Chapter 107: Shabby Premiere Ceremony (Subscription Requested!)

The premiere ceremony is an essential part of any film.

Whether it is a large-scale production or a small-budget film, no matter how small the investment, the premiere ceremony is always indispensable.

Blockbusters have blockbuster gameplay, and small costs have small gameplay.

At every turn, there are venues such as auditoriums and stadiums, and a premiere costs tens of millions, which is no longer an uncommon thing for big productions.

Not only is the premiere of blockbusters such as "Assembly Number", "Casting a Name", and "Wuji" very large, but the premiere of the song and dance movie "If Love" the year before last cost 10 million, of course, this is also a big production, and the cost is as high as 80 million.

It seems that "If Love" also launched charity fundraising at the premiere, auctioned off the costumes in the movie, and the person who planned the premiere was really a genius.

For low-budget movies, then just find a better movie theater to get a premiere, and you can't afford to burn that money.

UME Huaxing Cinemas, located in the North Third Ring Road, is also the first choice for many medium-budget films as the premiere venue.

Li Qian and his entourage came downstairs to the studio by car, and it was already more than five o'clock in the evening.

The premiere ceremony was held in the IMAX Screening Room No. 2 on the east side of the second floor, with nearly 400 seats, and the newly renovated stage was also suitable for the premiere ceremony.

I entered the studio from the inner passage and went up to the second floor, but before I went out, I heard some noisy sounds outside.

Although there are no big-name stars in "Frequency of Life and Death", such a popular schedule for the Chinese New Year has also gained a certain reputation after being screened.

And the two blockbusters of the Chinese New Year have been released one after another, and there are no more movies, and only the new film "Frequency of Life and Death" has been released recently.

For small-budget movies, there should also be cards.

"Let's go. ”

After saying hello, Li Qian led the actor to appear.

Tong Liya, who was wearing a long skirt, walked in front with Li Qian, Yuan Quan held Zhang Hanyu, and Sun Li held Deng Chao behind him.

Lei Jiayin and Wang Qianyuan followed behind, he looked left and right at the two of them dressed in black suits, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"Lao Wang, why do I look like two bodyguards?"

Wang Qianyuan paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Don't say it, it's really a bit similar, why don't I lend your hand to hold it?"

“.......”

Lei Jiayin's face was cold, this Wang Qianyuan's fierce appearance is not funny at all when he jokes.

There are still a few steps away from the red carpet, and Sun Li in front of her also whispered in Deng Chao's ear, "Why do you have to call me, I'm not afraid that the reporter will ask us about the two of us again, and forget why Ma Xiaogang was unhappy last time." ”

"What if you don't come, what will I do. ”

Deng Chao looked helpless, "Tong Liya is my wife in the play, so it stands to reason that I have to take Tong Liya on the red carpet." ”

Although it was just holding hands, it was not a matter at all, but in the past half a month, she had traveled to two or three cities, and when she stayed in a hotel in other places, Tong Liya lived with Li Qian.

When I was filming before, I still lived separately, and it was obvious that the relationship was one step closer.

Although I don't know whether Li Qian's temper is generous or not, Deng Chao is still careful not to be recorded in the blacklist book by Li Qian, so he asked Sun Li to accompany him to the premiere.

Although she did not participate in this movie, it is normal to bring her family.

In this way, the team is much more harmonious.

Anyway, he and Sun Li have been officially announced, and it has no impact.

......

Soon, the front passage turned a corner and officially walked the red carpet leading to the screening room.

There must always be a sense of ceremony, no matter what the occasion in the entertainment industry, the red carpet is always a must-have.

There are still a lot of media and fans next to him, but he can't pay thirty or fifty yuan a person, and he wants as much as he wants.

From the moment Li Qian took Tong Liya to step on the red carpet, he could constantly hear the clicking sound and the flashing lights were dazzling.

The fans at the scene were also quite enthusiastic, and Deng Chao's fans accounted for the majority, and it seemed that there were still organized fans, all waving signs in their hands.

In addition, Yuan Quan has a lot of fans, Zhang Hanyu, as the male lead, is still the male lead in "Assembly Number", and I don't see a few fans.

As for Li Qian and Tong Liya, they don't have any fans.

Half of the people gathered around were just watching the excitement.

It's pathetic, it's shabby.

Let the media and fans take some photos, and soon walked the red carpet and entered the screening room.

At a glance, there were not many stars in the screening hall, and they were a little shabby, but Yu Dong and Huang Zhongjun actually came.

"Mr. Wang. ”

said hello to Wang Changtian, and then looked at Yu Dong and Huang Zhongjun, "Thank you Mr. Yu and Mr. Huang for appreciating the light." ”

"Director Li is polite, I'm also very curious, I want to see your movie, I have been busy with the previous screening and have no time to go. ”

It is unprecedented that the owners of two of the largest private film and television companies in China came to attend the premiere of a small-budget film at the same time.

However, Li Qian's movie has shown a certain potential, word of mouth has spread, and the content is suitable for the Chinese New Year, and the competition at the end of January is far less than that in the middle of the month, and the box office is likely to sell well.

can be a blockbuster commercial film director, this identity is worth a trip to them.

Wang Changtian knew their intentions, and he would definitely continue to recruit Li Qian in the future.

However, if you want to recruit and recruit, now that no star of Huayang Media has appeared at the premiere ceremony, Huang Zhongjun still doesn't want his own stars to build momentum for his opponent's movie.

Huayang's stars didn't come, Chengtian didn't come either, and other companies were invited, but they were not as good as one of Huayang's three major flowers.

That's why the premiere looks so shabby.

However, after Wang Changtian and Li Qian discussed, they didn't deliberately do a big deal, it all cost money, and it was better to spend this spare money on publicity, and there was no need to do a face-saving project.

According to statistics, the total amount of money spent on the premiere ceremony of domestic films this year is 100 million!

In fact, although it has also played a certain effect, it is not proportional to this cost at all.

If you have money, you can do it, if you don't have money, it's almost fine, don't slap your swollen face and become fat.

After dealing with the other guests present, the premiere was about to start, so I sat down in the front row with the actors.

At six o'clock in the evening, the premiere ceremony officially began, and the hosts were Zuo Jian and Xie Yan, the newcomers that Guangxian Media focused on cultivating, and the former was still cultivated by Guangxian as He Yan's successor.

"Dear guests, spectators and friends, good evening!"

"Welcome to the premiere of the movie "Frequency of Life and Death"!"

"All dreamy chapters can be edited in film......."

.......

"Now I announce that the premiere ceremony of the movie "Frequency of Life and Death" has officially begun!"

......

After a rather formal opening statement, the ceremony began.

"Next, let's welcome the director of the movie "Frequency of Life and Death", director Li Qian!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

In bursts of applause, Li Qian walked onto the stage.

"Hello Director Li. ”

As soon as Li Qian came on stage, Xie Yan looked "surprised": "I didn't expect you to be so young, Director Li, I think the audience and friends present must be very curious about your age, so it is convenient to tell everyone?"

Li Qian raised the microphone and said with a smile, "We should be about the same age, I am 84 years old, and it has been more than a year since I graduated." ”

Born in 84 years and 23 years old, this also surprised the audience.

With the publicity of this half-and, "Frequency of Life and Death" has a certain reputation, and word of mouth has spread after the screening, but the vast majority of the audience does not know Li Qian.

Even if you know that the director is Li Qian, and you also know that he has filmed "Jaws" before, it is estimated that it is limited to the name Li Qian.

Only a very small number of people know something about Li Qian through the news during this time.

The audience began to talk about it.

"This director is so young, he is a year older than me. ”

"23 years old? "Sniper Phone Booth" was also filmed by him? ”

"Awesome, people are more popular than people. ”

"At such a young age, how can you shoot such a delicate father-son relationship?"

"Amazing, in the same year as me, it's almost as handsome as me. ”

"No wonder the brain hole is so big, it's science fiction and suspense crime, those older generation directors definitely can't come up with such a good idea. ”

.......

The audience was surprised by their age, and the two hosts on stage were also shocked by their age and pretended to be surprised.

Li Qian had experienced the same scene no less than ten times before.

Interviews with two portals, programs from two TV stations, and several roadshows, no matter which host at the beginning, will always be shocked.

Soon back to the point, the movie itself.

"The movie "Frequency of Life and Death" actually represents the wish of everyone's heart, people always have some regrets, and they may often regret something at some point, and countless times imagine in their hearts that if I do what I did at that time, there would be a better result. ”

"The son wants to raise but does not treat the family, which is probably one of the most regretful things in a person's life. ”

"Life can't be repeated, we can't change the past, the movie "Frequency of Life and Death" satisfies our fantasy, the male protagonist in the movie can cross time and space and contact his father 20 years ago, by changing the past, to change the present, and the future, and adapt the fate of the family!"

We talked about the idea of creating a film, why we made this film, what we wanted to express through this film, and so on.

Although Li Qian doesn't have any ideas to express, he doesn't know his own movies, and he can say a bunch of things casually.

Immediately afterwards, the actors were invited up and told some interesting stories about the shooting.

Of course, he ruthlessly uncovered Deng Chao's scars again and teased him on stage.

Everything is for the sake of the movie, for the sake of the overall situation, Li Qian can only let Deng Chao sacrifice for the time being.

Then there was a little more interaction with the audience, and the ceremony ended.

The overall atmosphere from beginning to end was not very enthusiastic, and it was not as good as the hodgepodge "Fate Call Transfer" that I watched before.

After all, it's just that the movie itself is a little hot and has a good reputation.

There is no star flavor, Zhang Hanyu's popularity is average, and there are no other famous stars on the scene.

This is a strange phenomenon, actors who have made high-grossing movies are not necessarily famous and have a lot of fans.

And there are no singing and dancing programs, and Li Qian himself is not very famous.

All in all, it's a somewhat shabby premiere.

After all, it is the first movie, and Li Qian has nothing to disappoint about, the momentum of the premiere has nothing to do with the box office after that, and when the movie is finished, the reaction of the audience is the most important thing in the entire premiere.

It was dark in the screening room, the big screen slowly lit up, and the movie officially began.

The dragon mark and the opening of the film flashed by.

On the huge IMAX screen, a fireball that spreads all over the screen is reflected in the audience's mind.

There are now several movie theaters with IMAX screens in China, and the locations are relatively good in the local area, so "Frequency of Life and Death" has also produced IMAX DMR versions for these IMAX screens.

Nowadays, there are almost no IMAX movies other than documentaries, so these screens can't be empty.

In order to promote his cinema system, IMAX launched a DMR technology.

The production company gave a copy of the film's 35mm film to IMAX, which used DMR technology to scan each frame of the 35mm film at the highest resolution and convert it into digital image.

Each frame is then optimized using proprietary image enhancement technology and printed on 70mm film.

The master tape of the 35mm film originally had 4K definition, but after many copies, the later copies will get worse and worse, and the more times it is projected, it will get worse and worse, and it will be almost 2K when it is projected on the big screen.

After being converted to the IMAX DMR version, it will be shown on the IMAX screen, and it will also be shown in at least 4K.

It doesn't cost much to convert a few copies, IMAX is mainly to promote its own system and IMAX screen, and take the initiative to help you convert it at a discount, otherwise his screen will not have a film.

However, after the IMAX screen promotion, the other party will definitely have no discounts, but the conversion price will be higher.

IMAX screen, the effect is excellent.

On a cold day, the audience saw the huge sun, and even saw the distortion of space caused by the high temperature, as if it was right in front of them, and they didn't feel so cold.

There are still very few viewers who have watched the screening, after all, more than 60,000 people are scattered all over the country, and there are not many.

Listening to the news report in the narration that the Northern Lights appeared, coupled with the huge sun, the audience was a little curious.

"Is it really a science fiction movie?"

But then the plot returns to the ground, and at night a tanker truck overturned, blocking the passage of underground workers repairing cables.

An explosion could occur at any moment, but there were still two people trapped underneath.

was such a critical plot from the beginning, so that the audience couldn't help but start worrying,

The firefighter played by Zhang Hanyu took the initiative to pry open the manhole cover from another entrance not far away, and in the sewer, he also made a humorous joke to ease the atmosphere.

This is a mature, humorous firefighter uncle.

After rescuing the trapped two workers, Zhang Hanyu asked the other teammates to take them up first.

A man climbs up from the mouth of the sewer, and with each climb, the camera cuts to a lit that has just been repaired not far away, and a cable hangs in mid-air, crumbling.

The exposed wires from the broken mouth were constantly flickering, and it looked like they were about to hit the stagnant water in the sewer.

In this way, the camera kept switching back and forth, people went up one by one, and the cables got closer and closer to the water.

The tanker truck has leaked, oil is constantly seeping down, and an explosion can happen at any time.

"Hurry up!!"

Although he knew that Zhang Hanyu was the protagonist and couldn't hang up at the beginning, in the face of this scene, he couldn't help but worry about him, and kept urging others to climb up quickly.

The wires are getting closer to the water, and the shots of the wires breaking are getting closer and closer.

Until a close-up was given in a row, it was only a millimeter away from the water surface, which was extremely worrying.

Finally, after Zhang Hanyu and the others went up, they also climbed the ladder.

Before leaving, he glanced back, just as the wires touched the water, and the water was mixed with oil.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the narrow passage was completely filled with fire, and it quickly spread like Zhang Hanyu's side.

The camera is facing the place where the fire is burning, and the audience is also facing the fire, and the direction of the fire is also towards the audience.

The IMAX screen brings a super movie-watching experience, so that the audience can't help but feel a burning feeling.

"it!"

"Still pretending to be forced there, looking back, it's a long life!"

"Hurry up!"
