Since 1983

Chapter 891: Blockbuster Era 2

"My lord, will you kill me or not?"

"My lord, will you kill me or not?

Whoosh!

It was raining arrows all over the sky again, and died without a name.

At the end, on the Gobi Desert, there are three new graves, in which Wuming, Canjian and Feixue are buried.

The old servant and Ruyue knelt in front of the grave and sprinkled wine to pay homage. The old servant said: "A man who is a confidant will perish. It is enough to have one confidant in life. If you get three confidants, you will have the world."

Ruyue said beside him: "Then the three of them will be the world."

"Yes, the three of them are the world."

At the end of the original version, there is a subtitle, introducing Qin Shihuang to build the Great Wall to resist foreign enemies and so on.

This was suggested by Li Lianlian. He felt that foreigners generally misunderstood the Great Wall and thought it was a tool for attack. Zhang Guoshi thought it was reasonable, so he added it.

But you let domestic audiences watch this thing, it's very inexplicable.

So Xu Fei restored Zhang Guoshi's original ending, which is the scene above. What Lao Mouzi wants to express is actually very simple, "shi".

What King Qin said sounds good, whether it is true or false, the audience will understand.

But these three are different, Wuming believed King Qin's words and gave up the assassination;

Feixue wanted to assassinate Qin, but Can Jian felt that King Qin could not be killed, and only wanted to live in seclusion with his lover in the countryside, but he didn't know how to stop him, so he had to be stabbed to death by her during the fight;

So Feixue died in love again.

That's all.

In short, compared with the original version, "Hero" has changed a lot of details.

The domestic version is more in line with the tastes of domestic audiences. At least when watching it, I didn't laugh at the "one-night stand" and "I let you see it on purpose, but I don't have you in my heart".

"Wow, boom!"

"Wow, boom!"

The lights were turned on again, and the auditorium became commotion, talking in low voices.

"The expression is a bit superficial and not profound."

"It's not filmed as an art film, I think it's pretty good."

"Well, it's very visually impactful."

"But I think we should delve deeper into concepts such as the world and King Qin."

"Farewell, then it will become "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin 2"."

Everyone rushed to the press hall on the third floor, and saw huge posters surrounding the audience. The seats were divided into areas for Chinese and foreign print reporters, TV reporters, and photographers. The momentum was huge and the organization was orderly.

After waiting for a while, the main creator entered.

Zhang Guoshi led a crowd to attend, including martial arts, artists, screenwriters, etc., and more than a dozen people sat around.

No location was arranged for the producer, but Xu Fei felt that he had to go up to grasp it, so he took a side.

The atmosphere is friendly, and everyone is tight-lipped about the reporters' questions. They will not be rude when they should say something, and will not say a word that should not be said.

"Many people compare "Hero" with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but I'm not afraid to compare.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is one of my favorite movies. For "Hero" to participate in the Oscar results, I don't have such extravagant expectations.

I didn't think about awards first when I made "Hero". "

Just after Zhang Guoshi finished answering one question, another reporter asked:

"You want to express an ancient concept of 'scholar' in the film. Then "Hero" will be released in overseas markets. Do you think foreigners can understand this concept?"

"Well……"

He was organizing his words when he suddenly saw someone waving his hand in the corner. The man was sitting on the edge of the table, and he didn't even have a small card.

"Why did you sit there?"

Zhang Guoshi widened his eyes.

"I'll answer that question."

Teacher Xu took the microphone, and the reporters also searched for it for a long time. What the hell, why are you sitting there?

""Heroes" is divided into two versions, and the length is similar. What we saw was the domestic version, or the East Asian version, and the other was called the overseas version.

Basically the same, with some subtitles added to make it easier to understand, some lines are also different, and the theme is simplified. What is the theme of this edition, who can talk about it? "

"I think it is, the scholars and the great unity."

"Well, the theme of the overseas version is different. What is it... You can go and see for yourself then."

whispering sound!

The reporters rolled their eyes.

"Then can I understand that what you made is an overseas special edition?"

"Completely correct!"

Teacher Xu said with a smile: "I just said the East Asian version, why is it called the East Asian version?

Because Japan and South Korea can understand, some of our cultures are interlinked. Since you want to sell box office in the West, you naturally have to make it understandable to the public, so don't make it so complicated. "

"Then you haven't thought about exporting culture to foreign countries?"

“I thought about it, but it was very difficult to realize.

As far as movies are concerned, we have only exported one thing so far, and that is Kung Fu. Well, this question is too complicated to talk about, and we will discuss it later when we have a chance. "

...

"This is a very modern movie. Apart from stunts, actors, etc., I agree with it in terms of its publicity alone!

The same is carefully produced, why can't Chinese blockbusters become big? The key factor is publicity. For this alone, "Hero" is a milestone. "

"The generous rendering of the color tone is the proud touch of the film. The story is relatively weak, and it is a deficiency that cannot be ignored. This work, which is called the first domestic blockbuster, is destined to be full of controversy."

""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" calls it martial arts, but it is not our martial arts, but Chinese martial arts that foreigners are willing to accept.

"Hero" has no plot at all, but I think the film's elaboration of the essence of traditional culture and the essence of Chinese studies is commendable. "

After the premiere, the popularity of "Hero" reached a peak.

And the film is also officially released nationwide.

Teacher Xu repeatedly told Zhang Guoshi not to be disturbed by the outside world, just to publicize it well. With such a big film and pressure, I must be very concerned about criticism.

If you make it through, you will be tempered a thousand times, and if you don't make it, you will become a regular song.

"At zero o'clock today, more than a dozen theaters in Chengdu detonated "Hero" at the same time.

The prior arrangement of each theater was disrupted by the enthusiasm of movie fans, and almost every theater was full, so an extra screening had to be added temporarily to satisfy the audience.

According to incomplete statistics, the total box office revenue this morning was 250,000 yuan. "

"Heroes was released in Tianjin, and the venues were packed.

It set a box office miracle of 200,000 yuan that day, and Guangming Cinema alone had a box office of more than 60,000 yuan on the first day. The most gratifying thing is that the box office of "Hero" did not rely on group ticket purchases, but more from retail. "

"Shanghai Xintiandi Cinema was packed with nearly 1,000 spectators, and the last screening ended at 3:00 am yesterday, and the theater temporarily added 3 additional screenings.

As of 10 o'clock last night, the box office had reached 140,000 yuan, and the pre-sale box office exceeded 400,000 yuan. "

""Hero" has won a million box office in less than 24 hours since it was released across the board in Guangzhou!

The Pearl River Cinemas alone recorded a revenue of 400,000 yuan, of which the single-day box office of China Plaza Cinemas was 150,000 yuan, breaking the record of 110,000 yuan for the prime time of the Spring Festival last year. "

With Xu Fei's smooth strokes, the flaws in the work are gone, and the look and feel is smoother.

The box office broke records all over the country, China Film Music has blossomed, and the pressure on Zhang Guoshi has been reduced a lot.

There is talk in the streets and alleys, and the cultural circles are like flies catching blood, and everything that touches the edge jumps out. For a while, saliva flew everywhere, opinions collided, and it was extremely lively.

Yu Jiajia took the opportunity to promote Juzi.com, and "Heroes" became the first comment target. The film critics' recommendation index is 78%, and the ratings of netizens fluctuate every day, and the competition is desperate.

Most of the focus is on the yishi form, and in the end even those who engage in history also come out to express their opinions.

So it turned to whether Qin Shihuang was a tyrant or not.

"The era of Assassin Qin was a great era. Its greatness is that it was an era of duty, and the weak fought against the strong with their lives and personalities.

It's a pity that "Hero" completely reversed this greatness! "

"Who stipulates that assassins are great? Those who are assassinated cannot be great? "Hero" is just a different perspective."

"Qin Shihuang should be killed, is it recognized?"

"I think you are all extreme, "Heroes" did not express their views clearly.

Instead, it showed several different positions. You have been scolding Can Jian and kneeling and licking the imperial power, but why can't you see Fei Xue has been resisting? "

"The point of view itself is not a big problem. The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. It doesn't matter whether you say that Qin Shihuang was cruel or protected the country and the people, as long as you can tell the reason."

In this uproar, "Hero" was released for seven days.

When it was released that year, the theater chain had just been reformed, and now it has been in operation for two years, and the market potential is higher. The first day of "October Siege" was 17 million, and the first day of "Hero" was 19 million!

Since then, it has grown by an average of 14 million data per day.

Breaking through 100 million in 7 days!
