Dad's Entertainment Life

Chapter 636 Premiere of "Laputa in the Sky"

Lin Qirong stayed in the crew for a while, watching the actors play vivid roles in front of his eyes.

Xu Sanduo who grew up from a poor soldier to a king of soldiers, Cheng Cai who is good at drilling camps, gentle Shi Jin, stubborn Wu Liuyi, strong Gao Cheng, and godlike Yuan Lang...
Each of the characters with vivid images keeps growing in various good and bad choices in their respective lives, converging into an excellent military story, with laughter, tears, and the solemn oath: "Never abandon, never give up." ".

He Yijun did not forget Lin Qirong's point, and understood that this TV series is not about Xu Sanduo's story alone, but about soldiers' stories. He has portrayed every character with flesh and blood, and together they have supported the skeleton of the show. .

There are no tense and suffocating dramatic plots, no dazzling shots and bloody scenes, but its slightly simple delicacy and passion make people feel a lot.

The ending that made Lin Qirong most regrettable has a new change in the hands of He Yijun. The final exercise code-named SILENCE has become the climax of the whole play. Everyone has played their own role in it, and various equipments are also used in turn. It is wonderful , Xu Sanduo also showed the edge of a real soldier king here.

Although the whole drama was stretched a lot because of this, Lin Qirong thought it was worth it.

"It's very exciting." He said to He Yijun, "It's even better than I imagined."

He Yijun nodded, "There are still many details that need to be worked out, and we can do better. I hope you will support me."

"Of course, this is your crew, you have the final say, anyway, it's Jiayin who manages the money, isn't it?"

He Yijun nodded gratefully. Without Lin Qirong's support, it would be impossible for him to shoot such an excellent work.

Lin Qirong thumped his chest, "We will start filming our first movie in the second half of the year, are you ready?"

"Of course, I have been preparing for a long time."

"Then let's work together."

"it is good."

By the time Lin Qirong left the film crew and returned to the Shanghai stock market, it was already the end of June. After a period of rest, the summer vacation officially arrived.

"Tongtong will continue to study with Teacher Liang this summer vacation." Zuo Youran and Lin Qirong discussed the summer vacation, "Then she will go to the United States to participate in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. We have received an invitation before that, Tongtong Tong is going to participate in the children's competition."

Lin Qirong knew about this. In fact, since Tongtong performed in the Golden Hall, she has been well-known in the music and art circles all over the world, and she is often invited to many events.

The Van Cliburn International Piano Competition is one of the most famous piano competitions. It is also known as the top ten piano competitions in the world together with the International Chopin Piano Works Competition and other piano competitions. It is a good opportunity for Tongtong to practice. Naturally, Lin Qirong He didn't want Tongtong to miss such an opportunity.

"It seems that you will spend this summer vacation in Kyoto again." Lin Qirong rubbed Tongtong's hair, "Do you think you don't like it?"

Tong Tong shook his head, "As long as I'm with my parents, it's not hard, and I like playing the piano and performing on stage."

Lin Qirong was a little absent-minded, and he showed more and more special things in Tongtong, such as a strong desire to perform, which should be inherited from Wu Tongyu. Since high school, she has been the most active person in the school. Every school party There will be her name on it, and definitely the brightest one of the night.

Tongtong is really similar to her in this respect.

And living together with Lin Qirong and Zuo Youran, under the influence of her ears and eyes, her music appreciation level has improved a lot, and her whole temperament has also undergone a considerable transformation. She has already shown a good temperament at a young age.

This kind of her seems to be born suitable for the stage.

"Then go ahead, Mom and Dad will be with you." Lin Qirong smiled, turned his head and said to Zuo Youran, "I want to shoot "Longing for Life", and then I will go to Kyoto to meet you and go to the United States to participate in the competition. At the same time, let’s travel as a family.”

Zuo Youran chuckled and nodded, "I see."

······
With the beginning of the summer vacation, the film market has ushered in a golden period called the summer file, and students have become the main force for watching movies.

This period is the golden time for animated films, and major companies naturally don't want to miss this opportunity, and have released their long-prepared animated films one after another, preparing to make a fortune during this period.

Animation giants such as Fengteng Animation and Longfei Animation are no exception. One is preparing to launch a big movie with a popular IP. Relying on the popularity of this IP and the popularity accumulated after the adaptation of animation, I believe there will be good results.

This time, Longfei Animation has made a big deal and released an ancient style animation film, telling a moving story, which is highly anticipated.

But none of this obscured the light of another company.

Before the summer file started, Tonghua Animation announced its release plan. In the summer file, Tonghua Animation will launch two animated films in a row.

One is the theatrical version of the cartoon "Doraemon Doraemon", which is very popular among children. In this theatrical version, Doraemon Doraemon will embark on a wonderful adventure with Nobita, Xiaoxiang and other friends. Few parents and children look forward to it.

The other one is the animated movie "Castle in the Sky" produced by Tonghua Animation. From the promotional posters and videos that have been released one after another, it can be seen that this is a passionate story about the adventures of young men and women. The huge Castle in the Sky The city and the moving scenery attracted the attention of many viewers.

"Although I don't know what the story is, Tonghua's production must be a high-quality product. With the name of Lin Qirong and Tonghua's animation, I want to watch this movie."

There are a lot of viewers with this idea, which made this animated film receive a lot of reservations after it was announced, and became one of the most watched animated films in the entire summer.

And its competitors in the same period are also very strong. The comedy "Smiling Face" starring famous comedians is eyeing the summer season, and the superhero movie "Condor" from Hollywood is even more menacing, and it is about to rule the entire world. Summer schedule.

In this case, no one dares to give an answer as to what kind of results "Castle in the Sky" and "Doraemon" can achieve.

"Although they are menacing, we must notice that our opponents are not them." Lin Qirong reassured his subordinates in this way, "First, the two are not incompatible. Like watching "Condor Man" does not mean Don’t like watching our movies anymore.

Second, our main position is the daytime file, while the main position of movies such as "Condor Man" is the night file, where the two sides rarely meet.

Third, no matter how the film is arranged, the box office will always be determined by the quality of the movie, whether it can be liked or not.

If our movie can move the audience and make them willing to buy tickets to watch it, that is the most important thing. "

Under the leadership of such thinking, "Castle in the Sky" chose to confront the two blockbusters head-on, and did not avoid their edge, and its release date happened to be the day before "Condor Man" and the day after "Smiling". , being caught in the middle looks very unfavorable.

At least it looks very unfavorable in many public opinion media.

In such an atmosphere, "Laputa in the Sky" ushered in its premiere.

At the premiere, in addition to Lin Qirong and other executives of the Tonghua Group, many guests came to join in. Ma Chang and Gong Xingping were also present to join in the show. They are all investors in this animated film, so naturally turn up.

Animation companies such as Longfei Animation and Fengteng Animation also sent representatives to attend. Tonghua Animation has a lot of cooperation with various companies. Naturally, everyone is willing to join in and want to know what kind of achievements this animation film can achieve.

"The screening rate is good." Gong Xingping was surprised by the screening rate of "Sky City" when he saw the screening rate of various theaters across the country.

Although it is mainly in the daytime, the overall film scheduling rate is as high as 30%, which is really a good figure in this golden period, and even at night, it is not impossible to find the trace of this animated film, there are still nearly 15% Filming rate.

"It's all thanks to the support of my peers." Lin Qirong smiled lightly.

At present, enterprises such as Tonghua Group have begun to enter the theater market and begin to build their own theater chains across the country. It is believed that the number of theater chains in China will increase by about one-third by then.

But after all, it has not yet been officially put into operation. "Castle in the Sky" can have a good filming rate, mainly because Tonghua Group has a good relationship with all parties.

Especially in the seminar in the Guanzhong area, although Lin Qirong raised opinions that were unfavorable to the theaters, it did not mean that his relationship with the theaters was not good.

In fact, everyone is unwilling to offend this superstar who has the Wen family and Xu Anshun behind him, and is also a superstar with super influence. "City" was able to still have such a high screening rate under the attack of two blockbuster films.

"But even so, if the box office performance is not good in the future, each theater will immediately reduce your screening rate and replace it with other movies with good box office.

They are the most realistic. They only care about which ones can make money and will not give face to anyone. Even those blockbusters will be quickly released if they fail at the box office. "

Gong Xingping reminded.

"I understand this. No matter how effective the publicity is at the beginning and how high the screening rate is, it is the quality of the movie itself that ultimately determines the box office."

Lin Qirong replied, "We are very aware of this matter, and I have confidence in our movie."

"I'm looking forward to it too." Gong Xingping said with a smile.

He wanted to know why Lin Qirong had such confidence in this animated film.

Even in the face of two blockbusters, one inside and one outside.

In his doubts, the premiere officially began.
