tearjerker director

Chapter 25 The Movie
It is impossible for a movie to be liked by everyone.Li Yi's movies are naturally the same.

Although "The Gift in Room No. [-]" has a very good reputation, the box office has also begun to enter the harvest stage.There are many people who like it, but similarly, there are also many people who don't like it.

Jingnan TV Station, "Things About Movies" studio.

"Hello, viewers in front of the TV. Welcome to "Things About Movies", which is exclusively sponsored by Rice Mobile."

"I'm the host Fang Nan!"

"Recently, there is a very special movie that stands out from the many summer movies. Why is it special?"

"Because this movie was released under the name of a domestic horror movie when it was released, but it has gained a very good reputation from the audience. "!"

"In this episode, we specially invited the main creative members of this movie, some related film critics, and fans to chat about the things about this movie."

At this time, the camera was on Li Yi's side.

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Yi, the director of "The Gift of Room No. [-]"!"

"Hi everyone, I'm..." After a short self-introduction, the camera showed the guest film critic of this issue, the film critic Fang Long with the title of King of Finding Faults.

That's right, the one who was splashed with happy water by Xu Nannan during the screening.

There is also Du Xianghai, a well-known film critic who is sharp in words but has something to say.

The host Fang Nan smiled and said to Li Yi: "Director Li, we noticed before that the movie "The Gift of Room No. [-]" was originally released as a domestic horror movie. Is this true?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "That's what happened."

"So, is this done on purpose?" Fang Nan asked again.

"You can also say that." Li Yi nodded and replied.

"Is this way of publicizing suspected of deceiving the audience? What do you think about this?" Fang Nan asked again.

"I admit this. This way of announcement is indeed suspected of misleading the audience. Here, I would like to apologize to those who were misled." Li Yi stood up generously and bowed.

"I believe everyone. I really want to know. Why is this? After all, the movie The Gift of Room Seven. Judging from the current situation, it is doing quite well. And this is a comedy, which is not at all the same as a domestic horror movie. It’s just that the wind and the horse don’t matter.”

"Why do you need to use the domestic horror film method for publicity?"

Li Yi smiled wryly: "Actually, this is also our helpless move. Maybe many people don't know that I made a movie before called "Life of Bitterness".

That was my first movie, but it was screwed up.So my second film, which is The Gift of Room Seven.When looking for a distribution company, it can be said that no one cares at all.Finally, in desperation, we found a company willing to distribute the film - Oceanwide Films. "

"Before this, Fanhai Film and Television was a company engaged in the production and distribution of domestic horror films."

"Their distribution capabilities are limited. If it is not released in the form of a domestic horror film, then "The Gift of Room No. [-]" may not even be able to land in theaters."

"The first thing we have to consider is how to make the film release smoothly. As for the name and method of distribution? We can say that there was no choice at that time." Li Yi explained.

"Director Li, don't you mind if I introduce Director Li's previous film "Life of Bitterness"?" Fang Nan suddenly asked Li Yidao with a smile.

What can Li Yi do?It's no wonder that Chen Yinger said that she likes to make things difficult for people. For a director, what could be more embarrassing than posting relevant comments about your worst work in person?But it's not easy for Li Yi to refuse, because this is also part of the propaganda.

"If I mind, would you not introduce me?" Li Yi said cooperatively, covering his face.

"Of course not. Haha, just kidding. If Director Li minds, of course we won't let it go! Please watch the VCR!"

Jingnan TV Station, or the column team of "Things About Movies", is indeed very difficult.

In the VCR, Li Yi's first movie "Life of Bitterness" began to be introduced.

"There are two kinds of movies in this world. It is easy for people to think of them as soon as they hear the name. One is classic movies. When you mention the name, you will involuntarily think of the wonderful pictures and classic dialogues of this movie. There is another kind of bad movies, not ordinary bad movies, but extremely bad movies."

""Bitter Life" is undoubtedly such a bad movie. Let's not mention the content of the movie for the time being, let's take a look at the evaluation of the movie fans."

"Looking crying, ugly crying!"

"I admire the director very much. He is a seasoned veteran and his acting skills are online. What kind of level is it? Can such a luxurious lineup and such a reliable cast be shot like this. Director You took good pictures, don't take pictures in the future."

"..."

To be honest, looking at such bad movie reviews.Even if it was the original owner's fault, Li Yi felt a little ashamed.

Of course, the program team did ask for his opinion, and Li Yi didn't refuse.

No matter how bad it is, it is a thing of the past.

Of course, "Things About Movies" can't be all embarrassing to Li Yi who came to promote the movie. After introducing Li Yi's dark history, the style of painting suddenly changed.

The screen of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" appeared on the VCR.

"After the fiasco of his debut novel, Li Yi filmed "The Gift of Room No. [-]" again, this time..."

"Tell me a joke, I cried watching a domestic horror movie!"

"Although I was cheated, I am happy with it!"

"Maybe the tear point is too low, I cried several times while watching it!"

"It's hard to imagine that two films were made by the same director!"

"From bad film directors to rave reviews for new works..."

After the VCR ended, Li Yi got up to thank him.

Only then did Fang Nan ask again: "Many people screw up, especially the first movie, which is often hit hard, so what about you, Director Li?"

"Actually, I was also hit after "Life of Bitterness". I once thought that I was not suitable to be a director. During that time, I spent every day in a state of drunkenness. That time was very decadent."

As a result, "Things About Movies" released an old photo of Li Yi on the big screen, which was obviously well prepared.In the photo, Li Yi looked haggard, and he looked completely different from now.

"Then how did you regain your confidence?" Fang Nan asked.

"It's mainly my father and mother. Everyone gave up, including myself, but my parents didn't give up."

"Even if "Life of Bitterness" made them a laughing stock in the circle and lost a lot of money, but after I took out the script, my father decided to continue to support me. Not only did he ask Uncle You Ningsheng to help read the script, but also He also hired director Zhuo to help me, even when no one was willing to play the male lead, he personally acted."

Although Li Yi has elements of acting, what he said is also true.

There was thunderous applause.

"Ms. Li, is that so?" Fang Nan looked at Li Zhenye and asked.

Dad is a professional actor, he wiped the corners of his eyes, shook his head and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

"When he told me he had an idea for a new movie, my first reaction was, it's over, this guy is going to cheat again!"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone at the scene laughed out loud at Li Zhenye's expression.

"Then why did you support him again? Purely because he is your son?" Fang Nan asked.

"No way! Well, that's part of the reason."

"At that time, I really felt that I was going to cheat me again, but who made him my son? I just thought, no matter what, I can't dampen his hard-earned confidence."

"Who would have thought that he could finish the script in three days. I was really in a bad mood at that time. Is the script made in these three days reliable?" Li Zhenye said, and the scene burst into laughter again.

"What happened next?" Fang Nan asked curiously.

"I can't help it. I can only excuse myself and ask someone to read the script. You know, he has learned from the past. No matter how much money I have, he won't be defeated!"

"So I found Lao You, that is, You Ningsheng. At that time, I thought, let Lao You kill his script for me, but in the end he took out a thick stack of scripts that day. After reading it, Lao You thought the script was very good. ..."

"I was worried again, he was like the first time again, so I asked Director Zhuo to help watch over him. As for my acting, there was nothing I could do about it. After all, he cheated a lot of old friends before. I went up by myself..."

"Papa, papa, papa", thunderous applause at the scene!
"How about you, Ying Er? It seems that your first big screen work is "Life of Bitterness", right? After such a miserable lesson, why did you agree to continue acting as the heroine? Are you guys and girls in a relationship if you support him so much?" Fang Nan turned the topic to Chen Yinger again.

"Really! I really refused at first, after all, people can't jump into the same pit twice, right?" Chen Yinger said with a smile.

"Then why did you still play the role?" Fang Nan asked suspiciously.

"He came to me with the script himself, saying that he owed me a real heroine, and told me to make a decision after reading the script. I read the script, and to be honest, I was moved immediately. I want to trust him again and give myself a chance..."

"Director Zhuo, how about you, how do you feel about working with Director Li?" Fang Nan turned to Zhuo Yixiong again.

"Speaking of which, it was a very special experience. Many of my friends would not believe me when I said it. For this movie, I feel that Director Li has a complete picture in his mind. You can hardly find the whole movie. A few useless shots, everyone knows that a rough cut is required after filming, but this movie doesn’t need it at all, so I skipped it directly, because there are really no extra shots.”

"Although he is still a little unfamiliar with specific things, on the whole, he is not like a new director at all, but like an old director. In fact, as an assistant director, I am just doing odd jobs." Zhuo Yixiong said with some exaggeration.

"Thank you for your sharing. Next, I want to ask Director Li, what do you think of those critical voices?" Naturally, Fang Nan couldn't have been telling stories with Li Yi and the others, so he officially started to enter, the reservation of this show The link is "finding faults"!
"Sit and watch!" Li Yi pondered for a moment and then said seriously.

"Hahaha!" The scene burst into laughter.

"Just kidding, I always think that if criticism is not free, then praise is meaningless." Li Yi continued.

"Well, it's actually a bit hypocritical. As a director, I definitely don't like the voice of criticism, but there is no real perfect thing in this world. If it makes sense, I will accept it with an open mind. If it is nonsense, then it is nonsense. Gossip!" Li Yi added.

"Today we specially invited two senior film critics to chat with Director Li face to face about this movie. Welcome Teacher Fang Long and Teacher Du Xianghai."

"You two, there are not many opportunities to comment on his movies in front of the director, so you should take advantage of them. Let's briefly talk about your views on "The Gift of Room No. [-]". Who will come first?" Fang Nan asked with a smile.

Du Xianghai glanced at Fang Long with a smile and said, "Let me say a few words first."

"As the new work of a director who has already messed up a movie, I think the director of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" has put his heart into it. Compared with the previous works, the film has made obvious progress. At least the story is clear. Let me talk about the advantages in my opinion. The movie does not show off skills and tells stories in a down-to-earth manner. But it is too sensational, the story seems thin, overall, the film can be said to be qualified, but it is not excellent, and there are still many places to be strengthened."

"There are indeed a lot of illogical things in the movie. I won't say more about them. Teacher Fang is a professional in this respect."

"I think the evaluation of this movie on the Internet is still a bit overrated."

Du Xianghai's evaluation can be said to be quite satisfactory, neither belittle nor praise too much.

When it was Fang Long's turn, he was less polite.

"I don't want to vomit some words, Director Li, the background of your movie is Hong Kong Island, isn't it?" Fang Long asked.

"It can be said that it is!" Li Yi said indifferently.

"Then I'm wondering. Hong Kong Island abolished the death penalty very early, and the maximum is indefinitely. And your movie directly sentenced to death for the sake of sensationalism, and it was executed. Is it a bit too deliberate, purely for sensationalism and ignoring the basic facts? ?" Fang Long looked at Li Yi aggressively and asked.

"Director Fang, I don't know where you found the information. Maybe you didn't watch the movie carefully. The background of the movie is indeed Hong Kong Island, but the case happened 17 years ago, and Hong Kong Island actually began to abolish death in 1993. Before that, although you can apply for amnesty, it does not mean that the death penalty will be abolished."

Li Yi checked the information on this aspect when the film was localized and modified, and it can be explained in the past.

"Then, is it too child's play for this case to be an unjust case? Is it a child's play to treat Hong Kong Island's judicial system? There are only certifications, and the rest are indirect evidence. The result can be pronounced directly?"

"Is it normal for the police on Hong Kong Island to have only one correctional officer in the prison? The death penalty does not require a review. Is everyone blind when it comes to human life?"

"Hong Kong Island Prison is even more outrageous. The prisoners in the prison can arrange condolence performances, hide their children, and teach the performers. They don't count the number of people well, and they don't even care if the children are lost. It's completely nonsense!"

"Execution of the death penalty actually allows the prisoners to come out and cry for injustice?"

"Such an obviously mentally handicapped person, but everyone is blind and can't see?"

"The defense lawyer helped threaten the client?"

"In court, the defense lawyer doesn't care. He is a lawyer, not a subordinate of the police chief. If he does this, his future will be lost?"
