Chapter 593 Believe in Jiang Wen, worry about "Taiping Wheel"
The domestic promotion of "Interstellar" will definitely focus on young ladies.
Don’t doubt Liu Yifei’s appeal in China. What about Xiao Li? On the domestic poster of “Inception”, the young lady is the undisputed C-position.
Paramount chose Liu Yifei to join because it was interested in the Chinese market behind her.
The film studio expects the domestic box office to exceed US$100 million.
The young lady is indeed worthy of this expectation. The box office of "Interstellar" exceeded 5 million in the zero-hour show.
Very good results.
On Wednesday, the first day, it achieved an impressive result of 47 million with 35.6% of the film schedule.
Douban doesn't have a rating, but it has a five-star rating.
Nolan gathered his divinity in the country.
However, if you want to brag about Nolan, just brag about Nolan. Why should you involve Cheng Yuan?
"I'm no longer looking forward to Cheng Yu'an's "The Wandering Earth". He can't possibly make a better science fiction film than "Interstellar."
What’s even more hateful is that this comment has more than a thousand likes.
The raging popularity of "Interstellar" has caused domestic films that were released at the same time, such as "Wanted in the City" and "The Court" to lose their armor.
It exceeded 100 million in three days, and it exceeded 250 million in five days during the first weekend.
The explosive sales of "Interstellar" has aroused concerns in the industry: "The film will overdraw the Lunar New Year movie viewing potential in advance, which is especially detrimental to the upcoming Lunar New Year movies."
However, it must be admitted that such a film would be a hit at any time in China.
We can't just follow last year's example and let "Interstellar" compete with "Transformers 4" in the summer release. Then Hollywood will jump up and scold it.
In fact, the schedule of "Interstellar" is quite scientific. It will be released on the 12th, 17 days before the opening of the Lunar New Year festival. This is enough time for the market to digest this film.
Moreover, there is a lack of blockbusters in the Lunar New Year this year, if "The Wheel" is considered a blockbuster.
Only Xu Ke's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is considered a blockbuster, but "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" won't be released until Christmas, and "Interstellar" has no impact on it at all.
The release of "Interstellar" will attract some blockbuster fans in advance, but it will not have much impact on domestic film lovers.
Not to mention that this year’s Lunar New Year period, Chinese-language movies have almost fielded the strongest lineup, with celebrities from all walks of life joining the battle, vowing to make this year’s Lunar New Year period the strongest period.
On the first day of its second week of release, "Interstellar" scored 9.3 on Douban, the highest score in the past five years.
Ranked alongside "The Truman Show" and "The Pianist".
And Cheng Yu'an went to attend a Lunar New Year movie screening in theaters.
This year is the year of the Lunar New Year, and with phenomenal blockbusters like "Interstellar" warming up, theaters are very optimistic about this year's Lunar New Year season.
There will be many movies released during the Lunar New Year this year: "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" will be released on the 31st, the first film "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" of Tudou Video will be released on the 31st, and in the new year, "Running Man" will be released on the 30th of January.
A big movie, "Twenty Again" will be released in China and South Korea on February 19th, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The Yuan family will have four movies, which will give them a full sense of presence.
Cheng Yu'an's focus today is not on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and "Twenty Again" which will be promoted this year.
He talks about animated movies.
Animated films have always been a weak point of Chinese-language films. This year, I will use "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes", a not-so-well-produced animated film, to expand and talk about domestic animated films.
Li Ying, President of Tudou Pictures, talked about Chinese comics at the movie viewing party: "Our country's animated films have a very glorious history, and Shangmei Factory used to be the benchmark for domestic animation... Tudou Pictures will bring "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" for the Lunar New Year this year.
》This animated comedy is an animated film suitable for audiences of all ages... When making animated films, we must break the stereotype that "animation is only for children". Of course, I don't mean to not make children's animations. Now
"Pleasant Goat" and "Bear Bears", which are released every year, are both very good children's animated films.
"Furthermore, I find that one of the shortcomings of our current animated films is that they are too deeply influenced by Japanese comics.
"If you look at this comic, it depicts Chinese people and tells Chinese stories, but if you look at its style of painting, it is all in the style of Japanese comics. Chinese comics and Chinese comics are full of Japanese comics. And the models of the characters are all
It’s a European and American image, with no trace of Chinese people at all. I think this is a problem that needs to be solved urgently in the aesthetics of Chinese comics.”
Huh, I'm talking about "Douluo Dalu" and "Qin Shi Mingyue".
This pain will not be resolved even now, ten years later.
The character models in "Honor of Kings" are even more extreme. They are all foreign images with high nose bridges and deep eye sockets. Are Chinese faces not worthy of modeling?
Only when you have opinions can you cause controversy, and when there is controversy, you will attract attention.
Li Ying made plans for next year with theaters again: "Next summer we will release an animated film called "The Return of the Great Sage." I dare say that this Journey to the West animation will become a benchmark for domestic animation in recent years.
.”
But now everyone's attention is focused on live-action movies. Theaters are super real. I will let whoever sells tickets, no matter if it is a children's movie or something else.
But most producers still haven't changed their minds, including many people in our department, who think animation is for children.
How many years have you been chanting the slogan of supporting Chinese comics?
Who didn’t know that we wanted to create animation for all ages, but as a result, a large-scale 3D animation "The Story of XX" was produced for 21 million?
How many investors have defrauded subsidies in the name of animation.
They said they were building an animation industry base, but they turned their attention to real estate.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
But the protagonists of today’s film screening are still Wu Baige’s “The Taiping Wheel”, Jiang Wen’s “One Step Away” and Xu Ke’s “Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom”.
Theaters are the most optimistic about these three movies.
The last two films were okay, but in fact Cheng Yuan was not optimistic about "The Peace Wheel" and "One Step Away".
In an interview after the meeting, he also bluntly stated that he was not optimistic about "Taiping Wheel". He and Jiang Wen are good friends and would not undermine him: "Although the three films are adapted from real historical events, the heroic deeds of ***
It is a household name in China, and the audience already has a general understanding of the whole story, and there is no threshold for watching the movie. However, the Taiping Wheel incident is too unfamiliar to the audience, and there are many characters and complicated relationships. Of course, director Wu Baige’s scheduling can be trusted
, but I’m worried that the audience won’t be interested.”
""One Step Away" is adapted from Yan Ruisheng's work in the Republic of China, and the audience is also not familiar with the whole story." The reporter asked.
"Of course the same problem exists in "One Step Away", but I believe in Director Jiang. I have watched the film and the whole film is very funny. It has the usual style of director Jiang Wen, using a comedy style to show a murder.
, it’s much easier for the audience to accept it.”
In fact, from the audience's point of view, "One Step Away" is really not that good to watch, but from the director's point of view, the film is actually not that bad.
But in business, Jiang Wen has obviously lost his temper again.
Cheng Yu'an really liked the song and dance performance of the Flower Country's presidential campaign at the beginning of the film.
From this scene, we can see how strong Jiang Wen's ability to control the camera is. It is worth spending thirty or forty yuan to sit in the cinema and watch this song and dance performance.
The premise is that you can discern something from this performance.
So, the news report looked like this:
