Hello audience friends, I am Li Jiang, a reporter from Xinlang, and now we have come to the Capital Anding Hospital, yesterday in Tiananmen Poly International Cinema, suspected of watching "Truman's World", the mentally disordered audience has been sent to the hospital by his family for medical treatment, let us interview the patient's acceleration.

Outside the ward, the reporter found a bunch of young couples, who were the person's younger brother and brother-in-law.

The younger brother, who is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, faces the camera with a tired face, "My brother was in a bad mental state three years ago because of work and relationship problems, at first he was depressed, and then his temper became worse and worse, he often quarreled with colleagues because of some trivial things, and even walked on the road waiting for a red light, several times when others were closer to him, he wondered if the other party wanted to push him to be hit by a car, there are many similar things, as long as it is a crowded place, as soon as others get close to him, they think it is a thief."

Later, I really had no choice, I took him to the hospital, diagnosed with paranoia of victimization, and then I have been taking medicine at home to recuperate, my parents take care of him, try not to let him go out, watch TV and movies at home, as long as he is not stimulated, there is generally nothing wrong, and he is not willing to take medicine anymore, saying that he is not sick, and he is in a hurry as soon as he takes medicine, and quarrels with you......"

The younger brother was talking about his brother's condition, and when he talked about his illness this time, his face became more and more sad, "We also thought that we were almost well, so we didn't force him to take medicine, but we didn't expect to stop taking medicine halfway, but it slowly deteriorated." ”

"In this case, it is not because of watching the movie "Truman's World" that the old disease relapsed?" the reporter asked the doctor again.

The doctor said, "I also watched the movie "Truman's World", and it is indeed a trigger, but it is mainly the patient's own discontinuation of the drug that causes the onset of the disease, with the patient's current condition, even if he does not watch the movie, as long as he is stimulated a little, it can easily lead to the aggravation of the condition. ”

......

In the magic capital, Li Qian saw the news early in the morning.

This patient was found and sent to the hospital by Li Qian, and the hospitalization expenses were borne by Li Qian.

It's not a good thing to go crazy watching movies, even if you're sick in the first place.

However, it must be kept secret, otherwise it would be troublesome for a large number of patients to suddenly pop up.

This kind of thing can happen, and Li Qian can't let those funny netizens on the Internet go around talking about himself being monitored, who knows what else he can do.

Public relations and water armies are on the field and talk about healthy topics.

However, what happened yesterday did not affect the box office, and it still won 150 million box office on Sunday, a small decline.

The total box office of 550 million in four days is the second in the Chinese New Year file, second only to "Zodiac", which has been released for more than half a month.

"Zodiac", which was released for three weeks, received a total of 92 million last Monday, a drop of nearly 70%, with a total box office of 617 million.

The box office of "Life of Pi" is much stronger, last week was 170 million, and last week there was 130 million, surpassing "Zodiac", and the attendance rate is also very high.

However, the total box office is still just 400 million, and under the pressure of "Truman's World", it is impossible to surpass "Zodiac".

At the same time, there was also a blockbuster "The King's Feast", but no one cared about this film anymore, the box office was low, the reputation was low, there were not many films scheduled, there was no sense of existence, and there were not many people who even scolded.

The movie was also released in North America for three days, due to the time difference, it was more than ten hours later than in China, and the North American weekend box office was also released, and it got $13 million in three days.

Released by Warner and released on a large scale in mainstream theaters, this box office is not a success, but it is not at the bottom, and the reputation on IMBD and Rotten Tomatoes is very good, so you can look forward to it.

is already very good for a Chinese feature film, and this is still in the name of the new work of the director of "Jaws".

No way, in Mi Lijian, "Jaws" still has a lot of fame.

Li Qian didn't pay attention to it in North America, the box office is there, it doesn't matter if there is not, and he must be going to Hollywood.

The PR of the Oscars and Golden Globes was handed over to Warner, and Warner was very familiar with this kind of thing.

In the past, domestic films didn't seem to have carried out public relations, they all signed up, and then waited, doing nothing.

This doesn't work in Hollywood, where the Oscars are not comparable to the general election, and basically spend $100 million a year on public relations.

The basic cost of participation in the selection is $200,000, and nominations for key awards start at $1 million.

The Oscar nomination ballot was sent out on the 23rd, the deadline was January 3rd, and the nominations were announced on January 10th.

"Truman's World" also began, with several screenings and inviting judges to participate, which is the most basic PR act.

Of course, so many judges will definitely not all come, and those who do not come will usually send a DVD and then a small gift.

The DVD and some small gifts alone cost Li Qian a budget of $150,000.

But I haven't sent it yet, and the time is not appropriate.

That's all there is to it, after all, the purpose is only the best foreign language film, and there are no other awards.

It's not that non-Mi Lijian movies can't apply for the Oscars, but at least Mi Lijian's investment must be made, even if it's less.

The investment in "Truman's World" is all from China, and not a dime comes from Mi Lijian, so naturally I can't sign up.

But it's useless to sign up, this kind of entertaining film, or a foreign language film, or a foreign language film with no strong technical points, such as art and costume design, the probability of winning an award is not much stronger than winning the lottery, at most, there is a little hope of nomination for the best screenplay.

It doesn't make much sense, the main purpose is still in the best foreign language film, and this award is much more important than that big nomination.

Anyway, it's all left to Warner, and professional things are left to professional people.

However, there is also a disadvantage to the Olympics, every year during the awards season, there will be a large number of high-definition pirated Hollywood movies in China.

90% of it flows from DVDs sent to the judges, and it's the same every year, at this time the audience has a free addiction, and a lot of movies participating in the Oscars are free to watch online,

Zhang Yimou didn't have public relations before, and they may also have this consideration, after all, it happened to be released in the Chinese New Year, and it was a big production, once the pirated version came out early, the investor would lose money.

Li Qian didn't let Warner send the DVD so quickly, first try to hold as many test screenings as possible, at least wait for the movie to be released for almost 20 days before sending it, at that time, the ballot sending time has just begun, there is still a chance, and the follow-up public relations will spend more money.

Just asked the judges what they thought of the movie from Warner, Li Qian didn't pay any more attention, the domestic results were just the icing on the cake, mainly domestic, and he was still very young.

......

And now on the Internet, with Xinlang's interview with the suspected sick patient and the doctor's statement, the truth has been revealed, which has disappointed some netizens who watched the excitement.

Without the need for public relations and water armies, netizens spontaneously reduced all kinds of posts saying that they were suspected of being monitored.

After all, this is too outrageous, and no one who is a little more normal will believe that there is such a thing.

In 2012, there is still a Mayan prophecy, which can be regarded as metaphysics, but it is purely conjecture to be monitored.

Also disappointed is Huang Zhongjun, who only found a key point with great interest last night and held a video conference all night, only to tell him today that it was just that the patient did not take medicine and the old disease recurred.

He was originally happy and full of anticipation to come to work, but now he can't smile at all.

In the conference room, the atmosphere was a little quiet, and the original topic, which made the audience crazy and mentally insane for "Truman's World", was also shelved.

However, Huang Zhonglei thought about it and still proposed, "Since no one is crazy, then why don't we create some crazy people?"

“...”

Except for Huang Zhongjun, everyone looked at Huang Zhonglei with strange eyes, but immediately returned to normal.

"Isn't this too much?" Huang Zhongjun didn't veto, but just asked into the air.

The others didn't react, but Huang Zhonglei persuaded, "Big brother, we have to do something now, otherwise the pressure of "1942" will be too great, but there is no need to really find someone to go to the cinema to act, there was a ready-made example before, no matter what the reason is, it is always caused after watching the movie, mainly public opinion on the Internet. ”

This is obviously a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but others have not persuaded anything, at this time there is no good plan, only oppose it, it is very unwise.

Everyone sighed secretly in their hearts, there was no fact to support it, just the voice on the Internet, it would be strange if it could be useful, and it was hard to help the other party.

......

Starting the next day, there were some people on the Internet one after another, claiming that their family, relatives and friends were a little abnormal after watching the movie, and they always suspected that someone around them was secretly filming him with a camera.

Not only that, but some media, psychiatric and psychological doctors, wrote articles criticizing "Truman's World".

"Li Qian's "Truman's World" is too absurd, completely detached from reality, and at the same time too realistic, which resonates in the hearts of some viewers who are not firm-minded, and has affected the audience's three views and daily cognition, Li Qian should apologize to the audience, and "Truman's World" should be banned from being released!" - from a well-known psychologist without a V on Weibo.

Not to mention, as those parties said that their relatives and friends were mentally and behavingly abnormal, netizens came to join in the fun again.

When the time came to make up the story, all kinds of my friends and classmates could go and write about their mental insanity after watching the movie.

However, it has already made a lot of fun, and most of the audience still sees it as a joke.

"Hahahaha, there are really people who are so fragile that they look stupid by watching a movie!"

"Whoever believes in it is stupid, obviously making up stories, this can be new, I think you are even more stupid!"

"If it weren't for the fact that the man was on the news that day, and the doctor said that he had stopped taking the drug without permission and caused a mental disorder, and the old disease had relapsed, I would have almost taken it seriously, and I was in the cinema at the time. ”

"Why did I brush it three times, went to the cinema three times, and I didn't see anyone with mental problems. ”

"Just looking at the Internet, I feel that everyone's spirit is not right, every one is normal. ”

"It's true that netizens are mentally ill per capita, it's terrifying, will it be transmitted along the network cable, I should have no problem unplugging the network cable. ”

......

Oops!

Li Qian is about to die of laughter, these media, psychiatrists, and psychologists are so idle that they are still finding faults.

I also apologized, did I want to apologize to the people of the whole country!

Without thinking about it, Li Qian knew that this was a trick of Huayang Media, except for them, no company would do this kind of thing that was not beneficial to itself.

"I didn't look for their faults, but I came to find trouble first. ”

Li Qian shook his head, he was also helpless, he wanted to settle down a little, but no one else would let him.

In this case, there is no choice but to find their stubble in advance.

It happened that during this time, Ma Xiaogang talked about national righteousness and the like in order to promote his movies, and when he was asked about "Truman's World", he said that this was an entertainment film, and it was not easy to compare the two.

In the next roadshow, a reporter was there and asked about the appointment with Ma Xiaogang last year, and Li Qian responded positively.

"Oh, that's like that!"

Li Qian looked like I had just remembered it, and then said a little embarrassed, "Thanks to the reminder of a reporter friend, otherwise I will miss the appointment, I remember that Director Ma's "1942" is about to be released, and I have been listening to him every day lately about the mirror of the nation, suffering, history, etc."

First of all, I respect directors who shoot this kind of theme, but I don't agree with making this kind of movie about national suffering, while imagining how much the box office is, just like Director Ma talks about the nation and people's livelihood, but he opens his mouth to start with a billion box office.

It is a good thing to face up to the suffering of the nation and reflect on it, but as a filmmaker, I despise this kind of behavior by vainly trying to fill my purse with countless souls of countless dead souls decades ago!"

"1942" is actually very well filmed, Ma Xiaogang's ability is there, and it is a matter of facts.

But the purpose is too obvious, the utilitarianism is too strong, in the movie, Zhang Guoli and Xu Wan are used to squeak the pain nerves of the common people, and Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian are used to tease the political nerves of the intellectuals.

Amplifying the religious significance of God and missionaries, two Hollywood big-name actors are crammed into the line to curry favor with the so-called foreign film festival judges and film dealers.

is similar to "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", there are Hollywood big-name actors, and they are all similar images, but "The Thirteen Hairpins" had not yet been released at that time, otherwise Ma Xiaogang would definitely have to change the script.

If you pull the film carefully, you can find that to put it mildly, every scene is full of calculations and scheming.

In fact, this is not impossible, after all, movies have a cost, investors, directors, actors, theaters, everyone has to eat.

But if you want to make money, can't you think about it in your heart, and don't mention it verbally.

Ma Xiaogang talks about national suffering every day, a lot of preaching, and a guaranteed box office of one billion, which is too annoying, his character is far inferior to his movies, and it is also the reason why the audience is starting to hate him a little now.

......

Li Qian's words directly satirized Ma Xiaogang for using national suffering to fill his purse, which made the eyes of all people in the industry shine.

Two big directors, this is another bar!

Ma Xiaogang himself was stunned, and he couldn't understand why Li Qian had been silent before, why he suddenly came to find fault.

However, if you look at the news, you can probably guess that the news that criticizes "Truman's World" is the ghost of the Huang brothers.

"Brainless idiot!"

Ma Xiaogang is going crazy now, the two brothers have been operating more and more brain-dead in the past two years, this kind of negative marketing that has no effect at all, but has done negative marketing to increase the popularity of the other party, and it is almost time to send money to other people's purses.

He finally figured out Li Qian's character, and after a long time of memories and observations, Ma Xiaogang suddenly found that as long as he didn't trouble him, Li Qian would rarely come to scare people.

So Ma Xiaogang was so low-key, at most, "Truman's World" is just an entertainment film.

But now, the Huang brothers took the initiative to find trouble.

Pig teammates!

Ma Xiaogang has never seen it, and there is such a stupid person, who does something harmful to himself and others!

It's okay now, I helped Li Qian publicize it in vain, no one took their criticism seriously, only netizens coaxed, and Li Qian came to trouble them.
