tearjerker director

Chapter 837 Demon King Li is so terrifying

Nonsensical comedy is actually not unfamiliar to many audiences.

But nonsensical comedy does seem to have lost its market.

The few directors on Hong Kong Island who used to be the best at this aspect of comedy, most of the films they make now are ridiculed for being old-fashioned, lacking innovation, etc., and so on.

It's not that the audience is picky, but that the times are developing, and the public's ability to appreciate movies has been baptized by countless film and television works. Naturally, it is impossible for many bad movies to sell like in the early years.

In the past, it can be said that most of the time during the Spring Festival, there was no shortage of popular comedy movies, but the performance of comedy movies in recent years can be said to be getting worse and worse.

In many cases, they can only be accompanied by running.

For this reason, Li Yi's new film "A Chinese Journey to the West", a nonsensical comedy that can be said to be somewhat "retro", was naturally brought up by netizens to talk about it.

Thanks to Li Yi's never-ending defeat, most people are still looking forward to "A Chinese Journey to the West".

After all, Li Yi has created enough miracles.

So whether the glory of nonsensical comedy movies can be reproduced this time, we have to wait for the movie to be released.

Li Yi's original plan was to combine the two parts of "A Chinese Journey to the West", but in that case, the duration would be too long.

Perhaps a war blockbuster like "Changjin Lake" is close to three hours long, and you may not be too surprised, but a nonsensical comedy like "Journey to the West" is indeed not suitable for feature films.

Therefore, in the end, it was divided into two parts according to the original version.

The filming of "A Chinese Journey to the West" was officially announced in April.

The main reason is that although there are two continuous shootings in this movie, for Li Yi, there are basically few waste shots. In addition, the atmosphere of the crew is surprisingly good, so the progress of the filming far exceeded expectations.

Compared with the original version, Li Yi's version of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is obviously more than one grade higher in terms of special effects and clothing.

However, when it comes to what kind of box office and reputation this movie can get, Li Yi really has no idea.

After all, this film could be said to have hit the streets, and it was only later that it became popular again.

Fortunately, "A Chinese Journey to the West" appeared much later in this world than the other world. The reason why "A Chinese Journey to the West" hit the street and was even considered a bad movie by many people was that, The movie is a little too ahead of its time.

In those days, audiences liked straightforward movies, movies that didn’t require brains, instead of movies that people can understand without using their brains like now, so the selling point is It must be something else, not the plot.

After the film is finished, the post-production, although there are some special effects, is not particularly complicated, so the time required is not longer than other films.

All the production can be completed around May.

Then the announcement of the movie will also be put on the agenda.

"What? Two films released in succession?" Fang Dongbai and Mu Nanxing exclaimed in unison.

"That's right, "A Chinese Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" will be in July, and "A Chinese Journey to the West: Cinderella" will be in August." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Could it be too close? And in the summer time, if the filming is scheduled," Fang Dongbai frowned.

"Actually, this can be said to be one story, but it was split into two parts. Therefore, I hope it can be released together! At the same time, it will be conducive to publicity." Li Yi said.

In the two parts of "A Chinese Journey to the West", it can be said that there is still a big gap between the former one and the latter one.

Because many essential things are in Cinderella.

But the story would be incomplete without the previous one.

It is a big gimmick that two movies are released in succession.

"My plan is that when the media and film critics order special screenings, the two films will be broadcast directly, which will be conducive to word-of-mouth marketing." Li Yi said after thinking for a while.

"As for the issue of filming for the summer vacation, I believe that as long as "A Chinese Journey to the West" wins its reputation, it won't be a problem."

"But wouldn't this be too cruel?" Lou Jianjun suddenly asked with a smile.

"Yeah, one in July, one in August, and "The Water Gate Bridge of Changjin Lake" during the National Day holiday. It's just too cruel." Mu Nanxing couldn't help laughing.

"Shuimen Bridge of Changjin Lake" was decided last year to be released on this year's National Day.

If the two "A Chinese Journey to the West" are released consecutively in July and August, that is to say, from July to September, and from October to November, Li Yi will almost dominate the list.

Although they haven't watched "A Chinese Journey to the West", they still have confidence. Even if the movie is not as good as expected, at least, "A Chinese Journey to the West" is enough to sell a good box office even if it is based on Li Yi's previous capital.

Not to mention "Changjin Lake: Water Gate Bridge", the previous "Changjin Lake" has already set a new box office record for Chinese movies.

The sequel is even better, and there's no reason the box office should be worse than its predecessor.

So, thinking about it, I feel cruel!

In fact, when Oceanwide announced that the two parts of "A Chinese Journey to the West" will be released consecutively in July and August respectively, plus the National Day file of "Shuimen Bridge of Changjin Lake" that was set earlier, the whole The film and television circles were in an uproar.

But netizens are happy.

"Damn it, Director Dog is going to stop giving other people a way out this time?"

"The hottest summer holiday, plus the National Day holiday, one person monopolizes the two seasons, and there is no one else!"

"Other movies are trembling, but Demon King Li is really not a human this time!"

"Happy to hear and see. If there is any, this summer vacation and the National Day holiday are all settled, haha!"

And the fact is, at this moment, seeing this news about other movies originally ordered for the summer, the first reaction was, Director Dog, what a dog!
It can be said that many directors in China have experienced the fear of being dominated by the big devil Li. Because of this, no one wants to experience it again.

But this time, Demon King Li went too far.

If you want to occupy a schedule, it's fine, but in the end, he actually wants to appear in three movies in a row, how can people live?
Of course, it is not that exaggerated to say that it occupies the schedule. After all, "Journey to the West" is a nonsensical comedy, and as long as it is not of the same type in the same schedule, the impact will not be so huge.

The main reason is that the capacity of the summer file is large enough.

But it should be scolded. After all, it is true that the summer file capacity is large enough, but Li Yi's movies are usually not treated with common sense.

Although comedies, it seems that there have been no outstanding performances in recent years, let alone any dominant works.

But who can guarantee that "A Chinese Journey to the West" will not be such a movie?
There is only such a number one in the whole country!

Many big productions usually don't choose to go head-to-head with Li Yi's movies. After all, basically no one has really succeeded in suppressing him.
