Crime suspense is a very important genre among genre films and it is easy for dark horses to appear.

But it is a pity that the domestic crime suspense film was born with a deformity due to national conditions.

Fortunately, there have been many high-quality crime films released in the past two years.

Not to mention remote movies, last year I was screened in two crime movies, "Border Storm" and "Manslaughter".

Both movies received good reviews, but only "Manslaughter" achieved a satisfactory box office: 367 million, setting a new box office record for domestic crime movies.

But for the upcoming "Witness", the company doesn't have high expectations - just make money back.

This movie adopts the reasoning of Western forensic schools - it is inherently inconsistent with the national conditions.

In addition, Xin Yukun used a lot of "fancy" editing techniques in this movie, which may cause viewing pressure for ordinary viewers.

Therefore, even if this movie has a cast like Zhou Gongzi, Sun Honglei, and Zhu Yawen, the company does not want to say that it can repeat the success of "Manslaughter".

But the premiere of "Witness" still aroused a movie-going craze.

First, "bandit" Sun Honglei changed his previous screen image and played a good father.

That’s what the media reported anyway.

This caused Sun Honglei to express his bitterness at the scene: "When Kun'er approached me, I didn't want to take it as soon as I heard it was another crime film. I said that I was almost being labeled as a bandit professional by the audience, and I didn't want to play a criminal anymore. What should I say about your company?

The director is really shameless. Once he has identified a person, he has to sign him up." The latter sentence was said to the remote executives at the premiere, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

He called me and invited me to dinner and play ball. Later he told me that he would not play the role of a criminal this time, but would play the role of a father.

"After listening to it, I felt that there was still something to write about, so I agreed to read the script first, and the subsequent cooperation became a matter of course."

Sun Honglei can be said to be the Mesozoic who has collaborated with the most remote people.

Starting from "Insidious", to "Border Storm" to "That Guy in My Body" and now to "Witness".

There is really a shortage of middle-aged actors, but Sun Honglei's image and acting skills are really suitable for these dramas. The relationship between the two parties has always been very good, and they have always cooperated.

The second reason is that "Red Sorghum" will be simulcast on Channel 4 during the National Day, and "Witnessed by All" Zhou Gongzi Zhu Yawen has a very good warm-up effect.

There was also a special gap at the scene for the two of them to promote "Red Sorghum".

"I was very nervous filming with Sister Xun," Zhu Yawen told an interesting story about filming at the scene. "She can catch it no matter how you act, but the scenes she bounces back can eat you up."

"I was very nervous when I started taking this role. I told Director Xin Yukun, if it doesn't work, you can replace me. I can't handle it." Zhu Yawen recalled the two months of filming with Sun Honglei and Zhou Gongzi. He was nervous and scared.

I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle the drama and will embarrass the company.

"No, no," Mr. Zhou defended, "Yawen is actually a very talented actor. He will be a little slow at first, but he will get better and better later on."

"I learned a lot from the two seniors in the past two months on the set."

Sun Honglei was "unhappy": "I will become a senior?"

"Don't make trouble, you are still pretending to be young when you are over 40 years old." Mr. Zhou exposed Sun Honglei unceremoniously.

Mr. Zhou's popularity among the public is obviously better than that of Yu Nan in the original version, which means Zhu Yawen loses too much to Aaron Kwok.

But at this time, Xin Yukun was a few blocks away.

Xin Yukun has accumulated a group of crime movie fans through his perfect performance in "Manslaughter".

Many people bought tickets based on the director's name.

"It's a good story. It's tentatively ranked second among domestic crime suspense films. The first is "Manslaughter"."

"The structure is very good, and the script is also good, but in terms of lens language, Xin Yukun does not appear as mature as in "Manslaughter", and is even a little childish."

"The role of Zhou Li is actually not attractive. Mr. Zhou probably took it because he liked the whole story, and he has a close relationship with the producer Cheng Yu'an. Such a role is simply unbeatable in her hands. It is a very mature performance, but also

No surprises.”

"In terms of surprises, my daughter Lin Mengmeng's performance is eye-catching. Deng Jiajia became famous for her role as the aunt in "Love Apartment", but she was not framed in the sitcom, but continued to expand her acting career. In "The Witness"

The performance is really outstanding.”

The September slot where "Witness" is located is not a good time, but it also squeezes in two movies to compete with it - "The Smurfs 2" and the Russian blockbuster "Crossfire" introduced by China Film.

The latter is nothing to worry about, as there is no domestic market for Russian films.

Animated movies like "The Smurfs 2" had some impact on "Witness", with 7.16 million on the first day. On Saturday the second day, which was the first day of "Witness", "The Smurfs 2" received 8 million, while

"Witness" reported 13 million.

It became the second highest box office on the first day of this month. The first was the blockbuster movie "Elysium" starring Matt Damon, which was released last week, with 14.4 million on the first day.

Judging from the beginning, "Witness" is a bit disappointing for its starring cast.

Popular celebrities still can't support an unpopular subject.

It may also be related to the serious narrative of "Witness". The overall atmosphere of this movie is slightly tense, which may not be so pleasing to the current audience.

…………

On the 22nd, Cheng Yuan came to Qingdao to support Lao Wang.

It’s really a big deal, 30 billion invested in the construction of Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis.

If Lao Wang doesn't make a move, it will be a tens of billions-level investment.

It's good to cooperate with Wanda remotely. The AMC theater chain in the United States is very considerate. A big animation company has taken too big steps and is short of cash. Wanda Pictures asked for 200 million US dollars without any hesitation.

Cheng Yu'an had to remember this love.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, a red carpet was decorated according to film festival specifications.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta Jones, Kate Beckinsale and other Hollywood stars were all present.

From the Chinese film industry, Zhang Ziyi, Li Lianjie, Tony Leung Chaowei, Zhen Zizi, Xu Shanzheng, Huang Xiaoming, etc. also came to support the show.

The most exaggerated thing is not just these celebrities, but the most exaggerated thing is waiting for the presidents or chairman of the world's four major artist management companies and six major Hollywood companies such as Warner and Universal, as well as Lionsgate and Weinstein Pictures, to all show up!

There are also Oscar Academy Chairman Isaac, former Chairman Hawke, CEO Hudson, and MPAA Chief Operating Officer Michael Robinson all here!

Compared with these big shots, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Changtian seemed too humble at the scene.

I could only watch with eager eyes as Cheng Yuan talked and laughed with these people, talking about some Hollywood movie projects, and the CEO of the Sixth Big Company took the initiative to offer the project to Cheng Yuan for investment.

Which other domestic film studios have this kind of treatment?

Leonardo joked with Cheng Yuan at the scene that if you need me for your next script, I can set aside a whole year.

Lao Wang was in high spirits at the scene!

Announced that the International Film Festival will be held in Qingdao every September starting from 2016.

An Oscar Day will be set up during the festival, and a series of themed activities will be held by the Oscar Academy. At the same time, the world's four major artist management companies have promised to invite 30 international first-line superstars and directors to participate in the Qingdao International Film Festival every year. The international film festival is currently in the process of being approved by the relevant national departments.

formalities.

Lao Wang said at the meeting: "If Wanda doesn't do it, it will be fine. If you want to do it, you must be the best in the industry. This launch ceremony has already been evaluated by the outside world. It has a higher starting point than the three existing film festivals in China. I believe that,

The first Qingdao International Film Festival in 2016 will definitely be very exciting and very successful. I have given the Qingdao International Film Festival a positioning goal and strive to become one of the three most famous film festivals in the world in three to five years."
