rewrite life

The premiere of "The Lottery" was scheduled for the first day of National Day, that is, at eight o'clock in the evening on October [-]st.As early as a few days ago, Sugar Juice Studio had invited well-known domestic media reporters to attend the premiere.And reached an agreement with X City TV Station, the process of the premiere will be broadcast live on X City TV Station.

In fact, according to the suggestion given by Sugar Juice Studio, I originally wanted to put the live broadcast rights of the premiere on the Internet, because everyone thought it would be unrealistic to put it on TV.Unexpectedly, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi's hometown X City TV station took the initiative to call the film to apply for the live broadcast rights of the film's premiere... For a small station like X City TV Station, no matter what program is broadcast during the National Day, they can only get [-]% Such an embarrassing ratings of a few tenths.That being the case, it's better to use the reputation of the sugar juice group to fight, it would be better if it can increase the ratings.Even if it can't... it will be a good publicity stunt if it goes online with the hottest sugar juice combination in China.

Considering various factors, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi also decided to finalize this cooperation.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, the invited guests had rushed over in twos and threes.Among these guests are domestic famous stars, colleagues in the industry, and even more authoritative film critics with sharp pens.All the invited stars attended in full dress, and left stunning photos in front of the dazzling spotlight.

The premiere ceremony that night was full of stars, and even Yun Xiaoting, who had worked hard abroad, found time to come back and walk the red carpet, let alone some other stars who wanted to take this opportunity to get online with Sugar Juice Studio.For a moment, all the media were so excited that they pressed the shutter again and again, and they did not spare the film.

For Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi, attending the premiere, walking on the red carpet, being chased by all the media and lights... All these things are all too familiar. Can't arouse too much nervousness.

But for Jin Zheng and the other two male protagonists of "Lottery", this is their first experience on the big screen, it is their screen Virgo, and it is the place where their dreams started.All the main creative staff are dreaming that the movie "The Lottery" can become an instant hit and become famous overnight like its investor and producer sugar juice combination-even the director Xu Hao and the screenwriter Zhang Ye also hope so.

It's a pity that the media and guests who came to the premiere didn't have much interest in the film's main creative team. Everyone focused on the most popular and hottest sugar juice combination in China.Faced with the endless greetings from the guests and the continuous questions from the media, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi only briefly answered a few questions, briefly mentioned the crew of "Our Youth" who came to support the show, and handed over the host to the audience. Xu Hao and several other leading actors.After all, Sugar Juice Studio held this premiere ceremony, in addition to promoting the movie, it still wanted to focus on Xu Hao and others.

Zhou Boyun of Emperor Entertainment, as the sole partner of Sugar Juice Studio and the former owner of Sugar Juice Group, naturally also attended the premiere of "Lottery".Seeing Xu Hao and the others who were in a hurry but enjoying themselves surrounded by all the media, Zhou Boyun shook his head, turned his head and asked Tang Shi beside him: "Do you really think this movie has potential, and these people have potential? "

There was one sentence that Zhou Boyun kept in his stomach and didn't say.He can't look down on these young actors who are crooked and can't even speak Mandarin clearly.Therefore, he was slightly suspicious of Tang Shi's vision.

Tang Shi smiled slightly when he heard this, and said with a sense of mystery: "Mr. Zhou will know soon whether there is any potential."

Zhou Boyun raised his eyebrows with great interest. In fact, many times he was very curious about where Tang Shi's self-confidence came from.It seemed that from the first time he met Tang Shi, this man had always looked confident and at ease. People who didn't know it thought he could really know the future.

If it's possible... Zhou Boyun really wants to see the day when Tang Shi can make a big somersault.He wondered if Tang Shi at that time would still be such a proud son of heaven. Tang Shi was so confident that Tang Shi didn't know Zhou Boyun's secret fantasy, because after nearly half an hour of interviews with reporters, the next thing was The premiere of the movie is up.

When the lights in the cinema were dimmed and the big screen was turned on, the logo of the sugar juice studio, which was so cute that the child was stealing sweets, appeared first, and everyone who saw it smiled knowingly.As soon as the screen changed, a crowded train station appeared on the big screen. The factory owner played by Jin Zheng stood in front of the train station, looked at the hundred or so migrant workers in front of him with a sad face, and handed over dozens of lottery tickets and train tickets to him one by one. I distributed it to all the workers, and explained that I was cheated and owed a lot of foreign debts. The factory could no longer operate, and there was no money to pay everyone. I could only give each person a lottery ticket and a ticket to go home. Let's talk...

The youngest migrant worker, Goudan, couldn't accept that the boss paid them wages in this way, so the two had a hilarious answer that was irrelevant.Immediately afterwards, the picture changed again, an old man who was about to die made a will in front of the hospital bed, to give his ordinary property to his first love, Cui Niu.The old man's son did not agree with the old man's actions. In order to destroy the will, the old man's son decided to find a killer to kill Cui Niu and her descendants...

Then the thief took advantage of all the migrant workers arguing with the factory owner and stole everyone's wallets and lottery tickets.At the same time, everyone discovers the news of winning the lottery from the newspapers discarded by passengers, and starts looking for the thief.Look at the killer who came to the train station and was targeted by a group of migrant workers...

At the beginning of the movie, the rules of ordinary movies were broken, and the three groups of people who were originally unrelated were brought together in a nonsensical way.Although there are no big names in the whole movie, there are no eye-catching special effects shots.Some are just a group of scumbag migrant workers and supporting characters who are definitely not handsome men and women.

However, only relying on the director's ability to tell stories and the simple and authentic performances of several leading actors, all the audience was attracted by the plot. Even some professional film critics forgot their own work, forgot to analyze the director's techniques, shots The use of the film, the acting skills of the actors...they put all their attention into the film.

And the unconventional non-happy ending of the film is also very thought-provoking...

The thief lost the lottery ticket in the process of catching the killer with everyone.In the end, the special prize of 500 million yuan was just like that, and no one got it.But the big guys worked together to catch the killer and send him to the Public Security Bureau.After interrogating the killer, the relevant departments found Cui Niu.It's a pity that Cui Niu passed away a few years ago because of her age.This inheritance was finally handed over to the descendants of Cui Niu.

The descendant was very moved when he learned that he was able to obtain a large amount of property while ensuring his safety because of the help of a group of migrant workers.In the end, this descendant found the factory owner and the group of migrant workers with the help of the police station, and decided to help the factory owner repay the factory's debts and become the largest shareholder of the factory.She paid these migrant workers a year's salary on behalf of the factory owner, so that these well-meaning people can have money to go home for the New Year.And the thief was finally accepted by everyone because of his conscience-discovering behavior, and became a new worker in the factory...

It's almost the same as Tang Shi's memory. This small-investment, low-cost movie was just released, and it immediately caused a very wide impact in the society.The box office on the first day was 500 million. On the day of the premiere, the 5000 million production cost of the film was recovered. Although it failed to exceed the 3000 million box office of the commercial film "Sincerely" directed by Chen Xiaogang with a large investment of [-] million, it also became the National Day Golden Week. The schedule is a well-deserved dark horse at the box office.

At the same time, the film's unique rhythm and ingenious plot concept have also been praised by all film critics, so that the film "Lottery" has also been praised by the majority of fans after it has achieved a relatively large box office revenue.

"Hua Guo Daily" commented: "Different from those movies released in China that generally have a happy ending, in "Lottery", this very ordinary and even slightly regrettable ending is actually very realistic. It also makes everyone While watching the film, I really thought about the meaning of "good intentions are rewarded". Although the main theme of the film is a funny film, it is full of strong humanistic feelings and shining points of human nature, which makes this film a classic... ..."

"Entertainment Star Weekly" commented: "Xu Hao is a director who is very good at telling stories. His talent and aura have been clearly demonstrated in the movie "Lottery". We can look forward to the growth and development of this young director. Transformation. Of course, I have to praise the unique vision of the Sugar Juice Group. As an investor and producer of the film, the Sugar Juice Group has made a lot of money with this low-cost movie. At the same time, its studio also signed The two talented directors and screenwriters including Xu Hao and Zhang Ye..."

"Big Movie" commented: "This is a movie worthy of your careful viewing and repeated scrutiny..."

But some people like it and some people hate it.Most of the domestic mainstream media and movie fans' evaluations of "The Lottery" are full of praise.However, there are also some media and film critics who believe that the content of the movie "Lottery" is too messy, and the main line is not clear. The director suspected of showing off his skills during the filming process.In the film, the performances of the actors are a bit exaggerated. Under the well-thought-out lines and repeatedly honed acting skills, it is still difficult to hide the jerkyness of the first "electric shock".The most important thing is the style of the film. The overall picture is rather dark and simple, which really does not fit the gorgeous and bright image that the Sugar Juice combination has always given people...

Some people even commented on the Internet as "garbage", "not worth watching at all", "the combination of sugar and juice was overwhelmed by success, so they made such an unknown film"...

As far as the creative team of Sugar Juice and "The Lottery" is concerned, no matter whether these newspapers or film critics want to use these comments to sensationalize the public, or they really don't like the movie "The Lottery"... In fact, their remarks are very important to the "Lottery" In terms of word-of-mouth and box office, it has no impact.On the contrary, because of the extreme remarks of these people, quite a few viewers became curious, wanting to go to the theater to see for themselves how this movie that has been praised to the extreme and scolded to the extreme is like...

Driven by these fans and the media, the box office of "The Lottery" reached 5000 million yuan in the first week, nearly 3000 million yuan more than Tang Shi remembered, probably because the combination of sugar and juice was very important to the movie "The Lottery". The strength of the publicity is far more than that of Xu Hao and Zhang Ye in the previous life.

And in the second week, the box office of "The Lottery" broke through 8000 million... breaking through [-] million in two weeks. This situation means that the spring of domestic low-cost movies is coming...

The explosive box office growth and polarized media reviews of "The Lottery" have also become a means for Sugar Juice Studio to promote the film, attracting more fans who have never seen the film to the cinema.

However, these follow-up operations have nothing to do with Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi.The two returned to the crew of "Our Youth" and started filming the last few scenes.
