Chapter 793 The Shanghai International Film Festival opens
Does the success of "Li Lei and Han Meimei" indicate that the youth film scene has come to an end?
This movie is outrageous. It borrowed characters from two textbooks and started to stir up emotions.
The audience is growing rapidly. Does this kind of film also want to make money?
The box office on the first day of release on Friday was only 11 million, and it went even lower over the two weekend days, with a total of 14 million in the two days.
No one is watching.
The market changes so fast. If you make a lot of money in a certain genre in the first two years, follow the trend and start a project, by the time the movie is made and released, the limelight may have passed long ago. Others will make a fortune and run away, and you will cry at the loss.
No one cares about my mother.
The company blocked those who came to ask for roles, and he also met with a few who could hire Cheng Yuan himself.
Many of the people who came for roles were top-notch people, and he had seen the word "return to the motherland" many times in the past few days.
He also saw three little ones.
He just finished the college entrance examination and still obediently called him Senior Brother.
The four characters also mean that I will take the film school entrance examination next year.
Cheng Yu'an responded with a smile: "I will consider it." But he did not say what specific story he wanted to film.
Liu Yifei is still training hard.
Now it has been changed to taking advantage of the cool weather to do equestrian training at the racecourse in the morning. In the afternoon there is physical fitness, movement and weapon training, and I continue to practice until I go home at eight or nine in the evening.
Every day.
It wasn't until the opening of the Shanghai Film Festival that the young lady appeared in public again.
Cheng Yuan was absent from the film festival due to preparations for his new film.
The red carpet ceremony started on time at 6pm at the Magic City Grand Theater.
At the opening ceremony, the crew of the movie "Beautiful Love" took the lead on the red carpet.
Yu Nan and director Billy August took the lead. As soon as everyone stepped on the red carpet, the audience and media screamed and cheered.
Yu Nan has nothing to say, and the audience knows her relatively well.
Director Billy August has a long history. He is a Danish national treasure director. He has won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, a Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and two Cannes Palme d'Or. He may be the winner of this year's film festival.
The director with the highest honors.
However, the old man has not been very popular in the European and American film circles in the past two years. He is more active in China. This year he also served as the chairman of the jury of the Beijing International Film Festival. I heard that the next two new films will also premiere at domestic film festivals.
.
The organizers were also discerning and did not let the two crews of "Youth" and "Little Princess" get too close together.
The crew of "Youth" left first, with Feng Xiaogang and Huang Xuan wearing suits. The six actresses from the art troupe in the film all appeared in old-fashioned military uniforms.
Feng Xiaogang also wears a pair of sunglasses, which is very coquettish.
Otherwise, the focus would follow Feng Xiaogang wherever he went.
After the crew of "Youth" left, three more groups of stars left, and then they joined the crew of "Little Princess".
Liu Yifei's pink V-shaped dress complemented the red carpet. Together with producer Qin Hailu's white floor-length dress, one was bright and the other was elegant. Together they formed the most beautiful scenery on the red carpet. Pictured above!
Of course, there are also the director of "Little Princess" Zhang Meng and other actors and behind-the-scenes staff.
After the red carpet, the opening ceremony was held in the theater, and guests present also watched the opening video.
The young lady no longer acts, but the original plot of the film is preserved.
Billy August used his Nordic-style lens language to tell the story of China's Anti-Japanese War.
Of course Yu Nan's acting skills are good.
After watching the film, Liu Yifei was moved by Yu Nan's acting skills, Yingzi's tenacity and the director's extremely calm and restrained audio-visual language, but she still felt something was wrong.
When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I remembered that Cheng Yuan had told her about the movie "The Last Samurai" before.
The so-called "Western arrogance".
Their monotheistic culture genetically determines that they will not and cannot recognize the power of the world other than themselves.
In their eyes, the outside world is sinful, and the lives of their people are difficult and need to be saved or destroyed.
It doesn’t matter what the purpose of the Eastern Expedition is, but whether it is to save foreign countries and eliminate heretics in order to save face.
That's why there are movies like "The Last Samurai".
Westerners come to the hot land of the East to save your people and sleep with your women.
This set of values is also reflected in "Feng Huo Fang Fei".
The Flying Tigers are here to save the Chinese people during the War of Resistance.
In the film, the fallen Flying Tiger member Jack is rescued by a Chinese woman Yingzi, but why does the film arrange for Yingzi to be a widow?
It’s not just for Western visitors to save the lonely hearts of Chinese women.
Why not arrange for Yingzi and his wife to be healthy, rescue Jack from the Flying Tigers in distress, and let the three of them fight together?
How can you highlight the superiority of white people when photographed like this?
Billy August may not have thought that the values behind this film would be interpreted in this way by Liu Yifei. This arrangement should be his unconsciousness.
It’s not that Liu Yifei has a persecution delusion. The appearance of such a film will be interpreted as a theory of Western superiority.
Chinese people are quite sensitive to this period of history and it is inevitable to think too much about it.
As a result, the film received praise from film critics and the media the next day, praising Yu Nan's performance and the director's audiovisual language, but the reviews from the audience were not very good.
Ordinary viewers may not be able to comment on the film in any profound way, but they clearly know that this is not the anti-war film they want to watch.
On the second day, there were many activities at the film festival.
"Spring Knife 2" was announced on the same day to be scheduled for summer and premiered as the opening film of "Jackie Chan Action Movie Week".
"The Founding of an Army" held a grand premiere press conference and announced that it will be released on July 28.
Remote held a "Remote Movie Night" in the evening. At the party, Remote announced several new films that will be shot this year or are in preparation.
Yuan Yuan holds its own film release conference at the end or beginning of every year, and does not pay much attention to the promotional effect of the Shanghai Film Festival.
But today we also have three new films, all of which are comedies.
They are: "Cohabitation in Time and Space", starring: Tong Liya, Lei Jiayin, Yu Hewei; "The Richest Man in Xihong City", starring: Shen Teng, Ma Li; "The Unknown", starring: Ren Suxi, Chen Jianbing,
Zhang Yu, Pan Binlong.
By the way, I would like to inform the outside world about the progress of "Painted Skin 4", "Thieves 3" and "Detective Chinatown 2" that everyone is most concerned about.
However, are these three movies the most focused on by the outside world?
Is it Cheng Yuan's new film and Liu Yifei's recent crazy fitness training is to compete in "Mulan"?
However, remote executives refused to respond directly to these two questions: "It is not convenient to disclose" and "will inform everyone at the appropriate time."
Coincidentally, this year's Magic City Film Festival happens to have a "Disney Classic Animation Screening" session.
Seven Disney classic animations were screened, but "Mulan" was not included.
The reporter asked Disney about the progress of the "Mulan" movie.
Chapter completed!
