Director’s Legend

The smoky box office battle ended in mid-May. "Painted Skin" leads the rankings in North America with 30.22 million. Rotten Tomatoes scored 75 popular film critics, 63 passed, 84% freshness, and well-known film critics rated 30, 23 passed, freshness It also reached 77%.

Among the top film critics, like Roger Ebert, they all gave "Painted Skin" a satisfactory score. Unfortunately, in recent years, Roger was sickened and he was not interested in giving his thumbs up anymore, which made Shao Shuaijun a little bit regretful. With Roger's thumb up, the box office of the movie will increase by at least half.

On imdb, the score of "Painted Skin" is 7.7, which is the score that a qualified commercial film should have. Yahoo's comprehensive score is b+, which is a very good score. The critics and the audience have very consistent ratings, and both think this is a good movie.

It was released in Asia and North America for eight days, and all the box offices around Painted Skin were hot. Among them, North America totaled 41.05 million U.S. dollars, and the mainland successfully broke through the 200 million yuan mark, breaking the box office record of "33 Days Brokenhearted" with the fastest breakthrough of 200 million yuan. box office. In Southeast Asia, about 40 million yuan was received. "Painted Skin" was very popular in Japan, earning nearly 700 million yen, which is more than 50 million yuan.

In the first round of release, "Painted Skin" has a global box office of nearly 630 million, which is more than 76 million U.S. dollars, which is about to break 100 million U.S. dollars.

The achievement of this kind of achievement is truly a joy for the whole country, and the six investors have already begun preparations for the celebration banquet in advance. CCTV reported the news for the first time, although "Hero" was the first mainland movie to win the North American Box Office Weekly Championship. However, the gold content of Painted Skin is obviously greater than that of Heroes, and it is worth bragging about.

There is also a lot of applause on the domestic Internet. It is able to kill Hollywood blockbusters like "Mission Impossible 3" and "Poseidon", so that all Chinese netizens will be honored, and then look back at other American movies, and finally they are no longer. Holding a self-ashamed mentality, but exulting.

What's wrong with Hollywood, domestic films still kill you in seconds, they are still in your turf!

Those who have good things start to sum up the factors of the success of Painted Skin. One of the netizens of Tesla's Eye on Mtime.com. A technical post was posted on the blog.

"Throughout the three blockbusters, we can make a clear comparison of the factors of box office success or failure."

The first one is cost. The total cost of "Poseidon" is 160 million US dollars. "Mission Impossible 3" costs 150 million US dollars. "Painted Skin" costs 60 million US dollars.

Article 2. Special effects. The same is burning special effects, "Poseidon" has the most special effects shots, and "Mission Impossible 3" is the second. "Painted Skin" is the least.

Article three, publicity. "Mission Impossible 3" has the first two high-grossing reputations and Tom Cruise's box office appeal. "Poseidon" is a shipwreck that claims to be bigger than the Titanic. Both of these two have strong publicity and are well known around the world. According to incomplete estimates, "Painted Skin" was limited to a few regions in China and Asia before it was released.

Fourth, the lineup. "Mission Impossible 3" has Brother Tom, "Poseidon" has Wolfgang Peterson, "Painted Skin", nothing. You want to ask Shao Shuaijun? Sorry, even Chinese Americans don't necessarily know him. As for Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun? They are no different from Chinese tourists on the streets.

Article 5, the story. "Mission: Impossible 3" is about the subject matter of secret agents. The first two have been demonstrated, and this subject matter is very attractive. "Poseidon" is about disaster themes, and disaster films have always been attractive themes, and "Titanic" demonstrates the possibility of success. "Painted Skin" tells the love story between humans and monsters. Well, if it is classified as a love theme, there is indeed something to do. The key is that the main theme of monsters. Americans know Spider-Man and vampires. As for the vixen, can they eat it?

Combining the above five points, we can draw a conclusion, whether it is cost, special effects, publicity, main creative lineup or story theme, "Painted Skin" is not dominant. But in the end "Painted Skin" won the box office championship. It is hard to believe if you don't watch the content of the movie, but you will understand after watching the movie.

No matter how beautiful the packaging is, if there is no real material, it is just a packaging.

"Painted Skin" has a compact story with various commercial selling points, but it does not one-sidedly pursue selling points, but focuses on storytelling. The special effects at the end are just embellishments, not overwhelming. From beginning to end, this story is completely readable and successfully shaped the character of each character.

In "Mission: Impossible 3", you can see piercing shots everywhere, but "Poseidon" has no idea what to say. If you have a story but didn't tell it carefully, thinking that a few popular scenes with a lot of selling points can make money, and while fooling the audience, the audience will also abandon you. It's like a primary school student who has taken a one-month vacation. It was only when the school started that he hadn't written any homework. He immediately took out his homework and picked out a few key points and scribbled, thinking that he could pass the pass.

In the end, it was his own foot. Therefore, I think the success of "Painted Skin" is the success of the director.

A director who tells stories attentively is the key to the success of a film.

"The storytelling Li Yu has the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Brokeback Mountain". On the contrary, it is the failure of "Hulk". This truth deserves all directors' attention."

Tesla Eye is the earliest registered user of Mtime.com and one of the earliest users to be promoted to celebrity users. Their film review analysis is recognized by the majority of users. Even newspapers reposted their opinions from time to time. As soon as this post came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention, and more than tens of thousands of people praised it as "useful."

"Beijing Entertainment Newspaper" simply asked Tesla Eyes for a draft and published it as soon as possible.

"The storyteller director-Shao Shuaijun!"

This is the new title given to Shao Shuaijun by the domestic media. It seems plain and not domineering at all, but it is extremely high praise. The director can take the commercial route and the literary route, but in the final analysis a movie is a story. No director can boast that he can tell a story. This requires good performance at the box office and humanistic care.

Shao Shuaijun has always claimed to be a commercial director, and others have viewed him from a commercial perspective. Although the box office has become more and more crazy, those who have been deeply affected by the so-called humanistic care still hold him full of contempt, thinking that he is full of the smell of copper. The movies made are all kitsch of shit.

Today, "Painted Skin" has won glory for the Chinese people and defeated the blockbuster Hollywood movie kingdom. No matter how harsh people are, they dare not say that Shao Shuaijun shot shit, otherwise he would be spurned by thousands of people.

Shao Shuaijun's general trend has been achieved, and he has jumped out of the frame of domestic directors and stood on the world stage.

...

Knowing that he was named a "story-telling director", Shao Shuaijun published a thank-you letter on his blog for the first time: "Thank you for your love. I can't say I can tell stories. I can only say that I can tell stories with my heart. Yes, now, and in the future!” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!

ps: Thanks to the people of Yindingshan for their reward.

Today's four is over, let's say something.

Lao Bai is a handicapped party, can only do 2K party, 8000+ words a day is the limit.

By the way, I was very depressed today. I don’t know what’s going on here, but it suddenly changed to a card today, which made me lose my line more than a dozen times.
