Chinese science fiction films have always been sensitive words in the eyes of netizens. On the one hand, because Chinese films have not developed a relatively complete industrial system, it is difficult to provide strong support for the large number of special effects required by science fiction films; on the other hand, In the past, the quality of local science fiction movies in China was a bit difficult to describe. The more deceived, it would be difficult for people to build trust in them. Although the "Wandering Earth" at the beginning of the year made all movie theaters a "really fragrant" scene of face-slaps, it did not essentially change the views of most Chinese netizens on Chinese local science fiction films. After all, in the Chinese film market, "bad" "Film" is often present, but "Wandering Earth" is not often present! And this kind of questioning happened unexpectedly in "Shanghai Fortress"!
"Shanghai Fortress" is a sci-fi masterpiece by Jiangnan, the internet literary god. It tells that when the dark forces of the future world suddenly attack the earth, the male protagonist Jiang Yang and the female protagonist Lin Lan join hands with other surviving humans in Shanghai, China. The story of the ultimate battle! Since
advertises itself as a sci-fi war movie, it will definitely be compared with "The Wandering Earth" by the audience. Not to mention netizens, I believe all actors including the director know it well! Such a comparison may be unfair to some people, but as a product for the masses, this ending is its fate!
This movie is most criticized for his cast. At that time, when he learned that Lu Han was starring in the male lead Jiang Yang, netizens almost wailed! Let’s not talk about Lu Han’s acting skills. It’s just such a little fresh meat that "relies on face to eat". Appearing in a sci-fi blockbuster makes netizens feel full of disgust!
As everyone knows, film is a money-burning industry, and science fiction film is a gold swallowing behemoth! Take "The Wandering Earth" as an example, the investment amount is as high as 320 million. Except for Wu Jing and Wu Mengda, a few people in the whole movie are familiar faces of netizens. The others are almost newcomers, and most of the funds are directed by Guo Guo. Fan invested in special effects, and the actors paid a very small percentage. What is even more exaggerated is that Wu Jing still enters the group with a salary, not to mention the zero pay for acting, but also to spend money in it!
What about "Shanghai Fortress"? The total investment is 300 million yuan, and Lu Han's salary alone accounts for 100 million yuan! This is still a conservative estimate, it may actually be more than 100 million! The salary of an actor accounts for 1/3 of the total investment, so how much money is left for special effects if the salary of Shu Qi and others are added? Probably less than half! Think about the "Wandering Earth" director Guo Fan shouting out of insufficient funds while extremely compressed actors' pay, then netizens can think of the visual experience brought by the special effects of "Shanghai Fortress", breaking their toes!
So why does "Shanghai Fortress" have to choose Lu Han as an actor? Recently, at the premiere conference of "Shanghai Fortress", some viewers mentioned this issue! Teng Huatao replied: "Jiang Yang is not a character in a Hollywood movie. He has very Chinese emotions in his body. He dares to sacrifice himself and defend the world, but he dare not confess like someone he loves. The outside looks passionate, but the heart is Very restrained. In Lu Han, I saw this kind of precious feeling."
came to circle the key points of Teng Huatao’s answer: 1. This male protagonist must be a Chinese; 2. It must have a unique Chinese temperament; 3. Lu Han meets these requirements, it is difficult to be valuable. WTF? If Lu Han is in line, the editor dare to say that he is also in line! Director, if your old man really doesn't want to admit that he has taken a fancy to Lu Han's fan traffic, you can also say that Lu Han is handsome, it fits the original setting! This makes sense at least logically. What do you mean by this one? I really can’t think of a word to praise Lu Han, can I just talk about it in a perfunctory way?
can see that the director of "Shanghai Fortress" did not shoot this movie as a "Wandering Earth", but It’s the end of the world version of "33 Days of Broken Love". For , we should be mentally prepared for such a movie. Don't have too much expectation. As long as it surpasses "Robot", can we give it a thumbs up? ?
After reading it, like it! Non-entertainment is polite!
