Chapter 525: All suffering will become the nourishment for success
So to a certain extent, all the hardships involved in making a movie will become nourishment after the final movie is completed.
For example, Chen Wen was injured, the flu hit the crew, etc. If these had not happened, there would have been much fewer gimmicks during publicity.
Finally, Fang Nan, who was not doing his job, asked about the topic of movies.
Li Yi was almost moved to tears. It was not easy. After talking about so much, he finally got to the serious matter.
"So, why is the movie called "The Pursuit of Happyness"? Instead of knocking on the door of happiness?" Fang Nan asked.
Many people are also very curious about inspirational movies. According to "The Pursuit of Happiness", the male protagonist finally achieves success through his own efforts and knocks on the door of happiness. So why is the name of the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" instead?
"When Happiness Knocks on the Door"?
"Happiness comes when dreams come true. The door to happiness is only open to those who are ready, so let's call it happiness when it knocks on the door!" Li Yi forcibly made up one.
As a result, everyone was confused after hearing this.
"Well, I actually think this name is more pleasant. In fact, the movie wants to tell everyone that we are actually knocking on the door of happiness. I control my own life. This movie hopes to show us a person who strives for hard work.
People who pursue a happy life see a person who faces the hardships of life and still works hard.
Therefore, we cannot wait for happiness to knock on the door, because happiness does not come by waiting, but comes by pursuing and working hard!”
"So at the same time, this is also a warm film about the "pursuit of happiness". This time I am serious! There is really no such thing as selling dog meat over someone else's head!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The movie fans at the scene burst out laughing.
"Things About the Movie" is just the first shot in the promotion war for "The Pursuit of Happiness".
The effect is quite good.
"Director Dog, you have today too! Li Yi was asked about 'crying' on the show!"
"A real record of Chen Wen's injury, a real shot of the thrilling moment when Chen Wen fell down the stairs! This is a real actor!"
""Those Movies" reveals the photos that Li Yi wants to delete most in his life!"
""When Happiness Knocks on the Door" - When life is at its lowest point, don't give up the pursuit of happiness!"
"Director Li Yi's new film "The Pursuit of Happiness": a tender film about the pursuit of happiness."
"Director Li Yi of "The Pursuit of Happyness" personally admitted that he would let the tears fly for a while!"
All of a sudden, various media releases were thrown out in all kinds of ways.
At the same time, it was also announced that "The Pursuit of Happiness" is officially competing for this year's Spring Festival release.
In fact, it is quite sudden, because everyone knows that the previous movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" had a difficult start-up and suffered from flu attacks one after another. It should have been missed in time for the Spring Festival, but as a result, "The Pursuit of Happiness" was not released.
Just happened to catch up.
Of course, no one dares to underestimate Li Yi nowadays, but for a movie that has been scheduled for the Spring Festival, it is still ready to go.
In this year's Spring Festival release, "The Pursuit of Happiness" actually has quite a few opponents.
This movie is always an inspirational movie with realistic themes, and it is in line with Li Yi's usual style of not making big productions or making big special effects. However, this also gave other competitors a chance to defeat him.
During this year's Spring Festival, there are two films that can be considered large-scale special effects productions. At first, I was almost losing my mind. After all, they were the only special effects blockbusters during the Spring Festival. As a result, I discovered that their biggest rival had just been released.
online!
What else is there to say?
Who doesn’t know the domestic market?
Everyone has almost developed a tacit understanding that if they see Li Yi's movie, as long as it is not a movie with a theme like "Su Yuan", it is best to avoid it if possible.
Is it arrogant?
It's really not the case. It's entirely because the cost of Li Yi's movies is not high. Therefore, in theory, at any time, he looks like everyone just treats me as a transparent person. But in fact, he is
Demon king level.
Because you really treat her like a little transparent girl, grass has grown on your grave.
If we can't avoid it, we must join forces to take action. To put it simply, our movies don't have to be big hits, but we must suppress the arrogance of a certain devil.
Moreover, the two main players during this year's Spring Festival are both Li Yi's victims, one is Tang Wenhui and the other is Luo Teng.
Tang Wenhui was targeted by Li Yi in various ways at the beginning. He was the target of all kinds of attacks, gentleness and savagery, all because of him, Tang Wenhui.
If you want to find someone who has an endless hatred for Li Yi, it must be Tang Wenhui, because although his "My Gentle Girlfriend" was not too popular, his aura as a billionaire director was directly wiped out.
Now that he has finally made a comeback, Tang Wenhui is very ambitious and is having a fierce fight with veteran director Luo Teng when Li Yi's new movie is released!
Is this okay?
Luo Teng's side was repeatedly ruined by Li, so the two sides hit it off immediately and immediately turned enemies into friends. The previous tit-for-tat confrontation turned into bundled propaganda!
Tang Wenhui has been sharpening his skills for two years. The special effects shots previously announced for "The Wind and the Dragon", which is billed as China's first typhoon-themed disaster film, are indeed quite good.
As always, Luo Teng still likes to go off the beaten track. This time, he has brought a monster blockbuster "Nian Beast" that is perfectly suited to the Spring Festival. He claims to want to create a Chinese mythical and legendary monster universe, and this "Nian Beast"
That’s the beginning!
The ambition is not small!
In terms of cast alone, the investment for both films exceeded US$100 million.
Compared to a small-budget film like "The Pursuit of Happiness", which only costs tens of millions, and most of which are paid by actors and the director, it is really not on the same level at all.
You see, on one side is a real special effects blockbuster and disaster movie worth over 100 million US dollars.
On the other hand, there are small-budget reality-themed inspirational films that only cost tens of millions of Chinese dollars. The two are really incomparable.
Or "When Happiness Comes and Money Knocks on the Door" can be completely ignored.
But the result is here, because the movie is listed as a work directed by Li Yi, the result is that the two blockbusters "Nian Beast" and "Wind and Dragon Song" are facing serious enemies, and they even turn enemies into friends and choose to carry out bundled marketing and hype.
.
Hug together for warmth?
It really is!
In fact, no one thinks there is anything wrong with what they do.
Because, in "The Pursuit of Happiness", the bad director Li Yi and the leading actor Chen Wen are so popular.
No, after the news came out, the photo of Li Yi crying when he was drunk in Lan Kwai Fong in his early years went viral on the Internet.
It has even been collected by many fans of Li Yi, and they even call it the series that Li Yi most wants to delete!
The main reason is that Li Yi is really recruiting people now, with all kinds of titles hanging on him, which makes many people forget that he once had a past that was unbearable to look back on.
