Tang An left Ninghang and returned to the capital the next day.
And what he said in subsequent interviews with reporters was also reported. Combined with Zheng Zhiwei's words, after some modifications, it became a confrontation between the two.
Originally, basically no one would care about what Zheng Zhiwei said. Every year, various people comment on the domestic film industry.
And he, Zheng Zhiwei, is not a great cultural relic, so who would care about his nonsense.
However, Tang An's response gradually heated up the topic and triggered some discussions on mainland movies and Hong Kong movies.
However, these are all covered up by the news of Feng Xiaogang's new film. The gossip is not as attractive as Feng Xiaogang's new film.
What's more, this time it's a war movie.
Forget about war movies, this is a modern war movie!
When it first broke, the public still didn't believe it, just like the news about Tang An's spy movie.
As the media interviewed Feng Xiaogang again, after repeated confirmations, the audience was half-convinced.
Spy movies and modern war movies, Huayi is going to make two of the most unpopular movies one after another, which suddenly attracted wider attention.
Most people think that it must be a requirement from above to make a movie with the main theme.
As a result, various speculations arose, including talk of some country officially intervening in the film industry and imposing industry controls.
However, as the Lunar New Year season begins, everyone’s attention shifts to the movie market.
The Hollywood crime movie "Miami Vice" took the lead, attracting the attention of a considerable number of movie fans as soon as it was released, and the media also reprinted it frantically.
Of course it's not because the movie is so good... Actually, it's not wrong to say it's good.
In the movie, Gong Li staged a passionate bathroom scene with a Hollywood actor, and went out naked with the actor.
The lower body cannot be seen, but the upper part is indeed exposed, and there are more than one exposed.
There are several frontal exposure shots, with three-quarters of the entire right side exposed, and the exposed point is clearly visible.
There is also one with the whole wave exposed from the side, which is also visible at a glance. It can be confirmed that it is not a double, and the face is also exposed.
Therefore, the box office of "Miami Vice", which only had a box office of about 1 million on the first day, soared in the subsequent period. By the time "Ink Attack" was released on November 23, after 22 days of release, the total box office had reached nearly 30 million.
Sure enough, there is a selling point!
Tang An also went to watch one because it was different on the big screen and on the computer.
Of course, I didn't go alone.
However, the costume action blockbuster "Ink Attack" starring Andy Lau failed to continue the law that costume films are bound to be a hit, and only received 4 million at the box office on the first day.
""Ink Attack" was a hit at the box office on its first day, with good word-of-mouth success and a box office of 4 million on its first day!" This was the news headline that day.
However, buying the media could not save the box office, which was 21 million in the four days of the first weekend.
The box office grossed less than RMB 30 million within seven days of release. "Yun Shui Yao" will be released on December 1st.
The audience's reputation for this theme movie was unexpectedly good, with a three-day box office of 7.2 million in the first weekend. The box office was still strong in the second week, with 18.7 million, knocking out the period blockbuster "Ink Attack".
On December 14th, this year's highlight, "The City of Golden Armor" will be released simultaneously around the world.
Of course Tang An was also invited to attend the premiere. In fact, Tang An has been to every premiere of a slightly famous movie since the Lunar New Year holiday.
The feeling of actually watching this movie on the big screen is unprecedented.
In this era, at least it is an unparalleled shock to the domestic audience!
People who haven't seen Zhang Yimou's movies on the big screen will never understand why he is so great.
To put it simply, in the first few days after his film is released, there will always be a queue during prime time in the evening, at least in nearly half of the theaters across the country.
His films never need to be previewed, and theater chains give him the best locations, the best halls, and the best screenings with their eyes closed.
Moreover, many viewers who do not watch two movies in a year, even those in third-tier small cities, will spontaneously go to the cinema at this time, and their whole families will go out together.
They don't care what others say, even if they hype other movies, they only watch Zhang Yimou's movies.
For many viewers, watching movies means watching Zhang Yimou's movies.
In terms of ability to control big scenes, no one will surpass Zhang Yimou's level after 20 years.
People's Liberation Army, group performance, female students from various universities (playing the role of palace maids)
Nearly 10,000 people were employed, and there were almost no special effects shots in the entire film, which was all shot live.
In the final battle, the chrysanthemums on the ground were all real, and the crew used a lot of people to put them there.
In ancient times, directing thousands of people to fight was not an easy task, let alone filming.
There are two armies, black and yellow. The golden armored army attacks with guns, and the black armored army defends with shields.
Although there were only a few thousand people, the effect was unparalleled and shocking.
Ten thousand people, boundless...
Like two torrents, the fighting sounds of the black and yellow armies covered the entire premiere scene.
Jay Chou failed in his rebellion and was arrested, while Chow Runfa sat down to drink again.
The eunuchs and maids sang "Ode to Taihe" in unison
Feng Zhaoxiang, the light of the sun and moon, rising from the four seas, opening up territory, being benevolent, wise and trustworthy, loyal to etiquette, righteousness and loyalty, honest and virtuous, is one of the saint kings. He inherits the way of heaven and lives long and prosperous, and fulfills the destiny of heaven to transform all nations.
Movie is over!
Watching it on the big screen with your own eyes, the big scenes alone are even better than later war movies such as "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea".
It's a pity that ten or eight years later, when Zhang Yimou's films were mentioned, they were considered bad films.
After the movie was screened, both the film workers in the front row and the audience at the back were all shocked beyond measure.
"As expected of Zhang Yimou!" Xu Manyun next to him couldn't help but praise.
"This was taken while preparing for the Olympics. The national master's name is not for nothing. The setting, framing, and photography are already among the best in Asia!"
"It's a pity that the plot is still an old problem!"
"You said that the plots of his movies in the 1980s and 1990s were fine, but why did he become a weak point when he made a costume blockbuster?" Xu Manyun asked puzzledly.
Tang An thought for a while and said, "There are very few directors who can do both at the same level, let alone do both. This is why the plots of Hollywood blockbusters are getting simpler and simpler, and there must be choices.
"
All Xu Manyun was thinking was, "Can you achieve this effect now?"
"Can't do it!"
Tang An answered simply, "I don't have the ability yet. If I have to take care of the big scene, it will only get worse!"
"Unless we reduce the big scenes and replace them with close-ups of local war scenes!"
Chen Kexin and Li Renggang did a good job in this regard, but the former's "Report of Vocational Name" was too heavy, and the latter changed history beyond recognition, which is a pity.
In the early morning of the 15th, the first-day box office of "The City of Gold" was also released.
15 million!
It started showing at 7pm on the 14th, with a box office of 15 million in 5 hours.
96 million in four days during the first weekend, and 81 million in three days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
