my time as a director

No need to think about it, Li Qian knew that this was Huayang Media's trick. Except for them, no company would do such a thing that was not good for him.

"I didn't find fault with them, but I came to find trouble first."

Li Qian shook his head, feeling helpless. If he wanted to settle down, no one else would let him.

In this case, there is no other way but to find fault with them in advance.

During this time, in order to promote his film, Ma Xiaogang talked about the righteousness of the nation, and when asked about The Truman World, he said it was an entertainment film, and the two were not easy to compare.

At the next road show, a reporter was there, and when asked about the date with Ma Xiaogang last year, Li Qian responded positively.

"Oh, it seems that there is such a thing!"

Li Qian looked like I just remembered, and then said a little embarrassed, "Thanks to the reporter friend for reminding me, otherwise I would miss the appointment. I remember Ma Dao's 1942 is about to be released. Recently, I heard him talking about it every day. What is the mirror of the nation, suffering, history and the like.

First of all, I respect directors who shoot this kind of subject matter, but I don't agree with filming this kind of film about national suffering while imagining how much box office it will be, just like Director Ma talking about the nation and people's livelihood, but opening his mouth to start with a billion box office .

It is a good thing to face up to the suffering of the nation and reflect on it, but as a filmmaker, I despise this kind of behavior in vain trying to fill my own pocket with the countless souls of the dead decades ago! "

The filming of 1942 is actually very good. Ma Xiaogang's ability lies in that, let's talk about the facts.

But the purpose is too obvious, and the utilitarianism is too strong. In the movie, Zhang Guoli and Xu Fan are used to tickle the pain nerves of ordinary people, and Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian are used to fiddle with the political nerves of intellectuals.

The religious significance of God and missionaries is enlarged, and two Hollywood big-name actors are completely out of line, in order to please the so-called foreign film festival judges and film producers.

Similar to Jinling Shisanchai, there are big-name Hollywood actors, and they all have similar images, but Shisanchai hadn't been released at the time, otherwise Ma Xiaogang would definitely have to change the script.

If you pull the film carefully, you will find that, to put it bluntly, every scene is full of calculations and scheming.

In fact, this is not impossible. After all, movies have costs. Investors, directors, actors, theaters, everyone has to eat.

But if you want to make money and think about it, can't you think about it in your heart, and don't keep mentioning it verbally.

Ma Xiaogang talks about the suffering of the nation every day, a lot of preaching, and he guarantees a billion-dollar box office when he speaks, which is too annoying. His character is far inferior to his movies, which is why the audience is starting to hate him.

Li Qian's words directly satirized Ma Xiaogang's use of national suffering to fill his own pockets, which made everyone in the industry shine.

Two great directors, this is another battle!

Ma Xiaogang was stunned, he couldn't understand why Li Qian had been silent before, why he suddenly came to find fault.

However, one can probably guess at a glance at the news that the news about the world criticizing Truman is probably caused by the Huang brothers.

"Mindless idiot!"

Ma Xiaogang is going crazy now. The two brothers have been doing more and more brain-dead operations in the past two years. This has no effect at all. On the contrary, they can do negative marketing to increase the popularity of each other, and they only need to send money to others. up.

It was not easy for him to figure out Li Qian's character. After a long period of memory and observation, Ma Xiaogang suddenly discovered that as long as he didn't trouble him, Li Qian would seldom attack others.

So Ma Xiao was so low-key just now, The Truman World is just an entertainment movie.

But now, the Huang family brothers took the initiative to find trouble.

Pig teammates!

Ma Xiaogang has never seen such a stupid person doing things that harm himself and benefit others!

Now it's all right, for nothing to help Li Qian publicize, no one took their criticisms seriously, only the netizens made a fuss, and Li Qian came to trouble them.

Chapter 412

"Director Ma, Director Ma, what do you think about what Director Li said, that you consume suffering to fill your own pocket?"

"As a movie that reflects the suffering of the nation, how does Director Ma think that 1942 can get a billion box office?"

"A year ago, Director Ma and Director Li had an appointment to celebrate the New Year on Weibo. 1942 is about to be released. Facing the explosive world of Truman, has Director Ma regretted it?"

"May I ask if 1942 will be withdrawn to avoid the edge?"

At an offline fan meeting, the atmosphere was quite lively. Ma Xiaogang, who was being chased by the reporters, was at his wits end and looked at the ugly faces in the audience with a cold face.

Ma Xiaogang experienced the same situation yesterday, just like today, he left in a huff.

Now, there is really no way to hate Li Qian, even those who have no brains know it.

Li Qian himself was almost blown to the sky last year. This time, Truman's World is no worse than I am not a medicine god in terms of word of mouth and box office. To put it bluntly, it is rare to say that it is at the height of the sun, and it has almost reached the pinnacle of domestic directors for decades. .

Disappointed, he returned to the business car and saw that the assistant had just hung up the phone. Ma Xiaogang asked in a cold voice, "Have they figured out anything?"

The assistant hurriedly said, "Director Ma, Mr. Huang means that he can't hide from it, so he just responded positively. Anyway, our movie is in the right place, and the theater has given up two or three points of interest, so we can guarantee it." Arranging the film, we will try to get a little agency to book the show in the early stage, the box office is about [-] million, and the outside world can't say anything."

Ma Xiaogang's face darkened immediately, the matter was caused by the Huang family brothers, and it turned out that he was the one to clean up the mess.

However, there is really no other way. With the title of righteousness, others can't use the standard of commercial films to demand him.

"Well, Director Ma, Mr. Huang said to call him back when you are free." The assistant said again.

"Tell him I'm not available!"

Ma Xiaogang yelled angrily, now he doesn't want to talk to the Huang brothers, the pig teammates.

Continue to promote and hold meetings in Zhengzhou. After all, 1942 is about the severe drought in southern Henan, and southern Henan is also a focus.

It is also necessary to fight for the charter of the provincial government, just like the Tangshan earthquake.

Even though he has already decided on a way to deal with it, Ma Xiaogang no longer hides at the next stop.

"It's ridiculous!"

Ma Xiaogang loudly refuted Li Qian's slander about his consumption disasters and filling his own pockets, and complained with grief and indignation.

"After 1942 years of preparation, 18 is the film I spent the most time on. This kind of work is actually asking for trouble. Every time I shoot it, I have to pay a lot of hardships. The cost is very high. It is very gritty to shoot. The complexity of the production, Including putting in a lot of energy, but still want to shoot, just because I like it and I am moved by it.

In order to shoot this movie, in order to enrich the story and the characters, the main creator and I took the road of escape twice, traveling to many places in southern Henan, western Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and Chongqing.

The shooting was also very difficult. Every time there was an explosion, hot gravel hit the faces and necks of Xu Fan and Feng Yuanzheng. Zhang Mo staged a train jumping in the severe cold of minus 20 degrees Celsius. Everyone experienced physical and physiological pain. double torment"

He focused on the difficulties of filming and various examples, and then emphasized the significance of making this film, the significance to the Chinese nation, to today's society, and to all audiences.

After talking a lot, he began to criticize Li Qian, "Yes, that's right, the box office of 1942 may not be as good as The Truman's World. After all, it is an entertainment film, and it has inherent advantages. Compared with 1942 because It's too thick, it's not an entertainment movie, and it will suffer at the box office.

It’s okay if the box office is not as good as others. I thought about it when I made this movie, but I don’t allow someone to make an entertainment movie by himself, entertain the audience, and use it to slander other people. This is not only for me , it is a harm to the thousands of crew members who paid for 1942, and it is also a harm to the history of the Chinese nation.”

Ji Li Guala talked quickly, and the reporters in the audience were stunned and stunned. This was the first time I saw Ma Xiaogang refute others in this way, and he should be the one who was refuted before.

However, the dazed mind is the dazed mind, and the reporters have not forgotten their responsibilities in the slightest.

"Then Director Ma, you said earlier that the minimum expectation was a box office of one billion yuan. Since you want to make such a movie, why do you still attach so much importance to the box office?"
