China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 565: One sentence of evaluation is worth 500 million! 【-in-】

The "young couple" stayed in Shengjing for another day. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Yi returned to the capital with Liu Yifei, who had some unfinished business. The two of them had an event to attend. It was a debt of gratitude that was not easy to recommend.

Anyway, I have to fly to Jiangcheng tomorrow on the fifth day of the lunar month. There is not much difference between walking from Shengjing and Beijing. It doesn't matter if I can go back to their small home and stay overnight.

That night, the two of them dressed up carefully and arrived at the extremely familiar event site - Starry Sky Image International Cinema.

A movie promotion event will be held here. Brother Cheng Long has just released "Little Soldiers", and Sun Yi and Liu Yifei are the guests invited by the brother to watch the movie, or to praise it.

The movie was officially released on the first day of the Lunar New Year and was the only movie released during the entire Spring Festival.

At this time, there is no Spring Festival in the true sense of the future. Many film and television companies and theater chain executives take it for granted that during the Chinese New Year, no movie fans will watch movies during this time, unless it is a film by Cheng Long.

In 1995, the movie "Red Zone" starring Brother Cheng Long was the first to introduce the concept of "Spring Festival stalls". As soon as the movie was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the box office was extremely popular. It took the first place in the Chinese film box office of the year and surprised countless people.

During this Chinese New Year, how can people go out to watch movies if they don’t stay at home for the reunion dinner?

Many people in the industry were puzzled, but now that they had the first person to try it, they all started trying.

Since 1996, the Spring Festival has been very popular for a while. Every year during the Chinese New Year, several films are released, including some big productions by well-known directors. But without exception, they all have big thunder, light rain, and box office data. Horrible.

Only Cheng Long's movies can be accepted by ordinary people.

After several trials, each company's enthusiasm subsided and everyone came to the conclusion that the Spring Festival stall still does not exist, with the exception of Cheng Long.

In Sun Yi's view, this matter also depends on the recognition in the minds of the people. In those years, Cheng Long was really a benchmark among the Chinese, and he always looked like an upright Chinese wherever he went.

He has a clear stance, never being ambiguous or sitting on fences. He always openly expresses his patriotic stance, is frank and frank, and never flatters others. Even though he is criticized in terms of his private life, he still maintains his integrity.

Regardless of whether he created the character or pretended to be successful, few people can persist in doing so for so many years.

Therefore, ordinary people vote with their feet. As long as it is his film, let alone the Spring Festival, you have to watch it even during the Qingming Festival.

"Little Soldier" was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year and achieved a box office of 1800 million on the first day. Although there is still a gap between it and Sun Yi's movies, in this year, it is already a rare achievement.

The movie has just come out and its reputation has been very good, so Cheng Long struck while the iron was hot and started extensive promotional activities in the mainland. Today's invitation to Sun Yi and Liu Yifei is one of the movie's promotion activities in the capital.

"Yifei, Yifei, may I ask, how do you feel about attending the Spring Festival Gala for the first time?"

"Well, I am very excited, excited, and grateful. I would like to thank the Spring Festival Gala program team for giving me this opportunity. I am also honored to be able to bring happiness to the people across the country on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala."

Only four days have passed since the Chinese New Year, and the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala has not diminished at all. On the contrary, the fermentation has intensified due to the non-stop crazy rebroadcasts of various TV stations.

Liu Yifei's "Youth" was initially spread on the Internet, and spread throughout the streets and alleys in a few days. This song was played in all major shopping malls, restaurants and hotels that were still open during the Chinese New Year. , which was greatly welcomed.

It was rare to catch Liu Yifei at the promotion site of Cheng Long's movie, and it was her first public appearance since the Spring Festival Gala. Of course, the media reporters at the scene would not let her go so easily, and started a busy interview.

As for Sun Yi, who came with Liu Yifei, he was even more rare. It was rare to get the opportunity to interview him on formal occasions. Some reporters even couldn't wait to draw attention to their private lives.

"Director Sun, you and Yifei are up together today. Excuse me, did you two spend the Spring Festival together this year? Did you spend the New Year at the man's house or the woman's house?"

Damn it, what kind of reporter from a gossip tabloid got in here and asked such a shameless question? Is there no one at the event?
Sun Yi frowned, glanced at his reporter nameplate with an unhappy expression, and remembered it in his mind. He planned to arrange for Liu Xiaowei to warn the media when he returned, letting them know that at least when facing the starry sky, they must be honest. point.

Although other reporters are also very interested in this issue in their hearts, they absolutely cannot ask out loud.

This colleague is definitely a newbie. Who doesn't know that this guy in front of him, despite his youth, is not just a movie director, but he also has a listed company behind him and is worth tens of billions.

"Hello Director Sun, Director Sun, do you have any plans for your next movie? Many fans are very concerned about your next movie? Can you tell us a little bit about it here?"

Faced with formal interview questions, Sun Yi was still willing to answer, "The next movie is being shot, and it is a realistic movie."

"Director Sun, can you be more specific?"

"Director Sun, can you tell me who the male and female protagonists are? Is the female protagonist Yifei?"

Sun Yi answered only the information that can be found on the surface. When "Into the Dust" was invited to invite the heroine, part of the information was revealed, but at that time, people did not pay enough attention to this film.

After "Wings in the Sky" was released and broke the annual box office record dominated by Hollywood blockbusters, everyone began to look forward to Sun Yi's next movie.

The reporters discovered that after Xingkong sent out invitations to many top actresses in the industry, they no longer believed them. There is still no definite explanation of who the heroine will be in the end, leaving everyone scratching their heads and involuntarily guessing Liu Yifei. Got it on him.

At that time, Sun Yi did audition for the heroine of "Into the Dust", but in the end she was not very satisfied due to various reasons. The main reason was that with Gong Huang, other people really made Sun Yi look down on her. .

But among these invited actresses, who are not the influencers outside, how could they personally admit that they were defeated by Sun Yi? Therefore, they all tacitly pretended that this matter did not exist.

"Well, fellow journalists, please allow me to explain here. The male and female protagonists will surprise you, but I can mention one thing first. The female protagonist is not Sissi. Okay, today is a promotional event for Brother Cheng Long's movie , we don’t want to take over the spotlight.”

Surprised, isn't it Liu Yifei?
The reporters were intrigued and wanted to ask more questions, but Sun Yi had already pulled Liu Yifei away, and the staff of Starry Sky Image Arrangement also held them in their arms dutifully.

How can we not fulfill our responsibilities? One is the boss and the other is the future boss’s wife.

"Oh, brother, thank you for supporting me. Sissi, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you look beautiful again!"

Brother Cheng Long was still the same as before, showing no pretense in front of Sun Yi, looking like a big brother in the world of martial arts. He walked up to Sun Yi with his iconic big nose twisted from a long distance away.

"Happy New Year, big brother, happy New Year, big brother."

Sun Yi and Liu Yifei first said hello. Speaking of which, they were both taken care of by Brother Cheng Long, so they became very close after meeting. If it were anyone else, he might not have the honor to invite Sun Yi here.

"Okay, okay, everything is fine. When are you two going to have a banquet? I'll be waiting!" Brother Cheng Long looked at the two of them and asked seriously.

Sun Yi pursed his lips and said nothing, but with a smile on his face. Liu Yifei first glanced at Sun Yi secretly with her small eyes, and then expressed her dissatisfaction shyly. "What kind of banquet is this? You're just talking nonsense~"

"Hahaha"

The little girl was shy.

Liu Yifei's little move was all in Cheng Long's eyes. He was a veteran among the flowers and knew the girls' thoughts very well. He patted Sun Yi on the shoulder with a teasing look, and then stopped mentioning the matter. After greetings, they were welcomed into the venue.

The movie's promotion is still the same, with reporters asking questions, on-site Q&A, and interaction between the main creative staff and fans. Today's promotion is completely led by brother Cheng Long. The other leading actor Wang Lihong is not there. I don't know why. Anyway, Sun Yi is not feeling well. When you meet him, it doesn't matter to you.

As for why he didn't want to see him, the reason was a bit unclear. Anyway, he just wanted to beat him up.

What kind of player, he actually sent a film invitation to the company a while ago, and the person invited was his own wife. Sun Yi got inexplicably angry when he thought about this film.

The on-site activities were almost done. The great master Sun Yi was not needed in the activities before watching the movie. He had to wait until the last appearance, so he followed Liu Yifei and watched the movie honestly.

Although there were many reporters at the scene, it was quite satisfying to be able to sit and watch a movie with Xiao Nizi in such an upright manner, without having much to do with the movie, and not having to worry about this or that.

Liu Yifei was even more like this. She directly chose the most comfortable position, lazily leaning on Sun Yi's arm, and huddled on the sofa in the movie theater.

The movie begins to show. It tells the story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Wei army was ambushed by the Liang army. After a fierce battle, both sides suffered losses. Only one Liang soldier, Cheng Long, and a Wei general, Wang Lihong, survived. , the Liang soldiers survived by pretending to be dead, while the Wei generals were injured and comatose, and survived by luck.

The soldiers thought that if they caught the general, they would be rewarded, which would keep him away from the war. The soldiers captured the injured general and they began the long journey back to Liang.

The whole movie is still Brother Cheng Long's usual kung fu comedy style, but it is not difficult to see that Brother Cheng Long is indeed getting older, a little unable to impress, and begins to seek transformation.

After watching the entire film, the thing that resonated most with Sun Yi was the folk song sung by the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom.

"My family lives at the foot of the Youliang Mountain. There are five acres of fertile land at the foot of the mountain. What can you plant in the five acres of fertile land?"

Really, as a Chinese, you can't help but be touched. This deep-rooted love for the land and yearning for a peaceful life have influenced generations of our descendants.

It can also be seen from this that the intention of the movie is to move forward. Brother Cheng Long is no longer satisfied with his label of "action actor", but wants to pursue a higher level of "actor" status.

"Everyone said, is the movie good?"

“Good looking~”

"Thank you all, so this year our crew is lucky enough to invite Director Sun Yi and Sister Shenxian to watch the movie with you. How about we invite them two up?"

There was a round of applause in response to the scene, and Sun Yi also knew that it was his turn to help brag, no, to help comment.

He stood up with Liu Yifei, bowed slightly to the audience in the back row, and then walked onto the stage amidst cheers.

The host handed each of them a microphone.

"Let's first ask Liu Yifei, is it okay? How did you feel after watching the movie?"

"Hmm~ It looks very good. I can see that Brother Cheng Long must have put in a lot of hard work for this film. I was also an action actor before, hehe. So, I know a lot about action scenes. Many of us have seen it in the audience. Actions need to be practiced repeatedly, and even so, accidents will happen. I saw my brother’s full sincerity in the movie. I wish the movie a big hit at the box office.”

"We are grateful to Yifei. It seems that Yifei is speaking from the perspective of an actor. Now, let me ask Director Sun Yi to comment on it from the perspective of a director."

Sun Yi nodded slightly and took a step forward.

"Well, first of all, what I want to say is not just this film, but Brother Cheng Long's own breakthrough."

"Everyone knows that in the previous films of Brother Cheng Long, who cannot be killed, he was usually a positive character, a hero, and he would not die."

"But starting from two years ago in "New Police Story" when the eldest brother was beaten until he knelt down and cried and begged for mercy, the hero on the surface disappeared, and a hero who truly lived in everyone's hearts was born."

"Just like in this movie, the eldest brother is no longer so tall, but a complete little guy. He is timid, a thief, cowardly, and afraid of death. In order to survive, he can abandon all dignity and face. He has no big ambitions. , even if he captures the enemy's general, he only wants to exchange for five acres of land to farm and raise cattle. "

"Maybe in the eyes of many people, this is nothing, but this is exactly the simplest idea of ​​​​us people. To use the more popular Internet words now, it is called peasant woman, mountain spring, which is a bit sweet, right? Let me state that I am not advertising. ”

Hahaha.
The fans at the scene were all infected by Sun Yi's down-to-earth spirit and burst into laughter. Liu Yifei on the stage couldn't help but watch him purse her lips in amusement, but she still had a little complaint in her heart.

Humph, are there such peasant women as me?
Sun Yi also laughed for a while, and after the scene recovered, he continued:
"But a little man who only had this small pursuit chose not to put down the flag of his country in the end, and was shot dead by random arrows. He violated his original intention, or ideal in life."

"Just like in our Chinese history, whenever the country is in crisis, ordinary people who originally only thought about peasant women, mountain springs, and a little sweetness stood up and risked their lives."

"This is us Chinese. The concepts of people, family, and country are vividly displayed in the contrast between the big and the small in the film, so I think this is a rare and good movie that is worth watching."

Wow~
There was a burst of applause at the scene, and Sun Yi's comments were humorous and humorous, which directly raised the concept of the movie to a higher level, and then perfectly combined it with the Chinese people's concept of home and country, making people appreciate it carefully and feel that this is really the case.

In fact, Sun Yi also acted like a chicken thief. He didn't talk about the performance of the other male protagonist in the movie at all, and directly talked about the story as a whole. The story of the movie is indeed like this. He didn't fool the audience. Besides, this movie was based on his It seems that it is still excellent in all aspects.

The next day, Sun Yi's comments about the movie were reported and caused widespread repercussions on the Internet. Sun Yi is now regarded by netizens as the savior of Chinese movies. He rarely reviews movies, so his reputation is very good. Many netizens were so impressed by him that they spontaneously went to the theater to watch the movie.

The box office trend of the entire movie has unexpectedly increased. When Sun Yi was having dinner with Xiao Nizi's family in Jiangcheng, he also received a special thank you call from Brother Cheng Long.

He said that because of one of his comments, the movie's box office on that day increased by a full 500 million yuan. In addition to thanking him, he would arrange a meal for Sun Yi no matter what.

Sun Yi felt that he was not short of one or two meals, that is, could he take me to the club he took me to last time?

Xiao Nizi has been a bit too strict lately.

Fortunately, it was just what he was thinking. How could he dare to say such a thing in front of his family?
