Chapter 461: Signs of the rise of new forces in the film critic circle (making up for missing updates after the New Year)

Ningbo, Yuyao People's Hospital.

At this time, Brother Chen Kai was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen tube inserted for treatment. He seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping. This was probably how the photo was taken secretly.

Very confusing.

"Old Chen"

After Chen Hong came in, he shouted softly, obviously not knowing whether Brother Chen Kai was asleep or not.

"coming."

Brother Chen Kai opened his eyes slightly, "Have the discharge procedures been completed?"

"Okay, I'll be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon."

Chen Hong nodded, "By the way, Director Li called just now to greet you. I hope you can reply to him later."

"It's so damn tiring. Participating in a film festival is more tiring than filming a movie. By the way, I think something happened to Lao Chen?"

"Come on, I wish you happiness in the next two days."

"It's no big deal. I'm old and tired, so I guess you're about the same."

At this time, Li Mugang had just finished talking to Chen Hong, and not long after, Jiang Wen, who was far away in Shanghai, complained.

"It's a joke, Lao Chen has lost his stamina, he's not as powerful as me!"

"Either way, I should keep you too. Why do you think I agreed to participate in some forum or something like that?"

"Okay, I guess he was deceived by those reports on the Internet. It's not that serious."

As a result, he saved three accidents in a row.

Jiang Wen now regrets it very much. He feels that he has become a coolie at the Shanghai International Film Festival, accepting awards, forums, platforms... the attendance rate is scary.

Li Mu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

The Shanghai International Film Festival had to call in reinforcements.

Brother Chen Kai feels a little emotional, making movies now is not like when he was in his prime. He has endless energy. If he works overtime even a little bit continuously, his body will not be able to bear it anymore.

"You still have to pay attention. You are getting older. It is unnecessary to work overtime continuously."

Jiang Wen, who was at the Shanghai Film Festival, was naturally the first choice, and you couldn't refuse, right? After all, they had just awarded you the Outstanding Contribution Award to Chinese Films, so it wouldn't be nice to turn your back on him so quickly.

There were four shows in one day, three of which were rescuers. It was like the first Masters Forum. Korean director Kang Di-gyu was temporarily absent, leaving only Iwai Shunji and He Ping to support the show. The scene was slightly deserted.

"Yes, Jiang Wen has already won the Contribution Award. It seems that our generation is indeed getting old."

Chen Hong advised.

Li Mu couldn't help laughing after hearing Jiang Wen's complaints.

Jiang Wen seemed to have heard something, but he was too busy to check it out.

There are only two days left before Li Mu starts filming "La La Land", and there is another exclamation in the industry.

"It's not easy for you to win this award, but when they go to the film festival, they not only give you the award, but also give you a whole film festival, so you just think of it as a favor for them."

6月27日才刚刚上映的大片《变形金刚4》，上映第一日票房就达到了1.7亿(含2080万午夜场)，创中国电影史上首日票房的新高。

Completely leaving many previous films behind.

In major theaters, "Transformers 4" accounts for more than half of the movie schedules. "Transformers 4" easily broke three records. Humanity can no longer stop the footsteps of "Transformers"!
Compared with his previous films, "Transformation 4" also achieved amazing results.

"Transformers 3"'s box office performance of 1.1 million on the first day was so easily surpassed by "Transformers 4", with its revenue of nearly million fully doubled from before.

"so tall?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh. The first-day box office is already close to 2 million. Does it mean that the domestic box office is about to enter the era of million in a single day?

"Not surprising, I looked at the data and found that the total number of film screenings nationwide is about 69510, and "Transformers 4" has 37870 screenings, accounting for 54% of the total. "The Breakup Master" ranked second The film scheduling ratio only accounts for about 28%.”

Li Mu looked at the data compiled by Mengying Media and could only say that the growth rate of domestic screens is amazing.

Of course, the film's success on the first day has something to do with the many "Chinese elements" emphasized in the film such as the Imperial Capital, Xiangjiang, Wulong, and Chinese actors. The audience is very convinced of this so far.

Li Mu estimates that many Hollywood blockbusters will once again crazily add domestic elements to win box office.

At this moment, Han Sanping, who has almost no regard for China Film's affairs and only serves as a consultant, has also seen reports from major media online.

Because the single-day box office record of "Edge of Tomorrow" has also been surpassed, the headline that "Transformers 4" surpassed "Edge of Tomorrow" in one-day box office has been hung on the homepage of the entertainment section of many websites.

“I’m afraid it’s not far off to exceed 200 million in a single day.”

Han Sanping sighed with emotion. When he took over China Film, he would be happy if the box office could reach 2000 million in a single day. Now it is 1.7 million, but he has retired.

"I don't understand, what's so good about this? It can break 200 million in a single day."

Han Jianu shook her head.

"Let's talk about it if you can make a movie. I'm also talking about some scripts."

Han Sanping was not angry. Seeing this rebellious daughter, he was so angry that he didn't learn how to be a good director, but he was picky as a screenwriter.

"Naturally, you should take your time for high-quality products. I haven't found a story that interests me yet, so don't be in a hurry." Han Jianyu didn't care at all.

"hehe."

Han's three comments didn't even look at it. If it were someone else's background, they would have tried to shoot the movie, but now let alone the movie, there is not even a script.

However, "The Breakup Master", which was released at the same time as "Transformation 4", directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, has aroused heated discussions.

It seems that when watching "The Breakup Master" in the theater, there are two groups of people who laugh and those who don't.

The audience who burst into laughter were those born after 85 who pursue visual pleasure and simple value judgments. They praised Deng Chao's self-deprecating performance and believed that "it is a portrayal and transformation of our lives."

People who don’t smile are those born in the 70s who pursue spiritual connotation.

Therefore, it is concluded that the question of whether to laugh or not is essentially "completely revealing your age group, and the generation gap in the middle is really not that big."

Not only are netizens engaged in a war of words, but the industry is also starting a war of words.

Lu Xun's father, Lu Tianming, even scolded Deng Chao on Weibo for being "shameless": "It's shameless to ask for money and box office." He is ruining the prosperity of domestic films and will make any normal person feel disgusted."

It seems that Lu Tianming is much harsher than Lu Xun when he scolds people, at least he dares to say it out loud.

However, this is another cross-border work by an actor, and the box office is quite gratifying. It earned 26 million at the box office on the night of screening on the 1937th, and 6 million at the box office on Friday, June 27, for a total of more than 3730 million.

It's no wonder that the industry is also quarreling. Naturally, some people are happy and some are sad.

"It's strange. You said that Director Zhang's "Return" has such a good reputation, and the majority of people like it in online surveys. But for movies like "The Breakup Master", I see survey data showing that the proportion of people who like it is not It’s a lot, but the box office is not bad at all.”

Liu Yifei expressed her doubts. The final box office of "Return" did not exceed 3 million, but stopped at 2.91 million.

Although the reason for the literary film is removed, in comparison, the box office is still far apart based on the current trend.

Because "The Breakup Master" got this box office despite being squeezed by "Transformers 4", it is full of content.

"There is a thing called liking but not buying a ticket. Most of those who like "Return" are probably born in the 70s or 75s. They are responsible for the family finances and may only choose to like it."

Li Mu smiled lightly, and then asked, "So do you know what a saying has been circulating in the circle recently?"

Liu Yifei shook her head.

"You're still not an insider anymore."

Li Mu gently tapped Liu Yifei's little head.

"What? I've been living in a simple way recently, studying scripts every day, how can I have time to know so much?"

Liu Yifei was very dissatisfied and snorted.

"Speak quickly!"

"It is better to 'vote with your wallet' than to 'vote with your mouth.'"

This has also become a symbol of the rise of new forces in the Chinese film critic circle.

In this era of blooming flowers and on the Internet platform, the reputation of current movies is really not determined by the taste of a certain age group.

The box office has long been in the hands of audiences born in the 80s, especially those born in the 85s and even the 90s.

The launch of "La La Land" was very low-key. Li Mu didn't even hold a launch ceremony, and no media knew about it.

In this way, "La La Land" was quietly filmed in Shanghai.

But on the day the shooting started, someone saw it and posted it online.

"I seem to have met Li Mu and Liu Yifei today. It is suspected that filming of "La La Land" has started."

"Really or not? How did we meet by chance? Tell me and I'll go and have a look. You're in the magical city!"

"Don't watch it, let them finish filming quickly, so you can watch it in a good cinema."

However, the crew, which has already finished filming, is already taking a rest. Today's filming is just for familiarization. The actual filming will have to wait until tomorrow.

"Director Li, we contacted a relatively remote place on the highway. You can borrow it for about two hours a day."

The assistant said to Li Mu.

This is the opening of "La La Land" and a very crucial part of the movie.

This scene of singing and dancing on the highway pays tribute to many film and television classics and sets the tone of the entire movie.

There is a huge traffic jam at the beginning, which is modeled after the Italian film "Eight and a Half".

The part about getting out of the car to sing and dance after a disagreement is a tribute to the French movie "Liu Mei Huajiao".

The last part where a group of people jumped on the roof of the car to dance was a tribute to the song and dance film "Famous" released and produced by MGM in 09!
For shooting, the Magic City is naturally the most suitable, because it is indeed very congested, but if you want to shoot this scene here, it is not realistic. Then people in the traffic jam will probably go crazy, and even Li Mu will probably be sprayed to death. For this The crew found many suitable spots and contacted them one by one.

"Okay, this plot will be arranged later. Try to finish it in one go."

Li Mu nodded. Although it can be used every day, naturally it is best to do such a troublesome thing once.

At this time, "Transformers 4" is winning in the Chinese market at an unprecedented speed.

Not only did it achieve a record-breaking box office of RMB 1.7 million on the day it was released, but it also easily earned over RMB million in the first weekend. The speed and results were staggering.
