tearjerker director

Chapter 348 The role is randomly chosen

The movie version of "Forward with Weight" is indeed as Li Yi thought. Although the word of mouth is uneven, it can be said that this is the first zombie warmth film.

Coupled with the popularity of the previous short film "Forward with Weights", the word-of-mouth and first-day box office are still quite good.

The first-day box office of more than 600 million US dollars, although it cannot be compared with those A-level blockbusters, but for a B-level film, such results are good enough.

Of course, this movie was indeed complained by some viewers who watched "Forward with Weight", saying that the feature film was too wordy and the plot seemed lengthy.

But the flaws do not hide the strengths. The offline sampling survey shows that the comprehensive evaluation score of "Forward with a Load" is A-.

Both Alex and Rogers breathed a sigh of relief. It is unrealistic to expect the box office of a movie like "Forward with a Load" to be as high as it is, but according to the current situation, it may be difficult for this movie to break [-] million, but the box office is just Achieving profitability is absolutely out of the question.

Cao Zhenqun was both excited and apprehensive after seeing the first-day box office of "Forward with Weight".

At this time, he felt even more that Li Yi is simply a devil!
His few light words made him suffer all the time.

It's a happy thing for a movie to hit the blockbusters, and it's something to be proud of. After all, this is Hollywood, and it earns a lot of money.

But what he was struggling with was, will what Li Yi said come true?

Will Damien Films play tricks?
can you?won't you?

Cao Zhenqun felt like he was going crazy!
On the other hand, after the first-day box office and the offline investigation report of "Forward with Weights" came out, James Dean became more and more eager, because this proved once again that Li Yi did cooperate with other Huaguo directors. Different, he can not only grasp the preferences of Chinese audiences, but also understand the preferences of North American audiences.

At the reception that night, James Dean expressed his desire to cooperate with Li Yi.

The two parties have cooperated before, and the previous cooperation is quite pleasant, and Li Yi himself has some ideas, so the two have reached a preliminary intention.

Of course, specific cooperation will definitely not be so fast.

Li Yi stayed with Xu Nannan in North America for another week before boarding the flight back to China under Xu Nannan's reluctant eyes!
It is worth mentioning that "Forward with Weight" did very well. After earning a box office of 2100 million US dollars in the first weekend, it was released for a full week, and the weekly box office was close to 4000 million US dollars.

The North American forecasting agency predicted that the box office of "Forward with a Load" should be around 7000 million.

This figure is not particularly high, but for this movie, the box office alone is enough to recover the cost, while in North America, the proportion of box office revenue is actually not high.

So this project must be a very profitable project for Damien Films.

Of course, this may not be the case for Cao Zhenqun and Gao Le Film and Television.

After returning to China, after a few days of salting fish, Li Yi began to "copy" the script.

This time, the two scripts come together directly.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "A Dog's Mission"!
The movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was discussed with Chu Xuexiang and Chen Wen before. At that time, this movie can be regarded as a public welfare movie in the actual sense.

Although it is a commercial film, Li Yi has no plans to take it in terms of income.

He couldn't be as pure as Chu Xuexiang, but he was willing to support a pure and benevolent person like her.

As for "A Dog's Mission", Li Yi intends to use it as an attempt to co-produce a film.

Soon Li Yi completed the "creation" of the scripts of the two films!
After finishing writing the script, Li Yi began to call on friends to form a game.

However, it is not the kind of public, but very private bureau.

The people Li Yi invited were people like Chen Wen and Chu Xuexiang. This time, it wasn't any film preparation, it could be regarded as a relatively private gathering of friends.

The meeting place was arranged by Li Yi in a relatively private outlying island resort.

It was mainly for the consideration of Chen Wen and the others. After all, compared to him, Chen Wen and the others were all big stars.

The reason why celebrities like to go abroad for vacation is actually because they are public figures in China, and they will be surrounded by crowds wherever they go, but this situation does not happen abroad.

A group of people here chatted naturally while grilling by themselves.

"So, the script of the movie about leukemia you mentioned last time has been made?" Chen Wen asked while taking a sip of beer.

Chen Wen's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Yi asked Yi Mingming to send the prepared scripts to Chen Wen and the others respectively.

"Look at all of you! Pick any character you like!" Li Yi looked very generous.

"You are so generous, thank you!" Chen Wen said angrily.

Who doesn't know that Li Yi intends to use this movie to support Chu Xuexiang, that is to say, any role they choose will be played for free.

Of course, this means that people like Chen Wen and the others are not short of film appointments themselves, otherwise, if they were replaced by other people, let alone starred with zero pay, even if they posted upside down, some people would want to be in Li Yi's play!
Soon, everyone stopped their buddies and started to read the script.

Naturally, what Li Yi gave them could not be a scene script, but a story script.

Just looking at it, the smiles on each face gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity, sadness, or red eyes like Chu Xuexiang's.

"You boy! You're amazing!" Chen Wen was the first to close the script and looked at Li Yi in amazement.

"The character of Cheng Yong in you, you are going to consecrate him!" Chen Wen couldn't help but exclaimed.

Others nodded their heads when they heard the words. Indeed, Cheng Yong's role in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" can be said to be a step by step to the end. Although he is not the God of Medicine, he became a saint immediately!

"A realistic theme! You can still write like this! Awesome!" Chen Wen praised again.

Everyone else nodded in unison. As we all know, at present, the main theme movie in China has "The Garland Under the Mountain" breaking the ice, not only breaking the ice, but also directly bringing this movie to the altar.

It is destined to be recorded in film history, because this is not only a popular and well-received main theme movie, but also this movie has created not only the box office record of the main theme movie, but also the box office record of domestic movies.

Compared with the main theme movies, realistic movies can be said to be the real black hole of domestic movies.

So far, it is not that there are no good movies about realistic themes, but most of these movies have hardly achieved any good results in China.

Either because of censorship, many people are unwilling to touch this kind of subject matter, or because the subject matter is too profound, it has turned into a niche movie.

But "I'm Not the God of Medicine" subverted Chen Wen's perception of realistic movies.
