267: The Chinese's Road to Hollywood

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Li Donglai is a wild man, and he has been learning from beginning to end. 78xs He didn't go to school, and that must be admitted.

Therefore, when they looked back and patiently sat in the spacious and quiet screening room of the new company and watched "The Hangover", Li Donglai, Sean Ha, Jerry and others smiled and found that this 115-minute movie, which poured countless people's efforts, efforts and laughter, was actually a bit biased towards the cut film genre.

Similar to the style of Li Donglai's last film, many shots, editing and soundtrack techniques are used to try to innovate. If a director who came out of an orthodox school, after watching it, he would probably be indignant and scold, "What the hell." ”

But they were willing to do it.

When the screening ended, Li Dong looked at the others in the screening room. Before you know it, the seats in the back are already full.

"How's it going, guys?"

Sean looked at Jerry and tilted his head in dissatisfaction, "I think it's good." ”

"It's so beautiful, I want to see it again. By the time it comes to the big screen, it's definitely more feeling. Some staff members couldn't wait to sigh, "Now that I think about it, this movie was made by our work, and I feel incredible." ”

The corners of Li Donglai's mouth rose, "Okay, then it's decided." "If it's nondescript, it's not descript.

Whether or not this is just self-appreciation, the theatrical version of "The Hangover" is a foregone conclusion, in addition to sending the copy to the MPAA for grading review as soon as possible, and the pre-release publicity work has already begun.

Internet viral marketing is no longer an unfamiliar word in this era.

The drunken sniffing activity they did is now one of the hottest topics on the Internet. The Phantom Company also struck while the iron was hot, so many people cheered, it would be too stingy to set up only one award. As a result, the reward was multiplied tenfold, and the total prize money was one million dollars. Maybe ten people will win the award, maybe fifty people will win.

When the movie is released, the event may be even more popular.

Internet bombardment propaganda, whether you watch it or not, but my posters and videos will appear on the portal you are used to visiting. There are also magazine and newspaper covers and interviews, outdoor poster advertisements, theatrical screen trailers, TV 30-second promotional videos, and so on.

Although the Internet is full of all kinds of concerns about Li Donglai's identity as a Chinese cannot control the essence of the true American faction, judging from the trailer alone, this is a movie worth looking forward to. Novel themes, bizarre drunken anecdotes. With only a white rooster and a tiger in that luxurious hotel room, the TV smashed by a golf ball, the sofa burned into a hole and smoking, and the inexplicable baby......

It's enough to arouse people's curiosity.

Of course, there are also many netizens who have spoken out to defend that a girl with a rather poetic name "Cold Colors Tangled into the Wind" is full of confidence in "The Hangover", and she wrote enthusiastically: "I laughed several times when I watched the trailer, and it will definitely be the funniest comedy movie ever." I believe that Li Donglai, he will surprise us, even if it is a baring ass, I am willing to watch, his ass must be different...... I love him to death, if he needs to, he can always secret me, I will pose for you at any time, and I will never report it......" Of course, this comment is very good at the front, and if there is no last half sentence, it is perfect. Especially the last sentence will never be reported, so that Brother Donglai has no courage even if he has the heart (^_^, it's the little sister in the group, oo~)

In the midst of a lot of discussion, the hangover was tried, and it was not surprising that it was R-rated. Because the film is full of various lines starting with the F word, as well as alcohol-alcohol, dew-point photos.

Negotiating schedules with the big bosses of various theaters is also in full swing.

At this time, Li Donglai felt that foreigners are not easy to mix in Hollywood. American society prides itself on democracy, but if you really believe the that you can succeed by relying only on hard work, you are really a big fool.

Because June, progressive summer. There are still countless blockbusters waiting to be screened, and the dumping and exclusion of large companies happens from time to time. Some good movies are often squeezed into corners because they can't find a release schedule. Li Donglai's previous film was too profitable, which made people red, and this time the negotiation was also squeezed out. But fortunately, he is not too dazzling and has not been blocked by large companies. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for the small and emerging company of Phantom.

When the media interviewed members of the MPAA rating committee, some critics gave a thumbs up with a smile on their faces: "It's great, it's the best comedy of recent years." ”

"It's hard to imagine that a Chinese person actually shoots with such an American flavor."

"The film is very ...... Extraordinary...... Novel and unique. yes, it's novel and unique, hahaha, it's really funny, my stomach hurts! ”

The "......" reporter was speechless, this was not the news he wanted to hear, he would have liked to hear these commentators say that the movie was rubbish, the movie was very bad, and so on. So in the subsequent autologue, he said in front of the camera with a big mouth: "I'm not sure if these commentators are normal...... Well, maybe they received Li Donglai's red envelope, and I heard that the Chinese are the best at bribery. ”

But after this interview, many people are looking forward to "The Hangover" even more. However, there are also people who are unhappy, those commentators were framed by a small reporter for no reason, which is a very strict thing.

The assessment committee did not delay for a moment, and immediately sent a lawyer's letter less than 10 minutes after the report came out, demanding a public apology from the media outlets. Otherwise, it will have to be testified in court, which is completely slanderous and framed. Uncle can't bear it, and aunt can't bear it.

It's a big deal, and it's a big deal. The whole country is watching.

The fuse of the matter, "The Hangover" was also hyped.

Watching Li Donglai's movie, it was hot before it was released, and some black fans of Brother Donglai couldn't watch it, "Please, it's just an R-level commercial comedy, except for and pee or, what can be good, I don't look forward to it at all." ”

Seeing that they were all paying attention to "The Hangover", as a die-hard WWE fan, "This is something to be treated" was very disdainful, "Isn't it just a show-fart-stock movie, what's funny?" I don't think this film will do well, and it will not reach the box office of the first film. If IMDB starts voting, I'll smash an egg. Even 100 million in North America is a problem, and it is better to let him lose money and go bankrupt......"

This comment is so vile that it can almost constitute a personal attack.

So soon Donglai Ge's fans came out to block it, "I don't agree, its production cost is only 35 million, and 100 million in North America must have satisfied Phantom Film Company." ”

The situation is not good, according to the statistics of the recent survey, the box office forecast fed back to the Phantom Company, most film critics are not optimistic.

35 million investment, then the box office must be at least 80 million or more to recover the investment. But with the hype of the first movie, will this new movie be able to recoup its costs?

In addition to the ill-intentioned factors of those who have not seen the movie and are worried about the quality of their films for the Phantom Company, it is also necessary to consider the entire market environment and historical numbers.

According to the analysis of Kal-hot, the marketing specialist of the Phantom Company, in general, the theme chosen by Li Donglai is very flattering, and the current market environment is indeed hungry for wedding comedies, and the most recent wedding comedy movie was eight years ago. That was when "My Grand Greek Wedding" was released, and there are so few wedding movies these days, and the audience is in a state of hunger and thirst. But just looking at the comedy environment, it's not so optimistic, because in recent years, except for cartoons, no good comedy has ever won a good box office, let alone an R-rated comedy.

The previous R-rated film champion "Beverly Hills Detective", this action comedy was released on December 1, 1984, the second in North America was the romantic comedy "Pretty Woman" released on March 23, 1990, Julia Roberts's famous work, and the third in North America "I'm Crazy for Mary" released on July 15, 1998, North American billion, global billion.

Then came "Screaming Laughter", which was released on July 7, 2000 and was released in North America, followed by "American Pie 2" on August 10, 01. Not to mention the age-old "Beverly Hills Detective", the most recent blockbuster film is "The Straight Dancer" released on December 10, 99, with a cost of 17 million, 65.53 million in North America and 92.93 million worldwide......

While The Hangover's R-rated reason is foul language and violence, does it have what it takes to be a Beverly Hills Detective? Suspicious.

……

Ahem, ask for collection.
