690 Little Fresh Release
69o small fresh release
Recommended song: bsp; Although there are doubts about Lee Joon-yi as the leading role, Warner Bros. still shows great confidence in Christopher Nolan and the film, and the upfront budget of 160 million also allows Christopher Nolan to prepare for the film with free hands.
And after these news were announced, the media's reactions were varied, of course, there were more surprises, and Lee Joon-yi's role as the leading actor still felt a little incredible. Interestingly, some media now have an upfront budget of $160 million, which is actually the most expensive film shot by Lee Joon-yi since his debut. After the news spread, the media exclaimed that Lee Joon-yi, the king of small costs, was finally going to take the lead and star in a big-budget movie invested by Warner Bros. and directed by Christopher Nolan.
Although Lee Joon-yi has been starring in small-budget movies, it seems that "Twilight" and "The Hangover" have been very successful, so whether Lee Joon-yi still has such box office appeal and can still succeed in large-budget movies is also one of the focuses of everyone's attention.
Aside from the "iin" (Inception), which is still in the preparatory stage, Lee Joon-yi completed another small-budget production at the end of last year, "500 Days with Shamo", and it will be officially released. The release of this movie also made a timely annotation for Christopher Nolan's choice, and also made the media suddenly realize: Why did Christopher Nolan have the idea of letting Lee Joon-yi be the male lead in his movie after watching this movie at the Sundance Film Festival.
Speaking of which, the release time of "500 Days with Shamo" is very close to "The Hangover", and the fifth week of the release of "The Hangover" is still in the fifth place on the North American box office charts, and the "Hangover" craze remains high. With the high popularity of "The Hangover", it can be regarded as a free promotion for "500 Days with Shamo".
Since "500 Days with Shamo" is a ** movie, it is very difficult to release it in theaters. Generally speaking, ** films will first be exhibited through film festivals, and then find buyers and produce and screen. In other words, the film festival is not just a simple award ceremony, the final award ceremony of the film festival is only a part of it, the final results of the exhibition. The daily screening before the film festival is a process of film test screening, seeking audience feedback, and gaining word of mouth. For ** films, it is their biggest purpose to get the audience's affirmation, achieve a good reputation, and find a producer in the screening week before the film festival. The "Slumdog Millionaire", which won the grand prize at the Academy Awards this year, found a producer through this model, and after its release in the United States, got the opportunity to compete for the Academy Awards. The same goes for "Five Hundred Days with Shamo."
The most famous film festivals in the world are the Venice Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival, which are known as the three major film festivals in Europe, and the titles of best actor and actress at the same time are also known as the "Grand Slam". Of course, the review criteria and trends of the three film festivals are very different, so it is almost impossible to pass a film and win this grand slam. In other words, it is necessary to have three excellent films that can win the title of actor and actress, and they have entered the eyes of these three film festivals respectively and meet the review standards of these three film festivals to have a chance to win the "Grand Slam", which is more difficult than the Oscars.
However, "500 Days with Sammo" is only a small-budget production, and Mark Webb does not have the funds to go to Europe to participate in these three major film festivals, so he can only participate in the world's leading film festival - Sundance International Film Festival, in the United States. The Sundance International Film Festival is dedicated to the best filmmakers, encouraging low-budget, first-class films that show a very different interest from Hollywood films. It is in line with the situation of "500 days with Shamo".
A few months ago, Mark Webb personally took the film to the Sundance International Film Festival, but unfortunately, at that time, Lee Joon-yi was filming "My Love is by My Side" in South Korea, and Blake Lively was filming "Gossip Girl" in New York, which was a big regret for the movie. But fortunately, the filmmakers don't care much about these either.
"500 Days with Sammo" was well received at the Sundance International Film Festival, not only by Christopher Nolan, but also by the company, which bought the rights to the film at the festival. After the film festival, the screening began to be planned.
Fox Searchlight Company is a signboard company under the Fox Enterprise, responsible for film investment and marketing, in recent years, Fox Searchlight strives to play the quality of this signboard, committed to the quality of the film, I hope that others will see the logo of the Fox Searchlight Company in the future, it will be associated with good movies, at present, it has achieved great results. "Slumdog Millionaire" was Fox Searchlight's most successful work last year.
Unlike Warner Bros. who ignored the "hangover" before, Fox Searchlight has high hopes for "Five Hundred Days with Shamo", not to mention the box office for the time being, after all, it is still unrealistic for the movie to say anything about the box office of more than 100 million, Fox Searchlight hopes that this movie can have an excellent reputation among the audience, and that is enough. Therefore, when Fox Searchlight was planning the promotion, from the selection of posters to the production of trailers, it paid great attention to the opinions of the audience. If you add to the fact that Mark Webb would discuss the plot with the audience when he was shooting the movie, then this movie can indeed be said to be a movie made by the film's creators and the audience.
"Five Hundred Days with Sha Mo" is Lee Joon-yi's third film released in North America, compared with the madness of "Twilight" and the coldness of "Hangover", the screening of "Five Hundred Days with Sha Mo" is impartial, and it cannot be said that it is lively or cold. Although "500 Days with Shamo" is a small and fresh love story, the combination of Lee Joon-yi and Blake Lively still has enough appeal, and the media is chasing after the scandals of the two during the filming of the movie, and now that the movie is released, of course, this good opportunity cannot be missed. And the number of audiences who came to the scene was also quite large, at least more than when "The Hangover" was screened.
However, "500 Days with Shamo" is also a small-budget ** movie, and the screening did not make any gimmicks such as the red carpet, but just conducted a simple interview in front of the movie promotion board, and went directly to the cinema to prepare to watch the movie.
Lee Joon-yi and Blake Lively have met for a long time, to be precise, this should be the first meeting between the two after the completion of "500 Days with Shamo", and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
Recently, Lee Joon-yi has been riddled with news, both positive and negative news - the love triangle with the two Taylors is even negative news, Blake Lively ridiculed as soon as they met, but before he said a word, Lee Joon-yi stretched out his index finger and shook it, "No, no, No, Blake, the news between you and Payne is the focus of my attention recently, you must not let me kill too." ”
Lee's words made Blake Lively laugh. Payne Bedgray is the actor of Dan in "Gossip Girl", Dan and Blake Lively's Selina are lingering in the first season of the show, and the roles of the two people also sparked a spark in real life and officially confirmed their relationship. Recently, Blake Lively and Payne Bedgray have been in discord news, but in fact, it is normal, even if the couple in the spotlight is just fighting with each other, it will be amplified by the media and interpreted as a terrible incident of the sky falling apart.
Therefore, what Li Zhunyi means when he says this is that the two of them are half-pounded and eighty-taels, and there is a lot of news on them, so it is better not to fight infighting.
After Blake Lively laughed, he raised his hands to make a surrender gesture, "I think I'd better admit defeat, you know, 'Lord Zhun Yi' is now popular all over the world, and the little woman can't resist it......" After speaking, he also showed a scared look, which made Li Zhun Yi really cry and laugh. Now in the United States, the names of "Lord Zhun Yi" and N. have gradually spread, and many people have begun to call Li Zhun Yi so.
After the joke ended, the two of them continued to talk as they walked towards the movie theater. "I heard that you're going to star in director Nolan's new work, and this is a great opportunity. Although the news has not yet spread in the media, many people in the circle already know about it, including Blake Lively, "and there are some rumors that you defeated DiCaprio to win the role." ”
The entertainment industry is really capable, there are almost no secrets, of course, the entertainment industry's ability to amplify and exaggerate rumors and scandals is also unique. Even his friend Blake Lively would have thought the same thing, let alone someone else. However, Lee Joon-yi didn't care, shrugged, "The first half is a fact, I'm basically sure that I will star in director Nolan's new work, but the second half, it's a little different, I'm Nolan's first choice." ”
For Blake Lively, Li Zhunyi has no need to deliberately keep it secret, since everything is rumored in the circle now, it is estimated that the news that he is the first choice will spread soon, so he will say it directly. This news is obviously more shocking than Lee Joon-yi's victory over Leonardo DiCaprio to win the role.
Blake Lively's red lips were slightly open, and she was indeed surprised by this fact, but she quickly recovered and focused on the first half, "This should be your fifth work since 'Twilight', right? ”
Li Zhunyi shook his head, "The premise is that the works can be recognized, otherwise there are so many shooting works, and you will become the king of bad movies, and the result is that no script will come to the door again in the future." Li Zhunyi's thinking is very clear, if it weren't for Christopher Nolan's script this time is really attractive, he will never take on new dramas. On this point, Li Zhunyi, Fred Pyle, and Lin Xiyuan all have a consensus.
The two walked into the cinema with a smile and a smile, because there was no official screening, so there were no complicated links such as interviews before the movie, but the entire film production crew came to the stage to salute the audience, and the movie began to play.
