Chapter 101: The premiere of "Seven Swords".
The celebration banquet lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, during which the CEOs and executives of various companies present expressed their willingness to invest to Tang An.
However, most of them immediately lost interest when they heard that it was a sci-fi blockbuster.
Although he didn't say anything to his face, Tang An could still feel that someone was pointing behind his back.
That night, the news that Tang An was going to make a sci-fi blockbuster quickly spread.
There were so many people on the scene, it was definitely impossible to hide it, and Tang An deliberately told them and said it through their mouths.
To put it bluntly, it's still for publicity.
How pathetic!
At first, when the first media report came out, the audience didn't believe it, but these reporters didn't make it up again.
However, as more and more media swore that Tang An's next movie would be a sci-fi blockbuster, the audience also put down the melons in their hands and began to be calm.
What are you kidding, you go to make a sci-fi movie when you play a horror movie, and you deliberately emphasize that it is a "blockbuster", what kind of trouble is this?
"Damn, is there any mistake, Tang An is going to make a sci-fi blockbuster?"
"Is this about to start a wave? Feng Xiao just didn't shoot a comedy to play in costumes, and now Tang An doesn't make horror movies anymore, he goes to play science fiction!"
"Wait, my mind is a little messy, what is science fiction? Do we have this genre in China?"
"The big brother upstairs is a lot, isn't it a science fiction film? I'm really looking forward to Tang An's new science fiction films!"
"It's over, it's over, the eyes of the upstairs oars are dazzled!"
"Brother is bleeding, people obviously say domestic science fiction films!"
"In other words, Tang An's brain hole has always been good, the creativity of "Shark Beach" and "Horror Cruise" can't be compared to a few Hollywood films, and I don't know how to innovate this science fiction film!"
"Made, it's rare for a director to make two horror films that you can watch, and now you're pretending to be forced to make sci-fi, who do you think you are? Are sci-fi and horror the same?"
"Shoot your uncle's sci-fi, you have to watch a lot of sci-fi movies Hollywood, hurry up and die back to make horror movies!"
......
Unexpectedly, there are still a lot of voices supporting Tang An, at least they will not be completely covered by another part of horror movie fans.
The most important thing in science fiction films is special effects and creativity, and the creativity of Tang An's first two films is very good, and a considerable number of audiences said that they are still looking forward to Tang An's new film.
And those horror movie fans directly opened their mouths and scolded, in their mouths, Tang An's transformation into science fiction films will definitely die.
......
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Tang An was invited to Dongcheng District to participate in the premiere of "Seven Swords", and was also asked by reporters about the new film.
Facing more than a dozen reporters alone in the interview area, Tang An seemed very calm.
This shouldn't be considered a smashing field, at most, it's just rubbing each other's heat!
After saying a word silently in his heart, Tang An began to deal with the reporter.
"I've had a science fiction dream since I was a child, dreaming that I suddenly have superpowers, I can fly to the sky and the sea, travel through time and space, teleport thousands of miles with one thought, and I can make the broom sweep the floor by myself and cook the food by myself without having to do it myself......"
"Director Tang!"
A reporter rudely interrupted Tang An's rhetoric and asked quickly, "What made you want to make a transition to making science fiction films?"
Tang An glanced at him, opened his mouth and came, "This is because I have had a science fiction dream since I was a child, dreaming that I suddenly have a ......"
Interrupted again, the reporter became a little impatient.
"There is no director in China who has made a science fiction film, Director Tang, how do you think you can make this science fiction film well?"
"Everything has a first time, and someone needs to have the courage to try, I am willing to be the first person to eat crabs, open up a new category for domestic films, and let the Chinese people know that we can make excellent science fiction films ourselves!" Tang An said with righteousness.
"Can Director Tang tell me what kind of story this sci-fi blockbuster is about?" the reporter brought the microphone over again.
"As I said earlier, flying to the sea, traveling through time and space, and thinking for thousands of miles, this is the story of a superwoman!" Tang An smiled.
Superwoman?
People have a superman in the United States, so you have to get a superwoman to come out, I'm afraid it's not raising the bar!
But it's quite topical, and the audience should like it!
"Is Superwoman an earthling, or is she from an alien planet like Superman?"
"It's a native of the earth, and he suddenly gained superpowers because of some accident!"
"Regarding the actor of Superwoman, does Tang An have a candidate?"
"At present, the script is not perfect, and the character design is still in the initial stage, and there is no idea for this!"
......
For more than 20 minutes, several batches of stars on the red carpet behind him have passed.
It wasn't until he found that the host Xu Ke's face in front of him was a little unsightly, so he left the reporter and continued to walk forward.
Tang An smiled embarrassedly at Xu Ke, "Director Xu, I'm sorry, these reporters are too pestering!"
Xu Ke was noncommittal, "I welcome Director Tang here, let's go in first, many peers want to meet you!"
Although the two had quarreled with reporters for a while before, they were just for the hype of the movie, and there was actually no grudge.
If this little thing can be feuding, then every director and actor is estimated to have a lot of mortal enemies, as long as they bump into the schedule, they are enemies.
Nearly half of the people in the screening hall are from Xiangjiang, including actors, directors, and producers.
all had their own small groups, Tang An said hello casually, and did not go up to join in the fun.
Don't look at the scenery of these people now, in a few years, they will be photographed to death on the beach.
I found a seat in the front row, and the premiere soon began.
The two directors are in the summer file, and Xu Ke was inevitably asked about his evaluation of "Horror Cruise" and his own expectations.
Xu Lao Wei would not fall into such a simple trap, and his answer was leaky, not only expressing his confidence, but also not explicitly belittling "Horror Cruise".
After a long period of activity, the film officially began to be screened.
is still the same as in my memory, the 150-minute movie, and I don't know what Xu Ke thinks.
It is said that when the film was first decided, it took 4 hours, and after the third cut, there were two versions: 150 and 120 minutes.
The 120-minute version only relies on fast-paced martial arts scenes to create climaxes, which relatively compresses the emotional expression of the characters and becomes a simple "martial arts" movie.
The twelve gatekeepers slaughtered the city, Fu Qing stole the wooden card, fought the twelve goalkeepers, fell into the Tianshan Mountain in the face of heavenly fire, awarded seven swords, and Wuzhuang was massacred......
Confrontation, growth, affection, grudges, schemes, fights......
The 150-minute movie tells a lot and is also very exciting.
......
"Horror Cruise" has been released for nearly half a month, and the newly released "Seven Swords" naturally replaced Tang An and "Horror Cruise" and became the new focus of media attention.
In the midst of the hype, the first-day box office of "Seven Swords" and the results of "Horror Cruise" facing "Seven Swords" on the first day also came out.
