You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 651 ① Adaptation feedback ② Smart twist ③ Dragon mark ④ Have a chance to sleep together

At the preview, what surprised Tian Xiwei and the others the most was the opening words "This film is adapted from "Flowers in the Mirror", "Journey to the West", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Zhuangzi", "Dream of Red Mansions"."

At the beginning, when netizens heard the title "Xiaoyaoyou", they all thought that this movie should have something to do with Zhuangzi. After all, Wang Quan used Zhuangzi elements in "Inception", and he personally admired this ancient philosopher.

Later, the trailer came out, and it seemed to have nothing to do with "Zhuangzi", but some elements of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" could be seen.

But I didn't expect that there was "Flowers in the Mirror" in it, and it was ranked first. It was obviously mainly adapted from this classical novel. The three of them had not read this book, nor had they seen related film and television adaptations, so they regarded this as a brand new story.

At the beginning, Tang Han, who passed the imperial examination, was played by Jiang Wen. From youth to middle age, he was replaced by another person in the middle, but because of the superb makeup technology, the transition when changing people was very smooth.

Speechless in front of the elders of Jiangdong, he decided to stay in the capital to prepare for the exam.

For a living, he came to the library of the Imperial College to do odd jobs under the introduction of a friend, and started a part-time study and read all the books in the library.

Later, when he was forty years old, Tang Han took the imperial examination for the last time, but still failed.

So he decided to return to his hometown to be a private school teacher, but when he was on the road, the eunuch played by Sun Honglei took him back with an imperial edict and two hundred swordsmen, and sent him directly to the palace, and let him meet the high-ranking emperor Huang Xuan, and the even higher-ranking queen mother Gong Li.

The emperor was like a puppet, with no expression and little speech. The queen mother asked Tang Han if he had seen a book called "Shanhaitu" in the library.

"I have read it, it's quite interesting."

"I heard that Mr. Tang has a photographic memory. How much do you remember about this book?"

"It's just a novel about strange things. Why should I remember it?"

"How much do you remember?" The Queen Mother's expression became more serious.

"Reply to the Queen Mother, 70%, 70% is not more."

"Mr. Tang is really a talent," the Queen Mother looked at Sun Honglei, "Little Lei, get ready, let Mr. Tang lead you to find that thing."

"What is it?" Tang Han asked, "lead where?"

Sun Honglei winked at him: "Don't ask, just follow my instructions."

Many viewers at the scene have watched "Condemned Prisoners", and now they have psychological trauma when they see Sun Honglei, but in this movie he plays a low-browed and funny-looking eunuch, which is quite subversive.

After Tang Han left, Lei Gong asked the Queen Mother, "What should we do with this person after the things are found."

The Queen Mother turned and left, leaving a sentence: "Do I need to teach you? Throw him into the sea to feed the fish."

Lei Gong smiled and said, "I understand~"

"Hiss~" I thought Sun Honglei would not be too bad this time, but now it seems that he is still a big villain, but the role of Teacher Gong Li is even more chilling.

Before leaving the capital, Tang Han learned from a friend that the library of the Imperial College had caught fire and the books inside were burned.

This made him sigh with regret, and then he asked Lei Gong for paper and pen, preparing to write down some of the rare books he had memorized.

Lei Gong's eyes lit up: "Mr. Tang, can you also write down the "Map of Mountains and Seas"."

"I'll try."

Then he drew some very abstract paintings, which made Lei Gong frown.

Tang Han crumpled up the manuscript paper consciously, "Forget it, just tell me where you want to go, how should I lead the way?"

"Go out to sea first, and then go all the way south."

"South, then can I go home? My home is in a seaside town in the south."

Eunuch Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, it's not too late to go home after you finish the affairs of the Queen Mother and the Emperor..."

But just as they passed by their hometown, they encountered a merchant ship.

There was a slightly fat man standing at the bow. Tang Han rubbed his eyes. Isn't this his brother-in-law Song Qingming!

The movie lasted half an hour before the protagonists Fan Wei, You Benchang, Chen Duling and the giant panda Po appeared. It seemed that they had just entered the main line, but it didn't feel boring.

First of all, the scenery was well shot. The palace was very gorgeous and novel. The overwhelming royal fleet was even more majestic and had the atmosphere of a superior country.

The key lines are very interesting. Jiang Wen, Sun Honglei and Lei Gonggong's men bicker and attack each other, which makes people feel bored at all. Although Sun Gonggong is a smiling tiger, he does bear some of the laughs.

Duo Jiugong, played by Mr. You Benchang, is over 80 years old. He was also a scholar in his early years. Later, he always failed the exam and started to work on the ship. He has been working on the ship for decades and is knowledgeable. He is good friends with Tang Han and Song Qingming.

Because Tang Han's daughter Tang Xiaojun wanted to go to the capital to find her father, she secretly boarded Duo Jiugong's ship. Uncle Song Qingming finally caught up with her after rushing and decided to escort her to the capital. Unexpectedly, he met his brother-in-law on the way, and there were so many people from the court around him.

However, Duo Jiugong was surprised when he heard where they were going, "That place is probably ominous. I know many old helmsmen who didn't come back alive from there."

Duo Jiugong originally intended to persuade Tang Han not to wade into the muddy water, but Tang Han was quick-witted and said that he was doing things for the emperor and the queen mother and had to go.

The smart businessman Song Qingming felt something was wrong at the time and asked, "Why are you saying this?"

Sure enough, after hearing what Tang Han said, several of them, including several boatmen under Duo Jiugong and the giant panda Po, were going to go with them.

Not going? Two hundred swordsmen obey orders!

So the two teams set off together, passing through some small coastal countries, and Tang Han was warmly received by those kings as a special envoy.

During this period, the female pirate king Shi Xianggu, played by Liu Yifei, made a brief appearance, and her appearance was quite subversive.

Later, when they passed the place called the killing wind mouth, which was called the dangerous place by Duo Jiugong, a sea whirlwind dispersed them and lost a large number of ships. Tang Han and Lei Gong separated and officially formed a team with Song Qingming and others.

Since they could no longer find the way to come, they decided to simply follow the path on the "Shanhaitu" all the way south.

Lei Gong found that his living map was lost, so he could not report back, so he found the ghost things that Tang Han had drawn before and decided to find them according to those maps.

At this time, the movie had been on for an hour and finally entered the main plot.

Later they found out that the movie was 170 minutes long, nearly three hours long. Excluding the foreplay, the rest was still the length of a normal movie.

However, this length is not conducive to scheduling. Fortunately, the movie was released in November, a cold period, and basically did not involve competition with strong movies.

Otherwise, even if this movie sells well, you can schedule two rounds of other movies for one round. Unless the attendance rate is twice that of the other party, it is hard to say who the theater will choose.

This is also one of the reasons why Wangquan chose to release it in a cold period. At that time, the theater can only choose itself.

An hour later, the movie turned to magical colors. The strange creatures that appeared in Journey to the West, Classic of Mountains and Seas, and Flowers in the Mirror began to appear one after another. The scene was large and the visual effects were full, which was very enjoyable.

It was just a bit of a test of the bladder. The legs of the little brothers and sisters in the front were always stirring, but there was no urine point in this movie.

Halfway through, you can find that there are many echoes before and after, and the script is very exquisite.

Zhou Ye, Wang Churan, and Tian Xiwei all bought Coke, but they didn't drink it. In this way, they finally finished watching this nearly three-hour long movie.

It is known that the cost of "Zhu Xian" is 500 million, and it is said that the average cost of "Xiao Yao You" is more than 100 million more than "Zhu Xian".

But after watching it, everyone felt that the cost of this movie should be at least 200 million dollars.

Those big scenes and magnificent pictures, as well as the theme of ocean navigation, are clearly benchmarked against the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" is also one of the most expensive series in Hollywood.

After watching it, the three women carefully rated the movie and wrote some of their own comments.

Although the investigators hope to receive more critical comments, they really can't write them. As a commercial film, the scenes and pictures of this movie obviously cost enough money, which has been done to the extreme, and the lines are also very exquisite and hidden.

The only thing that felt a bit awkward was the emotional drama between Jiang Wen and Liu Yifei. However, in the film, Jiang Wen is a scholar, while Liu Yifei is a fierce gangster. The strong woman and weak man are quite interesting.

When she returned to school, Tian Xiwei immediately found Wang Quan from her WeChat friends and mustered up the courage to send a WeChat message: "Director Quan, what a coincidence, I went to the cinema today and watched the preview of "Happy Journey". It was shot perfectly. I am still shocked."

Wang Quan felt that there was nothing shocking about the first part of "Happy Journey". The core of the thought was not reflected at all, and even the special effects and big scenes were used in a restrained manner.

However, since others praised him so much, Wang Quan still replied with a thank you and thought about having a chance to sleep together.

In addition to China, "Happy Journey" has also started previews and reviews in the United States.

Then the American audience was surprised to find that this Chinese film was so amazing that all the actors in it spoke in English.

Originally, I was worried that it would be more troublesome to accept it and that reading subtitles would distract me. Now I don’t have to worry about it. I can focus on the story and the picture.

When "Xiaoyaoyou" began to be screened and reviewed, the film's derivative variety show "Beautiful Girl's House" was also launched on Xigua Video.

11 beautiful girls, including Chen Duling and Wang Churan, entered Wangquan Villa and began to receive training and examinations to decide who can play the heroine of "Xiaoyaoyou".

Audiences who have watched "Xiaoyaoyou" know that the importance of Tang Xiaojun's role is no less than Shi Xianggu.

Moreover, Shi Xianggu only exists in the first part, while Tang Xiaojun has to play three parts, and she is the core heroine.

She is not only a vase, but also uses her astronomical knowledge to help Duo Jiugong's Duobao Ship out of trouble during the voyage.

Wang Churan has already determined that the final winner is Chen Duling. Now watching the variety show can also see some clues, and Chen Duling is obviously given more shots.

Of course, the one who has the most shots is Yang Chaoyue, the atmosphere activist.

Just like the popularity of "Creation 101", whenever she appears in a variety show, she always becomes the focus.

And because she is already famous, many people come to "Beautiful Girl's House" for her, and the comments are full of "Chaoyue" and "Village Flower".

Because there is still a month before the movie is released, there is no time for weekly promotion, so this variety show is one episode a day, and it will be broadcast in 10 days, with the main theme of short, flat and fast.

This gives Chaoyue fans who can't wait for the weekly "Creation 101" a good place to go, and this variety show has become a large-scale team building site for fans.

It's just a pity that it was not Chaoyue who got this precious role in the end, but Chen Duling with small ears.

As the results were announced, the film company immediately released a trailer for the heroines, featuring Liu Yifei, Chen Duling and Gong Li.

At the end of October, "Xiao Yao You" adjusted some details after the preview and was officially submitted for review.

The review process was very smooth, because it was a fantasy theme, not involving realism, even the dynasties were fictional, not involving historical nihilism, and no one dared to trip up the film. The relevant departments also hoped that the film could bring this year's mainland film market to a new peak.

At the same time, "Death Row", which had been released for a month, was taken off the screen, which was also some concessions made by Wang Dao.

According to convention, such a hit movie must be postponed for at least one cycle (four weeks), and it is common to postpone it two or three times.

But in order not to make some people uncomfortable, "Death Row" was only released for a month and took 2.145 billion box office before it was taken off the screen.

However, the subsequent impact of this movie has always been there, and it may have to wait until the prototype character is re-sentenced before it can be relieved.

This also gave "The Shameful Iron Fist", which did not reach 2 billion, an opportunity. In the ten days before the release of "Happy Journey", without "Death Row", they still had hope to hit the 2 billion mark.

Although the performance was not as good as "Charlotte's Troubles", Happy Twist made more money, because Shen Teng was a supporting role this time, Xihong City Film Industry did not participate much, and the bulk of the money was earned by Happy Twist.

This wave can make at least 500 million, which is more than acting in a drama!

This also made the two bosses of Happy Twist see a shortcut to make money, using other actors in the company as the protagonists and Shen Teng as the supporting role, which is too easy to sell!

However, Shen Teng still had more scenes in "The Shameful Iron Fist" this time, and the price they paid was also higher. Next time, they can consider giving Shen Teng fewer scenes.

A cameo for a few minutes is enough.

At the end of October, the Marvel blockbuster "Thor 3" began to be released in global markets outside of China, Japan and the United States.

China and the United States have to wait until November 3rd, which is also to avoid "Escape" in the global market competition. It can also be seen from this that Disney attaches great importance to Wang Quan's Chinese-language magic blockbuster.

From what Wang Quan knows, "Thor 3" has the best reputation and box office of the trilogy, and the global market is booming. Fortunately, the two films avoided it, otherwise it is likely that both will suffer.

Entering November, the dragon mark of "Escape" was officially obtained, and the release has also entered the countdown.

10, 9, 8...
