Chapter 380: A new film is released
Gu Yi plans to send a video to the other party next, and he will go to the following to reply to one who knows.
He just wants to let the other party enjoy the feeling that this is enough for him to enjoy the traffic for the rest of his life, but he can't realize it.
However, during the period of waiting for the court to file the case, Gu Yi had already finished the promotion of "Witness".
The third interview, including the Mandarin side, also went well.
In a few days, Mandarin will announce the admission results.
This day is the premiere of "Witness", which is the day when the film is officially released.
"The response to our publicity is still very good, but I don't know if the audience will buy it after the official release."
In the hotel, Yu Feng was chatting with Gu Yi.
"Brother Feng, what's the matter with you? Now that so many movies have been successful, why do new movies still suffer from gains and losses? Calm down a little bit, now as long as you make a movie, as long as you shoot a realistic theme, you will basically not hit the street, at least this money is impossible to lose.
And a considerable number of movie audiences are actually a little hindsight, maybe some movies have a bad reputation when they are released, but it will be different when people turn it out in a few years, in short, as long as the spiritual core of the movie can meet people's spiritual needs, it is not much worse.
Especially this kind of exposing the darkness, as long as you don't engage in the Virgin Mary in the end, and don't come to a happy ending abruptly, you can basically pass the test. ”
Yu Feng smiled: "Alas, that's what I said, but after all, it's human, I will inevitably think like this in my heart, I'm just going to say it, in fact, I still like this movie, not to mention that I have been polishing this script for a long time, just saying that you spent nearly a year studying law on your own for this movie, it is impossible to be any worse." ”
Gu Yi nodded: "That's right, instead of thinking about what you have and don't have, it's better to think about the next movie." ”
But speaking of the next movie, Yu Feng also perfected the script according to the story Gu Yi said during this time.
"That makes sense, after the premiere tonight, let's go to your studio again, and I'll show you the script by the way."
The premiere went smoothly the following night, and the invited audience members also asked Gu Yi a lot of questions, including why Gu Yi spent so long studying law in order to make a movie.
"Actually, I answered this question in my live broadcast room before, as an actor, everyone may have more traffic than anyone at the beginning, but the further you develop, the more you fight, the strength and knowledge.
Sometimes even if you read the lines, others can tell if you are good or not, whether you are professional or not, and if the lines presented are not professional, the actor will naturally bear the brunt.
Besides, it doesn't hurt to learn more, I can pass the time by playing with my phone when I have nothing to do, and I can pass the time when I go shopping, but I don't have that much hobby about these things, so I can only study. ”
After answering this question, another student-looking person stood up and asked, "Gu Yi, I want to ask, haven't you been taking the National Theater exam recently?" How's it going? ”
"Mandarin just took the third interview two days ago, and the results should be out in a few days, as for whether I can be admitted, I don't know, I can only say that even if the results are not satisfactory, but at least I have worked hard."
In fact, Gu Yi knew that he could be admitted, but he had to speak safely now, otherwise he would definitely be taken out of context by some people.
After those people finished asking Gu Yi, they asked Yu Feng again.
"Director Yu, I like your movie very much, because my family has encountered a similar situation, but things have dragged on until now and there is no result, so I want to first wish "Witness" a box office hit.
Secondly, I want to ask, has Director Yu thought about what the theme or what type of theme will be for the next movie? ”
Yu Feng thought about it and then picked up the microphone: "The next movie has been thought of, but the next movie is Gu Yi's script, and Gu Yi will be the chief screenwriter at that time, but the specific subject matter is still open to me, it can only be said that it is a relatively novel theme in the film industry, and the style belongs to the kind that is more relaxed." ”
"Is Director Yu going back to comedy again? Actually, I really like to watch your comedies, although the latest two films also love to watch, but they are still too heavy in comparison. ”
Yu Feng smiled: "Indeed, these two movies can be regarded as my willful works, I can't watch it even if I can't stand it, so I directly gave me a script, but this script definitely has the potential to become a hit in my opinion, if I say that it can become a classic, it may be like a big talk, but I can assure you that this movie is absolutely good." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone was looking forward to it, but in addition to the expectations for this movie, they were also very curious that Gu Yi actually became a screenwriter again.
You must know that in Yu Feng's first two movies, Gu Yi also put his name on the screenwriter, which means that Gu Yi participated in the creation of the script.
But this time, Yu Feng directly said that Gu Yi is the chief screenwriter of the next movie.
After the premiere, Yu Feng and the others returned to the studio of the New Bee Band, speaking of which, he is also a frequent visitor to the studio, although he is old, but his mentality is still very young, and he can play with them.
Eating chicken feet, chicken wing tips, duck necks, crayfish, chatting, drinking beer, and taking a look at the real-time box office data by the way.
After a while, they talked a little more, and the others went back to their rooms to sleep.
Only Yu Feng and Gu Yi were still here.
They cleaned up the table, swept the floor, and then took the script and started reading it.
Gu Yi saw that the plot of "Charlotte's Troubles" in the entire script was still very restored, but some details were different.
Gu Yi compared these details with the original "Charlotte's Troubles" and found that it was relatively better than the original.
So he mentioned all these places.
After hearing this, Yu Feng also compared it in his heart, and in the end, 90% of them all adopted Gu Yi's statement, and the remaining 10% he felt that the current version was slightly better.
Gu Yi didn't think there was anything, anyway, the general tone and the famous scenes that should be there were all on the line.
As for the rest, it's pretty much the same.
Yu Feng wrote down all the changes to be made, and then they began to talk about the storyboard again.
In the filming of a movie, the script is very important because it is the skeleton of the movie itself, but the design of the sub-shots, the performance of the actors, the logistics of the costumes, etc., are the flesh and blood of the film.
First of all, in terms of color, Charlotte has just crossed the style of the eighties and nineties, and the overall tone is slightly darker and yellower.
After Gu Yi becomes famous, the saturation of the color can be adjusted to normal, but the filter still needs to be added.
The settings on the storyboard, where to use close-up, where to use still shot, where to use medium shot, they all all went over one by one.
Gu Yi kept thinking back to the original picture of the movie at that time.
Hearing this, Yu Feng couldn't help sighing: "Why do you say you're so awesome?" Do a line of work, good at a line, fortunately, you chose to be an actor and singer, if you go to be a director, I guess there will be nothing to do with me. ”
"Brother Feng, you see that you are saying these words again, have you drunk too much? What kind of director am I? I haven't studied. ”
"You don't learn more than I have learned, how can I be embarrassed? Anyway, I can see it, as long as there is something that can't be solved in the future, I can just find you. ”
"Don't don't, if you need me to do some hard work, it's okay, professional problems have to be professional people, I just have an occasional flash of inspiration." Gu Yi said modestly.
"Isn't the frequency of your flash of inspiration too high, other people's flash of inspiration is an idea that pops up every six months and a year, and your flash of inspiration is once a day, right?"
"It's a bit more frequent, but if I really want to make a movie, I still can't."
They talked all night in the conference room until the next morning when the others woke up, made some breakfast, and ate before going back to bed.
Passing by the screen in the conference room, I saw that the box office of yesterday's movie had reached more than 60 million.
And it's only the first day, and it's Thursday.
A lot of people have to go to work, and the real outbreak should be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
can get more than 60 million box office on this kind of working day, which is still very good.
Then he went online and took a look.
found that many viewers still have a high evaluation of "Witness", and they are all praising Yu Feng for really daring to shoot, and even daring to touch this kind of theme.
Because this kind of theme will be sent to the palace if it is not done well, and when it is taken out again, it will have been changed beyond recognition.
This is also the reason why many famous directors' movies have achieved good results after their release, but their reputation is not ideal.
Sometimes it's not that screenwriters and directors are too brain-dead, but there are really a lot of things that can't be released, otherwise if they are completely liberalized, the domestic film and television industry is estimated to be no worse than foreign countries.
But if it is completely liberalized, it will cause many TV series and movies to begin to go in the direction of erotic horror, after all, Chinese culture has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and just taking out the things of the ancients is enough to shoot for a lifetime.
What "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", "Three Words and Two Beats", "Fengshen Bang", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Dream of Red Mansions" and so on.
In "Liao Zhai", three or four stories can be fused into one movie, but there are dozens of them.
"Fengshen Bang" can make a lot of big movies from beginning to end, and then everyone can be taken out separately to continue filming.
Not to mention the rest.
There are countless various derivative works of "Three Kingdoms" alone.
Maybe these things alone won't be enough for a lifetime.
However, the reputation of "Witness" is very good, which makes Yu Feng, who got up at noon, feel very pleased.
But now that we have talked about it, and the box office on the first day has also been watched, Yu Feng returned to the magic capital in the afternoon, preparing for the post-promotion after the release of the film, as well as some interviews and script revisions for "Charlotte's Troubles".
In addition, Starlight's publicity department helped write some advertorials, and then found some bloggers and self-media accounts to share their impressions.
Of course, since it was spent, the feeling after watching it must be praised.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yi began to prepare for the promotion of "Dawn".
However, while waiting, the list of Mandarin was also announced.
Gu Yi was admitted to Mandarin with the first ranking, and there were also two stars who have been more popular in the past two years in their group, and the rest are similar to Gu Yi's senior brothers and sisters when they were in graduate school, and they have no plans to enter the entertainment industry directly.
Instead, he plans to be admitted to the theater first, and then develop in drama, and then go to film and television dramas as an actor if he has the opportunity in the future.
But looking at this list, Gu Yi suddenly had a doubt in his heart.
Gu Yi has seen all the people in this exam, but there is a traffic star Gu Yi who has no impression at all, although the other party has only become popular in the past two years, and he is on variety shows and acting in movies, but he has never cooperated with Gu Yi before, Gu Yi only knows the other party's name and knows what the other party looks like.
But he can be sure that the man didn't take the test at all.
Gu Yi also discussed this matter with others, and finally unanimously came to the conclusion that this process may be a bit problematic.
At least the relationship between the other party must be quite in place, otherwise the Mandarin admission in this world is so strict, how can it be possible to enter directly without taking the exam?
It's just that Gu Yi won't ask about this kind of thing in public, after all, he is also a member of the system now, and the other party has not affected him.
But after Gu Yi was admitted, he went back to the school, thanking Wen Jinhong, although he said that he was admitted to the exam, but Wen Jinhong did help a lot before.
By the way, he asked about it again, but Wen Jinhong shook his head: "It's hard to say this kind of thing, after all, the theater is not something we can say, and we are at most a middle-level with more seniority, and there are many leaders above." ”
Gu Yi nodded, thinking to himself, it seems that even in this world, this kind of thing will inevitably happen.
Instead of thinking about this, it is better to take a look at what kind of results your film has now.
"Witness" has already received a box office of 290 million after three days of release, and the first day was more than 60 million, but on the second day and Friday, many people will have a weekend off, so many people have entered the cinema, and the box office has risen directly to more than 90 million, and on the third day, the single-day box office exceeded 100 million and reached 130 million.
Most of them are also praised, although there are some strict audiences who have found some faults, but how can there be movies that are all praises throughout the ages?
Even "The Shawshank Redemption" used to have some people give a bad review of one or two stars, let alone now.
But as long as the proportion is within a certain range, it is acceptable.
Three days after its release, the Douban score of "Witness" was already 8.2.
As long as the follow-up does not collapse and no one maliciously hacks, this score is estimated to rise slightly.
However, at present, "Witness" is temporarily at the top of the current box office and ratings.
The next thing is to see if other movies will be effective in the medium term.
But generally speaking, the movie doesn't work until the middle of the year, either it's suddenly marketed out of the circle, or it's bought with money. (End of chapter)
