Chapter 285 Li Yi: I Never Shoot Tragedy

Ping Xiaosi has reason to be angry.

After all, if other movies won the box office championship, why didn't the media report and tout them overwhelmingly?

But when it came to "Young Times", the media reports became like this——

""Young Times 2" won the daily box office champion, which is the industry's sorrow!!" - The Beijing News
""Young Times 2" counterattacked "The King of Comedy" and won the daily box office championship. Is it really because the audience's taste has deteriorated?" ——Film Weekly

"Bad movies sell well, "Youth 2" was accused of "cheating" children's money, which is not a real skill!" - Penguin Entertainment

So Ping Xiaosi cried again.

When he was interviewed by the media, he said aggrievedly: ""Young Times 2" obviously won the daily box office champion, but it was targeted. This is a kind of discrimination. Discrimination!"

"What did I do wrong? I just made the movie and told the story to those who like my movie, and they are willing to buy tickets to watch the movie. How did it become a 'cheat'?"

"Young Times 2 was originally filmed for young people. What do you want from me? Do you have to see me fail to be happy?"

However, what made Ping Xiaosi want to cry even more was that he cried all the time, and went to the battle himself to complain.

then
There is no use.

Because the next day starts.

The box office of "The King of Comedy" directly overwhelmed "Age of Youth 2"!
On the day of National Day, the box office of "The King of Comedy" rose by as much as 50%, and it reported a receipt of 6300 million that day!
On the other hand, "Young Times 2" immediately started its diving journey at the box office, reporting 4200 million yuan that day!
Correspondingly, the word-of-mouth of "The King of Comedy" has become popular, and the ratings have risen again and again.

And many movie fans posted their movie tickets, and many of them went to see it a second time.

On the other hand, the word-of-mouth of "Youth Era 2" has not continued to decline, but the problem is that, except for the fans of the four fans and those traffic stars, few people pay attention.

Film critics don't have anyone to write a review for "Young Times 2", even scolding seems to be lazy.

And media reports are rare.

This kind of differential treatment made both Ping Xiaosi and Gao Le Film and Television want to cry.

In fact, movies are really not afraid of being scolded. Isn't "Age of Youth 1: The Age of Rebellion" just under the scolding, but the box office is rising steadily?
But this time, no one scolded them anymore, no, it should be said that fewer people scolded them.

It seems that I have lost interest in this movie.

It's the third day of the show, October 10.

"The King of Comedy" continues to move forward steadily, with a daily box office of 6500 million.

But "Age of Youth [-]" finally ushered in a big drop.

It continued to decline steadily that day, only closing at 3300 million!
After the first week, the weekly box office of "The King of Comedy" reached 4.5 million.

The weekly box office of "Youth 1.56" is only [-] million.

You know, "Youth Era [-]" broke [-] million in four days!

But when it came to the second part, it turned out to be broken directly in the middle.

Ping Xiaosi has been very active on the Internet recently, and he also participated in roadshows and promotions in person.

Every game can attract countless fans to the scene, the scene is called a lively scene, but it is of no use.

The drop at the box office simply can't stop.

On the other hand, "The King of Comedy", in terms of publicity, especially the road show, is actually far less popular than "Young Times [-]", but the box office is extremely strong!

Ping Xiaosi is gone!
Gaole Film and Television is also dead here.

Ping Xiaosi regretted so much, why did he mess with Li Yi, the big devil.

In fact, from the time the movie was released to the present, Li Yi was actually somewhat surprised by the audience's acceptance of "The King of Comedy".

It's just too high.

When the National Day file passes, the market will inevitably start to slump.

At this time, publicity becomes very important.

Therefore, Li Yi once again accepted the invitation of the column team of "Things About Movies".

In fact, because "The King of Comedy" has been interpreted in various ways, many people want to interview Li Yi, because the audience is extremely curious, what did Li Yi, the initiator, think?

At the same time, "The King of Comedy" also has many mysteries, which need to be solved by director Li Yi.

For example, why is the name of the movie "The King of Comedy", which obviously has no direct connection with the movie, and for example, the abrupt scene at the end of the movie, why did Li Yi arrange it that way?Etc., etc.

This time, Li Yi brought the leading actor Zhou Xing, the heroine Lian Qingqing, the female supporting role Wu Yongqian, and Chen Weijie who played a cameo role in "Things About Movies" together!
Of course, Chen Weijie was purely helping.

"Things About Movies" can be said to be Li Yi's most popular variety show, and it is also the show that Li Yi will appear in almost every movie.

After some routine opening remarks, we officially entered the theme.

"Director Li, the most discussed scene on the Internet is the undercover scene at the end of the movie "The King of Comedy", and this scene is indeed a bit abrupt, so I wonder if Director Li can clear up your confusion. What is the original intention of the play?" Fang Nan asked this question straightforwardly as soon as he came up.

This question is indeed the most discussed and interpreted in "The King of Comedy" at present.

Not only the audience at the scene, but also Fang Nan himself, including Chen Weijie and others looked at Li Yi curiously.

Li Yi smiled and spread his hands and said, "It's actually not important, right? In fact, I have always felt that what the director thinks after the movie is shot is not important, is it?"

"But there must be an answer, right?" Fang Nan insisted.

"Do you want to know?" Fang Nan asked the audience again.

"Think!" The audience shouted cooperatively.

"Well, anyone who has watched my previous movies knows that I really don't like movies that bring despair!" Li Yi said with a smile.

The fans under "Yi" all questioned in unison.

Everyone was probably scolding Director Li Yigou in their hearts.

Li Yi didn't take it seriously, but turned his head to look at the audience below and said, "Actually, you really misunderstood me."

"I'll analyze it one by one. In "The Gift of Room No. [-]", although the father in it died of injustice, have you ever thought about it? In fact, the ending is very perfect, because after many years, his favorite daughter became I found a lawyer and successfully rehabilitated him. I believe that if he was still alive, he would also be smiling happily, because his daughter has grown up and lived a good life! Therefore, this can be said to be a tragedy. But it doesn't make people despair, does it?"

The audience at the scene couldn't help but nod their heads, that's really the case.

""Mom Loves Me Again" is actually the same. Although the process is very bitter, the ending is also happy. The mother found her son, and he has grown up to become a successful doctor's son, and the son also found parting. Eighteen years of mother, I believe that such an ending is definitely not hopeless."

""The Story of Hachiko the Faithful Dog", although the professor has left, although the waiting process is very bitter, the same ending is not hopeless."

""My Daughter's Wedding Dress" and "My Sassy Girlfriend" don't need to say more, right?"

"So, everyone really misunderstood me. Maybe my movies have tragic elements, but they are always hopeful, aren't they?"

"Papa papa!" There was roaring applause at the scene.

Because Li Yi, who was scolded as a dog director, his movies are indeed not simply classified as tragedies.
