Chapter 416, Movie Release
At this time, Li Yun was also sitting quietly in his home, thinking and looking in the mirror.
The release of "Let the Bullets Fly" is getting closer and closer Li Yun looked at himself in the mirror Now, he is still in the silent period of personality. Theoretically, there is only himself, but Li Yun can still feel the memory in his body. The memory left by the flesh.
Obsession, unwillingness, resentment, doubt and confusion.
This is the remaining emotion in his body towards his father.
Entering the entertainment industry is also due to this reason : "Little tadpole looking for his father, but unfortunately your father does not recognize you as a little tadpole."
At this moment, Li Yun was looking at himself in the mirror.
Squinting my eyes, I seem to see my past body.
A weak orphan, living in this world, he wanted to ask why? So he entered the entertainment industry. He wanted to chase that figure. He wanted to ask.
Ask him why he abandoned me and my mother? Miserable, weak, sad These emotions filled my body.
My thoughts seemed to go back to that cold winter, the sounds of various instruments in the hospital, the smell of medicine, the noisy and impatient voice of the doctor, and the patients being pushed out. Among them was my mother and my own young body.
Li Yun can empathize, but his mind is watching all this coldly. Independence comes from Li Yun and his own thoughts.
"You want to prove yourself, you want to work hard, so when you enter the entertainment industry, you hold your breath and want to prove yourself."
"But I am different. I just regard him as a stepping stone on my road to fame and fortune. He is not an opponent or a goal, but an obstacle and hurdle to overcome."
At this time, Li Yun continued to close his eyes. "Nervous?"
"What's there to be nervous about?"
The person who was talking to Li Modu was Liu Shanhe, the old director of the Bayi Film Studio, who was also the one who firmly provided Li Modu with resources. He insisted that Li Modu's main theme was the correct truth. The public and public enterprises urgently needed a large number of main theme works to provide a powerful medicine for this brainwashed era.
Of course, Liu Shanhe is not stupid, and he will not treat the audience as stupid. The audience will not just swallow the main theme of a good work. If you want to convey something to the audience, they must actively accept it. Therefore, choosing Li Modu, who can shoot a work that is both popular and well-received, is the best choice.
The people like it and its values, world outlook, and values are positive.
Of course, given the special circumstances this time, Liu Shanhe paused and said, "This is your son after all. Will you be lenient?"
"He was angry and if I didn't give it my all, I would be insulting him."
At this time, Li Mo said lightly.
"Besides, pursuing fame and fortune is not his privilege. I also want to pursue fame and fortune. I need to be a 'role model of the times', I need to reach the pinnacle, I need to surpass Zhang Mouzi, Wang Jiawei, Tsui Hark, and Xiaogang."
Zhang Mouzi, Wang Jiawei, Tsui Hark, and Xiaogang. The four kings of directors in the mainland film industry.
The four most influential people in mainland China. In terms of influence, no mainland director can compare to these four.
As for Cheng Shilong and Zhou Xingxing, they are not on the same path as Li Mo, so we will not talk about them for now. Except that Xiaogang is younger, they are almost all directors of the same generation as Li Mo. Their common feature is that they have a certain influence abroad.
A kind that Li Mo wants to pursue. He is not the best. Not yet.
It’s just that the circle hopes that he will be the best one, the one who can become a role model of the times, the one with a good family background.
He is not at the pinnacle of fame and fortune in the country.
"We will. We can do it." At this time, Liu Shanhe sneered. Speaking of Zhang Mouzi and the others, he didn't say that he liked them very much.
Only they themselves know how much weirdness was mixed into the film for the so-called "international award". Although their strength is irrefutable.
But the stance is worth discussing. "You will become the biggest director in our CCTV film circle, get our highest-level resource support, and bring down those guys who shoot weird things. Then, take back our domestic market! Become a super director who is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful and join the director group of our "Founding of a Republic." "
"So, this time, I will fight beautifully."
He didn't even consider the so-called "Let the Bullets Fly" as a rival.
If I regard the younger generation as my rivals, how can I swing my sword at Zhang Mouzi and the others? "I want to reach the pinnacle of fame and fortune, and no one can stop me."
"Let the Bullets Fly" and "The Battle at Lake Changjin" both sound interesting."
Li Yuxuan was at home at this time and was looking at everything in front of him with great curiosity.
One is his nephew, and the other is his elder brother, both former role models of the times, and their goal is to gather together those who pursue fame and fortune.
He has to watch both of these two people's movies.
"So which movie are you interested in?"
At this time, Li Yuxuan's wife Jiang Surong looked at Li Yuxuan and said.
"Me? It should be my brother's movie. The title is simple. Even a ten-year-old child would know where the filming background and story are."
Changjin Lake, the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea Those who are interested in this background and this story will naturally go to watch it My brother sounds high-sounding, but in terms of the selection of materials and topics for the film, it is quite down-to-earth.
Art is the art of the people.
No matter what kind of character his brother had, he never gave up on explaining this truth.
He also did not give up on interpreting what seemed to be the essence of art and the essence of his film.
On the other hand, let’s look at Let the Bullets Fly.
It seems a little unclear. At least it is not as clear as "The Battle at Lake Changjin" which has a clear title.
"It's difficult to define the audience. We can only know the era from the introduction, which should be during the fictional Republic of China."
At this time, Li Yuxuan touched his chin and said, "The choice of this era is also very interesting, the Republic of China era."
This is a very ambiguous era.
It is also one of the major backgrounds for many works.
Jiang Surong said at this time.
"I am more interested in this bullet flying. I have read enough about the Korean War in history books. I don't need to continue to appreciate it."
This is one of the histories that everyone must learn.
The Battle of Chosin Reservoir is also widely known.
What kind of story is this?
Everyone has this little bit of foresight in their hearts.
The composition of this subject is very clear.
And "Let the Bullets Fly" seems to be full of more unknowns.
At least from the perspective of the title, it is difficult to tell what the tone and subject matter of this movie is.
Maybe it's just as advertised.
It is a combination of comedy and main theme.
How did these two completely unrelated characteristics come together?
Jiang Surong was curious about this.
"I'm also quite curious. Comedy and mainstream music are two completely different things. It seems like they are just not meant to be a pair."
Li Yuxuan also felt strange about this.
It felt quite strange.
This is also one of the main reasons why he has a strange opinion about Let the Bullets Fly.
Main theme and comedy.
This mixture has a strange smell.
Once there is more comedy.
Then your movie loses its seriousness and has a shitty main theme.
This is like selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton.
Once the main theme is established, there is no comedy.
Even Li Yuxuan himself couldn't figure out any method.
It can bring the two together harmoniously.
Normally it is impossible to do so.
The difference between them is really huge.
So big that it feels like there is no way they can accommodate each other.
A situation and feeling that is incompatible with each other.
So for these two main themes.
Putting aside personal likes and dislikes.
Purely from the perspective of appreciating works.
It should be that my brother has more advantages.
The work is the commodity.
Obviously his brother.
He knows exactly who will buy his product.
What exactly is needed?
What exactly do they want to see?
Li Yun was challenging the area where his cheap father was best.
That’s what he does best as a director.
The subject matter I am best at.
And you are just entering this field.
He will compete against Li Modu, who has been working in this subject for a long time.
In addition, Li Yun showed many immaturities in this subject matter.
Li Yuxuan felt that.
This battle can be concluded.
Watch now.
How much can Li Yun develop with this subject matter?
"Of course, if he were to make an art film like The Crucible, I would definitely support his box office with both hands and feet, but he is still a little too naive for themes like mainstream themes."
"Of course I will still support a movie ticket. After all, it is very interesting to watch my brother and nephew fight."
"Father and son fight, who will win?"
Such an exaggerated and arrogant title.
I'm afraid only small media in the Hong Kong circle could do such a thing.
But this media is not small.
It’s the paparazzi king, Zhuo Wei.
He also has a mentality of watching the fun.
Of course, he is also a part-time actor now.
The Crucible also made his name as the paparazzi king famous.
It was something that made him feel a little unexpected.
It made him feel a little bit amused and helpless.
Of course, the success and brilliance of The Crucible at the Asian Film Festival also made people recognize it.
He also couldn't help but sigh for this up-and-coming young actor and director.
He can do this.
Now it is his second work.
Let the Bullets Fly, written by the chief screenwriter, director and actor.
Although he didn't understand the meaning of the movie title, he decided to get the entire company to support it.
He bought the tickets and treated us.
"Director Li, can you leave an interview for me?"
"no problem."
Li Yun agreed to Zhuo Wei's exclusive interview.
"Can I be curious, what is the probability that your movie will make a profit this time?" Zhuo Wei was slightly curious about Li Yun's own opinion.
This is a purely commercial forecast.
"Fifty percent."
"Such a high probability?"
Speaking of algorithms in the film industry.
There is a 50% chance of getting your money back.
That's already a pretty high probability.
"No, it's not a 50% chance of getting your money back, it's a 50% chance of a small explosion and a 50% chance of a big explosion!"
“.”
Zhuo Wei was made helpless by Li Yun.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It's really inflated.
But the expansion is very much like Li Yun's style.
Although Zhuo Wei's newspaper is classified as an entertainment newspaper, this time it devoted a page to Li Yun.
Return a favor.
I haven't forgotten the kindness you showed me when you filmed The Crucible.
I am not optimistic about your second movie this time.
I will also do my best to support you.
Of course.
The first-hand report of the battle between father and son.
But they all came from Zhuo Wei's hands.
Even if it's just to satisfy curiosity.
It's worth taking a little financial loss.
Of course, what Li Yun did for Let the Bullets Fly was not just to get in touch with Zhuo Wei.
He also contacted Chen Rui through Jiang Chenggang.
"What? You're going to give me the copyright for the film's media broadcast directly this time?"
At this moment, Chen Rui felt as if he was dreaming.
I feel it is very strange.
It was also a great surprise.
The strange thing is that few people would do what Li Yun did, packaging the broadcasting rights before the movie is even aired. This is a somewhat incredible decision for both the seller and the buyer.
What’s even more strange is that his website was chosen.
On the movie media playback website.
Youku and Tudou are the two strongest ones, and the rest are just small fry.
His B site, like AC site, is a small subculture website.
Although his Bilibili has begun to seek transformation, he is the only one who knows about this.
Li Yun was like delivering a bowl of soup.
I don't know if it's the delicious soup or poison, or the young man in front of me.
The understanding of website selection is different from that of ordinary people.
And the profit-sharing model proposed by Li Yun.
It also depends on the amount of playback.
This is not a one-time deal.
"Including my Ip Man and Let the Bullets Fly, as well as my Crucible, I will give them all to you, including the copyright for secondary creations. I will also put them all on your website."
Chen Rui was stunned by the sudden appearance of the pancake.
But in fact, Li Yun did not feel that he was giving away a big pie, but rather an opportunity for mutual benefit.
Barrage portal websites will become the mainstream in the future, and Bilibili is the leading leader among them.
Although it is not as good as Youku Tudou in all aspects now.
But this subculture website.
It has its own absolute advantages.
Mutual conversion between users.
All their data.
"You haven't completely forgotten me, have you?"
"Of course, Brother Jimmy, you are a business genius."
"Who are you talking to?" The director personality next to him looked at Li Yun puzzledly. He looked around and saw nothing.
Li Yun smiled slightly.
"Someone you can't see."
"You are crazy."
Li Yun felt that being called mentally ill due to his own illness was a very interesting feeling.
Everything is for one's own fame and fortune.
"Then let's get started. Let the bullets fly. Let's see what effect he can have in the second work I prepared for him to reach the peak."
The previous version of Let the Bullets Fly actually didn’t make much box office revenue when it was first released.
This was even one of the few failed works of Jiang Wen.
It was time that brought him fermentation.
It brought him a good reputation and made his work become one of the classics in the history of Chinese film.
And now.
I want to do it at this time so that his box office reputation can improve.
Li Yun can do it.
It means that he did a better job than Jiang Wen in his previous life.
Do more and better than him!
Let me start by letting this movie shine the way it deserves.
Even hotter and brighter light!
"Let's go and let the bullets fly for a while."
The audience at this premiere.
Li Yun, Jiang Wen, Ge You.
Even the makeup was changed back to the makeup style of the crew back then.
Huang Silang, Zhang Mazi, and Master Tang.
The three people have strange shapes.
It really feels like a comedy.
Right now.
In this Let the Bullets Fly movie, his premiere.
There are also many media involved, including various online media.
Now they have to face up to Li Yun's existence.
This emerging director.
His position in the industry.
Now it is very transparent.
Meanwhile, Youku and Tudou, which had their own movie-watching groups for various films, have now ceased operations.
There was no intention of contacting Li Yun at all.
The reason is actually because they are stingy.
When all the major movies were screened offline, they all chose Youku and Tudou.
Li Yun chose to give it to a little-known subculture website.
I packaged all my copyrights and gave them to them.
This made the person in charge of YouTuDu feel that he was being looked down upon.
These two portal websites seem to be isolating Li Yundian and bullying his customers.
Of course, it has no effect on Li Yun.
If I have to say what the biggest impact of this movie-watching experience was.
Then Guoyu is the next person to come.
"Sorry, Lee, I'm a little late."
"It's good that you can come." At this time, Li Yun looked at Liu Qianqian in front of him with tender eyes.
It seems that I can't live without her presence.
"I will definitely not miss the premiere of your movie, even if I'm across the country!"
It turned out that Liu Xixi had gone back to celebrate her biological father's birthday, and after the birthday celebration, she rushed over without stopping.
Although Li Yun said that there was no need to be so hasty.
We can watch the rerun of the movie together.
It’s not just one day where the movie is shown.
But Liu Qianqian said.
It's different.
I promised myself.
I won't miss any of Li Ge's works! "It's so corny, yeah yeah."
The person talking next to me turned out to be Gao Yuanyuan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time. She also came along at this time.
At this moment, her aura was extremely cold, and she looked nothing like the pure girl she used to be.
A woman who is deeply involved in urban dramas.
The impression of a character as a white-collar, highly educated elite.
That is today's Gao Yuanyuan.
"With the beautiful scenery ahead, it's time to discuss love. We should take a broader view and watch the movie that's about to be released!"
Jiang Wen did not hide his little jealousy at all.
Sour.
"You are doing this in front of a bald man like me. Alas, the world is going downhill." Ge You lowered his head and shook it.
The atmosphere here is quite relaxed at this moment.
I still have some confidence in the upcoming movie screenings.
As the main creator, you should have absolute confidence.
