Putting aside the awesome topic, the reporters were probably afraid of hearing something they couldn't understand from Cheng Er again, so they put the question back to the actor.
As the male lead, Li Tang, who also won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival for this film, was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
"Excuse me, Li Tang. You have collaborated with two heroines in movies before. This time you collaborated with two beauties at the same time. Do you have any stories you can share with us?"
The question suddenly jumped from a serious art discussion to behind-the-scenes gossip, which caught people off guard. Moreover, when Li Tang looked at the wretched-looking middle-aged male reporter in his forties who asked the question, his first reaction was to stir up trouble. Definitely stirring up trouble on purpose.
"Actually, this collaboration between me and two beauties, Bingbing and Qinqin, was precisely because we had worked together before and became good friends, so they were willing to come and help. I am not afraid of being embarrassed here. To be honest, I just had no money at the time. , they were invited to come over without any negotiation about pay, including my senior brother Xu Zheng. Speaking of the story, I can only say that the two beauties and my senior brother Xu Zheng are very affectionate. Here I want to express my gratitude to them. Thanks again!”
Although Li Tang cleverly avoided the question, Jiang Qinqin, Fan Xiaopang and Xu Zheng are now well-known actors and celebrities, so it is news that they can appear in friendship.
Immediately, a reporter asked Fan Xiaopang: "Bingbing, I heard that you also promoted several TV dramas for this movie, right?"
In fact, the film appointments that Xiaopang recommended were all for the preparation of "Jade Guanyin". Now she is happy to spread the rumors without explaining, and said with a smile: "It's because I have a good relationship with Teacher Li!"
As she spoke, she calmed down her smile and said seriously: "Actually, the more important thing is that the script attracted me. Ever since I got the initial script, I have not stopped communicating with Teacher Li and the director. I have a lot of feelings for the character Xiao Ke." , I am more interested in her, so I am willing to turn down other roles even if I don’t get paid. It can be said that this is the character I have the most emotional investment in. What attracts me to her is her release. I was previously filming "Your Life Is Like This" I often felt depressed when I was playing "Sentimental". It was also the need of the character, and this time I could vent my emotions to my heart's content. Moreover, the story itself also provided me with a larger performance space, and I could present more diverse characters. state."
At the end, she turned to look at Li Tang with a smile and said, "Teacher Li just said thank you. In fact, I think I should thank him and the director more for giving me the opportunity to be on the big screen this time."
I have to say that Xiaopang's eloquence has been well developed in the past two years. Then she shared some interesting things during filming with reporters. For example, when filming a scene where she and Li Tang were interrogating in the room, in order to ensure the emotional stability Full, director Cheng Er hopes to use an eight-minute long shot to complete the film in one go.
She was at a loss at first because she had no experience in performing on stage. She even joked that this was not a movie, it was clearly a play. She could only rehearse over and over again with Li Tang, and finally completed the director's request and won unanimous praise from the on-site staff.
Of course, she also mentioned that Li Tang was very helpful to her. He not only discussed the characters with her, but also personally helped her design the character movements, which benefited her a lot.
Seeing the chubby guy talking about this with excitement, Jiang Qinqin curled her lips imperceptibly.
Reporters had many questions, and the creators took the trouble to answer them all. In fact, the more controversial it is, it is a good thing for the movie and can arouse the curiosity of the audience.
In two days, Li Tang and the main creators visited several famous movie theaters in downtown SH, and the effect was very obvious. Every time they arrived at a movie theater, the screening hall was packed with seats.
On the third day, Li Tang, Xiaopang and Cheng Er boarded the flight to the capital. Jiang Qinqin had to report to the Peach Blossom Island crew, while Xu Zheng was still busy filming the time-travel drama.
Before the release of the Hollywood blockbuster "The Mummy 2" on October 11, the three of them visited several key cities. When promoting in Nanjing, Baldy Xu actually brought the heroine of his time-travel drama with him. Nowadays, the popular actress Wanwan came to support her. It seems that the bald man has a good rapport with women, but I don't know if he is actually doing fake things.
In Hangzhou, Jiang Qinqin took the trouble to come from Taohua Island and went to Ningbo with them to promote the event.
At the same time, the evaluation of "The Third Man" in the media and on the Internet has also become polarized. The reason is very simple, because the audience who have watched "The Third Man" is divided into two waves, those who understand it and those who do not.
Those who understood it thought it was very interesting and engaging, and started playing the second and third time. Those who didn’t understood it were confused the whole time, and the constant flashbacks were even more confusing. The nearly two hours of the movie left me confused. One hour.
As a suspense movie, "The Third Man" creates a suspenseful atmosphere not only through narrative, but also through the setting of details. Various details require not only careful observation by the audience, but also careful thinking.
For example, why did Guangtou Xu, who played Lin Mo, commit suicide? At first glance, it seems that nothing is explained in the movie, but if you look closely, you will find that when Xiao Ke held the silver photo frame, there was a photo of Lin Mo and a woman in the photo frame, but Lin Mo was always the only one in Lin Mo's home.
Then through the pickup truck with the headlights that Li Tang saw when he was repairing the car in the garage, and this car belonged to Lin Mo, several clues were connected in series, and it was not difficult to interpret that the people in the silver photo frame were actually Lin Mo and him. A photo of his wife. Lin Mo had a car accident while driving and his wife died, which made him no longer want to live.
It is also not difficult to explain why Xiao Ke took the initiative to come to the door, but he did not commit any crime.
It is precisely through this kind of detailed narration that Cheng Er broke a story with a clear main line and a relatively simple plot into pieces. Just like a jigsaw puzzle, it takes two and three brushes to piece together the entire movie according to the details of the story.
As Cheng Er said at the premiere, this movie is about letting the audience feel involved.
But to put it bluntly, audiences watch movies just to have fun, and they don’t bother watching the second or third time just to feel involved. Therefore, the theater may be very busy when the road show is promoting, but once they leave, there will be very few people watching.
Especially today, they visited two theaters in Ningbo, but none of them were full. The reason is simple, because "The Mummy 2" is released today.
However, from the data point of view, it is not too terrible after all. From the premiere on October 5th to the end of the seven-day golden week, the box office in Shanghai exceeded one million in three days, the capital 600,000, and several other key cities from hundreds of thousands to Ranging from two to three million, the total box office in the three days exceeded three million.
If we count it as one million, at least the travel expenses and copying expenses for the publicity roadshow during this period, including the compensation for Xiaopang, Xu Baldy, and Jiang Qinqin, can be considered as production.
…
Li Tang carried a large plastic bag containing seven or eight lunch boxes in one hand and a wooden box in the other. He walked to the door of the room. He couldn't ring the doorbell, so he could only kick the door twice with his feet.
"Brother Li!"
It was Jiang Qinqin's assistant Xiao Tang who opened the door. He quickly reached out to take the heavy plastic bag from Li Tang's hand.
"No, no, no, be careful about spilling the soup."
The lunch box was filled with packaged vegetables. In order to prevent the soup from spilling, Li Tang took it very carefully.
Go straight through the door and carefully place it on the coffee table.
"Hey, where is Cheng Er?"
There were only Xiaopang, Jiang Qinqin and their assistants in the room, and there was no sign of Cheng Er.
"Director Cheng said he wanted to visit Sanjiangkou."
Xiaopang responded, couldn't wait to open the plastic bag, and took out the lunch box from inside.
Naturally, when you arrive in Ningbo, you can’t miss out on the specialty red paste crabs here, as well as Ningbo braised goose, fried shrimps in oil, stir-fried shredded beef, etc. As for the most famous stinky winter melon, seaweed stems, stinky thousand pieces, etc., Li Tang didn’t dare Yes, these things are so smelly, I'm afraid they will stink up the two beauties.
The wooden box contained two bottles of Great Wall 92 dry red.
Today is the last stop of the publicity road show. Tomorrow Li Tang and Jiang Qinqin will report to Peach Blossom Island. The start date of "Jade Guanyin" on Xiaopang's side has been set and they will also fly to Yunnan.
Although the reputation is polarizing, the box office is still acceptable, so it is natural to celebrate it.
Xiao Tang knew how to wink. When Li Tang entered the room, he pulled Wang Shasha and retreated consciously.
"Bo!"
Li Tang opened a bottle of red wine, poured one-third into each of the three red wine glasses, picked up the glass and said, "Everyone has worked hard this time. Come on, do one first!"
Second update!
