This director only makes bad movies

It was quiet in the theater and you could hear your breathing.

Because the audience was shocked.

From the first rebirth of Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun, the pace of the movie has become faster and faster, like a heavy hammer hitting people's hearts, making people breathless.

Especially at the end of the movie, the bomb was thrown out of the window and exploded. Just when everyone thought everything was over, the pressure cooker aunt suddenly showed her dagger and stabbed Xiao Heyun.

This sudden turn made the audience's hearts feel as if they were tightly grasped by a cold hand, and their minds almost went blank.

It wasn't until the end of the movie that the audience slowly came to their senses.

A truly wonderful movie can completely immerse the audience into it, mobilize the audience's emotions, and let their moods rise and fall with the fate of the characters in the play.

And "The Beginning" does just that.

In fact, the movie version of "The Beginning" shot by Xu Nan is very different from the TV series version in the previous life.

The previous TV series version of "The Beginning" has a total of fifteen episodes, each episode is forty-five minutes long, which adds up to a total of six hundred and seventy-five minutes.

The movie must not be so long, otherwise the audience will be exhausted.

So Xu Nan intercepted the most essential parts of the TV series version of "The Beginning", incorporated his own understanding and adaptation, and made a 120-minute film called "The Beginning."

For example, Xu Nan directly deleted the part in the original version that expressed the wandering fate of the passengers on the bus, as well as several police scenes.

It's not that these plots are bad, it's just that the pace is too delayed. The TV series is too long and a lot of branches and leaves must be filled in. But with these branches and leaves integrated, the tight rhythm immediately disappears.

So when Xu Nan was filming the movie, most of the shots focused on the male and female protagonists, and also added a setting that would delay the awakening time for each reincarnation, making the movie's rhythm faster and faster, leaving the audience with no idea at all. There was room to breathe, and my heart was kept high until the end of the movie.

This is Xu Nan's genius after years of practice, and it has achieved excellent results.

Film critic Tao Heng was stunned and speechless for a long time.

"Fuck."

"This movie is amazing."

"I wanted to pee before watching the movie, but as I watched it, I even forgot to pee."

"This is actually a movie made by Xu Nan?"

The audience gasped in amazement, they were really shocked.

Good movies have such charm.

Tao Heng was also shocked. This was completely different from Xu Nan in his impression.

In his memory, the quality of Xu Nan's movies has always been very low. It doesn't mean that the movies he made are bad. The main reason is that they are very perfunctory and barely watchable.

If he wasn't good at movie marketing, he would be a desperate director.

Why is this movie suddenly so popular? ? ?

Even he, a film critic who had read countless films, was stunned. Why did he have to think about the reactions of other ordinary viewers?

Until he walked out of the screening room, Tao Heng was still in disbelief.

And when buying movie tickets for "The Great Wall", Tao Heng found that several people bought tickets for "The Beginning" again, and some even took the initiative to recommend it to others.

"Brother, if you don't know which movie to watch, just choose "The Beginning". This movie is really exciting."

"Real or fake." An undecided audience member said with doubt on his face: "Don't cheat me."

A viewer who had just watched the show swore, "I tricked you into giving birth to a son without an asshole. The beginning of this movie was really good, otherwise I wouldn't have bought a ticket to watch it a second time."

"Okay, then I'll watch "The Beginning"."

Seeing this scene, Tao Heng was a little surprised.

This is a treatment only available for blockbuster movies, allowing viewers to take the initiative to become tap water and recommend it to those around them.

If a movie can achieve this level, it's almost impossible to have a bad score.

How can "The Beginning" be treated like this?

Until he walked into the screening room of the movie "The Great Wall", Tao Heng couldn't help but think about the scene just now.

Compared with the Internet, variety show advertisements and the opinions of people around them are the most important factors that affect what movies the audience will watch. If a movie can achieve this, it will 100% be a hit, it just depends on how popular it is.

Xu Nan seems to be really about to turn over this time.

At this moment, the lights in the screening room dimmed.

Only then did Tao Heng realize that the movie "The Great Wall" was about to start playing. He quickly stopped thinking and focused on the movie in front of him.

Watching one movie while thinking about the content of another movie is disrespectful to the film's creators and the staff behind the scenes. As a film critic, he cannot do this kind of thing.

While the movie was playing commercials, Tao Heng took the opportunity to check the theater's attendance rate.

Ninety percent of the seats were occupied, with only a handful of seats empty.

It deserves to be Zhang Yange's movie, and it deserves to have a top-notch cast.

Moreover, we must also consider that most of the screening rooms in a theater are showing "The Great Wall", and "The Great Wall" has the highest film schedule of all movies.

There is absolutely no way that the box office of "The Great Wall" will be low on the first day.

As a professional, Tao Heng immediately came to a conclusion in his mind.

As long as the quality of "The Great Wall" is passable, it doesn't have to be as high as that of "The Beginning" next door. As long as it reaches an excellent level, the total box office of this movie will not be lower.

Wait, why do I think the quality of "The Great Wall" is not as high as "The Beginning"?

Tao Heng suddenly realized his subtle psychology.

It seems that he instinctively believes that the quality of "The Beginning" has reached a certain peak, and it is difficult for ordinary movies to surpass it.

At this moment, the movie started, and Tao Heng quickly focused his attention on the screen in front of him.

At first, it was an advertisement for a film and television company.

Because Zhang Yange's "The Great Wall" was co-financed by multiple film and television companies, there were extra advertisements at the beginning of the movie.

But it's not a big deal, it's harmless.

After the commercials, the main movie begins.

It begins with a paragraph: The Great Wall is the crystallization of the wisdom of human civilization. It has stood firm for thousands of years. It defends against all kinds of enemies. There are real stories and ancient legends.

This movie tells one of these legends.

The scene changes and the movie officially begins.

European mercenary William, played by Hollywood actor Matt Damon, and Perot, played by famous Hollywood actor Pedro Pascal, are being hunted.

Through the first few minutes of the plot, the audience can learn that they are a group of mercenaries who want to go to ancient China to steal the legendary gunpowder formula.

Gunpowder has extremely terrifying power. It is an important military weapon in ancient China, and it is also a secret that is not passed down. As long as they can steal the secret recipe of gunpowder, they are sure to use this to become a master.

However, ancient China is very mysterious. They built a Great Wall on the border that winds thousands of miles. If you want to enter China, you must find a way to cross the Great Wall.

On the way to China, William and Pedro encountered a mysterious, powerful, ferocious monster named Taotie. After a hard fight, the two cut off one of the monster's claws, and then continued their journey to China.

Unfortunately, the mercenaries William and Pedro were caught by the gorgeously dressed Shadowless Forbidden Forces when they tried to climb over the Great Wall, and were brought to a general.

Unexpectedly, this general turned out to be a beautiful girl named Lin Mei, played by Lin Hongxiu.

William and Perot wanted to get away with it and pretended to be businessmen, so they discussed in English how to deceive people in front of the female general.

As a result, something embarrassing happened. General Lin Mei actually understood English and asked them directly in English what they were doing.

The scene suddenly became awkward.

Seeing this scene, many people in the screening room laughed.

Tao Heng also smiled knowingly.

As expected of Zhang Yange, his skills are indeed sophisticated.

In the first few dozen minutes, people can't help but be immersed in it.

Whether it is the evil and terrifying monsters, the winding Great Wall, or the gorgeous armor of the Shadowless Forbidden Army, the audience feels that it is worth paying for the ticket.

What impressed Tao Heng the most was the colors of this movie, which are gorgeous and bright, just like a painting, giving people a beautiful enjoyment and a wonderful visual feast.

When it comes to movie images, you can always trust that the cameraman is Zhang Yange.

Especially in the Fuhua Dao, whether it is the Great Wall inside or the blue armor worn by the Shadowless Forbidden Army, they are all extremely delicate, and it is obvious that Zhang Yange has put great care into it.

etc.

Tao Heng suddenly realized a key issue.

When he watched Xu Nan's movie "The Beginning" before, he didn't seem to pay attention to the way of persuasion in that movie. He was watching the exciting plot throughout the whole process, and he didn't have any spare time to see how the way of persuasion was.

From the current point of view, there is nothing wrong with the plot of the movie "The Great Wall", but he has extra attention to pay attention to Fuhua Road and the scenery such as the Great Wall in it.

The plot of the movie continues, because the European mercenaries William and Perrault were imprisoned because they could not answer their questions.

During this period, the senior officials of the Forbidden Army were surprised when they discovered the Taotie Claws they brought.

The beautiful female general Lin Mei wanted to kill them, but was blocked by the military advisor played by Liu Tianwang, and thought it would be better to imprison them first.

In this way, William and Perrault were imprisoned.

At the same time, countless ferocious and terrifying monsters appeared in the thick fog outside the Great Wall and began to attack the Great Wall. They were ferocious and terrifying, and they were so densely packed that it was chilling.

The troops on the Great Wall also began to move slowly. Troops in red, blue, yellow, black, and armor of various colors also began to prepare for defense.

What follows is a gorgeous war scene, with ferocious and terrifying monsters marching one after another, risking their lives to attack the Great Wall, while the shadowless Forbidden Army guarding the Great Wall uses various methods to defend and counterattack.

There are people who play drums, people who bungee jump, people who shoot arrows, and people who use gunpowder. In short, they use all the methods they can think of and try their best to fight the monsters.

What can I say about this big scene? It's gorgeous and spectacular, and the contrast between colors is also very sharp.

But why does it look so strange?
