tearjerker director

Chapter 500 There must be a reason for something abnormal

"The Truman Show" and "Suyuan" won awards together. For China, for the Cannes Film Festival, and for the literary and artistic film industry, it is a matter worthy of a big book.

But in fact, I don’t know if it’s because two consecutive movies won awards, and they were double-egg golden palms, which made Li Yida feel like he came to the sage’s time twice in a row. Twice, old iron, so, Li Yi On the contrary, Yi felt a sense of emptiness.

But the media and movie fans obviously won't let Li Yi go so easily.

Especially the media.

While Li Yi is still abroad, many media have already sent "acquaintances" to invite Li Yi to appear on the show, interview, and even come up with a special program featuring Li Yi.

After all, as the double egg yolk winner at the Cannes Film Festival, he single-handedly undertook all the headlines in the entertainment industry this week.

Li Yi also knew that they would not let him go if they didn't accept an interview.

Moreover, "Suyuan" does need publicity. This movie is different from "The Truman Show". "Suyuan" is not only a realistic film. , the very uncomfortable kind.

If such a movie can get a high box office, unless the movie theater gives enough movies
But this is obviously impossible. The fundamental principle of film scheduling in theaters is that movies can make money!
Even if "Suyuan" won the Cannes Palme d'Or, they would have their own criteria for judging.

This type of film is destined to be impossible to be accepted by the public, that is, because this film was shot by Li Yi, that is, because this film won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, all these add up to make this film Movies have the potential to make people see "big sales"!

But this "big sale" is only relative.

Compared with other literary films, the promotion of "Suyuan" is indeed good enough.

After the award ceremony.

As the biggest "winner" of this year's Cannes Film Festival, a media meeting is essential.

After all, after winning the award, I still have to do some interviews with reporters.

I also expect these people to return to China to help brag!Help to promote the movie.

Because of this year's Cannes Film Festival, other people were actually quite embarrassed. The two crews came together and won 4 awards, but it turned out that Li Yi was the only one who stepped on the horse.

"Director Li, after "The Truman Show", you continued to shoot the literary film "Suyuan". Does that mean that the next director Li's films will be closer to literary films?" A reporter asked.

"No! "Suyuan" is actually just an accidental product! I said this before." Li Yi shook his head.

"So in the future, will we continue to shoot realistic-themed films like "Suyuan"?" A reporter asked again.

"Of course, why not? Actually, I've always thought, in fact, I've always thought that realistic works are one of the most meaningful types of movies on the road of film!"

"For example, "Suyuan", we focus on the subject of minors being sexually (harmoniously) assaulted. We just hope that through this movie, everyone can pay attention to this group. If it can bring about some good changes, then I think this That’s why we made this kind of film in the first place.”

"So do you have any expectations for the box office of "Su Yuan"?" A reporter asked.

Li Yi couldn't help but smiled and said: "For a movie like "Suyuan", we don't have any expectations in terms of box office, because this is not a movie that can make you laugh out loud, nor is it a movie that can make you watch it all." Afterwards, the moody movie, so, I don't think there's much to expect at the box office."

"In itself, the filming of "Su Yuan" was not for the box office, but I just hope that through the film "Su Yuan", I can tell you something, something that really happened."

"Actually, the story of "Suyuan" has a fantastic ending. I'm afraid the real situation will be worse, and there will be no psychological counselor. We often only pay attention to how long the perpetrator has been punished, but we don't know Forget about paying attention to the mental health of the victim!"

The Cannes Film Festival is over.

Don't look at Li Yi being blown away, he has double egg yolks, and he won four awards alone, and two of them are Palme d'Or.

But in fact, it is foreseeable that even with the blessing of the Palme d'Or, the box office of "Su Yuan" will not be much higher
However, sometimes, some things are just so unexpected.

"Oriental Image? Released with a guarantee of [-] million on Hong Kong Island? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Li Yi looked at Lou Jianjun suspiciously.

If you say it's "The Truman Show" or other commercial blockbusters, maybe it's nothing, but with a movie like "Suyuan", are you fucking kidding me?
Twenty million?How many years has it been since a single Hong Kong movie has surpassed [-] million yuan? How about expecting a realistic movie?
"Of course, they have conditions." Lou Jianjun said with a smile.

"What conditions?" Li Yi asked curiously, but he wanted to know why the other party would rather lose money and do guaranteed issuance.

"Postponing the release of "Su Yuan" on Hong Kong Island!" Lou Jianjun said.

"What's the reason?" Li Yi asked.

"The young owner of Dongfang Video, Xiang Nan's debut novel "Young Is Crazy" will be released." Lou Jianjun said.

"You mean, the other party offered a guaranteed release contract of [-] million yuan just to make room for his son's work? Do you think it's possible?" Li Yi said disapprovingly.

"However, this price was indeed offered by the other party, and it was personally offered by Xiang Wenbin from Dongfang Ying." Lou Jianjun shrugged.

"Besides, anyway, the [-] million guaranteed minimum contract is only for the Hong Kong Island market. For us, it doesn't matter what other goals they have, doesn't it?" Lou Jianjun said with a smile.

"It's true to say so, but I always feel that something is wrong?"

"Think about it, even if Xiang Nan's first film is going to be released, Dongfang Video will make room for this film, but it won't be "Su Yuan", right?

After all, you know that this movie is not a commercial movie, and it is difficult to have a particularly high box office. "

"And it's just a market on Hong Kong Island. Let alone [-] million, it's [-] million box office. I think it's enough, so there must be something we don't know about it." Li Yi shook his head and said.

It's not that people don't accept money from others, but because, whether it's Li Yi or Lou Jianjun, they all know that there is no free lunch in this world.

Why did the other party give such a big gift?And the key is, it feels like giving away money!
So, if there is no trick in it, how is it possible?

"Twenty million guarantee, tsk tsk, I always feel that the other party is spending money to buy "Suyuan" to postpone the release. Why are you worried about the release of "Suyuan"?"
