Chapter 262 won't blush
"I've seen Li Qian's mouth cannon a long time ago, he is not very old, his tone is not small, and it is not the first day I met him, he has always been so arrogant and ignorant. ”
On December 21, at the premiere ceremony of "Do Not Disturb 2" at the OCT Theater in Happy Valley, Beijing, Ma Xiaogang also responded to Li Qian's words of ignoring "Do Not Disturb 2".
In the face of dozens of reporters in the audience, nearly 100 industry insiders, actors, and thousands of audiences in the theater, Ma Xiaogang was not polite at all.
Li Qian was stunned in his head, and he was polite with a hammer.
What's more, after half a month of scolding, although it has stopped, Ma Xiaogang is very irritable in his heart, just a little bit.
Lao Paper is a big director with a box office of 600 million, and you still ignore me?
During the day, Ma Xiaogang was angry, especially netizens on the Internet, many of them agreed with Li Qian's words!
Ma Xiaogang didn't care about anything, and scolded the media for a while, which made the reporters in the audience extremely excited.
Materials, these are all materials, plus the box office battle, at the end of this year, it will be another news carnival, and the year-end bonus is proper, so you can have a fat year.
Seeing that Ma Xiaogang was about to scold enough, the reporters hurriedly asked, "Director Li has booked the box office champion for the Chinese New Year, and "I Am Legend" is also the first post-apocalyptic sci-fi blockbuster in China, Director Ma thinks that "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" has any advantages, and why should it compete with "I Am a Legend"?"
"Let's not talk about "I Am a Legend", the opponent of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" is "Let the Bullets Fly", what apocalyptic science fiction, and in my opinion, it is just a gimmick, just like his previous "Frequency of Life and Death", also under the banner of science fiction, in fact, it has nothing to do with it at all, and "The Moon", this time it is a science fiction film, the background is on the moon, but it is just hanging sheepskin and selling dog meat, the whole drama.
But whenever there is a little bit of sci-fi elements, there are sci-fi movies everywhere, and there are two love movies, which are also promoted in the name of sci-fi, which is a typical deception of the audience, this time I have also seen some of the trailers of "I Am Legend", and I don't see where there is a shadow of sci-fi, I advise everyone not to blindly follow the trend and keep your eyes open. ”
"Director Ma is not optimistic about "I Am a Legend", so how much does Director Ma think this movie will win at the box office?"
"Three or four billion, after all, the film market is big now. ”
"Then how much box office does Director Ma think "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" can get, and can it break the record of "Tangshan Earthquake"?"
Ma Xiaogang said quite proudly, "What do I teach myself, let's keep 600 million, and I also believe in the audience's vision." ”
The reporter added, "But, just like director Li Qian said, the filming and post-production of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" are in a hurry, and you are busy with "Tangshan Earthquake", how can you ensure the quality of the movie?"
"Huh. ”
Ma Xiaogang was not angry, and looked straight at the camera in the audience, as if Li Qian was opposite, "I have been in the industry for more than ten years, and I have been filming for more than ten years, and it is not the turn of young people to teach me how to film in this regard, some people don't think that they know everything after making two movies, as for the quality of the movie, the box office is the only data that can quantify a movie, and after the box office, you will know!"
......
The premiere was delayed for a while, and the whole process lasted almost 10 minutes, until Ma Xiaogang was a little annoyed and stopped, and the movie began to be screened.
Ma Xiaogang sat confidently in the audience, and after the film was screened, the audience's reaction did not disappoint him.
Starting from Ge Wei and Shu Qi's trial marriage, the first half of the two get along with a series of daily lives, and the typical horse-style humor makes sporadic laughter be heard on the scene from time to time.
The second half transforms from comedy to philosophy, talking about love and life and death at the same time, making the atmosphere more serious and serious.
Although the laughter could not be heard, Ma Xiaogang laughed, this is the effect he wants.
"Let the Bullets Fly" is called the perfect combination of art and business by fans, and his "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 2" is the same.
Love, marriage, life, torture life, this is art, the comedy attribute of the movie itself is business, thinking about life after laughing, isn't this the combination of art and business?
The premiere is over, and it's time to speak at the box office!
......
On the 22nd, "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" was officially released in China, as a new film, or Ma Xiaogang's comedy, the theater chain must be the focus of attention.
Even if "Let the Bullets Fly" was a big hit, it did not affect "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" at all, and directly accounted for 50% of the film schedule.
And after the premiere, various media and film critics praised it everywhere, and the audience did not hesitate to enter the cinema.
Huayang Media has also invested a huge amount of publicity, after all, the cost is not high, and most of the cost of advertising placement has been recovered, and some are money.
The day gradually passed, and in the afternoon, under the powerful propaganda offensive of Huayang, "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" was no worse than "Let the Bullets Fly" on the Internet.
The reviews about the movie are all praise.
"If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" is not just about love, the human thinking that is implemented throughout the movie is also the connotation beauty that is missing in the current domestic films.
Topics such as life and death, beauty and ugliness, love and marriage, make you laugh and cry after serious discussions, if you have a lover, you must take your other half to the cinema, the best domestic movie of the year, there is no one!"
"The first half of the movie is a first-class comedy, the second half is a first-class literary film, Ma Xiaogang made the best movie in his career, I think he can be like Jiang Wen now, say it loudly, stand and earn money!"
It's hard to imagine that Ma Xiaogang, who has always been criticized and cheesy, actually made such a deep movie, what is love, what is marriage, what does life and death mean, I have burst into tears after watching the movie. ”
......
A good reception was expected by Ma Xiaogang, and unlike a simple comedy movie, the theme of love and life and death has also been highly praised.
As early as the year before last, Ma Xiaogang was not only satisfied with the title of comedy master, he wanted to be a real film master, try more genres, and let outsiders know that he Ma Xiaogang was not only good at making comedy and engaging in art.
Looking at the outside world's evaluation of the movie with satisfaction, Ma Xiaogang really wanted to see Li Qian's expression at this time.
Li Qian's expression now is really similar to what Ma Xiaogang thought, and he looked confused.
??????
"What's going on?"
At the Olympic Sports Center, Li Qian, who was waiting for the premiere to start, swiped the news, and looked at the comments on the Internet about "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 2", and was a little confused.
Liu Ye and Yuan Quan next to them looked at Li Qian's appearance, and thought that seeing such a good evaluation of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", Li Qian was worried.
Liu Ye just wanted to speak, but he didn't expect Li Qian to smile again.
"I'll go. ”
Looking at the feature film evaluation that was swiped on the Internet, Li Qian was surprised, "This Huayang Media has made a lot of money, according to this, it is estimated that it will have to spend 40 or 50 million yuan to publicize it this time." ”
"Director Li, are you saying that this is all bought with money?" Liu Ye said a little puzzled.
"Or else?"
Li Qian said with a smile, "After so many years, don't you know Ma Xiaogang's reputation in the media and professional film critics, "Tangshan Earthquake" was immediately caught by the media and a group of general public figures because of a small number of voices questioning him at the beginning, and he was scolded vigorously, and his reputation was mixed.
Now that it has just been released, the first half of the movie is indeed a comedy, and the second half is to discuss life, love, and feel life and death, but it can't reach that high level at all. ”
There is no formed story in the whole movie at all, and the "literature and art" in the second half are all piled up with various situations, aerial photography and large close-ups at every turn, at best it is a metaphor, and those who don't know think it is a landscape film for the scenic spot.
The scene scheduling without ideas and the slightly lazy editing have some shadows of literary films.
However, the editing is scattered, the plot connection is not smooth, the sense of fracture before and after is serious, and there is no connection between scenes and paragraphs, and the second half directly becomes Sun Honglei's special performance.
It is said that Ma Xiaogang has not talked about funerals and faced death, but it is basically a mocking nature, he has never been so serious, so serious that the whole film only needs an old man's testimonial, and it doesn't matter if all other places are product placements.
At the end of the movie, it was even more outrageous, Sun Honglei sat upright alone, surrounded by everyone, and he began to read his feelings to the camera, and sent his friends to his daughter.
Li Qian suspects that Ma Xiaogang didn't put too much thought into this movie at all, it was more like Wang Yan's film, especially Sun Honglei's perception at the end, it sounded like Wang Shuo's perception, he didn't have a daughter.
Such a film that looks quite in-depth, but it doesn't seem to say anything, it's a mess, and if it can get the evaluation like it is now, then there is a ghost.
Moreover, this is the first day, and the golden time of the evening has not yet arrived, and the quantity and quality of this praise do not match at all.
It must have cost a lot of money to make so many media and film critics who have been spraying Ma Xiaogang turn their heads and praise him.
However, it is not surprising that "Let the Bullets Fly" seems to be aiming for the record of "Tangshan Earthquake", how can the other party not be pressured if there is such a big movie.
The same text in the previous part was not interesting to read, and Li Qian put down his mobile phone.
"First-class comedy, first-class literary films, the best movies of the year, I don't know if Ma Xiaogang will blush when he sees this. ”
Shaking his head, the time was almost up, and Li Qian took the actors to prepare to enter.
