There are quite a few movies that have appeared on Xinwen Network. Basically every year during the Lunar New Year, Xinwen Network will report on the Lunar New Year program in the form of a text message.
Usually it's half a minute shared by several movies, the kind that passes by in a flash.
In the past few years, the only news network that exclusively reported on the news was "Assembly Number", which showed news for more than one minute.
The 2009 bad movie "Roboman" was also featured on Xinwen Network alone. Although it was also a short message, it was not shared with other movies.
The reason given by CCTV at that time was that as a domestic science fiction film, it dared to compete with Western science fiction films and it had to be set as a model.
"Moon" and "I Am Legend", which are also science fiction films, have not been reported separately. They are only featured in the Lunar New Year specials and appear together with other movies.
This time "I'm Not the God of Medicine" appeared on the news network. Although it only lasted for 30 seconds, it was reported separately, which is rare in the industry.
As far as the audience is concerned, it’s all about being awesome.
"Li Qian is so awesome. He was even featured on the Xinwen Network. It seems that the government also recognized "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!"
"There is a card, let Xinwen Network report it separately!"
"We should also rectify these drug dealers. Ten years ago, a bottle sold for tens of thousands of dollars. At that time, they could not make more than 10,000 yuan a year."
"The black-hearted capitalists should have died long ago. The pharmaceutical industry is simply making huge profits!"
"If the country really takes action, the patient will really be saved!"
"When I watch commercial movies, they are no worse than art movies. What's the point of having connotations? They might as well help the common people!"
...
With "Transformers 3" being surpassed by "I Am Not the God of Medicine" in both a single day and a single week, the domestic film market has been completely enveloped by the public opinion of "I am not a God of Medicine".
Even though "Transformers 3" still has a box office of 400 million more, under this trend, anyone who pays a little attention to the film industry knows that "I'm Not a Medicine God" is a sure thing to overtake.
There are no opponents, and there are almost no negative voices. Being on the news network also represents official recognition, and the situation is almost perfect.
However, the publicity that needs to be done still needs to be done, and various road shows, interviews, and meetings are indispensable.
After staying in Tianjing for a day, we went south to the Magic City.
Early in the morning, the crew gathered together to have breakfast in a five-star hotel. They had good food and drinks. They couldn't treat themselves badly.
"Director Li, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has been on the Xinwen Network alone. It's the only one of ours in the past two years." Xu Zheng said with a grin as he touched his belly after eating.
"It's just a 30-second text message. If it's a topic of more than one minute, it's almost enough." Li Qian said nonchalantly.
Will you die if you don’t show off!!!
Xu Zheng was speechless. He didn't even care about the 30-second alone text message. If the next movie he directed could receive such treatment, his hair would grow out of laughter.
Huang Bo laughed and said, "Actually, I should take it later. I won't take it until it reaches one billion. There should be a special topic."
Hu Ge responded, "I think it's okay. After all, it's the first domestically produced movie worth over one billion dollars."
If you open your mouth, it's either a billion or a special topic on the News Network. Liao Fan, Tan Zhuo, Wan Qian and others don't know how to interrupt. I've never seen this situation before.
They are both young actors, and Liao Fan was only nominated for a Golden Horse Award for Best Actor. Although he has appeared in blockbusters such as "Assembly" and "Let the Bullets Fly", he only played a supporting role.
Tan Zhuo has been involved in the literary and art circles, and Wan Qian is half a newcomer in the film and television industry. The only role that is famous is Chen Jiaojiao, the fourth female lead in "The Age of Naked Marriage".
He suddenly participated in a sensational movie like "I'm Not the God of Medicine", with a box office of over 1 billion, and I'm still in a daze for more than half a month.
However, my mentality has not changed much. I will return to my respective circles next month. Life is still the same. At most, I will get more supporting roles.
You don't become popular just by starring in a blockbuster movie. All the actors in "Assembly" were paid a total of one million, and most of them are unknown actors. The third male lead in the movie is just the instructor, and there is no news at all, and the female lead is also
There was no splash, and any audience would not know the name of the actress.
"By the way, Brother Zheng, after you've been busy for a while, it's time for you to continue working on the sequel to "Unfortunately" and try to make it next year." Li Qian turned to Xu Zheng and said.
"There will be no problem next year. I have already conceived the script. Bozi will leave it to me next year. Then we will add the security guard and the three swordsmen will definitely be able to show off their talents." Xu Zheng said quite confidently.
"Next year should be fine, but I won't have time in the second half of the year. Guan Hu asked me to do a movie." Huang Bo agreed.
Speaking of new films, Xu Zheng couldn't help but ask Li Qian, "Director Li, you should have an idea for your next film, right?"
One movie a year, seamlessly connected. "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was produced before "I Am Legend" was finished. Xu Zheng even suspected that Li Qian's next movie had already been conceived.
"I probably have an idea. I'll finish my busy work this time and then take a break. It's been more than a year since I took a break." Li Qian shook his head.
Sure enough, Xu Zheng knew it.
Counting back to Li Qian's "I Am Legend" which was filmed around this time last year, a whole day has passed and both movies have been released. This speed scares me to death.
Xu Zheng pretended to sigh and said, "How come the gap between people is so big? Director Li's random idea is a classic. When I came up with the plot of the sequel to "Unfortunately", it took me more than half a year."
Huang Bo also sighed, "Oh, yes, people say you are extremely smart, but why are you so incompetent? What do you think is going on?"
"..." Xu Zheng patted his head speechlessly.
With Xu Zheng and Huang Bo around, the whole promotional trip was quite fun, and anything could make people laugh.
.......
After a cheerful breakfast, Li Qian continued his road show journey.
Grand Guangming Cinema, the iconic location of Magic City Cinema, Li Qian is here again.
Magic City is also the home stadium of Xu Zheng and Hu Ge.
"Dear audience friends in Magic City, we meet again at the Grand Guangming Cinema after half a year. I wonder if there are any audience members present from the "I Am Legend" meeting half a year ago?" Li Qian said hello to the audience.
"have!!!"
Many enthusiastic spectators shouted and raised their right hands.
Li Qian smiled, "Looks like I have a lot of old friends. Brother Zheng and Hu Ge in our crew are also from Magic City. In order to repay everyone's support for me, I asked them to perform a pole dance from the movie live.
Let’s talk about it, please!”
"good!!!"
Thousands of people in the audience burst into laughter as the big star danced on a pole. Although she was not a sexy and beautiful female star, the male star could do it too.
Some female viewers, including those in their late thirties, couldn't help but stare at Hu Ge with bright eyes.
One gentle young woman even had the courage to say loudly, "Director Li, did you take off your clothes and dance like Deng Chao?"
After saying that, he covered his face with some embarrassment, lowered his head and smiled.
"???"
What do you want to do!!!
Xu Zheng and Hu Ge subconsciously shrank back and looked at Li Qian with resentful expressions. They had no idea about this at all.
Li Qian put down the microphone and whispered to the two of them, "It's just a dance. Actors who can't dance are not good actors. Don't worry, you don't need to take off your clothes. This is not an 18-ban show."
He coughed lightly and said to the audience, "If you want to see your lover take off his clothes, you can ask your lover to go home and dance by yourself. We are all serious people!"
After saying that, he waved to the cinema staff at the door, who immediately carried a steel pipe and installed it on the stage.
Repeating road shows every day is so boring, it’s good to have some fun.
We have discussed it with the cinema a long time ago, and the other party has no objection at all and supports it 100%.
After the steel pipe was fixed, Li Qian said, "Tan Zhuo injured his knee a little while practicing dancing, so I won't give you a demonstration. Feel free to express yourself."
Xu Zheng and Hu Ge looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
"Oh, don't be coy and perform for the people in your hometown."
"Can everyone give them a little applause?"
Li Qian made a temporary guest appearance as the host, pointing the microphone at the audience.
"Papa..."
"ah!!!"
"Hugo I love you!"
The applause and screams were loud, and the audience was extremely excited. This road show was not in vain, and there were additional bonus performances.
Xu Zheng also took the risk. Under the expectation of everyone, he grabbed the steel pipe and twisted in several extremely uncoordinated postures.
There is no sense of beauty at all, but it is so funny that it made everyone laugh.
Finally, Xu Zheng grabbed the steel pipe with one hand, leaned forward toward the audience, made a flying motion, and blew a kiss to the audience with his other hand.
Li Qian was really worried that his fat body would drag the steel pipe down, which would be a tragedy. It will be a headline tomorrow.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
"Ha ha ha ha...."
"Hey, I can't do it anymore, I'm laughing so hard."
"Wow, one more!"
Hu Ge had no choice but to bite the bullet and twist around the steel pipe like a gourd.
Fortunately, he is thin. Although he is still jumping around, at least he is not like Xu Zheng, who is slowly squirming like a big insect.
The applause and screams of the female audience were far more intense than when Xu Zheng danced.
"It seems that everyone likes Hu Ge's dance better. Can we let him do it again?" Xu Zheng shouted from the side.
Hu Ge's face turned dark immediately...
.......
"Haha, today's road show was quite fun. It's not so boring after all."
After leaving the Grand Guangming Cinema, Li Qian was in a good mood. For such a boring road show, he just had to find something interesting to do occasionally.
"Actually, Hu Ge, you don't have to repeat the same action. In the end, you can wrap your hands and feet on the steel pipe, treat the steel pipe as a peerless beauty, and then wink at the audience. I guess the female audience will be hoarse."
Already."
"Director Li, you are still laughing at me." Hu Ge was on the verge of tears. He had finally finished the dance while suppressing his shame, but Xu Zheng and Huang Bo were so angry that he had no choice but to do it again. If he had known it,
In the morning, I used the excuse that I was too hungry to eat.
"I'm not laughing." Li Qian laughed.
"You are obviously laughing and you haven't stopped laughing!"
"I really didn't laugh. As a professional director, I have watched countless movies. No matter how funny the plot is, I will never laugh." Li Qian shrugged.
"..." Hu Ge was speechless.
However, Li Qian then added, "Unless I can't help it, hahahaha... I'm laughing so hard hahahahaha cough cough..."
...
The happy day gradually passed, but in the evening, some bad news appeared, and the good mood disappeared again.
A large number of posts suddenly appeared on the Internet criticizing the fabrication of "I'm Not the God of Medicine". Many practitioners and students in the biological and pharmaceutical related industries criticized the movie for ignoring reality and blaming the pharmaceutical companies for the sky-high price of drugs.
