Chapter 162 'A Woman's Court' with 12 million on the first day
"In that scene where Li Ningyu was going to report Gu Xiaomeng, the audience's focus would definitely be on Gu Xiaomeng, wondering if Gu Xiaomeng would die? How did Gu Xiaomeng excuse herself? All the focus was on Gu Xiaomeng.
.”
"But in this scene, you have to go through multiple levels of transformation from knowing the truth, to being surprised, angry, helpless, and intolerable. The level of Zou Xun's scene is a little less, only the guilt and the feeling of despairing of death in the end.
"
"Although this scene is about Zou Xun, the identity of the old ghost is not revealed, but it is you who drives the plot. Only if you perform this scene well can you truly suppress Zou Xun!"
"This film can at least get you a Best Actress nomination. Whether you can win the award depends on your performance!"
Tang An said firmly!
Originally, Zou Xun was more outstanding in the eyes of the audience in "The Wind", but in the eyes of the director and the judges of major film festivals, Li Binbin's performance surpassed Zou Xun's!
If Zou Xun played an 8-point role to an 8-point level, then Li Binbin played a 6-point role to an 8-point level.
Li Ningyu does not have an undercover identity as a fulcrum like Gu Xiaomeng, so in terms of emotional changes, Li Ningyu expresses emotions directly and has more room for development than Gu Xiaomeng.
Gu Xiaomeng is a member of the underground party. She is strong, brave and good at hiding. Therefore, her emotions must be contained and acted, restrained and not leaked. The layers will not be very clear.
...
Listening to Tang An's story, Li Binbin understood a little bit!
But she still didn't understand, "Then why don't you just increase Li Ningyu's role?"
"How do you add it? You think it's so easy!"
"Either weaken the presence of other people and turn the movie into a battle of wits and courage between you and Zou Xun!"
"Either add more scenes between you and the other three suspects and Takeda, but Gu Xiaomeng is the old ghost. I can't let the audience watch the intrigue between you and Zhang Hanyu, Yingda, Su Youpeng for a long time, and finally tell the audience,
You are not an old ghost, Zou Xun is, then the plot will fall apart!"
It's like watching a movie about solving a crime. The whole movie revolves around a certain suspect, but in the end, it suddenly turns around and the wrong person is mistaken. The culprit is someone else, leaving the audience confused!
"Okay, just think about it carefully, I believe you can perform well!"
After chatting for so long, the main creators such as Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Ziyi have already arrived on the red carpet.
"Let's go say hello!"
"Director Wang, Director Feng, I wish you a successful premiere and a box office hit!"
“I’d like to borrow Mr. Tang’s good words!”
Feng Xiaogang seems to be in a good mood, full of spring breeze and full of confidence
Tang An said hello to several actors again, "Hello, Mr. Ge, hello, Miss Zhang..."
"Hello, Mr. Tang!" Uncle Ge still has that iconic smile. Playing the emperor, it's good if the audience doesn't laugh!
This was the first time for Zhang Ziyi to meet Tang An, and she was very curious about this new billionaire director who specializes in making films with women as the absolute protagonists.
She said with a smile, "If I have the chance, I hope to cooperate more with Mr. Tang!"
After being polite, the reporters surrounded the crew. Tang An retreated to the back so as not to steal the limelight from others.
Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Ziyi were dealing with this reporter, but Tang An was eyeing Wang Xiaoming's head.
"Xiao Ming, why hasn't your hair grown yet?"
"I don't know either. My hair grows slowly. I guess it will be able to grow one centimeter in another month!" Huang Xiaoming touched his head, feeling helpless.
There's no way around it. You have to shave your head when filming a costume drama. Using a hood is too obvious, especially on the big screen.
TV dramas are shoddy and some people wear hoods, and even actresses are required to shave their heads when they want to play a nun.
The actress has long hair and looks like a birthday girl with a headband!
Not only Huang Xiaoming shaved, Wu Yanzu also shaved, but Uncle Ge didn't need to shave his scalp.
Zhang Ziyi even shaved off both eyebrows.
"If you don't grow up, I'm going to give you herbicides!" Tang An made a rare joke.
The current movie project has not yet been approved. Although the crew and staff are in place, the construction of the studio has not yet started. Tang An has not finished the script yet, and there is still time!
At 6:30, the premiere officially started, and Tang An was also sitting in the front row of the audience.
The host on the stage!@#￥%……&*+*#)!@))*after one call.
Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang also!@#￥%……&*+*&……%￥#@!*&#&)—one pass.
Then everyone, reporters, and viewers also #@￥#@￥#@&&@&#￥#...
Then the movie officially started!
In fact, it is an Oriental Hamlet that has gone astray.
In the original work, the queen and the prince have a real blood relationship between mother and son, but Feng Xiaogang adapted the queen into the prince's ex-girlfriend, who married his father and uncle successively.
This setting adds to the biggest contradiction in the film. The uncle, father, and prince all revolve around a woman.
In this way, the movie does not tell about the struggle for power, and does not see the turmoil in troubled times. What it sees is just a family ethics drama concealed in the background of the great turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
That's right, this is a bloody polyamorous movie with an extra princess.
Everyone knows that "Hamlet" is also called "The Revenge of the Prince".
In "The Night Banquet", the prince was completely reduced to a supporting role, always hiding behind a mask cowardly. He saw Wan'er become a queen, watched the blue bird die for him, and saw his enemy but could not take revenge.
In short, it should be renamed "A Woman's Court".
Uncle Ge willingly drank the poisoned wine, walked up to the throne, took off his crown, lay on the woman's phoenix robe and said, "How can I not drink the wine you toasted to me?"
This is simply a love story that moves the heavens and the earth and ghosts and gods. It is a love story for middle-aged men.
In the heart of this emperor, there was only that woman, who captivated the whole country and impressed her.
People laughed as soon as Uncle Ge opened his mouth, but when he fell on Zhang Ziyi's lap, Tang An could faintly hear sighs.
Everyone in the movie lives so sadly!
Of course, apart from the plot, it is not without its merits. The scenes are very beautiful, especially the opening scene where the 9-man team assassinates the prince and the series of fights in the bamboo garden caused the audience to exclaim.
"What do you think of the filming?" Li Binbin asked quietly when the movie was about to end.
"fine!"
Tang An added, "As a palace battle drama, it's quite good!"
Li Binbin leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Then do you think the box office will be higher than that of "Super Body"?"
"The box office on the first day is definitely higher than that of "Super Body". After all, the lineup is here and it is a costume blockbuster, but the total box office may not be!" Tang An said casually.
"Didn't you say the photo was good?"
"I said it's okay as a palace fight drama, but the audience goes to the cinema to watch a costume blockbuster because it's a big war scene. A palace battle drama would be better off watching a TV series!"
This is also a common problem in costume movies. They tell a simple story and shoot some exciting action scenes and war scenes, and the audience will buy it. What kind of emotions can they be fooled into playing!
Forget about playing with emotions, just mention the love and hatred between family and country, and embellish the characteristics of each character.
This is good, the emotional play is too thorough, the love triangle is considered good, the four corners and the five corners should not be too bloody.
Might as well just play with the eggs!
Although "The Golden Armor" also has a similar trend, at least it still has a big murder to watch. In the end, Jay Chou leads his troops into the palace, and his assholes are covered in chrysanthemums, which can barely be considered a big scene!
Coupled with the reputation of the national teacher, he directly received 290 million in the next three months!
As for "The Promise", in terms of the scene, it is better than "The Night Banquet", and Brother Chen Kai is more famous than Feng Dapao.
When the film ended, the applause from the audience was quite warm. After all, it was a premiere. No matter what, they were the first audience to watch the movie, so they gave me some face.
Feng Xiaogang was also very confident and stood up and bowed to the audience.
When the first-day box office reached 12 million, Feng Xiaogang became even more proud.
Tang An, who was about to threaten his position in Huayi, didn't take it seriously either!
