Millennium director

Chapter 275 Feng Xiaogang joins in the fun, "Assembly" is released!

In the entertainment industry of later generations, as the public's nerves became more and more sensitive, celebrities were increasingly stared at with a magnifying glass, and no one dared to talk casually.

It would be impossible to have a public interview, have a vicious confrontation with someone, or make a big show of gossip.

No matter how much they hate each other privately and how much they wish each other would die, on the stage, they maintain a harmonious appearance, and even promote the friendship of best friends and brotherhood.

As for the developed online social platforms, in the early days, there were still celebrities who spoke sincerely on the Internet.

For example, Na Ying’s very down-to-earth blog posts such as “The Most Annoying People Are Pretentious”.

But later, due to things like "swiping" likes and impulsively taking sides, many online scoldings started. After several celebrities were kicked off, their social accounts were all taken over by the studio's dedicated publicity staff.

In addition to forwarding some publicity and advertisements, no comments with personal feelings will appear on the Internet, and I will only regularly post beautiful pictures as a benefit to fans.

So much so that passers-by sighed that there were no living people inside.

However, the entertainment industry before 2010 was still much more real than it was later.

Whether it's the two teams on the fourth team quarreling with each other, or Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Weiping publicly scolding each other, it's all common.

It is also common for directors and actors to criticize each other during the promotion period and release period of their works.

Today a certain male star angrily accused a certain female star of being shameless and misbehaving on the set.

Tomorrow, a certain big flower will taunt the opponent's little flower in a weird way, but she is not popular but she will rub her hard.

It can be said that the current entertainment industry is simply a paradise for those who are addicted to the Internet 15 years later. There are celebrities fighting every day, and the main characters are doing it in person.

No, Wu Yuan also played a trick of getting into a fight in person. He was interviewed on his side, and then the Internet was flooded with written reports.

[Wu Yusen VS Wu Yuan - Comet hits the earth! 】

[Wu Yuan: No one knows Hollywood better than me! 】

[Responding directly to Wu Yusen, who will win in the summer season? 】

[US$2.5 billion VS US$1 billion, the battle for the strongest box office director in China! 】

[Wu Yusen teased Wu Yuan for being too young, and Wu Yuan insinuated that Wu Yusen didn't understand Hollywood. The new film hasn't been released yet, and the atmosphere is already full of excitement! 】

[The strongest summer movie in history, "Red Cliff" and "Gravity" won't convince anyone! 】

The vast majority of the people are happy to see the rivalry between the two great directors.

Although both Wu Baige and Wu Yuan are relatively reserved, they are not as direct as Feng Dapao.

But it’s this kind of secretive, taunting and scolding that makes people even more attracted to them. This is what a cultured person is!

Inexplicably, Feng Xiaogang, who was in the middle of promoting his new movie, was pulled out and whipped.

We are all directors. Look at Wu Yuan and Wu Baige. Even when they are scolding each other, they focus on a yin and yang. If you don't carefully read what they said during the interview, you won't be able to appreciate the ridicule in their words.

As for Feng Xiaogang, as the director with the biggest mouth in the industry, he has always been very direct when he trolls people. He always names and curses, and he doesn't know the meaning of euphemism at all.

In the popular impression, the "director" still has a relatively elegant, high-end and cultured image.

Feng Xiaogang's behavior undoubtedly seemed a bit low-key.

Ever since, it was obvious that a spark had been ignited between Wu Yuan and Wu Baige, but the fire burned into Feng Xiaogang.

I don’t know how many netizens on the Internet used the verbal dispute between Er Wu to tease Feng Xiaogang, saying that even cursing is the lowest form among directors. It’s no wonder that he has never been looked down upon by the mainstream circle.

This made Feng Xiaogang very angry.

His "Assembly" is about to be released in three days. He has been frequently promoting the movie. When it comes to hot spots, how can Feng Pants bear not to respond?

The day after seeing these comments, he took the opportunity to respond publicly: "I don't know who is better or worse between "Red Cliff" and "Gravity", and I don't care about it."

"Both directors Wu are indeed excellent, and their achievements in film are better than mine, but it's a bit funny to have to compete with each other even in swearing."

"I think you should be more direct and honest as a person. What's the point of scolding people in a weird way?"

"You want to curse people, but you also have to consider tact and influence, so just don't curse at all. If you curse people without hesitation, then your life is too frustrating, right?"

"The paparazzi nowadays are so boring. Every day they want to dig up some topics that people in the industry can criticize each other to attract attention."

"If you are too busy and really don't have much news to write, you can pay more attention to the upcoming "Assembly Number"."

""Assembly" is a work that I carefully prepared. Out of the 80 million investment in this movie, the actors' remuneration was only less than 1 million, and the rest of the money was spent on the filming. It is well-made and The battle scenes are grand and the story is touching.”

"This is a movie that is different from the previous so-called mainland blockbusters. It is a movie that really spends money on steel blades."

"Instead of paying attention to the two director Wu's movies that will be released next summer, you should first watch "Assembly" which is about to be released right now!"

Are Feng Xiaogang's words an exaggeration?

It's really no exaggeration.

Wu Yuan, who saw this interview report, was quite amused by Feng Pants' behavior of taking advantage of every opportunity to gain popularity.

After the failure of "The Night Banquet", Feng Xiaogang really needs to prove himself in the blockbuster field, otherwise he will not be able to keep his reputation as a leading director of mainland commercial films.

"Assembly" is indeed the most important film project for Feng Xiaogang and Huayi this year.

This movie lived up to expectations and became Feng Xiaogang's best movie in the first decade of the 21st century.

Of the 80 million cost, only 1 million was used in remuneration.

Although most of the starring actors are Huayi's own artists, and there are no big names, this does prove that making movies does not only use big-name actors to sell box office.

As for the leading actors in "Assembly", none of the big-name actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan have this point. Wu Yuan has to praise Feng Xiaogang for his boldness.

Among the numerous great directors in the entire domestic entertainment industry, if Wu Yuan is not counted, only Feng Xiaogang dares to do this.

In particular, at the same time, there was also a completely opposite "Tou Ming Zhuan" as a foil.

It has been almost a week since the release of "The Investment Certificate", which brings together superstars such as Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Jin Chengwu, as well as large-scale projects such as scene construction and a production cost of up to 300 million yuan.

This movie claimed to have an investment of 300 million, but the three leading actors took away more than 200 million together, and Li Lianjie alone took away 100 million, setting a record for the highest salary for a Chinese actor.

Therefore, the shooting cost of "The Call to Action" is actually not much different from that of "Assembly Number", both being less than 100 million.

As Chen Kexin's first work "going north", from actors, plot to scenes, "Tou Mingzhuan" has almost all the elements that a blockbuster commercial blockbuster should have, and the producer is also very optimistic about the film's prospects.

Although "The Legend" took in a box office of 98 million in the first four days of its release, surpassing the previous best of 96 million in the first week of "The City of Gold", this result still did not reach the box office. The expectations of the film crew.

It was less than 100 million in the first weekend, which means that the final domestic box office of this movie will only be about 200 million at most, which is still some way away from the cost of 300 million, let alone making money.

Chen Kexin once again used a movie that brought together three Hong Kong superstars to prove that it is impossible for domestic Chinese-language blockbusters to make money just by stacking big-name superstars.

Countless people inside and outside the film industry who have been paying attention to the mainland film industry have focused their attention on "Assembly Number", which will be released soon after "The Nomination".

Although Wu Yuan's "Painted Skin" does not include Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars, it at least has Chen Kun and Zhou Xun.

One of them was the most popular young actor in the Mainland at that time, and the other was a three-time Best Actress. Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao in "Assembly" cannot be compared with them.

"Assembly" did not use any big-name superstars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and all production costs were spent on filming. It is the first real blockbuster in China without a superstar!

Whether this film can be successful or not will directly affect the subsequent film production methods of major producers.

Whether the money should be spent on hiring superstars or on film production depends on whether "Assembly" can prove itself with box office.

As soon as Feng Xiaogang's press release came out, it immediately diverted the attention of the public and the media.

Compared with the battle between Erwu and Wu, which will officially start for more than half a year, the "Tou Ming Zhuan" VS "Assembly Number" currently being staged is the real feast that is right in front of you.

Even Wu Yuan took time out from filming to care about the release of "Assembly".

On December 20, "Assembly" was released on a large scale across the country.

On that day, Wu Yuan also gave the crew a half-day off, rented a screening room at Beijing Light Times Cinema, and invited everyone to watch the movie together.

Many people may not know that "Assembly" is a Sino-Korean cooperation movie.

Not only is the producer of this film a Korean company, but it also hired many Korean staff.

For example, the Korean executive producer of "Assembly" is Lee Ji-yoon, who once served as the producer of the Korean film "The Flying Taegeuk Flag".

The film's special effects team and explosion team are also from South Korea.

"The Flying Taegeuk Flag" is the highest-grossing war movie in Korean history, mobilizing a total of 11.75 million moviegoers and selling nearly 60 million US dollars at the box office.

It is precisely because of the joining of the producer of "The Flying Tai Chi Flag" that Feng Xiaogang, who was filming such a large-scale modern war film for the first time, was able to shoot "Assembly" to a high level.

I have to admit that the current Korean war movies are indeed more mature and experienced than those in the Mainland. The Mainland is the one who is learning.

After all, Hong Kong and Taiwan are as big as one's hand, and there is no experience in making war movies to draw on.

On the same day, after watching "Assembly" with all the crew, everyone from Wu Yuan to the ordinary crew members were full of praise for the movie.

As a modern war film, "Assembly" is definitely excellent.

It is also the first time to make a war film, and it is also a collaboration and study with outstanding foreign colleagues. Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" is much better than Wu Baige's "Wind Whisperer".

The difference between the two is countless Chen Kexin!

"The box office of this movie will definitely exceed that of "The Proposal"!" Li Xuejian said with emotion after watching the movie, rubbing his red eyes.
