Chapter 203: Exclusive Plug-ins
For Li Mo, it was much easier to leave Liu Yifei alone outside the theater to face the young reporter than to let him nest in the nanny car to do psychological construction for his first red carpet.
Anyway, in his opinion, with Liu Yifei's status, the reporter wouldn't really ask any very embarrassing questions, and in the end it was nothing more than hello, hello, hello, everyone, today's weather and other nonsense......
Instead of standing on the side as a background board stupidly, it is better to enter the scene early to find a suitable and comfortable position and take a serious look at the movie "Tongquetai".
Movies, from their origins more than a hundred years ago to the present, are basically nothing new in all kinds of plots, methods, and narrative techniques, but there are always people who can hold the same elements and toss a good film that most people like......
Of course, more of them use the same raw materials, but toss out a pile of garbage.
Li Mo doesn't care whether what he is about to see is garbage or boutique, for him, if it is rubbish, he will avoid the mistakes it has made, and if it is boutique, he will learn its strengths.
Even if you can only find the slightest merit in the end, it is not a trip for a director in vain.
Although Li Mo can only be regarded as coming in on the red carpet today, today's premiere is also organized by Fiber Optic Media, and Molong Media, as a partner of the company, is not too difficult to arrange a not too remote location for Li Mo.
However, Li Mo has a habit of watching movies, and he doesn't like to sit in the front or center, so among the many choices provided by Fiber Optic Media, he chose a corner on the right side of the seventh row.
Most of the people who can enter today's premiere are related to this movie, or they are insiders who were invited to cheer for this movie.
Although there is already a blockbuster movie on the report card, in the eyes of most people in the circle, Li Mo can only be regarded as a small character.
Although Li Mo was unhappy in his heart, it was undeniable that at this premiere venue, there were not many people who could recognize him......
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the red carpet outside was almost over, and the people in the screening room gradually increased.
I thought that the relevant interview content had already been said outside, but who knew that after everyone was seated, there would be a round of on-site interviews with the main creators of the movie.
It was not until this time that Li Mo knew that the middle-aged man named Zhao Linshan sitting on the stage was actually the director of the movie "Tongquetai......
Listening to the personal qualifications introduced by the host, this guy actually graduated from the directing department of the Imperial Capital Film Academy in 2009......
Just over 2 years after graduation, he can direct a movie with an investment of 130 million, and the actors he cooperates with are Chow Yun-fat and Liu Yifei......
Anyway, this guy shouldn't be crossing over?
"Director Zhao, this is your first time directing a feature film, what is your original intention?"
"That's right, in 09, the tomb of Cao Cao in Anyang Gaoling was confirmed by archaeological experts, and I was very interested at that time. When the tomb of such an important historical figure is presented to us, there are so many doubts that cannot be solved. I researched with a few good friends and prepared to shoot a film specifically about Cao Cao's tomb. ”
In the face of the host's question, Director Zhao Linshan had no stage fright, picked up the microphone and talked eloquently, "Our film has gone through three screenwriters, the first draft was written by Zhou Zhiyong, the screenwriter of "Crazy Stone", the second draft was completed by Zhang Yimou's royal screenwriter Wang Bin, and the last draft was also completed by a big-name screenwriter in the industry. The three screenwriters were particularly interested in the idea, and they racked their brains on the material before finally focusing on the skeleton of a young woman in Cao Cao's tomb. ”
Anyway, Director Zhao, do you really think the screenwriter you are looking for is right?
"Crazy Stone" does win with a script, but it is a black comedy, do you think it is reliable for you to write about the historical theme of ancient costumes?
Besides, Zhang Yimou, his works have never been good at scripts, do you know this?
As for the last big-name screenwriter in the industry, 'Anonymous'......
Are you sure you're not here to be funny?
When Li Mo was complaining frantically in his heart, the host on the stage continued to ask questions.
"So can you reveal what the movie "Tongquetai" is mainly about?"
Hearing this, Li Mo felt that the host that Fiber Optic Media was looking for today was not very good at speaking......
It's all premieres, and the movies are almost showing, so is it interesting to ask now?
Don't you know everything after watching the movie?
"Uh," although the host asked not professionally enough, Director Zhao really responded honestly, ""Tongquetai" is a costume film in the pure sense, neither mythological nor crossed, mainly describing the story of the elderly Cao Cao in terms of strategy, military, love and his poetry. ”
…… Well, when you say that, I don't think this movie is a hodgepodge.
"Thank you Director Zhao for sharing, and then I want to ask Yifei, in the process of filming the movie "Tongquetai", did you have any unforgettable experiences?"
probably felt that the director's popularity was worrisome, and it was difficult to squeeze oil and water out of him, so the host's voice changed and threw the problem to the biggest actor on the stage-Liu Yifei.
It was only at this time that Li Mo discovered that among the main creators sitting on the stage, there was no figure of Chow Yun-fat.
"If you want to say the most memorable thing, it is probably the first time I played against Fa Ge......
In fact, when it comes to the routine of the premiere, until 2018 before Li Mo crossed, there has been no major change, and the main creators are always invited to share the difficulties in front of and behind the scenes, which brings the audience a feeling of 'film shooting is not easy, and the main creators have gone through hardships'......
It's a pity that even though the total box office of movies in the Celestial Empire is constantly rising, there are still many film works that stage three-day box office tours or even one-day tours every year.
…………
At half past seven in the evening, the movie finally began.
At the beginning, there are the names of several producers, Wang Changtian is impressively listed, yes, optical fiber investment, without his name, it is abnormal.
Next up are the actors.
The first name is Chow Yun-fat, which is very reasonable.
Sister Fairy ranks second, which is basically in line with her status.
Styling director, Xi Zhongwen?
It is estimated that the costume is not too bad, but this person who won the Oscar for costume design nomination with "The City is Full of Golden Armor".
At the beginning of the official plot, it is a shot of a snowy pursuit.
Even if there are only a few dozen rides, the murderous aura from the battlefield fighting experience is still coming, at least this shot is still good.
Read on, WTF?
It's been 20 minutes since the opening, and the main content is actually all about the environment and narration.
The time environment, the weather environment, the geographical environment, the political environment, all of these are used to set off Cao Cao's appearance. But what about the actual effect......
Anyway, Li Mo was bored for a long time, and he didn't react until Cao Cao appeared.
It turned out that the things in front of him were all paving the way for Cao Cao.
As for the narration, that thing has simply become Director Zhao Linshan's exclusive plug-in......
Whenever you want to explain the background of the story, the narration is on;
Whenever you want to explain your inner emotions, the narration is on;
In other words, Director Zhao Linshan, how did you graduate from the Imperial Capital Film Academy?
