Section 56: Premiere
June 26, Lumière International Film City
Du An was chatting with Li Qian, next to it was a series of creators of the crew of "The Pretty Beauty": producer Shu Yu, heroine Zhu Qian, and Liu Peiqi... They were all sitting in dispersed, some asked someone to talk to relieve the tension in their hearts, and some closed their eyes to rest, showing a different kind of coldness than usual.
This is the lounge at Lumière Cinema. "The Pretty Beauty" is finally scheduled to be released nationwide on July 2nd, and today is the premiere - this is something Shu Yu insists on doing.
“…Is there anything wrong with me wearing today?”
Li Qian looked very nervous and looked around her body from time to time, afraid that there would be any stains in her clothes. "This is the first time I attended the premiere..."
Du An comforted her: "It's pretty good, don't be nervous, I just show it on stage, and the audience below won't eat you."
Li Qian still couldn't help but be nervous, "What about so many media!"
So much media?
Du'an didn't agree.
The movie "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" has never been favored, especially at this moment, which has been hit by the anticipated rising stars like "Peacock" and heavyweight blockbusters like "Kung Fu", which have completely snatched the limelight by these two films. Even if Xiaoma Film and Television does its best, the number of media that can come today is limited.
As the two were talking, the door opened, and a man walked in slowly with heavy steps. Although he was dressed brightly, he was dejected.
Duane looked over and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
The person who came in was Ning Hao.
Ning Hao slowly raised his lowered head and saw that his hair was combed up and shaped. His already high hairline now looks even higher. With his face, he feels particularly funny. He looks in pain and his tone is hopeless, "Director Du, I think Chen Yuxin must have a grudge against me..." His eyes were dim and desperate.
"Didn't I tell you that you are not handsome at first, do you still have to go to the handsome way?"
Chen Yuxin followed him in, carrying a small makeup box, and patted Ning Hao disdainfully, "Will your image be highlighted immediately after I touched this way? Instead of working hard on what I am not good at, it is better to use my own strengths."
However, her theory was obviously not acceptable to Ning Hao - this guy kept staring at her. If his eyes could kill people, Chen Yuxin had been sliced.
Ning Hao's arrival injected vitality into the lounge. After talking and laughing, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Not long after, the premiere finally began.
Lumière International Cinema is the largest hall, and DreamWorks also took it as the premiere. The group went in first to sit down and wait for the media and audience to enter.
Duan sat in the middle of the first row, with Zhu Qian on the left and Shu Yu on the right. He looked at Zhu Qian. Zhu Qian noticed his gaze, turned her head and gave him a smile, and looked at Shu Yu again - uh, Shu Yu didn't even have any birds, he just stared at the screen, so Duan also looked at the screen, but couldn't see that there was nothing good about the dark screen. But his thoughts flew back to more than half a year ago.
At that time, "Saw" was released nationwide. He saw his movies in the cinema for the first time, and it was also at Lumier International Cinema.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.
Zhu Qian was probably a little nervous or bored, so she found a topic to ask Du An: "Director Du, your "Saw" was also released here, right?"
"Um,"
Duane nodded, "But it's not this hall, nor this time."
Zhu Qian had almost separated from the filming stage. Nearly half a year has passed, and Du An could see that she had completely abandoned the previous haze, which also allowed him to communicate with her with peace of mind.
Zhu Qian said again: "Then this is still your blessed land. "Saw" takes off here. I hope this blessed land can play a role again this time."
Du An smiled bitterly: Zhu Qian has placed her hopes on the unknown so-called "blessed land", which shows how unconfidence she has in this movie. And a heroine thinks so, I believe this is also the voice of most crew members.
But let alone Zhu Qian, he himself doesn’t have much confidence - one billion box office or something. He can brag very casually and naturally, but it is very difficult to really do it. After all, when "Saw" multi-dimensional marketing only reached 500 million box office, it was still without heavyweight blockbusters and his biggest rival was just "Can't Forget".
Now there are many rivals in "The Pretty Beauty". Not to mention the other ones, the single highly anticipated "Kung Fu" is an insurmountable mountain.
But it’s useless to think about this now. I have done everything I can. Do my best to know my destiny.
Even if it is bad, there is no problem in recovering the cost, right?
The media slowly entered the venue, and the audience also came in one after another. When the time was almost over, the host came on stage. After a long and whispered introduction, the main creators were invited to the stage collectively and stood in a row. At first glance, it seemed like they were holding a criticism and controversy conference, but they almost hung a sign on their chest.
After standing firmly on the stage, Du An's heart was chilling when he looked at the audience.
It was worse than he expected.
There are 600 seats in Hall 1, and now there are only a little more than half of them. Judging from the number of long guns and short mirrors, the media has not come many times, just like five or six.
I have never heard that tickets for the premiere are difficult to grab, and they need to be related to it. The tickets for the premiere of "The Pretty Beauty" are still sold out directly. How miserable is this?
It is said that this host was invited from Nanyang Education Channel, but he had the ability. He had just watched it for a long time, but he couldn't see any embarrassment on this guy's face. Faced with this premiere that could be described as "cold and quiet", this guy was enthusiastic and like a host of the Huabiao Awards, and he was also professional.
Du An listened with a smile as the host grabbed Shu Yu and asked some brain-dead questions that had been rehearsed, while thinking in his mind: It seems that the publicity plan has not achieved any results. Could it be that success can only be achieved by a little accumulation of reputation and the self-dissemination of the audience slowly boost the box office?
"...This is really not easy. I heard that there were many difficulties during the shooting. I believe the audience must be very interested in this. I wonder if I can say it?"
The host has already changed his goal from Shu Yu to Zhu Qian. Facing the host's question, Zhu Qian smiled and said the rehearsed words: "Of course. Well, how to say it?... Take the outdoor location in Hengdian for example..."
According to the order of rehearsals, Duane, the director and starring, is the final conversation, playing a finale, so he is very idle now and has time to think about his own affairs.
Just as he was thinking, the hall door suddenly shone through and opened, and the sudden light attracted Duane's attention.
Then he saw a woman with short hair and thin legs bent over and walked carefully from the entrance of the hall, and walked to the third row to stop, and opened her mouth with the person outside the third row, probably saying sorry. Several people outside the third row shrank their bodies and legs to facilitate her to pass. The woman smiled and opened her mouth again, probably saying thanks, and then she was going to go in through this passage, but she seemed to notice someone looking at her, and subconsciously looked around and looked around, and finally her eyes fixed on Du An on the stage, and she stopped there and forgot to go in.
Lightning and thunder, firelight
Duane looked at her, and she looked at Duane, and the two of them looked like solidified sculptures.
Duane has a quirk: the more nervous he is, the faster his brain turns, and the speed of his brain is probably at the level of an electronic computer.
"Chance."
He didn't turn his head and said this to Shu Yu next to him in an almost inauspicious voice, and then suddenly walked forward and walked out of the queue.
This sudden scene stunned everyone in Hall 1. The media, audience, and even the main creators of the movie all focused their attention, and the host was stunned: Have you rehearsed this scene? What kind of scene is this?
Duane walked to the edge of the stage with a steady and fast pace, jumped down suddenly, and walked steadily to the woman with everyone's attention, without looking around the whole process.
Now the distance between him and this woman is about one meter, and the woman has stood up straight and looked at him quietly.
At this moment, everyone's eyes in Hall 1 were gathered here. If they had a look and warmth, they had been burned into a pile of ashes. The media with a keen sense of smell were as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. They screamed in their hearts and raised their cameras, and kept taking pictures of them.
Duane smiled at her, "Can I get to know you?"
Because of the premiere, Duane was dressed up again today, and he has not yet pretended to be old. He is less steady than the image of Diamond Prince Wu in "The Pretty Beauty" and two more points of ease. It is a young version of Prince Charming template.
It was already good, but such a romantic plot appeared in life. The female audience in her twenties who were leaning against the third row looked red and looked like she could not help but push the woman in front of Du An and pounce on her. The gossip audience had long been unable to help it. Some of them were far away and stood up, and some even stood on a chair, stretched their necks to look here.
"Su Jin."
The woman in front of her spit out two words.
Village bus stop, the daughter of the three fat men, Su Jin...
Duane's head was dizzy.
Life is indeed more bizarre than movies.
"Can I invite you a cup of coffee?"
Su Jin turned her head and looked at it: Her friend was standing in her seat and watching here, with a blazing gossip fire burning in her eyes, obviously she was not interested in saving her. Look around: everyone was looking at them, and the flashes on the media's cameras were flashing non-stop.
Obviously I can't watch this movie anymore.
Duane treated her actions as if she wanted to watch a movie but didn't want to leave, so she simply said: "There is nothing good to watch in this movie."
This sentence even injected 98% concentrated sulfuric acid into the blood of the media, which was already injected with chicken blood, and the whole thing was burned: the director and starring of a movie slandered his movie in public in order to pursue the girl, claiming that "there is nothing good to watch in this movie"!
This is so explosive! Who has done it for decades!
Tomorrow's headlines are perfect.
"All right."
Su Jin had no choice but to agree.
She really can't continue to stay here anymore.
Du An made a gesture of invitation, and then slowly left with Su Jin, walked to the entrance of the hall, opened the door, and the light poured in, went out, closed the door, and blocked the light.
The media, audience, and the main creators of the film were still focused on the hall door, as if the hall door would open the next moment and the two of them would come back.
But everyone knows that it is impossible.
