New Age Artists

Chapter 424 Crying! (13 words!) ()

Shen Santong was dumbfounded!
Wu Yusen was also dumbfounded!

All parties involved were dumbfounded!
Even in mainland companies, countless people secretly hope that Shen Santong will fail and laugh at him.

Especially Shen Santong's map cannon, almost all the well-known directors were scolded.

A director who can make a big-budget costume blockbuster has some status.

Unfortunately disappointed again!

Wu Yusen collapsed just like that.

terrible!

From now on, no one will dare to compete with Shen Santong for the schedule of films with the same subject matter and genre. It is really too miserable.

The total box office revenue of Wu Yusen over three days is only slightly higher than that of Shen Santong in a single day.

Triple kill!

Everyone started looking for the reason.

First of all.

Wu Yusen didn't make many mistakes outside of the movie "Red Cliff".

The publicity and promotion after the release was reasonable.

After seeing that the audience was disgusted with the role of Zhuge Liang in the book, he decisively changed his publicity and promotion strategy.

Hu Jun's version of Zhao Yun bravely charges into battle!
Don’t mainland audiences like mainland actors? Start distributing press releases.

Wu Yusen personally confirmed that Hu Jun portrayed Zhao Yun as "brave, tenacious and loyal".

The details of the filming were introduced. When shooting Zhao Yun's fighting scenes, 13 cameras were facing him, which was very imposing.

In the opening highlight, the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun, played by Hu Jun, rode a white horse and charged through the mud, holding his spear against more than a dozen Cao soldiers, looking quite impressive.

John Woo emphasized Hu Jun's mighty and heroic appearance, and the role can almost be seen as tailor-made for Hu Jun.

Zhao Yun's superb riding skills, handsome martial arts moves and expression are enough to attract the audience's attention.

The scene where Zhao Yun rides a white horse alone and holds a silver spear is not inferior to that of Liu Dehua in "Resurrection of the Dragon".

Continue to highlight the love scenes!
No more tenderness, subtlety, or anything like that.

When promoting the product, Lin Chi-lin directly opened the microphone and showed off her sweet baby voice.

Stand up, stand up!
The one standing up is not necessarily a horse!
That thing can also stand up!

They really tried their best in publicity and promotion!

It's a pity that the effect is not great.

The reputation collapsed.

The contrast is really too tragic!
There are big problems with Wu Yusen’s movie “Red Cliff”!
Following the release of the film, audiences entered the theaters.

Not only is there offline communication, but there is also sharing and commenting on Dongtian.com.

Shen Santong's website is definitely truthful!

Support justice comparison!

A film critic made a comparison and posted it.

Just from the characters, the contrast is so tragic.

When comparing the two major issues of anti-war and structure that Shen Santong talked about at the premiere, we can find that Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" inexplicably fits the bill.

Wu Yusen lost from the most basic casting and character creation!

Zhuge Liang in Shen's version of "Red Cliff".

Zhou Jie has great acting skills, strong explosive power, unparalleled wisdom, and is able to plan and strategize, as well as having the insight of an old fox.

In silence, wisdom comes into view.

Even when moving, he can be seen to be calm and composed.

Grasp the overall situation from beginning to end and remain composure in critical moments.

Wu version of Zhuge Liang.

Four words: Dog-headed Military Advisor.

Can Takeshi Kaneshiro play Zhuge Liang?
I can’t act!

He looks so frivolous, just a clown dressed up as Wu Hou.

Zhou Yu in Shen's version of "Red Cliff".

Lu Yi’s performance is high-spirited and incredibly handsome, and he is devoted to the foundation of Sun Wu.

Wu version of Zhou Yu.

Liang Chaowei's Zhou Yu has a fake smile on his face, and he and Jiang Gan have a passionate feeling.

The incredible plots come one after another.

Sun Quan was almost bitten to death by a tiger!

He sacrificed himself to block the arrow for Zhao Yun and ignored Sun Ce's great cause!

Is this General Zhou Yu?
He is clearly the traitor in "Infernal Affairs"!

Without talking about the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, let’s just talk about Zhou Yu’s feelings for Sun Ce and his promise to Sun Ce.

Not to mention that Zhou Yu would definitely not let Sun Quan take the risk, if anyone dared to suggest this idea, Zhou Yu would twist off his head on the spot and kick it like a ball.

It's easier said than done without comparison.

Compared with Lu Yi's Zhou Yu, it's like a car accident scene.

Many people were surprised to find out.

What the hell!

Lu Yi’s acting is so awesome!
Much more awesome than the Zhou Yu played by Liang Chaowei.

Liang Chaowei's mouth shape looks awkward no matter how you look at it on the big movie screen.

You can’t even speak the most basic Mandarin and your lines properly, and you’re still acting in a movie?

The issue of lines is very basic and many viewers have never thought about it before.

When comparing movies with the same theme, I really found that Liang Chaowei's acting skills are not that strong.

The key is Lu Yi!
In Shen's version of "Red Cliff", he was crushed to death by Zhou Jie.

He was overwhelmed by Sun Quan played by Huang Xiaoming, who had fewer roles than him.

Compared with Feng Yuanzheng and Director Chen, he is even worse.

Lu Yi's acting in Shen's version of "Red Cliff" is just average, neither good nor bad.

Then go watch Wu's version of "Red Cliff".

If you look at the clips of Liang Chaowei acting opposite mainland actors, you will find that the mainland actors crush Liang Chaowei in every way.

Hu Jun's handling of details is much better than Liang Chaowei's.

The only actor who can hold up to Wu's version of "Red Cliff" in terms of acting skills is Zhang Fengyi's Cao Cao.

His acting skills can compete with Director Chen Shen's version of Cao Cao.

but!

Wu Yusen will take action!

There are some funny bits in Shen Santong’s Cao Cao in “Red Cliff”.

But it's funny because the audience is in a God's perspective, and the jokes come naturally.

The Cao Cao in Shen's version of the play is extremely domineering and he always keeps his word.

The desire for great unification and a great country can be felt directly by the audience through the screen.

His disdain for Emperor Xian of Han, his ruthlessness and decisiveness in killing Kong Rong, his cold-eyed observation of the ugly struggles among his famous scholars, and his mighty and majestic manner in which the tiger generals bowed their heads one by one.

He was a hero of the Three Kingdoms period. He pursued Dong Zhuo, killed Zhang Miao, and fought against Zhang Xiu at Guandu. He was a great hero who unified the north!
Wu version of Cao Cao?
For Xiao Qiao!

The Battle of Red Cliff was fought for a woman. Wouldn't it be nice to be an emperor and leave a name in history?

Does Cao Cao lack women?

Moreover, in history, Cao Cao never suffered any loss from women. In history, Cao Cao wanted to kill Zhang Xiu, and he bribed his subordinate Hu Che'er, but the secret was leaked, which led to Zhang Xiu's rebellion.

It’s not because Cao Cao is reckless and lustful.

No matter how good Zhang Fengyi's acting skills are, coupled with the cerebral palsy plot, he is still severely crushed by Director Chen.

Feng Yuanzheng's Liu Bei makes people feel that he is the real Liu Bei in history.

It is not the image of weaving straw sandals like in Wu's version.

Huang Xiaoming's Sun Quan is brave and resourceful. He took on the foundation of Sun Wu at the age of 26 and chose to rebel under pressure from Cao Cao.

If I really had a son, I would hope he would be like Sun Zhongmou.

In Wu's version of Sun Quan, Zhang Zhen couldn't even speak the basic lines in Mandarin properly.

How about shaping!
The plot design is also not courageous.

A comparison revealed that the problem was not just the casting, but also a gap in the director's understanding.

Shen's version of Sun Quan never thought that fighting the Battle of Chibi was a problem.

It just needs more power.

So he asked Zhou Yu to strengthen his preparations and bring Liu Bei in if necessary.

Wu Yusen's version of Sun Quan believes that Sun Quan lacks courage and can fight once his courage is awakened.

Is this just playing house?

Zhao Yun in the Wu version of "Red Cliff".

Hu Jun is not suitable to play Zhao Yun. His image does not fit the role and gives people the feeling of Zhang Qing without arrows.

Moreover, Zhao Yun saved A Dou and carried him on his back, just like in "The Dragon Resurrects His Armor". A Dou was really lucky not to die.

Moreover, Hu Jun Zhao Yun mainly fought on foot and rarely fought on cavalry.

Shen's version of "Red Cliff".

Many viewers did not recognize Wu Jing's Zhao Yun as Wu Jing at first.

Too tough!

He is loyal and brave, and he fights from the beginning to the end. He has a lot of scenes and the fighting is very exciting.

The pace is fast, and it takes only about ten minutes from start to finish.

Various small plot designs and small climaxes.

Especially when he was holding A Dou in his arms, he rushed forward towards the arrows.

He is simply the Shu Han and Three Kingdoms version of Superman.

He can always play some jokes on Adou in his arms, and take the young lord with him to kill him seven times!

Crush!

Shen's version of "Red Cliff", Yu Rongguang's Guan Yu, and Zhang Shan's Zhang Fei are much better than Wu's version.

Wu's version of Guan Yu has no arrogance, no heroism, nothing at all.

Wu's version of Zhang Fei is more like the Black Whirlwind Li Kui who can use the Lion Roar skill.

Female characters.

The female characters in Shen's version are all stunningly beautiful.

Tong Liya’s Xiao Qiao, Wang Zhi’s Sun Shangxiang, and Yan Ni’s Madam Gan.

Dong Xuan played Da Qiao, He Qing played Madam Cai, Gao Yuanyuan played Zhen Ji, Fan Bingbing played Diao Chan, and Tang Yan played Huang Yueying.

Maids played by Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Huo Siyan, Gao Lu, etc.

Just right, to the point.

Xiao Qiao, played by Tong Liya, dances in the boudoir, seeing Zhou Yu off from afar.

Wang Zhi's Sun Shangxiang is agile but never overshadows the main character.

Yan Ni’s Mrs. Gan has a lot of scenes, but they just take advantage of the plot.

In contrast, in Wu's version of "Red Cliff", Sun Shangxiang shouted, "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of every woman."

The soldiers on the front line just need to devote themselves to the battlefield and fight hard to kill the enemy, but the people in the rear have a lot of things to consider?
unbelievable!

And this sentence is not from the Three Kingdoms period!
This was said by Gu Yanwu in the late Ming Dynasty!

The opening line of Shen Santong's version of Cao Cao, "We must first stabilize the country before we can fight against foreign enemies," has also been examined and analyzed, and found to stand up to scrutiny.

A comparison will tell the difference!

Sun Shangxiang also acupunctured Liu Bei.

Acupressure is awkward, and it's distracting to add martial arts into a historical film.

It would be fine if he just pressed the acupoints, but he also pressed Liu Bei's acupoints.

Liu Bei is the monarch!

Where is Zhao Yun?
If security captain Zhao Yun doesn't stab Sun Shangxiang to death with his gun, he must have grown up eating nothing!

Wu Yusen's version of Xiao Qiao has exceeded the scope of evaluation.

The main plot is messed up, Mengmeng, stand up and don't let it be a war horse.

Extremely ridiculous.

Shop around and you’ll die!
There is a huge gap between the two versions of "Red Cliff".

7 month 6 day.

Wu Yusen takes a break during the roadshow.

After sitting for a while, a middle-aged man came over and said, "Director Wu, we invested in your film because we love it. How can the box office be like this?"

Wu Yusen said impatiently: "China Film will divide the money first, you should talk to China Film first! It's an investment, there will be losses and compensations!"

Sato came in and pushed the middle-aged man out the door.

Seeing that the middle-aged man wanted to say something, Sato shouted in Chinese with an accent: "My investment is more than ten times yours, shut up!"

The middle-aged man wanted to cry but had no tears, and Wu Yusen's face simply changed.

It was not like this when I approached him for investment three years ago!
The international director made many promises.

I admired and believed in each other so much that I also brought in a lot of friends and relatives.

The invested money had no returns for three years and was on the verge of losing everything.

Such a rude attitude, it's so hurtful!
Sato closed the door and urged, "We must find a way! Otherwise, I will expose all the things that happened to Lin Zhilin and all your bad deeds!"

Wu Yusen's face changed, and he was relieved when he remembered that he was resting in a single room: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Sato said in a sinister voice: "You know!"

in the afternoon.

When Wu Yusen was on the roadshow, he walked out of the theater and suddenly burst into tears.

There was a camera pointed right at him.

Wu Yusen said: "He has status, he has background, he bullies people!"

"Golden time, golden show, my Red Cliff is only a fraction of his!"

"I gave up my career in Hollywood just to spread traditional culture. Is that wrong?"

"His review website smears our movie. How many people criticize it without even watching the movie? At least watch it before you comment!"

"I want our work to be recognized by the world, so I have to remove all the things that are threshold in the work. Things with national characteristics cannot be retained because foreigners cannot understand them."

“I love my country!”

Wu Yusen cried!
The international director cried!
With the help of some channels on Wandao Island, Shen Santong started suppressing Wu Yusen from the afternoon, and the situation spread like a virus among the penguin groups.
