Chapter 1047: The Premiere (continued)
The standard duration of a movie is 90-120 minutes, as long as it is released in theaters, it is usually not less than 90 minutes, but there are many films that exceed two hours, such as the military blockbuster "Blood in the Pacific" shot in the United States in 12 years, and the fantasy blockbuster "The Return of the King" in 13 years is 3 hours long.
"Operation Thunder" is 120 minutes long, just within the norm, and its premiere at the Beijing Grand Theater starts at 7:10 p.m. and ends at 9:10 p.m.
The Beijing Grand Theater has 755 seats, far beyond the scale of ordinary theaters, and tonight's theater is full, in addition to the celebrities and industry insiders who were invited to watch the ceremony and cheer, as well as representatives of the crew, producers, and partners, there are also many media reporters and lucky fans of the Weibo lottery.
"Running forward, facing cold eyes and ridicule, how can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships?"
"Fate can't make us kneel and beg for mercy, even if blood is sprinkled all over our arms..."
When the list of cast and crew appeared on the giant screen, and when the "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" sung by the Six Pointed Star Band and the Triumph Band echoed in the theater, the guests sitting in the front row stood up first.
Some of them are senior media reporters, some are representatives of Red Flag, Jiandun and China Film, some are leaders from the Navy's Propaganda Department, as well as well-known directors, actors and film critics.
Everyone clapped their hands in unison and gave warm and sincere applause to the just-finished "Operation Thunder".
Under their leadership, the audience behind them stood up and applauded.
At the back, the audience applauded thunderously, which lasted for nearly a minute!
Today, the domestic film market is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become the second largest box office market in the world, and it will soon surpass North America to take the top spot.
The bigger the cake, the more fierce the competition, in the past decade, domestic films have risen rapidly, there are more and more films produced by big stars, and film investment is getting higher and higher.
In addition to production, the importance of film publicity is becoming increasingly prominent, especially in popular periods such as the Spring Festival, National Day, and summer holidays.
Now there are many films with an investment of two or three hundred million, and in order to have a better publicity effect, many big productions often hold premieres and invite people from all walks of life to watch and cheer.
Everyone is invited, and they must more or less give the organizer a face, even if the film is lackluster, it is basic politeness to give applause when you watch it.
But there is a very different difference between polite applause and appreciative applause, and a standing ovation from all the audience undoubtedly represents the highest compliment to the film.
It's very rare, but Operation Thunder did!
You must know that among the more than 700 guests and audiences at the scene, there is no professional guest, which is commonly known as Tuo, and it is by no means easy to get all the recognition.
The lights in the theater were all bright, and in the continuous and warm applause, the main creative staff of the "Thunder Action" crew appeared on stage, which also pushed the atmosphere of the audience to the climax!
Director and actor Luo Kai, heroine Mo Lan, chief producer Zhang Zhiye, executive director Che Deyuan, assistant director Shi Fei, producer Mu Qi, and the young members of the Thunder Squad.
Bright lights shone on their faces full of joy.
After a long time, the applause gradually subsided, Luo Kai took the microphone from a staff member and said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your applause and praise, thank you very much!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply to the audience.
The others followed.
The applause rang out again, as if it was like a tide that had receded and restarted, slapping the shore and making people's hearts surge!
At the premiere of "Operation Thunder" tonight, in addition to the red carpet ceremony at the beginning of the outfield, the infield started directly with the movie playing, and the speeches, interactions and interviews were all put in the back.
A very simple truth, that is, to use the work to speak, if the film is not recognized by the audience, then no matter what is said or how grand the ceremony is, it will not help.
In this regard, Luo Kai has a strong self-confidence.
Although "Thunder Action" is an adaptation, and the background of the story comes from real events, he personally created a new script, obtained the directing rights through competition, participated in the filming and production as a dual role of director and actor, and then supervised the post-production and special effects production throughout the process, and finally completed the editing of the film.
Even the theme song and promotional song of the movie are from Luo Kai, so it is not an exaggeration to say that "Thunder Action" is Luo Kai's movie, and he naturally knows the quality of the film.
"Operation Thunder" tells the story of overseas evacuation, adding a fictional protagonist plot, but the idea of the theme has not changed, and the melody of loyalty, honor, sacrifice, bravery, and fearlessness runs through the whole movie.
Although the time is as long as two hours, the story is tight and strong, without the slightest delay and perfunctory, and even the transitional plot is firmly grasping the hearts of the audience.
Of course, whether "Operation Thunder" can be recognized by more fans and whether it can win the crown of the Spring Festival stalls depends on the audience's reputation after its official release tomorrow.
But at least for now, Luo Kai can be very confident that his work is worthy of the ticket price paid by the audience.
So in addition to thanking the guests and the audience, Luo Kai did not deliberately sensationalize, or talk a lot, he handed the microphone to Zhang Zhiye next to him.
As the chief producer of "Thunder Action", although Zhang Zhiye's presence in the crew is lower than Luo Kai's, his role is really not much worse than Luo Kai's.
Without Zhang Zhiye, the "big butler", even if Luo Kai has rich directing experience from Dream World, he can't complete all the production of the film in less than a year.
In particular, when the crew went to the Republic of Saiga to shoot the location, Zhang Zhiye always communicated and negotiated with the Saiga official through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy, ensuring the safety of the crew and the smooth progress of the filming.
It is also under the management and coordination of Zhang Zhiye that the crew of "Thunder Operation" has never lacked manpower or the professional level of the members, and the elite soldiers sent from Red Flag, Jiandun and China Film will become Luo Kai's most powerful supporters.
The most important thing is that Zhang Zhiye, who holds the power of the crew, fully respected Luo Kai's directing power, and did not hold him back in the filming work, which played a completely positive and positive role.
Therefore, at this moment, Luo Kai prefers to let Zhang Zhiye speak on behalf of the crew.
