The bard joins the entertainment industry

"Zhang Yimou's marketing strategy, the premiere celebration is really just a celebration!" 》

The much-anticipated celebration of "House of Flying Daggers" officially started at 7:50 pm yesterday, July 10.

This grand event has touched the hearts of many people. Ever since the good news came from Cannes in May, everyone has been extremely looking forward to the results of the film.

However, to everyone's disappointment, the celebration turned out to be just a celebration. In addition to directing a grand party, Zhang Yimou only played some highlight clips.

We don't get a glimpse of the whole thing, and we don't know if he has edited out all the parts that could be edited.

We can only wait and see, hoping that his new story won't be as empty and boring as "Heroes".

…

"The premiere is the most attended concert!" 》

The premiere of "House of Flying Daggers" was basically a concert with the movie as its soul. The attendance of this special concert was also quite rare, and it was basically a full house.

It is understood that the tickets for this special concert have been sold out very early.

It seems that not only Zhang Yimou's movies have high box office, but also his concerts.

…

"See through the highlights!" 》

The premiere celebration held yesterday did not show the main film of "House of Flying Daggers", but many exciting clips and behind-the-scenes footage were played one after another.

Behind every highlight, you can see a wonderful story. Even if the appearance time is very short, the "Sword Master" Mr. Yu Huihui and the newcomer Yu Bo can leave a deep impression on people.

Several of the wonderful fighting scenes all demonstrate China's unique aesthetic characteristics.

And Mei Yanfang, who was jealous of beauty, also made a decisive contribution to this movie and Chinese movies at the last moment of her life.

…

"Liu Yifei talks about her feelings and rewards after playing the leading heroine in a martial arts film for the first time!" 》

Reporter: I have two questions about movies: Miss Liu Yifei, what do you think is the difference between acting in movies and acting in TV series?

Liu Yifei: Let me first talk about the difference between TV series and movies. The biggest impression that they give me is that movies are really a finely crafted art.

I only shot 5 or 60 scenes in "House of Flying Daggers", but in the same time, I shot two TV series, "Dragon" and "Crystal Love", with a total of nearly a thousand scenes.

In this way, I have enough time to carefully carve out every scene, every shot, every action, and every expression, and strive for excellence.

It is this experience that gave me a deeper understanding of movies and performances.

Director Zhang is also a very experienced and ambitious person. He would take the trouble to teach me how to better shape a movie character, which made me make great progress.

Reporter: It seems that our fairy sister admires our Director Zhang very much!

Liu Yifei: Of course!

Reporter: We also know that you have previously created two classic characters on TV: An Qian and Wang Yuyan, who are known as the Elf of Heaven and the Fairy Sister by the audience.

What kind of title do you think your debut film will receive?

Liu Yifei: What kind of title is not important, what is important is what kind of performance can be presented to the audience.

If I can make the audience immersed in the story, no matter what the name is, it will be the greatest affirmation for me.

Reporter: You have never shown your talent in fighting scenes before. Can you tell us what you gained from this filming?

Liu Yifei: Perhaps the biggest gain is that if there is a power outage in the future, it won’t have a big impact on me, right?

Maybe I can make some contribution to saving resources this way?

Hahaha, just kidding.

The ability to "identify position by hearing sounds" shown in the movie is real, but it is precisely because of this that I can deeply understand how difficult it is for blind people to be unable to see.

Because the vast majority of blind people are unable to "identify position by hearing sounds", once they enter a strange environment, they will have an unspeakable fear.

It feels like the whole world is rejecting them.

I have also read some of the controversies on the Internet and think that the image I portray of a blind person will mislead people about real blind people.

But what I want to say is, whether it is positive or negative, when a blind person appears in movies and TV shows, everyone will pay more or less attention to the blind person, and then have a deeper understanding.

And if we avoid this and don't create such an image, then people will know nothing about the blind people and ignore them.

The biggest gain is probably picking up the dance I learned since childhood.

My mother taught me dance since I was a child, but unfortunately, I didn’t have much talent in this area. When I grew up, I liked acting again, so I gradually gave up dancing.

I didn't expect that dancing would be used in making a movie. This made me realize that as long as you learn some skills, you will always be able to put them to use.

…

"Liu Dehua listens calmly to Mei Yanfang!" 》

In order to commemorate the deceased Mei Yanfang, the dance of this performance is unique.

When Andy Lau and Mei Yanfang "duet" "The Moon Represents My Heart".

Dozens of backup dancers imitated various typical looks of Mei, known as the "Queen of Changes," and danced with Mei's figure on the big screen, reviving past classics.

"Mei Yanfang: Women are like flowers, eldest sisters are like shadow plums·Farewell to others (Photos)"

"Excellent fighting scenes analyzed by Chen Shuo!" 》

"Zhang Ziyi talks about her thoughts on cooperating with Zhang Yimou three times!" 》

…

After the celebration, there was a media carnival, and all major media began to report on yesterday's interviews and celebration scene.

Xinglang.com conducted a real-time live broadcast, allowing everyone to see this grand occasion.

When the media began to report it, Chen Shuo and others had already embarked on a publicity journey.

Starting from the imperial capital, they moved all the way south. When the film was officially released on the 16th, the group happened to be in Xiangjiang and attended the premiere in Xiangjiang.

And after everyone watched the whole film, they all praised it, saying that this film is Zhang Yimou's progress, and it is also the progress of Chinese movies.

Although there are still many flaws in the plot, under the sharp editing, these minor flaws do not have much impact.

The overall story mainly focuses on love in the early stage, while the conspiracy line is secretly "lurking" in the corner, but it is everywhere.

In the second half, conspiracy began to be the main plot, with love as a supplement.

Andy Lau's gloomy and tense performance well explained that under the decay of power, even love and family affection can be abandoned.

However, there are always some pure people in the world who stick to their stupid "love" and make it shine at the last moment.

For example, Sui Feng, who lost his love, and the heroic eldest sister among girls...

After the film was officially released, all audiences and fans began to discuss the topic of love and conspiracy.

Let’s start talking about the brilliance of this movie.

Some people say: This is the perfect combination of business and art, with both breadth and depth.

It can be accepted by most people, but at the same time, there are places where we can dig deeper.

Someone analyzed the story line of this movie: The entire story is based on the government's suppression of the Feidaomen as the main story line.

The presence of the flying knife door gods posed a threat that cannot be ignored to the government. In order to find them, the chief catcher and the two catchers began to dig deep along the line of Mudanfang.

So the next two police officers, one secretly and the other secretly, visited Mudanfang together, and then captured the important figure, the young girl.

And through the encounter between Chen Captou and his little sister, he transformed into Sui Feng Daxia and rescued her. He wanted to find the main altar of Feidao Sect and then catch them all.

However, I never thought that this was also Feidaomen's conspiracy. They took this opportunity to set up an ambush and wanted to take down the government's effective force by surprise.

Unexpectedly, in the end, all this was just a conspiracy laid by Capt. Liu for his superiority.

I want to take this opportunity to kill the chief catcher and ascend to the throne of the chief catcher by destroying the Feidaomen.

In the end, just when he thought everything was as he expected, Sui Feng and his eldest sister teamed up to thwart his conspiracy.

The many ambushes and reversals arouse everyone's emotions and follow the characters to immerse themselves in the plot.

"Ambush from Flying Daggers" is really full of traps and ambushes, and you will fall into it if you are not careful.

Some people start with Liu Yifei's performance: four minutes of wonderful performance, an unforgettable movie moment!

Director Zhang Yimou has a saying: Giving the audience 3 minutes of wonderful climax is enough!

However, throughout the story we see more than just one wonderful three-minute climax.

As far as Liu Yifei is concerned, from the moment she appeared on the stage, she gave people a very amazing feeling. She is truly worthy of being called a heavenly elf and a fairy sister.

The next two dances were both wonderful and memorable.

Liu Yifei and Chen Shuo, the most recognized on-screen couple, contributed another wonderful romance in this big screen debut.

From the singing and dancing of the two people in Peony Square, to the sparks on the escape road, to the lingering love in the sea of ​​flowers at the end, it tells us what it means to be caught off guard and like a raging fire.

Resurrection from the dead in the sea of ​​snow seems a bit nonsense, but it is precisely this that makes people sigh at the greatness of love.

Although the heroine Liu Yifei was offline before the end, her influence on everyone lasted until the end of the film.

It was precisely because of her existence that Liu Captou's conscience was awakened, giving Sui Feng the opportunity to destroy his plot and avenge her.

…

Compared with the initial boos after the release of "Hero", the situation of "House of Flying Daggers" is much better.

However, there are still many people who have never seen the movie at all, and just rely on their inherent impressions to curse Zhang Yimou and "House of Flying Daggers".

He said that he can only shoot posters, and "House of Flying Daggers" is a "trash" and "a super bad movie."

Of course, there are also many people who really read it and then picked out some flaws and magnified them.

He even distorted the facts just to drag Zhang Yimou down from the altar and trample him into the dust.

However, movies ultimately have to be judged by their performance.

It was released in the early morning of the 16th and grossed 70 million in box office in three days on 16th, 17th and 18th.

Compared with the 53 million of "Heroes" in the same period, it was more than one-third more.

Before that, it was 48 million yuan for "Titanic".

Zhang Yimou once again broke through himself, and it was a breakthrough!

During the three days, the venue was full every day, and many people even felt that they did not understand some details, so they tried again and again.

Every time these viewers watch it, they will gain something different and have more and more admiration for the main creators such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Shuo.

The North American champion "Spider-Man 2", which was released at the same time, and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", known as the "Magic Star", are also far behind.

In Xiangjiang, there are only 50 screening halls for "Ambush", while there are 74 for "Ha 3".

However, the average box office per theater for "Ambush" was as high as US$6,090, while for "Ha 3" it was only US$3,075.

The gap of nearly half made the theater owners in Xiangjiang regret it and began to adjust the film schedule and prepare to vigorously promote "House of Flying Daggers".

I believe that starting from the second week, the box office of "House of Flying Daggers" will once again experience a wave of explosion.

Sure enough, at dusk on Tuesday of the second week, July 20, the major media began to report wildly again.

The box office of "House of Flying Daggers" exceeded 100 million, setting a new record for the fastest domestic box office to exceed 100 million!

At this time, Chen Shuo and others had just completed their publicity in Singapore. After hearing the news, they couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Immediately, Zhang Weiping greeted everyone to prepare for celebration.

"Today is a historic moment, and our Chinese films have once again made new breakthroughs.

The year before last, it took eight days for "Hero" to break through 100 million, and the box office in ten days was only 130 million.

Now, we have exceeded 100 million in only five days. When the second week is over, I hope we can have another breakthrough.

I hope we can surpass "Hero" and set another record!

cheers! "

"Cheers!!!" Chen Shuo and others raised their glasses.

After drinking it all, everyone couldn't help but talk and think.

Two years ago, "Hero" achieved impressive box office results of 260 million, and now "House of Flying Daggers" has better momentum and reputation than "Hero".

So can it once again set a box office record of over 300 million?

On the second day, Chen Shuo had to say goodbye to Zhang Yimou and prepared to go to Japan to shoot "Initial D".

Although Zhang Weiping criticized this, Zhang Yimou simply let him go.

Nowadays, it has basically been promoted in China and Southeast Asia, and its reputation has already risen. There is no need for everyone to continue to promote it.

Next, we are waiting for its release in Japan, Bangkok and other regions.

If Chen Shuo can create some momentum in Japan while filming "Initial D", it will be of great benefit to the subsequent release and promotion in Japan.

After Chen Shuo expressed his gratitude to Zhang Yimou, he said goodbye to Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli and headed directly from Singapore to Japan.

After he comes back, he will soon start filming the gas station scenes, emotional lines, and the most important racing scenes.
