Chapter 532: Record-breaking! Great Director! Who is against security checks?

When the credits ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

This is the flavor of a historical blockbuster.

It's majestic, and the final easter egg feels like it spans the long river of history.

Audiences who have watched the ending of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff (Part 2)" feel this even more deeply.

At the end of Wu Yusen's story, Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao and Zhuge Liang bid farewell and give the foal Mengmeng to Zhuge Liang.

Xiao Qiao said not to let it go to the battlefield, and Zhou Yu replied that I delivered the baby myself.

The pattern is too small, so it would be fine if there is no comparison. But if there is comparison, the gap in level will be immediately apparent.

Post-screening interview.

The host Jing Wei first asked the audience if they were shocked. Amid the shouts of shock, Jing Wei said, "I am shocked too. Let us welcome our director and the creators of Red Cliff."

Jingwei joked: "It seems that the audience really likes Director Shen's movies. Director Shen always surprises us."

"Thank you, thank you for the audience's love." Shen Santong thanked the audience first, and then recalled: "Thank you to our actors, creators, and behind-the-scenes staff. The time span of the play "Red Cliff" is very long. The project was launched on June 05, 6. It took three years to meet you in the first part, and four years for the second part."

Jingwei: “It’s really hard.”

Shen Santong: "There are too few people doing this in China. A few years ago, most of the special effects in China were outsourced to Hollywood. They worked for a while when there was work, and stopped when there was no work."

"Foreign studios are looked down upon by big ones, and communication is poor, which leads to confusion. Small ones are also worried about their lack of capabilities, and it takes a lot of twists and turns to get a team together."

As the largest investor and the first producer, Han Sanping was very touched: "There was no experience in China before, and Shen Santong's team had no experience to refer to, so they had to cross the river by feeling the stones."

“The visual effects of Red Cliff are very stunning, and it was not easy to make.”

"Many of the pitfalls that Hollywood has stepped into need to be stepped into again, and Shen Santong's team is the first in China to step into these pitfalls."

“No matter how Chinese films develop in the future, starting from Red Cliff, the efforts and seriousness of Shen Santong’s team will be forever engraved in our hearts.”

"Shen Santong's team started the 'film industry' and made films from the perspective of the 'film industry'. Their contribution is enormous."

Han Sanping has a very high opinion of Shen Santong, and he is a real man who gets things done.

"Red Cliff" was made honestly for four years. According to domestic film standards, if Shen Santong had only done half of it, the box office would not have been bad.

He didn't spend any money from the beginning to the end, and tried to save money as much as possible. His professional ethics are first-class.

Jingwei: "I heard that Director Shen summarized his experience and wrote a room full of teaching materials?"

Shen Santong: "We asked students from Beijing Film Academy to intern with our team and record our production process. These materials are all public."

"We have been sharing similar materials all the time. Whether it is shooting techniques or film technology, we are open to both domestic and international users."

Shen Kaiyuan!
Shen Santong is not just doing this temporary hype; he has been working on open source since he first entered the industry.

If you want to learn, teach.

Jingwei asked: "Director Shen, do you think the 'film industry' is the future of domestic films?"

Shen Santong: "I don't like simple binary divisions. In my opinion, film is first and foremost a project. To complete a project, management is required."

"When we were filming Red Cliff, the team behind us was getting bigger and bigger, and many people didn't know what to do or how to do it."

“So we compiled a document ourselves to standardize the work processes of each position, so that newcomers can also work smoothly according to the process.”

"This is not something high-sounding. This model is the most basic training process in companies, factories and construction sites."

"In the domestic film and television industry, it is an innovative behavior and a first. Many movies with huge investments are still in the home workshop stage."

"Some directors in Hong Kong are a little better, and it can be considered a joint work of multiple families."

"I think the first thing for the 'film industry' is standards. If we do a good job of standard management first, we can save a lot of effort and money."

"Based on our experience in making Red Cliff, if we can use a better model, with a certain level of special effects, combined with our country's manufacturing capabilities, the effect and efficiency will far exceed Hollywood."

Talk about the content of the movie.

Shen Santong doesn't think it's perfect: "I have some regrets about the plot. I added a lot of my own ideas and failed to present the beauty of that era."

Jingwei didn't quite understand: "I think it's good, and the audience also thinks it's good."

Shen Santong reflected: "What are the values ​​of the ancient times? The superiors and the subordinates, the ruler is the ruler, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, the son is the son. But in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a chasm between the aristocratic families and the common people."

"Some aspects of the film were not handled well. It did not take the history of the time into account and belittled the aristocratic families."

"In the movie, I showed that those who surrendered had a bad ending, which is, of course, true."

"Cao Cao was badly defeated in the Battle of Red Cliff, but not many generals died. Only a few surrendered generals from Jingzhou died, including Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Zhang Yun."

Jingwei was very surprised. "Red Cliff (Part 2)" completely established Shen Santong's status as a great director. At least he was compared with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai, so no one would find it strange.

Great director, he will also reflect!
Not only Jingwei, but all the guests present were also shocked. Under the director-centered system, the director has a very high status, especially directors with achievements, and no disobedience is tolerated.

The audience's idea is very simple. This is Shen Santong. He is high-profile in life but down-to-earth in work. Domestic directors really need to learn from him. They are all incompetent but still try to be too proud.

Other creators shared their ideas.

The premiere is over.

Representatives from 20th Century Fox Film Corporation immediately reported the situation to the headquarters.

"Red Cliff (Part 3)" is not as good as "Avatar" in many aspects, such as CGI computer special effects and motion capture, but it is a real D movie.

Fox continues to pay attention to "Red Cliff", mainly because Shen Santong has been marketing the concept of 3D movies.

The naked-eye 3D large screen came out of nowhere, and although foreign media gave it a cold reception, industry practitioners were greatly shocked.

"Avatar" is not the world's first 3D movie, but Cameron's team pioneered the technology using their own 3D camera.

Innovative concepts can lead the trend and attract people's attention.

Shen Santong took the lead in taking the 3D concept, which will weaken the innovation of "Avatar".

The head of Fox's Chinese region contacted the media to issue a press release according to the planned plan.

Shen Santong’s 3D is fake, if you want to see real 3D, you have to watch "Avatar".

After the premiere.

"Red Cliff (Part 2)" has received rave reviews.

Movie marketing is intensified and the internet internet army is deployed.

At the same time, Shen Santong deliberately set traps for some media.

Both "Red Cliff" and "The Shallows" have 3D versions.

Cameron explored 3D technology, and he also explored it and made it first.

If the media adopts double standards, it will obviously slap itself in the face.

Shen Santong found it interesting to think about how he was arrogant at first but respectful later, speaking bad words to people at home but flattering others outside.

Fly away notebook.

Preparing for the premiere of the book and recording the show.

He will spend the next period of time abroad.

I won’t go to Korea for the time being, and it’s not easy to get in either, as Korean films are very protectionist.

The reputation of the domestic preview continues to rise.

There are still some media outlets that are critical, saying that the 3D version made people dizzy and even caused vomiting, and they hyped up the scandal.

Some media reported that Cameron's "Avatar" was started earlier than Shen Santong's, the technology was better, and the distinction between real 3D and fake 3D was made.

Shen Santong mobilized the navy to market the father of 3D movies.

Innovation must be in your hands.

One sentence went viral on the Internet.

"From big ships to big ships, domestic films answer."

The first "big ship" refers to "Titanic". This ship is not just a movie, it also hit the hearts of people of that era.

The second "big ship" is the tower ship in "Red Cliff (Part 2)", which is equally shocking, but this time it comes from a domestic film.

7 month 3 day.

Shen Santong's Red Cliff (Part 2) premiered in the book version. It was also released nationwide.

"Red Cliff (Part 8897)" grossed million yuan, and including the preview screenings, it exceeded million yuan on the first day.

The fastest record of breaking 100 million!
Shen Santong once again broke his own record.

7 month 4 day.

Saturday.

The single-day box office hit a new high of 9360 million.

Including the preview screenings, the box office exceeded 200 million in two days.

The fastest record to break 200 million!

October 7th, Sunday.

The box office fell slightly to 8639 million, but still maintained a terrifying single-day box office.

Crazy!

Only crazy can describe it!

No matter how noisy some media are, the offline audiences are extremely crazy.

Scalpers started reselling tickets at the 3D cinema, driving up the price to two hundred yuan per ticket.

What’s even crazier is the audience word of mouth.

Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff (Part 2)" has been screened. It focuses on spoofs. The film market is in an expansion stage. In addition, Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" marketing script is popular, and the box office has exceeded 200 million.

In the past, people said that "Red Cliff" was rubbish, but it did have box office success.

The book did well at the box office and made money.

With Shen Santong's "Red Cliff", it can be said without hesitation that Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" is garbage.

A popular post by netizens, listing various details comparing the two "Red Cliffs".

Fourth, in Shen Santong's "Red Cliff", the boat used to borrow arrows from a straw boat was made according to the real boat, so it had texture. The soldiers on the boat were filled with fear and it was full of details. Even if you knew it was a movie, you would still feel nervous.

In Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", the straw boat was completely hollow, and no one took it seriously.
Sixth, Shen Santong’s war scenes in "Red Cliff" were highly restored, creating an epic feel.

The so-called grand scenes in Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" include explosive packs blowing up blockhouses, grenades, artillery, and Wu's army's death-defying charges.

No one would believe it if it was the Three Kingdoms. When Cao Ying opened the gate, I always felt that a bunch of strong orcs would rush out.
Eighth, the female characters in Shen Santong's "Red Cliff" have few roles, but they are very exciting, like red flowers among the green leaves.

In Shen Santong's "Red Cliff", Zhou Yu went to the battlefield, and Xiao Qiao danced in the air to see her husband off.

As for Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", there is no point in complaining about Xiao Qiao entering the military camp, it is really amazing.

Xiao Qiao slept with Zhou Yu and drank tea with Cao Cao. I don’t know what she was thinking, but Zhou Yu was so angry that his eyes turned green.

At that moment, Xiao Qiao was possessed by Diao Chan. What a beautiful socialite.

Xiao Qiao completely ruined Wu Yusen's film "Red Cliff". It is understandable to create a side plot, but it is too much to mix it into the main plot.

In the end, Cao Cao actually took Xiao Qiao as a hostage. In the last scene, if Hong Kong directors make this kind of movie again, I will feel like a dog, really.

It's not just hot in China; the book version of Red Cliff (Part 2) is also popular.

In the first three days of the weekend, the box office exceeded 10 million US dollars, breaking the record of Zhang Yimou's "Hero".

It is not as good as Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", mainly because Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" used script funding and also starred in the script.

Shen San Tong's films are beginning to take Asia by storm, and their box office in Singapore is also very good.

7 month 6 day.

Shen Santong finished recording a talk show in Singapore and returned to the hotel feeling a little tired.

Something bad happened yesterday.

Security checks are not just a formality, they are also very useful.

The psychological state of normal people and criminals is different.

Normal people will try to evade security checks as long as they think there is a high probability of success, because even if they fail, the worst that can happen is that they can just go through security checks again.

However, for criminals, the probability of evading security checks must be close to 100% before implementation.

Otherwise, if you are unlucky enough to be caught, you will be arrested immediately.

This is similar to a bicycle lock, most of which can be easily broken with pliers.

But when you really want to strangle a car, you have to consider whether you will be discovered by the people around you. This judgment alone can stop most car thieves.

Like chocolate, it can replenish energy for humans, but it will kill dogs if they eat it.

Security checks are not inconveniences for normal people, but rather a form of protection.

It is not easy to achieve seven consecutive years without any serious incidents.

The situation is not that optimistic.

There are many things behind these vicious incidents.

For example, he was once subdued for committing evil in a large southern city.

Subsequent retrospective investigation, combined with the criminal's confession, revealed that this person's initial target was actually an international metropolis.

However, after arriving in this city, when he was about to buy a xxquan kitchen knife, he was told that he must have a license to buy the knife. He then gave up the idea and moved to the above-mentioned city to commit crimes.

For example, in a certain border area, someone attacked a border checkpoint and was later shot dead.

Subsequently, it will be traced back through various records and monitoring records.

Since the criminal was shot dead on the spot, his previous mental activities can only be speculated.

According to surveillance footage, the criminal had previously arrived at a large city and immediately went to the entrance after exiting the train station, but turned back after seeing the entrance security check.

He then wandered around the city, traveling dozens of kilometers in total, passing by a subway station, and finally took a bus back to the train station to wander around because he was afraid to stay in a normal hotel.

He was then taken to a hotel by a scalper to rest and left the next day.

The scalper was subsequently detained by local police.

And while wandering, why did he turn back after seeing the security check, and why did he pass by the subway station many times and linger at the train station?

What would happen if there were no security checks? Would we still be forced into the border?
In the following years, although no vicious cases occurred again, a large number of premeditated vicious plans to commit crimes were uncovered in various places.

There are also a lot of similar stories behind it.

Many of them abandoned or postponed their plans due to security checks or other reasons during scouting, and some of their plots were exposed because they were identified as sensitive elements.

In fact, many domestic measures were implemented after lessons were learned.

For example, security checks, requiring a license to purchase knives, smart surveillance, walls, certain people not being able to stay in hotels, cancellation of night markets and internet celebrity streets in some cities, etc.

The reason behind this may be that some conspiracy has been uncovered and the plan has been learned, or even a bloody lesson may have occurred.

Living in this era, we can see that the society of the University of Tokyo is getting better little by little, expelling external interference and eliminating internal scum.

Peace and tranquility are not innate, they are the result of extremely difficult struggles.

Later, things got better and better, and the border became more and more popular. Whether it was the beautiful scenery or the delicious food, as well as the various fruits and dried fruits of the Production and Construction Corps, all the news was good news.

So many people don’t understand how cruel the real struggle is. They can’t see the darkness not because it doesn’t exist, but because someone is desperately trying to keep it out of sight.

The champion of a certain military district competition joined the special forces. Two years after his retirement, only two of his original team members were still alive.

Shen Santong understood why "No Man's Land" could not be released in his previous life.

After being in the entertainment industry for a long time, I have come to understand that some things are not intentional.

It is a subconscious deconstruction and a subconscious reaction.

It's like a programmed process, habitually moving towards the edge and fragments.

It's not just the film industry. If you look closely, you'll find that some media and media professionals subconsciously stand on the side of criminals.

After taking a shower.

Shen Santong picked up the keyboard and started hitting the master directly.
