At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 530
Promoting a movie, in essence, is to let people know that a movie is released.

The most traditional way is media coverage…

There are so many movies every year, why should the media report on you?

Even if it is reported, why can it interest the audience?

So, the hype is needed.

Regardless of whether it is speculation about CP or feelings, there must be some speculation!
So, whenever a new movie is released, Feng Xiaogang will make trouble. Do you think he has too many things?In fact, he is making a move!

What about "Manslaughter"?
Starring Gong Li, The Perfect Crime Movie…

and then?
Where is the attraction?
Starring Gong Li, is it comparable to Zhou Runfa + Gong Li + Zhou Jielun 10 days later?

They are all watching movies, why not spend the same money and watch a blockbuster movie with a lot of stars?
Yes, "Manslaughter" is a good movie, it can win in quality...

But don't forget, in just ten days, "Golden Armor" will be released nationwide on the 14th, which means that enough topics must be created two days before the release in order to attract the audience's interest...

The conflict between Gong Li and Liu Xiaoqing... can be hyped up!
what?
They appreciate each other, there is no conflict?
how can that be possible!
The key... Some time ago, when Liu Xiaoqing participated in the recording of "Extremely Dramatic", he publicly said, "I am the best actress in China, and I don't want to compare with Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi."

Moreover, last year, she also heard Huang Jianzhong reprimanding Zhang Yu, "This kind of ugly behavior is like a rat droppings, destroying the original clean pot of porridge. In fact, she never really joined the circle.To survive in the acting circle for a long time, the most fundamental thing is to be a good person first. '

Well, it's the same as Bai Ye admonishing Han Han, "You are not a person in the literary world"...

The difference is that Zhang Yu's influence is definitely not as good as Han Han's!
But...Liu Xiaoqing is here, so a reporter asked Shen Xudong about the 'hidden rules'...

"I don't deny that there are things that people can't see in Vanity Fair and the spotlight. After all, this is a very competitive circle... A suitable character with a pleasing personality can be remembered by the audience..."

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and answered seriously: "Which circle has the most fame and fortune in it, that circle will attract the most flies. The so-called flies refer to those who don't have any artistic pursuits, but pursue fame, wealth and sex as their main goal." The people with the first priority, anyway, I have always felt that there is no particularly dirty circle, only some people in the circle are dirty."

"fly?"

"Yes!" Shen Xudong continued: "High-quality projects, mainstream film and television resources, who can get a role after sleeping with? I don't think anyone will believe it!"

Liu Xiaoqing interjected: "That's right, that Zhang Yu is a clown at all..."

"I think it's the ethos of Hong Kong and Taiwan that has brought us down..."

Lin Lingdong hurriedly said: "Hong Kong and Taiwan have no unspoken rules!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Director, please stop talking, who doesn't know that Hong Kong movies have a gimmick to become famous... A bunch of stars have acted in tertiary movies... For money and fame, they are willing to do anything. , willing to be taken care of...let alone unspoken rules..."

Liu Xiaoqing also chimed in: "It's just..."

Lin Lingdong was so stunned that he had nothing to say...

Ok, stop here!
There are enough topics, and if we continue talking, we will involve the system and so on...

……

"I can't help it. Our movie is a crime suspense movie. In comparison, audiences are more willing to watch blockbuster movies and suspense movies in theaters. The effect of watching discs is similar..."

"So, I need to create a topic that can be discussed... When the movie is officially released, I believe everyone's attention and attention will be concentrated on the movie itself!"

Shen Xudong explained to Lin Lingdong the reason for his indiscretion...

He still respects Lin Lingdong a lot, he is a good director.

Lin Lingdong waved his hand: "It's okay, I understand, movies, the most important thing is to sell well, it's cruel, if you get it, you get it, if you don't get it, you don't get it..."

"Then... watch a movie."

The story of "Manslaughter" is to move the actor's role to the heroine. Gong Li plays Ayu. Her husband died. She took care of the family by herself and opened a video studio. She is a movie fan...

Living in a border town full of smuggling and D trafficking activities, various powers are intertwined to crush fairness and justice.

Ayu's eldest daughter, Pingping, was raped by the chief inspector's son, and killed her by mistake during the resistance...

Ayu once witnessed the abuse of lynching by the Chief Inspector, and he knows that the law is useless.In order to protect her daughter and defend her family, Ayu buried her body to cover up all the evidence, and fought the police physically and mentally in the interlaced gap of time and space.

Lin Lingdong's camera scheduling is very good, and the rhythm control is even better. The first 10 minutes into the theme, and then it is exonerated!
The film critics at the scene were stunned after watching it: the theme is too bold, the crime is perfect, and the ending is also very exciting: the police station was completed, and Gong Li said to the newly appointed chief of the police station (Kara Hui cameo), "I believe You and your police station will always protect us who are kind.” Along with the inspiring bgm, she turned and walked out of the police station, and a phantom appeared, carrying a cement bag and a shovel... explaining where the victim was buried.

"I'll go, didn't I turn myself in?"

"This... is too bold, how did it pass the trial?"

Yes, how did you pass the trial?
Very simple, Gong Li won the award...and "Manslaughter" was released as a Hong Kong-Thailand co-production...

Most importantly, this movie is directed by Lin Lingdong—at this stage, we are still very tolerant of well-known directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, otherwise, why would "Drug Wars" be released?
The audience is already very satisfied - "Manslaughter" is indeed a high-quality movie, in all aspects.

……

At the end of the movie, the main creators received a warm welcome.

The audience and reporters at the scene were all eager to ask questions, and Lin Lingdong also answered all questions: "It is the script that moved me. I have been discussing with Xu Ke to make a movie... I saw the script of "Manslaughter" and immediately decided to shoot it. this!"

"No, Xudong just talked for 100 minutes, there is no need to show the system too much..."

"Looking later, the subtitles were added by the distributor... They said they could pass the review."

"I think that since we want to go north to develop, we must follow the system here, and "Manslaughter" is very expensive, with a cost of 4000 million. I was also worried about the scale when shooting... But Xudong said, don't be too pessimistic about making movies... "

Shen Xudong explained: "It was filmed first, and it needs to be changed, so we can change it... Anyway, the theme of this movie is here, and we changed the background to Thailand..."

"Box office... I always think that Chinese audiences should watch feature films. "Manslaughter" is definitely a very good feature film. I originally expected 1.5 million..."Golden Armor" dared to say 4 million, so I will set [-] million!"

"In terms of lineup, we are not inferior to "Golden Armor"... What kind of international superstar is Zhou Runfa? He can't even play the leading role in Hollywood!"
