Newsdirectory

On January 30, the comedy film “Galaxy Writers” released the final trailer “Revised Billions of Times” and the final poster “Undecided”, officially announcing that it will be released nationwide on March 30. It is directed the film by Li Kuo and Shan Dandan, written by Shan Dandan, Li Kuo and Gao Qun, and stars Song Muzi, He Wenjun and Li Fei.


The trailer is full of comedy and the “Three Dogs” hilariously restores the plight of the Party B screenwriter.


The final trailer is from the perspective of two young screenwriters. New screenwriters Zhang Yi (played by Song Muzi) and Sun Tan (played by He Wenjun) wrote an original movie script “Seven Seconds Man” that they thought could go to down in history. With the help of a group of friends, they started looking for investors and producers in an attempt to put the script on the big screen. From then on, they embarked on a ridiculous “dream search” journey. “All-star lineup, classic film history, box office of 5 billion”, their ideals are very full, but the practical dilemma that Party B screenwriters will always face is that they cannot meet Party’s increasingly outrageous new needs A.


“The changes are not big, don’t be too cliche, it’s almost meaningless, oh no…” When these views came to Zhang Yi and Sun Tan, they changed from their high morale on the start to collapse their thinking. On the surface, screenwriters are freelancers, but in reality they must be ready to revise the draft at any time. On the surface, Party A promises to revise the final draft, but Party B always faces unrecognizable revisions. These common troubles at work are all familiar to netizens. In addition to mocking the real tragedy of migrant workers in the world of film and television, “Galaxy Writer” also highlights the aspirations of all Party B, making people laugh to the point of breaking their guard. Where will Zhang Yi and Sun Tan’s screenwriting careers end? Under the tone of the humorous narrative, the trailer also leaves the audience in suspense, waiting for everyone to go to the theater to find out.


In the final poster released together, Song Muzi and He Wenjun were overwhelmed by piles of script review documents. Version after version of revisionist opinion falls on Party B like a mountain. The OK gesture shown by Li Fei on the computer is the expression most often used by Party B. Every time he says “OK, no problem”, he has to swallow the bitterness behind it. The green screen glitch effect in the background shows that many people often get into trouble on the way to follow their dreams and are unable to live a normal life. And the sentence “Don’t rely on talent to make a living” is an internal self-deprecation that every Party B has had.


The new comedy received much praise at the film festival and received many surprises and praise. Directors Li Kuo and Shan Dandan once said that the original intention of creating “Galaxy Writer” was to make a good-looking and funny story so that the audience can relieve their pressure in the theater and sympathize with the experiences of film and television migrant workers. of joy and hardship. They teamed up with screenwriter Gao Qun to integrate their real life as a screenwriter and industry phenomena they see every day into the film, and combine absurd reality with funny jokes to create this new comedy that sufficiently new in terms of form and expression.


“Galaxy Writer” was screened at the “Domestic New Film Showcase” of the 2023 Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers China Film Festival in November last year, and was highly praised by film critics on the site as “a work that can be chosen for the ten best Chinese film of the year.” Many viewers also expressed their laughter while watching the film and their feelings of empathy after watching the film on online platforms – “The director plays a very new kind of comedy”, “Whether you whether you are a filmmaker or a worker, the process of watching “I’m sure everyone will cry and laugh at the same time.” “This is a screenwriter’s survival guide, and it’s also a survival apocalypse for modern Party B workers!” The film is due to be released on March 30, which also surprises fans to finally see it on the big screen. This new comedy is getting a lot of buzz.
