Chapter 514: Movie Warm-up
Mingdai has been busy lately.
It's August, and "Heavenly Demon" is about to be released, because she was not optimistic about the previous mess, as the main creator, she had to spend more energy to promote the movie and stir up the audience's expected popularity.
Of course, she is not the only one who works hard, the crew of the crew, from the director to the actors to the publicity, basically none of them are idle, and everyone works overtime until two or three o'clock every day.
Ming Dai's highest record is that she flew to three cities in two days, all to catch up with the itinerary, and there are also movie roadshows, and the whole person is like a spinning top that spins fast, without stopping.
Ming Dai was so tired that she fell asleep when she got in the car, and she was even in a daze when she checked in for the boarding pass, and she almost fell asleep leaning on Xiao Ai......
However, after this busyness, I have to say that the results are remarkable.
"Heavenly Demon", which was not optimistic about the originally, because of the attention brought by the mudslide incident some time ago, and the bonus of Ming Dai's own fame, now the expectation index on a certain platform has risen to the second place.
second only to the movie "Breaking the Array" starring Shen Qinghe.
That's right, this time the schedule of "Heavenly Demon" will collide with "Breaking Array", and it is not an ordinary collision, but even the premieres of the two movies are on the same day!
This situation makes many people dream back to the situation when "Twin Lotus" was released, which was also the premiere and hit a big production, and it was also not favored before the release......
It's just that this time, few people think that the movie starring Ming Dai can repeat the grand occasion of "Twin Lotus".
First of all, the influence of "Twin Lotus" has faded with time, and many people have unspeakable thoughts and begin to attribute the success of the movie to the family history of director Yan Jiaxue, to the other heroine Chu Yunping's ten years of sharpening a sword, and to the actor Xu Ji's Puyu to see the light of day...... Anyway, he drew a line with Ming Dai and thought that the success of the movie had nothing to do with Ming Dai.
Secondly, the two movies that collided with "Twin Lotus" before are fundamentally comparable to "Breaking Array" starring Shen Qinghe this time, they are both big productions, but there is also a gap between big productions and big productions.
Shen Qinghe starred in the historical film "Breaking the Array" with a big male lead, telling the growth of the heroes in troubled times, the starring lineup is so luxurious that even the small supporting roles are second-tier actors with names and surnames, and the director is Han Dafeng!
Han Dafeng, one of the five directors, is different from Tan Wenwen, who is now infamous and expelled from the top five directors, Han Dafeng can completely wrestle with Yan Hao in terms of resume and directing level!
At the beginning, it was said that Yan Hao was one of the top directors in China, so it was Han Dafeng who competed with him for this one or two.
has the golden sign of Han Dafeng, and it is a historical theme that he is good at, basically no one thinks that this movie will leak, on the contrary, everyone has high expectations!
The public and the industry are highly unified with the two movies, just like the expectation index of a certain platform, people who are optimistic about "Breaking the Array" can completely kill "Heavenly Demon"!
So, when everyone was speculating how many box office records "Breaking the Array" could break this time, they commented on "Heavenly Demon" very implicitly - 'You can drink soup if you can't eat it', 'After all, it is a blockbuster ceiling, and you can understand it when you hit the street', 'Ming Dai is young, she doesn't care about temporary gains and losses, and she can afford to pounce'......
Not to mention, even Ming Dai's own fans Xiao Mingdeng have this mentality, and even the external saying is 'Dai Dai, as a junior, is an honor to be able to compete with her predecessors in the same schedule, even if she loses, she is not ashamed, young people just have to try more'......
Although they were ridiculed by some opponents for saving their dignity in advance, they also pinched their noses and didn't move, and thought so from the bottom of their hearts.
……
"Don't be so discouraged."
Ming Dai flipped through the comments below the promotional tidbits of "Heavenly Demon" and sighed helplessly.
To be honest, she really trusts the quality of "Heavenly Demon" 100%, and even after watching the finished film, she firmly gave an evaluation in her heart, feeling that the final result is better than "Heavenly Demon" in her previous life!
Unnecessary lines are eliminated, and the heroine's characters and background story are fleshed out, making the whole story more in-depth and twisty, more attractive, and the overall degree of completion is higher.
Although Ming Dai does not dare to guarantee that the box office of "Heavenly Demon" can reach the level of the first box office record in history in her previous life, she feels that it will not be any worse, at least not worse than the box office of "Twin Lotus", and that will be considered a return to the cost for "Heavenly Demon"!
As for Director Han's "Breaking Array", ......
Ming Dai has eaten the dividends of the reborn, and she already knows the ending of this movie in advance-
This is the Waterloo of Director Han's career, the highest-investment blockbuster in the history of the Chinese film industry, and finally ended up with no return, the company that invested in it originally belonged to a first-line film production company, which was as famous as Jiahe Pictures, but directly embarked on the road of bankruptcy after this movie.
The famous Director Han started a quiet time of nearly seven years after that, tried and failed repeatedly, and lost a lot in the field of commercial films, and no investor dared to invest money in him later.
It wasn't until seven years later that director Han Dafeng relied on a small-budget cult to break out of the encirclement as a dark horse, with a new consciousness and style, and regained praise and returned to the altar.
But that was seven years later, and now Han Dafeng, because he was carried away by fame and fortune, is like a mediocre emperor in his later years, overconfident in his ability, and he will never wake up without falling a big heel.
And this big heel is close at hand.
But the schedule of "Heavenly Demon" was set at the same time as "Breaking the Array", which was really not intentional by Ming Dai.
Ming Dai can't remember the specific time at all, except that she vaguely remembers that "Breaking the Array" was released this summer.
So much so that the release schedule of "Heavenly Demon" was set first, and "Breaking Array" was set later.
It's just that Ming Dai is not sure whether "Breaking the Array" will follow the old path of the previous life.
Because the starring role of "Breaking Array" in his previous life was not Shen Qinghe at all, this time, somehow, he was pulled to play the leading role of "Breaking Array", and at the same time took on the expectations of the whole movie.
Doesn't he know the ending of "Breaking the Array"? How can it be! He probably knew more than Ming Dai, after all, in the world of the previous life, the resources that the two of them came into contact with were not of the same level.
"Maybe he just knew that "Breaking Array" had the ability to turn losses into profits, and deliberately joined this project, intending to turn the tide."
Ming Dai muttered, feeling that this was something that Shen Qinghe could do.
He is a man who values his career more than anything else, driven by great ambition and must move to a higher position.
Now that there is such a good opportunity to be reborn in front of him, will he give it up?
Mingdai was too lazy to care.
