Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Seeing the last scene, many insiders have noticed one thing: this is a wonderful classic shot!

The absolute charm of a movie or a story lies in this: there are countless good stories in the world, but the true meaning of the story that can leave an unforgettable and deep impression on people is the true meaning of the story.

What's more, Su Yun's selection of material this time is also within the shackles of the theme of "history", dancing a dance that has never broken through the shackles but has a special flavor.

When the "country" is presented as a "person", those long-standing heaviness and emptiness seem to be used in another way to meet the people of this era.

So I have to say that Su Yun's approach this time is really wonderful. The four ancient civilizations are transformed into human beings, and the personifications of each country have their own unique characters based on the country's impression. It has become a stage for fighting, allowing you "people" born in time to start their magnificent lives.

The most important thing is that when Su Yun chose the actors for the main roles, she really chose actors from the countries corresponding to the characters in the play as much as possible, such as Jim Rose Stewart who played the role of Romulus in the "Ancient Roman Country" That pair of intoxicating emerald green eyes and facial features that are as delicately carved as a classical painting, leaving alone the back view of the person she admired in her heart when she left alone, made countless female audiences who watched the movie feel very distressed.

According to rumors, Jim Rose Stewart, a young Italian actor, was recommended by Jalan, who starred as Francis in his true colors in this movie.

I heard that when Zha Lan first introduced people to Mary Su, she was just entrusted with favors, so she wanted to find a way for a friend’s child to enter the circle; in the end, Mary Su was a very calm "boss" , After signing the contract, I let it go for a few years, until the time is right, and then I officially issued a call to join the group.

In view of this rumor, everyone has to think of Mary Sue's philatelic party behavior in those years...

After all, Jim Rose Stewart was not the only one who was targeted early but was released to wait for growth. There was also Amami Yuki from a well-known theater troupe in Japan.

And Tian Haiyouxi's role in "Once Upon a Time in Kyushu" this time is undoubtedly the Japanese girl who lived in the eastern mainland after being rescued by "Zhong Yao".

In "Once Upon a Time in Kyushu 1: Old Dreams of the Ancient Country", the girl Aju played by Amami Yuki has changed from the handsome and handsome girl she used to be when she was a male character in the troupe. Nadeko's incomplete gentle appearance, even the smile is a subtle beauty full of etiquette and cultivation.

Only occasionally when she sees her sister "Zhong Yao" who occupies an important position in her heart come to visit her, Aju will show a heartfelt joyful smile, just like the scattered cherry blossoms finally clustered together, will not The eye-catching light and light colors turn into overwhelming splendor.

But after "Zhong Yao" left due to various reasons, she was also a figure staring at him from afar. Those eyes that were as quiet as a deep pool were not as gentle and affectionate as the emerald green eyes. The water, which has not seen the sun for a long time, seems to be quietly brewing some treacherous thoughts to stir up wind and waves.

Especially the coldness and unwillingness that flashed across the eyes in the close-up shot made people vaguely see some indescribable things, which were so poignant and shockingly beautiful, but also with the inborn cruel.

But compared to Romulus, who is like a white moonlight, and Aju, a girl with strange thoughts, Ivan, who was rescued in the ice and snow and quickly grew from a handsome boy to a mature uncle, will "love" these two The words were clearly engraved on the face.

Whether it's Daniel Strahov who plays the young Ivan, or Vasily Rannovoy who plays the adult Ivan, the handsome appearance and the deepening love in the eyes always bring the uniqueness of the northern continent. Some are bitter and tough, and after the admiration and love of youth increased day by day to the repression and endurance of adulthood, excessive love seemed to ignite into a raging fire that devoured everything.

In the final analysis, among the stories truly recorded by time, there are historical reenactments of struggles for various reasons one after another.

In the story, there is only one of the four ancient civilizations known for their longevity, and the only remaining "Zhong Kingdom" has fallen into a stage of prosperity and decline... Then, when the ancient country that began to decline meets the prime of life of the other new countries , It must be a battle for resources, for desires, and for many, many things.

When the prosperity of the past is gone, it is time to forge ahead with heavy burdens.

The first-week box office of "Once Upon a Time in Kyushu 1: Old Dreams of the Ancient Country" is not considered an overly good batch in every region where it is released. The good ones are probably the top three and the top three in Asia, such as Asia, especially Hong Kong, Macau, and China. The mainland, Japan, South Korea and other places; not good enough, such as North America and Europe, are at the middle level of the rankings.

If it were someone else, this result would actually be quite good; but if this result is compared with Su Yun's usual "Box Office Bomb", it is indeed worse than the previous result by more than a star and a half.

Therefore, even if the Asian market with local advantages has the potential to be the top three of the year, this result is considered to be "not good enough", "too self-indulgent and forget the original intention", "committed to Wenqing disease" and other evaluations-after all, Europe and the United States The market over there occupies the bulk of the box office figures in this era. When the subject matter is not very popular in the European and American markets, the overall box office figures will naturally plunge accordingly.

However, compared to the slightly stretched hips but still able to make a small fortune at the box office, people from all walks of life in various districts have two extremes about the content and core of this movie.

Those who like it feel that this is an in-depth discussion of a new field, a pioneer of a new theme, and the first part of a series full of expectations—especially the impressive shot at the final enthronement ceremony , it is very much for the audience who watched this movie to have a sense of anticipation for the next "Once Upon a Time in Kyushu 2: Moving Forward".

Those who don't like it naturally have all the reasons: excessive childishness, boasting, smearing friendly countries, destroying friendship between friendly countries and peoples, etc., etc., only unexpected and unexplainable.

However, such controversies with mixed reviews affected the growth of subsequent box office figures in the following weeks.

From the very beginning of establishing this series, Su Yun knew that it would definitely attract more controversy than other films she had ever produced, so she was mentally prepared early: Although no matter what era there are some weird People, but patriots are never less.

When the "country" is personified and "history" is repeated, the places and people where the cloak is uncovered, except for a few who understand the truth and admit their mistakes, most of them will definitely become angry and curse.

Therefore, Su Yun also made preparations early on. While trying her best to retain the "criticism" that can promote healthy development, she also secretly made great efforts to cover those fragrant mouths.

As for the direction of the discussion topics, a lot of manpower and material resources have been spent to guide the direction of the topic and ensure the expected direction-the money spent on this part of "public relations" is even more expensive than the production of the entire film. The cost will be much more.

To be honest, after the rapid development of information transmission methods along with the development of technology, the cost of film publicity and distribution began to account for more and more weight, until it far exceeded the production cost.

When Su Yun used this "case" as a reference for Kevin Costner, the extremely detailed data sheet and the final effect visible to the naked eye made Kevin Costner and Universal The staff is shocking.

With the combination of Ovitz's two swords, their public relations company took over another big business of more than 2 million yuan.

By the way, the public relations company He Pingsi and Su Yun cooperated with and focused more on the Asian region was also allocated one-third of the quota for the public relations and publicity funds in the Asian region-"Future Water World" is very important. It is possible to obtain the right to introduce the Chinese mainland, so the propaganda in the Asian region cannot be ignored.

After taking over such a big business, plus the original film productions of his own company and Su Yun's future film productions, He Pingsi couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder you persuaded me to cooperate with you to make this film. , This kind of 'self-produced and sold' and 'business solicitation' is really shocking..."

Su Yun smiled: "Otherwise, how could my father have made up his mind to spend a lot of money to build his own industry into a dragon that does not need to rely on outsiders in that era when separate production methods were popular?"

If there is no "one-stop", whether it is difficult to deal with problems in the production process, or problems in various aspects in the follow-up, it is impossible to track and solve them in a timely manner.

In the new era of rapid technological development, the way of public relations will also change with the times. If you can't update your ideas and cognition in time, you will be easily abandoned by the times.

There have never been many tragic cases of those who failed to keep up with the development of the times and were finally killed on the beach by the waves of the times.

He Pingsi nodded, agreeing with Su Yun's idea: "Indeed, so you should simply 'master' this level more, so as not to cause any complications."

"Moreover, after mastering this level more, there are many things that are easy to miss during the production process. I can also learn through this way..." Su Yun added.

"Speaking of this... I really have some news to tell you." He Pingsi suddenly remembered something when he heard this, and immediately continued, "I thought it was a bit strange at first, but it seems It really doesn't seem like a big deal, so I plan to tell you after you finish this part, but since you mentioned it, I'll just mention it—"

"Do you know that a novel about Peking Opera actors is about to be adapted into a movie recently, and the production team approached Zhuang Long and Zhang Querong successively?"
