China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 272 ended just as it started, Yang Mi:?
"Hello Director Guan, there has been a lot of buzz recently about "Three Guns". What do you think of it?"

In the past few days, with the straight-line confrontation between "Three Guns" and "Taken", although the box office of "Taken" has steadily increased, the online comments are definitely that "Three Guns" has more, and it is indeed out of the circle.

In the eyes of those elites who have the right to speak, they obviously have higher requirements for movies.

They demand that movies have more fun and artistic pursuits.

Because a large number of people have begun to judge "Three Guns".

As a well-known writer, Han Han claimed that ""Three Guns" is a movie suitable to be shown in third-tier cities and counties." This man has a high emotional intelligence. While insulting the movie, he also carried out strafing attacks on counties in third-tier cities.

Hong Huang's speech was even more straightforward: "Whoever watches "Three Guns" will be scolded." Even when the TV station interviewed her, she went straight to the point, claiming that "Three Guns" was a great piece of garbage.

"This movie lacks both the creation of comic characters and the expression of social values. It can be said that it is a two-person movie specially made for Xiao Shenyang. At the same time, the director of "Wulin Gaiden" also added some martial arts elements for him. This makes this movie The movie does not have the vulgarity of a two-parter, nor does it lack the subversion of martial arts. As for the art and colors, it is nothing more than an extreme cover-up to prevent others from slapping him. "

"Everyone is criticizing "Three Guns". In fact, "Taken 2" has the same effect. A movie with a simple plot has no artistic value. But "Three Guns" has been criticized to the greatest extent. Insulting. "Taken 2" was selectively forgotten."

"The comments above make some sense, but "Rescue 2" brought a lot of pleasure to the audience after all. And "Three Guns" is indeed a bit eye-catching."

Hou Xiaoqiang, another media person and CEO of Shanda Literary Network, shared the same sentiment. He believed that "the beauty of Three Guns lies not only in the comedy, but also in the tragic lives of those humble characters. Seeing the sentient beings on that Nanpo stage Their miserable and humble lives are ours, our miserable and endless lives.”

"I disagree. At least I was smiling like a fool in the cinema."

"This world is not only filled with delicacies, delicacies, and affordable fried noodles. We must allow the diversity of species in this world. Even movies have diversity."

“I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I kind of know something.

Originally, the box office was pretty good, but due to a fight between the boss and the second child, I ended up doing it.

At that time, I encountered a fight between Huayi and Lingyun Media.

Comments online are diverse;
But it is obvious that there is a fierce conflict between some viewers and the so-called high-end people.

Brother Chen Kai thought of the movie "Mei Lanfang" that he shot and released last year.

"Delicacies from the mountains and seas, delicious food, or cheap noodles? Zhang Yimou lowered his status, perhaps because of his confidence.

"Director Guan, do you mean that you are also a member of the gun-protecting faction?"

Guan Ling was still blocked by reporters.

I understand everyone's expectations for director Zhang Yimou, but I think a movie needs to hear more real voices.

Some people said that the things I photographed were vulgar, but I didn’t refute them at the time.

Many viewers believe that this movie can make them feel relaxed and happy, at least to enjoy some relaxation after get off work.

There were even data surveys conducted by relevant media, and more than half of them thought this movie made people laugh.

"Why is "The Promise" bad? It's because the audience thinks it's not good to watch. Whether "Three Guns" is bad or not, the audience has the final say."

"I didn't say this," Guan Ling joked, "Of course I hope that "Three Guns" will fail at the box office so that I will have no competitors. But from a personal perspective, with the current scale of the Chinese film industry As long as the movie sells and makes money, it will definitely contribute to China’s film industry, because the audience needs to be drawn back to the cinema.”

Soon, Guan Ling attracted many hot searches on the Internet.

Many viewers think that film critics are a bit cruel to Zhang Yimou. In fact, there is no need to put words such as nobility and responsibility on him. He can shoot whatever he likes, as long as the audience likes it.

"Guan Ling is actually a "gun-protecting faction"? Is this a mutual sympathy among the top directors in the country?"

Although Guan Ling was joking, his attitude was actually quite obvious.

Even so, when the reporter discovered Guan Ling's Weibo, he quickly set out to find Guan Ling.

"What does it have to do with me?
What has it got to do with me?
I have no movie to be released, and I have not been interviewed at all. Why am I being used as a gunman? "

Facts have proved that the movie achieved a very high box office that year and attracted a large number of fans to Liu Yan.

Looking at the reporter in front of him who looked like a spear and a cannon, Guan Ling thought for a moment and responded:

His eyes widened.

It ended with Guan Ling's last words refusing to be interviewed.

What Director Zhang is doing now is no different from the movies I made back then. Whether it’s a bad movie or not, if the audience likes it, it’s already a high praise. "

"Guan Ling hopes that "Three Guns" will fail at the box office, so there will be no competitors!"

But I can share a story with you,
When I was filming "Shark Beach", I spent the shortest possible time saying that I wanted to make a real commercial film.
As a result, the first independent female protagonist appeared in a disaster film with a box office of over 100 million, creating a new type of Chinese film.

"The battle between elegance and vulgarity is a battle for the right to speak. Guan Ling claims that the audience's attitude is the key criterion for the quality of a movie."

It is worth noting that there are many elites hiding among ordinary netizens who express their favorable impressions. For example, He Li, a well-known media person and editor-in-chief of "Caijing" magazine, had a different feeling after watching "Three Guns": I just finished watching "Three Guns" and I had mixed feelings. Faced with such a complex and difficult reality in China, Zhang Yimou is powerless, perhaps unable, or incapable of direct attention and expression, so he can only join in another "spoof"? "Three Guns" may implicitly try to mirror the twisted and ugly human nature with the present - is this an existential movie? Is it "hell for others", or is our heart the devil's favorite breeding ground?

Brother Chen Kai was in a good mood. After seeing the news, he suddenly felt numb.

What is a dispute between elegance and vulgarity is actually a battle for the right to speak. Some people like to use artistry to flaunt the high-end of what they are watching, so that others can admit that the things they are watching are low-end. This makes you look high-end, which in itself is a form of high self-esteem.

"Man, you are so shameless!"

Why was "The Promise" criticized in the first place? It's because the audience thinks he's not good-looking.

Is this outrageous enough? !
Why is there still such a fight between two movies this year? The key is that I don’t even have a movie, and I was dragged out for a walk.

Why did "Three Guns" cause controversy? It's because some people think he's good-looking.

Netizen "Pippapapa" said: "I watched "Three Guns" with a few friends, and the scolding was deafening. I watched it last night and laughed a dozen times. After watching it, I think it's not bad. It's the 21st century. , Nonsensical is almost out of fashion, and people cannot classify Lao Mouzi as old-school based on age. In addition, this is a big platter of clowns, and every clown performs well, which of course makes people laugh! Movies belong to the entertainment industry, and if people are happy, they are the biggest winners.”

I haven't seen it, so I won't describe the content of the movie.

Under continued questioning by reporters, Guan Ling claimed to respect the enthusiasm of ordinary audiences to buy tickets and enter the theater.

Brother Chen Kai expressed discomfort from the bottom of his heart.

……

The film industry is staring at these two movies.

With the withdrawal of "Wind and Cloud 2" and "Call of Death" on the verge of death, the remaining two films have become the objects of study and attention for all producers.

So when I learned that Guan Ling had been interviewed.

Many people read the comments, and in the end everyone's attitude towards Guan Ling was expressed in just two words.

pattern.

What did Director Guan say?
These words are really like a breath of fresh air.

Respect Zhang Yimou, respect the audience, criticize those who flaunt artistry and values, and directly define the so-called battle between elegance and vulgarity as a battle for the right to speak.

It’s simply seen through.

Netizens liked it like crazy.

"What should I do if I have started to look forward to Director Guan's own movies? "Source Code", "Inception", "Father Trapped in Time", a domestic science fiction, a Hollywood science fiction, and one of the three major hits Award-winning movies, both artistic and commercial, what can director Guan bring to us?”

"I have written down what Director Guan said, and we must allow the diversity of species in this world." "I just want to know, with these words of Director Guan, are you really not afraid that your movie's box office popularity will be taken away?"

The audience all believed that they were represented by Guan Ling, and they were represented willingly.

"Director Guan is right. As long as we like to watch a movie, it has merit."

"How can we owe him a movie ticket for such a good director? I have decided that I originally planned to see "Three Guns", but this ticket will be given to Guan Guan's movie."

As the audience's evaluation of Guan Ling becomes higher and higher, many comments are reflected on "Hurricane Rescue 2".

Upon seeing this, Lingyun Media immediately launched an overwhelming publicity offensive, giving "Rescue 2", which has recently been slightly less popular, a breakthrough.

It caused a climax in the box office of "Taken 2".

……

"This time Guan Ling's evaluation did not add fuel to the fire, but it was quite good."

New picture.

Zhang Yimou saw Guan Ling's comments and smiled knowingly. After all, this was a film competition. If Guan Ling directly criticized "Three Guns", they would have to suffer.

But Guan Ling didn't.

"Don't praise him, I'm very worried."

Zhang Weiping was obviously confused, "This guy talks about justice, but secretly he doesn't give in to the film schedule at all. "Wind and Cloud 2" has not been scheduled, it has been withdrawn, and the other party actually wants to schedule more movies."

"The other party's box office is higher than ours, so it's normal to continue to put pressure."

Zhang Yimou himself didn't care much. In his mind, losing to Guan Ling, and it was a Hollywood blockbuster owned by Guan Ling, was not a shameful thing.

On the contrary, Zhang Weiping was more excited.

"He puts pressure on film arrangements and is a good person on the Internet." Zhang Weiping said, "This guy is getting more and more tactful, but I can't blame anyone. Business is business. If it were me, I might not even want to say nice things. Tell me."

"That's right," Zhang Yimou patted Zhang Weiping on the shoulder.

"After all, it is a temporary movie. Next, we will perfect the script of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". Yan Geling has come back, just to revise Liu Heng's script. This is the key point."

"As for the Lunar New Year show, the second best at the box office is the second best."

"What you said is simple," Zhang Weiping said speechlessly, "It's like we want to get first place, but we can't get it."

Zhang Yimou:......

……

In the next few days, theaters will arrange the number of films at any time based on the box office, which can be said to have completely pushed "The Tomb" into a desperate situation.

Major theater chains also understand this. The film schedule and box office of "Rescue 2" have also increased rapidly, and the box office performance has become increasingly strong.

Time has entered the second week.

A single-day box office of over 2 million has become the standard for "Taken ", and occasionally it can hit the level of nearly million.

The entire industry was dumbfounded.

This box office makes it impossible to say anything else.

The box office of "Three Guns" is also rising steadily, but the rate of increase is not as fast as that of "Taken".

however,
That's not the most shocking point at all.

"Taken 2" has also blossomed with vitality in Hollywood, Hong Kong, and the Asia-Pacific region.

In Hollywood, the release of "Taken 2" attracted a large number of fans of the first film to watch the movie, and it earned an excellent result of US$5000 million in its first weekend.

The "four shows" of "showing fists, showing family affection, showing IQ, and showing scenery" helped the film achieve the outstanding result of over 3 million U.S. dollars in global box office in just days in its first week of release.

When the news spread back to China.

Everyone was confused.

This news has made various viewers start to choose "Hurricane 2".

Then a virtuous cycle was formed.

In South Korea, "Taken 2" directly won the box office championship in its first week of release.

In Hong Kong, it even crushed "The Storm 2" which has not been withdrawn in Hong Kong.

Cheng Long and Liu Yifei, a father and daughter pair, have formed a Chinese brand IP with brand symbols in the outside world.

"The hand-to-hand combat, chases, racing, and gun battles are all without interruption from beginning to end. The emotional scenes are also very full. Compared with the previous film, Cheng Long is getting stronger and more powerful, and even his daughter has the potential to wield a gun and punch. She is expected to be in the next one In the end, I was really shocked by the beautiful scenery in the film, and I really want to visit Istanbul!”

"Unlicensed racing and super cool human GPS is very cool!"

In Japan, within three days, the number of moviegoers for "Hurricane 2" reached 15, which was a direct hit at the box office.

When the news from abroad came back, all the disputes between elegance and vulgarity were shut up.

Is "Hurricane 2" vulgar?

It’s hard for everyone to see any artistry in it.

But what can you guys say about this achievement?

In the second week of its release, major portal websites were completely swept up by the news about "Hurricane 2".

Now Zhang Weiping was not angry at all.

Lying flat.

"Competition for the Lunar New Year stalls?"

Competition is nothing, it’s over as soon as it begins!
……

"Director Guan, come again."

In the room where Yang Mi has been fighting.

Yang Mi pinched Guan Ling unhappily,

"I said Director Guan, can you please work hard? I just started and you ended it?"

Guan Ling rolled his eyes at her, pointed at the watch on his hand and began to convince her with reason.

"This is called the beginning, is this called the beginning? It's been more than twenty minutes, is this called the beginning?"

"I'm not in place yet anyway." Yang Mi hugged her arms and hummed.
