At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 669 Hanging and beating!

Frankly speaking, the plot rhythm of "Zhao Zilong 2" is a bit loose, and there is no foreshadowing of "Dingjun Mountain" before, so it is not friendly to many movie fans who don't know much about the Three Kingdoms...

In order, it should be "Zhao Zilong" → "Red Cliff" → "Zhang Yide Destroys Zhang Yun" → "Dingjun Mountain" → "Zhao Zilong 2"...

Isn't this an unpleasant quarrel between the two sides!
And "Red Cliff" is impossible to shoot...

Jiahe and Shen Xudong simply omitted a few pieces in the middle...

Well, in fact, with the mentality of "the Three Kingdoms series can be skipped, but "Jianlong Xiejia" must die", he directly edited "Zhao Zilong 2"...

I didn't think about it that much...

Otherwise, "Cao Cao" would not be filmed

Of course, there must be nothing wrong with the production of the whole movie!
Golden Harvest gambled the entire company's efforts on a work that gambled on its self-esteem, and it would definitely not be bad.

After half a year of post-production, the color tone, soundtrack, and special effects are all top-notch.

Guaranteed to make the general audience can watch the cool...

Douban scored 7.6 points, Mtime.com scored 7.7 points, and most of them were well received by word of mouth.

The main reason why it didn't reach 8 points is: no surprises!
Shen Xudong didn't want to deconstruct "Three Kingdoms" from the very beginning, which also caused many audiences who are familiar with "Three Kingdoms" to watch things and repeat them again, which is really not much interesting.

The reason for giving it a score of 7.6 is that the battle with cold weapons is very enjoyable, and there are no major loopholes in the plot...

Moreover, Zhao Zilong is truly loyal and brave!
And then..."Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor"...

This movie is not only wrong with Zhao Yun, but also pulled Zhuge Liang from the altar by the way-eating noodles, divination, and being immoral!
The so-called last two tips actually sold Zhao Yun...

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Shu Han has two perfect characters: Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun: Handsome and capable of fighting, neither arrogant nor impetuous, loyal and reliable, capable of being a bodyguard and commanding troops, known as an ever-victorious general, it is easy for the audience not to buy into such a sad situation.

Zhuge Liang, a master of ingenuity and ingenuity, is so wise that he is almost a monster, and he is also a handsome guy: he is eight feet long, his face is like a crown jade, he wears a lun scarf and a crane cloak, he looks like a fairy;

Zhuge Liang in "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" found Pu Cunxi to act...

Let's not talk about the appearance, the appearance is too rough, the enemy army is attacking by [-], Zhuge's army division is like a hungry ghost, and he just counts the number of soldiers according to the stove, which coincides with Pangsun's method of reducing stoves, which is similar to Zhuge Si The method of retreating from Qishan echoes each other from afar, which is really very talented.

The military master's magic calculation said that there was thunder and lightning, woohoo, Zhao Yun made his debut, and it was Oda Nobunaga who attacked Imagawa Yoshimoto in a narrow barrel.Formation, green dragon on the left, white tiger on the right, 20 people assault the middle...

Brother, 20 people play one thousand?
Awesome!
In the end, Army Master Zhuge turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and used General Zilong as a bait...

Where is the magic?

Well, all of a sudden, the two altar figures were pulled down!

Bad reviews can be imagined...

In comparison, "Zhao Zilong 2" is simply not too good-looking...

……

In fact, Western movies, no, it should be the type of movie. I can’t say exactly what type, but the general plot is certain: an old man has won countless honors in his life, facing challenges in old age or in the new era, facing himself, the reality The above is a problem that everyone has to face, and it is also the personal professional ethics emphasized in the sense of Western Protestantism.

"Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor" outputs this kind of tone, and the core of the whole play is the map: no matter how far you go, you will eventually return to the original point, which is "fate".

Therefore, in the battle of Fengming Mountain, Zhao Zilong let Cao Shuang go!
——Perhaps the moment he arrived at Fengming Mountain, Zhao Zilong already knew his end.

From this tonality, "Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor" is not bad!

The question is whether you are called "Three Kingdoms Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor", or are you playing against "Zhao Zilong 2" in the same field...

The story about Andy Lau's rejection of "Zhao Zilong 2" has been circulating for a long time.

Almost all the audience went to the cinema to watch the movie with the mentality of watching "Zhao Zilong"...

Then, a feast of magic reform was presented.

The magic reform should be completely changed, like "Shadow", all the superficial names have been changed, and the reputation is very good.But you are reluctant to part with the IP of the Three Kingdoms and Zhao Yun, then I’m sorry, I can only go back to the world view and framework of the Three Kingdoms and deduct points according to it...

On the first day of the box office, there was not much difference between the two sides. "Zhao Zilong 2" was 1200 million, and "Dragon Unloading Armor" was 1080 million...

The next day was different. After a day of swiping the screen, the audience had an intuitive understanding of the two movies.

The company must have bought the draft, and also bought "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", all kinds of bullying Nie Yuan, saying that his Zhao Yun has no sense of vicissitudes, not handsome enough, etc...

For the effect, look at the box office comparison:
April 4th, Friday, "Zhao Zilong 4" 2 million, "Jianlong Unarmor" 1700 million...

At the end of the first four days, the box office of "Zhao Zilong 2" was 7250 million, and "Dragon Unloading Armor" was 4070 million...

Almost double kill!

At the box office in Hong Kong, "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" earned 680 million Hong Kong dollars in its first week, and "Zhao Zilong 2" earned 770 million Hong Kong dollars...

Well, Hong Kong audiences don't accept this kind of magic reform either...

For this, Andy Lau faced the audience's 'flying saucer hat' doubts during the publicity: "It's a bit like the flying saucer in "Yangtze River No. 7"..."

Andy Lau said: "I hope everyone will not make it worthless."

Director Li Rengang said that all the shapes of Zhao Zilong are based on ancient murals as the basis of creation, "We have carefully studied them."

Ancient murals?

The murals of the Three Kingdoms period?

Where are the specific murals?Do armies of the Three Kingdoms generally wear helmets like this?
"I think the movie is not a documentary, and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not a real historical material. There is no need to compare the real events of Zhao Yun. Indeed, the movie is about Zhao Zilong, and it is indeed different from the historical ending. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms itself is not History is not the history of the Three Kingdoms, it is also a novel! The Three Kingdoms, so many things from ancient to modern, are all for jokes..."

"How many of the Three Kingdoms and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty have you really read? Don't learn history from movies!"

What Li Rengang said is very...reasonable!
The problem is... the audience doesn't accept it.

Now let’s talk about the word public impression. Movies must be popular culture, and public impression is irreversible. If you want to challenge and reverse the verdict for a certain historical figure, you can go for a niche Cult film...

"Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor", with a cost of 3500 million US dollars, starring Andy Lau, has been an international production aimed at all of Asia since the beginning of the project!
Then you changed the Three Kingdoms...

The most speechless thing is - the art style is obviously Japanese style, but no Japanese film company is willing to buy it...

No, there are still companies who want to buy it, but the asking price is only 200 million US dollars at most.

Wu Kebo of Orange Sky thinks this is an opportunity to get involved with Andy Lau, but all his money is used to invest in "Red Cliff".

The current situation is like this, "Zhao Zilong 2" beats "Jianlong Unloading Armor" in all aspects, and the latter may find it difficult to recover the cost...

The only good thing is that the Korean box office of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" is not bad-the number of viewers in the first weekend was 25, which is not far behind "Zhao Zilong 2", which was 27 viewers...
