Chapter 1,788 Is the spring of online movies coming?
Li Yi wanted to make a major online movie, so he naturally contacted relevant platforms and the organizing committee of the Chinese Online Movie Festival.
Therefore, the publicity has already started.
As for this matter, it quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet because Li Yi, a great director, went to make a major online movie and lowered his status.
"No? Real or fake?"
"What's your rank as a dog director? Are you going to be a movie star?"
"Isn't it a gimmick?"
"It shouldn't be the case. Several major video platforms have promoted it at the same time, and the movie's name has been "Sniper Phone Booth", so it should be real!"
"The big dogs on the Internet don't even look at it. What's going on with the dog director?"
"Anyway, it's a movie directed by Li Yi. Regardless of whether it's an online movie or a theatrical movie, it's worth looking forward to. Director Gou has never disappointed!"
"By the way, the name of this movie is a bit special, sniper phone booth? Action gunfight movie?"
"Are you crazy? An action and gunfight movie is going to be released in online theaters?"
In fact, many people in the mainstream film circle can't understand this matter, because Internet majors are really at the bottom of the contempt chain. It can even be said that directors who make major Internet movies are not recognized by the mainstream film director circle.
.
It is not an exaggeration to say that online movies and theater movies are really two parallel lines.
Because the overlap between audience groups is really very low, followed by actors, directors, and screenwriters, they are also two groups of people.
Even the new reserve actors in the academy rarely choose to act in big networks.
It can be said that there is a clear distinction between Jing and Wei.
Soon, the poster of "Sniper Phone Booth" appeared on the homepage recommendations of major film and television platforms, and even on pop-up recommendation ads.
It can be said that it is enough to make those big Internet movie directors want to replace it after seeing it.
In recent years, the promotion of major online movies is really lackluster. Not to mention the four major platforms, it is a single platform. The publicity resources provided are at most an advertisement on the classified page. Unlike Li Yi's movies, it is directly available on the four major platforms.
It’s a pop-up ad, and it’s recommended by the homepage banner.
The movie hasn't even finished filming yet, and the trailer hasn't even been released yet.
All everyone can see is a poster - in a small phone booth, a man answers the phone in a panic.
The first Chinese director's new film "Sniper Phone Booth"! There is also a new film reservation button below, with a countdown of seven days.
This is of course not the first time that the four major film and television platforms have cooperated, but they have never spared no effort like this.
The popularity of Li Yi's new film has not made their publicity resources in vain. In fact, if it were a theatrical movie, it would not be possible to obtain such amazing resources without spending tens of millions.
.
"Sniper Phone Booth" has actually been completed and is currently in post-production.
After the "Sniper Phone Booth" advertisement went online, the number of reservations exceeded 10 million in just two days!
In fact, there are usually several box office statistics for major online movies. The most common one is paid on-demand, which is generally 10 yuan for non-members and half price for members.
But for Li Yi's movie "Sniper Phone Booth", several major platforms are engaged in such a big battle. In addition, this is Li Yi's movie, so the ticket price is higher, directly 20 yuan for non-members and 10 yuan for members.
, doubled.
There are still a lot of viewers watching online movies. The box office of the highest online movie can exceed 50 million. If one effective click is 5 yuan, the number of movie viewers exceeds 10 million.
So, from this aspect, it seems that there are really many audiences for online movies.
This is not a click generated by swiping. A valid click costs 5 yuan. If it were easy to swipe, the website would have been poached long ago.
With 3 days left in the countdown, the trailer of "Sniper Phone Booth" is officially released.
At this time, the number of reservations has exceeded 20 million.
Li Yi is actually a little curious about the online box office of "Sniper Phone Booth".
Mainly out of curiosity, what is the potential of online movie theaters? After all, he has never played one!
Of course, his "Sniper Phone Booth" is actually not easy to use as a reference, because the publicity and distribution resources are so powerful that even for his own theatrical movies, sometimes it is difficult to obtain such top-notch resources. After all, his own
For theater movies, most of the time, it costs money to obtain such resources.
And this time it’s really free of charge!
Naturally, it is impossible for other online movies to receive such resources and such treatment, so it is indeed not of reference.
But you can really see how big the potential is.
Zhou Ming is a big fan of Li Yi. It can be said that he has almost never missed one of Li Yi's movies.
To be honest, he couldn't quite understand Li Yi's decision to film a major online movie this time. After all, this was really a sign of lowering his status!
What is a big online movie?
Because Li Yi's "Sniper Phone Booth" was about to be released these days, he made a special trip to watch it.
As a result, his eyes were almost blinded. What the hell is this?
For a senior movie fan like him who is used to watching theater movies, these movies are really unpalatable!
In particular, he tried to watch a few relatively popular Internet movies, but then he was completely disappointed with the Internet movies, and it was even more difficult for him to understand why Li Yi wanted to make a major Internet movie.
I am puzzled!
It can only be attributed to the fact that Li Yi was forced, otherwise with Li Yi's status, why bother?
It's not necessary at all!
However, finally, the trailer of "Sniper Phone Booth" is online!
He quickly clicked on the link.
The picture shows a man answering the phone in a phone booth.
He immediately recognized this man as Lin Junrong, the popular Hong Kong actor.
There was a deep male voice on the phone, "Hello, this is really interesting."
"When you hear the phone ringing, it might be someone else's phone, but you still can't help but pick it up, right?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the trailer, the footage is of course not complete, but a short clip taken from each lens and edited into a fast-paced short film.
"Who are you anyway?"
"Don't think about hanging up the phone. I originally wanted to give you a takeaway so that you can have the energy to deal with what's going to happen next."
"I'm going to hang up the phone next, this joke is not funny at all!"
"No, you won't!"
"Who are you?"
"If you want to know, you can look around. There are hundreds of windows around."
"You're scratching your head now."
The pace of the trailer is very fast, and through the fast-cut dialogue, you can actually get a rough idea of what the plot is going to be about.
"Call your wife and tell her about you and Lili."
"As long as you say a word, he won't bother you anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound, and the chicken-headed gangster who wanted to snatch the protagonist's phone was shot to death and his body was found on the spot.
After a close-up of Lin Junrong's frightened expression, the scene turned to reveal that the male protagonist he played was surrounded by the police.
"I am Chief Inspector Huang Qifa of the Crime Unit..."
Seeing this familiar speech, Zhou Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This was also deliberately arranged by Li Yi. It is just a joke. I believe that viewers who have watched Li Yi's "Dark War" will be very familiar with it.
In the picture, Lin Junrong was on the verge of collapse at this moment. He sprayed several rude greetings into the phone. Then the picture switched, and he suddenly took out a pistol from the top of the phone booth and rushed out of the phone booth crazily.
, holding the pistol high, shouting crazily: "Come on, step on the horse and shoot! Come on! You son of a bitch, shoot!"
The expression on his face became extremely ferocious.
But before he could finish speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
The scene of him holding the pistol high suddenly froze, and then he lay straight on the ground.
The trailer ends here, and the title ""Sniper Phone Booth"" appears in the screen!
Works directed by Li Yi!
The last thing that appeared was this Li Yi signboard, which made Zhou Ming couldn't help but smile.
"As expected of Li Yi, worthy of being a dog director, you are a real dog!"
Although it was only a trailer, and although it was short, it was enough for him to understand what the story of the movie was about to be.
He had also speculated before about what kind of movie Li Yi would make this time.
When he saw "Sniper Phone Booth", he, like many others, speculated whether it would be a gunfight movie?
After watching the trailer, he discovered that it was not the case at all.
The trailer of "Sniper Phone Booth" is undoubtedly very fast-paced, but it is not a so-called gunfight action movie, but more like a suspense movie.
A man, a man having an affair, answered a strange call at a street phone booth. The person on the other end of the phone was supposed to be a killer, who killed a gangster who seemed to have a conflict with the protagonist.
Then the police came, suspecting that the protagonist had killed him. The protagonist cursed the killer a few words, then took out a pistol from the phone booth, rushed out, and was beaten to death.
However, we have no idea who the protagonist is, who the killer is, what his purpose is, and whether the protagonist was killed by the police or by a killer.
For suspense films, the trailer is undoubtedly the biggest hook.
At this moment, there are already many comments below.
"First, hahaha!"
"Sofa, fire tongs Liu Ming!"
"The obvious quality of the trailer completely surpasses other major online movies! I have to say it has to be Li Yi!"
"Yes, you can always trust the quality of the dog director, but here comes the question, why did the killer want to kill the male protagonist? I'm a bit confused!"
"Yes, who fired the last shot?"
"It should be the police, right? Chief Inspector Huang Qifai of the Crime Unit will find out, haha! Judging from the actor's excited reaction, and the fact that he still had a gun in his hand, he must have been shot dead by the police!"
"The question is, what happened to that gangster? He had a conflict with the protagonist, but why did the killer help the protagonist kill him?"
"Can't you see this? He said that if you just say a word, he won't trouble you anymore! And the bastard died, so the protagonist must have spoken, right? So, is he considered the murderer?"
"Isn't it cheating? Why did he become a murderer again? I'm a little confused!"
"No, is the killer the protagonist, or is the caller the protagonist? As we all know, dog directors are very doggy and never take the usual path!"
Zhou Ming is also becoming more and more confused by these comments. All he can say is that the imagination of netizens nowadays should not be underestimated!
Although it is only a short trailer, they can figure out a lot of things by themselves.
Some people even imagined an entire movie based on the trailer. Although the plot didn't make sense, there were a lot of comments below.
It can only be said that at this time, Li Yi's influence was really fully highlighted.
This is where the influence of the first Chinese leader lies.
At this time, many people have discovered that no one cares about whether the network is big or not, because it really doesn't matter.
Judging from the trailer, many attentive viewers can actually feel it. Experts will know if it is there as soon as they take action!
It can be said that Li Yi's trailer, even the trailer, is much better than other major online trailers.
And with the release of the trailer, "Sniper Phone Booth" has become unprecedentedly popular thanks to the joint efforts of several major platforms.
The movie released at the same time was filled with complaints, and many people couldn't help but secretly scolded Li Yi for not being a human being.
How about a big online movie with such a big battle?
Some media have also begun to speak out, but what is interesting is that they are not discussing the quality of the movie, but focusing on why online movies that were not popular in the past and were excluded from the mainstream film industry suddenly became popular overnight.
Suddenly it became a hot cake?
Yes, do you really think that several major platforms are for charity?
Their promotional resources are not free. In fact, it seems that the movie that benefited the most is "Sniper Phone Booth", and the number of reservations has exceeded 50 million.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But in fact, they are really not at a loss at all. Not to mention the future box office of "Sniper Phone Booth", let's talk about the major online movie categories on their various platforms. This paragraph
Over time, many new users have poured in, and big data shows that these "new users" have entered the Internet movie very few times in the past, and many of them have barely watched any Internet movie before.
However, because Li Yi's "Sniper Phone Booth" became popular before it was aired, it also drove traffic to the major online movie section, causing the click-through rate and playback volume of many major online movies to significantly increase.
Although there is endless criticism, after all, the quality of those big online movies is really uneven. Not to say that they are all bad movies, but at least 80% of them are not good.
But they are not afraid of scolding at all, what they are afraid of is that no one will.
Li Yi never thought that such a result would occur.
In fact, with the discussion topics and data surge of various major online movies on the Internet, it has also stimulated the mainstream film circle.
Some people even panicked.
Even Zhao Guangming couldn't help but call and ask Li Yi.
It’s not that we’re worried about physical theater chains being replaced, but that we’re worried about being affected.
In fact, it did have an impact.
Although it is true that most of the big online movies are bad, the audience that cannot stand these physical theaters rarely paid attention to online movies in the past.
Of course, it has a lot to do with the fact that the recently released movies have not been particularly successful.
In fact, even Li Yi was a little surprised. Although he said that this time he was just a special case, but if "Sniper Phone Booth" achieves high box office, will there be any subsequent consequences? No one can say for sure.
