Chapter 337: No One Knows Comedy Better Than Me!
Teacher Li Qian continued to class, but moved from the sofa to the bed, Tong Liya blushed, lazily lying in Li Qian's arms, listening carefully like a good baby, and no longer interjecting.
When Truman was young, in order to keep him on the island in the future, the program team arranged an accident in which his father drowned, leaving an indelible bed in the young Truman's heart, and he had a fear of the sea.
One day when he was 30 years old, the father who had been dead for many years suddenly appeared, although he was soon prevented from meeting by the people arranged by the program team through various means and took his father away.
It wasn't until Truman became disgrieved and began to suspect that after trying to escape, the program team weaved a perfect lie for them to meet "father and son", so as to achieve their satisfactory results.
However, he later found out that everyone in the company he worked for did not really work until he showed up, and the same people and cars were coming and going on the road near his house every day, and he couldn't believe that his wife, who claimed to be a doctor and went to the hospital every day, was not a doctor.
Truman began to suspect that the world he lived in, including his wife, friends, father, and everyone else was lying to him, and he decided to escape from this small city that made him shudder at all costs, and to find his true life and the people who really loved him, and the people he loved.
However, the small city of the show team has absolute control, and even the moon hanging high in the sky will become a giant searchlight that can shine on the whole city at night, searching for him throughout the city.
After several failed attempts to escape, Truman decides to overcome his childhood fear of water and leave the city from the sea, only to find out to his despair that the sea and sky in front of him are also part of this huge studio.
In the real world of false beauty and unknown, Truman finally chose the latter. ”
Li Qian retold the plot of the whole movie in detail, and at the same time, he also went through the movie in his mind, thinking about what needed to be changed.
"This is too pitiful, I have been deceived for thirty years, if it were a normal person, I guess it would have collapsed a long time ago. Tong Liya sighed after a while.
"Do you think we're also the protagonists of a show?"
Li Qian was speechless, "... It's just a story, take it seriously, you've traveled all over the country, can you still have such a big studio?"
"However, will there be technologically advanced aliens or the like, using high technology, such as an invisible 360-degree monitor with no dead ends, to watch us in all directions?"
"How is it possible, don't make it up. ”
"What if?"
"Then give them a live live broadcast and let the aliens have a long insight!" Li Qian smiled and rolled over and pressed up.
.......
After a while, Tong Liya was finally normal.
"Your story is too brainy, it's a bit like "The Matrix". ”
"That's science fiction, I'm a comedy, simply put, it's a story of a person who was locked up in the studio from childhood to adulthood without knowing it, and after 30 years of live broadcast around the world, he broke through the shackles. Li Qian said.
Tong Liya shook her head, "Just listening to you, it's scary to think about, if you shoot it, don't laugh, I guess the audience will be scared when I see half of it, it's too scary." ”
Li Qian shrugged, "This is an inspirational comedy, a touching story, in reality, there are ordinary people in their thirties, there are ordinary people with mortgages and car loans, how many dare to change the status quo." ”
"You sarcastically mock reality again, be careful that the big scissors of the photoelectric will give you a click. Tong Liya covered her mouth and smiled.
"Don't worry, the officials are not so smart. ”
Li Qian doesn't care, this is a brain-oriented absurd comedy inspirational film, and I see what irony it means, is it possible to use scissors for such a big thing?
Thinking it was Mi Lijian, the police saw the big black brother hanging out in the rich neighborhood at night, and he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Get up, I'm going to the celebration press conference later. ”
Li Qian patted Tong Liya's buttocks, got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
......
At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qian came to the hotel.
The box office of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" broke 1.6 billion, and even if the box office of 40 million screenings is added, 1.7 billion is basically impossible, so I simply held a celebration banquet.
When I broke the 800 million record, 1.3 billion record, and 1.5 billion mark before, I didn't hold a celebration press conference, the main reason was that I didn't want to take the lead.
The above have all spoken out, and a series of reforms will be carried out, and the credit will be attributed to the above, and the work will also be done by the above, so Li Qian should not come to steal the limelight.
Now that the medical reform has officially begun, there will be no problem in doing a big job.
The 1.6 billion celebration press conference, the scale is not small at all, there are more people in the industry than the premiere, Li Qian's future pictures are all dispatched, and they should be greeted.
Li Qian said hello to the invited guests in the banquet hall and led the actors to another conference hall.
"Click, Click......."
From the moment I stepped into the conference hall, the shutter sound never stopped.
"I wiped it, and finally saw Li Qian. ”
A reporter was looking forward to it, but he cursed in his heart, he hadn't seen Li Qian for more than half a month, and he couldn't wait to appear in front of the public 25 hours a day when other people's films were released, but Li Qian was good, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was so popular that he was still hiding.
If you don't see each other for a day, you can be regarded as experiencing what it's like, if you choose between his girlfriend and Li Qian, he doesn't hesitate to choose Li Qian.
"Hello everyone, welcome all media friends to come and participate in the celebration press conference of "I am not the God of Medicine". ”
Li Qian greeted the reporters with a smile, "During this time, thanks to everyone's support and help me promote the movie, the 1.6 billion box office has everyone's efforts, on behalf of all the crew, thank you!"
That's not bad!
These words are very useful to reporters, and we also have our credit for the success of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", if we had not spared no effort to publicize and build momentum, where would we have achieved today's results.
Then it was time to go through the procedure, and Li Qian talked about his experience and so on.
"In fact, about the leukemia group, and even the entire cancer patient group, the movie is just the tip of the iceberg at this time, before the movie, I mixed into some patient groups, diving in the group every day, watching them chat, some groups are lifeless, no one speaks for a long time, some groups are active, but back and forth is to encourage each other, to be strong and so on, to be honest, if it were you, I guess I thought it was a group of Xiao.
A disease that makes people unable to say anything and don't want to say anything can be seen, most people are desperate, and more than 90% of leukemia patients have thought about suicide to end this nightmare, more than once, and even every day...... As a bystander, I am very heartbroken, and now that the country has formulated corresponding policies, I am also glad that the country has formulated corresponding policies to enter medical insurance and reduce drug prices. ”
Xu Zheng and others also said their own thoughts.
Then there was a celebration of the box office record, and then the big screen showed the pomp and circumstance of the film since its release.
It's time for the interview.
"Director Li, you have single-handedly promoted medical reform, saved countless lives, is an unprecedented achievement in the domestic film industry, I don't know what aspect your next film will focus on, we and the audience are looking forward to you reflecting more social issues and promoting relevant government reforms. ”
Li Qian shook his head, "For the time being, I don't plan to make a movie with a realistic theme." ”
"Why?"
The reporters are a little strange, Li Qian has proved that reality movies can also be a big hit, not only make money, but also contribute to society, and add a lot to their reputation, there are too many benefits, there is no reason to change the genre.
"From the beginning of the year to the release of the movie, in the past seven months, the crew and I have not stopped for a moment in order to make the movie release as soon as possible, and it is not bad to say that exhaustion, and it is not only physically tired, this type has always put our mood in a heavy situation, which is very overwhelming, and it has also made the audience feel heavy for more than a month. ”
Li Qian said with a solemn face, and then pretended to be relaxed, "So, in order to make up for everyone's mood, I plan to make a comedy movie, and strive to let everyone have a happy time next year, come with a smile, and leave with a smile after watching the movie, and throw away all your troubles." ”
Comedy?
Before the reporters could ask, Li Qian took the initiative to reveal the type of the new film, which is strange.
In the past, I didn't squirm and ask for a long time and didn't say anything, but it was the same as the first time for a girl!
However, comedy is beyond the expectations of all journalists, this is a typical genre film, and it is also the direction that most directors will not easily change careers.
Many directors have made many types of films, Chen Kexin, who has a changeable domestic style, has made wars, songs and dances, martial arts, love, and even horror films, but he has never touched the most popular comedy.
Cheng Kaige is now making a reality movie "Search" based on real events, and he has never made a comedy.
Zhang Yimou has filmed it, but "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" is obvious to all, and you can have as many spicy eyes as you want.
It can be said that directors who switch careers to make comedy are basically unsuccessful.
Comedy and action are the genres that have the most requirements for the talent and characteristics of directors and actors, which are obvious to all, and these two types of directors and actors will not easily change careers, and others will not easily turn in this direction.
But Li Qian said that he was going to make a comedy?
"Director Li, why did you think of making a comedy?" the reporter hurriedly asked.
Although he doubted whether he was deaf, Li Qian still patiently repeated, "Because I want to make the audience happy." ”
"Comedy is a special genre, Director Li, you have never made a comedy. ”
"Indeed, true comedy is not the kind of exaggerated comedy that relies on jokes and lip service, and those are not comedies. Li Qian nodded in agreement, and then said, "But although I haven't made a comedy, I'm no stranger to this genre, and many viewers think that the first half of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is particularly funny, I think this is enough to prove it." ”
“...”
The reporter was speechless, this can be compared.
Not only is the reporter strange, Xu Zheng and others, especially him and Huang Bo, are famous for comedy, and they know better than anyone how difficult comedy is to shoot and act.
It's easy to make people laugh, and inserting a joke can make people smile.
But the difficulty is that comedy is different from other types of films that add some comedy elements, and it runs through the whole film.
Originally, they thought that Li Qian might return to his old profession and make a science fiction film, but they didn't expect it to be a comedy.
However, Xu Zheng's mind is active again, since it is a comedy, there should be no one more suitable than him.
Domestic comedians, just him, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang, there are no extra candidates.
However, I still have to shoot "Thai Embarrassment", in the industry, the director will always be above the actors, unless it is mixed with Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.
But the possibility of becoming the next Cheng Long and Li Lianjie is not much less difficult than becoming the next Li Qian.
"People in Embarrassment" sold 200 million, and this time "Thai Embarrassment" also pulled Huang Bo in, the trident is combined, Xu Zheng has enough confidence to hit 500 million, 800 million, and even 1 billion, he will occasionally think about it.
On the one hand, he is his own movie, and he can become a first-line director after filming, and on the other hand, Li Qian's film is destined to be a big hit, and the comedy audience is wider, so if you don't want to sell 2 billion, how to choose?
Xu Zheng suddenly felt a kind of happiness distress, and couldn't help laughing.
Huang Bo was puzzled by the look, thinking to himself what Xu was doing with his bald head.
Li Qian continued to deal with reporters, and he smiled, "No one knows comedy better than me, let's wait and see." ”
