"After "The Wind", there are no more legends in the world. On July 19, the spy blockbuster "The Wind" officially met with the national audience, completely detonating the 2007 summer schedule, and the box office on the first day exceeded 14 million yuan!"
"The billion-dollar director once again took action, spending hundreds of millions to create the country's first espionage blockbuster. It earned a super high box office of 14.2 million on the first day of release, and strongly won the box office championship on that day!"
""The Wind" has successively set zero opening and first-day box office records for domestic films in the summer season. Packaged as a commercial blockbuster, the film also contains the main theme of promoting the Chinese spirit and commemorating the revolutionary martyrs. It not only satisfies the audience's needs to watch blockbusters, but also
It means that contemporary filmmakers pay tribute to the pioneers!"
""The Wind" has sentiment, story, characters, wonderful performances, and a super high box office. It is a movie that perfectly combines business and art."
"A review of the box office on the 19th. Tang An and "The Wind" powerfully topped the single-day box office championship. The Autobots who were previously rampaging in the country were ruthlessly crushed, and the single-day box office fell by 20% again.
It ranked second with 6.6 million, and the action blockbuster "A Better Man" starring new-generation idol Xie Tingfeng and mainland kung fu star Wu Jing was greatly affected, with only 1.8 million box office in a single day."
"With its suspenseful story, touching emotions, and passionate sacrifice, after watching "The Wind" we are moved by those people with lofty ideals who silently shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the sake of resisting Japan over the years!"
...
"Eat, stop watching the news!"
He waited until almost 1 o'clock in the morning to go to bed, and got up at 6:30 in the morning. Looking at Tang An's haggard face, Xu Manyun felt a little distressed.
"I have to watch it. I have to always pay attention to the direction of the media and the audience. This is no better than last year. There are basically no decent opponents. If I'm not careful, this summer's championship will be taken away by "Transformers"!"
Tang An sighed and continued, "Not only is the summer champion, but the annual box office champion may also be taken away by a Hollywood movie!"
Xu Manyun was surprised and said, "Probably not. Bernard's "The Proposal" has such a luxurious lineup. Chen Kexin is considered to be a very capable director among Xiangjiang directors, and Cheng Xiaodong is also the action director!"
Tang An shook his head, "That's just the way it is with "The Proposal". The cast and crew are pretty good and top-notch in every aspect. However, Chen Kexin is still more suitable for making feature films. Even if the plot of this kind of costume film is simple, it won't be a problem. I'm afraid it won't work."
If it’s too heavy, the big war scene won’t satisfy the audience enough!”
Xu Manyun was thoughtful, and then asked, "Isn't "The Wind" the same? It's too realistic and violent!"
"The most important thing in a spy movie is an exciting plot. This is the most important thing. And Chen Kexin can't compare with me. He has no box office appeal in the mainland!"
Just like an ordinary director, if everyone around him is saying that his films are rubbish, then most people will definitely not watch them.
If a film by a great director like Zhang Yimou is criticized, it will earn more than 100 million at the box office!
"We must continue to follow up on publicity. If the money is not enough, we will add more. You should pay attention to supervising the movement of funds!" Tang An warned.
"I won't be back for the next few days. It takes time to go back and forth every day. In two days, I have to go to Tianjing. The district government of Jiefang Street, where the location shooting was, invited us to hold an event."
After dinner, Tang An immediately went to meet the crew and held meetings all over the capital.
Roadshows are necessary for every movie, not just to sell the box office of that one show.
It can attract reporters and allow the audience to have close contact with celebrities, and then they will definitely show off among their circle of friends, which can be regarded as indirectly expanding their influence.
Another thing is, let other audiences see you working so hard to promote it and see such a warm atmosphere at the scene. Some audiences who have not seen the movie will definitely be curious about what kind of movie makes the audience so enthusiastic.
As word-of-mouth slowly fermented, the crew worked hard to promote it, and the 10 million in promotional expenses were not wasted, the box office trend was very good, and the response among the audience became more and more enthusiastic.
"As a somewhat sentimental person, when I first heard about the movie "The Wind" I thought it was a more romantic movie, but the previous publicity looked very bloody. This difference always made me undecided, and in the end I decided
I decided to go to the cinema and see it for myself.”
"But after I watched it, when I felt the silent atmosphere in the cinema, I knew what this movie was trying to tell us."
"It's not to listen to the "rumours", but to feel the kind of pursuit and persistence of faith that people had in the war years. The power of faith is not something that contemporary people who lack thinking in peace times can understand. The shock and excitement it brings to me
There are so many sighs, and the delicate emotions intertwined and entangled with ethnicity, belief, ambiguity, and hatred are vividly expressed. The brilliance of human nature is magnified infinitely, and finally threads the needle and enters Li Ningyu's plain cheongsam."
...
"After watching the whole movie, the Japanese wanted to find out the old ghost, but the Communists never thought about how to escape and clear their suspicions. They never thought about it from the beginning. Their only goal is to pass on the information.
Escape is just a way to convey information, this spirit is shocking from the heart!"
"This film emphasizes one thing. Intelligence is more important than life. It goes round and round, I report you, you report me, and the Japanese people get involved. I also die and have a serious injury, but in the end the information is sent out.
Got it!"
Is intelligence more important than life? This topic has also attracted a lot of attention. Some people think that life is the most important. Only by saving your life can you continue to lurk inside the enemy and steal more intelligence.
Some people think that intelligence is the most important. A wrong piece of intelligence will lead to the failure of the entire operation and more people will die!
In short, it is a choice between two people's lives and the failure of the action.
Tang An, who was promoting at a movie theater in Beijing, was also asked this question.
He wrote the script, and he has considered all aspects of it in a few months!
Facing dozens of reporters and hundreds of spectators, Tang An spoke calmly about this controversial topic.
"The punishment is cruel, bloody, violent and terrible, and the loss of life is also terrible.
But even in purgatory, in order to seek national liberation, as long as the information can be passed on, there is no fear of death. Countless revolutionary pioneers have lost their lives for national liberation. I believe they are the same when faced with choices. It is precisely because
It is the strong will of the Chinese nation that gave rise to today’s New China.”
"It's like the sincere and simple monologue at the end of the film: When the nation is surviving or dying, our generation has no shirking responsibility. This is the voice of our ancestors!"
As soon as Tang An finished speaking, the audience was infected by his powerful words and applauded vigorously.
Although quite a few people will not dare to give up their lives when the time comes, it does not prevent them from admiring these people!
...
