Lin Yuan is indeed not a sports fan.
Even at the Blue Games held every four years, he only watched for half an hour before losing interest.
The rules were not fully understood.
However, when the Qinzhou women's volleyball team defeated Chuzhou and successfully advanced, Lin Yuan was still very happy.
This is probably his natural sense of belonging to Qinzhou.
Just at this moment.
Lao Zhou suddenly ran over.
Gu Dong wanted to make tea for Lao Zhou, but Lao Zhou waved his hand and found a box of tea in the third cabinet on the right side of the office. Then he smiled happily: "I knew there was a box of top-quality Pu'er here."
Gu Dong: “…”
How come you are so skilled
Lao Zhou often visits Lin Yuan, and he even knows exactly where all the different teas are stored here, just like his own home. However, he is not here to drink tea today:
"Our movie has recently started promotion."
He said to Lin Yuan while making tea for himself.
As soon as Lin Yuan heard it, he knew which movie Lao Zhou was referring to.
He currently has only one movie that has not been released, "Life of Pi"!
This movie has indeed been delayed for too long.
Although this movie has high special effects requirements and a long production cycle, it is actually not as long as it is now.
It’s purely because the company hasn’t found a suitable release date, and has been discussing scheduling with theaters and other miscellaneous reasons.
There are many aspects involved in the release of a movie.
Hearing this news, Lin Yuan was still quite looking forward to it:
"Has the release date been confirmed?"
"Ten days later, the cinemas have a good schedule for the film. The promotion has already started some time ago. Our film has a wide coverage. Considering that there are so many different types of films on the market now, and there is news about the Blue Games everywhere recently, we don't need to make a big promotion. The normal promotion standards will be enough."
"good."
Lin Yuan asked: "What should I do?"
Lao Zhou said: "There is nothing to do, just cooperate with the blog to promote it. The blog has made great efforts to maintain a good cooperative relationship with us. As for the tribe, we did not reach an agreement on the terms and ultimately failed to reach a cooperation."
"The tribe..."
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Old Zhou curled his lips: "The tribe's relationship with us is not good now. There are a lot of problems when discussing business. The chairman was irritated by them and finally ignored them. Anyway, Blue Star will still turn around without anyone!"
“It’s my fault.”
Lin Yuan knew why the tribe was not cooperating.
After all, this "Life of Pi" was a movie that he wrote and invested in, and he had publicly stated that he would no longer cooperate with the tribe, and the two sides had a grudge against each other.
With its own background, the tribe must have its own ideas.
This is normal.
Even if "Life of Pi" is not just the work of Lin Yuan alone, but also the result of the efforts of the entire team behind the scenes, it is useless.
No matter how wide the scope is, they will also try to put on some eye drops.
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to blame yourself."
Lao Zhou casually said, "The tribe won't accept it, but other platforms are willing to accept it. It's nothing more than some commercial publicity. There are so many publicity channels, it doesn't matter whether they are there or not."
Lin Yuan didn't say anything.
He knew that Lao Zhou was trying to comfort himself, and the reality was not as easy as he said.
Tribe is the social platform with the largest number of users at present.
The poor relationship with the tribe caused many inconveniences to Xingmang.
It seems that I need to help attract more users to the blog.
This thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind. No one likes the feeling of being controlled by others.
Although it is impossible to directly defeat a giant capital like the Tribe, it is not difficult to help Blog defeat the Tribe and seize part of the Tribe's market. After all, Lin Yuan himself is a shareholder of Blog.
In fact.
With the help of three good friends, the blog’s situation is much better now when facing the tribe.
These changes are invisible.
Only by paying attention to the changes in blog traffic every day can you discover the impact.
As for the movie "Life of Pi", it is indeed time for it to be released.
Lin Yuan has not forgotten that he was ignored by the Shenlong Award.
He is going to conquer the Shenlong Award with this movie!
If it is not released this year, it will be delayed to the end of the year, which is the Spring Festival period, and a bunch of high-investment movies will emerge on the market.
The competition is too fierce.
The Spring Festival period has always been a time when the market is most volatile, with too many uncertain factors.
Lin Yuan was not completely sure.
This "Life of Pi" is indeed not the kind of orthodox work where you can just kill people at will. It still requires some attention to the deployment of troops.
It’s even worse to postpone it until next year.
Because the movies released next year have to participate in the Shenlong Awards the year after, and there will be no waiting after the deadline, not to mention that this movie is related to a certain system task.
"You should have some ideas about the Shenlong Award, right?"
Lao Zhou did not continue talking about the tribe, but mentioned the Dragon Award.
Who among Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan and Han doesn’t know about Xianyu and the Shenlong Award
Something like "The biggest award Xianyu has ever won at the Shenlong Awards is Best Music".
Something like "No one can beat Xianyu in music and movies."
The previous sentence is true.
The latter sentence is a joke about the fact that Xianyu has been a runner-up in the Shenlong Awards many times over the years.
If we really compare word of mouth, Xianyu's movies and the lowest-rated "Spider-Man" on Star Network are far superior to movies of the same type.
Moreover, none of the movies he wrote had bad box office results. They all made huge profits with low costs, so much so that people in the industry have an inherent impression that Xianyu is good at making big profits with small investments.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nodded and did not deny it.
He really wanted to achieve something in the Shenlong Award.
The memes and jokes on the Internet did make him a little depressed, and he even got angry about it, and he was furious.
But the real reason is that he has a related system task.
Yes.
The system task is very clear. As long as you can get the Dragon Award, you can get a treasure chest. The reputation value provided is also very attractive. If nothing unexpected happens, the bigger the award, the higher the reputation value.
"really."
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "In fact, I originally thought that even without this special movie, you could still win something at the Shenlong Awards next year. The Truman Show is really a work that deserves Shenlong to bow down to. It's a pity that the art film market is too lively this year, and you have a lot of competitors, especially Qizhou's art film..."
Lin Yuan asked: "Qizhou, Nightfall?"
Lao Zhou nodded: "It seems you know this movie."
At the beginning of the year, netizens were making fun of the fact that Xianyu had repeatedly been a runner-up in the Shenlong Awards, which made Lin Yuan so angry that he immediately asked the company to quickly arrange for the release of "The Truman Show".
After the movie was released, the audience response was huge!
Everyone thinks that this movie will definitely win some heavyweight awards at the Shenlong Awards, and Xianyu will officially break the embarrassing situation of repeatedly being a runner-up at the Shenlong Awards and failing to win any heavyweight awards.
However…
Just in May of this year, an art film from Qizhou suddenly broke out.
That movie is called "Nightfall".
After watching the movie, the audience was dumbfounded. It was obvious that "The Truman Show" had met a strong rival!
The movie "Nightfall" has received such high praise from the industry!
It can definitely compete with Xianyu's "The Truman Show"!
There is even a high probability that Xianyu will fail again in the Shenlong Award!
Because "The Truman Show" contains many elements of feature films.
Although the plot of "Nightfall" is not very strong, the literary and artistic atmosphere is more intense!
Judging from the tastes and standards of the Golden Dragon Award Selection Committee over the years, a movie like "Nightfall" seems to be more to the taste of that group of judges!
As a part-time filmmaker, Lin Yuan certainly knew the movie "Nightfall".
He still pays some attention to the film market.
He would be curious about when a hit movie came out, and would even go to the cinema with his family to watch it.
Including the critically acclaimed "Nightfall".
As a result, we have to admit that "Nightfall" is indeed a very good art film. The various metaphors can be interpreted from different angles and are very meaningful.
Very insightful and thoughtful.
If he came across "The Truman Show", it might indeed have the effect of sniping Lin Yuan, causing him to miss the heavyweight award in the end.
You know.
In its previous life, "The Truman Show" was not outstanding in terms of awards won, because the year the film was released happened to be a time when many awards were given out.
If you are interested, you can check how many masterpieces were released that year.
It’s the time and the fate.
There are still many top artists on Blue Star.
Old Zhou laughed a little cunningly: "But none of them could have imagined that you had two cards prepared, and the movie "The Truman Show" at the beginning of the year was just one of them."
Yes.
Lin Yuan prepared two hands of cards!
This "Life of Pi" is also an art film!
An art film that won the Oscar for Best Director for Chinese director Ang Lee!
Than metaphor
How many movies could have more metaphors than this one
Than interpretation
Is it a joke that "Life of Pi" has been interpreted in countless versions by millions of people and even caused massive controversy
This is a movie tailor-made for winning awards!
Lin Yuan is determined to win the Shenlong Award, a heavyweight award!
Besides, even if we only watch "The Truman Show", it is not certain who will win. Taste is the most mysterious thing.
Truman on the left hand and Life of Pi on the right hand.
Double insurance.
After discussing the movie with Lao Zhou, Lin Yuan logged into his blog account.
Just as Lao Zhou said.
There has been some publicity about Life of Pi on blogs, but the influence has not yet spread.
"Forward."
Lin Yuan forwarded the promotion and attached a more official slogan:
"The new movie is coming out soon, please stay tuned."
There is no need for him to say too much nonsense, as the publicity has already given some introduction to the movie.
The new movie "Life of Pi" written by Xianyu is about to be released.
Did you know that he survived with a tiger on the vast ocean for 229 days!
The survival challenge of wandering on the sea: the unforgettable story between Pi and the tiger!
The most expensive work written by Xianyu has been born: a fantasy masterpiece that will shock your heart!
…
Sea survival challenge!
This is the ostensible theme of the film.
In fact, there are deeper themes in this movie, but it is impossible to say it directly in the publicity.
You can't just say in the promotion how many metaphors this movie has...
This thing only makes sense if the audience discovers it themselves in the movie, otherwise the sense of surprise will be lost.
And when Xianyu also started promoting the movie, it finally attracted the attention of the audience on a large scale!
The comment section became lively:
"Survival at Sea? Not interested. What? Fish Dad's movie? Yeah, Survival at Sea, sounds interesting."
“Hahahaha, what’s upstairs is so real!”
"It seems that Yu Dad has completely given up on the Shenlong Award. The new movie is not an art film!"
"Isn't the previous movie 'The Truman Show' a kind of art film? I feel that movie should allow Yudie to win something at the Shenlong Awards."
"It's not as simple as you think."
"Why? Wasn't that movie good?"
"Of course the movie is good and could have won the Shenlong Award, but this year's "Nightfall" was so popular that I feel that movie will be the biggest favorite at the Shenlong Award next year."
“I have to say, Nightfall is really great.”
"What's the point of the Shenlong Award? The excellence of Yudie's films doesn't need any awards to prove it."
"Anyway, in my heart, The Truman Show is the best."
"As for the new movie by Fish Dad, I can imagine the plot. Pi and the tiger outsmart the shark, and in the end they drink shark meat when they are hungry and shark blood when they are thirsty!"
"It sounds like a commercial film that focuses on special effects."
"Life of Pi? The main character is a man? No bikini beauties? Fish Dad doesn't play by the rules! Don't movies of this type like to have a giant shark chasing the male protagonist and a few bikini girls all the way, with all kinds of bonuses in the process?"
"… "
The audience regarded this movie as a commercial film about fighting sharks at sea. After all, this type of movie is very common in the market.
It's a commercial film.
This type of movie usually features a brave and resourceful protagonist, one or two useless teammates, and a few bikini girls who serve as vases.
The useless teammates are responsible for holding the team back and highlighting the protagonist's awesomeness.
The bikini girls are responsible for screaming, being frightened by sharks, and then having their clothes torn, which gives the audience a feast for the eyes. Finally, the protagonist saves them and reaps love in the disaster.
A few people may die in the middle to create an atmosphere of despair.
That's how commercial films of this type are shot anyway.
The difference in the routine of Lin Yuan's movie is that this movie does not seem to mention bikini girls and long legs. There are only the protagonist and a tiger on the sea, but it is not known whether the tiger is male or female. If it is a male tiger, it must be released in a zoo.
Is this a preparation for a battle between the land overlord and the sea emperor
The protagonist is responsible for commanding the tiger
Everyone's train of thought has gone astray.
The plot they imagined was completely different from the content of the movie.
But Xingmang did not explain.
There's nothing wrong with letting everyone think so, after all, this thing sounds new.
That's the gimmick.
If we tell the audience that this is actually an art film, their expectations will probably decrease.
From any perspective, commercial films are more attractive to audiences than the rare art films.
Only when the audience walks into the cinema will they find out:
This movie actually far exceeded their imagination!
Think carefully about the terrifying series!
