Chapter 651: Reluctance

June 2nd.

The crew of "Detective Chinatown" held a simple start-up press conference in Shaojing.

Because of the presence of Lin Xiaoguang and Huang Baoqiang at this press conference, at the beginning, everyone thought that Lin Xiaoguang might be a movie that followed the embarrassment series.

But at this time, Lin Xiaoguang suddenly launched the press conference of the movie "Detective Chinatown", which not only stunned the media, but also puzzled netizens.

"Director Lin, ??? Thailand, actually went to Thailand to shoot again??"

"I just can't figure it out, why do we have to go to Thailand when we can shoot movies in China?"

"Think about the "Thai Embarrassment" before Xinghuo Film and Television, which promoted the travel fever in Thailand, but this time "Detective Chinatown" is here again. ”

"I'm afraid Lin Xiaoguang isn't a traitor, right? Wouldn't he really be a Thai? How long has it been since "Thai Embarrassment"?

"Produced by light and shadow, it must be a high-quality product, I think that as long as it is filmed by Director Lin, no matter where it is filmed, the box office of this movie should be no problem. ”

“……”

is also accustomed to the box office success of the light and shadow company again and again, and at the same time, they feel that watching the configuration of "Detective Chinatown", they feel that this movie should not be too popular.

On the one hand, this is based on the trust in light, shadow and film, after all, in a few years, light, shadow and film have made their own reputation, and on the other hand, it is the cast of "Detective Chinatown".

Huang Bao's imposition of Liu Haoran's configuration gave everyone a lot of room for imagination.

Except for these two people, the other actors have not been announced to the public for the time being.

After Huang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran finished speaking on the stage, everyone pointed the microphone at Lin Xiaoguang and began to ask questions.

Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, Lin Xiaoguang knows this very well, so when facing reporters, Lin Xiaoguang's attitude is always very good, and when answering questions, he tries to show patience and sincerity as much as possible.

What's more, Lin Xiaoguang still saw the scene of Wen Zhang's derailment some time ago and was dissed by reporters on the whole network, and it is impossible for him to make such a mistake again.

Reporter: "Director Lin, hello, everyone knows that "People in Embarrassment" and "Thai Embarrassment" are movie IPs created by you.

Are you planning to use Detective Chinatown as another IP you've created?"

Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "Yes, there is this idea, but it is difficult, it is really difficult, we hope it can be established." ”

Reporter: "Hello Director Lin, many viewers want you to continue to make embarrassing series of movies, why haven't there been any new actions in the past two years?"

Lin Xiaoguang said calmly: "It's actually very simple, because there is no good script, so I'd rather not shoot." ”

Reporter: "Is it true that you plan to shoot "Russian Embarrassment" or "Indian Embarrassment" on the Internet?"

Lin Xiaoguang didn't think about it, so he denied it: "It's fake." ”

Reporter: "Lin Dong, many netizens are very confused about your move to Thailand to shoot "Detective Chinatown" this time, some netizens think that you are not patriotic, so you did not set up the filming location in our country, what do you think of netizens talking like this?"

Lin Xiaoguang said angrily: "I think some people just have nothing to do when they are full, I have already made it very clear, I am making a movie about Chinatown this time, don't you understand what Chinatown means? and asked me why I didn't shoot in our country, it's really funny." ”

"As for why I chose Thailand, because Thailand is a very inclusive country, and many themes that we can't shoot in China can be filmed in Thailand. ”

Reporter: "Hello Director Lin, because I saw today's film press conference, you invited Baoqiang, which gives people the feeling that it is a comedy, but listening to your introduction just now, this is a reasoning film with a strong flavor of nature, and it is under box office pressure, so guide the audience in the direction of comedy first?"

Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while and said calmly: "I can't say that there is no pressure, to be honest, now is an era of box office theory." ”

"As a creator, from the very beginning, I told others that my original intention was to graft and combine two things, and everyone felt that it was impossible. ”

"From the perspective of the market, it's not that the market needs comedy, but that the audience needs laughter, and everyone wants to go to the cinema to relax, don't use so many brains, they are willing to choose comedy, so whatever is named comedy, it will be easy to get box office success.

But if it's just an ordinary comedy, there's no point. ”

Reporter: "Director Lin, do you think that if the publicity direction says that this movie is reasoning and suspense, the box office will be less than now?"

Lin Xiaoguang: "There will be a cap, I estimate that it will not exceed 500 million, the brain-burning reasoning you are talking about may be our company's previous "Hypnosis Master", this movie has done very well, but the box office is only about 300 million." ”

"There's no way, all genre films have their own box office ceilings, just like romance films rarely exceed 500 million, which is a truth. And I hope everyone thinks that this is a comedy, its tone is comedy, and only the suspense is buried at the end, which is the biggest feature that distinguishes it from ordinary comedies. ”

“……”

After all, they are prostitutes, some of them ask questions, and they still like to dig holes for artists, but Lin Xiaoguang is also an old man, and he basically answered very decently, and he did not make mistakes of principle.

Even so, Lin Xiaoguang's answer still caused heated discussions on the Internet.

"Those miscellaneous pieces that indiscriminately button people's hats, you can open your eyes and see clearly! Do you know why Director Lin didn't shoot in China? Because in China, many storylines can't pass the trial, and there is no way to shoot them at all!"

"Now the movie review is really strict, I remember when I was a child, I went to the cinema with my classmates to watch "Titanic", my friends and I were stunned, the heroine actually wore no clothes, and it could be released......"

"Yes, yes, I watched pirated CDs back then, and I watched the part where the heroine didn't wear clothes many times. ”

"Actually, now not only the film review is strict, but the review of many things is very strict, but there is no standard to follow, and it is ...... to be sealed."

"Shh......h Don't talk about it, you have to check the water meter!"

"Listen to Director Lin's meaning, this time it seems to be a mystery and suspense movie!"

"It should be, Director Lin himself said that it's not interesting to do simple comedy. ”

“………”

Because he was about to go to Thailand, after the film press conference, Lin Xiaoguang made an appointment with Zuo Xiaoqing and came to the light and shadow company to meet.

It's not a long time, it's only an hour, but Lin Xiaoguang and Zuo Xiaoqing haven't seen each other for a while, and they are a little reluctant to see each other this time.
