Chapter 539 The family that is not wealthy makes it worse
The summer season is over, and the movie market has basically started to become flat, leaving only "The Richest Man in Xihong City" to continue to harvest the box office.
Although school is about to start and the entertainment industry will usher in the coldest time of the year, the Internet, especially on Weibo, is indeed unprecedentedly popular.
"Chen Qing Ling" has become a phenomenal online drama. Among young people, especially girls, it is even more popular than all TV dramas in recent years.
At least on Weibo, the popularity of the two male protagonists is unprecedented.
At first, many people thought it was just a flash in the pan and would return to its original form after the TV series ended. However, everyone was wrong.
The male protagonists are already top-notch, and their fans have even begun to expand their territories.
There are more and more topics on the Internet about the previous generation's top "Four Returned Sons" who have good acting skills, crappy singing skills, and long sissies. Various self-media and marketing accounts have also begun to compare the old and new top stars.
When someone rises, someone should give way. This is normal, and this is also the case in the film and television industry.
Weibo has become the world of traffic stars. There are more than ten top celebrities each with tens of millions of followers, which is enough to support the popularity of Weibo.
The back-to-school season is coming soon, and it hasn’t lost much of its popularity.
At this time, Li Qian, who has basically finished all his current work, also announced that he will hold a press conference for his new film "Flight of Destiny".
Li Qian's new film has started shooting. Although the news on Weibo is not as high as that of top celebrities, it is a big news in the film industry.
All links in the film industry chain are paying attention, and countless media are flocking to it.
The early stage of the film was shot in the studio of Huairou Film and Television Base, and the launch conference was held in a hotel near the base.
Half an hour before the press conference, the venue was already packed with hundreds of reporters.
"The wait is finally over. It's been a year since the script was reviewed, and now we're just starting production."
"Come on, if I were so rich and there were so many directors making movies for me, I wouldn't want to make movies anymore. It would be great if a big boss with a net worth of tens of billions could continue to make movies."
"Without Li Qian, I always feel like something is missing. Zhou Xingchi is also a bit broken. In terms of box office, the quality of "Kung Fu" is no longer there. Lao Mouzi's "Shadow" probably won't be a hit either."
"Except for "Operation Red Sea", there seems to be no movie that has exploded in box office and reputation. Li Qian used to make one movie a year."
All the journalists present at the meeting sighed. Although the box office is getting higher and higher, and there are movies worth 2 to 3 billion every year, few of these hit movies have also exploded in reputation.
Many film-related media reporters have now changed their careers to become entertainment reporters, stir up topics and catch scandals, or simply quit their jobs to become self-media.
Self-media is so simple now that it doesn’t even require a topic. As long as you catch a popular traffic star and become a celebrity, the traffic will rise. Then you can monetize the traffic and you will make money. It is much more than what you can earn as a reporter.
Nowadays, there are no reporters and media who simply report on movies. In addition to the traffic era, there is also a lack of classic movies.
There is no movie to talk about, so the report is a hammer.
The shooting of Li Qian's new film has started, which for many people is definitely a good time after a long drought.
The half-hour wait was also very long, but Li Qian still showed up with the actors on time.
"Good afternoon everyone, I'm glad you can come to attend the launch conference of my new film."
Li Qian was also very happy to meet the media again, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Stuck, stuck, stuck"
The camera shutter rang for a while, and Li Qian, Deng Chao, Tong Liya, and Wang Ou let the reporters take pictures for a while.
Seeing that it was almost done, Li Qian picked up the phone again and said, "It has taken so long for the new film to start shooting. I guess everyone has a lot of questions, so I won't be polite. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Directly entering the question-and-answer session, the reporters were slightly stunned and started to ask questions randomly.
"Director Li, is "Flight of Destiny" a movie about the previous Airline M?"
"After waiting so long to start filming, does the subject matter involve a sensitive matter? Is it true that there were rumors that the script was cheated?"
"I said before that the movie is emotional and inspirational, so it's not a tragedy. The starring role is the same as "The Truman Show". Is this also a comedy?"
A lot of questions were thrown at Li Qian, and his ears felt buzzing.
I haven't heard this kind of sound for a long time. In a small venue, hundreds of reporters asked questions at the same time. It was both familiar and painful, and it hurt my ears.
Li Qian showed off to the hotel manager, who immediately asked someone to turn on the venue's display screen, and a giant poster appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The poster is very simple. The background is in the sky, but there is no airplane, only a thick cloud layer. Above the cloud layer, Deng Chao and several other actors stand side by side, with half of their bodies hidden in the cloud layer. Everyone has the same expression.
Raise your head slightly and look straight ahead.
Looking at the poster, the reporters also shifted their attention.
Li Qian turned slightly sideways, pointed at the poster, and explained, "Just like this poster, all the main characters are in the ethereal clouds, looking ahead, just like their lives after the great changes.
Family, career, love, everything is on the verge of collapse. Everyone can only look forward, search, and find their own future.
I seem to have said before that this is the story of a ghost flight. The plane disappears and reappears five years later. Too many things can happen in five years, which is enough to wipe out all the life trajectories of a person. When they reappear, they are like nothing.
Root duckweed, life needs to be restarted, we can only move forward, not backward."
After a pause, Li Qian answered another question that many people were concerned about, "As for the relationship with Air M, apart from the plane accident, there is actually no connection. The flight in "Flight of Destiny" finally
Nothing happened, it reappeared and landed safely."
"Director Li wanted to make this movie after the Air M accident. Wasn't he influenced by Air M?"
Although everyone wants to see a movie that has good reputation and box office, and they are also concerned about this aspect, it does not hinder reporters from doing things. This is the instinct of reporters.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Actually, I have wanted to shoot this subject a long time ago. I still remember reading the fairy tale "Train No. 7801" written by Mr. Zheng Yuanjie several years ago. I had this idea at that time, but it was not perfected.
, I haven’t taken any photos yet.”
Penguin and Teng Huatao, in order to seize the title of the first hard science fiction blockbuster in China, made up a story. Teng Huatao has been fond of science fiction since he was a child. He watched "Fortress" a long time ago and determined to put this science fiction on the big screen.
And Li Qian has been preparing for this short story. It can also be said that he has wanted to shoot this subject for a long time.
The reporters who were familiar with Li Qian's temper also knew that there was nothing they could say, so they did not waste time on this and continued to dig up the content of the movie.
As long as it doesn't affect spoilers, Li Qian has said everything that needs to be said.
Finally, when the show was about to end, someone asked about the title of the film.
"Director Li, I'm very curious, what is the fate of "Flight of Destiny"? Is it destined to have this disaster?"
"of course not."
Li Qian shook his head, "According to the explanations of serious Chinese words and numerology, fate is not an immutable thing. It refers to a pattern in which things are carried out by a combination of fixed numbers and variables. Fate is a fixed number, which refers to a specific object, while luck is a variable.
."
What the hell?
The reporters were stunned. They talked about the movie and even tested numerology. Li Qian also studied fortune telling.
Good guy, no wonder so many emperors in ancient times wanted to become immortals.
Well, Li Qian put it simply, "The general explanation is that life is destiny. Everyone has his own destiny, which is given at birth, but luck means every stage of life, even every second.
There are variables, and you never know what will happen next moment. Destiny is not destined, but everything is uncertain.
As for the fate of the title, it can be understood as something that has already happened. It is something that cannot be changed. Everyone will encounter various difficulties, but from the moment the difficulties occur, you can determine what the future will be like by yourself.
If you work hard to influence, you can control the destiny that has not happened yet.
Through your own efforts, you can change the future and make it move in the direction you expect, the good direction. If you don't work hard and are willing to fall, then what awaits people may not be so satisfactory.
The disappearance of the plane for five years has already happened. It is a huge disaster. Everyone in the movie must use their own efforts to make the future less miserable and better, so this is an inspirational story.
.”
After the press conference, we had a meal at the hotel, and in the afternoon Li Qian took the crew straight to Huairou.
After a simple start-up ceremony, the crew prepared for the filming of the first scene in the studio.
This indoor scene was shot on the plane at the beginning, and the main actors are Deng Chao, the male protagonist with his son, the heroine Tong Liya, who plays the sister, and other supporting characters.
There will also be some shots of the supporting characters that the male protagonist encounters in his subsequent life and that have influenced and touched him.
Either have a few lines or show a face.
The only one who has lines and communicates with the protagonist is Peng Peng. He is also the supporting character with the most scenes later on, and is an important supporting role for the hero to get back on his feet.
When the first scene started, Li Qian briefly talked about the scene.
"Brother Chao, just bring in the background and situation of this character. Your family is not rich. In order to satisfy your son's desire to see the sea with less than two years to live, the whole family goes to the beach with you. It's already a big deal for you.
expenses”
"Peng Peng, you are a senior high school graduate and are about to enter university. Be more lively and express your longing and yearning for university life so that others can see your identity and role."
"Boss, I understand. Just like I was afraid that after I was admitted to the Magic Theater School, I would go to see the school during the holidays. At that time, I was at the Fantasy Theater Academy." Peng Peng nodded repeatedly. He would not forget that time.
, it was Li Qian who I met at the entrance of the Shanghai Theater Academy.
Deng Tonglia, who was closing her eyes to rest and adjust, suddenly opened her eyes and asked curiously, "What are you fantasizing about? Are you thinking about whether the girls in the drama school are pretty or not, and how many girlfriends you plan to have?"
"Ah, Sister Yaya, no, I don't have it." Peng Peng shook his head and denied three times in a row.
Li Qian smiled and said, "After graduating from high school, my longing for college must be to have a girlfriend. This is also normal. You should pay attention to it later and express it."
Peng Peng: ""
"Okay, get ready, we'll start shooting in a quarter of an hour."
Li Qian turned around and left the "cabin" and came to the monitor shed.
A quarter of an hour later, all departments and actors were ready, and the filming of "Flight of Destiny" officially started.
"Second scene, one shot at a time!"
"start!"
At the command, the crew also started moving.
The camera first gave a panoramic view of the cabin, then moved to a six or seven-year-old boy in the seat between Deng Chao and Tong Liya.
The child is sleeping soundly, sleeping very sweetly, with a smile on his lips. He is probably about to see the sea in his dreams. He is so happy. It is hard to tell that he is someone who is suffering from leukemia and cannot live for two years.
The camera slowly moved from the little boy to his face, following Deng Chao's gaze next to him.
There was a close-up shot. Deng Chao looked at his son's sleeping smile and felt a little distressed. Several major hospitals told him that his son could only live for two more years at most.
However, as a father, he was about to fulfill his son's big wish. Thinking of how happy his son would be later, Deng Chao also smiled.
After looking at her son's son steadily for two seconds, Tong Liya on the other side spoke up.
"elder brother."
Tong Liya gently charmed her nephew's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, there will always be a way. Technology is developing so fast now."
"Why."
Deng Chaowei sighed, took out a small notebook, and wrote and calculated something in it.
Every time I write something or draw a horizontal line, I frown.
The camera zoomed out slightly, and it was just enough to show Deng Chao, Tong Liya and the little boy between them side by side.
The little boy is still sleeping soundly, and his aunt Tong Liya next to him is holding the little nephew gently with love and heartache.
On the other side, Deng Chao frowned and was calculating the accounts. This trip will cost a lot of money, and the life of his already not wealthy family will become increasingly tense.
Even if there are no lines, just looking at this scene, the situation faced by this family is not much better.
At this time, people sat in the seats on the other side of the aisle and started chatting.
"Are you also from Hainan Normal University?"
"Then what's your major? I'm a sports major."
He was obviously a familiar person. After sitting down, he started chatting enthusiastically with another young man next to him.
The sound disturbed the quiet family next door. Deng Chao, who was settling accounts, glanced at his sleeping son and turned his head to look at them.
But the voice seemed undecided and continued chatting with the classmate he had just met.
"I'm a good runner, and I got some extra points in the college entrance examination. In fact, I don't know what to teach in the physical education major."
"After graduating from a normal school, I should be a physical education teacher. Let me tell you, if I become a physical education teacher, I will never get sick. I want to be a physical education teacher who will never get sick and will not let other teachers
Take over any of my classes!"
The voice was clearly that of Peng Peng. He was chattering a lot, his head was shaking, and he happened to see Deng Chao looking at him next door.
"Hello, uncle."
Peng Peng didn't know why, so he raised his hand to say hello. Then he saw a sleeping child next to Deng Chao, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed.
"sorry."
Peng Peng rubbed his head in embarrassment, turned around and started chatting again in a low voice. His words were full of longing for college career, unfair criticism of the PE teacher, and even mixed with some obscene laughter.
