Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Li Donglai is back, what difference will the phantom make, people quickly realized
A low-budget comedy movie, it dared to be released in the Chūn festival where Hollywood blockbusters gathered, and also strongly PK 200 million (some say that the investment is more than 300 million) of the 3D blockbuster "Tron: War Chronicle", and "Shaolin Temple" starring Andy have to stand aside, and they can't be eye-catching
Looking at the slogans they shouted, Hollywood Disney didn't know whether to cry or laugh
"The production of "People in Embarrassment" made high-profile publicity: The American Phantom defeated the 200 million 3D bad movie "Tron: War Chronicle" with "Due Date", and it is passed down in one line, and the Chinese Phantom "People in Embarrassment" will lose another 200 million 3D bad movie "Tron: War Chronicle"! If you want to watch a movie during the holidays, just watch the embarrassment of hilariousness! ”
Be arrogant, arrogant!
But what they said was real-time, and "Due Date" in the United States did steal the two-week weekend box office champion of "Tron: War" and killed them
This is an unimaginable disaster for a 3D blockbuster with an investment of nearly 300 million, their original goal, but to catch up with "Inception", at least to reach the level of "Avatar", and now this movie has made Disney lose a lot
It can be seen that film investment is also very risky
It is said that the idea of "People in Embarrassment" and "Due Date" originated from the same foreign novel, and from the point of view of the creation time, there is no meaning for anyone to borrow from whom, and both companies are phantoms, and the idiom "passed down in one line" is also very appropriate
Based on all of the above, netizens who watched it as a joke at the beginning suddenly found that the phantom was really not talking empty words and watching the trailer, it seemed quite funny, so do you want to go and see it after the release of "People in Embarrassment", do you want to see it, do you want to see it......
Who knew that this movie called "People in Embarrassment" was going to be released, but now everyone knows that this is the change after Li Donglai came back
Li Donglai has a good relationship with Penguin.com, and Penguin.com's camera followed Li Donglai before, and followed the whole process of the New Year's Eve concert in Times Square in New York
Reciprocate, Li Donglai, who they promised to promote "People in Embarrassment", will not be forgetful, and now it's time to repay him
A series of photos titled "A series of photos of the company's internal working environment taken by employees of the Phantom Film's special effects department" was promoted by a number of websites on the homepage, home, entertainment and other channels in conjunction with the movie that Phantom is preparing to release
Netizens see the office environment like a dream world, and when they compare their offices, there is a strong sense of gap between heaven and pig's nest, which is also the internal facilities of the phantom company, which is exposed to the public for the first time, like a vacation office, basically no employees will not want to work here
Some people scoff at the fact that having a good working environment does not mean that they can come up with good works, but a good working environment will at least play a certain role in promoting the creativity of employees
From small to large, a company that pursues details, creativity and innovation, their works are naturally different from other entertainment companies that are decorated with magnificence and are afraid that others will not know that their office is gold or diamond
There may not be such a gap in the facts, but the publicity effect on the side will definitely be cumulative
Some media that don't report on "People in Embarrassment" at all also suddenly began to report intensively, "Today, Li Dong is leading the team, carrying the crew of "People in Embarrassment" to promote the scandal girlfriend Emma Watson", "If you want to watch a movie during the holidays, just watch the embarrassment of hilariousness!" ”
"A domestic movie is still a small-scale comedy, and if you dare to ignore Hollywood imported blockbusters so much, I'm afraid there is only one Phantom"
Not to mention, as soon as these slogans were shouted, they really increased the interest of many fans in watching the movie
……
"Hello Mr. Li Donglai, Mr. Xu Zhen, Mr. Wang Baoqiang, welcome to the celebrity face-to-face, my name is the host Ye Rong, I am honored to be able to interview you!"
Dragon TV's scheduled program recording began, a camera was set up in front of the sofa, and the staff were all watching, especially the one sitting on the side, Li Donglai, who was full of free and easy charm, Ye Rong, who was in charge of this interview, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, usually they wanted to interview, it must not be so simple, now taking advantage of him to help promote the movie, it was very light to interview this artist who was called "the least popular by the media" by the Hollywood media
Look at the past few years of his debut, box office world records, Golden Globe Award and Oscar nomination regulars, and now he is still a Grammy nomination winner
He is rich, eloquent, and handsome...... How many years has it taken for China to produce such a character, he is a legend! Ye Rong is also a well-known host in the East, she has watched the American talk show hosted by Li Donglai, and she has also studied his resume
Li Donglai's hosting style is profound but not rigid, lively but not kitsch, and humorous words are endless, if this person wants to switch to the hosting world, if he wants to go to the high-end interview wèn to do the show, even if he can't reach the level of Shui Junyi and Bai Yansong, it is not too far away, if he is on a variety show, He Jiong wants to cry bitter
He wants to see celebrities as simple as death, American presidents have seen it, it's just a matter of brushing his teeth, and he is always calm and admirable in the face of celebrities, big names, and presidents! This is somewhat similar to Bai Yansong, the No. 1 in the domestic hosting industry
But he is younger than himself
If you like it from the bottom of your heart, you can only raise your thumbs to praise his movies, it's strange, he started from Hengdian, and the movies he made are all American-style, which is also the first question Ye Rong wants to ask
After the two sides said hello, Ye Rong laughed lightly, made a gesture to invite them to sit down on the sofa, and expressed his admiration to Li Donglai a little excitedly: "Director Li, I like your movies so much, since "Source Code", there is an amazing sense of IQ in it, and then to "Inception", even if the audience is watching the movie, they have to think with their heads and see that I think you are too powerful......"
Li Donglai smiled happily: "Thank you!" But you must not have seen my comedy "The Hangover", which won the box office record of a B-grade comedy in the United States, it doesn't need to use its brains, and Brother Xu's upcoming movie "People Are in Embarrassment" is completely comparable to "The Hangover" "
Xu Zhen was embarrassed, saying that it was comparable to "The Hangover", which was too exalting him, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't you dare to compare like this, then I will die of shame"
Li Donglai added with a smile: "In my heart, their status is like this, no matter what others think of it, if you miss "The Hangover", you must not miss "People in Embarrassment", ......"
Ye Rong admired in his heart that he had the ability to change the topic of "People in Embarrassment" at the beginning, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have watched "The Hangover", and it is a pity that it is not the big screen Since Director Li said so, then I must watch "People in Embarrassment" a few more times."
"Thank you, call me Donglai, or call me 'Brother Donglai' is more kind" Li Donglai nodded with a smile, "Then I will collect your movie ticket money in advance"
"Haha, I'm so happy" Ye Rong responded freely, she was older than Li Donglai, and it was naturally inappropriate to call her 'Brother Donglai' and began to ask: "Li ...... Donglai, ha, shouting your short name suddenly has a feeling of rising status"
"Then let's call it that, in fact, I would prefer the host to call me by my nickname"
"Yes, don't think about it," Ye Rong said with slight disdain, "Donglai, let's start the interview, I heard that you were a trick in Hengdian when you were very young, it can be said that Hengdian is where you started, but looking at the works you shoot, all of them are American styles that domestic directors can't imitate, how did you do it?" ”
"Actually, it's not surprising, in 06 and 07, domestic movies didn't have the current momentum, Hollywood blockbusters are the audience's great love, I like movies, when I watch Hollywood blockbusters, maybe a little more curiosity, if it's me, how should I shoot over time, I get used to it, and then when I save enough money to shoot the first film, I naturally shoot like this, dig a story deeper, dig into the twists and turns, it's almost the same"
After a pause, he said: "In fact, some people in China regard Hollywood movies too sacred, so that even a group of audiences blindly worship me and tell everyone, Hollywood also has countless bad movies and they are super bad movies, the audience should choose good movies to cleanse their souls, don't be passively filled with garbage As for which movies are bad and which are good movies, there will be witnesses this month, you know"
"Puff ......"*3, when Li Dong said the last sentence, his eyebrows were raised one by one, so that the three people in the room couldn't help but laugh out loud, this is really amazing, and the topic was pulled back to "People in Embarrassment", and by the way, "Boom" "Turn: War" Isn't their slogan just "Tron: War".
Li Donglai is really talkative!
Ye Rong echoed with a smile, knowing that Li Donglai would bring up "People in Embarrassment" no matter what topic today, but she was still a little unwilling, and asked: "Then when you were a role actor, would you often meet some big names, such as Liu Yifei, Bingbing Fan, or Director Xu Zhen, what was it like at that time, after all, your current achievements have far surpassed many people."
Li Donglai didn't answer this question immediately, but pulled the topic to the other two who couldn't speak, "Brother Baoqiang has also been a trick before, how did you feel at the beginning?" ”
Wang Baoqiang scratched his head and said: "Actually, I don't feel that the director will do whatever he tells him to do, and if he does a good job, he will not necessarily have the next job, and if he doesn't do a good job, he will still get a salary and run to the next crew."
"Yes!"
Li Donglai clapped his hands and said: "That's it, in the eyes of the big names, they all join the crew, they have to eat boxed lunches, and they have to be called by the director, maybe I play the trick, but our mental status is not lower than that of the big names, and we don't have time to pay attention to which wrist is coming, but I occasionally hear that the big beauty star is coming, and maybe there will be onlookers, as for Brother Xu Zhen......" He pinched his chin and looked embarrassed to speak
Xu Zhen was amused, rolled his eyes and said funny: "I'm not at the level of onlookers, right, it's okay, you just say I'm not ashamed, anyway, you can't treat it as an ordinary person."
"Haha......" Li Donglai and Wang Baoqiang were amused together
