tearjerker director

Chapter 172 The Tang Dynasty and the Super Movie

The shadow of a person, the name of a tree, although Li Yi himself said that he does not particularly care about the Hong Kong Island Film Awards, but in fact, the Hong Kong Island Film Awards, as one of the three major Chinese film awards, still have a lot of influence of.

If it was the best director of other Academy Awards, perhaps not too many people would be afraid.

But Li Yi is different. Last year, his two movies grossed over 20 billion at the box office. This year, it was only an online movie, a music movie, which even managed to sell over [-] million at the box office.

No one dares to ignore such a box office harvesting ability.

And when Li Yi even used the live broadcast of the Academy Awards to promote his new work, although the name sounds a bit weird, "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty".

But Li Yi's previous record was too fierce.

Therefore, many directors and companies that have films to be released in the near future have become vigilant.

After all, no one wants to have a head-to-head confrontation with a billionaire director like Li Yi.

Fortunately, according to the results of the investigation, the film with a weird name was actually a micro-movie for advertisements!

This finally made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Although a director with billions of dollars like Li Yi would make people feel that he was not doing his job properly when he was shooting some kind of commercial, but in their hearts they thought that it would be better if they did not do their job properly.

But Li Yi's fans have long been familiar with it.

After all, even if it is a short film by Li Yi, Li Yi's production must be a boutique.

In this way, not only did not let the expectation drop, but it made them look forward even more.

How many people cried when Li Yi made his first short film "Deal"?
Compared with the post-production of the film, the publicity and release, the fixed schedule, and the advertising of micro-movies, obviously it does not need to be so troublesome.

In other words, they can see the film earlier and faster.

However, the difficulty of filming "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty" was said to have exceeded Li Yi's expectations.

It's not that the film is difficult to shoot, but because the filming location is in the desert.

The environment here is naturally not comparable to that in the city or the countryside. Among other things, the wind and sand is enough to make Li Yi and the crew feel uncomfortable.

What's more, there is a huge temperature difference between day and night, and there are many night scenes in "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty".

Even Li Yi felt that the shooting of this short film was more troublesome and uncomfortable than his previous films.

Although it was only a short ten-minute film, it also involved many scenes that Li Yi met for the first time.

Such as action scenes, fighting scenes.

These films have a completely different level of difficulty from the films he made before.

For this reason, it is naturally impossible to speed up the progress.

It wasn't until the time entered June that "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty" was finally declared completed.

It took more than three months from preparation to finalization, and finally finished filming this advertising micro-movie.

Li Yi also joked that "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty" can even be said to be the most expensive film he has ever made. Yes, it is not limited to micro-movies, but also theater movies.

It is impossible for the entertainment industry to always revolve around someone. In fact, with the popularity of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards disappearing, although "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty", with the support of Penguin Video and Huaguo UnionPay, has been All maintain a certain degree of heat.

But after all, the film hasn't finished filming yet, and it hasn't been released yet, so the popularity is only relative.

Naturally, it cannot be compared with the publicity of those real big productions.

What's more, in this year's summer vacation, there is a blockbuster movie that can be called a super blockbuster movie that has already begun to promote.

And the publicity is really super.

On the Internet, on TV, when the first trailer was released, many people from Li Yi's crew were discussing it.

This super sci-fi blockbuster "The Last Battle" is said to have been produced by the famous Chinese director Luo Teng in four years and at a cost of nearly [-] million Chinese dollars.

Li Yi has also watched the trailer, and I have to say that I don't know how the movie will be for now, but the special effects are indeed very good, and it can be said that it is not much worse than Hollywood special effects blockbusters.

In addition, a lot of real money was spent on publicity, soft and hard, and even Li Yi could see the promotional posters of "The Last Battle" in the city next to the desert.

It can be said that this is the most popular and most anticipated movie of this summer.

However, there is one thing that made many people question this movie, because this movie sounds like it cost a lot of 3 million Chinese dollars.

But in fact, because of the starring roles in this movie, many of them are traffic niches, and as we all know, traffic niches have a lot of traffic and high pay, and the rest are lackluster.

Therefore, although this allowed the movie to gain more attention from fans of these traffic stars when it was being promoted, it also made passers-by doubt the quality of the movie.

Because 3 million sounds like a lot, but this is a blockbuster sci-fi special effects movie, and those traffic stars are all top-notch, the highest-paid group.

The sum of their salaries may account for more than half of this cost.

So with the remaining money, is it really possible to make such a special effects blockbuster?
Originally, no matter how fierce the "Last Battle" was, no matter how good the publicity was, whether the fire exploded at the box office or hit the street directly, in Li Yi's opinion, it had nothing to do with him.

After all, he didn't have a movie released this summer, so it wouldn't affect him in any way.

"The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty" went through the channels of online distribution and TV distribution, and the two are completely different. UnionPay spends money, Penguin Video spends resources, and what they earn is traffic. It can be said that the impact is really not big.

As a result, what Li Yi didn't expect was that after returning, Penguin Video and Huaguo UnionPay all said that "The Last Battle" has been too popular recently, taking up a lot of exposure resources and attracting all eyes In the past, they were a little worried, if "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty" was launched at the same time, would it be affected?

"I don't think it has much influence. After all, we are free, and it's just a micro movie." Li Yi really didn't think that no matter how powerful the other party was, he could directly attract all the attention?

How about this, wait for me to cut out the finished film, then you guys will have a look, anyway, I have a lot of confidence in our film, even if the real "Last Battle" broke out, in fact, for us Yes is not necessarily a bad thing. "Li Yi thought for a while and said.

"How do you say that?" Yan Wenwei asked curiously.

Ma Xinhua of Huaguo UnionPay also looked at Li Yi in surprise.

"Didn't you read their promotional posters? The promotional copy they typed is "Stick to the last battlefield of the earth", don't you find it familiar?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

Yan Wenwei and Ma Xinhua were taken aback when they heard the words, and then couldn't help laughing, it was true.

In "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty", isn't the lonely city full of white hairs in the thousands of miles also the same to hold on to the last glory of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions?
