tearjerker director

Chapter 563 Journey to Sicily
The market can accept children-themed war films like "War Meridian".

As for this movie, according to incomplete statistics, the combination of parents taking their children to watch the movie occupies a relatively high proportion.

This also shows that this market segment, which has been neglected all the time, actually has great potential.

The same is true.

In fact, the movie trend led by Li Yi has always influenced domestic movies.

For example, Li Yi's movies basically have adults and children.

For this reason, many feature films, mainly tear-jerking and sensational films, basically imitate Li Yi's films.

A movie like "War Meridian" can be so popular, so is there room for other movies of the same type to be manipulated?
The answer is yes!

However, Li Yi relaxed at this time.

The main reason is that Li Yi doesn't like to attend various banquets and the like.

It can be said that from this point of view, he is also an alternative among directors.

However, he also has such capital. After all, other directors who want to make movies, no matter because of risk sharing considerations or financial needs, seldom decide their own movies by themselves.

But Li Yi was different.

First of all, he himself can be said to be the only one in the Huaguo film industry.

Li Yi's movies have always been synonymous with blockbusters, so no matter what type of movie he is, he basically doesn't need to worry about funding.

Even if he just has an idea to spread, countless people will come to give money on their own initiative.

In terms of distribution and channels, it can be said that Oceanwide Film and Television was supported abruptly by Li Yi.

Today's Oceanwide Film and Television has directly acquired Oceanwide Cinemas, and the two companies have merged into one.

It is also a private film and television company that ranks among the top five domestic distribution strengths, and Mu Nanxing and Fang Dongbai almost offer Li Yi as a god. Basically, as long as Li Yi raises it, they will rarely disagree. of.

Let's talk about connections.

The entertainment circle is a big trap and a small circle. For many directors, they cannot do without a certain circle.

But Li Yi's identity made him a natural core figure in several circles.

First of all, the Hong Kong circle. Although Li Yi is far away, it is undeniable that his identity as a native Hong Kong filmmaker makes him a natural member of the Hong Kong circle.

In the beginning, people like He Tiancheng could reject him, but now, Li Yicai ranks first in this circle no matter in terms of personal capital or personal strength and fame.

At the same time, Li Yi graduated from the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy. Naturally, his brothers and sisters will definitely have a much closer relationship with him than ordinary people.

The so-called fellowship!

Coupled with the fact that Li Yi has made so many movies, won so many stars, and supported so many new-generation directors, it can be said that he really doesn't need to deliberately manage his contacts anymore.

The most enviable thing about Li Yi's movies is that so far, it can be said that there are very few movies that have invested more than [-] million yuan, but what about the box office?
That return on investment is simply blinding!
The investment of Li Yi's highest-grossing films basically did not exceed [-] million yuan.

On the contrary, the animation film led by Li Yi is his real film with the highest investment.

The follow-up promotion of the movie actually doesn't need Li Yi to do anything anymore.

After the seven-day box office broke out in the National Day file, it naturally began to weaken, and the box office plummeted.

This is even more true for "War Meridian". After all, the National Day holiday is over, not only adults have to go to work, but students also have to go to school.

The number of moviegoers has dropped sharply, and the box office has been halved and halved, and it has already fallen below the [-] million mark.

This is still the base of "War Meridian" is relatively large, like several other movies, it has fallen so much that people doubt life.

Sicily, Italy.

It was already the end of October when Li Yi and Xu Nannan arrived.

The reason why Sicily was chosen for this trip is also related to the movie "Paradise Cinema" that Li Yi once shelved.

Of course, Sicily is also a tourist attraction in Italy.

The climate here is pleasant. In Sicily in October, the average temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius.

People often use many beautiful adjectives to praise Sicily, such as "three islands of the sun and olives", "island filled with the fragrance of apricot blossoms", "island of citrus" and so on.The Sicily in the film and television drama adds more romance and mystery to this strange and remote island.

For Xu Nannan, wherever he travels is actually the same, the main thing is to be with Li Yi.

Sicily is adjacent to Greece in the east and Carthage in the south, just at the crossroads of Mediterranean culture. The ancient Greeks who first came to the island were from the mainland of Greece. In order to establish the so-called Great Greek Circle and consolidate their sphere of influence, The Greeks established several city-states in Sicily.During the 13th century, the Spanish Aragonese family took over and began a long period of colonial oppression under Spanish rule.The Sicilians who have survived all kinds of colonial rule but still survived have developed a spirit of perseverance and tenacity that is not afraid of difficulties, which adds a more brilliant stroke to the humanistic color of Sicily today.

The main filming location in "Paradise Cinema" is actually a village in Sicily, Palazzo Adriano!The Chinese translation is Adriano Palace!

When Li Yi and Xu Nannan were traveling together in Sicily, they asked many locals before they found the filming location of "Paradise Cinema", the Adriano Palace!

Of course, there is no "Paradise Cinema" in this world, so there is no "Paradise Cinema" here. To be honest, Li Yi is a little disappointed.

After all, the movie "Paradise Cinema" can be said to be a love letter to the movie.

"Why are you looking for this place?" Xu Nannan asked puzzled.

The main reason is that there is nothing particularly special about this village. It can even be said that it is very inconspicuous in Sicily.

No one in the outside world knows about this place at all.

However, after Li Yi came to Sicily, his first destination was here.

Li Yi shook his head, there were some things that he didn't know how to explain to Xu Nannan.

Afterwards, Li Yi and Xu Nannan left this memory, the main filming location of "Paradise Cinema" in another world.

The next stop is another filming location of "Paradise Cinema", the small town of Cefalu on Sicily.

The familiar feeling that he didn't find in the Adriano Palace, as a result, Li Yi did not expect to give him a surprise in this small town of Cefalu.

There is really a "Paradise Cinema" here!
Li Yi was as excited and surprised as a child who found his favorite toy.

Although Xu Nannan couldn't understand why Li Yi liked an old movie theater in a foreign country so much, her emotions were always easy to infect the people around her.

Even Xu Nannan was quite curious about this relatively old movie theater.

What is the secret here that can make Li Yi so ecstatic?
