Chapter eight hundred and thirty first sad brother Chen Kai
Immediately after meeting the audience in the cinema, many viewers complained that they could not remember the movie after watching it.
"Hello Director Tang, I have watched "Operation Red Sea" twice, but I found that it is very different from your previous films.
Whether it is an inspirational comedy like "Mysterious Superstar", a science fiction blockbuster like "Interstellar", a spy movie like "The Wind", or a reality-themed movie like "The Chinese Partner", the characters are all very full.
of.
But the characters in "Operation Red Sea" are a bit stereotyped. After watching it, I couldn't picture any of the characters in my mind. Why was it such a failure in character creation this time?"
This is also a question that many viewers have. Basically, viewers over the age of 25 have grown up watching Tang An's movies. There are some weak characters, but even in "Shark Beach", the heroine has a growth process.
From an ordinary person going through layers of hardships and life dangers to finally fighting to the death with a shark, the character's state is fully demonstrated step by step in this process.
But "Operation Red Sea", if someone around you asks you if the film is wonderful? You will answer: wonderful!
If you ask me: Is it worth the price?
I would answer: worth it!
But if you ask me: Who is the protagonist of this film?
I would answer: eight warriors.
As for their names and what they did, I really can’t remember... Hmm
Tang An thought for a while and said with a slightly serious face, "Operation Red Sea shows a real war. We strive to let the audience see a more realistic side as much as possible."
Individuals are extremely insignificant to a war. Whether they are ordinary soldiers or special forces, in a real war, individuals are extremely small. They are only a small part of the war, just like a small part of a precision instrument.
A screw, and the King of Soldiers may be killed by an ordinary bullet at any time.
In fact, every member of the Jiaolong team is made of flesh and blood. Communications Corpsman Zhuang Yu initially felt that he was not a qualified member of the Jiaolong commando team. Even though he was a soldier who had received professional training and had experienced countless exercises or actual combat, facing a bloody battlefield
, there will also be moments of fear and timidity.
But after the war, he gradually grew up, and finally before he died, he held back his last breath and connected the communication device. I think this is a relatively fleshed-out character, but the movie is limited in time and cannot be too detailed.
Whether it is captain Yang Rui or sniper observer Li Dong, they are all members of Jiaolong. It is impossible for them to defeat a thousand. Only by working closely together and exerting the strength of the team can we achieve victory.
If someone charges, someone needs to cover him; if someone falls, someone needs to rescue him. In a real war scene, individuals appear extremely small.
They all have the same name: Hua** people.
Just like other soldiers across the country who are protecting us and our country at their respective posts, whether they are Zhao Qian, Sun Li, or Zhou Wu, King Zheng, they are all Chinese people!"
After a busy day, I ran around the capital, repeating the same things and saying the same words.
The movie has just been released, and there are few questions from the audience. In two days, when ordinary viewers, film critics and interested people have thoroughly studied the movie, there will be a lot of doubts and all kinds of ghosts and monsters will appear.
.
Another day passed. On July 3, "Operation Red Sea" grossed 340 million on the second day after its release. The total box office in two days was 650 million, still accounting for more than 80% of the market.
On the 3rd, Brother Chen Kai's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was also released. During the previous promotion, thanks to Lin Chiling and Wang Guang, the boat scene between a beautiful woman and a greasy middle-aged Mediterranean man attracted a lot of attention, and it received a high box office of 62 million on the first day.
The first-day figure of 62 million is already very high for an average movie, and it also refreshed Chen Kaige's personal best result.
However, in the face of "Operation Red Sea" with 310 million on the first day, this is a bit insufficient.
Although it was a personal best result, Brother Chen Kai was not happy at all at this time.
Even at this time, Brother Chen Kai's face was full of anger.
Looking at the news on the Internet, Brother Chen Kai felt an unknown fire in his heart that had nowhere to go. He kept it in his heart, and the expression on his face became even more ugly.
At this time, the news on the computer suddenly questioned whether "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed by him.
"After watching "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", I believe that Brother Chen Kai is not the real director of "Farewell My Concubine"!!!"
On a certain forum, the number of clicks and replies to a post with this title continued to soar in just a few hours.
I analyzed these two movies at length, and the meaning is the same as the title, saying that "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed by Chen Kaige and his father.
This topic has been mentioned frequently in recent years, and various revelations have been made. Every time Brother Chen Kai sees it, he feels angry in his heart.
Some people are even beginning to suspect that "Yellow Earth" is the work of Zhang Yimou, and what he said is true.
As for co-directing, Zhang Yimou had no background, and his victory was taken away by Chen Kai, who has a father who is a great director.
"That's ridiculous!"
Brother Chen Kai now wants to grab the other person and question him loudly, just because he and Zhang Yimou have rarely collaborated since then, and just because Zhang Yimou later made a movie with rural themes, so this movie became Zhang Yimou's?
And for "Farewell My Concubine", his father recruited the best team in China for [.], including the number one executive director in the Mainland, Zhang Jinzhan.
The executive director is usually considered an assistant director. In fact, strictly speaking, the executive director is also a director. He exists in a film crew filmed jointly by two or more directors, or under the name of the chief director. He has to shoot the same as the director, and he is not just a director.
Take some insignificant shots
It's just that now all the great executive directors have become directors themselves. If they don't work as producers, they have gradually become almost like assistant directors.
Almost all blockbusters at the beginning of this century were participated by Zhang Jinzhan, who was also a classmate of Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou.
"Farewell My Concubine", "Heroes", "The Golden Armor", "Lust, Caution", "Reporter" and the Hollywood movie "Kill Bill" also had the participation of Zhang Jinzhan.
The team his father hired and Zhang Jinzhan helped him a lot. However, it was a movie that he had worked hard and devoted himself to, and it was just said in a few words that it was made with his father's help.
The comments from netizens below also made Brother Chen Kai feel extremely dazzled.
For example: "At a time when film production was monopolized, being a director also required hard work. Haha, what a spectacle!"
There are also many comments re-arranging the plot of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain". Brother Chen Kai just wanted to curse after watching it, you know nothing about this movie!
Not only is it a website, but many viewers who have watched "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" and were very disappointed also joined in.
The first comment on Douban is: "Was "Farewell My Concubine" really shot by Brother Chen Kai?" It hangs very conspicuously.
Then faced with the reporter's criticism, Brother Chen Kai could only say with a fierce face: "The failure to film "Farewell My Concubine" has nothing to do with me, but to do with the current situation!"
Well, Optoelectronics is taking the blame again!
In the evening, Xinlang.com published a set of PR releases, releasing photos from the set of "Farewell My Concubine" that year. Brother Chen Kai personally took charge of the director, scolding Fang Qiu, and his youthful attitude was particularly high-spirited. The director's team hoped to use the pictures
Fight rumors with facts.
These photos were also quickly reposted, with countless people watching and commenting.
Brother Chen Kai was also helpless. How could he agree to use such a method for public relations and prove himself unless he had no choice?
Isn’t this the same as asking you to prove that you are yourself and that you are alive?
"That's ridiculous!"
However, Brother Chen Kai had to consider the box office of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", so he could only keep repeating the word "ridiculous".
In fact, it’s very sad when I think about it. A national master director used on-set photos from more than ten years ago to prove that his most awesome work was really shot by himself. The reason is because he has never shot another one.
