"Two new talents have been added to the summer schedule, "Jaws: The Revenge" and "127 Hours" are scheduled to be released at the end of July!"
"Last year's online movie Jaws, which took the summer vacation by storm, is back again. The sequel, Jaws: The Revenge, is scheduled to be released on July 30. Seaside tourism may be hit again."
"It is understood that the thriller "Jaws: The Revenge", which will be released at the end of July, and the suspense movie "127 Hours" starring Deng Chao are both produced by Li Qian, and the two films will support the August summer schedule!"
""Jaws: The Revenge" and "127" were all shot by a new director. He has previously served as Li Qian's assistant on three films. Can he recreate the box office miracle of "Frequency of Life and Death"?"
"Are you worried about the suspense in the summer season? "Jaws" has had as many as 4 million effective clicks, and the total number of views has exceeded 10 million!"
"According to professionals, Li Qian is the producer of "Jaws: The Revenge" and "127 Hours" but is actually a film director. He shoots three films at the same time in a year. The quality of the films may be worrying."
...
Just when "Red Cliff" was released, the two movies "Jaws: The Revenge" and "127 Hours" also started promoting, and it was less than 20 days before the movie was released.
"Jaws: The Revenge" itself is a popular movie, and there are definitely many viewers who have watched the first movie.
"127 Hours" only stars Deng Chao, and the publicity fee is only 1 million, which is pitifully small, and it cannot do much large-scale publicity. It is basically bundled with "Jaws: The Revenge", after all, it will be released at the same time.
, and they were all supervised by Li Qian.
Even though "Red Cliff" has completely dominated the screen with the release and huge hit, these two movies have also occupied part of the news space due to the fame of Li Qian and "Jaws".
The director has a box office of over 100 million yuan and is a phenomenal online movie. It is hard for the audience not to pay attention to it.
"Oh my god, the second part of "Jaws" is finally going to be released, and it was specifically chosen to be released during the summer vacation."
"Uneasy and kind-hearted! Absolutely uneasy and kind-hearted!"
"Don't try to lie to me this time. I'll be on vacation at the beach. No matter what happens, I won't be afraid!"
"Damn it, Li Qian's damn thing prevented me from going on my honeymoon last year. I watched "Jaws" as soon as I arrived in Qiongdao, and there was a scary sand sculpture in the sea, so I didn't go into the water for a whole month.
"
"It's so heartbreaking. I want to scare people at this time. The beach is almost closed."
"What's so scary? The title of the film "Jaws: The Revenge" is so straightforward. It's just the story of the shark that appeared at the end of the last film and comes to take revenge. It's so simple and nothing interesting."
"Then what is the relationship between the great white shark and the dead one? Has the revenge been successful?"
"Who knows what kind of relationship it is, it's not just a relationship with a wife, a child or something like that. As for whether the revenge will be successful or not, you can just think about it with your toes. The protagonist will definitely kill him."
"The routines are probably the same. I don't want to watch the second part. A ticket costs dozens of dollars, so I might as well rewatch the first part."
"If you don't want to watch it, movie tickets are so expensive. If you watch it online, it won't be the same. It's not filmed by Li Qian. It will definitely not be as good as the first one. I'm going crazy thinking about money."
"Not necessarily. Maybe the great white shark succeeded in getting its revenge later."
"Think about it, the title of the film is "Revenge", and it must be about the revenge story of the great white shark at the end. The shark is the protagonist. If the revenge is not successful, the film does not fit the title."
"The angle is tricky. Even though the title says revenge, the revenge must be successful."
"Damn it, it's not impossible. What if you don't play by common sense?"
"...It's too outrageous. How could the protagonist be killed? But I'm a little curious about "127 Hours". What kind of movie is it?"
"The news said it was a suspense movie, but when I heard the name, I wasn't interested."
"Do the two movies you are talking about have something to do with Li Qian? I saw some news saying that they were all shot by Li Qian, not just the producer."
"You're stupid. We shot three movies at the same time. No matter how fast Li Qian is, he can't be this fast."
"Probably not, but didn't the news say that these two directors are newcomers? I guess even if Li Qian is not the real director, he must have participated."
...
"Jaws: The Revenge" has officially started its promotion. As a standard commercial movie, even though the production cost is only 8 million, the cost of publicity and distribution + copying is also 7.5 million. Even in the expectations of Li Qian and Wang Changtian, later viewing
The situation can even be increased to 10 million, as long as the box office meets expectations.
Even if there is no big star, Qi Yukun is still a newcomer, but after all, the first film has an audience base of millions, which is the greatest confidence to dare to invest tens of millions in promotion.
The Internet, indoor and outdoor advertising screens, TV stations, bus stops, movie theaters... With the launch of publicity, posters have covered most cities across the country.
The one million promotional fee for "127 Hours" was not enough to watch, it was completely incidental.
However, the publicity effect is still good. Directors with high box office sales these days are the most guaranteed box office appeal.
There are more and more discussions online about these two movies, but most of them are about "Jaws: The Revenge."
And Li Qian is still in retreat editing films.
July 18th.
"Finally done!"
In the studio, Li Qian and Guo Fan watched the edited "Moon" three times from beginning to end.
From morning to afternoon, I went through it three times to make sure there were no problems with the editing.
The next step is color grading, soundtrack, dubbing and other post-production work, as well as the rendering that is already in progress.
"Boss, your movie is so awesome. Apart from the lack of big scene special effects, I can't think of any other shortcomings!"
Guo Fan couldn't help but sigh, even though the robot has no dubbing, soundtrack, color correction, or special effects, it can still be seen that this will be a classic movie.
Qi Yukun said, "Actually, when I watched it, I was reminded of a short science fiction film I had seen before, in which an astronaut was trapped on a strange planet, waiting for rescue. It was similar to a mine accident that trapped him underground and had no food.
There is a machine around him that can quickly create clones, so he plans to use his clones as food.
But there is a problem, that is, his clone possesses all of his memories as soon as he is born, including the memory of cannibalism. Therefore, when the clone comes out, it will be a fight, eating the alive and the dead.
After a long time like this, the rescue team came. At this time, the astronaut no longer knew whether he was still the original self, or whether the original self had been eaten long ago, or how many times he had been cloned.
of."
Li Qian thought for a while, "I think it's from "Science Fiction World". I've seen it too, but it will definitely not pass the review. If it is made into a movie, it will look too depressing."
"The article "For Survival" in the tenth issue in 1998."
Guo Fan, the ultimate science fiction fan, immediately added, "This story is really interesting, especially the roulette game between two people. A revolver and a bullet determine who will be eaten within six shots. One of them refuses the other before shooting."
waste."
"It's so scary!"
Listening to Guo Fan telling that story, Tong Liya couldn't help but have pictures in her mind, and she felt sick to her stomach.
Su Lun wasn't much better either. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva in disgust. Girls generally have less resistance than men in this regard.
"To be honest, when I saw it, I thought it was a similar story, or a conspiracy between clones, but I didn't expect, boss, that you actually showed two clones in a desperate situation, and it was so tender and not at all...
unexpected."
Qi Yukun couldn't help but sigh that he and Guo Fan were busy with their own affairs during this period, and Li Qian didn't give them the script. It was only today that they learned that "Moon" is such a story.
It can be said that it was far beyond their expectations. After all, the situation faced by the two clones was that either you would die or I would die, or they would die together. The two of them were naturally on opposite sides and contradictory to each other.
According to normal movie logic, one of them must be the villain.
However, this was not the case. The two clones, who had conflicts in survival, actually got along so harmoniously. They gradually began to feel like family members, and in the end they were even willing to give up hope of survival to each other.
It is said that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly apart when disaster strikes, let alone two clones who have conflicts in life and death.
And this kind of transformation starts from being unfamiliar and slowly changes until it can be handed over to life and death. The transformation is very natural.
It’s not even like many movies, especially romance movies, where usually the hero and heroine will complete the transformation of their relationship and suddenly fall in love with each other because of some major event or even a bloody plot.
Qi Yukun thought about it and found that it didn't seem to happen in "Moon". The relationship between the two clones changed from stage to stage, which was very smooth and natural. There was no sudden plot and the relationship changed suddenly.
This skill is amazing.
After filming "Jaws: The Revenge", Qi Yukun thought he had learned the essence of commercial film rhythm from Li Qian.
But looking at it now, it's still far from enough.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Most audiences like warm and touching plots. I don't want the audience to feel depressed after watching my movie."
After editing the film, I rested for two days before doing other post-production work. During the break, Li Qian didn’t want to talk to them about these things.
After checking the time, Li Qian stood up and stretched his body after sitting for a long time, then he and Tong Liya went out wearing sunglasses.
First, I went to Yintai for some shopping. It just opened in March this year. Many large shopping malls have opened in Beijing this year. The Taikoo Li in Sanlitun will also open on August 8, the day of the Olympic Games.
After a brief stroll and a meal, the two of them arrived at CBD Wanda.
I first watched "Red Cliff" and then bought the tickets for the screening of "127 Hours". Then I looked at the audience's reaction to the screening. Today is the first screening of "127 Hours".
Even on a weekday afternoon, as the core area of the CBD, and with the release of blockbusters such as "Red Cliff", the theater's popularity has not diminished at all.
When the time came, he entered the screening room. Li Qian roughly estimated that the occupancy rate of the screening room with nearly 200 people was almost 60%.
"There are so many people. There are so many people in the afternoon, and it's not the weekend."
Tong Liya also looked around, holding popcorn in her hand and putting it into Li Qian's mouth.
"In the first four working days of the second week, it grossed nearly 50 million in box office. This momentum is much stronger than any previous movie."
Li Qian couldn't help but sigh. According to this situation, maybe it can break 100 million in the second week. That would be 200 million in 11 days, and it is almost certain to break 300 million.
"But I heard it's quite shocking." Tong Liya whispered.
Can it be ridiculous? Several costume films directed by Xiangjiang this year can all be called "rave films".
The movie starts soon, and the first people to appear are Cao Cao's jade pendant and Han Xian Emperor.
There was also a bird. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was playing with the bird in the opening scene, but Cao Cao scared the bird away as soon as he came.
It's either a white pigeon or a bird, so I won't replace it with a fresh one.
The first ten minutes or so were actually fine, but sometimes the lines were very inconsistent. Li Qian couldn't imagine that this was jointly written by screenwriters such as Zhou Jingzhi, Lu Wei, and Wang Huilin.
The Third Army... It’s hard to imagine that this army organization was in the Three Kingdoms.
Zhuge Liang of Jin Chengwu was strange and weak.
However, Zhuge Liang then created a light-reflecting array, and the shield reflected the sun's rays, which dazzled all Cao Cao's cavalry. This was really unacceptable.
And the actor who plays Guan Yu is much worse than Yu Rongguang, not to mention Lu Shuming. The sword looks similar to the one used by the soldiers.
Not to mention Guan Erye's domineering and arrogant character, both his expressions and lines look a bit lacking in energy.
There was also the cooing Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang delivering the horse.
"Mengmeng, stand up."
As soon as these words came out, a small voice rang out throughout the screening hall.
Finally, with the appearance of the white pigeon, the movie ends after a Cuju game, which should be better than the national football team.
The shortcomings from beginning to end prevent people from seriously discovering the advantages of the movie.
"I think it's pretty good. Zhuge Liang is quite funny. Liang Chaowei's Zhou Yu is also very handsome. Zhao Wei plays a carefree character like Sun Shangxiang just right..."
Coming out of the screening room, Tong Liya held Li Qian's arm and chattered about the plot of the movie along the way.
Sitting down in the lobby of the cinema outside, Li Qian was speechless, "Everyone's lines are completely inconsistent with the role of the character. Zhuge Liang's verbal battle with the Confucians was filmed. It seems like he is begging Sun Quan to cooperate, and he is doing it in front of Sun Quan."
Zhuge Liang is such a person who flatters Sun Quan by belittling Liu Bei in front of him. He acts like a flatterer. This kind of alliance between princes is like child's play."
"Liang Chaowei still has a bitter and resentful look, which is not suitable for Zhou Yu at all. Whether it is the little chicken sausage in the novel or the romantic Zhou Lang in the official history, he is completely non-aggressive, and he is handsome, but at his age, he is romantic and suave.
These four words can’t be acted out at all.”
"Sun Shangxiang...I don't even want to say it anymore. Zhao Wei is just playing himself. He is unruly and has a very attractive personality. He is not careless and annoying."
"Actually, Zhang Zhen's Sun Quan would be the best if he removed the Baodao accent. I seem to have seen a review of him in a magazine: The sullenness in silence is so suitable."
"Mensao..."
Hearing this adjective, Tong Liya almost laughed out loud, "Zhang Zhen is also quite handsome, how could he be so boring?"
Li Qian spread his hands and said, "It's not what I said in the magazine."
"Anyway, I think it's pretty good-looking and very funny."
Tong Liya didn't think it was that bad, and didn't agree with Li Qian's opinion. She hadn't finished eating the popcorn in her hand, so she stuffed it into Li Qian's mouth one after another.
"Don't give it to me. I just finished eating and sat in the cinema for two hours, and I haven't digested it at all."
"But I can't eat anymore. I don't want to waste it."
"..."
It's almost seven o'clock, and there's only a quarter of an hour until "127 Hours" is screened.
The office workers were all off work, and there were more and more people in the cinema. Li Qian heard that there were several people around who came to watch some movies.
"The screening will start soon. Please sit back and wait."
"I don't even know what this "127 Hours" is about. I hope you won't waste my sixty yuan!"
"Brother, you also came to watch the screening of "127 Hours"?"
"Yes, it's produced by Li Qian. I've also seen "Red Cliff", so let's take a look."
"It's not like he directed it. It's just a producer's name. The poster is not interesting either."
"It's okay, I also like watching suspense movies, and in the trailer that just came out, Deng Chao was stuck in a mountain crevice by a big rock. I guess he fell to the bottom of the mountain. There is something mysterious inside."
"If "Jaws: The Revenge", "127 Hours", and "Moon" can be released this year, there will be three movies related to Li Qian in the second half of the year. They are as productive as a sow!"
"The quick shooter is not called for nothing, but why doesn't "Jaws: The Revenge" have a spot screening? I have to wait more than half a month to watch it."
.....
Hearing that there was a group of people around him slandering him, Li Qian wanted to throw popcorn in their faces.
Your whole family is a sow, and your whole family is a fast shooter!
Tong Liya suppressed her laughter, blew into Li Qian's ear, and teased, "You are a quick shooter."
