Chapter 570: Strictly investigate Yang Yi (two-in-one)

"Excuse me, can I ask you some questions about the movie?"

Qi Haijie found a young-looking white couple in the cinema.

"Are you Chinese?" The blonde girl smiled beautifully.

"Yes." Qi Haijie was a little nervous, thinking that the other party had some prejudice against Chinese people.

However, after thinking about it, I guess not. How could I watch the movie "The Wandering Earth" if I have such prejudices? And persisted until the end.

"Are you reporters from China? OMG." The girl still looked surprised.

"Yes, can I ask you, how did you know about this movie and decide to watch it?" Qi Haijie thought to himself, he is a public account writer, let's just say he is half a self-media person, such a question , I should be able to get along with reporters a little bit.

Fortunately, the other party was more interested in being interviewed by him and did not ask for their press credentials.

"We chose this movie because we know it was shot by director Yi Yang, who is your Chinese director! My boyfriend and I both like his "Saw"," said the blonde girl.

"Really? He's Yi Yang? OMG!" Irene covered her mouth in wonder.

"But we also heard that this is a very interesting science fiction movie. We happened to be planning to watch the movie today, so I said we should watch this one, and Erin agreed." The white boyfriend added.

In fact, Hollywood also has many science fiction movies in this area. Even as early as the 1980s, there were many stories about the struggle between humans and artificial intelligence (or robots), which was a very popular theme.

"My favorite thing is what Liu said before he went to blow up Jupiter: 'Civilization without people is meaningless!' Thank God, for the first time, I thought this Chinese man was very handsome!" He was actually standing right next to his girlfriend People around me say so.

"Yes, he has also filmed many movies and TV series. He and his wife are both very outstanding actors in China."

"How did you feel after watching this movie? Can you give us your comments?" Qi Haijie continued to ask.

"I didn't pay attention to the actor's name, but he is actually the director? He directed and starred in this movie!" The white boyfriend also looked incredulous.

""The Wandering Earth" has already grossed more than 120 million in box office in North America alone? Why do you think it can break the overseas box office record of Director Li Ming's martial arts movie more than 20 years ago?"

They have seen Yang Yi's information before, but just like Chinese people think Westerners look similar, they are also face-blind and did not remember Yang Yi's appearance, let alone pay attention to this foreign language film when watching it. What's the name of the actor?

Now they know that after they were surprised, they really started to become interested in Yang Yi.

The blonde girl and her boyfriend looked at each other, but she had to speak first.

It turns out that these foreign audiences came here for Yang Yi's fame!

In fact, Qi Haijie and Jiang Yunwei watched it relatively late. When they knew the news, "The Wandering Earth" had been released in the United States for more than a week! In the beginning, it was really only fans of "Saw" who paid for it, but later many Western audiences were really attracted by the word-of-mouth online.

But it seems that there is no artificial intelligence like Moss that sent the earth to be fed to Jupiter, forcing billions of people to be destroyed in this disaster!
So it’s no wonder this white boyfriend is interested!

"I really like this movie. The scene is very shocking. The whole earth is frozen, and there are so many big guys like volcanoes pushing it to fly out of the solar system. It's really cool! It's a pity that I can’t understand Chinese and it’s very difficult to read the subtitles. It would be great if there were English dubbing.” The girl gave high praise.

Has the influence of "The Wandering Earth" spread to Westerners?

"There are a few lines in the movie that I really like. One line is from Moss, 'It is indeed a luxury for human beings to remain sane forever.' That kind of changed voice sounds like the whisper of the devil in hell!" The white boyfriend became excited as he spoke, "This movie should be more about artificial intelligence. I love watching the battle between humans and AI!"

And Erin looked at him with a smile, as if she agreed with what he said.

"You may not know yet, but this Liu is your favorite director Yi Yang. In addition to being a very powerful director who has won an Oscar, he is also an excellent actor." Qi Haijie said to them with a smile. .

It seems that I will look up the information about this Chinese director when I have time back home!
The overseas box office performance of "The Wandering Earth" gradually came to prominence. By the time the domestic media noticed, its North American box office performance had already reached third place last week!
"What? It took in more than 2 million in box office in one week? Only ranked behind "The Barbarians " and "Spring Train"? The more than million is still in US dollars!"

In fact, both Qi Haijie and Jiang Yunwei had some guesses. Due to the popularity of the two "Saw" movies, Yang Yi is very popular in the United States. As mentioned before, their classmates at the University of Washington have asked them about Yang Yi. This kind of commercial film is indeed more influential than any award Yang Yi wins.

"Who can tell me how much the global box office of "The Wandering Earth" is? Isn't it shown in many places in France and Germany? In North America, it's more than 100 million. If you add in other countries, the box office results will explode."

The relevant news attracted many self-media reports. After their hype, "The Wandering Earth" once again became a hot search topic, and movie fans were extremely excited.

"Awesome, how come the little broken ball is so powerful? It's so popular even in a beautiful country! I thought Director Yang made a movie for us Chinese people, but foreigners couldn't accept this idea!"

"Isn't it all the box office contributed by overseas Chinese and international students? I heard that many international students bought tickets to watch it."

"How is it possible that they can buy more than 100 million box office? Why have I never seen them support other directors' movies like this?"

"I read the movie viewing reports written by some international students. They all said that the attendance rate was very high, and many foreigners were willing to watch Little Broken Ball!" "The overseas box office of "The Wandering Earth" is relatively high, which is consistent with its film schedule. Relationship! "The Wandering Earth" was screened in more than 3,000 theaters across North America. Our other overseas films were only shown in hundreds or even dozens of theaters. How can it be compared with "The Wandering Earth"?"

"Yes, after all, Yang Yi is relatively well-known abroad. The success of "Saw" and "Saw 2" has cultivated a sufficient overseas audience base for him, so it is normal to have more films. If other domestic films can also have The film schedule of "The Wandering Earth" is such that our movies can knock Hollywood out of the water!"

"Is it difficult to admit that "The Wandering Earth" is excellent? "Broken Ball" is just very good-looking. I asked some colleagues and neighbors in the United States, and they all said they were very interested in this science fiction movie made in China, although they were not very interested in it. They are satisfied with the arrangement of the Chinese astronauts stealing the show in the movie, but they really like our special effects and Director Yang’s imagination.”

Although there are some controversial voices, more people are excitedly looking forward to the final box office performance of "The Wandering Earth".

"Speaking of which, Little Broken Ball has already grossed more than 100 million yuan in overseas box office, which is equivalent to 89 billion yuan. Can we break the record in the future and get 10 billion box office including our domestic movie box office?"

"It's possible for Little Breaking Ball to break director Li Ming's record. It is now infinitely close to the second place in the overseas box office list of Chinese-language films. When the box office of other countries is added together, it is likely to reach more than 200 million before it is released. But if you say it can reach a global box office of 10 billion yuan, I think it is difficult, the gap is a bit big."

"Don't be too ambitious. Small Broken Ball can have a box office of more than 200 million, surpassing "The Legend of Earth" directed by Li Ming. I feel happy! "The Legend of Earth" was filmed nearly thirty years ago. Movies, and Director Li Ming shoots a style that is not popular with Chinese people, purely catering to Western audiences. Unlike Yang Yi, he just makes movies that we Chinese people like to watch, and then creates a cultural export!"

The overseas box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exploded, benefiting not only "The Wandering Earth" which is still in domestic theaters, but also "In the Name of the People" which is about to be launched!
After a month of preparation, the filming of "In the Name of the People" finally started in Beijing. At the opening ceremony, Yang Yi, who took two days to rush back to the capital to support Jin Longbo, was inevitably "besieged" by reporters.

Although he asked reporters to focus on the TV series, they still refused to give up.

It was not easy to catch Yang Yi once, and it was still on the hot search list. How could we not seize the opportunity to interview Yang Yi and make him popular?
"Okay, let me give a unified response to the box office performance of "The Wandering Earth". I will only say this this time. I won't ask about "The Wandering Earth" later, okay? Today we are in "In the Name of the People" At the start-up and press conference, we have to leave time and content to "In the Name of the People", which is also the first anti-corruption TV series that we at Mumu Film and Television have produced with great care."

Yang Yi had no choice but to give in half a step and respond to the questions they just raised.

"I really didn't expect the movie "The Wandering Earth" to be so successful before I made it. How could I have imagined that the domestic box office of other movies I made before was only 3.2 billion at most, which is so far behind, you say Isn’t it? It’s impossible for me to predict the market’s reaction! But someone has to do it, shoot Chinese science fiction, shoot Chinese blockbusters, and shoot our Chinese story.”

Before Yang Yi finished speaking, many actors, staff, and even reporters eagerly applauded him.

"Just now, a journalist friend said that "The Wandering Earth" invested 500 million yuan. Was there a lot of pressure at that time? I didn't feel a lot of pressure, but our investors may feel that there was. After all, I have never made a cost-effective film before. For such a big movie, many people still think that what I am best at doing is to make big movies with a small budget and make a lot of money at the box office."

Yang Yi continued, and Le Zehan laughed beside him. He thought Yang Yi was going to drag Mr. Luo, Mr. Zhang and other old enemies out to whip the corpse again.

But Yang Yi didn't mean this.

"So our investors felt a lot of pressure at the time. Just out of their trust in me, they still generously donated a lot of money to support "The Wandering Earth". Otherwise, everyone would not be able to watch "The Wandering Earth" now. The movie appeared. Really, I think the most grateful thing is them, as well as all the actors, staff, and special effects team behind our movie! We have a very long list at the end of the film. If you want to watch it in the future, please don’t bother to wait. Wait a minute and take a look at their names.”

What Yang Yi said was quite sensational.

"Director Yang, if there were no investors like Magic City Pictures, Desert Pictures, and Yueshi at that time, would you really not have insisted on making the movie "The Wandering Earth"?" A reporter stood up and asked.

Yang Yi originally didn't want to answer, but he still liked this question.

"I should still be able to take pictures. Feifei and I would have made the most of 500 million by ourselves! Isn't that how much money we earn is used to do these things? To pursue our dreams and realize the value of life. But in that case , the effect of "The Wandering Earth" may not be what everyone sees now. Our investors support this movie for us, not just with funds."

Yang Yi's words caused the whole audience to laugh.

Some people laughed at him for inadvertently saying that Versailles, with an investment of 500 million, can be said. The two parents-in-law, Yang Yi and Li Mengfei, are indeed the richest people in the entertainment industry!

Some also laughed at the contradiction in what he said. Thinking about it later, it seemed a bit reluctant to try to make up for it.

However, everyone didn't care. Yang Yi was able to talk to them so much for the first time, and he must have become popular!
After being satisfied, the reporters finally began to focus on the drama "In the Name of the People".

Speaking of which, this drama is also very heavy-hitting!
Coming to the opening ceremony, in addition to many domestic movie kings, TV kings, and national first-class actors, there were also various domestic film and television industry bosses with official positions, as well as leaders of the top XXXX Film and Television Center and Golden X Film and Television Center!

Seeing such a strong lineup, as the screenwriter of this drama, Yang Yi, who is very "low-key", was inevitably questioned by reporters.

Why don't you direct this show?

As a new director, can Jin Longbo be good at filming such a large-scale TV series?

"In the Name of the People" is an anti-corruption drama, and Yang Yi can be considered a cross-genre and even cross-industry creation. Can he continue the achievements like the previous "Hurry"?
In the first two questions, Yang Yi was able to joke and joke with Jin Longbo, using practical actions to show reporters his recognition and confidence in Jin Longbo.

For the latter question, the leader of the Film and Television Center picked up the microphone.

"I think I can answer this question for Yang Yi. When the script written by Yang Yi was first sent to me, I was surprised that it could be written by a director who is so successful in making science fiction movies. Anti-corruption script? The plot is shocking and explicit, and it even makes me think there is a problem in it. Should we ask our comrades on the anti-corruption front to investigate Yang Yi to see if there is anything wrong with him? But when I think about it, it’s not right, Yang Yi is an excellent director, an excellent screenwriter in our country, and the best actor in Berlin, but he has never worked within our system."

This answer was perfect, not only making the audience laugh again, but also making many netizens who follow these news become curious.

What a wonderful TV series it would be if Yang Yi was almost severely investigated!
