One 2" is not sincere.

This is indeed the case. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Feng Xiaogang used this film to make money.

A few days after Cheng Yuan joined the crew for filming, he took half a day off to go to the premiere of "If You Are the One 2".
Chapter completed!
