Chapter 139: Clouds in All Directions
The release of "Eavesdropping" is the thing that Su Li attaches the most importance to recently, and when the filming ended that night, when Su Li sent Yang Mi home, the girl was a little surprised: "You seem to be in a good mood today?" ”
"Yes, I'm in a good mood." Su Li didn't hide it, although he didn't smile much today, everyone could see that Su Li was in a good mood.
"Can I ask you why?" Yang Mi asked curiously, to be honest, in all the time that Yang Mi saw Su Li, it seemed that he could be more open to himself. At other times, Su Li always had a bit of a faint feeling of uniformity.
Su Li confessed all the way to the end: ""Eavesdropping" is about to be released, and it will be released at the end of this month...... It took a lot of effort for this film, and now it's finally going to be tested by the audience. ”
"I see...... In the future, in addition to the music newcomer king, you will have one more screenwriter newcomer king? Yang Mi was asking Su Li.
"Let's hope so......"
"It should be, you have always been very talented, although you are always stupid, but you really have a hand."
"When am I dumbfounded......" Su Li was a little depressed.
―――――― the next day, Su Li saw Mak Zhaohui in the special miniature film screening room, Mak Zhaohui was a lot haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his dedication to this script can be imagined. The movie projector slowly began to turn, and the finished product of "Eavesdropping" appeared completely on the screen.
Like the original movie, the opening rhythm of "Eavesdropping" is quite tense, and the eavesdropping installation at the beginning makes people's hearts beat quite quickly, even if they have watched the movie once and what is being played now is made by Su Li and them, Su Li is still nervous and out of breath. Especially the part in the movie where Luo Yaoming suddenly returned to the building, it made people nervous and speechless.
Mak Zhaohui has seen this scene countless times, and now he doesn't feel anything when he looks at it again, but Su Li is different.
The scenes in the movie are moving rapidly, even if he wrote the script, even if he witnessed the filming process from beginning to end, Su Li was still attracted by the wonderful plot...... finally saw himself on the movie screen, and the sense of accomplishment and tension in his heart also came up, and it could be seen that Su Li had done a good job. Especially the scene where his acting skills exploded, I also think it's pretty good.
Soon, after watching the movie on one side, Su Li couldn't put it down when he watched the screening copy of the movie, and really wished he could watch it over and over again from beginning to end. From this, he also thought of waiting until "Nightclub. When the finished product is released, what will he love to become?
Mak Zhaohui saw Su Li's performance and smiled all the time, everyone has had such a process, and they can't wait to watch a movie over and over again dozens of times.
"That's good...... It's really well made......" Su Li said in his mouth, and said to Mak Zhaohui with a smile: "This movie is exactly the same as I imagined, thank you for making this movie so engaging, respecting the script and developing." ”
"Thank you no need! In fact, there is also a large part of your credit, which is just a movie processed from a good script. ”
"Huh...... I'm looking forward to the release now, how about it? Do you have confidence in this publicity and supply? ”
Mai Zhaohui's face was more firm: "Of course I have confidence!" This is a key battle for our march into the mainland, and we will definitely grasp it well, this time we have also won a lot of theater screening places in the mainland, and after the publicity is completed, we will wait for the final battle to come. ”
"Hmm......" Su Li nodded: "The final decisive battle...... It's going to be exciting, is there a recent campaign that I need to participate in? ”
"Yes, I checked your recent schedule yesterday, so you should have time to go to Shanghai on January 23rd to do a promotion, and you can do it in Beijing on January 25th, and the official release on January 31st...... I guess you have time to participate. ”
Su Li pondered the schedule in his heart, and found that he could find time to participate in these times, so he directly affirmed: "I have time, then, good luck to us~"
"You'll have good luck." Mak Zhaohui's eyes were attentive, looking at the first screening copies of "Eavesdropping", as if there was a flower on it, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
―――――― "Eavesdropping" will be released nationwide on January 31!
This piece of news seems to have thrown a bombshell into the national film market recently, and people have shifted their attention to this matter.
The recent "Eavesdropping" caused a lot of turmoil when filming started, because the screenwriter of this movie turned out to be Su Li. The album called "Pouring the World" made Su Li popular all over the country overnight, and the filming of "Eavesdropping" also received varying degrees of attention from many people.
Recently, the public opinion offensive of "Eavesdropping" has gradually launched across the country, and some posters have been gradually posted in public places. One of the most mainstream posters is a black background, on the far right is Wu Yanzu with headphones, in the middle is a calm Liu Qingyun, and on the left is Gu Tianle with a gun in hand and a tangled face.
Then at the top are a few big characters: Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, Wu Yanzu, Fang Zhongxin, Su Li! This type of poster is generally posted in places where middle-aged people appear more frequently, so the combination of Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, Wu Yanzu, and Fang Zhongxin above has been able to attract the attention of these people.
And there is a poster is based on the conversation of the three brothers on the roof of the building, after the design of the processing and processing of the picture, the dark clouds in the sky rolling, the black clouds pressing the city, Gu Tianle kneeling on the floor, the front walking is Liu Qingyun with an expressionless face, Wu Yanzu is lying on the rooftop and looking at Liu Qingyun's background expressionlessly.
This image is also able to attract everyone's attention, and this poster is trying to attract the crowd of people who are also of a certain age.
In addition, there is the appearance of Su Li in a poster that is used more, he is a little distorted and arguing with people on the rooftop, below this picture, the first line of words is: Screenwriter: Su Li! These four words are deliberately marked in a larger font, and in the list of starring actors at the top, Su Li's name is also ranked first.
Such posters mainly appear in places where young people haunt, after all, Su Li's popularity is basically concentrated on young people, and most of the people who like Su Li are also young people.
These posters have already given a lot of people an ear-to-ear effect, and many people have secretly decided to go to the cinema to see what the movie written by Su Li looks like.
After the production of "Eavesdropping" was completed, a new round of public opinion offensive completely broke out, and the crew of "Eavesdropping" also specially accepted exclusive interviews with several programs, and Su Li also attended one in the capital, which made the cheers on the scene much louder.
Su Li's popularity is very good now, many songs in "Pour the World" have been sung in everyone's mouth, and everyone can remember this album, the authors and singers of those songs.
The news of the upcoming release of "Eavesdropping" has swept the entire film industry.
Now everyone is paying attention to several movies, the most important of which is naturally the blockbuster "Red Cliff", people have invested too much expectations in this movie, looking forward to the release of this blockbuster. And what others are looking forward to is this "Eavesdropping", and everyone naturally attaches more importance to the combination of Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang.
And some people are looking forward to what the film written by Su Li will be like.
The most anticipated release of this movie are those loyal [pears] who have more than one million people, and they said through different channels that they must go to the cinema to watch this "Eavesdropping" to see how good the movie written by Su Li is.
"Eavesdropping" is about to be released, which is one of the few police films introduced to Hong Kong from the mainland, and some young moviegoers have also said that they will go to the cinema to relive the aftermath of Hong Kong films. Many people came for Zhuang Wenqiang and Mai Zhaohui, who made "Infernal Affairs".
Su Li is still filming "Nightclub. In the process of "Supermarket", a few reporters ran in outside the filming venue a few days ago, and they caught Su Li and asked some questions, many of which were about "Eavesdropping". Su Li also knew how much attention this movie had received, the afterglow of "Infernal Affairs" was too heavy, and everyone was looking forward to the continuation of these two people's masterpieces.
Su Li's own fame doesn't know how much attention to this movie should be raised, but at the same time, the title of "the screenwriter valued by Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang" also gave Su Li a stronger vitality among movie audiences.
In a program interview a few days ago, Mai Zhaohui said to the host without any pretentiousness: "Su Li is a very talented young man, his talent is definitely not limited to lyrics, at least it needs to include screenwriters, at least in "Eavesdropping", I saw his amazing talent in screenwriting, I believe everyone can see the talent of this twenty-year-old young man from this movie!" ”
Mak Zhaohui's words seem to be not easy to say, but it is this kind of understatement that reveals the appreciation of Su Li that has aroused everyone's further curiosity - where is Su Li sacred, so that filmmakers of this level can appreciate it to this point?
Soon, the trailer of "Eavesdropping" was launched, and a shot of Su Li was specially added to it to attract everyone's attention.
The trailer of "Eavesdropping" mainly highlights the tension, which is well done, showing most of the selling points of the film - three types of men, screenwriter Su Li, the tension of eavesdropping, the compactness of high-tech, and the changing situation in the era of stock speculation...... All of this, people can't help but be attracted to this trailer.
After the trailer was released, many people planned to pay for movie tickets and enjoy a visual feast on the eve of the Spring Festival.
On the same day, Time, a well-known film review website in China, placed a film review on the top of the expectation surname: the title is "Looking forward to Mai Zhaohui's new work".
"Since the Infernal Affairs era, the names Mak Chiu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang have remained in the indelible memory of Hong Kong movies. "Eavesdropping" may be an attempt at a new theme, in today's Hong Kong films, such a movie does not dare to replicate the glory of "Infernal Affairs", but at least don't destroy everyone's memories. The screenwriter of this movie is called Su Li, who is a young man who wrote a song like "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and "It's Not That Simple", I don't know if his combination with Hong Kong films is a chemical reaction or a failure, let's wait and see. ”
The next post reviewed some of the brilliance of "Infernal Affairs", reviewed the talents of Mak Zhaohui and others, and finally mentioned Su Li, his point of view represents the thoughts of most people - they are looking forward to "Eavesdropping" to create a brilliant performance, for Su Li's screenwriting identity, they look forward to Su Li's wonderful performance, but they still feel a little unreliable in their hearts, after all, Su Li is only twenty years old.
This is what they think, the news of the imminent release of this movie has attracted a lot of discussions, and whether Su Li can control the story of such a movie, whether he wrote the script for Mak Zhaohui is an achievement or a loss, this discussion has also attracted many people's war of words.
[Pears] naturally support Su Li, they believe that Su Li's talent is not only reflected in writing songs, but also in screenwriting, otherwise how can Gabriel in the United States. Muchino, Will. Will Smith be able to take a fancy to him?
―――――― Su Li naturally heard about the discussion in the outside world, but he knew a little bit about it, and he was so busy these days that he didn't have time to pay attention to everyone's discussion.
Nightclub. The filming process of "Supermarket" has been moving forward, and at this time, the irritating elements of making a movie continue to jump out.
Every day he has to deal with a lot of work, sometimes he has to attend events during the day, and he has to sort out materials and some shooting things. At night, he had to prepare for the shoot, and often worked until the early hours of the morning, lying in bed like a dead dog, but he had no qualifications to sleep like this, and the next day he had to get up early - he had no right to rest, and could only call himself like a robot.
With such a tiring day, I have to deal with many people's doubts, deal with problems such as insufficient funds, and some places where the budget is exceeded, etc., these factors accumulate enough to make people collapse!
However, the release of "Eavesdropping" is finally an exciting news for him, on January 23, he attended a publicity meeting in Shanghai, but there was not much time, and he soon returned to Beijing to deal with the filming. On January 25, Su Li will attend a publicity meeting in the capital, and he will participate in the whole publicity meeting.
When Su Li came to the publicity meeting, it had already been set up, and he and Mak Zhaohui had a collusion backstage, and then Su Li was going to face the questions of reporters and the audience as the organizer of "Eavesdropping".
