Chapter 530 It’s All About Topics

Promoting a movie, in essence, means letting people know that a movie is released.

The most traditional way is media reporting…

With so many movies every year, why should the media cover you?

Even if it’s a report, why should it interest the audience?

Therefore, hype is needed.

Regardless of whether it is to speculate on CP or feelings, there must be some speculation!

Therefore, every time a new movie is released, Feng Xiaogang will always cause trouble. Do you think he has too much on his plate? In fact, he is creating momentum!

What about "Manslaughter"?

Starring Gong Li, a perfect crime movie...

Then what?

What's the attraction?

Starring Gong Li, is it comparable to Zhou Yunfa + Gong Li + Zhou Jielun in 10 days?

We’re all going to the movies, so why not spend the same money to watch a blockbuster movie with all the stars together?

Yes, "Manslaughter" is a good movie and can win with quality...

But don’t forget, in just ten days, “The Golden Jacket” will be released nationwide on the 14th, which means that enough topics must be created two days before the release to attract the audience’s interest...

The conflict between Gong Li and Liu Xiaoqing...can be hyped up!

What?

They appreciate each other and there is no conflict?

how can that be possible!

The key... When Liu Xiaoqing participated in the recording of "Very Drama" some time ago, she publicly said, "I am the best actress in China, and I don't want to compare with Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi."

Moreover, last year, she also heard Huang Jianzhong reprimand Zhang Yu: "This kind of ugly behavior is like a mouse droppings, destroying an originally clean pot of porridge. This person has an ugly mentality, is scheming, and doesn't even know how to be a human being. Facts On the other hand, she never really joined this circle. To survive in the acting industry for a long time, the most fundamental thing is to be a good person first. ’

Well, just like Bai Ye taught Han Han a lesson, "You are not considered a member of the literary world"...

The difference is that Zhang Yu's influence is definitely not as good as Han Han!

But... Liu Xiaoqing is here, so a reporter asked Shen Xudong about the "hidden rules"...

"I don't deny that there are things that everyone can't see in Vanity Fair and the spotlight. After all, this is a very competitive circle... A suitable character with a likeable personality can be remembered by the audience..."

Shen Xudong thought for a while and answered seriously: "Which circle has the most fame and fortune, which circle will attract the most flies, flocking one after another. The so-called flies refer to those who have no artistic pursuits, but pursue fame, wealth, food and sex. People who have the first priority, anyway, I have always felt that there is no particularly dirty circle, it is just certain people in the circle that are dirty."

"fly?"

"Yes!" Shen Xudong continued: "With high-quality projects and mainstream film and television resources, who can get a role by sleeping with someone? I don't think anyone would believe it!"

Liu Xiaoqing interjected: "That's right, that Zhang Yu is basically a clown..."

"I think it's the atmosphere in Hong Kong and Taiwan that has ruined us..."

Lin Lingdong hurriedly said: "There are no hidden rules in Hong Kong and Taiwan!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Director, please stop talking. Who doesn't know that Hong Kong movies have a gimmick to become famous... A lot of stars have acted in third-level movies... For money and fame, people are willing to do anything, and work as mistresses for rich people. , willing to be taken care of...let alone unspoken rules..."

Liu Xiaoqing also chimed in: "That's right..."

Lin Lingdong was speechless and speechless...

Okay, let’s stop there!

There are enough topics. If we continue talking, we will involve systems and so on...

…

"There is no way, our movie is a crime suspense movie. In comparison, the audience is more willing to watch blockbusters and suspense movies in the theater, and the effect of watching a disc is almost the same..."

"So, I need to create a topic that can be discussed... When the movie is officially released, I believe everyone's attention will be focused on the movie itself!"

Shen Xudong explained to Lin Lingdong the reason why he spoke so carelessly...

He still respects Lam Ling-tung and is a good director.

Lin Lingdong waved his hand: "It's okay, I understand. The most important thing for a movie is to sell well. It's very cruel. If you get it, you get it. If you don't get it, you don't get it..."

"Then...watch a movie."

The story of "Manslaughter" is to transfer the male protagonist's role to the female protagonist. Gong Li plays Ayu. Her husband passed away. She raised the family by herself, opened a video hall, and was a movie fan...

Living in a border town full of smuggling and drug trafficking activities, various powers intertwined to crush fairness and justice.

Ayu's eldest daughter Pingping was forced to do something by the inspector general's son, and she accidentally killed him during the resistance...

Ayu had witnessed the Inspector-General's abuse of lynching and knew that the law was useless. In order to protect her daughter and her family, Ayu buried her body to cover up all evidence. In the intertwined gap of time and space, she started a desperate battle with the police on the physical and mental level.

Lam Lingdong's camera scheduling is very good, and his rhythm control is excellent. He gets into the theme in the first 20 minutes, and then he gets off the hook!

The film critics at the scene were shocked after watching it: the subject matter was too bold, the crime was perfect, and the ending was also very exciting: the police station was completed, Gong Li said to the newly appointed police chief (guest star Hui Yinghong), "I believe it" You and your police station will always protect the kind-hearted us." With the inspiring BGM, she turned and walked out of the police station, and a shadow appeared. She was carrying a cement bag and a shovel... explaining where the victim was buried.

"I went and didn't surrender?"

"This... is too bold. How did it pass the trial?"

Yes, how did you pass the trial?

It's simple, Gong Li won the award...and "Manslaughter" was released as a Hong Kong-Thailand co-production...

The most important thing is that this movie was directed by Lam Ling-tung - at this stage, we are still very tolerant of well-known directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Otherwise, why would "Drug War" be released?

The audience was very satisfied - "Manslaughter" is indeed a high-quality movie on all levels.

…

At the end of the movie, the creators received a warm welcome.

The audience and reporters actively asked questions, and Lam Lingdong also answered them: "It was the script that moved me. I had been discussing making a movie with Xu Ke... I saw the script of "Manslaughter" and immediately decided to make it. this!"

"No, Xudong just talked for 100 minutes. There is no need to show too much about the system..."

"It turned out that the subtitles were added by the publisher... and they said it could pass the review."

"I feel that since we want to develop in the north, we must abide by the system here, and "Manslaughter" is very expensive, costing 40 million. I was also worried about the scale when filming... But Xudong said, don't be too pessimistic when making movies... "

Shen Xudong explained: "It was shot first. If it needs to be changed, we will change it... Anyway, the theme of this movie is here, and we also changed the background to Thailand..."

"Box office... I have always felt that Chinese audiences should watch feature films. "Manslaughter" is definitely a very good feature film. I originally expected 150 million... "The Golden Jacket" even dared to boast 400 million, so I will settle for 200 million!"

"In terms of lineup, we are not inferior to the ones in "The Golden Jacket"... Chow Yun-fat is not an international superstar, he can't even play the leading role in Hollywood!"
