It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1167 The real rich and beautiful woman!

As a director with a photography background, Zhang Yimou has indeed reached perfection in terms of visual sense.

Especially the oriental aesthetics of ink painting, combined with the lMAX giant screen, the effect presented is great!

"Director Zhang is really great when it comes to shooting long shots and freeze-frames!" Ning Hao said to Chen Fei with emotion.

"Yeah, that's undeniable."

Chen Fei agreed with approval, saying that Zhang Yimou is worthy of being the "national master" who made the 08 Olympics famous all over the world. He is really great in processing movie images!
Even for "The Great Wall", which was previously criticized, people only criticized the plot, while not many people criticized the visual effects.

Because of this, just like the previous "Hero", this "Shadow" has also received a lot of praise abroad.

Especially during the Venice International Film Festival, various positive reviews continued to be reported from abroad, making domestic audiences quite curious about the final outcome of the film.

But what is regrettable is that Zhang Yimou doesn't seem to have very high requirements for the actors' acting skills.

Or maybe it's because his own guidance on acting is relatively limited, so none of the actors' acting skills are perfect, either too much or not enough...

The ending of the plot had some feelings similar to classic Shakespeare dramas, which made Chen Fei unconsciously think of Hamlet. However, the actors failed to sublimate this theme from character creation to role expression.

However, the overall picture of the movie is still very good, especially the scene setting, which is great, and you can see that Zhang Yimou put a lot of effort into it. It is at least a hundred thousand times better than "The Great Wall"!
It’s just that the acting and storytelling methods have some flaws, which “let down” the scene and also lacks some connotation.

Although the form of landscape painting is shown, the most important meaning is missing.

If Chen Fei were to give this movie a score, he would give it 8 points for the story and pictures, but the actors' acting skills would only be worth 7 points.

Especially Deng Chao and Sun Li.

The acting skills of these two people undoubtedly lowered the overall level of "Shadow".

The fact that Deng Chao lost weight in a short period of time is undoubtedly worthy of encouragement, but he ended up playing the governor like an extremely wretched old man, which was a bit embarrassing.

Being weak doesn't actually mean being mean. Even if Zi Yu is injured and aged, he should still be a man with charm. There will only be surprises when he appears gentle on the surface but turns out to be a dark and evil person in secret.

Unfortunately, the vulgarity and darkness he displayed at the beginning made it almost impossible to guess the subsequent plot.

Moreover, the manifestations of illness and old age are hunched back and downturned mouth, which are too much signs of "acting"; at the same time, "Jingzhou" as a shadow lacks a bit of inferiority and cowardice, and the aura is too strong, which makes it impossible to flesh out the character.

As for Sun Li, her acting has always been heartfelt and emotional, but it is difficult to conceal the sense of "exaggeration"... Doesn't it feel like your eyes are about to pop out when you are performing?
This kind of acting is naturally better if it stays in TV dramas, but when it is put on the big screen, you will find that she doesn't seem to understand how to show the "natural" state.

If she continues like this, it will be very difficult for her acting skills to make a breakthrough. Not to mention Zhang Manyu, it will be basically impossible for her to even reach Zhou Xun's level.

So overall, this movie is only about 7.5 to 7.8, which is still a little short of 8 points.

However, the other guests and audiences attending the premiere were still very considerate.

When the film ended, there was a continuous round of applause that lasted for nearly a minute.

"Director Chen, Director Ning, Director Jiang, what do you three think of this movie?" Zhang Yimou came over as soon as the premiere ended.

"The visual effects are very good, and the ink painting style is also very innovative. The only flaw is that the actors don't seem to be very engaged."

Chen Fei's straightforward evaluation immediately made Zhang Yimou smile bitterly: "You know what happened outside at that time. Not only the actors, but also I was very anxious. The whole crew was not in a good state."

Ning Hao interjected, "Under those circumstances, being able to film the movie perfectly is already pretty good."

"Yes, you have a pretty good mental state. Unlike me, I still haven't recovered from the failure of Hidden Man and I don't even dare to continue making movies."

Jiang Wen smiled bitterly, and it was obvious that he was really hit.

At the same time, the smoke of the National Day movie season began to rise after the premiere of "Shadow" officially ended!

On this side, the premiere press releases of "Shadow" are "gushing out", while on the other side, films such as "Li Cha's Aunt" and "Fatty Action Team" are also catching up.

"The ink-and-wash action film Shadow, directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Deng Chao, Sun Li, Zheng Kai, Wang Qianyuan, Hu Jun, Wang Jingchun, Guan Xiaotong, Wu Lei and other actors, has been scheduled to be released nationwide on September 9.

This morning, the film held a domestic premiere press conference for "Ink Killing Field" in the capital. All the main creators appeared in person to reveal the production process, share behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and exchange their viewing experience with the audience.

After the screening, the film received unanimous praise from the media and fans, and was praised as a "true masterpiece"! At the same time, the film company released the "shadow" version of the poster and the "play within a play" special edition, and the ultimate showdown is about to begin!"

"The Happy Twist movie "Li Cha's Aunt", which will be released on September 9, recently opened its premiere in 30 cities including the capital, with 22 people laughing in advance, making it the largest premiere in history!
In the movie, male employee Huang Cailun was accidentally mistaken for the "rich aunt" Lu Jingshan. Under the instigation of Allen and Song Yang, he continued to pretend to be the rich aunt. The three of them cheated their father, aunt, and themselves along the way, which was full of jokes.

From the moment Huang Cailun dressed up as a woman, the double mismatch of gender and identity made the audience laugh non-stop, and the three-person wedding hosted by Shen Teng made the audience laugh to the climax! Happy Twist's new film still maintains a high standard, and you can rest assured to go to the cinema and laugh during the National Day. "

"On September 9, the action comedy film "Fat Squad" held its premiere in Beijing, with many celebrity friends and industry insiders appearing on the premiere red carpet.

Directors Wu Shixian and Chen De, actors Aarif Lee, Yuan Hong, Guo Tao, Jia Ling, Wu Yue, Du Chun, Mu Fan Long, Pan Binlong, Cao Bingkun, singers Zhao Yingjun, Lu Hu, Xu Shengen, GAI and others all appeared on the red carpet. Director Bao Bei'er's wife Bao Wenjing and daughter Jiaozi also showed up to show their support.

The film's main creators Bao Bei'er, Qin Xiaozhen, Wen Zhang, Clara, Lamu Yangzi, Xu Juncong, Zeng Yijun, and Zhang Menglu made their final appearance to collectively thank everyone for their support of the film; the film will be released nationwide on September 9th!"

……

A few days passed by in a flash, and the atmosphere of the National Day holiday became more and more intense.

Until September 9th officially arrived, several movies officially entered the theaters at twelve o'clock in the morning, starting the "box office battle"!
At the same time, many previously released films also came to an end.

"The Hollywood blockbuster Mission: Impossible 6: Fallout has grossed 30 billion yuan in box office revenue in 13.33 days since its release."

"Alpha: The Wolf's Journey Home" earned 1.14 million yuan at the box office.

"In the September schedule, among the 9 Chinese-language films produced in China, no film has yet achieved a box office of over 37 million yuan..."

This is what the school season is like, the schedule is so cold!
However, the success of imported blockbusters has made domestic film producers somewhat ashamed. However, the situation will be much better in the future. After all, after the National Day, there is the Lunar New Year, and then the Spring Festival, which are the periods when domestic blockbusters "rise" and "crowd".

"Sissi, what should I do? I'm so nervous!"

Seeing that the TV series was about to start and the time to test the results was approaching, Jing Tian was so panicked!
She has really put in so much effort for "Sito", so she has high expectations for the show.

If her grades are good, then her pressure will naturally be much less, but if she fails, then her future path will be difficult.

She has already been dubbed a "box office poison". If even a drama starring a female lead fails, it will be a big trouble.

"Don't worry, I think the trailer is pretty good, it will definitely be a big hit. If worst comes to worst, there's still Sister Xun's Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace to back you up."

Liu Yifei whispered to Jing Tian to comfort her, hoping to help her ease her tension.

However, she did not expect that Zhou Xun, who was in the crew of "Captain China" at the time, sneezed several times and felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.

Do you feel like you are being despised?

"Is Si Teng on air?"

Chen Fei had just got off work and the first thing he noticed when he got home was Liu Yifei and Jing Tian, ​​who were sitting on the sofa and watching TV intently.

Miss Liu did not respond to him. She was watching intently at the moment.

Jing Tian, ​​on the other hand, quickly stood up and greeted him: "Brother, you're back from get off work."

"Well, sit down. Don't be so polite."

As Chen Fei spoke, he came over and sat down next to Liu Yifei, his eyes also fell on the TV screen.

In the picture, Jing Tian, ​​who removed the European-style double eyelid sutures, drew willow-leaf eyebrows, and grew her dog-chewed short hair longer, actually looks like the "half-demon Si Teng" after putting on a cheongsam, charming yet a little sharp.

Her character is positioned as an "unearthed cultural relic" and because she is not very familiar with modern civilization, her temperament and conversation have a sense of otherworldliness.

It just so happens that Jing Tian gives people the feeling of being out of touch with reality and a little bit pretentious in his daily life. If he plays other characters, he always seems too arrogant, but he unexpectedly fits the character of Si Teng very well.

After watching a short clip of the plot, Chen Fei inexplicably had a comment in his mind:
A true beauty!

From the drama "Sito", we can see how important it is for actors to choose the right role that suits them.

Because not everyone's acting skills can achieve the "a thousand faces for a thousand people" effect, many of Jing Tian's previous resources were wasted. Not only did she fail to become popular, but she was also criticized instead.

But starting from "The Legend of Ban Shu", it seems that her resources have been downgraded, but her popularity has accumulated little by little.

And the drama "Sito" made her completely "explode"!

Especially the makeup, hair and styling in the first few episodes on the first day of the show attracted a lot of female fans for her.

And the way she treats the male lead is quite similar to the way a domineering president in a romance novel treats the female lead, which made a bunch of female fans shout "That's awesome"!
So the next day, October 10st, something unexpected happened to the entire film and television industry.

"Sito" has actually suppressed several movies such as "Shadow", "Li Cha's Aunt", and "Fatty Action Team" on its own, and successfully topped the hot search list of major entertainment social platforms!

"The fans of the original novel are very satisfied. The important plots in the first two episodes were not missed at all. It can be said that it was restored as much as possible. This kind of "respect for the audience" drama is really worth praising! In addition, Da Tiantian is really beautiful!"

"Oh my god, this drama is surprisingly good. It is very faithful to the original novel and the visuals are great. Jing Tian is actually quite suitable for this role. She is elegant, innocent, and noble. She is so beautiful!"

"Why is Sito so good? Because as a drama with a female lead, there are no second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth male characters who all love her, no one is invincible all the way, no one is shouting about independence and self-reliance while being saved by men again and again, no IQ split and occasional disconnections, no assembly line-style routines to force the plot... Is it difficult to achieve the above points? In fact, it is not difficult, but 90% of the dramas with female leads in recent years have all the above points, which is really a headache for people to watch."

"Why isn't this drama broadcast on satellite TV? Why is it broadcast as a web series instead? Also, why doesn't Youku offer advanced on-demand streaming? I'm willing to spend money to support my Meitian! Meitian looks so beautiful in a cheongsam!"

When girls praise other girls, the words they use are so gorgeous that it's amazing!

The end result is that the number of views and clicks on the first few episodes of "Sito" suddenly began to surge, and the heated discussions and debates also continued to rise!
Looking at the movies that competed in the National Day holiday, except for "Shadow" which received a lot of praise, the other movies performed very badly.

Especially "Li Cha's Aunt", although the box office on the first day was as high as 1.37 million, far exceeding the 6615 million of "Shadow" and the 3269 million of "Fatty Action Team", but it was accompanied by a lot of negative reviews and abuse!

"This movie is definitely the worst one produced by Happy Twist. The biggest problem is that it is not funny, especially in the first half, which is very awkward and boring. In the second half, it is a little bit funnier because of some drama jokes, but it is also very boring. At the same time, the spatial arrangement is still like a stage play. It is quite boring and uninteresting as a whole."

"In the portrayal of Huang Canghai's ex-girlfriend, Happy Twist's disgusting nature has been exposed. The script is really bad, it's all a patchwork of jokes. The director even had to sacrifice the rhythm of the narrative for the sake of jokes. Isn't this too bad?"

"Two old men used their genitals as a decryption key, hoping to inherit the safe by sleeping with Monica; Li Cha used a big diamond ring as a marriage certificate, thinking that he could sign his name by eating a bite of tofu that made his teeth ache; bloated middle-aged men regarded sex as power, and bloated young men regarded money as romance...

Haha, going to a deserted island without flowers to pick a flower is emotional kidnapping, and using a blue pill to regain love is wishful thinking. When will we stop treating ignorance as virtue and ugliness as a joke? "

"No wonder Feiyue Films didn't invest in this movie. It turns out that the script and story were too bad and they didn't like it."

"Compared with 'The Richest Man in Xihong City', it's not even a little bit worse!"

"..."

Along with a barrage of abuse and negative reviews, a Douban score of 4.6 was also released.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen and Cao Huayi were stunned.

After all, before the movie was released, the two were very sure that the box office of this film would definitely start at 15 billion and capped at 30 billion!
But now it seems that they were just daydreaming!

At this moment, Zhang Chen's heart was filled with deep regret...
