Chapter 1001 Winning, loopholes and imprecise

The male protagonist Yehua/Mo Yuan/Zhaoge is starring Lin Gou; the female protagonist Bai Qian/Si Yin/Susu is starring Mina; Bai Fengjiu is starring Chen Yao.The director is Zhao Xiaoding, a photographer who has worked with Lao Mouzi and Zhou Xia.

The current script and special effects team are under the control of Xia Hua's professional team, and the director is actually responsible for the part of the filming.

In this regard, Zhou Xia is completely at ease with Zhao Xiaoding, especially in terms of visuals.

Of course, he also specially instructed the other party, hoping to be stricter with the actors and control the quality of the movie.

"A Thousand Bones of Flowers" is still in preparation, and the roles have not been finalized yet, but Xiaoying, the male and female protagonist, will definitely not appear in this movie.

And the original male lead, Dou Xiao, would not play the role either.

Therefore, both the director and the production team suggested using Lao Hu, who was recently popular because of the TV series "Langya Bang" and "The Pretender".

As for the choice of the heroine, there are several candidates, namely Xiaoshuang, the prostitutes Nini and Zhang Huiwen, plus Chen Yao.

Zhou Xia carefully read the opinions and reasons for the selection. After spending 3 minutes reading it, he thought about it again and decided to give this role to Xiaoshuang.

Xiaoshuang has stayed in Tianyu for the past two years because of her contract, so she doesn't have many opportunities to act in movies.

She has acted in many TV dramas and has accumulated a high popularity, but many roles have mixed reviews, which makes her very controversial.

But fortunately, Zhou Xia has always been in charge of her. With Zhou Xia's support and confidence, she didn't let herself go, go for plastic surgery or something, and always maintained her most prominent advantage, pure and refined temperament.

Now this role is actually very good for her.

Among the three candidates, Zhang Huiwen has similarities with Xiaoying in terms of image, and many people think that he is the most suitable.

The words of Nini and Xiaoshuang both have a big difference in image and have their own advantages.

But the role of Yumo played by Nini is too impressive, and if Xiaoying played the impressive Xiaogu, it would be too difficult to reverse.

On the other hand, Xiaoshuang's words are like a little white flower. Her image is different from Xiaoying's, but she fits very well with Xiaogu's inner character. It's really good for her to create a Xiaogu with a different style from Xiaoying.

This has already been shown by the scores in the audition score of the director group, and Zhou Xia also believes in his vision.

This is the basic situation of the main actors of these new projects of Xiahua Film and Television.

But many of the supporting roles, in addition to Xia Hua Film and Television's many powerful actors and veteran actors, many of them are brilliant, and the choice of bright roles is even more bold.

The chances are all given to Xia Hua, who has just become popular in online dramas and TV dramas, to another level of actor.

According to the time when it became popular, it can be regarded as the third echelon, but the age and so on are both young and old.

The rest are "Donkey Gets Water" and "Shameful Iron Fist", which are both happy twists. Zhou Xia didn't let the company ask about these two movies at all.

For a niche literary film and a comedy film, Xia Hua Film and Television did not actually have any suitable actors to play the role, and forcing the role to play instead affected the original casting.

Furthermore, the employees of Happy Twist are also Xia Hua artists, and they should have their chances. People like Shen Teng and others are excellent actors, and they shouldn't be delayed again and again.

Zhou Xia filmed "Charlotte's Annoyance" before, which caused Happy Twist to lose this project, and now he will not interfere with this matter.

And with the right opportunity, he will give these actors and directors better opportunities.

While reading this important report, he wrote down his opinions one by one, and finally signed the agreement. Zhou Xia stopped paying attention to this matter.

He continued to work on the preparatory work for the new movie, and when he had time, he asked about the promotional arrangements for "Descendants of Yan and Huang".

Three days passed quickly, and on Monday, July 7, the box office and word-of-mouth battle of the two action movies last week finally came to a conclusion.

The two sides were almost evenly matched. In the end, "Embroidered Spring Knife" won with a total box office of 3.72 million in the first week, a slight advantage over "Taoist Down the Mountain" by 2000 million.

Zhou Xia was very surprised when he saw this data, thinking that the movie "Taoist Descending the Mountain" was much improved than the original time and space as he thought.

He hurriedly read the reviews and word-of-mouth comparisons of the two movies on the Internet, but felt relieved after watching them.

Although the difference in the box office is not that big, the word-of-mouth comparison of the two movies on the Internet is almost the same as the original.

Perhaps because of the low expectations for "Embroidered Spring Knife", this movie started low and went high. Now it has a score of nearly 7.8 points. Many people are very satisfied with such a well-intentioned and sophisticated costume action movie.

The whole movie is low-key and subtle, and the dark tone style allows the audience to immerse themselves in the characters rather than the pictures and many wonderful fights.

Each of the several important characters in the whole movie is flesh and blood, full and lively. After watching it, people believe that this is a true story.

In that era, in that time and space, this is what existed in history.

The audience believed that this was the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty and the little people of that era.

It can be said that after the initial low-key, with the spread of word of mouth, this movie has been liked by most film critics and fans who like to watch the story and characters.

Perhaps because of the recent craze for action movies, it has been filled with a lot of bad movies, which broke the hearts of the audience.

Seeing such a movie that does not rely on action, but combines action and characters so well, quietly and quietly, and earnestly tells the story, the audience began to work hard on the weekend.

Two days before the release, Thursday and Friday, it only won a total of 1.2 million box office. On Saturday and Sunday, the film won more than 29.5 million box office with 2.5% of the film schedule, and won the box office champion for two consecutive days. .

The beauty of "Embroidered Spring Knife" lies in the thinking of human nature and the value that everyone pursues, with flesh and blood.

From a professional point of view, of course, there are still some flaws.

The handling of martial arts action imaging with digital cameras, as well as the loopholes and impreciseness in the story content are not handled well.

For example, Zhao Jingzhong changed the imperial decree to kill Wei Zhongxian. For this purpose, he went through a lot of hardships, but he didn't expect to kill Wei Zhongxian easily in the end.

In the final ending, Zhao Jingzhong's investment in gold was added to the whole story to supercharge Shen Lian's family and country hatred.

But these flaws do not conceal the virtues. What "Xiu Chun Knife" really expresses is flesh-and-blood humanity.

There are no absolute good guys or bad guys in this movie.

Everyone doesn't want to be a pawn in a big chess game, and wants to control their own destiny, but sometimes they are so powerless.

Let's talk about the final ending again. The three brothers galloped on the grassland on horseback. This is a rare moment for them to be unrestrained.

Now I have a question, where do you want to go?
The eldest brother played by Wang Qianyuan said, I want to take my mother to Quanzhou to see the sea.

Shen Lian, the second brother played by Deng Chao, said, I want to go to Suzhou.

The third younger brother played by Dou Xiao said that he would go outside the customs where there are few people.

This also reflects the orientation of the three people.
