The promotion of the two films is in full swing. One week before the release, the box office pre-sales of the May Day movie files were launched at the same time.
Qin Li's "Hidden Dream" took the first place with an accumulated pre-sale box office of over 100 million, and Ji Li's "Reverse Hunting" also performed well, temporarily ranking second with a pre-sale box office of 90 million, which directly opened the first place. Three big ones.
The ranking of the pre-sale box office is still within the expectations of Ji Li and the producers of "Reverse Hunting", and it has generally exceeded their expectations.
Compared with Ji Li, who singled out the male lead for the first time, Qin Li, as the top actor with a 100% good film rate, has always been able to hit the box office in movies with him.
Coupled with the fact that the movie "Latent Dream" has the guest star of actress Sun Li, many people are watching it because of the gimmick of the collaboration between the male and female protagonists of "The Awakened". This is quite attractive.
It's only been three years since Ji Li's debut, and the pre-sales are only 15 million away from the box office, which is already considered a gratifying result.
From April 2 to 17, Qin Li returned to China to participate in the screening of the new movie. As a suspense film, the several reversals in "Latent Dream" are still very exciting.
The male protagonist Wei Lin in the film was born in a rural area and was bullied for a long time in college. After a severe breakdown, he became infected with a strong hatred and killed his college classmates who bullied him.
In this case, his second personality disguised the perfect alibi to hide all the blood.
Eight years later, the case was fruitless.
Because of the fear and anxiety after the murder, Wei Lin's main character willingly handed over control of his body for a long time.
After graduating from school, under the guidance of the second personality, Wei Lin became a qualified psychiatrist and had a stable relationship with a girlfriend—Zhen Zheng.
In order to conceal his dual personality, Wei Lin never lived with Zhen Zheng under the pretext of "respect before marriage".
Zhen Zheng is a graduate student of law. Facing her boyfriend's thoughtfulness, she is happy and grateful to accept it.
So, the two dated for two years.
Wei Lin uses his second personality to work and socialize during the day, and indulges and regrets late at night with his master personality.
On the day of his thirtieth birthday, when Wei Lin's second personality woke up, he found himself standing at the scene of a murder case, and the dead person who fell into the sea of blood was his girlfriend.
Wei Lin, the second personality, tried to hypnotize himself, and went into the dream to find the confrontation of the main personality, because in his opinion-everything that happened when he had "no memory" must be done by the main personality!
However, the main character denied it as soon as he opened his mouth, because he also has no 'memory' of this period of time.
According to the main personality, the control over the body during this period has always been decided by the second personality, and he never had a chance to appear.
The murder when he lost his mind made him terrified to this day. Over the years, he wanted to report to the police and surrender many times, but he was stopped by the successful second personality.
Under such circumstances, how could he make the mistake of killing again? What's more, this person is his girlfriend in name!
The police went into the investigation and found that this was another case of murder in a secret room with no flaws.
The plot has progressed to this point? It has completely fallen into a cloud of fog, but the ensuing reversals are layer after layer——
From the beginning to the end, the person who fell in love with Zhen Zheng was the second personality Wei Lin.
Three months ago, after drinking at a party, the second personality who was coaxed to get drunk unconsciously gave up the initiative of the body.
It was this accident that led to the first meeting between Wei Lin's protagonist and Zhen Zheng.
From that moment on, Zhen Zheng realized that something was wrong.
Boyfriend seems to be a different person suddenly
She began to deliberately break the pre-marriage rules of the two, and often ran to Wei Lin's house in the middle of the night, and found a completely different side of her boyfriend.
The boyfriend during the day is confident and calm, while the boyfriend at night is cowardly and reserved.
The boyfriend during the day has obsessive-compulsive disorder, but the boyfriend at night is decadent.
Zhen Zheng accidentally thought of "dual personality" and began to investigate. She also personally asked someone to find out about her boyfriend Wei Lin's real experience from childhood to adulthood.
And after getting along with each other many times at night, she gradually got all kinds of fragmented news from the mouth of the protagonist, forming that shocking secret.
—The boyfriend not only has a dual personality, but also killed someone? !
At the same time, Wei Lin's second personality keenly sensed something was wrong.
He found that his girlfriend was always avoiding him, investigating him secretly, and even inquiring about the relationship between the dead college classmate and him.
It's a secret, I can't hide it.
Zhen Zheng fell in love with Wei Lin miserably. She was tormented by morality and love, and in the end, her sensibility outweighed her rationality.
Zhenzheng tried every means to cure her boyfriend's illness, and even wanted to take him away to another country. She never mentioned the murder case back then, and completely forgot the moral bottom line and standards that a law student should have!
But Wei Lin's second personality misunderstood her, thinking that Zhen Zheng was going to send him to trial and jail.
In this case, a fierce dispute arose between the two parties—
Wei Lin didn't believe the love expressed by his girlfriend, since she could investigate him in private? How could it be possible to love him
Wei Lin couldn't bear this secret being made public, even if it was only a thousandth concept, he wanted to erase any mistakes and imperfections in his life, even if this 'stain' came from his girlfriend who knew about it.
Zhen Zheng is dead.
The murderer is Wei Lin's second personality.
After committing a perfect and flawless crime, the second personality Wei Lin, who is a psychiatrist, hypnotized and 'erased' his own memory, because only when he doesn't know anything, there will be no loopholes in the situation.
However, evil cannot escape punishment.
After the police cracked the perfect locked room murder case, they arrested the biggest suspect, Wei Lin.
However, as a psychiatrist, Wei Lin is really too strong, and he can only do one thing and play tricks on the interrogating police officers and senior psychological consultants.
And the biggest reversal hidden in it is-the murder case in school that year was not at all the murder of the main personality under the hatred and anger, but the long-planned crime of the split second personality!
In order to make himself feel at ease, the second personality imposed all the guilt on the main personality, and used the latter's guilt to successfully control the sovereignty of the body for many years.
…
Director Ke Hei is very good at using the rhythm of the camera.
The seemingly stated plot is flashbacked in the finished film.
From Zhen Zheng's death to the police investigation; from Wei Lin's pain and remorse after learning of his girlfriend's death, to his heartless determination when he killed the killer in memory; Indifference until the truth is revealed.
The film uses fragmented shots to restore the truth of the two cases before and after. Only by watching the end carefully and carefully can a complete story be formed.
In the movie, Qin Li performed the subtle expression of the dual personality to the peak, and the scene that impressed all audiences the most was——
Wei Lin's second personality pretends to be the main personality and kills his girlfriend.
Forty-five seconds of fixed shots, there are as many as seven changes in the eyes before and after, which made many viewers feel chills in the theater, and couldn't help but call it awesome.
After the three-hour screening meeting ended, the praise for the screening on the Internet immediately fermented.
—Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Qin Li is indispensable in the film and television industry! The dual personality is so exciting!
— Goosebumps fell all over the floor! Director Ke Hei directed a suspense film for the first time and did a great job!
——Sister Sun Li, my goddess! So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful!
— Just kidding, Sister Li is too miserable, haha, the characters died in the hands of brother Li in the two collaborations
——Qin Li's acting skills are really terrifying, how did he manage to make one movie better than the other? Doesn't his acting have a peak and an end
——Qin Li, there is no one among my peers who can fight.
…
It is no exaggeration to say that once Qin Li gets out, the entire film and television industry will be shocked.
On April 30th, the movie "Latent Dream" had its national premiere. As of 18 o'clock that night, the box office on the day of the premiere had already exceeded 100 million, and the theater screening rate accounted for a high share of 24%.
If "Reverse Hunting", which is released one day later, is not strong, then "Latent Dream" can lock in the box office champion of the 51st place in advance.
…
Inside the artist lounge.
Looking at the soaring popularity of topics on the Internet, Ji Li unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, and he sent the screenshots of netizens' rainbow farts to Qin Li.
"Mr. Qin, you're amazing. You're going to be praised to the sky on the Internet."
The reply on WeChat came very quickly.
"Are you nervous? Didn't you mean you still want to bet with me on winning or losing the box office? Baby, so far, I'm almost 120 million ahead of you."
Ji Li raised his eyebrows, and replied, "Isn't it that it was released a day earlier than us? Teacher Qin, if you are too proud, you will suffer."
"Honey, I'm not proud, it's my confidence. My theater promotion is about to start, how about you?"
"It's coming soon, the premiere will start in half an hour."
The two were happily taking the time to chat on WeChat when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Director Rong Tong's voice came from outside, "Ji Li, are you free? Is it convenient for us to come in?"
"Of course it's convenient." Ji Li quickly replied to Qin Li and put away the phone.
The lounge door opened, and in addition to the director Rong Tong, the screenwriter Kan Xi, the producer's Mr. Chen, and Fang Mo also entered the room.
When Ji Li saw the person coming, he immediately got up and said hello, "Hello, teachers, please sit down."
"We have to go on stage in ten minutes, and we want to chat with you." Rong Tong motioned Ji Li to sit down together, and asked, "How is it? Are you nervous?"
Their movie was scheduled to be released at midnight on the 1st. In order to spread word-of-mouth earlier, they chose to have an early premiere on the night of the 30th.
"Fortunately, I have already done all the work that should be worked hard during filming. The next step is to cooperate with the producer to promote the film."
Ji Li looked around, and his tone was calm and sincere, "I'm not nervous about the upcoming premiere, but I'm a little stressed."
After all, he is the hero of the movie, if the box office hits the market after the release, it is directly related to him.
Rong Tong patted him on the shoulder, "Relax, although the competition pressure is a bit greater this time, our film is not hopeless."
Mr. Chen from the producer sighed, and continued, "It's my fault that I and the other executives of the producer didn't think carefully and didn't make timely adjustments. Instead, Qin Li and Director Ke Hei seized the market ahead of time."
Originally, they heard the news that "Latent Dream" will be released on July 1st, so they dared to allow themselves to release it on May 1st, but the other party moved the file temporarily, completely catching them by surprise.
The former is released today, and the word of mouth is fermented three days in advance; they will be released tomorrow, and the premiere will start tonight.
Missing the opportunity to seize the market can easily lead to a bad start, and it will take more effort to recover later.
Besides, judging from the current word-of-mouth of "Latent Dream", it is another trend of explosive explosive films.
"Old Chen, you're here again." Rong Tong dismissed, "A good movie needs to pass the market test, it's not a day or two."
"Don't worry, although I also recognize Director Ke's strength, but I was born in suspense films and edited by Mr. Kansai. How can our films be worse?"
Although Rong Tong is humble, he is full of confidence when it is time to be high-profile.
"How fresh is the partner of Ji Li and Fang Mo? The acting skills are obvious to all, so don't worry about it. No matter who the opponent is, as long as we can achieve our initial goal of one billion, it will be considered an initial victory."
Kansai is also confident in his screenwriting works, "Director Rong is right, good firewood is not afraid of not being burned."
Originally, Fang Mo was a little nervous to come out again after so many years, but he saw that his friends of the same age were more confident than each other.
Even the younger leading actor Ji Li was extraordinarily calm, and the worries in his heart were subconsciously dispelled.
"Well, step by step."
Ten minutes later, the group was invited to the movie theater by the staff. The cheers suddenly erupted, coming from every corner of the hall, large and small.
"Ahhhh!"
"Cub! Mama loves you! Come on!"
"Today's look looks good too! The stylist, get out and get kissed!"
In such a lively and noisy environment, Ji Li suddenly heard Microsoft's support.
"Come on Ji Li, I'm here for you!"
Ji Li's eyes were fixed, and his eyes fell on the middle of the second row. It was a sweetly dressed girl who looked a little familiar.
In an instant, Ji Li's thoughts returned to the screening ceremony of "Tianxia Bangguo", which was also held in this Nuoda movie hall.
In the cheers that belonged to others, a girl firmly raised her hand to him and said exactly the same thing—
"Come on Ji Li, I'm here for you."
The movie premiere when the supporting role was played, and this fan was there.
The movie premiered when he was the male lead, and this fan hasn't left yet.
And the encouragement given by this fan is still fresh in his memory.
Ji Li felt that his rationality was always greater than his sensibility, but at this moment, he actually had the urge to pantothenic acid in his nose.
Perhaps in the career of an actor, there will always be such a little glimmer of light that can support the heart and make it better step by step.
Ji Li evoked a slight smile at the fan, but the latter did not get up excitedly and yell, but showed a more determined look.
— Ji Li, I am very happy to see you getting better little by little.
It probably belongs to the tacit understanding between idols and fans.
After looking at each other for less than two seconds, Ji Li felt that he understood the lines in her eyes.
Ji Li came to the stage and stood still, bowed deeply to the fans and friends in the audience, "Thank you everyone, long time no see."
Taking advantage of the gap, Fang Yue in the auditorium quickly raised the cannon and took a few snaps.
In addition to being a rose group manager, she is also an offline station sister. She captured the classic scene backstage at the Baixiang Awards red carpet backstage.
She has already been to the screening of "Latent Dream" two days ago, and took a lot of photos of Brother Li, so naturally it's her turn to take pictures of Ji Li Zai Zai today.
Fang Yue took advantage of the time when the host was speaking, and quickly looked back at the details of the photo.
Fuck!
Why does the watch on Ji Li's wrist look so familiar
Dark blue galaxy dial? Did Brother Li also wear the screenings from the previous two days? !
Fang Yue's memory is better than ever in knocking CP. She quickly opened the photos before the camera and found a close-up of Qin Yue.
Sure enough, it is the same dark blue galaxy dial!
This is a couple model? Or the same one
On such an important movie screening occasion, they actually brought the same watch? Caught off guard, his face was covered in dog food from the two of them.
ah~
It smells so good!
Under the leadership of the host, the scene soon entered the media interview session.
"Hi Ji Li, I'm a reporter from Show magazine, and I want to ask, what do you think of "Hidden Dream" which is against Mr. Qin Li on May 1st? Do you have the confidence to win the other party's total box office after the movie ends? "
As soon as the female entertainment reporter stood up to ask questions, she immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
Good guy!
Came to step on thunder to ask questions at the beginning
Who didn't know that the two films were competing at the same time
This time, instead of asking director Ke Hei, he directly named Qin Li.
If Ji Li answers too softly, it will only make "Reverse Hunting" lose its aura at the beginning.
If the answer is too strong, it will inevitably be embellished by the media and marketing accounts, which may cause dissatisfaction among Qin Li fans and doubts from ordinary netizens.
After all, Ji Li and Qin Li are known for their good relationship, and the number of CP fans can almost catch up with the number of fans of second-tier stars. If they say something bad on the surface, can this CP continue to be popular
"Hi, thanks for asking."
"First of all, the release time of the movie is not up to me. Whether it's filming or post-promotion, Mr. Qin Li and I, as the leading actors of the two movies, can only do our due work."
"The film market needs healthy competition. As filmmakers, what we have to do is to bring better works to everyone, and the right to choose will always be in the hands of the audience?"
"No matter what the final box office is, it will not affect my relationship with Mr. Qin Li, nor will it affect the relationship between the two film crews."
"However, since everyone is so curious about our views on the box office, then I will reveal a small thing here - in the competition for the movie box office, I gambled with Brother Li for a meal."
The last half of the sentence clearly captured the meaning of the smile.
On the bright side, extreme fans fight in the ring
Privately relying on box office wins or losses to make appointments
Is it an illusion? Why does it sound like you have a sweet and greasy taste
Rong Tong looked at Ji Li with admiration in his eyes.
Facing difficult questions, Ji Li answered in a calm and generous manner, not only answering the reporter's questions, but also preserving his good relationship with Qin Li on the surface.
Even if the marketing account deliberately misleads, it is not easy for people to find out the mistakes in any sentence in these remarks.
Yuji was asked to stand up and ask questions again, but the topic still revolved around Ji Li, the leading actor.
Ji Li still answered appropriately, and did not intentionally grab the limelight, but found the right point and would lead the topic to Fang Mo and other supporting actors.
Even for newcomers, Ji Li can take the initiative to take care of their exposure. Originally, those supporting actors who were not well-known were still somewhat restrained, but with the deepening of the interview and the relaxed guidance of Ji Li, everyone simply let go and chatted, and the atmosphere on the scene became better and better.
The actors took the initiative to mention interesting things during the filming on the set, which also made the audience in the theater look forward to the next screening.
Half an hour of interview time passed by in a flash.
After Ji Li waited for the actors to take their seats, the lights in the audience dimmed.
In the dim environment, a girl secretly sitting in the corner of the auditorium let out a disdainful laugh.
The screen of her mobile phone lights up dimly, and the group name shows 'Guardian Lige Combat Squad'—
"Wenwen, did you really go to the screening of "Reverse Hunting"? Why did you give the opponent that little money?"
Zheng Wen glanced around and quickly typed to reply to her sister.
"How can I spend money to buy tickets to give points to the other party? My college classmate is Ji Li's fan. She can't come because she has something to do. She thinks I am the Tianwei sister of Li's family. She said that the master has a good relationship, so this ticket is free. Give it to me."
Don't be in vain.
She could just use this free movie ticket to spy on the enemy.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.
Zheng Wen continued typing to reply—
"Doesn't the Ji family think this movie can compete with Brother Li? Damn! I just want to see how bad this movie is, and immediately post bad reviews on major websites after it's over, and watch me screw it up." Not them!"
"Brother Li has finally released a new movie in Huaguo. As his fans, we must wipe out any forces that don't have eyes!"
"You all listen to me, prepare a few more trumpets. Listen to my orders later, and the plot of "Reverse Hunting" is not good."
The sisters in the group responded one after another, apparently maintaining unity to the outside world.
Zheng Wen replied a few more words, and put away the phone contentedly.
Who said that the fans of Lijia are all Buddhist? Aren't they still holding on to this
Those old and big fans of the Li family will only shout "focus on yourself" all day long, so who will protect Brother Li's position
Therefore, they must stand up for Brother Li and kill the enemy in the bud!
Ji Li has a fart
Since his debut, he has been relying on Brother Li, this time the leading male lead movie must hit the street hard!
Just as Zheng Wen was thinking, there were voices of discussion from the film critics area in front of her.
"Which movie do you think has a better chance of winning this time?"
"It's still Qin Li. After all, the quality of the movie is there. The follow-up word-of-mouth continues to ferment, and the box office will definitely not be bad." This lineup is also powerful, if the quality of the feature film is stable, it is conservatively estimated that the box office can reach one billion."
"Among actors of the same age, Ji Li is really good, but it's still an old saying, in this entertainment industry? There is probably no actor who wants to surpass Qin Li."
Zheng Wen's eyes became more complacent when she heard the discussion.
That's right!
Ji Li wants to surpass Brother Li? Absolutely impossible!
The author has something to say: Jiri: Just wait, I'm going to take down Qin Li at the box office!
Brother Li: Capture me? Baby is pretty wild ah
Don't worry about KY telling me [Tap Gong Teng Shou & Tread Shou Thong Gong], the two are in love, the box office PK will have a suitable result. The hero of the movie has a dividend, whoever makes more money is not raising the family together (狗头JPG)
