China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 422: The best love fantasy movie under the heart and soul!

"How much box office can this movie generate?"

Zhang Yimou's words stunned Jiang Wen. He was still immersed in thinking about the movie "Painted Skin 2".

During this period, the entire film market has been at a low level.
The entire Chinese film market, especially domestic films, has been depressed for several months.

Apart from "Taken 3", there was not even another movie that broke the million box office during the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival holidays.

The collapse of "Legend of the Dragon" made "Painted Skin 2" the only luxury blockbuster in the industry during this unpopular period. At least there is no movie competing with it.

Moreover, this movie has a super star lineup and the brand effect of the first film.

It is also a type of Chinese ancient costume fantasy action film, which is very attractive to audiences!
Considering this, the box office of this movie cannot be low at all.

The most important point is that the director of this film is Wuershan.

But everyone knows that Guan Ling is the screenwriter and also provided support and guidance.

All in all, this movie and Guan Ling are inextricably linked.

And Guan Ling just won the Oscar for Best Director.

It's like there are infinite buffs adding bonuses all the time!
Jiang Wen didn’t know how much box office this movie would earn, he just felt that it would definitely earn a lot.

“Can you surpass yourself?”

In a rare period, it earned nearly 500 million yuan? More than "Let the Bullets Fly"?
Jiang Wen actually didn't care, but since Zhang Yimou asked, he felt a little confused and a little skeptical. However, in his opinion, this movie at least exceeded the box office of Zhang Yimou's movies, so that was not a problem at all.

But he couldn't tell Zhang Yimou directly because he was too thin-skinned. Jiang Wen could only evade the question.
“I feel like it’s possible. This movie has a lot of potential.”

“‘The Flowers of War’ hasn’t been completely finished yet, and I feel like I’m going to be stuck on this beach.”

Zhang Yimou chuckled with a calm expression on his face, and it seemed that he did not suffer much of a shock.

But Jiang Wen didn't know how to respond.

He just said, "We still have The Flowers of War and the new script that Director Guan wrote for you. Director Zhang is not looking for a short-term box office performance. Now that the film market has improved and the market is bigger, more directors are emerging and getting good box office results is nothing new."

Having said that, both of them lost interest.

However, both of them probably know in their hearts that among the batch of films scheduled in March, Painted Skin 2 will definitely receive all the attention and gaze.

As for the box office performance, think about it, they will definitely be jealous, so it’s better not to think about it.

……

Gordon Chan is the person who is most familiar with the plot of Painted Skin 2. When Painted Skin 1 was being filmed, the script was also handed to him by Guan Ling.

It's just that he changed to a glamorous one in the middle.

So I didn't take any more photos.

But seeing "Painted Skin 2" shot by others at this moment did not affect his own feelings.

When he finished watching the movie, Gordon Chan was speechless.

Wuershan’s direction is very good, with no obvious flaws or loopholes. The picture quality and the visual effects provided by the special effects are also truly amazing, especially the 3D conversion, which makes people feel like they are in the scene.

"Painted Skin 2" was shot in 3D. Although it is pseudo-3D, many scenes can actually be watched in 2D. However, when it comes to some special effects such as the ice hell, skin-changing, and even intense emotional conflicts, 3D seems to have shortened the distance between the actors and the audience, making people feel like they are also on the screen.

The scenes where the actors were performing were right next to them.

“Nice new director.”

Chen Jiashang looked at the short-haired guy on the stage and sighed inwardly.

"Director Guan is really good at discovering new directors. This Wuershan should not be underestimated in the future!"

This new director has a touch of Chinese classical aesthetics that is rare among other directors.

The films he directed have a powerful audiovisual force, magnificent visual effects, shocking sounds and rich emotions.

This is something that few other directors have.

"At least in this play, Wuershan showed his talent to the fullest. It's just that the narrative is a little confusing, but it doesn't affect the overall situation."

Wang Changtian heard what Chen Jiashang said and echoed him.

“The culture of strange stories is splendid in itself. It’s not a bad thing if there are one or two directors who are good at it. After all, we may have this type of movie to make in the future.”

Chen Jiashang is now playing the role of Chen Guofu in the glamorous film. Although he is grateful for Wuershan's development, he is still mostly excited. He is in charge of overall planning and inevitably has to deal with directors in the industry.

Wuershan also provided him with a choice.

However, what surprised him most was Zhou Xun's performance.

She evolved.

After winning the four major film awards in 2010, Zhou Xun's performance in Painted Skin 2 was so subtle and gentle that it seemed as if she was Xiao Wei herself.
Xiao Wei, who was obsessed with becoming a human, was ultimately burdened by human emotions and turned into a mere shell.

A passionate heart that can bring people back to life.

A beautiful face that can make Huo Xin have evil intentions.

Eventually they became one.

It's hard to paint the skin, to paint a person or a tiger. You can know a person's face but not his heart.

This movie is about skin and heart, about soul and body.

But it was that aggressive question that left a deep impression on Chen Jiashang.

"Have you ever had human body temperature? Have you ever had a heartbeat? Have you ever smelled the fragrance of flowers? Can you see the color of the sky? Have you ever shed tears? Is there anyone in the world who loves you so much that he is willing to die for you?"

Perhaps from this moment on, the ending of this story was already determined.

A monster is a monster.

But the demon has transformed into a human.

What a lingering love story between Princess Jing and Huo Xin, and what a Xiao Wei who is willing to transform into a human.

From this moment on, Xiao Wei is already a human being.

Because she and the Sparrow Spirit are no longer the same kind of demons.

Yang Mi's acting is also really good.

Played a bird.

And a bad bird.

He glanced at Yang Mi, and also saw Guan Ling beside Yang Mi. The two of them were chatting and laughing, not nervous at all.

“It will definitely explode.”

Chen Jiashang whispered, and there was actually a trace of regret in his heart.

But the choice has been made, this movie has nothing to do with him anymore...

……

Among the audience, many film critics were moved by the ending of the movie, while those audiences were so moved by the tear gas in the movie that their eyes were filled with tears and their faces were covered with tear marks.

Ma Yufei wrote a sentence in his notebook. He had decided to post it on his account after the premiere.
"The best love fantasy movie of the heart and soul! The only thing missing is a moment between Princess Jing and Huo Xin that will be remembered forever!"

Unlike other film critics, Ma Yufei has already started earning kickbacks from Lingyun Media.

So he is not nitpicking.

Does this movie have any loopholes? Yes, but is it good? Yes, it is!

At least for today's film market, the temperament and even the plot of this movie are top-notch.

Wuershan’s commercial film debut was better than he expected!

He didn't know whether this movie could create a whirlwind of magical romance movies in the industry, but he knew that at this moment, he had to tell other audiences.

This movie is definitely worth the money!

Wuershan is also worthy of support!

This is the meaning of a film critic's existence, and he has never forgotten his original intention. He loves movies.

He also longs for love.

At least at this moment, he wanted to call on the audience to appreciate this deep and lingering relationship!
