Chapter 788: Think about the horrifying open ending, return to China
As the first domestic animated film produced by Shiyue Culture under Tiangong Colors, it is also based on "Journey to the West".
So the promotion plans of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Xiu Chun Knife 2" are completely different. The former does not need to hold any offline promotion conference.
From the beginning, its promotion strategy has been very clear and clear, which is simply to promote online.
Because the influence and appeal of the keywords "Lin Nan Pictures", "Tiangong Color" and "Journey to the West" are completely sufficient.
Sure enough, as expected from the beginning:
With more than six minutes of film editing, supplemented by the stunning theme song "Wukong", "The Return of the Great Sage" has completely exploded on the entire Internet,< br>
Whether it is major video websites, portals, or platforms such as Weibo and Tieba, it dominates the headlines and hot searches for film and television information.
The number of views, clicks, topic popularity and quantity, the attention and discussion of the movie...all are overwhelming without exception.
In the words of many media:
The two films from Lin Nan Pictures, "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and "The Return of the Great Sage", are very likely to take over half of the market share of the summer season in July. Other domestic films must face severe competitive pressure.
……
Bangkok, the crew of "Detective Chinatown".
Lin Nan didn't care much about the promotion of the company's two movies, but Liu Yifei became worried.
“You really don’t have to worry about the promotion of Manchester by the Sea?”
Ms. Liu is still very concerned about this movie that helped Lin Nan win three awards: the Golden Globe, the Golden Bear, and the Oscar for Best Director.
"Don't worry about it. In terms of popularity and influence, this movie is definitely the biggest one in the domestic film market this year. As for how much box office it can get? That depends on fate."
Looking at Liu Yifei's delicate face, Lin Nan smiled and said it very casually.
It's not that he doesn't want to take care of "Manchester by the Sea", it's just that he is powerless. This movie is not a "blockbuster" movie at all!
It might be better not to promote it, as it can "cheat" more viewers into the theater.
If we really want to promote it, who would go to the cinema and feel uncomfortable?
Going in happily and full of expectations, and then coming out feeling heavy, depressed, depressed, and hopeless? Isn't this looking for sin?
"Well, that's okay. The main reason is that Zhou Xun and the others asked me why I didn't see the company send an invitation to the premiere of this movie."
Liu Yifei was obviously belatedly aware of this. After thinking about the key point, he stopped worrying about this issue.
"Okay, let's get ready to start work. Finish it as soon as possible in the next few days, and we can return to China."
As Lin Nan was talking, someone from the logistics team ran over, "Director Lin, there are many people gathered outside, including domestic tourists and the media..."
"Stop it, please pay attention. Don't let them interrupt the filming, and don't..."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately gave instructions. Director Lin Da walked to the shooting scene with a smile on his face.
I have to say that the way Producer Liu gets down to business is really charming!
When the camera was turned on again, it was the scene of "Tang Ren" and "Qin Feng" kicking open the door of "Sinuo"'s house.
The little girl wearing short sleeves, shorts, and red flip-flops fell to the ground, surrounded by a burning diary and a bottle of sleeping pills.
When Wang Baoqiang's "Tang Ren" hugged "Sinuo" and hurried out to find a car to take to the hospital, a close-up shot showed the contents of the diary in the hands of "Qin Feng" and paused for two seconds.
The last page of the diary pierced the eyes of "Qin Feng".
Words such as "animal desires", "dirty", "bed", "sin", "photos", and "threats" clearly illustrate the problem.
In an instant, the gold theft case and the murder case were connected in his mind, and all the connections seemed to be clearer?
Half an hour later, the crew moved to the hospital.
"Tang Ren" and "Qin Feng" were hunted down by "Huang Langdeng" and others again, and "Tang Ren" knocked down the medical cart.
When "Qin Feng" saw the scene of the drawer of the medical cart being thrown out and then closed, the last fog of the "murder case" and the "gold theft case" dispersed in his mind .
That is, the box "Tang Ren" transported from the "Songpa Workshop" was not filled with gold at all, but the murderer of "Songpa", and the gold was still in the workshop!
“Crack!”
Lin Nan shouted with a loudspeaker. He looked at his watch and saw it was 11:30 noon.
"We'll be here this morning, everyone is getting ready to have lunch.
Start work early at two o'clock in the afternoon to shoot the last 'car chase scene' of this movie.
< br>After this scene is over, "Detective Chinatown" can basically be announced as finished!"
Hearing this, everyone on the crew was a little excited, and the filming for more than a month was finally coming to an end. .
When Lin Nan returned to the rest area, the hotel's dining car had already begun distributing set meals.
The assistant first sent over Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's bags, as well as fruit plates and ice cream.
Miss Liu, the producer, was not in a hurry to eat because the logistics team was still reporting something to her.
It seems that although several road sections where the chase scenes were filmed have been closed, many tourists have also identified the filming locations.
At this moment, both sides of the road over there are crowded with people, just waiting to watch the excitement.
"...It's okay for them to watch the excitement, but make sure not to break in. In addition, add more manpower to ensure the safety of the crew members and those tourists to avoid accidents."
"Okay, Producer Liu. ”
After the logistics people walked away, Liu Yifei sat on the folding chair and gathered around the small table to prepare to eat.
“Well, Producer Liu’s aura was so strong just now that I didn’t even dare to interrupt.” Lin Nan smiled and flattered him.
“Hmph, that’s right.”
Liu Yifei blinked her right eye lightly and raised her eyebrows at Lin Nan with a smile.
At the same time, the chopsticks in her hand skillfully took away a piece of beef from Lin Nan's set meal.
Domestic.
"Fast 7" has gradually come to an end after breaking the 2.053 billion highest box office record held by "Taking Tiger Mountain".
With a large number of domestic films, there is finally a feeling of relief. Many people in the industry even look forward to "the end of all hardships."
"Produced by Universal Pictures and directed by James Wan, the imported Hollywood blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7" was released in China for more than 20 days, with a total box office of 2.42 billion, and its box office potential has been exhausted."
"By Huang Xiaoming, Yang Starring Mi, Yang Ying, Tong Dawei and others, "Why is the Shengxiao Silent" received a lot of negative reviews
Huang Xiaoming reproduced the acting style of a domineering president, with an exaggerated and awkward performance; Yang Mi's acting was formal and her expression was single. The lines are weak, just like in "Tiny Times"; Yang Ying is even more unbearable..."
"The Left Ear has exceeded 300 million in box office, and has won unanimous praise from directors such as Chen Kexin."
"The movie "Wolf Warrior" held a high-profile celebration banquet in Beijing. Director Wu Gen and his wife Xie Nan made an appearance; producer Liu Yifei was busy with "Detective Chinatown" and was unable to attend..."
...
A chase scene really only took a day and a half to shoot.
On the morning of the 4th, the crew of "Detective Chinatown" set up a camera in the hospital ward.
On the hospital bed is Zhang Zifeng's "Sinuo", and next to him is his adoptive father "Li" played by Pan Yueming.
After Lin Nan shouted "action", "Tang Ren" played by Wang Baoqiang began to retell the murder case, exposing this sick "adoptive father" step by step.
...
"Dad, is this true?"
"I don't regret doing this...I love you."
"I know."
“No, you don’t know I love you.”
After the action of turning around and jumping off the building, the scene where the "adoptive father" was killed by "Kuntai" who happened to arrive and took the credit needed to be completed with special effects in post-production. "Ka! The acting is very good. Especially the action of twisting the neck, which implies that this character is perverted and extremely paranoid at heart."
Lin Nan's words are correct. Pan Yueming said. Obviously, the tempering of his marriage has caused a qualitative change in his mood and acting skills.
"Thank you, Director Lin, for the compliment. I'm done with it."
More than half an hour later, the crew moved to the commendation meeting at the police station.
"Kuntai" played by Xiao Yang, who has "nepotism", has become a hero in recovering stolen goods, killing fugitives, and was promoted to deputy director!
And Chen He's acting skills are also very good. Looking at Xiao Yang who came on stage to accept the commendation, he felt like he had been cuckolded throughout the whole process, and was even humiliatingly slapped in the face by reporters for photos...
Lin Nan struck while the iron was hot and decided to finish the project in the afternoon.
When he saw the signboard of the famous gay bar in Bangkok, "Qin Feng" played by Liu Haoran realized that the previous clues also led to the conclusion: "Songpa" is impossible to be gay. To "Sinuo"...
Back to the hospital again, this time there are only "Qin Feng" and "Sinuo".
"Aren't you going back to China today?" Zhang Zifeng asked with a smile.
"I want to tell you a story."
"How come you, like that uncle, love telling stories." The voice is still soft.
“A boy is missing...
The torn-out part of the last page of the diary...maybe the method of killing...he deliberately wrote it for his adoptive father to see...the girl decided to use it Let's get rid of her perverted adoptive father... But she missed one thing. She thought it was impossible for others to know that the man she framed for molesting her was gay..."
"You seem to have stopped stuttering...but I really can't understand..."
Zhang Zifeng is still smiling, like an innocent little girl.
"Pretend I didn't say it."
"Qin Feng" turned around and was about to leave, but another voice came from behind:
"This book says... …Everyone is born with different roles, some are good and some are evil, what about you?”
The moment Liu Haoran's "Qin Feng" turned his head, a close-up shot of Zhang Zifeng showed her smiling.
"You evil man, should you laugh like that?"
"Crack!"
Lin Nan shouted excitedly and with great ease. He walked up to Zhang Zifeng: "Very good, the final 'Kubrick Gaze' was perfect!"
Liu Yifei held up a loudspeaker, "I announce that "Detective Chinatown" is officially finished! ”
"Sissi, are you trying to steal my line?" Lin Nan turned around and pretended to "question".
“Oh, it’s all the same.”
Producer Liu smiled and waved his hand, causing everyone in the crew to laugh as well.
"It's now past four in the afternoon. The main creators will go back to the hotel first, and the logistics team will wrap up... and prepare to return to China."
"Okay, Director Lin."
"Received."
......
When they returned to the hotel, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Zifeng, Tang Yan, Xiao Yang, and Chen He were sitting together Bus.
Tang Yan asked a question that made others equally curious and half-informed.
“Director Lin, why don’t you explain the son of ‘Songpa’ in the script, ‘Dan’, and just say that he is missing?”
After hearing this question, Lin Nan nodded in approval.
He saw Liu Yifei and others with the same "seeking solutions" look, and then explained:
"According to the settings, 'Sinuo' and 'Dan' are very good friend; and the other setting of 'Sinuo' is the perfect criminal, so she will not kill 'Dan'."
"Then?"
"This is reserved for the ending. If you open up your imagination, will 'Dan' come back on his own after some time? "
Lin Nan said with a smile. Several people's eyes widened.
"She's just missing, but not dead. Maybe she 'disappeared' on her own initiative!" Liu Yifei took over and reasoned.
"On one side of 'Sinuo', there is an adoptive father who has morbid thoughts about her; on the other side, 'Dan' has a gay father who hides it well from the outside world... It does not rule out the possibility of treating his own son... ..."
Chen He's mind was spinning very fast, and halfway through speaking, he just held back.
“So there is an unwritten ‘truth’, that is: two children teamed up to set up a trap to kill two adults and escape from their respective gloomy families?
Director Lin, your script is a bit scary to think about! "
Xiao Yang said what he was thinking and was instantly recognized by others.
"I didn't say anything. This is all your imagination. "
Lin Nan denied it with a smile on his face.
After the movie is released, if the audience thinks so too, his attitude will be the same: I didn't, I didn't write, you Just thinking!
…………
The news from Bangkok quickly spread back to China because it could not be concealed.
By the evening, there was already news on the Internet.
"It is reported that the comedy detective film "Detective Chinatown" written and directed by director Lin Nan officially wrapped up this afternoon in Bangkok."
"Director Lin Nan and producer Liu Yifei , is expected to leave for home in the near future..."
"The theaters have stated that they will provide more film arrangement support for the foreign language film "Manchester by the Sea" directed by Lin Nan..."
...
At night, Lin Nan was lying on the hotel bed and browsing Watching the domestic news, I feel a little speechless.
“Look, when I return to China this time, I will definitely be chased and intercepted by a large number of media at the airport.”
“That’s impossible. There has been a lot of news about us and the company during this time. , I became a Hong Kong citizen again, and the media blocked Hongxingwu. Those reporters who had my mother’s phone number a long time ago even called her.”
Liu Yifei was wearing a bathrobe, sitting in front of the dressing mirror and applying a facial mask. Her voice was soft and waxy, which sounded very nice.
"What did our mother say?"
Lin Nan asked with a smile. Liu Yifei's former assistant was Liu Xiaoli.
"Mom said she doesn't care, so she can ask us." Liu Yifei replied playfully.
……
The next day, it was around seven o'clock in the morning.
All the main creators of the "Detective Chinatown" crew set off from the hotel to the airport together.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei originally thought they would not return to China with the others, but who knew that this group of people came specifically to inquire about their flights.
At this time in China, the film and television industry is in a commotion again, because there are news about several "blockbuster movies".
"Director Yue, the script of "Love in Seattle 2" has just been reviewed. Director Xue called."
"Director Lin will be back today. He will handle it later. Please reply to Professor Xue."
"Okay."
After the assistant left, Yue Jun looked at the online Movie information, I can’t help but feel a little disdainful:
“The investment is quite big, how do you support your son?”
