Chapter 410: Star Wars Premiere
This is a feast for the Chinese film collective, directors and actors, big and small, as long as they say that they have a little relationship, then they must find a chance to go in, the premiere ceremony of Guangming Cinema, at the beginning, it was planned to accommodate twenty peers, even if it was more crowded, but, as a result, there were no hundreds of people on the road, even if it was a big one, but looking at the names of the rest of the people, there was a way. Moreover, it is difficult for anyone to refuse. If the new film association wants to develop, it can't offend everyone.
Therefore, at this time, Chairman Liu is relatively difficult, the premiere of twenty people is already the most, and it is almost impossible to have more.
But after looking at the condensed list, it is impossible to take down any of them.
This time, Chairman Liu felt a little impulse to lift a stone and hit his feet. This is simply a painful process, obviously saying that it will become a credit, but if it is said that this premiere ceremony is not handled well, the new film association will use him as a scapegoat.
Thirty people, it is obviously impossible to sit down on the rostrum, what should I do, seeing that there is still half an hour to start, the reporters have already been waiting at the scene, and the actors, directors, none of them are late, many people even said that they arrived half an hour early. It's a bit unimaginable, and you can see how great the charm of George Lucas is.
When the fire burned his eyebrows, Ye Ming walked over with Fan Binbin, and when he approached, Ye Ming greeted him and said, "Liu Dong, you are a busy man, you are a landlord today, why did you come here alone." ”
Chairman Liu naturally wanted to show off at this glorious moment, but in such a situation, he understood it himself. If you don't solve the current difficulties yourself, you will be unlucky.
His position as chairman of the board of directors is not very stable in the New Film Association. It's not a person who would covet his position.
Therefore, many people are actually waiting to see his jokes. At this time, Chairman Liu did not hide it, after all, Ye Ming is not a real person from the New Film Association. Let Ye Ming know that Ye Ming is not a big deal.
The key is that Chairman Liu wants to find someone to complain: "Director Ye, don't laugh at me, this time it's burning eyebrows, there were originally twenty people on the rostrum, and the last important guests were thirty, no one can streamline it, this premiere ceremony looks like I'm going to be unlucky." ”
After speaking, Chairman Liu sighed heavily, since he was mixed in this circle. In such a situation, you must abide by the rules of such a circle, and if you make a mistake, you will have to bear the price.
At this time, Chairman Liu truly realized the meaning of the four words of human affection. Ye Ming said with a smile: "This matter is very simple to say. ”
After saying these words, Ye Ming stopped talking. Chairman Liu naturally understood what was going on in this matter, and he was originally exhausted, but he didn't expect the result of another village. At that moment, Chairman Liu immediately said: "Brother Ye has any tricks to guide me, and I will give you an extra amount of film in the nightclub tomorrow." ”
Don't underestimate this one. You must know that in addition to the Phantom Crisis of Star Wars, the new film association is not only showing a movie [Nightclub].
If you can give Ye Ming one more point, it will also be Chairman Liu's greatest right at this time.
This is what Ye Ming wants. Nodding his head, he said, "Actually, it's very simple, take down the rostrum, and there are six round tables in the front row, and there are only five people at each table of thirty people, which is not crowded." ”
At this time, Chairman Liu was fortunately a little dazed: "What about the rostrum? A director like George Lucas is here, and it is impossible to let people go to the rostrum." ”
If George Lucas is offended, there will be no good fruit for him. Ye Ming said very firmly: "This is simply impossible, George Lucas is a director." And there is actually only one protagonist on the scene today, and that is [Star Wars]. As long as you put Star Wars on the podium, this is the greatest respect for the movie. This is the greatest respect for the director, and it is guaranteed that Lucas will not be angry and will be very happy. ”
A director, whether it is an underground director or a big-name director in Hollywood, what he wants to see most is naturally everyone's respect and recognition of his films. Wake up the person in the dream, hearing this, Chairman Liu suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked people to arrange. At the official start of the premiere, the arrangement without a rostrum obviously made it difficult for reporters to adapt, but soon, everyone threw this discomfort to the back of their minds, because George Lucas appeared, a very gentle bearded old man, who seemed to have a pair of wise eyes full of endless mystery.
Lucas's aura was very strong, and when he appeared with his hand, Fan Binbin, who was originally chattering non-stop, actually said that he didn't dare to speak. It is a kind of deterrence of the superiors, as a giant standing at the top of the entertainment industry, Lucas is qualified to be on an equal footing with the eight giants.
Therefore, as soon as Lucas appeared, for a moment, the audience was silent at first, and then there was thunderous applause, which made people think of the kind of fervent hope, the infinite hope for the future, for the future. It seems that it is also an expectation of Chinese filmmakers for their own film careers. George Lucas was able to come, which also shows that the development of Chinese films in the past two years has been recognized by this great director, otherwise people would not have come over at all.
And now in such a situation, Ye Ming can't be ranked in the middle at all, this time the front row is arranged with five round tables, not six, five naturally has the intention of five. Director Lucas, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Warner Bros. Asia President Ai Qiuhua, Paramount Asia President Mr. Wood, and Chairman Liu of the New Film Association, this is the lineup of a table in the middle. It's so powerful that it's shocking.
Ye Ming is not qualified to sit with Zhang Yimou and the others at all, at least for now. However, fortunately, in the position on the left, there is a place for Ye Ming in the place where he and Feng Xiaogang are sitting. The beginning of the premiere was very gorgeous, and the beautiful host was also very good at mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene. Chairman Liu also paid attention to Lucas's expression and found that the great director was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, it was an expression full of joy, and at this time a big stone in my heart fell to the ground.
After a boring process, the reporter's question session began. A reporter from the Asahi Shimbun stood up and asked: "Director Lucas, this is the first time that Star Wars has been released in China. What do you think of this ice-breaking trip, and did you leave any deep impression on you from Huaxia movies?"
This question is very level, and it is not a little higher than that of Huaxia to let Lucas say that the level of Japanese movies is higher than that of Huaxia, because this is not the first time that Star Wars has been screened in Japan. This little devil's insidious strategy was seen through by his Huaxia counterparts for the first time. But this is an upright conspiracy, and there is no way to crack it. At this time, even Zhang Yimou was sweating in his heart, looking at how Lucas answered such a question.
Lucas also seemed to be aware of the difficulty of this problem, and said with a smile: "Huaxia has the largest movie-going population in the world, although the cinema chain is still in its infancy. But it can be seen that they have been working hard, and I very much hope that the audience in China can accept my Star Wars, this is my baby, and I naturally hope to be recognized by the largest audience. As for my impression of Huaxia, hard work, Huaxia filmmakers are the hardest working filmmakers I have ever seen. God, when we make movies in Hollywood, we actually say that there is still a Sunday, which I heard has never appeared in China again. ”
Hollywood movies don't just have Sundays. There is also an eight-hour work system, if it is a child star, it is even more harsh to the outrageous conditions. There are no night scenes, there must be some words, then a contract must be signed that is very humiliating and humiliating. Lucas heard Huaxia's movie model for the first time, and he was stunned.
This is simply a paradise for film directors, filming in China for two days, this is very normal, eight-hour work system, to hell, if you can call it a day before the early morning. That already means that the director has a great conscience. Staying up late to film is commonplace, and there is such a saying in the Chinese entertainment industry. An actor who doesn't stay up late is not a good actor.
This evaluation made some reporters of the Asahi Shimbun laugh and cry. This is the case in China, and so is it in our Great Japanese Empire, where we are more able to endure hardships than them.
At the moment, the mustache was a little unwilling to say: Director Lucas, you appreciate Chinese movies so much, then who are you the most anticipated Chinese filmmaker, and are there any people who want to cooperate?"
Huaxia's Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Japan's Kurosawa Ming, Kitano Wu, etc. are all world-famous directors, but it is impossible to cooperate with Lucas, and it may not be successful to fight others. Therefore, a big director of the level of Lucas, even if he wants to find a Chinese, that is, a small supporting role in a movie or something, let alone a martial arts instructor or something, it is impossible to be regarded as a real cooperation.
In the Asahi Shimbun's mustache, I don't have such a genius in the Japanese Empire, can there be such a person in Huaxia?
It's simply impossible, what is the purpose of this reporter from the Asahi Shimbun coming, and now it is clear that this is the rhythm of slapping the face, this is the rhythm of a blatant slap in the face.
After such a basis nurse, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly fell into a burst of embarrassment, China's top directors, top actors, but they are all here, anyway, everyone who has a way to come in has come in. But being slapped in the face in front of so many people by a little devil reporter is not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have mixed feelings in their hearts, and it is these two people who really represent the level of Chinese films, and now the two of them seem to have realized that in such a situation, film magazines around the world will discuss this matter exclusively tomorrow. A chill flashed in Zhang Yimou's eyes, honest people also have times when they are angry, and this Chen Kaige glanced meaningfully at the mustache of the Asahi News, this guy, I don't need to clean up.
And at this time, it seems that Lucas also realized something, realized that he might jump into a pit at this time. Before Lucas could say anything, Ai Qiuhua said with a smile: "George, it seems that many people still care very much about your opinions, you should share your ideas with everyone, win-win cooperation, this is the king." Huaxia movies, there are also some interesting people who want to appear, it is worth looking forward to. ”
Lucas paused for a moment, Ai Qiuhua can say this, it is definitely not untargeted, who do you need to pay attention to? At this time, Lucas swept it, and did not find anything worthy of his expectation and amazement.
At this time, Mr. Wood also smiled and said: "That's right, George, you should take a long-term view, some people in China are still worth looking forward to." Even Wood began to recommend it, and at this time, I have to say that Lucas paid attention to it, and he said solemnly: "Wood, you made it clear to me, don't hide it from me." Mr. Wood quickly lowered his voice and spoke. Lucas frowned before he said, "Are you sure?"
Mr. Wood said with great certainty: "Feelings, can I lie about such a question? I didn't come here alone, Hollywood almost knows about this matter, that is, a technical otaku like you doesn't know this kind of thing? Such a person, such a vision is qualified to cooperate with you, right?"
Hearing this, Lucas pondered for a while and said: "If this is really the case, then does it mean that there is no basis for cooperation, interesting, I didn't expect that I came to Huaxia, but I just walked casually, but I didn't expect to meet such an interesting young man, it's not simple, it's really not simple." ”
This time for Lucas, it was actually more like a tour, and he didn't take it to heart at all. (To be continued)
