my time as a director

Since 85 years, five tricks have been tried, and none of them have worked.

It was the first to sell oriental folk wonders, such as avanti, red sorghum, and red lanterns.

Relying on Peking Opera arias, Jinxi Courtyard, Lanterns, and Oriental Beauty, it was nominated for a best foreign language film, but was criticized by domestic art workers.

Those who didn't get nominated, didn't see them criticize, but they all jumped out to scold this and that after getting nominated, which is harder to serve than the Oscar judges.

There are also films such as Old Things in the South of the City and Furong Town that show Chinese people struggling in suffering.

The main theme types such as the founding ceremony and Sun Yat-sen.

Heroes, Flying Daggers and other costume blockbusters.

Love art film cloud water ballad, if love.

Building Dreams 2008 on realistic topics.

Every few years the film for the Olympic Games is changed to a different standard, probably on the basis of seniority, those non-professionals who hold the power, pick out a film that they think they hope will be big, and send it to the Olympic Games, maybe they themselves are right. I don't know much about the movies I choose.

A layman leads an expert, that's it. I don't know where they will break through after trying these five types.

This time, Mei Lanfang was determined to go to the Olympic Games. Li Qian guessed that, apart from the key projects of the Ministry of Chemical Industry, the higher authorities may think that Mei Lanfang and Farewell My Concubine have similarities. Farewell My Concubine was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film back then.

And it is rumored that Cheng Kai later asked the Oscar judges why Farewell My Concubine was rejected, and the Oscar judges said that they did not think the movie was bad, but lack of communication.

They thought that Farewell My Concubine had already won the Palme d'Or and the Golden Globe, and they hadn't seen Cheng Kai and the producer's promotional activities about the film, so they thought that Farewell My Concubine no longer needed the Oscar.

It's just a rumor, and I don't know if it's true or not.

The biographical film invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and the qualifications for the Olympic Games were set internally. Mei Lanfang was not only treated like this.

The Ministry of Culture also hosted the embassies of dozens of countries to watch the film to spread Chinese traditional culture.

This weekend, many leaders specifically watched this movie, and there were various Mei Lanfang movie watching sessions and seminars all over the country. They seemed to study this movie and Mei Lanfang as a cultural symbol.

It's like the treatment of a son.

However, the fact that the box office is not good can not be avoided. The box office of 3000 million in three days, compared with the investment of hundreds of millions, the momentum of the film preparation so far, and the main creative lineup of Cheng Kai, Li Ming, and Zhang Ziyi are not qualified.

In the second week of December, Xu Ke's romantic comedy, A Woman Is Not Bad, and Donnie Yen's action film, Ip Man, were released.

Xu Ke is also a director familiar to the audience, but comedies and romances are really not what he is best at.

A Woman Is Not Bad won only 950 million box office in five days in the first weekend, which is slightly better than his other summer romance film "Looking for a Man in the Deep Sea".

As for Ip Man, although Donnie Yen is second only to Li Lianjie and Cheng Long in the field of domestic action movies, apart from the two of them, it is difficult for action movies to sell well in China.

Painted Skin sold for [-] million before, but Donnie Yen, who was named the No. [-] character, was more like a supporting role, and the limelight was stolen by the two heroines, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei.

However, under the pressure of the two films of Moon and Mei Lanfang, the box office of 1320 million in three days is not bad.

Mei Lanfang, who was released in the second week of release, earned 3600 million yuan in a single week, firmly under the pressure of two new films, with a total box office of 11 million yuan in 6640 days.

This week's box office champion is undoubtedly the moon.

In the third week of its release, it once again won 4600 million box office, and the total box office broke 18 million in 2056 days of release, reaching [-] billion!

Breaking 18 million in [-] days!

In the past 18 days, I have watched five or six popular movies during the Lunar New Year, and they can still maintain a very stable trend, and the box office continues to rise!

After crushing the four films of Peach Blossom, The Witness, Love Call Transfer 2, and Tough Guy, the three films that were originally considered to be powerful enemies, Mei Lanfang, Women Are Not Bad, and Ip Man, with a combined investment of more than [-] million yuan, are also included in the film. crushed.

For half a month since the Lunar New Year holiday, the moon has swept all the movies at the end of 2008 even though the most popular movie, If You Are the One, has not been released.The popularity of the Lunar New Year stalls has also reached its peak.

Chapter 164 Han Sanping

"The moon broke 18 million in [-] days, sweeping the Lunar New Year file!"

"Sun crown for 18 consecutive days, and weekly crown for three consecutive weeks, the moon is unimpeded in the Lunar New Year with an unrivaled posture!"

"If You Are the One, the moon cannot be stopped!"

"Mei Lanfang failed at the box office, and Cheng Kai's battle to rectify his name ended in a fiasco."

"Brother Cheng Kai will eventually become mediocre, and Chinese-language films will be ruled by young directors in the future!"

"Except for If You Are the One, all the movies were released by the end of 2008. Li Qian's new film Moon has passed all the way, and more than one popular movie has swept the first half of the Lunar New Year schedule by itself!"

"This new year's showdown between cutting-edge directors and veteran directors finally came to an end with Li Qian's victory, and he became the fifth director in China with a single-film box office break of [-] million!"

"The much-anticipated three films of Mei Lanfang, Women Are Not Bad, and Ip Man failed to stop the progress of the moon. They defeated two great directors in succession. Li Qian started his legendary director career!"

......

It's already mid-December, and all the movies that should be released at the end of this year have been released, only Ma Xiaogang's If You Are the One is left, and it has to wait until the 12th to be released, and there are still two weeks left.

And if You Are the One, who was originally the protagonist of the Lunar New Year show, has now completely given way to the moon. Who made it not released yet, but the moon has been making great progress all the way.

18 broke [-] million, a figure that no one could have imagined.

When Li Qian called out a box office target of [-] million before, not many people recognized it, but the media did not post a post mocking him for overreaching himself.

The box office of the last movie exceeded [-] million, which has already proved his ability. Even if he is considered bragging, it doesn't matter.

If a director who has no box office results brags, even if he only brags 5000 million, he will be ridiculed...or the media may not pay attention to him at all.

However, if it is unexpected, it is unexpected, just blow it hard.

And this time, the three movies that Moon is facing, Mei Lanfang, Women Are Not Bad, and Ip Man, have more big names than the few blockbuster movies at the end of November, and they are more topical.

In the past 10 days, there was no large-scale news that mocked and criticized Mei Lanfang, which was a helpless move.

But it is impossible to block them all the time. Without restraint, on Monday the 15th, the duel between the two heavyweight movies Li Ma Yue and Mei Lanfang was revealed, and then extended to the duel between Li Qian and Cheng Kai, the new and old directors. PK.

In the end, Li Qian stepped on Cheng Kai and succeeded, becoming the fifth domestic director with a box office of over [-] million.

Although it was just a normal film competition, the words used by the media were not so friendly.

However, the less friendly words were all used on Brother Cheng Kai's head.

Frankly speaking, Mei Lanfang passed the test at least, and there were many viewers who complained.

But it's useless, a director who has been promoted to the altar, after making a terrible movie, if he doesn't have an amazing movie, he can only continue to be ridiculed.

As soon as he refuted, he brought up the steamed bun again, killing the game, which made the fans who supported Cheng Kai very helpless.

Facing the extremely mocking voices, Brother Cheng Kai was also ashamed and annoyed, which was short of directly saying that Li Qian stepped on his bloody corpse to rise to the top.
