The importance of publicity to movies is self-evident.
No matter what movie it is, the aroma of wine is also afraid of the alley.
Although the effect of publicity does feel a bit unlimited, after all, not long ago, Beth Carmi was Mrs. Carmi, and the Carmi couple were a model celebrity couple in Hollywood.
But not long ago, they found a new love, and they openly said that it was because of the plot of the movie that they were immersed in it.
Of course, this was not propaganda led by Li Yi anyway, so he was not surprised.
No matter how good the promotion is, it still depends on the quality of the movie itself. Your praise is just to let the audience know that there is such a movie, or to go further, to make them curious about the movie, that's all.
The quality of the movie is the key to determining whether the movie can live up to its reputation.
Regardless of the current Hollywood giants, Hollywood editors, and people on the Internet, they all treat Li Yijing like a god.
But once a movie doesn't get good results, it will hurt no matter how high it is praised.
Of course, Li Yi is quite confident in this movie.
After all, in my memory, this is a love classic of a past era.
Don't look at the plot as cliche, but if you can't stand it, the audience will just fall for it!
Time flies, and the schedule of "The Love of Ghosts" has long been decided. It will be released on Valentine's Day. Although this schedule is difficult to compare with the Christmas schedule, it is also a very high-profile schedule in the year. After all,
Valentine's Day is the natural home of love movies.
Los Angeles Chinese Theater, where "The Love of Ghosts" will premiere.
When Li Yihe's previous "The Sixth Sense" was released, it was no longer the same.
When "The Sixth Sense" was released, although Li Yi was not a nobody in Hollywood, he was not a big director who had been in Hollywood all year round. In addition, "The Sixth Sense" was not a big production, it was a supernatural film, so,
Naturally, it doesn't get that much attention.
But this time, it's completely different. After all, "The Sixth Sense" created a box office miracle.
So tonight's Grand Theater is full of stars, and there is also a long red carpet outside the Grand Theater. Although it is definitely not comparable to those film festival award ceremonies or Oscar red carpets, "The Last Love" is
After the film was completed, several investors were extremely optimistic about the film.
So, naturally, I spared no effort to build momentum for this movie.
For this reason, many big stars in Hollywood came to support him. Of course, Li Yi also had many domestic stars come.
"You kid, are you really too happy to miss Shu? Are you planning to go deep into Hollywood?" Chen Wen couldn't help but ask.
In fact, many people are curious about this question.
In fact, domestic directors hope that Li Yi will stay in Hollywood and not go back. After all, no one wants to have a big devil pressing on their head all the time.
Who hasn’t been feared by the devil?
And despite the fact that China's domestic film market is unprecedentedly prosperous and even has a tendency to catch up with Hollywood, Hollywood's position has remained stable for many years.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, if people go up high, Li Yi is already at the top in China, and it is difficult for him to make any breakthroughs, so it is completely understandable in Hollywood.
But Li Yi really didn't think so.
"Going deep into Hollywood? I really don't have such plans." Li Yi shook his head.
"Isn't Hollywood bad? If your movie continues to be successful, then you will have a firm foothold here." Chen Wen asked with some curiosity and confusion.
"But this is never our own territory! To put it harshly, no matter how successful I am here, I am still just working for these film and television giants." Li Yi saw it clearly.
Is the box office of the movie "The Sixth Sense" high enough? He did get a lot more than others, but in fact, the benefits received by Dean Films were several times that of him.
Of course, another point is that Li Yi's status in China will never be reached in Hollywood.
Discrimination has always existed.
But one thing I have to admit is that it is indeed much easier for Hollywood movies to go global than for domestic Chinese-language movies.
Soon, Li Yi and Chen Wen stopped talking.
The audience in the theater also stopped in the church because the movie was about to start.
The lights dimmed and the big screen came on.
"Director Li Yi's work" appears at the beginning of the film.
For many Chinese people, it is quite novel to see Chinese square characters like "Director Li Yi's work" appear in the title of the film.
The first picture appeared on the big screen, with messy scenes, strange images, irregular lighting, and ghostly music. It can be said that the film was filled with a weird atmosphere from the beginning.
This is actually similar to the previous "The Sixth Sense".
This picture is very obvious. This is an abandoned house, and the things inside are covered with dust. This is actually a common scene in many Hollywood thrillers.
This made some lovers movie fans quite uncomfortable. After all, they came to the premiere to see love.
As the lens moves elegantly, it quickly freezes.
"Bang, bang, bang" the wooden board was smashed, revealing the light.
Both the male and female protagonists and the second male lead appear in the camera.
As two men and one woman smashed down the wall together, the old house revealed its true appearance in Lushan. Just as the heroine said, it was very beautiful. Although it was very shabby, it still had a unique sense of beauty.
Sam found a coin from the last century in a bottle, which was a good sign, and the hero and heroine kissed each other as if no one was watching.
The following plot explains the careers of Sam and his friend and colleague Carl in a very bland manner. They both work in a bank.
And the relationship is obviously very good.
The old house has been given a new look after some renovations.
The heroine Mei Li is a sculptor.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two occasionally have disagreements, but they can accommodate each other.
At night, Sam was reading, but he seemed a little worried. His fiancée Mei Li noticed it and asked him, "Are you worried about living together?"
Sam shook his head seriously: "No, it's very complicated. I'm just a little scared."
"Afraid?"
"Yes, I'm afraid that my dreams will come to nothing."
Sam added: "It's like every time I encounter something good, I'm afraid I'll lose it."
Meili looked at him emotionally: "I love you, I really love you!"
"Me too!" Sam also looked at her affectionately.
The two got closer and closer, and when they were about to kiss, there was a sound on the TV, and there was another plane crash.
Although this seems to have nothing to do with the two of them, it made many viewers feel something. Could it be that the words of the male protagonist Sam will come true?
"Another plane crash, one disaster after another, I should cancel the trip!" Sam said.
Meili consoled her: "You are too serious, you have always been a lucky star!"
As she spoke, she leaned into Sam's arms, but Sam looked at the TV and said, "They used to be too!"
The camera showed the TV showing the corpses of the victims being transported. Sam sighed: "It's so scary. Everything goes dark. Everything is over!"
Late at night, Mei Li couldn't sleep, so she came to the workshop and started making pottery.
As soon as the camera turns, the nostalgic vinyl record player automatically changes the records.
The music of "Unbridled Melody" sounded.
Sam came out and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"I can't sleep!" Mei Li said, continuing her work.
Sam came over and sat down behind her, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "I must have fallen asleep."
Meili turned around and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Two o'clock in the morning," Sam said.
The two kissed, and Meili continued to work on the pottery. Sam supported his chin with his hand and just watched.
Suddenly he reached out and scratched her waist, and his girlfriend twisted in itch.
Sam put his hand on the Tao embryo again, but as he was causing trouble, Mei Li's hand shook, and the Tao embryo immediately shrank down.
"I hope this is not your masterpiece!" Sam laughed.
Meili was not angry either. She picked up the damaged pottery embryo and said with a smile, "Not anymore!"
"Can I help you?" Sam asked.
"Can!"
Mei Li started making it again and taught Sam step by step.
Ask him to put his hands on the clay: "Let the clay flow through your fingertips!"
But Sam obviously didn't really want to help at all. His hand slipped over Mei Li's hand, and then their fingers intertwined.
He also deliberately caused trouble by kissing his girlfriend behind the ear.
How could Meili continue with this?
The audience in the theater couldn't help but smile.
Sure enough, the next step was when the love reached its peak, the two began to kiss romantically, and then
This section actually didn't reveal much, but it made many people blush.
There is no way, sometimes, being secretive makes people feel better.
The sweetness can almost overflow the big screen.
After the sweetness is over, life must go on.
Sam controlled several accounts with strong funds and was very busy. Carl met and offered his help.
But he was rejected by Sam.
Karl didn't insist and asked before walking out of the office: "Do you and Meili have any show tonight?"
"We're going to see a Shakespeare play. Do you want to go?" Sam smiled.
"No, but you have to report to me later." Karl said jokingly.
This scene made some people frown a little, feeling that something was wrong with this Karl, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
In the evening, Sam accompanied Mei Li to watch Shakespeare's opera!
"Their performance tonight was great!" Sam said with a smile.
Meili held his arm and said angrily: "Yes, but you have been snoring tonight!"
It was getting cold, so Sam thoughtfully put his coat on his girlfriend.
The two of them walked and chatted.
Through the conversation between the two, the audience also understood that although Sam and Meili are lovers, their careers make their hobbies very different.
However, this does not affect the relationship between the two.
Suddenly Meili said: "Sam, I want to marry you!"
"What?" This sudden statement made Sam a little stunned.
"Yes, I have been thinking, a lot, that we should get married!"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes!"
As a result, Sam sighed.
Meili said angrily: "Why are you like this?"
"You never wanted to mention it!" Sam said, looking at her.
As the two continued walking down the street, Mei Li asked, "Do you love me?"
"What do you think?" Sam looked at him and asked.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Meili looked a little disappointed.
"I always say it!" Sam laughed.
"No, just say, me too, this is different!" Mei Li said.
Many viewers couldn't help but feel a little silent when they saw this scene, especially some couples.
Sam quickly explained why for those people: "It doesn't mean anything to talk about love all the time."
"Sometimes people need to listen! I need to listen to you." Mei Li turned to look at him.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind them.
Sam quickly hugged Mei Li and left.
But the man followed him, and he didn't look like a good person.
"What should I do?" Mei Li was a little scared.
"I'll take care of it!" Sam said.
"What do you want?" Sam asked the person behind him.
But it turned out that the other party was holding him at gunpoint.
"Hand over your wallet!" the homeless man pointed the gun at him and said.
"Give it to him!" Mei Li said fearfully.
Sam also knew that he couldn't resist at this time, so he said: "Okay, just take the money!"
But the homeless man reached out and pushed Sam. Just as Mei Li was about to speak anxiously, she was slapped to the ground by the other man.
This angered Sam, and he immediately started fighting with the homeless man.
Sam shouted anxiously from the side: "No! Help, help!"
But at this time, no one here heard her scream.
"Sam, forget it! Stop it!"
Suddenly a gunshot rang out.
The homeless man ran away.
Sam subconsciously chased after him.
But when he turned back, he saw an incredible scene.
He actually saw himself covered in blood lying in Meili's arms. Meili screamed sternly: "Sam, no, don't do this, Sam!"
Sam was stunned, he couldn't imagine the scene in front of him.
He looked at his body tremblingly and knew that he was dead.
Despair, helplessness, sadness, and reluctance filled his heart.
This sudden death also shocked the audience in the theater.
How sweet it was before, how sad it is now.
Suddenly they all remembered what Sam said before, and everything seemed to foreshadow something.
Because it is so beautiful, I am afraid of losing it!
He couldn't believe it. He reached out to touch his body, but his hand went through it.
Meili's whole body collapsed, she kept shouting and sobbing.
Finally someone heard her shouting, and two people ran over, but they turned a blind eye to Sam.
Or they couldn't see Sam at all.
Suddenly the camera turned and Sam woke up from his sleep, but when he turned around, he saw that Mei Li had turned into a doll.
He screamed in fright.
When the camera turned, it was the statue from before that was not hugged by Sam, but fell down the stairs and was smashed into pieces.
The camera turned again, this time, as if he was really just having a nightmare, because Meili was beside him, but under a white light.
He returned to the street where the incident occurred.
Sam and the two people who came over were giving him first aid.
White light fell from the sky and fell on Sam's body, like a guiding light from heaven.
A voice sounded: "It's time to go!"
But Meili's voice came from behind again: "Sam, don't leave me, hold on!"
He turned around and ran towards his fiancée, and the white light instantly retracted.
It was as if it had never appeared.
In fact, the audience was still a little confused when watching this segment. Why were there those two scenes before that were like waking up from a dream?
