Seeing the mixed reviews of "Battle of Red Cliff" on the Internet, Yang Mi put down her phone and said to Zhang Xiao: "Honey, the reputation of "Battle of Red Cliff" is pretty good. Do you want to watch it?"

Zhang Xiao said: "Let's go at night. I don't want to be discovered and become a hot search topic."

Yang Mi smiled and said: "You don't have to go to the cinema. I'll have someone make a copy and take it to Sunny Day. Can you just watch it in the company's cinema?"

Zhang Xiao was stunned and said with a smile: "Yes, I almost forgot that we are also one of the theater chains. Okay, I will go to the company with you later."

Soon, the couple brought their daughter to Qingtian Entertainment Company.

Chen Ya came forward with a smile and said: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yang, and the little boss are here together, it really makes the sunny day shine!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes and said, "I come here every day, but I don't see anything bright anymore!"

Chen Ya said with a smile: "Isn't this Mr. Zhang and the little boss here? They haven't been to the company for a long time."

Zhang Xiao said: "Sister Ya, you are asking for help!"

"How dare you!" Chen Ya said.

After everyone joked for a while, they entered the theater to watch the movie together.

One hundred and forty minutes later, "Battle of Red Cliff" ended.

When the lights came on, Zhang Xiao looked at Yang Mi, Chen Ya and Reba who came after hearing the news, and asked: "Three beauties, how do you feel?"

Reba was the first to say: "What the fans said is absolutely correct, there are no surprises at all!"

Yang Mi said: "The script is just a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It's really terrible. I estimate that within three days, the rating of "The Battle of Red Cliff" will come down."

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiao and asked: "Husband, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiao said: "They can only be regarded as barely a few. The best war films should be war films. "The Battle of Red Cliff" simply tells a war story. It only pursues the enjoyment of viewing, but does not bring any benefits to the audience.

Psychological impact and shock.”

Yang Mi said: "The key is that the viewing quality of the movie is not very good. It must be like Hollywood war movies, the scenes are not that outstanding."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "So I am not very optimistic about the domestic box office of "The Battle of Red Cliff", but I can look forward to its overseas performance. It should not be difficult for overseas movie fans to understand such a simple story."

When Reba heard this, his heart moved and he asked: "Brother-in-law, if you were asked to film "The Battle of Red Cliff", how would you film it?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I have really thought about this. If I come to shoot, I will arrange a little person to look at this war from this person's perspective."

Yang Mi suddenly became interested and said: "It's okay anyway, so why don't you tell us in detail?"

Zhang Xiao said: "If you want the Battle of Chibi to be truly full and three-dimensional, you can't just focus on the big shots. The more important point is to let people understand what kind of life the people lived at that time."

"For example, I can set up a young man who represents the poor people. He lives in a thatched house with only four walls. His mother is seriously ill and his father is old. He can only rely on wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger."

"Cao Cao sent people to capture the young man and took him away with a bag of rice, leaving only two helpless old people. After the young man joined the army, he found an opportunity to kill the man who captured him, and then returned

When I visited my relatives at home, I found that Zi had two lonely graves left, as well as the bag of rice that was exchanged for him to join the army."

"So the young man cried loudly in front of the grave. From then on, this tragic image of the soldier was born. After all the fans have responded with endless sympathy to this soldier, I will arrange a seemingly righteous story about or

Zhao Yun killed him cleanly."

"You can imagine the scene. The sun sets in the west. A soldier who has a miserable life experience and makes you feel extremely distressed is slashed in the chest with a knife. The blood is mixed with the bag of rice that was exchanged for him and is sprinkled in the air. Then he falls to the ground, his eyes

Looking at the sunset on the horizon, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and then I slowly closed my eyes."

"Do you think that personally destroying such a soldier who represents the miserable masses, coupled with such a beautiful and heartless picture, will have a profound impact on the hearts of movie fans?"

"I can guarantee that at least 90% of the movie fans will cry and become disgusted with the war. This is an anti-war movie."

"Chen Gang's "Battle of Red Cliff" is still far behind."

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

This is awesome!

Is this really a human brain? It can think of so many plots in the blink of an eye.

If Chen Gang can film according to what Zhang Xiao just said, then "Battle of Red Cliff" will definitely become a classic film.

Zhang Xiao looked at Yang Mi, Reba, and Chen Ya, whose eyes were a little dull, and the three of them smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Yang Mi came back to her senses, glared at Zhang Xiao fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Inhumane."

Zhang Xiao was stunned and said: "Don't you want to listen to what I say? Why are you still swearing now?"

Reba who was standing next to him said calmly: "I think what you said is right. Brother-in-law, you are too cruel."

After saying that, Reba left first.

Yang Mi also picked up the child and left directly.

Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded and said with a sad face: "Who am I provoking?"

···

In the office, Chen Ya looked at Yang Mi and asked, "Mimi, what do you think of the story Zhang Xiao told?"

"Very good!" Yang Mi said with a smile.

Chen Ya nodded and sighed: "Zhang Xiao is indeed a world-class director. If he were to direct a war movie, he would definitely be able to make a classic movie like "Saving Private Ryan."

"Mimi, I want to find some screenwriters to write a script centered on the little character Zhang Xiao just mentioned. What do you think?"

Yang Mi shook her head and said: "Sister Ya, this little person is a microcosm of the cruel war. He is at most a supporting role. If he becomes the protagonist and a general, there will be no flavor."

Chen Ya nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

After "Battle of Red Cliff" was released in China, it soon began to be released abroad.

Zhang Xiao, in accordance with his previous promise to Wang Jun, gave "Battle of Red Cliff" a film scheduling rate of up to 15% in the past two days.

The film's performance was comparable to Zhang Xiao's, with an average attendance rate of 43%.

In the Chinese film industry, it often happens that there are meetings inside the walls and sex outside the walls. Just like some of the movies Zhang Xiao once made, although they did not have a very good reputation at home, they achieved very good box office abroad.

The same is true for "Red Cliff". The global box office on its first day reached US$139 million, including US$42 million domestically and US$95 million overseas.

The word-of-mouth score on the film review website dropped from 7.7 to 7.2. However, on the foreign website Rotten Tomatoes, the film received an 88% freshness rating.

What's even more surprising is that domestic movie fans generally don't like Zhuge Liang played by Takeshi Kaneshiro. Looking at foreign movie fans, apart from Fa Ge's Cao Cao, he is the favorite among movie fans.

After seeing the box office results of the premiere, Zhang Xiao said in surprise: "Mimi, are you not mistaken?"
Chapter completed!
