Li Yi is very busy, really busy!
The filming progress of "Garland Under the Mountain" cannot be stopped. After all, the National Day schedule has been set.
Therefore, when the movie show here ended, he rushed back without stopping.
For the release and promotion of "A Story More Sad Than Sad", Li Yi at best participated in the promotion indirectly through the Internet.
After the release of "A Story More Sad Than Sad", it dominated the box office during the Chinese Valentine's Day period, but it set a new low in ratings for Li Yi's works (excluding "Bitter Life").
Just like the reaction at the movie viewing party earlier, people who like it can directly give the movie a full score, while those who don't like it can directly give it the lowest score.
It can be considered a real polarization.
Chen Wen and others also chatted with Li Yi about this movie in their spare time.
"The way the story is told in "A Story More Sad than Sad" is quite innovative. It is presented through different characters' perspectives. It is a romance film. I feel like you are not very good at it. The story is a bit too bloody!" Others in the circle Perhaps even if he didn't like the actor, he would praise him in front of Li Yi, but Chen Wen was not only an actor, but they were also brothers, so he spoke frankly.
"Yes, after all, my love experience cannot be compared with yours, Brother Wen!" Li Yi said sarcastically.
Speaking of Chen Wen, his emotional experience is absolutely wonderful. He has been divorced three times.
And the gossip news never stops.
"You're not an actor, you don't understand. You can't blame me! I just got too involved in the drama!" Chen Wen raised his head forty-five times, looking as if his life was as lonely as snow.
"Brother Wen is awesome (broken sound)!" Lin Yunbin on the side couldn't help laughing.
Although Lin Yunbin is also an actor, he is a junior and a man, so at most he shouted 666 from the sidelines, and I guess he was definitely envious of Chen Wen in his heart.
But Chu Xuexiang, who played Lin Yunbin's wife Han Yuxiu, didn't give Chen Wen any face.
Chu Xuexiang rolled her eyes and said: "Don't make excuses for being a scumbag. I think Director Li's film is very good. It's better to fall in love and be devoted to it. It's better than you to love one, marry another, and then forget about your new love." Good old love!"
"Xue Xiang, that's not right. How can I like the new and dislike the old? I like the new but never dislike the old, okay?" Chen Wen retorted. The result was that Li Yi and others looked at him like a scumbag.
Chu Xuexiang said more directly: "You are worse than a pure scumbag!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone was happy to see Chen Wen deflated.
As for Chu Xuexiang, although she is not as famous as Chen Wen, everyone including Li Yi admires and respects her.
There are many celebrities and actors in the entertainment industry who do charity work, but she is the most unique one. Chu Xuexiang, a famous actress, debuted at the age of 20. She has filmed a large number of film and television works for more than ten years and earned a lot of money. Not much.
But she used all the money for charity.
Other celebrities do some charity and donate some money, hoping to let the whole world know about it.
But she didn't, she had always been very low-key.
This probably has a lot to do with her experience. She was born in a single-parent family. Her father died young and her mother raised her single-handedly. But when she was eighteen years old, her mother was diagnosed with leukemia. The orphan and widowed mother simply could not afford to treat this disease.
After the school found out about this, they raised funds for her at the school, and her teacher even called reporters to ask for help from the society. She was lucky. People from all walks of life donated generously to raise enough money for treatment. At the same time, the bone marrow matching was successful and her mother's disease was cured. Although she only lived for three more years, she died due to recurrence.
But Chu Xuexiang is still grateful to those kind people who allowed her mother to live and accompany her for three more years.
After her mother passed away, she entered the entertainment industry, became an actor, and began her philanthropic career.
Unlike others, she has always done charity and other things in a low-key manner, and has never cared about the praise and criticism from the outside world.
She also kidnapped others immorally. She once said that she was not actually doing charity. She was just repaying her kindness and repaying the kindness of saving her mother. But more because of this, she can be said to be truly well-known in the circle.
Therefore, everyone including Chen Wen, Li Yi and others admired Chu Xuexiang immensely.
Because Li Yi asked himself that it was difficult to be as pure as Chu Xuexiang, he admired her even more.
"Xue Xiang, didn't you say before that you were planning to make a public welfare film based on your own experience? Why is there nothing more?" Chen Wen immediately changed the subject and asked.
Chu Xuexiang said with a wry smile: "I have researched the domestic public welfare film market and found that the box office of most public welfare films is very unsatisfactory. It is more about the form than the actual meaning.
Everyone present nodded.
It is true that there are actually many public welfare films in China, but because they involve public welfare, it is usually difficult to commercialize the films after they are made, and the box office is naturally unsatisfactory.
As Chu Xuexiang said, form is greater than actual meaning.
"This is a dilemma. Public welfare movies are in the name of public welfare, so the content cannot be too commercial. However, if it is not commercialized, it will be difficult to attract audiences to buy tickets and even make profits. Therefore, it must be The form is more important than the actual meaning. If you want to raise money, just make a commercial movie. If you have the box office, you will have everything!" Chen Wen said.
"But film investment itself has great risks. Who dares to say that you can make a profit without losing money?" Chu Xuexiang shook his head.
"If there is a loss, then
Chu Xuexiang didn't say it, but everyone knew that movies like this always
Once you lose money, you are really doing bad things with good intentions, and it can easily cause controversy.
"Li Yi, what are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed in it?"
Chen Wen noticed that Li Yi had been silent and even seemed to be wandering, so he couldn't help but push him.
Li Yi came back to his senses and said apologetically: "It's nothing, I just got some inspiration from listening to you guys talking."
Yes, his unreliable golden finger triggered.
And this time it is another "cancer" themed movie.
Of course, it is different from previous movies such as "Get Out! Tumor King", but it is a more realistic movie. Swish, brush, brush!
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"I forgot, you are not only a director, but also a gold medal screenwriter. How about it? What's the story?" Chen Wen asked curiously.
Everyone else also looked at Li Yi curiously.
"Just now I thought of Sister Xiang's experience, and a story about leukemia suddenly came to mind." Li Yi said.
"A story about leukemia?" Chu Xuexiang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because the charity she has been doing is dedicated to helping leukemia patients, and her mother also died of leukemia.
"Well, but it's not perfect yet... Li Yi didn't directly tell the content of the story.
It's not that it's imperfect, but that the movie in his memory has a prototype in reality, and it's a realistic movie, so he needs to understand the relevant real-life information about this world before watching it.
