Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad

Being able to sing a song on the Spring Festival Gala also has a special meaning for Lin Qiu.

The Spring Festival Gala is a New Year’s Eve dinner that people in Xiazhou cannot avoid.

No matter in the past life or in this life, all the stars in the entertainment industry are eager to attend the Spring Festival Gala. Being invited to the Spring Festival Gala will be very helpful to the future development of Changan Film and Television Company.

Although I don’t know if it is a solo or a chorus.

With Lin Qiu's current celebrity status, it should be relatively difficult to sing solo.

…

Li Jiemei is a well-known comedian in Xizhou. He has starred in a comedy movie Idiot that has achieved success in the Kyushu film market. He is quite famous in the Kyushu film industry.

Comedy movies have very high limitations and cannot reach a higher stage.

In previous lives, a series of great comedians have not won the Oscar for Best Actor.

As the king of comedy, Xingye is called a genius by countless audiences and has many classics, but he has only a handful of actor titles.

Comedy, after all, is about entertaining the public.

If you want to win the Best Actor Award and compete for a seat in a higher palace, you must have artistic background.

Most film festivals focus on feature films, with more humanistic plots or themes.

In this regard, comedy films obviously cannot be perfectly presented in terms of subject matter and concept.

And there is a classic saying: Comedy doesn't win Oscars, tragedy always wins.

As an actor, it's much easier to express negative emotions, and it's easy for the audience to identify with them.

Because life is inherently a tragedy, but it is difficult for comedians to really move people.

Chen Daohua is Li Jie's neighbor in Xizhou and is also a close friend.

This time The Story of Hachiko is gradually making waves in various states.

As a friend, Li Jie immediately went to watch the film and burst into tears in the cinema.

I am envious that Chen Daohua can star in such an excellent film as Eight Masters, and I am also amazed that an outstanding young director like Lin Qiu has appeared in Xiazhou!

Just a few days ago, Li Jie received news from Chen Daohua, and then received an audition invitation from Chang'an Film and Television Company!

Seeing the amazing script of The Truman and hearing that the film production was a big one, Li Jie was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night.

Early the next morning, I bought a ticket to Xiazhou and flew over to see if I could win the role of Truman.

After hearing the news that Lin Qiu had returned from the Magic City and asked him to audition for the company, Li Jie immediately gathered his emotions and stood in front of the gray mirror.

Next to the mirror, there is the script of The Truman. The Truman in the story is an ordinary and optimistic little man, living in a seaside city that seems to be in another world.

Now Li Jie seems to have become Truman in the story in an instant.

Now Truman is going out.

Good morning!

In case I don't see you, I wish you good afternoon, good evening and good night!

Li Jie looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly showed a bright and warm smile.

Then he went out and headed towards Chang'an Film and Television Company.

…

The reputation of Hachi Gong has been completely improved. Now there are several exclusive interviews in Mizhou and Xizhou!

In the office, Zheng Qing said excitedly to Lin Qiu.

In the past few days since Lin Qiu was away, the Kyushu Film Market has gradually entered the last week of the release of Hachiko!

After the word-of-mouth fermentation in the past few weeks, the box office of Hachiko is now growing steadily every day.

Although it cannot achieve the global explosion like Titanic.

But such achievements seem to have opened a door to the long-dormant Xiazhou Film Market!

when?

Just these few days.

good.

Lin Qiu nodded and said.

Now in the Kyushu film industry, the name of director Lin Qiu is gradually known. In addition, Lin Qiu's previous works Love Letter, The Crucible and The God of Medicine are all high-quality Eastern Three States works, which makes Lin Qiu's body more interesting. Full of topicality!

Such a young director in Xiazhou, especially the media in Mizhou and Xizhou, would definitely not be stingy about writing a column for Lin Qiu.

It is different from the predecessors who worked hard in the world film industry.

Lin Qiu will stand on the land of Xiazhou and bring Xiazhou movies to the Jiuzhou movie world.

Ye Zhiyuan sat aside, looking at Lin Qiu with three parts of admiration, three parts of appreciation, and three parts of envy.

Brother Ye, when will White Night Journey be released?

“It’s been pushed to New Year’s Day.”

Ye Zhiyuan replied.

Because he had to create the storyboards himself, Ye Zhiyuan's speed in shooting the movie was far slower than Lin Qiu's.

One film a year, Ye Zhiyuan himself is quite satisfied.

White Night Journey is also an extremely excellent film, but its subject matter is destined to be successful only within the three states.

It is difficult to rush into the Kyushu market like Hachiko.

Brother Ye, after White Night Walk is released, I will give you a masterpiece-level movie script that will definitely score more than 5 points when it is finished. It can hit the Kyushu film market.

I already have an idea for the script. This movie is quite important.

If Chang'an Film and Television Company wants to represent Xiazhou in the world film market, it doesn't just depend on me.

Lin Qiu turned to Ye Zhiyuan and said these words, which made Ye Zhiyuan tremble all over!

A masterpiece-level movie script!

Since Lin Qiu dared to say this, he was confident.

Ye Zhiyuan read the script of The Truman Show yesterday and was shocked!

I really don't know how many genius ideas Lin Qiu has in his mind.

Now, Lin Qiu's sights are obviously not only on the local film market in Xiazhou, but also have higher goals.

good!

Ye Zhiyuan clenched his fists and nodded.

Zheng Qing stood aside and smiled. Lin Qiu had already talked to her about the future development direction of Chang'an Film and Television Company.

If Changan wants to achieve success in the Jiuzhou film market, there are three film types that are crucial.

The most important thing is undoubtedly the literary and drama films directed by Lin Qiu himself.

Secondly, it is a suspense movie.

You know, in the history of movies in previous generations, except for the literary and artistic films and dramas that have been the masterpieces of the past generations.

Suspense genres and brain-burning masterpieces abound!

Shutter Island, Inception, The Prestige, The Butterfly Effect, Fatal ID, Witness for the Prosecution, Memento, Gone Girl and so on.

It just so happens that Ye Zhiyuan specializes in this theme style, so he is naturally an important part of Chang'an.

There is another link, which is commercial blockbusters.

This is the hardest part of the film industry, and everything is difficult at the beginning.

Once you gain experience, filming the second and third parts will be much faster.

Ye Zhiyuan calmed down.

What I didn't expect was that I would actually have the opportunity to impact the Kyushu film market.

Does the investment in The Truman Show really cost one billion?

Lin Qiu shook his head, Of course not.

Lin Qiu looked towards her mother and saw Zheng Qing and his son smiling at each other and saying:

“Investment recruitment has already begun.”

What's the meaning?

Ye Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly, as if he had been opened up to the Ren and Du channels, he patted his thigh and said:

I am Cio...

I see!

In the past, Lin Qiu's movies had zero advertising.

Not only Lin Qiu, many movies will not place advertisements because it is quite against the rules.

Nowadays, even in TV series, product placement is at the front, and it will not interfere with the flow of the plot during the intermission or after an episode.

But The Truman Show is different!

The Truman Show has countless advertising spaces, and they are fair advertising spaces within the plot of the movie!

Making a movie at zero cost, making money right away before it's even filmed, have you learned how to do it?

Lin Qiu blinked and said to Ye Zhiyuan.

Awesome, you are really awesome!

Convinced.

have nothing to say!

Ye Zhiyuan gave a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration.

This movie hasn’t even been made yet, but it’s already making money?

You know, The Truman Show is a new movie with an investment of one billion, directed by Lin Qiu and starring Chen Daohua.

This is a movie that will be put into the Kyushu film market again!

Even if it is impossible to replicate the miracle of Hachi Gong in the Kyushu film market, the bottom line in Xiazhou is 4 billion.

With this kind of traffic base, the value of advertising is much greater than the title advertising of some variety shows!

unless!

Lin Qiu's movie collapsed.

This is the only risk, but what investment is risk-free?

Given Lin Qiu's achievements, this risk is almost negligible.

To give you some data, in the previous life, the naming fees for The Voice, Sisters Who Brave the Wind and Waves and Brother Overcoming Troubles were 200-400 million, but now it is 30% higher in this world.

That's why Lin Qiucai said that this seemingly horrifyingly expensive movie has almost zero risk and may make money before it is even shot.

At this moment, Lin Qiu's phone vibrated. Lin Qiu lowered his head and glanced at the message, then raised his head and said:

Mom, Li Jie is here.

I'm going to try out the mirror. Brother Ye, do you want to go?

Let's go, nothing happens.

Ye Zhiyuan will not interfere with Lin Qiu's casting.

If Ye Zhiyuan hadn't planned to shoot a new film next year, he would have wanted to rush over and become Lin Qiu's assistant director!

This is The Truman Show!

…

at the same time.

There are many real industry companies in Xiazhou.

What is Chang'an Film and Television Company doing?

The Truman Show is looking for advertisers? Where can I find it?

Are you trying to destroy your own brand?

What's the situation? One billion investment, directed by Lin Qiu, starring Chen Daohua?

When the companies in Xiazhou received the shocking news of the Chang'an project, they were all stunned, and the corners of their mouths were twitching!

These companies all invest in movie advertising, many of which are before the movie is released.

In this day and age, if you put it in the middle of a movie, even if it has a certain amount of exposure, it will be attacked by some movie fans, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Today's movies, as long as they carry advertisements, will definitely be rated as money-making bad movies, which will greatly affect the reputation of the movie!

But Lin Qiu's new film is openly inviting investment and directly selling advertising space?

Just four words:

【DD with price】!

Surprised and convulsed, these companies quickly launched an analysis of this investment!

The first reaction must be to smash the sign, but if you think about it carefully, there is no way Changan would do such a stupid thing.

This is an opportunity to appear upright in Lin Qiu's movie!

If The Truman had the same results as Hachi, what would a mere investment fee of several hundred million count?

This is a global listing, and it is more of an opportunity for Jiuzhou’s market value to soar! !

This kind of risk and reward has led many companies to make immediate decisions:

Done!

…

Chang'an Film and Television Company.

When Li Jie saw Lin Qiu, he was not too reserved and greeted with a smile:

Hello, Director Lin Qiu.

Hello, you are so fluent in Xiazhou dialect?

Lin Qiu said in surprise.

Today's Kyushu language is just like the dialects of the previous life. It is common to all states and there is definitely no problem in communication. However, there are still some differences between states.

Li Jie smiled and said, When I was in Xizhou, I often communicated with Teacher Chen.

This is Ye Zhiyuan, he is also a very good director. Maybe you may have some opportunities to cooperate with him in the future.

Hello.

Hello.

Lin Qiu was quite satisfied with Li Jie's appearance.

The reason why Xiazhou's comedians couldn't meet Lin Qiu's requirements for the role of Truman was because the overall image was not up to standard.

In Xiazhou, comedians often have to act ugly. Characteristics are more important than good looks.

The protagonist in The Truman is the starring in a reality show and needs to be good-looking.

Otherwise, no audience would be willing to watch Truman if he looked agitated, talkative and dirty.

Lin Qiu and Li Jie sat down and discussed the script of The Truman Show for a while before starting the audition.

Just perform three parts.

The first paragraph is the scene when Truman goes out, 'In case I don't see you, then I wish you a good afternoon, a good evening and a good night.' Brother Ye, match the neighbors.

Ye Zhiyuan glanced at Lin Qiu, took the script, and directly transformed into a coolie.

The second paragraph is...

The third segment is the scene where you shout at the camera at sea.

is that clear?

Li Jie nodded, No problem.

Start once you've adjusted.

In the past few days, Li Jie has deeply studied the role of Truman, so he has confidence.

After about five minutes, Li Jie adjusted his condition and returned to his position.

At this time, Li Jie had not yet appeared, but Lin Qiu's eyes lit up!

That's how it feels!

Comedians, why are they so prone to depression? It's because they control their emotions too well.

Comedy is not farce, it carries the core of tragedy, and is an art with strong control.

Chaplin, Mr. Bean, Ron Atkinson, and Hollywood comedy king Jim Carrey all suffered from depression in their previous lives. It is because of the art of comedy that if emotions are not handled well, it can easily backfire.

This is the threshold and difference between comedians and drama actors.

Comedians can act in drama, but actors in drama cannot act in comedy.

I order you to eat me.

Is it okay to just eat belly?

Do I have a belly? A little bit.

Li Jie stood in front of the mirror and said to himself.

Whether it is expression control or line skills, they are all at the level of a top actor.

After entering the next scene, Li Jie suddenly showed a bright smile and greeted Ye Zhiyuan: Good morning!

Ye Zhiyuan's lines are very simple, with only one word: Morning!

This time, Li Jie's smile was a comedian's signature smile, which made Lin Qiu unable to hide his smile. In case I don't see you all, I wish you good afternoon, good evening and good night!

In just one minute of this first scene, Lin Qiu almost wanted to confirm Li Jie as the starring role!

It really fits the character image in the original work.

But this alone is not enough. In addition to some comedy, in the end, Truman's explosive power is going to move the audience.

But Li Jie's superb acting skills still gave Lin Qiu a satisfactory answer!

Li Jie swayed his body, as if he was on the sea, fighting with the waves and Director Chris on the other side.

Now, Li Jie was completely immersed in it. With provocative but firm words, he shouted towards the sky:

that's all!!

You have to kill me!

…

After the performance ended, one minute later, Li Jie opened his eyes and gradually separated from the role of Truman.

Lin Qiu reached out to Li Jie and said, Mr. Li Jie, your performance is very good. I think you are very suitable for the role of Truman.

If there are no problems, Changan will discuss the contract with your agent during this period.

When the contract is signed, the complete script will be sent to you. The approximate shooting time will be between November this year and April next year. If there are any changes, we will notify you as soon as possible.

Li Jie was extremely excited when he heard that he had won the role of Truman.

For Li Jie, although it cannot be said to be 100%, this movie has a great chance of taking him further in the Kyushu film industry!

No problem, just call me Li Jie, Director Lin Qiu.

Okay, Li Jie, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. When are you going to return to Xizhou?

Li Jie smiled happily. Li Jie has always respected Chen Daohua, an actor of Xiazhou artist level.

This time I finally got what I wanted.

In two days, I'll just go and see Teacher Chen and tell him the good news.

I never thought I would get to play opposite Teacher Chen.

Lin Qiu smiled and corrected, Playing against each other in the air.

In the movie, Li Jie and Chen Daohua do not have real face-to-face scenes, they are all on the screen, which requires the actors' superb acting skills.

almost!

…

Hachiko was released on August 11th. After four weeks and 28 days of release, it was officially released at the Kyushu Film Market on September 8th!

On the day the movie was released, the entire blog's hot searches were filled with all the impressive results Hachiko had achieved in the Xiazhou and Kyushu markets.

It has completely suppressed the enthusiasm for the official release of the second part of the old Harry Potter Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Xiazhou!

[The Story of Hachiko, a landmark Xiazhou film! 】

[Xiazhou local area is 200 million, Kyushu’s total box office is 800 million! Hachi created the history of Xiazhou Film in the Kyushu Film Market! 】

[Beyond director Song Hua! The box office in eight overseas states is 600 million! Lin Qiu and Hachi Gong created a new history! 】

【Lin Qiu! The hope of Xiazhou movies! The new movie The Truman Show has been approved, how far can Lin Qiu go? ! 】

When these eye-catching titles appear on blogs and major media, you can imagine how excited Xiazhou movie fans are!

In the 28 days since its release, Eight Lords has earned a box office of 600 million in eight overseas states, breaking the 100 million box office originally maintained by director Song Hua!

Became the first in history!

This means that Xiazhou Film has ushered in a new stage.

And don't forget that director Song Hua is getting older and is gradually declining.

But Lin Qiu is different!

Lin Qiu has not yet passed his 23rd birthday. He is so young and talented. Fans have begun to boldly imagine how far Lin Qiu can represent Xiazhou Film in the Kyushu film market in the future.

And according to the news, Lin Qiu’s next movie project has been approved, with an investment of one billion!

Xiazhou's films have an outstanding style and have never needed the recognition of the Kyushu market.

But Hachi has been able to reach this point. Seeing that audiences from all over the world are crying for Hachi and praising Lin Qiu and Xiazhou's movies, as a Xiazhou fan, who can not be proud!

[600 million overseas box office, my contribution! Look at me, look at me! 】

[Stop talking about it, just watch every one of Lin Qiu’s movies! Support Xiazhou Movie, Xiazhou Movie 1! ! 】

[New movie, quick, quick! Even though I’m very productive, I always feel like there’s not enough to watch! 】

[Hey, we can only wait for White Night Journey on New Year's Day. After Ye Zhiyuan arrives in Chang'an, it can be said that he has joined forces with Lin Qiu! 】

Nowadays, Lin Qiu is so popular that he is the pride of the entire Xiazhou movie fans, blowing to the top of the white clouds!

This kind of grand occasion will lead to higher and higher expectations among movie fans for Lin Qiu's movies.

The sharp edge is sharp, but I'm afraid it will break easily after just passing through.

Several directors who have come to Yanjing recently, looking at the overwhelming public opinion, can't help but worry.

Among them are directors Song Hua and Wang An, whose records have just been broken.

Director Song Hua knows best the consequences of this kind of public backlash.

Song Hua was not disappointed at all that his overseas film record was broken. On the contrary, he was very happy for Lin Qiu, a young and outstanding filmmaker.

Capital will fight with each other, but Xiazhou filmmakers should not fight with each other.

Song Hua was very happy to see the Kyushu market being opened up again after many years.

It's just that now the entire Xiazhou movie fans have praised Lin Qiu to the sky, and their expectations are too high.

The Furnace and The God of Medicine have 6 points, and Hachiko has 7 points.

From now on, any of Lin Qiu's films that fall below 5 points will be exploited by people with ulterior motives.

Why does Chang'an promote it like this?

Director Wang An also didn't understand very well and was a little worried about Lin Qiu.

Logically speaking, companies at this time must learn to stop the momentum, otherwise the fire will be too strong.

Unless Lin Qiu can always produce masterpiece-level works, is this really possible?

Even the best director in the world can't do it.

Just under the momentum of this huge wave, The Truman Show began preparations for filming, adding another piece of firewood to this already strong flame!

If the fire is not strong.

How to burn all over Kyushu?

Sitting on the plane heading to Xizhou, Lin Qiu turned off her phone and murmured.

During this period, Chang'an chose more than one community in Xizhou. Lin Qiu had to personally select and set up the scenes on site to achieve the movie effect he wanted!

This is a work that can start a prairie fire!

…
