China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 214: As a result of the flattery, the reputation of "Nanjing" plummeted!

"Everyone at the premiere of "Nanjing Nanjing" was in black formal wear. Director Lu Chuan was moved to tears. The main creators recalled the behind-the-scenes stories of the filming, and everyone shed tears at the scene!"

"Director Chen Jiashang confirmed at the premiere of "Painted Skin" that the love component of the new version of "Painted Skin" is more important than horror. Zhou Xun expressed his true feelings: I hope most that Chen Kun will fall in love with me!"

"Zhang Liangying's "Painting the Heart" is poignant and sad. The world's top magic team used magic means to perform the "peeling off" and "heart-breaking" scenes in the film, and the premiere site presented a 'magic gluttonous night'!"

There is no need to elaborate on the publicity for the premieres of the two movies, they are both grand!

On April 4, the two movies were released at the same time.

And for almost the whole day, Chen Jiashang and Lu Chuan did not dare to read online comments.

They were looking forward to it and nervous at the same time.

Lucuan didn't know whether he would get good results.

After four years of sharpening his sword, he couldn't afford to lose!

What's more, the competition is still a movie from Lingyun Media.

But Lu Chuan still has confidence. But to say that you are not panicking at all would be pure bragging!

Chen Jiashang, on the other hand, was worried that he had ruined his own brand. Lu Yang, a newcomer, had a box office of 2.09 million when his movie was released.

If he can't compare to a newcomer, how can he be the leader of the Hong Kong Film Association? !

Shame on you!

"Director Guan, you are not nervous at all."

Lingyun Media, Chen Jiashang looked at Guan Ling, the old god, and couldn't help but complain.

"Why am I nervous? I didn't make this movie. Director Chen, I'm just nervous about my movie now. Cannes has sent me a notice and the nomination list will be announced in the next few days."

Guan Ling said something to Chen Jiashang and silenced him.

"If you are really nervous, why not go out to the cinema and see which movie has more people buying tickets?"

Guan Ling also gave Chen Jia a bad idea.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the hotel to rest first. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

Chen Jiashang is almost fifty years old and has collaborated with many big names. He is also a permanent member of the Hong Kong Film Awards jury.

Guan Ling was so angry.

The old man was really panicked. In his eyes, this movie must break 100 million yuan.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to save face at all.

But "Nanjing Nanjing" was so heavily promoted that it exceeded 100 million. Who knows if it can really break the 100 million mark?

……

On this day, there was a long queue in the cinema.

As the two most popular movies after "Xiu Chun Knife".

One is an anti-Japanese masterpiece that took four years of hard work.

One is a love movie starring Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, with the label Guan Ling of Lingyun Media.

The two movies are similar in coverage, but the audience's inner tendency is still relatively obvious.

What's more, with the endorsement of CCTV, "Nanjing Nanjing" has an advantage in publicity and distribution.

But I have to say that these two movies are good choices for the audience.

Ma Yufei has accumulated more than 8 fans on his blog.

As a freelance film critic, Ma Yufei is already well-known in Beijing, and he is also a valued audience of Lingyun Media.

At the premiere, he went to the set of "Painted Skin".

How was the movie evaluated? When the song "Drawing Heart" came out, Ma Yufei felt that his whole body was almost melted.

But the plot and editing are definitely not as good as Guan Ling's.

Ma Yufei admits this, but as an attempt at a magical love movie, it has enough gimmicks, and the acting skills of Zhou Xun and Yan Danchen in the movie make Ma Yufei feel that the final box office of this movie should not be far behind.

Because Xiao Wei, played by Zhou Xun, is simply too smart!

At the premiere, I had already watched "Painted Skin" and finished reviewing the film.

If he goes to the theater to watch a movie, he will definitely choose the movie "Nanjing Nanjing".

He valued how Lu Chuan would show what the other party called "the rebellious spirit of the little guy" at the premiere of "Xiu Chun Dao".

In the theater, Ma Yufei saw that there were quite a few people watching the movie. Many young couples bought "Painted Skin", but even more people bought "Nanjing Nanjing".

After taking a quick look at the screenings, it seems that "Nanjing" has a slightly larger share of the two movies' schedule. In one day, "Nanjing, Nanjing" probably had two more shows scheduled in the theater where he was.

"The theater chain still attaches great importance to "Nanjing" this time."

Ma Yufei probably knows in his heart that the attitude of theaters will determine the box office.

It stands to reason that the movies produced by Lingyun Media are related to Ling's face, and tend to be directed by Dadi Cinemas, Wanda Cinemas and other theaters, so "Painted Skin" will not be bad in the schedule.

But although the theater chain where it is located is not the two theater chains, overall, the scheduling ratio of the two movies should not be much different nationwide.

"It's hard to say who will win and who will lose."

Sitting in the theater, the movie started soon.

The black-and-white shooting made Ma Yufei quickly fall into an atmosphere of high concentration. The inexplicable internal strife in the army gave Ma Yufei a sense of depression from the beginning.

Sitting on the left side of Ma Yufei was a family. His parents came with a little girl who was almost ten years old.

Ma Yufei didn't pay attention at first.

But as the movie continues, Ma Yufei's spirit is forced to be attracted by this little girl.

She cuddled up against her mother on her left, shivering——

Later, her mother even started to cover the child's head with her coat and held her tightly.

Inside the movie.

There were gunshots and ghostly music.

This made Ma Yufei feel slightly uneasy.

The movie goes on.

The gloomy black and white picture seems to be a wisp of colorful ribbon faintly caressing the visual nerves of the audience.

shrouded in high-profile patriotism.

Ma Yufei's energy was a little distracted because he was a little confused.

The first time he saw an open condom on the big screen,

Witnessing a tragic rape scene for the first time,

It was the first time that Ma Yufei was so disgusted by the rambling sex scene.

And it was also the first time that Ma Yufei truly felt the evil of gunshots...

In the cinema,

Someone is crying.

Ma Yufei was very sure that the cry was moved by the historical situation and had no essential connection with the film!

What was in Ma Yufei's mind was speculation.

Yes, the audience is moved by a perceptual perception. Even if there is no story and lack of ideas, people can still be shocked. This has contributed to the speculative success of this film.

The movie continues, and the suspected protagonist who appears in it, Ma Yufei may call him this way - Kadokawa beats civilians to death, but begins to show his humanity.

The movie shifted from selling massacres at the beginning to selling humanity.

The entire film is described from his perspective starting from his self-reflection, interspersed with various complex emotions to highlight the noble enthusiasm of patriotism. The drumbeats and laughter at the end of the film are the two most ambiguous images, as if they are glad that the film is over.

After watching it, Ma Yufei felt very stressed in the theater, and he was even a little angry.

In Ma Yufei's view, there is a problem with the logic of the film.

Because of the structure of the entire movie, Ma Yufei was very sad after watching the movie.

"Why did the Japanese army massacre the city?

When the Japanese army entered Nanjing, bullets would fly from every corner of the streets and alleys at any time. The Japanese were enraged and the massacre began.

One of them had a conscience and committed suicide. "

——This is the truth that Ma Yufei saw.

It seems to help the aggressors beautify their aggression. This may be too strong a word, but the task of reflecting on their behalf has been accomplished.

The moment you walk out of the theater.

"Is the director a descendant of a rhino? A bastard!"

"I can't understand, rb is not a human being, why should he be made into a human being?"

"Why is a history that makes the whole people share the same hatred be interpreted like this by this director? He has bad intentions! Damn it!"

"A nation that has not apologized or even acknowledged this period of history, why should we use our movies to atone for their sins?"

Ma Yufei heard someone make such a comment.

Back home, Ma Yufei couldn't bear it anymore.

He immediately started writing,

After consulting relevant information, I made the most severe criticism of this movie!

……

That afternoon.

Public opinion online has exploded.

"Where is the spirit of resistance in "Nanjing, Nanjing"? In the national troops hiding among civilians? Or in those stigmatized people or women?!"

"Before the premiere, I thought "Nanjing" would be the same as "Xiu Chun Knife", in which small characters would experience resistance and death, but I didn't expect that I only saw sex scenes and Japanese humanity."

"Lucuan, you have no heart!"

Only half a day after its release, the online reviews of "Nanjing Nanjing" exploded in an instant.

Public opinion about this movie on blogs, NetEase, Tianya, and all forums suddenly became the most important hot spot in the industry.

Luc Chuan, who was insulted by countless people, accepted an interview urgently, claiming that he was not prepared for the venting of nationalist sentiments.

Regarding the emotional difficulty that some Chinese people had in accepting this movie, Lu Chuan claimed that he was ready.

"Be prepared to be pierced by thousands of arrows."

And with an extremely puzzled, confused and contemptuous expression, he asked the reporter questions that he did not understand.

"The core of my film is the struggle of the Chinese people and the self-rescue of the Chinese people. As a creative collective, we can bear the pressure and bring the history of Chinese resistance to everyone. How can we sympathize with the invaders?"

Regarding whether to beautify and sympathize with the Japanese, Lucuan responded very harshly.

"I don't mean to sympathize with him, I just think from a different perspective. Because we used to always describe the Japanese in the war as devils. Frankly speaking, this is an excuse for them.

Because if a mentally ill person kills someone, he does not need to be punished; if a devil kills someone, he does not need to be punished.

I have read a lot of information, including the diaries of the Japanese soldiers, which proves that even if they are in a state of massacre, they are not devils, they are normal.

In the middle of the diary, such as the period when the massacre was the most brutal, they wrote in a clear and calm manner. They also did not forget to describe the scenery, the chickens, ducks and fish they picked up, what delicious food they made today, and what was next door. The people in the class captured a few more women and tied them there. They would hear some noise at night. If they still write these things, they are not devils.

My film just restores them to human beings - I think it is the most terrifying thing for "human beings" to do such things. "

Lu Chuan's response did not make the audience's anger disappear, but intensified.

"The devil can never be defined by people. Every moment they fail to apologize, all devils must pay for this crime."

"If Lu Chuan wants more Japanese people to watch this movie, don't film the Nanjing Incident. If Lu Chuan wants the Chinese to recognize this movie, please know where your butt is sitting? We don't need Japan. People must learn to reflect, because condemnation is something that should be engraved in the bones of every Chinese!"

That afternoon, comments made by Zhao Zhengang, an 87-year-old survivor of the Nanjing Massacre, pushed the film directly to the forefront.

"The movie has its authenticity, but I feel that it is not so profound in revealing the cruelty of war and the fact that war separates wives and makes people heartbroken. From the perspective of Sino-Japanese friendship, I can still accept the film, but As a witness to history, I feel that no one in the world is as cruel as the Japanese fascists!"

As soon as this statement came out, the entire network was in an uproar.

As a survivor, he is the most qualified to evaluate this movie.

And his point of view is exactly the opposite of Lu Chuan's description.

The audience's condemnation swept the country in an instant.

Amid this overwhelming popularity, news related to "Painted Skin" is actually not that eye-catching.

Guan Ling was blocked by interviewers that afternoon.

When asked to evaluate "Nanjing Nanjing", Guan Ling said with a smile.

“I don’t think different voices online need to be labeled nationalistic, on the contrary, I think nationalism is not a bad word.

Ding Xiu in "Xiu Chun Knife" was chopping up the Tatars.

When Shen Lian killed Zhao Jingzhong.

At least we agree that the two parties who died are enemies and traitors.

Every piece of history deserves to be remembered, but it is never for us to reflect on them.

I think that if a movie were to film this incident, it would be fundamental to condemn the Japanese. "

After Guan Ling finished talking about his views, he started watching the show.

"Every piece of history deserves to be remembered, but it's never the victims who deserve to be reflected on."

By evening, Guan Ling's remarks in the interview instantly went viral on blogs and forums, arousing the approval of countless people.

And the reputation of "Nanjing Nanjing" quickly collapsed on the first day of its release!

"Guan Ling, you really dare to say that." Liu Yifei was shocked by Guan Ling's interview words, "Didn't you offend Lucuan? He must be very worried now."

"Is there anything you dare not say? Since you are interviewing me, I will just talk about my own opinions."

Guan Ling said nonchalantly on the phone,

"Besides, is there anything that Luc Chuan can't offend?

At that time, when he allowed the actors in this movie to use me to attract the audience and you to attract the attention, I was already very restrained in not getting angry. "

Liu Yifei felt warm in her heart.

But it's weird.

"Guan Ling is so sinister? Could it be that he was ready to fight back at that time?"

But for some reason, watching Jiang Yiyan's new movie and Luc Chuan's new movie half-dead, I felt really happy!

Liu Yifei almost laughed out loud.

"Hmph, you deserve it! I told you to use me and Guan Ling to attract the attention, so you can shoot yourself in the foot!"

Liu Yifei clenched her little fists, looked at the news on the Internet, exposed her little fangs, and thought fiercely.
