Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 737 The hope left to us by the director

In terms of cost, "Soulbreaker" will be crushed as a matter of course. The total investment cost of "Soulbreaker" is 5000 million. After excluding the lead actor's remuneration, there is less than 3000 million left, which also includes promotional fees.

Of course, "Soulbreaker" doesn't have any big scenes, so the cost must be low, and Guan Bao didn't shoot it for the box office. In the end, if the box office can reach [-] million, it will not lose at all.

And the box office of [-] million is really easy to reach. Looking at the lineup, the director Guan Bao is ranked among the young directors. "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" has earned him both money and fame.It goes without saying that Li Xuenian is the leading actor. He is an evergreen tree in the Chinese film industry, a veteran actor praised by everyone, and his classic works are the guarantee of his popularity.

The most important thing is that "Broken Soul Gun" is Zhang Zhong's work. Needless to say, as long as the word Zhang Zhong is written on the poster, countless fans will buy it.

Such a combination, if it can't even get [-] million box office, it would be ridiculous.

Therefore, many directors may not dare to touch Zhang Zhong's science fiction works, but they will definitely not reject Zhang Zhong's works other than science fiction.

Except for sci-fi, even if the investment in film and television of other works is as high as [-] to [-] million, this investment can be made back at the box office even if you close your eyes.

The attendance rate of the hall where Zhang Zhong and the others are located is not bad, about [-] to [-]%.

Looking at the past, it can be clearly felt that the majority of male audiences in the cinema hall and very few female audiences.

The title "Soulbreaker Gun" would not be of interest to ordinary girls.

If you haven't read the original book, you probably think it's a martial arts movie because of the title.

Of course, whether it is martial arts movies or literary movies, they are not very popular with couples, so this situation can be foreseen in advance.

At the beginning of the movie, a long shot is used to show the social outlook at that time. Street vendors, noisy restaurants, rickshaws and cars pass by each other.

But this long shot is also the last "show off" in this movie. After the long shot group portrait, the camera turned to a street performer, and the story slowly began to tell.

The first half of the movie is not much different from the novel, and even the content of the novel is almost acted out.

In the second half, another character was introduced into the movie, a fighter from the West, who came to China in search of real kung fu.

He wanted to challenge the well-known local sand dragon but was rejected. Later, through Wang Sansheng's introduction, he competed with Old Man Sun and was finally defeated by Old Man Sun.

Old man Sun won glory for the local martial arts, and became a well-known figure in the local area, replacing the original Sha Zilong.

Later, people continued to challenge Old Man Sun.

Every day, Sand Dragon can hear that Sand Dragon was challenged by so and so, and defeated so and so.

Until one day, when Sha Zilong was sitting and drinking tea in his inn, he vaguely heard a few gunshots in the distance, and then he calmed down.

Sha Zilong walked out of the inn with a feeling, but saw nothing, only a little girl holding a flower basket and yelling vigorously: "Selling flowers, selling flowers."

Seeing the little flower seller in the movie, the old couple and Pengpeng opened their eyes wide.

"this is not……"

"This is me, this is me..." Pengpeng shouted excitedly, but she didn't dare to shout too loudly, she could only hold her throat, but she could still feel her joy.

"Grandpa, grandma, this is me."

"Yeah, grandma saw it, my granddaughter is really amazing." Hu Huifang pampered Peng Peng's head.

The movie was still going on, Sha Zilong returned to the inn without seeing any abnormality, and heard the news in the evening that a person challenged the old man Sun and became angry after losing, took out a foreign gun and killed the old man Sun.

"Old man Sun is still very good at kung fu. When the foreigner fired the first shot, old man Sun dodged and almost killed the people watching the theater next to him. But he didn't dodge the second shot and hit old man Sun directly. On the back. This foreign gun is not a slingshot, and it is impossible to run away after firing it. The old man Sun staggered a few steps and then fell down. The foreigner shot after him, and he was completely gone."

The person who told the news described the scene to others like a storyteller. When others heard about the dead man, they were frightened and excited, and they also blushed, excited inexplicably.

When Sha Zilong heard the news, he sighed slightly. As for whether he sighed because he regretted the death of the old man Sun, or because of the insensitivity of these people in front of him, it is unknown.

At the end of the movie, Sazilong caressed the spear in the night light, wondering what he was thinking.

If you look at this movie as a martial arts movie, it will be a bit awkward. After all, a reclusive master like Sha Zilong has never made a move in front of people from the beginning to the end. He only appeared once when night fell. .

When watching the movie, many people hoped that Sha Zilong would pick up a spear and fight side by side with Old Man Sun to repel the foreigners, but at the end of the movie, Teacher Sun was shot to death, and Sha Zilong never made a move.

Because the movie has been released for half a day, many people have watched the movie, and there are also some movie reviews on the Internet.

Everyone's discussion basically revolved around Sha Zilong and Old Man Sun.

[Sha Zilong seems to be the only sober person in the movie. He knows that no matter how high his martial arts are, he can't resist foreign guns and cannons. It's time for Dongfang Meng to wake up. 】

[I think Sha Zilong is not sober, he is more like an ostrich. When his kung fu is eliminated by the times, his choice is to shrink back.Even if he knew that Dongfang Meng couldn't help but wake up, so what?Does it help the country a little bit? 】

【I think so too, but I admire Teacher Sun's enterprising spirit. Although he died in the end, his spirit never dies. 】

【Well, actually both Sha Zilong and Elder Sun have shortcomings.Sand Dragon is aware of the reality, but he does not make any struggle, but drifts with the times.Old man Sun's fighting spirit is commendable, but he is somewhat short-sighted. 】

[This is not an ordinary martial arts movie, who is right and who is wrong, I think the two characters Sha Zilong and Sun Laozhe are very well portrayed. 】

[I think the creator himself is also very contradictory. The character Sha Zilong represents his desire to change the inertia in traditional culture, and hopes that the Chinese nation will wake up from its deep sleep and actively absorb the essence of foreign culture.But at the same time, he hopes that the ancient culture that has been passed down for thousands of years will not disappear because of foreign civilizations. 】

[The little flower seller who appeared at the end left a deep impression on me. Her yelling made me see a little hope in this tragedy. 】

[That's right, have you noticed that although this little girl's clothes are very ragged, the colors are much brighter than others. 】

[It's not that the color of her clothes is brighter than others, but that the film has been over-colored, and the colors of others are deliberately darkened. It is estimated that the director deliberately made this comparison. 】

【This should be the hope that the director left us. 】
