Chapter 353 Filming Continues (14)

The director of "Finding Mr. Right" approached Han Yan.

Director Han Yan is particularly good at evoking emotions…

The kind of thing where people slap each other anywhere, big or small...

But you know what? The audience actually fell for it!
His films are blatantly contrived, clichéd, and sentimental; *Go Away Mr. Tumor* and *Little Red Flower* are typical examples. *Go Away Mr. Tumor* forces a lighthearted tone, while *Little Red Flower* borrows heavily from *Starship Troubles*.

Including the film "Major Events in Life," which he produced, it's clearly following Han Yan's lead...

Using melodramatic storylines to elicit tears...

They even came up with a set of commercial secrets for drama films: accumulating emotional density within a narrow time and space, which is to tickle the audience's "itch," and this is very effective!

But if this becomes a formula, the audience will easily get tired of it.

Han Yan is a prime example of this, and later he created "I Love You," which has an even higher emotional density than many commercial blockbusters.
Some directors have also produced works such as "The Brilliant Girl" and "A Small Shop by the Clouds".

It became an assembly line.

In recent years, there have been more and more works of this kind, and the audience's appreciation threshold has reached its limit!

Director Liu Jiangjiang's "Safe Travel" is similar...

It's a pity Liu Jiangjiang is so incompetent!
It kills off all the prisoners who helped with the rescue, thus making the plot more palatable, but the commercial touches are too heavy, making "Safe Travels" a film with a strong genre but weak emotional expression and a patriotic tone...

Naturally, no one is optimistic about this type of movie.

As an aside, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" is truly a tearjerker. It's so tear-jerking that the film's professional level becomes almost irrelevant.

In short, Han Yan is actually quite suitable to direct "Finding Mr. Right"...

This movie itself requires a lot of strong emotions to drive the plot...

Moreover, Han Yan is quite adept at discovering actors' acting skills—according to Shi Shi, he makes the actors rehearse several times before filming almost every scene…

Shooting like this will definitely lengthen the shooting period...

"It doesn't matter," Shen Yan waved his hand and directly extended the filming period by ten days!

The cost will increase by a maximum of 200 million, which Shen Yan can afford.

……

On May 25th, Men in Black 3 was released, finally breaking the reign of The Avengers at the top of the box office. That's right, The Avengers had held the number one spot for 20 consecutive days.

The film's total box office reached 4.96 million.

Good news: We finally have a movie that breaks Hollywood's monopoly;
Bad news: Damn it, it's another Hollywood blockbuster!

What's even more embarrassing is that afterwards came Martin Scorsese's *Hugo*, Julia Roberts' *Mirror Mirror*, *The Pirates! Band of Misfits*, *Madagascar 3*, *The Hunger Games*...

Queuing up for screenings!

It is foreseeable that domestic films will suffer a complete defeat…

In fact, many Chinese-language films were released during this period, such as "Seediq Bale" and "Floating City"...

Including "The Next Miracle," starring Qin Hao and featuring Liu Shishi...

"Motorway," co-directed by Yau Tat-chi and Cheng Po-shui, stars Huang Chiu-sheng, Shawn Yue, and Barbie Hsu.

Useless.

The highest-grossing film was "Motorway," which grossed over 2300 million.

The most aggressively marketed film was *Seediq Bale*, which enlisted a host of celebrities to help with its promotion. Chen Kuo-fu praised *Seediq Bale* extensively, saying, "There are two types of films I can't make: one is Feng Xiaogang's comedy, and the other is a film like *Seediq Bale*. This is a blockbuster with soul!"

Before its release, everyone who watched the movie knew that director Wei Te-sheng had sold his house and borrowed a lot of money to fund "Seediq Bale"... It was all a marketing ploy!
"To produce 'Seediq Bale,' De Sheng Jie borrowed 4000 million from Zhou Jielun!"

"When Wei Te-sheng was filming 'Seediq Bale,' the budget was so tight that sometimes they didn't even have money to buy bullets, and the actors had to fire blanks!"

What a pitiful director…

Then, the box office didn't even reach 1500 million!
Then many people went on a rampage against the film market, saying things like, "The mainland market doesn't deserve 'Seediq Bale,'" and "By the way, Zhang Yimou is being criticized for being so unfair. Why can Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige get investment to make bad movies, while Wei Te-sheng doesn't have the money to make 'Seediq Bale'?"

No, when did a Taiwanese director who has only made a few films and whose most prestigious award is the Golden Horse Award become able to easily suppress Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige just because he is a niche and art-house director?
As for "The Next Miracle," it's a stupid commercial film!
The person promoting pyramid schemes is based on a self-proclaimed "Asia's Top Super Speaker" and "Success Master"...

Damn it, Cai Yinong is out of his mind to let Shi Shi make this kind of film...

This movie was given the cold shoulder...

By the way, "The Telephone" has finished its theatrical run, with a cumulative box office of 3.82 million yuan. After revenue sharing, Spark Studio's earnings exceeded 100 million yuan...

They made a fortune!
However, the company has not made any statement. They plan to release four films this year, followed by "The Criminal," "The Big Shot," and "Sheep Without a Shepherd"...

No rush...

Oh, the cast and crew of "My Love from the Star" are back in Shanghai...

……

Now we're filming scenes where emotions build up...

Cheon Song-yi angrily confronts Do Min-joon for being selfish, but Do Min-joon uses his superpowers to create romance!
Jing Tian's lines flowed smoothly: "Protect me? Protect me of what?"

"Do Min-joon, do you think it's fun to make someone's heart race? After stirring up all that trouble, you say things like 'Sorry you misunderstood,' or 'Because you look a lot like your ex-girlfriend,' making people feel like fools..."

"Didn't you say you didn't like me? You never had feelings for me, never imagined a future with me..."

As she delivered her lines, Jing Tian burst into tears, but she didn't wipe them away. She continued, "I hate Do Min-joon so much right now. Please disappear from my sight... no, disappear from my life. You are such a selfish person! Get out!"

Do Min-joon, oh, that is, Shen Yan didn't say anything...

She closed her eyes, then opened them. The surrounding lights blazed on, and Jing Tian opened her mouth wide—she too had been controlled and was involuntarily flying towards Shen Yan…

Shen Yan hugged her, and Jing Tian was a little flustered: "...What do you want to do?"

"...I..." Shen Yan stared at her: "I don't want to say it, but I've fallen for you, and I can't deceive myself..."

A domineering kiss…

It's basically just the mouths touching, then the frame freezes because the surrounding camera rotates 360 degrees...

The 360-degree rotation combined with romantic background music is the default shot for a kiss.

Therefore, it feels very strange that Huang Xiaoming and Huang Rong have a 360-degree rotating shot in "The Return of the Condor Heroes"!

It seemed as if Yang Guo was about to kiss Huang Rong any second...

Therefore, many people criticize Huang Xiaoming's portrayal of Yang Guo, feeling that he has strange feelings for Kong Lin's portrayal of Huang Rong.

I feel that's right!
There's a problem with the camera movement.

Oh, back to the plot, after a three-second kiss, Shen Yan collapsed onto Jing Tian…

Jing Tian was surprised: "Again?"

I could only manage to drag him into the car with difficulty, while muttering, "Aren't you an alien? Your superpowers are so amazing, are they just for show? You fall over after just one kiss?"

"Click... That feels great!"

Sha Weiqi clapped her hands, and then Jing Tian asked, "Can't Do Min-joon and Cheon Song-yi make love?"
