Huayu is free to do as you like

Entering December also marks the arrival of this year’s Lunar New Year holiday.

At the beginning of the month, "Crosstalk Movie: I Want Happiness" starring Guo Degang and starring other crosstalk actors from Deyun Society was released, which can be regarded as the official start of this year's Lunar New Year.

Teacher Guo and his disciples once again set a new limit for the audience and brought you a super bad movie with a score of only 2.7.

There were a lot of scoldings and complaints on the Internet, and the movie's box office was naturally a hit, with only a few million yuan in the first week of release.

In the past, Mr. Guo was able to blame himself in a variety show when faced with netizens scolding him for acting in a bad movie.

He said those previous movies were bad, and the reason wasn't his.

Because every time he goes to make a movie, he never reads the script. He just acts however the director tells him to act, without even knowing what he is acting.

Teacher Guo also said that he just went to make friends.

For example, he went to film "Happy Comedian" for two days with a rating of only 2.5. Even if it was a bad film, the responsibility did not lie with him.

Moreover, [Happy Comedian] also has the world-class comedian Mr. Bean. Why not say that Mr. Bean acted in a bad movie.

It is indeed reasonable and well-founded, and it is worthy of relying on words to make a living.

But this time [I Want Happiness] he couldn't shake it off.

The director of the movie is Zhang Heluan, and you can tell who he is just by his name.

Starring only himself as a disciple of Deyun Society, it is completely independently produced by Deyun Society, and no one else can take the blame.

The content of the story of "I Want Happiness" is very simple. The necklace Guo Degang bought for his new love was stolen by Yue Yunpeng, sent by Yu Chai, and framed for Guo Qilin. Yue Yunpeng was beaten and lost his memory afterwards. By coincidence, he hooked up with Guo Qilin, and finally the two worked together to retrieve it. necklace.

What can be told in more than ten minutes is stretched to 90 minutes by stacking up all kinds of vulgar jokes and useless characters and plots.

The director knew that what they were filming was a comedy, and all the characters looked funny and vulgar.

Watching a movie feels like an actor reaching into your crotch and tickling your itch while saying, "Why aren't you laughing?"

You just want to kick him away.

In short, Deyunshe's movies are completely useless. I don't know what Lao Guo thinks. There is also a movie "Ancestral Nineteenth Generation" directed by himself during the Spring Festival. Now, a big movie like "The Happiness I Want" When a bad movie is released, it is obviously to damage its own reputation.

Of course, it doesn’t rule out that he doesn’t think the movie is bad.

After all, judgment standards are different from person to person.

Gu Wei had no time to relax even after returning to the capital after completing the project.

As soon as I landed, I went to attend the premiere ceremony of "Qi Men Dun Jia" before taking a break.

Of course, Ni Ni was the happiest person when Gu Wei showed up. His arrival also made her very popular among the crew. After arriving on the scene, he took Gu Wei to meet Shi Nanshan, Xu Ke and Yuan Heping.

"Sure enough, he is handsome and talented. It is better to meet him than to be famous." Mr. Shi praised Gu Wei with a smile after seeing him.

"When Director Zhou invited you to play [Subduing the Demon], I agreed very much, but unfortunately we couldn't cooperate in the end." After his wife praised him, Xu Ke added another sentence.

"I like Director Xu's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and "Dragon Flying Swords" very much. I hope we can have this opportunity to work together in the future." The people carrying the people in the sedan chair expressed their appreciation, and of course Gu Wei also said Two nice sentences.

"I have watched [Xiu Chun Dao] starring you. The martial arts action is very exciting. In the future, you may consider developing into a kung fu superstar." Yuan He commented, ignoring his own profession in three sentences.

"It's all thanks to the martial arts instructor Mr. Sang Lin. I just copied the cat and imitated the tiger, and I didn't dare to take credit."

"Among the younger generation, Sang Lin is considered one of the best action instructors!" Yuan Heping nodded in agreement. "But it's rare for you to be able to play well. It's no worse than Cheng Long and Li Lianlian when they were young."

Gu Wei repeatedly said he did not dare.

Yuan Heping is fully qualified to say this.

He is 72 years old this year. He is the world's top action director and excellent director. He has collaborated with countless big names and superstars in his life, and has also produced many wonderful works.

For example, Cheng Long’s [Drunken Master] and [Snake-shaped Trickster], Li Lianlian’s [Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng], [Huang Feihong: The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede], Wu Jing’s [Tai Chi Master], Jiao Enjun’s [Little Li Flying Knife] Wait, they are all his works.

As for the movies he has participated in as an action director, there are even more movies.

The most famous ones are the "The Matrix" series and Li Bian's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Seeing that Gu Wei, Xu Ke and his wife were chatting happily with director Yuan Heping, Ni Ni also looked at Yourong. After all, she was the one who invited them.

In addition to producer Shi Nanshi, producer Xu Ke, and director Yuan Heping, Gu Wei also met the leading actor Dapeng, his old classmate Zhou Dongyu, female supporting actor Liu Yan, and Huang Xiaoming, who made a cameo appearance in the movie.

We are all acquaintances, so it is inevitable to say hello and chat for a few words when we meet.

“It’s been a long time since I last saw Director Da Peng. I was too busy a while ago, so unfortunately I couldn’t attend the premiere of [Sewing Machine Band].”

"Mr. Gu, just call me Da Peng. The original [Pancake Man] was thanks to your help. Naza told me everything." Gu Wei and Da Peng knew each other because of Chen Zhixi, so he went to guest star in "Pancake Man".

However, because there was no overlap at work, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time.

“I went to see [Sewing Machine Band], it was an excellent music-themed movie.

It can be seen that the filming was very careful, and it is more mature than [Pancake Man] in terms of story and technique."

Gu Wei's compliment made Dapeng a little embarrassed.

"I really wanted to make a good movie, and I did my best, but the audience didn't seem to be satisfied. The results of [Sewing Machine Band] were not ideal."

Gu Wei shook his head.

“It’s already very good. This is your second film as a director, and you can clearly see your progress.

And it's especially important that you don't indulge in spoof drama and really want to express something. "

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Gu." Dapeng was a little excited. He felt that Gu Wei understood him very well and felt like a confidant.

"you are very welcome.

If you want to shoot a new movie in the future, you can come to me if you have any difficulties.

I can help with everything from funding to production team to later release and distribution." Gu Wei patted Dapeng on the shoulder and made a promise.

When he said this, Dapeng was naturally very moved and thanked him again.

After "Sewing Machine Band", people in the industry also had some doubts about Da Peng's directing ability. He himself also doubted whether the original "Pancake Man" was an accident, and his directing level was indeed as bad as netizens said.

Now with Gu Wei's encouragement, he has some confidence again.

"It seems that you really think highly of him?" Ni Ni looked at Dapeng and said after he walked away.

“After some people succeed, they will just rest on their laurels, not wanting to make progress, and keep repeating until everyone is completely tired of their old things.

And some people always want to try new things and keep making progress.

In my opinion, although the current Dapeng is still a bit immature, he is obviously the second type of person.

So even if the temporary results are not good, this spirit of continuous improvement is particularly valuable."

In Gu Wei's view, except for the first "Pancake Man", Da Peng, who was born in "Diaosi Men", did not repeat his original nonsensical and vulgar style in the subsequent films. Instead, he always insisted on being in his own style. It is extremely rare for a movie to convey something upright and true.

The later directed "Keep You Safe", starring in "The Beneficiary", "The Big Winner" and "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop", are comedies, but not just comedies. Compared with those bad films of Deyun Club, I don't know how to compare them. How many levels beyond.

"Mr. Gu is very enthusiastic about you." On the other side, Liu Yan stood next to Dapeng and looked in the direction of Gu Wei and Ni Ni.

After Gu Wei entered the scene, she also went to say hello, but it was just a simple greeting, unlike Dapeng, who chatted and laughed for a long time.

"Bole, Mr. Gu, is so enthusiastic about me, of course because he likes my thousand-mile horse!" Dapeng said somewhat proudly.

He and Liu Yan are the kind of friends who have known each other since childhood and have a very good relationship, so they have no worries about talking.

"you?

Two years ago, when "Pancake Man" was a hit, he didn't even try to establish a relationship with you. Why did the new movie not do well, but he favored you instead? "

“How else can people be successful all the time.

It’s easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when it’s time.

When I was proud, people never tried to help me, but now when I encounter obstacles, I can see who really thinks highly of you and who is just here for money." Da Peng also felt deeply.

"It's not surprising. I heard that when Wu Jing was filming the first [Wolf Warrior], no one was willing to invest money because the previous film [Wolf Fang] suffered so badly.

He was forced to mortgage his property to make a movie.

Later, I went to visit Mr. Gu's crew. The two of them had a drink, and the subsequent investment was made. "

Liu Yan thought of Gu Wei helping her when something happened to her.

“Mr. Gu has a gentle personality, but he always has a chivalrous spirit about him.

I always wanted to thank him for helping me so much.

I haven’t found a chance yet.”

"Do you still have a chance?" Dapeng looked Liu Yan up and down in disbelief.

"I'm going to kill you." Liu Yan patted his arm, raised her chin, and motioned for him to look over there.

"When has Mr. Gu ever lacked a beautiful woman around him?"

Da Peng followed Liu Yan's instructions and looked over. Ni Ni, wearing a long red dress, was standing next to Gu Wei. The two were chatting about something. Ni Ni was slim, with a charming face and a very happy smile.

"However, Gu Wei seems to have a normal relationship with our Golden Horse Best Actress. The two of them seem to be college classmates."

Zhou Dongyu plays the second female lead in "Qi Men Dun Jia", and her acting role is almost as good as that of the female lead Ni Ni.

However, Gu Wei only greeted her politely after entering the venue, and it was obvious that there was something strange between the two of them.

There was nothing outstanding about the premiere ceremony of "Qi Men Dun Jia". After the interview and interaction, it was the movie viewing session.

As expected by Gu Wei, the 3D effects and special effects scenes of this movie are worthy of praise. The fighting scenes are as fast and accurate as Yuan Hejing's style, without losing the elegant beauty. Many monsters are exquisitely styled, and the fighting scenes are extremely shocking.

However, in terms of story plot, [Qi Men Dun Jia] shows its weak side.

The whole story is so poorly told that it can be summed up in one sentence as "Chinese martial arts versus aliens".

Foreshadowing is completely abandoned. On the whole, all the characters follow the plot. Any reactions and actions taken by the characters do not depend on their own personalities, but on the needs of the plot, so it seems inexplicable.

The director is Yuan Heping, and the screenwriter and producer is Xu Ke. The two technical masters finally contributed a plate of exquisite-looking junk food.

So no matter how exciting the fighting scenes are or how cool the special effects are, the essence of the movie is to tell a good story.

The reason why Li Lien Lien's version of "Once Upon a Time" is so exciting is that the action scenes are important, but the core of it is Master Huang's courage as a great master and his patriotic sentiment of justice.

After its premiere, the movie received a lot of negative reviews as expected. Everyone is looking forward to the collaboration between Yuan Heping and Xu Ke to bring an audio-visual feast.

I didn't expect the story to be so bad.

[It feels like this is just a story that Xu Ke made up after drinking too much, and used leftover materials to practice special effects for Di Renjie 3.

The beginning was okay, but the boss collapsed when he came out, the plot was unclear, the transitions were arbitrary, and the special effects were a mess! 】

[In the end, Weapon Girl fights the Flying Noodle God Cult. At the beginning, I thought it was tomato pasta, but when I saw a pot of red soup falling from the sky at the end, I realized it was Chongqing noodles! 】

[Please, can you allocate some of the money for special effects and write a good story?]

[Specialize your time to watch IMAX in the afternoon. Xu Ke, Shi Nanshan, Ni Ni, and Zhou Dongyu stewed this bad dish? What is the plot? Everyone is an idiot and only the leader is useful? Is this going to be a sequel? 】

[The action scenes and special effects are still very exciting. It’s fun to watch. Ni Ni is beautiful, Liu Yan is beautiful, and Zhou Dongyu, uh, is very young.]

【.】

The box office of "Qi Men Dun Jia" was only RMB 26.85 million on the first day of its release. On the second day of Saturday, the box office surged to RMB 68.16 million. However, affected by the poor reputation, it dropped significantly on Sunday and only received RMB 48.14 million.

“To be honest, the day of the premiere was also the first time I saw the finished film.

I never expected to be able to shoot like this.

When I first got the script, I felt that the plot was a bit simpler, but it was Xu Ke and Yuan Heping, so they had to accept even a simple script.

"Tsk tsk"

On Gu Wei's private plane, Ni Ni looked at the online comments about [Qi Men Dun Jia] in the past two days and complained.

"It doesn't matter. I took a look and found that netizens were mainly disappointed with director Xu Ke, and there were also some negative discussions about Dapeng and Zhou Dongyu.

The failure of [Qi Men Dun Jia] will not have much impact on you, the heroine."

The two of them were flying to Changsha to attend Happy Camp to promote the upcoming "Exes 3".

"You are right, it is a blessing in misfortune.

But such a big director and big production film failed in both word-of-mouth and box office, so I couldn’t be reconciled.”

Ni Ni sighed as he ate the fruit in front of him.

“Making a movie is just like playing football, it’s hard to predict the final result.

Script, filming, actors, post-production, there are so many factors that can affect the final effect of a work.

As an actor, you just need to choose the script and play the role well, the rest can only depend on luck." Gu Wei picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

From the moment he got on the plane, he turned on his work computer and chatted with Ni Ni while busy.

"But excluding the movies in the "Tang Detective" series, why are all the movies you star in so exciting and so popular with the audience?

Any tips? "

Ni Ni looked at Gu Wei curiously.

"Ha ha.

There is no secret, it’s just that the script is wrong and the script needs to be changed, the actors cannot be changed, and the director cannot even be changed.

After "Tang Detective", basically all the movies I starred in were one of the investors.

Being able to take the role was first of all because I agreed with the script and director.

Of course, if I feel there is something wrong during filming, I can just ask the crew to change it according to my requirements.

I feel like I know better than all of them what the audience wants to see.

After I put forward my opinions, everyone will follow my requirements."

Gu Wei looked at Ni Ni opposite and said naturally.

"hiss

You are a real drama tyrant.

Ordinary people will never learn it! "
