My singer girlfriend is super fierce

After signing Li Wenwen, who plays "Zhang Xiaomei", the cast of "Hello! Mr. Tree" was roughly determined.

The soul of this film is still Wang Qiang, and it can be said that success or failure depends on him alone.

After Wang Qiang got the complete script, in order to better figure out the role, he directly turned down all subsequent commercial activities and rented a house in a remote village in the northeast, just like the real "Mr. Tree" wandering around the village every day.

In his original words, "When I don't know how to act, I just treat myself as that person."

On this side, Ye Zhiqiu started the promotion of "Monster Hunt".

"Monster Hunt" is his second movie released this year. This movie is scheduled to be officially released on July 1st during the "summer season".

The "summer season" is generally from early June to the end of August. As one of the "three major seasons" of domestic movies, it is also the most important period of the year for the volume and box office output of films.

Compared with the "May Day season" that just passed, the competition is also more intense.

In the "summer season" in July, a total of 16 new films were released, of which three blockbusters with a total cost of over 300 million yuan, "Monster Hunt" is one of them, and the other two are called "Journey to the West: Reborn as the Demon King" and "Operation John Wick".

In addition, there is a super blockbuster imported from Hollywood with a total cost of over 1 billion yuan, called "Galaxy Battleship 2".

Among them, "Operation John Wick" is a crime action film, and "Journey to the West: Reborn as the Demon King" is a film and television adaptation of the famous novel "Journey to the West".

Speaking of which, the appearance of this work is also related to Ye Zhiqiu.

In the past, film and television works with classic themes such as "Journey to the West" were not unfilmed in the industry, but there were too many of them, which led to everyone having the feeling that "there is nothing to film anymore".

However, after the success of two animated films, "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" produced by the "Autumn of Light" studio, the industry was shocked to realize that the theme that was thought to have "aesthetic fatigue" was actually a blue ocean in the market, so a wave of mythological films was set off in China.

Against this background, "Journey to the West: Rebirth of the Demon King" appeared, and the producer was none other than the old rival of Ye Zhiqiu and Huahai Entertainment, Huanyu Media.

The cast of this film is luxurious, with the best actor Liang Jun as the male lead, playing the "Monkey King"; the former kung fu actor Yin Zhijie, who has been out of the film industry for 5 years, makes a cameo appearance, playing the role of "Erlang Shen"; the best actress Wei Bing plays the demon queen, forming a lineup of "two emperors and one queen".

In addition, other major roles are also played by popular actors...

In short, during the promotion, this "Journey to the West: Rebirth of the Demon King" has attracted a lot of attention and gimmicks.

However, the most popular movie in this summer is still the Hollywood blockbuster "Battleship 2".

"Battleship 2" is a science fiction film, and its theme is somewhat similar to the "Star Wars" series in the previous life. With its wild imagination and strong film industry production standards, it has attracted many fans who love science fiction themes in China. Its first "Battleship" won a box office of 3.5 billion in China.

In the case of "crowding" of blockbusters, the popularity of "Monster Hunt" is also not low.

After all, the reputation of "Ye Zhiqiu's production" is there, and it is co-starred by Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei. The number of fans of these two people combined is not less than that of the "two emperors and one queen"...

In Shangjing, a large cinema is holding a promotion event for "Monster Hunt".

Ye Zhiqiu, the director, screenwriter and starring actor, attended with Yu Caiwei and a group of starring actors, attracting many fans and media to the scene, and the atmosphere was warm.

In the question-and-answer session, various media reporters were particularly active.

"Mr. Ye Zhiqiu, this is your second collaboration with Ms. Yu Caiwei on screen after In the Name of People, and this is your first collaboration in a film. How do you feel?"

In the film and television industry, there are actually many "couples" like Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei, but it is rare to see two people who are both top-tier in popularity.

Ye Zhiqiu picked up the microphone and said honestly: "I don't feel anything special, and I'm even a little uncomfortable."

"We have a lot of rival scenes in this play, but if the rival actor is my wife, if the other actor doesn't act well, I can't scold him, which is... quite uncomfortable."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and many married men felt the same way.

Who understands this feeling...!

The second reporter turned the question to another protagonist: "Ms. Yu Caiwei, what kind of person do you think Mr. Ye is when filming? Is he very strict?"

Yu Caiwei thought for a while and said: "I can't say he is very strict. In fact, he has a good temper and is very patient with others."

"But he pays attention toPeople who pay attention to the quality and details of their works will keep thinking about it until they feel that they have passed the test when they feel that the filming is not good. "

Everyone nodded and continued to ask questions. Most of the reporters' attention was still on Ye Zhiqiu.

Experienced interviewers know that Ye Zhiqiu is the most newsworthy.

"Mr. Ye Zhiqiu, this "Monster Hunt" is another comedy-themed movie after "Detective Chinatown."

"So far, you have successfully integrated comedy elements into animated films, detective films, and fantasy films, including the official "Hello! Mr. Tree" later. Does this mean that you have plans to continue to delve into the theme of comedy?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said to the microphone: "I think the excellence of a film or television work lies in its story, that is, the content and plot of the film, as well as the shaping of the characters, the performance of the actors, and the expression of music, sound effects, and visual effects, rather than what the theme is. ”

“As a screenwriter and director, my goal is to create good works, so strictly speaking, all types of themes are directions I may try in the future.”

“And.” At this point, Ye Zhiqiu paused and continued: “Although it is off topic, I still want to clarify it.”

“Maybe everyone had some misunderstandings before. Who said "Hello! Mr. Tree" is a comedy?”

The last sentence made all the reporters present stunned.

“Hello! Mr. Tree” is not a comedy? Everyone thought that he would continue to shoot this theme after just working with Wang Qiang.

“What is the theme? Can you reveal it?” A reporter raised his hand to ask.

Ye Zhiqiu did not hide it, “Drama art film.”

“......” Everyone at the scene was stunned, and even many people had a few question marks on their heads.

What the hell, did I hear it wrong?

Ye Zhiqiu gave up shooting a good commercial film and went to shoot a thankless art film?
