"Ma Xiaogang has nothing to say now, he talks about entertainment films every day, as if he didn't shoot entertainment films before!"

"So many directors are praising "Truman's World", and none of the co-authors have Ma Xiaogang's vision?"

"If "Truman's World" is just an entertainment film, then there are few movies with connotation, I watched it twice, and the more I watched it, the more uncomfortable it became!"

"After watching the movie, a colleague of mine quit his job and started a business, and this movie feels really a bit evil. ”

"I also resigned from the factory, I have been in the factory for more than a year, I feel numb, I quickly ran away first, I got used to it this year, and I made up my mind to leave the factory after watching "Truman's World"!"

"I used to have a disease, I always suspected that there was someone behind me when I went to the toilet at night, and after watching the movie, it became more and more serious, and I was afraid to go to the toilet. ”

"You don't have the lights on, just turn on the lights, put a mirror in front of you, and you don't have to worry. ”

"It's really a talent, don't you feel disgusting when you look at yourself and pull S?"

"I was scared to death yesterday, I stayed in a hotel for one night, and when I brushed my teeth in the morning, I faced the mirror and tried it with my fingers on a whim, and found that the mirror was double-sided, so scared that I ran away without brushing my teeth. ”

"Hehe, it doesn't take long for the brothers upstairs to see their resources on the Internet, so look for them. ”

"Something is wrong with you... Borrow a voice. ”

"This movie is really a little scary, the key is to always can't help but think about this kind of thing, and then look at everyone around me is a little wrong. ”

......

As many directors, filmmakers, and officials took turns to praise "Truman's World", Ma Xiaogang said that "Truman's World" is just an entertainment film, and it is not as meaningful as "1942".

also attracted ridicule from netizens, and Ma Xiaogang's reputation was slowly corrupted by himself year after year.

This is also what the Huang brothers and Ma Xiaogang did not expect, with Han Sanping and other one-and-a-half-vote official filmmakers supporting "Truman's World", and Friday's news network also gave "Truman's World" a one-and-a-half-minute feature, Huayang Media's actions did not have the slightest bad impact.

Although the news broadcast is only a decent report, the influence of this half-point topic is much more important than the content of the report.

The content of one minute and thirty seconds is nothing special, Li Qian appeared for more than ten seconds to talk about the meaning of this movie and so on.

The host broadcasts the achievements and professional evaluations of the film, and also forks some grand occasions in the cinema, almost like that, all official words.

The audience, the industry, and the officials are all on Li Qian's side, which makes Huang Zhongjun very tricky.

The same is true for the major companies that originally had high hopes for Huayang, although they are all large companies, but it can't stop most of the industry insiders from praising "Truman's World".

Don't talk about actors and directors, who dares to offend Li Qian, even the actors under Huayang Media will not be willing.

Film critics and media, in front of classic movies that have exploded at the box office and word-of-mouth, it can even be said to be a masterpiece, not to mention, only a few media and film critics who are looking for a sense of existence for the sake of traffic will come to the bar.

Ma Xiaogang can only insist on his own point of view, and if he finishes speaking, he will take it back at this time, which is too slap in the face.

However, Li Qian and "Truman's World" are rarely mentioned, mainly selling and boasting about "1942".

......

On the 13th, when Ma Xiaogang made a big fuss, the Golden Globe Awards announced the list of new nominees, and "Truman's World" was successfully nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

However, this is not explosive news, and the nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film is not unusual, from 02 to now, mainland films have been nominated 6 times in the past ten years.

Even "Wu Ji" was nominated.

is mainly the Oscar, Han Sanping has made two calls to Li Qian since the movie was released, asking about the award.

The nominations were announced early, and it was useless for him to be in a hurry.

Although there were a lot of things last week, the box office of "Truman's World" was not affected at all.

got 640 million in seven days in a single week, and still broke 100 million in three days over the weekend, continuing to dominate the mainland film market.

With the addition of 550 million last week, the total box office has come to 1.19 billion!

Moreover, it doesn't take ten days, it will break one billion in nine days, which is much faster than "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

As for the other two movies, "Zodiac" got 38 million this week, and the total box office came to 655 million, and theoretically there is a possibility of breaking the 700 million mark.

"Life of Pi" is still strong, and the box office trend is very beautiful, with 60 million in the third week, with a total box office of 460 million.

This is still subject to the fact that "Truman's World" has taken most of the film schedule, otherwise it will be higher.

Several movies were also released during this period, such as Nanbang's thriller disaster film "Invasion of the Wireworms". Ekin Cheng starred in the romance film "My Husband is Unreliable".

are all soy sauce films, the former is less than a million on the first day, and the latter is less than two million on the first day.

The latter is still a sequel, the sequel to "My Wife Is Under Eighteen" ten years ago.

Romance movies, many female viewers ran to watch them, but in addition to being moved, there were also a large number of female viewers who expressed their chills.

It's basically a cold war between the hero and heroine, the man meets a young and beautiful girl who likes him, and the woman also meets the playmate who has always liked him since he was a child.

The difference, though, is that men begin to date new women, drink, chat, learn to dive, as if they have entered a whole new life.

And women occasionally spend time with their flower messengers to vent their emotions and reminisce about the past.

This difference made the female audience very unhappy, scolding men for being ruthless, saying that men only need a second to forget the past and hold someone's hand, but it probably takes a long, long time for most women to really come out.

Fortunately, the box office is low, and not many people watch it, otherwise there will be a quarrel on the Internet again.

In addition to these two movies, there are no more movies that break one million in a single day, all of them are three-day tours of the theater.

In the new week, there are no unnecessary disturbing things, and Li Qian continues to carry out normal publicity and roadshows.

......

On Monday, the box office city of Shudu.

In the morning, he was interviewed by one of the most influential media in Southwest China, West China Metropolis Daily.

In the interview, Li Qian talked about the significance of "Truman's World" to reality and life.

"Actually, I still used to say that everyone will have their own understanding when watching movies, and what they understand is their own, which has little to do with what I want to express.

I've seen a lot of online viewers' feelings, and it's generally the same, but in fact, when I created this movie, I just wanted to tell the world that most of us live in through such an absurd story.

The real world is very complicated, not all of them are well-intentioned, everyone has faced falsehood and deception, this is a common siege all over the world, if the audience can see their own shadow from a certain plot and think about how they should do it, I think this is enough. ”

The host also has a better understanding of Li Qian's character, and rarely preaches, which is a characteristic of Li Qian, even when "I am not the God of Medicine", he did not talk about any big truths.

"Director Li, I have watched the movie four times, Truman is one of my favorite movie characters, sometimes I feel that the meaning of life is all in the movie, since childhood, we have been limited by the invisible wall of family, school, company, and society. ”

Li Qian shook his head and said with a smile, "Actually, the size of the world depends on how much each person's heart can carry, just like Truman didn't overcome his fear at the beginning, and he didn't even dare to go to sea by boat to go on a business trip."

It's actually himself who restricts him, he didn't even dare to get on the boat, he retreated before the program team hindered him, the reality is the same, there is no absolute freedom in life, but everyone can fight for freedom and get what belongs to them, just see if you have the courage. ”

......

"After a few years of filmmaking, I feel like I'm about to become a philosopher. ”

At the end of an event, Li Qian made a joke.

"Isn't it, family, children's education, reality, science fiction, friendship, life... You have filmed all kinds of themes, and you understand all the relevant principles thoroughly. Deng Chao also smiled.

"Come on, I'm actually quite tired, but if I don't talk about this, there's nothing to say," Li Qian shook his head, Rory was a lot of chatter, and it was quite tiring.

Move on to the next show, meet the audience in the cinema.

Every time you show a roadshow, you can always see a variety of audiences, and the one who was not in the same dimension as ordinary people last time is typical.

This time, I also met an audience member who was a little special, and after being clicked, he looked at Zhang Wei very angrily and said loudly.

"Director Li, everyone's face in the movie is annoying, but the most annoying thing is Truman's good friend Zhang Wei, in my heart Truman's wife and parents are just group performances, Truman has never loved his wife from beginning to end, and there is no spiritual communication with his parents.

But for Zhang Wei, a sworn friend who has known him since childhood, Truman pays his true feelings, every time Truman is confused, he will talk to him, but he brainwashed Truman, and from childhood to adulthood, Ma Long didn't feel sorry for Truman in the slightest?"

After speaking, the audience still looked sad and angry, and said. "It's a rock that's going to be hot!"

The words were said to Li Qian, but he kept looking at Zhang Wei, which made Zhang Wei particularly embarrassed.

Li Qian smiled, "Otherwise, let Zhang Wei talk about his role." ”

Zhang Wei, who was called, hurriedly took the microphone and thought about it.

Although he was not prepared, Zhang Wei still understood the role he played very thoroughly, and he looked at the questioning audience with a slight smile.

"Zhang Wei's character, that... That is, me, Director Li thinks that my name is ordinary and representative enough, so the role has the same name as mine, in fact, this character, in essence, is the same as Truman, a very representative character.

First of all, this character is the only one in the movie, who first established a friendship with Truman, is a real friend, and then was told the truth, and he is the only one in the movie, when facing Truman, he will have a sense of guilt and guilt, unlike everyone else who is dealing with Truman. ”

"What do you mean by a true friend? He didn't think of Truman as a friend at all!" the audience retorted.

"It's not like that, he has known Truman since elementary school, and it was after he and Truman became friends that he was selected by the program team to play an important role in this show, before knowing the truth, they were very pure friends, but when they grew up, they were told the truth by the program team and asked him to act, so they cooperated with the crew. Zhang Wei explained.

There are too many uncertainties in children, and when they are young, those classmates must not know the truth, otherwise, they would have been in trouble a long time ago.

"Then he can not act, he has deceived Truman for so many years, and from the moment he agreed to act, he has not regarded Truman as a friend!"

Li Qian smiled and replied for Zhang Wei, "How big is the energy of the program team in the movie, everyone knows that the income is higher than the GDP of many small countries, such a huge interest group cannot be resisted by an ordinary person, and it is also possible that when he entered the studio when he was a child, his parents signed a contract with the program team."

In fact, to put it nicely, everyone must have watched the Xiangjiang police and gangster films, whether it is the Black Club or the police, they will send undercover agents to each other, the role of Zhang Wei, you can look at it like this, he treats Truman as a friend, but he can't help himself.

Why did he continue to act after knowing the truth, because of the pressure of the program team, he didn't have the courage to tell the truth, and he comforted himself in his heart, it was originally a show, and this was also a good thing for Truman, who was an orphan.

To put it mildly, when people don't have the courage to do something, they will always find all kinds of reasons to convince themselves that they don't feel guilty, and they feel guilty while lying to you, and I think many people will have this experience. ”

As soon as he said this, the audience immediately suddenly realized, "So, Zhang Wei is also another "Truman", and he is also the one who is controlled!"

You can understand how you understand love, what makes movies different from TV series is that there are a lot of blank spaces, and everyone can see different things.

......

Li Qian took the crew to run all over the country, and time passed day by day, and soon came to December 20th.

The two movies "1942" and "Blood Drops" were officially released.

has just been released, and under the huge publicity offensive of Huayang Media, it is very lively.

"1942" Zheng Zhou premiered, the audience gave a standing ovation, and Ma Xiaogang was moved to tears!"

"1942" deserves everyone to go to the cinema, we should know the history, remember the history, and better cherish the present, this is a dark and warm movie, Ma Xiaogang is a director worthy of respect!"

"The Chinese people who can't "eat" can't hit the Chinese nation with natural disasters and man-made disasters!"

"1942 - A Bunch of Real Victims and Their Epic of China!"

......

To a great deal of acclaim, "1942" ended the day of screenings.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, Huang Zhongjun waited anxiously at home for the box office.

Since the daytime, he has been paying attention to the situation in the theater, but the feedback he has received is not very good, and the attendance rate at night in many places is not as good as "Truman's World".

Huang Zhongjun had a faint bad premonition, and he had been worried for two or three hours.

A quarter of an hour later, when he received the mail on time, he couldn't wait to click on it.

At this glance, the numbers above directly stunned him.

24 million ......

Carefully and carefully, looking at the numbers on it with wide eyes, Huang Zhongjun almost fainted.

He collapsed on the couch, his eyes glazed out.

Finished... Finished.......

......

The last blockbuster of the Lunar New Year file was released, and the box office on the first day was a big surprise, with 50% of the scheduled films only getting 24 million box office.

This also acted on the stock market, and Huayang Media's stock opened slightly lower and then fell all the way, hitting the fall limit at about 10:30.
