"Director Li, as a woman, I am curious that you have worked with so many actresses, which one do you admire the most, do you know that Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang, who are also known as the 'Four Great Directors of China', have all fallen in love with the heroines of their own works, do you also have this plan?"

Now there was a burst of laughter immediately, and everyone was looking forward to Li Xiaole's answer.

"I believe that every director loves his heroine, because only love can shoot the best side of an actress, so I love the heroine of every play." Li Xiaole replied with some embarrassment, making everyone feel that they had nothing to say, and they were too cunning to say that they were shy.

Zuihou asked a question from a veteran movie fan.

"Director Li, hello, I am your fan, I want to ask you, just like the title of your speech today "Looking for the Heart", I want to know, where is the direction of your heart in the future? Will you shoot a deep story? Or to make some less commercial movies, such as tragedy, or not to use any stars, like Zhang Yimou's "No One is Missing", pay attention to some themes that few people pay attention to? A long-haired boy in a white shirt asked.

"Of course I will try new themes, but my ability is still limited, you also know that I am only 22 years old, and many things are not deep enough, in fact, "Let the Bullets Fly" is very deep, every character is very deep, but it may be difficult for you to understand the whole story at one time in the version I have edited, in fact, this movie may be a completely different movie from the surface you see now......" Li Xiaole is actually very helpless, he also hopes to make some more in-depth movies, but everything has to come step by step, He is only 30 years old in his heart, and he can't bear too heavy movies for the time being, and the audience's appreciation level is far from as high as they think, so it's good to be able to understand "Bullet".

Don't get it? "Let the Bullets Fly" characters have depth? Many Peking University students who have watched "Let the Bullets Fly" are confused, although the pace of this story is too fast, resulting in overlapping wit, and logically the average female audience may be a little confused, but most senior fans are easy to understand, except for some small puzzles, it seems that there is no suspense left?

In such a seemingly ordinary speech conversation, Li Xiaole left a huge puzzle, weishenme He said that "Let the Bullets Fly" is a completely different movie from what everyone sees on the surface?

A year ago, in the hustle and bustle of the Chinese New Year, Feng Xiaogang's 6th Chinese New Year film "Mobile Phone" was released, and this film, which was hailed as Feng Xiaogang's breakthrough, although after SARS subsided, won the box office championship in 2003 with an astonishing box office of 72.3 million, but he was soon drowned in the light of Li Xiaole's aiqing light comedy "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

Many fans of Feng Xiaogang want to fantasize about "Feng Xiaogang taught Li Xiaole how to shoot light comedy ......" The dream was shattered in an instant.

"Feng Xiaogang, the king of Chinese New Year films, is going to give up the position of the top commercial film director in the mainland? Although he was the top commercial film director who won the mainland film box office championship 4 times between 97 and 2001, Li Crazy broke all Feng Xiaogang's records within two years, which made Feng Xiaogang, a friend of Li Xiaole, have high morale.

After "Hero" expanded its territory and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" cleaned up piracy, Feng Xiaogang and Huayi Brothers were holding back their strength to see what their actual box office would be without piracy.

So this time, "No Thieves in the World" has become Feng Xiaogang's strongest lineup and the largest investment in the movie.

A year has passed, Ge You is still Ge You, but with the addition of Hong Kong King Liu Dehua, the popular "Xu Sanduo" Wang Baoqiang, with Liu Ruoying, Li Binbing, two popular actresses, You Yong, Lin Jiadong, Fan Wei and many powerful actors to help, and even Li Xiaole's cameo.

Under the attention and anticipation, this Chinese New Year film, which has an investment of 40 million like "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb", was finally released on time on December 1, and the long-awaited two major comedy directors of Chinese films finally launched a head-to-head showdown in the New Year file.

Although everyone thinks that "Let the Bullets Fly", which has achieved a box office of 300 million, will definitely overwhelm "No Thieves in the World" at the total box office, but "Let the Bullets Fly" has been released for two weeks, can it compete with "Feng Xiaogang's most haode movie" in the mouth of film critics in this situation? That's a highlight.

For the sake of publicity, after saying hello to Li Xiaole, Feng Xiaogang still said loudly to the media: ""No Thieves in the World" and "Let the Bullets Fly" are not the same type, I believe that the people like to watch Liu Dehua should be more than Jiang Wen......

The media and fans are also looking forward to this big battle, and the "Bund Pictorial" takes Feng Xiaogang and Liu Dehua and Geyou as the cover, and the front page introduces the relevant content of this Feng's New Year film, which is specifically mentioned

"Let the Bullets Fly" has occupied all theaters, but it has also attracted a lot of fans who have never entered the theater, and these fans will also be interested in "No Thieves in the World".

Especially under the premise that Feng Xiaogang used Hong Kong and Taiwanese actors as the male and female protagonists for the first time, everyone tends to believe that he will bring surprises, and "No Thieves in the World" can be as eye-catching as "Let the Bullets Fly" "

Not only that, it has not yet been released, BMW, Great Wall Lubricants, Nikon cameras, and various big brand companies have already chosen this movie by replacing advertising.

This also led to the fact that "No Thieves in the World" has not yet been released, and it has been satirized and bombarded by the mainstream media, everyone thinks that Feng Xiaogang has gone astray on the road of product placement, and even many senior film critics bet that if there is no BMW, Great Wall lubricants, and Nikon cameras in "No Thieves in the World", then they are willing to give Feng Xiaogang a daoqian in public.

It seems that "There Are No Thieves in the World" has been scolded, but in fact, these film critics' gimmicks are all created by Huayi Company itself, and negative marketing is Wang Zonglei's most common publicity trick, and the decisive factor in the box office of a movie in the first week lies in the early publicity and later advertising effect.

From this point of view, "No Thieves in the World", which spent 25 million publicity costs, is no worse than "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", which once won a box office of 300 million on Valentine's Day, and there is a key point, that is, the weight of Feng Xiaogang himself, in the Chinese New Year film schedule, Feng Xiaogang is a golden signboard.

Therefore, no matter what the audience reputation of "No Thieves in the World" is, with a lineup like Feng Xiaogang, Liu Dehua, and Ge You, and the publicity of mainstream entertainment media, especially "China Film Report", "Entertainment Live", and "Entertainment Without Limits", the audience who goes to the cinema has no reason to miss such a film, and the film market has been brought to prosperity by "Let the Bullets Fly", and the public's enthusiasm for watching movies can be said to be at its peak.

So what happened when the king of Chinese New Year films met Lee's madness?

This time, as in previous years, Huayi Brothers still invited more than 30 stars to help out at the grand premiere ceremony held in Shanghai Film City, this kind of pomp should be able to attract media attention at any time, but unfortunately after seeing the big scene of the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly" Gongti 10,000 people, the media's enthusiasm for this traditional premiere has been greatly reduced.

And "Let the Bullets Fly" unexpectedly launched a new version on this day, the Sichuan dubbed version~!

On this day, fans flocked to the cinema, some watched "Let the Bullets Fly", and some bought tickets for "No Thieves in the World".

And more people choose to watch "No Thieves in the World" first, and then watch the Sichuan version of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Early in the morning of the second day of the premiere, Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zonglei made various phone calls to the headquarters of Huayi Company.

"Hey, is the box office in South China out? There are also those in the northeast, you check the numbers with Wanda. ”

"You hurry up and find Manager Wu, I need accurate numbers, and I also need to know the box office figures of "Let the Bullets Fly."

On the other hand, Han Sanpin of China Film Company is also doing the same thing, and the relevant personnel of the group company are busy calculating the box office, you must know that the competitors of "Let the Bullets Fly" this time are different from before, this is a truly competitive domestic blockbuster.

The media, fans and fans all felt their blood boiling, Li Crazy vs Feng Xiaogang! The showdown between the old and new directors of commercial films!

This is another competition between super-powerful domestic directors after Li Crazy "Crazy Stone" vs Zhang Yimou's "Hero".

Soon everyone got the box office of this day, when the box office was freshly released on Wednesday, December 1, the Sichuan version of "Let the Bullets Fly" just launched by China Film Group was screened on 1378 screens, 3289 screenings, and got a box office of 14.27 million.

and "No Thieves in the World" was screened on 1,586 screens, 4,178 screenings, and won a box office of 13.39 million.

In this round, "Let the Bullets Fly" came out on top, and Han Sanpin, who was very excited with his fists in the office of China Film Group, smiled from ear to ear, and the box office could reach at least 400 million.

On the other hand, Wang Zonglei and Feng Xiaogang in the Shangri-La Hotel are also smiling and toasting to each other, this single-day box office can at least guarantee the 1 of "No Thieves in the World". 500 million box office results.

"weishenme, we are so good at the box office, I still feel a little pity?" Wang Zonglei touched his head and felt that he was still a little unhappy.

"Zong Lei, this is your businessman thinking, you love to compare, you will be jealous when you see that Li Xiaole is going to get 400 million box office." Feng Xiaogang pursed his mouth and said disapprehantly:

"Let the Bullets Fly" is really good, haode has nothing to say, our film is not bad, but it is still a little worse in comparison, it is okay to get 100 million, this is our new box office record."

"It's really going to be celebrated." Wang Zonglei hahadaxiao, and then shook his head again, all he was thinking about at the moment was the picture of Li Xiaole coming to Zhongying to borrow Ge You, if he made a condition to keep him at that time...... Or the boss of the mainland film industry is their Huayi Brothers......... Unfortunately, this is just a fantasy.

In the industry, while filmmakers are paying attention to this showdown, Li Xiaole has received a new movie task that makes him laugh......
