Chapter 627: Who's the Protagonist
The 2020 Chinese New Year stalls are still very depressed.
The fundamental reason for this lies in the fact that the creation of literary and film and television works should make readers feel novel, contrasting, and beyond imagination.
Once a certain subject matter is followed by a large number of people, it is quickly written or filmed badly, and there is no novelty at all, and the audience and readers are quickly lost.
And Chinese films have been lackluster in terms of subject matter over the years. The comedy, love, and youth genres have failed one after another, and various blockbusters and special effects have also seen aesthetic fatigue, and there is no initial sense of amazement, and the box office weakness has become expected.
"Chinese New Year blockbusters hit the streets one after another, where are Chinese movies heading?"
Looking at the news headlines on her phone, Yang Mi was a little irritable. But as the heroine of the upcoming "Three-Body Problem 2", she is actually envied by many actresses in the industry, the heroine of international blockbusters!
But she herself knows that in "Three-Body Problem 2", she is not a real heroine.
The incident originated from the internal viewing meeting held by Longlin Film Company a few days ago, and she was naturally present as the main creator. In a newly renovated VR auditorium, she sits in a swivel chair like everyone else, then enters a novel virtual reality world with an immersive VR headset.
In space, the sight of the solar system being two-dimensional by two-way foil is super shocking, and that shock goes beyond the vision and reaches the soul.
It is as if people in the feudal era saw planes in the sky, aircraft carriers entering the sea, and shells exploding.
But when she calmed down, she was surprised to find one thing, her role was not as much as Kang Ning, who played Ai AA. And the cut out version is to substitute the plot from Ai AA's perspective.
Who is the main character?
Yang Mi was angry, she walked up to Lu Lin as soon as possible, but her attitude softened, and she asked a little timidly, "That, Director Lu, why does my role seem to be missing!"
Then Lu Lin told her that it was not like, but really less.
Because in the later editing, after some discussion, the entire director team felt that it would be better to give the audience a better viewing experience by substituting Ai AA's perspective, after all, Cheng Xin is not very popular with readers!
Yang Mi heard this, not to mention how aggrieved she was. I hate to press the gold thread every year and make wedding clothes for others!
Of course, she knows that the role of Cheng Xin is not welcomed by readers, and if it weren't for the protagonist's sake, she might not have accepted this role. It's good now, the scenes are cut, the heroine becomes a supporting actress, and the supporting actress becomes a heroine, what's the matter?
Yang Mi didn't dare to have any objections to Lu Lin's decision, whether it was in terms of fame, capital or industry status, she couldn't compete with Lu Lin, at most she was angry at poor Kang Ning.
She remembered that now the owner of Long Linying is pushing this 95-year-old girl, Jing Yan's best friend, shouldn't it be calculated!
"You didn't really calculate it in advance, did you!"
Longlin Pictures Company, Jing Yan remembered the appearance of Yang Mi rushing away, and still had palpitations. She is not a strong person, and she is not good at tearing up with others, but more often she likes to be a melon-eating crowd.
Lu Lin smiled bitterly: "Of course not, am I so scheming?"
"Yes, who in the industry doesn't know that you, Director Lu Da, are the most calculating!" The young lady didn't say anything about saving face for her husband, and slapped her face on the spot.
Lu Lin smiled bitterly again, he really felt quite wronged.
He either intended to pit Yang Mi, or when he was in post-production and editing, he always felt that the effect was not quite right, and he looked at the wohuo.
Later, I remembered that it was the protagonist's problem.
The protagonist is stupid, and in the vast majority of films, television or literary works, the experience it brings to the audience and readers is disastrous.
The character of Cheng Xin is not stupid, he is even very smart, and the choices he makes are in line with the universal values of the time, but every time he pushes the fate of mankind to a deeper abyss, which is unpleasant.
Therefore, the substitution perspective cannot be placed on Cheng Xin. And the one who can be called throughout the plot is only Cheng Xin's best friend Ai AA, so this is actually a matter of no choice.
"At the end of the filming, in addition to the publicity, it has little to do with the actors, and as for how to cut it later, sometimes even the director has no right to ask. So, you don't have to take it too seriously!" Lu Lin persuaded.
Jing Yan has long been behind the scenes, taking over the management of Longlin Pictures little by little. is now responsible for domestic distribution, and is currently mainly in charge of the publicity activities of "Three-Body Problem 2".
"Okay, I'll call her back and explain!"
Leaving Lu Lin's office, Jing Xiang called Kang Ning first, and the latter was very affectionate, after all, she relied on Jing Xiang's relationship to enter Longlin Pictures and had the opportunity to star in "Three-Body Problem 2". Now that she has become the heroine, no matter how you talk about it, Jing Yan is her nobleman.
And Yang Mi's attitude was actually more enthusiastic, as if nothing had happened.
"It's okay, I know, for such an epoch-making blockbuster, Director Lu's considerations are all aspects, and I feel very lucky to be able to participate in it......" Yang Mi said with a smile.
She can't turn her face with Lu Lin yet, and she is even afraid of being fired by the media for a discordant relationship, and now she is getting older and her resources are decreasing. Coupled with the cold winter of film and television dramas, it is becoming more and more difficult to take over the drama, how dare you offend an industry giant like Long Lin?
Jing Yan on the other side of the phone was a little surprised, and immediately became happy: "That's great, I was worried that you would be unhappy before, but Lao Lu did a little too much, if I were you, I would also be emotional!"
Yang Mi said in her heart: "Standing and talking doesn't hurt my back, if I have a husband worth hundreds of billions, I don't care about anything except watching him!"
But he said: "I still expect this Lu Dao to appreciate a role, how dare I have an opinion!"
Jing Yan felt more and more guilty when he heard this, and lowered his voice and said: "In this way, I'll go back to the production center to see if there are any big productions, better roles, and compensate you!"
When Yang Mi heard this, she finally balanced herself and said with a smile: "It's still interesting for you!"
Jing Yan smiled stupidly and said, "Then it's decided, wait for me to ask the assistant to send you the itinerary of the roadshow, and from the middle of this month, the promotion of "Three-Body Problem 2" will be carried out!"
Yang Mi said: "Okay, but don't arrange me and Kang Ning together, save everyone from being awkward!"
Jing Yan smiled: "Don't worry, I know, you are two heroines, each with a team, and even the posters are on one side!"
When Yang Mi heard this, his heart was a little more balanced, and he said, "Okay then......!"
Starting from Sunday, January 10, 2021, the "Three-Body Problem 2" roadshow promotional activity for a little more than a month has officially begun.
In the first 20 days, large-scale publicity activities will be carried out, and small-scale screenings will be carried out from 10 days before the official release. The premiere is scheduled for February 4th, the day of the New Year!
