Big director

The global promotion of "Paradise Lost" still needs half a month of buffer time.

Zhu Zimo didn't want to waste this period of time. He wanted to start filming "Wen Tian 3" as early as possible, preferably before the end of the year, so that his production time could be more leisurely and leave room for the next film. Come out with more gaps to prepare.

"Wen Tian" is his first series of Xianxia movies.

In every industry, there will be some people who are "pioneers", or in other words, also called "pioneers".Every market is opened by them. If they are strong enough, they can seize this opportunity and gain both fame and fortune.If the ability is not strong enough, they can only be used as mine detection engineers. The credit and hard work belong to them, but the benefits in the future will not belong to them.

For example, it is like the increasingly prosperous online novel industry.Who was the first to write about the wilderness?Who was the first to write martial arts?Who was the first to write a portable stream?Who was the first to write farming stream?A very novel brain hole can breed one "genre" after another, making the themes of online novels more and more abundant.Some people rely on their unique brain holes to become gods in a book, but some people don't get any benefits, and their brain holes have become popular memes.

And after these people, there will be a large number of followers.These people will not try their best to brainstorm, but will jump on whatever is popular recently.There is food to go with the party.

Still taking online novels as an example, they were not the ones who created the initial brainstorming, and the high-risk and high-reward high-risk and high-return of brainstorming are not up to them, but they are the most stable, so they are the group of people who make a fortune silently.

In the end, naturally, the so-called "eating shit can't keep up with the heat" group of little sad reminders.

When a theme first became popular, I was ignorant and didn't know how to follow suit.And when that theme became popular, no one would watch it anymore, instead they rushed into the arena, so they rushed every day to not want it, and they used their lives to explain what it means to have a brain hole.

People like Zhu Zimo are the so-called "pioneers".

As a great director, and he still has the money to make his own investment, he is more capricious than anyone else.Shoot whatever subject you want to shoot.It was like this when I was filming the "Wen Tian" series.And when he made "Wen Tian" popular, the original world view in it was widely quoted.Including online novels, as well as follow-up movies, there are also a batch of excellent "fanren" works. Zhu Zimo occasionally clicks on them and feels that he is deeply inspired.

Although "Wen Tian" is a series, due to the background of Xianxia, ​​it spans a large timeline.

The first part was in the heyday of "Cultivation of Immortals".At that time, the world was full of vitality, and the sects with rich background were very "ostentatious". When resources were abundant, they were very "self-confident" like immortal cultivators. Fantastic attitude... Immortal cultivators, demon cultivators, demon cultivators, and a very small number of ghost cultivators... The group of people at the top has a very big "pattern", and they are focusing on "struggling with the sky".Although there are frictions among several factions, such frictions are small-scale and not comprehensive.

By the time of the second part, the vitality of heaven and earth has the intention of diminishing.And the theme of this movie is on "Under the turmoil, the choices and disputes of the monsters and ghosts".As a result, the calm attitude gradually faded away, some people are sticking to their "intentions", while some people are eager for quick success, and the friction between human demons and ghosts is getting more and more serious - this is the background.The so-called monsters come out of troubled times, a gluttonous gluttony that was suppressed in ancient times escaped, devouring everything, making the already precarious world of cultivating immortals even worse.If he wants to seal Taotie again, he needs to use the Chaos Clock mentioned in the first part, but whose hands did the Chaos Clock fall into?Who would be willing to take out such a good magic weapon, just to seal a glutton so selflessly?

At the end of the second part, Taotie was still wreaking havoc outside, while humans, monsters, and demons had completely collapsed, and the entire world of cultivating immortals was in decline.

In the third part, the human monsters are divided into two factions.One faction is the "selfish" faction. They pursue the law of the jungle, isn't it just that the vitality of the world is greatly reduced, and the resources are getting less and less?what is the relationship?If a piece of cake used to be ten yuan, and it happened to be shared by ten people, then now a piece of cake has become five yuan, and if only five people share it, or even four or three people, it is not a little bit less compared to myself ?The world is not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs. If you want to become a fairy or a saint, you must dare to fight for your life with the world and the people!Without the idiots competing with him, wouldn't his chances of becoming a fairy be greater?

The second faction is the "compassionate and compassionate" faction.They think that the real power is not to force all the people who may become your opponents to disappear, and if no one competes with you, you can really become a fairy?And there are no eggs under the nest, if you let the gluttonous raging, wait for it to become stronger, but this side has already become a mob, then let's finish playing together!Therefore, the way of heaven is by no means encouraging killing, whether the heart of asking is firm or not is the key!Everyone works together and has a stable external environment, so that we can single-mindedly seek the Tao.The foundation is still unstable, so how can we go further?

As a result, the former began to kill wantonly, wanting to prove the way by killing.The latter tried every means to find the Chaos Clock and seal Taotie in an attempt to turn the world around.

This is probably the way of thinking, but Zhu Zimo's headache is that he hasn't figured out what the ending of the movie should be.

The so-called "Wen Tian" criticizes the shell of Xianxia, ​​but inside it is still a metaphor full of Chinese style.

In Zhu Zimo's view, only the first part is the "Xianxia" with a strong ink painting flavor; the second part is a bit like demonstrating the various choices under "greed" and "weakness"; The third one is more like a "disaster movie" in the cloak of a fairy tale.The story is still the same story, but the "human nature" revealed in it is very interesting.

After the first two films were released, and looking at the movie reviews, it can be seen that the audience actually understood what Zhu Zimo meant.

In particular, there are many big cows who have found out all the hidden lines set by Zhu Zimo, and they are eloquent, as if they are writing a thesis.

There are many viewers who are sighing, low oil, watching director Zhu's movie is worth it!Because you can not only see a wonderful story and enjoy the shocking movie images, but also dig out some deep meanings from it—quite logical, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it, you will have it if you understand it A feeling of dread...

Not only the "Wen Tian" series, but also the "Contending" which was just released.

After the premiere, it will be screened nationwide.

Because of the subject matter, "Contentation" is mainly released in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. After all, it is considered a radiation circle of Chinese culture, so it is more acceptable.But in Europe and the United States, there are actually some movies released, but they are not considered popular movies there. Fans who like similar themes can choose to watch them. , I also feel that that period of history is very obscure and difficult to understand. If it wasn't for the director's sake, he would not even consider buying a ticket to enter the theater.

For Zhu Zimo, when he shoots TV dramas with historical themes, he first wants to use history as a mirror and give some inspiration to modern people... At the same time, he will promote ancient culture, so that young people can have a general understanding of our country's history... Finally, let the People all over the world take a good look at our splendid civilization, and use the wisdom of our ancestors to convince the world!

These ideas are simply secondary.

Zhu Zimo himself knew that if he could achieve the first point, he would be considered a success, and if he could achieve one or two points, he would be happy to go to heaven.

But as the saying goes, planting flowers intentionally will not bloom, but planting willows and willows unintentionally will make shade. While "Contending" in China is extremely popular, some data from abroad shocked everyone!

There are a total of nine countries and regions in the world, and "Contentation" won the local box office weekly champion!

The box office performance of other places is also quite good. France, the worst place, got the third place!

By the second week, "Contentation" still won the weekly box office championship in seven countries and regions!The overall decline of the box office is very gentle. Obviously, its good reputation has attracted many audiences who come here for its reputation, so that the number of viewers has not decreased much. It is worth mentioning that in Hong Kong and Japan, There was also a rare "counterattack" phenomenon in the box office in the second week, that is to say, the box office results in Hong Kong and Japan in the second week were better than the box office results in the first week!

When manager Hua Li called Zhu Zimo every day to announce the good news, he was in a trance.He thinks this is not scientific at all!With such a completely unflattering subject matter, how did Director Zhu manage to make such a commercial blockbuster?

He can't really be an alien, can he?Even aliens can't make a film that purely expresses national culture and is not at all down-to-earth. Think about it, it is impossible to be popular with foreigners, and it will shine at the box office, right?

During this period of time, Zhu Zimo's fan group has gone crazy, with Mo Mo's mighty domineering, and Mo Mo's best appearance, going around with everyone, making many passers-by feel annoyed and turned black—that's all. A group of people, the more the people around them are Amway, the more classic a work is, the more they don’t want to read it, they are extremely self-willed, and they always see the screen swiping.

Originally, Hua Li also saw the momentum of this madness, and planned to intervene. Then, some overseas parties joined in the fun and posted foreigners' comments on the movie.

"I didn't know what the movie was about before I saw it, but I knew Director Zhu, his movies are very exciting, and the opening ceremony is also very exciting! So I thought, why not buy a movie ticket for "Contending"? Now I I'm so glad I was bored at the time, this movie is so shocking! I heard that Laozi, Confucius, Mozi... are all figures in Chinese history? That's amazing! I think they are cool, don't know about them Where can I buy the book I wrote, I can’t read Chinese, is there a translated version?”

"Some parts I understand, some parts I'm a little dizzy, but it doesn't stop me from thinking that this movie is really cool...Zhu is really a very good director! God I can't believe it, these people Did it really exist more than 2000 years ago? Think about what our country had 2000 years ago? The Chinese are really scary!"

"I'm going to watch it again, because the pace of the first time was too fast, I was a little dizzy, but I promise to read it again and I can understand it! I think their philosophical thoughts are very interesting..."

"Well, it's great! You really deserve to be the director of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games!"

"My Chinese boyfriend took me to the cinema, you know, we wanted to pick up a boring movie and spend some good, dark time. But the first scene of this movie took us both I was stunned! Then we watched a movie seriously and didn't have time to do anything... My boyfriend was a little depressed afterwards, but I comforted him because after watching this movie, I was so happy To get to know him a little better, and to love him a little more...he's happy."
