"Really? "Shang Hai Fortress" is so popular?" Li He held the phone and listened to the news that Da Mi Mi told him, a little unbelievable.
"It's not just a street attack, it's really bad. Fortunately, you are hiding abroad, otherwise you would have to say a few nice words to repay others' favor. Now I have been scolded by some netizens." Da Mi Mi looked very innocent.
Li He smiled helplessly and said: "I have wronged you, but you still want to repay Lu Xiaohan's favor for me."
"If you feel wronged, just buy me a set of bags..." Da Mi Mi said coquettishly.
"No problem, I'll buy it for you."
Comforting Da Mi Mi, Li He hung up the phone and sighed. Lu Xiaohan helped him promote "The Wandering Earth" before. This time Da Mi Mi also helped with the promotion and returned the favor. But the film is really
It was so bad that even the celebrities who supported it were scolded by netizens.
To be fair, Li Hyuk actually did not want "Fortress of Shang Hai" to hit the street, or in other words, "Fortress of Shang Hai" should not hit the street with this quality. This would be a fatal blow to the entire domestic science fiction movies in China. It is very likely that before
The good situation created once returned to before liberation.
Netizens said it well, "The Wandering Earth" opened the door to domestic science fiction movies, and "Shanghai Fortress" hit the streets again.
Due to the failure of "Fortress of Shang Hai", even Guo Fan's plan to film "The Wandering Earth 2" was affected. China Film and Huali Film and Television Bona Pictures held an emergency meeting and decided to postpone the project of "The Wandering Earth 2".
Let's wait until the "Shanghai Fortress" thing comes to an end.
To be honest, Li He actually thinks Lu Xiaohan is quite innocent. Although his acting is not good, it is still OK to act in an idol drama. However, Lu Xiaohan cannot handle such a grand subject as a science fiction film.
From investors, to directors, to screenwriters, everyone has a stake. Li Hyuk is an insider and knows the inside story that ordinary audiences don’t know. For example, if the film invested 350 million, the director only got 200 million, of which 150 million.
Hundreds of millions have gone and I don’t know where they have gone.
And with 200 million in funds, after paying the film remuneration, how much money is left for filming? This is all a question. In addition, Jiang Nan, who served as the screenwriter, had discussed changing the script with Teng Huatao many times, but they were all rejected, so that the script
The quality is extremely poor.
Insufficient funds, incompetent actors, incompetent directors, and incompetent screenwriters all led to the disastrous failure of "Fortress of Shanghai".
Based on the consideration of the overall environment, Li Hyuk began to worry about the market for domestic science fiction films, which was closely related to his interests.
Li He looked at the sea in the distance and began to worry. Nolan came over at this time. Seeing Li He's appearance, he asked: "Li, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Li Hyuk originally had no intention of telling Nolan about this, but then he thought about it, Nolan is also a famous science fiction film director, maybe he can provide him with some advice, so Li Hyuk made "Fortress of Shanghai" a disastrous failure at the box office and reputation.
I was worried about myself and told Nolan about the idea of the "Wandering Earth 2" project.
"That's it," Nolan said thoughtfully after hearing this. He touched his chin and said to Li He, "Actually, I think this is not a bad thing."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details..." Li He pricked up his ears to listen to Nolan's opinion.
Nolan said: "I haven't seen the "Fortress of Shanghai" you mentioned. I don't know what it is like, but I have seen "The Wandering Earth". The film quality is good and your performance in it is great."
"Thank you, this is my duty as an actor." Li He said modestly.
Nolan continued: "Both films are Chinese science fiction films, so they will inevitably be compared. Without comparison, there will be no harm. I remember that "The Wandering Earth" was China's box office champion this year. Not only your domestic media,
Many media outlets in North America and Europe have given this film high praise, calling it a pioneer of Chinese science fiction films.
"The Wandering Earth" shows audiences around the world what real Chinese science fiction films are, and invisibly establishes a cornerstone for future Chinese science fiction films in the hearts of the audience. This will let the audience know what Chinese science fiction films can do.
The height reached, so once the standard is established, the audience will compare it themselves.”
Nolan's words suddenly made Li He realize. Yes, although the fiasco of "Fortress of Shang Hai" apparently destroyed the vitality of domestic science fiction movies, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is because the movie is bad that the audience does not buy it.
.
Because the audience has experienced the movie-watching craze of "The Wandering Earth" before, in the minds of the audience, "The Wandering Earth" has established a qualifying line for domestic science fiction movies. If any domestic science fiction film cannot reach this passing line, it will fail.
The audience will no longer be kept in the dark by false propaganda, and those excuses in the past will no longer work. Blame the censorship, technology, and environment. Let’s take a look at how “The Wandering Earth” did it!
"Thank you, Director Nolan, your words suddenly enlightened me." Li He said gratefully.
Nolan waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, this is the inevitable law of development. I just look at it from the perspective of an outsider."
"You are really a movie genius," Li He said with a smile: "There are still many people in China who hope that you can direct the movie "The Three-Body Problem" one day in the future."
"Oh? Is it that science fiction movie? Maybe there will be a chance in the future!" Nolan responded casually, not taking Li He's joke to heart.
However, neither of them would have thought that a casual joke would turn into a prophecy...
Li He suddenly became enlightened, but Lu Xiaohan was unhappy. In his own home, he broke all his favorite cups. He also loved to see other people's comments about him, but the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.
The agent rushed over and saw the mess all over the floor. He was very helpless. This scene had appeared many times after the release of "Fortress of Shang Hai". This time, it was a big blow to Lu Xiaohan.
"It's time for us to consider the next step. Now that the situation is in danger, it's time to consider transformation." The broker said.
Lu Xiaohan sat slumped on the sofa, feeling depressed: "How to transform? This time I lost such a big loss on a movie. Who will dare to film with me in the future?"
"If we can't make a movie, we can make a TV series. Look at Li Hyuk, he also shoots movies, and the TV series is not delayed. "Celebrating More Than Years" is so popular, we can return to the TV series market, wait for the opportunity, and come back to make movies in the future."
persuaded.
Lu Xiaohan nodded: "What you said makes sense, what should we do next?"
The agent was overjoyed and opened his mailbox to read a script to Lu Xiaohan: "Penguin's new project invites you to be the leading actor in "Cross Fire."
"Isn't Penguin cooperating with Da Mi Mi Studio? If you want to find one, you should also ask Li Hyuk."
"Their initial candidate was indeed Li Hyuk, but Li Hyuk's schedule was full, so they found you." The agent replied.
"That's good, you get in touch first, be careful this time, I want to review the script myself." Lu Xiaohan said.
"I understand, don't worry." The manager nodded and left. Before leaving, he asked someone to clean up the messy scene.
