When the movie ended, Li Yi turned his head and glanced at Xu Nannan.
"What do you think?" Li Yi asked.
Xu Nannan shook his head and said: "It's not as good as yours! I can't be moved at all!"
"You are looking at it through colored glasses!" Li Yi said helplessly.
"No, it's really not as good as the short film you made. In fact, I really don't understand why the male protagonist doesn't leave his daughter to be taken care of by the second man he meets. This is the end of the world. It's good to be alive, right?
Therefore, the subsequent plot seems to be deliberately creating difficulties for myself."
"Especially the appearance of primitive tribes. In your short film, Andy prepares carrion, etc. to guide himself and his daughter to the safe area, but here she turns into a girl from a primitive tribe, which is a bit strange. Strengthen
It reduces the drama, but downplays the father’s love.”
"Tsk, tsk, I can't tell, but you are quite knowledgeable." Li Yi couldn't help but said in surprise.
"You are looking down on others, but I, I am also influenced by what I hear and see. After all, you are a great director, so I can't know nothing about movies, right?" Xu Nannan said coquettishly.
"I don't believe you think this movie is better than your short film!" Xu Nannan said.
"Short films and feature films are two completely different types and cannot be generalized!" Li Yi shook his head.
Although this movie is based on a short film, in fact, from the moment it is adapted, this movie can no longer be compared with the short film.
What the short film emphasizes is that condensation is the essence. There is no need for antecedents and no consequences. What is taken is the most essential part in the middle.
Li Yi and Xu Nannan both stood up and applauded along with other attendees at the premiere.
"Let's go and say hello!" Li Yi said to Xu Nannan with a smile.
Together the two find Alex and Rogers' side.
"Congratulations, Alex! What a great movie!"
"Rogers, your acting skills are as superb as ever!"
Li Yi gave him his compliments free of charge.
"Thank you! Your idea is great!" Alex said with a smile on his face.
Obviously, Alex was very happy with the audience's reaction at the premiere.
Li Yi and Xu Nannan said goodbye and left, but they were stopped by a middle-aged man after taking a few steps.
"Hi, Lee, I'm James Dean from Dean Films! This is my business card!" the middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile.
"Hello Mr. Dean, do you have any business with me?" Li Yi took the business card, glanced at it, put it in his pocket, and then asked with a smile.
James Dean is the CEO of Dean Pictures, but Li Yi did not expect to meet him here.
"Li, Dean Films is having a cocktail party tomorrow night and would like to invite you to attend. I wonder if you are interested?" James Dean invited with a smile.
"Oh, who are there at the reception?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"They are all partners of Dean Films!" James Dean said.
"So do you need to prepare anything for the reception?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"You just need to be there! It's just an ordinary social drinking party." James Dean said with a smile.
"I will have the invitation sent to the hotel later. I look forward to your visit!" James Dean said again.
"I'm staying at the Four Seasons Hotel, so see you tomorrow night!" Li Yi said.
Wait until James Dean leaves.
Xu Nannan said: "He seems to have come specifically for you!"
"Oh?" Li Yi looked at Xu Nannan in surprise.
"He was waiting here just now!" Xu Nannan said.
Li Yi was not surprised. After all, the other party had cooperated with him before, and what Davis Damien could think of, how could James Dean, the president of Dean Pictures, not think of it.
Apparently James Dean also thought about getting together with Davis Damien.
In fact, Hollywood has been looking for opportunities to enter China. The film quota is limited. If the film is approved, the split will be too low. Therefore, they have been trying different ways to achieve their goals.
It's just a pity that there are many co-productions, but only a handful of them are real hits.
Over time, co-productions have almost become synonymous with bad movies.
Because if you are neither Chinese nor Western, you want to please both sides, but in the end, neither side will be pleased!
The country has also been trying to go global, but the results are not ideal.
Why did Li Yi's previous movies become so popular in Peninsula?
In fact, it is also because most domestic movies that are popular at home are often acclimated abroad.
And Li Yi's movie was not only well-received and well-received in China, but it also became popular in the Peninsula, which is very rare.
The previous "A Story More Sad Than Sad" was Li Yi's first co-production. Although everyone knows that Li Yi almost became the boss of that movie, the movie still received very good reviews both at home and on the peninsula.
score.
After enjoying the success of the Peninsula film, he has been trying his best to invite Li Yi to co-produce another film.
But it's a pity that Li Yi was busy working on "Garland Under the Mountain" at that time, so he didn't have time to pay attention to it.
However, after all, the peninsula is also a country in the Greater China Cultural Zone. There are still some domestic films that have achieved good results in the peninsula. In particular, some films from Hong Kong Island are still very popular in the peninsula.
But when it comes to Hollywood and North America, there are too few.
Especially after 2010, the domestic film market began to show explosive growth, and cooperation between the two parties began to become more and more frequent, but the results were not as good as before when the domestic film market did not rise.
The reason is actually very simple. To put it bluntly, in the early years, domestic audiences actually had very low requirements. In addition, the domestic market was not big, so some directors actually filmed more to cater to the tastes of the North American market.
Now, of course, this method no longer works.
Most of today's directors cannot ignore the domestic film market, so they try to find a balance, but in the end they fail to please both sides.
When Hollywood directors make co-production movies, they often want to add more Chinese elements, but they themselves only know about Chinese culture and don't know why.
I think the Chinese elements are hard for domestic audiences to really like.
As a result, there have always been co-produced films, but there are rarely high-quality co-produced films.
Li Yi's "The Story of Hachiko" was very popular in North America even though it was not released in theaters and was directly released on DVD. At the same time, "Moving forward with a heavy load" was popular on social networks across the United States and also in China.
It's equally popular, so this explains the problem.
It shows that Li Yi can completely capture the common preferences of both audiences.
And this is exactly what they have been pursuing!
