China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"After the screening of "A City of Gold" ended in the cinema, the audience refused to leave the theater for a long time. They had to wait to hear the ending song and read the subtitles before leaving the cinema."

"In order to fulfill a wish he made with Gong Li at the Great Wall in 1992, Lao Mouzi asked Gong Li to be the queen for once. This time he did it."

"Compared with House of Flying Daggers, Lao Mouzi has made progress"

"The song is good, Nako is good."

"Lao Mouzi did a good job in his homework and submitted an answer sheet above the standard. The Chinese charm has been spread, but I don't know if international friends understand it. The opening was great, and the rules and fou were amazing. The subsequent pictures are throughout the whole story. The field is also very good. The middle is dreamy and atmospheric.”

"The picture is still unique."

"Nako, Nako, it's all over the screen!"

""The Night Banquet" follows Shakespeare's example and links "Hamlet" to a meal in China. "A City of Golden Armor" combines Mr. Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm" with a meal."

"It was the first time I was shocked by the bright colors of a movie. This is a feature film and a classical narrative film, but its pursuit of gorgeous and cumbersome forms has reached its peak, and the story has taken a back seat. There is more than enough luxury. , the dignity is not enough, the scenes are big enough, and the plot is worrying, but it is undeniable that Fu Hua Dao is indeed more than one level higher than the so-called exquisite blockbusters today."

"The final battle was just like the opening and closing of a sports meeting. The athletes were all running around and their movements were uniform. I guess they were training for the director of the Olympic Games, Lao Mouzi..."

"It is said to be adapted from "Thunderstorm", but "Thunderstorm" was originally about breaking an old world and rushing to a new world, but it was changed to "Golden Armor". Everyone else died, and in the end only the emperor and the queen were left. Maintaining an old situation with no harassment from others. And the whole film does not show any of Lao Mouzi's consistent praise for the pursuit of freedom, love, and the power of new life. Liu Ye is cowardly and frightened when he sees Emperor Gong coming up to make love. You have to tremble and tremble, the youngest prince is ridiculous and cruel, and was killed by the emperor himself and whipped to death. It is already obvious which character the director puts the first person in."

"After reading it, I still can't calm down for a long time. It's the end of the year and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Can't we have something good?"

Three days after the premiere of "The Golden Jacket."

Every accident, except for places beyond the control of Douban and Tianya, was praised by the media.

On the fourth day, various objective evaluations began to appear.

Like the original time and space, "Golden Armor" has moved forward amid criticism and praise.

The scoldings outweighed the praises.

The Douban score is also out, with a score of 6.1 and 30,000+ comments.

This is the most objective evaluation.

In other words, the movie is indeed bad!

But in the eyes of many people.

In fact, "Golden Armor" does have a strong attraction to attract people to enter the cinema.

Such as Jaylen.

Such as the picture.

For example, the secrets of Lao Mouzi and Emperor Gong, etc.

Also like the most crucial screen-full of Nako.

In addition, during this period, "Golden Armor" had almost no competitors.

Lu Ping'an's "Bucket List" will take several days to complete.

Although "The Legend of Three Gorges" is currently being released together with "Golden Armor", it is a film that won the Golden Lion Award, and its ratings are far higher than "Golden Armor".

But this is not a commercial film after all.

You don’t go to the theater expecting to see this kind of cliched and unpleasant movie.

Therefore, "The Golden Jacket", which is full of commercial elements, and combined with a high-ranking film schedule, the box office has been rising all the way.

The three-day box office, including pre-sales, is directly 85 million!

Zhang Weipin was very happy about this.

"As the saying goes in Hollywood, the quality of movie reviews is not the key factor that affects the box office, but the number of reviews."

Now, "Golden Armor" has done just that.

Regardless of whether the movie is good or bad, the box office is the decisive factor anyway!

What's more, the reputation of "Golden Armor" has not been completely destroyed.

Of course, Zhang Weipin did not ignore the "Bucket List".

"Lu Pingan is a great person! His movies cannot be ignored! I don't think his movies are bad, but the bad thing is that Lu Pingan is so dense this time!"

Zhang Weipin smiled and pointed out the country.

The person in charge of the publicity department of New Picture asked curiously: "Where was the oversight?"

Zhang Weipin said with a smile: "What did you think of when you first saw the name Bucket List?"

"die?"

"Yep!"

Zhang Weipin bit his big cigar and took a puff, "Tell me, during this Chinese New Year, do ordinary people like gold or dead people? Do they like to get rich or get bad luck? Do movie fans like directors who support traditional culture, or directors who challenge A director with good public order and good morals?"

The head of the Propaganda Department’s eyes brightened: “Good morning, Mr. Zhang!”

The person in charge left to work, and Zhang Weipin crossed his legs, confident.

He himself thought it was impossible to surpass Lu Ping An in terms of quality.

Ping An has proven this over the years.

But it’s okay to bring some bad luck to you.

Although this basically won't kill you, it will definitely be okay to dampen the enthusiasm for watching movies and suppress the box office.

They are all great directors.

No matter how high your cost is.

Whoever has the highest box office is the winner!

Maybe there will be other unexpected gains if you do this.

Public opinion cannot be violated!

In the next few days, "Golden Armor" continued to sing despite all kinds of criticism.

And "Bucket List" has also begun its final promotion.

As a great director, and currently the number one great director in the country in the eyes of most people, Lu Ping'an has released his new work, so the attention is certainly not bad.

As a result, a sentence came out from nowhere at this time, and it spread more and more widely:

"Bucket List" is very good, but during the Chinese New Year, I would rather not indulge in the bad luck of the dead. Instead, dip into "Golden Armor" and wish me a fortune next year!

Words on topics like this are circulating online.

Although many people think it is childish at first glance.

It’s just a movie, where do so many superstitions come from?

Therefore, the pre-sale box office of "Bucket List" through various channels is still rising.

But overall it will have an impact to some extent. After all, this has indeed stepped on the taboos in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Subtly, some people feel that Lu Ping'an really doesn't pick the time. Why would you show a movie like this during the Chinese New Year?

These people may not even know what the Bucket List is about.

But from the name, you can tell that it is related to the dead.

In addition, as soon as the rumors spread, many people gave up the idea of ​​watching "The Bucket List" and instead wanted to get rich with "gold".

So as of December 23, the online pre-sale box office of "The Bucket List" was 36.5 million, and the total pre-sales reached 60 million, which is still higher than the pre-sales of "The Golden Jacket". It has already broken the record, but it is not as good as many in the industry. expectations.

After all, everyone felt that Lu Ping An was very powerful now, and since the online pre-sale platform was his, the data advantage would definitely be greatly expanded. However, the result was only a little higher, and he failed!

Sure enough, I didn’t choose the right title!

Of course, everyone knows that the title of the film is actually a detail, and it is mainly a matter of publicity. For example, the publicity of "The Bucket List" is far less than that of "The Golden Jacket."

The premiere of "The Golden Jacket" alone cost 60 million!

Including the rest of the publicity funds, there are already 100 million.

As for "Bucket List", it has only been promoted according to the standards of ordinary star movies so far, and the total investment in promotion is estimated to be less than 10 million.

With such a small amount of publicity investment, the pre-sale box office is already higher than that of "The Golden Jacket". Lu Ping An's appeal is simply terrifying.

Everyone is actually quite impressed by this.

But people don’t know this.

Moreover, the comparison of the new pictures is directly posted.

"The Bucket List" has a box office of 36.5 million, and "The Golden Jacket" has a box office of 140 million!

It did not say that this was a pre-sale on the Internet, nor did it explain that one of the films had not been released yet, while the other had been released for a week.

Just compare a set of data.

The melon-eating crowd took a look, good guy, Lu Ping'an was killed!

So "The Bucket List" is really not as good as "The Golden Jacket"?

As a result, in this era of incomplete informatization, "The Bucket List" seems to be temporarily at a publicity disadvantage.

Lin Xiaohui didn't care at all about this.

She refused the task given to her by her boss on the phone to interview Xingchen.

Because now, the social issue of "public order and good morals" is far less important than her father.

She hung up the phone, returned to the doctor's office, and asked again with red eyes: "So doctor, is my father really..."

The doctor sighed and nodded.

"How much longer?"

"It depends on the situation. Without interventional treatment, the recovery rate may be one year, and the recovery rate may be three months."

Lin Xiaohui went limp instantly, her soul almost drained out.

Zhang Qiang stabilized her and asked the doctor, "What about treatment?"

Before the doctor could speak, Lin's father walked into the office and asked, still full of energy: "Where did I think you went, but you are here."

"dad."

Zhang Qiang quickly said hello, while Lin Xiaohui looked away and quickly wiped her tears.

Lin's father ignored Zhang Qiang and asked the doctor directly: "Doctor, I just have a stomach problem. You checked me over and over again. You spent more than a thousand yuan without prescribing any medicine. Your hospital in Beijing is too dark." Come on!"

"Dad, Dad, don't get excited."

Zhang Qiang quickly stabilized his father-in-law.

The doctor was no longer surprised. He stood up and said to Zhang Qiang: "Please call me anytime and I will notify you of the results."

Zhang Qiang understood instantly, and then he and Lin Xiaohui walked out of the hospital with their cursing father-in-law.

Regarding the matter of stomach cancer, the young couple still didn't dare to talk about it. They had to go back and discuss it with their mother.

But my father-in-law is very generous.

"It's not easy to come to the capital, so I ran to the hospital, walked around, and went to see the Red Star Cinema!"

"Red Star Cinema?"

Zhang Qiang and Lin Xiaohui were both a little confused.

"That was my old unit."

Father Lin explained, and then recalled that year, "It's been more than ten years. The capital has changed so much, and I don't know if it's still there."
