Chapter 373 The emotional drama of the wealthy family
The film market in March has nothing to do with domestic films, and "Mission Impossible 4", which has been released for a month, has a box office of more than 20 million in a single week, with a total box office of more than 600 million, continuing to suppress a number of domestic small productions.
It wasn't until Women's Day on March 8 that "Sister Peach" sat on the weekly box office champion with a high box office of 35 million in four days.
Liu Dehua and Ye Dexian have collaborated again to make a better movie since "Extralegal Affairs" and "Intralegal Affairs" in the 80s.
On the same day, the comedy "Magical Hillbilly" starring Wang Baoqiang was released, Wang Baoqiang continued to play the kind of silly and silly role, but the box office in the first week was only more than 2 million, which completely hit the street.
A few days later, a "Diet Men and Women 2012" was released, and you can tell by looking at the name that it is the classic movie "Diet Men and Women" by rubbing Li An.
It's just crazy, the sequels have been filmed on the top of literary films, and there is no one left, and Li An really lets others spoil his own movies.
However, at a glance at the producer Xu Ligong, who once had a status similar to Han Sanping in the mainland in the Baodao film industry, or even more than that, after all, he served as the boss of optoelectronics.
This is not surprising, this person is also Li An's Bole.
Since the sequel of Xiangjiang Movie, Treasure Island Movie has also played like this, but obviously the latter's film library is much worse than Xiangjiang Movie.
If you don't have the ability, you will eat the old book and make a sequel.
There are also in the mainland.
"The Car in Embarrassment" starring Guo Deguang was released, and the box office turned out to be okay, with 2 million on the first day.
If you change the name and change it to "Che Zhen Embarrassing Journey", it is estimated that it will be more attractive if you put two beautiful women with hot figures on the cover.
are all low-budget movies, and it was not until April 10 that the 3D version of "Titanic", which was rampaging more than ten years ago, was released, which made the film market hot again.
70 million on the first day and 450 million in 6 days.
A re-released movie broke the box office record of the first day and the first week in film history!
Although the follow-up trend will definitely be bad, after all, there is a high-definition watch on the computer, and the audience who will go to the cinema basically goes in the first week, and it is impossible to maintain this data later.
However, this also makes all domestic filmmakers lose their faces, which is completely the biggest humiliation for Chinese films!
God knows if Hollywood studios will not see a profit, and they will also convert some of the previous classic movies into 3D and come to China again to make some money.
.......
"Director Xiangjiang remakes classics and cheats money, and director Baodao has also begun to keep up, this Hollywood movie remake doesn't need to be used, just spend some money to convert 3D, this treats the market as a second-hand market!"
Li Qian was deeply speechless, that is, there are not many imported films, otherwise there may really be a lot of Hollywood classic blockbusters converted into 3D and dumped in China.
The great market was taken by Hollywood studios.
But it can't be helped, starting late, and the lack of competitiveness is like that.
Packing up his mood, Li Qian gathered the actors in the capital, chartered a plane, and flew to Jiangning with the crew.
arrived in Jiangning at noon, and the actors who were not in the capital also arrived one after another.
The start-up press conference was held in Jiangning, which was requested by the Jiangning government, and Li Qian didn't care.
At noon, I dealt with the local government, had a meal, rested for a while, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference was held at the Hilton Optics Valley Hotel that had just opened.
Media from all over the country gathered at Hilton in anticly await the Grand Ballroom.
"Li Qian is mysterious and mysterious this time, and he has a fight with "Moon" at the beginning, and I don't know what story it is telling. ”
The waiting reporters exchanged their thoughts in twos and threes.
"I don't understand, but since Truman is a personal name, as the name suggests, it must be about the world where Truman is located, but I don't know if it's another world. ”
"Impossible, I have already gone to the Central China Film and Television Base two days ago to see it, although it is only partially built, but it is obviously a modern building, nothing unusual. ”
"I said, didn't Li Qian say it before, the exterior is the architecture of the modern world, not a different world. A reporter interjected.
"How is it possible, don't be deceived by Li Qian, if it's a modern location, then why bother a lot, just find a city to shoot in real time. ”
"When did Li Qian deceive people in the movie, and he didn't tell a lie every time, right?"
"That's true, but the modern location, the title is "Truman's World", does this world refer to reality, what is the meaning of that title?"
"It's too brain-consuming, every time I guess Li Qian's movie, it's more laborious than watching a brain-burning movie!"
......
In the midst of the noise of the scene, a young female host came to the stage.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to the launch conference of the famous director Li Qian's new film "Truman's World", let us welcome Director Li Qian and the actors with warm applause!"
In bursts of applause and expectant eyes, Li Qian took the actors on stage.
Following Li Qian was Deng Chao.
Deng Chao starred as the actor in a comedy movie?
There was some confusion, but there was nothing strange about it.
Then there is Tong Liya, who came to make a cameo appearance as her first girlfriend, reporters thought she was the heroine, and it is not surprising that Tong Liya is now the first actress of the new generation.
And then there is Wang Ou.
Who's this?
Most reporters don't know each other, but a big director like Li Qian, even if he is looking for an amateur actor, is not a strange thing, and the more big the director, the more he likes to use newcomers.
Then there is the producer Jin Shijie, Li Baotian, Pan Hong, who plays the parents, and Wang Deshun, the four old actors, Teacher Qin Yi is old, so he didn't come.
followed by Zhang Wei, the security duo Lei Jiayin and Zhou Dehua, and the funny uncle Pan Lei.
Basically, all the actors who have a bit of a role have arrived, and the eleven actors are also Li Qian's largest so far.
The reporters in the audience looked at so many people, all of them were a little surprised, in previous years, Li Qian's films, when the press conference was launched, there was only one Huang Bo at the least, and there were only three or four more, and the most time was "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which was less than ten, and this time it can be regarded as a record-breaking!
Something strange must happen when things go wrong!
"Welcome to all of you to come to Jiangning to participate in the launch of my sixth film "Truman's World", there are still many familiar faces this year, thank you for your support. Li Qian said hello to the media as usual.
Then he signaled to the hotel staff below, and then a curtain behind him automatically fell, and the big screen lit up, and a huge human head appeared on it.
It was Deng Chao, who made a funny smile in front of the glass of the bathroom sink, pointed to the mirror with his fingers, and put some bottles and cans of cosmetics in front of him.
"What does that mean?"
Before he could say anything, he released a poster, and this poster is definitely not for perfunctory?
Li Qian answered their doubts and said with a smile, "Many people speculated before whether it was a comedy or not, but now everyone will know by looking at this poster, isn't Brother Chao's exaggerated and weird laugh still a comedy?"
This is Truman has begun to suspect, and through the imaging of his fingers on the mirror, he judged that it was a double-sided glass, and he could be seen from the other side, so he pretended to be funny to cover up his discovery.
If it is a one-way mirror, there is no distance between the fingertips and the image in the mirror when you hold your hand against the mirror.
Conversely, if there is a distance between the fingertip and the image in the mirror, it is a two-way mirror, and the other side of the mirror can see you.
However, the reporters don't know, they just think that Li Qian's explanation is particularly far-fetched, a poster with the protagonist's smiling face shows that it is a comedy?
Li Qian has nothing to say about the movie, this needs to be kept secret, and you will only feel it when you watch the movie, otherwise the spoilers will be a little less interesting.
"The movie "Truman's World" is a movie that is very different from any comedy at home and abroad, because of the characteristics of the movie, I can't say too much about it, so let's ask any questions. ”
That's a brain-looking comedy!
Hearing this, the reporter understood that it is a film that wins with creativity, but it is very different from any comedy at home and abroad, that is, there has never been a similar movie?
But since they asked them, the reporters would not be polite and rushed to speak.
"Director Li, can you briefly tell me what kind of story this is?"
Well, it's probably an inspirational story of pursuing your true self. Li Qian told the truth.
"Is the setting of the movie set in the real world, and does it not involve another world? Truman's world refers to the real world?"
"So to speak. ”
"Is Huazhong Film and Television Base really a location for filming on location, since it is the real world, why not go to other cities to shoot live?"
"It's for the needs of the film. ”
"What is the story of the movie?"
"On the inspirational, liberal aspect. ”
"Specifically, how is the process of inspiration and freedom?"
The male protagonist, that is, Truman's constant pursuit of truth, self, and freedom is an example story. ”
"Is Truman going to escape his current life, why is he fleeing?"
"For freedom and self!"
.....
After a series of questions, Li Qian answered quickly every time, and the efficiency was quite high.
But!
Coming and going are examples, free words, no matter how you ask, these are the two sentences over and over again.
There's a fart!
Reporters who are familiar with Li Qian's character no longer ask questions, and they can't ask anything no matter how they ask, so they simply change their choice.
Deng Dynasty?
Never mind.
Tong Liya?
Forget it.
Wang Ou?
I have just introduced the actors, and the reporters also know Wang Ou's name.
It's just her, a rookie actor, who can always pry something out.
"Hello Wang Ou, it is the first time to appear in Director Li's movie, do you have any feelings?"
"I'm very happy, when I received Director Li's invitation, I didn't dare to believe it, and I thank Director Li for giving me this opportunity. Wang Ou said with some excitement.
"What is your role?"
"I'm playing Truman's wife. ”
Wife?
What about Tong Liya?
Tong Liya smiled, "I play Truman's first girlfriend. ”
First love girlfriend and wife, romantic comedy is done.
In this relationship, reporters have been able to make up a lot of stories.
Then Jin Shijie, Li Baotian, and Pan Hong also talked about their roles.
One watched Truman grow up, and the other two were parents.
This is a bit informative, and there are parents, and an old man who watched him grow up.
No, there is also the old man Wang Deshun, who also grew up watching Truman, this is a woman, three men and four fathers, tsk......
Coupled with a first girlfriend and a wife, any audience can imagine an emotional drama involving two generations.
As for the sworn friends played by Zhang Wei, the security guards played by Lei Jiayin and Zhou Dehua, there are even security guards at home, it seems that they are wealthy families!
Following the train of thought of the roles played by actors, the reporters suddenly discovered that this is not the more popular TV series of wealthy families in the past few years?
Wrong!
But this is a comedy!
I rubbed it, and I was taken astray!
The reporters were remorseful and were about to start from the beginning.
Li Qian looked at it and asked for so long, and the time was almost up, so he announced the end of the press conference.
"Thank you for participating today, my hotel has prepared a banquet, you can eat on your own, that's it for today, see you after the movie is released. ”
After speaking, Li Qian left the scene with the actors, leaving a group of reporters with big eyes and small eyes, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to report this press conference.
A wealthy emotional drama?
Isn't that!
