Chapter 117 This movie was released directly without the premiere (for the hope in the heart of the leader
Time has entered December, and the Internet has begun to be agitated by several movies released in the New Year. The producers of these movies are also unable to sit still and have begun to show their talents.
Today you send out a trailer, tomorrow I will send out a new poster, you hold a press conference, I will put on a variety show, all kinds of jokes are also popular, theaters across the country have begun to display several movie promotions The posters and the leading actors of several movies also got into the mood in advance and began to slowly promote it across the country. The Internet is full of news about these movies every day.
"Please say hello to everyone."
At a certain promotional site for "Alien", the beautiful host said with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I am middle-aged actor Huang Bo."
"Hello everyone, I am Shen Teng, a new generation actor."
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and the female host was so amused that she covered her mouth and chuckled. These two people really have a lot of fun together. Together with the famous comedy director Ning Hao, this movie is the box office hit in the New Year that everyone expected. The first is not surprising.
So far, the momentum of "Alien" has been dominated by one company even during the Spring Festival season, with Lin Juan's "The Monkey King" ranking second, while "Escape from the Solar System" can only be ranked third. , after all, there is only one Wu Jing who is considered a top actor, and the director is not a well-known director. The next one is Xingye's "The New King of Comedy".
Later there will be Lin Juan's old rival "Pu Songling", eh...
It seems that Lin Juan meets Uncle Long in every movie he makes...
"Flying Life" is also an old rival. This New Year's release is really a fight between gods.
After a hilarious interview, the host asked: "What are the three expectations for this movie?"
"The higher, of course, the better." Huang Bo immediately took it as a matter of course. Shen Teng waved his hand in disgust and said, "They are asking for specific numbers. Personally, my goal is not big, three. About four billion."
"You're not that big yet." Huang Bo said funny.
"You always have to have dreams."
The female host had to interrupt them, otherwise the two of them would have a whole conversation.
"So what do you think of the other movies in the New Year's season? Or which movie makes you feel the most threatened? Director Ning?"
When Ning Hao saw that the topic was raised to him, he thought about it and said: "Every movie in the New Year's season is excellent. I have to say that every movie puts pressure on me. But the biggest one should be directed by Kobayashi." "The Monkey King".
Huang Bo and Shen Teng both nodded. They also talked about this topic in private. They agreed that the strongest opponent should be "The Monkey King". The highly anticipated new director Lin Juan, who debuted just one year ago, He has already won the title of great director, whether it is stable or not is another matter, but there are definitely many fans who are looking forward to him.
Coupled with the emergence of Xingye and the new generation of acting master Zhang Shan, this lineup is not weak at all.
However, it depends on Lin Juan's storytelling ability and whether he can hold it steady. After all, "The Monkey King" is a character that is well known to movie fans across the country, and it can easily collapse if he is not careful.
Next, the three people praised Lin Juan, and Huang Bo even jokingly said that he hoped to cooperate if there was a chance, which also gave Lin Juan enough face.
The same goes for "Escape from the Solar System". After Jing Ge revealed the whole process of being tricked and abducted at the press conference, when a reporter asked him which movie in the New Year's season made him feel the most stressed, he smiled without hesitation and said: "Of course it's "Alien". Huang Bo and Shen Teng are both excellent comedians. Plus director Ning, I don't have the confidence to compare."
The reporters were not surprised. They smiled and asked: "What about "Alien"?"
"That should be "The Monkey King"." Wu Jing said after thinking for a while, and looked at director Guo Fan, who also nodded.
"Why?"
"I have watched "Captain of China" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth." Although director Lin Juan is young, his directing ability is admirable, and the screenwriter is also full of imagination. This time, he dared to change "The Monkey King" to science fiction.
I don’t believe he has no confidence, I plan to watch this movie in the cinema." Wu Jing said with a smile.
"And he invited all the stars to come out. Needless to say, the appeal of the stars is huge." Guo Fan added with a smile.
The reporters smiled and nodded, then changed the topic.
…
Star Ye was also asked about "The Monkey King" when he was promoting it in the Mainland.
"Master Xing, do you regret starring in "The Monkey King" now? Now you have to fight against yourself."
"I don't regret it. What's there to regret? The script really moved me, and I was paid for it." Star said with a smile.
"How about your evaluation of "The Monkey King"? What impressed you about the script?"
"That script is very innovative, but when it comes to innovation, everything in my "New King of Comedy" is very new..."
…
There is a lot of hustle and bustle. The media really has nothing to write about during this period. There are new memes every day. Various film companies are also frantically inviting the media to write articles. When promoting, they also use various means in turn, including banners and live broadcasts.
People who travel around the country and make memes online.
Compared with them, Lin Juan is not idle either. His task is to give lectures in various universities across the country. If there are directing majors, he will go there to talk about his experience and understanding of movies. If there are no directing majors, he will take Zhang Shan with him.
They talked about new movies, and Zhang Shan and the others also started doing variety shows to promote them during this period, focusing on "The Monkey King".
"So I think that in the art of film, technique is only the foundation of everything. The most important thing is the innovation of thinking, such as the famous 'Bullet Time', which also includes innovation in plot. If you make movies in the future, don't blindly cater to the market.
The market is big enough and tolerant. Just be yourself and shoot in your own style, and you will have a group of fans."
"Thank you everyone."
The audience burst into applause, and a group of students about Lin Juan's age either looked at Lin Juan with excitement or admiration, or looked at Lin Juan expectantly.
But no matter what their mood was, after he finished explaining his ideas as sincerely and meticulously as always, he began to do some publicity under the arrangement of the school. After the introduction, Lin Juan was surrounded by reporters as soon as he left the scene.
"Director Lin, do you know what Huang Bo and others think of you?"
"Director Lin, what do you think of other movies in the New Year period?"
"Director Lin, what are your expectations for "The Monkey King"?"
"..."
"Brother Bo and the others are all very good actors. Thank you for their recognition of me. If there is an opportunity, I hope to cooperate with them in the future."
"The other movies are also excellent, but their themes are different. I believe there will be fans who will like them."
"In terms of expectations, I don't have any expectations. The fans will naturally give this movie the box office it deserves. Instead, I expect the fans to give this movie a review, but I will accept the result no matter what." Lin Juan said with a smile.
.
What's the use of expectations? He tries his best to do what he should do, and the rest will be left to time.
…
"Aunt Lan, how much has our pre-sale box office reached?"
In mid-January, Lin Juan asked with a smile during Chen Guang's annual meeting. He had been busy preparing for "Iron Man" while promoting recently, and he really didn't have the energy to pay attention to that.
"Now it's over 30 million. It's expected that the box office will reach 200 million on the first day." Li Lan said with a smile.
"Where are we ranked?"
"The second and third ones are "Escape from the Solar System"."
Lin Juan nodded. It is no longer the first year of science fiction. People have gradually become more picky about science fiction films. Unlike in the beginning, many box office tickets were encouraged by movie fans.
Time passed in a hurry. After the annual meeting, Lin Juan returned to his hometown. He put everything aside and prepared to spend the New Year with his family. Some time ago, his grandma called and told him that the old man next door passed away.
She left suddenly, feeling very depressed and a little scared.
This also made Lin Juan really realize it.
The old man's time is running out.
On the day before the new year, the pre-sale box office of "Monkey King" reached 65 million, second only to "Alien"'s 70 million. That night, these movies finally hit the theaters with great anticipation.
, unveiled their mysterious veil to the audience.
"Monkey King" is of course the same.
This movie was released directly without its premiere.
