Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Accompanied by the wave of discussions that started from a young boy, and then people began to face up to the issue of "guaranteeing heroic actions" because of this, this manga adaptation film itself has been well received by many fans, so it took advantage of the opportunity The Wind Rises, with the impeccable posture of God blocking and killing the Buddha, and it is the best in this month's box office statistics.

And the profit-seeking nature of businessmen is also fully exposed at this time: after discovering that the supply of "Batman: The Dark Knight" was in short supply, they decisively cut off some unpopular films that did not sell much. After that, all of them were used to show "Batman" to provide audiences with one-time, two-time and N-time.

Such a move is undoubtedly adding another firewood to the already burning flame.

Coupled with the fact that Warner Bros., whose own movie has finally become a big hit and has doubled the box office and word-of-mouth, is fueled by the current huge profits. This time the popularity can be called a phenomenon. success.

Later, if anyone among the adults and children of this generation says they haven’t seen the movie “Batman”, they are backward people who can’t keep up with the trend, lonely ghosts who can’t get along with each other, and poor salty people who have lost their dreams and original aspirations. fish……

If this kind of real-life manga movie based on comics is originally produced, if the effect is good, it will inevitably drive the adapted comics in turn—so, another group of businessmen began to find out happily that their own The comic serials that have been published over the years and have reached a stable sales value every month, the sales have suddenly increased by a gratifying percentage.

Even if the serialization is like this, let alone the sales of those old and new comics. As newcomers enter the pit one after another, both popularity and sales have risen several steps compared to before.

Of course, there is always joy and sorrow in this world—following the national frenzy detonated by "Batman: The Dark Knight", at the end of July, "Superman 7", which had received a lot of praise, took advantage of The popularity of this live-action comic movie appeared in front of the world with the tail of the "Batman" broadcast schedule.

Although the previous "Superman 3" had already lost the reputation of the first two due to plot and quality issues, but seeing that the script of this one was written by the highly acclaimed Superman actor Christopher Reeve, and I also insisted on completing the filming under the step-by-step reduction of funds...

Combining the above factors, this is more or less, let people recall the glorious feelings of the first film; and because of the recent wave of appeals in "Batman" "Don't let the hero shed tears after bleeding", From this was born compassion.

Relying on this wave of public relations methods, the box office of "Superman 4" rose to a satisfactory level in the first week anyway-but what followed was a lot of negative reviews from viewers who felt cheated.

"This simply ruined Reeve and the first "Superman"! It was a waste of Reeve's more mature acting skills!"

"Is this really this year's film? Why did the special effects go back decades?!"

"If I hadn't seen the light, maybe I could have endured the dark - it's a long time ago, Mary Sue and Tim Burton's 'Batman' was amazing, but they started from 'super A suitable balance has been achieved between heroes' and 'ordinary people with force and money'. It can be called the closest adaptation of a superhero to 'human' and the most down-to-earth adaptation... and "Superman" flies in the sky from the very beginning "Superman 4", which is really floating in the sky and hard to come down to now, has no breakthroughs and innovations, and can only cheat money by playing the emotional card and rubbing the heat!"

"The script written by Reeve himself can't save this old-fashioned plot and procrastinated rhythm..."

"According to gossip, the producer originally planned to cut the film from the original 134-minute version to about 90 minutes, and then use these cut-out shots for "Superman 5"-my God! Let Let it end in part 4, don't make fans and viewers sad anymore..."

"I'd rather he cut it to 90 minutes, because I have only one feeling in the movie theater: That's two hours of my life wasted."

This comes from the overwhelming negative comments from comic fans, movie fans and passer-by audiences, and it seems that it is no longer a situation that can be easily controlled.

Seeing that the box office of "Superman 4" plummeted to a terrible figure in the second week as the negative reviews fermented, Warner, who originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot, finally began to panic.

Su Yun, who heard the news, also left her work on "Galaxy Visitors" and quietly went to watch the late-night show - and finally walked out together with the speechless audience.

Different from those audiences who directly complained or sighed, besides Su Yun's dissatisfaction with everything about "Superman 4", she can basically predict that this sequel movie, which still invested 1700 million yuan in shooting costs after the budget was cut , in the future, it is very likely that the cost of filming will not be recovered...

In this case, the classic IP of Superman and the starring role of the movie can almost be regarded as ruining a large part.

Su Yun felt sorry here, and Warner was even more arguing because of the foreseeable huge loss: After filming like this, they still have the courage to catch the heat and step on the tail of "Batman". If you compare goods, you must throw one away!

Even without Su Yun's movie jewels in front, this quality will definitely ruin the reputation of the "Superman" series!

The question here is swearing, and the response here is also aggrieved: I want the horse to run and let the horse not eat grass, the money is getting more and more, but the filming funds are getting less and less, can't it just be like this?

Because Warner has already become a hot pot of porridge, Su Yun's "Galaxy Visitor", which is rushing to meet the schedule, has not been involved much. After finishing all the work happily and busy, they then started to arrange promotional matters. .

This so-called two-dimensional group ecstasy, and the sudden appearance of lost childhood memories slammed me in the summer, amidst the heat of the weather and the heat of the hearts of the people, it just passed day after day in such a lively and calm way.

But when some people who consider themselves "serious" are looking forward to the end of this craze and a new movie to replace this "sensational" live-action comic movie, Su Yun is like a clown who played another card in the play Just like Batman, who always has an ace in his hand, he used yet another movie full of all kinds of showmanship to announce one thing to the world—this summer is not over yet.

Following the upsurge brought about by "Batman: The Dark Knight" and the scolding war brought about by "Superman 4", these two films that were released in reverse but had opposite endings have just been released, and Su Yun once again brought "Galaxy Visitors" has started a new round of strong publicity.

Businessmen are always chasing the direction of profit, and chasing ups and downs is also a common practice for them. After seeing the whole process of "Batman" from the first week's box office to the bottom of the picture, the name Mary Sue, temporarily It has become the box office guarantee of this summer vacation.

Even if what she presented this time was a "children's" sci-fi movie, it doesn't matter - children's money is quite easy to earn, and they were screwed by theaters like "Superman 4" and Warner, who lost money to the point of madness. After a lot of chicken feathers and duck blood, at least I get some money back from Mary Sue, and if I lose less, I will win...

And after people discovered that Su Yun's new movie was actually classified as "children's category", those previous remarks that she was too popular and only knew how to make money immediately made a comeback.

However, Su Yun, who had already decided on her development path before meeting the "rectification of name" like a confession, always paid little attention to those who said that she only paid attention to the box office and not to art. ——Because she knew from the beginning what kind of path she was going to take and which direction she was going to go.

"There are already many filmmakers working hard to climb the peak of art, and as a layman who prefers a box office, it is enough to do what I want to do."

"Art is a good thing, but art always comes from life and cannot be separated from life."

What kind of influence can other people's comments have on her?

On the contrary, it is a big taboo for filmmakers to pursue too much artistic height and cause the box office to hit the street.

The funder who gave the money, the investors, don’t look at how artistic your film is, they only look at whether your film is making money or losing money, even if you have a style like Wang Sunglasses, win awards and get soft The "interesting story" that he received the award on the podium and the investor was rescued in the hospital is also dumbfounding...

"What's more, I need a lot of money to protect what I want to do now and in the future." When she said this, Su Yun showed people the one in her hand, which was about Leaflet of the Walled City Park.

This deformed birth, a miracle in the history of human architecture, and an unforgettable memory of the previous generation in Xiangjiang, finally became the landmark of Xiangjiang area through the joint efforts of her and many people through phased repair and reconstruction. An incomparably unique place to visit and photograph.

Since the "Walled City Park", those buildings that were almost abandoned in the wave of development and left behind at the end of time have also followed this precedent, rewriting the fate of being demolished to make way, making the buildings that have developed in later generations People, while looking up at their weather-beaten years, don't need to sigh and regret, just marvel.

"Some people always say that most of my films tend to be younger, and there are traces of deliberate popular science in them from time to time, but this... has never been just popular science and popular."

"And what I participated in outside the play, isn't it an ultimate 'art'?"
