A qualified commercial film director trained by Star Director Studio. Although he was highly sought after after leaving, he still felt unhappy in terms of business.
After all, I have become accustomed to the style of Starry Sky Director Studio, and it is still a bit awkward to adapt to the style of other film and television companies.
Of course, their abilities are there. Although they are dissatisfied with the roughness of the script by their partners, the quality of the films produced are all above the acceptable level.
Otherwise, if you really make random shots, don't expect to have a box office of hundreds of millions.
The "Kung Fu Miracle" series of movies is the flagship of Star Director Studio, and it is natural to strive for excellence. At the same time, it has also slowed down the release speed and frequency of the series of movies.
At this time, Star Director Studio opened up a new film type, that is, films extended by songs.
The first film is "The Wind Rises" to commemorate college graduation. It can be regarded as a campus inspirational film that resonates with people.
Then there was the movie of the same name adapted from the patriotic song "Chi Ling" to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which also achieved great success.
The mainland box office of 1.5 billion is the best proof.
Unexpectedly, because "Chi Ling" has a large action component, it has achieved a certain amount of box office revenue in Southeast Asia and even Japan and South Korea.
No one expected that the reputation and response in Xiaoli’s country would be quite good?
It can only be said that the brain circuit of Xiaoli is extraordinary. As long as the result is good, Wu Dong is too lazy to waste energy on random guesses and analyses.
Some of the more local things are not truly integrated into it, and some emotions are difficult to understand.
But in this way, those classic songs with storylines suddenly became popular.
For example, "Fairy Tale", which was extremely popular in 2005, has been adapted by other film and television companies, and a movie of the same name was filmed as quickly as possible, with a good box office revenue of more than 50 million.
Don’t think that the box office performance of more than 50 million yuan is poor!
As far as Wu Dong knows, the total cost of filming "Fairy Tale" by the film and television company that obtained the adaptation rights was less than 6 million.
More than 50 million yuan has been earned from the box office alone.
Together with other zero and total copyright income, I am afraid it can bring 20 million to 25 million in revenue to the film and television company that shoots the film.
This is very inspiring!
There are still very few qualified directors in China who can make commercial films.
The director of "Fairy Tale" was trained by Star Director Studio, so he was able to turn a film of the same name adapted from a popular song into a qualified commercial romance film, and reaped good profits.
Then, classic pop songs such as "Later" and "Fruits of Midsummer", as well as some domestic classic songs, also started film and television adaptations.
Speaking of which, when classic songs are adapted into movies, screenwriters can play a huge role, and most of the quality of the film is in the hands of screenwriters.
If not for the previous Starry Sky Director Studio, they had already produced the brilliant "The Wind Rises", as well as some other normal campus films, which set a benchmark for subsequent films of the same type.
There is budding love, out-of-bounds behavior, and all kinds of mischief, but the main theme is still learning, not those messy things.
This is normal campus life. I recall a campus full of youthful atmosphere and full of youth.
Like the three major cancerous plots of abortion, car accidents and traveling abroad in a youth campus movie, if someone were to film it again, they would definitely be criticized to death.
Anyway, campus life in China at this time is definitely not that exciting, and no one knows how it is abroad.
The benefits of setting a benchmark are reflected at this time.
There are film and television companies filming "My Deskmate" and "My Brother Who Lives Above Me." The plots will only incorporate elements that were popular on campus at that time or at the moment. If the filming is too outrageous, it may be a hit.
At this time, if the very popular "Those Years" in Wu Dong's memory were released, it would definitely not cause much sensation.
The plot and campus life there are not very similar to those in China.
In my memory, the reason why it became so popular is because there are no films of this type in China. It's as simple as that.
Of course, creating movies based on songs is not the main genre of Star Director Studio, it can only be regarded as a casual thing.
The real flagship genre of Starry Sky Director Studio, the series of action films created by Wu Dong himself, is the focus.
In particular, the "New Fist of Fury" trilogy based on the online novel "Fist of Fury" has placed considerable expectations on Wu Dong.
The "New Fist of Fury" trilogy carefully prepared and filmed by Star Director Studio has lived up to Wu Dong's attention.
After the first part was released, it caused quite a stir, and the domestic box office reached a level of nearly 200 million, which can be said to be a big hit.
Of course, the film deliberately targeted Chen Zhen's martial arts philosophy, which caused quite heated discussions and even abuse among movie fans.
After all, "Fist of Heroes" filmed by Li Zhengdong was too classic.
Regarding the controversy, Star Director Studio did not react, allowing fans to express their opinions.
Later, I was really annoyed by the fuss, so I only replied with three words on the official Weibo: Reasonable!
To be honest, many details in the classic action movie "Fist of Heroes" cannot withstand scrutiny.
For example, when a pig's trotter caused a riot in the Hongkou Dojo, all the gangsters and military policemen in the concession were killed that day?
The other is the final decisive battle. How could the dignified and supreme commander of the garrison even drive out the guards to fight with two masters of Chinese martial arts?
You know, not long after the September 18th Incident broke out, high-level military and political officials, led by a certain general from childhood, held a victory celebration in the Japanese Concession of Shanghai, and were directly blown up by the dead.
How long has it been since this happened?
As a high-ranking general in his youth, how could he not be afraid of death and still fight for his life with Chen Zhen?
Also, the time just doesn't match up.
It doesn't matter about Hong Kong movies, since they don't know much about history there anyway.
But it's different in mainland China. Because of the emphasis on history, the timeline issue in "Fist of Heroes" has long been complained about by fans.
In real history, when Huo Yuanjia died, the Qing Dynasty was not yet dead.
Anyway, all kinds of details simply cannot withstand scrutiny.
"New Fist of Fury" shot by Star Director Studio naturally pays more attention to details and handles all these obvious problems properly.
In addition, the fighting is exciting, and the martial arts theory debates in it are also very realistic, at least the fans think it makes sense.
The method used to solve the murder behind the scenes in the end is also relatively normal, at least it won't make the movie fans feel uncomfortable and tragic.
"New Fist of Fury" adheres to the style of movies produced by Star Director Studio, that is, the plot is smooth and refreshing.
When it's time to be ruthless, you will never be hesitant or hesitant, and the pig's trotters will be killed decisively and happily.
What movie fans talk about the most is Pig's Knuckle's interpretation of the Huo Family's Mizong Fist, as well as its astonishing power when used.
All in all, the first part of "New Fist of Fury" is off to a good start.
When we get to the second part, it will be the process of Pig's Feet assisting Huo Dongge and carrying forward the Jingwu Sect.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty had just ended, and the entire society was in a state of turmoil.
The Demonic City where Jingwu Sect is located is no exception. Powerful powers from all walks of life have emerged, hoping to take advantage of the chaotic situation to reshuffle the cards and get a piece of the big cake.
During this period, the figures of powerful martial arts figures from all walks of life were naturally indispensable.
At this time, Pigfoot, together with Chen Zhen and Huo Dongge, as well as the Jingwu Sect brothers, were dealing with the masters of the world who kept coming to challenge them, and at the same time, they were actively integrating into the surging world trend.
In particular, the process of dealing with challenges from various martial arts masters was quite exciting and exciting, and the audience couldn't take their eyes off the show and kept cheering.
During this period, the mainstream traditional boxing and kicking martial arts from the north and the south are all vividly displayed, which is quite exciting and beautiful.
At the same time, it also gave the audience a new understanding of traditional boxing and kicking martial arts.
It’s not that you can’t fight with traditional boxing and kicking martial arts, but it depends on the temper of the practitioner.
In the first part, Chen Zhen was so arrogant, but his performance in the second part was a little sluggish. He either tied with the visiting martial arts master or got beaten, and rarely won.
It is understandable that the enemies encountered in the first part were all external players.
What he pursues is actually the same as Chen Zhen, which is faster speed and strength, and what he strives for is physical fitness and a little bit of martial arts talent.
Obviously, Chen Zhen wins in this regard!
But when it comes to traditional martial arts practitioners from the inner and outer families who are successful in cultivation, the situation is completely different.
All traditional martial artists who have achieved mastery of cultivation are all experienced in combat.
Maybe they don't have enough vision and have a lot of work at hand, so their combat effectiveness is greatly affected, but their abilities are no joke.
They often have pretty powerful unique skills, and you will definitely get hurt if you get hit.
Especially the internal boxing warriors, Chen Zhen suffered a lot of hidden losses during the competition, but he was helpless.
At this time, the pig's feet performed quite well.
The Huojia Mizong Fist in one hand became more vicious and vicious the more he hit it, making it difficult for people to guard against it. It also caused many traditional martial arts masters who took the initiative to provoke him to suffer a lot of losses.
Of course, the pig's trotters did not encounter severe difficulties. In the end, they managed to resolve the troubles, and recalling it afterwards inevitably broke out in a cold sweat.
The most exciting part of the second movie is naturally the showdown between the heroes of the Fist of Fury and traditional martial arts masters.
The various traditional martial arts techniques made the audience dazzled and exclaimed in exclamation. In addition, there were many fierce battles between traditional martial arts masters and foreign masters, which made the audience subconsciously think that traditional martial arts is so powerful.
Among them, the most exciting part is the part where Pigfoot meets Li Shuwen, the great master of Bajiquan, and gets his guidance. It really feels like the excitement and exhilaration of Guo Daxia when he learned the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon"...
