Chapter 598 Don't compare yourself to the old paper! (Second more please subscribe!)

In July, basically the summer vacation has officially started.

"The Breakup Master", "Superman: Man of Steel", and "The Best Detective" have also been screened for half a month, so hurry up to harvest a wave of box office.

"The Breakup Master" did not hit the blockbuster movie "Transformers 4" this time as before, and there is also an even worse reputation "The Detective". In this comparison, "The Breakup Master" is even better, naturally The box office is also higher.

However, the film market in July belongs to "Interstellar" and "Tomb Raider Notes", which have not yet been released. Both big films have invested a lot of publicity costs, and the overwhelming publicity has attracted all attention.

"Tomb Raiders Notes" has the blessing of the original work, and the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series has completely ignited the theme of tomb robbery, and the popularity is not small at all.

In terms of the cast, they are basically from Huayi. The leading actor Zhang Qiling is played by Feng Shaofeng, and Wu Xie is played by Jing Boran.

As for the heroine, Wanda did not push Jingtian in. Wang Xiaoming tried to put his wife in but was rejected, and finally fell into the hands of Yao Chen. Following Li Binbin and Zou Xun's solo career, Yao Chen became the first sister of Huayi. .

The lineup is average, but this kind of big IP itself has its own traffic.

Both parties were working hard on publicity, and Tang An had to take the crew all over the country to meet the audience and get acquainted with each other.

Divide into two groups, and try to run all these major cities before the release.

Tang An was busy, and the crew of "Tomb Raider Notes", which was released two weeks later, did not rest. Lu Chuan appeared in front of the public again after such a long time.

Guangzhou Wanda International Cinema, "Tomb Notes" is holding a fan meeting.

A very beautiful hostess of the local TV station is interviewing.

"Hello Director Lu, I have watched all your previous movies, this should be your fifth movie, and this time "Tomb Raiders Notes" is also your first surviving commercial film, so what do you think of "Tomb Raiders Notes" How is it different from your previous four films?"

Lu Chuan raised the microphone, thought for a while, and said, "The transition to commercial special effects blockbusters this time is not sudden. In fact, I am a technical geek. I have been very interested in special effects since a long time ago, starting from "Looking for a Gun". , I have special effects in every movie.

Many of the Kongming lanterns raised in "Looking for a Gun", the Tibetan antelopes and vultures strewn with dead bodies in "Kekexil", as well as the background of the scenes in "Southern View and Southern View", and the Epang Palace in "The King's Feast" are all It was done in CG, so I am still very interested in CG. "

It has been more than ten years, and after several blows, Lu Chuan has become more restrained. When the host talked about "Looking for a Gun", his expression did not change at all.

After chatting for a while, the host immediately got into the topic.

"Actually, we all know that no matter whether it is ghosts or elements of tomb robbery, it is impossible to appear on the big screen. "Longling Jue" and "Longling Miku" adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" were required to be filmed during the review process. "Ghost Blowing Lamp" cannot be mentioned in the name, so how did "Tomb Raiders Notes" pass the review?"

Lu Chuan said with a smile, "Relevant organizations still support the creation of our filmmakers, and the title "Tomb Raiders Notes" has been retained, but the content has been required to be deleted."

"Has Director Lu ever read the original novel?"

"Of course, I've read it at least ten times. The descriptions of tomb robbery and archaeology in the book are very mysterious, which makes it easy for people to substitute into them. I also regret that the plot of tomb robbery cannot appear in the movie."

"Does not allow tomb robbery in the movie, does it mean that there will be a big difference from the original?" The host asked again.

Lu Chuandao, "I think the original book actually gives a huge space. Tomb Raider is just a package. From the beginning, it's all about exploring, fighting monsters, and then revealing the secrets. I think exploring and fighting monsters can be completely released.

Because I am a film student, domestic films have developed to such an extent, the funds are abundant, and the genres are gradually increasing. I think it may be a very appropriate thing to make a monster film or a superhero film, so I put this The direction is set here. "

"Then according to Director Lu, the movie will undergo a lot of changes, so aren't you worried that readers of the original book won't buy it?"

Lu Chuan said confidently, "We must be responsible for the core purpose of the book, and at the same time be responsible for the audience who have not read the book. We have been struggling with this issue and have never stopped. But in the end we still feel that we must let the movie It is established by itself, this is very important. And I believe that no matter how you adapt it, it is a contribution to the book, because it makes the book more popular. Many people picked up the book because I want to make this movie Get up and have a look."

On the stage, Lu Chuan boasted about his movies, but the audience in the audience didn’t seem to buy it. Ever since Lu Chuan said that he would make a lot of adaptations of the original work, some readers who have read the original work have not stopped talking .

"No, Lu Chuan, please don't f**k change."

"It seems that he is talking about exploring, fighting monsters, what kind of monsters to fight, could it be the type of fighting monsters?"

"It doesn't matter. Tomb Raiders can't be filmed in the first place. The special effects should be better, and the corpses of corpses, sea monkeys, forbidden women, gnats, and blue-faced foxes will all be produced."

"I think it's a bit confusing. If all of these are filmed, it will become a horror movie. Didn't Lu Chuan mean movies about superheroes and monsters?"

The interviews on stage continued, and the host and some reporters also interviewed several other leading actors one after another.

Finally, the host asked Lu Chuan to comment on the two movies of the same type, "Longling Jue" and "Longling Miku", and compare them with "Tomb Raiders Notes".

Lu Chuan pondered for a while, and then said, "The two films "Looking for the Dragon" have sold a total of 20 billion at the box office in China, and a large part of it may be because there are no films with similar themes in China, but this time "Tomb Raider" "Notes" does not have such an advantage, after all, everyone has watched two movies with the same theme in a row, and it is inevitable that they will feel a little bored after watching too many movies."

Speaking of this, the eyes of the host next to him lit up, and the reporters in the audience cheered up.

This clearly belittles the other party, and Lu Chuan is trying to make trouble.

Lu Chuan did not disappoint them, took a deep breath, and continued, "However, "Tomb Raiders Notes" will be a new type of suspenseful adventure theme. After a lot of innovation and investment in special effects, I believe it will give everyone a different viewing experience. "

The other meaning of this is that "Looking for the Dragon" and "The Ancient City of Jingjue" are nothing new, they are both old-fashioned, and the audience is tired of watching them. Now my "Tomb Raiders Notes" is definitely better than the first two. mean.

The media at the scene also had no idea what Lu Chuan wanted to do. It is said that he was a little impulsive a few years ago, but since the establishment of the "Tomb Raiders Notes" project, he has kept a low profile and never said anything radical to the public. Well.

It's good that the media didn't care so much, and they didn't care about the host's reaction, they just started asking questions from the audience.

"Hello Director Lu, it has been 12 years since your first movie, and you have made 11 movies in 5 years. Compared with many directors, especially Tang An, the director of "Interstellar" which will be released soon, has been released in 10 years. eight films"

What is the most talked about in the summer file?
Of course it's Tang An and his new movie!
Seeing that Lu Chuan had become much calmer, they did not provoke Lu Chuan to hate Tang An.

But now, Lu Chuan seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and sprayed "Longling Jue" and "Longling Miku" cryptically, and the reporters also brought the topic to Tang An.

Lu Chuan didn't evade, "I don't think it's a good thing for a filmmaker to blindly pursue quantity, just like the assembly line in a factory. Although the speed is much faster, compared to our older generation of workers, the things produced It is incomparable, it lacks soul!

I have made five films in 12 years, the output is not high, but each one is full of humanistic care, this is not only a film, but also. "

Lu Chuan was talking there to himself, but the actors next to him were a little dumbfounded.

The grievances between Lu Chuan and Tang An are known even to outsiders, so it is impossible for them not to understand.

But they didn't expect Lu Chuan, who is usually so restrained, to mock Tang An directly at the reporter.

Who is Tang Anna, the number one director in China, whoever touches him will die.

Originally, when they met Tang An in the summer vacation, they were not very optimistic about it, but Lu Chuan fell in love again.

The two male protagonists were annoyed in their hearts. After all, the protagonists of the [-] million-dollar production were overwhelmed by Tang An's movie.

The last time Jing Boran starred in "Waiting for the Wind" was a disastrous defeat to "Predecessor Raiders". Feng Shaofeng is not very popular in the film industry. The key point is that when Tang An was in Huayi, the two of them did not dare to speak loudly in front of Tang An. say.

Unexpectedly, after Tang An left, he still had to be dominated by him.

The meeting was extended for a quarter of an hour. After leaving the cinema, Lu Chuan didn't say a word.

It wasn't until he got into the business car that Lu Chuan patted the seat heavily, gulped down a big mouthful of water, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Qin Lan quickly closed the car door, took the water cup from him, twisted the lid on and put it away, then took out a paper towel to wipe the spilled water.

After cleaning up, Qin Lan sighed, "They're going too far, and they'll even pull you in during the publicity."

Lu Chuan calmed down, "It's nothing too much, you should do things after you get the money, and cooperate with the publicity."

Those words just now were all deliberately said by Lu Chuan. This is also the investor's request, to arouse as much topic as possible and bring enough heat.

Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly, he couldn't help himself, he didn't intend to engage in a meaningless war of words with Tang An, but the box office saw the truth, even if it wasn't as good as "Interstellar", at least he could win with "Wolf Warrior" played a game.

Of course, this interview was widely reported, but the news about the movie "Tomb Raider Notes" that took up most of the interview time was rarely mentioned, and the words that Lu Chuan said later were processed and sent out.

Tang An came back to the summer vacation after a year and a half away. It can be said that it is a topic of discussion everywhere. This matter related to him will immediately arouse heated discussions.

Tang An didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Chuan was taking, but he didn't have time to talk to him. Facing the reporter's interview, Tang An just replied with a smile.

"You shouldn't compare "Interstellar" with "Tomb Raider Notes", "Wolf Warrior" and "Tomb Raider Notes" are the objects of comparison. The box office of "Wolf Warrior" will definitely be higher than "Tomb Raiders Notes"!"

The subtext is, don't compare yourself to old papers, "Wolf Warrior" can get you down!

Successfully despised the other party, and let "Wolf Warrior", which is not as popular as these two movies, show his face once, killing two birds with one stone!
