Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 243 is set!

Although "If You Are the One 2" was accused of "sharing the profits before the release" before its release, this still couldn't stop Feng's comedy from making a big splash during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Before its release, If You Are the One 2 earned over 6000 million from patches and product placements, which basically covered the costs, and the box office after its release was pure profit.

This sounds unreasonable, but this is Feng Xiaogang's current strength.

"If You Are the One 2" grossed 3325 million on its first day. As soon as this result came out, some media predicted that "If You Are the One 2" could break 5 million together with "Let the Bullets Fly".

This also shows from another perspective how much the market values Feng Xiaogang today.

On the Christmas weekend, the crew of "In Time" started promoting the show again, and it was some heavy-duty material.

Christmas Day is Saturday. At 10 a.m., the official Weibo account of the movie "In Time" released the studio version of the movie's pilot theme song.

"The World", sung by Lei Jia and Sun Nan.

Lyrics: Li Qiutang; Music: Li Qiutang.

This is a theme song that is extremely inconsistent with the theme of "In Time". The movie is clearly about the future world, but the lyrics of "The World" are clearly about reality.

But this is also a theme song that fits the theme of "In Time". "The World" tells the audience very straightforwardly that this world has many joys and sorrows, but "the world is worth it", encouraging the audience to "face the sun all your life, grow with all things in this soil."

Just like the movie "In Time" so bluntly expresses the need to struggle, to be unyielding, and to resist.

Lei Jia and Sun Nan sang together very beautifully.

As soon as the theme song was released, it was loved by many netizens.

Especially as the New Year is approaching, the two lines from "The World" "I wish you can cross thousands of waves and stay by the side of your lover" and "I also wish you will not forget your youth and not be afraid of gray hair" are very appropriate.

It’s a very beautiful wish.

But at the same time, the arrangement of this song is soothing, even with a hint of sadness, and this hint of sadness adds a sense of heaviness to the whole song.

It seems that while the author is encouraging people, he also knows that people's lives are indeed not easy.

There are not many new songs at the end of the year. Once "The World" was released, coupled with the promotion by the publicity and marketing team, it quickly became a hot song.

And with the help of Liu Yifei.

At the wrap-up press conference of "In Time", Li Qiutang personally promised that Liu Yifei would sing the movie's theme song.

But now the first theme song is not sung by Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei responded in an interview: "This song was written by our director, and he said I can't sing it." From her tone, Liu Yifei seemed not very satisfied with this statement.

In fact, Liu Yifei had recorded this song in the studio, but her version was beaten by Lei Jia, and she was embarrassed to mention it. However, she saved her DEMO on her computer and would listen to it when she had free time.

Now Liu Yifei knew that Li Qiutang could write songs, and could even write such a beautiful song as "The World".

"Have you forgotten that I used to be in a band?" What? A drummer can't write songs?

Liu Yifei pestered Li Qiutang to write a song for her: "You promised to let me sing the theme song, but you didn't let me sing any of the three songs!"

Li Qiutang wrote three songs for "In Time", "The World" is the first one, and the other two will be released later.

Li Qiutang explained: "When I wrote the song, the first thing I considered was whether it would match the content of the movie. I didn't think about whether you could sing it or not."

Then he promised his girlfriend: "Next time, next time, next time I will definitely write a song you can sing."

The next day, the three leading actors Liu Ye, Liu Yifei and Zhang Guoli went to record an episode of "Lu Yu Has an Appointment", and Li Qiutang went alone to attend a campus event.

Afterwards, all the leading actors and Li Qiutang met up to participate in the campus tour.

College students have always been the main group of moviegoers. Since winter vacation has not yet begun, the crew will visit more schools to convey movie information to students.

Liu Yifei is very popular among college students!

The campus tour was basically supported by Liu Yifei's popularity. It's not that no one came to see Liu Ye, Li Qiutang and others, but the fans of others were not even a fraction of the fans of the fairy fans. Zhang Guoli ran to two schools and then left, Liu Ye ran to three schools, and Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei ran the entire first phase of the campus tour.

During the New Year's Day holiday, the crew of "In Time" was also very busy, and after the holiday they started the publicity journey again.

On the first working day after New Year’s Day, “In Time” released its first trailer, which was also the release date trailer.

The trailer is playfully titled “The Countdown Begins.”

The first shot of the trailer is a green countdown clock. Yang Peng wakes up and says it’s too late.

The official trailer features a lot of thrilling scenes, including a battle between robots and dog dogs, and Liu Yifei kicking Liu Ye when she was kidnapped, but then the two of them jumped out of a plane together like their comrades.

In the official trailer, several leading actors showed up one after another.

Lan Tiejun, played by Zhang Guoli, said seriously: "Do you think you can change the world?"

Yang Peng said: "How do you know it won't work if you don't try it?"

Mr. Zhang, played by Zhao Wenxuan, stood on the podium and shouted loudly: "We must save ourselves!"

Jiang Wu said, "You can't save them."

Yu Feihong said: "Hold on."

Finally, amid a burst of explosions, the screen stopped at "February 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the countdown begins!"

"In Time" is officially scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival.

The official trailer has a lot of exciting scenes, at least the scenes are good and fascinating.

After the release of the release date trailer, the pre-screening promotion of "In Time" officially began.

The entire publicity and promotion team began to work hard.

As the male and female protagonists, Liu Ye and Liu Yifei have the heaviest workload. They have to accept interviews from at least 5 media outlets a day and record various programs.

Li Qiutang sometimes goes with them and sometimes goes alone.

"I was very upset in the first month after joining the group."

"It was so hot in the shed in Hengdian at that time. Sometimes after taking a walk, my clothes were soaked from inside to outside, and I felt like I had been fished out of the water."

“The director is very good, he is serious about his work but also very kind to us actors.”

"In my first scene together, the director asked me to do more than 20 takes."

Liu Ye and Liu Yifei were in charge of the publicity. They talked the most, especially Liu Yifei. The film was finally going to be released, and she was very excited and had a lot to say.

Advertisements for "In Time" have been posted on plazas, bus stops, subway billboards, elevator screens, etc. across the country.

Liu Ye and Liu Yifei’s main posters are all over the country.

The propaganda has begun, and accordingly, a new round of attacks and smears has also begun.

This time, the haters are still targeting Liu Yifei, because she is too attractive and too easy to be criticized.

"Liu Yifei is suspected of being a prostitute and being overly intimate with Zeng Yike."

There are photos, and it really looks like that.

They said Li Qiutang was it before, and now they say Liu Yifei is it. Have they run out of work to do?

Liu Yifei still wouldn't make excuses because she and the director were going to fly to the United States again as the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was about to begin.
