"Yue Guan, do you want to make an action movie?"
After the premiere of "New World", Hong Jinbao stopped Yue Guan.
His guest appearance in the movie "New World" was Shi Dong, the boss of the Kinmen Group who died immediately after his appearance.
This is a real guest appearance, the kind that I would be embarrassed to accept even if I was offered money.
Wang Jing has a good relationship with Yue Guan and Hong Jinbao. After all, they previously co-produced the two-part film "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", so when Wang Jing called, Hong Jinbao came.
Then Hong Jinbao and Zhen Zidan also have a good relationship. After all, they are basically in the same circle.
The entertainment industry is too small, and the Hong Kong industry is even smaller.
So there is no secret.
The main reason is that Yue Guan did not ask Zhen Zidan to keep it secret for him, and asked Zhen Zidan to introduce more suitable action movie actors to him.
Zhen Zidan even remembers Wrinkle Zhaolong, and of course he will not forget Hong Jinbao, the big brother.
However, Zhen Zidan obviously failed to convey the message properly.
Yue Guan corrected him again: "Brother Bao, it's not me, it's a friend of mine who wants to make a movie about this."
"It's not important. Anyway, in the end, it's you who has the final say." Hong Jinbao is very good at focusing on the key points.
Yue Guan: "..."
I can't refute what you say.
I must have the final say.
Otherwise, why would I spend this money
"Yue Guan, brother, although I am old, I can still move. If you need supporting roles, remember to greet me." Hong Jinbao said.
In the industry now, he is actually more of a martial arts instructor and rarely films anymore.
The main reason is that it has been eliminated by the times.
Not everyone can keep up with the times.
Not to mention Hong Jinbao, even Cheng Long can clearly see that the market and the audience no longer recognize his plays.
The general trend is irreversible.
Hong Jinbao has seen through this a long time ago, so he has no intention of changing his fate against the will of heaven. He just wants to use his remaining energy.
Yue Guan certainly welcomes this.
"Brother Bao is always strong. I will definitely call you if I need him."
"Yue Guan, tell me, do you really want to make an action movie?" Hong Jinbao asked.
This issue also attracted the attention of Zhen Zidan, Wu Jing and others.
Just this year, a "Kung Fu blockbuster" "Kung Fu Dao" was filmed. Li Lianjie supervised the production, Li Lianjie's godson Hua Shi served as the director, Hong Jinbao, Yuen Woo-ping, and Cheng Xiaodong served as action directors, and the princess sang the theme song.
Because he had such experience, Hong Jinbao asked in advance.
Yue Guan smiled: "That friend of mine is not Mr. Ma. Without Mr. Ma's strong desire for expression, he will not participate in anything other than normal action movies. Brother Bao, don't worry."
When Yue Guan said this, Hong Jinbao was indeed reassured: "You have always done things safely. As long as you say it will work, it will work."
"Actually, it doesn't have much to do with me. My friend is mainly related to someone above. In recent years, action movies have declined, and men's masculinity in society has generally become less and less. The entertainment industry has always conveyed aesthetics to the public. In fact, we hope to see more military and action movies come out, but action movies are becoming less and less profitable, so capital has stayed away from this field."
"Are you sure you can make money?"
"That friend of mine is somewhat confident."
The same old style will definitely no longer work.
But action movies can be upgraded.
Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" is actually an upgraded version of the action movie.
Action movies focus on action, and there are many movies that can feature action scenes.
All it takes is a qualified script, some violent scenes involving fists and fists, and finally some emotional stimulation, such as beating crooked nuts.
It is unrealistic for action movies to return to their former heights and to promote a kung fu superstar of Cheng Long's level. However, there is still great hope for it to become an indispensable genre like police and gangster movies.
To put it bluntly, Hollywood's "Fast and Furious" series is no longer about racing, but mainly about action scenes and big scenes.
It still needs to be upgraded to a big production, big investment, and big scenes, and then the box office limit will be higher.
Cheng Long is still making action movies like old Hong Kong movies, but the box office has taught him how to be a good person many times.
Yue Guan will definitely not rush to lose money.
Although he never thought about how much money he could make.
When making this type of movie, Yue Guan's original intention was not only to enjoy himself, but also to take advantage of the situation.
It’s still the same sentence: A person’s destiny, of course, depends on self-struggle, but the process of history must also be taken into consideration.
Zhang Yin and his father clearly said when chatting with Yue Guan that they wanted to see more tough guys appear on the big screen.
Then Yue Guan will create conditions for more tough guys to appear on the big screen.
This is called considering the historical process.
Only by following the general trend can you eat the most meat and let yourself stand at a higher level.
This includes "New World" as well.
After the premiere of "New World", it received positive reviews from all over the Internet.
Just like Yue Guan said, many media and big V evaluations are "the best black list movie of the decade".
"The darkness of the two gangs in the well, the exaggeration of brotherhood, the almost oppressive and suffocating rhythm control, and the dark ending to the end, five stars."
"Hu Jun is amazing, Yue Guan is amazing, and the plot is amazing."
"The same background as "Infernal Affairs", a darker plot than "Infernal Affairs", and a more satisfying ending than "Infernal Affairs"."
Lots of good reviews.
But there are also negative reviews.
The negative reviews mainly focus on issues of values.
Spring Festival stalls are more than just a competitor.
Almost all competitors have exerted their efforts, bribed various media and trolls, and vigorously exaggerated the scale of "New World":
"In "New World", there are no good people in Jingcha, South Korea. Jingfang doesn't want to fight the underworld at all, but just wants to control violent organizations. The values promoted by this drama are very disharmonious."
"There is no denying that "The New World" is a good movie, but the scale of "The New World" is too large. It is strongly recommended to classify it and prohibit minors from watching it."
""The New World" is indeed the best black-listed movie in the past ten years, but this is due to its large scale and dark ending. It is definitely not suitable for family viewing and must be classified."
As we all know, the Spring Festival is a time for families to go watch movies together, so comedies are very dominant.
Once it is classified, it will first lose the market of children, and then parents will often accompany their children. It is conservatively estimated that the classification will cause "New World" to lose at least one-third of its box office.
This is also what the competitors of "New World" want to achieve at the same time.
However, after the media and trolls they bribed made everyone aware of the standards of "New World" and raised the audience's expectations for watching the movie, the higher-ups said:
"'New World' is not rated."
a bolt from the blue.
Many people were wailing.
And all the creators of "New World" are having a party.
Wang Jing looked up to the sky and laughed: "What a wise leader."
