Chapter 292: The Movie Premieres
"I understand, teacher" Luo Yang listened to Chen Yimou's words, nodded with a smile.
"It's good to get it"! Chen Yimou stood up and said with a smile: "This movie is really good, even an old man like me more, I think young people will like it very much, maybe there will really be a box office dark horse."
"I hope so, I borrowed the teacher's good words", Luo Yang smiled.
"Okay, take me to your company to go around, by the way, I remember that you still have a special effects studio, how is it now", Chen Yimou thought of this.
"It's not bad, it's just that the current financial investment is not enough, and compared with foreign special effects studios, there may be some gaps, but the general special effects can be completed, such as the mobile phone text message narration in the movie "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", etc., are all made by them", Luo Yang said with a smile: "Teacher, do you want to take a look."
"Okay, it's okay, let's go and see", Chen Yimou also wanted to see how Luo Yang's special effects studio was formed.
Just go, Luo Yang drove Chen Yimou and Luo Yang in the car, came to the Poplar Special Effects Studio, and when he entered the studio, he saw that many people were busy, Luo Yang's loan funds this time In addition to the film company's capital, he invested 10 million in the studio, and Li Jing used his connections to pull a lot of talents in this area abroad.
Introduced Li Jing to Chen Yimou, Luo Yang took Chen Yimou to the production room, the staff inside were busy with the animation CG production of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" arranged by Luo Yang, Chen Yimou watched with interest as these people edited out one picture after another, zuihou Li Jing asked the staff to play it again, and showed Chen Yimou to watch, only to see Li Xiaoyao's sword trick in the picture, and suddenly the sword on his back suddenly became larger, carrying Li Xiaoyao through the sea of clouds
"Well, it's very interesting", Chen Yimou said with great interest: "What is this"?
"A game called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which is a fragment of the main character Li Xiaoyao's sword flying", Luo Yang said with a smile, "This is the studio's recent work".
Chen Yimou nodded, indicating that he knew
Sending Chen Yimou away, Luo Yang and Zhao Yang and others invested in a wave of publicity for the movie, Luo Yang and several leading actors frequently appeared on various TV programs to promote this movie, for Luo Yang's urban light comedy, everyone is more and more impressed, in addition to Luo Yang's fans, most people are more concerned about Luo Yang is the director of "The Ninth District", and being able to write a classic plot like "The Ninth District" is enough to show Luo Yang's screenwriting ability, so many people are also leaving messages on the Internet, as long as they have time, will go to the cinema to watch this Luo Yang's work.
It's fast to January 11, and at 7 p.m., "33 Days of Broken Love" will premiere at Crimson Cinemas in TH province, and the film will also be released simultaneously across the country today.
Released on January 11, although the schedule is not very good, there is still a haode advantage, that is, there are no blockbusters released during this period of time, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" with this cast is enough to sweep any film released at the same time, which is also the only thing that can comfort Luo Yang and other cast and crew.
But things have come to this, Luo Yang doesn't think much about it, as long as it is a good movie, Luo Yang believes that even if the schedule is a little bad, it will not have much impact on this movie, as long as the reputation is good, it can attract other audiences who are temporarily unavailable to the cinema, this movie was a box office dark horse on the earth in the last life, and it still hasn't been promoted much, and there are no big-name stars, the cast and crew invited by Luo Yang in this life, coupled with the investment in publicity, has fully overwhelmed the original version of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", and I believe the effect will be much better than in the previous life.
On the red carpet in front of the Crimson Cinema, since the afternoon, many reporters have begun to wait here, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" still has some popular actors, such as Zhang Fei , Lin Yun, these are all actors who are very popular with the audience, plus Luo Yang is such a super popular director, how can reporters not hurry up to grab a position.
As the producer of this movie, Luo Yang and they must of course appear as soon as possible, not only to arrive before the guests, but also to appease the reporters on the scene, after all, many things are still in the hands of these uncrowned kings.
Therefore, at around half past four in the afternoon, Luo Yang appeared at the door of the Crimson Cinema with the main creators of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love".
As soon as everyone got out of the car, they were immediately discovered by sharp-eyed reporters, and a group of media reporters immediately rushed up, first with a wild shot, which almost dazzled Luo Yang and his party, but fortunately, everyone was prepared and hurriedly put on sunglasses.
After everyone finished taking photos, Luo Yang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, let us go first, don't block the intersection, we will be interviewed by you later."
Hearing that Luo Yang would be interviewed, these reporters also reasoned to get out of the way, and did not continue to block Luo Yang and his party, Luo Yang and his party breathed a sigh of relief, first get out of the way, and then separate, the reporter is willing to interview that, just interview that.
Of course, Luo Yang is the highlight of the reporters on the scene, and when Luo Yang walked to an open place, he was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters, and all kinds of questions suddenly came one after another, making Luo Yang dizzy for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, so he hurriedly said: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, you ask so, who should I answer"?
The reporters also knew that they couldn't ask anything if they asked like this, so everyone discussed a few words in a low voice and began to ask questions in turn.
"Director Luo, hello, I've seen the promotional trailer of your movie, this is a healing movie, probably about the broken love, may I ask if this movie will make people feel very depressed like "District 9"? There is also the term healing movie, which was first proposed by Director Luo, what does it mean"? Because "District 9" written by Luo Yang makes people feel very depressed, many people are afraid that this movie is the same as "District 9", so it is not unusual for this reporter to ask this question first.
"Healing movies,Probably means,Use relaxed,Soothing pictures or music,Warm people's hearts,Purify the soul,Watch movies that can comfort the soul when you're sad,In fact, this concept is not the first thing we proposed.,Healing-related content has been on shijie for a long time.,It's just that the impact is not great.,Everyone doesn't pay much attention to it.,So since that's the meaning.,This movie definitely won't make people feel depressed.,It's also my compensation because of "District 9" This movie is a relaxing product that hurts everyone's soul, and everyone can watch it with a relaxed attitude", Luo Yang explained to reporters with a smile.
Hearing Luo Yang's explanation, the reporters all nodded, it seems that this is a light-hearted movie, and everyone has recorded it in the book.
"Director Luo's film is your first film, what is your box office expectation for this movie"?
Hearing this question, Luo Yang was not polite, and said with a smile: "I am very confident in this movie, so I expect the box office of this movie to be about 300 million, and there is no bottom cover."
When Luo Yang said this, he was obviously very confident, and he calmed down the reporters for a while, with a guarantee of 300 million, no back cover, how big Luo Yang's tone was, according to the reporters present, the investment in the publicity of this movie investors is about 20 million, according to the general box office theorem, the box office income of this movie can be 70 or 80 million, which is good, and if there is 100 million, it is a box office dark horse, but Luo Yang came lightly with a guarantee of 300 million, the tone is too big, you must know that there are many blockbusters with an investment of hundreds of millions, Zuihou's box office revenue did not exceed 300 million, how can it be so simple to get so much box office.
If you meet an ordinary director, these reporters are estimated to be directly cynical, and they haven't woken up from their dreams, but Luo Yang put forward this box office projection, and many reporters are a little afraid to question it, mainly because Luo Yang made a bet with the media last time, so that too many media broke their glasses and lost a mess, fortunately, Luo Yang did not pursue these things, everyone only had a few days of comfortable life, the so-called lessons from the past, the teacher of the future, the media was not willing to bet with Luo Yang, so I heard Luo Yang's answer, The reporter just buried his head in recording what Luo Yang said, and when the time came, the audience didn't believe it, that was their business, anyway, the media didn't want to continue to work thanklessly in it.
"Director Luo, when do you expect the box office of this movie to exceed the goal of 300 million", another reporter asked.
This question is not very easy to answer, Luo Yang thought about it, Zuihou still said: "Three or four weeks", the release date of this movie is about 30 days, and three or four weeks is also considered the later stage of the movie, and reaching a box office of 300 million is not much to brag.
This time, many reporters did not speak, but looked at Luo Yang with disbelieving eyes, this movie is drawn, it is difficult to say whether there can be 300 million, and if you want to reach a box office of 300 million in three or four weeks, fool us like children?
Regarding the reaction of these reporters, Luo Yang said a little helplessly: "The time of the film is not to see how much investment, the key is to look at its quality, I am very confident in my film, I believe that this goal can be achieved."
The reporters glanced at each other and did not speak, but silently wrote down what Luo Yang said.
Next, these reporters asked Luo Yang about these messy things, which made Luo Yang a little helpless, and really wanted not to accept interviews with these reporters, but after thinking about it, this is not bad, anyway, the reporter reported it, which can be regarded as helping Luo Yang and improving the exposure rate of this movie, so Luo Yang was also patient and patiently answered the reporter's questions, which made the reporter a little flattered, these reporters' impression of Luo Yang is not very easy to speak, I didn't expect to be interviewed so happily today.
The interview lasted for about half an hour, and when the reporter had no questions to ask, Luo Yang also proposed to the reporter to end the interview, because many guests came, Luo Yang, as the investor and director of this play, of course had to greet him, and these reporters also asked what they wanted, so they happily dispersed and continued to interview other stars.
