My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Facing this somewhat sharp question, Wang Qiang smiled reluctantly, but still answered seriously.

"I don't think it can be called a compromise. In fact, I didn't think about taking a comedy at the beginning, but when Director Ye found me, after reading the script of "Detective Chinatown", I found that the story moved me very much, so I took it without hesitation."

"An actor's job is to act well. I think no matter what the subject matter is, as long as you can continue to bring good works, worthy of the screen and the audience, it's fine."

The press conference ended, backstage.

Wang Qiang found Ye Zhiqiu and apologized for the interview just now.

Because of the public opinion he caused, the online reputation of the movie "Detective Chinatown" still had a certain impact.

"Hey, that's nothing." Ye Zhiqiu said nonchalantly, "Brother Qiang, you don't think I care, do you?"

"What comedy this and that? We make commercial films just to make money. How can we be so sensitive?"

Wang Qiang smiled naively, but a trace of worry still flashed in the depths of his eyes.

......

After the content of the press conference of "Detective Chinatown" was released, it attracted the attention of many fans.

Especially for the interview with Wang Qiang, a media published an article titled "Wang Qiang is still trying hard to laugh in middle age", which caused a heated discussion.

In the film industry, there is a "contempt chain" between different types of works.

If art films are at the top of the contempt chain, comedy films are at the bottom.

You say that not many people like to watch art films, and they are well-received but not popular? But they are high-class! No matter how good your comedy box office is, it is earned by acting crazy and stupid, what's the use.

Therefore, in the eyes of some fans, any actor who has a little bit of aspirations is not doing his job when he plays "comedy".

Little do they know that comedy has even higher requirements for actors than ordinary dramas. After all, if the acting skills are a little worse, it will be very awkward. It is very difficult to make people laugh without being deliberate or vulgar.

You know, when top comedians play serious dramas, that is the real dimensionality reduction attack.

In any case, under this wave of heat, the attention of the film "Detective Chinatown" continues to rise.

At the same time, somewhere in Beijing.

"The Chase" is a film that will be released on the "May Day" schedule, and the film crew is holding a meeting before the release.

At this time, director Wang Yan is reading the report on the press conference of "Detective Chinatown".

When seeing the comments of netizens that "this year's most anticipated detective suspense film", Wang Yan sneered, and a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes.

As a director, Wang Yan is not very famous, but because he has directed three criminal investigation films with a box office of over 500 million yuan, he is known as one of the best directors in the film and television industry in this niche field.

This time, "The Chase" directed by him is also a suspenseful criminal investigation film. It has some overlap with "Detective Chinatown" in terms of subject matter and is considered one of its direct competitors.

Therefore, when he saw these comments from netizens, he was very disdainful in his heart.

Comedy is comedy, why brag about suspense!

Now there are too many "sheep-headed dog meat" movies, which disrupt the market!

Ye Zhiqiu is a new director, and I have never heard of any experience in shooting this kind of subject matter before. It is likely that there are a few characters in the movie, and then just make a gimmick to get some heat during the promotion.

On the side, an investor said worriedly: "This "Detective Chinatown" has a large investment, a luxurious cast, and high popularity. The subject matter also collides with "The Chaser." "Although Ye Zhiqiu is a new director, his previous film "No Man's Land" has made him famous and well-known. In addition to Wang Qiang, all major theaters are very optimistic about this combination and are willing to give him the screening schedule. He has nearly 40% of the "Detective Chinatown" and 60% of the other 8 films. It's very disadvantageous to us." On the other side, the assistant director with a sparse head sighed and said: "Now the theaters are all looking at people for dishes. , the film with the highest investment and the most famous actors will be given more screenings. ”

“The cost of "Detective Chinatown" is more than 300 million, and the publicity is also overwhelming. It is normal for major theaters to be willing to schedule them. This time, the theaters we have cooperated with for a long time also cut 20% of the screenings of "The Chaser" and gave it to "Detective Chinatown." ”

The investor just now also sighed: "More than 300 million, I have to say, Ye Zhiqiu is really daring to shoot."

"The cost of "No Man's Land" was only tens of millions, and the next one is so big, what courage..."

Wang Yan curled his lips and said with a sour tone: "Young people are just hot-headed, after a lucky success, he felt that he was very powerful and his body and mind were inflated. "

"With an investment of more than 300 million, at least 1 billion box office is needed to make a profit. The May Day period is not a big period. The previous highest box office record was only 1.1 billion. His "Detective Chinatown" wants to break the record at every turn, how can it be so easy."

"That's what I said." The investor smiled bitterly, "I don't care whether he can make a profit. What I care about is that the May Day period is so short, and the prime time is only a few days, and it will pass in a blink of an eye."

"Our film type overlaps with "Detective Chinatown". The audience will most likely give priority to "Detective Chinatown", which is more heavily promoted. Our box office will definitely be affected."

"Not necessarily." At this time, director Wang Yan suddenly said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing if the subject matter coincides. "

Everyone was stunned and looked at him.

Wang Yan's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Although it is labeled as a 'suspense detective', "Detective Chinatown" is essentially a comedy. Audiences who watch it with the purpose of watching a suspense film will inevitably be disappointed."

"At the same time, the suspense and reasoning plots are the strengths of "The Chase", so we can focus on this in the subsequent publicity."

"After the reputation of "Detective Chinatown" in suspense collapses, we will vigorously promote it as a 'real suspense film', which will easily bring the audience back."

"And." Wang Yan smiled slightly, "In this case, the momentum created by the vigorous publicity of "Detective Chinatown" is equivalent to making wedding clothes for us."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all felt that this method seemed feasible.

"But..." The assistant director raised a question hesitantly, "If "Detective Chinatown" is really a good mystery film, what should we do? "

Wang Yan's mouth curled up slightly, and he did not answer the question, but asked a question in return.

"Do you think it's possible?"
