my time as a director

"I was dying of laughter while watching the video. As soon as I ignored the questions about Li Qian and I being legends, I just went to answer those procrastinating questions."

"In the video of the previous interview, Ma Xiaogang's face turned black. If this is a place where no one is around, I guess he has the intention of beating someone."

"These reporters are also really ruthless. They seized the opportunity to hurt their lives. I'm afraid that Li Qian was not the same as Ma Xiaogang that day."

"If Ma Xiaogang hadn't been looking for trouble on his own, it wouldn't have happened. Last year and the year before the New Year holidays, except for Zhang Weiping's troubles, everything was quite harmonious, and there were not so many troubles."

"Ma Xiaogang is also self-inflicted. He wants to show off all day long. This time he kicked the iron plate."

"The box office is so bad, I don't have the confidence to reply. I'm really afraid that Ma Xiaogang's mentality will collapse when the reporter makes him. In fact, he is not that bad, but his temper is too bad. There are not many directors better than him."

"I think Ma Xiaogang should learn a lesson. If he's too crazy, it's better to suffer early. If You Are the One 2 is obviously perfunctory. If this kind of film is a big hit, he will continue to be perfunctory in the future. I hope he will shoot more assembly numbers, Tang Shan A good movie like Earthquake."

"Haha, according to this, I will scold Ma Xiaogang a lot more, and it's for his own good."

"God scolded him for his own good, logic genius."

......

At this time, it was a pity for the media, which made it a big deal to eat melons, that Li Qian did not continue to laning, because Ma Xiaogang had nothing to say, so Li Qian had nothing to say, and the help of reporters was enough.

Although he didn't say anything, Li Qian occasionally read some comments.

In fact, if you really want to say it, Li Qian hates Ma Xiaogang at most. This person is not very good at speaking and doing things, and he doesn't have any deep hatred.

Moreover, it is also very funny, just look at the joke.

The road show across the country started in the south. Compared with the "bloodbath" of the road show and activities at Ma Xiaogang's side, after the reporter found out that Li Qian had not attacked Ma Xiaogang again yesterday, the number of people besieging him was much smaller, and they all went to find Ma Xiaogang.

It has returned to the normal state of film promotion, which is completely different from Ma Xiaogang's side where whenever there are reporters, they will not be able to do business, and all are questions and ridicules from reporters.

The movie was released for two days, and the audience also had a lot of questions in their minds. Li Qian took the trouble to answer every meeting and road show.

Shanghai Daguang Cinema.

"Hi Director Li, after watching I am Legend yesterday, I have been troubled by many questions for a whole day. The animals in the movie include deer, lions and other animals. Animals will not be hunted down by zombies during the day, but at night, they Where does it live?

People in the whole city are infected. Countless zombies are active in the city at night. The background is seven years after the disaster. After so long, how can those beasts maintain the size of groups? ’ asked an audience member.

"This audience member observed very carefully, and the answer actually lies in what you just said." Li Qian laughed.

In what I said?

The audience member who asked the question was a little confused.

"Yes, didn't you say that the wild beasts can still maintain their size in groups and have not been wiped out by the zombies? Did you notice the three lions that appeared at the beginning?" Li Qian asked him back.

lion?

Now it's not just the audience who asked the question, but other audiences also looked puzzled.

Li Qian explained, "First of all, lions live in groups, and only young male lions who are driven out of the pride after adulthood and old lions who have been robbed of their territory will be left alone.

But the three lions in the movie are hunting the female lions, and the male lion is guarding with his cubs, and the male lion is in his prime. This is a shrunken version of the lion group, and it is also very abnormal.

Lions usually have a fixed territory, the female lion hunts, and the male lion stays in the old den. In the movie, the male lion hunts together and brings the cubs. This shows that they do not have a fixed territory. After all, lions are not like people. Similarly, build a strong fortress for yourself, because of the attack of zombies, they will wander around.

Moreover, it is usually impossible to have only one lioness in a lion pride. The lion family in the movie may have other lionesses, but they were killed by zombies one after another.

So, that's a small detail in the movie. "

"What about the large-scale deer in the movie?" The audience asked again.

"Zombies can only live in cities. If they run away at night and cannot return to their nests, what will they do in the daytime? Therefore, they have a circle for their activities. Deer outside the circle will come in during the daytime and stay away at night. City." Li Qian explained tirelessly.

Seeing that he had no problem, Li Qian thought for a while and then said, "Actually, you are like asking why there are so many carnivores such as lions, tigers, cheetahs, and wolves on the grassland, why the deer are not extinct. According to the ecological chain, zombies in I Am Legend can be regarded as a new kind of animal.

They are not unconscious creatures. In the movie, the hero meets a zombie in the building. The zombie does not attack immediately, but roars first. It is the anger of outsiders invading his own territory. It has emotions, but it loses the human nature. Wisdom has the emotions and instincts that many animals have. In the context of the movie, it is also a member of nature. "

The zombies here are different from the zombies in the South Korean movie Train to Busan, but they can be regarded as a new animal species.

When the three zombie dogs besieged the protagonist and the dogs, they worked as a team, just like a pack of wolves hunting on the grassland, but the zombies in the train to Busan did not have this ability.

Although it answered the audience's questions, it was always about nature and the ecological chain, which made some people more confused.

But no one cared, it was Li Qian who was pretending to be aggressive. Basically, when all directors talk about their own films, they will talk about it.

As a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film that has never been seen in China, the audience still has a lot of questions, and then an audience member asked, "Director Li, why is there only one male protagonist in the whole city? How about water and electricity?"

"This problem, although the virus broke out on a large scale seven years ago, it has not been shown when human beings are close to extinction. It may be seven years, or it may be four or five years."

Li Qian, who had already prepared the draft, explained, "Of course, it doesn't matter whether it is four or five years or a few years. As mentioned in the dialogue in the movie, human beings have prepared for the consequences of the virus and built some bases, but all Being attacked by zombies, since preparations have been made, it is not too much for the hero to prepare generators and the like in advance. For water sources, it can be imported from rivers, and it is not difficult to build a reservoir.

Moreover, there are quite a few engineering students and technical homeowners who have UPS power supply equipment at home. Some of us on site have UPS power supply equipment at home. "

Several audience members raised their hands, and this question was perfectly answered.

For post-apocalyptic sci-fi films, some people will definitely raise such details. After all, they are far away from reality and are different from other genres.

The road show is the same content as chatting, signing autographs and taking group photos.

......

Li Qian's energy was mediocre and boring, but Ma Xiaogang had another unforgettable day.

"Grass!"

Back at the hotel where he was resting, Ma Xiaogang spit out an aggrieved expression.

He had endured this word for a whole day, and he forcibly choked it back when it came to his lips all the time.

It's been a whole day, and my complexion hasn't improved even for a minute.

But Ma Xiaogang has been aggrieved to death for so many years, no matter who he is scolding with, Ma Xiaogang has never suffered a disadvantage, but facing Li Qian this time, he can't take advantage of it.

The box office that I was most proud of in the past, faced more than 4000 million on the first day and I am a legend, which broke through [-] million in two days, which was not enough to support.

The only thing that can make him feel at ease is that If You Are the One 2 is not bad, it has nothing to say about word of mouth or box office, it's just that I am a legend when I met him.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if If You Are the One 2 was like Zhang Yimou's three shots.

Thinking of the only consolation, Ma Xiaogang also turned on the computer, ready to see the high evaluation of You Are the One 2.

Open Douban.

Although he looked down on Douban's gang of literary youths, he would still go up and see whenever a movie was released.

"Dedicated to Ma Xiaogang's memorial service!"
