Chapter 410 Why do you have confidence in domestic science fiction?
Wen Qing was obviously not particularly satisfied with what Li Yi mentioned.
"There is another plan, which is to use public opinion to intimidate Ellie Kaplan! Of course, this will definitely have an effect, but it's hard to say how long it will last." Li Yi was actually quite helpless.
In fact, it is very easy to get rid of Allie Kaplan.
But the biggest question is, if Ally Kaplan is killed, will Jason Kaplan be better off than he is now?
I'm afraid that may not be the case. If a famous child star doesn't have a guardian, he will definitely become a fat piece of meat, and some people will want to take a bite of it.
So, this is the most troublesome part of this matter.
Dean Pictures will definitely do this, because it will be of great help to the promotion of the movie, so even if Li Yi doesn't say anything, they are very likely to use Jason Kaplan's situation as a publicity stunt.
The promotion method is very simple. As long as you say Jason Kaplan is performing in his true colors during promotion, it will be enough for the media to make a big fuss.
It's enough to make Ellie Kaplan anxious.
But this is also just treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
If she really wants to change, Ally Kaplan must be able to discover it with her own conscience, otherwise, no one can do anything about it.
Although Wen Qing cherishes Jason Kaplan very much, she says things have changed and their relationship is only temporary.
It is impossible for Wen Qing to really adopt Jason Kaplan, and Ellie Kaplan is always Jason's biological mother.
...
The post-production of "Artificial Intelligence" is more complicated than those of Li Yi's previous movies. However, this movie also does not involve too many big scenes and special effects, so the post-production time does not take too much time.
long.
The movie has been shot and is about to be completed, so naturally the schedule has to be set in advance.
"Artificial Intelligence" is different from the previous "A Dog's Purpose".
Because "A Dog's Purpose" is Li Yi's first work in North America, the investment in publicity is limited, mainly because of the lack of publicity points.
In the end, he broke out through word of mouth.
But "Artificial Intelligence" is different. Compared with "A Dog's Purpose", "Artificial Intelligence" is a science fiction movie. It has an advantage, that is, Li Yi's own appeal is greater than the earlier "A Dog's Purpose"
many.
But there are also disadvantages. "A Dog's Purpose" is a pet movie. Naturally, this category will attract many pet lovers to actively watch the movie.
But "Artificial Intelligence" is a science fiction movie. In China, there is no need to worry. After all, no matter how many people in China are not optimistic about it, at least Li Yi was the biggest one before he failed.
Moreover, Chen Wen and others are already top-notch in China, so there is no need to worry about publicity domestically.
But here in North America, science fiction movies have long been bad.
Therefore, if you want to promote "Artificial Intelligence", you must find another way.
And Jason, the male protagonist, is indeed a hot spot for publicity.
Especially his unique experience, or outrageous experience, once it explodes, especially with Dean Films behind it, it can easily become a huge hot topic.
After all, when it comes to child stars, family, and education, no matter which country it is placed in, these are actually topics that are relatively easy to explode.
Coupled with the particularity of the movie's theme, it perfectly fits Jason's situation. Therefore, even if Li Yi didn't say anything, Dean Pictures would use this for publicity.
This is definitely not a good thing for Ally Kaplan, but for Jason, it may not be.
Therefore, Li Yi did not reject this publicity strategy.
Of course, this strategy will definitely have to wait until the publicity sprint stage before the movie is released.
And the issue of schedule.
Li Yi preferred the summer release, and this time, Dean Films did not refuse.
Unlike the previous "A Dog's Purpose", Li Yi has now proven himself, and the theme of the movie "Artificial Intelligence" is also very suitable for the summer season.
...
"Artificial Intelligence" is scheduled to be released on August 8.
After this news came out, there was nothing in North America, but in China, many people were moved by the news.
Li Yi has come a long way, from the prodigal son who was ridiculed by others to the number one person in Chinese commercial films today.
It is true that he came to the position by following many well-known directors.
Such as Zhao Zheng, such as Huang Zhenyi, such as Lin Yue, such as Luo Teng.
In fact, because Li Yi's movies are usually about "eating alone", this also makes many film and television capitals jealous.
It's just that Li Yi was too strong in the past, and even a small-budget movie could be outdone by him.
But this time, it can be said that Li Yi knew that there were tigers in the mountains and went to the tiger mountains.
Science fiction movies have always been the most disliked genre in the Chinese film and television industry.
That's not to say that no one has tried it, but without exception, they all fail, and the failure is horrific.
Roten's "The Last Battle" was even more scolded by the media and science fiction fans.
There are even media outlets that directly and openly declare that Chinese science fiction movies are dead.
If you want to talk about animation, although there are indeed no truly original animation movies that can be produced in China, at least some animations for younger children still have a large market.
But what about science fiction movies?
It really is not an exaggeration to call it a desert!
Therefore, this time, Li Yi filmed science fiction in such a short time, so naturally it was difficult for people to take good notice of it.
Most netizens on the Internet also maintain a skeptical attitude.
Actually, it's quite interesting. In Hollywood, when it comes to science fiction movies, people will classify them very clearly. There are actually many low-budget science fiction movies.
So it’s not surprising.
But what’s interesting is that in China, in public perception, it seems that science fiction movies must have big scenes to be considered science fiction.
What is even more puzzling is that domestic filmmakers shoot almost no low-budget science fiction films. Instead, most of their attempts start directly from large-scale productions.
Well, it doesn’t mean that they are all big productions, but at least one of them is in the name of a big production.
Therefore, "Artificial Intelligence" is indeed not optimistic.
Some people may say that Li Yi is very good in both theme-themed movies and reality-themed movies.
Haven't these types of movies been successful before?
Why can’t science fiction movies work?
This is really a different concept.
Let’s talk about the main theme movie first. In fact, to put it bluntly, everyone knows what the problem is. Therefore, when Li Yi made "Garland Under the Mountain", although everyone was surprised, they were more surprised by the scale of it!
Secondly, although there were not many realism-themed films that were blockbuster hits before, there were many that won awards.
But what about science fiction movies?
A hit? No!
Winner of an award? No!
Why don't people talk about the main theme movie "Desert" or the realism-themed movie "Desert", but they insist on talking about the science fiction movie "Desert"?
There is a reason for this!
So, why do you have confidence in Li Yi's science fiction movie?
