At the premiere scene, "Beijing Meets Seattle" began to be screened in the cinema.

The story is very simple, a somewhat hypocritical junior is pregnant, in order to avoid the wind, and to give the child a good hukou, in the name of tourism to Mi Lijian to give birth.

The one who received her was a middle-aged uncle, who corresponded to the heroine with a little temper, and the uncle was a literary fan.

The uncle was half an hour late, and the hypocritical junior humiliated him with mean language, but the uncle didn't dare to reply a word.

There is no way, she pays for it, and that's the benefit of money.

The combination of a single father, a literary uncle, and a hypocritical junior with low self-esteem in his heart made Teng Huatao a little interested.

This kind of combination, in fact, is not absent in China, but while the heroine has a big temper and is hypocritical, she is still a junior, which is rare.

But he was also a little interested, and after becoming a famous director, Teng Huatao found that his vision suddenly rose a lot higher and rose to another level.

I used to think some movies were very good, but now in his opinion, they are just like that, lackluster and decent.

After watching the movie "Beijing Meets Seattle", Teng Huatao's inner evaluation is just okay.

There is nothing intense in the plot, and the most intense scene is estimated to be Tong Liya and Hai Qing quarreling there.

The actor's performance on the change of character is what makes Teng Huatao the most eye-catching.

Needless to say, the heroine of "Waiting for the Wind" is literary and artistic, he also wanted to find Tong Liya at the beginning, as far as the drama is concerned, Tong Liya has no obvious limitations compared to other new-generation actresses, the drama is very wide, sweet, literary, royal sister, big grinning, irritable... All kinds of characters can be played.

From an anxious and vain rich lover to a down-to-earth, calm single mother, Teng Huatao looks at it from the perspective of a famous director, the two heroines before and after, not only the change of personality, but also the whole person is fully mature.

This kind of mature change is what makes him not deliberately remember the identity of Xiaosan on the way to watch the movie, and he will not dislike this identity.

A good romance film, Teng Huatao nodded inwardly, but that's all.

doesn't have much deep meaning and connotation, but through the hot topic of going to the United States to give birth, a plain love story is told, and the whole love story is not too touching.

After watching the premiere, a day later, the first-day box office was released.

43 million, a good online reputation.

This figure is somewhat unexpected by Teng Huatao, which has been at most two or three hundred million, and it looks like it can at least exceed five hundred million.

However, after thinking about it, there are no opponents in such a popular schedule as the National Day file in the same period, and the highest box office is only 17 million on the first day of "Special Identity".

It's no wonder.

The box office came out, Teng Huatao didn't care anymore, even if he got a box office of 500 million, he no longer cared about it, this year's love film box office champion, "Waiting for the Wind" was decided.

Get ready for a well-deserved break for the upcoming Singles' Day.

......

"Beijing Meets Seattle" was a big hit at the box office on the first day, and the audience on the Internet had a good reputation, especially on Weibo, and the evaluation was much higher than that of any platform.

However, Tong Liya was a little unhappy, and looked at some negative comments sullenly, "Scold the character, why did you bring me." ”

"This doesn't prove that you acted well, there's nothing to be angry about. Li Qian looked at the voices that scolded Wen Jiajia for his incorrect views, and comforted with a smile.

Although the movie was well received, there were still a lot of negative reviews, which was inevitable.

After all, the heroine is a junior, and she worships money, has a big temper, looks down on people, runs to Mi Lijian to give birth to a child, and after holding hands with the male protagonist, then the gold owner came, turned around and left.

Many viewers were scolding Wen Jiajia, and some viewers didn't know if they couldn't remember the character's name, so they directly used Tong Liya to mention Wen Jiajia.

It's normal for movies to be like this, except for some classic characters like Little Pony, most of the movie protagonists, people remember the names of the actors.

"I won't play this kind of role anymore. ”

Tong Liya was still a little unhappy, it was the first time she was scolded for her role, and she felt very unhappy.

However, thinking of the plot in "Rejuvenation", she was a little worried, "In "Rejuvenation", my character is still separated from the male protagonist and married to another man, as the heroine in a romance film, this will not make the audience plan, right?"

"What's this, the heroine in "Sleepless in Seattle" has a fiancé, and she didn't go to meet Tom Hanks, it is said that the three views are wrong, but it has become a classic, and the director's level is different, how can I make a heroine of a romance film that the audience doesn't like, don't worry. ”

Li Qian patted Tong Liya and coaxed for a while, "Okay, don't be angry, go to the roadshow, don't let Xue Xiaolu and them keep waiting." ”

Sending Tong Liya out, Li Qian returned home and turned on the computer.

There is actually nothing to watch in the movie, but the movement on the Internet is quite interesting and worth pondering.

In "Beijing Meets Seattle", the heroine's character design is undoubtedly incorrect, so even if the movie is well received, there are a lot of scolding in the comics, cliffs, forced calls, and post bars.

However, only on Weibo, many people are not disgusted with this kind of persona.

Li Qian flipped through Weibo for more than half an hour, read many people's speeches, as well as their previous Weibo, and found that they were basically women.

The activity is very high, they are often on Weibo, and there is a sense of feminism.

It's a very interesting phenomenon, so many online platforms, not counting some gender-obvious, such as Hupu sports forums are all male, and among all websites and platforms, Weibo has the most active women.

This makes sense, the heroine's character is made by Xue Xiaolu, a female director, but any normal male director will not arrange it like this.

Even if the persona is the same, the transformation process will be different.

Women and men have different ways of looking at and dealing with problems.

In addition, "Beijing Meets Seattle" is not much to see, for Li Qian, it is just another blockbuster movie of the company.

The National Day file as a whole is also relatively deserted, except for the 17 million on the first day of "Special Identity", only "Escape" broke 10 million on the first day, and the others are all cannon fodder.

These two movies are not very interesting, and even together, they are not as good as the things that the crew of "Special Identity" made before.

It was really a vigorous drama in the film industry, first a director ran out for a development conference, claiming that he was originally the director and screenwriter of "Special Identity", but was replaced by Donnie Yen.

Both of them have been in court several times.

Zhao Wenzhuo opened a press conference again, accusing Donnie Yen of acting as a bully, deleting his scene without authorization, and then the role was changed.

On the contrary, Donnie Yen also accused Zhao Wenzhuo of being a bully, saying that he wanted to live in the presidential suite.

There was even news that Donnie Yen's driver killed Zhao Wenzhuo's driver.

It's a good tear, and it almost became a black and astringent fire.

However, it seems that it was indeed Donnie Yen's driver who drove him an RV in the crew, and it was not Zhao Wenzhuo's driver who died, but another producer's driver.

This series of things add up to compare, just this box office, this movie plot, is not enough to watch.

It's not even as good as Shu Qi to support Donnie Yen for being picked up from the restricted movies he starred in before, revealing photos and videos at five o'clock, which caused the Su Bao incident and implicated Ma Xiaogang.

It stands to reason that these things that have caused a lot of uproar before, the movie is very popular, and the fame of Donnie Yen and Zhang Hanyu is here, and the box office will be even higher.

However, the full of bad reviews about Jingtian still discouraged the audience.

The plan to find two first-line actors to support Jingtian was a failure, and now the audience is very shrewd, and it is not so simple to cheat them out of their money.

In addition to these three movies, there is no other thing to watch in the National Day file.

The long vacation lasts for a total of seven days, and "Rejuvenation" is about to start on the 8th, Li Qian also seized the last rest time, and from time to time he was anxious for the actors to have a meeting, go to the digital field to have a look, and remotely control the situation of the exterior scenes in various places.

However, on the 3rd, Zhou Xingchi came to the capital again and talked to Li Qian about the idea of a sequel to "Truman's World" that he had mentioned when the movie was released.

Hearing that Zhou Xingchi had completed the outline and conception of the script, Li Qian's face was full of surprise, "Director Zhou, do you really want to make this sequel?"

Zhou Xingchi nodded, "Yes, I think Truman is a very peculiar person, he can be everyone, but everyone is not Truman, "Truman's World" is more like an absurd call, for Truman, this is only half of his life, it is incomplete, I want to make up for this character's life." ”

It stands to reason that famous directors, especially domestic famous directors, will not do any sequels, which is different from Hollywood's commercial directors.

The big directors in China have artistic pursuits, of course, to say that it is ugly is to be self-congratulatory, they generally don't make sequels, let alone make other people's sequels.

However, Zhou Xingchi said so, and Li Qian was also a little curious, what kind of second half of his life he wanted to give Trumen.

"Can I read the script?"

"Compared with the fairy tale of "Truman's World", the second half of my life was a tragedy. Zhou Xingchi handed over a folder to Li Qian and explained.

"I'll take a look first. ”

Li Qian took the folder with only one piece of paper and looked at it carefully,

In fact, when Zhou Xingchi had the idea of a sequel, Li Qian also roughly thought about the possible plot.

After Truman leaves the studio, he will inevitably become a big star, whether active or passive, this is inevitable.

Even if he doesn't want to, he's already a world-famous star, and everyone knows him.

This simple script outline is similar, using an interlude, at the beginning of the movie starring Truman was released and sold worldwide, and he held a fan meeting in the square.

Immediately after that, he began to talk about Truman leaving the studio, wanting to meet and be with his first love.

In the case of unwillingness, he was chased by everyone around him, capital, and TV stations to become an actor.

The fire is all over the world, film and television dramas, variety shows, singing, and TV stations all over the world can see him, just like in the studio.

It's just that in a different way, you don't have to be monitored 24 hours a day.

However, his first love left him and left this Truman, who had changed.

After that, various factors made Truman slip from the high position of a superstar and become a nine-line actor.

This kind of gap made Truman unacceptable, and in the end he returned to the studio that had been closed for 30 years.

However, when he stepped into the studio, he found that it had been abandoned for many years, and there was a dead silence inside.

To be honest, this script is a bit old-fashioned and a bit of a diaphragm.

Li Qian pondered for a while, put down the script, and made a summary, "So Director Zhou, it was Truman who became a big star in reality, fascinated himself in the scenery, and finally his first love left him, the audience abandoned him, and the capital abandoned him, and finally returned to a dead studio?"

"That's about it. Zhou Xingchi also saw that Li Qian was not too satisfied, so he explained, "Under the coercion of billions of viewers and countless billions of capital, it is normal for him to become a big star, and it is normal for the audience to abandon him later."

Because in the past 30 years, the live broadcast on TV was real and unpredictable, and his performance in reality, whether it was anything else, was a performance, any performance had a day when he was tired of watching, no star could be popular for a lifetime, abandoned by the audience, and naturally abandoned by capital, this gap made him want to return to the center of the world, that is, to return to the studio, which was also natural. ”

Li Qian nodded, these plots are very logical, live TV can be popular for thirty years, because it is a live broadcast, unpredictable, just like you peeping at a person for thirty years, half a life is so long.

But when you are a star, whether it is film and television dramas, variety shows or singing, there is a day when you are not popular.

However, this story is too sad, Li Qian shook his head, and asked, "Director Zhou wants to shoot like this, what is it for?"

"Why..."Zhou Xingchi pondered for a moment, and said with some embarrassment, "In order to show a complete life, everyone is Truman, and Truman is not everyone." ”

Li Qian was speechless, can't he talk well, it's like talking about philosophy.

Probably Li Qian also understands that life is like this, the same as Truman's experience.

Everyone has the pinnacle of life, and there are also the most tragic times, and there is nothing more heaven and hell than this.

Everyone has their own choice, whether they choose it or are forced by the environment.

"Since Director Zhou wants to shoot, I have no opinion. ”

Li Qian thought about it, but still didn't refuse, although the copyright was in his own hands.

Zhou Xingchi made a little Wenqing, let him go, the film "The King of New Comedy" must have been filmed by him, and this film is enough to see the changes of Zhou Xingchi in the future.

It's normal, famous directors are like this.

"However, I have a suggestion, and in the end, it was too sad and not handled well enough. Li Qian continued.

"Director Li, please say. Zhou Xingchi was a little surprised, Li Qian had a different plot arrangement in a short time.

However, when I thought that Li Qian was a well-known fast gunner, he made a movie, and Li Qian could make three or four, I couldn't help but sigh, it's really good to be young.

Li Qian organized his language and said his thoughts, "Actually, the general direction of the front can basically remain the same, and the final ending can be changed, Truman will do everything possible to enter the studio, please be embarrassed now, return to the past life, and be the darling of the world Truman."

However, when he stepped into the studio, he found that the studio, which had been abandoned for many years, had been restarted again and was starting a new 24-hour reality show, and this time the protagonist was another baby, and Truman could only play a small supporting role in this show. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xingchi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out, "Playing a supporting role in the world of another protagonist?"

"Almost, that's what it means, although it is also tragic, but compared to Director Zhou's ending that is too sad, the ending is miserable, but it is more absurd, more funny, and not so sad. Li Qian nodded.

This funny is not a happy laugh, but a ridiculous funny, heart-congested laugh.

"Definitely. ”

Zhou Xingchi sighed with emotion, the ending was almost the same, but compared to what he had spent a few months conceiving before, the ending that Li Qian came up with in the past few minutes was much more subtle.

Worthy of genius!

Rao is Zhou Xingchi, who claims to be a genius, and he has to admire Li Qian's genius brain, which is not at the same level at all.

Suddenly, he stared at Li Qian seriously and laughed at himself, "Everyone is the protagonist of their own world, but they may also be a supporting role in another person's world, maybe in Director Li's world, we, the so-called great directors, are also a supporting role." ”

“？？？？？？”

This inexplicable, pessimistic sentence made Li Qian have a question mark in his head.

Just now, he was just a little bit of a scholar, but now he has directly become a philosopher.

After Zhou Xingchi finished speaking, he also realized that something was wrong with this, and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry." ”
