It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1221 Is this also a science fiction movie? ? ?
In the huge theater, Guo Fan sat in his seat, just like everyone else, watching the movie "Shanghai Fortress" intently.

At the beginning, he was actually quite looking forward to it, after all, the promotion of this movie was so hot!

Although he is a competitor, if he can really contribute to Chinese science fiction films, he can choose to ignore the bundling marketing operations previously carried out by Teng Huatao.

Anyway, "The Wandering Earth" has already exceeded 50 billion, so he has already let it go.

As a pioneer, it is also possible to lead the "next generation".

After all, only when we work together can we build up the high wall of Chinese science fiction films, instead of being defeated by superhero movies as before.

However... when he actually started watching the finished film of "Shanghai Fortress", he found that he was wrong, and very wrong!
Can this be called a science fiction movie?
Guo Fan actually had not read the original novel of "Shanghai Fortress", but as the movie played, he almost understood what the story was about.

Humans have discovered a mysterious energy source in outer space, which is really exciting! But aliens have discovered it and are coming to steal it.

Aliens have previously accurately blown up several major cities in the world, and the Magic City is the last fortress in the world, so defending the Magic City is to defend the entire world.

Then the main defense system of the Demon City is a huge AT force field, which shares the same energy system with the Demon City cannon at the bottom of the Huangpu River. If one is activated, the other cannot be activated. It is a bit like "If I don't have a sword in my hand, I can't protect you. If I keep holding the sword, I can't hold you tight."

Then the protagonist Lu Han made a handsome appearance and showed off his drone skills.

In fact, there are still quite a few science fiction elements here, but with the appearance of "Commander" Shu Qi, the situation suddenly began to change!

Shu Qi was inexplicably celebrating her birthday, and Lu Han was about to send her flowers, but in the end her love rival snatched the flowers away.

Then he leaned there in disappointment, and began to feel sad...

After seeing this, Guo Fan finally understood why those "reeds" did not support this movie.

With Shu Qi's appearance and wrinkles all over his face, how can he be a couple with Lu Han?
Then after a short period of daily life, a particularly strong alien came!
The army began to use submachine guns and small pistols to wildly attack the invulnerable aliens, but the aliens could beat more than 20 of our soldiers without taking a breath!
The protagonist Lu Han was slacking off at the train station and even played the role of a hero saving a beauty. In the end, it was those powerful artillery that defeated the aliens, and Lu Han and the army had nothing to do with it at all.

Guo Fan: “???”

So what does this paragraph mean? Hakimi?!
The next second, the camera turned to the command center.

The command center was like a piece of paper, and was attacked by aliens three times in just one and a half hours.

Then an American said to fire the Magic City cannon, but the commander said not to fire it. However, Lu Han’s rival, who was in charge of the cannon, said to fire it... and then he fired it.

When the alien mothership saw the cannons firing, it quickly slipped away.

Afterwards, the war seemed to be won, and all kinds of daily life came back to life.

Lu Han finally found an opportunity and started texting Shu Qi to ask her out.

Perhaps to ease the awkwardness, during the date, Shu Qi suddenly introduced himself, and he was moved to tears, while Lu Han had a blank expression and showed no concern at all, just like an engineer who really came to repair the equipment, very dedicated, and it didn't feel like a date at all...

Then the aliens came again!

Lu Han suddenly got some help and successfully discovered the aliens' conspiracy. It turned out that they wanted to lure the cannon to fire, resulting in insufficient energy supply to the AT force field.

After solving the alien conspiracy, he was promoted and then went to a bar.

Maybe this paragraph is intended to describe the life of citizens in a doomsday scenario. However, Guo Fan did not see any doomsday feeling in the movie at all, because the citizens were just like normal, eating noodles as usual, going to bars as usual, and there was no feeling of lack of supplies.

This is really weird. Compared with the tense atmosphere of "The Wandering Earth", they are completely two different concepts.

Finally, the aliens came again, and the decisive battle finally began!

After a fierce fight, Lu Han was the only one left.

He was shouting, "Fire!" But the commander said the guidance system was broken and he couldn't aim accurately.

Seeing this scene, Guo Fan was already cursing in his heart!

With such a big gun, and the entire Lujiazui is covered with motherships, wouldn't it be killed instantly with just one shot? What's the point of having a guidance system?
However, at this time, Lu Han said: "You lock me! I fly towards the mothership! You hit me!"

Maybe this cannon has a special program that is designed to attack its own people. In any case, although it cannot aim at the mother ship, it can miraculously aim at Lu Han, which is as small as a mosquito.

In the sky, Lu Han shouted, "Fire at me!"

Guo Fan suppressed his embarrassment, wanting to see what would happen after the Shanghai cannon blew up the alien mothership.

But in the end, all that appeared in his eyes was a ball of fire and the crudely made images of high-rise buildings shaking like a 50-cent special effect.

Then, the subtitles suddenly showed five years later!
The Magic City that was said to be sinking seemed to be fine. The water in the collapsed Huangpu River seemed exceptionally clear. And Lu Han, who had survived for some reason, had become the commander!
He opened a box and took out a mobile phone that looked very much like a Nokia.

However, he actually sent out the love confession text message that he didn't dare to send five years ago.

Then, the dead Shu Qi actually replied with two words: "Received?!"

Then Lu Han replied: "Sleep well, good night."

I don’t know how the living and the dead can communicate with each other, but Guo Fan feels it is quite magical.

This is the end of the play.

Of course there are easter eggs, such as in an empty classroom, Shu Qi instructs Lu Han to fill out his application form, and Lu Han drops something at the train station and a kind-hearted citizen, Mr. Jiang, picks it up for him. It looks very casual, or simply messy.

It was not until Teng Huatao led the main creative team to the stage and announced that the creation of "Shanghai Fortress 2" was on the agenda that Guo Fan suddenly came to his senses!

This kind of crappy movie actually has a second part?

Are you kidding me? !
"Clap clap-"

I don’t know whether the people around me were sincere or not, but there was applause, and it was very loud.

Guo Fan just felt dizzy.

He didn't even know how he left the screening room. He only knew that when he was fully awake, he was already on the car back to the company.

As for the movie clips just now, the only thing that impressed him was Lu Han's words: "Fire at me!"

Jingle Bell--

The phone suddenly rang at this moment.

Guo Fan looked down at the caller ID and pressed the answer button: "Hello? Director Chen?"

On the other side of the phone, Chen Fei, who was waiting for Liu Yifei to try on clothes in the mall, asked with a smile: "I saw a report online that the premiere of Shanghai Fortress is over? How was it? Was it good?"

This question completely confused Guo Fan.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Overall, it's not that bad, it just feels like the logic is fragmented and the storyline doesn't make sense.

Although it is a love story, there is no chemistry between the male and female protagonists, and it feels quite funny.

It's a bit like the comedy of a human hiding in a corner, secretly stretching out his feet, and directly tripping a 20-meter-tall alien..."

At this point, Guo Fan finally couldn't help but shout "Fuck!"
He suddenly felt that Teng Huatao could develop in the direction of comedy films in the future; this guy definitely had talent in this area!
"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Fei almost burst out laughing!
If there weren't so many people in the mall, and if he laughed too loudly he would be considered a fool, he would definitely hold his stomach and be unable to straighten his back for a long time!

"What about the special effects? How are the special effects?"

"It's a little better than 50 cents. It's not even worthy of carrying shoes for The Wandering Earth."

This is Guo Fan’s true evaluation, without any falsehood.

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Feile's shoulders were shaking wildly, as if he had epilepsy.

Fortunately, he walked into a corner and there was no one around or any camera watching him, otherwise someone would definitely call 120 for him!

After chatting for a while, when Chen Fei saw Liu Yifei coming out of the fitting room, he quickly hung up the call and went to meet her.

Today, in addition to being a bag-carrying boy, he is also the female star's personal bodyguard, so he has to protect Miss Liu. "How is it? Does it look good?"

Seeing Fade Chen coming over, Liu Yifei opened her arms and turned around in front of him with a smile.

She wore a white short knotted T-shirt on the upper body and blue jeans on the lower body. The overall style seemed casual and casual, yet fashionable.

Of course, the most important thing is that face is really punchable!

Even the old-fashioned bright red down jacket can look fashionable on her, not to mention this kind of casual clothing, which makes her look even more playful.

"Not bad, very good! At 18 years old, wearing this outfit makes me look two years younger, like I'm back to when I was 16 and just debuted..."

Chen Fei blew out a series of flattery, which made Liu Yifei giggle.

"Go and pay!" Miss Liu reached into her bag and took out a gold card. "I'll use my supplementary gold card to pay for you. I'll also buy you an LV belt and tie."

"Okay, my wife is generous."

Chen Fei happily took the gold card and started spending money!
After paying, they took a photo with the salesperson and went straight to a nearby lMAX cinema.

They are planning to donate two movie tickets to the latest imported animated film "Frozen 4: Mirror World".

At the same time, the press release about the premiere of "Shanghai Fortress" was also released by the media and marketing accounts.

"This morning, the movie "Shanghai Fortress" held its premiere in Beijing. Director Teng Huatao, original author and co-screenwriter Jiang Nan, producer Wang Chen, leading actors Lu Han and Shu Qi, and starring actors Shi Liang, Wang Gongliang, Wang Sen, Sun Jialing and others all appeared."

"After watching the movie, many viewers said that the scene of Shanghai Fortress fighting against alien civilizations at home was really exciting! Especially when the 'Shanghai Cannon' rose from the Huangpu River and the entire city 'sank' below the surface... These unprecedented scenes made everyone feel the sincerity of this domestic science fiction movie."

"The director of The Wandering Earth, Guo Fan, came in person to cheer for Shanghai Fortress. The spirit of passing on the torch of Chinese science fiction and moving forward together is very touching!"

"China Film Group Chairman La Peikang made a bold statement at the scene: 60 billion! Shanghai Fortress can also do it!"

"Teng Huatao shed tears on the set, saying that it was worth it to let the audience see the wonders of Chinese cities in a domestic film.

Six years is just like a primary school period. Now we have handed in our primary school graduation papers. We also hope that this new attempt at Chinese science fiction films can accumulate experience for everyone!"

With a large number of premiere press releases, the popularity of this movie naturally continued to rise.

The next day, the pre-sale box office soared by 2000 million!
But what was strange to many netizens who were unable to attend the premiere was that the movie premiere had clearly ended, but there was not much discussion about the movie online.

Especially on Douban, there are very few discussions about this movie.

Even when it does appear occasionally, it’s all filled with praise and flattery.

This situation undoubtedly made many viewers feel that something was wrong.

"What's going on? Are the film producers controlling the reviews?"

"It feels a little weird. With the movie so popular, why is no one discussing the plot? Where are all the netizens who attended the premiere?"

"Uh~ All the people attending the premiere were media and industry guests. The film company didn't invite any audiences at all. They said they wanted to create a sense of mystery."

"There must be some audience members who attended the preview, right? Can you come out and tell us about it?"

"Lu Han is the most handsome! My Lu is awesome!"

"..."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the annual Qixi Festival.

If it were in previous years, various romance movies would have already started marketing, but not this year.

There is no other reason, it’s just that no one wants to compete with the three movies "The Wandering Earth", "The Bravest" and "Shanghai Fortress".

And another point is that many people were really cheated by the movie "The Last Night on Earth" which was released on New Year's Day this year.

Under such circumstances, people will naturally pay less attention to the Qixi Festival period.

What's more, many film and television companies are currently busy dealing with their own financial problems. How can they have the time to do any marketing?

"Bona has been really unlucky recently. The IPO was about to enter the review stage, but unexpectedly there was a problem with the auditing agency. Haha, Yu Dong has been like an ant on a hot pot these days, jumping around everywhere..."

Chen Fei was not too surprised by Ren Zhonglun's sudden visit.

But Chen Fei was very curious about what he said, "Tell me in detail, what happened?"

Ren Zhonglun took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "Ruihua Accounting Firm was investigated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission some time ago because of the Kangdexin false profit incident. Did you know this?"

"know."

Chen Fei had paid attention to this matter before. Kangdexin inflated the amount of fraud by as much as 119 billion yuan, which really screwed over the shareholders.

"Bona's auditing agency is Ruihua Certified Public Accountants. Now that the firm is under investigation, Yu Dabo's IPO was directly rejected and the listing review was terminated."

Hearing this, Fade Chen was immediately happy: "This guy is really unlucky, isn't he?"

"Who says it's not true? It's been several years since he withdrew from U.S. stocks, but he still can't get into A-shares. He can't make money even if he wants. He's almost going crazy, haha."

Bona has now become the third joke in the industry after LeTV and Huayi.

It was the summer movie "The Bravest" that made it a little popular, otherwise Bona's production business would have almost fallen to the second tier.

If it weren't for the support of Poly Cinemas, Bona would have collapsed long ago.

After chatting about the mountains for a while, Chen Fei asked Ren Zhonglun about the purpose of coming to the mainland.

"I actually don't know. The bureau called me here and told me that there will be a very important meeting next month and asked me to prepare in advance."

next month?
Fade Chen was slightly stunned, and looked at him in surprise. "Today is only August 8th, it's still a long way to next month, right? Is it necessary for you to come here so early to prepare?"

"Oh, no, I came here early for the promotion of The Climbers. Isn't the National Day holiday coming soon?"

"I see..." Chen Fei's eyes turned slightly and he suddenly reacted.

I have been paying attention to "The Wandering Earth" these days and almost forgot about "The Captain".

The latter is about to start its official publicity sprint.

~

After a night, it was October 8nd.

Early in the morning, a large number of promotional releases about "My Motherland and I" suddenly appeared on the Internet, which was really dazzling!
"This morning, the highly anticipated theme movie "My Motherland and I" officially wrapped up! This film was created by many top domestic directors and features an ultra-luxury cast.

From the founding ceremony to the return of Hong Kong, from the successful explosion of the first atomic bomb to the Olympic Games, the film connects the glorious journey of the 70 years since the founding of New China from the perspective of ordinary people through seven touching stories!

During the filming period, the crew overcame numerous difficulties, traveled to many locations to shoot, and strived to restore the historical scenes.

At the end of the filming, the main creative team expressed their reluctance and emotion for this creative experience. They believe that after the movie is released, it will allow the audience to re-experience those unforgettable historical moments and inspire strong patriotic feelings..."

"The official Weibo account of "My Motherland and I" released the first trailer and announced that the film will be officially released in domestic theaters on September 9 to compete in the National Day box office!"

coming!

The first film in the “Me and My” movie series is coming in a grand manner!

However, unlike others who were shocked by the "luxurious" creative team of this movie, Chen Fei was not too surprised.

Instead, he was looking forward to the movie "Shanghai Fortress" which would be released in a dozen hours.

Teng Huatao spent six years honing his sword, four years less than Bi Zhifei.

I don't know how sharp this sword is. Can it "cut" enough box office?
