Ma Xiaogang has been in a good mood lately.

After the defeat of "Night Banquet", in fact, his situation in the past year has not been as beautiful as it seems.

However, he firmly believes that the war blockbuster "Assembly" created by himself will definitely be able to sweep the Chinese New Year stalls and sweep away the previous decline.

What's more, the only opponent is Chen Kexin's "Vote for Fame".

Big director + Li Lianjie + Liu Dehua + Jin Chengwu, it seems that this lineup can be killed in seconds "Assembly Number".

He may have had some concerns the day before yesterday, but yesterday "Vote for Fame" invited a group of film critics and media to participate in the preview screening.

The result was well received, which was what he expected, after all, it was a combination of Chen Kexin + Zhang Jinzhan + Cheng Xiaodong, literary drama, martial arts, and large-scale scenes, and there were almost no shortcomings in terms of technology, and the three of them were all top directors of the same type.

Even many critics have called it the best costume blockbuster, no less than "Hero".

It's just that several familiar film critics have said that this movie may have a certain threshold for ordinary audiences and requires a certain amount of historical knowledge.

In addition, it is too depressing, and it is not suitable for the Chinese New Year.

And the version they watched in the test screening was uncut, and the previous optoelectronic review was not passed, and it was deleted for ten minutes.

These familiar film critics have the same tastes as Ma Xiaogang, otherwise they wouldn't be able to play together.

Ma Xiaogang thinks that he is the director who knows best what the audience wants to see in China, since his friends say so, he can't be wrong.

And he also watched the original version of "The Case of the Stabbing Horse" in his early years, and revisited it two months ago, knowing himself and his opponent.

Even if it is changed, it is estimated that it will not be completely detached from this story, and the core should be the same, so it is indeed not so easy to sell out.

Even if there are three superstars, Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, and Jin Chengwu, Ma Xiaogang is not afraid at all.

Previously, Li Lianlian's monoclonal antibody's "Huo Yuanjia" broke 100 million at the box office, but that was the type that Li Lianlian was best at.

And "Casting the Name" is also a movie of the late Qing Dynasty, but Li Lian's role is completely different from any of his previous roles.

As for Liu Dehua and Kim Sung-moo, it is undeniable that they are unquestionable superstars throughout Asia.

But the two of them together are not as appealing as Li Lianjie.

The content of the movie itself is not easy to sell well, and the box office appeal of the actors and directors is not as good as their own.

That's right, Ma Xiaogang is so confident, leaving Li Lianjie + Liu Dehua + Jin Chengwu + Chen Kexin, who are good at his own type, can't compare to the appeal of his mainland film industry.

This is the appeal he has accumulated in the past ten years with works that the audience likes!

Ma Xiaogang, who is in a good mood, is now much calmer with Deng Chaodu, and sometimes he talks and laughs, and is no longer often the kind of estranged politeness.

He himself was not aiming for Deng Chao, in fact, Deng Chao's performance made him very satisfied.

What he is unhappy about is only the actor designated by others, no matter who the actor is or how he acts, he is just unhappy.

"Han Yu, Deng Chao, when will your drama be released?"

In the car rushing to the cinema roadshow, Ma Xiaogang asked about the "Frequency of Life and Death" filmed by the two of them.

"On December 30th, the premiere doesn't seem to have been set yet. Zhang Hanyu said.

"I'll take a look when I'm free, I seem to have heard that you two are playing father and son this time?"

Just played brothers and comrades-in-arms in "Assembly", and after finishing playing father and son in another movie, Ma Xiaogang was a little curious about what kind of father and son the two of them could play.

Soon, the car drove to the destination of the roadshow, the downstairs of the shopping mall where the movie theater was located.

When they went up, it happened that the movie was over, and they just entered the venue.

Facing the cheers of the audience, Ma Xiaogang walked in with the crew and waved at the audience.

The roadshow also took pictures with the fans, interacted with them, and chatted after the end.

and dealing with Ma Xiaogang's most hated reporters.

soon came to the part he hated the most, but a director at his level, he has no scruples, he doesn't have to pay attention to the image, he scolds when he should scold, sprays when he squirts, and he is not a star anyway.

However, today's interview was quite normal, until he suddenly caught a glimpse of the somewhat familiar figure of the first brother in the back row.

The man didn't squeeze forward like the other reporters, so he didn't hurry to stand in the back row.

After a while, all the questions that should be asked were finished, and he squeezed away a few of his peers in front of him and came up.

This person is Zhang Yang, but he is not in a hurry, don't look at these people Rory asked a lot of questions, in fact, there is no nutrition at all.

"Hello Director Ma, I'm Zhang Yang, a reporter from Sina Entertainment, a small-scale screening was held before "Casting a Name", and the reputation is very good, and industry insiders praise this as the best costume blockbuster in recent years, what do you think of Director Ma?"

Ma Xiaogang knew Zhang Yang, and after the press conference left that day, it was rumored in the entertainment industry that he was forced to leave halfway by a small reporter, which made him lose his face.

And since then, he can often be seen in public, and every interview is more and more insidious, as if he is eyeing himself.

Ma Xiaogang suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said lightly, "That, I haven't watched the screening yet, so I don't have any opinions." ”

""Casting for Fame" has a good reputation, Director Ma, do you think there will be pressure on "Assembly"?"

"The pressure is mutual, and it is precisely with one good movie after another that our Chinese film industry can develop better and better. ”

"Recently, there is a science fiction movie "Frequency of Life and Death" set for December 30th, the director of this movie is Li Qian, who has filmed the two classic movies "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Jaws", this time he brought a new sci-fi film that took a month to shoot and aims to impact the New Year file, Director Ma, do you think that the New Year file has added an additional opponent, will it have any impact on the box office of "Assembly Number"?"

"I don't think it will have any impact, there are more Chinese New Year movies, and naturally people will come to watch them after they are filmed. ”

However, director Li Qian's previous "Jaws" set a record of 4 million views, and this time it landed in the Chinese New Year file, and also shouted the goal of breaking 100 million at the box office, if it is achieved, it will be the youngest member of the 100 million yuan box office club in China. ”

Goal to break 100 million?

Ma Xiaogang was shocked at this time, as if the director was only in his early twenties, and he had such a big tone at a young age, which was really unprecedented.

Thinking about it again, it seems that the movie he just said was made in a month.

Ma Xiaogang has not paid attention to this, and Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao have not taken the initiative to talk about the filming of "Frequency of Life and Death", for fear that he will be unhappy again.

"You just said that the film was only made for a month, or is it a science fiction film? ”

"There is also the box office of 100 million for the first time when you make a movie, young people should still be down-to-earth, and they can't become a big fat man by eating one bite. ”

Ma Xiaogang immediately took out the shelf of his predecessors and looked like educating his juniors.

He had seen a conceited young man, but a young man with such a conceit level had never seen anything before.

If you want to break 100 million in the first movie, you just grab the money.

He didn't feel that what he said was too much, this is to criticize the juniors, it is the norm in any industry, and young people have to accept it with an open mind.

But that's all, "The Assembly" is the main theme movie, and it needs to be supported by the government, if you scold this and that on the news every day, it will not affect the above.

Zhang Yang wanted to say more words step by step, but he didn't expect Ma Xiaogang to change his personality this time, so he could only return disappointed.

However, he went to inquire about the movements of the crew of "Frequency of Life and Death" again, and was ready to provoke Li Qian.

Looking at the recent situation, this Li Qian is also an arrogant person, it is best to let him and Ma Xiaogang spray each other in the air.

However, he was disappointed again, the release of "Frequency of Life and Death" was still early, and after the announcement of the finalization was the press conference, Li Qian would not appear for half a month, and he would not be able to see it if he wanted to.

However, this does not affect the news he posted.

"Shoot a movie in a month, Ma Xiaogang angrily denounced that theatrical movies are not big online movies, and Li Qian, the director of "Frequency of Life and Death", doesn't know how thick the sky is!"

Similar news has already been typed, and I quickly tapped on the keyboard, and soon wrote two press releases, which were posted on the entertainment edition of Xinlang.

Now the discussion about the Chinese New Year file is "Vote for Fame" and "Assembly Number", and there is no new news, as soon as the news of Ma Xiaogang's "angry reprimand" of Li Qian came out, it attracted the attention of netizens.

Of course, there are also ideas from peers, and borrowing is also a common way in the media.

What if there is no news?

Wouldn't it be your own news to learn from other people's news and polish it!

........

"Li Qian, Ma Xiaogang seems to be scolding you?"

In the studio, Tong Liya saw this news and immediately called Li Qian to come and see it.

"This horse cannon..."

Li Qian was also speechless, he obviously didn't do anything, he didn't touch porcelain or hype anything, how could he catch himself again.

However, after taking a closer look at the news, Li Qian shook his head, "It's made up, the longer the news, the more fake it is, and writing so much is through a large number of suggestive words, and changing modifiers and adjectives, repeatedly emphasizing, guiding netizens in this direction, and then thinking that this is true, the usual way of writing in the media." ”

Ma Da Cannon has a bad temper, and the most typical one is to face dozens of reporters, scolding reporters for looking for pumps, shameless, and excited.

However, for the actors and directors in the circle, there is almost no direct scolding, that is, two sarcastic sentences of yin and yang.

But although it is not as serious as in this news, Ma Xiaogang must have said something.

It doesn't matter, people help promote it for free, Li Qian can't wait to scold him until the movie is released, and he doesn't have to pay for publicity, and then Li Qian can scold him in the air.

"It's not too early, let's go, go to the movies. ”

is also idle, Li Qian will accompany Tong Liya to go out to play and relax.

"Let's go!"

Tong Liya jumped to Li Qian's left hand side with a quick leap and grabbed his arm.

At this time, Guo Fan rushed over with a manuscript in his hand.

"Boss, I've written the script, you can show me. ”

"Tomorrow, I'll show you tomorrow. ”

After replying, Li Qian took Tong Liya out.
