This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 712 "Little Forest" is released (asking for monthly tickets)
"Yes, after watching the sample film, I was always surprised. Oh, is this me? The feeling of looking at a stranger," An Xiaoxi said mysteriously, "Speaking of this, Director Hao specially asked someone to learn it."

"Do I need to learn this?" Li Jing cooperated very well.

"Of course, for their directors, making women look good is a skill." An Xiaoxi chatted very easily.

"Hao Yun, who did you learn this from? Why did you think of learning this?" Li Jing did not forget to interact with Hao Yun. Although she avoided the vital points with every blow, she was actually not too far away from them, and was always ready to take advantage of any opportunity.

"I have a lot of 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, so I basically learn from the directors I have met." Hao Yun told the truth.

But he was met with boos in response.

The reputation of a talented director has spread abroad, and you actually say that he has no talent.

It's simply shameless.

"Who do you think has the greatest influence on you?"

"Of course it's Jiang Wen!"

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

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

But when it came to Whiplash, he felt that Hao Yun had learned enough, so he changed his visit to once in a while, but it still took more than ten days in total.

When people watch Hao Yun's movies, they can always see some traces of Jiang Wen.

Hao Yun never shy away from talking about Jiang Wen.

Zheng Banqiao once carved a seal for himself with the words "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 label himself as "Jiang Wen's running dog", his attitude was not bad at all.

When an incompetent person tries to curry favor with someone, it's called fawning on the powerful; when a capable person pays tribute to you, it's a story that people talk about with relish.

"It seems like you and Jiang Wen have a very good relationship. Your Little Forest will be released on August 8, and Jiang Wen's The Sun Also Rises will be released on September 19. Are you deliberately avoiding each other?"

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

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

The audience below the stage started to boo.

What everyone likes to see most is quarreling, and the confrontation between master and apprentice is even more interesting.

"It seems like you are confident that you can beat Jiang Wen at the box office?" Li Jing enjoyed watching the fun.

"... Adding the four parts together should be no problem!" Hao Yun said slowly.

The audience laughed so hard.

What a brave and cowardly person.

I didn’t expect that the talented director Hao Yun also has such a lovely side, which cannot be seen on the screen.

"It's a pity that Jiang Wen didn't have a cameo appearance in this movie. Why didn't you think of asking Jiang Wen to make a cameo appearance at the time?" Li Jing asked, trying not to laugh.

"That's impossible. If he appears, it won't be "Little Forest" anymore. It will definitely be "West Mountain Bandit Suppression"."

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 gets some popularity.

If it was a Hong Kong media headline, it would definitely be something like "Hao Yun betrayed his teacher and destroyed his ancestors", which would definitely be explosive enough.

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

There are also many scenes of diving in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

But that is ancient costume, and it definitely feels different from modern clothes.

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

What impressed everyone the most was probably the exposure of her shoulders in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", but the style at that time was too pure to arouse any thoughts.

"No, no, I was just catching shrimps in the stream!"

An Xiaoxi hurriedly said that she didn't dare to swim 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.

However, Hao Yun often went to the lake to swim and could dive far away.

I don’t know why, but An Xiaoxi kind of missed life in Quanshang Village. They haven’t been there for half a year, and I don’t know if the houses there have collapsed (?).

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

I don’t know if Izumikami Village can make some money from this traffic.

For example, selling some wine and beverages, opening a farm stay or something like that.

August 8th is the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day, which is just one week away from An Xiaoxi's birthday. When An Xiaoxi's birthday comes, the movie is just in theaters.

The reason why the film was chosen to be released on this day may be that someone has some hidden thoughts.

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

Because I really have no money.

The budget of six million was spent cleanly, and the post-production of the four films was a considerable expense.

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 promoting people.

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

It’s just that when promoting this movie, "Little Forest" was mentioned as well.

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 so many movies and TV series about the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and spy wars that 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 a project that is promoted desperately is not as popular as a project that is not promoted.

On August 8, Van Loon's "Rush Hour 10" was released on Miguo and topped the North American box office chart with $3 million in its first week.

On August 8, the song "Moving Heaven and Earth" became a hit. I moved heaven and earth, so how could I not move you?

Those who hear it are sad and those who hear it cry.

On August 8, Zhang Jingchu was photographed by reporters having dinner and shopping with director Zhang Jiarui. The atmosphere was quite warm and their suspected relationship was exposed.

August is so lively, but nothing can compare to the release of "Little Forest" on August 8th.

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

It’s already been released, so it shouldn’t be called a trailer.

It can be said to be a promotional film.

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

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

Then there's the music.

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

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

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

This led to a group of young literary and artistic people spontaneously promoting "Little Forest".

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

Although the production cost is not high - mainly because An Xiaoxi starred in the film for free, and Hao Yun directed and starred in the film for free, otherwise the production cost would definitely be more than 10 million - but all major theaters have attached enough importance to it.

Hao Yun did say that the movie might not be a box office success.

But his credibility has dropped to zero, and no one cares about his judgment anymore.

Even though there were many popular movies such as "Transformers", "Harry Potter", "Doraemon", "Secret", "Flash Point" and so on in the same period, the theaters also scheduled enough screenings.

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

Anyway, you can reduce the screening schedule at any time. It’s not too late to reduce it when the market proves that it is not good.

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

Even the movie theater’s speakers were playing "Night, Fireflies, and You."

If you don't take it seriously, it's ok for us in the cinema to take it seriously ourselves.

Two hours later, the audience gradually walked out of the cinema. Some hurried to the toilet, while others excitedly chatted with their companions about the movie.

"I said this movie couldn't be bad. It's a movie written and directed by Hao Yun, and it's a collaboration between Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi. How could it be bad..."

“There really isn’t any plot.”

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

"Now that you mention it, it's true. The simplicity of the plot of this movie is its advantage."

The two boys were walking and chatting.

"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 strike up a conversation with them.

One of the boys was about to deny it and said that they were fans of Hao Yun's movies, but before he could say anything, he was nudged by his companion's elbow.

His companion said devoutly: "Yes, we are Xixi's fans, could it be that you..."

"Yes, us too. Xixi is so pretty, and Hao Yun is such a good photographer. Oh my god, she is even more beautiful than in the trailer..." One of the girls seemed to have found a similar girl and couldn't help but share.

"Yeah, my buddy and I are planning to make a wallpaper for our computer desktop..." The boy was very talkative.

"Can you do it?" The girls also became interested.

"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 fans or movie buffs.

After watching the movie, they were full of ideas for discussion and sharing, and some even had a lively chat in real life.

Some people post what they want to express online.

Some professional film critics even bought their tickets early.

Some people even start thinking about how to write a film review while sitting in the cinema.
