Chapter 218: The even worse reputation of "Hero"

The night sky of Hong Kong Island is full of bright lights.

However, it was dim in one house, but fortunately the night sky was still bright.

With a little starlight and the warm yellow incandescent light in the room, the picture has a quiet and beautiful feeling.

In front of the camera.

Gong Li hugged Guan Xiaotong tightly, holding her completely in her arms.

He put his head on the little girl's head, face to face, and said softly:
"They beat you, not because Linlin was naughty."

The bonfire that burned the old clothes slowly burned, and the fiery red light shone on the faces of the two people.

"They said they would hit you if they liked you, but that was a lie."

"If they loved you, they would hug you like I do."

She spoke slowly as she gradually held the child in her arms tighter and tighter, rocking him slowly.

I don’t know if he was feeling pity for the child’s background, or thinking of himself, or something else.

She rocked the child in her arms, smiling but also shedding tears.

The child in her arms didn't know why she was crying, but she gently wiped away her tears in front of the campfire.

The shooting went very smoothly, and after more than ten days, more than half of the film had been shot.

However, we have to move the filming location temporarily.

"Are you going to Hainan?" Assistant Director Zhang Guorong asked Chen An.

Chen An nodded. A lot of filming has been done and it is estimated that it will be completed by mid-January.

If we want to shoot scenes at the beach now, the current temperature at the beach in Hong Kong Island is no longer suitable for filming.

Chen An is not Hitchcock, and he doesn't treat actors as animals.

And there are two little kids among them, so this is no joke.

“Although there are not many shots, they are very important. We can’t have children in Hong Kong Island.” After Chen An explained, he arranged for the crew to get ready.

Of course not everyone has to go, some will stay and some will go.

Zhang Guorong also understood it, although he had experienced a lot of hardships in filming movies in Hong Kong.

He also nearly died abroad.

But considering the presence of children, we really can't be careless.

"It just so happens that today is a day off, so let's go see a movie." After making the arrangements, Chen An came back and said to everyone.

This time, everyone naturally knew which movie Chen An was talking about.

Of course it is the already released "Hero", which will be released in Hong Kong Island on October 19th.

One week later than Infernal Affairs.

It has been released for ten days now.

The news from the country had already spread.

It can be said that the money spent on publicity and promotion was not wasted, as the movie was a huge success at the box office!

The news that the film earned 1.3 million yuan at the box office in ten days once again dealt a heavy blow to Hong Kong Island.

Originally, it had firmly suppressed the presence of "Hero" in the Hong Kong Island market, but the news that it had grossed 1.3 million in just ten days made everyone feel disappointed for their previous joy.

It looks even more powerful than Chen An’s “Time and Space Clues”!
This work, which has received mixed reviews, has also made its debut.

And it did not disappoint, the skyrocketing box office once again shocked the entire market!

However, due to the early release of "Chronicles of Time and Space", and the lessons learned from the past, the evaluation of "Hero" in this life is much worse than the original evaluation.

Many people have begun to compare the two movies.

Because Zhang Weiping had been hyping up Chen An's movies before.

"Hero" is simply not good at all. The plot is relatively weak, which is a point that "Hero" cannot avoid.

It was called "a stunning painting, not an excellent movie" by major domestic media.

However, Zhang Weiping still said in front of the media: "Those media that commented on "Hero" don't understand movies at all. This time we will break the box office record of "Time and Space Clues" and break all doubts!" ​​The news spread to Hong Kong Island. Zhang Guorong showed it to Chen An with a smile, and Chen An didn't care too much.

Don't listen to a word Zhang Weiping says.

The crew of "Shoplifters", who had been working on the project, was also arranged by Chen An to finally watch the film that Zhang Weiping claimed would break Chen An's box office record.

Although there are shocking scenes, rain of arrows, fierce cavalry, and superb color coordination.

But after watching it, Gong Li smiled and said: "No wonder there are so many people criticizing it. It's good that I didn't act in it."

"I think it's not bad. At least I can learn some of the aesthetics of the picture." Chen An didn't think much of it.

I had seen it in my previous life, but the first time I saw it in the theater it was much more shocking than watching it on the computer.

Moreover, compared with some blockbusters in later generations, this is truly a conscientious work. The story is just weak and cannot be said to be that bloody.

The fighting scenes are as smooth as flowing water, coupled with Zhang Yimou's unique compositional aesthetics.

Moreover, the aesthetics of the pictures have almost reached Zhang Yimou's current peak, which is also what Chen An has been studying.

If it were in the Spring Festival period in the future, it would not be excessive to make 30 to 40 billion. At least it is more interesting than "Eat Laugh".

"You don't have to worry, because people are clamoring to break your box office record." It can't be said that Gong Li has no good feelings towards Zhang Weiping.

But it can be said that they are hoping that he will fail immediately!
Chen An, however, didn't seem to care. "It's fine if it's broken. He can break it if he has the ability. It's decided to be broken anyway. It's a matter of breaking it sooner or later. Besides, it would be so boring if I'm the only one struggling with this."

Judging from the current reputation of the movie, the box office is no different from the previous life. It would be considered good if it could reach the box office of the previous life.

Chen An has little hope that "Hero" will break his own box office record.

It was just Zhang Weiping who was shouting nonsense.

Gong Li said she had nothing to say, you are quite open-minded, but you speak in a rude way, just like breaking a box office record.

"Let's go, Sister Gong Li, it's time to go back. We've finished the movie and have to go to Hainan tomorrow." Chen An stood up and said after seeing the movie was over.

Gong Li nodded when she heard that and stood up with her things.

Although the film was not well received by the media, some staff members still liked it.

It's really fun to watch, and it's fun in a way that doesn't require any brainpower.

"I think it's great. I don't think I'll be able to capture this kind of scene in my lifetime. Why are there so many negative comments in the media?"

"So you can only be a photographer. This plot is not interesting. Of course the media will not like it."

"The media still likes our director Chen's movie "Time and Space Clues" and is praising it to the sky."

"I like 'Hero' a little more. Director Chen's movies are a bit brain-burning. I spent two movie tickets but still didn't understand it."

"."

The employees behind were discussing as they walked, completely unaware that Chen Anbu had heard them.

But this is normal, as the movie "Hero" has always received mixed reviews.

As the first big-budget movie with so many superstars, expectations were naturally high.

This time, Zhang Weiping kept comparing his work with Chen An's "Time and Space Clues".

With such a good example before, everyone naturally had high expectations.

This is the final result.

As the only super-large production in the country today, it is understandable that the media is disappointed with "Hero".

But if you compare it with the later works, it is still very excellent.

Except for the plot, everything else is top notch.

Moreover, the plot can only be described as weak, not a shortcoming.

Halfway through the walk, Zhou Xun came up again and said darkly, "Director, when do you think I can star in a movie with such a big scene?"

They are all four major actresses. Zhang Ziyi appears in various blockbusters, but she has only been filming TV series for a long time.

"Then you should go ask my senior brother. If he took the photo, go find him."

Chen An totally ignored this.
