my time as a director

The day before yesterday he might still have some concerns, but yesterday he cast a certificate and invited a group of film critics and media to attend the preview.

The result was acclaimed, which was what he expected. After all, it was the combination of Chen Kexin and Zhang Jin and Cheng Xiaodong. There were almost no technical flaws in literary drama, martial arts drama, and grand scene drama. The three of them were top directors of the same type. .

Even many film critics call it the best costume blockbuster, no less than a hero.

However, several acquainted film critics said that this film may have a certain threshold for ordinary audiences and requires certain historical knowledge.

In addition, it is too depressed, not suitable for the Lunar New Year file.

And the version they watched in the test screening was the uncensored version, which had been deleted for 10 minutes after being rejected by Optoelectronics.

These familiar film critics all have the same taste as Ma Xiaogang, otherwise they wouldn't be able to play together.

Ma Xiaogang thinks that he is the director in China who knows what the audience wants to see the most. Since his friends say so, he can't be wrong.

Moreover, he had seen the original assassination case of the nomination certificate in the early years, and revisited it in the past two months, knowing himself and the enemy.

Even if it is changed, it is estimated that it will not completely break away from this story. The core should be the same, so it is indeed not so easy to sell.

Even with the three superstars Li Lianlian, Liu Dehua, and Jin Chengwu, Ma Xiaogang is not afraid at all.

Previously, Huo Yuanjia's box office of Li Lianlian's monoclonal antibody exceeded [-] million yuan, but that was Li Lianlian's best type.

Even though The Certificate of Fame is also a movie from the late Qing Dynasty, Li Lianlian's role is completely different from any of his previous roles.

As for Liu Dehua and Jin Chengwu, it is undeniable that they are undoubted superstars throughout Asia.

But the two of them together are not as appealing as Li Lianlian.

The content of the movie itself is not easy to sell, and the combined box office appeal of actors and directors is not as good as their own.

That's right, Ma Xiaogang is so confident, leaving Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, Jin Chengwu, Chen Kexin who is good at his own genre, he can't match the appeal of his own mainland film industry.

This is the appeal he has accumulated from works that the audience likes in the past ten years!

Ma Xiaogang, who is in a good mood, is now much calmer towards Deng Chao, and sometimes talks and laughs, and is no longer that kind of alienating politeness.

He didn't go for Deng Chao himself. In fact, Deng Chao's performance made him very satisfied.

What he was upset about was that someone else had appointed an actor, no matter who the actor was or how well he acted, he was just unhappy.

"Hanyu, Deng Chao, when will your movie be released?"

In the car rushing to the movie theater road show, Ma Xiaogang asked about the frequency of life and death that the two of them filmed.

"December 12th, the premiere seems to be undecided." Zhang Hanyu said.

"I'll take a look when I'm free. It seems that I heard that you two are playing father and son this time?"

Ma Xiaogang was a little curious about what kind of father and son they could play after they played brothers and comrades-in-arms in Assembly, and then went to play father and son in another movie.

Soon, the car arrived at the destination of the road show, downstairs of the shopping mall where the cinema was located.

When they went up, it happened that the movie was over and they just entered.

Facing the cheers of the audience, Ma Xiaogang walked in with the crew and waved to the audience.

The road show also took photos with the fans, interacted with them, and chatted after the show.

And deal with the reporter Ma Xiaogang hates the most.

Soon he came to the part he hated the most, but as a director at his level, he didn't have any scruples. He didn't have to pay attention to his image.

But today's interview was considered normal, until he suddenly caught a glimpse of the familiar figure of the first brother in the back row.

That person didn't squeeze forward like other reporters, and stood in the back row without haste.

After a while, when all the questions that should be asked were finished, he squeezed away the few colleagues in front of him and came up together.

This person is exactly Zhang Yang, but he is not in a hurry, don't look at these people and ask a lot of questions, but in fact there is no nutrition at all.

"Hello, Director Ma. I'm Zhang Yang, a reporter from Sina Entertainment. Before the casting, a small-scale screening was held. The reputation is very good. People in the industry praised it as the best costume blockbuster in recent years. What do you think, Director Ma?"

Ma Xiaogang knew Zhang Yang, and after he left the press conference that day, there were rumors in the entertainment circle that he was forced to leave the show by a small reporter, which made him feel ashamed.

And since then, I can often see him in public, and every interview is more insidious, as if he is targeting himself.

Ma Xiaogang suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said lightly, "Well, I haven't watched the movie yet, so I don't have any opinion."

"The reputation of the nomination certificate is very good. Director Ma, do you think there will be pressure on the assembly number?"

"The pressure is mutual. It is because of one good movie after another that our Huaguo movie industry can develop better and better."

"Recently, there is a sci-fi movie, The Frequency of Life and Death, which is scheduled for December 12th. The director of this movie is Li Qian, who has filmed two classic movies, Sniper Phone Booth and Jaws. This time he brings a new sci-fi movie that took a month to shoot Aiming to hit the Lunar New Year show, Ma Dao, do you think the addition of an additional opponent to the Lunar New Year show will have any impact on the box office of the assembly number?"

"I don't think there will be any impact. There are more movies on the Lunar New Year file, and people will watch them when they are finished."

"However, Director Li Qian's previous movie Jaws set a record of 400 million viewers. This time it landed on the Lunar New Year file, and also shouted the goal of breaking the box office of [-] million. If it is achieved, it will be the youngest box office of [-] million yuan in China. Club members."

Aim to exceed [-] million?

Now Ma Xiaogang was shocked, it seemed that the director was only in his early twenties, and he was so loud at such a young age, which was really unprecedented.

Thinking about it again, it seems that the movie he just said was shot in a month.

Ma Xiaogang has not paid attention to this, Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao did not take the initiative to talk about the filming of the frequency of life and death, afraid that he would be upset again.

"You just said that the film was only filmed for a month? Is it a science fiction film? He still thinks it's filming for fun."

"Also, the first time you make a movie, you need to earn [-] million at the box office. Young people should still keep their feet on the ground, and they can't become a big fat man with one bite."

Ma Xiaogang immediately put on the airs of a senior, pretending to be educating the younger generation.

He had seen conceited young people before, but he had never seen such a conceited young man before.

The first movie wants to break [-] million, so you might as well grab the money.

He also doesn't feel that what he said is too much. This is to criticize the younger generation. It is normal in any industry, and young people have to accept it with humility.

But that's all, the assembly number is the main theme of the movie, and it needs official support. If you scold this and that on the news every day, the higher-ups will feel that it will not be affected.

Zhang Yang wanted to come up with more words step by step, but he didn't expect Ma Xiaogang to change his sex this time, so he could only return disappointed.

However, he went to inquire about the movement of the life and death frequency crew, and was going to provoke Li Qian.

Looking at the recent situation, this Li Qian is also an arrogant person, it is best to let him and Ma Xiaogang confront each other in the air.

However, he was disappointed again. It was still too early for Life and Death Frequency to be released. After the press conference was announced, Li Qian would not show up for half a month. He couldn't see it even if he wanted to.
