Chapter 1071 Screening (Part 2)(1/2)
Two blockbusters were released on the same schedule at about the same time, and they would compete fiercely at the box office. This is something that all film companies try to avoid.
Nowadays, when making a blockbuster, preparations usually start one or two years in advance. When the filming has just begun, the film will be announced and decided on the release date.
In addition to the fact that film shooting itself requires so much time, another aspect is to try to avoid such a situation where blockbuster schedules collide.
Even during the Lunar New Year period when blockbusters are packed together, some film companies still try to stagger the premiere times of their respective major productions.
With a one-week interval, even if there is a shock, it can be avoided and minimized.
For example, "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox" and "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" were released one after another in just two days. This is definitely a rare scene.
Most film companies will avoid this situation, even if it is postponed or advanced by a week.
Because everyone knows how influential two blockbusters will be if they premiere at the same time.
A movie that might have done well at the box office may have failed at the box office and failed to recoup its costs; it may not have been able to recoup its costs, and it may have failed as a result.
To be honest, during this month, the entertainment industry was extremely puzzled by the two giants Xiao Bufan, Zhonghuang Entertainment, and Victory Pictures who were so determined to collide "Legend of the Snow Fox" with "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms". Could it be that they
Are you so confident about the movie "Liao Zhai: Legend of the Snow Fox"?
The fight at the box office in the movie industry has always been about winners taking all, and many losers being ruined.
Isn't Xiao Bufan afraid that his investment will be wasted?
Of course, Xiao Bufan knows and understands very well the rule in the film industry that the winner takes all and the loser loses everything. But he has learned everything since he was a child, but he has never learned to give in.
Years of pride made him unwilling to take a step back.
Besides, he is also full of strong confidence in his own movie. The production cost of the other party is claimed to be 1 billion Chinese yuan, so what? The production cost of "Liao Zhai" is also nearly 200 million Chinese yuan. With the investment in publicity, it is estimated that it will be long-lasting.
It's over 300 million yuan, and it's almost approaching 400 million yuan.
Another most important reason is that Xiao Bufan does not want to bow to Yang Ming.
Since Yang Ming emerged in the entertainment industry, he has taken away too many honors. Those honors may have belonged to him originally.
Therefore, he chose to make a collision, even if he spent almost enough publicity expenses to make another "Liao Zhai" before its release, he would not hesitate to do so.
But now it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.
Xiao Bufan pursed his lips and looked gloomy. He sat in his office and stared at the mobile phone on his desk fiercely.
All movie tickets for "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" tonight were sold out. The attendance rate for all shows was basically 100%. The venues were full and it was hard to get a ticket.
Such an astonishing performance made him really unhappy, because he couldn't do it with "Liao Zhai" which premiered yesterday. In addition to the first show being sold out and the subsequent shows having very high attendance rates, it was barely even a star compared to "Three Kingdoms"
.
The most important thing is that the attendance rate of "Liao Zhai" tonight has dropped by half. The theater chain actually decided to reduce the filming rate of "Liao Zhai" and put these resources into "Three Kingdoms". This tone made Xiao Bufan
How can I swallow it?
He chose to collide with "Three Kingdoms", and the negative consequences of premiering the day before "Three Kingdoms" have slowly emerged.
The winner takes all and the loser loses everything.
"If you want to shrink, there is no way." Xiao Bufan muttered viciously, then picked up his cell phone and started making calls.
Don't forget, in addition to being a popular king in the entertainment industry, he also has another identity, that is, the identity of the heir to the Xiao family. He believes that those theater companies will never dare to reduce their film schedules without authorization.
In theaters, "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" is still showing.
The epic battlefield scenes made countless viewers excited, the exquisite retro character shapes made people feel relaxed and happy, and the gripping plot kept all the viewers' eyes glued to it.
Zhuge Liang asked for aid from Soochow and wanted to unite Wu to fight against Cao. This scene has been told countless times among the people and is known to every Chinese.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Ming's appearance made everyone's eyes brighten.
So handsome.
All the guests stared at Zhou Yu played by Yang Ming on the screen. Everyone wanted to see if Yang Ming really had the strength to act opposite Yang Chaowei.
Zhou Yu, who was wearing battle armor and training on the battlefield, showed a unique style in every move he made.
The subsequent trial and collision dialogue between him and Yang Chaowei as Zhuge Liang made everyone feel incredible. It seems that Yang Ming did not fall behind at all in the process of playing against Yang Chaowei. Maybe his acting skills are not as superb as Yang Chaowei, but at least
It's time to enter the palace, and the most important thing is that Yang Ming's performance is really good.
"good."
"I didn't expect that Xiao Yang could actually play opposite Yang Chaowei."
"There will be two Yangs in the future!"
"Old man, are you sure that Yang Ming studied directing in your college? It seems that your college is quite chaotic!"
"Get out of here, this is a genius, you know? He's an old man!"...
The old dean and the older generation sat near Yang Ming, so Yang Ming heard all their discussions, which made him sweat with cold sweat. The communication between the old guys was so strong.
But I have to say that Yang Ming's acting skills really surprised everyone.
Previously, although Yang Ming had many impressive performances in his own films, these were mostly without the best actor to compete with him.
Therefore, his achievements in acting are not recognized by everyone.
But now that he has performed so well in the scene opposite Yang Chaowei, no one will mention his acting skills in future scripts.
Yang Ming heard some discussions around him, and in the darkness, a faint smile appeared on his face. It seemed that his efforts were worth it.
With two lifetimes of life experience, plus he had a certain acting foundation in his previous life, after two or three years of training in this life, he has completely exploded this time. Maybe now he can't compete with powerful movie stars like Yang Chaowei and Bao Guoan.
He is on par with others, but at least he is not far behind. If he meets the right role, he can definitely perform beyond his level.
This time, Zhou Yu's role was a super performance for him.
The plot on the screen continued, and when the scene of the straw boat borrowing arrows appeared on the screen, countless people exclaimed.
This idiom of "borrowing arrows from a straw boat" may be one of the most familiar to countless Chinese people, but when they actually saw the movie scene where this member was included, countless people were shocked by the scene of thousands of arrows fired by special effects.
It was an eye-opener for everyone. Perhaps they had only noticed straw boats before, but who would have thought that this arrow was so spectacular?
Yang Ming looked at the screen and listened to the exclamations in his ears. He was not proud. His attention was still on Zhuge Liang played by his senior brother Yang Chaowei. The more he watched, the more he felt that his decision to let Yang Chaowei play Zhuge Liang was right.
The contemporary Yang Chaowei version of Zhuge Liang is so classy.
If Bao Guoan used his powerful aura to vividly portray a domineering and heroic Cao Cao, then Yang Chaowei used his expressive acting skills to bring Zhuge Liang, who is almost as wise as a monster, to life, without the frivolity of the previous version, and without the frivolity of the previous life.
A mysterious calculation.
Yang Chaowei played the role of Zhuge Liang very well through his eyes, behavior, and understanding of the role.
Of course, Yang Ming is not bad either. Zhou Yu's handsomeness, talent, and enchantment were also vividly interpreted by Yang Ming. During the filming, under the stimulation of many powerful movie kings and superstars, his acting skills also exploded.
Maybe others only thought it was his evil talent, but no one noticed his unremitting efforts.
However, stars have always been like this. Others may only notice your glamorous side and never realize how much sweat and sweat is behind it.
Zhou Yu, played by Yang Ming, appeared, and Su Su soon followed.
Su Su, who plays Xiao Qiao, amazed countless people as soon as she appeared on the stage. Su Su's costume style is so beautiful, as if she is a fairy who stepped out of a painting. She is so different from the world. This kind of beauty even makes all the viewers not want to see anything in the camera.
After switching, I will always stare at Susu alone.
But Yang Ming knew that compared to the script of the previous life, Su Su's role was much less, especially in the previous version, the reason why Cao Cao conquered the south and the Battle of Chibi happened was entirely because of a woman, and this woman was Xiao Qiao's dog
The bloody bridge section was deleted by Yang Ming without hesitation.
Are you kidding? How could Cao Cao, who is known as the most powerful man in history, start a war because of a woman?
This is simply a huge joke and an insult to the intelligence of all viewers and movie fans.
After the original version of the previous life was released, this bloody plot attracted countless criticisms and scolds. It can be said that the biggest problem with the original version shot by Lao Wu in the previous life was that this bloody plot was too insulting to the IQ of the movie fans.
Therefore, after Yang Ming wrote this script, he deleted this plot without thinking. It was too boring.
Just thinking about it makes people laugh.
The reason why Cao Cao wanted to conquer the south, and why there was a battle in Chibi, was because of Cao Cao's immense ambition to swallow up mountains and rivers!
Yang Ming mainly highlights this point in the contemporary version. At the same time, he also incorporates Cao Cao's suspicious character and the ideological struggle of whether to seek to usurp the throne and change the world into the plot of the contemporary version.
Undoubtedly, Cao Cao is a very controversial figure. He is a hero and no one can refute him. However, he has never tried to seize the Han Dynasty in his life, which is inconsistent with his usual domineering style.
At the same time, with his extremely high personal charisma, he has many powerful generals and advisors under him, but he is also a suspicious person. Otherwise, he would not have betrayed Cai Mao and Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang just because of a small conspiracy.
Zhang Yun was beheaded and cut off his own foundation, which was very contradictory to his character.
This is the contemporary version of Cao Cao created by Yang Ming, and it is also the real Cao Cao in history.
For such a complex character, Yang Ming would have been really worried if someone else had played it. Fortunately, Bao Guoan had been thinking about the character of Cao Cao ever since he received the script, and he finally created a lifelike Cao Cao on the screen.
Of course, during the filming process, Yang Ming also communicated with Bao Guoan about the character of Cao Cao.
Time passed by, and the script of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" slowly unfolded. Countless viewers were immersed in the movie and couldn't extricate themselves. Whether it was the upcoming battle or the exciting scenes, the audience was addicted to it.
, forgot the time.
In particular, a majestic Bagua array battle left countless people stunned. Many people thought it was shot with special effects. Only some directors looked at it carefully for a while and figured out that maybe Yang Ming did not use special effects, but
It really took tens of thousands of people.
This young man really dares to take pictures!
