Chapter 82: It's All About Topics

Promoting a movie, in essence, is to let people know that a movie is coming out.

The most traditional way is to report in the media...

With so many movies every year, why does the media report on you?

Even if it's reported, why should it keep the audience interested?

So, hype is needed.

It doesn't matter if it's a fried cp or a hype feeling, there must be a hype!

Therefore, every time a new film is released, Feng Xiaogang will make trouble, do you think he has a lot of things? In fact, he is building momentum!

What to do with Manslaughter?

Starring Gong Li, the perfect crime movie...

And then what?

What's the appeal?

Starring Gong Li, is it comparable to Zhou Runfa + Gong Li + Zhou Jielun 10 days later?

It's all about watching movies, so why not spend the same amount of money and watch a blockbuster movie with a lot of stars?

Yes, "Manslaughter" is a good movie, and it can win by quality...

But don't forget, in just ten days, "Golden Armor" will be released nationwide on the 14th, which means that enough topics must be created two days before the release to attract the audience's interest...

The contradiction between Gong Li and Liu Xiaoqing... It's okay to hype it up!

What?

They appreciate each other and there is no contradiction?

How could it be!

The essential... Some time ago, when Liu Xiaoqing participated in the recording of "Very Drama", he publicly said that 'the best actress in China is me, and I don't want to compare with Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi'

Moreover, last year, she also heard Huang Jianzhong reprimand Zhang Yu, "This kind of ugly behavior is like a rat droppings, destroying the original clean pot of porridge, this person has an ugly mentality, is scheming, and can't even be a person, in fact, she has never really joined this circle." In order to survive in the acting industry for a long time, the most fundamental thing is to be a good person first. ’

Well, it's the same as Bai Ye teaching Han Han, 'You are not a person in the literary world'...

The difference is that Zhang Yu's influence is definitely not as good as Han Han!

But... Liu Xiaoqing is here, so a reporter asked Shen Xudong about the 'unspoken rules'...

"I don't deny that there's something in Vanity Fair and the spotlight that people can't see, after all, it's a very competitive circle... A suitable character with a likable personality can be remembered by the audience..."

Shen Xudong thought for a while and replied seriously: "Which circle has the most fame and fortune, which circle will attract the most flies, one after another, flock to it." The so-called flies refer to those who have no artistic pursuits, but take the pursuit of fame, fortune and food as their first priority, and I have always felt that there is no particularly dirty circle anyway, and only some people in the circle are dirty. ”

"Flies?"

"Yes!" Shen Xudong continued: "High-quality projects, mainstream film and television resources, who can you sleep with to get the role?" I don't think anyone would believe it! ”

Liu Xiaoqing interjected: "That's it, that Zhang Yu is simply a clown who jumps off the beam..."

"I think it's the atmosphere in Hong Kong and Taiwan that has damaged us..."

Lin Lingdong hurriedly said: "There are no unspoken rules in Hong Kong and Taiwan!" ”

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Director, don't talk, who doesn't know that Hong Kong movies have a gimmick to become famous... A bunch of stars have acted in tertiary films... For the sake of money and fame, people are willing to do anything, be a junior for the rich, and be willing to be fostered... Not to mention the unspoken rules..."

Liu Xiaoqing also helped: "It's just..."

Lin Lingdong was stunned and had nothing to say...

Alright, stop there!

There are enough topics, and if we continue to talk about it, we will have to involve the system or something...

……

"There's no way, our movie is a crime suspense film, in comparison, the audience is more willing to watch blockbusters, suspense films, and discs in the theater..."

"So, I need to create a conversation that I can talk about... When the movie is officially released, I believe everyone's attention will be focused on the movie itself! ”

Shen Xudong explained to Lin Lingdong the reason why he didn't choose what to say...

He still respects Lin Lingdong quite a bit and is a good director.

Lin Lingdong waved his hand: "It's okay, I know, the movie, the most important thing is to sell well, it's very cruel, you have it, you don't have it..."

"That's... Watch a movie. ”

The story of "Manslaughter" is to move the role of the male protagonist to the heroine, Gong Li plays Ayu, her husband died, she pulled the family alone, opened a video hall, and she is a movie fan...

Living in a border town full of smuggling and trafficking activities, various powers are intertwined to crush fairness and justice.

Ayu's eldest daughter Pingping was forcibly forced by the inspector's son, and killed the other party by mistake in the resistance...

Ayu had witnessed the abuse of lynching by the chief inspector and knew that the law was useless. In order to protect her daughter and defend her family, Ayu buried her body to cover up all the evidence, and in the staggered gap of time and space, she fought to the death with the police at the physical and mental levels.

Lin Lingdong's shot scheduling is very good, and the rhythm control is a must, the first twenty minutes enter the theme, and then he gets rid of the crime!

After watching it, the film critics at the scene were stunned: the subject matter is too bold, the perfect crime, and the ending is also very exciting: the police station is completed, Gong Li said to the newly appointed police chief (Hui Yinghong cameo) "I believe that you and your police station will always protect us who are kind", accompanied by an uplifting BGM, she turned around and walked out of the police station, and the phantom appeared, carrying a cement bag and a shovel... Explains where the victim is buried.

"I went, didn't turn myself in?"

"This... It's too bold, isn't it, how did you pass the trial? ”

By the way, how did you pass the trial?

It's very simple, Gong Li won the prize... and "Manslaughter" was released as a Hong Kong-Thailand co-production...

The most important thing is that this movie is directed by Lin Lingdong - at this stage, we are still very tolerant of well-known directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan, otherwise, why would "Drug War" be released?

The audience was already very satisfied - "Manslaughter" is indeed a high-quality movie, on all levels.

……

At the end of the movie, the creators were warmly welcomed.

The audience and reporters at the scene were all enthusiastic to ask questions, and Lin Lingdong also answered all the questions: "It was the script that moved me, I have been discussing making a movie with Xu Ke before... When I saw the script of "Manslaughter", I immediately decided to shoot this! ”

"No, Xudong just said that 100 minutes is fine, and there is no need to show the system too much..."

"Later, the subtitle was added by the distributor... said that it could be reviewed. ”

"I think that since I want to develop in the north, I must follow the system here, and "Manslaughter" is so expensive, with a cost of 40 million, I was also worried about the scale when filming... But Xudong said, don't be too pessimistic when making movies..."

Shen Xudong explained: "If you shoot it first, you need to change it, and then we will change it... Anyway, the theme of this movie is here, and we changed the setting to Thailand..."

"The box office... I have always felt that Chinese audiences should watch feature films, "Manslaughter" is definitely a very good feature film, I originally expected 150 million..."Golden Armor" dares to blow 400 million, then I will set 200 million! ”

"In terms of lineup, we don't lose to "Golden Armor"... Zhou Yunfa is an international superstar, he can't play the leading role in Hollywood! ”
