I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 107 Three Directors
Early the next morning, Li Yancheng contacted the navy to start hyping "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness".

On major forums,,,,

The last fight scene in "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" can kill all fight scenes in an instant. 》

"After watching the premiere of "Loyalty and Bravery", the best martial arts movie in my mind has been released. 》

"I went to see the premiere of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" yesterday, and I can only say that the fight scene at the end was the most exciting fight scene in film history. 》

,,,,
The posts in these large forums are relatively normal. Most people are suspicious of the comments below, but they don't go to the point of shouting.

There are even many supporters.

Some of these people became Wanqingshan fans because of "The True Meaning of Love".

There are also some netizens who resisted together because a group of film experts criticized Wan Qingshan before, making them feel that they and Wan Qingshan are on the same side.

"Owner, are you exaggerating? You are giving back the most exciting fight scene in film history? If you don't talk about the deceased Mr. Bruce Lee, let's talk about where you put the movies of Cheng Long and Jet Li."

"Best martial arts film? It's too fake. Can the mainland make good martial arts films? Not to mention actors, martial arts films also need a good martial arts design team. Are there any in the mainland? In the end, martial arts films still have to look at Hong Kong Island. "

"Upstairs, although I think what the poster said is too exaggerated, you are wrong when you say that martial arts movies will never be good in mainland China.

If the filming is not good, how come there are so many wonderful martial arts TV series in the mainland?

Also, the mainland has a very good martial arts design team. Many of the martial arts designers on Hong Kong Island are from the mainland, but they have little experience and don't know much about it.

There are no martial arts films in the Mainland because martial arts films have declined, so there are no directors to make them. It’s not because they’re bad! "

"The poster may be exaggerating a bit, but after "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" was released, I still went to buy a ticket to support Director Wan.

If nothing else, before "The True Meaning of Love" was released, no one thought that Director Wan, who had a background in art films, could make such a wonderful comedy.

As for "The True Meaning of Love," I believe "Loyalty, Righteousness, and Bravery" will also disappoint me. "

"What you said above makes sense. Just because of "The True Meaning of Love", I will also read "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness".

"I also support Director Wan. I think Director Wan can continue to make comedy films and make money, but he dares to challenge action films, so it is worthy of my support."

,,,,,,,,
Under the comments of those who supported Wan Qingshan, many netizens who were watching thought, 'Yeah, just for "The True Meaning of Love", you can also watch "Loyal Liver and Righteousness".

Posts in large forums are controversial but within a relatively normal range, while posts in small forums are full of gimmicks and provocations.

"Cheng Long, Jet Li has never produced such a wonderful fight scene as "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" in his lifetime. 》

"The Next Kung Fu Superstar - Zhang Jin!" 》

The fight scenes between Cheng Long and Li Lianjie were just showmanship, but the fight scenes in "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" were real! 》

,,,,,

These attention-grabbing posts caused fans of Cheng Long and Jet Li to curse below.

"What the hell? Cheng Long and Jet Li couldn't produce exciting fight scenes. When Cheng Long and Jet Li produced martial arts films that shocked Americans, people like Wan Qingshan and Zhang Jin were still wearing crotchless pants."

"Zhang Jin is also a kung fu superstar, with dead fish eyes and a mean face. He played a fool in "Water Moon Cave". He is also worthy of being placed with Cheng Long and Jet Li."

"Master, is your mother dead? Cheng Long relies on fighting for his life, Li Lianjie is a martial arts champion and can handle all kinds of weapons, so they can break into Hollywood and become Kung Fu superstars.

Who is Zhang Jin?To be honest, I don’t even know who Zhang Jin is?Return to Kung Fu Superstar!

Kung Fu superstars are not just hyped. Not to mention that he can break into Hollywood like Cheng Long and Jet Li. As long as he can be as popular as Ge You in China, I will admit that he is a kung fu superstar. "

,,,,,,
There are too many people scolding these posts, and the early publicity itself will cause people to curse. Some of the scolding posts are posted by trolls.

As a result, all the forum posts were criticized, and no one supported "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery".

Because they suppressed Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, the small forum posts quickly spread online.As a result of the big forum post, the trend changed immediately.

Even Wan Qingshan's die-hard fans are still posting in support of Wan Qingshan, but at the same time, they are also scolding Zhang Jin.

There were too many people criticizing, and the herd mentality caused the netizens who were watching to boycott "Loyal Liver and Righteousness".

Seeing that people on the Internet were boycotting "Loyal Liver and Righteousness", and the premiere day was the day after tomorrow, Li Yancheng was very worried and took out his mobile phone several times to call Wan Qingshan.

However, every time Li Yancheng wanted to call Wan Qingshan, he would think of what Wan Qingshan said last night, "I have my own plans in this regard, and I will let you know when the time comes." '

So, he put the phone away again.

After Li Yancheng suffered for a day due to the abuse on the Internet, on October [-], the day before the release of "Loyal Liver and Brave", Wan Qingshan came to Enlight Pictures and signed a distribution rights contract with Toei and CJ.

After rejecting the two companies' invitation to go to Japan and South Korea for publicity, Wan Qingshan told Zhang Zhao to quickly find reporters to interview Toei Company and CJ Company.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhao called.

I told Wanqing that both Shandong Film and Television Company and CJ Company told reporters that the fight scenes in "Loyal Lives and the Brave" are very exciting, and the last fight scene is likely to be included as an action scene textbook by their country's film industry.

As for reporters, he found reporters from the Sina website. He took care of it. The reporters would write more subjective things, and the news would be published on the Sina website in a short while.

Wan Qingshan said a few words to Zhang Zhao, hung up the phone, and immediately called Li Yancheng.

As soon as the phone rang, Li Yancheng answered the call. Before Wan Qingshan could speak, Li Yancheng asked worriedly,
"Qingzi, everyone on the Internet is scolding and boycotting "Loyal Liver and Righteousness". Tomorrow is the premiere day. If we don't give guidance, it will affect the box office on the first day tomorrow."

Li Yancheng had always wanted to call Wan Qingshan to ask when he would start guiding.

Just thinking about what Wan Qingshan said that day, he held back the fight. Now that Wan Qingshan called, he couldn't help but ask.

Wan Qingshan had long known about the online boycott from Chen Chen.

Yesterday morning, he asked Chen Chen to pay attention to the online news about "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" and call him anytime if there is any situation.

Wan Qingshan smiled calmly and said, "Brother Cheng, I'm calling you just to tell you that I'm ready to work.

After a while, Sina News will have news about "Loyal Liver and Righteousness". You can ask the navy to take the Sina news and follow it to the original post for me.

This time, don’t step on Cheng Long and Li Lianjie. Just take the Sina News report and praise me for being “loyal and courageous”. "

Although he didn't know what news the Sina website would have, Li Yancheng was relieved to hear that Wan Qingshan sounded confident.

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare here."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Li Yancheng saw the news about "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" on the Sina website.

Li Yancheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he opened the penguin colony in high spirits and contacted the navy.

Soon, the trolls took Sina’s news and counterattacked in various forums.

"Fuck, the latest news from Sina is that the Japanese and Korean distribution rights of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Dangers" were sold for more than 6000 million. Also, people in the island country and South Korea said that the final fight scene of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Dangers" will be sold by their countries. The film industry has included it as a teaching material for martial arts scenes."

"Upstairs, I just saw the news. I just want to say that Wan Dao is awesome. The first martial arts movie he made was actually included in other countries' film circles as a martial arts teaching material."

"You're still boycotting it. Both Japan and South Korea are going to include "Loyalty and Righteousness" as a martial arts teaching material, and your own country is still boycotting it."

"Yes, other countries treat it as a treasure, but we still boycott it, and we are not afraid of being laughed at.

Besides, Cheng Long and Jet Li gained their status as kung fu superstars step by step.

There was a post before that said Zhang Jin is the next kung fu superstar, but it didn't say that he is one now.

Fans of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie were too intolerant and scolded him desperately.

Zhang Jin has just started, we should give him some time instead of scolding him.Finally, I have the embryo of a Kung Fu superstar, be careful not to be scolded by you. "

， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ，

Netizens took advantage of Sina's report and started to post wildly, except for some die-hard fans of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie who made a few rebuttals.

The rest of the people immediately turned against him and followed the trolls in posting praises.

It seems that they were not the ones who scolded Zhang Jin and "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" before.

No one refuted it, but with the online posts going crazy, the trend suddenly changed, with everyone supporting "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness".

The netizens who were watching were confused for a moment, then thought that Sina reported that both Japan and South Korea had included the fighting scenes from "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" as martial arts teaching materials. It must be very exciting.

Then I thought about the fact that I had scolded "loyalty to the liver and righteousness" in my mind before, and I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Under this mentality, they also began to give up and posted support for "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness".Previously, it became very popular because of the rejection of Cheng Long and Jet Li.

Now the netizens who are watching are becoming more enthusiastic as soon as the show starts. After a while, all netizens know that the fight scenes in "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" have been included in the Japanese and Korean film industry as martial arts teaching materials.

There are even people who talk about it offline, causing people who are not online to know about it.

Then, the spread became wider and wider, and the spread became more and more crooked!
'"Loyalty and Loyalty" was included as a film teaching material in Japan and South Korea',
'Loyalty Liver and Righteousness' has been adopted as a teaching material by Japan and South Korea! '

'There is a movie in our country that is used as a teaching material in all foreign countries! '

,,,,,

The next day, the premiere day of "A Loyal Liver and a Righteous Brat", posters of "A Loyal Liver and a Loyalty" were hung in the middle of the poster columns in all theaters.

In the poster background of the dilapidated streets, Wan Qingshan stands in the middle, Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi are on both sides of Wanqing Mountain, and the three people with smiles on their faces are arm in arm.

Zeng Li, wearing heavy makeup and a red jumpsuit that covered her hips, stood at a point in front of her, looking at Wan Qing with a happy face.

Dong Xuan, wearing no makeup and wearing a white dress, looked at Zhang Jin with an innocent and cute smile.

When Enlight Pictures showed this movie poster to Wan Qingshan, Wan Qingshan immediately thought of the poster for "I'm Not the God of Medicine". It was obviously a movie that made people cry, but they made a comedy poster.

This poster was made by the publicity department of Enlight Pictures. They originally wanted to make a normal battle scene poster, but they thought that Wan Qingshan would name the movie "Loyal Liver, Righteous Brave" and use Zhou Huajian's "Friends" as the ending song.

So, they thought that since the movie title and the ending song both have a sense of irony, they would make it ironic to the end and make the poster also feel ironic.

Then, they used editing to create this poster that confused the audience.

The stills of "Loyalty and the Righteousness" have appeared on entertainment news programs, and the trailer has been used as prime advertising space on TV stations. In addition, the popularity on the Internet is almost breaking through the sky. Who among the audience does not know that this is a wonderful martial arts film.

But this poster made the audience feel so warm, like a romance movie.

With doubts, the audience bought tickets to enter.

In the morning, Wan Qingshan led Zeng Li and Yang Junyi on a roadshow to promote the film in several major theaters in Beijing.

Because of the last road show of "The True Meaning of Love", Wan Qingshan almost fell down from exhaustion.

So, this time he was lazy.The road show was divided into two teams. He took Zeng Li and Yang Junyi to perform in Beijing first, and then went to cities such as Chengdu and Chongqing.

A team of Zhang Jin and Dong Xuan went to Shanghai and Nanjing for road shows.

Four days later, the two teams met in Guangzhou. After road shows in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, they went to Hong Kong Island.

The news about the box office success of "The True Meaning of Love" in Japan and South Korea was first reported. Yesterday, Sina News also reported that the Japanese and Korean distribution rights of "The True Meaning of Love" were sold for 6000 million. Toei and CJ Company called "The True Love" The final fight scene will be included in the Japanese and Korean film industry as an action scene teaching material.

In addition, in the past two days, there was a lot of heated abuse and boycotts on the Internet.

As a result, in the past two days, the popularity of the leading actors of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave" has skyrocketed. As soon as the road show started, there were reporters following them.

Among the several leading actors, Wan Qingshan and Zhang Jin are the most popular.

In the past, the Internet was full of abuses against Zhang Jin, but now the situation has reversed because two Japanese and Korean companies announced that the final fight scene in "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" will be included in the film industry of the two countries as a fighting scene teaching material.

As a result, everyone on the Internet began to recognize the name Zhang Jin, the next kung fu superstar.

Therefore, Zhang Jin is full of topics.

The popularity and topics surrounding Wan Qingshan caught Wan Qingshan himself a little off guard.

Because of a news report last night, even Zhang Jin, who wore the gimmick of a kung fu superstar, couldn't compare to him.

The total distribution rights of Japan and South Korea were only sold for more than 4000 million yuan, but Zhang Zhao claimed that the distribution rights of "Loyal Liver and Yidan" in both countries were sold for 6000 million yuan.

The film he directed can sell for 6000 million with a foreign release price. Apart from Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, the only mainland director is Wan Qingshan.

Before "The Promise" was released, the Japanese and Korean distribution rights were sold early.

Although the specific price has not been announced to the outside world, it is only said to be a 'sky-high price'.

But given Chen Kaige's international reputation, and the fact that "The Promise" stars actors from Taiwan and South Korea, it should be more than 6000 million.

Because Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige were brought up for comparison, some people naturally thought of Feng Xiaogang, who is also one of the three major mainland directors.

Then it was discovered that Feng Xiaogang had pulled his hips. The price of foreign distribution rights for his movies had never exceeded 3000 million.

As a result, Sina News reported that the Japanese and Korean distribution rights of "Loyal Liver, Righteous Gallbladder" were sold for 6000 million, and when Li Yancheng sent a navy to turn the online boycott of "Loyal Liver, Righteous gallbladder" into support for "Loyal Liver, Righteous gallbladder",

Several news websites reported very gimmicky news - the three major mainland directors are not worthy of their reputation!
The films of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige can go abroad, but Feng Xiaogang's films can only exist in the mainland. Even before the release of "A World Without Thieves", his films can only exist in the north.

Then it was written that Wan Qingshan is suitable to be called one of the three major directors in the mainland.

Then, the awards and box office of Wan Qingshan and Feng Xiaogang were listed.

In terms of awards, domestically, Wanqingshan only has one Best Debut winner at the Beijing University Student Film Festival, but internationally, Wanqingshan has the Venice Golden Lion Award and the Berlin Best Actor.
At the box office, "The True Meaning of Love" grossed 700 million, and the Japanese and Korean distribution rights of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" were sold at a high price of 6000 million.

Feng Xiaogang has won numerous awards domestically, but internationally he only has one unknown, the Cairo International Film Festival Pyramid Gold Award.

At the box office, "A World Without Thieves" grossed 300 million, while Feng Xiaogang's film's overseas distribution rights could not even be sold for 3000 million.

At the end of the news, it was written that after comparison, the top three directors in the mainland should be Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Wan Qingshan. Feng Xiaogang, who can only win awards in China, does not deserve to be ranked among the top three directors in the mainland.

This news made Wan Qingshan's body of heat and topics almost explode.

After the news came out yesterday, all the news in the entertainment industry was about Wanqingshan.

In order to create hot topics, many news websites also reported on whether Wan Qingshan or Feng Xiaogang was more suitable to be ranked among the top three mainland directors.

This morning, the morning entertainment news from several TV stations also weighed in, listing Wan Qingshan and Feng Xiaogang's awards and movie box office.

They also went to interview young passers-by to find out who was more suitable, Wan Qingshan or Feng Xiaogang, and became the three major directors alongside Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

The news of whether Wan Qingshan is more suitable than Feng Xiaogang to be ranked among the top three directors in the mainland has made Wan Qingshan a bonus pool in the eyes of reporters. As long as Wan Qingshan has any answer to this question, their bonus will come.

Therefore, during every road show, reporters did not ask Zeng Li and Yang Junyi any questions, but all followed Wan Qingshan to ask questions about the three major mainland directors.

"Director Wan, you are right. The three major directors removed Director Feng and put you in. What do you think?"

"Director Wan, if you push Director Feng out of the three major directors, will you worry about being said that you don't respect your seniors?"

"Director Wan, do you think you can be on par with Director Zhang Yimou and Director Chen Kaige?"

,,,,,,
Faced with these questions, Wan Qingshan was helplessly vague and could only say, "I don't have any opinion." '

'I respect my seniors very much. If I had the final say among the three major directors, I would definitely rank Director Xie Jin first. '

'I graduated less than three years ago, and I still have a long way to go on the path of directing. '

,,,,,

Wan Qingshan really didn't expect that because the Japanese and Korean distribution rights of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave" were sold for 6000 million, there would be news that he would be ranked among the top three directors.

Wan Qingshan really wanted to push Feng Xiaogang out of the top three directors, but this was not the time.

He had finally managed to get the popularity of "Loyal Liver, Righteous and Brave" to the sky, and now the news of the re-ranking of the three major directors has brought the heat to him again.

Everyone pays attention to his news. It has an impact on the box office of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave".

After answering reporters' questions at road shows in two movie theaters with vague answers, Wan Qingshan found that not only did the reporters behind him show no signs of leaving, but there were more and more reporters following him.

Seeing this, Wan Qingshan could only contact Zhang Zhao and ask him to send more security personnel, otherwise he was really afraid that reporters would take photos while sleeping at night.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, the road show in Beijing ended, and Wan Qingshan and his party headed to the airport to fly to Chongqing.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, after checking into the hotel, Zeng Li and Yang Junyi waited in the Wanqingshan room for Zhang Zhao to call and report the first-day box office of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery".

Yang Junyi is not very ambitious, so he is not nervous and does not ask Wan Qingshan how much box office he estimates.

Zeng Li is not very career-minded, and with the experience of waiting for the box office of "The True Meaning of Love", she is not nervous and even has the time to chat with Wan Qingshan.

Wan Qingshan is not nervous either. The Japanese and Korean distribution rights of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave" were sold for more than 4000 million yuan, and he has already made back his money.

In addition, all the publicity that should be done has been done. As for the box office, it depends on God's will, so he is not nervous.
