Chapter 514 'I'm Not the God of Medicine' is scheduled to be released
After the popularity of the show "The Masked Singer" and the Faceless Man lasted for nearly a week, it finally began to fade away.
Of course, the audience has long been accustomed to the update frequency of the program itself.
As for when the finals can be seen, new viewers are still tirelessly urging updates, while old viewers have long been accustomed to it.
Anyway, the only thing left in the program is the finals.
When the time comes, the identity of the faceless man will naturally be exposed.
On the contrary, there is no need to rush.
Many music critics or media even hope that the final will never be broadcast and the identity of the Faceless Man will always be a secret.
Anyway, as long as there is no heat or when the news can be reported.
Just take out all the tidbits about the Faceless Man and take a look around.
This matter itself has its own popularity, so there is almost no need to worry about whether it will attract attention.
...
Of course, the most interesting thing in the finals of "The Masked Singer" is the public opinion about the confrontation between the two major songwriters Xu Ji and the Faceless Man. There has been a lot of discussion from the outside world, but there has been no response from the two parties involved.
It's okay for Xu Ji. After all, he's not a real singer on stage, he's just responsible for writing songs for Yu Feifei, but the faceless man also seems to be extraordinarily low-key.
This final, which was not very exciting, still made many people feel a little disappointed.
Of course, both of them are very famous, so the popularity of this final is bound to be high.
Regarding this situation, although many people know that the true identity of the Faceless Man has not yet been announced, they all believe that after the final reveal, even the Faceless Man will have a chance to be directly included in the list of super first-line songwriters.
Many people even think that it would not be unreasonable for the Faceless Man to win the title of King of Songs.
Because the true identity has not been announced, the Faceless Man has missed out on a lot of so-called honors and reputations.
For example, the two major music awards, as well as the official songwriter and singer lists, all require real-name registration.
Since the Faceless Man participated in the "Masked Singer" program, almost every episode of the program has been able to produce a hit single of high quality.
It is obviously not a problem to be shortlisted for Golden Notes or Moon Night Sonata.
I can only say that I missed it because of this show.
Of course, the Faceless Man himself didn't complain or say anything.
Most netizens naturally think that Faceless Man is very confident and does not value these awards as much as ordinary musicians.
In other words, when the finals are revealed, it will not be a problem to use new works to win these awards and honors.
Although this statement is a bit too arrogant, after all, the two major music awards represent China's highest achievements.
But most people still firmly believe it.
Just like Xu Zhi from the past, everyone thought he was just a newcomer.
But now, to put it a bit exaggerated, Xu Ji has almost won both major music awards.
Not only did he want to win awards, but all the singers under Tongji also won a bunch of awards.
Every time Tongji receives an award and purchases goods, it is also well-founded.
The current Faceless Man is considered by many to be the only one who can compete with Xu Ji for dominance in the Chinese music scene.
Of course, for Xu Ji at this time, there was really no need for him to spend his time on it.
Mainly because there are more important things to do.
...
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" has finally been officially finalized and has entered the announcement stage.
It will be released at the end of June, just in time for the summer season.
Overall, this news is definitely good news for ordinary netizens.
Xu Ji's last movie was last year. Many viewers have been looking forward to the new movie for a long time, and this time they finally got it.
The starring actors Chen Kang, Wan Rongli and others, with the support of the two great movie stars, plus some other supporting roles, are nothing more than some acting talents with relatively rich acting experience.
This lineup is quite attractive.
Thanks to Tongji's efforts over the years, in today's Chinese film and television industry, the so-called popular celebrities are no longer the so-called box office secrets.
The environment in which good money drives out bad money is a good sign for many actors who concentrate on acting.
Chen Kang and Wan Rongli are not the kind of stars who rely on fans, but in terms of popularity, relying on the high-quality works in the past, they definitely have a very high box office appeal.
Of course, this news is really bad news for some other film and television companies, especially those whose new movies are scheduled to be released in the summer.
Although Xu Ji has not yet reached the top position as a top-tier director, the box office of each movie has been able to achieve a very high figure.
This time Xu Ji's film is scheduled to be released in the summer, which means that during this mid-year holiday, which was not originally very difficult, the competitive environment in the film market suddenly became difficult.
...
"Judging from the released trailer, Xu Ji's new movie is quite interesting!"
At this time, Sang Shaolong seemed a little excited after seeing the news that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was scheduled to be released.
Originally, the summer schedule this time was actually a bit lackluster in terms of the movie list that he knew was going to be released.
Most of them are mainly youth romance movies. After all, it is still a summer movie. Most of the people who have the time and energy to go to the theater are students.
In fact, this situation is not too surprising.
It's just that this time Xu Ji's new movie is completely different from his previous style.
Judging from the trailer, it seems to be a realistic-themed film.
Such a feature film can hardly reap the benefits of some related themes, and can only rely on the script of the film itself to win.
This kind of business model still has disadvantages.
Of course, if it were compared to other directors, Sang Shaolong would still be worried.
A realistic-themed movie is released in the form of a commercial film. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to get a high box office.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The quality of the movie itself is also a big problem.
There is a high probability that it will be due to the script, either the plot is unreasonable, or the characters are thin, etc.
But Xu Ji's control over the script should be almost the top among Chinese screenwriters.
There has never been any overturning situation before, so Sang Shaolong trusts the other party so much.
Of course, at present, it can be easily seen that Xu Ji's movies should be based on realistic themes.
But the specific plot is still too vague, or it is impossible to guess the specific plot of the movie just from a trailer and introduction.
...
"There was indeed a problem with the review of "I'm Not the God of Medicine."
"Fortunately, it finally passed."
"But judging from Duan Lao's words, the officials still value our movie very seriously."
Xu Ji said with some emotion.
Because the plot of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" does have sensitive aspects.
Of course, the original film in the previous life was like this, and relevant adaptations have been made.
It can be regarded as avoiding some troublesome things.
Although the review in this world is more relaxed, it does not mean that officials such as the TVB and Radio Broadcasting Bureau will not pay attention to these things.
Moreover, the prototype of the protagonist in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" does not exist in this world.
But the social phenomena inside are real things.
That's why the review of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" won't be as long as Xu Wei's previous films.
And because of this movie, Duan Shengyu even specifically talked to Xu Ji.
Although the review process is somewhat time-consuming, the other party is still very supportive of Xu Ji being able to make such a movie.
The personal relationship with Xu Ji is on the one hand, but more importantly is the plot of the movie itself.
Duan Shengyu has always said that this young man Xu Ji is more special than other directors in the entertainment industry.
What I'm talking about here is not how great Xu Ji is, and Xu Ji doesn't need to prove this now. As a super first-line director, he is already considered to be one of the top directors in the entire film and television industry, whether it is awards or box office.
What's more important is that many plots in Xu Ji's movies are still relatively in line with official ideas.
Although some of the plots are indeed sensitive, it must be said that the stories in Xu Ji's script are naturally focused by people in the system like Duan Shengyu.
It can be seen from some official tribute dramas and tribute films in the past that other directors are more like filming to complete their tasks.
Xu Ji, on the other hand, seemed to be taking advantage of official arrangements to take pictures of what he wanted to take.
That's why the work appears to be so spiritual, unlike those previous gift films that were heavily preachy and offended ordinary audiences.
...
"But I think the official side means that we may need to control the scale a little bit in the early announcement of the movie."
"At the very least, we need to wait until the movie is officially released and arouses discussion among the audience. They will then come forward to guide the direction of public opinion."
After thinking for a while, Youman also spoke.
He must have watched the original film of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", so he is fairly familiar with the plot of the film.
Naturally, we are aware of the sensitivities in this area. The most important thing is that if we don't pay attention to it, this matter may cause public opinion to develop in a bad direction.
Xu Ji also nodded.
"Actually, I've thought of this a long time ago."
"And the reason why this review took so long is probably because there are many other considerations."
"Of course, I just have a simple guess. Mr. Duan didn't tell me directly."
"But we can just follow the normal movie release process."
"Actually, it doesn't have any impact."
Youman still had a worried expression.
"Actually, our movies don't pay much attention to publicity."
"The main thing is that we don't need to spend more time on publicity. Once the news of the film's release date is released, netizens are already very enthusiastic in discussing it."
"This was originally a good thing, saving publicity and distribution costs, but if we follow the official requirements, it will become an uncontrollable trouble."
After hearing Youman's words, Xu Ji actually knew exactly what the other party was worried about.
In short, the audience pays too much attention to Tongji's works, which is a good thing at other times. It means that their influence is high enough and the audience's enthusiasm does not require too much publicity to achieve a high reputation.
It's just that this time "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is indeed a bit special.
According to Duan Shengyu, the movie itself should be more low-key before its official release.
It is best not to guide public opinion and discuss it before it is released.
Of course, Xu Ji also has some guesses of his own, but now, there is no way to really confirm it.
"Actually, there is no need to be so anxious."
"In the promotional video of our movie, it is definitely impossible for people to guess the plot content."
"As long as we don't deliberately release news or explain too much, there won't be any problem."
From a trailer, you definitely can’t tell the specific plot.
Even this trailer has a bit of an editing style that leans towards the suspense films that Tongji was good at in the past.
Of course, the reality-themed drama film itself has been mentioned in advance, and it will definitely let people know that this film is not the suspense film of the past.
But the plot is also different from some traditional movies. It is harder to guess the specific plot just from a simple trailer.
In the final analysis, Youman should indeed be worried, but there is no need to be so careful.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the authorities to let it pass the review.
"Yeah, I hope I'm thinking too much."
Youman also nodded and said.
In fact, she had seen the movie, but she didn't think it would be a high box office hit.
But the practical significance will definitely exceed imagination.
But for Tongji now, the box office of the movie is actually not that important.
Anyway, the money-making projects are no different than Xu Ji’s.
...
In Beijing, a meeting was being held in the Radio and Television Bureau at this time.
"Everyone must pay attention to the release of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" this time."
Duan Shengyu's expression was serious.
In fact, if it was just a movie like this, he probably wouldn't be so concerned about it.
But "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is really something special.
It’s not just that the publisher of this film is Tong Ji and the director is Xu Ji.
It's because of the plot of the movie itself.
"Mr. Duan, we don't need to pay so much attention to it."
"Although the plot of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a little more sensitive, it's not to this extent..."
The people from the TV and Radio Bureau couldn't help but mutter.
The main reason is that Duan Shengyu's importance is obviously beyond everyone's imagination.
Now that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has been reviewed, there is no need to focus on it in the future.
"Just follow the arrangements."
"Don't ask any more questions about this matter."
Duan Shengyu spoke directly without answering the other party's question directly.
Of course, because of Duan Shengyu's identity, it is easy to know some other official information.
The reason why "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has attracted such high attention this time.
Or because the timing was too coincidental, even Duan Shengyu almost thought that Xu Ji did it on purpose.
But he knew that it was probably just a coincidence, and it was unlikely that Xu Ji knew that information in advance.
This time, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was reviewed not only by their Film and Television Bureau, but also by other official departments.
On the other hand, Xu Ji's performance in this film was also taken seriously.
