Chapter 561 Love across time and space

""Love Letter" has been scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day, February 2th, as per your request, Director Wu."

"This schedule is actually quite good, very suitable for this kind of romance film."

"The trailer has also been cut and will be released next week."

"We haven't prepared much for the publicity and distribution of "Love Letter" this time, but with Director Wu's own popularity and influence, I believe it will still attract much attention."

Li Xiaoping seriously described the arrangements before the release of "Love Letter".

The production cost of this movie was less than five million, so it was naturally impossible to invest too much money in publicity and distribution.

However, considering Wu Yuan's influence in China, his new movie does not need to spend money on publicity and distribution. As long as the news of the final release is revealed, it will be enough to create a sensation.

Counting the numbers, Wu Yuan's last Chinese-language film was "Gravity" in 2008. It has been more than three years since then, and domestic movie fans have long seen through it.

There is no need for any expensive publicity, but as soon as the news of the new movie's release was leaked, the attention of all netizens on the entire Chinese Internet was attracted.

This has led to the fact that this year’s Spring Festival only has movies such as “A New Couple”, “Crazy Dinner Party”, “It’s Just Kidding” and “Heroes from Ancient Times: Yue Fei”.

"There are not many attractive movies in this year's Spring Festival. Fortunately, director Wu's new film is scheduled for February!"

Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and other Spring Festival hegemons are all absent, and major directors such as Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen have also given up competing for this year's Spring Festival.

There has never been a year when a Hollywood movie played the main theme during the Spring Festival, but this year it did.

However, as some netizens said, "Love Letter" is not suitable for the whole family to watch in the cinema. If it is moved to the Spring Festival period, those viewers who come to the cinema with the whole family will not choose this movie.

Even the most anticipated movie during this year's Spring Festival is actually "Sherlock Holmes 2" from Hollywood, starring Robert Downey Jr.

"Finally, I'm filming a romance film again. I really like "Your Name" so much. You don't have to hesitate for director Wu's romance film, just go for it!"

Just by listening to the names, you can tell that they are all movies that cannot leave the slightest memory in the history of Chinese films.

"'Love Letter'? Iwai Shunji's film is so deeply rooted in people's hearts. Can Director Wu do better?"

The Spring Festival in 2012 can be said to be the most deserted year since the birth of the Spring Festival.

The second most popular one is "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Happy Journey into the Year of the Dragon", a major animated film
Well, there is also "The War" starring Jay Chou and Nicholas Tse, which is probably the third most watched movie during this year's Spring Festival.

"Unfortunately, romantic movies are not suitable for taking parents to the cinema to watch. It would be very embarrassing!"

To be honest, even if "Love Letter" is scheduled to be released in January during the Spring Festival, Wu Yuan feels that he will be quite capable.

“Director Wu’s new Chinese film is finally scheduled!”

"Indeed, this year's Spring Festival has no new films from major directors. It should be the worst Spring Festival in the past ten years. Director Wu is here to save this year's Spring Festival, right?"

"On February 2th, the movie is also called "Love Letter". I seem to already know the content of this movie!"

It’s not that he’s very strong, it’s just that he made so much money during the Spring Festival this year, and it’s all because of his peers.

The Chinese people's unique "conservatism" about love makes it difficult for parents and children to sit together and watch romance movies and comment on the male and female protagonists in the movie holding their heads while chewing.

Only comedies are movies suitable for Chinese families.

"Crazy Dinner" starring Fan Wei, Huang Bo, and Liu Ye, and Yue Yunpeng's debut film "Just Kidding" are suitable movies for the Spring Festival. Sitting in the back seat of the car, Wu Yuan took out his mobile phone and casually scrolled through Weibo.

Now there is an entry for #武元《情书》# on Sina Weibo. If you click on this entry, you can see the poster and plot synopsis of "Love Letter", as well as discussions among netizens.

This poster is carefully designed.

The 16:9 ratio poster is divided into left and right halves.

On the left is a street full of the style of the Republic of China. It is raining in the gloomy sky. Liu Yifei is wearing the clothes of a young lady who has returned from studying abroad. She has a white gauze skirt and a veil. She also wears lace gloves on her hands, holding an umbrella and walking in the rain. .

On the right side of the poster, it was a cloudless sunny day. Wu Yuan was wearing jeans and a shirt, which are the most common modern clothes, and he was walking hurriedly on a lawn.

The two people were walking toward each other face to face, but anyone could tell that they were in different time and space.

Only, a piece of letter paper flying in the air seemed to have traveled through time and space, with half of it falling under the bright sun and the other half falling in the rain, making the two images with distinct time and space intersect.

And at the top of this flying piece of paper is the title of the movie.

""love letter""

"Starring: Wu Yuan, Liu Yifei."

"Director: Wu Yuan"

“On February 2th, let’s talk about a love that travels through time and space!”

The design of this poster will be commonplace 10 years from now, but it is still novel now.

At least it is much better than the colorful posters that are mainstream now, with the silhouettes of all the protagonists stuffed in, seven or eight heads printed on the posters, and then simple and crude slogans written on them.

It needs to have a sense of atmosphere and atmosphere, and it needs to have an artistic atmosphere, and it has a lot of information. Basically, people who have seen the poster can probably guess the content of the movie, and it can arouse curiosity and attention.

Love across time and space is not a new subject.

As early as 2002, there was "Love Through Time", a TV series about a modern female thief who traveled through the early Ming Dynasty and fell in love with Zhu Yunwen.

With the development of Internet literature, time travel has become the most popular subject and the most interesting to young people.

The phenomenal explosion of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and "Gong Lock Heart Jade" completely made this genre popular.

Now Wu Yuan has also played with the concept of "traveling through time and space", which can be regarded as catering to the market and an opportunity to stand on the forefront.

"Just looking at this poster, I'm already looking forward to it. Director Wu will play the male lead!"

"Wow! Sissi's look is like dreaming back to "The Family", but now that Sissi has grown, she is much prettier than in "The Family"!

"It's full of information. Director Wu's hero traveled through a hundred years of time and started a love story with the heroine who was in the Republic of China?"

"But why is the movie called "Love Letters"? Did they communicate across time and space by sending letters?"

"So, is this a love story between two pen pals?"

"Ahhhhh, I'm so looking forward to it. It won't be released for more than half a month. It feels like every day is like a year!"
