People who don't know what's going on are surprised, "Li Donglai just made a movie. Even though this movie combined Andy Lau + Maggie Cheung, it doesn't need to be like this."
Only those colleagues can understand the pain. Lee Dong-rae is now powerful and has never failed in a movie. One film has a higher box office than the other, and fans around the world are becoming more and more stable. Even if there is no promotion at all, word of mouth from fans will make the movie known to everyone.
Fortunately, Li Donglai also knows how to bully others, and he was very "honest" in his answers.
Some little shrimps who have been scheduled to be screened until October quickly moved to the battlefield, not daring to collide with these two giants. This is simply incomparable. If you are not careful, you will die without a burial place.
When Zhang Yimou¡¯s movie was released, he didn¡¯t dare to say that it would exceed one billion. Only Zhang Weiping was clamoring for more than one billion. Others are not optimistic that his anti-war film will exceed one billion.
But when it¡¯s Li Donglai¡¯s turn to return with his science fiction film, people are full of confidence!
?This honor was something that the older generation could not achieve, but when it was his turn as a 26-year-old young man, he achieved it. It has just released a trailer, and it has already achieved the much-anticipated achievement.
A movie's trailer is exciting and doesn't mean much, but the first trailer of Li Donglai's movie only excerpted a short section of thrilling content, the kind of exciting music, Maggie Cheung's constant breathing, and space satellite fragments flashing across her eyes. The picture gave countless people confidence.
"It's done. Just seeing this trailer, I know that Li Donglai's movie is successful again!" Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but speak.
Now people finally stopped saying anything.
Not only mainland China, but also Hong Kong and Taiwan have huge expectations.
With a combination like Li Donglai + Liu Dehua + Maggie Cheung sweeping across, who can resist them? Might as well hand over the white flag early.
Everyone's expectations for "Gravity" are really high. After "Inception", "Iron Man 2" has exceeded 1 billion US dollars globally, and "Avengers" has exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars globally. But those are hero movies, not science fiction. Now that science fiction has finally returned, people in many parts of the world are looking forward to Li Donglai's IMAX/3D science fiction movie.
In the U.S. Audience expectations on movie websites and forums continue to rise. "The new movie is a space disaster movie I can still think of "Apollo 13," which was a space masterpiece, a pretty good movie. Imagine that kind of In space, all the magnificent scenes are presented in front of the spacecraft. They are presented in front of our eyes with IMAX/3D effects What would that look like? I think it will definitely be outstanding!"
"Li Donglai's space science fiction film? That must be worthy of attention! There is no reason, I am his fan."
"There is no human figure in the trailer. It is a thrilling space rotation. I wonder what Li Donglai will show us with "Gravity" this time? Anyway, I am looking forward to it. I plan to go to the 3D theater to watch it. ! That's the best viewing experience for watching Lee Dong-rae's movies. So far, each of Lee Dong-rae's movies is better than the last. Anyway, he has never disappointed the fans Of course, except when "The Hangover 3" will be released Shooting starts?¡±
At the same time, in many other countries and regions, "Gravity" has also launched overwhelming publicity. Nearly half a billion US dollars of publicity funds have been spent. After more than half a year of publicity, everyone will know about it. Especially the big ticket warehouses. Make plans in advance.
The 66th Cannes International Film Festival will be held in mid-May. Lee Dong-rae's "Gravity" has been submitted to the Cannes Film Festival Committee for the first time and its registration has been announced.
The organizing committee received a film registration for the first time from Li Donglai, the most famous young director in the world, and was very cautious. The chairman of the Cannes Organizing Committee convened some judges from the main competition unit to make preliminary comments on the film. After watching it, all of them were shocked.
Then came the very sad news that they decided to let "Gravity" replace the previously confirmed "The Great Gabi" as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival. Then vote for the show, ten primary judges. Nine agreed, one opposed, passed!
The date of the 66th Cannes Film Festival is getting closer and closer, and their response speed is also very fast.
The next day, Cannes Film Festival Committee Chairman Gilles Jacob held a press conference and announced to the world with great regret, "When we made this decision, it was very contradictory. Both films are very good films, but some judges We thought that "Gravity" was more suitable as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival. So we voted, 9:1, the gap was obvious. In the end, we decided to follow the democratic decision. Let "Gravity" replace "The Great Lid" "Beats" as the opening ceremony film of the 66th Cannes Film Festival."
"Hua Hua"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?As soon as it was announced, the reporters in the audience were all excited. Passionately asking what's going on inside.
When the news came back to China, the media was in an uproar, and then there were surprises one after another.
"It is indeed Li Donglai. If he doesn't take action, it will be amazing!"
Li Donglai VS Leonardo, "Gravity" VS "The Great Gatsby", as a result, "Gatsby" was temporarily replaced by Cannes as the opening ceremony film.
It¡¯s simply unbelievable that something like this happened to a domestic film.
Although the Cannes Film Festival has always been one of the stages for Chinese-language films to be showcased in the world, the same is true for the United States, where their films are more popular. It's just that Cannes is the second choice for them. They have their own Oscar.
But now, a domestic film has extinguished the flames of American blockbusters and exploded with amazing reputation in Cannes. Suddenly it once again became the focus of attention in the entire Chinese-speaking area and even the entire world.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from Li Donglai's promotion on Weibo to break one billion, now there is no luck anymore.
It¡¯s time to change gears, hurry up, it¡¯s a good-looking, exciting and award-winning blockbuster, how can you compare with it with such a small budget?
The United States also had mixed reactions. The New York Times reported: "This is really a surprising decision. We don't know yet how good Lee Dong-rae's new film "Gravity" is, but as a world-renowned national film festival, it has already decided early. In order to adopt "The Great Gatsby" as the opening film, but then temporarily changed it, trampling "The Great Gatsby" into a stepping stone for "Gravity", does this have a negative impact on "Gatsby"? "Isn't it fair?"
"The Great Gatsby" is released by Warner Bros. and directed by Baz Luhrmann. The film is adapted from Fitzgerald's novel of the same name. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, "Spider-Man" Tobey Maguire and others, the film is scheduled to be officially released in the United States on May 10, 2013.
So the Cannes Film Festival held in May is one of the very important promotion places for "The Great Gatsby" which has been shortlisted. It was supposed to be the opening ceremony film, which would add a lot of color to the film. Unexpectedly, Li Donglai suddenly appeared in the middle and suddenly stabbed the film. This immediately puts "The Great Gatsby" into a disadvantageous position.
Warner has media support, and so does Phantom. The Los Angeles Times immediately responded with competing comments. "There is never absolute fairness in this world, there are only advantages and disadvantages. The Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee selected the new opening ceremony film with a voting ratio of 9:1. To some extent, this already represents a common idea. It shows that "Gravity" is better than "The Great Gatsby". Should a better movie be buried, instead of allowing a bad movie to win an award and show off?"
Yes, to use a movie line. Only children can talk about fairness, while adults only divide the gains and losses.
"Fair enough, that's a kid's trick.
This kind of hype made "Gravity", which had a short promotion period, quickly become popular internationally and attract much attention.
Li Donglai has a pretty good relationship with Leonardo. After all, he is one of the heroes of his famous movie. And Leonardo is also a playboy, but he shows off too much. He is getting older and older, and his body is like that of an old man. With a big beard and a small belly, she can play a pregnant woman. The young plums who were so magnificent back then are no longer there, there are only old plums.
Comparing it with Li Donglai¡¯s image, it¡¯s immediately different by several levels. Li Donglai is younger, more legendary, and more handsome, and he is in the most glorious period of his life. Sitting on tens of billions of assets. One of the youngest richest people in the world. Although he is also a playboy, he does it very secretly. He is always merciful, but does not hurt feelings, and he gets along very well with women.
When comparing the two sides, they are two extremes.
Fans obviously prefer Li Donglai.
Just like that, "Gravity" killed its first victim before it even showed its sharp edge.
Leonardo unfortunately became Li Donglai¡¯s stepping stone. Although Li Donglai did not do it unintentionally, he did not care about his affairs. But it was actually stepping on Leonardo's head that made "Gravity" famous.
It is worth mentioning that the movie "Jewelry" starring Li Donglai's wife Emma Watson was also selected for the "Un Certain Regard" section of the Cannes Film Festival. The two of them will go to Cannes together then.
"Gravity" was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May, but it was not released globally until October. It¡¯s clear that it¡¯s aimed at next year¡¯s Oscars.
Li Donglai¡¯s ¡°Sima Zhao¡¯s Heart¡±. Everyone on the street knows it.
¡°Anyway, he already announced outside the Dolby Theater that he will return to the Oscars next year. Although it was not said categorically and left a lot of leeway, there was still some doubts at that time.Some media deliberately misinterpreted Li Donglai's words and wrote headlines that were very eye-catching in order to gain news. There are many who are sarcastic and sarcastic.
It¡¯s just that as soon as ¡°Gravity¡± came out, it immediately defeated ¡°The Great Gatsby¡±, an Oscar-seeded film, in Cannes. It immediately reminded the American media of what Lee Dong-lai said outside the Oscars not long ago.
"Is it true that Li Donglai will return to the Oscars? Will he compete for the best foreign language film with his Chinese film "Gravity"?"
¡°Best foreign language film?¡±
¡°Obviously I underestimated Li Donglai, there are not many foreign language films competing for the award.
Li Donglai has made mistakes several times and won the Oscar for Best Director, and he has been eyeing this award for a long time. All plans were made in detail. As soon as the movie was released, a vigorous public relations campaign was launched.
It¡¯s too early to say who will win next year¡¯s Oscars!
