In the film market in late April, the 50 million costume blockbuster "Warring States" in the first week injected vitality into the market, but it also endured countless scoldings.

Before it was released, there were all kinds of hype, attracting a large number of unsuspecting audiences to enter the cinema, and after finding out that they were fooled, the angry audience directly sprayed.

However, even so, there are still a large number of critics who are praising the film from all angles.

No matter how bad the movie is, it is not surprising that this group of professionals can blow flowers.

And the investors have also made great efforts, and all kinds of water armies are rampant, and they have launched a fierce confrontation with the audience who scolded the movie.

It's just that the water army is not very professional, and the refutation is very weak, and if you look at any forum, it is basically the same thing.

Landlord, don't watch Chinese movies with a provocative gaze, why don't you watch Hollywood like this?

Chinese films want support and encouragement, not malicious slander.

You go to eat Chongqing hot pot with the purpose of eating the full banquet of the Manchurian people, you are just looking for a smoke.

You don't think it's good for you to shoot one?

Be kind, the landlord, at least you took it very carefully.

You do what you do, don't hurt if you don't like to see it, such words as this kind of thing, the level is a little low, maybe the water army doesn't know how to praise it.

The director, screenwriter, and heroine were all scolded all over again, so it was not lively, and it once became one of the hottest topics on the Internet.

However, the box office plummeted in the second week, and it was less than 20 million.

The big production with an investment of 150 million yuan rushed to grandma's house.

On the 19th, another costume blockbuster was released, "A Chinese Ghost Story" starring Liu Yufei and Gu Tianle.

The remake is not surprisingly another scolding.

Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian turned out to be lovers?

If you look at it as a romance movie, it is undoubtedly an upgrade.

The original version was just an emotional drama between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, but now there is one more Ning Caichen, and it has become a love triangle.

This is also a must-have for 99% of lovers, how can it be called a romance film if there are not many emotional entanglements, and love triangles are few.

However, Ning Caichen became the second male lead, a supporting role, and Yan Chixia turned into the leading actor.

This kind of change must be unacceptable to the audience, and the heroine Liu Yufei's performance did not add points to the movie at all, she couldn't play a demon at all, she was too dignified and serious, and she didn't have any charm and coquettishness.

Pure and desireless, does not eat the fireworks of the world, makes people unable to raise their desires, how to seduce Ning Caichen.

When Ning Caichen was introduced, it was more like discussing math problems with the girl next door.

"Time Planning Bureau" is played in her true colors, a girl who is not deeply involved in the world, and she can't play another role.

However, during the Spring Festival just past, the box office of "Time Planning Bureau" starring Liu Yufei broke 500 million, and Gu Tianle directly replaced Xie Tingfeng because of the two acclaimed and popular movies "Eavesdropping" and "The King of Guns", and became the highest-grossing actor of the Mesozoic generation in Xiangjiang.

But the group ridicule can't run, and all kinds of comparisons with Wang Zuxian were made, and a god map was born on the Internet.

On the left is Wang Zuxian's version of the bewitching Nie Xiaoqian, and on the right is the expressionless and expressionless version of Liu Yufei, with the words "not allowed to look left".

The two bad movies are not lively, the box office is good, and they also contribute a lot of topics and heat.

......

"Where is this Jingtian sacred, "Warring States" invested 150 million yuan, and invited so many big-name stars to come over. ”

On the set of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", during lunch at lunch, there was a chatter on the table, and Xu Zheng asked curiously.

"The key is to shoot like this, and it's not like that, I don't care about the 100 million at all. Huang Bo shook his head and said.

Li Qian said, "I haven't paid attention to it, but obviously there are people behind it, this money seems to come from a newly established cultural investment company established by the Management Committee of Chang'an Quqi New District, with 500 million yuan to invest in film and television dramas, this company started filming three months after the establishment of "Warring States", there should be an official background, but the government will not be so high-profile, look at the real background in the film and television industry, one is more low-key than the other. ”

"This is much more powerful than the coal boss back then, with a background, and willing to spend money, I just watched it, she still has three films in filming, two female No. 1, and one is similar to the name of "Living Together in Time and Space", what is it called "Time and Space Rescuer", it is estimated that it is also a movie that travels through time and space. ”

Xu Zheng pondered, he was also curious, after all, as a director, he was still very concerned about the capital that suddenly appeared in the industry.

It's not powerful, the coal boss won't smash hundreds of millions of dollars, and if he doesn't ask for returns, the government's investment companies will pay for them if they lose money.

"Forget it, don't bother others, just the current development speed of the film industry, outside capital must notice sooner or later, the website I invested in before Grava still had nothing last year, some time ago when financing, several capitals gave a valuation of 200 million, this is just a website that sells tickets, sooner or later there will be a large amount of hot money pouring into the film industry, hundreds of millions are small money. ”

Internet companies are so outrageous, their valuations have increased tenfold in a year, and there is no shortage of investment, so they can pick investors.

This is still no profit model, just beginning to seize the market.

Hu Ge interjected, "Grava? I've used it, and when I was in 08 or 09, I occasionally watched the movie schedule of the magic capital on it, and now I can choose a seat online, and I can get a ticket by entering a verification code on the machine in the cinema, and there are many aspects." ”

Xu Zheng thought thoughtfully, "When "Avatar" was released last year, I seemed to have seen Director Li post on Weibo saying that this website can buy IMAX movie tickets, and now the valuation is so high, Director Li has made a lot of money." ”

"It's not much, I invested more than 10 million, and I made about 30 million. Li Qian said with a smile.

This investment or something, you can find it just by looking it up.

Hiss......

The weather at the end of April was still a little cool, and everyone gasped and went in.

I can earn 30 million a year by investing, which is not much.

Although the salary of actors is much higher than that of ordinary people, 30 million is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for them.

"I didn't expect Director Li's investment vision to be so good, I bought some stocks last year, not only did I not make money, but I also lost money. Xu Zheng smiled bitterly, "This investment is more profitable than making movies, the key is not to do anything." ”

"Investment is risky, and if the industry continues to develop like this, it is really not necessarily, a movie can sell a billion box office in the future, and you can make a lot of money by making a movie. Li Qian said with a smile.

"Billion..."

It's really open your mouth, if you want to do that, there must be a lot of people rushing to invest in movies.

However, everyone remembered that Li Qian had long said that "I Am Not the God of Medicine" would hit the box office record of 1.3 billion.

"I Am Legend" sold 800 million, and Li Qian is qualified to say so.

"Okay, let's sit down and rest, I'll tell you about the following group show. ”

Time is tight and the task is urgent, most of the time Li Qian comes to the play in person.

"Mr. Wang, the role of Zhang Changlin will be discovered in the future, and Zhang Changlin himself is pretending to be a scientific researcher who has developed special drugs, so you have to be sincere, like the health care product advertisements on TV, all of them look more real than real experts. ”

After filming in Huairou for a few days, today is the scene where Cheng Yong and his party clash with Zhang Changlin and fight in groups.

Wang Yanhui, who was a little cute, nodded, "I understand, it's fake compassion with tears in my eyes, and I've also studied a lot of TV commercials for health care products and medicines." ”

"It's not false compassion, it's about making people think that you are compassion, the savior of the sick. Li Qian corrected.

"Okay, Director Li. ”

"Then Mr. Wang, you take a break, and then go to the stage to look for a feeling on both sides, the feeling of raising your hand to incite the audience. ”

......

I took a break at noon and resumed shooting in the afternoon.

I have to say that Wang Yanhui's transmission of Xiao Jin is really amazing, from raising his hand to incite the masses to trotting on the field, to the fake energy with tears in his eyes, which is much stronger than the experts in shopping advertisements, and even wonders if he was deceived into passing Xiao Jin.

Moreover, the cuteness and cuteness of that face are easier to win people's trust.

From appearances to speeches, to inciting patients and promoting medicines, it is simply impeccable, and each shot is only shot three times at most.

There will be a group fight scene later, so Li Qian will strike while the iron is hot and continue filming as soon as possible.

Then there was the scene where Pastor Liu reprimanded Zhang Changlin for selling fake medicines, and the kind-faced Teacher Yang turned into an angry King Kong without violating the harmony at all, and his position in the face of the security guard was also very cute.

"Okay, pass!"

"The following group scene, everyone should pay attention, don't delay everyone's time because of individuals. ”

Holding a loudspeaker and shouting, Li Qian turned around and told Xu Zheng and Hu Ge, "After coming in from the outside, Brother Bo, you will be the first to act, step directly on the stool in front of you, and you will be the first to shoot in any hands-on scene."

Tan Zhuo, you also keep up, most of the women who are mixed in that kind of place have a pungent side, a little domineering, tie your hair, pick up the folding chair and do it.

Hu Ge, you have to have a backward action when you see this situation, Lu Yingying, a selfless and kind person, is often timid and can't afford any changes, but he still has to go when it's time to go.

As for Brother Zheng, Cheng Yong is not a good person in the first place, I won't say more, don't hesitate, the current Cheng Yong has not realized what the consequences of his smuggling behavior will be, it was after a fight with Zhang Changlin and after being threatened by him that he realized that he was likely to send himself to prison for selling generic drugs, so he would stop doing it. ”

Although it is a group fight, it is not difficult, in fact, the difficulty of filming the whole movie is still in the second half.

The main life in the first half of the period, the life of all kinds of small people, except for a small number of actors in the ivory tower, this aspect is not difficult for them, because they have experienced life, or have acted in life dramas and dramas before.

However, the group scene was still troublesome, it didn't finish filming for a day, and it took most of the next day to shoot for most of the day, and in the afternoon, he pulled Deng Chao over to perform a Deng Chao-style pole dance.

After the filming of a somewhat shameful scene, Deng Chao, who was temporarily arrested as a strong man, put on his clothes again, and his face was speechless, "Don't take me to play like this, come all the way from Hengdian, and let me do a pole dance naked." ”

He was temporarily called by Li Qian to make a cameo, but when he came, he realized that it was such a shameful scene.

"Deng Chao is very professional, Director Li has found the right one for you. Xu Zheng said with a smile.

"It's very enchanting, it's very good!" Huang Bo also gave Deng Chao a thumbs up.

"It's much stronger than me, and I've been learning for more than a month. Tan Zhuodao also smiled.

"Poof. Hu Ge finally couldn't help it, and after laughing, he hurriedly shrank back, and got rid of a copy of Lu Ying, and he had already entered the task.

"I..."Deng Chao felt uncomfortable, "Now my image has been ruined by you, what should I do after the movie is released, I have no face to see people!"

"Okay, okay, it's like a chaste martyr, I don't know who did pole dancing on stage when I was in college. Li Qian said disdainfully.

“...”

The black history was turned out by Li Qian again, Deng Chao didn't say anything, and left with a sad and angry face, as if he had been raped by someone.

"Drama spirit!" Li Qian was speechless.

Xu Zheng smiled, "I think Deng Chao is particularly talented in comedy, and if he plays comedy, he will definitely look good." ”

"Well, you don't even know how exciting. Li Qian said.

Isn't it exciting, the two movies "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" are wonderful and can blind people's eyes, compared to the pole dance in "Breakup Master", the scene just now is still far behind.

......

At the end of April, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" ended the scene in the Huairou studio, moved to Jinling, and began to shoot the location scene.

Jinling is not only on location, but also on the hospital and some other indoor scenes, all of which were filmed on the spot in Jinling.

At a new beginning, Li Qian plans to change his plan and shoot a major scene, that is, Cheng Yong will go to the hospital to visit the hospitalized Lu Yingli after washing his hands.

It was filmed in an older hospital in Jinling, omitting the set.

After disfiguring makeup, Hugo lay weakly on the hospital bed, his forehead that had begun to bald under his hat, his face was extremely unhealthy and pale, and there was no blood on his lips.

"Old Lu, old Lu. ”

Wan Qian, who was also not much better, woke up Hu Ge softly and fed him a sip of water.

Hu Ge patted Wan Qian's wrist, signaling that it was enough, and he looked at Xu Zheng with a long-lost smile.

"Hey, the hair cut is quite mental!"

Xu Zheng sat on the edge of the hospital bed, with an ugly smile on his face, but sadness in his eyes, "You are very bold and dare to commit suicide!"

Both of them were laughing, Hu Ge was sincerely happy to see that Xu Zheng was getting along now, and there was no trace of resentment in his eyes.

And Xu Zheng was indeed sad and guilty in his eyes.

"Let's eat an orange. Hu Ge didn't say anything, and invited Xu Zheng to eat oranges as usual.

"How did you get this way?" asked Xu Zheng.

"There's no medicine, that's it. Hu Ge's eyes are full of helplessness towards fate, no resentment against God, anger towards the world, only the helplessness of a small person, and the resignation of a dying person.

Free and easy helpless, and a little unwilling, but unwilling and useless.

In terms of appearance, Hu Ge is definitely not the most suitable, even after plastic surgery, there are only 80% of the suitable characters, but the helplessness that has no vitality in the eyes, even when laughing, there is no brilliance in the eyes, and the performance is very good.

Someone who has hovered on the brink of death can better understand that feeling, he has experienced it.

Then I had to do debridement and continue to shoot scenes in the hospital corridor.

......

"Somebody, close the window over there and block out the sun. ”

Li Qian casually called a field worker to close the window at the end of the corridor, and took a piece of cloth to hang on it.

"Brother Zheng and Wan Qian, you sit on the chair first, empty a seat, and try the light, but you can't shine twice. ”

"Okay, go to Brother Zheng's side a little bit, a little next to each other, and a little bit of clothes next to it. ”

"Okay, just keep it like this for a while, get ready. ”

...

"Scene 67, one shot, one shot!"

"Let's go!"

In the monitor, Xu Zheng and Wan Qian were waiting in the chairs outside, and neither of them spoke.

Xu Zheng leaned sideways, with his back to the ward and Wan Qian, as if he didn't dare to face them, and Wan Qian sat calmly.

The two listened to the screams of Hugo, who was undergoing debridement in the hospital room, and the pain was enough to distort a person's voice, as if the disease could wear away a person's dignity.

Wan Qian, who had experienced it for a long time, was already numb, leaning her head against the cold wall and closing her eyes.

Even with her eyes closed, Li Qian could see the grief in her heart from the monitor.

This actress has also dazzled Li Qian since the start of filming, and has fully achieved the effect he expected.

Before filming the scene where Lu Ying's family invited Cheng Yong to dinner in the capital, she was a good wife and mother, although she didn't have many lines, she toasted a glass of wine, but it was enough to see her respect from the bottom of her heart.

is extremely restrained and even easy to ignore.

But another scene where I went to ask Cheng Yong for help, the heart-rending crying scene, was explosive and full of power.

Crying scenes are not just about crying loudly and with a lot of tears.

The voice is loud, the screams are miserable, and it is useless to have a lot of tears, and many actors who cry want to laugh.

What you want is a cry that goes straight to people's hearts, a crying scene that can cry into the hearts of others, so that people don't look at the picture, just listen to the sound, and feel uncomfortable and heart-wrenching, which is difficult to do.

And now, Wan Qian has aged more than ten years in an instant, and she can't see the gentle wife before on her face, her hair is messy, and no one will suspect that she is a crazy woman when she stops on the street.

The heart-rending screams continued, and both of them were suffering inside.

The light hit the empty chair between the two of them, and there was light in the middle, and the people who passed it twice were all in the dark, only Xu Zheng's clothes were next to a little light.

No one is in the light, and a whole family faces a bleak life, with no hope in sight, and even despair.

And the other, because of the fear of the punishment of the law, fell from the light into the boundless abyss of darkness.

After more than two seconds, Xu Zheng couldn't help but get up, his face full of tangle and pain.

Listening to the heart-rending shouts of Lu Yingying receiving debridement, finally, it seemed that he had made up his mind.

Because of fear, he walked from the light into the abyss of darkness, and because of Lu's benefit, he chose to return to the light!
