From the beginning of filming "New World", Yue Guan and Wang Jing knew that "New World" would not be rated.
But the outside world doesn’t know.
When it was officially confirmed that "New World" would not be classified, many people were dumbfounded.
Why
It stands to reason that the ending of "New World" must have been around 18 years old.
Someone immediately questioned it.
Then…
Be talked to.
After that, no one questioned it.
Lin Yuner secretly said to Yue Guan: "Oppa, our place seems to be in a state of turmoil recently."
"Calm down, it has nothing to do with you. You can stay in the Central Plains and film with peace of mind."
"Oppa, you won't be retaliated against, right?"
"Think too much, let alone being retaliated. When I go to your place now, I will be treated like an ancient emperor."
As long as Li Fuzhen is here, nothing else will be a problem.
Besides, smart people can see that there is only one reason why "New World" is not rated, and that is the tacit approval from above.
At this time, keeping a low profile is the way to go. Anyone who dares to jump out and stir up trouble at this time is seeking death.
"New World" won directly this time. The popularity of this drama is already very high, and these competitors have joined forces to promote "New World".
As we all know, the more banned a film is, the more interested it becomes in the audience.
The trend is established.
Wang Jing felt wonderful.
"Yue Guan, it feels so good to be hugged by my thighs."
Yue Guan smiled: "This is why Brother Jing, you have always been able to sit upright. Many people in Xiangcheng cannot even hug you."
"Let's not talk about those street fights, Yue Guan, you can relax a bit. Originally, "New World" still needed to use your fame to promote it, but now it's no longer necessary. Others have helped us save a lot of promotional expenses."
It really saves a lot.
Now most movie fans know about the drama "The New World". Not only that, but they also know that the scale of this drama is huge.
The key is that it's not graded yet.
It would be strange if this still failed to attract an audience.
However, in the face of "New World", which was obviously a very powerful opponent, although other competitors felt very uncomfortable, they basically did not change their files.
After all, the Spring Festival period is the biggest period of the year.
If you miss the Spring Festival stall, the National Day stall may be next time.
Because "Avengers 3: Infinity War" has been scheduled for May Day next year.
As for next year's summer release, many people predict that it will be the release date for the first part of "The Immortal Qin Empire".
There is no doubt about the deterrent effect of these two movies, but waiting until the National Day will be too long.
Therefore, it is the most cost-effective to stay in the Spring Festival period to carve out a bloody road.
Although none of these movies have been scheduled, not all movies dare to premiere in advance, let alone be screened on demand.
"Monster Hunt 2", which is considered by the outside world to be the strongest competitor of "New World" during this year's Spring Festival, has no idea of holding a premiere. It just spent a huge amount of money to buy the CCTV Spring Festival Gala before it was broadcast on the New Year's Eve evening. ’s golden 60-second ad.
When Wang Jing and others heard the news, they had only one thought: "Big business owners, how much does this cost?"
Yue Guan asked someone to inquire about it, and then complained: "Sure enough, he is a big dog. This movie definitely does not expect to make money at the box office, otherwise it will be a loss."
"Do you think "Monster Hunt 2" won't do well at the box office?" Wang Jing said in surprise.
Yue Guan said calmly: "If you have confidence in the quality of the movie, do you need to hide it so tightly? "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Operation Red Sea" including our "New World" have all been screened in advance."
Most of our audiences in the Central Plains actually still have too much of a sentimental filter for the stars from the golden age of Hong Kong. They also made bad movies. They are obviously more forgiven by the audience than the stars from the mainland.
A bad movie is a bad movie, but many viewers actually have different standards for different stars.
Some stars are unforgivable if they act in bad movies, and some stars are not taken seriously if they act in bad movies. The latter group of stars in Xiangcheng are typical representatives.
There are also such examples in the Central Plains, such as Happy Family and Deyun Society. In this Spring Festival competition, Deyun Society also has a movie to be released - "Nineteen Generations of Ancestors".
Directed by Guo Degang and starring Yue Yunpeng.
If this were a traffic star, he would definitely be sprayed to the sky.
Wang Jing originally thought that both "Monster Hunt 2" and "The 19th Generation" were still big threats. Needless to say, the former had invited many big-name stars to guest star, such as Wu Jing and Sister Bayi. , Wu Xiubo... Guo Degang said that he seriously wanted to be a director, and he really wanted to make a popular movie.
Of course, if compared with Director Bi, he is still very talented, probably on the same level as Wang Baobao as a director.
"These two are also all-stars, so they are not threats?" Wang Jing felt that there were a lot of surprises.
He had thought the two were fierce rivals before.
Yue Guan smiled: "The all-star lineup also has a score. The Four Heavenly Kings and I made a gangster movie together and it was an all-star lineup. It can also be said that the big names in "The Immortal Qin Empire" came together to make an oriental mythology movie. It’s an all-star cast. From the themes to the plots and characters of “Monster Hunt 2” and “Monster Hunters,” they are purely trying to make money, and they are not making good movies at all.”
Yue Guan's plays all select actors based on their roles.
But other so-called all-star lineups just choose big names and then follow the script.
Whether this kind of all-star cast can perform well depends on luck.
"But Brother Jing, don't be too happy. These two are not threats, but "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Operation Red Sea" that dare to continue to be screened after watching our "New World" are huge threats. There is a much greater threat than these two paper tigers.”
"The actors in "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Operation Red Sea" are too weak to pose a threat." Wang Jing was not impressed.
Yue Guan reminded: "Only when the quality of the movie itself is good enough, the star cast can add icing on the cake and raise the ceiling. If the quality of the movie itself is not good enough, the star cast is useless. Brother Jing, they dare to challenge "New World" head-on. , I must be confident, we will also go to watch the premiere."
After watching "Detective Chinatown 2", Wang Jing broke into a cold sweat.
After watching "Operation Red Sea", Wang Jing already wanted to curse.
The quality of both films exceeded his expectations and was much better than he expected.
However, after watching "Operation Red Sea", Yue Guan was a little disappointed.
The same problem as in the previous life, "Operation Red Sea" did not end well, which is actually not bad. The biggest problem is that the female reporter played by Hai Qing is really not good, but she has a lot of scenes.
If you only face other opponents, the large-scale war scenes and explosiveness of "Operation Red Sea" are enough to make up for this shortcoming.
However, "New World" is complete in all aspects, with a better plot and fuller characters. Although the female Jingcha played by Lim Yoon-ah and Li Zicheng's wife played by Lee Ji-eun do not attract fans, they will definitely not offend the audience.
The actors in "New World" have no negative points and many positive points.
However, the actors in "Operation Red Sea" lost points, and the quality is not better than that in "The New World".
Plus the difference in the actor's name.
Yue Guan originally expected that "Operation Red Sea" would be successful, but now it seems that there is little hope.
