Chapter 279: Life and Death Schedule
"Huh. Regarding Sister Li's questioning, Fang Siyi just smiled, did not delve too deeply, and just gave a sentence: "Just believe me." ”
Seeing Sister Li leave with worry but concern, Fang Siyi shook her head and smiled bitterly.
I can't tell Sister Li, what is the charm of "A Bite of the Tongue", right?
Although Fang Siyi condensed "A Bite of the Tongue", which was supposed to be broadcast in the first, second, and third seasons as a documentary mode, into a two-hour movie.
But in terms of excitement, Fang Siyi thinks that it is not inferior to the documentary version, and the most important thing is that Fang Siyi has relevant comments, in other words, he can avoid some small bugs in the original work as much as possible.
So in this case, how can it not be attractive?
As for the box office......
Fang Siyi didn't deliberately plan this, but for this movie, Fang Siyi conservatively estimated that it could reach at least 200 million!
And the cost of this movie is only 70 million, in other words, it can definitely protect the capital, as for how far it can go, it depends on what the final result will be.
But no matter what, it's good for Dream, so why care about what you don't have?
However, Fang Siyi is a little interested in the popular star in Sister Li's mouth.
Now that the fourth son has not returned, can anyone still be called a popular star?
Although he was curious, since he had refuted Sister Li's lobbying, Fang Siyi should have assumed that he didn't know.
Speaking of which, the full name of "A Bite of China" should be called "A Bite of China's Homesickness".
That's right.
It tells the story of Chinese people who are far away, miss China, and spread Chinese food culture around the world.
In other words, there are a variety of new Chinese cuisines that have been combined with local cuisines.
For example, sweet and sour pork in South Korea.
Although these foods cannot be regarded as authentic Chinese food, they also have a variety of special flavors.
Of course, Fang Siyi filmed two versions of this movie.
One version, which is all in English, is for foreigners, and it contains Chinese food from various countries.
The other version is for Chinese to see, which contains what Chinese dishes are abroad, and these dishes are transformed according to what dishes, and the theme is homesickness.
There are also some differences between the two versions.
In each version, there are two different dishes.
However, these two dishes are not superfluous, and both dishes have a little story.
And this story, at the same time, points to the theme.
It can be said that this shooting has made a great leap forward for Fang Siyi's directing and shooting skills.
This is a plan that has been conceived for a long time, and now it has finally been put on the screen.
Just when Fang Siyi was preparing to shoot "My Girlhood", "Homesickness on the Tip of the Tongue" was finally released.
This time, Fang Siyi's choice of release date was unexpectedly moved to February 9.
In other words, for this documentary, Fang Siyi moved it to the Spring Festival file.
However, who is there in the Spring Festival stalls in 2013?
There is a magical comedy blockbuster "Journey to the West" that increased the box office of the Spring Festival stalls in previous years by nearly nine times, and the final box office was as high as 1.246 billion!
Director Zhou Xingxing's own brand effect, coupled with the influence of the "Journey to the West" theme itself, was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the box office of the film on the first day was as high as 84.5 million!
In the 7 days of the Spring Festival, the film received 530 million yuan and more than 12.6 million viewers! After the film started on the first day, the audience responded enthusiastically, and the content about "Journey to the West" on Weibo alone reached more than 27 million!
With such amazing data, it stands to reason that Fang Siyi should avoid it and move the schedule.
Even Ying Bao didn't understand, did Fang Siyi and Xing Ye have any holiday?
Why don't you have to use your own documentary to face the movies of the hard steel star?
You must know that as Xing Ye has gradually gone behind the scenes in recent years, his movies have become a kind of vane in the entertainment industry.
In other words, as long as it's a star movie, it's worth watching!
At this point, even Fang Siyi himself thinks so.
But......
This kind of thing also depends on the comparison.
"Journey to the West" is indeed worth watching.
But......
But there is a hard wound.
That is the actor chosen by Xing Ye......
It's heraldry.
It's not that heraldry is bad, it's just that ......
Not long ago, Fang Siyi just got the news, and the other party has really stepped into the footsteps of his previous life.
Although this is a little inauthentic for the woman, and it does trick Xing Ye, Fang Siyi has no regrets.
After all, who let heraldic children's shoes die on their own?
Especially when this incident appeared in one of the few gossips in the circle in the dream, can you imagine how big this kind of news was at that time?
In particular, his wife was still in confinement at the time.
is not afraid of making his wife so angry that she falls to the root of the disease.
Of course, Fang Siyi himself has no position to accuse others, after all, he will only go more excessive.
But......
Who made you unlucky enough to be caught?
Especially Fang Siyi is usually low-key, and he is not as young and frivolous as heraldic children's shoes.
So if he doesn't fix him, Fang Siyi feels embarrassed.
As for Master Xing......
All I can say is sorry.
After all, it's impossible to compete with "Thai Embarrassment" at the box office, right?
Although "Thai Embarrassment" is also a comedy, it is Xu Zheng's first work, although there has been less contact in the past two years, but for Xu Zheng, Fang Siyi is still very grateful.
There are Huang Bo and Bao Bao in it, the lesser of two evils, naturally you can only pit Xingye.
When Fang Siyi announced the finalization, it caused a lot of controversy in the industry.
Many people think Fang Siyi is crazy.
It turned out to be in the Spring Festival stall, the front hard steel star!
Didn't you see that even the national teacher, Jiang Wen and others had to advance or postpone the schedule?
In order not to compete head-on with Xing Ye, you are a rookie director, although you are now holding the domestic box office record, how can you not think of a head-on confrontation with Xing Ye's movie?
And just be scared, you even used a documentary.
Are you sure you're not a masochist?
However, just when the outside world was watching the show, Fang Siyi unexpectedly received a call from Xu Zheng.
"Ha, Brother Xu, you're a busy man, why did you think of calling me?" Fang Siyi quipped with a smile.
"You......" Xu Zheng smiled bitterly, and then asked, "I called this time just to say thank you in person!"
"Haha, where is it, what is Brother Xu thanking me for?" With a move in his heart, Fang Siyi naturally knew what Xu Zheng was thankful for, but he was happy to pretend to be stupid.
"To tell the truth, this drama almost uses all of your Brother Xu and my net worth, if it is smashed, your Brother Xu can't talk about sleeping on the streets, but it's normal to be poor, I am really grateful that you can take care of me!"
"Ha, where is it, I wish Brother Xu a big box office hit in advance. Fang Siyi said with a smile.
"But Siyi......" Xu Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still said seriously: "If possible, let's move the movie to a different schedule, after all...... That's Xing Ye. ”
