Chapter 618: The Movie Begins

"There are a lot of people here, [Zhumen] is really incomparable to here. Qianqian tiptoed and looked at the pedestrian-lined street in front of her, feeling a little emotional.

"This is for sure, [Zhumen] has only been open for a few years before it has become famous, and there are definitely not many people. Even if the Shadow is only a little worse than [Cannes], there are still nearly two million viewers every year. Xiao Chi said this, and quietly approached Qianqian, planning to wait for Qianqian to be hit by the flow of passengers, take Qianqian's hand, open the way for her, and show the charm of male modern Homo sapiens.

"How do you know so well?" asked Qianqian. This is her first time coming to the [Magic Capital Film Festival].

"That's an interesting question. You should ask me what I don't know?" Koike greasy stroked his bangs that didn't exist in front of his forehead, "I also know that there are more than 5,000 films registered for the competition this year. Tsk, there are more than 5,000 films, and it's really right that Lao Han doesn't participate in the main competition unit. ”

Xiao Xia grabbed Xiao Chi's neck: "What did you say?"

"Sister Xia, calm down. Xiao Chi rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm definitely not saying that Lao Han didn't lose...... I mean, Lao Han himself said that his new work is a commercial film, and a commercial film competes for awards at film festivals and literary films, which is unnecessary, really unnecessary. "And many directors also have works this year.

Xiao Xia snorted coldly and let go of his hand.

For a film festival of this level like [Magic City Film Festival], every time you grab tickets, it is a big battle, and if you want to see which movie in which exhibition, you have to plan in advance and grab it at the point. Every time Koike and Konatsu come over, they always make a lot of preparations in advance, pick out the movies they want to watch, and make a list of tickets to grab tickets. If it weren't for Han Jue's studio giving them three tickets, the film written on the first line of the table this year would undoubtedly be Han Jue's new work, "The Dark Web".

For Han Jue's "Dark Web", Xiao Chi and Xiao Xia have been concerned about it for a long time.

Let's not mention idol bonuses and fan filters, just listening to the genre of the theme, they are already looking forward to it.

With the continuous progress of civilization and technology, the market for ghost legends is gradually decreasing, and it seems that the darkness of human nature is more terrifying. And the legend brings together the darkest dark web of human nature, which is almost an urban weirdo. It seems that all the evils that people can think of can be found in it, and ordinary people are even more afraid of it at a glance.

Koike Konatsu knows a few programmers, and they have also been taken to see a few dark webs, and they don't deify them, but they are still eager to watch the movie "Dark Web" and can't help but want to watch it.

When Han Jue was promoting it yesterday, he told reporters that this new movie related to the dark web is not a documentary, some of the settings in it are exaggerated, and there is no profound truth to talk about, so everyone can go into the theater happily and watch it.

Then they will come happily.

But Koike couldn't be happy a little bit, because there were two movies that were in place from lineup to publicity, and Koike was fed twice. It just so happens that the heroines of both movies are Millie. Xiao Chi is about to eat a psychological shadow when he eats: "But the heroine is Millie...... Old Han won't be going to hit the street this time, will he?"

"Crow's beak!"

"Phew, bah, bah. ”

Qianqian and Xiao Xia covered Xiao Chi's mouth.

Xiao Chi Nengben quickly changed his words: "Definitely won't hit the street!"

"Dare to poison milk?!"

"Take it back. ”

Qianqian and Xiao Xia almost shoved their fists into Xiao Chi's mouth this time.

Koike felt that it was too difficult to say something, so he didn't say it.

Koike actually had a doubt wandering in his heart.

If Han Jue's new film is really as commercial and shallow as he said, then how did this film be shortlisted for the [Director's Professional Unit] that focuses on the essence of film in a film festival?

Relying on personal style, technological innovation, experimental exploration?

I don't know.

Koike believes that the probability of the reviewers of the [Magic Capital Film Festival] collectively showing off their brains is still relatively low. So we'll have to wait until we start watching it later.

Look at the time, it's six o'clock in the evening, and there is still half an hour to enter the theater to watch a movie.

Koike and Natsu buy snacks at the cinema and head to the theater where "The Dark Web" is showing.

Along the way, Xiao Chi wanted to use his thin body to open up a way for Qianqian, but the reality was as skinny as his body, he was so crowded that he almost got lost, but fortunately, Xiao Xia grabbed the strap with the camera around his neck, so he didn't get lost.

By the time they arrived at the entrance of the theater, there were already a number of people scattered outside.

Genders are split between men and women, ranging in age from their teens to their forties.

"Dark Web" is not a participating film in the main competition unit, the premiere is not large, and there is no red carpet, but as a premiere, the main creator will still be present, and even give some answers after the screening, so it is even more difficult to grab tickets for the premiere. The crowds outside the theater have exceeded the capacity of a hall β€” some of whom have come to ask for tickets at high prices. But the success rate is very low, and no one has seen anyone change tickets.

Xiao Chi thought to himself, if it weren't for the fact that their movie tickets were given by Han Jue, they wouldn't know if they would have grabbed the premiere.

is different from the desertion at the [Zhumen Film Festival] last year, this year's Han Jue's films are being followed by a considerable number of people. In addition, after the publicity kept up, although "Dark Web" is not a work in the main competition unit, its popularity is still very high, and it is very difficult to grab tickets.

Like the [rookie wall] in basketball, it was amazing to be born in the first year, but the industry did not recognize and accept it. Only by maintaining the level in the following year and still showing considerable results despite high expectations can we really stand firm.

There are many people inside and outside the industry who are waiting for the first wave of word-of-mouth of "Dark Web".

Among these people, some waited for Han Jue to fail, and then said shyly, "I knew that Jiang Lang was exhausted" or "I'm so disappointed, "Love Traveler" is definitely not directed by him. Some of them hope that Han Jue will continue to amaze everyone.

The last "Time and Space Traveler" received quite a lot of positive reviews, but it was not without bad reviews. Most people are for the sake of [this is Han Jue's Virgo], and it is not good to be too harsh, and some deficiencies are lightly pointed out. But in the second part, if Han Jue maintains the original level, it will be fine, once there is a slight shortage, everyone will not be polite. How to say, welcome to the Chinese film and television circle.

But Han Jue is no longer alone. He has a few people who are willing to give Han Jue more patience, who are willing to give encouragement and support to Han Jue after his failure, and who tell Han Jue not to be afraid of failure.

Among the various people who were waiting, there was a small reunion that was especially large, and it was those from Han Jue's support association, adding up to nearly twenty.

They touched up their makeup, chatted, and played, and a bunch of energetic women who had reached the age of meat and vegetarianism were gathered together, and the lethality and deterrence were terrifying. Xiao Chi stood still from a distance, a little afraid of these eight women.

He saw that the woman named Jiang Yun among them was very agitated, jumping up and down, and kept asking them when they would have dinner with Han Jue, if they wanted to wear any nice clothes, if they could, I hope everyone would give a face and let her sit in the position next to Han Jue. A sister next to Jiang Yun was also very excited, saying that she would also sit next to Han Jue. took a closer look, oh, it was a man, or Jiang Yun's husband.

"Here we are. The president saw Xiao Xia and the others coming over, nodded and said hello.

"What are you talking about?" Qianqian asked Hu Fei with ice cream.

"Starring. Hu Fei replied.

As soon as he heard that he was going to talk about the starring role, Koike, who had a lot of opinions about the starring lineup of "Dark Web", immediately became energetic, and came over from the outside to participate in the debate.

The lineup of "Dark Web" has been announced very early. Gu Yu, Millie, one is a "missing person" who has disappeared for several years, and a "box office poison" that is poisonous, they really can't think of how Han Jue found the actors that the big directors dare not touch.

"Gu Yu, Millie...... Alas, it's clear that the last "Love Traveler" was so profitable, how could it ...... Of course, I don't mean to say that Gu Yu and Millie are bad. Xiao Chi looked around and found that everyone had an expression of "what kind of fart are you farting", Xiao Chi continued to hate him and said, "Why don't you spend some money to hire a few good actors?!"

Everyone responded, "Yes!" "Yes!" "It's weird!"

They revolved around Gu Yu and Millie, and began to speculate that Han Jue had to use their reasons, but after thinking about it, they didn't think that Han Jue would accept the unspoken rules or any PY deal.

After chatting for nearly thirty minutes, I finally stopped talking about this topic.

The reason why they only talk about Gu Yu and Millie is not because they are soft-hearted, but because several other actors are not familiar with each other at all and have not heard much of it.

There are newcomer actors, foreign actors, idols of [Blue Whale], and even Zhou Zhoubo, hehe.

"I was shocked when I saw Zhou Bo in the manual. ”

"I suspect that Lao Han is picking. He chose these actors to save money. ”

"Well, you can't say that......"

"How do you say that? ”

"Lao Han spent money on Xiao Zhou to make a movie. ”

"It's thick, too. ”

"I thought that Xiao Zhou was too jumpy, and I kept wondering why he wasn't fired or killed, it turned out to be Lao Han's apprentice. Jiang Yun was amazed.

Hu Fei smiled and said, "I thought he was Lao Han's sandbag." made Lao Han feel refreshed, so he went out to record the show calmly. ”

Liu Zhijie's eyes rolled around, and he didn't know what picture he was thinking. But he was immediately told by the daughter-in-law on the side not to speak, nor to think, otherwise he would gouge out his eyeballs.

"You guys have too much imagination," the president shook his head helplessly, and said, "I thought Xiao Zhou was funny and responsible, responsible for making Lao Han happy, but I really didn't expect ......"

"What movie is Xiao Zhou going to make?

"It should be. ”

β€œ......”

Xiao Chi listened to everyone talking about his lifelong enemy, and the corners of his eyes twitched, and his teeth suddenly began to sour like biting a lemon, and he let out a wail of a defeated dog in his throat.

Koike also only found out about this not long ago - his biggest opponent, Zhou Zhou Bo, actually became a director to make a short film! Not a name, not a deputy, but the kind of director who is really in charge of a small crew, from ideas, to preparation, to shooting, to editing, everything can be mixed.

In the past few months, Koike had always thought that Zhou Zhoubo's creative desire was declining and his creative ability had encountered a bottleneck, and he sighed in his heart, substituting the story of the tortoise and rabbit race, and creating diligently. While hoping that his lifelong enemy would recover soon, he posted several interesting funny videos in one goβ€”even the advertising video was made very funnyβ€”and finally, the number of fans surpassed.

But this victory is no longer meaningful.

Because Xiao Chi never expected that Zhou Zhou Bo had been writing scripts under the guidance of Han Jue, and it was all an illusion that his creative desire had declined and his creative ability had encountered a bottleneck. The truth is that the lifelong enemy has started a new stove and changed the map to play more advanced movies!

How unreasonable, how unreasonable!

I can't be a movie!!

I don't have a master like Lao Han!

Isn't it just making a movie, as if no one knows how to do it!

After a few nights of tossing and turning, Koike has decided to change the map as well, pursue art, and shoot a real work. He has figured out how to shoot the work. He can't afford a professional crew, and he has no money to get it. Combined with his career as a self-media person, Koike plans to use a mobile phone, a portable video recorder, a computer camera, and even a monitor to shoot a pseudo-documentary film with a variety of electronic devices. He checked, and no one in the film industry has played it like this yet. If he's having a good time, maybe ...... Hey, hey, hey~~

"Gone, what do you want? Qianqian patted Xiao Chi's head.

"Oh oh!" Koike quickly came back to his senses, followed the team, and walked into the theater in the eyes of the audience who had no tickets or could only watch the next show.

Walking into the screening room, a cool air conditioner suddenly blew away the heat and boredom of the summer night.

There are nearly 20 screening halls in the cinema, and there are quite a lot of theaters for the screening of "Dark Web", about 200.

The audience took their seats with excitement.

I am excited to be the first ordinary audience in the world to watch "Dark Web", and I am also excited to see Han Jue later.

When there were still five minutes before the screening, Han Jue appeared with a bunch of main creators.

Although many people present disliked Gu Yu and Millie, when they saw the star, they couldn't help but take out their mobile phones and take pictures vigorously, praising Gu Yu for being handsome and stylish, and marveling at Millie's beauty and white skin. But the focus of the lens is always Han Jue. Even though the movie "Dark Web" brought together Gu Yu, Millie and some other unknown or unprofessional actors, they still resolutely bought tickets to come, and they were tickets for the premiere. For nothing more than two words - Han Jue.

Han Jue took Gu Yu and Millie to stand at the front of the theater, waving to everyone and asking everyone to take pictures.

Gu Yu looked mature and unmoved by all kinds of eyes from the outside world, he smiled, waved his hand gently, and looked at the audience, as if he hadn't seen an old friend for a long time.

Millie waved her hand and smiled, but her smile was a little strong. She seems to be a little nervous, she probably doesn't know what the reaction will be after the broadcast of this movie behind her, and she is afraid that she will not be able to turn over if she completely sits on the name of box office poison.

The other actors are either newcomers or idols, they don't dare to ask too much, and being able to stand in the theater of the [Magic City Film Festival] with their works is already a victory in itself.

When Han Jue looked at the old faces in the audience, he showed a happy expression, and when he saw the other audience, his expression was also gentle. He took the microphone and said, "Thank you all for coming and seeing my movie." Now everyone can't wait to watch the movie, and I won't say anything. Whatever you have to say, let's wait until after the movie is over. I hope you all enjoy the movie. ”

Finally, he reminded everyone to put their mobile phones on silent mode, and Han Jue took the main creator back to the first row in applause to let the movie start.

At 6:40 p.m., the screening of "The Dark Web" began on time.

Koike is gearing up, ready to see how this commercial film is squeezed into the literary and artistic [Director's Professional Unit].

When he saw the feature film for the first time, Koike suddenly had only one thought in his head:

"How, how...... How did my idea get stolen?"
