Actor he doesn't want to be a eunuch

Chapter 1228 Don't Let Your Poor Cousin Suffer

The box office on the first day was 520 million!
As a biographical film, this result is already very good.

But probably still feel a little regretful.

The combination of Qian Chen and Anxi has always been synonymous with the box office myth. From the earliest bad movie "A Chinese Ghost Story 4" created a record of 87 million, compared with the 1883 million Hong Kong dollar box office of the [-] version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", I don't know. how many times.

Since then, the two have basically never missed.

This time, it only got a box office of more than 500 million. Although this figure looks like dog food, it can't stand the possibility of losing money.

The total investment of this movie is 3000 million, which is not a big cost.

But if the box office is 500 million on the first day, it will only be 5000 million.

But Qian Chen didn't panic at all.

For this movie, he has already reserved 1000 million yuan for Guo Jia's special fund for movies.

Then the documentary channel and the six princesses planned to spend 2000 million to buy the TV broadcasting rights of the film.

In other words, the movie does not need a box office to return its capital.

His movie was custom-made, and the order placed by his second cousin would definitely not make his poor cousin suffer.

In any case, he has to be leveled.

However, the film "Li Qingzhao" is not only released in the mainland, but also released simultaneously around the world.

Qian Chen and An Qian's own popularity, and the help of their second cousin, made it easy for them to do this.

On January 1, the official account of "Li Qingzhao" stated that this film, which was simultaneously released in other regions of China and overseas, has achieved very good box office results worldwide.

As for how good it is, the official did not say, but it can be checked, it has been released for a few days, at least the box office on the first day can be checked.

As a classical poet who is good at describing daily life and psychological changes, Li Qingzhao is not only well-known in China, but also popular in the Western world. She is by far the most important Chinese female poet in the English-speaking world, and her works have gradually established their classic status.

Several authoritative anthologies of world literature have only selected Li Qingzhao and Li Yu in the section of Chinese poets.

But in the area covered by Chinese culture, it is needless to say.

However, some critics in the pot held the same point of view. Han culture researchers outside the pot believed that Li Qingzhao’s gender was magnified in the male-dominated literati circle at that time, which led to her works being interpreted too well. A more one-sided state: only emphasizing her weakness and expressing her love for her husband, which is in line with the miserable aspect of traditional female morality.And ignore her knowledgeable, ambitious sonorous rose side.

For example, Wang Zhuo's notes in the Song Dynasty are very typical. He not only praised her for "brilliant talent, approaching her predecessors, which is rare among literati and bureaucrats", "if a woman of this dynasty, she should be the first in reciting poetry", and commented on her "evening festival". Homeless."

Li Qingzhao's talent cannot be judged apart from gender and so-called fame.

For a time, people could not accept this kind of "unscrupulous" remarriage behavior, and even triggered an academic movement to deny remarriage and to avenge the shame of talented women.

These are undoubtedly very unfair to Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao is not the image of a woman who is fragile, lonely, lonely, and misses her husband all day long as described by scholars and literary critics in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Her personality is quite competitive.For example, Li Qingzhao commented on some important poets in the Northern Song Dynasty one by one in "Ci Lun", and there were even some criticisms, which can reflect Li Qingzhao's personality characteristics.

There were many famous female literati in various dynasties in China, including some female literati in Li Qingzhao's contemporaries.

It can be roughly divided into three categories, namely, singing girls, celebrities and boudoir literati.

However, Li Qingzhao cannot be classified into any of the above three categories.

Li Qingzhao is a rare outstanding literati with a clear sense of self-creation.

At that time, singing girls could write lyrics, and boudoir women or socialites in high society also had some works, but these were relatively accidental situations, not important things in their lives.Many ci works are often written as they are written, but they are destroyed afterwards. These female authors do not intend to let their works be seen by others.

A woman without talent is a virtue.

But Li Qingzhao is different. She regards literary creation as the most important thing in her life.

Although she has never said that she is a writer, she is very active in her own literary creation and is conscious of her identity as a creator.

Film critics outside the pot expressed their appreciation that Huaxia's new "Li Qingzhao" portrayed the image of this female writer in an objective and fair manner.

Actually, Qian Chen didn't think too much about this issue.

He is one of the screenwriters.

In his era, Li Qingzhao's image was still very individual, not what everyone knows now, basically a talented and loyal female image who loves and misses her husband Zhao Mingcheng deeply.

Therefore, when filming this movie, part of the script was revised.

The choice of works is also to choose those works that were confirmed to be Li Qingzhao 500 years ago, and to interpret Li Qingzhao's life on the basis of these works.

In the current collection of Li Qingzhao's works, there are many fake works, the purpose of which is to strengthen Li Qingzhao's image of a chaste woman.

But the movie directed by Qian Chen has no plans in this regard.

Even if he plays Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao plays his wife, in that case, the film will deviate from the original intention.

He is not afraid of someone calling him "black" Li Qingzhao.

Under normal values, the real Li Qingzhao is more charismatic.

As shown in the second half of his film, Li Qingzhao's will to live has not been depressed after experiencing a disaster of remarrying a gangster and being divorced, and his enthusiasm for poetry creation is even higher.After she was freed from her personal pain, she turned her attention to Guo Jia's major events. In May 1133, the court sent two officials to the Jin Dynasty.Li Qingzhao wrote a poem to see the two off with full of passion.In the poem, there is a sentence "I want to send blood and tears to the mountains and rivers, to sprinkle a piece of soil on Dongshan Mountain", which is contrary to the previous graceful style.

This is the sublimation of Li Qingzhao's life.

Ordinary audiences watched this movie, and what they saw was that Anxi was so beautiful and the music was so good.

However, professional cultural researchers can see the uniqueness of the film. From the perspective of culture and literature, this film is definitely a masterpiece.

It's a pity that whether it's the audience inside the pot or the audience outside the pot, they only pay more attention to Anxi's appearance and the beautiful soundtrack, and they can't see anything else at all.

In a sense, director Qian Chen undoubtedly failed.

It's just that his failure doesn't affect the box office success of "Li Qingzhao" all over the world.

The first-day box office of Xiangjiang and Wanwan both exceeded one million.

Considering that the film market in these two places has shrunk to the extreme, a million is already a good result.

The box office performance in Europe and the United States is better.

The main reason is that the music is really good. People over there are very fond of musical films, and many of them watch them as musical films.

For example, "Mamma Mia" premiered in London in 99. So far, the global box office has exceeded 40 billion US dollars. The 22 classic golden songs of the super group ABBA band run through the whole play.

"The Lion King," which premiered on Broadway in 97, has even more, with a box office of 80 billion US dollars.

Since the "Sissy's Wedding" concert toured the world, Qian Chen's status in the music circle has risen, higher than those of Lang Lang.

After all, one is the creator and the other is the user.

This time, the overseas promotion slogan of Qian Chen's "Li Qingzhao" is, "Sissi's Wedding" is a music chapter tailor-made by music master Mr. Qian Chen for his lover Sissi after a year.

What are you waiting for!

Go and listen now.

However, in the world, apart from Huaxia, the film with the greatest influence is Neon.

The film had a box office of 2.4 million yen on the first day of Neon, and scored a high score of 4.6 on the Neon Yahoo score. The audience also gave quite good comments in the word-of-mouth comments after the screening.

The first-day box office of the sci-fi movie "Parasite" released last month was only 3.4 million yen.

This comparison is very obvious.

What does this show?

It shows that Qian Chen and Anxi together have a great influence in Neon.

Although Nihong people hate Qian Chen very much—those who scored low scores are basically scolding Qian Chen himself—but for his movie, which can almost be called a music feast, even if they resisted in their hearts, they had no choice but to walk into it. to the cinema.

In fact, when the film was made and started to attract investment, many filmmakers outside the pot tried to buy out the distribution.

It's just that the prices given are generally lower. For example, for the copyright in North America, they actually paid 1 US dollars.The film studio of Nihong knew that Nihong people loved and hated Qian Chen, but they only paid [-] million yen.

Simply outrageous.

Qian Chen resolutely gave up selling out, chose to cooperate with Universal Pictures for overseas distribution, and then adopted the account-sharing model.

As the name suggests, account sharing means that the box office income of a film shown in other Guo Jia is divided according to the share, some are fixed ratios, and some are step-by-step ratios. Anyway, whether you earn more or less depends on the box office results.

Compared with Guonei, which only collected more than 600 million box office for the entire three days of New Year's Day, the total box office results on the first day overseas were 100 million Chinese dollars, of which Neon contributed 200 million.

Lose money?

Even if this movie is actually calculated according to the box office, there is no possibility of losing money.

On January 1th, when many people questioned the authenticity of "Li Qingzhao" overseas box office, the official made a statement.

And not just a single official.

Many officials are talking about this movie, some talking about history, some talking about culture, and some talking about cultural output.

The main reason is that the filming of this movie is not bad, otherwise the officials would not have the face to praise it even if they wanted to.

What is cultural export is not that you learn English, then go to English-speaking countries, and they talk generously about Nietzsche and Van Gogh in English on the podium.

It is to spread the cultural content with its own national and local characteristics to all over the world, so that more people can understand our own cultural style, so as not to demonize your nation, so as to identify with your products.

This "Li Qingzhao" has done just that.

But Qian Chen didn't have this kind of cognition, he never expected to achieve any cultural output through this movie.

I have never regarded any cultural output as my goal.

There is a saying in the ancient Chinese classic "Book of Rites·Qu Li": "If you hear the rites, you will learn, if you have not heard the rites, you will teach."

That is to say, if you are really good enough to be a teacher, students should come to you to learn, instead of you to promote.

Power is the last word.

Of course, if these crooked nuts can give him more box office, he doesn't mind saying three grams of oil to these crooked nuts.
