This star is too fierce

Lu Bu and Gao Yuanyuan participated in the Splendid Hanfu Qixi Festival event, which became the hottest entertainment news of the day.

[Promote traditional culture, show the beauty of Hanfu, Lu Bu and Gao Yuanyuan create a new fashion trend! 】

[Lu Bu brought his rumored girlfriend Gao Yuanyuan to a high-profile event! 】

[Lu Bu and Gao Yuanyuan's new drama "Legend of Chu and Han" has been exposed, and will star in Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Yu Ji, the poppy! 】

These reports come in all shapes and sizes, depending on how they attract attention.

But the gossip belongs to the gossip, and the theme does not deviate from "Hanfu", "Gossip Girl", "Legend of Chu and Han".

And the most discussed on the Internet is the new drama.

"I really want to play Xiang Yu."

"finally come!"

"These two characters, Luo Cheng and Meng Yi, aren't aggressive enough, and their reputations aren't loud enough. They have to be [Xiang Yu], [Lu Bu], and [Li Xiaocun]."

"Gao Yuanyuan's concubine Yu is also worth looking forward to."

"She is very suitable for this kind of classical and gentle role."

"I admire this on-screen couple very much."

"It is rumored that this drama was co-created by the famous director Gao Xixi and the gold medal screenwriter Wang Hailin. It brings together powerful actors such as Chen Daomin, Qin Lan, Duan Yihong, Yu Hewei, Xu Jinjiang, etc. It can be said that three generations of actors, old and young, are competing on the same stage. And the high investment of 2.4 million yuan is unique in the TV drama industry in recent years."

"When it comes to big investment, why am I a little scared?"

"Yeah, in the past two years, whether it's movies or TV shows, as long as they claim to be big investments, 90% of them have doubled in word of mouth, ratings and box office."

"Don't worry, there is no Zhang Jizhong in this drama."

……

Lu Bu's role as Xiang Yu has always been expected by the audience.

However, large-scale TV dramas are both joyful and worrying.

I don't know what's wrong, most of the dramas nowadays, the poorer the crew, the easier it is to produce a good drama, and the richer the crew, eh, the production is not pleasing to the audience.

It can only be said that "success is capital, and failure is capital". The money interests involved in this circle are too great. When there is too much money, many rules in this circle are self-contained "hidden rules". Ways to control it on the surface.

And under the unspoken rules of this kind of undercurrent, favor and capital are much more direct than ability.

Capital invests with money and brings in a newcomer, do you agree?If you don't agree, I will withdraw the investment. Are you still filming this drama?
Furthermore, in order to ensure their appearance rate and popularity, those old faces have changed their scenes, lines, and characters. Where do they stand in the circle? Do you want to change?

No crew can afford such a toss, so it doesn't have to be the fault of the director, or the screenwriter, or just any actor.

The good thing is that the capital behind "Legend of Chu and Han" did not interfere too much, only a coal boss with 30% of the investment made a request, that is, there must be Lu Bu.

The actors are very dedicated, and they act as the script is written, and there are not so many things.

Director Gao Xixi and screenwriter Wang Hailin are also open to opinions and are willing to revise the script.

At this time, Lu Bu's small courtyard.

There is an in-house party going on here, and all the artists are there.

It is worth mentioning that Yu Feihong signed Wang Zuxian, Liu Shishi, Tang Tang, Yuan Hong, Huang Bo and Brother Dao.

There are more and more people, so that the small courtyard seems crowded.

It was time to change the base camp, and it happened that Lu Bu had a lot of spare money, so he asked an intermediary to find that kind of large courtyard house with thousands of square meters, but he didn't know if there was any one for sale.

""Crazy Stone" has been released." Yu Feihong chatted with Lu Bu while flipping through the ingredients on the grill.

"Things have been getting together these days, and I forgot about it." Lu Bu went to shoot the MV and participated in the event again.

"Guess how much box office you got." Faye Yu said with a smile.

"3000 million?" Lu Bu calculated based on the first-day box office and first-day word-of-mouth.

"It's about the same. Inner Hong Kong and Taiwan totaled 3277 million." Yu Feihong was very satisfied with the final box office.

"There's something about this Ning Hao. With a budget of 500 million, he has earned more than six times the box office." Lu Bu praised.

"You mentioned Ning Hao, and I just remembered that I have something to ask you. Do you want to sign him? Our studio has a little less directors." Yu Feihong asked.

It is rare, just one ginger pattern.

Lu Bu asked back, "Does he not have a company?"

Yu Feihong replied: "Probably not, directors generally rarely choose to join the company."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "If you can sign, then sign."

Yu Feihong had a flash of inspiration, and said, "How about we also use 2000 million to create a 'new director, new screenwriter plan'?"

Lu Bu knew that Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" participated in the "Asian Rising Star Director Project" initiated by Andy Lau. This project is to select six young directors from all over Asia and subsidize them to make movies. It is a very innovative idea. But he has to bear all the risks, and when he was thinking, he also had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Tell me, if it is made into a talent show like Supergirl, will it be successful?"

Yu Feihong thought for a while, and said: "I feel that there are not many songs to watch, so I will call and talk to Mr. He tomorrow. He has experience in this field. If possible, I will talk to the TV station."

As he said that, Lu Bu caught a glimpse of Jiang Wen, and remembered something again, and immediately asked, "How is the performance of "Dragon Tiger Gate" in the first weekend?"

Yu Feihong replied: "It was screened simultaneously in Inner Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. The first weekend's box office was very successful, including 1560 million in the mainland, 500 million in Hong Kong, and 1100 million in Taiwan, Taiwan, Malaysia and Thailand. million, and the total box office in the first weekend exceeded 3000 million."

This year's summer film market is dominated by Hollywood movies, with "Superman Returns" and "Mission: Impossible 3" occupying most of the sky.

In recent years, due to the shortage of action stars and excessive pursuit of stunts, Chinese Kung Fu movies are in decline, and the market is gradually being seized by Hollywood action blockbusters and emerging Thai action movies. Impressions in mind.

However, the word-of-mouth is not very good. Douban scored 6.5, but dropped to 6.2 within a few days of its release. It is still an old problem of action movies, focusing on drama and ignoring plot.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Then our "The Sun Also Rises" isn't stable."

The decline in word-of-mouth will inevitably affect the attendance rate, and the film schedule will also be cut.

Yu Feihong followed suit with a smile, and said: "But it's right to choose to avoid it. The momentum in the first few days is still very strong. In addition, literary and artistic films have inherent disadvantages, so it is difficult to compete head-on with action films."

Lu Bu sighed softly: "Brother Jiang has sharpened his sword for five years, hoping to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly."

Yu Feihong also hoped so, and then said: "The promotion of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is about to start, I discussed it with Brother Luo, and I want you to join the event."

Lu Bu has a guest appearance in Xianjian 3, because he has a role in Xianjian 1 Li Xiaoyao, it is reasonable to participate in the event, even if he does not star, as one of the investors, producers, and producers, he should come forward due to emotion and reason Going to help with publicity, he immediately said, "No problem."

Yu Feihong said again: "Didn't "Happy Camp" plan a confrontation between our "Mythology" crew and Chen Kaige's "Promise" crew last time, and it got very high ratings. They want to do it again."

At that time, not only the ratings were high, but the topic was also high.

Lu Bu asked, "Which drama is Fairy Sword 3 and?"

Yu Feihong replied: "Director Zhang's "The Deer and Ding Tale"."

Without even thinking about it, Lu Bu immediately said, "Yes."

Yu Feihong said again: "Director Zhang leads the team on their side, how about you come here?"

Lu Bu let out an "ah" and said, "Aren't you and Brother Luo?"

Yu Feihong explained: "I am following up the post-production of Chinese Paladin 3, and Brother Luo is following up the post-production of "The Star Herding Sheep", and I can't get away."

Excuse!

It only takes half a day to record a show.

And post-production doesn't have to stare at it every day, so how could it be impossible to get away.

However, since they didn't want to go and Lu Bu was idle, he could only say, "Okay, I'll go."

On August 8th, Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" held its premiere in Yanjing.

The film was announced with a high profile to go to the Venice Film Festival, and after its world premiere, domestic and foreign media also gave it a high evaluation.

But in the end, there was no harvest. When interviewed by media reporters, Jiang Wen said: "It's not surprising that I didn't win the award. I had already made preparations for this before I went."

And before he went to Venice, his sentence "I plan things, and success depends on planning" was once the headline quotation of major media. As to whether Zhang Yimou's failure to win the award was related to Zhang Yimou, he said very frankly: "This question you go to." Asking Zhang Yimou is more useful than asking me. Besides, what I said is correct. There is no need for Zhang Yimou to help me. This is a film festival, and every judge has a different opinion. As a member of the film festival, I People, it is enough for more people to see this movie and like this movie.”

And all the artists in the fierce general studio also came to support.

As the boss, Lu Bu naturally became the main target of media reporters.

"Jiang Wen's movie didn't win an award, are you disappointed?"

"It is said that the film's investment has reached 5000 million. Do you think the box office can exceed 1.5 million?"

"As Jiang Wen's return to the director's first work, why didn't you participate?"

Even if he was an old fritter, it was difficult to deal with it. Lu Bu answered a few questions selectively, then slipped away and entered the movie theater.

"Boss, you sit in the middle seat." In the movie hall, there are employees from the Resilience Studio who are in charge of seating the guests.

"Wouldn't it be too much noise if I sit there? You'll let Director Jiang sit there." Lu Bu glanced and saw that the seat next to Hu Jing and Zeng Lai was empty, and said, "I'll find a seat by myself, and you go to receive other people." .”

"Okay." The employee didn't dare to have an opinion.

"Why did you come here?" Hu Jing asked softly.

"I'm happy!" Lu Bu laughed.

"There will be media reporters in a while, aren't you afraid of being scribbled again?" Zeng Lai asked in a low voice.

"This is a public place, let me see who dares to scribble!" Lu Bu joked.

He didn't care.

If you don't sit here, you won't write scribbles?

Obviously not.

Hu Jing and Zeng Lai didn't say anything more, they chatted with Lu Bu in a low voice.

Half an hour later, all the guests entered the arena, followed by the audience and media reporters.

Afterwards, Jiang Wen delivered a speech in front of the big screen of the movie hall, and the viewing session of the premiere officially began.

[In 1976, in a remote mountain village in the south, Li Dongfang’s mother went crazy because of a pair of shoes and became a crazy mother.

In 1976, in a university, a movie was shown on the playground at night, and five women claimed to be "touched buttocks".

In 1976, Lao Tang and Tang's wife were sent down to the small mountain village where Li Dongfang lived. Lao Tang went hunting with the village children every day, enjoying themselves. Tang's wife was left out in the cold, ready to find her new life...

In 1958, in Xinyan, two women riding camels, Mrs. Tang and the crazy mother who was pregnant with Liujia, walked side by side, and what greeted them was two completely different destinies...]

When the theater was illuminated by lights, the audience burst into applause.

However, Lu Bu took a cursory look around, and found that many people had a big "嗤" written on their faces.

Obviously, they didn't understand, they clapped their hands just out of support for Jiang Wen, because all the fans came.

But to be honest, Jiang Wen was a bit ruthless this time.

A movie actually contains 20 years of information for the audience to recall. What's more terrible is that every detail in front of it may form important clues in the back. The search nerve is tense all the time.

Therefore, it is impossible to connect the four parts into a complete story just by watching it once.

Regarding this movie, there are only 3 choices now:

One is don’t go to the cinema, don’t even think about it;

The second is to go to the cinema to watch, but also don't think about it, just treat it as an entertainment movie;

The third is to consider from the perspective of the wallet. This choice is the worst. After reading it, you think about it for a while and find that you don’t understand it. You can only read it again, and then think again.

In the final analysis, this time I really followed the old saying about Jiang Wen and Jiang Wen's movies: when the audience thinks, Jiang Wen laughs, facing the white silver, smiling brightly like the sun.

"Xiao Lai, do you understand?"

"Understand a little bit, how about you?"

"Same."

Hu Jing and Zeng Lai looked at Lu Bu again.

Lu Bu opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, thought again and again, and finally gave the evaluation: "It's hanging."

This is indeed the case.

The box office of "The Sun Also Rises" in the first weekend was only 680 million, and the total box office may not exceed 2000 million. Let alone a return of capital, this is already a loss without even underpants.

Although the Douban score is 8.3, the critics are not optimistic. Some film critics shouted "Jiang Lang is exhausted" because of this movie.

It seemed that the sword that had been honed for five years was broken.

With the addition of "The Devil Is Coming", Jiang Wen lost hundreds of millions of dollars to investors for two consecutive films.

And here, there is Lu Bu's 1000 million.

On this day, Jiang Wen brought a box of Moutai to Lv Bu's small courtyard, but after a few days, he was much haggard. (end of this chapter)
