After the movie promotion started, it attracted a lot of attention, not to mention how high the expectations were. In addition to Xianyu's own fans, netizens who were interested in this type of movie have become a potential consumer group for the box office.
"Exploration."
“Big investment.”
"Special effects movie."
This is the impression given to everyone in the early stage of promotion. It is not surprising to conclude that this movie is a commercial film based on these impressions, especially after Xianyu filmed "Spider-Man". Everyone knows that this cross-border player is also good at making commercial films. After all, there are very few art films that will invest hundreds of millions of dollars. Using normal logical thinking, which company dares to bet so much money on the success or failure of an art film
The conclusion of netizens is also the conclusion of the creative team of "Nightfall".
This movie, titled "Nightfall", is the work of Qi Zhou from Blue Star Cinema Hall.
The movie received rave reviews upon its release.
Many people say that "Nightfall" will reap huge rewards at the Shenlong Awards, including the film's creative team.
"It seems that Xianyu has given up on next year's Shenlong Award."
An Xu, the director of the movie "Nightfall", spoke with a smile. He is one of the most famous art film directors in Qizhou. He won the Best Director Award at the Shenlong Award eight years ago and is an influential figure in the film and television industry.
"We don't have to worry even if he continues to make art films in his new films."
The film's chief screenwriter Jiang Zhu also laughed. Jiang Zhu and An Xu are old partners.
The screenwriter of An Xu's best director movie eight years ago was Jiang Zhu.
However, An Xu's films are directed by the director, and the screenwriter Jiang Zhu is in a subordinate position.
"I'm just being safe."
An Xu's eyes flashed with admiration and he said, "The Truman Show at the beginning of the year was so good. I am amazed that Xianyu could write such a script. If his movie is also an arty type, then I really dare not take it lightly."
An Xu approves of "The Truman Show".
Regardless of whether this movie can win the ultimate award in the end, it cannot change the fact that this movie can be called a classic. After all, awards are not the only criterion for measuring the quality of a movie, just like box office cannot represent everything.
In fact.
Even if Xianyu only has one art film released this year, "The Truman Show", it is enough for An Xu and Jiang Zhu to take it seriously.
This film remains the biggest rival of "Nightfall" in the competition for the Shenlong Award.
"He has a lot of creative energy, and the quality of each of his scripts is remarkable. I really admire this, but your worry is unnecessary. It's not easy to write scripts for art films. The Truman Show at the beginning of the year was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I don't believe he can come up with another film of this type. I expect his new film to be a commercial film."
Jiang Zhu analyzed calmly.
An Xu curled his lips and said, "I just happen to have nothing to do in a few days. Do you want to go see Xianyu's new movie together?"
Jiang Zhu nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."
Xianyu now has a certain status in the film industry, and his peers in the industry are still curious about his movies.
"That's right."
Jiang Zhu suddenly said: "The genre of Xianyu's new film seems to have made some film critics very dissatisfied. Some film critics are too biased against commercial films. It makes me want to write a commercial film script, but I have to consider the opinions of film critics..."
"There are a lot of dead intellectuals among film critics."
An Xu curled his lips. Even though his "Nightfall" is an art film, how could a man who could win the Shenlong Award for Best Director only make art films
He also has some commercial works, including some high-grossing blockbusters.
It is difficult for a pure art film director to win the Shenlong Award because box office is also one of the reference items for the award.
"Making commercial films is decadent. I doubt the professionalism of film critics who can say such things. It seems that the Spider-Man by Xianyu caused a lot of backlash from film critics. These people sincerely don't want people to make money."
"That makes sense. I'm also going to ignore them."
Jiang Zhu said, "However, Xianyu's commercial films are different from others. Even for commercial films like Spider-Man, he has added his own thoughts and understanding. This is worth learning from. Let's see how he will do in his new film. Maybe it can bring me some interesting inspiration."
Qizhou filmmakers are still very studious.
This is probably why Qizhou is the Blue Star Movie Hall of Fame.
certainly.
The two were able to chat so easily and happily because, in the final analysis, they both agreed that Xianyu's new movie was a commercial film and would not compete with their "Night".
These days.
For a commercial film with a large investment and high special effects, it is difficult to compete with works like "Nightfall" which have both good reputation and box office for the heavyweight award of the Shenlong Award unless the box office explodes to a certain extent.
…
In the next few days, the promotion of "Life of Pi" was quite lively.
There were some other movies promoted during the same period, but the two words "Xianyu" still carry a lot of weight in the hearts of movie fans.
This is because Xianyu's name can already provide a certain quality assurance for the film.
During the promotion process.
Xingmang also released a few minutes of movie trailer!
The movie trailer doesn't have any hints about the content, but is mainly based on special effects:
Flying fish shuttle across the seabed...
Jellyfish emit gorgeous light...
Dolphins jumped out of the water one after another...
Of course, there were also whales as everyone imagined, but they appeared in groups, and there was a whale-like creature among them that splashed countless waves and leaped over the boat...
Under the whale.
The tiger and the boy were at the bow and stern of the boat respectively.
It’s hard to imagine that this was a shipwreck. Is survival at sea so romantic
All the pictures are breathtakingly beautiful!
For netizens who like this gorgeous style, such a promotional video has a fatal temptation!
“What a beautiful ocean!”
“This use of color is really great!”
"The director is Du An from Qizhou. He and Xianyu have teamed up to really take the picture quality to a new level!"
“I almost thought it was an ocean-related documentary!”
“What a gorgeous picture!”
"I want to go see this movie with my girlfriend, but I don't know if the ticket inspector will let me in."
"It's fine if you're not allowed in, but is your girlfriend made of some kind of silicone?"
"Xianyu has his own understanding of commercial films. For example, when he shoots superheroes, the focus is on depicting the inner growth of the characters rather than saving the world. This time, "Life of Pi" probably follows the same idea. Others make the stories exciting and thrilling, with long legs on the beach and bikinis, but his focus is on the beauty of the ocean!"
"… "
This promotional video indeed attracted a lot of netizens.
The talent of the director is indeed very important, which is why Lin Yuan chose to work with a famous director like Du An!
If you use Yichenggong, it is impossible for Yichenggong to take more beautiful photos than Du An!
certainly.
Everyone has their own strengths. Yi Chenggong’s filming of “The Truman Show” is very exciting. This movie does not need too gorgeous pictures, as long as it can restore the story well, and this is Yi Chenggong’s strength.
He is very good at restoring the plot of the script.
The prerequisite is that the plot of the script itself must be good, and Lin Yuan can just satisfy him on this point.
that's all.
August 7th is coming.
The release date in the movie promotion has arrived!
This day.
The cinemas are very busy!
An Xu held the movie ticket and waited for the movie to start while looking at the audience buying tickets in the hall:
“There are quite a lot of people buying tickets.”
Jiang Zhu, who came to watch the movie with An Xu, smiled and said, "Xian Yu is already very popular, and his movies have always been of very good quality, so he is becoming more and more attractive to the audience."
"Um."
An Xu thought thoughtfully: "Perhaps one day in the future, Xianyu will stand at the top of the food chain in the film industry and become a force capable of fighting against Zhongzhou."
"Zhongzhou..."
Jiang Zhu smiled bitterly.
It is true that Qizhou is the movie palace of Blue Star, but in fact, everyone on Blue Star knows that the real art center of Blue Star is still Zhongzhou, which is not taken into consideration by all parties.
Zhongzhou is too strong.
In the past, no matter how strong Zhongzhou was, each continent had its own cultural wall. But in a few years, Zhongzhou would join the process of merging the continents, and the art and culture of the entire Blue Star would become one.
By then.
How to compete with those perverts in Central China is something that top artistic talents from every continent need to consider.
While the two were chatting.
The theater showing "Life of Pi" started checking tickets.
"Let's go."
An Xu walked forward.
Jiang Zhu followed and checked the tickets together.
After entering the theater, An Xu sat in the seventh row seat that he had carefully selected when buying the ticket.
Jiang Zhu sat next to him.
This is a top-notch screening room with superb 3D projection effects.
In front of the audience is an ultra-large screen that is nearly thirty meters wide and nearly twenty meters high!
Including the audio system and so on, everything is top-notch!
And a movie ticket in this kind of top-notch screening hall costs hundreds of yuan!
This is a theater that can only be used for top blockbuster movies. If it is a movie with a small investment, it is not even qualified to be shown in this theater.
For example, some non-3D movies will not be shown in this hall.
also.
This theater also uses the naked-eye 3D effect, so the audience does not need to wear 3D glasses.
You know.
The earth's film technology has not yet reached the effect of naked-eye 3D, so Cameron, Hollywood's number one technology fanatic, is tirelessly exploring this technological field.
And on Blue Star.
Naked-eye 3D is no longer a strange thing for the audience, and 3D glasses have been eliminated.
There’s more to it than that.
In addition to the naked-eye 3D effect, the chairs in this hall are also intelligent and will change with the atmosphere of the movie. They may even shake slightly, but this is adjusted by the audience themselves and they can choose not to turn on this function.
Including the lighting in the theater and so on are not fixed.
All in all, under normal circumstances, only movies with an investment of more than 500 million yuan can be equipped with such top-level technology. This is why Blue Star's top special effects blockbusters have such high box office. The viewing effect is really like being on the scene!
This is not something that a small-investment movie can compare to.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time that Lin Yuan’s film is equipped with such top Blue Star technology.
In Lao Zhou's words:
This is not only Lin Yuan's first time, but also Blue Star has never had an art film adopt this kind of screening specifications!
And now.
This "Life of Pi" has officially begun!
The film company's logo is flashing.
All the audience, including An Xu and Jiang Zhu, looked up at the giant screen.
