Chapter 581: I miss Lu Lin's Chinese film industry
said that from the beginning of 18 years to the beginning of July, Lu Lin had not appeared at film festivals or premieres for a long time.
Compared with the release of four special effects blockbusters in 17 years and several low-budget love movies, Longlin Pictures' output this year seems to be seriously insufficient.
Although Longlin Pictures also has "Daughter Country", because it is still in production in the later stage, the schedule is set for the National Day, which makes many viewers feel that there is no film to watch this year.
Especially since the Chinese New Year, in March, the only commercial blockbusters called "Black Panther" and "Pacific Rim: Thunder Rising" have been released.
said that this movie starred in another time and space, and in this world, because of Lu Lin's appearance. The young lady can't see such a script and investment lineup anymore, so she didn't participate.
But this film is as bad as another time and space, which proves that the pot should not be carried by Jing Yan. Or it can be proved that the young lady's acting skills are really dispensable!
And in April, there is still no decent film, not even the kind of audience that can enter the theater with a few more audiences, which can be described as miserable.
In May, India's blockbuster film "Baahubali 2: The End" landed in China, and it is said that this film is still selling very well around the world. But because some netizens have seen the gun version, or the publicity is not effective, or the Chinese people don't like to hang in India, in short, this film has not made any waves.
As for the other films, as in April, there are no films that can set off a mass movie-watching frenzy.
In June, the form of the domestic film market can refer to May, which is still in a downturn.
And in July, only Jiang Wen's "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" has attracted market attention.
As for "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which was supposed to shine in July, because it had been filmed early by Longlin Pictures and released in advance, it was naturally absent from this summer.
said that in another time and space, the reason why "I Am Not the God of Medicine" can achieve such impressive results is that the film itself is powerful on the one hand, and it is also a foil with peers.
In the half year after the Spring Festival, there has not been a decent film in the Chinese film market, and the audience also has a demand for watching movies!
So when I wasn't the god of medicine, even though the film was very sad. But because the content is good enough, it has still won the likes and recommendations of countless audiences, causing a huge movie-watching frenzy.
And in this time and space, this luck seems to have fallen on the head of "Evil Does Not Prevail" directed by Jiang Wen.
Director Jiang Wen is a smart person, so he can naturally see that today's film market needs a blockbuster, and he is also full of confidence.
Since "Let the Bullets Fly", he has been silent for a long time, and this time he will bring "Evil Does Not Prevail". All kinds of roadshows, all kinds of press conferences, all kinds of publicity, advertising, slogans.
"I think it's going to be good at the box office, but of course, that's not the point. The key is that this is a very burning film, which captures all my imagination!" Director Jiang Wen replied in an interview with reporters.
On July 10, the premiere of "Evil Does Not Prevail" was held in Gubei Water Town, Beijing, starring Peng Yuyan, Liao Fan, Zhou Yun, Xu Ma, Kenya Sawada, Andi and the main creator "Family" behind the scenes.
Jia Kechang, Wang Gongqi, Hong Jinbao, Ning Hao, Zhang Yibai, Ma Weidu, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, Xin Zhilei, Cui Yongyuan and many other friends in the film industry came to help.
This is a great director, with a deep foundation, even if he misses twice, there are still many people in the circle.
Like Wu Jing, who has a weak foundation, he often gets a premiere, celebrates or something, and is often deserted.
With such a lively scene, Jiang Wen naturally invited Lu Lin to attend. said that that night, Lu Lin brought Jing Yu, who came back from Paris, to the premiere venue together.
Walking on the red carpet, the media on both sides took crazy pictures. If you want to talk about today's domestic film market, Lu Lin is the most popular among directors and actors.
And when you enter the infield, you have to say hello to all kinds of stars.
"Section Chief Jia, what have you been busy with lately? Do you have any good books, we Longlin Pictures can invest!"
Jia Zhangke was stunned, the films he made have never made much money, and a commercial film director like Lu Lin is actually interested in his films, isn't he going to help the poor?
In fact, Lu Lin suddenly had this year, which was influenced by director Wang Jing. Don't look at this is a commercial film director, but he usually watches literary films. also invested 8 million in director Xu Yuhua to shoot "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai".
It must have been a loss, but Wang Whale said that he would still lose money, so he voted for it. Of course, I can't afford to lose too much money, but I think Xu Yuhua is such a good director, and it's a good book, it's a pity not to shoot.
In the past, Lu Lin's eyes were always on commercial films. But when his career develops to his level, he can't always limit his eyes to the development of his own company, but must stand at the height of Chinese films.
In terms of literary films, Chinese films are actually a bit backward, and all kinds of themes cannot be made. I can shoot it, but I haven't done it yet.
Lu Lin didn't have the heart to make literary films, but he still had the heart to pay some money and help out.
Chief Jia saw that Lu Lin didn't seem to be joking, and thought that this person's net worth at the moment, he really didn't care about some small money in literary movies. Busy said: "I really have a good book!"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Okay, then when this premiere is over, we will have time to talk in detail!"
Jia Kechang didn't realize that Lu Lin was fooling him, but there were too many celebrities here, and he refused to let him guard Lu Lin. Of course, there were also people who came to greet him.
"Director Lu, congratulations!" it was Ning Hao who spoke.
Lu Lin replied with a smile: "Director Ning, what happened to your alien or something?"
"Huang Bo, did your new play go well?"
"Brother Hong Jinbao!"
"Director Lu, congratulations!"
"Teacher Cui Yongyuan, how are you doing?"
"Not so good!"
……
A large group of people saw it, all kinds of greetings and greetings, you and I said one sentence at a time. If you are slower, you may not be able to figure out who told him what!
It took a while to take their seats, and the premiere began. It's still the same routine as before, and it's rare that at the premiere, Director Jiang Wen didn't say much.
It is estimated that I think there are a lot of people in the industry sitting below, and I will watch the film later. If this is a vigorous blow on stage, and when the film is watched, the audience will feel bad, then it will be a slap in the face on the spot.
The sharing process of the main creative team is very brief, and the ceremony will end in just ten minutes, and it will officially enter the viewing session.
The whole movie is 137 minutes, if you like it, you will probably feel very cool after watching it. But if you don't like it, you may feel tired.
Miss Jing Yan has just come back from Paris, and the jet lag has not yet returned, and when she looks at it, she will wake up and sleep for a while, which is called an unsteady.
