"The box office of "Truman's World" exceeded 1.7 billion, and Li Qian once again set a new box office record in mainland film history!"

"With two breaks of 1.6 billion and two movies with a box office of 3.4 billion, Li Qian has created a legendary record that no one can match in Chinese films!"

"There is only one Li Qian in the billion club, but "Truman's World" is already hitting the box office of two billion!"

"The only one who can break Li Qian's record is himself!"

"Incredible movies, incredible box office, "Truman's World" single-handedly drove the sluggish Chinese New Year market!"

......

With a box office record of more than 1.7 billion, even if there is a 1.6 billion "I Am Not the God of Medicine" jewel in front, it is also a sensation in the domestic film market.

There are no new films released during the New Year's Day holiday, and the only one that broke 100 million on the first day was the animated movie "The Legend of the Golden Hoop Stick".

is the golden hoop stick in Sun Wukong's hand, which tells the story of the road, the four masters and apprentices rested in the broken temple, and the honest sand monk kept vigil, but the fatigue of the day led to sudden death.

Sun Wukong went to ask for the elixir to restore the soul, but after the elixir came, Tang Seng, who was proficient in medical skills, couldn't bear to show his skills, and a cardiopulmonary resuscitation tossed Sha Seng's soul back.

And the elixir retrieved by Sun Wukong inadvertently spilled the golden hoop stick on the side. As a result, the golden rod was transformed into a woman.

The news that Sun Wukong lost the golden hoop stick spread quickly, and the Bull Demon King immediately convened various monsters to form a subcommittee to denounce the Journey to the West, and the girl who became the golden hoop stick also wanted to take Tang Seng's life at the instigation of the traitor.

Everyone can't help but complain about the story after watching it, but the attention is too low, the box office is only 1.5 million on the first day, and the animated movies are mainly watched by children, so no one sprays.

Of course, there was no media to block Teacher Six and ask him for his opinion.

The topic of movies is still focused on "Truman's World", because for the Oscar public relations, thousands of judges were sent CDs and small gifts last week.

This has directly led to the emergence of high-definition piracy on the Internet.

Unavoidable, unless it's not PR, in that case, don't sign up at all.

However, the box office is still relatively stable, and many people watch movies, not just for watching movies, but just for entertainment.

Whether it's a date or something, I'm going to watch a movie, and there are no other movies to watch at this time, "Truman's World" has a super good reputation and response, and I will definitely not regret watching it, so the audience who is going to the cinema will still go.

It's not completely without impact, if it weren't for the New Year's Day holiday, this week's decline would not be so pretty.

The movie was also released for almost a month, high-definition piracy was all over the network, and Li Qian also ended the roadshow and returned to the capital.

Let's go to the company first to see if there is anything to deal with.

The films invested in are either in preparation or have already begun filming, and the announcement of "Journey to the West" is also being prepared.

In addition, it is the expansion of the company.

"Recently, I have contacted Zheng Xiaolong, Zhang Guoli, and Liu Zhenyun successively, Zheng Xiaolong has the intention of cooperating, Zhang Guoli and Liu Zhenyun have not replied, but they all have children and are all developing in the film industry, I don't think there is much of a problem. Du Yang said.

"Forget it, don't force it. Li Qian shook his head, the circle of these people is also commonly known as the Beijing circle.

Wang Yan, Ye Jing, Ye Ying, Liang Jia, Ying Jia, Song Jiji, Ge Wei, Fan Wei, these people, when Li Qian had not yet entered the industry, these people basically controlled all the network resources of the mainland film and television industry.

The peculiarity of this circle is that it does not accept other people and excludes dissidents.

Of course, not necessarily, Zhao Wei, who was in full swing, accepted Zhao Wei back then and filmed "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".

Li Qian has never been in contact with this circle, but he doesn't have much affection.

Du Yang explained, "They still have a wide range of contacts in the entire literary and artistic circle, especially the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, which is what we lack." ”

"Literary and Art Union?"

Li Qian smiled, "Today, when the market is completely commercialized, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles can't rest on its laurels, last year's Hundred Flowers Award, Vice Chairman Kang took the initiative to contact me to ensure that I must bring people to the scene, the film and television industry is no longer the previous literary circle." ”

Vice Chairman Kang took the initiative to find Li Qian?

Du Yang was a little surprised, she didn't know this.

The Federation of Literary and Art Circles is not an inconspicuous institution, and even its impact on the film and television industry is not much worse than optoelectronics.

The top leaders of the previous Federation of Literary and Art Circles are much higher than the number one leaders of optoelectronics.

The current leader of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles was the leader of optoelectronics 19 years ago, and now he is a deputy national-level leader.

The vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles took the initiative to find Li Qian, which is a good signal, at least it means that the relationship between the Federation of Literary and Art Circles is there, and there will be a lot of room for operation in the future Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and the Golden Eagle Award in the field of TV dramas.

In that case, the others would be insignificant except for one Zheng Xiaolong.

"By the way, I got together with my friends before and met Song Jiji, she seemed to be praising her son, and she followed her to shoot three dramas in a row. Du Yang explained, "In the future, when we become bigger, we will definitely have a lot of contact with the business community, and if we have her relationship, many things will be convenient." ”

Song Jiji, the princess of the Beijing circle back then.

This princess of the Beijing circle is not a vase in name like Xu Qing, she is a princess who is real and the stars hold the moon.

However, it has nothing to do with Li Qian, he still shook his head, "Didn't his brother just step down from the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and whether it is the film and television industry or the business world, these things are secondary, as long as the company maintains the current development momentum, any resources and capital will take the initiative to come over." ”

Du Yang thought about it, he had already received an olive branch from many capitals, and those people couldn't contact Li Qian, so they all came to her.

At that moment, he also reported this matter to Li Qian.

"Deal with it, wait for the Spring Festival file "Journey to the West" to be released and talk about financing, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, and there will be an event at Communication University in the afternoon. ”

It's okay, Li Qian didn't stay in the company for long, he got up and left, as long as his movie can be a blockbuster, then other things are not a thing.

Seeing that Li Qian left less than an hour after coming to the company, Du Yang was also a little helpless, and he really ignored the company at all as he said at the beginning.

.......

After returning to the capital, I can't be idle, and the activities that have been confirmed include Communication University and Beijing Normal University, meet and chat with the students, and then Beijing Satellite TV and movie channels will go to a trip, and there will be a media interview.

It's not the first time, Li Qian has even been to Peking University, made speeches, and is familiar with any event.

To a certain extent, college students, relatively simple, casually chatted, talked about some big truths that they didn't know and didn't believe in, and it passed.

This activity at the Communication University, that is, chatting, was originally a speech, and Li Qian was too lazy to prepare the script.

Chatting is talking about movies, and most of them are things that have been said many times with some previous roadshows.

But people, you never know what's going on in everyone's head, there's always something new.

A student of communication psychology asked Li Qian a question that he had not answered so far.

"Hello Director Li, there is a scene in "Truman's World" that I haven't figured out, that is, after Truman drove away from Taoyuan Island with his wife, and was finally sent back by the police.

Knowing that Truman was suspicious, his wife still took care of herself to sell coffee to the air, as a professional actor who has acted in this show for more than ten years, didn't she know that this move would arouse Truman's suspicion even more?"

As soon as the problem came out, the students in the audience also thought that if you want to talk about the most penetrating plot in the movie, Wang Ou's performance in this paragraph can definitely be counted as one of them.

No one asked about this before, but Li Qian also opened his mouth, "This classmate is studying communication psychology, so I think I should have a certain understanding of the audience's mental grasp, so I'll talk about it from this aspect."

This scene is a climactic place, adding a blunt advertisement will make the overall plot further frightening and absurd, and at the same time, from the perspective of advertising, the audience in front of the TV has the most concentrated attention at this time, and the effect of product placement is good at this time, as a professional advertising salesman, Truman's wife has no big problem with her choice. ”

As soon as he said this, the students in the audience were stunned.

"Not to mention, the most scary scene of Truman's wife is there, I used to think that Wang Ou was very beautiful and feminine, just a little green tea, but in this scene, it scared me, and I shuddered!"

The people around me suddenly read the advertising slogan stiffly to a place, it's really scary to think about, it's all infiltrating when you look at it, let alone Truman. ”

"I think she should be panicking herself, or is she confusing Truman?"

"The horror effect of this paragraph is not bad at all than ordinary horror films, no wonder some people have always said that this is a horror film before. ”

.....

However, the girl who spread psychology was not moved by Li Qian's explanation, but continued to ask, "But, as far as the movie is concerned, it is not normal for this character to make such abnormal behaviors!"

You can interpret it as fooling Truman and making him unable to think independently, or it can be interpreted as she feels danger and fear, hoping that through this blunt plot, the outside world will intervene, guide him and rescue herself.

Or, she has been accustomed to stylized acting for so many years, dealing with Truman and advertising every day, and she is used to this kind of day, and when faced with unexpected situations, she is at a loss, so she wants to calm herself down through advertising, which is what she is used to. ”

Li Qian explained again, no matter how he understood it, he even guessed whether she was reminding Truman in disguise.

The female classmate suddenly came to her senses and said with a little excitement, "Actually, the role of the wife is also a reflection of ordinary people, another Truman, she is also trapped in the program group, playing the role of his wife day after day to deal with Truman, and then advertising, repeating these things every day, like many people in reality, repeating the same things every day." ”

When the other students were told this, it was also instantly clear.

I see!

Li Qian is awesome, I didn't see it before.

Love how to say it, Li Qian doesn't matter, before Zhang Wei was said by the audience to be another Chuman, and now Chuman's wife has also become another Chuman, everyone is a Chuman.

Then the next student who was ordered stood up with excitement on his face, "Director Li, I watched "Truman's World" four times, and I made a major discovery, the two security guards in the movie are different from other audiences in the movie, they are not the audience of this show, but the audience of the movie "Truman's World", right, just like each of us." ”

？？？

This is the same as a tongue twister, which makes Li Qian a little confused.

Still, I kept smiling, and I looked like I knew everything.

The other students in the audience didn't understand what he was saying, and they all looked at him strangely.

Li Qian motioned for him to continue.

The student continued, "I watched carefully, and finally the two security guards said that there was no other show, and this show was not referring to this show, but to the movie "Truman's World", which was being broadcast on TV at the time, and the security guards were exactly the same as the movies we saw, except that the two of them were missing. ”

Now Li Qian understood what he meant, what he meant was that the restaurant, the old couple, and the uncle in the bathtub in the movie were all the audience of this show in the movie "Truman's World", and the two security guards were the people watching the movie.

And the audience in reality is watching the security guard watching the movie "Truman's World".

It's a bit of a twist, it's pretty much that, the rest of the audience is watching the show, the security guard is watching the movie, and the real audience is watching the security guard watching the movie.

Li Qian straightened out his words, and the classmate was still analyzing with his eyebrows fluttering.

"There is no picture in the movie that the two security guards are watching a TV show, and they have the least reaction compared to the audience in the restaurant and the elderly couple, which means that they are not watching this live reality show, but just watching a movie, so there is not that much reaction.

Moreover, I watched the security guard's scenes from the pirated website to take screenshots and observe, in a few scenes, their hairstyles, sitting positions, and the light in the background have not changed, and the surrounding environment is exactly the same.

The only possibility is that they watched the two-hour movie "Truman's World" instead of the reality show "Truman's World!"

After saying that, the student looked proud, as if he had discovered something!

The surrounding audience was also stunned by what he said, and felt as if it was like that.

", I didn't even see it, there is still this deep meaning!"

"So, those two security guards are actually talking about us spectators?"

"It's scary to think about it, the security guard is watching a movie, we are watching the security guard watch a movie. ”

"Will someone be watching us or the security guards watching a movie?"

"That's really the case, so the two security guards weren't too excited, they just wanted to change to other channels after watching it, just like we watched the movie and did other things!"

"Li Qian is awesome, this is to shoot us in!"

......

Listening to the students in the audience, they were startled, and then looked at the triumphant student, the corners of Li Qian's mouth twitched.

Hehe, in the end, it's a young man, and the real Gil can pull it.

.......

Time passed day by day, Li Qian ran back and forth in the capital, and on January 10, the 85th Academy Awards finally announced the list of nominees.

"Truman's World" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, along with four films from four countries: Novi, Zhili, Carnada, and Odili.

Since "Hero", this is the first time in ten years that a mainland film has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!
