Chapter 179 'Dragon King of Shendu' has a super high box office and an unsatisfactory reputation
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the theory of hidden rules for selling butts is simply nonsense at the top level of the entertainment industry. The phenomenon of hidden rules in the entertainment industry at the bottom is very common. That is because the things affected by the hidden rules are not enough to shake the capital of a project.
.
You said that even if you are more beautiful than the fairy sister, although you are not famous at all, but you are willing to be unspoken, can you be the heroine of a movie with an investment of over 100 million? It is simply impossible. In the face of commercial interests, all unspoken rules are
not applicable.
The producer considers several criteria for selecting the leading actor, including popularity, acting skills, background, strength, etc. The director then considers the compatibility of the character and whether the actor is suitable before making the final decision.
It can be said that the cast of a movie has been pre-determined from the beginning of the project, and the roles released are all unimportant supporting roles. Only among these supporting roles can you find the possibility of rising to the top through unspoken rules.
Of course, the above are only large-scale commercial productions. As for those small productions or independent films, it is a bit more confusing, and it is possible for unspoken rules to rise to the top.
Li He has been suspected before that he sold his ass to Yu Zheng, but it was just gossip every day, and there was no real evidence.
As the youngest actor born in the 1990s, Li Hyuk himself is considered a scarce resource and has been robbed by many film projects. However, many of the films are shoddy and are simply making money through Li Hyuk's fame.
Of course Li Hyuk refused such a book. After all, no one is like Mr. Xu. The movie had a mediocre reputation, but it was a big hit at the box office.
As of the end of the National Day holiday on October 7, "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" has grossed 656 million in theater box office, ranking fifth in the annual box office list, preceded by the Hollywood film "Pacific Rim" and Li Hyuk
Starring in "To Our Fading Youth".
In this case, Li Hyuk created a miracle. The two films he starred in that year were among the top five at the box office, and the top three domestic films. The first was Xingye's film "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons".
Such achievements have certainly greatly increased Li Hyuk's commercial value, causing more producers to focus on Li Hyuk.
However, although "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" was a box office hit, and authoritative forecasting agencies predicted that the film's box office would eventually exceed 900 million, the film's reputation was actually not satisfactory. The film's rating on Douban was only 6.9 points, not even seven points.
Many media have also criticized the film. A professional film critic from Sina Entertainment commented: "'Detective Dee: The Dragon King' still continues the official case-solving model in 'Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven', and the audience only sees the warrior but not the hero."
Even at the technical level, the director's long-famous floral rainstorm style of sharp and fast editing was rarely used in order to take care of the 3D effect, and was replaced by a large number of high-speed slow-motion performances, which improved the intensity and rhythm of the action scenes.
weaken.
The processing of a large number of CG lenses not only liberates the camera, but also creates an unrealistic feeling in the characters' movements. It feels like Xu's films are becoming more and more animated.
At the content level, due to the priority pursuit of pictures and visual stunts, characterization has taken a back seat. In the film, the actors are just pieces of plasticine, allowed to be kneaded and tossed by the director, and the actors have no moving performances.
, without creating a connotative image, it lacks the power to move people's hearts.
This is undoubtedly a major loss for a lineup that includes best actors and actresses. The overall score is 7 points, so you can watch it, but it’s best not to have expectations.”
"Beijing Daily" had some different opinions. As a media close to Li Hyuk, the newspaper still praised the film: "'Detective Dee: Dragon King of the Dragon King' cannot be said to be a classic. There are indeed many criticisms, but it can still be regarded as a masterpiece of the film industry."
A commercial variety.
The most valuable thing about it is that it restored Xu's young and crazy heart. After the battle in "The Dragon King of the Dragon King", the grand blueprint of Tsui Hark's "Detective Dee" series has emerged, which is about martial arts, detective and fantasy.
Within the framework of three elements, relying on the cutting-edge film industry, a series of detective martial arts films will embark on an oriental fantasy journey.
More importantly, Xu Laoguai has found the most suitable actor for Di Renjie. The 22-year-old Li He makes this film go further on the road to series. What is certain is that as long as the original cast is maintained,
With its lineup, the Detective Dee series will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated movies by audiences every year."
There was a lot of discussion in the media, and the fans were equally noisy. Based on Li Hyuk's huge fan base and the film's good viewing experience, most viewers still gave it favorable reviews.
According to statistics from a professional theater survey company, 71% of the audience gave the film an A+ rating, and only about 9% gave the film the lowest F- rating. Among commercial movies, this audience
The reputation is pretty good.

When a movie is a box office hit, of course the investors have to hold a celebration party. Huayi Brothers and Huali Film and Television jointly held a celebration party to celebrate the movie's box office hit.
As the leading actor of this drama, Li Hyuk naturally received a lot of attention, and there were many people who came to congratulate and say hello. Qian Duoduo was wearing a small dress, and when she was not in power, she temporarily acted as Li Hyuk's female companion, and at the same time gave Li Hyuk
He introduced various industry leaders who came to attend the celebration party.
"This is Huayi CEO Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei." Qian Duoduo introduced to Li He.
Li He shook hands with the two bosses politely: "Hello..."
"You are young and promising. When I was your age, I only knew how to brag and chat with women." Mr. Xiao Wang said. Compared with the stable old Mr. Wang, Mr. Xiao Wang is more unrestrained.
For your identity, most people have to give you some face.
"You are so polite, Mr. Wang. Otherwise, I would not be where I am today." Li He said modestly.
"Well said, people should know how to be grateful. Speaking of which, I also advocated for you to star in this movie. Now it seems to be a correct decision." Mr. Xiao Wang's tone is not lacking in arrogance. Perhaps in his opinion, even if it is already
Lee Hyuk, who is an A-list star, is still a little guy.
Mr. Wang interjected: "How are you talking? This is Li He."
"I'm sorry, I'm so happy today." Mr. Wang apologized on the surface, but in fact he didn't mean to apologize at all.
Mr. Wang smiled at Li He and said, "My brother is like this, I hope you don't mind."
"It doesn't matter. Mr. Xiao Wang has a straightforward personality and is well known in the industry." Li He smiled with a hidden knife. The subtext of this sentence was that Mr. Wang was uneducated.
"You..." Mr. Xiao Wang was certainly not an idiot. Just as he was about to teach Li He a lesson, Mr. Wang stopped him.
"I'm sorry, my brother drank too much. Xiao Wang, do you want to sober up?"
Due to his brother's authority, Mr. Wang did not have an attack in the end and went to the bathroom to sober up.
After another false relationship with Mr. Wang, Li He and Qian Duoduo said goodbye and left to go somewhere else.
"I can't tell that this little Wang is far worse than Mr. Wang." Qian Duoduo said.
Li He shook his head: "You are wrong, both of them are not simple."
"Oh? What should I say?"
Li He smiled and said: "Huayi is the first privately-owned entertainment company to be listed in China. Although it has become weaker in recent years, there is no doubt about its strength. Most of the entertainment industry is composed of people from the Huayi Gang. As the two brothers at the helm, it is natural for them to
They can't be fools, they were just acting for me."
"Why?" Although Qian Duoduo has been working in the entertainment industry for several years, after all, he is not deeply involved in upper-level affairs and does not understand much.
"It's very simple," Li He smiled mysteriously: "Because my contract with Huali Film and Television is about to expire."
