Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 317: There is only one Director Chen now, Chen Kaige? Not familiar!

In this segment, Chen Linfeng found a way to confuse the audience.

In the camera, Zhang Qian led the group to set off with great fanfare, and the police also dispatched a large number of people to set up the scene in advance.

The language of the camera led everyone to misunderstand and think that this was going to be the final battle.

Who would have thought that the two sides were not in the same place and had different goals.

Later, when Zhang Qian was about to kill someone, the audience below became very anxious.

"Why are you so stupid? Can't you guard against the other party's cheating?"

"He is lying to you, go back and catch Zhang Qian!"

It is rare to see such a cruel and cunning villain.

They all wish they could get into the movie and give Ma Dong some advice.

Fortunately, Zhang Qian didn't have much luck this time.

Because the protagonist had given the target a bulletproof vest in advance and arrived in time, he failed to kill anyone.

But I did get the money and escaped smoothly.

However, at this time, Ma Dong also learned that Zhang Qian wanted to escape.

In the end, he successfully blocked Zhang Qian in the airport toilet.

Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The decisive battle was finally about to begin.

Such a brutal villain is so rare, and you can really feel the threat all the time.

The final battle was very enjoyable to watch.

The two sides fought a fierce battle in the toilet.

Although Zhang Qian is cruel, Ma Dong is much crueler than him.

Didn't give him any chance at all and kept suppressing him throughout the whole process.

The punches were fast, hard, and even agile.

Even if Zhang Qian found a convenient tool during the fight, he would not be able to gain the upper hand at all.

Finally, Ma Dong punched the opponent's elbow, dislocating Zhang Qian's arm and causing him to be given a silver bracelet.

Zhang Qian was still trying to get more aggressive, but was kicked in the leg and broke.

Even so, he couldn't give up his resistance.

There is no other choice but to give him a slap and send him to sleep.

"Fuck, that last part is so cool."

"Yes, this kind of ruthless person has to be dealt with by Ma Donglai."

The audience was having a great time watching the show. The more ruthless the villain was in the beginning, the more refreshing it was to watch in the end.

At the end of the premiere, the audience burst into warm applause, and the audience sitting further back whistled and cheered continuously.

Chen Linfeng led all the main creators to the stage to express their gratitude.

Zhang Yu sat still, thinking about how to write this film review.

This actor named Wang Qianyuan has great acting skills.

Including Wang Baoqiang, he can actually play a villain, and is not inferior to Wang Qianyuan at all, it's simply unbelievable.

These two actors created the conflict and tension of the plot entirely on their own. Of course, the director's guidance was also indispensable.

Also, Jiang Wu's performance is amazing. It's hard to imagine that he used to be a drama actor. He even relied on playing fools to win everyone's recognition for his acting skills.

Zhang Yu thought about it and felt inspired.

In other cinemas, as the movie ended, no one left the screening room. They waited until the BGM ended before leaving one after another.

"This movie is so good. It turns out that everything Chen makes is great."

"I always thought those people on the Internet were just bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true. I was a bit hasty."

A young couple walked down the aisle, excitedly exchanging their impressions of the film.

Chen Kaige sat quietly and listened to the conversation between the two. He felt very cool and refreshed.

It feels a bit far away.

His view on movies is different from Zhang Yu's, as he analyzes them more from the director's perspective.

Although he prefers art films, he watches quite a few Hollywood movies on a daily basis.

In his opinion, Xiao Chen's movie is a completely Hollywood style.

The pace is fast, and there are no particularly advanced techniques in terms of camera and editing, but the conflict in the story is very obvious.

The whole thing is very clear, from beginning to end, as to what to do and when.

You don't have to think too much to know that the audience will definitely like to watch this type of movie.

Chen Kaige really disliked this routine, as he felt it had no technical content at all and was purely a formulaic approach to answering questions.

Xiao Chen, how come you have fallen?

However, he knew in his heart that this way of playing was the most popular with the audience.

In Chen Kaige's view, it's not that he can't do it, he just disdains to do so.

At least, that's what he thought.

The audience around gradually dispersed after listening to the ending song.

Chen Kaige stood up slowly and felt a kind of strength in loneliness.

It was a wrong payment after all.

At the premiere, it was time for the audience to ask questions.

An audience member stood up and asked, "How did Wang Qianyuan act so viciously? What kind of person are you in real life?"

It seems that he has a deep memory of this villain.

Later, someone asked Jiang Wu, "Teacher Jiang Wu, do you know how to box in real life? I feel like you look very professional in the movie."

Someone also asked Wang Baoqiang, "You have always played honest and simple characters before, why did you make a 360-degree turn this time?"

Chen Linfeng felt very pleased because during the previous promotion process, he had always been the main focus and the presence of several other actors was not high.

However, from now on, there is obvious interest in several actors.

This is a good thing, as it shows that the characters in the movie really left a deep impression on them.

Chen Linfeng's feeling was right.

The next day's reports and film reviews praised the performances of several main characters.

There is none of that inconspicuous look he had before the movie was released.

Among the newspapers piled up at the newsstand, the headline of the entertainment edition of Southern Weekly Morning Post stood out:
"A Hollywood-style movie"

This film review took up most of the page and gave a comprehensive introduction to the movie "Police Incident".

“The script produced by Xiao Chen is as brilliant and solid as ever. After showing his artistic skills at the Venice Film Festival, this time he has ventured into the field of commercial films.

It seems that he is more adept in this area.

The use of camera is completely different from the previous movie, and the editing has become quick and crisp. Xiao Chen never disappoints in his field.

Before the film was released, the director said that he was making an action film that was different from previous ones, and obviously, he did it.

The realistic action scenes are easy to immerse people in. This kind of fighting scene that doesn't seem to have that many moves has a unique charm.

In this movie, it is not only the director who leaves a deep impression, but the actors are also an outstanding part.

The villain performances of Wang Qianyuan and Wang Baoqiang can be regarded as the best breakthrough acting skills this year.

One is not very famous, and the other is the "Shagen" and "Xu Sanduo" who used to be known for their simple and honest image, but when he plays a villain, he gives people a more thrilling feeling than those classic villains in the past. "

The report then launched a series of praises for the performances of several actors in the film.

They even praised Liu Qianqian's cameo as a female police officer in the film, saying that she added a touch of color to this male drama. It seems that the film critics are really satisfied with the performances of all the actors in the film.

Finally, the report gave an overall evaluation of the film:
"A movie that is definitely worth watching. It has a different temperament from previous Hong Kong films and mainland police and gangster films. It is a rare masterpiece in recent years. To some extent, it can serve as a perfect example of related types of films.

The most important thing is that you will definitely feel great watching this movie.

The confrontation between violence and violence, the quick and clean resolution of the opponent, after watching it, all the gloomy emotions will disappear.

This is a movie that will make you want to eat two more bowls of rice after watching it.”

Zhang Yu praised the movie highly and he really liked "Police Case".

Where there are praises, there are also those who criticize.

Among the film reviews in the Yanjing Xinbao, there was a long review that disparaged the excessive violence in the film and the director's filming techniques.

"This is a ridiculous movie, a representative of the degeneration of the director's art. Xiao Chen calls it a new type of action movie, but in the whole movie I only saw the protagonist resolve the fight with a slap. Where is the action?"

But fans who have watched this movie clearly take a positive stance.

The film was rated on a certain platform during the preview period and it received a score of nearly 9 points, which was obviously an over-rating by fans.

After the official release, the score slowly dropped, and after reaching 8.3 points, it gradually began to fluctuate.

After all, it is an action film that does not rely on plot to win. This score can be said to be much higher than other films of the same type.

Thanks to the support of domestic films in recent years.

On the afternoon of December 12, Qilin Studio received the box office data for the first day of the premiere.

Including the midnight show on the 4th, the film earned a total of 1300 million in box office revenue.

Attendance soared on Saturdays and Sundays, and box office revenue also increased accordingly, reaching 6500 million in the first weekend.

In contrast, "Mei Lanfang" grossed 4600 million yuan in its first weekend.

The two are not in direct competition, and because of the bundled promotion, the market has even been expanded to some extent, even more than in the previous life.

But the box office data of "Police Incident" still exceeded everyone's expectations, including Chen Linfeng.

His initial goal was to break 100 million.

However, the continuous promotional videos raised expectations, and the constant stream of hot topics was equivalent to constantly replaying the news that "Police Case" was going to be released in the audience's ears.

Coupled with large-scale previews, a method that people didn’t pay much attention to before, the reputation of the film has been greatly improved.

Chen Linfeng himself has too many fans and has his own box office appeal.

Even though he didn't appear in this movie.

Of course, the crimes committed by domestic directors in the past few years have also helped to raise the film’s ratings.

These multiple factors combined, each one is like a powerful pill, giving a boost to the box office growth.

As for Chen Linfeng's work this time, the scale is not large, and the actors are not particularly famous, so it did not create a blockbuster effect.

In addition, advance screenings are more likely to lead to the early appearance of piracy, although the audience's concept of genuine products has improved slightly nowadays.

After all, those born in the 80s have gradually entered society.

It is precisely because of these unfavorable factors that the box office performance is only at the level of previous blockbusters directed by big directors.

Otherwise, it might break a record.

Of course, in his opinion, this is not a bad thing. Word of mouth will be accumulated and released next time.

Besides, the box office this time was really beyond expectations.

Film and television media are more sensitive to the box office figures for the first weekend.

Although the first weekend box office of "Red Cliff" was higher than that of "Police Incident", the subsequent trend was not as good.

According to the cinema's predictions, the final box office results may be very close.

They were instantly excited. The box office champion in the first half of this year was "Red Cliff", and the final predicted results of the two were close.

Could it be that?
Wu Yusen spent tens of millions of dollars to shoot "Red Cliff".

Even without considering the exchange rate, the numbers in Xiao Chen's "Police Incident" are less than those in "Red Cliff".

If we really compare the costs, there is a huge difference. The two are not on the same level in terms of size.

But now, it is a situation of confrontation.

While the media were exaggerating the past grievances between Xiao Chen and Wu Yusen in their reports, they were also continuing to follow the box office performance of "Police Case".

As for Director Da Chen, who was mentioned together with Director Xiao Chen at the beginning, and "Mei Lanfang" which was released at the same time.

Who is that?
Now, during this period of time, there is only one Director Chen.

In fact, "Mei Lanfang" is not bad, it just has nearly 20 million less.

But in marketing events, a higher ranking can make a huge difference.

What's more, Xiao Chen, oh, no, this could be because Director Chen and Director Yusen Wu still have some past grudges.

Now is the time for a grudge match.

As the weekend went on, attendance dropped.

But after the media’s crazy publicity about the weekend box office, many people heard the news.

In addition, I had heard about the early promotion of "Police Incident" before.

Many people are wondering whether they should go and see this movie. I heard it is really good.

It fell back to over 1600 million () on Monday, but it was still higher than Friday, which is a good trend.

Of course, the box office continued to decline afterwards, but the decline was significantly lower than that of most movies.

On December 12, which was a Friday, there were no important movies released during this period, so the box office was completely left to "Mei Lanfang" and "Police Incident".

But now, "Police Incident" has more to eat.

At the same time, the weekly box office data came out.

1.8 billion!
It has almost caught up with the first week box office of "Red Cliff".

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the outcome of this game is almost certain.

"Police Incident" still has a good reputation until now.

And now there is still a whole week left, allowing it to expand its territory without restraint, and there is no rival at all.

Oh, "Mei Lanfang" directed by Chen Kaige was overlooked again.

Director Chen's film obviously lacks stamina this time, although it was very popular during the previous joint marketing.

But after the first weekend, it failed to maintain its box office momentum.

Chen Kaige kept regretting, thinking that Xiao Chen had snatched away his box office share.

It shouldn’t have been released at the same time as his, “Ip Man”, please come back.

In fact, the current performance of "Mei Lanfang", with a first-week box office of 8000 million, is already much better than its previous performance.

The early publicity was still effective.

But it is still obvious that "Mei Lanfang" will lose money.

The cost is over 100 million yuan, and according to predictions, the final box office may only be tens of millions more than the cost, which is still a loss-making business.

In comparison, Chen Linfeng's "Police Incident" seems a bit scary.

This is an enlarged version of "Crazy Stone".

With a box office of 4000 million, the investment was recovered in 5 days, and the rest was pure profit.

Not only that, several actors in the movie, Jiang Wu and Wang Qianyuan became famous because of it.

Wang Baoqiang and Shi Xiaolong, who are already very popular, have once again proved their strength.

Even some of the actors who played minor gang villains in the film became a little famous because of it.

Just like "Stone" in the past, it was a huge win.
