Chapter 247 Grand Premiere

On the evening of February 2, there were almost one-sided bad reviews on the Internet. The movie was too dull and the audience felt that it was not good to watch. The box office was only 30,000 yuan. It is estimated that it would be only about 60,000 yuan in the end, and even the promotional fee could not be made back!

"I don't have any opinions and don't care." Zhang Ran looked at the reporter who asked the question calmly and smiled. "As for the box office of "The Breaking Drummer" is really hard to predict. If this can be predicted correctly, there will not be so many movies that will be lost every year. If I want to say hope, I hope I can win the Spring Festival championship!"

"Champion!" The reporter was stunned and then smiled, "The box office of "Harry Potter and the Room of Secret" will definitely exceed 50,000. Then "The Breaking Drummer" will have to win 50,000 to win the championship. It seems that Director Zhang is very confident in the box office of the movie!"

Zhang Ran was not afraid of being slapped in the face. The sky fell and there was a tall man holding him over. Chen Jiashang shouted "Box office 100 million", so what's there to be afraid of? He looked at the reporter and said with a smile: "Of course, no matter how ugly your child is, he is the most beautiful in the eyes of his parents. My child won a grand prize in foreign countries, and he is definitely excellent! Besides, there is also Jielun, he is a box office elixir!"

The reporters all looked at each other and laughed. They all thought Zhang Ran was joking. Although Jay Chou was very popular, it was his first time acting in a movie, which was completely unknown. How could it be called a box office elixir!

After answering a few questions, Zhang Ran took the crew members to the cinema. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Jingchu, what's wrong with you? I think you don't seem to be in a high mood!"

"No, I'm very happy!" Zhang Jingchu smiled brightly at Zhang Ran, and then asked softly. "Zhang Ran, why did you choose to premiere today?"

Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Jingchu and said, "Because today is Friday, the box office data will be better on Friday, which will be easier to promote. You have asked this question several times, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Zhang Jingchu's eyes were a little dim, but her face was still pretending to be happy: "No, I read the newspaper and said that our movie was released in a hurry. We should not choose a schedule, but should have been postponed for a few days. I thought there was something special about it!"

Zhang Jingchu sighed quietly in her heart, today is my birthday, but you forgot! Last year, when everyone celebrated her birthday to an actor in the crew, Zhang Ran told her that she would celebrate her birthday together in the New Year. She has always been looking forward to this. Of course, she knew that Zhang Ran was very busy recently, day and night, and she didn't mean to blame Zhang Ran. She just forgot about it, and she still felt a little sad.

Zhang Ran turned to look at Zhang Jingchu and said, "I feel something is wrong with you today. If you have anything, you must tell me!"

Zhang Jingchu cheered up and smiled and said, "What can I do? No, I'm just a little nervous, worried that the box office will be bad!"

Zhang Ran smiled and comforted: "It won't be a problem, the box office will definitely not be too bad, because this movie resonates too much for domestic audiences!"

Zhang Ran and the others entered the venue to put an end to the red carpet show, which was very satisfied with the media. There were many big-name stars present today, and even directors came. Now they just regretted that the page was not enough and they were not worried that there was nothing to write.

After entering the cinema, before Zhang Ran had sat down, Han Sanping came over with a young man wearing glasses.

Seeing this, Zhang Ran immediately smiled and greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Han, I didn't expect you to come today. It's so glorious!"

Han Sanping laughed and then introduced the young man beside him to Zhang Ran: "This is Lu Chuan, this is Zhang Ran! You two are the most popular young directors in China. With you young directors, there is great hope for Chinese films!"

Lu Chuan was looking at Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran was also looking at Lu Chuan. Then the two of them looked at each other and stretched out their hands at the same time. When shaking hands, Zhang Ran quickly tried a little harder, and he knew that Lu Chuan should be dissatisfied with him.

This is true. Lu Chuan is the screenwriter of the popular TV series "Black Hole". Later, she became a hit with "Looking for Guns". Chu Qiao, who became a young domestic director. However, before the new director's first position was hot, a Zhang Ran suddenly appeared. Not only did she win the grand prize at the Tokyo Film Festival, but now she has started an international production, making herself look dull.

Lu Chuan is a proud and even a little narcissistic person, so she would not accept this tone, so she planned to come and see how much Zhang Ran is.

"The Explosion Drummer won two awards at the Tokyo Film Festival, and it must be very good. I came here to study!" Lu Chuan said this, but her tone seemed dissatisfied. It felt like she was saying that the Tokyo Film Festival is a badass. As long as I want, I can get it.

Zhang Ran has no good feelings for Lu Chuan, so everyone has this talent, but he is too pretentious and narcissistic. He is the kind of person with greater ambition than strength, and he especially likes to show off his personal goods. Small-format movies like "Looking for Guns" and "Kokexili" are quite suitable for him. But after he became a little famous, he liked to play big ones, but he ended up filming one after another, killing many people.

However, people are here to support him, so Zhang Ran must have a smile on his face: "Welcome, I am a novice, I'm on the road, so please give me some advice!" Zhang Ran said politely, but there was no point in his tone.

Han Sanping was very happy. It seems that these two young people don’t agree with each other. It’s interesting! Young people just need to have motivation. If they don’t have motivation, will they still be called young people?

After a few simple chats, Zhang Ran returned to his position and the premiere began. Accompanied by the fierce drums, host Jin Wei walked onto the stage with a smile. Everyone's eyes were focused on the stage.

"Good evening for all my friends!" Jin Wei looked at the audience with a smile, "Welcome to the premiere of "Breaking Drummer". I am today's host Jin Wei! "Breaking Drummer" is the most anticipated movie this Spring Festival. Let us invite the main creators of the crew to play!"

Amid the warm applause, Zhang Ran, Zhou Jielun, Feng Yuanzhang, Zhang Jingchu, Huang Bo, Wang Yun and other main creators walked onto the stage and stood in a row in the middle of the stage. As actors and main creators in the play, they would have some interaction with the scene.

Jin Wei asked with the microphone, "Director Zhang, tell me why you wanted to shoot this movie?"

Zhang Ran raised the microphone and thought for a while, and said, "I have met a strict teacher myself. I am now a teacher and I am very strict with students. Sometimes I also wonder if I am too strict and whether my actions will cause harm to students. Of course, I am not saying that this story is related to my experience, nor is I a teacher like Chen Wei. I just want to show a story and show the confrontation between people!"

Jin Wei nodded with a smile, then threw the topic towards Jay Chou and asked, "Jie Lung, this is your first time acting in a movie and playing the leading role. Can you talk about your feelings?"

Zhou Jielun smiled and said, "This is my first time acting in a movie. I didn't know anything about performance. Thanks to the guidance of Teacher Feng Yuanzai and Teacher Zhang Ran, I can complete the performance. However, my plays are basically true performances, and I am a bit similar to Zhou Xu. What is the specific effect? ​​Everyone should watch the movie!"

"Teacher Feng Yuanzai, I heard that you played another villain this time. Is this character different from the characters you used to portray? How does it feel to work with director Zhang Ran?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "I play a teacher, but I don't agree with you. The character I play is not a bad person, but it's just a little extreme. Zhang Ran knows very well. He has learned acting, and like me, he learned Grotovsky. He is very happy to film with him. I hope he has the opportunity to work together in the future!"

Zhang Ran hurriedly said: "Absolutely, I will definitely cooperate!"

When Jin Wei heard this, he turned the topic back to Zhang Ran: "By the way, Director Zhang, everyone is very concerned about your new film. How are you preparing?"

Zhang Ran did not hide it, looked at the audience and said, "It went very smoothly. I will go to the Berlin Film Festival for pre-sale every few days, and then cast the cast in China!"

Many actors in the audience came for Zhang Ran, hoping to get to know Zhang Ran and then get the opportunity to star in Zhang Ran’s new film. Now when he heard Zhang Ran’s words, he was all moved and was thinking about how to fight for the role.

The ten-minute interview ended, followed by a short literary performance. Huang Bo went on stage to sing "I'm so happy today", and then Jay Chou went on stage to sing "Snail" and "Nunchaku", which pushed the atmosphere of the whole scene to the point.

The audience's emotions were completely aroused and they were full of expectations for the movie.

The lights in the screening hall went out, and the big screen was pitch black. Suddenly, the dragon logo of radio and television flashed on the screen, and then the logo of Qing Film Studio appeared.

The movie has officially begun! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
