Chapter 535: It's a good shot. Don't shoot it next time.
A man stays young until he dies.
This sentence is actually very suitable for Guo Han as well.
Because the first half of the movie "One Life" has a really strong sense of "youth", the playmates who graduated from junior high school, at that time, no one was rich, but their spiritual world was rich.
They have not started a family or started a career, have not suffered from the harsh treatment of society, and have no plans for the future. They basically spend whatever they earn at work, or live a carefree life at school.
Seventeen or eighteen years old, or twenty-five or twenty-six years old, are the best years of life. Even if you are married, you don’t actually have any plans for the future for the time being.
After all, I always feel that I haven't grown up.
The young man is full of vigor and vitality.
Many people who watched this plot were indeed reminded of their youth and their childhood playmates.
At that time, everyone really didn’t make much money, and everyone was not doing very well, but everyone was happy and blessed.
When we reach middle age, although we may have built a small family on our own, with a car, a house, and better food, drink, and clothing than before, we are no longer happy.
The screenwriter of "One Life" is not just Guo Han, but also Yan Dapeng, a well-known screenwriter in the industry. Compared with Guo Han, Yan Dapeng is good at writing films with a sense of the times.
The two people joining forces can be said to be a powerful combination.
Guo Han has no problem writing some painful literature or some literary love scripts, but how can you ask Guo Han to write a script that is contemporary and down-to-earth? ?
After all, Guo Han is only 43 years old. He can write about his junior high school and high school years, but if he wants to go back ten or even twenty years, he will not be able to write about them.
Just like that, Guo Han is extremely self-aware. He basically handed over the entire script to Yan Dapeng, and the chief screenwriter of "One Life" is actually Yan Dapeng.
So far, this movie is really good.
The powerful combination of Guo Han and Yan Dapeng truly achieved 1 plus 1 being greater than 2.
After the movie ended, Guo Han and a group of main creators came to the stage.
Originally, when the trailer for the movie "One Life" was released, everyone thought it would be a drama starring a male and female lead.
The male and female protagonists' role means that 70 to 80 percent of the plot is driven by the male and female protagonists.
This is actually very normal in the film industry.
After all, movies are not TV series. A movie is usually about 2 hours long. Of course, some long movies can be as long as 3 hours, but generally speaking, movies of this length will basically make the audience sleepy.
Unless you don't pee at any point during the entire ride, even if you do, after sitting for three hours without any peeing, everyone will get tired.
For this reason, in the film industry, group drama is indeed quite difficult and is generally not done.
But what no one expected was that "One Life" was actually a group portrait drama.
The whole movie focuses on five protagonists. The roles of these five protagonists can be said to be comparable, and the most important thing is that the acting skills of several actors are quite good.
As a result, it naturally received a good response.
Of course, the scenes of the five protagonists when they were young, that is, junior high school and high school, were all played by young actors.
It is true that he is a traffic artist, but he also has a certain amount of traffic, and he did not fall behind in this movie.
In this way, this movie will probably become one of the biggest dark horses.
Previously, there wasn’t much discussion about Guo Han’s movies during the Lunar New Year period, because everyone thought that Bai Suzhen, Yu Xiaoshu and Chen Feng were the main characters.
After all, the Lunar New Year box office cake is so big, so someone has to be the cannon fodder.
There is no doubt that a movie like "Blind Date" will be cannon fodder. Of course, for a movie like "Blind Date", it doesn't care whether it is cannon fodder or not. After all, the requirements for its movies are not high.
But in a movie like Guo Han's, if he really became a cannon fodder, then it would be a bit unacceptable.
The production cost of "One World" is actually not low, not to mention that a lot of money has been spent on publicity and promotion.
Why is "One World" so anxious to advance the premiere?
The reason is simple.
The decisive battle has already started in advance, so of course they can't be late.
In short, the movie "One Life" actually has a relatively high stakes.
Needless to say, Tiger Star Films really feels like they are risking everything.
It’s not that no one has been pessimistic about Guo Han’s “One Life” before.
For many people, Guo Han is talented, but his art is becoming more and more profound. Many times, some people feel that Guo Han has gone a little too far.
In such a situation, is Guo Han's film still trustworthy???
So, while the other people in "One World" were waiting and watching, Tiger Star Films made a quick decision after reading the script.
That is, no matter what, we must, must make this movie.
Therefore, Huxing Film and Television directly invested all of it. This movie was jointly invested by Huxing Film and Guo Han Studio, and no one else was involved.
From this aspect, we can also see the gambling nature of Tiger Star Films.
Of course, there is no way around this.
Things have come to this point. Tiger Star Films has not made any progress in the past few years. If they don't try their luck, they will probably be swallowed up by others.
Now.
As the vice president of Tiger Star Films and a strong supporter of this film, Lei Ming was very excited.
The reaction at the premiere said it all.
This movie really looks like it could work.
Guo Han first expressed his gratitude to everyone.
That's right.
He expressed his gratitude to the guests present and thanked everyone for their support for the film. Then, Guo Han talked about some of his thoughts on the film "One Life".
"During the Lunar New Year, I hope that this film, One Life, can bring some warmth to everyone and make everyone appreciate the people around them more."
Guo Han smiled and said: "A person's life is actually only a few decades long. Many times, you feel that the present is difficult and you can't endure it, but when you endure it, you will find that everything is not a problem. This movie is not only about the life of five people, but also hopes to bring some shadows to everyone..."
Obviously, Guo Han does have a bit of artistic style.
Next are some speeches from the guests.
Yao Qing took the microphone and said in the audience: "This movie is good. Dapeng's script is very well written. I haven't seen such a tear-jerking and thought-provoking movie on the big screen for a long time..."
kindness.
This was all arranged in advance.
For those who come to the premiere, of course some arrangements have to be made for them.
Yao Qing had arranged to speak in advance.
Apart from Yao Qing, there is Yu Xiaoshu.
Guo Han had said before that he hoped Yu Xiaoshu would say a few words.
But Yu Xiaoshu wondered if Guo Han did this on purpose?
After all, no matter what, he and Yao Qing don't get along.
Of course, that’s not a big deal.
Didn’t you see that Yao Qing just said very generously that "The Wandering Earth" is also good?
Finally, Yao Qing hopes that the Lunar New Year box office will get better and better.
Chinese filmmakers can unite, have less infighting and more cooperation, and work together to make better Chinese films.
And do better and better.
Yao Qing made a very good point about this.
In recent years, China's film market has actually been bleak. Even during the Lunar New Year period, the box office has gradually shrunk.
Although it has something to do with the ticket price, doesn’t it also have something to do with the quality of the movie? ?
People feel that movies nowadays are not worth watching.
This is the most critical point.
This year's Lunar New Year holiday is a rare opportunity.
It’s not wrong to say that it’s the strongest Lunar New Year blockbuster.
You should know that there are a total of 10 movies in this year's Lunar New Year period, and except for "Blind Date", which looks like a web movie, the other movies are quite strong.
None of the 9 films are weak.
At this time, with 10 movies put together, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the strongest Lunar New Year box office.
Moreover, the two movies "The Wandering Earth" and "Rescue" have been previewed and premiered one after another. The reputation of these two science fiction movies is extremely good, and many people have even said that this will be the revival of science fiction movies.
That's right.
People have already started discussing whether "The Wandering Earth" or "The Rescue" is the sci-fi revival? ?
What does this prove?
This proves that there is no problem with the reputation of these two films.
Although Yao Qing did not watch "The Wandering Earth" and "The Rescue", he watched everyone's discussions and industry reports.
If these two films were really bad movies, then the industry would not have reported it this way.
Now with the addition of "One Life", the quality of these three films is rare.
Not to mention Chen Feng's movie.
In this case, the quality of the four films does not need to be considered at all.
Therefore, it is not wrong to say that this is the strongest Lunar New Year box office.
Yao Qing's speech was quite well-structured in the end.
Next up is Yu Xiaoshu.
It is said that if someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard.
Yu Xiaoshu also gave a very high evaluation of "One World". Not only did he give a very high evaluation, he even felt that "One World" displayed the human world vividly.
Previous urban films always focused on white-collar workers, but showed less of them than ordinary people and the working class.
The most important thing is that it is not down to earth at all.
We have said before that today's movies are all about love, love, and more love.
But this is not the case with "One World".
He uses the life stories of five young men to show us the lives of ordinary people.
For ordinary people, there is often no cost of trial and error in their lives.
Sometimes, one wrong step leads to all wrong steps.
This can be seen from the reactions of many people at the premiere.
Everyone has been involved.
This is not surprising.
Yu Xiaoshu then said: "I agree with Director Yao. I hope that all Chinese filmmakers can unite, and then we can make better and better films, make our own Chinese films, and then go abroad."
kindness.
Yao Qing hopes that everyone can make good Chinese films so that they won’t be beaten so badly by foreign films.
Then, Yu Xiaoshu raised this goal again.
He said he wanted to go abroad.
What this means is that we have to make our own movies and then go abroad to fight them.
Good job.
This suddenly expanded the situation even further.
After Yu Xiaoshu finished his speech, other artists also spoke a little.
These are promotional materials.
In the end, the official will edit some of them and then add the opinions of someone after watching the premiere of "One Life".
This is also considered normal publicity.
There's nothing surprising.
After the premiere, some people left, but others had dinner together.
These people are considered the best in the industry.
Yu Xiaoshu naturally stayed, and not only Yu Xiaoshu, but several other directors also stayed.
Then what’s interesting is that Yu Xiaoshu is sitting at the table next to Bai Suzhen.
Fortunately, Su Qing had left.
Otherwise, Su Qing would definitely have a fight with Bai Suzhen.
"Didn't you say you won't go back to your ex? I saw that was Su Qing just now, haha, I didn't expect that."
Bai Suzhen spoke to Yu Xiaoshu in a sarcastic tone.
Yu Xiaoshu didn't even want to pay attention to this.
Maybe Bai Suzhen learned a lot abroad and also learned the straightforwardness of foreigners, but his low emotional intelligence has never changed.
Many times, Bai Suzhen will never give people face.
There was also a reason why the original owner and Bai Suzhen broke up in the first place.
But that was not the case in Bai Suzhen's eyes. In Bai Suzhen's eyes, she had tolerated Yu Xiaoshu a lot.
You say, can the two of them not break up?
Bai Suzhen originally thought that the original owner would be sad for a while like herself after the breakup.
Unexpectedly, he and Su Qing got together seamlessly.
Oh.
This scumbag.
There is no good thing about men.
Because of this, Bai Suzhen really hated Yu Xiaoshu more and more.
Yu Xiaoshu didn't take these things to heart.
After all, what does it have to do with Yu Xiaoshu?
At this time, Guo Han came over on his own initiative.
He seemed to be in a good mood. After all, the premiere was a great success, and it seemed that the word of mouth was also good.
However, when he looked at Zhou Ming, who had a depressed look on his face, he was slightly stunned.
"Lao Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Guo Han looked at Zhou Ming and asked.
Zhou Ming was indeed very depressed at this time, and not just depressed, his mentality was a little broken.
Because today is not only the premiere of "One Life", but also the release day of "Old Li's New Year".
But just now, "Old Li Celebrates the New Year" has been screened twice, and the feedback from these two screenings is not very good.
Everyone said: "The filming of "Old Li's New Year" is very good, please don't film it next time."
Unexpectedly, the reputation of "Old Li Celebrates the New Year" collapsed again this time.
Why say again?
Because the last one collapsed.
