After I became popular, I became a Taoist

The movie "Outliers" was shot by Su Xinghe last year. As a commercial movie with a sci-fi background that everyone didn't like very much, the public held a wait-and-see attitude whether it was the pre-shooting or the post-production.

In particular, "Outliers" actually wanted to hit the National Day file. When the news came out, many people laughed.

Naturally, it wasn't Su Xinghe's sunspots who were laughing at this time, they were recently injured and still recovering, so the main force of laughing was all kinds of fans in the movie circle.

The National Day file has always been a popular time for movies every year, and this year is no exception. Excluding "Alien", there are a total of four very promising movies released at the same time.

One is an action movie. Although the actors are not very famous, there are many big scenes. After watching the trailer, many viewers are ready to contribute to the box office.

Two of them are funny movies. This type of movie has always been a powerful tool to harvest box office in China. After all, on a day like National Day, most people still choose to watch more festive movies.

There is also a remake of a foreign suspense film. The original script is very good and has many fans, so this drama is also highly anticipated.

Of these four movies, except for the first one whose actors are not very famous, the other three are all first-tier middle school students or niche students. As far as the fame of the actors is concerned, they are much more popular than Su Xinghe, who has just become popular.

Coupled with various factors such as subject matter and director, it is only reasonable that "Alien" is not favored.

After Su Xinghe heard about the film schedule in the cinema, he became numb.

Because the schedule of "Outliers" is the worst of all the movies released.

Of course, this is also because worse movies will not be selected to be released on National Day.

Qin Xuan comforted Su Xinghe and said: "As long as the attendance rate is high and the word of mouth is good, the subsequent film schedule can be adjusted."

In the past two years, there have been many dark horses in movies, and theaters have become more and more accustomed to adjusting the schedule of movies based on the attendance rate of the previous day.

But having said that, Qin Xuan was also a little depressed.

It took a lot of work to arrange the film, but it is a pity that even though many theater managers really thought that the trailer of "Alien" was good, they did not choose to improve the film schedule of "Alien" out of caution. For others, because the other films are too strong.

The cake is only this big, and the filming is given to "Outliers", what about the other movies?They also couldn't stand the trouble, so in the end, Tian Cheng's hard work didn't yield much.

In the end, Qin Xuan followed the path of the Qin family, which made the filming of "Outliers" more normal. It didn't focus on the early morning or morning, and there were a few prime time shows in the afternoon and evening, and even small cities won some. Arrange films.

Su Xinghe also knew this truth, he only recovered after being depressed for a while.

He had seen a rough cut of the film before dubbing it, and it was very well done, at least he liked it.

Therefore, he believes that even if "Alien" does not reach the number one spot in the National Day file this time, it will definitely not be the last one.

If it's the last one...

No, there must be no such if.

Su Xinghe is going to devoutly offer incense sticks to the patriarch and master for a while, and ask them to bless the poor Du Miao. It is not easy for Du Miao to make a movie!

On the second day, Su Xinghe started to follow the production team to promote.

Although the movie has not yet been released, the smoke of the box office battle has already ignited.

Many crews have started to take action, some appearing on variety shows, some going for interviews, and some promoting through various video media.

In short, there are still a few days before the National Day, and the entertainment industry has already become lively. You can see relevant discussions on the scarf almost every day, and there are many more box office posts on the forum, and many people have voted in it.

But no matter what the final ranking of these big and small is, "Alien" has never been the second-to-last situation, it will always be the last one.

Because the evaluation of "Alien" on the Internet is one-sided at the moment, almost no one is optimistic about it, except for Su Xinghe's fans who are still waving their flags, and even passers-by who had a good impression of Su Xinghe because of "Ghost" before I also think this movie is probably a hit.

Under such circumstances, the promotional activities of "Outliers" are also quite difficult.

If it weren't for Su Xinghe, a popular fried chicken, to attract attention, maybe they could only advertise their loneliness.

But despite Su Xinghe's presence, the media didn't pay attention to the movie "Outliers" when it was being promoted.

What they like to ask most is whether Su Xinghe is planning to transition to become a director. After all, the last short film "Ghost" has indeed achieved very good results, not only in China, but also in foreign countries.

Su Xinghe was a little embarrassed to take the lead, but no matter how much he emphasized, the media would still choose to ask them the most interesting questions, or the audience's most interested questions, so after a few episodes, not only Su Xinghe got used to it, but even the crew members Also get used to it.

Isn't it just a question about "Ghost"?It doesn't matter, anyway, after the media ask what they want, they can enter the commercial film promotion process.

So Su Xinghe could only answer: "I have this plan in the long term, but not in the short term, because I still have a lot to learn."

As soon as the media heard this, they asked again: "Do you have any plans for further studies?"

The reason for asking this question is because Su Xinghe himself doesn't even have a college diploma. If he wants to study further, he has to take an adult self-examination. Therefore, what the media wants to ask is, will you continue to study?

Su Xinghe had thought about this question a long time ago, he said: "If given the opportunity, I would definitely choose to pursue further studies."

As for how long he has this opportunity, it depends on his work arrangement. In short, before the age of 25, the chance of further study is very small.

He has to be even more angry, otherwise, according to the fate calculated by his master, he should be sad after the age of 25.

Seeing that the question of academic qualifications did not come out, the media began to ask another question that everyone was very concerned about.

"The protagonist of "Ghost" has always been mysterious. His name is written at the end of the film as a repeater. What is his real name?"

After "Ghost" became popular, many people really wanted to interview this kid, but except for the crew, no one had seen him and knew him, so he became the most mysterious leading actor.

If it was an ordinary person, the media would definitely dig it out, but this kid is only five or six years old, and the reason why he didn't show up was obviously because his parents didn't agree with him to show his face, so they didn't dare to go too far.

This is a minor, which is different from other stars.

So everyone can only ask Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe was not only asked this question by the media, but also asked him by many others. He could only reply in unison: "The child's parents are not allowed to disclose the child's information, so it is not convenient for me to answer this question. He himself I am very happy to know that everyone likes to watch his plays, but he is still young, so I hope everyone will not disturb his normal life too much."

Whenever Su Xinghe answered this question, the repeater stood by and wiped away tears.

I didn't expect that after so many years of death, there are still so many people thinking about him.

Hey, it's a pity that people and ghosts go on different paths, they are not destined after all.

But in order to repay those who like him, he will work hard for the next play!

The media had no idea that the person they wanted to inquire was staring at them horribly, so they could only regretfully start asking the next question.

That's how Su Xinghe managed to capture ghosts so vividly.

They even suspected that it was because Su Xinghe himself had seen ghosts!

Su Xinghe showed a shy smile when he heard the words: "It's all because the actors performed well, and it has nothing to do with me."

The director really didn't do much for the true performance.

"And thanks to the current computer technology, the special effects are very good. I was taken aback when I saw it for the first time." Su Xinghe said.

As for the special effects company, he can only keep it a secret: "I asked a friend to do it, because there are not many places where special effects are used. If he opens a special effects company in the future, I will recommend it to you."

In short, although Su Xinghe accepted the interview, the effect of interviewing and not interviewing is the same.

Everyone can only sigh, this young and innocent boy has also learned Tai Chi in the scheming entertainment industry!

This hateful and terrifying entertainment industry!

How scary the entertainment industry is, other passers-by don't know, they only know that recent movies have started to release trailers one after another.

"Outliers" is one of them.

In order to attract more people to watch, "Outliers" really used up the prehistoric power when editing the trailer, and edited many high-light shots into it.

Of course, because there are too many highlights in the whole show, it is not difficult to edit, but it is a bit difficult to choose.

Soon, the hot search that Tian Cheng bought with a huge sum of money rushed to the top of the hot search list.

Many passers-by who were idle and bored also clicked in.

Although they are not optimistic about this movie, they also want to see how bad this movie is.

It should be another level of Balabala Little Demon Fairy.

Everyone who thought this way clicked on the trailer.

In the picture, it is almost the epitome of the future world that humans can imagine at present.

Advanced technology, convenient life, and countless pictures that only exist in novels have been turned into reality.

But before the audience was amazed by the special effect, there was just a bang, and the tall buildings in the picture began to collapse and the ground began to crack.

Countless people began to scream, some of them were walking, some were working, and some were flying aircraft in the air, but with the scene where the world was torn apart, the technology they relied on lost its function in an instant.

The protective shield broke, the aircraft fell, and the alarm sound stopped. At this moment, except for the roaring nature, all the civilizations created by humans lost their voices.

Just these few seconds of footage caused the eyes of the casual audience to widen.

What are they seeing?

This is "Alien"? !

Isn't this a foreign blockbuster? !

Just looking at the special effects, there is no sense of disobedience at all!

Li Tian immediately sat up straight.

As a fan of blockbuster sci-fi movies, he has watched countless sci-fi movies. Whether it is soft sci-fi, hard sci-fi or pseudo-sci-fi covered in sci-fi, as long as the special effects and stories are done well, it is his favorite.

It's a pity that there are too few such films in China, and it has always been a pain in his heart. Every time he thinks about it, he feels like he hates iron.

But today, look what he saw? !

If "Outliers" wasn't a teaser, then the special effects invested in this drama are simply the best in China!

Soon, the screen that was full of special effects just now began to flow back, and several numbers appeared on the screen, which represented the time of the year, month, and day.

Time went back, the numbers shrunk, the building that had just collapsed returned to normal, the crashed aircraft rose into the sky again, and the screams of people turned into various conversations.

The picture rose slowly, and a glamorous city full of technology appeared in everyone's eyes.

But as the angle of view slowly expanded, an obviously inconsistent corner appeared in the shot.

It was like an ugly scar on the beauty's face, which immediately diverted all attention.

This is a layer upon layer of slums, no one can tell how high it is, maybe 100 meters, maybe 200 meters?

Viewed from the top, it looks like a child's pile of toys, one piece after another, piled up without logic and aesthetics, which makes people unable to help but wonder if it will collapse in the next moment.

Su Xinghe, the protagonist, appeared at this moment. He was obviously different from the group of people just now, not only because of his tattered clothes and unrestrained expression, but also because he didn't have any high-tech things on his body.

At this time, a person appeared beside him, played by Lin Ran, and the two began to discuss work issues.

As low-level human beings, the things they can do are very limited. Recently, a technology company is recruiting cleaners. The two of them are considered qualified. They only need to bribe the clerk in charge of applying for the job, and they can get in.

As soon as the screen changed, the two of them arrived at the technology company.

The scene in the technology company shocked Li Tian again, because there was still no sense of disobedience whether it was the layout inside or all kinds of high technology.

He felt again that he was watching a foreign blockbuster instead of a domestic movie.

Naturally, the whole story will not be fully told to the audience in the trailer, so the following plots and pictures are fragmented.

But after Li Tian watched it, he felt that the pre-sale tickets he just bought were not good.

He didn't want to see that action movie anymore, he wanted to see this one.

Of course, the adult world does not need to choose, because he can have it all.

So Li Tian quickly opened the ticketing website and bought a movie ticket for "Alien".

When he went to buy it, this movie with a low screening rate was still very deserted, and only a few scattered seats in the entire theater were reserved.

Li Tian didn't care, but was a little happy, so that he could sit in his favorite seat.

By the afternoon, the trailer of "Outliers" had become the topic of discussion on major movie forums.

Li Tian was not surprised at all.

No matter how the plot ends, with this special effect, "Alien" will definitely be the focus of attention of movie lovers.

"I heard that this drama has invested a lot, most of which are invested in special effects, and the actors' remuneration is very small. If domestic films have this consciousness in the future, why not make good films."

Li Tian also agrees with this point of view.

As far as movie special effects are concerned, Huaguo is not far behind foreign countries. Of course, the best special effects companies are still foreign special effects companies.

But as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no problem of fifty cents for special effects.

So some of the previous movies, in the final analysis, are unwilling to spend money on this.

They would rather be superstitious about the flow of actors than invest money in the unknown variable of special effects.

Therefore, the trailer of "Outliers" is simply a shot in the arm for the audience.

At least for movie viewers like Li Tian, ​​they are willing to watch such a movie, no matter whether it is a teaser or not.

Movie forums are discussing movies, and star forums are naturally discussing stars.

Those who had bad-mouthed "Alien" before couldn't help but dig up all kinds of news reports from the promotion of "Alien".

It was only after this review that I discovered that the crew of "Alien" is really miserable.

It was obviously a publicity event, but the event party didn't care at all. They started to ask Su Xinghe other questions. Although they got back to the topic later, they didn't seem to be distracted at all, and they didn't have the enthusiasm of gossip at all.

Looking at other crews, they are popular wherever they go, the director is praised, the actors are also praised, and the movie is also praised.

In comparison, it's really miserable.

"Maybe it was too much money for special effects, and there was no money for publicity."

When everyone thinks about it this way, they feel that this crew is even worse.

"Although I don't like Su Xinghe very much, the trailer looks really good. I'm going to the cinema to support him."

Su Xinghe has indeed become very popular in the past two years, which has also made him a lot of black people and passers-by, but at the moment everyone is still willing to watch for the sake of supporting domestic movies, and give up mocking him himself.

There are quite a few people who think this way, but it is a pity that when they are about to buy tickets, they find that there are no tickets!

I searched all the movie theaters, but there are no tickets!

"The filming rate is too low."

"Yeah, in our movie theater, there are a bunch of other movies lined up, and there are less than three shows of "Outliers" every day, and the time is not good. How do you look at it?"

When everyone watched the filming, they immediately felt that the crew of "Alien" was even worse.

For a while, even Heizi began to feel sorry for the movie.

I spent so much money on special effects (this kind of behavior is too much to be encouraged), and I have no money to invite big-name stars (I can only invite Su Xinghe, who is not a first-line TV actor), and there is no publicity left. How much money was paid (just bought a hot search), and the filming is still so miserable (capital is not human), it is really worthy of pity.

Li Tian, ​​a passer-by who doesn't mix in the entertainment industry and only pays attention to movies, felt angry after watching it on the forum.

Why is there such a low screening rate for such a movie? !

Simply incomprehensible!

On the contrary, he didn't want to watch several of those with a high rate of screening, because they were just gimmicks at first glance, and there was no sincerity at all.

Woah!This unreasonable entertainment circle!

After the topic quickly fermented, the result was that "Alien" was almost full of theaters in various places.

It's not because "Outliers" sells badly, the main reason is that its trailer is really good, so when it sells badly, the righteous people can't help it.

Of course, although it has a high attendance rate, but because the film schedule is too low, it can't catch up with the previous ones in terms of box office.

But this also gave great encouragement and confidence to the crew, Su Xinghe ate an extra bowl for dinner!

Now waiting for the feedback after tomorrow's release!
