Chapter 77 Movie Ratings?
"Ah Hua, what's wrong?" Fu Baorong looked at Li Yihua with a gloomy face and asked with concern.
"What a bald guy, clearly crossing the river and demolishing the bridge" Li Yihua told what happened in Xinyi City in a meticulous manner.
After listening to this, Fu Baorong also said indignantly: "It's really too deceitful, and I still want to establish a strategic partnership with them." ”
"Brother Fu, how is it about letting you buy the movie theater?" After Li Yihua vented, he was in a much better mood and began to care about his company's theater problems.
"It didn't go well, only eight small movie theaters were acquired, and the location was not very good." Now that Hong Kong movies are in their golden age, no one is willing to transfer movie theaters, and Fu Baorong is helpless when he mentions movie theaters.
Now there are only more than 100 cinemas in Hong Kong, half of which belong to the three major cinema chains of Shaw Brothers, Golden Princess and Golden Harvest in New Arts City, plus some of these cinemas have been cooperating with the three major film companies, and it is impossible to transfer. In such a short period of time, the acquisition of eight movie theaters has reached a quarter of them except for the three major theater chains.
"It doesn't matter, the Long March is only one step, and there will be opportunities in the future."
"Hey, Mr. Liu Li, you're here too."
"Yes, I was sent by the boss, who called Li Yihua has a lot of news? Why did your newspaper send you over, it can be seen that you are also very interested in this Longsheng Pictures? Wen Wei Po reporter Liu Li said.
"There's no way, don't you know that our boss has that temper, besides, this Longsheng Pictures has always been a lot of news, and I don't know what news to announce at this press conference." The Ta Kung Pao reporter sighed.
"yes, my vacation is also in vain. You said that this Longsheng Pictures is also true, what kind of press conference did you want? The Wen Wei Po reporter complained.
Ta Kung Pao's reporter smiled and said: "I heard that the production of "Chainsaw" has been completed, and this press conference must be held for the promotion of the new film. ”
"Li Yihua is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and he may not be doing anything this time?" He Yan, who has a grudge against Li Yihua, eats the taste.
"Let's go, the press conference is about to start." Liu Li patted He Yan helplessly and said.
"Distinguished journalists, friends and guests, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the press conference of Longsheng Pictures." Fu Baorong took the microphone and said to the audience below.
"Next, let me talk about the process of this press conference." After all the reporters were stable, Fu Baorong continued: "This press conference has a total of one hour, half an hour of press release time, and half an hour of question time. Therefore, during the press conference, please do not interrupt at will, thank you for your cooperation. ”
"Now I would like to invite Mr. Li Yihua of Longsheng Pictures to speak." As Fu Baorong's words fell, a bunch of reporters quieted down, but the excitement in their hearts did not disappear, and they all stared at Li Yihua on the rostrum, for fear that he would suddenly disappear by accident. The long and short microphones of all the media were aimed at Li Yihua, and all the cameras were aimed at him.
"In order to save everyone's time, I will talk a lot. Our company's "Chainsaw" has been completed, and it has been decided to be released on June 8th. Because this drama has a certain amount of bloody scenes, it is not suitable for all people to watch, so the company decided to watch the movie for people over 18 years old. ”
Fu Baorong was also very surprised when he heard the news, obviously Li Yihua didn't tell him this statement, so he had to hide his doubts on this occasion. I thought to myself: after the press conference, you must ask clearly.
As soon as this news was released, the audience was in an uproar, and the movie still restricts the age of movie-watching, is there still anyone who thinks that there is more money?
"What, over 18?" An entertainment reporter doesn't know why, it's really a bombshell, and tomorrow's number one news must be it.
Reporters scrambled to ask questions, and most of the long guns and short guns were concentrated in front of Li Yihua. His gaze turned around in a group of people, and finally fell on Qi Yu, a female reporter from "Entertainment World", "Lady priority is an international practice, this reporter friend, you come first." ”
Qi Yu, who got the opportunity, was very happy and said unceremoniously, "Director Li, everyone knows your family history, why do you want to limit the age of moviegoers, aren't you worried about affecting the box office of the movie?" ”
"Movies, in order to show the realism and artistic surname well, some over-the-top pieces exist, but what attracts everyone is not these, but the storyline and complete surname of the movie, for the age limit of moviegoers, I think it should be promoted, in other countries, the classification system has been tested for a long time, it can play a good role in protecting minors, and Hong Kong filmmakers have also gained more freedom to create, some taboo themes can also be filmed, This played a role in driving the development of heavy films. ”
"Director Li, since it's bloody and violent, why do you want to shoot what kind of movies, is it that now that Jiang Lang is exhausted, he can only sell these eye-catching movies to attract the audience?" When He Yan heard that there were bad scenes in the movie, he immediately attacked, and he hated Li Yihua very much.
"I know you, your name is He Yan, right? This movie was created by me, and it will definitely give the audience a different feeling, whether Jiang Lang is talented or not, and the audience will evaluate it when the time comes. I don't like to shoot the same, I don't make movies for money, I want to express what is in my heart. "Saw" does have bad scenes, but that's for the sake of the plot, not to promote violence and attract attention. ”
Li Yihua frowned, he was very disgusted by the reporter who peeped at others, but unfortunately He Yan was really one of them, and he said without giving a good face.
"Then Director Li, you also know that Xinyicheng's "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order" is being released, and Debao's movie is about to be released recently, do you have the confidence to defeat them in this small-budget movie?"
"Defeated? This is not a war, we are learning from each other, their films all belong to the type of family carnival, suitable for all ages, and our film has lost a lot of audiences from the positioning, I really don't dare to say how the box office is, but as long as we can reach half of them, we will be considered successful. Li Yihua said modestly, before the movie is released, everything is unknown, and whether it can win a high box office remains to be decided by the market.
"Director Li, why are the scripts you wrote so popular?" A reporter with eyes asked a question about construction.
"There is no doubt that Hong Kong is the most successful commercial film production base in Asia. The most important thing in writing a script is to follow the market, and at the same time, we must also improve our own capabilities, and the most important thing is to improve the treatment of screenwriters, only in this way can we write excellent scripts. ”
When the reporters heard another fierce news from Li Yihua, their hearts were full of joy, and they all felt that this trip was worthwhile!
