Chapter 254 Brother on the front foot, brother on the back foot
"It's a bit stupid to cut open the belly to get powder!"

Li Mu said softly.

"How to say?"

Han Sanping's curiosity also aroused.

"If it were me, I probably wouldn't shoot it like this."

"."

That is to say, the premiere ceremony is now completely dark, otherwise Li Mu would have been killed dozens of times by Han Sanping's eyes. What the hell are you talking about? Don't stop halfway.

Even Liu Yifei couldn't help pinching Li Mu, which was always appetizing.

Han Sanping took a deep breath and continued to ask: "Then how should I shoot?"

"In fact, you don't need to do a dissection to know how many fans there are."

If Han Sanping had a knife at this moment, he might have put the knife on Li Mu's neck right now.

"???" Jiang Wen heard something, and his curiosity aroused, and he shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up and tell me what you are writing on!"

The people in the front row vaguely heard it and looked over.

The audience couldn't see it, but they were still watching the movie intently, chuckling from time to time, especially Jiang Wen's foul language, which made people laugh.

"You can let the jelly shop owner see it with his own eyes!"

"What do you think?"

Han Sanping still didn't understand. He had eaten all the jelly.

"Just look where the jelly is!"

Li Mu's words made Han Sanping shudder suddenly. Good guy, you are planning to put your eyes into your stomach.

"Jiang Wen was just dancing on the tip of a knife when he passed the trial. Why would your shooting method pass the trial, unless the people in the General Administration are all blind."

Han Sanping was annoyed, but when he looked back, he realized that this seemed to be a solution, but if it was shot this way, the movie would not be what it was.

Jiang Wen's eyes lit up. He didn't expect to be able to play like this. He felt that his mind had been opened up.

Feng Xiaogang and Yang Shoucheng were a little curious, but they were too far away, so they could only ask Jiang Wen.

"How cruel!" When Feng Xiaogang heard this solution, he couldn't help but imagine the scene, shook his head quickly, and then said with emotion, "But this screenwriter's skills are really strong."

The movie soon reached its final climax. Jiang Wen and Ge You grabbed the silver and left the city, but were ambushed by Huang Silang. The fault was Ge You. He accidentally hit a landmine and was buried painfully under a pile of silver. Asked Jiang Wen: "Why does my butt hurt so much?"

Jiang Wen pointed to the tree next to him: "Your butt is hanging there."

"Director Jiang filmed this"

Liu Yifei really didn't expect that this movie didn't follow the routine at all, and it was bloody and funny at the same time.

Because of this scene, Ge You became the most miserable character to die in the history of Chinese movies.

"It's not just ridiculous to take a different approach, but not everyone can do it like this."

During the screening of the film, the large audience laughed more than 20 times and applauded several times.

In several climactic scenes, such as "Zhang Mu's Fake Death", "Three Heroes' Banquet at Hongmen", "Rainy Night Brawl" and other scenes, the audience spontaneously applauded for the wonderful plot and dialogue, and laughed almost every 2 minutes, 10 Applause every minute.

"The movie is very successful! But the danger of you being a movie thief is that the gentry will donate first and the people will donate later. After the event is completed, the gentry's money will be returned in full, and the people's money will be divided into [-] and [-]. No one will speak for you, you It’s amazing that this movie can be released!”

Li Mu patted Jiang Wen on the shoulder and complained.

This metaphor is too obvious, and it is also a bit explicit and naked!

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "I'm lucky."

"But don't tell me, I think your suggestion is great. Although the taste will be lost if we take this route, it may be very cool to shoot!"

Jiang Wen recalled Li Mu's previous comments about the scene of dissection of the belly to extract powder.

"Hey, that's a great movie! It's got more box office."

"."

"Director Jiang, this movie is really good." Liu Yifei and Li Mu were still talking about the movie on their way back.

The premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly" was very successful. Jiang Wen deliberately held the premiere a week in advance, just to let the audience of the premiere spread from person to person and make the reputation even louder.

Many movie reviews for that night have already been released.

"Zhang Mazi: I wanted to stand still and make money! Jiang Wen did it!"

Jiang Wen then led the crew to premiere in major cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou.

The audience unanimously gave rave reviews.

There is still some time before the release of "Let the Bullets Fly", but Bona successfully landed on the NASDAQ in the United States on December 12.

This news has stimulated the entire entertainment industry. Going public will make you rich!
Although Bona's valuation is not high, it is better because it is listed on the Nasdaq in the United States. Now Fatty Yu is speaking more forcefully: "Next year we will use US dollars to make domestic films!"

People in the industry still have their eyes set on Mengying Media.

If this big guy can go public, it will definitely squeeze out Huayi, Chengtian Jiahe, and Huace Film and Television, and firmly occupy the position of the leading listed film and television company.

However, to the regret of outside capital and the industry, Mengying Media has no plans to go public yet.

The period blockbuster "Warring States" also joined in the excitement during the Lunar New Year holiday. The film studio also released its 1-minute first trailer, in which several major protagonists appeared one by one. The suspenseful atmosphere shrouded the film in a cloud of murderous suspicion.

Li Mu also watched the trailer, and Jingtian in the movie looks like a saint in ancient costume.
The film studio also announced the schedule, and the film will be released globally in April next year.

The promotion of "The Martian" has slowly begun. Interested netizens have discovered that the official Weibo of "The Martian" has begun to publish information frequently.

Although it is an official Weibo, the Weibo reporting format of "The Martian" is different from the official presentation of traditional media. Instead, it uses today's fashionable Internet ridicule language by publishing some film production updates, interesting stories about actors, movie stills, and forwarding Other bloggers’ classic Weibo and other methods can shorten the distance with potential audiences and pave the way for movie promotion.

"The Weibo account of "The Martian" responded to me and even left me a comment!"

"Hehe, it reposted my Weibo, so happy!"

Many netizens have received replies on the official Weibo of "The Martian", and there are more and more interactions.

This is also one of Mengying Media's main promotion strategies, to build the official Weibo account into an information platform that is "approachable" and often breaks news, so that subsequent netizens will be willing to participate in its word-of-mouth communication.

"The official Weibo account of "The Martian" created by Mengying is very interesting. The people in the company's publicity department are all talented people. Where did you find so many ridiculing words on the Internet!"

Liu Yifei often interacts with people below, and netizens come over from time to time to "capture" her alive.

"Right now, the publicity is not good enough. The movie is not explosive enough. This is just one part of the publicity."

The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, which is the current portrayal.

Now it's just a foreshadowing. Once the Lunar New Year blockbusters have passed their peak, it will be time for overwhelming publicity for "The Martian."

"Let's go and take a look at your "Those Years". The editor has finished the rough cutting. You can follow me during the fine editing."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yifei was even more anxious than Li Mu. She simply cleaned up and took Li Mu to Mengying.In the dream editing room, the editor was playing a rough cut version to the two of them.

The rough editing step is to edit each scene according to scenes and shots, set up the scene according to the original script sequence, check the continuity of the film, and try to restore the director's conception and expressive intention in the process.

The main purpose is to build the structure of the entire film without making very detailed adjustments, such as music, rhythm or even editing points. Instead, focus on the logic of the film and the connection between the front and rear scenes.

The rough cut version takes more than 2 hours to cut, and is usually at least 10%-15% longer than the finished film.

Liu Yifei looked at it very seriously, and even looked back from time to time.

"good!"

Li Mu gave an evaluation after reading the rough cut version.

"I think it's so good that I can't even bear to cut out these scenes!"

Liu Yifei is still a little reluctant to cut off some of her scenes in the upcoming fine editing.

This is also a common problem among many directors, not only new directors, but also old directors. Every shot is a painstaking effort, but in the end it is ruthlessly edited out, which makes it difficult for the filming director to accept it.

At the beginning, Yu Feihong was reluctant to cut any part of "Love Has an Afterlife". In the end, Tsui Hark and others helped her to complete the final cut.

"The footage is meant to be shown to the audience in the end. This version is still a bit delayed. The editing will allow the audience to enjoy it."

"I understand!" Liu Yifei muttered.

"In this way, the finely edited parts will be left as promotional materials, and later used as highlights on media such as Weibo, or as the ending of the movie."

Li Mu rubbed Liu Yifei's little head.

"Well, that's a happy decision then."

Liu Yifei suddenly smiled.

Li Mu returned to the office and found that Ning Hao was holding a script and asked the screenwriter Mengying, looking a little helpless.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu glanced at the script he was holding.

"Xu Zongxin wrote the script." Ning Hao threw it on the table.

""The Lost City" is like the sequel to "The Lost Road"." Li Mu flipped through it casually.

"It's a sequel. Wasn't "The Stand" approved by Huaqi? He collaborated with the screenwriter Yang Qing to write a new script. After he finished writing, he found that Huaqi Film and Television had taken the lead and applied for the script of "Journey on the Road 2" first. It was also very similar to "Unfortunate", so he was so angry that he just threw the script at me."

Li Mu smiled unkindly: "He is also quite dark. He must have been cut off by Huaqi twice in a row."

No one else had the luck to be caught and masturbated by Hua Qi.

"By the way, where are the others? Are you still tinkering with a new script?"

"No, I am so depressed that I am ready to go abroad. I said I am taking my family to relax."

"His story is okay, but it's a pity. Next time if there is a good script, I can ask him to come to me."

"I originally planned to ask me to vote for you this time, but..."

When the scripts are highly similar, whoever declares them in advance is the one who owns them. This can only be blamed on Xu Zheng for being unlucky.

"This year you can be a judge of the Golden Horse and the director commendation conference."

Li Mu suddenly remembered the Cross-Strait and Hong Kong Film Directors Seminar and the 2010 Chinese Film Directors Association Annual Commendation Conference that would be held in the next few days.

"Come on, if you people don't participate, I will go over and make up the numbers. Without you representatives, we don't know what to discuss. You guys accounted for one-third of the domestic box office this year."

This year Li Mu, Zhang Yi, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen and other major directors did not participate.

In the next few days, all kinds of media are full of information about "Let the Bullets Fly."

After Mengying's "33 Days of Love" hit 3.88 million, it has been unable to follow up. There are only a few days left before the movie is released, and there is no hope of breaking 4 million.

However, in this year's domestic movie box office list, it has jumped to the second place. The first place is Huayi's "Earthquake". This movie is a bit heavy. After all, the box office of the box office is estimated to have contributed more than 3 million to it.

The two movies at the beginning of December, "The Orphan of Zhao" had 12 million, and "Laughing in the River" had 1.46 million, and they are still increasing slowly.

On the 16th, "Let the Bullets Fly" was officially released.

"It didn't break the record of "The Great Earthquake"!" Han San commented with some regret.

The first-day box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" came out on the 17th, with 3018 million on the first day, while the first-day box office of "Earthquake" was 3620 million.

People in the industry feel that it will be difficult for "Let the Bullets Fly" to win this year's box office championship.

"Director Han, don't worry, the movie still has to wait and see. I think Mr. Ye and Mr. Chen are regretting it. There are fewer theaters in the theaters. The number of shows has increased significantly today. It's too late to wait for today's box office to compare."

Li Mu received news from several bosses of major theater chains early in the morning.

Dream Cinema has long been fully booked for "Let the Bullets Fly," but the other theaters still have room for growth.

Sure enough, the box office on the second day soared to 4025 million, showing strong growth.

"Hahaha, brother, let me tell you, my movie has the status of being the domestic champion this year, how about it?"

When Jiang heard this, he immediately became angry.

"Take it and talk about it later!"

"waiting"

The next day, pirated resources for "Let the Bullets Fly" appeared on the Internet, and there were links to the pirated copies on Weibo. Jiang Wen was so angry that his feet jumped.

"Brother, we need to work harder to combat piracy against Mengying!"

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh: "You were very dancing yesterday. You can't dance anymore."

"."

However, this piracy also endangered Mengying's interests. Several major film studios joined forces with relevant departments to issue a stern statement and formulated a complete set of plans to combat piracy.

The action was still effective. The gun version online was quickly cleared, which did not affect the box office too much.

"Let the Bullets Fly" sang all the way, surpassing 4 million in two and a half days, and [-] million in four and a half days.
The box office hit was beyond everyone's expectations.

The most surprising thing is that thanks to viral marketing, the national box office on Saturday the 18th exceeded 6000 million, breaking the record of the domestic single-day box office champion "Your Name".

By the way, it also surpassed the record of 1 million set by "Avatar" on January 9. Now it is only beaten by "5760".

Under this trend, breaking the box office record of "Tangshan Earthquake" is just around the corner.

What’s even more rare is that unlike other domestic blockbusters that have received mixed reviews at the box office, “Let the Bullets Fly” was a hit and also won a round of applause.

"Earthquake" can't do this. Anyone with a discerning eye knows how its box office of 6.4 million came from.

Jiang Wen wants to prepare for 6 consecutive jumps and jump directly into the 6 million box office director club.
