What is the significance of the movie "The Promise"? Based on foreign classics?

Right and wrong of the film "The Promise"

Chen Kaige, full of idealism, caused great repercussions in the society after the release of the extremely luxurious Promise. Let's not talk about the investment and environmental impact of this film for the time being. Chen Kaige was very angry about the popular "a bloody case caused by steamed bread" on the Internet. The phrase "people can't be so shameless" has almost become a classic, and he is determined to take the spoofer to court!

The root of this matter is that Chen Kaige wants his noble idea to be recognized by the mass market, and all the right and wrong are mainly the dislocation between Chen Kaige and his promise and society!

In 2004, a China film invested more than 30 million US dollars. Wuji was the biggest film investor in China in 2004, and Chen Kaige had the most personal works, which was the Asian heavyweight star lineup. The film's creators are all top experts in the film industry, and the director is Chen Kaige, who enjoys a high reputation in the international film industry. This photographic work won Bao academy award for best cinematography for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the action design was performed by a famous martial arts director, who worked as action design for Hollywood blockbusters such as The Matrix and Spider-Man. In the play, besides Zhang Dongjian playing the Kunlun slave and Hiroyuki Sanada playing the bright general, China Liu Ye plays the ghost wolf, Cecilia Cheung plays the princess, Nicholas Tse plays the northern duke Wu Huan, and Chen Hong plays the witch.

The script of Promise is still absolutely confidential, and the crew even stipulates that actors are not allowed to take it away. In the speculation, some people say that this is a China The Lord of the Rings, a unique supernatural movie, while others say that this is a mythical movie in the form of "The List of Gods". According to the crew, The Promise blurs the background of the times, leaving only historical figures. Cecilia Cheung's princess, Zhang Dongjian's Kunlun slave and Liu Ye's ghost wolf will stage an epic about commitment and betrayal, home country and love.

Introduction:

Princess Allure, played by Cecilia Cheung, was specially cared for by the goddess of fate, which made her become the most beautiful princess in the world from a poor child. She is loved by thousands of people and enjoys all the splendor, but on one condition, she will be cursed by fate and will never get true love unless she goes back in time and comes back from the dead. However, there is a humble slave (Zhang Dongjian) who really loves her. At the cost of his own life, he broke the chain of fate imposed on her with his extraordinary running close to the speed of light, and made her return to the starting point of life and regain the right to choose. The process of getting true love is not so smooth. Princess Qingcheng will also have an earth-shattering love struggle between Wu Huan, the Northern Duke, General Guangming and the slave Kunlun.

Shoot indefinite environmental damage

In order to shoot beautiful scenery, the Wuji crew went to the scenic spots to shoot on the spot, but due to lack of professionalism, these scenic spots were destroyed.

The destruction of Bigu Tianchi:

The infinite and stunning mountain rhododendron flower sea is located in the Bigu Tianchi Lake, which is known as the holy lake in Shangri-La County, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

Since the reform and opening up, Yunnan Province has devoted itself to building "a big province of ethnic culture", "a big province of tourism" and "a film and television shooting base".

Therefore, the Yunnan provincial government gave great support to Wuji's filming in Bigu Tianchi. Ma Wenlong, who served as the county magistrate of Shangri-La in 2005, told Xinhua: "We are very happy to learn that Chen Kaige chose Bigu Tianchi as the shooting location of Promise. We think this is a very good opportunity to promote the beauty of Shangri-La and Diqing Prefecture. "

On June 28th, 2003,165438+1October 28th, the Diqing Municipal Committee asked the relevant state departments to "reduce intermediate links and do all the work quickly and efficiently on the premise of handling relevant formalities according to law", and therefore established the "Leading Group for Unlimited Diqing Co-production" headed by Li Aiming, Vice Minister of Propaganda Department of the State Committee.

Since then, the filming work of the "Promise" crew has progressed smoothly, and almost all the matters involved have been supported by the Yunnan provincial government; The Yunnan government invested 6.5438+0.5 million yuan to widen and reinforce the 22-kilometer forest mountain road leading to Bigu Tianchi, and only allowed large vehicles of the crew to drive directly to the vicinity of Bigu Tianchi; In order to build the exterior building "Golden House of Begonia" and the wooden bridge across Tianchi Lake, the government has specially coordinated wood-related matters.

In June 2004, Chen Kaige led a team to Shangri-La.

So far, the crew has not demolished the "Golden House of Begonia" and the wooden bridge across Tianchi Lake, and the local government does not have enough funds to deal with the aftermath, so this dilapidated building has been standing by the Tianchi Lake in Bigu. The wooden bridge that has long been broken and unable to walk divides Tianchi into two, destroying the original landscape.

The Propaganda Department of the State Committee of Diqing contacted the Wuji crew several times. In August, 2005, the crew finally sent an auction letter about entrusting to deal with the endless legacy of the film. According to the auction letter, the legacy of the film set will be entrusted to the propaganda department of Diqing State Committee, and the site cleaning, demolition and restoration will also be entrusted. On June 65438+1October 65438+June 2005, the Propaganda Department of Diqing Prefecture Committee entrusted the Promise Heritage to Shangri-La County Government. However, the Shangri-La county government did not get the funds needed to dismantle the steel frame of Haitang Jinshe.

Bloody case caused by steamed bread

A bloody case caused by steamed bread is an online short film created by Chinese mainland freelancer Hugh. Its content has been re-edited with the film The Promise and CCTV's "Society and Law" channel "Report on the Rule of Law in China", subverting the plot and theme of the original film The Promise, and reinterpreting it in a way called "spoof"-banter and exaggeration. The film was produced at the end of 2005 and widely circulated on the Internet.

Chen Kaige, director of The Promise, revealed to the media in Berlin on the evening of February 1 1 2006 that he had sued Hugh and wanted to settle it finally, saying that "one can't be so shameless".

The relevant person in charge of the editorial department of CCTV said that the appreciation of "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bread" was very creative and did not infringe the interests of the channel, and Hugh would not be prosecuted.

On February 14, Netease, Sohu, People's Daily and other online media made special pages biased towards Hugh, affirming that Hugh's works brought happy value to netizens and supporting Hugh's right as a citizen to comment on literary works by online video. On the comment pages of these special topics, almost all commentators supported Hugh and made negative comments on the artistic level of the film The Promise.

Regarding the accidental lawsuit caused by the short film, Hugh made a statement here: he apologized to the relevant parties, but did not admit the infringement.

After A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bread and its related litigation aroused social repercussions, the artistic level of domestic commercial blockbusters and their attitude towards the audience became a topic of extensive discussion among netizens. In addition, the concept of "spoof" has also begun to enter the room, which has been widely discussed and imitated by netizens and network content providers.

What does it mean that Shen Man is the "Promise" played by Chen Hong? Chen Kaige said that "infinity" means infinite possibilities. In fact, for Chen Kaige, the promise is also exploring his "infinite possibilities".
