At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 754 "Mei Lanfang" PK "Ip Man"

The overseas performance of "Ip Man" is very good...

It can be regarded as another kung fu IP exported to the outside world in the post-Hong Kong film era!

In addition to the hot sale in Southeast Asia, the United States is also selling well-the YouTube video of a wooden dummy has millions of views!

The most surprising thing is...the sales in South America are actually pretty good. Although most countries have not said it will be released, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, including Brazil's online revenue and offline disc revenue are all very high.

The "Ip Man" series, among other things, the martial arts part is really full of sincerity.

Especially the third part, the elevator and muay thai part.

The long shot is very enjoyable, about 15 seconds long, which is comparable to Liu Jiahui's street fighting, and the action design is realistic and handsome, which is really great.

Of course, in terms of plot, the first part of "Ip Man" has made a good start.

The screen image of Ip Man performed a play that everyone wanted to see.

Hiding merit and fame deeply, hiding at home with his wife and children when he has nothing to do, this is obviously a master master.

In terms of appreciation, it actually surpasses "Huo Yuanjia", because the whole movie of "Huo Yuanjia" is full of an idea-"revenge for wrongdoing and misfortune", which is not popular enough. Everyone thinks that the martial artist is a noble national hero. Not noble enough either.

As a movie, "Fearless" is not bad, with a very full portrayal.

But this is not what the audience wants to see.Since he didn't want to see it, no matter how good it was, it was also bad, because he failed to live up to expectations.

After so many action movies, when you make an action movie in the Republic of China, the feelings of family and country must be put first. In the end, everyone just remembered: Master Huo, when you were the number one in Jinmen?

"Ip Man" is very good, the rhythm and plot are great, at least it meets the audience's expectations.

In the first half, Ye Wen was at home with his wife, but he arranged for Li Wang Xuzhu Fan Shaohuang to appear on the stage and was blasted by him...

The role of Fan Shaohuang is a typical warrior, walking the green forest road.

I'm here, I'm going to fight, if I don't fight, why should I practice martial arts?
Being beaten up... Ip Man continued to stay with his wife at home, and then, the Japanese came!
In fact, Fan Shaohuang's role is better than Ye Wen's.

Ip Man in the movie is too tall, like a textbook specimen.

The one played by Fan Shaohuang is a martial artist living under the oppression of the Japanese people.

"Have you ever tried to be hungry?" The simplest sentence, your family lives in Dazhaizi, you have a wife to accompany you, and I still owe you money for flower pots.I'm almost starving to death. I want to care about righteousness, but righteousness doesn't care about me.

And the final climax scene of "Ip Man" is arranged after "I want to fight ten"...

This is a bit embarrassing, because 'hit ten' has already ignited the emotions of the audience, and the final decisive battle is a bit too hasty...

Speaking of which, although "Ip Man" has its shortcomings, compared with "Mei Lanfang", it is really a bit of a bully.

"Mei Lanfang" is a film that many people have completely given up on Director Chen Da, the filming is too rigid!
As far as you can't imagine, this is something the director who made "Farewell My Concubine" can bring!

It is understandable that director Chen Da said, 'We want to shoot a Mei Lanfang in our own mind', and then, the Mei family does not allow it, the Mei party does not allow it, and the theater industry does not allow it...

This also directly led to the movie "Mei Lanfang" becoming a residual product under the multi-party pull, competition, consideration, and balance.

During the shooting of the film, Mr. Mei Baojiu interfered a lot with the crew, which is destined to be a work without spirituality.

First, he insisted on not leaving anything, and cut off the scenes that Gillian had already filmed. The reason was: it was unacceptable for a celebrity who exposed his private photos to play the ancestors of the Mei family.

Later, after the release, the word-of-mouth was not satisfactory, and the audience began to reminisce about "Farewell My Concubine" in various ways, lamenting that Chen Lang's talent was exhausted...Mr. He also said, 'You should ask Leslie Cheung to research those luxury brands. ', 'Art is art, life is life, if art is the same as life, wouldn't it be gay! '

Leslie Cheung: Are you polite?

Tsk tsk, the consultation is not yet developed, otherwise, this broken crew will definitely be torn to pieces!

……

On December 12th, "Mei Lanfang" will be released first...

The box office on the first day was close to [-] million...

This statistic is a bit embarrassing - China Film has prepared 1400 copies of "Mei Lanfang", which is not weaker than the distribution force of "Red Cliff" at all...

As for word of mouth, not so good...

Most people in the industry believe that the quality of the three parts of the film is different, the first-class stunning scene in the front scene, and the third-rate soap opera in the back scene;

In addition, there are "Dawn is not a heavy responsibility", ""Mei Lanfang" lacks communication with the audience" and "The part of growing a beard and expressing one's ambition is quite inconsistent with the historical reality. They insist on pushing Mei Lanfang to the height of a sad myth. As a result, Backfired.” Comments on…

Then, "Ip Man" hit the screens—the box office in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia smashed more than 500 million U.S. dollars in three days.

The key is that the theme of word-of-mouth is passionate, the national sentiment is properly provoked, the previous plot is humorous, and the Japanese people are not blindly stupid, and the action design is decisive, violent, real, and cruel.What's even more valuable is that Donnie Yen is able to interpret Ip Man's elegance and poise to the fullest. It's hard not to make money for such a commercial film! '

'Realistic and gorgeous action scenes, the best Donnie Yen, "Ip Man" and Donnie Yen are like "Once Upon a Time" and Li Lian! '

"Donnie Yen has endured for more than [-] years and finally ushered in his masterpiece. Congratulations on the birth of the fourth Chinese Kung Fu superstar! '

In addition, there is an introduction about 'Ip Man is the master of Bruce Lee, the master of Wing Chun'...

Well, it's basically the work of the propaganda department.

Tianmei Company is really willing to spend money on publicity, portal websites, forums, post bars, communities... nothing is missed, all-round rhythm!

Even Shen Xudong wrote an article on his blog 'Donnie Yen's action era is here! '

'Who is Ye Wen?
Many people may not know him, but when it comes to Ip Man’s two apprentices, everyone should know. Ip Man’s most famous apprentice is Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee is also one of the most famous Chinese in the world. There is also an apprentice Liang Ting , the founder of the world's largest martial arts organization.It can be said that Ip Man himself was not very famous during his lifetime, but his apprentice was very up-to-date! '

'Why do we do Ip Man?Because Golden Harvest relied on Bruce Lee and Wing Chun to fight the world from the very beginning! '

Everyone knows the story of Bruce Lee, so I won't repeat it; what is Wing Chun?Director Sammo Hung directed "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qian Hua" in the past, which is actually about the inheritance of Wing Chun. Mr. Zan is Liang Zan, and Qian Hua is Chen Huashun. Liang Zan himself is the master of Wing Chun. …Our filming of "Ip Man" is a kind of inheritance in itself, and it is definitely not "grabbing the subject matter" as a certain director said! '

"Besides, you were ready to shoot in 02. What do I care? We filmed "Ip Man" with the support of the descendants of the Ye family. The name of "The Great Master" has been deleted, I won't give you face, I won't be afraid of you if I file a lawsuit!"

'Donnie Yen is very careful in shaping Ip Man.In order to lose muscle, he does not eat and only drinks a glass of water every day. During filming, he even walks around in a long gown at home. He does not smoke, but for the role of Ip Man, he wears a long gown at home and twitches his legs. smoking. '

Well, his blog is mainly to hype the contradiction between "Ip Man" and "The Grandmaster"...

Let's use Wang Jiawei's reputation to hype...

When your movie is released, there must be a gimmick, otherwise, why would the theaters arrange the movie for you at the risk of offending China Film?

Sure enough, after a publicity campaign, "Ip Man" was released on December 12th, and the theaters gave "Ip Man" 6% of the film schedule...
