China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

[4500 words after modification, refresh, just reviewed]

Throughout the month of August, there was constant news in the entertainment industry.

The first thing, of course, is the series of actions taken by the film industry. Many previously promoted films have finally been released all at once.

Under the overwhelming pressure of Guan Ling's power, more news in the entertainment industry is still focused on Guan Ling's new TV series and her upcoming trip to the water city of Venice.

In fact, the attention paid to other movies released in China is not that high.

But even so, it still caused a huge uproar on the Internet, because from "The Lion Roars 2" to "I Love Big Big Wolf", the Internet was full of condemnation of those who made such fraudulent movies, and it soon became a collective attack by most movie fans in the entertainment industry.

In terms of the box office, the release of "The Lion Roars 2" and "The Listener" only slightly affected "Uncharted" and "Ice Age 4", but it was not a big problem.

On the contrary, the reviews of these two movies have their own merits.

Known as an inspirational love comedy, The Lion Roars 2 was originally considered by many viewers to be a comedy that would make them laugh out loud because of the presence of Xiao Shenyang and Zhao Benshan.
But it made many viewers cry.

Especially at the end of the film, the scene where Xiao Shenyang pursued Zhang Baizhi and refused to give up moved many audiences.

The combination of Xiao Shenyang + Zhang Baizhi really surprised the audience that they were both a "laugh machine" and a "tear gas bomb".

The film finally earned 30 million at the box office in the first three days of its release.

The results are quite good.

Especially on the 2012rd of 23, along with the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day, the film "The Lion Roars 2" became the first choice for many couples to go to the cinema. It even set off a new round of "The Lion Roars" movie-watching craze.

According to industry forecasts, the film's producers expect the film's box office to exceed 100 million yuan.

Some people on the Internet also began to defend Zhang Baizhi.

"Everyone says that my Zhang Baizhi is a box office poison. Do you still praise her for her current performance?"

"Your Zhang Baizhi must have called you that a lot."

"My Zhang Baizhi is really amazing. Although the results of her previous filmings were not ideal, her personality is really versatile. Sometimes she can be gentle and virtuous, and sometimes she can play a strong woman who can 'roar like a lion'."

"I really agree with this. It's really versatile. She can wear light blue clothes and pose for photos, and she can also..."

"I have a question. Why is the box office of a movie shot by a Hong Konger all from the Northeast? Is the Northeastern Wang so strong?"

Some people also questioned the national distribution of the box office, but they were quickly reported and banned by the film producers, causing quite a stir.

After Douban started to rate the film, "The Lion Roars 2" received a high score of 3.1.

At the same time, the reviews for this movie are finally not just good, but bad, and they can’t be blocked...

"Whether you look at it or not, One Star is there!"

"This lineup makes me sick. Can you give me back a happy childhood?"

"Better than "Warring States"!"

"There are always a few days every month when I feel like poking my eyes out."

"If you don't want to see what Zhang Baizhi looks like in ancient costume, who would watch this crappy movie? Ugh!"

"Are Gu Tianle and Xiao Shenyang really of the same level? How embarrassed is Gu Tianle?! Bai Zhi, how low have you fallen?"

"It's the movie version of Liu Laogen's stage. Come if you dare!"

"Fuck, I really want to poke out my 24K titanium dog eyes. Fuck, I heard that The Lion Roars in the East is going to have a 2nd season, and I was looking forward to all the fresh and warm scenes, but fuck, the director team decisively found more than one 2x actor to act in it to give me a wake-up call, and then all the protagonists played soy sauce and other soy sauce to support the scene. What are you trying to do?"

Some netizens also gave long comments that left people speechless:
“My ears exploded!

When I was in college, I was obsessed with movies and games. I sat in front of the computer all day with earplugs. Unfortunately, I suffered from ear disease for a while.

The doctor warned me that I might become deaf, which scared me so much that I quickly paid out two months’ living expenses for my treatment.

The ear disease healed soon, but the mental illness remained. Whenever I felt something strange in my hearing, my heart would beat faster, for fear that the nightmare would happen again.

I haven't had this worry for several years, but it unexpectedly broke out today when I was watching "The Lion Roars 2", which made me quite nervous.

After a careful examination at the hospital, it was found to be a false alarm.

It turns out that the sound effects of this film are not authentic. The dialogues were recorded in post-production. There are sound effects of weapons and fists and feet during fights, and there is also background music that never stops. However, an important part of movie sound is missing: ambient sound.

I didn't pay attention to it at first, but as I watched, I always felt that something was missing in my hearing, like the "filtering" feeling when the speaker plug is not plugged in tightly. My heart sank, and I suddenly thought that there was something wrong with my ears and I had lost part of my auditory nerves.

In fact, this kind of viewing experience with missing auditory elements is not unfamiliar. Early sound films in the late 20s and early 30s were limited by simple recording technology and usually only focused on the actors' dialogues and important sound effects that played a key role in the plot. It was common to see people walking, putting things down, and closing doors without any sound, and the author could just laugh it off.

But in the 21st century when film technology is highly developed, such strange effects still appear, which really surprises me.

Of course, the fact that we can experience this unexpected thrill in a comedy is thanks to the dream combination of the Errenzhuan master and apprentice and Zhang Duyao.

I just want to ask, will anyone reimburse me for my ear treatment? ! "

The words are sharp, pointing directly to the sincerity of the film editing.

The key point is that it would have been better if this matter had not been mentioned. After it was said, countless people immediately began to agree, because everyone also felt that something was wrong.
All of a sudden, bad reviews came one after another!
“There is no sincerity and no bottom line! It is just a simple repetition of the previous work, without any new ideas.

I was unlucky enough to see such a bad movie.
You didn't even handle the character of the heroine Wang Yueying well. You have to call her a little woman? Are you sick or am I?
When I was young, I watched The Lion Roars in the East and I will always remember Zhang Baizhi's heart-wrenching roar.
At that time, I knew that the Hedong Lion Roar must be a very profound martial art.

Although I didn't understand it at that time, I felt from the bottom of my heart that the two leading actors were a talented man and a beautiful woman.

But what about the male lead of this drama? What dimension is he from? Every time I see him speak, I think he is going to forget his lines.
Those wretched little eyes don't look like those of a wise person, and for no apparent reason, sparks flew between the two of them.

The lines between him and Uncle Benshan are just like the dialogue between two extremely vulgar and boring old men. They are only suitable for skits. They didn't even participate in the Spring Festival Gala and came to make such a rubbish movie. Is this really a comedy? What kind of mess of people are gathered together? Are they trying to cheat? !
Sima Kong is the only man in this play.

I am a very tolerant movie lover.
Actually, I have always liked Zhang Baizhi. I like The Savage Secret, One Nite in Mongkok and The Promise.
I really think she is pretty, but I think this movie is not good enough. Her expression is so stiff, like an old lady from the street. Her purity is gone forever.

From today on, my filter is completely shattered."

This film review was even more powerful. Even the audience who could tolerate "The Promise" angrily criticized this movie as a bad one. Many viewers who decided whether to watch a movie based on the reviews immediately withdrew from the cinema.

I can't take it anymore.

After cheating the box office for a few days, even in the Northeast, Wang’s promotion in this place has an advantage, and the performance of this movie is still undoubtedly declining.

Thirty million in the first three days, four million on the fourth day, and it looks like the total box office will reach 50 million, which would be a great fortune.

……

The reviews of "The Listener" are at least a little bit normal.
And because Zhou Xun is the lead actress in this movie, many people are willing to pay for her.

In the past two years, Zhou Xun has starred in six movies, and all of them have grossed over 100 million yuan.

And "The Listener" is obviously among them.

On the first day of its release, the box office grossed 2100 million.

After the first weekend at the box office, the film's box office had already reached 1.5 million yuan.

It finally created the best start for domestic spy films, and pulled "Uncharted" off the weekly championship list.

Successfully climbed to the top.

After the reputation of "The Lion Roars 2" declined, it directly drained the screenings and attendance of this movie.

However, "The Listener" is not a blockbuster that people love to watch, so "Uncharted" and "Ice Age 4" continue to climb the list with their family-friendly style.

It’s not like the other films are completely without the ability to breathe.

It is somewhat surprising that the spin-off of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" "I Love Big Big Wolf" is still as powerful as before despite the change of the main character.

"Big Bad Wolf" still retains its king-like demeanor, with the box office reaching 1200 million on the first day. As of 12:18 on the 3600th, the national box office in the first three days had reached nearly million.

《我爱灰太狼》这个成绩虽无法与年初《喜羊羊与灰太狼4》首周末7300万相提并论，但接近《喜羊羊与灰太狼2》的4500万，这也表明该系列电影在暑期档的成功。目前暑期档国产动画片中，累计票房最好的分别为《麦兜当当伴我心》的4820万、《赛尔号2》的3280万和《摩尔庄园2》的2570万。

Based on the first week’s box office results, if the trend continues, the industry predicts that "I Love Big Big Wolf" is likely to become the box office champion for domestic animated films during the summer.

A lot of adjectives...

Guan Ling felt helpless when he saw the slogans that others came up with for publicity.

There wasn't much emotion though.

In fact, although Ling's "Even if the Wind Rises" supports the appearance of domestic animation,

However, it is still difficult for the domestic animation industry to change from being childish overnight.

Moreover, some parents themselves need childish movies to entertain their children.

but……

The first few minutes of "I Love Big Big Wolf" are animated.
Why did you travel to the human world?
Why is the following a real-life movie?!

The audience all cursed!

This isn't the way to cheat someone out of money, right?!

Nowadays, many children actually like Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and everyone understands.

Because I have seen several previous Big Big Wolf movies on TV,

Most families with children will like it very much, so many parents naturally think that it can't be too bad.

Then I took my child into the cinema.
Except for the first few minutes, everything was normal. But later on, many people were shocked by the food being burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

There was a lot of cursing online.

Damn, this is called an animation? Damn, this is the propaganda film that is made every day on TV? Damn, how dare they make it worse? Damn, have original animations run out of ideas? Damn, are there water in their brains? Damn, is the person who gave this idea chronically constipated? Otherwise, how could they make such garbage that makes people constipated!!!!!!!!!

Some viewers directly flooded the screens of various Internet platforms with "Nima seven consecutive times!", which could summon a bad review!
Many viewers said they couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Even the children couldn't bear to watch it anymore and shouted for their parents to go home.
When the movie started, the kids in the cinema were chattering, but towards the end, they were basically silent.

Some viewers cried out in pain: Original animation, here is a piece of advice for you, don’t over-consume the audience. Otherwise, one day you will be abandoned by the audience!!!
It even became a hot topic on Weibo.

Guan Ling couldn't hold back when he saw the news.

However, the numerous praises Guan Ling had received for domestic cartoons at the beginning of the year actually dealt a heavy blow to domestic cartoon fans after this movie.

“Even dogs won’t watch Chinese animation!”

Guan Ling’s value is still rising.

Guan Ling was also helpless about this!

He didn't mean to fire at the map cannon, but the point is that you guys can't do that either!

He had a knife, but it was nothing to stop someone from leaning forward and shouting.

"Who dares to kill me?!

Is your knife sharp? ! "

...

The public opinion pressure on "The Whisperer" is obviously better, after all, it is the same group that filmed "Infernal Affairs".

If you really say it's bad, it's definitely not that bad.

However, unlike "Uncharted", the main plot of this movie is not obvious enough, and the whole movie is a bit bland, with no climax at all...

Douban scored 7 points, which is considered average.

The film market fell into a brief downturn again.

Until "Uncharted" reached ninth place in the mainland box office.

There is news that Guan Ling's first mainland zombie blockbuster "Hong Kong Trip" which he wrote and directed is suspected to have been completed.

A bang!
The audience was all excited.

"Will it be able to catch up with the Lunar New Year holiday?!"

"It seems a bit difficult! Besides, the Lunar New Year movies are all family-friendly, who would watch a zombie movie?"

"I don't think we have to wait until June next year. I can't wait!"

Some netizens cried out "Alas!"

The audience has been hungry for too long, and they get excited when they see a new film.

Especially Guan Ling’s, and it’s a zombie movie that is the first of its kind in China!

King bomb posture!
In fact, there is no conclusion! This news actually topped the trending search list!

And more and more news began to emerge.

"Guan Ling personally admitted that only the main storyline popcorn movie entered the ninth place in the mainland movie box office ranking. Whose face did he slap?"

"There are thousands of Chinese directors, but they are all cowards at this moment!"

"There will only be one sun in Huayu!"

"Sun's new film is suspected to have been completed in Hong Kong!"

Guan Ling went to Weibo and quickly removed those trending searches related to the sun. This was unbearable.

The evening of July 8.

Li Yitong entered the room.

Guan Ling is leaving the crew tomorrow to go to BJ to attend the premiere of "Scarlet Witch" which will be premiered three days in advance.

Then he went to Europe to participate in the Venice Film Festival.
Li Yitong's face was full of anticipation.

She didn't know when they would meet again.
All I know is that although Guan Ling gave her the opportunity to play a glamorous role, it was not fixed after all.

I felt a little sad for a moment.

"When can we meet next time?"

"When you want to see me." Guan Ling stroked Li Yitong's smooth hair with one hand and said softly, "You are fine. Take good care of yourself."

Li Yitong nodded heavily.

"You too, try to win an award! After all, you are so awesome."

She stretched out her hands and made circles.

Li Yitong's face is still the epitome of sweetness and delicacy. Even in this state at this moment, no adjectives like coquettishness or the like emerged in Guan Ling's mind.

Just looking at her petite and delicate figure, my mouth felt slightly dry.

She graduated from Beijing Dance Academy. She has a flexible body and good posture, but she doesn't look coquettish, which is rare.

Seeing Guan Ling's gaze.

Li Yitong suddenly leaned close to Guan Ling and whispered.

"We're about to separate. Today... you can actually go a little too far." (End of this chapter)
