At night.
Chen mu, Bai Yue and Tao Yaoyao are walking by the bridge. They are blowing wet and cool sea breeze.
It's December. It's very cold. People on the street are wearing thick down jackets.
"Time goes by so fast that the film will be finished in a twinkling of an eye." Tao Yaoyao looked at the waves rolling on the rocky sea in the distance.
"I didn't feel anything when I participated in it, but I still felt some emotion when I really finished it."
Chen mubai said with a smile: "because you are doing things seriously and devote yourself to the shooting. You can't feel the time. You are training yourself every day to bring yourself into Ren Xiaoyan's role and feel the journey."
Tao Yaoyao knew that her acting skills were not strong, so she redoubled her efforts in order not to drop the chain.
This is her first time in Chen mubai's film, and she doesn't want to drag herself down.
The plot of the film is very good, and the quality is certainly not bad. You can't let others make an issue on the acting skills of the actors.
Fortunately, Tao Yaoyao finished very well, and his acting skills passed the test. He made great progress in this play.
"After the film is finished, we'll see less of each other during this period of time." Tao Yaoyao turns around and looks at Chen mubai, pouting his little mouth and muttering.
Every day in the crew, they are not tired of staying together.
Now that we have finished shooting, we have to devote ourselves to our own work. Naturally, we can't meet each other every day. Tao Yaoyao still wants Chen mubai very much.
Although they have been together for a long time, they first went to Norway for half a month and participated in the electronic syllables together. Chen mubai also wrote an electronic sound for her. After they came back, they put into the production of hypnotist and got along with each other every day.
Even if it's just work, it's good for Tao Yaoyao to be together every day. After two months, she still doesn't feel sleepy.
For Tao Yaoyao, who fell in love for the first time, it's OK to get along with Chen mubai all the time, which is the greatest sweetness.
After all, relative to the particularity of the occupation, two people get together less and get away more. When they have time to get together, they will be close to each other a lot, and there will be no contradiction.
"If you come to me, I'll come again." Tao Yaoyao said in a low voice.
This is her telling Chen mubai that she wants to continue filming with him.
Now her acting skills have improved a lot. She thinks she can accept the film. She is still in the process of learning and will make progress. Her acting skills should be able to keep up.
If not, she would still refuse the invitation as she did at the beginning.
However, she didn't directly ask Chen mubai to make her the female leader, because some plays are role picking. Tao Yaoyao means that if the role allows, she can continue to play.
"Don't worry, I won't forget you." Chen mubai smiles and gently pinches Tao Yaoyao's delicate nose.
"Also, if you're shooting outside, you can find me a video when you have time. If you don't have time, it's OK!" Tao Yaoyao continued to exhort.
After staying with Chen mubai for a long time, she became more and more attached to him.
"Yes, sir Chen mubai made Tao Yaoyao laugh with a salute.
"Ha ha!"
"The next time I work with you, it should be next year." Tao Yaoyao pours into Chen mubai's arms and says softly, just like a kitten.
Now it's mid December, and there are two months left for the new year.
There is certainly no time to be together this year. Even for the sake of film promotion, it is estimated that it will be years later. After all, the production of the film has not started in the later stage.
After this separation, Tao Yaoyao will put himself into work again.
During this period of time, her fame has risen very fast and her popularity is very high. She is one of the most popular female stars in China, which is no worse than any other star.
Since rolling in the deep was popular, her announcements have been coming like snowflakes.
However, she put off a lot. In order to travel to Norway with Chen mubai and make the movie "hypnotist", she didn't receive any notice, just to do it in the best posture.
Now that it's done, she's going to start working. What she can meet is that she will be busy again.
"No, this year." Chen mubai said.
"Well?" Tao Yaoyao looks up at Chen mubai in surprise: "what else can we do together years ago?"
"I'll show this film in the Spring Festival, and I'll start the promotion a year ago."
"Spring Festival? Are you going to compete with the big directors for the box office Tao Yaoyao stares big eyes, surprised way.
"Hypnotist" is Chen mubai's third film. He chose to direct it in Spring Festival!?
Even though the box office of the first two films was very successful, it's a little early now.
Spring Festival is the biggest time of the year in China, and it is also the most competitive time.
There may be dozens of films competing for the box office, of which three to four will be excellent, and the rest will be cannon fodder.
Basically, it's all the big directors fighting for the Spring Festival. This is the battle between them. All the famous actors will fight together. This is the most fierce fight!
However, there are also advantages, that is, during the Spring Festival, there will be no foreign films entering, all of which are Chinese local films.
"Well." Chen mubai affirmed: "I am very confident."
"However, the type of hypnotist is not suitable for the Spring Festival file..." Tao Yaoyao worries.
"Hypnotist" is a suspense movie, the Spring Festival file is a happy breath of the new year, generally comedy based, you can go to see the whole family.
There are many audiences for action movies, but few people choose to watch suspense movies during the Spring Festival
Let's not say that it's not good for people to be scared during the Chinese New Year. Some people will feel that the Chinese New Year is full of joy and it's not suitable to watch suspense, supernatural and bloody movies.
From the audience, "hypnotist" is a lot less people, parents with children will not choose this kind of film.
If you use this film to compete for the box office in the Spring Festival, I'm afraid it will backfire.
Tao Yaoyao is worried about this. If it's "Crazy Stone" instead, it's certainly no problem. Everyone will have fun together during the Spring Festival. The box office of the film will never be bad.
Tao Yaoyao believes that the release of "hypnotist" in the Spring Festival will definitely affect the box office, which is not as good as in the normal time.
Although the total box office of the Spring Festival movies is the highest, the types of movies are not as popular as the rest of the movie audiences. The box office of movies will inevitably be impacted. No matter how big the base is, it has nothing to do with hypnotist!
"Don't worry, although it's a problem, it's not a horror movie. People who like to watch it will still watch it, and those who don't like to watch it will not watch it in the rest of the time. Depending on word-of-mouth distribution at that time, the box office may not be bad." Chen said.
There are always people who are curious. For these people, it's the same at any time.
Of course, some families with children will be eliminated, but for Chen mubai, this movie is not a ghost movie, so it won't scare children. After the movie is broadcast, word-of-mouth and evaluation will come out, so will parents who are willing to take their children to see it.
No matter when and where, the final box office competition is quality.
At this point, Chen mubai is confident to compete with them!
If it was really a horror film, he would not choose this schedule.
In fact, during the Spring Festival, many people will go on a blind date. Instead, they will choose to watch this kind of movie, which can deepen the relationship with the opposite sex.
Girls are weak. Once they feel afraid, they will get close to boys, which is a good opportunity for boys to get close to each other. This part of young people is the potential audience of the film.
There are many blind date people during the Chinese New Year!
"Well, then do more publicity." Tao Yaoyao saw that Chen mubai was so confident: "tell me the time of publicity in advance, and then I'll reserve a trip for you."
"Yes."
......
After the shooting of hypnotist, Chen mubai began the problem of post production.
This movie still needs some special effects. Many of the clips are shot in the green cloth scene, which needs the special effects synthesis scene in the later stage.
"Wulin waizhuan" is still being filmed. It is estimated that it will be filmed until next year. The number of episodes of this play is relatively large, the workload of filming is relatively large, and the time will be longer.
However, the advantage is fixed-point shooting, but there is less travel time. We have been shooting in one place all the time. We all have good living and eating and drinking problems, and we are in good working condition.
After all, it's a comedy. There are a lot of comedies. The overall atmosphere of the crew is good, and the state of filming is very good. It's a virtuous circle.
Tao Yaoyao returned to the notice. During this time, she disappeared a lot of time. Now she is catching up with the notice and is wandering on the top of the major variety shows.
We all know that "hypnotist" has been shot, in the post production, for the release time to make a guess.
Some people think it will be shown on the first day of the lunar new year, others think it will be shown on Valentine's day after the Spring Festival.
Both sides have good reasons. Most people think it will be shown on Valentine's day.
Because you can stagger the fierce competition in the Spring Festival, another is that the type of film is not popular in the Spring Festival, this film is not suitable for the Spring Festival.
Everyone's opinion is the same as Tao Yaoyao's, but they don't know Chen mubai's plan.
As for Chen mubai's films, more and more people pay attention to them. No one thinks that Chen mubai is not qualified to compete with those big directors in the Spring Festival. After all, his two works have proved his strength.
Although the influence and fame may not be as good as those famous directors, no one will ignore his ability!
Lu Fang and others maintain the operation of mubai's entertainment. Wulin waizhuan and hypnotist are two key works. Stills and GAGs are slowly released to maintain popularity.
A month later, the trailer of "hypnotist" was released, in which the exact release time of the film was released. On the first day of the lunar new year, Chen mubai announced that he had officially entered the competition for the Spring Festival!
