Although "The Truman Show" has so many advertisements, in fact, this is really not a commercial movie, on the contrary, it is an artistic movie.
Of course, in fact, sometimes, the boundaries between artistic films and commercial films are not so clear.
Classics are neither literary nor commercial.
Especially for this movie, it can be said that the movie is already well-known without even being approved as a project. Which literary and artistic film director can achieve this level?
The filming of "The Truman Show" was actually not that complicated, but the lenses used in this movie were completely different from other movies.
After all, the town where Truman lives in "The Truman Show" is actually a huge reality show filming set, and everyone except Truman is an actor.
And here, there are tens of thousands of cameras, so many shots and angles of this movie will be completely different from other movies.
For this movie, Li Yi is not in a hurry to shoot.
However, preliminary work has already begun.
The role has been initially determined, the male protagonist: Zhou Xing.
The role of chief director/producer, Chen Wen!
Although this guy Chen Wen has been complaining that after all, he is a Grand Slam actor, but he ends up being either a villain or a buffoon in Li Yi's movies, but he says so, but his body is still very honest.
He decisively accepted the role.
Because, this is also a very interesting character.
At first, Li Yi wanted to choose a domestic actress to be the heroine, but in the end he gave up.
It's not time yet, after all, the movie will be released simultaneously in North America.
Moreover, in this movie, the heroine is not the real heroine. It can be said that the entire movie actually has Truman as the only male protagonist.
This is Truman's one-man show.
When Li Yi was slowly preparing for "The Truman Show".
Mu Qing also finally announced that "The Wrong Ride" has been completed!
This movie was shot almost entirely in Quan City, Fujian Province!
In fact, when you first look at this movie, you will think that this is a movie that reflects the boundless love of a father, but in fact, this is a movie that reflects the changes of the times.
Initially, the movie changed the location of the story from Treasure Island to Quan City. Many plots in it were actually very sensitive.
Fortunately, this movie finally passed the review with the official endorsement of the local government in Iquan City.
During the filming period, the film also received considerable official support from Quan City and even Fujian Province.
Mu Qing's shooting speed has never been very fast, but her photos are very delicate.
This is a literary film, but it is also a tearjerker.
In fact, in the Chinese market, many literary and artistic film directors complain that there is no market for artistic films. This is actually wrong.
At least it seems wrong to Li Yi.
Of course, Li Yi doesn't know anything about literature and art, but at least in his opinion, the main reason for those literary and art movies that are not popular is that they are too unfriendly to the audience.
Literary movies are also movies.
And movies have to tell stories. If you can tell the story well, then you won’t have to worry about not having an audience to watch it.
But many domestic literary and artistic film directors, when they make movies and tell stories, they just don't explain it clearly.
If the audience doesn't understand it and doesn't understand it, then naturally they won't buy it.
But in fact, if you really watch those truly outstanding literary films, they will at least have a story that people can understand.
Back to business.
Li Yi did not intervene in the editing of "The Wrong Ride", although he has the complete original plot in his memory.
But this movie is now Director Mu’s movie.
While Mu Qing was busy editing "The Wrong Ride", Li Yi also officially launched "The Truman Show"!
The early days of filming "The Truman Show" were very interesting.
After all, except for Truman, all the other actors have to shoot more exaggerated commercials.
It’s not unusual to shoot an advertisement, but it’s very interesting to shoot an advertisement in a movie.
However, as the time came to the end of December, Li Yi had to temporarily leave the crew.
Because "The Wrong Ride" has been completed and the promotion has been started for some time, the response from the internal screenings was very good.
"The Wrong Ride" is scheduled to be released during the Double Egg Festival. Although it is a literary-oriented film, the film schedule is not weak at all.
Premieres are no longer held in places like Beijing or Zhonghai as in the past.
This time, the premiere of "The Wrong Ride" was held in Quan City, Fujian Province.
Izumi has very high expectations for this movie.
So the standards of the premiere are not low.
But after all, Mu Qing is not Li Yi, and her appeal cannot be whispered in the same breath. Therefore, Li Yi naturally needs to support his girlfriend.
Not only Li Yi went, but Chen Wen, Zhou Xing and other major actors from "The Truman Show" also came together.
Liu Fei and Chen Jingning were also invited to attend the premiere.
Now, Liu Fei has successfully captured Chen Jingning's heart with his thick-skinned pursuit, and the two are already a couple.
When they arrived at the entrance of the theater, the staff handed each of Liu Fei and Chen Jingning a bottle of water and a pack of tissues.
"Tsk tsk, this female dog director is much more generous than the male dog director!" Liu Fei raised his eyebrows and said to Chen Jingning.
Chen Jingning couldn't help but smile and said: "That's right, director Li Yi is a bitch, he always brings tears to his eyes, but he is stingy even for a pack of tissues. He is so stingy and stingy!"
In fact, it is routine for movie theaters to hand out tissues and the like.
Especially movies that focus on tear-jerking, this is usually done.
After all, it's just a pack of tissues.
But Li Yi is known as a tear-jerking director. Every time he promotes his movies, he says to prepare tissues. Do you want him to send tissues? Are you thinking about it?
That's why when Mu Qing's movie and theaters distributed paper towels, there was such a big reaction because it was so rare.
Of course, if they knew that these tissues were purely arranged by government staff here in Quan City, what would they think?
Expect the dog director to hand out tissues? No way!
As a result, an interesting scene soon appeared.
"Wait a minute! I'll take a photo and send it to Weibo!" Liu Fei said suddenly.
Chen Jingning looked at this unreliable boyfriend with confusion.
Liu Fei picked up his phone, took a selfie with a tissue, and then posted it on Weibo with the accompanying text.
"What a surprise! This is the first time! Director Gou's movies never give out a pack of tissues, but today they actually give out tissues. It's such a surprise, such an unexpected!"
Then, Liu Fei's Weibo immediately received many comments.
"I'll go, this tissue must be treasured!"
"This is really the first time! No, what movie is being released by Director Gou?"
"It's director Gou and the screenwriter, and his wife filmed the movie "The Wrong Ride". One thing I said is that this really broke the record. He actually took the initiative to send tissues!"
"Speaking of which, we all cried so hard if we didn't give tissue paper before, so if we give tissue paper this time..."
