That year Huayu

It is always risky for a movie or TV series to adapt the original work too much.

Just like Chen Jiashang's "Four Famous Catchers".

Within five days of its release, the box office reached 103 million, which is a very gratifying thing.

But at the same time, movie reviews from online audiences are also polarized.

"It is a rare martial arts movie. It is infinitely innovative based on the original work. Director Chen's imagination is so wild, and the fighting scenes are also great!"

"The painting style is similar to "Xiuchundao", but it has its own style. They are all excellent products. I look forward to the second part..."

"Zhao Liying, who is new to the big screen, performed well and deserves recognition."

…

""The Four Famous Catchers" looks lively, but in fact it is difficult to convince the audience. It has completely lost the 'core' of the original work and turned into a Gulong style."

"Changing Qingqing to a woman and setting it as the core role is the biggest subversion of the original work. It is disgusting. I suggest everyone not to go to the theater..."

"Zhao Liying, a little-known actress, won the leading role in a series in one fell swoop! Is this a resource person? The entertainment industry is really unreasonable."

…

Both scolding and praise coexist, this is the normal composition of a movie review.

It's just that the evaluation of "Four Famous Catchers" is a bit too polarized.

At this time, two other movies, "Searching" and "Wu-Tang" were released.

In terms of influence, "Wu-Tang" is the least conspicuous. After all, the other two movies have famous directors and large lineups.

"A great director has his own advantage, that is, after disappointing the audience again and again, he can still make them come into the theater again with expectations."

Lu Yang crossed his legs, sat in front of the computer, and said with a slightly teasing tone.

"You can just name director Chen Kaige. However, the quality of his "Search" this time is indeed high-quality, and it is not anticlimactic."

Lin Nan walked out of the tea room and took over Lu Yang's words.

"I'm just summarizing. Am I wrong?" Lu Yang smiled and spread his hands.

"Yes, this is indeed the advantage of great directors and the preference of the audience."

Lin Nan nodded and admitted. He also has this advantage and has maintained it well so far.

Although a small number of viewers find fault with his films every time, this does not affect the overall situation.

As for film critics? He had ignored these guys who were looking for money a long time ago.

…………

Tiangong Color's team has already headed to Hengdian along with Chen Jiashang and others.

Guangguang posted on Weibo: ""The Four 2" officially started production in Hengdian today. We are looking forward to the box office results of the first part, which will successfully exceed 200 million..."

There was no press conference and no visits were accepted in the early stage. The filming of "Famous Catchers 2" started in such a low-key manner.

Shanhai Media has received more cooperation invitations, including drama appointments, advertisements, endorsements, commercial performances...

Most of these roles are for Zhao Liying. After all, there don't seem to be many heroines in movies with a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars.

In Yue Jun's words, "This little girl is already on the right track. As long as she doesn't make any mistakes and follows the steps, she will be fine. Sooner or later she will be on the front line."

…………

Just after hanging up the phone from Tom, Lin Nan received another call from Nortel about what Tian Zhuangzhuang was talking about.

The school hopes to have an interview with Lin Nan, which is full of lobbying.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Nan finally decided to listen to Tian Zhuangzhuang's advice.

"I'm honored to receive an invitation from my alma mater, but I feel it's not the time yet... If there is another chance in a few years, I would like to go back..."

Regarding Lin Nan's half-good answer, the person in charge of contacting him at the school was quite understanding and said that he would convey it to the school leaders.

…

"Not the right time? In how many years?"

"Yes, that's what Lin Nan said. It doesn't sound like he was perfunctory. It should be Director Tian who did the work."

"Okay, let's register first. As long as he lets go..."

…………

The release of "Search" and "Wu-Tang" posed a substantial threat to "The Big Four", with the latter's daily box office dropping to around 10 million.

The former's first-day box office revenue was 14.5 million. The reviews online are almost all very good.

"After so many years, director Chen Kaige finally made a movie that didn't end badly in the second half."

"The story line is clear, the multi-line narrative is not messy, and the rhythm is smooth. "Search" is very good!

But let’s just pretend that the box office target is to exceed that of The Fault in Our Stars, haha..."

"It's amazing. I actually saw the style of director Feng Xiaogang in this movie. Why is this?"

""Search" talks about online violence, which can't help but remind people of:

Is Director Chen accusing and taking personal revenge for the "cyber violence" he experienced after the release of "The Promise"? "

"The one upstairs, "The Promise" deserves it!"

…………

In general, this "Search" has greatly improved some of the negative reviews accumulated by Chen Kaige over the years.

Unlike "Search" and "Famous Four", "Wu-Tang" is a bit miserable.

Not long after the morning ended, negative reviews came out online.

"Was such a clichéd and unoriginal script written with just one's toes? How could a director actually film it?"

"After watching it for ten minutes, you can guess the plot behind it. Sure enough, the treasure hunt and everything are just gimmicks. In the end, the hero and heroine will definitely end up in a life-or-death love!"

"I can't believe that the martial arts director is Yuan Kui. The fight scenes in the movie are not physical, but many of the fight scenes between Yang Mi and Zhao Wenzhuo look like they are dancing, acting coquettishly and being cute!!"

…

Relying on Yang Mi's large number of fans and previous publicity, "Wu-Tang" grossed 9.45 million at the box office on its first day.

But it has to be said that the reputation of the movie has been on the decline.

"Many netizens are saying that she picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon."

Liu Yifei leaned in Lin Nan's arms and pointed at the post on the computer screen.

Lin Nan also looked helpless, "It's better to improve your memory."

Netizens are right. During that time, Zeng Jia took on several dramas for Yang Mi. And "Wu-Tang" and "Search" are both impressively on the list.

The final result, as everyone in the industry knows, was that after Chen Hong and Lin Nan talked on the phone, Yang Mi was replaced from the crew of "Search".

Now it seems, isn’t it just picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon?

Because of Chen Kaige's treatment, "Search" will definitely be shortlisted for some film festival awards in the future.

…………

The casting of "Iron Man 3" in the Mainland has become a hot topic.

Even though the film crew said it was just a supporting role, there are still a large number of first-line actors and actresses flocking to the film.

Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing and others came one after another and became the most popular. Even Lu Zheng was asking Jing Tian for information.

Everyone automatically excluded Liu Yifei, because in foreign language films, Liu Yifei's worst supporting roles were in "Inception".

It is said that the original "Pacific Rim" was only given to Starlight after being rejected by him. So, how could she like the small supporting role in "Iron Man 3"?

…………

With the popularity of summer movies, domestic films with small and medium budgets have begun to be released one after another.

But the most eye-catching ones are "Four Famous Catchers" and "Search".

The former's daily box office remains at 89 million, and the next target is 150 million.

The box office of "Search" reached 42 million after three days of release on the first weekend.

Chen Kaige's bold statement a few days ago that he would surpass the box office of "The Star" has been regarded as a joke and a joke.

"Director Lin, am I going to send out invitations to the premiere of "The Genius"?"

Yue Jun and Lin Nan said hello. This premiere was relatively large.

"Well, let's go. By the way, how much is the box office of Yang Mi's movie?" Lin Nan looked up.

"In three days, it was 20.6 million. The daily box office dropped drastically, reaching 3 million already. Based on this drop, it is estimated that it will not reach 40 million in the end."

Yue Jun gave his prediction, and Yang Mi was a little shocked by this movie.

But fortunately, the foundation accumulated in the previous "Xiu Chun Knife" and "Painted Skin 2" is strong enough, and there are still a large number of TV drama fans to support it, so it does not hurt the vitality.

…

Just as Lin Nan was talking to Yue Jun, Xue Xiaolu arrived.

"Fortunately, I have sent you the finished film of "Love in Seattle"."

Xue Xiaolu walked into Lin Nan's office with a smile on her face. She went to Tiangong Color first and chatted with Lu Yang for a while before coming here.

"Sister Xue, sit down."

"Director Xue."

Xue Xiaolu came not only to deliver the finished film, but also to deal with the schedule.

"When does Sister Xue want it to be released?" Lin Nan asked.

"February or March next year. I see that your company has three movies lined up for the second half of the year. I won't join in on this one."

Before Xue Xiaolu came, she had already thought over and over again that early next year would be the best.

"How about putting it on Valentine's Day?" Yue Jun suddenly suggested.

Lin Nan nodded and said in unison with Xue Xiaolu, "This is a good time, and it goes well with the movie!"

"Then choose Valentine's Day. Shall we go see the finished film now?" Lin Nan stood up and invited.

"good."

…

On Tiangong Color's side, even Lu Yang put down what he was doing and gathered around to watch.

How do you describe this "Love in Seattle"?

It is different from "Love Is Not Blind". Although the majority of moviegoers may be women, this movie is more female-oriented.

That is, no matter how "indiscreet" a woman has been before, in the end she can find an honest man to take over and be tolerated and loved.

If you look into it carefully, there may be some problems with the three views, but since it is a commercial film, these problems are not a problem. After all, women’s spending power ranks first!

…………

Nortel, China National Theater and other schools held grand graduation ceremonies for undergraduates and graduate students.

Many media went to the scene and reported on it.

Lin Nan posted a message on Weibo: "Congratulations to Director Guo Fan for graduating from graduate school and officially returning to the team. Get ready to work!"

For a time, many actors and actresses in the industry were retweeting, liking and commenting to congratulate Aite Guofan.

Even Zhao Yanzi, who attended the graduation ceremony together and was both an outstanding graduate but had nothing in common, took the initiative to show his kindness.

Guo Fan was very spiritual and immediately sent his graduation photo and said:

"My working career has officially begun. Director Lin is a very good boss!"

…………

As planned, invitations to the premiere of "The Genius" began to be distributed to established companies, filmmakers, actors and artists in the industry, and the momentum was not small.

At this moment, Wang Changtian seemed very calm, because there would be almost no conflict between "The Four" and "The Genius" at the box office.

After all, when the latter was released, "Four Famous Catchers" could basically be finished.

But Chen Kaige was a little uneasy.

"Genius" will definitely have an impact on "Search". The release of the two movies overlapped for 10 days!
