Superstar Couple

Chapter 402 Zhang Le is dead?

Zhang Le was low-key filming his "main theme" sci-fi film for the National Day, as if he really forgot about the upcoming release of "The Grandmaster".

There are many rumors about his doing so, but the propaganda team of Xinle Film and Television used this rumor to promote the film, which had an unexpected effect.

In fact, Zhang Le's movies don't need much publicity at all, and fans are also very interested in his movies.

One month after "National Day" was launched, "The Grandmaster" was released.

The release was a bit low-key, but it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of fans. On the day of the premiere, the venue was almost sold out, and the box office of the premiere reached more than 100 million. Although not as good as the first-day box office of Zhang Le's previous films, this first-day box office is unmatched by other directors' films, even if it is a blockbuster imported from Hollywood.

This shows Zhang Le's box office appeal in China.

Zhang Le's films are not only loved by fans, but many filmmakers will also watch them in theaters immediately.

Chen Ke and Zhang Le have collaborated many times, and he has also gained a place in Hollywood because of several comic-adapted movies. He has watched Zhang Le come to the present step by step, and the research on Zhang Le's films has become a hobby of his.

He likes to find the factors of his success from Zhang Le's movies, and he really got inspiration from them.

With the low-key release of "The Grandmaster", Chen Ke also knew some inside information. In addition to breaking Zhang Le's filming plan because of the National Day gift film, he also knew that Zhang Le's filming of this film was not aimed at the box office as in the past.

He wanted to put his wife Yang Xiner on the throne of actress.

Chen Ke is just a director and belongs behind the scenes, but he is a well-known director after all, and he will make cameo appearances in many movies from time to time, and many people know him. Therefore, he entered the theater very low-key, found a corner, and waited for the opening of "The Grandmaster".

At the beginning of the film, the words "Zhang Le's works" are naturally indispensable. Today, because of Zhang Le's habit, many directors have imitated it. Of course, first of all the director has great self-confidence.

Confidence in one's own fame, confidence in one's own work.

The opening of the film is a sentence played by Feng Lei playing Ip Man, and then there is the scene of fighting on a rainy night.

"This Feng Lei gave me a surprise from the very beginning, completely missing his own characteristics." Seeing Feng Lei, Chen Ke thought to himself.

It is difficult for an actor to be remembered without his own characteristics. But if he has his own characteristics, it is difficult to become an actor who can act.

Ip Man who appeared first, he is not Ip Man played by Feng Lei, he is Ip Man.

This is Chen Ke's feeling, which is also the surprise Feng Lei gave him. After coming to this drama, no one will reply to question Feng Lei's acting skills, even if he was not nominated for the Golden Dragon Award.

No nominations, maybe? If it is the whole movie, Feng Lei is at this level, it is impossible not to be nominated. It's just that whether you can get it or not depends on your opponent.

"Fighting in the rainy night is undoubtedly exciting, especially in terms of action design. But this did not give Chen Ke any surprises. Chen Ke has worked with Xinle Film and Television on the level of martial arts many times, and Chen Ke naturally knows that it is definitely the top in the country.

However, Chen Kegen paid attention to the background color and cutting of the picture. This style is very different from the Zhang Le he is familiar with.

Zhang Le's style is changeable, but there is a strong atmosphere of commercial films in it, but this film does not give Chen Ke that feeling.

After the rainy night fight, the name "The Great Master" appeared, and then there was Ye Wen's martial arts monologue. This method has never appeared in Zhang Le Zhang Le's movies. And then, the film continued, but bit by bit it broke the familiar Zhang Le's films that Chen Ke was familiar with.

At the beginning, Chen Ke would still mutter a few words in his heart, but in the end he had no words. Even when the movie was over and the theater was extremely noisy, he turned a deaf ear to it. He is also not interested in the fans' after-viewing of this film.

People who like this movie love it to death. People who didn't like this movie gritted their teeth with hatred, and even wondered if it was directed by Zhang Le.

This film is not a pure literary film, but it has no similarities with Zhang Le's previous commercial films.

Chen Ke, who is a director, will naturally watch movies from a different perspective from ordinary audiences. In addition to character stories, clothing props should also be paid attention to. In this movie, the costume props are undoubtedly polished to the extreme. Thinking about it, next year's Golden Dragon Awards, this movie will definitely win in these aspects.

The lines are full of charm, and the language of the lens is far-reaching. From this aspect, "The Grandmaster" has similarities with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which caused a world sensation a few years ago, but the narrative method is obviously very different. It is said that "The Grandmaster" is a bit messy in its narrative style.

And this is probably because Zhang Le is too ambitious, and he thought about showing a world in a short movie.

With one breath, light a lamp, so that the skills and spirit of martial arts can be passed on, and the fire will never go out. As a successor of Chinese martial arts, Zhang Le has a deep understanding of the inheritance of Chinese martial arts.

But in Chen Ke's view, the highlight of this movie is not the national hatred and family feud, nor the martial arts spirit, but the look hidden under the national hatred and family feud, and the martial arts spirit. And timid heart, sensitive and persistent soul.

This can be seen from the emotional portrayal and character creation in the movie.

I have to admit that the Gong Er portrayed by Yang Xiner is absolutely qualified to compete for next year's Golden Dragon Award Best Actress, and the chances are great. Throughout the movie, because of the characters, exaggerated expressions are not allowed. Yang Xiner uses facial muscles and eyes to show her inner world.

This movie is definitely a breakthrough for Yang Xiner's acting skills. It's not that Yang Xiner has won the title of Best Actress, but her acting skills have not been recognized by many people, especially after appearing in too many commercial films, her acting skills are not satisfactory. After this movie, no one will criticize her acting skills anymore.

As Zhang Le expected, the box office of "The Grandmaster" was extremely optimistic at the beginning, but three days later there was a big drop. Of course, this is also relative. Because the single-day box office in the first three days exceeded 100 million yuan, this is also the only achievement of Zhang Le's film. But on the fourth day, it dropped directly to more than 80 million. A direct decline of 20 million is definitely a jumping decline.

The professional evaluation of this film is very high, but the fans are polarized. It is quite different from Zhang Le's previous films.

Zhang Le's previous films received poor professional reviews, but fans liked them. But this movie has a high professional evaluation, but there are also many fans who don't like it. Many fans who watched the film showed a state of confusion.

But fans who like this movie love it so much.

Disliked by movie fans and the rapid decline in the box office, many people seized the opportunity and wanted to make Zhang Le worse. For a successful person, I don't know how many envious and jealous people look forward to his failure.

Zhang Le naturally has many people looking forward to his failure. Naturally, those people would not let go of such a good opportunity.

It started from the Internet and spread to all major media. What they said had the same meaning, that is, Zhang Le couldn't do it anymore.

The box office of "The Grandmaster" is indeed not comparable to that of Zhang Le's previous films, but his box office is also superior to other Chinese films. Ever since, Zhang Le's fans added a few words after this!

If Zhang Le can't do it, he can do better than you! (to be continued ~^~)
