Chapter 325: Response and Movie Chapter
Chapter 325 Response and Film Festival
What exactly Shi Qiang needs Qin Feng's wisdom for? This question can only be answered in the following movies.
And after this first post-credits Easter egg ended, the second post-credits Easter egg of "Detective Chinatown" was also very interesting.
It was a laboratory with a sci-fi atmosphere. A figure in a white coat was sitting in front of a computer. Only his back could be seen on the big screen.
Then, a young woman who looked like an assistant walked into the laboratory and reported to the figure:
"Doctor, Experimental Subjects 23 and 8 met in Thailand, and 23 seems to have initially awakened.
In addition, the subject No. 51 you asked us to keep an eye on has been confirmed to have returned to South Korea, but we have also lost track of her. It is suspected that she has awakened further. Do you think we should increase the search for No. 51?"
After hearing the report from his subordinate, the doctor took a sip of the coffee in front of him, but waved his hand and said:
“As for No. 51, let the Korean branch of the company handle it on its own.
As for No. 23 who has just awakened, we will increase our monitoring of her."
As the doctor spoke, the camera passed over his shoulder and focused on the computer screen in front of him.
On it, photos of Bai Jingting, Kim Da-mi and Song Zue are clearly visible.
Of course, now in the movie, they should be called Qin Feng, Sinuo and Zhao Xiumei's photos.
In the lower left corner of the screen, the icon of Brilliant Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is also very eye-catching.
At this point, the movie "Detective Chinatown" has come to an end, and warm applause broke out at the premiere.
As a suspense film, the cases and twists in "Detective Chinatown" are undoubtedly above the passing line.
As a comedy film, the silly Tang Ren played by Wang Baoqiang undoubtedly produced a wonderful chemical reaction with the shrewd and calm Qin Feng, which produced some good jokes.
Add to that the two easter eggs at the end of the film, and as a spin-off film of the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe", "Detective Chinatown" can be said to have passed the test.
This also means that Li Kui, Wang Hao's college roommate and former personal photographer, has finally successfully upgraded his status and become a qualified director.
Looking at Li Kui accepting praise from the audience on the stage, Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction.
As the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" expands, the second phase "War Age" will have more than 10 works waiting to be produced in the next four to five years.
Moreover, as the movie universe develops in depth, the investment costs and production difficulties of these films are also rising sharply.
In this situation, even if Wang Hao worked day and night, it would still be difficult.
So on the one hand, Galaxy Pictures will continue to discover and train new directors.
On the other hand, those who have been trained in the previous stage and whom Wang Hao trusts can also come out and take charge on their own.
For example, Li Kui was originally a photographer, and it is easy for him to upgrade from this position to a director. With the example of Zhang Yimou in the past, he has now proved his ability. In the future movie universe, Wang Hao can rest assured to hand over medium-cost spin-off movies like "Detective Chinatown" to him.
In addition, there are Zhuang Wenqiang, who shoots Hong Kong films and action films, and Li Qian, who shoots emotional and feminine films.
In addition, there was executive director Zhang Jinzhan who was still with him when filming "Inception".
With the addition of Guo Fan, who has already started his internship at their company, the director team of Galaxy Pictures has been initially established.
In fact, Wang Hao didn’t have very high requirements for the director team.
Take the movie "Detective Chinatown" for example, how good is Li Kui's directing skills?
That's not the case.
Just through this movie, Wang Hao can see that camera language and other things are Li Kui's strengths, but he still has many shortcomings in terms of story rhythm and actor training.
But so what? Galaxy Group itself is the only film and television company in the country that vigorously develops the film industrialization.
What are the characteristics of film industrialization?
It means being able to produce works in batches and on an assembly line.
Just like in Hollywood, the director is not an indispensable element for Galaxy Group nowadays.
Although their company has not yet completely transformed into a film producer system, there are already great signs of it.
Before the filming began, the script was perfected after discussion, and the clear and intuitive 3D dynamic storyboard allowed the general framework of the entire film's production to be determined before filming began.
It can be said that new directors like Li Kui have very little room to perform, and it might be more appropriate to call them film-making machines.
Of course, directors like Zhuang Wenqiang who have more experience and have achieved certain results may have a greater say and more room to play.
But the overall film still has to follow the script and dynamic storyboard.
If you have any questions or ideas, you can raise them and discuss them at the beginning of the project preparation.
But once many things are determined, they cannot be changed at will.
If we look at it from this point of view, directors like Wang Hao and Chen Dashi would probably hate the system of Wang Hao and Galaxy Pictures.
This also reflects Li Kui's other greatest advantage, which is perfect execution ability.
Perhaps because he has been a photographer for a long time, or perhaps because of his personality, Li Kui’s desire for personal expression is not that strong. He can perfectly understand the intentions of the script and dynamic storyboard, and execute them carefully and properly.
After seeing this clearly, Wang Hao no longer had any need to stay.
Obviously, the movie "Detective Chinatown" is a success, and he has a beautiful woman to accompany him tonight.
Wang Hao quietly took Jing Tian away from the movie premiere early, returned to his villa, and enjoyed a wonderful night.
Perhaps it was because Wang Hao had been filming during this period and the two of them had been apart for a long time, Jing Tian was very proactive and cooperative, and took the initiative to unlock many poses.
It was not until noon the next day that Wang Hao finally woke up.
Holding the smooth and light body in his arms, Wang Hao opened his mobile phone and saw the first night box office performance of "Detective Chinatown" last night.
671 million, this result is already very good. At least according to this data, plus the audience’s reaction at the premiere last night, it should be no problem for "Detective Chinatown" to break million at the box office.
Don’t underestimate this number. Even the recently released "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" only grossed 4.66 million yuan in China.
The box office performance of "Detective Chinatown" can exceed 500 million, which is enough to enter the top of the mainland movie box office rankings this year.
However, the subsequent development of the movie surprised Wang Hao.
Perhaps it is because the suspense-comedy model is relatively rare in the domestic market, or it is near summer vacation, and everyone is more interested in watching movies. The box office performance of "Detective Chinatown" can almost be said to be rising all the way, reaching 1.7 million in the first weekend, almost surpassing last year's "Let the Bullets Fly".
At the same time, the movie has received mostly positive reviews online, with a Douban score of even 8.1.
Even the movie ratings on Tao Piao are mostly 9 points, which shows that this type of movie is extremely popular with the audience.
[It's unexpectedly good. The comedy format, the mystery core, and the Southeast Asian packaging make it really tasty. ]
[As a new director, Director Li Kui's application of film lens language is quite good. In addition, the script design of Galaxy Pictures is quite good. It has a good balance of tension and relaxation, and there is no lack of funny, tense, and scary moments. The advertising placement is also straightforward. In general, this is a qualified commercial film.]
[Except for the slightly awkward young actor, the acting skills of the other actors are basically online; the rhythm is tight, the plot is coherent and complete, and both the comedy atmosphere and the suspense atmosphere are successfully created. The investigation process is not childish, the case is highly completed, and there are no logical loopholes. The jokes and suspense are basically closely related to the plot. It can be regarded as another masterpiece of Galaxy Universe! ]
[Am I the only one who noticed that Wang Baoqiang completed the character transformation in this movie?
I have also seen the related predecessor "Lost on Journey". In that movie, Tang Ren, played by Wang Baoqiang, is a milkman who is ignorant of the world and is silly and cute.
However, in the movie "Detective Chinatown", Tang Ren, who has experienced life in the big city, has become less honest and more mercenary and slick.
Of course, kindness and sense of justice are still his true nature, but it is obvious that Tang Ren has grown up.
We can clearly see the growth trajectory of the character Tang Ren, and Wang Baoqiang also perfectly shows the character's arc. His performance is so precise and well-crafted that it is completely hidden in the laughter and playfulness of the movie, making the character's transformation not feel abrupt at all.
From this point of view alone, we may have underestimated the acting skills of this "Shagen". I hope he can contribute more different roles in the future. 】
[The movie is great and the Easter eggs in it are also very interesting.
As soon as Tang Ren and his friends got off the plane, they discovered the counterfeit money in "Wushuang".
There is also a scene where gangsters clash in the bar, and someone says "even the wild dogs can't save themselves", which is obviously linked to "Wolf Warrior".
In addition, in the movie easter egg, Shi Qiang went to find Qin Feng, probably wanting him to join the action in Wang Hao's new movie. I just don't know whether Qin Feng will show up in Wang Hao's new movie.
So, after watching "Detective Chinatown", I am even more looking forward to the subsequent stories of Galaxy Universe. 】
……
The online reviews for "Detective Chinatown" are full of praise, and the movie's box office is also rising steadily.
But Wang Hao doesn't care about these things anymore. The performance of "Detective Chinatown" is what Li Kui needs to worry about. He is also the one who is running the publicity roadshow with Bai Jingting and other leading actors.
As for Wang Hao himself, he has already arrived in the Magic City.
6月11日到6月19日，第14届魔都国际电影节照常举办。
Unlike in the past, this time Wang Hao was invited by the film festival organizing committee, and his film "Wolf Warrior" received several nominations.
Although it is just a science fiction commercial film and seems to be inconsistent with the artistic atmosphere of the Shanghai Film Festival, the film history significance of "Wolf Warrior" with a box office of 10 billion yuan is enough for the Shanghai International Film Festival to pay attention to it.
What's more, "Wolf Warrior" itself is a mainstream movie, and it has creatively broadened the track of domestic science fiction films. Coupled with Wang Hao's connections in Shanghai, his chances of winning the award are still quite high.
Wang Hao came to Shanghai alone. As Inception entered the post-production stage, the early preparations for his next film have also been put on the agenda.
As one of the leading actors in Wang Hao's next movie, Jing Tian of course entered the training stage in advance.
After all, her acting skills are well known. In order not to embarrass Wang Hao, she can only use the stupid method and go to the space center to experience life in advance.
However, there were people in the Magic City who welcomed him.
After all, the Shanghai International Film Festival also has the function of selling films.
Galaxy Pictures also has many production plans in 2011, such as the movie "Bad Genius", which will start shooting after the promotion of "Detective Chinatown" is completed.
There is also "Detective Chinatown", which contains many Southeast Asian elements and can also be sold there.
Therefore, the distribution department of the Galaxy Group arrived in the Magic City early. Since Wang Hao, the big boss of the group, had arrived, they had to come to the airport to pick him up and arrange everything.
Wang Hao arrived in Shanghai on June 6. After arriving here, he first visited an old friend at the Magic Shadow Group, and then, through the other party's introduction, he got to know several local leaders in Shanghai.
Afterwards, he went to the venue of the international film festival and met with the organizing committee.
At the same time, he also met two acquaintances here.
"Bao Qiang, Xu Zheng!"
Wang Hao shouted to the two figures not far away. After seeing Wang Hao, the two people immediately walked up to him happily and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Director Wang!"
"Director Wang!"
Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng stood together, and in a trance, Wang Hao almost thought they were acting in "Lost in Hong Kong".
"Why are you here? Baoqiang, aren't you participating in the roadshow of Detective Chinatown?"
"Director Wang, our movie is premiering at the film festival."
Wang Baoqiang said this with a bit of complacency, and he couldn't hide the proud expression on his face.
"Your movie? Detective Chinatown? I haven't heard that the movie has plans to participate in the Shanghai Film Festival for promotion." Wang Hao looked puzzled.
At this time, Xu Zheng took the initiative to explain:
"It's a new movie in which Baoqiang plays the leading role, Hello! Mr. Tree. The movie is still playing there. I watched it too. It's very interesting."
After Xu Zheng said this, Wang Hao reacted immediately.
"Hello! Mr. Tree" is a masterpiece of Wang Baoqiang. Wang Hao had also seen it in his previous life. The character Mr. Tree perfectly showed the living conditions of the lowest level people in the rural areas, which left a deep impression on him.
It was also with this movie that Wang Baoqiang truly demonstrated his strength and reversed everyone's previous perception of him.
It turns out that this short man from the countryside also has such good acting skills.
