Although "The Man from Earth 2", which had high hopes, did not flop completely, it was treated like a waterloo.
There are no other Hollywood blockbusters to be released in China, and it seems to have fallen into a short dormant period.
During this period, there were several films released by directors such as Zhang Tong and Li Hao.
They are all comedies, and the box office performance of the films is not bad, and they have made a small profit. However, Chinese comedies are very cheating when they are released abroad. Those old Americans think that the laughs are embarrassing and the expressiveness is quite reserved...
In short, whether it is Zhang Tong or Li Hao's comedy movies, they are basically gold-plated at a loss and of no use when they go abroad.
Li You was quite depressed.
"Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was supposed to be released in China in July, but Li You went to Venice to be released without review. Although the movie won an award, there were some inconsistencies in the movie.
The regulations of Chinese Doctrine appeared, so there were many rectification opinions from relevant departments, and a set of rules and regulations were put in place. Li You found that his movie had to be postponed until August...
In August, Hollywood's first film "California Nights" will be released in China. What else will you do at that time?
Besides, some plots were edited out of the movie, which made Li You feel that the movie was incomplete and lost the flavor he wanted.
Of course, Li You is not dissatisfied, nor does he dare to be dissatisfied.
In fact, he did not do anything with the film before and showed it in Venice without authorization, which already violated some regulations of the relevant departments. It is a blessing that the relevant departments did not deal with it and gave him some rectification suggestions.
Noisy?
He's making a fuss, unless he's out of his mind.
Compared with director Zhang Tong, Li You is an artistic director, full of artistic ideas.
On July 5th, Li You went to Lu Yuan's company to present the Venice Best Screenplay Award and drank a large bottle of wine at the same time.
After drinking, this man clamored that in the future he would continue to pursue the ultimate art of film and bring a new experience to everyone. Sometimes he laughed, and sometimes he felt depressed, just like a madman.
Lu Yuan could tell that he really loved art, but seeing that he had a shaggy beard and looked like a weird uncle, something suddenly came to Lu Yuan's mind that shouldn't have come to mind.
"Director Li..."
"What?"
"No, it's nothing."
"Xiao Lu, if you have something to say, don't hesitate."
"Have you ever thought about the art of island country action movies?"
"What?"
"nothing……"
"oh."
As the sun set, Li Youmang got into the car and looked blankly at Lu Yuan with a silly smile on his face, and then the car slowly left Hengdian.
Island country action film art?
Li You muttered these meanings silently. Then, after driving for two hours and getting on the plane at Hangcheng Airport, Li You's eyes suddenly lit up.
He seems to have some enlightenment!
seem……
Is the shooting format going to be slightly changed?
Action art?
It was as if he saw a brand new door opened for him.
Outside the gate, it seems to be another world.
Of course, he didn't think Lu Yuan was joking on him.
After all, he felt that Lu Yuan himself was a knowledgeable and meaningful person, and action movies could not refer to those "martial arts" movies on small movie websites.
…………………………
Lu Yuan didn't know that his joke had led Li You astray.
He didn't even know that his joke made Li You realize some messy artistic expressions.
Once enlightened, will the day soar?
Well, Lu Yuan felt that these things had nothing to do with him at all.
The days passed day by day, and three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
Inevitably, the album sales of "Stubborn" and "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" began to decline. Both albums fell below 200,000, reaching the same starting line.
The popularity of these two albums on the Internet has also begun to slowly decrease, and the final outcome is basically doomed.
"Stubborn" occupied the first place with 7.2 million, and "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" ranked second with 6.3 million. After more than half a month of struggle, the two albums became the winners in June and July, standing out from the crowd.
After the dynamic group saw that their two albums were beginning to weaken, they immediately launched a new round of publicity campaign in an attempt to save this embarrassing situation. After all, Tiantuan's albums can't be so misleading, right?
It's a pity that the same sentence remains. Many times, no matter how hard people try, they can't play against the trend.
The trend tells you to go this way, but if you go against it, you will be cheating. No matter how many fans you have, it will be of no use to you.
Unless, like world king singer Mike Weiss, you can directly create a trend and be at the forefront, otherwise you can only accept your fate.
The album of the dynamic group was a huge hit.
"Stubborn" and "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" can at least stabilize at 200,000 copies a day, but their album "Breaking Dawn"...
In about ten days, the number dropped from hundreds of thousands to 100,000, shrinking every day.
No matter how hard I try to accept interviews from major media, online live broadcasts of offline album signings and other events are completely useless.
It would be okay if they could occupy the hot spots and make a profit, but when they saw that the hot spots on the Internet were full of official news about the appearance of some well-known pianists in China, they became desperate...
The Communist Youth League’s Weibo announced Brando’s visit to China as a guest. It also announced that some well-known domestic pianists would participate in this event. How would they seize the spotlight?
One is an out-and-out official mainstream art, and the other is a down-to-earth love song in the entertainment industry.
How can this compare?
The two are not on the same level at all!
"According to the latest news, the world's top pianists Kennedy and Edward will participate in the exchange meeting with Brando that day, and the famous British pianist Little Lant will also enter..."
"This will be a moment of artistic collision between Chinese pianists and pianists from all over the world. This will be the ultimate music event and a palace-level existence for all piano lovers!"
"..."
On the Internet, news about this exchange meeting is becoming more and more frequent.
At the same time, with the addition of Edward and others, Brando originally thought it was just a simple meeting, but now the plot is starting to become more and more wrong.
………………………………
After Lu Yuan saw this series of news, he suddenly felt suffocated.
this……
Is the game so big now?
Lu Yuan swallowed.
He used to be a very calm person, but now he finds that he is not calm at all!
Although I have been practicing piano these days, I also take a look at the profound knowledge of piano arrangement when I have time, and I have made a lot of progress, but...
How do you communicate at such an awesome event?
How to communicate?
If I participate, with my current status as a cheater, I will have to communicate and speak. Not only will I communicate and speak, I might even be pushed on stage to show off.
Pretending?
Damn it!
Where can I pretend to be a chicken?
Although Lu Yuan knew a lot of other piano melodies and understood a lot, he really couldn't help it when he was asked to play one again in full.
It's impossible for him to end those super classics in his mind, such as "Destiny" and "Moonlight Sonata", at the very beginning while still having a climax, right?
How does this work?
He has no system!
He found that he had fallen into a completely deceptive state.
The goddess of luck had been favoring him in the past few days and brought him good luck, but now this good luck has completely disappeared.
He felt that a huge crisis was slowly approaching him and enveloped him.
etc!
Things seem to be taking a turn for the better!
Lu Yuan stared at the headlines on the Internet, and then he was overjoyed!
Weibo said that this is a grand hall that all Chinese Piano Association board members are eligible to participate in, and I...
Forget about being a member of the board of directors, you are not even a member of the Piano Association, okay?
When he thought of this, his initially panicky mood instantly became more comfortable.
Yes!
I am nothing, what am I doing?
It just so happens that I have a reason, right?
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's up?"
"Chen Qingsong, the vice president of the Chinese Piano Association, is ready to come to the company to meet you in person."
"What? What did you say, I didn't hear clearly..."
"Chen Qingsong, the vice president of the Chinese Piano Association, just asked his secretary to give me a call. He means that he hopes to come and meet you in person and apologize for the dereliction of duty of their association..."
"What kind of dereliction of duty?" Lu Yuan was confused.
"They should have invited you to become a member of the Chinese Piano Association a long time ago. However, several directors under him have neglected you. There is no place for you in the Chinese Piano Association. This makes him feel very sorry. He has already transferred that person
The director who failed in his duties has been dismissed, and now he personally comes to invite you..."
"No, no, no... you tell him to thank him for his kindness. I appreciate it, but ask him not to come all the way here... Actually, it's a small thing, and I don't care... and I don't think I have
What qualifications do you have to join the Piano Association..." Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand.
"Mr. Lu, I know you are speaking out of anger, but I heard that the president of the Piano Association was furious about this matter and scolded the directors for more than half an hour..." Wu Tingting looked at Lu
Far.
In fact, she feels that the attitude of the Piano Association is very good, and at the same time, it has done enough to give her face.
"I'm not angry... I'm telling the truth..." Lu Yuan spread his hands speechlessly.
"Mr. Lu, in order to show his sincerity, the vice president even came to apologize in person... We can't leave others alone, right?" Wu Tingting looked at Lu Yuan.
"Okay... okay... let's meet then."
Lu Yuan was silent for a while.
He suddenly felt that it would be better if he just told the matter.
