China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 321 What is a masterpiece of bad movies?
On the evening of January 2011, 1, Da Tiantian, who did not listen to Li Yu's advice, was fully armed, disguised as an ordinary audience, and became the first batch of viewers of "Tai Ping Wheel".

At the beginning, Da Tiantian’s expectations were quite high.

Everyone said that this was Wu Baige's return to the top of his game, and it was shot with great care.

Wu Baige also confidently claimed that this was the Eastern version of "Titanic".

"Titanic" is a hallmark in the history of world cinema. It is obviously a clichéd story, but it was forced to be made into an unconventional and timeless classic.

As a very well-known director, Wu Baige must be ashamed.

He dared to compare world classics such as "The Wheel" and "Titanic". Da Tiantian was willing to believe that Wu Baige was onto something this time.

But... when the movie started, she realized that she was thinking too much.

Wu Baige's comparison of "Tai Ping Wheel" and "Titanic" does not mean anything, it can only show that Wu Baige is shameless.

The direction of the story is basically consistent with what Li Yu predicted.

It can only be said that Wu Baige is still the same Wu Baige, with familiar taste and familiar formula.

When she left the cinema, Da Tiantian had a black question mark face.

Early the next morning, she came to Li Yu to complain with two dark circles under her eyes.

Moreover, the emotional scenes and war scenes are very awkward.

The war scenes are an enhanced version of the anti-Japanese drama.

As a result, the movie gave her the same nausea and discomfort as if she had accidentally eaten a fly.

No one boarded the ship until the end of the first part.

After watching this video, she wanted to shout, "Geneva, give me your money back!" ! !
After returning, she thought about life for a night.

The plot keeps switching back and forth between war and emotions.

How stupid is she to watch this super long trailer that lasts for more than two hours at night and still can't find a single good point?

"I regret not listening to you, I shouldn't have gone to see "The Wheel".

Continuing to watch, Da Tiantian found that what was even more suffocating was yet to come.

The role played by Song Qiaohui and the scenes with Lei Yifang were very poor and full of flaws.

The name of the movie is "Peace Wheel", but in the more than two hours of the movie, everything is foreshadowing.

She spent real money to go to the cinema and watch movies in order to make herself comfortable and feel good.

This kind of plot makes Da Tiantian, the audience who spent money to buy movie tickets, very uncomfortable.

She felt cheated.

In the movie, it is said that Lei Yifang wanted to retreat, but the leader refused to let him go, and then through the inner monologue of Lei Yifang's character, he used the inner monologue of the character to change his ways to make the situation dark.

From the beginning, Wu Baige's butt was crooked.

The emotional scenes are fake, explicit, and superficial, and some of the lines are as disgusting and shocking as those in "Red Cliff".

The well-known East Asian actresses that Wu Baige spent a lot of money to invite did not play the role of icing on the cake at all.

It really sucked, the beach and the boat didn’t show up for over two hours.

I felt like I had watched more than two hours of war documentaries, and they were really bad ones. "

Da Tiantian feels that the worst decision she made this year was to spend money to watch "The Wheel" in the theater.

Li Yu joked in a gloating tone: "Tiantian, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences in front of you.

I told you "The Wheel" is a super bad movie, why do you have to be so stubborn about it?

My vision for screening scripts is recognized by industry insiders and audiences. "

Li Yu definitely wasn't bragging.

Even if he hasn't seen the answer, with his current ability and vision, he can still see that "The Wheel" is a bad movie. Da Tiantian was confused: "I don't understand how a great international director could degrade to this level."

Among the great directors at the same level, Wu Baige's degradation rate is indeed the fastest, bar none.

However, Li Yu believes that regression is only one of the problems, and the biggest problem is probably choice.

Li Yu frowned slightly and said in a steady and powerful voice: "It doesn't matter whether we retreat or not, I am still what I said before, a director who became famous for making police and gangster movies.

He abandoned the subject matter he was best at and went to make blockbusters, and the ones he made were historical blockbusters that Hong Kong directors are least good at.

What's even worse is that they clearly don't understand history or historical narrative, yet they are so confident that they stuff a lot of self-righteous stuff into the movie.

You said, isn't he looking for death by doing this?

He doesn't respect the audience, and the audience will naturally not respect him. "

In the final analysis, the director structure there is too small and cannot handle such a grand theme.

Li Yu didn't mean to look down on him at all, he just wanted to express his specialization in the art.

Hong Kong's police and criminal films and gangster films are definitely world-class. Let Li Yu compete with them on this track, and Li Yu has no confidence to beat them.

The classic example is "Infernal Affairs".

Hollywood bought the remake rights of "Infernal Affairs" and made a remake of "The Departed", inviting many world-famous movie stars such as DiCaprio to participate.

To be honest, the remake of "The Departed" is much worse than "The Departed".

However, "The Departed" won four awards at the 79th Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing.

He has also won numerous awards at the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards.

The Hollywood team's remake of a worse version can win so many awards, which shows how strong Hong Kong films are in this field.

However, directors from Hong Kong are now unable to produce films of the level of "Infernal Affairs".

They also began to decline in the areas they were best at.

After listening to Li Yu's analysis, Da Tiantian nodded seriously. She looked at Li Yu's eyes and said, "Then Wu Baige will definitely attack the street this time."

"It's not just a hit on the street. Let me put it aside. His "Taiping Wheel" will cost at least 30 to 200 million.

After this movie, if anyone dares to invest in his movie again, I will call him a warrior. "

……

On the 15th, the first-day figures for "Tai Ping Wheel" came out, and the box office was only 2500 million.

For a movie with an investment of more than 2 million, this result cannot be said to be a complete success, but at least it can be said to be cool.

Another day passed, and "The Wheel", which had only been released for two days, began to decline, with only 2300 million left at the box office.

"It's amazing, Li Yu, your ability to predict is really amazing. "Tai Ping Wheel" really jumped into the sea.

It's been two days, and the box office hasn't even reached 5000 million. It's really not even as good as "The Ex." "

Da Tiantian admired him.

He was completely convinced by Li Yu's vision.

Compared with the sluggish performance, the drama reviews given by real audiences for "Tai Ping Huan" are even more exciting.

"It's a masterpiece of a movie, but it's a masterpiece of bad movies."

"I was very disappointed after watching the premiere. The main plot was messy, the plot was cheesy, the transitions were even stiffer, and the lines were as contrived as ever. At this level, do you have the nerve to make money by dividing the upper and lower parts? I think the director should quit the show, and don't embarrass yourself again. ”

"I want to be able to use a golden cast of famous East Asian actors such as Kim Seong-wu, Kuk Kwa Jang, Song Qiao-hye, etc. to make a movie that has emotions but not emotions, a plot but not plot, a picture but not pictures, and music but not music, and still be shameless. I’m afraid the only director who will be releasing the film in two parts is Wu Baige, right? I really admire your old face.”

"Aren't you guys making a fool of yourself above? There's obviously no flaws at all, because the movie itself is a deep groove."
