Chapter 659: Word of mouth explodes, The Tuner is released

Chapter 659: Word of mouth explodes, The Tuner is released

"Let's try it first."

"How about I tell you something?"

"No need, Sister Li and I ate a lot of delicious food."

Liu Shishi let down his hair and started to change clothes: "By the way, Brother Chao, what are you talking about? Why don't you eat at night?"

"Then we have to ask Deng Chao."

Zhou Yutang took the time to explain:

"He dragged me to talk about his new movie "Bad Angels" for more than an hour, but ended up drinking two glasses of champagne and eating nothing at the reception."

Liu Shishi doesn't know how to cook, but it's no problem to make instant noodles.

What's more, he was really hungry at this time, and the simple Kang Shuai Fu seafood noodles turned out to be a rare treat, indescribably delicious.

The dinner drama is Huang Xiaoming's "Splendid Fate: Gorgeous Adventure".

This drama has been airing on Mango TV’s Golden Eagle Private Theater for some time.

Huang Xiaoming and Chen Qiaoen's double-leader configuration, Qiao Renliang, Xie Junhao, Li Jianyi, and Cui Xinqin, a teacher from the film school, are basically Zhou Yutang's acquaintances.

The promotional slogan put out by the producers said that it was a fantasy and passionate sadomasochism drama in the Magic City.

The plot of Huang Xiaoming's boss and Mary Sue, combined with the barrage of comments from netizens, is quite satisfying.

Liu Shishi was performing the necessary skin care procedures nearby, and also came over to apply a facial mask to Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang saw her magically taking out many bottles and cans from her bag and lining them up on the coffee table, and couldn't help but curiously said:

"Are these all for maintenance?"

"Yeah."

With the facial mask on and her hair tied up with a bear headband, Liu Shishi applied something to her white legs: "Apply essential oil, and then apply cream."

"Even your feet need to be wiped?"

"Of course."

Liu Shishi bent his legs: "Wearing high heels often can easily cause calluses."

"If you don't maintain it now, the gap will appear in ten or twenty years."

The beauty of female celebrities is different from that of ordinary people.

How can ordinary people have the thought and financial resources to maintain it to this extent.

Noticing Zhou Yutang's frequent side glances, Liu Shishi shrank his feet and protested with a coy voice: "Oh, don't look."

She has practiced dancing since she was a child, her feet are not beautiful, and she always feels inferior.

Feeling full and thinking about reciting poems, Zhou Yutang couldn't help but grab one of her white and tender feet and put it in his hands to play with.

Maintenance procedures were temporarily suspended.

After the routine maintenance was completed, it was already half past one in the morning. Liu Shishi lay lazily on Zhou Yutang's chest chatting, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, dear, you don't seem to like the movie about Brother Hao Chao and Sister Li?"

"Brother Chao is a good actor, but not a good director."

Zhou Yutang only listened to Deng Chao's dictation and felt the problems with his script.

It's quite self-indulgent, and the viewing experience is even worse than "The Breakup Master".

He also gave some advice, but I don’t know if he listened to it.

The next day, the Magic City International Film Festival Awards Ceremony was posted on various entertainment portals.

The Three-Yellow Egg Movie King indeed caused great controversy.

Although this is the first time at the Shanghai Film Festival, it is not uncommon in international A-class film festivals.

At the 2003 Berlin Film Festival, the three leading actresses in "The Hours" all won the Best Actress Award; at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, the six actresses in the movie "Return" collectively won the Best Actress Award, and the three actresses in "Glory Days" won the Best Actress Award. 5 male actors collectively won the best actor award

Liu Shishi asked a question last night, if he really chose one of these three people.

Zhou Yutang still chose Deng Chao.

It's not that Duan Yihong and Guo Tao didn't perform well.

Deng Chao, who is serious about acting, has a very high ceiling. In addition, Xin Xiaofeng's character setting is complex, which makes him more artistically expressive.

Teacher Wang Jianhui who appears at the end of the play is also very charming.

Although there aren't many scenes, the last part of the murderer's autobiography is like a documentary, and it's downright horrifying to watch.

"Teacher Wang."

Zhou Yutang met Wang Jianhui the next afternoon.

In real life, Wang Jianhui is an amiable middle-aged uncle who is always smiling.

As a visiting professor at Yamashita Academy, not only did he teach Tianxian and Yijie, but Zhou Yutang also learned many useful acting skills from him.

Today is the premiere of "The Tuner". Wang Jianhui is also one of the starring actors. He came to the venue early and greeted with a smile: "Yu Tang, Shi Shi, you are here."

Zhou Yutang and Wang Jianhui were chatting, and the crew and creators all came.

This film is also directed by Cao Baoping, the Golden Goblet Award Best Director.

Liu Shishi is the lead actor and producer, and Zhou Yutang personally supports it.

Among the celebrities in the film and television industry who attended the Shanghai Film Festival, except for those who had important matters to attend to, seven out of ten did not leave.

They all came to attend the premiere of "The Tuner" held in Shanghai.

This also made the film's premiere unprecedentedly grand.

Ren Zhonglun of China Film Group, Su Xiao, CEO of Shangshi Pictures, Wang Zhonglei of Huayi, Bona Yudong, Wang Changtian of Guangwang, Wanda Ye Ning, Xinghao Wang Haifeng and other film company bosses.

Directors such as Tian Zhuangzhuang, Hou Xiaoxian, Chen Shishi, Xu Zheng, Xu Xiaoming, Li Shaohong, Wen Muye, Guo Fan, Lu Yang and other directors.

Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan, Deng Chao and his wife, Chen Chichi, Sha Yi, Wang Baohao, Dilraba Dilraba, Gulinazha

Even overseas filmmakers such as Rosamund Pike, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Rob Cohen stayed for an extra day.

In the words of the on-site media, it is simply the Easter egg segment of the Shanghai International Film Festival.

Zhou Yutang wanted to laugh a little when he saw Huang Xiaoming in the crowd.

I watched the drama "The Splendid Adventure of Jin Xiu Yuan" last night, and found that netizens have created a new word for this drama called "chest bang".

It's like this.

Huang Xiaoming pinned Chen Qiaoen to the wall and confessed domineeringly. Chen Qiaoen, who felt the tenderness of the leader, pushed his chest with her hands like a little girl, sighing shyly.

Snap! Snap!

Zhou Yutang reached out and patted Huang Xiaoming's thick chest.

The leader was caught off guard and hugged his arms with a horrified face: "What are you doing?"

Liu Shishi and Qin Lan beside him laughed out loud.

This feeling is really a real super-large chest muscle. No wonder many young women are fascinated by the leader and can't close their legs.

"Brother Xiaoming, your drama has a good ratings, congratulations."

Zhou Yutang hugged him affectionately.

It's a bit shocking, but this kind of drama is sure to take over the sinking market. The audience is watching it while complaining.

It is similar to Yu Wai. Since its broadcast, the ratings have ranked first in the same period, and the number of Weibo topic readings has reached hundreds of millions.

Huang Xiaoming's company is the main producer, and it is also profitable.

"Yu Tang."

Huang Xiaoming was not happy, and his expression was slightly depressed: "I really admire your mentality."

The leader is now also a capital.

He and Li Binbin and Ren Quan set up an investment company and invested in various industries.

He also invested a lot of money in stocks.

He mentioned the stock market more than once in the chat with Zhou Yutang.

For this wave, there are always tens of millions of losses.

Compared with Zhou Yutang, it is a small witch compared to a big witch.

Liu Shishi had a good impression of Qin Lan and asked, "Sister Qin Lan, is the new drama about to start filming?"

"I'll join the crew after I finish this."

Qin Lan smiled and said, "Shishi, I wish you a big box office success."

"Thank you."

After chatting with Huang Xiaoming for a few words, Zhou Yutang saw that LeTV's boss Jia actually came over with Zhang Zhao: "Boss Jia, I'm sorry for the hospitality. We were just talking about your LeTV's self-made drama."

"In the film and television industry, Boss Zhou is an expert."

Boss Jia smiled and said, "Give me more advice when you have time. I'll come here to learn today. You can do your own thing."

Jiangdong Entertainment has formulated a strategy to develop online dramas.

All major video websites in the circle have taken action. After "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", LeTV has launched a youth campus-themed online drama "My Upper Bunk Brother".

It spent a lot of money to invite Jiangdong's most popular young actor Chen Xiao and the queen Qin Lan.

Originally, we wanted to invite Guli Nazha to join us again to continue the popularity of the "Qingcheng" combination, but Nazha's team rejected it.

It's not that the money is not enough, but the character's personality is thin. For Nazha at this stage, there is basically no bonus.

Boss Jia attended the corporate forum during the Shanghai Film Festival and negotiated financing with other capitals in Shanghai. There was a lot of noise.

After the routine process, the movie started.

At the beginning of the film, it was in a farmland.

A rabbit with blindness in the right eye and cataracts in the left eye was stealing vegetables.

Not far away, a farmer approached quietly with a shotgun.

Just as he was about to hunt the rabbit that stole the vegetables, the rabbit pricked up its ears, noticed the sound, and ran away quickly.

The camera shook, and the rabbit chased.

While running away, it hit the puppet in the field. The farmer chased it closely, and the rabbit fled to the stone tablet on the road.

At this time, the farmer held his breath and aimed.

Bang!

A gunshot sounded, and the picture suddenly darkened.

All I heard was the sound of the car's brakes and collision, followed by screams.

"What on earth happened!?"

There was a low cry at the scene, and Wang Yiran and her cousin were among them.

Every time Zhou Yutang held a movie premiere, she would give back to her fans and release some offline movie tickets.

She is an old fan of Jiangdong Water Master and happens to be from Shanghai.

This time, she got two offline movie tickets and brought her cousin to have a look.

The two sisters suppressed their excitement, whispered, exchanged doubts, and were both very curious.

Then.

Liu Shishi, who plays the blind pianist, is practicing the piano.

Liu Shishi's family is well-off and bought a piano in the early 1990s.

But she practiced for a year, then lost interest and finally switched to dance.

In order to play this role well, she picked up the piano again and spent several months in the early stage to receive piano training privately.

At this time, with her upright sitting posture, she looked quite decent.

As the plot progressed, the audience gradually knew.

Liu Shi was originally a young genius who had been learning piano since childhood, but she failed in the piano competition held in Hong Kong, which she had always dreamed of. Her life fell to the bottom.

After adjusting, she used her identity as a blind person to pursue artistic inspiration and gain more sympathy and benefits.

Living in a low-rent house for the blind, in order to protect herself, Liu Shi made her image very simple and ordinary.

She also worked in the restaurant of Sophie, played by Wang Luodan.

Because Sophie sympathized with Liu Shi, she treated her with special favors, and the two of them had a vague relationship.

All these actions were clear in purpose, all to save money to go to Hong Kong again, participate in the competition, and prove herself.

Liu Shi enjoyed this kind of life and even secretly peeped into other people's lives and privacy.

As a result, it was precisely because of this that she was passively involved in a murder case - when she was playing the piano part-time, she accidentally ran into the police chief who was having an affair with his lover and killed his mistress's husband.

She was just pretending to be blind, not really blind.

The audience puts themselves in Liu Shishi's shoes. When they witness the murder, their spirits tense up instantly.

Coupled with the rendering of the soundtrack, there is a sense of excitement that danger is about to come.

Liu Shishi pretends to be calm. When she goes to the police station to call the police, she finds that the murderer is the police chief.

The sky is falling!

The story takes place in Tyrande, so the police can also be negative roles.

Teacher Wang Jianhui shines in the murderer in "The Sun Burns the Heart", and he plays the cruel and ruthless police chief Manla very well.

His mistress Ximi is played by Tan Zhuo.

Tan Zhuo, who shined in "The Accidental Murder" last month, has superb acting skills. This time he plays the charming mistress Ximi.

The adulterer and the adulteress began to hunt down Liu Shi.

Ximi blinded Liu Shi's eyes, and Manla forced her into a desperate situation.

Seeing Liu Shi narrowly escape the pursuit of Police Chief Manla and be rescued by the tricycle driver.

The Wang Yiran sisters were relieved.

But before they could be happy for too long, their eyes went dark again, and their hearts tightened again.

It turned out that the tricycle driver was a human trafficker who wanted to sell Liu Shi to the black-hearted doctor who sold human organs.

"Is this the rhythm of all villains!?"

There was an uproar at the scene.

The purpose of the black-hearted doctor was to take Liu Shi's kidney and sell it to the chief at a high price.

But Liu Shi eventually used his desire to get rich to blackmail Ximi and the police, and drove the tiger to eat the wolf.

The whole story is full of thrilling reversals.

In the process, the black-hearted doctor's men were killed by the police, and Police Chief Manla himself was trapped in the elevator.

In a rage, he drew his gun and shot the closed elevator door.

The elevator went dark, and gunshots and screams were heard. The final fate of Police Chief Manla is self-evident.

The black-hearted doctor took Ximi and Liu Shi into the car. He said on the surface that Ximi's blood type was the same as that of the chief's daughter, and they could make a big business, but Liu Shi didn't believe him...

With a bang, the car accident happened, just responding to the foreshadowing at the beginning.

Through the language of the camera, it cleverly gave an open ending.

Two years later.

Liu Shi met Sophie again in Hong Kong.

There was a can on the road blocking Liu Shi's way, but she used her blind stick to hit the can very accurately.

There was a loud discussion at the scene.

"Chu Chu, wait a minute, I'm going to pee."

The whole movie was full of climaxes, and there was no peeing point, but Wang Yiran squeezed her legs together and could not hold it back.

After drinking this big cup of milk tea today, she had already felt like peeing, but the movie was so good that she didn't want to miss any details.

She endured it for two hours, and her bladder went through a very severe test.

"Shishi, you acted so well. Can you please tell us what the heroine did in the end?"

"For this, everyone should ask the director."

A gentle smile appeared on Liu Shishi's face.

"Director Cao, what does the ending of the movie mean?"

"For this, you should ask Yu Tang. This is what he wrote in the script."

After the movie screening, it was time for the media exchange session. Many media around the film's creators, including the audience, were very interested in the open ending of the movie.

Cao Baoping smiled and kicked the ball to Zhou Yu Tang.

The audience was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Yu Tang, waiting for his answer.

Standing in the spot where the long guns and short guns were pointed, Zhou Yutang showed a slight smile on his lips: "Everyone wants to know what happened, the answer is in the details in the front, everyone can go to the cinema to find the answer."

Audience: flip the table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

In fact.

The last part of the movie.

Zhou Yutang discussed it with Cao Baoping many times before finally deciding on this expression.

Giving information through the third perspective is to let the audience do the reading comprehension themselves.

"Arthur , let's go. "

Chen Kaige was originally going to go back to the crew to continue filming "The Great Wall" today. Zhou Yutang had agreed to come to the premiere, so he specially took a day off and brought his wife and children to show his support.

As he watched, he became interested and gradually became serious.

After the end, he took his wife and children away, and couldn't help but sigh: "In domestic crime movies, I'm afraid no one can surpass Cao Baoping."

Chen Hong, who was beside him, heard this and asked: "How is it compared to Zhang Yimou?"

"Zhang Yimou is good at color and picture, Cao Baoping is good at characters and atmosphere, each has its own strengths, but if we only talk about the exquisite art, "The Tuner" is the best. "

"All the scripts were written by Zhou Yutang, and they are indeed exquisite."

Chen Kaige had a complicated expression, shook his head and sighed softly: "If he can do it for me."

"In the future, there may be a chance."

Chen Hong glanced at Zhou Yutang who was surrounded by the crowd, and a smile appeared on her charming face: "It will be released tomorrow, and the schedule is well arranged. It didn't run into us directly."

I have done so much for Chen Kaige As a producer of years, he still has vision.

Perhaps it is because Zhou Yutang is too powerful. All the works he supervised in the past few years are blockbuster masterpieces.

Chen Hong's intuition tells her that this movie should not be underestimated. Maybe the box office will bring unexpected surprises to the summer season.

"Yeah."

Brother Chen Kai nodded, obviously agreeing with Chen Hong's statement.

He approved of this movie and also had absolute confidence in himself. He said in a deep voice: "If it was put in early July, maybe one of the two tigers would be injured in the fight. Now is just right!"

After the premiere, the promotion was carried out simultaneously.

The first wave of film reviews about the movie was released that night.

"Interestingly, Zhou Yutang seems to have always had a special liking for crime dramas. The "Human Purge" series he made in North America was a big hit at the box office. This year, there are three different styles of movies, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", "Manslaughter", and "The Tuner", but they are all wonderful without exception.

The creative source of this movie is the classic short film "The Tuner" in 2010, which won the Best Short Film Award at the Luwen International Film Festival and the Best Short Film Award at the French César Awards in 2012."

However, the film adaptation by Zhou Yutang was quite successful. On the basis of the short film, the storyline and character settings were enriched. Various accidental coincidences and reversals made it impossible to guess what would happen in the next second, and also attracted me to want to understand how the subsequent story develops step by step.

Cao Baoping just won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Director. His narrative techniques and lens language are excellent, revealing the depth of human nature to the audience.

I sat in the cinema and still felt unsatisfied after watching the movie. I won't spoil the plot here, but I strongly recommend everyone to go to the cinema to watch it.

I heard that Zhou Yutang's next movie is "Detective Chinatown", which continues the worldview of the criminal universe of the Magic Thieves. It is a brand-new theme that combines crime suspense with comedy. I think it is worth looking forward to. "

This thoughtful review by the famous film critic Wei Jun received a lot of likes.

Other well-known film critics in the circle, such as Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Hu Ge, also reposted it on their Weibo and pre-sold the theater to support it.

The overall reputation is good, but some experts in the film and television industry are pessimistic: "Director Cao Baoping's ability and Zhou Yutang's screenwriting ability are unquestionable, but whether Liu Shishi can carry the box office is a question mark. ”

Liu Shishi, the person involved, didn’t care about these doubts.

At this time, she had already embarked on a roadshow with the main creative team of the crew.

“The movie “The Tuner”, directed by Cao Baoping, the best director of the Golden Goblet Award, produced and written by Zhou Yutang, and starred by Liu Shishi, grossed 59.3 million on the first day. It is a crime drama masterpiece that should not be missed! ”

The cast of the movie "The Tuner" is not top-notch. Apart from Liu Shishi and Wang Luodan, there are no big stars in the whole movie.

The box office on the first day was not a big hit. It was released during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was considered to have handed in a nearly perfect answer sheet to have such a box office.

At this time, "Jurassic World", which has been released for 13 days, has accumulated a box office of 1.037 billion.

It has become another Hollywood imported blockbuster with a box office of over 1 billion in China after "Chicken 7" and "Avengers 2"!

It's just that after the release, the box office growth rate slowed down, giving up the box office champion throne of the day, and also allowing "The Tuner" to successfully take the stage.

The next day was a working day, and the box office of "The Tuner" was still stable at 57.3 million!

On the third day, the box office The closing price was 60.29 million!

After three days of release, the total box office has reached 177 million!

First, "Divergent 2: Absolute Counterattack" was trampled under the feet. This imported thriller sci-fi film produced by Summit Entertainment of America had a box office of only 56.18 million in the first week.

In addition, "Young Class", co-produced by Kung Fu Pictures and Huayi, starring Sun Honglei, Zhou Dongyu, Wang Zijian, Wang Shuoxin, and Wang Zixuan, had a box office of only 27.54 million in the first week, and also became the soul of "The Tuner".

Jiangdong Entertainment's publicity gimmick for this movie mainly focused on Zhou Yutang's supervision and screenwriter, as well as the word-of-mouth marketing of the movie.

The quality of "The Tuner" supported the hard publicity of the movie in the early stage, and its subsequent potential is undoubtedly revealed.

"Highly recommend this movie!"

"Zhou Yutang is really amazing. This plot, with all kinds of reversals, simply made me stunned! ”

“Is there anyone who, like me, saw Liu Shishi go to report the case and the police boss appeared in front of her? The oppressive feeling scared me so much that I broke out in a cold sweat.”

“I was also scared and had a nightmare.”

“Who knows if Liu Shishi was really blind in the end?”

“Definitely not. Didn’t you see her knock the can away? She must have been pretending to be blind. So the question is, whose cornea did Liu Shishi replace?”

“Oh my god, it’s terrifying to think about it! ”

“I never dreamed that Zhou Yutang could make Yijie a good actress.”

As the number of moviegoers increased, the online discussion became quite lively.

The Douban score of 8.8 is enough to prove the quality of "The Tuner", and it also further promoted the continuous fermentation of the movie's reputation.

More of the interpretations of the details of the movie by the big hands on the Internet.

For example, "the metaphor of the rabbit", "the possibility of the ending", etc.

The more interpretations, the more heated the debate, and the more favorable the subsequent box office trend.

On the fourth day of release, the box office was 73.57 million, continuing to sit firmly on the throne of the single-day box office champion of Chinese movies.

Cao Baoping, who just won the Golden Goblet Best Director, has already created the peak record of his directorial career.

And the top-ranked young flower Liu Shishi also proved herself with her achievements...

...

Ps: Everyone give a thumbs up to the character card
