China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

The 2009 Spring Festival is on January 26, so the premieres of several films in the Spring Festival are basically scheduled in mid-January.

"Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" is on January 17, "Painted Skin" and "Warring States" are on the 18th.

Liu Dehua's "Dragon and Phoenix" is scheduled earlier, on the 11th.

In addition, there are several small and medium-cost films that will be released in theaters during the Spring Festival holiday, but because the main creators have no box office appeal, the subject matter and story have no highlights, they are basically "cannon fodder".

The most popular ones are "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" and "Painted Skin", which are known as 3D blockbusters, and "Warring States", a costume blockbuster starring popular actress Jing Tian.

Wang Zhonglei and Xu Ke attended the premiere of "The King's Avatar" and knew the difference in visual effects between the two.

Therefore, when "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" premiered, media reporters and audiences were not invited to watch the full version of the film, but only selected the exciting parts to watch for 20 minutes.

The media can naturally sense that the 3D effect is not as good as advertised, but they still praise it when reporting.

As for the premiere of "Warring States", it was also held at the Olympic venue.

In addition to the main creative staff of the crew, the guests present included Jiang Heng, Han Sanping, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Wu Jing, Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, Yang Miying, etc., and the event was also full of stars.

At the event, perhaps for confidentiality reasons, the "Warring States" crew did not play the entire film, but only played a clip of more than 30 minutes.

Jing Tian's appearance in the film is still beautiful, but the lines are a bit awkward.

Huang Xiaoming's Sun Bin is much better than Sun Honglei's version, but I don't know how the overall effect is.

"Brother, I acted well!"

At the dinner after the premiere, Jing Tian wore an evening dress with pink and silver sequins, and the long skirt made her look like a fairy descending to the earth.

Holding a red wine glass in hand, she smiled brightly.

"Very good, I feel you have improved again!" Jiang Heng raised the glass in his hand slightly and said with a smile.

"Really, I also feel that I acted well!" Da Tiantian was overjoyed, her cheeks slightly red.

She is so popular now, all thanks to Jiang Heng.

Some netizens said that her acting skills are average, but it's just that Director Jiang Heng trained her well.

Jing Tian naturally agreed with this statement, but as an actor, she also hopes that she can improve.

In her opinion, "Warring States" is an opportunity to prove her growth.

And the guests present were also generous in praising Jing Tian.

After all, she is the most popular little flower in China at the moment. Even big directors like Zhang Yimou want to cooperate with Jing Tian.

Although Lao Zhang started out with art films in his early years, after switching to commercial films, he did not look down on "traffic stars" at all.

In 2009, he collaborated with Xiao Shenyang, who was the most popular that year, in "Three Shots Surprise".

As for this moment, I really want to work with Jing Tian on a film.

Feng Xiaogang is also a man who is good at dancing with long sleeves and knows how to hype. He frequently said golden sentences at the dinner party, and he did not have the airs of a big director at all.

Amid the praises of many guests, Jing Tian was also a little bit flattered, thinking that "Warring States" should have a good result, and her popularity and status will be further improved.

The next day, the media reported the premiere news of "Warring States" and "Painted Skin". For the former, the main publicity was from Jing Tian, ​​praising how beautiful and good the role played by the young lady was.

"Painted Skin" was evaluated higher from the aspects of story and special effects.

One more thing to mention is that perhaps because of the confidence in the film, the whole film was watched at the premiere of "Painted Skin", and it is said that the feedback on the scene was very good.

Although it cannot be compared with Jiang Heng's work, the quality of the film is beyond other special effects blockbusters.

For a time, the 2009 Spring Festival file was a "three-way battle", and the media added Liu Dehua's "Dragon and Phoenix" to it, saying that the 2009 Spring Festival file was a "four-way battle" and "the hottest in history", which really attracted the audience's attention.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival, and several films were released on the same day.

In the morning, there were not too many people in the theaters of major domestic theater chains.

After noon, the number of moviegoers increased.

Many viewers called their friends to watch movies with their families and friends.

"Hello, two tickets for "Warring States"!"

"I want "Warring States"!"

"I want the one played by Jing Tian, ​​what, two tickets!"

...

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Warring States" won a box office of 41.95 million yuan with its overwhelming scheduling advantage.

"Painted Skin" ranked second with a box office of 28.44 million yuan.

"Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" ranked third with 23.8 million yuan.

"Dragon and the Fairy" ranked fourth with 17.9 million yuan.

The industry was excited when the report came out, because the total box office of the four films released on that day reached 112 million yuan, breaking the domestic single-day box office record.

It's just that the word of mouth is more polarized.

When "Warring States" was first released, Douban's score was 6.1, and it quickly dropped to 5.9. By the afternoon of the next day, it had stabilized at 5.3 points.

"Painted Skin" was 7.3 points when it was first released, and now it is stable at 6.8.

"Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" has always fluctuated around 6.5, which is a relatively stable one.

"Dragon and the Fairy" dropped from 6.3 to 6.0, and its reputation is not very good.

Originally, "Warring States" had the highest box office among the four films, but because it had the lowest rating and the worst reputation, the attendance rate and box office were both declining.

The most terrible thing is that the media that praised Jing Tian two days ago have changed their tone and criticized her.

Domestic entertainment media rarely criticize any popular artist very harshly. After all, those who can become popular have backgrounds and connections, and they must not be easily offended.

Of course, Wen Zhang is an exception, who does not indulge the media at all.

Therefore, the critical reports of major entertainment media are relatively mild, but the film critics are different.

These people have always relied on sharp words to attract attention. Even Jiang Heng's films have critics who find fault, not to mention "Warring States" which obviously has quality problems.

A group of film critics wrote various long articles, from Jing Tian's fame history to her consistent performance in films other than Jiang Heng, and concluded that the young lady's acting skills have always been consistently bad.

It's just that the role Jiang Heng picked for her is highly compatible with Jing Tian's own personality, which can be regarded as a true performance.

And Jiang Heng's various explanations of the play made her play the roles of Bi Yao, Scorpion Spirit, and Reina very brilliant.

Once she left Jiang Heng, she would be like the supporting role in Stephen Chow's film, just like everyone else!

In addition, many disappointed fans also went to Jing Tian's Weibo to spread rumors, blaming her for making bad movies to cheat money.

The die-hard fans of the young lady naturally didn't agree, and they quarreled with those people on Weibo, forums, and Tieba, causing a sensation on the entire network.

As for Jing Tian at this moment, she was completely confused.

She always thought that her performance in "Warring States" was very good, and everyone's acting was also okay.

Even if it was not as good as Jiang Heng's film, it shouldn't be scolded like this!

She locked herself in the house, cried for a while, and waited until dark before she couldn't help but call Jiang Heng.
