Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 78 Two Women Fighting
"Yesterday, director Li Qiutang's second film "No One in My Eyes" held its premiere in Beijing. The film tells the story of... Fan Bingbing took off her high heels and performed the dance from the film, winning rounds of applause."

"The film "No One in My Eyes", directed by Li Qiutang and produced by Huayi, premiered in Beijing yesterday. The main creators talked about the ups and downs during the filming period. Huang Xiaoming thanked director Li Qiutang for opening up his acting career and said that playing a villain was very interesting."

"'No One' premiered yesterday and was well received by celebrity guests and media fans. Li Bingbing said that after watching the movie, he wanted to work with director Li Qiutang. The martial arts action fans at the scene were very impressed by the film's happy revenge and hearty action. Many fans said they would watch it again when the film is officially released."

"At the premiere of 'No One's Back', director Li Qiutang is confident about the box office and boasts: I am not afraid of anyone!" Li Qiutang has to brag like this, otherwise it won't be loud enough.

After the premiere at Yanjing, reviews from some professional film critics were also released.

Zhou Liming: "The success of Comet shows Li Qiutang's ability to create a unique story. When people thought he would continue to show his ability to arrange stories, he produced an action film with an extremely simple story. From the perspective of drama, the story of No Man's Eye is not complicated from narrative to structure. It was even criticized for being crude before the screening. But after watching it yesterday, I found that the focus of Li Qiutang in No Man's Eye was not the story, but the language of the camera. He used extremely efficient and powerful language to tell a 'simple' story very well. Whether it is the long shot at the beginning, the portrayal of action scenes and character interactions in the middle, or the bold use of black and white tones at the end, all of them show his tribute to Kurosawa Akira and Hu Jinquan."

Zhang Xiaobei: "The quality of "No Man's Eye" is good. It is a rare fine martial arts film in recent years. Unlike "The Banquet" and "War of War", Li Qiutang did not add too much ideology to "No Man's Eye". In an interview with the director Li Qiutang, he said: "Putting entertainment first, it would be a shame to the investors and actors if it can't make money." But the competitor of "No Man's Eye" is "Resurrection of the Dragon", which is coming with great momentum and should not be underestimated."

Li Qiutang has never underestimated "See You, Resurrection of the Dragon". Even though he has been arguing with Li Rengang these days, looking down on this and that, this is Li Qiutang's strategic contempt for the enemy. However, in terms of specific tactics, he does not despise "See You, Resurrection of the Dragon" at all.

The opponent has Andy Lau, and it's a war blockbuster. Today's audiences have a strong demand for blockbusters and big scenes.

Li Qiutang was even thinking of making up some gossip to win votes for "Arrogant".

The marketing director suggested to him that he could hype up the love triangle scandal between him, Fan Bingbing and Huo Siyan.

Fan Bingbing and Huo Siyan, two women, compete for one man. What a pleasant plot this sounds like.

This trick of creating gossip really works!
Personally, Li Qiutang isn't particularly averse to rumors, but she's not particularly willing to do so either.

While he was still struggling with the issue, someone sent gossip to the crew.

Fan Bingbing and Huo Siyan are fighting!
As the leading actress, Huo Siyan was dissatisfied with the cutting of her highlight scenes. She was completely reduced from a leading actress to a vase. She couldn't do anything to the director or the crew, but she was not allowed to vent?

In an interview with a reporter, Huo Siyan said about her upcoming new film: "Bingbing acted very well. I was stunned at the scene. He really acted like himself."

She knew that Fan Bingbing played a singer.

How could Fan Bingbing just sit back and watch? In her interview, she responded: "I didn't know how to act at first, but then I thought, I can learn from Si Yan. She is very popular in the company, loves to play, and is very mature in greeting and seeing off people. I just need to act like her."

Huo Siyan's reputation as Huayi's public relations manager is widely circulated, and many people actually believe what Fan Bingbing said.

With Fan Bingbing's response, the conflict between the two was officially exposed and became a hot topic for the media.

Li Qiutang put the rumor aside and watched the two women quarreling.

He doesn't care!
From a marketing perspective, this is great marketing!

As long as it is not an actor scandal and does not affect ticket sales, Li Qiutang hopes that the actors will do their best. Why did she invite Fan Bingbing? !
On the 2nd, "No One in My Eyes" premiered in Shanghai.

This is also the first time that Fan Bingbing and Huo Siyan have been on the same stage since the premiere in Beijing. It is impossible to see hair pulling on the stage. Huo Siyan shared her feelings about the filming on the stage, saying: "I really learned a lot from working with Director Qiu Tang. He gave us a lot of creative space and a lot of improvisation on the spot."

But when it was Fan Bingbing's turn to speak, she said: "It was not easy to work with Director Li Qiutang, because he did a very good job of preparation, and he knew exactly what effect he wanted, so there was much less room for us to play freely."

The two people said completely opposite things!

Li Qiutang, Zhao Wenzhuo and Huang Xiaoming did not get involved in the topic of the two women. The host also realized the tension between the two women and did not lead the topic to them.

I don't know where the information came from, but the host suddenly said, "I heard that Director Qiu Tang has very high requirements in the crew. If you can't meet his requirements, he will scold you. Has anyone of you been scolded by him?"

All four actors raised their hands.

"Ah? He's scolded me before. Director, what do you think?"

Li Qiutang was very surprised and asked, "Did I scold you? Why don't I remember it?"

Huang Xiaoming said to Li Qiutang: "You are turning your back on your words." Then he said: "The director scolded me on my first scene after I joined the crew." Then he imitated Li Qiutang's behavior: "How come you can't act this well? You have acted in so many scenes in vain." The swear words were automatically deleted by Huang Xiaoming.

Fan Bingbing also said that he took three days to shoot the fight scene and was scolded by the director for three days.

The host asked Fan Bingbing in surprise: "How dare he scold you?"

"I'm so sorry. The director has no sympathy for women at all." Fan Bingbing said with a smile.

Li Qiutang was thick-skinned and didn't care at all. He just smiled and covered it up.

At the end of the premiere, producer Wang Zhonglei made a box office prediction for the film: "I don't care how much, but I want to win and make a good start for our Huayi this year!" Li Qiutang is not afraid, and he has no reason to be afraid.

In the interview after the premiere, Li Qiutang not only talked about "No One in My Eyes", but also revealed a little bit about the adaptation progress of "The Sound of Wind":

"It's been almost a month since we got the copyright. In fact, there was a draft of the script, but we rejected it."

I'm talking about the interview-style script that Li Qiutang and Huang Jianxin worked on together. Halfway through writing it, they realized that the interview style required jumping in and out of the main story, and this kind of jumping in and out would seriously affect the atmosphere of the story in "The Sound of Wind."

Then this draft was rejected by Director Han and Chen Guofu, and finally everyone decided to adapt "The Sound of Wind" according to normal narrative techniques.

On the same day, the crew of Resurrection of the Dragon also held a premiere in Beijing. At the premiere, Liu Dehua, perhaps sensing the anger of netizens over the flying saucer hat, asked reporters to show some mercy: "I hope you won't make it sound worthless."

The director naturally refused to admit it.

Both films will be released in theaters nationwide the next day.
