Chapter 308 opens the screening!
In a screening room of China Film Group, "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which has not yet been submitted for review, has just been screened.
"Dong Han, how is it?" asked Li Qian.
"The scale is very well grasped, and there is almost nothing wrong with it. ”
Of course, Han Sanping knew that Li Qian was not asking about how the movie was made, but about the scale, but he still couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, before today, I didn't think that the finished film would be like this." ”
Li Qian shook his head, "I can only shoot like this, and I'm satisfied to be able to release it." ”
This kind of subject, whether it is more dramatic conflict or more realistic, can be filmed more exciting, deeper, and more powerful, but it can't be filmed.
Li Qian didn't want to go abroad to win awards, to sell them to Europeans, if it can't be released, it makes no sense to shoot it.
"This is enough, the film has both power and the elements of a commercial blockbuster, and for a realistic film, there is no film that can be compared. ”
Han Sanping sighed with emotion, as the helmsman of the leading boss of a state-owned film and television company, he used to be a director, and he has seen more movies, this kind of theme, he can think of many plots with his eyes closed.
However, in terms of business, auditing, and impact to achieve perfect coordination, Han Sanping thought that he couldn't think of it, and he hadn't seen it.
"This time you are even better than "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen still can't change that temper, I'm a little worried about his next movie. Han Sanping said.
Li Qian shook his head, "From the perspective of director's professionalism and technology, there is still a big gap between "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and "Let the Bullets Fly", and I am still clear about this. ”
"That's right. Han Sanping didn't refute, and said again, "However, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will be easier to sell, and I now believe that this movie can sell for one billion!"
"It's 1.3 billion. Li Qian said.
"Then I'll wait. Han Sanping smiled,
Plain and straightforward, no show-off, everything is in the service of a flat and straightforward, simple story, no trickery.
is also the biggest feature of Li Qian's previous films, if you want to talk about skills and directing level, Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, and Jiang Wen are not far superior to Li Qian.
However, high-level directors don't tell stories in a down-to-earth manner, emphasizing connotation and skills, and in this era when audiences have many choices, they prefer a good story.
Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Divide" only compromised halfway, if the story was also made simple and straightforward, last year's "Let the Bullets Fly" and "I Am a Legend" should have been a tragic box office battle, not "I Am a Legend".
However, after the great success, with Han Sanping's understanding of Jiang Wen, I am afraid that he will be restless again.
Shake your head, don't think about anything else, and get back to business.
"Wait a minute, I'll go directly to the Wang Bureau, it shouldn't be a big problem, but there are a few shots that may be a little sensitive, so you should be prepared. Han Sanping said.
"Han Dong, please say. ”
"The first one is that the old man kneels down to the police, and the police resign later, there may be controversy on the side of the Ministry of Public Security, and then this Lu Yingfu hanged himself. Han Sanping pointed out one by one.
"Well, although the old man knelt down to the policeman, he resigned out of conscience after that, this is a positive portrayal of this policeman, right?" Li Qian said.
At the same time, it also contrasts with the director of public security, even if he just performs what a policeman should do, he is easy to be beaten as a villain. Han Sanping reminded.
is worthy of being a person in half of the officialdom, Han Sanping sees it very thoroughly.
"That's as much as possible, it's really not okay, I'll change the spare shot, there is a shot where the old man wants to kneel but is held by the police in time, and it doesn't matter if he changes it. ”
Even if I know how to shoot the original shot, I have made a detailed storyboard script and storyboard, but many ideas can pop up on the set at any time, and one shot can have many ways to express it.
For example, at the casual dinner, Lu Yingfu didn't give up and asked Cheng Yong if he was joking, Cheng Yong replied with a sentence of roll, and there were dozens of performances in that one-word shot.
There are those who don't speak, those who scoff, and those who say very loudly "You get out of me", which is the very violent kind, and there is also a more pertinent and very light roll, which breaks Lu Ying's last hope in one word.
The old man knelt there, knelt down and was helped up, just about to kneel, he was helped up, he was already half-squatting and almost kneeling, and he took a shot for backup, anyway, the digital machine, just make it.
"Well, apart from these shots, there shouldn't be any problems. ”
"Then trouble Han Dong. ”
Han Sanping nodded, looked at Li Qian and suddenly said, "You don't have to worry at all? Huang Zhongjun and Yu Dong are constantly making small moves." ”
As the helmsman of China Film, the trends in the industry can't escape his eyes, and he naturally knows that several major companies have been connected recently.
However, what he was curious about was that Li Qian never showed a trace of worry from beginning to end.
It's so perverse.
"I expected it, and as an opponent, it's not unusual for them to do anything. Li Qian smiled.
"But you shouldn't have said in public before that you wanted to hit the box office record of "Avatar", it's taboo to talk about the box office with realistic themes. Han Sanping shook his head.
Li Qian said, "It's good to have controversy, no matter how controversial it is now, after the movie is released, it will turn into praise for the movie." ”
And Li Qian is not like Ma Xiaogang in "Tangshan Earthquake", who talks about the box office every day, and when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, it is money, and his smug and arrogant smile is too easy to disgust the sad audience.
Since Li Qian Chengzhu is in his chest, everything is expected, and Han Sanping doesn't have much to remind him.
No matter what aspect he wants, he hopes that "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will be a big hit, if he still had some doubts before, now that he has watched the finished film, with the foundation of "I Am a Legend" of 800 million, one billion is very promising.
can break one billion, which is the best news this year, if it really breaks the record of "Avatar" as Li Qian said, then for Han Sanping, the producer is happier than the New Year.
Whether it is one billion or 1.3 billion, the breakthrough of domestic films is his credit, so he spared no effort to help Li Qian, personally took it to the optoelectronic boss, and reminded several major companies of the small actions, for him, Huayang and Berner are gone, and there will be other companies to replace them, but the blockbuster director, no one can compare to Li Qian at present.
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" is enough to complete the task, and Li Qian's new film is very promising to break one billion, and Han Sanping is now in a good mood.
However, there are a lot of bad things, Berner's situation in the US stock market is not very good, Yu Dong has recently been very close to Xiang Huaqiang and Xi Mihua, especially the latter does not know what the hell is playing.
Shaking his head, get rid of these bad things, Han Sanping took the copy and prepared to go to the photoelectric, Li Qian is going to be released on the 28th, and he has to do a screening, and there is less than a month left.
Leaving Zhongying with the assistant, the assistant next to him complimented, "Han Dong, you are too considerate of Li Qian, and you personally helped him hand over the copy." ”
"I'm not for him. Han Sanping shook his head, whether it was Li Qian, Zhao Qian, Wang Qian or He Qian, as long as he could sell the box office, he had to help.
.......
After leaving from Zhongying, Li Qian went to the company and discussed the issue of publicity.
"Everyone, it is expected that the review will be passed in a few days, and there is half a month of publicity time before the release, but we have to screen it in advance on the seven days of 15, 16, 17, 19, 22, 23, and 24, that is, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in the first two weeks, and the half-price day on Tuesday of the previous week, as well as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
That is to say, there are only ten days between the review and the first day of the movie, but fortunately, the other party has helped us do enough publicity during this time, but anyone who is online knows that our movie is about to be released. Li Qian said with a smile.
Speaking of which, I really have to thank them, I haven't passed the trial and can't publicize it, so what do you think of the optoelectronics, cut it first and then play it.
Sometimes Lightlight doesn't care about a little sensitive plot, but no one is allowed to challenge their authority.
I haven't reviewed you and you're publicizing it with great fanfare, as if it's already been reviewed, then I'll still review a fart!
No superior will allow this kind of thing to happen, there are two, and then three, and over time, everyone is like this, and the optoelectronic audit mechanism is a decoration.
And Li Qian has to wait for the review, it will definitely take a few days, and now it is the fourth, and it is only eleven days before the fifteenth.
There was less publicity in the early stage, and it happened that several major companies helped to do it.
Li Qian was quite happy, but Du Yang and Zhong Lifang couldn't laugh.
Even if he has confidence in Li Qian, the situation is not very good, and he can't laugh.
Du Yang and Huang Yan reported on the overall publicity strategy, which is basically based on word-of-mouth marketing, this set of marketing people know how to operate, the difference is only that they encounter different movies, and the effect is different.
"Warring States" was a lot of touting how good the movie was before its release, and a lot of people who watched the screening boasted there, but the box office was good in the first weekend, but it was over immediately in the second week.
Any marketing method is based on the movie itself.
As for the distribution, there is no need to worry about the number of screenings at all, the theater knows what to do with its eyes closed, and how many prime-time films Li Qian wants.
As for the officially released films, it depends on the feedback from the audience.
are all professionals who have been in the industry for many years and have done the promotion and distribution of various movies, Li Qian has nothing to say, just added a little.
For example, you can't blindly tout, you have to let the audience participate in the discussion after the screening, and someone in each forum must discuss the plot fiercely there, even if it is screened, it must create a momentum of full release.
boasted with reason, so that other audiences who have not watched the movie also want to see it.
People have a comparison mentality, I have what others have, not to mention that a movie doesn't cost a few dollars, watch a screening, watch it before 90% of the audience, and when discussing the movie, there will also be a sense of superiority.
Ready, review even if there are problems with those shots, there are spare shots that can be changed at any time, and Li Qian logged in to Weibo again, announcing that "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will be screened on July 15.
