Audiences who like suspense movies are described by more popular words, that is, hardcore fans among movie lovers, they like to burn their brains, like twists and turns and bizarre plots, and usually watch movies twice or three times for a movie they like, just to understand every detail in the movie.

But it's a pity that since the beginning of 2000, there have been few suspense masterpieces in domestic films, and "Double Food" released last year is barely one, and then there is director Zhang Fanxi's adaptation of RB science fiction writer, Kobayashi Taizo's novella "Drunken Step Man" The short film "Turbulence" and its side story "Voice".

In addition, there are basically no suspense movies worth watching, which has to be said to be a pity, but now this regret has been made up by Li Xiang.

"The Invisible Guest" is actually just a passing work for fans who have been immersed in suspense movies for a long time, but you can't stand the foil of your peers, look at the opponents in the same period, except for "Crazy Racing", none of them can play.

In addition, during the Chinese New Year, most of the people who can enter the cinema are young people, and most of these people are Li Xiang's movie fans, so it is reasonable that "The Invisible Guest" can get good results.

After the box office broke through the 30 million mark on the first day, it went one step further the next day and got a good result of 32.01 million, setting a new record for only one day.

Unless tomorrow, theaters across the country collectively cut off the guests' schedules, there is no doubt that it will become the fastest movie in China to break 100 million.

The media is concerned about the box office and news points of the movie, while the people are more interested in the movie itself.

In less than three days, Doubanwang received 100,000+ votes, of which 53% of netizens voted for five-star praise, 45% of four-star praise, and only 2% of three-star and below, with a total score of 9 points!

Although this score will definitely drop in the future, it will at least remain above 8.5 points, which is really a rather scary score for a commercial film.

Look at who is in front of it in Chinese movies? "Alive" by the National Teacher, "The Devil is Coming" by Jiang Wen, "Furong Town" by Xie Jin, "Farewell My Concubine" by Chen Kaige, "Eating Men and Women" by Li An, and "Journey to the West" by Zhou Xingxing!

These are all recognized classics, Li Xiang almost touched the ceiling of Chinese films in his fourth feature film, and the funniest thing is that the media ridiculed him for his short filming time, which may be shoddy.

Now in the face of a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, those clamoring media have also shut their mouths.

The article of "New Capital Daily" did not cause waves, Optical Fiber and Li Xiang got in touch with Xiaogang Cannon at the first time, and the two sides knew each other's thoughts at the first time, and a potential turmoil was invisible.

I have to say that Da Lao Wang, a person who was born as a reporter, has a keen sense of news smell, if he hadn't discovered this sign early, maybe Li wanted to have some friction with Xiaogang Cannon, for Huayi and optical fiber, in the stall where there is no direct competition with the work, it is actually meaningless.

Strictly speaking, Xiaogang Cannon should belong to the fifth generation of directors, but unlike the elite perspectives of academics such as Brother Kai, National Teacher, and Huo Jianqi, his works are more down-to-earth, and you can rarely hear what awards he has won internationally. (If the Cairo Film Festival is also a big film festival, then I didn't say it)

His personal history of struggle is completely different from those academic directors, from the very beginning he has been fighting in the fierce market, and he can only survive by shooting stories that the audience likes, so Xiaogang Cannon has always been a commercial film director who is very good at grasping the pulse of the market.

But he actually doesn't think so, which can be seen from his ability to shoot "Assembly Number", "Tangshan Earthquake", "1942", and "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", and he still hopes to complete a self-breakthrough in the cracks.

Li Xiang especially likes Xiao Gangcang, because you can feel from his works that he is a person with a very soft heart, don't look at him as an old gun, he is afraid of this and that, but the director speaks by his works after all, you can feel hope and warmth from his works, and that's enough! Shouldn't movies be such art?

I remember that when Short Tight interviewed Xiao Gangcang, Xiao Gangcang once said something like this: "I know that the movie is a little too sweet for a completely happy ending, but it has completely become that kind of no way out, everyone looks at Bei'er block, this is indeed against my nature." ”

So as long as you don't deliberately compete with him, he generally rarely takes the initiative to fire, Chinese movies need this 'wild child' too much!

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, on Mango Channel, Li Xiang took the guest crew to be a guest at "Happy Camp".

Mango and Li Xiang are old acquaintances, from movie promotion to cooperating to create a weekly drama, the two parties have always maintained a good relationship, so Mango is also very generous to Li Xiang and his party, and there will definitely be nothing that happened to Han Geng.

The recording of the base camp ended smoothly, and Li Xiang found Mr. He alone.

"Think about it, what's the itinerary for a while? If not, bring Mimi and them to have a meal together!" "Mr. He's recognized good popularity is not formed all at once, it is based on his own little by little dedication, so that others can really feel it, just like now.

"Okay, Mr. He, but now there is something more important than eating, I want to discuss it with you!" Li Xiang and Lao Liu discussed the entire structure of the big coffee show in the capital, and now is the time to come to the main owner to confirm whether it can be done.

At this point in time, there should be no challengers to the position of Brother Mango He, and Brother Han's "Everyday Upward" has only been broadcast for less than half a year, and the gap with Teacher He is still quite obvious, so if this idea can be recognized by Teacher He, then all the next problems are very easy to solve.

"What's the matter?" Teacher He was obviously interested, could it be that Li Xiang was going to find himself to make a movie? If Li Xiang could see what Teacher He was thinking, he would definitely complain about him wildly.

"I pondered a variety show, you can see if it can be successful, the name of this show I proposed is "Variety Show", the twelve episodes of the show are one season, the first ten episodes are the preliminary rounds, each episode of the show invites a number of celebrity guests, let them imitate other stars, and then decide the one that imitates the most like, become the current model king, enter the final finals, and the finals are divided into two phases to determine the final champion model king!"

Li Xiang told Mr. He about the general process of the big coffee show, which also borrowed from the variety show model that will be broadcast seasonally in the future.
