Chapter 807 "Wolf Warrior 2" Premiere
The Great Player of Light and Shadow
As the saying goes, each generation has its own story. The Golden Age, Huang Liang and Wen martial arts have grown up with those born in the 1970s and 1980s. This generation grew up in the golden age of martial arts films.
The generation born in the 1990s, especially the generation in the early 1990s, caught up with the tail end of the golden age of martial arts during the most critical period for the growth of Sanguan - the late 1990s and the early 21st century.
But those born in 1995, or even those born in 2000, may not have grown up watching martial arts.
Therefore, the current decline of martial arts films is actually the loss of audience groups.
Those who control the remote control at home don’t like to watch martial arts anymore.
"Stop Killing" is actually a killing action film with a costume style.
There is no such thing as the righteousness of family and country and romance in traditional martial arts in the movie.
It tells a simple revenge story. The protagonist is forced out of the mountain, and the gods kill the gods and the Buddhas.
His character settings are simple, the story is fast-paced, and the action design is chic and beautiful, which is why it is a hit.
It's strange. If the story of "Stop Killing" were placed in modern times, it would never pass the test, but if placed in ancient times, it would be fine if it was made into a martial arts story.
It's not that easy for "Xiu Chun Dao 2" to replicate the success of "Stop Killing".
The rhythm of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" is not as lively and enjoyable as "Stop the Killing". Lu Yang stuffed the theme of the little character's helpless struggle in the face of the court into the film.
In order to take care of the actress, they added lame emotional scenes.
Yes, even though "Xiu Chun Knife 2" is a self-made film, Cheng Yu'an would like to say that the emotional scenes in both "Xiu Chun Knife" were very lame.
Maybe it's because Shen Lian's character is too perfect, but Lu Yang can only make him emotionally frustrated and make him have a bad taste in choosing women.
The popularity of "Stop Killing" only shows that action movies packaged in Hollywood rhythms are still accepted by the audience, but it does not mean that martial arts movies have ushered in a second spring.
Although the comprehensive box office of 38 million on the first day is a very good result, the crew of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" is still not very satisfied.
According to their pre-release estimates, the first day should be between 50 million and 70 million, so a total box office of 500 million would be considered a good result.
With a first-day score of 38 million, it has firmly topped the box office of the day.
Liu Shishi's performance is still not liked by the audience. Her dull eyes and stiff facial expression make the audience have to re-examine Shen Lian's vision of choosing women, and even Director Lu Yang's vision of choosing roles.
Regarding this, Lu Yang’s explanation is: “The character Hokusai plays in the heart, and Shi Shi’s acting is the result of unanimous discussion among the crew.”
It was really a embarrassment for Lu Yang.
But Yang Mi's performance in the original version will not be better than Liu Shishi's.
Therefore, Liu Shishi's appearance did not make the performance of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" worse, and of course, it did not make it better.
There is only one week left until "Wolf Warrior 2" is released.
Wu Jing is getting busier and busier. The previous activities she participated in were not very effective. The online popularity and pre-sales of "Wolf Warrior 2" did not meet expectations.
Many people were waiting to see the joke.
Even Yang Yang, who played Zhuo Yifan, had some criticisms about this, complaining deep down that Cheng Yuan forced him to take the role.
He had not yet become famous when he took on this drama, but this year's "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" made him a top-notch actor in one fell swoop, gaining tens of millions of fans.
Fans discovered this movie while looking through his upcoming film list.
Everyone complained that he should not take on such a military action film.
After talking for a long time, even he himself began to doubt the show.
Wu Jing didn't dislike young meat from the beginning. When he was preparing for "Wolf Warrior 2", he sent invitations to many of the top young meat at the time. He also knew that they were very popular and wanted to use their traffic to create a movie for him.
Movies strive for attention.
As a result, no one paid attention to him, and finally he approached Cheng Yu'an, who then forcibly gave the movie to Yang Yang.
Now that Yang Yang has exploded, Wu Jing must be happy.
But he also knows that Yang Yang's fans don't like him making such tough-guy military films.
Therefore, in order to gain attention for the film, Wu Jing also took good care of Yang Yang. Everywhere he went to promote, he praised Yang Yang for his hard work and hard work, which was different from other young actors.
Of course, Yang Yang is his actor, so he deserves a few compliments, but he is not so polite to other traffic and industry chaos.
[In other words, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading.
Whether he is seeking attention for the film or expressing his true feelings, Wu Jing went all out in promoting the film:
"If you don't know how to do it, and you still have to pretend to be a stand-in, will the audience buy tickets for you or for the stand-in? I think this is a basic morality, the basic morality of an actor, and you must learn it.
of.
"Experiencing life and feeling the role, how can it become a noble, great, and huge sacrifice? We must have regressed."
"I want you to act in a martial arts movie, and you hold a sword like a fire stick." Wu Jing said, waving the microphone in his hand and posing, "It's all kinds of stuff."
"I think as a girl, you don't want the boyfriend around you to be like this every day, right?" Wu Jing continued, "When a fight breaks out, my wife, you should resist first."
The reporters were all amused by him. Wu Jing laughed and said, "Yeah, isn't this ridiculous?"
Of course, he would also make up for himself: "Little fresh meat represents freshness. Don't always belittle this term and this group of people. I also had my green years. The younger generation will take over in the future."
For our sticks, I think more people should guide them and tell them what to do.
"Like our Yang Yang, I think it's very good. When I found him, he heard that he could play with real guns, real cannons and real tanks. He agreed without even reading the script." The audience can tell whether this is true or not. "
I said I would train for half a month and go to Africa to shoot.
"People didn't even frown and asked me when I could arrange for him to join the army for training. I think this is a good attitude. You can't belittle people just because they are good-looking. Their looks are given by their parents. Who doesn't want to look good?
"
But Wu Jing shouted so hard that when the film premiered on Sunday the 23rd, there were still only a few viewers and media present, and even the screening hall was not full.
Don't think that just because Yang Yang is there, reporters will support him. Should he be optimistic or not optimistic about it?
The premiere venue was also relatively shabby, and not many friends from the entertainment industry came to the stage to support.
At present, Guo Degang is the most famous guest.
"When will Yu'an and Yifei arrive?" Wu Jing asked backstage, "Didn't I say they would definitely arrive?"
"I just made a call, the traffic is blocked." The assistant said, "Yifei asked us to start first, don't wait for them."
Wu Jing asked again: "How long will it take for them to arrive?"
"It will take an hour at the fastest."
"It's too late," the opening time is approaching, "inform the host to get ready to start, we won't wait any longer."
How shabby are the creators of the premiere?
Even the lyricist of the promotional song was invited to the stage.
It’s not that film music workers are unimportant, but most film crews really don’t know how to bring the soundtrack team on stage.
By the time Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei arrived at the premiere theater, the scene had already entered the movie viewing stage, and the movie had been shown for 40 minutes.
Chapter completed!
