For this press conference, the crew contacted Huibao Video, which has an online live broadcast, although there are currently not many people online on that channel.
But the moment Liu Qingshan made a surprise appearance, a large number of Qingshan Bar members suddenly poured into the live broadcast room, and this information was immediately transmitted to every corner of the Internet at home and abroad.
The reporters at the scene almost went crazy the moment they saw him appear. After all, the news was so shocking.
Liu Qingshan smiled and pointed at a reporter he was familiar with and said: "Are you surprised? Are you surprised? If you have any questions, ask them quickly, otherwise you may not have a chance in the future!" There was no exaggeration in what he said. Because at this time, all the reporters present stood up and raised their hands to ask questions.
That reporter was Kong Jingyan from "News Live", a die-hard fan of Liu Qingshan. She was already trembling with excitement, and even her lips were trembling: "Yes... it's really unexpected! Excuse me, alien, no, no, it's Mr. Liu, why do you deliberately hide your identity as a screenwriter?" Liu Qingshan gave her a thumbs up: "This is a good question! My idea is very simple, I just want to use this to prove whether my screenwriting ability is genuine!"
"So you chose this production team that had no reputation before?"
"This is just one of them. First of all, I still admire Director Ning Hao's directing talent, and his vision for selecting people is terrifyingly accurate, and it turns out that his directing ability far exceeds my expectations. I don't think I need this anymore. Are you going to prove it again?" Of course, he didn't need to say anything more. This small, ultra-low-cost production with three elements earned a box office of 15 million in just half a month after its release.
You must know that it is only 2006. This film was quietly released without any marketing promotion in advance and without big-name actors. In fact, it has proved the reasons stated by Liu Qingshan.
"So, may I ask Mr. Liu, why have you decided to come forward and reveal your identity now?"
"Two reasons. One is that this film and the production team have proven themselves through the existing box office, and the other is that various digging activities on the Internet have seriously affected the normal lives of the scriptwriters, such as Director Ning and Huang Bo Two actors, Guo Tao and Guo Tao, have almost been dug up about their bedwetting experiences when they were children. Who hasn’t asked for personal privacy? If I don’t stand up, they will go to sit in front of our house en masse!" At this time, The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded!
"Ah? Give me a straight face mask!"
"I want to see! I want to see! I want to see! Say important things three times!"
"It's actually Alien's script. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Ah ah, our alie is so awesome, so handsome, and even creative!"
"Licking the screen..."
"I want to report it! This is a dimensionality reduction attack!"
"They also have nine years of compulsory education, why is he always so good?"... By the way, the barrage format in the live broadcast room is the first of its kind in Huibao Video, and it is triggering a trend on global video websites. Follow the trend.
After Kong Jingyan asked a few questions, she no longer had the chance to speak. Facing the frantic reporters, Liu Qingshan could only choose to ask another person to ask questions.
"Mr. Liu, will your next work be released soon?" A reporter who was called by name almost shouted at the top of his lungs.
Liu Qingshan smiled: "You are talking about the "Big Event", right? Let me declare in advance that this gentleman is not my trustee!" The scene burst into laughter.
"Although it is suspected of being an advertisement, I have to tell the truth. Next month, that is, on Friday, July 21, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the premiere will be officially held in Hong Kong!" , attracted thousands of people to watch in Xiangjiang, and relevant information has been widely circulated around the world.
"So, there will be a grand premiere ceremony for Mr. Liu's premiere?"
"Today's topic is not that. Sir, I can only answer your last question! The premiere is just a formality, and I may not even appear at the scene. I am really too busy during this time! "He really doesn't want to go to the scene. Now he no longer needs this kind of publicity, and he plans to use this to push You Yong and Lin Jiadong out, and the publicity matters during the screening will be left to them.
Next, he forcibly stopped the questions directed at him, and instead gave the right to speak to Ning Hao and the others.
During this period, Ning Hao also revealed a little Easter egg to reporters, that is, Liu Qingshan once played a cameo role in the film with only the back view.
That scene only flashed for three seconds as it blended into the crowd. It was Liu Qingshan who was strongly requested by the director when he quietly visited the crew one day.
As soon as this information came out, not only the reporters were very excited, but the barrages on the Internet also exploded.
There is no doubt that with such a small gimmick, the next box office will have an amazing explosion again.
Although the final box office of the original version was only around RMB 23 million, for a small-budget movie with an investment of only RMB 3 million, it was already more than three times the net profit.
Due to Liu Qingshan's addition, this version is probably worth hundreds of millions in just a few days, not to mention that he plans to have the film released overseas.
Within a short time after the press conference ended, various theaters received information that even the reserved tickets for the next day were sold out.
This made the theaters under China Film Group burst into laughter because they had not planned to introduce this movie before, but in the end, it was Han Shanping's direct instruction that gave them the right to screen it.
The next day, various theaters in Chongqing were even more crowded. This situation was inevitable, because although there were no tickets at the box office, scalpers still had a lot of tickets in their hands.
However, when the hotel where he was staying was surrounded by fans, Liu Qingshan quietly took the opportunity to return to Tianjin. Next, the mainland box office of "Crazy Stone" really ushered in a full-scale explosion.
In the first week, the total box office exceeded 40 million. In the second week, the box office did not fall but increased, reaching 71 million.
In the third week, which was the last week of the original screening period, the total box office exceeded 100 million.
Faced with this situation, of course the theaters have already applied to extend the screening period. It is not uncommon to extend the screening of movies in China, and whether a movie can be postponed is mainly based on its performance in the market. As long as the movie sells well in the market, the distributor will often use a key extension method to extend its schedule to continue. Attract money.
Under this momentum, classic lines from the film began to spread among the people.
"This is my brand, xx road!"
"Don't touch me!"
"Let me tell you, I ran absolutely fast when I was in middle school, 100 meters in 12.5 seconds!"
"You insulted my character, and you insulted my IQ!"
"Now is the period when my career is on the rise. How can I leave?"
"What the heck!"
"Quality, pay attention to your quality!"
"Hey...hey...Brother Dao, I was locked under the well and didn't go out. Ah...ah...I haven't eaten for several days. You hurry up and think of a way..."
"This is purely a moral issue of yours, and I won't blame you for it."
"Is it a public toilet? Come when you want? Leave when you want?"
"Whenever I look at the city from this angle, I feel strongly that the city is the mother body, and we live in her womb. The world has changed, but there are no good people anymore!" Similar classic lines There are so many, and all kinds of memes derived from them are flying all over the Internet.
Liu Qingshan no longer paid attention to this, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the filming. Time flies so fast, and it’s early July in the blink of an eye. At this time, "The Sound of the Wind" has reached its final stage.
As the plot has reached the final stage of revealing the mystery, the entire crew has entered a state of lockdown, thus eliminating all close contact with irrelevant personnel.
Even the actors took the initiative to hand over their mobile phones and put their assistants on temporary leave. Everyone's attitude was quite serious.
Several actors whose scenes were completed did not leave the crew immediately, but chose to stay for free to do some supporting work.
This extremely professional attitude made Liu Qingshan quite happy. However, the atmosphere at the actual filming location was still extremely depressing.
In order to cover up, Gu Xiaomeng
"Old Gun" took the initiative to ask her friend Li Ningyu to report her. Gu Xiaomeng was killed after being tortured inhumanely, so she used her body to send the information out.
After her sacrifice,
"Old Gun" Wu Zhiguo was considered innocent and sent to the hospital for treatment. He pretended to be confused and sang an opera in the hospital. The responders in the hospital got the information through the opera tune and stopped the operation.
At the end of the war, Wu Zhiguo found Li Ningyu, told her the truth, and guided her to take out her cheongsam and see Gu Xiaomeng's suicide note.
Finally, Wu Zhiguo learned that Takeda was about to be sent back to the country, so he found Takeda and killed him after disguising himself.
The plot design of the original version later aroused a lot of doubts and even doubts. Fortunately, Liu Qingshan made some remedies in the previous plots.
For example, Wu Zhiguo conveyed information through singing in the hospital. This arrangement cannot withstand scrutiny.
Liu Qingshan's version is based on changing the singing voice to coincide with the telegram. In the previous plot, he specially added a musician as a character for this ending plot. In this way, every person in the hospital who changes the tone The responder will be able to tell.
During the entire filming period, the actors were in a very low mood. Especially during the filming of the scene where Gu Xiaomeng mended Li Ningyu's torn dress, many people cried.
Because they all knew in their hearts that Gu Xiaomeng was using his life to mend not only the damage to his clothes, but also to repair the collapsing national spirit in the society at that time, and to awaken the numb compatriots who were living an ignoble existence.
