1065: Dark Horse Road (Tenth Update:
Li Donglai openly took Christine, left the promotion of "Twilight" and participated in the premiere of "Pi" in China, and completely watched the movie.
After watching it, he really wanted to say, "Director Ang Lee's skills are admirable, because no matter whether the audience understands it or not, they will be excited to give me a thumbs up and say 'Awesome-Pussy!'."
"The Fantasy Drift of the Boy Pi".
It sounds like a visual blockbuster of fantasy adventures, and after watching it, I even sigh that I am feasting my eyes.
This is not the best movie to use 3D effects, but the dazzling visual effects make the whole movie natural and unpretentious. Although the narrative of the whole movie does not have much plot fluctuations, the origin and transformation of the plots and the wonderful photography and special effects are still very shocking.
It is not difficult to see from the title that this is a film full of fantasy and adventure style. From a story level, it tells the story of an Indian teenager walking with a tiger on the same boat after a shipwreck.
Such stories are usually summarized as the theme of "growth" or "friendship". What's more, the film also uses 3D technology and fashionable elements of disaster type, which makes it difficult not to understand them in the logical system of commercial films.
Ang Lee's movies are all feature films, so there is never a threshold for story acceptance. Every audience can refine emotional factors based on their own experience and needs.
However, it is not easy to truly enter Ang Lee's film world.
Maybe someone has watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in full for dozens of times. Perhaps for more fans, this number is not worth mentioning. Even so, after studying Ang Lee's autobiography and Xu Haofeng's interpretation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", you realize that you have been staying at the door of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and have not walked in at all.
A good movie must have transcended the shallow story and reached the most primitive emotional state of mankind. I don’t say much about the mystery of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Xu Haofeng’s interpretation in his film review collection "Knife and Stars" is already very unique. In "Youth Pi", a teenager, a tiger, and a vast ocean, Ang Lee uses closed space scheduling, magnificent visual images, and virtual and real techniques to refine a highly metaphorical life: How can a person get along with himself?
The latest 3D masterpiece "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi" created by the first Chinese director of the Oscars over the years has truly achieved the promotional effect of "word of word of mouth".
"Zero negative reviews" also made the film reach the grand viewing occasion when "Inception" was released. Many theaters lined up long queues, and the box office was easily "drifted" by over 100 million in the first week. The 3D effect was even more praised as comparable to "Avatar".
There is no need for extra publicity. Those who truly understand the movie will spontaneously promote it for him.
How can you not share such a good movie with friends?
"Pi's Fantasy Drift" is now being screened worldwide, and the North American box office cannot represent the world.
The film's beautiful visual wonders, immersive 3D effects, and the theme story with great spiritual power have praised those who have watched it.
In China, this kind of scene is even more serious. More and more celebrities such as Liu Jialing, Shu Qi, Wang Leehom, Li Yundi, Yang Rainie, Li Ai, Li Jing and other stars posted on Weibo to support Ang Lee. Liu Jialing said: "Thank you, director Ang Lee, for giving us a full and moving emotional film on Thanksgiving!"
In addition to celebrities, the writers' gang also joined the "Jiangkou" team. Liu Tong, who wrote many works such as "Fifty Meters Deep Blue", quoted a line from the film and reposted it nearly 10,000 times. He said: "Life may be about constantly letting go, but it is regrettable that I failed to say goodbye to them. Everyone remembered this sentence, and everyone had no time to say goodbye to them. Many people could not let go because they were unwilling to give up, and many unwillingness made people's memories always have life."
Many netizens said that they were also hit by this line, which is the biggest tear point in the whole film. Liu Liu, the author of "The Snail House", also praised "The Fantasy Drift of Pi" as the most recommended blockbuster this year, and she also called on everyone to go to the cinema to watch this film.
Director Lee's first 3D masterpiece "Pi's Fantasy Drift" created the visual wonder of "Avatar". The luminous whales, the fast flying fish, the vast starry sky, the fluorescent jellyfish, and the millions of mongooses on the man-eating island all made the audience exclaim "Wow!". This time the 3D effect is not a show-off, but a perfect blend with the story, making people feel immersive. The theme is to kill "Avatar" in seconds.
Pai: "Faith is like a house, which can have many floors and many rooms."
Writer: "Is there room for doubt?"
Pi: "Of course, I suspect that there are several rooms on each floor."
"I have a tiger in my heart. Sniff the rose carefully and examine my soul. Dear friend, you should tremble, because that is your true face." - Sigfri-Sasson.
Perhaps many people will find this sentence particularly representative after watching "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi".
After watching the film, many viewers had a heated discussion on the ending. Which of the two stories do you believe most? Ang Lee did not answer the truth in the movie. He left the truth to the audience. The truth is in the hands of the audience. Everyone has a Richard Parker in their hearts and a "Pi's Fantasy Drift".
Many god-like comments appeared on the Internet, and some inferences made people believe that this is a real story: "Richard Parker" was originally the name of the protagonist of the real story of the man-eating shipwreck in history.
In 1884, the Mignonette sank and four crew members were trapped in the South Atlantic Ocean. In addition to the three crew members, there was also a 17-year-old male servant named Richard Parker. While drifting on the vast sea, three adult crew members killed the orphan Richard Parker and shared his flesh, so they survived. This film tells not a beautiful and outrageous fantasy story, nor is it a twisted life choice entangled in religious beliefs and rational thinking. The original author and director tactfully told the audience that this cruel fact was almost crazy and implicit, which was a repentance of life, a question of faith, and a reflection on human nature.
Because this movie is really not called "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi", but
.
Under this movie viewing craze, "The Fantasy Drift of Pi" exceeded 100 million in just four days after its release in mainland China. It was only a matter of time before it surpassed "Lust, Caution" and became the most popular film in mainland China.
Before "Boy Pi", the last film with a box office of over 100 million in the first week was "Successful Squads 2", which was released in early September.
The 106 million-yuan score of "Pi" is still a bit different from the 160 million-yuan score of "Supervision 2". However, the scheduling of "Pi" is less than 57,000, which is far lower than the latter's 114,000. This result is actually quite considerable.
What is more impressive is the heated discussion effect caused after the film was released.
The open optional ending of "Pi" has become a hot topic for movie fans to discuss, and various metaphors and interpretations in the film have also become social topics. The last time the introduction of films stimulated this craze can be traced back to Li Donglai's magical film "Inception".
But obviously, the subjective question of religion and philosophical metaphors contained in "The Young Pi" is full of possibilities than whether there is a question of right and wrong in the end.
Even though movie fans are extremely enthusiastic about "Pi", an indisputable fact is that "1942" will be released on the 28th. With the follow-up of "The King's Feast" on the 29th, the already low-level film schedule of "Pi" will be further reduced, and the film will withdraw from the IMAX screen from the 27th.
In addition, "Cold War", which won the championship for two consecutive weeks, has saved 93,000 films, the number one screening in the country. This amazing theater share has kept the decline to a minimum, and the third week of revenue of 48 million is already a gratifying record.
The current cumulative box office of the film has reached 239 million yuan, and it is not completely impossible to strive to break through the 250 million mark next week.
In contrast, the reputation work "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" with a Douban score of 8.3 was coldly received. The film's revenue this week was only 960,000, and its cumulative revenue was 2.03 million in two weeks.
It can be seen that the movie fans' viewing psychology of recognizing movies by their faces still exists. Even though "The Arrows Pier" has a reputation that is almost the same as "The Young Pier", there is no scene, no topic, and no stars, it can only be lost in the film market and ends in a dim manner.
However, the potential of "Cold War" is almost over, and the Phantom will also arrange for the number of films to continue to decrease, making the way for "Young Pi".
The New Year holiday is coming next week, and the two new films "1942" PK "The King's Feast"?
"cut!"
Li Donglai didn't think they could be more classic than "Young Pi". "1942" is a disaster film, maybe very classic, but the audience may not like to relive the disaster at that time. After all, the earthquake in 2008 was already heavy enough. As for "The King's Feast", an epic blockbuster directed by Lu Chuan and starring Liu Ye, Zhang Zhen, Wu Yanzu, Qin Lan, Sha Yi and others. He had already had a great time fighting with Feng Xiaogang before. "Nanjing Nanjing" directed by Lu Chuan is said to be well-reviewed. Unfortunately, as a Chinese, the history in his mind cannot be recognized by the majority of Chinese audiences. Perhaps this movie gave him the power of arrogance and dared to compete with Feng Dapao.
Then let the box office test the truth.
In the mainland film market, the sequel "Lost in Thailand" of "Lost in Thailand" that Phantom took over the New Year's Eve period has also opened up a hot publicity path. Three cobblers, shamelessly playing the lower limit to attract attention, traveling all over the country to promote.
Once "1942" and "The King's Feast" show fatigue, it will be an opportunity for comedy to turn over again.
Li Dong has watched the edited version and has many funny points. With the Phantom's signature and publicity operations, he is very optimistic about the potential of this comedy to become a dark horse.
"Donglai, you have arranged so many publicity sites to make us busy." Xu Zhen looked at the newly-disclosed publicity schedule sent to him and became very impressed.
Li Donglai smiled and said, "Diligence can make up for a lot of things! The box office of "The Hunger Games" in North America exceeded 400 million US dollars, and was produced by diligent promotion. Jennifer Lawrence is still a post-90s generation. I was ordered to run for a hundred promotions. Do you want to compete with her?"
"Okay, I can't tell you. I've gone to the publicity." Xu Zhen's bald head drooped and hurried to catch the plane.
