Chapter 401: On the eve of the release

Finally, in the expectation of many fans, the trailer of "Dear" is long overdue, which is different from the youth inspirational film that everyone imagined Gu Xiaofan was good at, this time the style is completely different, and the editing of the film is very simple. 【】

In the trailer, Gu Xiaofan, who has messy hairstyle, is wearing a very rustic T-shirt, and a missing person revelation is hung on his chest, on which his son's information is written.

"My name is Tian Wenjun, this is my son Tian Peng, he went missing on July 18, 2003, around 5 p.m., ......"

Then there were scenes of grief-wrenching, Haiqing shouted heart-rending "Tian Wenjun" at the police station! You return my son. ”

Gao Yuanyuan knelt in the detention center and begged for mercy in a broken heart: "Jifang was picked up by my man on the construction site in Shenzhen, not bought. ”

Liang Jiahui in the rain cried by the vending machine......

Cry...... Cry...... Still crying......

Alas...

The first reaction of people who saw this trailer was to sigh deeply, and then shake their heads helplessly.

No one expected that Gu Xiaofan, who has always been good at inspirational comedy, would bring them such a tragic work.

This is a completely anti-market film...... You can also shoot abduction with a little more blood, and make it a little warmer, do you want to scare everyone away with so many crying scenes?

This made the managers of major theaters breathe a sigh of relief, and Ye Zhiqiu of Wanda Cinema Line even sighed when arranging the filming of the Chinese New Year:

"I originally wanted to secretly stuff Gu Xiaofan with some screens, it seems that this time it is really not too necessary, this kind of film has 200 screens, I'm afraid there are ...... more"

In the case that industry insiders are not optimistic, "Dear" is very popular on the Internet, and the Weibo posted by the leading actors every day makes many netizens feel as if they have personally participated in the filming of this movie.

As soon as the trailer of "Dear" came out, many people already expressed their stance on Weibo that they were aiming at Gao Yuanyuan (Gu Xiaofan), and they must also watch it.

The strong appeal of the two leading actors among fans is gradually fermenting.

The propaganda offensive of China Film, Huayi's "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number" is overwhelming all over the country, and the three forces are accumulating their own strength before the release.

Click~Click~ In the studio full of lights, in the blue photography backboard, Gu Xiaofan, who was dressed in a black suit, sat on the garden bench, next to Liang Jiahui, who was also in a suit and leather shoes, article.

Gao Yuanyuan, dressed in a snow-white long dress, stood between them with a round and beautiful face, and Haiqing in the corner looked like a strong woman with her fists raised.

"Yes, keep this smile, the state is very good~!" Juandi, the cinematographer of "Universal Screen" over there, kept pressing the shutter, clicking and reminding:

"Director Gu, you are the youngest, you have to be a little more excited, don't be too honest~ That's right~ You try to jump, jump a little higher, right~"

Gu Xiaofan couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he had to be at the mercy of the photographer just for the sake of publicity, and he jumped helplessly, which made Gao Yuanjiao laugh.

The five of them are now shooting the cover photo for "Global Screen" magazine, "Gu Xiaofan's new film "Dear" Journey to Find a Child", which is the cover of the next issue of "Global Screen", and it is also for the promotion of the upcoming release of "Dear".

Gu Xiaofan was not very satisfied with even jumping a few times, and when he saw Gao Yuanyuan snickering next to him, he couldn't help but propose: "Photographer ~ How about letting Yuanyuan dance with me~ The picture will look much better~"

"Okay~This idea is good~" Juan Di's eyes lit up, he squatted on the ground and raised the camera, aiming at them at the best angle: "Yuanyuan, you dance with Director Gu, be happy~"

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Gu Xiaofan angrily, and when Hu Andi shouted "prepare", he suddenly let out an oops, and jumped towards Gu Xiaofan with a smile, Gu Xiaofan instinctively reached out and hugged her, and Liang Jiahui and others behind him were all panicked.

With a click, this picture of Gu Xiaofan's bride hugging Gao Yuanyuan was frozen and became the cover of the next issue of "Universal Screen".

For various movie fans, their attention is not on any interesting cover when they get this issue of "Universal Screen", they are more concerned about the content inside.

Let go of the 3 pages, the whole page on the right is a pictorial of Gu Xiaofan holding a chair and frowning and thinking, there are a lot of interviews in it, but the free gossip that everyone is most concerned about, the eyes jump to find the topic that interests the most.

"May I ask Director Gu, your "Dear" will be released in the Chinese New Year, and the competitors in the same period are two domestic blockbusters, "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number", what do you think of these two movies?"

Gu Xiaofan replied: "Director Chen Kexin and Director Feng Xiaogang are both people I admire very much, and the cast of these two movies is also very strong, I believe that they will achieve excellent box office, and I am very much looking forward to playing with them during the Chinese New Year." ”

Turning another page, the reporter raised the most critical question: "For this "Dear", it is undoubtedly under great pressure to be released in the Chinese New Year, especially to compete with the works of China Film and Huayi Brothers, which are also domestic film giants, may I ask Director Gu, how much do you predict the box office performance of your film can reach?" ”

Gu Xiaofan replied: "Actually, I am more concerned about whether our actors' performances can impress the audience, but you have to ask me a number, I think that according to the vigorous development of various theaters and theaters in the past six months, my expectation for this movie is 200 million." ”

This makes everyone who sees this number feel funny, this is simply not bragging, but the cow is flying in the sky, 200 million? A tragic theme of abduction?

Or is it under the double pressure of the two blockbusters of "Casting a Name" and "The Assembly"?

You must know that although the success of "Chinese Partner" in the summer file is a miracle, after all, there is no domestic theme of the same type to divide the market.

For a niche film like "Dear", it is completely impossible to compete with two war blockbusters for the audience.

After seeing this report, many media began to sneer at Gu Xiaofan's arrogance, and all of them were not optimistic about this rural abduction theme, and "China Film News" published a commentary article saying:

"Maybe Gu Xiaofan is the most potential actor and director in China, but in front of Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kexin, as well as Liu Dehua and Li Lianjie, he may not be ranked."

Film critics on the Internet also commented: "Gu Xiaofan's cowhide this time is also shocking, and he shouted out the declaration of a box office of more than 200 million early, he doesn't seem to know that only Zhang Yimou has stepped on the 200 million mark in China, and Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang are still out of reach of this goal......

Many fans of Feng Xiaogang and Liu Dehua also gave Gu Xiaofan a sarcastic nickname "Gu Zhentian" based on this sentence: "Gu Xiaofan's earth-shattering sound of cowhide blowing this time".

Many people have even looked at Gu Xiaofan and "big-mouthed Song Zude" all the way.

However, Gu Xiaofan's fans don't see it that way, they seem to be looking forward to Gu Xiaofan creating more miracles, "Love Apartment", "Chinese Partner", which time didn't they detonate the market with a gang of trust?
