As soon as the small spoilers and complaints about Li Qian's interview came out, it immediately became a hot search topic. Although the hot search was just a few words "Li Qian complained about the war scene in "The Taiping Wheel"", it was enough to attract attention.
Already.
"Li Qian's comments are so sharp. I haven't watched the movie yet, but just imagining it makes me angry. Huang Xiaoming plays the role of Ma Xiaoming. What on earth is this film about?"
"Hahahaha, although I don't think it will really look like Ma Xiaoguo, but a general with a sharp knife squad going deep behind enemy lines is really outrageous."
"Who is this Lei Yifang? Is he wearing a windbreaker, does he have a pair of guns, and does he have a toothpick in his mouth?"
"Damn it, your complaints are more ruthless than Li Qian's, but in the trailer it seems that Huang Xiaoming is really a cripple, and he is even using a cane on the battlefield."
"I bet, he's really as lame as Brother Ma. I don't think what Li Qian said is true."
"What I'm more concerned about is, will there be white pigeons in this film?"
"That's necessary. If it weren't for Pigeon, would it still be Wu Yusen's movie?"
"There was so much commotion on the battlefield that the pigeons were really mature before they dared to go there. They were not afraid of a cannonball being cooked on the spot."
"Perhaps when the soldiers were about to starve to death, a group of white doves came to sacrifice themselves and feed them?"
"Good guy, I won't watch Li Qian's new film unless you are asked to be the screenwriter."
...
"Peace Wheel" was still three days away from being released. Following Li Qian's few comments, it suddenly became a complaint all over the Internet.
The crippled Guo Army general Huang Xiaoming, as a general, led a sharp knife squad deep into the enemy's rear. Li Qian's words had a bit of Xiao Ma Ge's demeanor, and the audience associated the two together.
Another major symbol of Wu Yusen, the white pigeon, has also been made fun of by netizens. Although I don’t know if there will be white pigeons in "The Taiping Wheel", but they have appeared in "Red Cliff", which does not prevent everyone from imagining and complaining.
Not to mention the public, after the crew met, during the rare break, Tong Liya almost laughed out loud when she looked at the imaginary scenes and complaints made by netizens online.
"This is too much of a joke. "The Wheel" will become a laughing stock before it is released."
"I'm not wrong. A lame general who takes the lead in charging deep behind enemy lines is no worse than Brother Ma." Li Qian spread his hands. Although he was complaining, he didn't make up lies.
"Now everyone is discussing Wu Yusen's filming of Brother Xiao Ming as Brother Ma in the Republic of China, and the white pigeon...Pfft...these people really thought of it..." Tong Liya couldn't bear it as she said it
Stopped laughing.
Chen Kun and the others were also reading the news, with suppressed smiles on their faces.
"What happened to Brother Ma in the Republic of China? Besides, "The Wheel" is getting more and more popular now. He, Wu Yusen, has to thank me for helping him promote it for free." Li Qian said with a smile.
What does this mean? In the TV series, the Eighth Route Army was sent to live in a villa and the field nurses wore high heels. In comparison, "The Wheel" is already quite good.
"Thank you still?"
Tong Liya was full of slander. Although Wu Yusen criticized Li Qian, Tong Liya was not unhappy and wanted to laugh.
"I guess Wu Yusen is almost furious with you now. I don't know how he will fight you later."
"I want to know too." Li Qian smiled.
...
Of course Wu Yusen was furious. For a great international director, when had such a thing happened to him?
Even though he was said a few irritating words, no one criticized him directly, and no one like Li Qian said that he was a poor student who failed the exam, but he insisted on educating a top student with perfect scores.
A poor student who fails the exam is not much different from being humiliated.
Moreover, Li Qian was so unruly that he even revealed spoilers and deliberately misled the audience.
To stab him in the back is tantamount to a sneak attack on an old comrade who will be 69 next year!
Just when Wu Yusen was thinking hard about how to respond for several hours, he checked the Internet again and found that not only the media reported Li Qian's complaints, but also many movie fans also complained.
Moreover, not only did he complain, he also gave full play to his own imagination and began to make things out of nothing!
Seeing this situation, Wu Yusen stood up with a bang. Soon, he took out his mobile phone and dialed.
Even though he is just a director and not a professional in marketing, he still realizes that something is wrong. The continuous complaints from netizens who are making noises on the Internet may affect the official release in three days.
...
Huayang Media, Huang Zhongjun hung up the call from Wu Yusen with a speechless expression.
"What do you think Wu Yusen is doing when he's so full and full that he messes with Li Qian?"
With a slap on the table, Huang Zhongjun really convinced these pig teammates. Faced with the explosive reputation and box office of "Return to Youth", they should be more careful and try not to make any negative news.
Otherwise, facing such a powerful opponent, it would be a fool's errand to collapse here first.
Even Huang Zhonglei, who hates Li Qian, is a little unhappy, "He thought this was ten years ago, and Han Sanping would have to support him!"
Complaining each other to create topics is itself a form of publicity, but that is only when the creators are of equal strength, so fans from both sides can argue without a win or lose, so there is no harm in it.
It would have been fine for the international director Wu Yusen ten years ago, but now when he faces Li Qian, he will be trashed by Li Qian's fans in a day, which will in turn affect the film.
After complaining for a while about Wu Yusen's overestimation of his abilities, Huang Zhongjun shook his head and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, let's get the publicity department started. The film "The Wheel" needs to make some money, otherwise all the hard work will be in vain."
Huang Zhonglei could only quickly wipe Wu Yusen's butt.
...
The complaints online, with the public relations teams of Huayang and Lay's taking the stage, did not intensify or spread completely.
However, the complaints haven't stopped, but they haven't gotten serious.
Now Wu Yusen doesn't dare to quarrel with Li Qian anymore. At least he has calmed down in the three days before the release. If he wants to quarrel, he has to wait for the movie to be released. At that time, the facts are in front of him, and no one can make up plots out of thin air to complain about.
he.
In addition to the complaints from netizens about "Tai Ping Wheel", the Internet also focused on the things Li Qian told during the road show about the war to resist the United States and aid Korea, which also aroused a great response.
"Li Qian is so awesome. He filmed a short war scene and actually understood the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in such detail. Big maneuvers, big ambushes, big insertions, big detours, big sieges. These tactics are awesome at first glance. Who do I think?
You dare to say that he blindly took pictures randomly!"
"I just said that Li Qian's photos were fine. I forgot that last year it was not often reported that he would interview veterans of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and go to the military museum to find information. It would definitely be quite rigorous."
"I always thought it was a human sea tactic, but I finally understood it after hearing what Li Qian said. It turns out that this so-called human sea is just an illusion caused by the three-three system tactic."
"The three-by-three system is not as simple as it sounds. The squad leader's order must be transmitted to the ears of the three combat groups, and the distance must be maintained to ensure that the enemy's shells do not cause more than three casualties at most.
This is much more complicated than what was shot in Li Qian's movie. In fact, the movie was shot blindly, because there is no way a complete three-person combat team can be accommodated in one shot at the same time. Even in the medium shot, there is no room for 27 people in the shot.
The battle group in "Return to Youth" only has a formation that looks like a three-by-three system, and the rest is just for good looks."
"Look at the picture above for yourself.JPG. On the mountainside, several attack groups in the front are kept at about the same distance, forming a triangle. Behind the left is a mortar group, carrying a 60-mm mortar to provide direct fire support. In the middle is the command group
, use the telescope to direct the battle in the blind spot area where the enemy directs fire. The two people in the red circle on the right are the sniper team, but they do not have sniper rifles. They use rifles to shoot accurately at the enemy on the top of the mountain. The priority is the commander, who focuses on firepower.
Medical soldiers, and finally ordinary soldiers!"
"Actually, the three-by-three system is just one of the six tactical principles. The others include two sides, three fierces, three situations and three ways of playing, four fast and one slow, four groups and one team. War is not that simple, it is much more complicated.
Already."

More and more military fans are beginning to educate movie fans about the tactics of the Neighbor Army and the Zhiyuan Army. These originally "boring" things have become more interesting to the audience with the popularity of "Return to Youth".
As a result, more and more stories and details of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea were reported by the media.
The deeds of various martyrs, including blocking machine gun holes and blowing up bunkers with their passionate bodies, as well as some classic battles, have spread throughout the Internet.
Some of these people and events cannot even be made up in novels. In addition, the audience now has no resistance to the promotion of these deeds. On the contrary, it has sparked heated discussions.
"Holy shit, is it really that powerful? The sniper played by Zhang Yi is the prototype of Zhang Taofang. He killed more than 200 enemies with just a few hundred bullets. It's even more outrageous than playing CF!"
"That's nothing. That Liu Ziguang is the most embarrassing one. He single-handedly captured 63 enemies by himself. He was also the Royal British Army. None of the military novels written by Singularity are written like this."
"Royal Army... Don't Western armies always surrender to save their lives when fighting wars? This is the case with the French army. They are used to surrendering."
"After reading these deeds and battles, I found that the Zhiyuan Army is really strong. I don't know who misled us, but I know that people use tactics!"
"There are also tragic moments. At the Battle of Changjin Lake, the temperature was -40 degrees, and three companies of ice sculptures froze out. In "Rejuvenation", only one was filmed. It was so miserable, and they were frozen into ice sculptures while they were alive."
"When I think of that scene, I have the urge to cry. How can there be peace in the years? It's just that the predecessors are carrying forward with heavy burdens."
...
On the Internet, everyone's patriotic enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, and the War to Resist America and Aid Korea has become a very hot topic.
Although some people came out to refute that these "outrageous" heroic deeds were all made up by the government. The reason was that they were unreasonable and impossible to achieve.
There are quite a few people, especially on certain websites and forums, and they have started heated debates with netizens.
There are also some public intellectuals and self-media who come out to criticize the government's propaganda and refute the actual authenticity of those heroic figures.
Anyway, in the words of these people, those shocking people and things are unreasonable and fake. The Zhiyuan Army is not that powerful and is built on human lives.
On the one hand, he belittled the Zhiyuan Army, and on the other hand, he began to brag about the strength of the American Army. From firepower, equipment, logistics to the fact that Westerners are stronger, he found a lot of arguments.
The debate on the Internet is very fierce, but gradually it becomes untenable.
Wu Yusen, who had been watching this battle, did not dare to speak out. In fact, no director dared to say that the war scenes were not well shot, unrealistic, or unreasonable.
However, there are all kinds of ghosts, and internally, some people still disagree with what Li Qian took.
Guan Hu, who had debated with Li Qian at the previous Harper's Bazaar Charity Night, but was defeated by Li Qian and was humiliated, was now sulking.
Originally, he had just finished watching the movie, and he had too many negative things to say about the scenes in it about fighting against the Japanese and aiding Korea, but he was concerned about Li Qian's status and never dared to say anything.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yusen started spraying first, which gave Guan Hu some confidence. Anyway, there was a big director watching in front of him.
However, just when he organized his words and prepared to say a few words about his thoughts at the next event, the commotion on the Internet became louder and louder, and it became what it is now.
It was obviously not a wise choice to show up at this time, so Guan Hu could only stop his activities and became sulky in his heart.

"Rejuvenation" is still making great strides in theaters. On the past Monday, which was the first working day, the decline was only 30%, and it still scored a super high box office of 1.4 in a single day.
After five days of release, the total box office has reached 873 million.
Breaking 800 million in five days and breaking 100 million in five consecutive days is also a new record for Chinese-language films. Every day is a new record.
On Tuesday, although many theaters canceled the Tuesday half-price day for popular schedules and only restored Tuesday half-price days when business was slow, but with the support of strong word-of-mouth, "Rejuvenation" still sold 4 million more in a single day than on Monday.
Six days after its release, the total box office has exceeded the billion mark, reaching 1.017 billion.
The fastest to break one billion, six consecutive days to break 100 million, and several more records.
On Wednesday, due to the heated discussions over the past two days about the war to resist the United States and aid Korea, CCTV temporarily made a special feature on "Returning to Youth", which occupied 100 seconds of prime time on the news network.
Starting from the War to Resist the Japanese and Aid Korea, Mushroom Eggs, and then the women's volleyball team defeated the Japanese Witches of Japan, the resumption of the college entrance examination, the return of Hong Kong to raise the national flag, the 2008 Olympics, and the 2009 70th anniversary military parade, all these exciting scenes took place.
This is a temporary topic. Originally, the notice above was to give "Rejuvenation" about one and a half minutes to do a special report on Saturday.
In fact, with the current popularity of the movie, being listed on Xinwen Network is just the icing on the cake. Even if it is not listed, it will not lose much at the box office.
However, this is indeed a very clear signal, representing official recognition of Li Qian.
In China, official recognition is more important than anything else. Being on the News Network alone is enough to make countless directors envious.
Since "Assembly" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine", it seems that no movie has had a separate special feature. As for all the movies in popular schedules, there are more appearances together.
...
Just when the news broadcast was broadcast in the evening, the Mei Lanfang Grand Theater located in the West Second Ring Road of Beijing was also bustling with stars.
The epic masterpiece "Oriental Titanic" directed by the famous international director Wu Yusen and co-starring Chinese, Japanese and Korean stars such as Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Nagasawa Masami, Song Huiqiao, etc. held its premiere here.
It seems a little familiar...
A few years ago, there was also an epic movie that brought together stars from China, Japan and South Korea, took several years to create, and cost hundreds of millions.
However, compared to the performance back then, the premiere of "Tai Ping Huan" was a bit shabby.
Of course, it's only relative, it's still like a blockbuster movie.
Looking at the premiere, Wu Yusen remembered that back then, the battle was much stronger than this.
The gap is a bit big, which makes the ambitious Wu Yusen a little unhappy.
However, a day later, when the first-day box office came out in the early hours of Friday morning, Wu Yusen couldn't help laughing anymore.
The box office of "Peace Wheel" on the first day was only 20 million, which was not even as good as the youth film "The Year in a Hurry" which made 30 million on the first day.
With an investment of several hundred million and a cycle of several years, big stars from several countries have moved to grandma's house.
Although "Return to Youth" faces competition from new films, it has just been on the Xinwen Network and its reputation has already exploded. It still received a super high box office of 120 million on Thursday, which is higher than the two new films combined.
