Chapter 181 Invitation to Xinlang Weibo
The launch conference ended successfully, and Li Qian met a guest in the hotel room, Cao Zhenghui, the editor-in-chief of the Xinlang Technology Channel.
Li Qian doesn't know this Cao Zhenghui, after all, he is in charge of the science and technology channel, and he has nothing to do with Li Qian, but Li Qian, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment channel, knows him, and has also been interviewed by Xinlang several times.
"Hello Mr. Cao, is there something wrong with coming to me?"
After shaking hands, Li Qian sat down on the sofa, he definitely wouldn't run over for no reason, probably because he had something to talk about.
"Hello Director Li, you came to Xinlang twice before, but I didn't see you in person, I'm a movie lover, it's a pity. ”
Cao Zhenghui said with a smile, and did not sell Guanzi, explaining his intentions, "That's the case, we are about to launch a new website and put it into operation, and we specially invited Director Li to open an account,"
That's it?
Li Qian was a little inexplicable, and the dignified editor-in-chief made a special trip to let Li Qian register an account on their new website.
And it's not the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section, it's the editor-in-chief of science and technology.
However, if Xinlang attaches so much importance to it, Li Qian is interested in this new website.
Before Li Qian could ask, Cao Zhenghui first answered Li Qian's doubts.
"That's right, our new product is called Xinlang Weibo, which is a new social media, and when it is officially put into operation, I hope that Director Li can come to register and cheer up popularity. ”
Weibo?
This thing is very frequent in the film and television dramas in my mind, but I didn't expect it to be launched in 2009.
However, it is not a mistake to come to invite yourself.
It is estimated that there are other things, Li Qian smiled, "Mr. Cao, I'm afraid it's not that simple, if there is anything else, just say it directly." ”
"Director Li is quick to talk!"
sighed, and Cao Zhenghui said bluntly, "Director Li hasn't announced his movie yet, if it's convenient, I would like to ask Director Li to announce the news of the new film on Weibo a little later, when Weibo is officially launched." ”
So that's the case, Li Qian immediately understood.
This is to attract users to the new platform of Weibo, and it also explains why several reporters at the press conference frequently turned the topic to "Living Together in Time and Space".
I just don't want to reveal the movie information so quickly, so it's best to wait until the time is the first time to announce it on Weibo.
However, Li Qian is still a little sorry, "Mr. Cao, my new film is about to start filming, and the audience is also in a hurry, so it's not good to drag it too far." ”
Filming right away?
Cao Zhenghui's face twitched, didn't he say that everything was still early at the press conference just now, why was it suddenly about to start filming.
But that's not a big deal.
Cao Zhenghui said with a smile, "If Director Li is willing to help, we will provide more publicity for Director Li's movie for the Chinese New Year." ”
As the incoming director of the operation of Xinlang Weibo, Cao Zhenghui is also under great pressure, contacting well-known actors, directors and other public figures everywhere and inviting them to open accounts to attract audiences.
Some people are easy to do, but some people still need to give some benefits.
He had contacted big directors such as Zhang Yimou, Ma Xiaogang, and Cheng Kaige before, but they were all free and didn't play this thing.
Some actors are good to say, the actors themselves need exposure, although the future of Weibo is unknown, but behind it is the portal salary, which can be regarded as a good channel.
He also remembered that Li Qian's new movie attracted so many people's attention, and it didn't just happen to attract users to sign up, so he hurried over, for fear that Li Qian would reveal the information of his new film at the start-up press conference, and there would be a lack of suspense.
Li Qian thought for a moment and asked, "When will this Weibo be launched?"
Cao Zhenghui said, "It was officially launched in early June. ”
"June..."
Li Qian hesitated a little, thought about it for a while, and then reluctantly agreed.
"That's okay, I'll help Mr. Cao with this, but I guess I'm going to be talked about by the audience again, we do movies like this, that's it, we have to accept questions from all sides. ”
Two movies in a row have been big hits, and "Moon" has sold more than 260 million, Li Qian can be said to have no need too many publicity means, as long as they know that their new movie has started filming, it is enough.
Originally, I didn't want to sell Guanzi, so I announced it in a few days, but if I get a salary wave to support the promotion of my movie, I will be a few days later.
Cao Zhenghui didn't pierce it, and said with a smile, "Thank you so much Director Li, Director Li can rest assured, we will also vigorously help publicize it when the time comes." ”
"It's troublesome to Mr. Cao. ”
A win-win situation, Li Qian didn't pay anything, so why not do it.
And those film and television dramas in his mind often appear on Weibo, Li Qian also wants to experience how fun this thing is.
......
After the press conference, "Living Together in Time and Space" was filmed in Huairou, and then the film market ushered in a wave of climax because of the release of "Jinling! Jinling!".
Lu Chuan, a once-anticipated rookie director, has undoubtedly attracted much attention for historical events such as the Jinling Massacre.
On Wednesday the 22nd, "Jinling!Jinling!" got a box office of 9 million on the first day, which is a big hit for this theme.
In the next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, a total of 32 million was obtained in three days, and the box office exceeded 40 million in four days.
However, what greeted this movie was undoubtedly overwhelming scolding, and in just four days, Lu Chuan had been labeled a traitor.
It's also a death, filmed like this, it's really hard not to think so.
The whole film looks at this massacre from the perspective of a neon man, and the psychological journey of the characters in the movie is only neon people, not Chinese people.
In the end, the neon man Kadokawa committed suicide, completing the process of a character's personality transformation, showing that the main line of character development in the movie is completely placed on the neon people, while the Chinese people are insensitive from the beginning in the face of disaster, and in the end, there is still no change in their personalities, like a group of lambs to the slaughter.
In the end, the soldier who was unexpectedly released by Kadokawa smiled stupidly, thinking with his toes, any Chinese who escaped from hell would not show a stupid and honest smile like that.
Is this smile a blessing that I escaped death, and I am glad that I met a kind Japanese and found my life?
When Chinese soldiers were slaughtered and civilian women were killed, they all adopted a panoramic top-down perspective, and the camera mostly panned in front of the Chinese.
In front of the camera, the audience sees the face of a completely expressionless and insensitive Chinese person, and this angle is exactly the angle seen by the neon slaughterer.
Those scenes that should have resonated with the audience were also deliberately downplayed by Lu Chuan.
Fan Wei's daughter was thrown out of the window by the neon man, and the child's death was the easiest to touch, but Fan Wei went to be like a neon man before, resulting in the killing of the soldiers in the refugee camp, and it was difficult for the audience to stand in Fan Wei's perspective at this time.
I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, it's either stupid or bad.
The abuser pulls a fictional human character out to focus on, and the victim also sets a damn reason for them, and most of the victims show it as if they should die.
In the face of overwhelming scolding, Lu Chuan also kept responding to the audience, explaining the deep meaning of each scene in the movie one by one.
Anyway, it means that what I filmed didn't mean that, the audience misunderstood, you all listen to me, what I said is what I want to express, and if you don't understand it, watch it again.
Huaguo is probably one of the countries with the most misunderstood movies in the world.
Every movie doesn't speak by itself, the director has to jump out and tell everyone, how should you watch this movie.
I don't know if this is too low for our national appreciation.
Or the director is too failed, the narrative is chaotic, the views are ambiguous, the performance is vague, so it is mysterious, and it is a mess.
It seems that I don't know when it started, some hard-mouthed directors always habitually blame the failure of the movie on the audience's inability to understand it, as a way to comfort themselves.
Before the release, it was also advertised as a Chinese version of "Schindler's List", and the face was gone, but anyone with a normal IQ would not think that this was a level movie.
The film market is extremely hot because of "Jinling! Jinling!", and all the media, film critics, and audiences are discussing the film, and they are arguing about it.
......
On the afternoon of the 26th, the annual Beijing University Student Film Festival ushered in the award ceremony in a hustle and bustle.
Li Qian also took time to come here, and "Moon" won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Visual Effects, five nominations, and basically won all the nominations that could be won.
Not only "The Moon", Guo Fan and Qi Yukun are also here, "Jaws 2" won two nominations for Best Debut and Best Visual Effects, "127 Hours" also won a nomination for Best Debut Film, and Deng Chao's Best Actor nomination.
At the entrance of the red carpet, the three crews got together and became the group with the most nominations on the spot.
There are many people, which makes the other crews look sideways.
"Painted Skin", "Ip Man", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", "Mei Lanfang", "Li Mi's Conjecture" These popular movies have also arrived, and they are all together with familiar people.
This year's college student film festival is also the most lively in so many years.
Looking at Li Qian, who was surrounded in the middle, other directors couldn't help but cast their eyes.
25 years old, 260 million box office, can be called a demon.
Brother Cheng Kai saw Li Qian for the first time, and the discomfort of the New Year stall was also lost, and now he is only curious.
And Ma Xiaogang glanced at Li Qian, and then lowered his head and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not only the directors, but also the many actors on the scene, whether they were on the first line or several lines, they all looked over there frequently.
These actors on the scene, except for Deng Chao and Sun Li, also Chen Kun went to the studio to audition once, and no one else had contact with Li Qian, and he was still completely unfamiliar with such a rapidly rising director.
This is the first time that Li Qian has become the center of attention on an occasion other than the premiere of his own movie.
