The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

Although the crew of "Land of Money" kept a low profile as much as possible, it is impossible for this movie not to attract attention just because of the gimmick of Yan Xiu's first directorial work and the rivalry between Yan Xiu and Gu Yu.

What's more, it is the first film starring Gu Yu to be released after "1912".

At the beginning of the summer file, some media listed "The Country of Money" as one of the most anticipated movies in the summer file.

Film critics first got to know the brief introduction of this film, and found that "The Kingdom of Money" turned out to be a business war film.

Generally speaking, when an actor tries his first work in the directing industry, he will choose a low-cost literary film, which is warm and healing, or with a little sadness, and the topic is hot, and the box office will definitely not be bad.

The theme of business warfare, like science fiction, is not a mainstream theme in the current film industry, and it appears more frequently in TV dramas.

"Why did Yan Xiu choose this subject? Isn't it more important to be more stable as a director for the first time?"

"The crux of the problem is not that he chose this subject, but that it is difficult to make a good film on the subject of business warfare, right? Besides, it is his first time making a movie, and the span is too big."

""Land of Money" sounds like a very heavy old Hong Kong Island film, the kind where a group of people fight for money and finally everyone dies together... Yan Xiu can't really direct a film like this? "

Since "Tianji", the media have not bad-mouthed the movies starring Gu Yu anymore. There were too many slaps in the face. They slapped Gu Yu from the king of bad movies to the number one box office. It's really embarrassing to explode a few more media.

But this "Land of Money" is an exception.

Although Yan Xiu's achievements as an actor are well-recognized, he is a pure newcomer after all in the director industry. Even if he and Gu Yu can control their respective roles well as actors, the director is the director of the film after all. Swordsman, whether the connection of the plot is smooth, whether the emotional expression is in place... Actors alone cannot create good works.

Some media are genuinely worried about Yan Xiu and Gu Yu.

Gu Yu himself has no pressure. He will not hope that every movie will be the same as "1912" just because "1912" is a big hit. That is obviously impossible. The pressure on him from "Land of Money" is far less than the release of "1912" will be big.

The summer holidays haven't really started yet, so there's no point in predicting things in advance.

But this is for Gu Yu, and for Yan Xiu, "The Kingdom of Money" is undoubtedly a very important work, which can be seen from the degree of caution of the other party.

Fang Jun hasn't been looking for Gu Yu to work recently. He is outside to help Yan Xiu find connections and get more contacts for the movie when it is released.

The few times Gu Yu saw Yan Xiu, the other party frowned deeply.

As one of the leading actors in the movie, Gu Yu also accepted interviews from several professional film and television media after "Land of Money" was finalized. The interviewer inevitably asked Gu Yu's opinion on the movie "Land of Money" with expectations.

Gu Yu's answer was very frank: "Among the movies I have acted in, "Land of Money" is above the standard line. The script is very good. As an actor, it is difficult to resist the temptation of such a good script. The director is also an actor. He was also involved in the whole shooting process, so he knew better what he wanted, and then helped me understand the script."

In daily life, Gu Yu and Yan Xiu have no big or small habits, but when it comes to interviews, he must say the word director, and his words are full of respect for Yan Xiu.

The reporter who came to interview did not expect Gu Yu to be so optimistic about "The Kingdom of Money", and couldn't help asking: "But we know that "The Kingdom of Money" is a business war film, and this type is not very popular in the market."

Gu Yu smiled: "I know, but we are discussing the topic of movie quality, right? And as far as my own experience is concerned, I am not an actor who chases hot themes."

The reporters thought about it, and felt that Gu Yu was right.The box office blockbusters of the other party were not popular genres, but during the release period, they defeated many movies with hot themes to become the sun crown.

Obviously, the theme of "Land of Money" is not within the scope of Gu Yu's worries.

"Then how much score do you plan to give this "Land of Money"?"

Gu Yu thought for a moment: "Out of 100 points, I can give 90 points."

The journalists looked at each other, which is already a high evaluation.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu was so optimistic about Yan Xiu's directorial debut.

The media acted quickly. The content of Gu Yu’s interview was fully released early the next morning. During the interview, Gu Yu talked about the role, his thoughts on working with Yan Xiu who is not an actor, and also talked about My own opinion on the movie "Land of Money".

Fans were a little surprised.

The outside world has been bad-mouthing "Land of Money" recently. If Gu Yu is more cautious, it is the best choice not to show up at this time.

But after thinking about it, it wouldn't be Gu Yu if he kept his mouth shut.

——Especially in this "Land of Money", it was not he who was under the greatest pressure, but Yan Xiu.

In the public opinion, although Gu Yu is low-key, he has never been absent when it is time to speak up to his friends.

"Gu Shanyu shouldn't be all about helping Yan Xiu speak up. I think that the quality of a good movie he thinks will definitely not be bad."

"I'm looking forward to "Land of Money" now. I heard that Gu Yu and Yan Xiu have a lot of rivalry scenes in it? The point is that the two of them will work together after "Frightening Magpie". It must be exciting 23333."

"Yan Xiu's daring to challenge the commercial battle should be due to his confidence in the script, otherwise he may not be able to direct, let alone invite Gu Yu to participate."

Yan Xiu's fans know each other very well. Yan Xiu looks peaceful on the outside, but he is actually a very unyielding person in his heart.Will the ideas I insisted on when I was young change at will now?

This possibility is not high.

"I would rather believe that Yan Xiu and Gu Yu have joined hands to create a classic work. As the double responsibility of the two, they are the kind of actors who are very responsible for the work."

"+1. What's more, Gu Shanyu gave a score of 90. Will Gu Shanyu lie to us?"

"I will always trust Gu Shanyu (except when he is fishing)!"

"Hey, upstairs, don't stress about fishing! When Gu Shanyu doesn't want to lose face, I only don't believe Gu Shanyu when he runs into a whirlwind!"

"I think that a long, long time ago, I bought Assistant Zhou's cup of milk tea for him..."

The topic ran farther and farther, and it seemed to be a discussion forum for Gu Yu's fans to accuse Gu Yu of his "evil deeds". Even the discussion about "The Kingdom of Money" became less.

The idea of ​​the fans is very simple - what to do with so many thoughts, just buy tickets when the movie is released!

Which movie of Gu Yu did they not support?

Apart from the super gods in the first few movies, has Gu Yu ever let them down since "Jing Magpie"?

……

In this way, amidst the noisy discussions, this year's summer vacation has finally kicked off.

On the weekend of the first week, the film market ushered in two commercial blockbusters with a cost of 3 million+. It is worth mentioning that one of them is a sci-fi theme.

Gu Yu bought a ticket and went to the cinema to watch it. The cost of this film was half that of "1912", and the perspective was not as wide as "1912".

Gu Yu watched it with great interest, and couldn't help pushing the film to director Fei Tao.

The director told Gu Yu that he would watch it, and that night, Gu Yu received a reply full of exclamation points from the director.

Fei Tao also felt that the quality of this sci-fi film was very good. Even though the investment was not enough, the crew made up for it with the plot. Although its angle is not as big as "1912", the details are more interesting than "1912" .

Obviously, it wasn't just Gu Yu and Fei Tao who thought so. The movie successfully recovered its cost after a week of its release, and maintained its number one box office position throughout the week.

Later, a reporter revealed that this film has been conceived for several years, but it could only be filmed intermittently due to financial reasons. After the box office hit of "1912", some local tyrants finally remembered this film. After the funds were in place, the film was quickly completed. , Submitted for review, and finally caught up with this year's summer vacation.

For movie lovers, the summer file is undoubtedly a feast.

Gu Yu took the time to watch several movies, some with aviation themes and ocean themes. The magnificent scenes made him feel excited, and some were thriller and suspense movies. In the summer, he could break out in a cold sweat in the cinema.

Some movies that are not suitable for statutory holidays will also be put on this schedule, of course... there are also super bad movies.

Gu Yu took a new job as a film critic for a professional film and television magazine for a period of time, recommending movies to the audience. The magazine does not require Gu Yu to criticize works, but only Gu Yu to help recommend his five favorite movies.

Gu Yu quickly picked out five works that he recommended, and the one that ranked first was the sci-fi film that both he and Fei Tao liked.

When Gu Yu uploaded his recommendation to Weibo, Fei Tao quickly reposted it.

Movie fans went to the cinema to enjoy this work out of curiosity—this sci-fi film was about to be released, but after being pushed by Gu Yu, the film became popular again, and the box office grew negatively for several days in a row.

Although the increased value has no effect on the total box office of the movie, it is enough to prove the fans' trust in Gu Yu.

The people in the circle are jealous, but they also know that this kind of trust is not available to everyone, it is the trust created by Gu Yu's achievements in each film.

They couldn't achieve Gu Yu's achievements, and it was difficult for them to have the concentration of the other party, so they could only envy each other in private.

The most important thing is that Gu Yu didn't push it blindly. He pushed all the movies with a good reputation in this summer, including high-grossing ones and low-grossing ones that are relatively unpopular in the eyes of the public. They were recommended by Gu Yu Since then, the box office of these movies has also gone further.

"After winning the Maple Leaf Award and "1912" hit the box office, Gu Yu's influence has further expanded. He seems to be more and more adapted to the identity of a filmmaker, just like senior actors like Yan Xiu and directors like Zhao Hang. Yu is no longer just a star, he is also working hard for the development of the entire industry as a filmmaker."

The fight between the various movies lasted for more than a month. Slowly, the end of the summer vacation is coming, and "The Kingdom of Money" will be released soon.
