China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 796 Don't look down on others like this

"Don't worry, I will definitely support you." Li Yu agreed readily.

In any case, Li Yu is one of the largest investors in "The Wandering Earth".

The success or failure of the movie is related to his interests, how can he not take it seriously?

After dealing with Li Yu, Guo Fan called Da Tiantian again and invited her as well.

Li Yu and Da Tiantian are both his financial sponsors and his biggest financial sponsors, so they must be invited one-on-one.

Otherwise it would be too disrespectful to the financial sponsor.

These two financial sponsors are the most generous financial sponsors Guo Fan has ever met.

Other investors would require him to go to great lengths to deceive them, until his tongue was almost tied and his throat was about to smoke, but the other party might not be willing to invest in him.

Li Yu and Da Tiantian are different.

He will never forget the scene of his first meeting with Li Yuda.

Having only read the script once, he didn't even have time to use his skills - the dog follows the idiot.

Li Yu and Da Tiantian agreed to invest money in him.

What the hell are these angel investors?

I have to please them. Next time when I don’t have enough money, I will ask Li Yu and Da Tiantian for help.

Making science fiction films is really expensive.

A few days later, the first official promotional video of "The Wandering Earth" was officially released.

The visual effect of the promotional video, which is only two minutes long, is very shocking.

This promotional video is significantly superior to the previous promotional video of "Magic City Fortress".

The grand scenes, special effects, and structure in the trailer can crush "Magic City Fortress" into pieces in seconds.

A Dream That Never Fades: "Just from this trailer, this is the most sci-fi and best domestic sci-fi film so far. I used to think there was no hope for domestic sci-fi films, but after watching this trailer, I have certain expectations for domestic sci-fi films."

Children's Day: "I will watch The Wandering Earth no matter how bad it is, just to support domestic science fiction movies."

Da Pao Kai Xi Hong Te Niang: "The trailer gives people a very amazing feeling. I don't know whether the feature film is good or not, but at least someone dares to try the field of science fiction. Just for this, we must get the support of the cinema."

Monkey King: "Let me remind you all here that Guo Fan has only made two movies, one is a bad movie, and the other is a campus youth movie."

Obsessed Xiaoyu: "Fuck, I heard the investment in this movie reached 500 million. Are the investors and Liu Cixin crazy? They dare to let a director who has never made a science fiction film do it."

Most Chinese people felt inspired after watching this promotional video.

Because this is the first large-scale science fiction blockbuster in China.

If "The Fortress of Demon City" doesn't count, it would be a recognized joke.

Li Yu’s “Ready Player One” doesn’t count either. It used a lot of special effects technology, but the main focus was actually on emotion.

However, there are also many people who sing a different tune, are pessimistic, and find fault.

Wet Paper Plane: "Why is Wu Jing here again? Isn't he beating up mercenaries every day? What? Is he going to be a wolf warrior in space this time?"

Xingdou Qiguang: "This special effect is definitely not made by a domestic company. As far as I know, domestic special effects companies do not have this ability."

I got up early in the morning: "That engine does not conform to scientific logic at all. Can those engines really move the earth? Where does the fuel come from to run for so many years?" There is never a shortage of nitpickers on the Internet, and there are also many people who hate their country and believe that domestic products are the original sin.

Foreign science fiction films hollow out entire planets and use them as weapons, but they don't use scientific perspectives to prove that it's not feasible and it doesn't conform to scientific logic at all.

They would just shout, the special effects are awesome, the movie is great.

As soon as the promotional video of the domestic science fiction film "The Wandering Earth" was released, they immediately turned into experts and began to analyze whether the planetary engine in the movie is feasible. This is very hypocritical.

However, the subsequent performance of "The Wandering Earth" proved that a good movie will always be popular.

The eyes of the masses are sharp, and the silent majority will go to the cinema to support this domestic science fiction blockbuster.

……

On April 4, Li Yu and Da Tiantian came to the premiere of "The Wandering Earth".

As soon as Da Tiantian met Li Yu, she started to complain: "The movie hasn't even been released yet, but there have already been a lot of comments criticizing The Wandering Earth. Isn't this too outrageous? There are also many people who nitpick, saying that the content in The Wandering Earth's promotional video is unreasonable and has no scientific basis. I just don't understand, does a science fiction movie need scientific basis? This is a science fiction movie, just a movie, not a science fiction documentary."

"You'll get used to it. Domestic products are the original sin." Li Yu had a calm expression. He was used to it.

Some people are tolerant of foreign-language films, but it is not a new thing to be harsh on Chinese-language films.

These people criticize "The Wandering Earth" for having no logic, why don't they criticize Hollywood science fiction films for having no logic?
"Iron Man" and those movies by Man Wei also call themselves science fiction films.

In "Iron Man 1", if the cluster missile that Tony Stark launched in a country in Central Asia had been launched earlier, it could have easily defeated the alien creatures and Thanos' army, right?
They refused to do so. Instead of using their missiles, some used shields, some shot arrows, some used submachine guns and pistols, and some even engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Is it reasonable to use advanced technology and fight like primitive humans? No one has ever complained about this.

On the contrary, if someone in China complains about these things, they will definitely be attacked by fans.

Fans of Man Wei will say that it is a superhero movie, a comic book adaptation, etc. In short, it is reasonable. You say it is unreasonable, but you are just wild pigs who cannot appreciate the fine bran.

By the way, Director Fuji also came to attend the premiere of "The Wandering Earth".

After the flop of "Fortress of Devil City", Director Fuji was very dissatisfied.

He sincerely felt that his movie was not that bad, but those people gave his movie a score of 2.something, which was too much.

Fortunately, Director Bi is there to back him up, otherwise if he were to break the record and refresh the lower limit, where would he put his face?

Also, I remember very clearly that he sought cooperation from Li Yu at that time.

Li Yu didn't give him any face at all and refused to cooperate with him. Instead, he turned around and invested in Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth".

In Director Fuji's eyes, isn't this a humiliation to him?

What is Guo Fan? What is he?
Guo Fan is a director who has only made bad movies and campus romance films. In the film industry, he is just a third-tier director and nothing.

Li Yu actually thinks highly of this insignificant little director and doesn't think highly of him. How can he look down on people like that?

His movie "Magic City Fortress" flopped, so he wanted to see how much better Guo Fan, whom Li Yu was optimistic about, could be.

If it's worse than his "Fortress of Devil City", there will be something interesting to watch.

What? A trailer? A good trailer doesn’t mean the movie is good.

A promotional video is only one or two minutes long, and it must have included the essence of the entire movie. Many bad movies’ promotional videos are also very good.

When his promotional video for "Magic City Fortress" was first released, it was praised by the entire network, but didn't it still flop in the end?
