Chapter 251: Single Dog Not Guilty!
November, which can already be said to be the end of the year, is about to pass 2010.
After the National Day is over, the film market is much more deserted.
The only thing that can sell at the box office is "West Wind Spirit", which was released at the end of October, and the action crime movie directed by Gao Yushu, the director of "The Wind", has exceeded 70 million at the box office in two weeks.
Duan Yihong, Ni Dahong, Wu Zhenyu, Xia Yu, Wu Jing and other actors starring, a rare high-quality western crime film.
The box office of 70 million is already a big hit for a western crime film, and this is still the fire of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and Wu Jing, which is somewhat hot.
In addition, only the romance movie "My Sassy Girlfriend 2" sold 10 million in three days after its release.
Nine years ago, Nanbang's "My Sassy Girlfriend" was also popular in China and was very well-known, and this "sequel" also had a big publicity front.
However, the heroine is fake innocent, fake barbaric, fake and true feelings, and the actors are there one by one to fake injuries, fake infatuation, fake gentle efforts, and behave like a pseudo-mother.
A bad review can sell 10 million in three days, and this title accounts for at least 80% of the credit.
The dogtail sequel, or the sequel that has nothing to do with anything other than the title, has also made many people see the significance of the IP.
In fact, the previous popular movies such as "Koshihikari Treasure Box", "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Zero Dog", and "Tang Bohu Point Autumn Fragrance 2" have already made many producers see business opportunities.
Juli Film and Television invited Li Lianjie to create the sister chapter "White Biography" of "Green Snake", and the image of Fahai is estimated to be subverted again.
Monk, the most impressive thing is Fahai in the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady".
In "Green Snake", Xu Ke was subverted once, the robe was full of muscles, and he would fight if he didn't agree with him, and Zhao Wenzhuo, who shouted the mighty Tianlong, was also fresh in people's memories.
Guang Xian, who had been silent for two years, finally took action and invited Chen Jiashang, the director of "Painted Skin", to shoot the classic Liaozhai story "Painted Wall".
Dadi Cinema found Liu Zhenwei to remake "East Becomes West 2011".
A large number of films that are either remakes or sequels have been established one by one, and they are all famous directors.
It's all gimmicks, if you can't find an appealing director or actor, then look for a well-known story.
There is no doubt that all bad movies.
However, what is a little strange is that the rumors of "Painted Skin 2" are about to be prepared, but Chen Jiashang went to shoot "Painted Wall".
After a little inquiry, Li Qian also figured out that Chen Jiashang had just lost the sequel to "Painted Skin 2".
The newly joined producers, Huayang Media, and Ningxia Film Group, have changed to a new director, Wu Ershan, who only has one feature film, and it has not yet been released.
Rookie director, no wonder the sequel style gap is so big.
Let's not talk about the core of the story, it's normal for the same person to be big in this regard, but it's like two movies on the screen.
The new director seems to be an art major, or studying oil painting, no wonder the scenery, costumes, and exterior scenes all have strong color beauty, which is particularly gorgeous, and is somewhat similar to Zhang Yimou, but there is a gap.
Generally, even if you change the art, it is impossible to make such a big difference, and it makes sense to change the director.
However, the two big flowers are a problem for new directors.
Li Qian heard Deng Chao say in a casual chat before, when "The Wind" was in the later stage, Li Binbin and Zhou Xun's agents went to find two directors every once in a while, and after the finished film came out, it was even more one shot at a time, second by second, and no one wanted their actors to have fewer scenes.
Chatting about gossip is probably a bit exaggerated, but it also shows how terrifying the fight between actors of the same level is.
In fact, when he has nothing to do, Li Qian also likes to inquire about some gossip, which is much more exciting than all kinds of rumors on the Internet.
During this time, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was a big hit, Wu Jing was in the limelight, and Li Qian was not idle.
In fact, the addition of "PUBG" to Wu Jing is not as good as "Ip Man" for Donnie Yen.
After all, the core of "Ip Man" is the role of Ip Man, and this role must be played by Donnie Yen, and there is really no more suitable actor than him in China.
The biggest selling point of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is the idea itself, and the role of Wu Jing is not irreplaceable, and there are many people who can play it.
As a result, when this movie appeared in the news, nearly half of the news was prefixed with Li Qian's producer, even if Li Qian deliberately reduced the number of times he appeared in the media, the movie almost never appeared in public after it became a big hit.
However, "Warm and Warm Light" is about to be released, the quality and watchability of this movie are beyond doubt, Su Lun's last movie was a big hit and also became famous, but the narrative is not so straightforward, and many viewers will be very confused if they don't read any film reviews.
Li Qian also accepted an exclusive interview and also promoted the movie.
"Hello Director Li, last month, the action movie "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" you supervised sold 290 million at the box office, creating a box office record for action movies, and also maintaining the undefeated record of the movies you supervised.
The producer's movies are all big hits at the box office, not only the entire film industry feels incredible, even ordinary audiences are surprised by Li Qian's vision, but the audience is more concerned about Li Qian's new films, and they don't care much about this issue.
"Actually, it depends on the understanding of a person, they have all worked with me, and a few months of a movie is enough for me to have a clear understanding of their abilities.
Wu Jing is an exception, but in fact, his first movie "Wolf Teeth" also has a lot of merits, and the male protagonist in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is a Chinese soldier, and he is a bloody and murderous soldier, which is a little different from the modern soldier in our images. ”
Compared with "Wolf Warrior", Wu Jing in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is also a soldier, but it is still a little different, but the story is set on an isolated island without order, which slightly weakens the image of this soldier, and needs to be more destructive and fierce.
Hearing Li Qian say a bunch of nonsense, the reporter was straightforward, "Now many people call Director Li the leader and mentor of the new generation of directors, what do you think?"
... Li Qian was speechless, this hat is buttoned, and Chiguoguo is killed.
Su Lun and Guo Fan are okay, Xu Zheng and Wu Jing are also the new generation of directors, and they are not young.
However, after thinking about it, the eldest Xu Zheng is only 38 years old, which is indeed young for the director industry, and he is five years older than Ning Hao, and Wu Jing is two years older than Ning Hao.
Lu Chuan, who is also a new generation director, is still one year older than Xu Zheng.
Although Guo Fan, Su Lun, Xu Zheng, and Wu Jing are enough to represent the new generation of directors at the box office, they can't say that.
"It's all a joke that others talk about casually, and I'll tell you a piece of news, Wu Jing is planning to make a blockbuster with a modern military theme, and at this time he has also entered the Jinling Military Region and started to experience the role of a fully closed barracks life. ”
Li Qian diverted the topic and threw out Wu Jing's new plan, and they couldn't find Wu Jing anyway.
Sure enough, Wu Jing, who has just directed and acted in a box office movie of nearly 300 million, even if he is sucked away by Li Qian, he is still one of the hottest directors now, and the movie is still being released.
Li Qian also ambiguously revealed some true and false things, and it took a while to turn the topic back.
talked about his "I Am a Legend" again, and finally returned to "Warm Inner Light".
"Director Li, in the trailer released before, Tong Liya has changed many looks, especially the color of her hairstyle, and this is a sci-fi romance, is there any deep meaning in it?"
Sci-fi films, combined with "Frequency of Life and Death" and "Living Together in Time and Space", many fans speculate whether different color hairstyles represent characters in different time periods.
Li Qian nodded, "Indeed, the image of the character in different time periods is distinguished by the color of the hairstyle, and each color also has a different meaning. ”
There is no doubt about it!
At least one key piece of information was learned, and although the movie was released the day after tomorrow, it was at least useful information.
The reporter is already writing a news belly in his heart, but he still wants to dig out more things that the audience cares about.
In November, there was also a movie like "Warm and Warm Light" that attracted the attention of fans, not to mention that the last "Living Together in Time and Space" by Su Lun and Tong Liya was a big hit, and there was also Deng Chao, a first-line actor.
Some non-critical information, things that do not involve spoilers, Li Qian is not stingy, and said a lot.
At last.
"Director Li, this is director Su Lun's second film, do you think it can surpass the box office record of romance films created by "Living Together in Time and Space", or can it refresh the box office record of the movie you supervised?"
What the hell, and the box office record of the movie I produced?
There are too many of these kinds of ghost records.
"I didn't oversee the production of "Warm Inside the Light", "I Am Legend" is a big production, and I don't have much time to do anything else. Li Qian shook his head, explained his joy, and said with a smile, "Box office, I am very confident in Su Lun, this movie will be more exciting than "Living Together in Time and Space", and it will also be the best love movie since the new century, this will be a classic." ”
didn't say the numbers, but in Li Qian's mouth, it is better, more exciting, and more classic than "Living Together in Time and Space", with this comparison, fools can see that Li Qian means that the box office will be higher.
"Living Together in Time and Space" is 180 million, which is at least 200 million.
Moreover, the meaning of this sentence is that "Warm and Warm with Light" is more than a little better than "Living Together in Time and Space"?
These words were published in the news as they were, and they were all polished and processed.
Li Qian's praise of a movie made the audience more and more curious.
"Is this really what Li Qian said? "Living Together in Time and Space" is already one of the best romance films in the past ten years, why is this "Warm and Containing Light" not even one of them, it is directly the best?"
"Blow it, which movie doesn't brag before it is released, this kind of talk is almost discounted. ”
Li Qian doesn't seem to have bragged about anything, when "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was released, he said that the box office would reach 200 million, it's not that some people don't believe that action movies can sell 200 million, it's not over. ”
"I believe in the box office, if you can make "Living Together in Time and Space", Su Lun's new film will definitely be no worse, but the quality can surpass "Living Together in Time and Space", I don't believe it. ”
"Well, I'm a little entangled now, I originally saw Yaya's appearance in the movie, three or four colors of hairstyle are messy, and the makeup is not exquisite, I'm going to wait and see, listen to Li Qian say this, let's go on the 11th. ”
"Me too, I even have a green hairstyle, it's just dissuaded, it was enough to go to the cinema alone on Singles' Day to watch a group of couples, and the whole green hairstyle. ”
"The ticket has been bought, the six single dogs in the dormitory go to see Yaya together, there is no girlfriend in reality, it's good to see the girlfriend in the movie, every time you watch a romance movie, you automatically bring in the male protagonist. ”
"The best romance movie in the new century? He Li Qian dared to say that I would dare to watch it, and I went to the cinema on the 11th to be abused!"
"Abuse dogs, abuse dogs, be sprinkled with dog food every day, go to the cinema to see the goddess, and comfort the lonely heart. ”
"Make a bold guess, Li Qian said that the girls with different colors and hairstyles are in different times, is the plot that Deng Chao traveled several times and saw the girls in various time periods before? Otherwise, how can there be a few scenes in the trailer where Yaya and Deng Chao get along differently, some are very gentle, and some seem to be a little irritable. ”
"Makes sense, but it's certainly not!"
"Don't guess, did you guess right once, save some brains to go to the movies. ”
......
There are still two days to be released, and the already very popular movie, Li Qian helped promote it, and the popularity is even better.
However, many in the industry scoffed.
"It's a mystery. ”
Even if the film is not released, various companies have been paying attention to Li Qian.
This Li Qian, hasn't he learned to brag now, and he is no different from them!
Time passed minute by minute, and soon came to the afternoon of November 10th, the day before the movie was released, the premiere of "Warm and Warm Light" was officially held in Beijing.
It is difficult to come out and move around, Li Qian also came early, and arrived at the screening hall at half past five.
There are still a lot of people, in addition to Wu Jing going to the Jinling Military Region for retreat, Xu Zheng and Guo Fan are here, and many actors are also here, all of whom have cooperated.
"Director Li. ”
"Boss. ”
As soon as he came, Guo Fan asked, "Boss, why are you talking big in front of the media this time, this is not like you." ”
"What the hell?" Li Qian was a little surprised, "What a big deal, I'm an honest person, I only tell the truth." ”
The corners of Guo Fan's mouth twitched, "You said that "Warm and Warm with Light" will be the best romance film since the new century." ”
"Haven't you ever watched a movie, and you don't have any appreciation at all?" Li Qian asked rhetorically.
"I think "Warm Within" is similar to "Living Together in Time and Space", but there are a lot fewer laughs in comparison, and in terms of sci-fi elements of the two, "Nuan Nuan with Light" is a bit brain-consuming, and "Living Together in Time and Space" is a little more interesting. Guo Fan said seriously.
Li Qian suddenly asked, "You're still single, right?"
"What?"
Guo Fan didn't react for a moment, what does this have to do with whether he is single or not.
"You're a 10,000-year-old single dog, and you're still here to evaluate romance movies. ”
“...”
What's wrong with single dogs, discriminating against single dogs? Single dogs are not guilty!
A single dog doesn't even have the qualifications to evaluate romance films?
Guo Fan opened his mouth and didn't speak, but his resentful eyes were silently protesting.
"Ahem..."
Xu Zheng next to him wanted to laugh, but he was a little embarrassed, so he could only cough twice.
"That's right, jokes and jokes, "Warm and Containing Light" is indeed not as good as "Living Together in Time and Space", but don't forget what the essence of romance is, what brain holes and jokes are the icing on the cake, it is embellishment, and the core is love. ”
Li Qian shook his head, "The selling point of "Warm and Warm Light" is not to clear the memory, but the two relationships between the hero and heroine, whether it is the one that they re-acquainted with later, or the first paragraph that the male protagonist recalls in the long river of memory, it can resonate with people, this love is more real, more delicate, more moving, and easier to immerse itself in than "Living Together in Time and Space".
This kind of emotional resonance is the most difficult thing for romance films and every genre to do, even if there are not many jokes, it will not affect the blockbuster, and it is more useful to move the audience than any jokes. ”
After speaking, Li Qian patted Guo Fan's arm and said jokingly, "Lao Guo, there are so many beautiful girls, find someone who is pleasing to the eye, chatty, and fall in love, how boring it is to be alone." ”
After speaking, Li Qian didn't bother with him, but went to Liu Yufei and Master Liu's pile, chatting with beautiful girls, which was much more interesting than chatting with big men.
Although I am not familiar with it, I have met four times, one audition, one on the set, and two premieres, but I am not afraid of no topic, just talk nonsense, and I don't need Li Qian to find a topic.
