Chapter 275 Bad News (2/4)

In the past, after a movie was released, it took some time for it to ferment.

Now, there is no need for this!

The movie hasn't even been released yet, and there are already a lot of positive reviews.

This is called marketing...

All major platforms and websites are full of news related to "Redress of Wrongs".

Especially on Douban, the number one short review on the home page is, 'I never thought that in my lifetime, I would see Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao appear in the same movie, Ye Qing Hui!'

The second one is "Hurry up "The Vengeance 2"!"

It’s obvious that this thing is marketing and the trolls are doing the work.

Changlin Film and Television has a very powerful navy, and its marketing power is also No. 1 in the industry, just like the sunshine at noon...

The audience gradually formed the concept that Changlin's products must be high-quality.

This thing is all about gradual progress. Once a deep-rooted understanding is formed, then... when new movies are released in the future, there is no need to brag like now, there will be tap water.

Zhou Liming wrote a long comment: "I haven't seen such an action movie for a long time. It has the flavor of a hero punishing rape and eradicating evil. Shen Changlin said he wanted to make a film with the flavor of Gu Long. I think this film is very Gu Long. smell!

There is no special word for chivalry in the Western world, but they also have legendary stories such as knights and Robin Hood.

The so-called sword is used to cut down the world's injustices, and drinking alcohol is used to solve the world's chaos.

The whole film feels like reading a novel by Gu Long.

"You're here"

"I am coming"

"You shouldn't have come"

"I'm already here!"

The entire film does not rely on spectacular action scenes and pure sensory stimulation to please the audience, but relies on the fascinating atmosphere, complex and changeable scene scheduling, highly strategic narrative techniques, and unusual character creation methods to guide the audience to achieve their goals. Emotional resonance and catharsis.

Analyze the first action scene, where he breaks into the gang's lair single-handedly. When the external pressure puts him at the greatest pressure, his explosion only occurs in a dozen seconds.

A relatively large amount of space is used to illustrate the process of increasing pressure, including Jackie Chan's main perspective of observing the environment, small movements of placing toys in the house, etc.

The design principle of the confrontation scene between the two sides is to continuously mobilize, strengthen, stimulate, and impact the audience's attention and tolerance.

Jackie Chan, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder tendencies, even closed the door three times, but this repeated action took on a ritualistic feel during this anxious moment.

This is the appearance of the master before taking action.

In just eighteen seconds, seven people were eliminated!

It feels a bit like the violent duel scenes in the movies of Takeshi Kitano and King Hu, with the static confrontation, the rich meaning of the gestures, and the extreme violence in an instant, real, tragic, and life-threatening.

I like this play very much.

It can be seen that Shen Changlin's control of action scenes has become more mature...

In addition, let me tell you something. Back then, director Luo Wei took the fledgling Jackie Chan to visit Gu Long, hoping that he could write a script for Jackie Chan.

As we all know, Cologne loves wine, but Jackie Chan cannot drink well. However, in order to make Cologne happy, Jackie Chan can only bite the bullet and continue to drink cologne.

For this reason, Jackie Chan drank until he vomited, but Gu Long always looked at him coldly and refused to speak.

It was not until the end of the wine party that Gu Long said slowly: My script is not written for him, but for handsome guys like Ti Lung and David Jiang. People like him with big noses and small eyes cannot film my works.

But now, Shen Changlin has filmed Jackie Chan with a Gu Long-style story, and it’s very good..."

Zhou Liming gave it four stars.

Most of the other well-known film critics gave it four stars, and of course there were some who couldn't stand it - the action design was too poor and the scenes were very small, which is only at the level of a TV series!

How can I put it this way, except for two explosions, there are basically no close-ups of big scenes in "The Vengeful Man", which is really not exciting enough...

However, netizens are focusing on the easter eggs, that is, the gathering of the three brothers Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao...

A bunch of people are saying, 'For the easter eggs, I'll buy a ticket too!'



The promotion before a movie is released is different from the promotion after it is released.

Before it was released, because I hadn’t seen it, I could only ask some questions about interesting things about the filming, my thoughts on the collaboration between the actors, entertainment gossip, etc. It was an awkward conversation.

After it was released, the main focus was on the plot of the movie.

"Do you think the scale is a bit big?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "It's a bit bloody, but with this subject matter and the story, it's impossible to make it into a family carnival... In fact, we have done a lot of processing in the version released in China, and many scenes that make people physically uncomfortable have been deleted!" "

"The American version was not deleted?"

"Yes, it is rated R because foreigners have a higher psychological endurance."

But no, a million people dying is nothing.

"Isn't Na's death enough for Jack to take revenge?"

"He is a killer... Although he has some sense of justice, he adheres to the principle of not offending others unless they offend me, not to mention that he has already taken revenge. He taught those pimps a lesson... After returning home, he found that his dog was dead. The two things combined Together, he can't hold it in any longer!"

"Brother Jackie Chan originally wanted to change Jack's identity to a retired agent, but agents use guns more..."

"Easter egg... I originally thought of taking my time and adding Mr. Yuen Biao in the second part, and Sammo Hung in the third part. But when we were making "The Bad Man", we invited Mr. Sammo Hung and told him about it. He I disagreed and said, 'It's best to film it quickly, otherwise if I die, you won't be able to find me even if you want to find me'... So, I changed the Easter eggs and changed the trilogy into two parts..."

"A sequel will definitely be made."

"I should continue to direct. After all, the three of them are big names. If I don't become a director, the others may not be able to control the crew..."

Very true…

If the "Avenger" series continues to be filmed, no other director except Shen Changlin will be able to sustain the sequel.



13th, night.

Shen Changlin arrived in Wuhan with Nazha.

They had just finished a road show and were resting in the hotel exhausted.

Wuhan is almost the city with the largest ticket sales in the country, and no movie will be ignored.

Of course "Avenger" doesn't dare to...

I was still in Beijing in the morning, and arrived in Wuhan in the afternoon. I will run for another half day tomorrow morning, and then go to Changsha in the afternoon...

This is the schedule for promotion!

Shen Changlin was really tired. He had no interest in clapping or anything.

However, Naza was lying in his arms, and his hands were still habitually placed on his heart, and he kneaded the soft flesh into various shapes...

Nazha couldn't bear it anymore: "Brother, do you want to do it?"

"...I'm a little tired..."

"Then don't touch me!"

Push him away and prepare to wash up...

"Dong dong..."

Someone knocked on the door. Shen Changlin thought it was the food delivery person, but when he opened the door...it was Yang Fan!

"Why are you here?"

Shen Changlin was quite surprised...

"The "Avenger" has gained a good reputation in North America..."

"How about it?"

Yang Fan shook his head: "Not very good!"

On Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, the two most important film critic rating websites in North America, the average score of "The Wrongful Man" did not exceed a passing score of 6 points.

The main complaints from critics who gave negative reviews were that the film's style outweighed its meaning and that it was too violent.

And the narrative is too cliche!

How can I put it, there are too many of these types of fighting violence with violence, and film critics have had enough of it!

“What did Warner Bros. say?”

Yang Fan's expression was a little strange: "They are very happy..."

"Um?"
Chapter completed!
