This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 831 Help Wu Baige to improve (ask for monthly ticket)
"First it was The Forbidden Kingdom, then Red Cliff (Part 1)", which reminded me of a saying, 'Kill the gods to prove your truth...'"

Xu Ke was filled with emotion.

"Pfft, I've only heard of killing one's wife to prove his truth!" Huang Jianxin laughed.

"This...haha!" Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, then started laughing too.

His wife is a bit old...

"The old and the new will compete on the same stage. I'm afraid we'll see this more often in the future." Huang Jianxin looked at the wine in the glass and sighed, "When I was young, I could drink a bottle of this kind of wine. Now..."

"Same, all the same. I can't even stand up after drinking half a bottle." Xu Ke is also a veteran.

He released a movie called "Deep Sea" in June.

The film was shot underwater in Okinawa Island and is the first Chinese film to be shot entirely on real underwater locations.

In addition to using the world's most advanced underwater filming equipment, not only the photographer, but also the lighting technician, director, and other crew members of the actors have to work underwater.

All the crew members learned to dive.

The movie was completed before "Painted Skin" and cost 10 million US dollars, which was about 75 million RMB according to the exchange rate at the time.

In terms of overall quality, "The Lost Tomb" can be regarded as a high-quality work, and the underwater shots in the movie are also magnificent.

Xu Ke originally thought that this film would help his film career rebound.

Unfortunately, in order to successfully enter the mainland cinema market, Xu Ke's "Deep Sea Search" made large-scale cuts to the supernatural and ghost scenes in the film.

Excessive cuts also made the film's plot a mess.

In the end, "The Lost Tomb" took in 2200 million RMB at the box office in mainland theaters, and it was also a huge success in Hong Kong.

2200 million!

Xu Ke fainted in the toilet from crying.

With a cost of nearly 8000 million, it only grossed 2200 million at the box office, which is not even cannon fodder.

He now places his hopes on the movie "Painted Skin" which he co-produced with Hao Yun.

"You say..." Xu Ke drank a glass of wine and asked hesitantly, "If the box office of Painted Skin explodes, will it be Hao Yun's or mine?"

Huang Jianxin didn't seem to hear clearly at first. He smacked his lips and then burst into laughter, pointing at Xu Ke: "You actually think so. Old Xu, have you really accepted your age?"

"Do you know that under Hao Yun, Ning Hao, Cao Dun, Rao Xiaozhi, and Lu Yang are four generals, all of whom are young people born in the 1970s and 1980s, and each one is more powerful than the other."

When Xu Ke was filming "Painted Skin", he had come into contact with all of these people.

In fact, he didn’t know that Heidou Media had added Han Yan and Guo Fan, and Wu Jing had also started to be a director.

"New directors have their own sharpness, and we old guys have our own foundation. There's nothing to be sentimental about. Old Xu, I just refuse to admit that I'm old. Not only do I want to shoot 'The Founding of a Republic', I also want to shoot 'The Founding of a Party'. Haha, I will never give up fame, wealth and power until I die." Huang Jianxin is very heroic.

"That's true..." Xu Ke was mainly devastated by the consecutive movies.

Starting from "Seven Swords", each film is worse than the last.

He was looking forward to the success of Painted Skin, but was also worried that after the success of Painted Skin, people would say that he had taken advantage of Hao Yun's success.

"However, Hao Yun is not without problems." Huang Jianxin and Xu Ke clinked their glasses.

"What's the problem?" Xu Ke was puzzled.

"There's something wrong with his brain... He doesn't want to be a good director but wants to be the best actor!" Huang Jianxin couldn't help but complain.

He is a good guy and doesn't complain about young people easily.

I drank too much today and I really have to vomit.

"Well... who hasn't had a dream of becoming a movie emperor?" Xu Ke said dimly.

In fact, he has also been an actor with pretty good acting skills. He dreams of becoming a director and an actor one day.

The two old men were drinking and complaining about Hao Yun.

Hao Yun was still watching a movie with An Xiaoxi.

To be precise, Hao Yun was watching a movie and An Xiaoxi had fallen asleep in his arms.

Take the morning flight from Yunnan to the capital.

I didn’t have a nap at noon, so I went out shopping for half a day in the afternoon.

She was already tired and sleepy, and the "Red Cliff (Part 1)" was not that good to watch, so she fell asleep naturally.

Hao Yun didn't fall asleep, not because he appreciated the movie very much.

The main thing is that he is full of energy and doesn't get sleepy easily.

As far as he is concerned, Wu Yushen is really no longer good. He used to be able to make some decent movies, but now each one is worse than the last.

This is not the Wu-Shu coalition, this is our own army. The generals are talking about the people and the people are silent. I thought that the Red Cliff was silent and the own army was going to rescue. Moreover, these generals have suicidal tendencies.

All of them, including Zhou Yu, went into battle alone without leading any troops. They all wanted to "take the general's head among a million soldiers."

If you don't want to bring troops, then don't bring troops. You can just throw weapons around and throw them away whenever you want. You know, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was a top-grade weapon with excellent forging skills in the late Han Dynasty. But Guan Yu actually threw it twice!

The most exaggerated one is Zhang Fei, who attacks with his bare hands without any weapons.

The civil servants are all too dark.

If he hadn't been wearing white clothes, waving a feather fan, and "fighting with Zhou Yu" at Zhou Yu's residence, one would have thought that Jin Chengwu was playing Bao Zheng solving a case.

The most important thing is that the lines are written with thunder and lightning.

The first few lines of dialogue by Cao Cao in semi-classical Chinese were quite good and touching, but why did they have to end up in a situation where he was worried that the pigeons would catch a cold? Why bother?

It is indeed difficult to please the audience by adding humor to period costume blockbusters, especially with a subject like "Red Cliff", which can really feel shocking.

Hao Yun originally went there for the grand war scenes.

However, this movie seriously lacks large-scale war scenes, especially large-scale movement shots. Instead, the single martial arts scenes play the main role. Is the film trying to package itself into a successful kung fu film so that it can be sold overseas?

The war scenes are definitely a failure, so bad that they make people feel bored...

Hao Yun thought that if he had the chance one day, he would definitely make a large-scale movie to let these people know what "face" meant!
Finally, the film was almost over, the pigeons had flown away, the war had been fought, Sun Shangxiang had been seduced, and Xiao Qiao had become pregnant. Hao Yun was originally ready to wake up An Xiaoxi and leave.

The movie has to expose the scars and ends with a game of Cuju!
That’s right, Cuju!
Is this a deliberate attempt to disgust the fans by using the Chinese national football team?

Maybe Wu Baige was serious about this movie, but to the point of being funny.

If I have to pick some advantages to evaluate.

The music is okay. Although the guqin section is not beautiful, the sound of swords and horses is rumbling, which is quite distinctive and fits the plot.

In addition, this movie has a very Neon Warring States style.

It tells the story of a brutal war that broke out between three daimyo.

They were Oda Masanori, the right minister who controlled the Gyeonggi region and the emperor, Uesugi Nakamune, who ruled the southeast and was known as the "Tiger of the South", and Makino-no-kami Kobayakawa Gentoku, who raised the slogan of "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians" and led the wild samurai in a rebellion against the Oda family.

It seems that Wu Baige really attaches great importance to the Neon market.

I hope he's happy making money over there.

As a competitor, Heidou Media felt obligated to buy a lot of press releases for Wu Baige.

Pointed out the loopholes in "Red Cliff (Part 1)" and helped Wu Baige improve.

The main battlefield is Heimi Weibo. Tian Mengyan is already gearing up to turn Heimi Weibo into a battlefield for movie quarrels.

Let everyone actively participate in the fight between "Red Cliff (Part 1)" and "20 Again".

This not only promotes their own movies, but also brings traffic to Weibo.

If there are similar "activities" in the future, everyone will choose to battle on Weibo.

"7 Again" was released on July 11th.

The premiere will be held at 2:00 p.m.

Many filmmakers who attended the screening of Red Cliff (Part 1) yesterday chose to stay in the capital for one night so they could attend the premiere of 20 Again the next day.

The positioning of "20 Again" is very simple, it is a commercial film.

In fact, the core belongs to the director, and the viewing is up to the audience. Whether it is a commercial film or an art film is a sensory concept.

"Back to 20" continues the original crew of "Those Years".

It only cost 30 million, but everyone knows what this 30 million means.

Otherwise, the pay for Hao Yun, An Xiaoxi and Chen Guanxi alone would not be only 30 million.

A few years ago, Chen Guanxi was forced by a rich woman to film "Seven Hours Time Difference" and his salary was 20 million.

Even if he is shooting a normal movie, his salary will not be less than eight million.

So, no one is looking down on "20 Again".

They all treat it as a blockbuster movie with a cost of hundreds of millions.

Before yesterday, there were still people betting on which of the two films, "Red Cliff (Part 1)" and "20 Again", would win.

However, the collapse of word-of-mouth after the premiere of "Red Cliff (Part 1)" yesterday made this comparison less suspenseful.

Unless "20 Again" also suffers a similar collapse in reputation.

But since Hao Yun made his debut, he has made about ten films, including those he directed himself, as well as those he produced or wrote. Even if there were controversies, the reputation of any of these films had never collapsed.
