But to be honest, Li Yi doesn't have much confidence in this movie.
Unlike other movies, which are all ready-made, the original version of "Chi Ling" in my memory is just a song, and it has not been made into a movie at all.
Therefore, he is not completely sure whether this movie can meet expectations or whether it will be successful.
After all, in terms of story, even this version of "Chi Ling" shot by Mu Qing seems a bit thin.
Moreover, Li Yi didn't have a good idea about the promotion of this film, so he could only follow the plan step by step.
Fortunately, there is also a good thing, that is, after "The World" was released, many people focused on this movie.
Although this movie was not directed by Li Yi, it can be said to be related to Li Yi. In fact, many people still hope that this movie will be a big hit.
Because this can give investors the confidence to invest in movies with the main theme.
Many investors are also paying attention to this movie. If "The Birth of the Sky" is not a reference, then "Chi Ling" still has a certain reference value.
Because of Li Yi's own fame and appeal, even if the quality of the movie is a little poor, it is actually a big hit.
It can be said that before Li Yi failed several movies in a row, his name was a guarantee of success.
At the same time, unlike movies like "The Birth of the Sky", it is obvious that the government is fully supporting it. This may not be the case for movies like "Chi Ling". Although they are all main themes, there is a big difference between the main melody and the main melody.
difference.
"Heng Kong Birth" is adapted from real historical facts, while "Chi Ling" happened in a relatively distant period. In addition, it tells the story of an actor serving his country, so the two are completely different.
At the same time, in terms of cast, the two movies are also very different.
The promotion of "Chi Ling" was on track, but after the song of the same name was released, it was still somewhat beyond Li Yi's expectations.
Perhaps because there are relatively few music songs that incorporate opera singing in this world, and coupled with its own vigorous promotion, this song has become the focus in a short period of time.
It’s a song with a story, and it’s such a special song. It’s not surprising that it’s so popular.
Of course, such songs cannot be as popular as those pop music.
It’s just because there are huge amounts of traffic and resources promoting this song.
For movies, this is actually enough. After all, the value that a song can create is difficult to compare with that of a movie.
The promotion cycle of "Chi Ling" is very short. In fact, the main reason is that if the promotion continues, it will be difficult for the cast of such a movie to achieve better results. It is better to strike while the iron is hot.
The premiere of "Chi Ling" was held at the Beijing Academy of Drama.
Because of this matter, Li Yi was complained by his mentor Li Mingshan for a while. Although Li Mingshan also knew why, he was still unhappy.
Before the premiere, many film critics, media people, and filmmakers came.
Although it is not Li Yi's movie, everyone knows that Mu Qing's identity, although not as good as Li Yi's, is also a famous director, and she is also a female director, so there are many people who come to support it.
Of course, because of Li Yi's relationship, this premiere was truly a gathering of stars.
However, it seems natural that he and Mu Qing are one and the same as husband and wife.
In fact, the premiere of "Chi Ling" is held at the Beijing Academy of Drama, which is what the title implies. After all, compared to the Beijing Film Academy, the Beijing Academy of Drama is the one that really specializes in drama.
Not to mention that most of the leading actors in "Chi Ling" this time are from the Beijing Academy of Drama.
There are also many celebrities in the field of folk art present today.
There are no opera-related movies like "Chi Ling", but there are indeed very few that have attracted such attention.
For those in the opera industry, this movie also has a very special meaning.
Even today, national self-confidence has risen, and traditional culture is also recovering. Unfortunately, this speed is very slow.
More importantly, there are too many things for people's entertainment nowadays, and opera is particularly short of talents. The cultivation of talents is also more difficult to mass-produce than other talents. Therefore, opera has become more and more popular.
decline.
Opera has also changed from what it used to be for lower-level people to what it is today.
Ordinary people may not even be able to watch a complete play in their lifetime!
Soon, the film officially started screening.
At the beginning of the film, a sound montage was used, and a short piece of bland and very light Kunqu opera appeared, as if it were just a few beating musical scales.
Immediately, the picture began to appear, and slowly as the sound became clearer, the picture began to become gradually clearer.
A theater stage is revealed in its entirety.
A man wearing a bright red opera robe was rehearsing silently there.
Suddenly!
"Crack!"
A burst of firecrackers sounded, Qiang! Qiang! Qi Qiang Qi!
"The show is about to begin!"
Someone shouted in a long voice.
The camera came to the theater. The stage was crowded with people, including those listening to the opera, those making tea, and those selling cigarettes, forming a chaotic scene in the theater.
On the small stage, I saw an actor with his sleeves rising and falling, his Kun accent was mellow, and his eyes were merciful. Even the women in the audience felt ashamed when they saw him.
After singing the song, the audience roared with applause.
The so-called layman is watching the fun, while the expert is watching the door.
For ordinary audiences or some film critics who don't know much about opera, they don't care about how the opera is sung.
But for people in the theater circle, what they focus on is the people on the stage on the big screen.
Many people couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Although there have been opera-related movies before, many of them were unsatisfactory. Unlike this movie, the actors in it are indeed very high-level.
Of course, this is a movie after all, and it is impossible for the actors to be really that powerful and to be able to sing at a top level.
However, even this is already surprising.
After all, it was real singing, not action or dubbing.
"This Kunqu opera is good!" Many people in the opera circle couldn't help but nod and praise.
Of course, in the opening scene of this scene, it is also obvious from the cheers that the person on the stage is the protagonist in the movie.
At the end of the song, everyone dispersed and the famous actors walked away. The audience was still interested and shouted in unison: "One more song!" The theater leader hurriedly came to the stage to smooth things over: "Dear fellow villagers, our actors are indeed a little tired today.
, if you guys really want to hear it, you can only wait until tomorrow."
At this time, someone in the audience booed: "It's okay to let us come tomorrow, unless your corner sings "Peach Blossom Fan" tomorrow, don't you guys!" After that, the person turned his head to the audience.
, the audience also echoed. The class leader could only deal with it one after another!
