"Yes, "Frequency of Life and Death" will be released before New Year's Day!"
Li Qian repeated what he just said again.
"There are two other movies to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday: "The Sign of a Proposal" and "Assembly Number". Does Director Li think your "Frequency of Life and Death" can compete with these two blockbusters?"
"There is no conflict between "Frequency of Life and Death" and "Report" and "Assembly Number". These two are war blockbusters, and my "Frequency of Life and Death" is a warm science fiction crime suspense movie."
"May I ask why Director Li chose to release it during the Lunar New Year?"
"As I said just now, "Frequency of Life and Death" is generally a relatively warm movie, which is more suitable for release at the end of the year. Now the audience is eager to go home for the New Year. I hope this movie can bring people together during the period before the New Year.
Give the audience warmth.”
"Director Li has made two online movies before, both of which were very successful. "Jaws" has more than 4 million viewers. If converted into 30 yuan for a movie ticket, it would already have a box office of 120 million. What do you think?
Can "Frequency of Life and Death" exceed this number?"
It was quite harmonious at first. There were no sharp questions. I kept asking and asking directly if I could break 100 million.
From the reporter's point of view, the 100 million seems to be a number that comes right out of the mouth.
Li Qian organized the words in his mind and said with a smile, "Every director hopes that his movie can get a higher box office, and I am certainly no exception. There are only so many domestic movies that have a box office of over 100 million every year. I also hope that
I want to be the next one, but all this has to be left to the audience, who can decide the final box office of a movie. I believe the audience will not disappoint me."
Wow...
The reporters at the scene were all shocked. Even the reporter who asked the question did not expect that Li Qian would open his mouth.
No matter what Li Qian said, no matter how tactfully he said it, the final news was this: newcomer director Li Qian boasted that the box office of his new film would exceed 100 million.
He still has some moral integrity. Instead of reporters who have no limits, he has to add "The sword is aimed at the box office champion in the Lunar New Year!"
But he never expected that Li Qian was not modest at all, so he just said that the box office target was to exceed 100 million.
Young man.
Some reporters secretly sneered, and then asked more pointed and sensitive questions, intending to teach a young man like Li Qian a lesson.
"Which movie does Director Li think will eventually win the box office championship during the Lunar New Year?"
Are you so stupid?
There is such an idiotic problem. The movie has not been released yet. Who knows how it will turn out except the filmmakers themselves.
The more silly questions are yet to come.
Some reporters even asked Li Qian if he was confident of winning the Lunar New Year box office championship.
Any reporter with any sense of integrity would not ask this question. This not only makes him an idiot, but also treats Li Qian as an idiot, and all netizens who will see this news in the future.
The subsequent questions have become more and more acute, and they have bad intentions. They are all those who are afraid of the world being in chaos.
Several actors were also affected. Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao were asked about the difference between filming "Frequency of Life and Death" and "Assembly".
""Frequency of Life and Death" and "Assembly" are different movies. In this movie, I play a father with a happy life, a virtuous wife and a filial son. In fact, it is a very wonderful feeling for me personally, because I
As a father, I also felt the warmth of home during the filming process..."
Although Zhang Hanyu was somewhat famous after starring in Ma Xiaogang's several movies, it was only after starring in "Assembly Number" that he really became popular, even though the movie has not been released yet.
Coupled with so many years of life experience, I am still calm and comfortable when dealing with reporters.
No matter what the reporters asked, they just talked about "Frequency of Life and Death", even if the answer was not what was asked.
Anyway, you ask your question, ask whatever you like.
But I say mine. No matter what you ask, I will just tell you whether you want to hear it or not.
Deng Chao has also been famous for many years. He does not have a big company behind him, and he is very comfortable dealing with the media and is used to it.
I was cheated at the press conference of "Assembly" last time. There was really nothing I could do about it. With Ma Xiaogang's temper, he was a little unhappy with Huayang's appointment of Deng Chao to star. No matter what he said, Ma Xiaogang would lose his temper.
"Actually, like Brother Hanyu, I also have a very strange feeling, because I play a son, but the father of my character is dead, so if I want to play a son well, sometimes I feel that it is okay to
and."
Next to him, Zhang Hanyu added, "I'm not dead. I've never been dead. I'm still alive and well."
Deng Chao: "..."
Actors spend far more time under the spotlight than directors. Dealing with reporters and paparazzi has become an essential skill for every actor.
As the heroine, Yuan Quan will inevitably be mentioned again about her relationship with Xia Yu.
At the 16th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival last month, he and Xia Yu were photographed returning to the hotel together, and the relationship was once again hyped by the media.
Yuan Quan has long been used to this kind of thing.
Now it's the movie press conference again. A few months ago, Deng Chao was asked about his relationship with Sun Li at the press conference of "Assembly Number". The incident that made Ma Xiaogang unhappy is still vivid in his mind.
Yuan Quan just smiled like a formula and casually brushed it off.
As for the other actors, none of them were well-known. Only the reporters arranged by Guangxian were taken care of by everyone as a matter of routine.
The press conference went smoothly, and it was already noon when it was over, so everyone had a meal together in the hotel.
At the dinner table, Li Qian also talked about his future work arrangements.
"There is still a little more than a month before the movie is released. Our movie will be screened in several locations across the country on the 14th, 15th, 16th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd next month."
"We don't have to show up for the screening. We started promoting it half a month before the release. We went to three movie channels, road shows to promote, and two portals for interviews. That's all we have to do in the early stage. I'll wait for the specific date in two days.
According to Xian’s arrangement, you all have to make time starting from December 14th.”
Li Qian said and looked at Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao again, "As for you, Guangxian will go and discuss the itinerary with Huayang, and try to stagger it as much as possible."
The two movies are almost on the same schedule, so there will inevitably be conflicts in promotion. Don't make things difficult for the actors. The distributor will communicate with them themselves. Otherwise, the actors will be busy and will not be able to please both parties.
The two nodded. It had nothing to do with them in the first place. The promotional itinerary was arranged by the publisher and they just followed it. As for whether there would be a conflict, that was not their place to say.
After he finished speaking, Li Qian raised his glass and said with a smile, "I'd like to toast everyone!"
"Here's to Director Li!"
"I wish Director Li a great box office success."
"It should be our movie that sells well at the box office."
"That's right, I wish our movie a big hit at the box office!"
...
In the afternoon of that day, information about today’s press conference had already appeared on the online media.
""Frequency of Life and Death" is scheduled to be released on December 30, and it is announced that it will participate in the Lunar New Year competition!"
"New Year's Eve has added a new force, Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao from "Frequency of Life and Death" interpret the relationship between father and son!"
"The director of "Frequency of Life and Death" Li Qian threatened to exceed 100 million yuan in box office. Can the director add another director to the 100 million yuan box office club?"
"Are there new troubles during the Lunar New Year? Who will finally win the championship?"
"Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao said at the press conference that the feeling of filming "Frequency of Life and Death" was better than that of "Assembly"!"
...
Every summer and New Year season, movies are always the hottest entertainment topic.
No matter whether it is a hit TV series or a scandal, it cannot be compared with a blockbuster film that invests hundreds of millions and has famous directors and superstars.
Of course, it also depends on whether it is a phenomenal TV series and what level of celebrity scandal it is.
The news about Tony Leung and Tang Wei's fake acting, coupled with the fact that Carina Lau is often mentioned, was even more popular than the movie "Lust, Caution" itself before.
Of course, this news is still hot now. After the full version of the video was leaked, there were more and more discussions on various forums about whether that scene was really done.
Many people swore to prove from all angles that it was indeed done, and some took the trouble to analyze it frame by frame, without fear of the eye of a needle.
It's more exciting than watching a short movie.
However, "Lust, Caution" itself has been released for almost a month. Although the box office has exceeded 100 million, the popularity has begun to slowly fade.
The other two blockbusters have not yet been released, and the news that "Frequency of Life and Death" has been announced has also attracted attention from the outside world.
"I'll go, Li Qian's new movie will be finished so soon?"
"I remember it started shooting at the end of August, and it was released in December. It's only less than four months later. That's awesome!"
"Look forward to it, there will be three movies to watch in December!"
"The movie "Jaws" scared me so much that I canceled my seaside travel plan and went hiking instead. I must support Li Qian's new movie!"
"It's amazing. I thought I would have to wait almost a year to be released like other movies, but I didn't expect it to be released so soon!"
"Before, there was one movie a month, and now there is one movie every four months. I still miss the days when I was a big fan of shooting movies. I watched every movie and then another movie."
"It's not just four months. "Jaws" aired at the end of June, and it's been almost half a year now."
"Instead of making movies for the Internet, he switched to making theatrical movies faster than other directors. Li Qian is indeed a fast shooter!"
"Quick Gunslinger? Is the Quick Gunslinger you are talking about the Quick Gunslinger?"
"That's right, it's the quick shooter you mentioned."
"What are you talking about, what kind of gun? Where did you get the gun?"
...
After all, the big online movie on Netbo has accumulated a certain degree of popularity for Li Qian.
If viewers who have watched "Jaws" before will not pay too much attention to who the director is, then after these two media reports and "Jaws", they have a particularly deep impression. There is also a high-level "Jaws"
"Sniper Phone Booth", Li Qian's reputation has entered the attention of many movie lovers.
Most netizens are still looking forward to "Frequency of Life and Death", and two high-level online universities are the best sources of trust.
Of course, there are also doubts on the Internet, and there are quite a few.
"It feels a bit unreliable. It's too fast. In such a short time, can a good movie be made?"
"If you open your mouth to break 100 million yuan, do you need to convert it into Yuenan shield?"
"Li Qian won't shoot theater movies as if they were internet movies. It's only been three months since the last press conference, and the shooting time is only about one and a half months. A movie needs to be shot for at least three or four months."
Bar!"
"It's gone, it's a science fiction film. It took more than a month to shoot a science fiction film. You can even imagine what it will be when you close your eyes!"
"A movie with four elements: science fiction, suspense, crime, and family love. Why does it sound like a hodgepodge?"
"I'm just curious about how Zhang Hanyu played Deng Chao's father and Yuan Quan played Deng Chao's mother. When the time comes, my brothers who have watched the movie will come back and tell me."
"It seems that the news has said that it has a bit of time travel, so it is called a science fiction film."
""The Promise" also travels through time and space..."
“You’re hacking my steamed buns again!”
...
At the Xinlang headquarters in Beijing, Zhang Yang looked at the time and quickly packed up his things.
Seeing him in such a hurry, the colleague next to him came over with curiosity on his face.
"Zhang Yang, look how anxious you are, what's the big news again?"
"It's nothing, my sister gave birth to a baby."
"Why did your sister bring a camera when she gave birth?"
"Take a photo to commemorate."
After saying that, he carried a bag and ran out of the company.
Half a year ago, Zhang Yang happened to see an online movie called "Phone Booth" and happened to read a film review. He came up with a plan to force Ma Xiaogang's "Cell Phone" to be related to "Phone Booth" at the press conference.
It just so happened that Ma Xiaogang was already upset about Deng Chao's incident and compared one of his classic movies with a movie called Breaking the Internet. Ma Xiaogang left the scene angrily.
Although it was not mainly his relationship, he became famous in the media circle by angering Ma Xiaogang at the press conference, and he jumped to the largest portal website in China.
But since then, he has not paid attention to Li Qian.
Even though he wrote several news articles that were taken out of context and made nonsense at that time, he never cared about who directed "Phone Booth" from beginning to end.
When "Jaws" was released, he didn't pay much attention to it.
It wasn't until Li Qian stepped onto the big screen and watched the news that he remembered who it was.
Ma Xiaogang's new film "Assembly" will be released in mid-December, and Li Qian's new film will be released at the end of December, which immediately made him discover new business opportunities!
"I wonder if Ma Xiaogang still remembers Li Qian."
In the elevator, Zhang Yang was still thinking.
Last time, thanks to Li Qian's movie, Ma Xiaogang was so angry that he left the scene in public, and he became famous in the industry!
This time, Zhang Yang plans to do it again.
Who said Ma Xiaogang was a cannon? He couldn't catch a fat sheep and scoop it up repeatedly.
