The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 290 You Tell Me This Is a Romance Movie?

[Unbelievable, this is the most poetic trailer I have ever seen, in just 20 seconds he caught my gaze, my full attention!I feel like a kid! 】

[It's strange, I've never seen a similar movie before, the scene of the space station being hit and smashed is quite enjoyable, and the heroine is floating alone in space, which is really suspenseful]

【Once again, Chen exceeded my expectations. I still remember the romantic kiss at the end of "Source Code". I am looking forward to what kind of story he will bring this time】

[I didn't expect much from the trailer, but Chen is always good at creating miracles, and his movies are usually very interesting]

[Frankly speaking, the trailer gave me the feeling of "how can this be made into a movie?", the whole movie is in space, people can't connect with these characters, I really can't think of the next story How could it happen, but it really aroused my curiosity, and I would like to go to the theater to see the follow-up plot after the movie is released]

【Huaguo space station... To be honest, the whole background is quite ridiculous. Why do Huaguo people dare to make such a movie? Don’t they know that they will make themselves laugh like a clown】

[Haha, I caught another third brother, and I can smell curry when I see your confident headshot. Let's take a look at the dramas in your own country first, and you still have the face to say that we... 】

Lu Xiao browsed the translation of external comments posted in the post bar. Sometimes he felt as if he was being praised for the praise comments, and sometimes he was depressed by the negative comments, wishing to go to the external network to meet in person.

As a fan of Chen Jingxing, he still pays close attention to the topic of large-scale publicity of "Gravity" overseas.

Of course, the overseas response to the announcement of the film was mainly due to the domestic media's concentrated reports, which attracted the attention of fans.

In fact, the overseas publicity of "Gravity" has surprised the domestic media and other film and television companies. This has far exceeded the momentum of "Source Code" overseas publicity last year, and the TV network has fully covered it.

And the most important thing is that soon "Gravity" announced that it will be released in the North American market on July 7th. This date is exactly the same as the domestic one. Leaving aside the time difference of more than ten hours, it also means that this movie It was released simultaneously in China and the United States.

Coupled with the successively announced release times in some Asia-Pacific countries, it looks like a Hollywood blockbuster.

Coupled with the news that DreamWorks announced a partnership with Universal Pictures, there is no better moment than this moment to make Chinese people realize that DreamWorks has become an internationally renowned film company.

However, most of the media and netizens are basically just watching the excitement. Only the domestic film and television companies know how shocking the successive news is.

You must know that after "Gravity" announced the North American release date, the comic film "Jortunheim", which was originally scheduled to be released on July 7, announced the news of the delay.

This shows that in the eyes of major Hollywood studios, "Gravity" will pose a relatively large threat to their summer blockbusters, so a planned comic film was squeezed out.

When did the Hollywood moguls become so easy to talk to?
Of course, even those in the industry don't know much about Chen Jingxing's hemorrhage at the charity dinner and the inside story of his game with other big factories.

Later, the news that DreamWorks will cooperate with Universal to make a movie made everyone a little confused, and fell into a greater mood of envy, jealousy and hatred.

For Chen Jingxing, it may be the price he paid for being able to get Hollywood major companies to participate in the investment and production, but for most domestic film companies, it is a great thing that they can't wait for their turn.

Being able to directly borrow Hollywood's film industry and achieve overseas distribution is something that many people dream of. Even though few so-called co-productions are successful, they cannot stop the eyes of colleagues. Everyone feels that they are special. .

As for the media, the two companies' cooperation statement was distorted and simplified by them to say that DreamWorks will also start making gorgeous co-productions.

The reputation of co-productions in China has always been bad, so for DreamWorks to partner with Hollywood companies to produce co-productions, netizens reacted quite negatively and puzzled.

It's basically something like [I didn't expect that Chen Jingxing, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, will also make a co-production film? ], 【Qingliu DreamWorks can't help but make money too? 】,【When Zhang Yimou was filming "The Great Wall", I couldn't figure it out. I thought his brain was kicked, and DreamWorks started again. Is co-production a trend now?Or is it a new model of washmoney? 】

Of course, there are people who have a little understanding of Hollywood to defend DreamWorks, thinking that "Gravity" should be able to be scheduled for the North American summer, and they also squeezed out the price of a blockbuster comic book. Not only is the Chinese market deep, but the North American market is also deep. Also deep, it is definitely not easy for a foreign film like "Gravity" to make such a big splash in North America. It is probably some kind of deal with Universal Pictures.

And Chen Jingxing's movie fans, including Lu Xiao, naturally agree with this statement, saying that DreamWorks siphons money, is there any successful co-production example?What's so good about this money?

However, while defending DreamWorks, it is inevitable that there will be some heartache.

The "golden body" of DreamWorks is afraid that it will be destroyed once. Can co-productions make good movies?They have confidence in Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks, but they have no confidence in Hollywood companies and producers.

Movies are all about completion. If it is produced by the Huaguo team, it may be able to produce good works, and the Hollywood team can also produce good works, but they cannot be mixed and matched. In the end, there will be four differences.

"What are you looking at? Have you bought a ticket?"

The girlfriend's voice interrupted Lu Xiao's complaints under a post about "DreamWorks and Universal are going to cooperate to make a movie".

"I bought it, just finished buying it..."Signal: Mirage" giant screen hall, golden seats in the golden area!"

"...Didn't I ask you to buy "Love in Seattle"?"

"Hand trembling for a while, I made a mistake..."

"It hurts, it hurts, the heroine has mercy!"

Lu Xiao paid the price for a piece of fat on his waist that twirled around for his momentary shaking of hands.

He and his girlfriend Yu Xiaoling are college classmates. After graduation, they both stayed in the capital. There was a conflict in the capital, and the two of them might start talking about marriage.

"Why are my hands shaking?" Yu Xiaoling pretended to be surprised and then looked at her boyfriend with a heavy face: "Look, I've wrung out a finger oil. When I was with you, even a little fat on your waist was gone." No, alas, sad!"

"...You kept saying that I was a skinny monkey, and it felt like putting my arm on the pillow. It would be better if I was fatter. You must have turned your face too quickly."

"Don't try to change the subject! Why did you disobey Yi's order?"

"It seems that I didn't change the subject first... Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong, can you watch "Love in Seattle" tomorrow? You can watch "Mirage" today and "Seattle" tomorrow, but the order is changed... …It’s not that you don’t know if he’s a fan, or a bar owner, if I watch “Mirage” tomorrow, I won’t even dare to go online today, those bastards will spoil me for sure!”

Yu Xiaoling sneered and said, "Why didn't I know that "Mirage" is Chen Jingxing's movie? Isn't his movie "Gravity"?"

Lu Xiao defended, "It's also a DreamWorks movie, and Chen Jingxing is indeed on the list of screenwriters for "Mirage". It can be considered his movie even if rounded."

Yu Xiaoling pinched her boyfriend's neck and shook: "I just want to watch some sweet romance movies. My heart has not been nourished by sweet romance movies for a long time. Is this too much to ask? Ah? Is it too much?"

"Help, murder my husband!" Lu Xiao struggled to put his girlfriend in his arms, "Ahem, it hasn't been long, didn't you drag me to watch "Murder in Time Like Water" on Valentine's Day? "

"Don't mention this movie, my psychological shadow has not subsided yet."

"I remembered, "Mirage" is also a love movie!"

"...When I haven't watched "Signal"? Isn't this a science fiction movie?"

"Sci-fi love! Look!" Lu Xiao showed the homepage of the ticket-buying website "Mirage": "Here, the tags say science fiction, suspense, and romance. Is this also a romance movie?"

National Film International Studios, ticket sales and waiting hall.

"Does this look like a love movie?" Yu Xiaoling looked at the poster of "Signal: Mirage" - only the heroine Zhao Liying stood there in a sweater with a dignified look, and the old-fashioned vacuum tube TV screen frame was used as the background of infinite nesting dolls , reminded her of a scene at the end of the second episode of "Black Mirror".

"I don't even have a shadow of a boy, are you falling in love with yourself?"

Yu Xiaoling looked at the other side of the poster of "Love in Seattle" where the intimate retro photo stickers of the male and female protagonists face to face filled the four grids.

Also, after the announcement of "Love in Seattle" came out on the radio, the queue at the ticket gate was full of couples.

"Some couples line up to watch love movies, and I'll watch suspense movies with you. Alas, I'm so envious of them."

Lu Xiao could only comfort his girlfriend: "Today is not Valentine's Day, nor is it any special anniversary, and it will be the same tomorrow." He also dare not say that "Mirage" is a romantic movie. The poster of Love Element looks like this?
What he didn't know was that this was actually DreamWorks' promotional tone, and it was also the opinion shared by Chen Jingxing and director Tian Xinye.

The hero of this movie is part of the suspense and surprise. The love element of the hero and heroine is insignificant in terms of proportion, but the final effect is enough to make the audience admire. Prepare for a plot twist.

Therefore, the audience is not allowed to realize the identity of the hero before or even during the movie, or even blurring the identity of the hero itself is a prerequisite for creating a good movie-watching experience.

Of course, this is also because the IP of "Signal" already has enough appeal, and the brand blessings of DreamWorks and Chen Jingxing, so "Mirage" can be announced in a half-concealed way, just to let the audience get a better experience. Movie experience.

If there is no such foundation, it is asking for trouble to engage in such half-covered and mysterious announcements.

Just like the first version of the trailer released before the release of the movie "Signal" two years ago, Chen Jingxing leaked all the biggest selling points and gimmicks at once.
