Chapter 1,788 Is the spring of online movies coming?(1/2)
Li Yi wanted to make a major online movie, so he naturally contacted relevant platforms and the organizing committee of the Chinese Online Movie Festival.
Therefore, the publicity has already started.
As for this matter, it quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet because Li Yi, a great director, went to make a major online movie and lowered his status.
"No? Real or fake?"
"What's your rank as a dog director? Are you going to be a movie star?"
"Isn't it a gimmick?"
"It shouldn't be the case. Several major video platforms have promoted it at the same time, and the movie's name has been "Sniper Phone Booth", so it should be real!"
"The big dogs on the Internet don't even look at it. What's going on with the dog director?"
"Anyway, it's a movie directed by Li Yi. Regardless of whether it's an online movie or a theatrical movie, it's worth looking forward to. Director Gou has never disappointed!"
"By the way, the name of this movie is a bit special, sniper phone booth? Action gunfight movie?"
"Are you crazy? An action and gunfight movie is going to be released in online theaters?"
In fact, many people in the mainstream film circle can't understand this matter, because Internet majors are really at the bottom of the contempt chain. It can even be said that directors who make major Internet movies are not recognized by the mainstream film director circle.
.
It is not an exaggeration to say that online movies and theater movies are really two parallel lines.
Because the overlap between audience groups is really very low, followed by actors, directors, and screenwriters, they are also two groups of people.
Even the new reserve actors in the academy rarely choose to act in big networks.
It can be said that there is a clear distinction between Jing and Wei.
Soon, the poster of "Sniper Phone Booth" appeared on the homepage recommendations of major film and television platforms, and even on pop-up recommendation ads.
It can be said that it is enough to make those big Internet movie directors want to replace it after seeing it.
In recent years, the promotion of major online movies is really lackluster. Not to mention the four major platforms, it is a single platform. The publicity resources provided are at most an advertisement on the classified page. Unlike Li Yi's movies, it is directly available on the four major platforms.
It’s a pop-up ad, and it’s recommended by the homepage banner.
The movie hasn't even finished filming yet, and the trailer hasn't even been released yet.
All everyone can see is a poster - in a small phone booth, a man answers the phone in a panic.
The first Chinese director's new film "Sniper Phone Booth"! There is also a new film reservation button below, with a countdown of seven days.
This is of course not the first time that the four major film and television platforms have cooperated, but they have never spared no effort like this.
The popularity of Li Yi's new film has not made their publicity resources in vain. In fact, if it were a theatrical movie, it would not be possible to obtain such amazing resources without spending tens of millions.
.
"Sniper Phone Booth" has actually been completed and is currently in post-production.
After the "Sniper Phone Booth" advertisement went online, the number of reservations exceeded 10 million in just two days!
In fact, there are usually several box office statistics for major online movies. The most common one is paid on-demand, which is generally 10 yuan for non-members and half price for members.
But for Li Yi's movie "Sniper Phone Booth", several major platforms are engaged in such a big battle. In addition, this is Li Yi's movie, so the ticket price is higher, directly 20 yuan for non-members and 10 yuan for members.
, doubled.
There are still a lot of viewers watching online movies. The box office of the highest online movie can exceed 50 million. If one effective click is 5 yuan, the number of movie viewers exceeds 10 million.
So, from this aspect, it seems that there are really many audiences for online movies.
This is not a click generated by swiping. A valid click costs 5 yuan. If it were easy to swipe, the website would have been poached long ago.
With 3 days left in the countdown, the trailer of "Sniper Phone Booth" is officially released.
At this time, the number of reservations has exceeded 20 million.
Li Yi is actually a little curious about the online box office of "Sniper Phone Booth".
Mainly out of curiosity, what is the potential of online movie theaters? After all, he has never played one!
Of course, his "Sniper Phone Booth" is actually not easy to use as a reference, because the publicity and distribution resources are so powerful that even for his own theatrical movies, sometimes it is difficult to obtain such top-notch resources. After all, his own
For theater movies, most of the time, it costs money to obtain such resources.
And this time it’s really free of charge!
Naturally, it is impossible for other online movies to receive such resources and such treatment, so it is indeed not of reference.
But you can really see how big the potential is.
Zhou Ming is a big fan of Li Yi. It can be said that he has almost never missed one of Li Yi's movies.
To be honest, he couldn't quite understand Li Yi's decision to film a major online movie this time. After all, this was really a sign of lowering his status!
What is a big online movie?
Because Li Yi's "Sniper Phone Booth" was about to be released these days, he made a special trip to watch it.
As a result, his eyes were almost blinded. What the hell is this?
Zombie movies, ghost movies, blockbuster movies, bloody horror movies... erotic movies.
For a senior movie fan like him who is used to watching theater movies, these movies are really unpalatable!
In particular, he tried to watch a few relatively popular Internet movies, but then he was completely disappointed with the Internet movies, and it was even more difficult for him to understand why Li Yi wanted to make a major Internet movie.
I am puzzled!
It can only be attributed to the fact that Li Yi was forced, otherwise with Li Yi's status, why bother?
It's not necessary at all!
However, finally, the trailer of "Sniper Phone Booth" is online!
He quickly clicked on the link.
The picture shows a man answering the phone in a phone booth.
He immediately recognized this man as Lin Junrong, the popular Hong Kong actor.
There was a deep male voice on the phone, "Hello, this is really interesting."
"When you hear the phone ringing, it might be someone else's phone, but you still can't help but pick it up, right?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the trailer, the footage is of course not complete, but a short clip taken from each lens and edited into a fast-paced short film.
"Who are you anyway?"
"Don't think about hanging up the phone. I originally wanted to give you a takeaway so that you can have the energy to deal with what's going to happen next."
"I'm going to hang up the phone next, this joke is not funny at all!"
"No, you won't!"
"Who are you?"
"If you want to know, you can look around. There are hundreds of windows around."
"You're scratching your head now."
The pace of the trailer is very fast, and through the fast-cut dialogue, you can actually get a rough idea of what the plot is going to be about.
"Call your wife and tell her about you and Lili."
"As long as you say a word, he won't bother you anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound, and the chicken-headed gangster who wanted to snatch the protagonist's phone was shot to death and his body was found on the spot.
After a close-up of Lin Junrong's frightened expression, the scene turned to reveal that the male protagonist he played was surrounded by the police.
"I am Chief Inspector Huang Qifa of the Crime Unit..."
Seeing this familiar speech, Zhou Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This was also deliberately arranged by Li Yi. It is just a joke. I believe that viewers who have watched Li Yi's "Dark War" will be very familiar with it.
In the picture, Lin Junrong was on the verge of collapse at this moment. He sprayed several rude greetings into the phone. Then the picture switched, and he suddenly took out a pistol from the top of the phone booth and rushed out of the phone booth crazily.
, holding the pistol high, shouting crazily: "Come on, step on the horse and shoot! Come on! You son of a bitch, shoot!"
The expression on his face became extremely ferocious.
But before he could finish speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
The scene of him holding the pistol high suddenly froze, and then he lay straight on the ground.
The trailer ends here, and the title ""Sniper Phone Booth"" appears in the screen!
Works directed by Li Yi!
The last thing that appeared was this Li Yi signboard, which made Zhou Ming couldn't help but smile.
"As expected of Li Yi, worthy of being a dog director, you are a real dog!"
Although it was only a trailer, and although it was short, it was enough for him to understand what the story of the movie was about to be.
He had also speculated before about what kind of movie Li Yi would make this time.
