Chapter Thirty-One: This is not what it used to be
"Don't you think the routine is very old?" Li Yi asked.
Xu Nannan looked at Li Yi and asked, "Is Brother Yi testing me?"
"Just take it as such!" Li Yi couldn't help but smile.
"I don't think so. Since the birth of the movie, the routines have been developed for a long time. I think the main thing is to see whether the selling point of the movie is clear. Whether the selling point of the movie has a wide audience, love, maternal love, fatherly love, these can be said to start from
It will never go out of style from ancient times to the present!" Xu Nannan said seriously.
"What about sensationalism? Do you think it's too sensational?" Li Yi asked again.
"How could it be? Although there is a saying that too much is too little, but as long as anything is done to the extreme, it doesn't matter too much. This script does contain a lot of sensational plots, but the sensationalism is so extreme that you can't help but be incited when you read the script.
Emotions, let alone making a movie." Xu Nannan said with a look of amazement.
Well, Li Yi suspected that this girl was deliberately trying to please him, but there was no evidence.
Forget it, this movie in his previous life could make him cry when he watched it as a child. When he grew up, he thought he wouldn’t cry, but after watching it, he still cried!
Li Yi actually doesn't have a deep understanding of movies, but from the perspective of an ordinary viewer, he feels that if a movie can move people to tears, then the movie will not be a failure.

......
There is another person who has benefited the most from the success of "The Gift of Room No. 7", and that is Mu Nanxing.
Oceanwide Film and Television itself is a small distribution company, its main business is the production and distribution of domestic horror films.
But as a result, because of the need for publicity, I was brought along every time I promoted it.
It can be regarded as a little famous in the circle.
But the most important thing is that Mu Nanxing's big gamble succeeded.
For Mu Nanxing, his plan was a successful first step.
But if we want to develop Oceanwide Film and Television, one success is obviously not enough.
Although some low-budget films have begun to contact Oceanwide Film and Television, only those films that cannot reach theaters at all will come to Oceanwide Film and Television.
Of course, this is already a good start.
After Mu Nanxing tasted the benefits, she naturally hoped to continue to cooperate with Li Yi.
However, things are different now. If you want to continue to cooperate with Li Yi and take over the distribution of Li Yi's movies, it is not as easy as before.
Mu Nanxing took the initiative to come to the door, which was expected for Li Yi.
Although "The Gift of Room No. 7" was finally successfully released, in fact, it was a helpless move. As for who achieved who, it's really hard to say.
It is definitely impossible for future movies to follow the same distribution path as "The Gift of Room No. 7".
After all, taking the wrong approach is not a routine operation. It works once, but it may not work the second time.
For Mu Nanxing, there are so many distribution companies, and the success of Oceanwide Films this time does not mean that the business door of Oceanwide Films has been opened.
On the contrary, Li Yi has "The Gift of Room No. 7" in front of him, so he really doesn't have to worry about the release of his new movie.
That's why Mu Nanxing came to visit her right away not long after "The Gift from Room No. 7" was released.
"Director Li, this is... the script of the new movie?" As soon as he entered the door, Mu Nanxing saw the script that Li Yi had placed casually on the coffee table, and asked with a flash of surprise in his eyes. p>
"Well, I'll write it down first when I get some inspiration." Li Yi smiled and poured Mu Nanxing a cup of tea while answering casually.
"Is it convenient to take a look?" Mu Nanxing asked happily when she saw Lie Xin.
"Let's watch!" Li Yi pushed the script on the coffee table in front of Mu Nanxing.
Mu Nanxing carefully picked up the script and read it.
The first thing that catches the eye is the title: "Mom, love me again"!
Mu Nanxing's heart became more and more anticipated.
He was actually quite worried that Li Yi would start to expand after the success of one movie.
This can be said to be a very normal thing in the film and television industry.
Because many new directors, when they suddenly become popular, often turn their backs on small-budget movies and start working on big productions.
When she saw the movie title, Mu Nanxing felt relieved, because she could tell at the first glance that it was a drama.
And it should be the type that Li Yi is better at.
However, Mu Nanxing frowned immediately, because the plot was a bit...how should I put it? Old-fashioned?
But he still read on patiently.
Li Yi wrote the script directly based on the content of the movie, so all the lines and some details were written in the script.
The picture is full of sense.
Soon, Mu Nanxing changed her previous idea. The plot is old-fashioned? So what.
As expected of Li Yi, he did not become inflated because of the success of one movie, but instead dug deep into the sensational drama that he is good at.
If the sensational index of "The Gift from Room 7" is 1, then the sensational index of "Mom Love Me Again" is at least 3!
And when she saw the end, Mu Nanxing couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Because, it’s so sensational.
Putting down the script, Mu Nanxing looked at Li Yi with extremely hot eyes.
"Director Li, how about leaving this project to Oceanwide for publicity?" Mu Nanxing looked at Li Yi and said directly.
Li Yi shook his head, and Mu Nanxing's heart suddenly sank.
"It's too early to say this, Mr. Mu. Although our cooperation on "The Gift of Room No. 7" was very pleasant, you should know that this new project cannot continue to follow the same path as the previous "Gift of Room No. 7"
Published in an eccentric way."
"Of course I know this. Director Li, please give Oceanwide Films another chance. If it's a matter of sharing, we can discuss it again..." Mu Nanxing said quickly.
Li Yi waved his hand to stop Mu Nanxing.
"Let's not mention the distribution share for now. Of course, Mr. Mu, I hope to continue our cooperation, but I need to consider the movie. Therefore, Mr. Mu's simple adjustment of the distribution share cannot convince me." Li Yi's meaning is obvious, cooperation,
Yes, but Mu Nanxing must let him see the strength of Oceanwide Films.
Mu Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Li Yi's words.
He is not afraid of Li Yi's conditions, but he is afraid that Li Yi will refuse them directly.
"Director Li, you can rest assured on this. After "The Gift of Room No. 7", I will invest all the profits in the channel expansion of Oceanwide Film and Television. I will also increase investment in publicity resources.
At present, Oceanwide Film and Television does not lack funds, nor does it lack channels. Perhaps compared with those top distribution companies, we are still behind, but what we lack is time, what we lack is projects, and the most critical point is
."
"With all due respect, although "The Gift of Room 7" has a box office of more than 300 million, there may be no shortage of distribution companies willing to take over Director Li's new movie, but they will definitely not invest all their resources in Director Li's movie.
is in the process of publicity and distribution, but we are different from Oceanwide Films. I can guarantee that as long as the new movie is handed over to us for distribution, all our resources will be invested in Director Li's new film."
