The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

For a long time after the Spring Festival, the entire film market was in a gloomy state. There were few blockbuster films in the first half of the year, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies was not strong enough.

The Ching Ming schedule can only be regarded as a small peak.

Shortly after the Spring Festival, three films announced that they will be released in the Qingming Festival. In addition to "Idol", there are also "My Dearest" and "The King of Guns". With an investment of [-] million yuan, the costs of "Idol" and "My Dearest" are relatively low.

But this does not mean that the film market during the Qingming Festival has nothing to watch.

"Crazy Idol" and "My Dearest" have confirmed the Qingming schedule almost at the same time, and the announcement times of the two movies are one day after the other, and the difference is only one day.

What caught the audience's attention the most was the protagonists of these two films - Gu Yu from "Idol" and Qiao Xizhou from "My Dearest".

Before Gu Yu became popular, Qiao Xizhou was the most promising actor in the industry. He was nominated for the Maple Leaf Award early and had a pretty good reputation among the directors. If it wasn't for the fact that "Magpie" didn't audition, I'm afraid it would occupy the young people's attention now. The top actor is still Qiao Xizhou.

It's a pity that "Shocking Magpie" started Gu Yu's road to fame.

He won the Maple Leaf Award for Best Supporting Actor for two consecutive years, surpassing Qiao Xizhou in honor, not to mention "Graduation Season" which was abandoned by Qiao Xizhou.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even though Gu Yu has never cooperated with Qiao Xizhou, the two are still compared from time to time in the media.

And this time during the Ching Ming Festival, Gu Yu and Qiao Xizhou faced each other again.

"My Dearest" is also Qiao Xizhou's first literary film after failing in the commercial film market.

Compared with "Idol Fanatic", which is a movie about the entertainment industry at first glance, "My Dearest" takes the route of warmth and family affection, telling the story of the rebellious protagonist played by Qiao Xizhou and his mother supporting each other, going through the plight of youth, and becoming a mature grown-up story.

Seriously, there are more and more such themes on the market, which is actually due to the excellent performance of the two films "Graduation Season" and "My Dreams Can Fly".

The directors discovered that it doesn't necessarily require a large investment or beautiful special effects, as long as a movie can impress people, it can also win the favor of the audience.

The crew of "Idol Fanatic" had an incident with Gao Cheng before, and it was a movie starring Gu Yu. After the announcement of the finalization, the number of film critics and media who paid attention to it was quite a lot. Coupled with the strange competitive relationship between Gu Yu and Qiao Xizhou, There are quite a few people waiting to see a good show.

Overall, there are obviously more viewers who are optimistic about "My Dearest".

Because... the name "Crazy Idol" doesn't sound grand enough.At this time, "My Dearest" has released the first promotional video. In the short film, the bond between the protagonist played by Qiao Xizhou and his mother is moving. In just a few minutes, there are three or four tear-jerking clips.

And what about "Idol"?

——The movie also released a promotional video, but watching the protagonist being bullied and humiliated in the screen, the audience only felt aggrieved.

"Could it be another movie with the style of "Jianghu"?"

"Is this a subject that exposes the darkness in the entertainment industry? Where does the word 'fanatic' in "Idol Fanatic" reflect?"

"...emmmm, how should I put it, it's a little different from what I imagined, I thought it was the kind of movie where the main character performed wildly on stage."

"But I was very curious at the time. Seeing the protagonist being bullied, I really wanted to know if there was any slap in the face later."

However, in fact, since the promotion period, the crew of "Idol" did not actually reveal the details of the story.

For example, the last performance of the protagonist Xu Zhen - this is the essence of "Idol", but it was not cut into the promotional film at all. In the words of director Jian Yin, she hopes that the audience can discover these for themselves.

Even Xu Zhen's near-collapse scene during the recovery process was not revealed at all.

"I agree with Director Jian's approach. It's better to maintain a sense of mystery in the movie." Jiang Chuan explained, "If the audience knows everything from the beginning, he won't be interested in learning about the story in the movie."

Gu Yu nodded: "I understand."

And indeed it should be.

During the promotion period of "Amazing Magpie", the promotional video was quite beautifully cut, but although Wen Che, played by Gu Yu, played a large part in the promotional video, the details about who he is and what he will do are not. Nothing was revealed.

On the contrary, "Graduation Season" reveals more-compared with "Magpie", this is a movie that is close to reality and that everyone will miss. The promotional film should maximize the resonance of the audience and let the audience recall Their teenage years and college entrance examination years, only in this way can they willingly spend money on movies.

There is only one word at the center of the "Jianghu" promotional film - beauty.There is no fear of being spoiled in this movie, and the beginning and ending are very clear. So, to attract the audience's attention to the greatest extent, Ling Zhihuai's unique painting style must become the highlight.

As for this "Crazy Idol", although the promotional film made the audience realize that it is not the kind of cheerful money-making movie, the audience will still be curious about what happened to such an idol, why he was humiliated, and what he hides in What is on that face in the darkness?

Gu Yu cooperated with the crew to repost the promotional video, but when a fan in the comments asked what the theme of the movie was, Gu Yu's reply was only two words - keep it secret.

"I have a feeling that since Gu Shanyu said so, "Idol Fanatic" should not be an ordinary idol movie."

"Upstairs +1, I didn't think too much about it, I just thought——Gu Shanyu hasn't acted in a bad-quality movie in the past two years, right? The quality of the movie he can watch must be pretty good."

However, compared to the relatively simple publicity of "Idol Fanatic", "My Dearest", which was released on the same day, can be described as menacing.

Even the agent couldn't help complaining to Gu Yu: "How does he get to act in such a rich movie every time? You... are miserable every time."

Gu Yu scratched, her hair and face wrinkled: "This matter... I want to know too."

He will also feel very uncomfortable.

Every time, every time he acts in a movie, he has to go through a process of being suspected, ridiculed, box office failure and finally slapped. Eat ashes behind him.

As for Qiao Xizhou's film, no matter what the final box office is, in terms of momentum, it is definitely the strongest in the same period.

Even if it is "My Dearest", which is not expensive, the marketing posture has surpassed "Gun King".

What made Gu Yu even more unacceptable was that during the promotion process of this movie, "Graduation Season" and "My Dreams Can Fly" were used as foils.

——Tougher than "Graduation Season", and more tender than "My Dreams Can Fly", the April rainy season, meet you.

Gu Yu threw away the brochure: "What is this, is it okay to pay copyright fees?"

Fang Jun frowned unhappily: "They are really courageous enough to step on the marketing of other movies in a grand manner."

As the leading actor of "Graduation Season", when promoting the film "Idol Fanatic", the crew asked if they could use "Maple Leaf Award for Best Supporting Actor Gu Yu, another masterpiece after "Graduation Season" and "Jianghu" " and other promotional words were rejected by Gu Yu without hesitation.

First, whether it is a masterpiece, he himself does not know, and there is no audience to judge.Although he believes in the quality of "Idol Fanatic", the taste of the leading actor is not equal to the taste of the audience, and he does not need to impose his own ideas on the audience.

Second, the success of "Graduation Season" and "Jianghu" is mainly due to the skill of the two directors, and the credit is not on Gu Yu. Gu Yu doesn't want to give money to himself.

but!He acted in "Graduation Season" anyway, and "My Dreams Can Fly" is a movie he invested in.

He didn't shamelessly drag these two films out for publicity, "My Dearest" is simply too much!

What made Gu Yu vomit blood even more was a piece of news revealed by Li Xiaozhuan in the group.

Li Xiaozhuan said: ""My Dearest" invited Fu Ning to sing the theme song, and the MV for the theme song was released in advance. I'm not sure if I heard it wrong, but I think... this song is a bit like "Bing Zhou". "

In the music industry, copyright is a very serious issue, and it is not advisable to judge others for plagiarism at will, so Li Xiaozhuan only used the word "a bit like".

But everyone in Link knows that Li Xiaozhuan's words have always been rigorous, and he will not give others bad reviews or frame others at will.

Yi Xiao asked, "Is it similar?"

"Yes." Li Xiaozhuan replied.

The theme song of "My Dearest" is called "Three Thousands of the Floating World". It is a song with a melodious artistic conception.

A few minutes later, Yi Xiao sent a helpless expression: "It's a bit similar."

"Actually, it's not a little bit, Xiao Zhuan?" Xia Qiyu asked, "I can hear it, it's a lot."

Even Gu Yu, who is not good at music, can still hear the weird familiarity between the two songs-although the lyrics are not similar in any way, the feeling of the whole song, the tune of certain verses, To describe it in one word, this is called instant vision.

Of course, this song is indeed very gentle.

Cooperating with the scene of the mother and son growing up together in the screen of "My Dearest", it is the best embellishment for this warm scene.

But Link and the others couldn't be moved.

The copyright of "Banzhou" belongs to the host platform of "Idol Feast" and the company of each member, and it is distributed proportionally. Even if you have to go through legal channels, it will be very troublesome to gather these subjects.

What's more, they can't find any evidence now... This kind of approach is more appropriate to call advanced imitation, and it is a bit aggressive to call it plagiarism.

"Why does Qiao Xizhou confront you every time? Is his complaint against you so deep?" Ning Chuan asked curiously.

Gu Yu was helpless: "I don't know either. Probably... there is only one reason."

"What? Because you stole his Maple Leaf Award for Best Supporting Actor?"

"He didn't even perform "The Magpie", what a steal." said the irritable boy Xia Qiyu.

"Because I'm so handsome, he's jealous of me, but uncontrollably...falls in love with me."

Link everyone: "..."

I always feel that Gu Yu's skill in disgusting his own people has improved to a higher level.
