Chapter 6: First of all, a Good Movie! (4/5)

"I'm a screenwriter, I think a story is almost there, that's fine, add it, there's no point..."

Shen Mengxi also came to the stage and chatted about his feelings...

The people present are all old birds, Guo Fan has also experienced "My Girlhood", and he knows very well what he can talk about at the premiere.

It's nothing more than talking about the filming process, talking about the experience, and then pulling the ticket casually.

The next Q&A time for reporters is quite interesting.

"Guo Fan used to make youth films, why is he so confident in him?"

"A masterpiece is just a sign of success in a certain field. Then I didn't make a movie before I made "Manchester by the Sea"... A person's inner temperament and ability are sometimes inconsistent with his external performance, as long as you can see his sincerity! Guo Fan is ambitious and sincere in the science fiction movie genre, so I will leave it to him!"

"What do you think of the Chinese audience's requirements for domestic sci-fi films?"

"Today's times are different, science fiction fans must have watched a lot of science fiction films, I think the important thing is sincerity, the sincerity that the audience can feel!"

"Why do you have to make a sci-fi movie?"

“... Science fiction movies represent the level of the film industry, we must transform into a film power, and domestic science fiction films must be done. ”

"What do you want to express with Heartbreaker?"

"I hope to plant the seeds of science fiction for Chinese children, and pay tribute to those nameless sad people in history!"

After a pause, he added: "Not every scientist gets a fair judgment... There are many great inventors who made inventions while they were alive and had a significant impact on the world long after they died. ”

......

The first screening of "Heartbreaker" ended, which immediately sparked a lot of discussion.

In fact, "Heartbreaker" is not science fiction at all - from the movie, the content related to science fiction is just a time and space conversion back to the past - this is a setting that has been used countless times, and it has long been rotten on the street, and there is no creativity to speak of.

Other than that, it's a science fiction that couldn't be softer. Except for space-time transformation and the grand unified equation, there are hardly any science-related words, and even the protagonist's book "Microcontinuity Theory" is probably the author's head to come up with a pat on the head!

But this, including what the film presents, brings people to think - can the greatness that transcends the times really only be a tragedy?

In this selfish world, there are still some things, they are so white and flawless;

"The Broken Heart" tells us three things: one is the love of our parents, the second is the pursuit of truth, and the third is the dream buried in our hearts!

- There are some things that you shouldn't expect too much in return, and you shouldn't ask them to grow beautiful leaves and flowers, because they are roots.

Many old readers of "The Sadder" have popularized the three short stories of "Science Fiction World": "The Sadder", "The Country Teacher", and "Bring Her Eyes", each of which is touching with emotion...

Of course, more people gave praise - Douban opened the painting with 8.3 points;

"Finally filmed "Heartbreaker", and domestic sci-fi began to take off!"

"A very sad story. It's not so much a science fiction story as it is a science fiction story, and it's also a blueprint for a movie that can be done well with modern technology. Reminiscent of "A Beautiful Mind". ”

"The poetry of soft sci-fi is full of emotion!"

"I suddenly thought of the sentence 'Heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, eternity is like a long night', which is probably what it means!"

There are also many questions: "What kind of science fiction is this, it is clearly a story, naïve, and cliché!"

"This movie clearly tells the story of a poor man with high IQ and low EQ who was robbed of his beautiful girlfriend by a brother who started a business, and this so-called genius wrote a masterpiece, no one asked in the world, and it was found to be a major breakthrough after death... Excuse me, where is the sci-fi?"

"I don't understand, it's obviously a song of maternal love, why do you force it to press the name of science fiction? As science fiction, where can you see a little bit of imagination?"

It's normal to be controversial ...

"Farewell My Concubine" is also controversial - when filming "Farewell My Concubine", the actors of the entire crew from young children to Zhang Guorong were tortured again, and Lao Chen asked the young actors to "be beaten really when they are beaten." So a young actor from a five-generation Liyuan family slapped himself nineteen times until the corners of his mouth bleed, Zhang Fengyi did not escape being spanked and sent to the infirmary, in order to shoot the effect of Chen Dieyi being ravaged, the director went up to "kiss" Zhang Guorong...

From this point of view, this movie is really perverted!

In the Internet era, who dares to do this, wait to be sprayed to death.

The biggest problem with "Heartbreaker" is, of course, that it is not sci-fi enough!

But...

Who stepped on the horse and stipulated that science fiction movies must spend a lot of money and bombard the audience's eyes with visual effects?

"Death Illusion", "K-Star Stranger", "Hacker from Another Dimension", "Chrono Contact" including "This Man is from Earth", are there any special effects?

The quality of "Heartbreaker" is already very high, at least at the level of the above works...

didn't need Shen Mengxi to come out, and many fans of "Heartbreaker" immediately retorted: "No one stipulates that science fiction movies must have aliens and big special effects!"

"That is, "Heartbreaker" is a good movie first, and then a good science fiction movie!"

......

Guo Fan took Hu Ge and Jiang Wenli to start the roadshow publicity, and it was on campus...

Seek to expand its impact.

After all, the Hollywood blockbusters "Fury of the Gods" and "Alien Battlefield" are still in theaters, and these two films account for 38% of the film schedule, Peng Haoxiang's "Chunjiao and Zhiming" adds Xu Zheng and Wan Qian, and there are also 10% of the film schedule...

The schedule of "Heartbreaker" is 30%, which completely relies on Mengxi's distribution ability + Hu Ge's appeal.

But if the box office is not strong, it will still be cut off the film schedule.

As a domestic science fiction movie, the biggest advantage of "Heartbreaker" in publicity is the cooperation of policies - it can be publicized on campus.

Focusing on students, the main group of moviegoers, and spreading word-of-mouth through student groups, so as to achieve better publicity effects.

Of course, in order to form a scale effect offline, the "two-station run" model was adopted, and the main creators were arranged to act separately, and a roadshow was held in two cities at the same time in one day.

In addition to the three main creators of Beijing Station, Shanghai Station and Shenzhen Station, other cities, basically one city and one main creator lead several supporting roles...

There's no way, there are too many Hollywood blockbusters, and the industrial level can't be compared, so you can only fight for exposure...

The main thing, "Titanic 3D" will be released in four days!

Therefore, there is not much time left for "The Sadder" to gather - waiting for word-of-mouth fermentation, perhaps, "Titanic" has been released.

Shen Mengxi also took a few interviews and talked about science fiction movies and why they wanted to make "Heartbreaker"...
