"Cohabitation in Time and Space" - the best love movie in recent years, an urban fantasy romantic comedy, the laughs and emotional moments are not embarrassing, and the tears are not cliche. The young and beautiful Tong Liya is eye-catching, and Lei Jiayin is so honest and honest that people like it.
Doubled, every supporting role is outstanding, the baggage shakes are quite natural, and the easter eggs are even more surprising, unexpectedly beautiful!"
"In 2009, and even the biggest dark horse in the new century, "Cohabitation" is fully worthy of the super high box office of over 100 million in nine days. What is rare is that this small-cost movie does not have big stars, and it is a box office success that relies entirely on quality.
Movie!"
"Following Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, and Li Qing, the new generation of mainland directors has added new force. Su Lun, a young girl who has just graduated from the Department of Directing of Central Theater Arts, has once again injected fresh blood into Chinese cinema!"
"The success of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" once again proves Li Qian's amazing vision and has continuously discovered four talented young directors. Li Qian is worthy of being a top talent in the film industry!"
""Cohabitation in Time and Space" has brought thinking to Chinese filmmakers. It is not only big directors + big stars + big investments that can achieve high box office. Young actors, young directors, small investments, as long as you make movies with heart and sincerity, the audience will still buy it.
!”
"There is no sensational love, no vulgar separation of love and hate. "Cohabitation in Time and Space" avoids sensationalism and vulgarity, and makes the love scene interesting and watchable. If you don't care about the appearance of the male protagonist, it can be said to be very good.
It’s a love movie worth going to the theater to watch.”
...
"No, what do you mean you don't care about the hero's appearance?"
In Li Qian's studio, several people who had temporarily finished the promotion and returned to the capital to hold a celebration party for the box office of over 100 million gathered in the studio.
Everyone is very happy after reading these news and comments.
But when she saw this article, Lei Jiayin felt very unhappy.
Let's just talk about movies. What's the point of talking about looks? Ginseng Rooster!
"Datou, you can't let others tell the truth. Among ordinary people, you are pretty good, but if you stand with Yaya, wouldn't you be ugly?" Li Qian smiled.
"Yes, that's what the boss said."
Lei Jiayin fell silent. What could he say, that he was handsome and matched well with Tong Liya?
Too long to live!
Netizens are also very interested in Lei Jiayin's cute and cute appearance. In fact, as "Cohabitation in Time and Space" exceeded 100 million in nine days, the popularity of the male and female protagonists and the movie reached its peak, surpassing that of the same period.
Any movie.
Even if "2012" is unstoppable, it seems to be aiming for 400 million, maybe it can surpass "Transformers 2".
But the popularity of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" is still not urgent, not even half.
After all, it is a Hollywood movie, and the content and actors have nothing to say.
Two unknown young actors, plus a new director who just graduated, combined to achieve a box office of over 100 million, and it broke 100 million in just nine days. This is no less shocking than Li Qian's "Frequency of Life and Death", which broke 100 million at the box office.
but.
Li Qian shook his head, "Actually, I shouldn't have used my name to promote it in the first place. Otherwise, the effect would have been much better than it is now, and Su Lun wouldn't have been ignored."
If it were really a three-nothing movie, with a few third-tier stars and a new director, and the movie would exceed 100 million yuan in nine days, it would really be an earthquake in the industry.
It can even be said to be the most shocking thing in the film industry all year.
Not to mention that the director and actors became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, that's pretty much it.
But now, it can no longer be regarded as a three-no movie by constantly using Li Qian's name to promote it.
Moreover, the media and the audience are basically optimistic about this movie. After all, Li Qian has produced three successful movies.
Every success has made the outside world subconsciously view the films he produced as half of Li Qian's films.
It's not that shocking. As a director, Su Lun naturally gets much less attention. The two actors are a little better.
"October Siege" is about to be released. It is estimated that by the time it is finished, 80% of the audience will regard this movie as a Chen Kexin film.
But this was shot by Chen Deshen, and Chen Kexin was the producer.
After hearing what Li Qian said, Su Lun quickly said, "If it weren't for the boss, I wouldn't have achieved this result."
After several years of drifting to Beijing, hanging around at the bottom of the crew, and singing in major bars in the capital, Su Lun had no other thoughts.
If she were alone, she might still be a little arrogant.
But before him, three new directors, Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, and Yang Qing, were also successful. This is no accident.
Besides, without Li Qian, she would have no chance of raising tens of millions of investments now.
A low-budget movie like this, which had no selling points before watching the movie, was allocated less than ten spots in the schedule during this time, and it was all during the day.
How high can the attendance rate be in broad daylight?
No one is watching, so there is no such thing as word-of-mouth spreading.
Even if there is, it will be less than half a month later, by which time it will be too late.
Su Lun can still see this very clearly.
Moreover, she is already very satisfied with the current situation. Her debut film has a box office of over 100 million, and is very likely to exceed 200 million.
It has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success, something she never dared to imagine before the movie.
The debut film has a box office of 200 million, which is unprecedented!
Su Lun is still in a daze now and can't believe it.
Li Qian's first movie only had a box office of 100 million. She originally thought that if it had a box office of 50 million, then Li Qian would be worthy of the name.
Not only director Su Lun, but also Qi Yukun and Guo Fan, who also helped the crew and participated in the later stages, were a little unbelievable.
"Boss, if you say that "Mulan" won't be a hit, then "Cohabitation in Time and Space" will have a box office of 200 million, right?"
"It's hard to say. Even if the box office of "Mulan" won't be too high, there will definitely be no shortage of early-stage films. China Film and Bernard will jointly distribute it. If it is delayed by a week, then in December, my film will be released.
It was released, and there was no film schedule, and pirated copies had already been released by then." Li Qian shook his head.
The disadvantage of popular schedules is that there is too much competition.
"2012" is already a hit. Even if "Mulan" is not co-distributed by China Film and Bernard, the previous "Painted Skin" starring Zhao Wei and Chen Kun sold 200 million, and it is a big-budget blockbuster, and the film schedule will not be
Less.
The current market cannot accommodate three blockbusters, so sacrifices must be made.
Starting in December, one movie will be a hit every week, so there will really be no movie schedule, not to mention piracy.
Even though it is difficult to break 200 million, Guo Fan is still a little puzzled by the results of this movie, "Boss, but what is the biggest selling point of the movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space"? This box office hit was too sudden.
Bar?"
First of all, it's not just Li Qian's fault. "Nightclub" has a good reputation as a comedy film and was also produced by Li Qian. It only sold more than 50 million yuan. There must be other reasons.
"It's about the audience."
Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Romance films have actually been ignored. Now the proportion of female viewers is equal to that of male viewers. In many cities, it even far exceeds male viewers."
"Then there is comedy. The popular black comedies in the past two years actually have a small audience. To be precise, there are not many viewers who are willing to go to the cinema to watch black comedies. The previous box office analysis of "Nightclub" shows that the box office proportion in first-tier cities is far lower.
Below average, the tastes of audiences in various regions and first- and second-tier cities are also different.
There are differences in audience tastes between big cities and second- and third-tier cities. It’s not that people in big cities have good tastes, it’s just that the environment is different. The soil and water support each person.
"Living in a Supermarket" combines comedy and romance, which captures the female audience, and the main laughs and emotional scenes will not feel alienated from young people in big cities or small towns.
This is why period films are so popular in first-, second- and third-tier markets. Unlike films with modern backgrounds, different styles can easily lose part of the audience."
There are also institutions in China that conduct box office surveys of various genres every year, targeting all age groups and cities, and it is easy to draw conclusions.
Comedies and thrillers usually do better at the box office in second- and third-tier cities than in first-tier cities.
The Lunar New Year release of "Three Shots" will definitely have a much worse box office reputation in the south than in the north.
There is a very gorgeous movie "Little Times" in Li Qian's memory. There is no need to wait for this movie to come out. Li Qian can guess now that the box office and reputation in the south will definitely exceed that in the north, and the situation in second and third tier cities is also better than that in first tier cities.
Well, this kind of fictional Chinese dream is more likely to be popular among young audiences in second- and third-tier cities.
It is purely caused by environmental differences. First-tier cities are already prosperous, so they will not be too enthusiastic about the false glitz and refinement in the film.
Not only the first, second and third tier cities, but also various regions in Central China, South China, Southwest and North China have different movie viewing habits.
Female audiences account for 60% of the audience in Southwest China, and 16% of audiences in South China enter the venue after 9 pm, both of which are the highest in the country.
"The proportions of audiences of various age groups in different regions are also different among those born in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and the different types of audiences in different regions are also different. You should also pay attention to these analyzes when you have time.
When making commercial films, you must understand the market and not ignore worldly affairs. Just like the officials of Optoelectronics, Hollywood has been complaining about them in the past two years and sending costume blockbusters to compete for the Olympics every year. In fact, they have long been tired of it, and we still
I thought people would like to see it."
Guo Fan deeply agreed, "It's the same as chasing a girl. You have to figure out what the girl likes. When I was in college, my roommate chased a girl. The first time they went to eat Malatang, they had a very happy chat, and he just
I thought that people like Mala Tang very much, so I went to eat it every time from now on, but it turned out that they didn’t like it very much, and they got tired of eating it every time, and my classmates didn’t notice, so I ended the fun.”
"Brother Fan, the classmate you are talking about...is you yourself, right?" Tong Liya interrupted abruptly.
"No! No, how could it be me? Do you think I am such a stupid person?" Guo Fan immediately retorted.
"hey-hey."
"I told you about my classmates, roommates, and roommates who sleep on my lower bunk." He emphasized again.
Everyone also suppressed their laughter.
"Okay, stop exposing others' scars and go to the celebration press conference quickly. Don't be late."
They rushed Su Lun and others to the hotel to attend the press conference, but Li Qian stopped going. At this time, with the popularity of "Cohabitation in Time and Space", Li Qian is no longer needed, so don't steal their limelight.
...
"Come to Lao Guo, I've come up with a good idea during the past two days of rest. It's a science fiction type. See if you can shoot it."
As soon as these words came out, Guo Fan immediately became interested. He was determined to make a science fiction blockbuster, but he had been racking his brains these past few days.
However, for a wonderful story, it always feels a bit uninteresting when made into a movie, and it is not the science fiction blockbuster he had in mind.
And a story with a grand background and spectacular scenes is too difficult to shoot.
Liu had already published two volumes of "The Three-Body Problem" and he liked it very much, but he couldn't make it, so he didn't dare to make it for fear of ruining such a good film.
It would be even less reliable to make up a science fiction story by yourself.
He just loves to watch science fiction movies, and if he really wants to write them, it would be a headache.
While looking for a suitable story, he also asked Li Qian to give him some ideas. If he had a good idea, the initial problem would be solved.
Guo Fan quickly asked, "Boss, what is it? Tell me quickly."
Li Qian smiled and said, "It doesn't have many special effects. It's a plot-oriented science fiction film, but you might be interested in this idea."
There are too many special effects for him to play, the cost is high, the domestic technical level is not enough, and he has not been exposed to it yet.
The most important thing about science fiction is not only creativity. Any classic science fiction film, no matter how gorgeous the special effects are, must have good creativity.
Hearing Li Qiandu say this, Guo Fan felt even more itchy.
"Boss, please tell me."
"Don't worry, let me think about it."
After taking a sip of water and thinking about it in his mind, Li Qian spoke.
"In the future, humans will be able to manipulate time and rewrite age as they wish.
In human society, no matter how long a person lives, his age is always fixed at 25 years old. Father, son, grandson, grandfather, and even eighteen or even eighty generations, as long as they continue to live, their appearance will be fixed at 25 years old.
.
Because there is no natural death, in order to avoid population expansion, human society abandoned the previous currency and switched to using time as currency circulation. After a person's time runs out, that person will die.
When working in a factory, the salary paid is time, and it takes time to buy things. Time replaces all uses of money, and time can also be given away.
One day, an ordinary person got a huge fortune and thousands of years..."
"Can humans control time? Time replaces currency?"
“The rich 1% control 90% of the time?”
Listening to Li Qian describe this idea, Guo Fan's eyes lit up. This was an idea he had never heard of before.
"So boss, the rich live forever and the poor live and die day and night. This is mainly a movie about capitalists exploiting civilians and the male protagonist "robs from the rich and gives to the poor"?"
Li Qian nodded, "You can think about what the core is. Superheroes who break the rules are not impossible, but don't forget that the main things that interest Goudong's audience are emotions, family affection, friendship, and love."
Guo Fan thoughtfully said, "Time means life. When the time you have is cleared, life will end. The time between life and death is the best time for emotions to burst out."
"Let me give you an example. For example, the protagonist is an ordinary person who has limited time and has to make careful calculations every day. In the morning, the son goes to work, and the mother plans the day's schedule and the time required, and spends the rest of her time She gave it to her son, and then gave her time after her son came back from get off work and got his salary.
But when I finally got home and took the bus, I found that the bus prices had increased and I needed more time to buy tickets.
The mother could only run back, but the son found that the time had passed and the mother had not come back, so he went to look for her along the road.
Finally, one second before time ran out, mother and son met on the street and ran towards each other.
However, there is only one second left before I can give time to my mother.
Think about the scene at that time. Because you still look like a 25-year-old, just like a young man, you wear high heels when you go out. When you come back from running barefoot, your feet are bleeding. It’s only one second before your son dies.
In arms.
Faced with this situation, the actor is going to collapse, he just got a lot of time."
Guo Fan asked back, "There is no other way. Is everyone willing to die without saving anything?"
"Don't argue!"
"Time is life. In a society like that, who will help? The bus prices have increased, and the driver won't let you get on even if there is less time. Even in today's society, the driver won't let you get on the bus if you don't pay coins."
Guo Fan smiled sheepishly. He listened to the story just now and asked purely as an audience.
"Boss, what's the name of this story?"
"Well... let's call it "Time Planning Bureau". It's a bit vulgar, but it's simple and direct."
""Time Planning Bureau"?"
Guo Fan also nodded in agreement and immediately ran to the computer. He began to write down everything Li Qian said, and then slowly came up with specific ideas.
The creativity of this film is enough to deserve 90 points, but in terms of Li Qian's opinion of the film, it only scored 70 points. It's a pity. Let's see what good ideas Guo Fan can come up with.
...
