Chapter 711 "Little Forest" Is Released

"Yes, I was always surprised after watching the sample film. Oh, is this me? The feeling of looking at a stranger," An Xiaoxi said mysteriously, "Speaking of this, Director Hao specifically asked someone to learn it."

"Do you need to learn this?" Li Jing was very cooperative.

"Of course, for them, it is a skill to shoot women beautifully." An Xiaoxi chatted very easily.

"Hao Yun, who did you learn from? Why did you think of learning this?" Li Jing did not forget to interact with Hao Yun. Although she avoided the key points, she was not too far away from the key points, always ready to find a gap.

"There are many people to learn from, such as Jiang Wen, Xu Ke, Wang Jiawei, Zhou Xiaowen, etc. Most directors have a few unique skills. I don't have much talent as a director. Basically, I learn from the directors I have met." Hao Yun told the truth.

But he was responded by boos.

The name of the genius director has spread abroad, and you actually said that you have no talent.

It's simply shameless.

"Then who do you think has the greatest influence on you?"

"Of course it's Jiang Wen!"

Hao Yun said without hesitation. He was not flattering. Whether it was entering the industry or laying the foundation, Jiang Wen taught him step by step.

In the first movie "The Heart Labyrinth", Jiang Wen stayed in the crew from beginning to end, and even in "Those Years", Jiang Wen was still there.

It was only when he came to "Whiplash" that he felt that Hao Yun had learned almost everything, so he changed to occasionally going, but it added up to more than ten days.

People can always see some traces of Jiang Wen when watching Hao Yun's movies.

Hao Yun never shied away from talking about Jiang Wen.

Zheng Banqiao once carved a seal for himself that read "Xu Qingteng's running dog", indicating that he admired Xu Qingteng's poetic talent very much and was willing to become his student.

Although Hao Yun did not claim to be "Jiang Wen's running dog", his attitude was not bad at all.

When people with no ability cling to others, it is called currying favor with the powerful, and when people with ability pay tribute, it is a good story that people talk about with relish.

"It seems that you and Jiang Wen have a very good relationship. Your "Little Forest" will be released on August 19, and Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" will be released on September 21. Do you mean to avoid each other deliberately?"

Li Jing made Hao Yun and Jiang Wen interact and chat, which is also a way to improve the quality of the program.

"Haha..." Hao Yun laughed dryly twice and snorted: "Why avoid him? I'm not afraid of him."

The audience below the stage made a noise.

What everyone likes to see most is to fight, so this master-disciple confrontation is even more interesting.

"It seems that you are confident that you can beat Jiang Wen at the box office?" Li Jing watched the excitement and didn't mind the big deal.

"...Four movies plus one should be no problem!" Hao Yun said slowly.

The audience laughed so hard.

He is really brave and cowardly.

I didn't expect that Hao Yun, a genius director, also has such a lovely side, which can't be seen on the screen.

"It's a pity that Jiang Wen didn't make a cameo appearance in this movie. Why didn't you think of asking Jiang Wen to make a cameo appearance at that time?" Li Jing asked while holding back his laughter.

"That can't be possible. If he appears, it won't be "Little Forest", it will definitely be "Western Mountain Bandits"."

Hao Yun directly teased Jiang Wen. Anyway, Jiang Wen's new movie is not far away, and it will be good for the movie if it is popular.

If it is a headline in Hong Kong media, it must be something like Hao Yun betraying his teacher and destroying his ancestors, which is definitely explosive enough.

"In the second version of the trailer, there is a shot of An Xiaoxi going into the water. Did she really go swimming?" Li Jing asked this question on behalf of the audience.

"The Return of the Condor Heroes" also has many shots of going into the water.

But that is ancient costume, which is definitely different from modern costume.

An Xiaoxi has it, and it looks good, but it's not very generous.

The most impressive thing for everyone is probably that she showed her shoulders in "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", but the style at that time was too pure, and people didn't have any thoughts at all.

"No, no, it's just catching shrimps in the stream!"

An Xiaoxi said quickly. She didn't dare to go swimming in the lake because Hao Yun said there might be leeches in it.

The lake water is not as clear as the stream water. You can't see the bottom at a glance, which looks scary.

But Hao Yun often goes to the lake to swim, and dives far away.

I don't know why, An Xiaoxi misses the life in Quanshang Village. They haven't been there for half a year, and I don't know if the house there has collapsed (?).

However, with the release of "Little Forest", it will definitely be very lively there.

I don't know if Quanshang Village can make a profit from this traffic.

For example, sell some wine and beverages, open a farmhouse, etc.

August 19 is the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day, which is only a week away from An Xiaoxi's birthday. When An Xiaoxi's birthday comes, it happens to be the time when the movie is hot.

The reason why the movie was released on this day may be that someone has some secret thoughts.

The movie was released very low-key, and there was not even a premiere.

Because there was really no money.

The budget of six million was spent cleanly, and the post-production of four movies was a lot of money.

Anyway, Hao Yun doesn't plan to invest any more money.

He didn't plan to make much money from this series, it was mainly for the purpose of promoting people.

Moreover, "The Sound of Wind" is about to be released.

The total investment of "The Sound of Wind" is 50 million, and it is possible to recover the cost only if the box office exceeds 100 million. Hao Yun has been vigorously promoting this movie recently.

It's just that when promoting this movie, he also mentioned "Little Forest".

However, the popularity of "Little Forest" is not low at all.

It can even be said that it is not much lower than "The Sound of Wind".

Perhaps there are already many movies and TV series about the anti-Japanese war and spy war, and no matter how you shoot it, no one will find it strange.

On the contrary, "Little Forest" is an alternative.

Coupled with the popularity of Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, there is a situation where the popularity of this kind of project that is desperately promoted is not as good as the popularity of the project that is not promoted.

On August 10, Fang Long's "Rush Hour 3" was released on Miguo, and won the North American box office championship with a score of 50.23 million US dollars in the first week.

On August 15, the song "Moving Heaven and Earth" became a hit. How can I not move you when I move heaven and earth?

Those who hear it are sad, and those who listen to it cry.

On August 16, Zhang Jingchu was photographed by reporters eating and shopping with director Zhang Jiarui. The atmosphere was quite warm, and it was suspected that their relationship was exposed.

August was so lively, but it was not as lively as the release of "Little Forest" on August 19.

On the day of the release, the official blog of "Little Forest" also released the third version of the trailer.

It has already been released, so it should not be called a trailer.

It can be said to be a promotional video.

There is nothing special about this promotional video. The pictures are not much improved compared with the second version, but the length has been increased a lot.

In addition to the scenery, some shots of An Xiaoxi cooking were added.

Then there is the music.

Hao Yun did not hide it this time, but released the full version of "Night, Fireflies and You".

It can even be said that the promotional video is equivalent to an MV.

With the copy "You and fireflies have two things in common, both of them glow in my eyes, and at the same time, I haven't seen them for many years."

Let a group of young literary and artistic people spontaneously promote "Little Forest".

Of course, the first group of people who really invested in the promotion of "Little Forest" were those who had seen the movie.

Although the production cost was not high - mainly because An Xiaoxi starred for free, and Hao Yun directed and starred for free, otherwise it would definitely cost more than 10 million yuan - but all major theaters paid enough attention to it.

Hao Yun did say that the movie might not have much box office.

But his credibility has returned to zero, and everyone ignores his judgment.

Even though there are many popular movies in the same period, such as "Transformers", "Harry Potter", "Doraemon", "Secret", "Flash Point" and so on, the cinema has given enough screenings.

It doesn't look like the screenings of niche art films at all.

Anyway, the screenings can be reduced at any time, and it's not too late to reduce them when the market proves that it is not good.

Starting from the first show at 2 pm, major cities began to intensively arrange the release schedule of "Little Forest" and placed movie posters in the most conspicuous position.

Even the speakers in the cinema are playing "Night, Fireflies and You".

If you don't pay attention to it, our cinema chain will pay attention to it.

After two hours, the audience walked out of the cinema one after another. Some hurried to the toilet, while others talked about the movie with their companions with a beaming face.

"I said this movie must be good, this is a movie written and directed by Hao Yun, and it is a collaboration between Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, how could it be bad..."

"There is indeed no plot."

"How can there be no plot? It's just that the plot is relatively simple. If you are given a particularly complicated plot, do you think the movie will be better?"

"Now that you put it that way, it's really the case. The simple plot of this movie is an advantage."

The two boys walked and talked.

"Are you also fans of Xixi?" Three girls came out of the same show as them. When they heard them chatting, they couldn't help but chat with them.

One of the boys was about to deny that they were fans of Hao Yun's movies, but before they could say anything, they were bumped by their companions with their elbows.

His companion said with a pious face: "Yes, we are fans of Xixi. Could it be that you..."

"Yes, we are too. Xixi is so beautiful, and Hao Yun is so good at shooting. My God, it's even more beautiful than the trailer..." One of the girls seemed to have found a kindred spirit and couldn't help sharing.

"Yes, my buddy and I are going to make a wallpaper for our computer desktop..." The boys are very talkative.

"Can you do it?" The girls also showed interest.

"It's easy. My buddy is a computer expert. He can make anything you want. Why don't we have a meal and chat slowly? We rarely meet Xixi's fans in real life..."

Those who watched the first show were basically similar fans or movie fans.

After watching the movie, they were full of ideas for discussion and sharing. Some of them chatted enthusiastically in real life.

Some posted what they wanted to express online.

Some professional film critics bought tickets early.

Some even started thinking about how to write film reviews while sitting in the cinema.
