In 2013, Feng Xiaogang's movie "Private Order" was released, and the box office soared, constantly breaking Feng Xiaogang's own box office record.
But this movie also created the lowest score of his film, a bad review, because the audience familiar with Feng Xiaogang's film knows that this movie is a remake of his own movie "Party A and Party B".
It does not match his status as a big director, and it is a film made up of several stories. So a group of film critics began to shell Feng Xiaogang,
Feng Xiaogang, who is known as a small steel cannon, naturally wants to fight back, so he said: I have no knot with the audience, and the audience spends money to scold me for being okay.
Film critics can't do it, they scold me when they collect money, they scold me, and I have to scold them back. The people who sell multigrain pancakes on the street have a license, do they have a license?
The audience wondered why Feng Xiaogang did not scare the audience this time.
Because this movie Feng Xiaogang really does not care much, it is aimed at the box office,
The film he shot the year before, "1942", which he did not understand at the box office, although it had more than 300 million box office.
But compared with his lineup and scenes, it should be no money,
So the movie "Private Order", in order to fulfill its box office promises, had to make this movie. The audience is willing to spend money, and he is willing to be scolded by the audience.
Every time Feng Xiaogang's film is released, he always has to have a war of words, either with the audience, or with film critics, or with contemporaneous films.
In 1997, Feng Xiaogang's film "Party A and Party B" was released, which was the first Chinese New Year movie in China.
In order to prove his determination to the investors, Feng Xiaogang, as a screenwriter and director, did not ask for a penny before filming.
Instead, he chose to be paid according to the box office share.
The chapter-style shooting method is still being imitated by many movies,
It's just that "Party A and Party B" connects the various fragments very well, and now it is basically unrelated.
The film was a hit after its release, earning 33 million at the box office.
The next two years were "Not Seen and Not Scattered" and "Endless", and both achieved super good box office.
The main actors are Ge You, these films can be said to be Feng-style comedies, can also be said to be Ge-style comedies,
In the fourth year, in order to seek a breakthrough, he began to try other types of films, but did not achieve good results.
In 2000, a movie called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" completely changed the creative direction of domestic commercial films.
Even domestic story-shot films can be so popular internationally,
This year, Feng Xiaogang also invited a number of big coffee at home and abroad to join his own movie "Big Shots".
Also known as "The Funeral of the Big Name Director", coincidentally, during the filming, Feng Xiaogang's three friends all held funerals.
They are the death of Yingda's father-in-law, the death of Liang Zuo, the death of Feng Xiaogang's mother, and the death of the mother of producer Wang Zhongjun.
Although the box office is still gratifying, Feng Xiaogang's position as the first commercial director in China has been threatened.
The following year, Zhang Yimou achieved a domestic box office of 250 million yuan and a global box office of 1.4 billion yuan with a movie "Hero".
It is higher than feng Xiaogang's box office for all movies combined.
It also opened the road to domestic blockbusters, and the actors, scenes, productions, and stories are all top-notch.
It's just that later imitations of the film only learned the cast.
Later, Zhang Yimou successively filmed the movie "Ten Faces Ambush" "Full of Golden Armor", which also achieved a high box office.
But the plot and story are getting weaker and weaker, and it is necessary to force the ethical story of literary and artistic films into commercial films.
The result was that neither audience was flattered, so the ratings were low.
Also in the same period, Chen Kaige's "Wuji" and Feng Xiaogang's "Night Feast" have the same problem, domestic shells plus foreign ethical stories, see people in the clouds.
Chen Kaige must fight a lawsuit with that person because others say that "Wuji" is not good, because the Internet spread too fast at that time, and indeed had a huge impact on the box office of "Wuji".
With the comments of netizens joining the movie, the "small steel cannon" also broke out completely.
In 2010, "Tangshan Earthquake" was released, and the box office was high, and it was not a comedy film that Feng Xiaogang was good at.
When the box office of the movie exceeded 600 million, Sun Haiying, another big mouth in the entertainment industry, said: He never watched domestic films, and he did not watch "Tangshan Earthquake" with the tickets sent by Feng Xiaogang.
In the face of the gratuitous bombardment of the former partner, Feng Xiaogang was still very gentle in the first round, saying that Sun Haiying was very cute.
But Sun Haiying did not have the slightest intention of relenting, saying in an interview with another media: "I hope that filmmakers can be more united, and capable people should take movies seriously." ”
He also said that the Chinese film market has become a desert of entertainment films, only watching American movies, not Chinese movies, unless the movies are corrected. And will not act in the film directed by Feng,
His wife, Lu Liping, could not be persuaded to persuade her.
Feng Xiaogang sent three states in a row: "Dishonest grandson", "Really treat yourself as a stone glorious", "Look down on commercial films, really clear and high, don't charge money for acting".
After that, the gossipy reporter no longer waited for Sun Haiying to appear and asked his opinion again, but directly called Sun Haiying to contact, but there was no contact, and the war of words was over.
By the time the movie "Nineteen Forty-Two" was released in 2012, the film he had been making for two years should be the one he had been shooting for the longest time.
Before the release, he said with enthusiasm: "I bet on the popularity accumulated by the previous 12 films, and I believe in my judgment of the audience." I was also mentally prepared, even if I lost, I had no regrets. ”
However, because the theme was too heavy, the box office did not meet expectations
In order to promote the movie, his boss sold dozens of paintings for free for the children of migrant workers to see, and as a result, some netizens said that he was putting on a show.
Feng Xiaogang also directly said: What is the crime of showing movies to these children for free? You don't show you evil.
Also in the same year, Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhen Zidan began the "drama hegemony battle", and various stars took sides.
Shu Qi, who once cooperated with Feng Xiaogang, also joined the team, and as a result, he was forced to close Weibo by netizens.
Feng Xiaogang supported Shu Qi and said: You are wrong, I will never be kidnapped by this identity. I'm going to say to those who insult her, "Insulting you as beasts."
When his "Private Order" was released in 2013, there was a lot of scolding, and he sent seven Microblogs in three hours to bombard film critics, saying that they did not say good things when they took money.
In 2015, the movie "Old Cannon" starring him and Deng Chao's "Villain Angel" were released at the same time.
Feng Xiaogang said even more bluntly: garbage audiences have created garbage movies
Although the words are not good, but this time it has won the support of many netizens, because no matter how to scold the "Little Times" series and Deng Chao's "Angel" series, their box office is very high.
In 2016, Feng Xiaogang tore up with the prince again, because the scheduling rate of his film "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" in Wanda was much lower than that of other theaters.
The article said: 10.9% of the schedule reflects the 10.9% of your group's mind; this small mind reflects the small pattern; and this small pattern cannot achieve President Wang's grand blueprint. ”
, the prince replied: Talk yin and yang weird listening to disgusting
When it came to the movie "Fanghua", Feng Xiaogang seemed to have stopped a lot, and his attitude towards netizens was very peaceful.
In the end, the film set a box office record for Feng Xiaogang's films.
Although Feng Dao likes to hate each other with netizens, every time there is a war of words, it seems that there are more people on his side.
