Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 663 The Battle of Chibi Released, Scores Released

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

In the face of the powerful publicity campaign of "Thunder Explosion", neither Zhang Xiao's "Zhu Xian" nor Chen Gang's "Battle of the Red Cliff" failed to cause any waves.

Zhang Xiao had no intention of fighting a propaganda war with the opponent, and Chen Gang was not an opponent at all.

Seeing that there is still a week before the release, Chen Gang released the ultimate trailer of "Battle of the Red Cliff" on the Internet. At the same time, he led the leading actors to set off a vigorous publicity in major first-tier cities, and the fan meeting was held More than 30 performances exhausted the leading actors.

Fortunately, the effect is still very good. Before the premiere of "Battle of the Red Cliff", the domestic pre-sale box office exceeded [-] million.

As for foreign countries, Huayi only spent 1000 million US dollars to release the ultimate promotional video of "Battle of the Red Cliff" on the Internet.

Due to the lack of international superstars and publicity tissues, and offending Cable Company, Huayi has almost given up overseas promotion and can only win by word of mouth.

Surprisingly, the overseas pre-sale box office of "Battle of the Red Cliff" turned out to be pretty good, reaching 200 million US dollars, which far exceeded Chen Gang's expectations.

At 24:00 on July [-], "Battle of the Red Cliff", which has gone through ups and downs, finally began its premiere.

In order to express his support for domestic films to go global, Su Changde, director of the Department of Culture, brought more than ten staff members into Longda Cinema for the first time.

Originally, "Battle of the Red Cliff" was supposed to premiere at the Suoli Cinema, but Wang Jun was worried that the other party would do something wrong, so he chose the local theater in Huaguo, Longda Cinema.

In addition to the people from the Culture Department, Suo Li also invited dozens of big names in the industry to come to the platform, which can be said to be star-studded.

Chen Gang, as the director, thanked everyone on stage for coming, and briefly explained the difficulties encountered during the filming and release of "Battle of the Red Cliff".

Everyone is in the same circle, so they are all very clear about the "Battle of the Red Cliff". It can be said that this is entirely Huayi's own fault.

Of course, in these matters, Suo Li played a disgraceful role.

soon.

The movie officially begins.

"Battle of the Red Cliff" started with Cao Cao, played by Chow Yun-fat, showing off his power above the main hall, forcing the emperor to order an attack on Soochow.

I have to say that Brother Fa's acting skills are absolutely amazing. The Cao Cao he played is not only domineering, but also interprets Cao Cao's suspicious character through micro-expressions.

It was also the first time for Chen Daoming to see the feature film of this movie, and he said in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, it seems that next year's Golden Cup Film Festival Best Actor will be yours."

Fa Ge laughed and said, "Mr. Chen is over the top."

Li Xuejian said: "This is really not a compliment. For us actors, it is not difficult to play Cao Cao's domineering, but the difficulty lies in the two words 'doubt' and 'thief'. Although it is only a beginning, it is still possible. It can be seen that Mr. Zhou acted just right."

Fa Ge said: "This is all thanks to Zhang Xiao's guidance. His directing ability and acting skills are the best in the world. I asked him on the phone to give him the trick of acting Cao Cao. This kid has no secrets. I learned from him. Learned a lot there.”

"That's how the effect you see now is achieved. It can be said that Zhang Xiao contributed the most to my being able to perform this effect."

After listening to it, Chen Daoming didn't doubt Teacher Zhou's words at all, and sighed: "This guy Zhang Xiao is a monster, I really don't understand how he has developed his acting skills."

···
On the screen, an official scolded Cao Cao, and Cao Cao beheaded him to sacrifice the flag, and the Battle of Chibi officially began.

I have to say that the first half of "Battle of the Red Cliff" was shot very well, with sharp editing and extremely fast progress. Cao Cao's team and Liu Bei's team also played vigorously, and the scene can be considered spectacular.

Zhao Yun used a silver gun to kill him, Zhang Fei shouted at Dangyang Bridge, pushed Cao Cao's million soldiers and horses down, and other scenes were also shot very well.

But in the mid-term, the clips of Zhuge Liang's tongue-in-cheek battle with the Confucians are not flattering.

Zhuge Liang, played by Takeshi Kaneshiro, is completely different from the Zhuge Liang who is planning a strategy and winning thousands of miles away in people's impression. There is almost no similarity except that Zhuge Liang is holding a feather fan. place.

Zhou Yu's exhortation to Sun Quan was also too procrastinated. Obviously, Chen Gang had a problem with the control of the rhythm.

In the later stage, the Sun Liu coalition army fought with Cao Ren's army for a full 10 minutes. Almost all the methods that could be used in ancient wars were used. It still looks very fierce, but compared with other war movies, it is not Not very prominent.

Similar to "Red Cliff" on Earth, Chen Gang used Cao Cao's "Duan Ge Xing" to draw an end to "Battle of Red Cliff".

After the subtitles were played, Chen Gang made an easter egg, which was a clip of "Battle of Chibi 2", about 2 minutes long.

So far, the premiere of "Battle of the Red Cliff" is all over.

"Ms. Li, how much is your score?" The film critic Cao Huai'en asked Li Rong, who was next to him.

Li Rong is a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy and a well-known film writer. Hearing what Cao Huai'en said, he replied: "Score 7.5, quite satisfactory, no surprises."

Cao Huaien nodded and said, "I thought I was the only one who felt this way."

Li Rongdao: "Director Chen Gang's ability to control the big scenes is obviously lacking, and there are also problems in the selection of actors. Some actors' performances made me feel embarrassed watching them."

Cao Huai'en sighed: "To be honest, what I want to see most is Zhang Xiaolai playing Zhou Yu."

"Don't dream." Li Rong glanced at him and said, "As far as the relationship between Zhang Xiao and Chen Gang is concerned, it is impossible to cooperate in this life. .”

Cao Huai'en nodded, and said with a wry smile: "The key is that Zhang Xiao's director ability is stronger than Chen Gang's, and he will definitely not participate in the other party's movie."

Li Rong smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Chen Gang on stage led the leading actors to thank everyone for coming, and then invited several big names in the entertainment industry to comment.

On such an occasion, everyone must only say good things and not bad things.

The next day, more than 1 movie fans on the film review website gave "Battle of the Red Cliff" a score of 7.7.

"It can be seen, but it is not very exciting."

"Although the scene is very big, the speed of war restoration is not good, and the control of the big scene is very general, only Fa Ge's Cao Cao is the most outstanding."

"Seven points, only for the battle scenes, other aspects, it is really hard to say."

"With superstars gathered together, without a good director's introduction, it is also impossible to make a deceptive film."

"It was filmed according to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, without any surprises."

"For Chen Gang, who is in charge of such a big scene for the first time, this performance is not bad."

"Now I'm a little worried about the overseas box office. Not everyone's name is Xiao Shen."
