Chapter 784: Premiere (Part II)
As the lights went out, the No. 1 hall of the Light Cinema quickly became quiet.
Hundreds of seats were packed, and the special guests, journalists, and lucky fans who came to the premiere were all focused on the huge screen in front of them.
"Across the Seas" has been attracting much public attention since the announcement of the filming plan, because this domestic blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million yuan is Luo Kai's first directorial work, and he is also the leading actor of the film, and even the screenwriting is done by him independently.
This is a film that truly belongs to Luo Kai, and it is bound to bear his most distinctive imprint.
Many people in the industry have a very good opinion on this, and some people think that Luo Kai is too inflated, and he has just become the leading actor in the movie, so he is ambitious to make his own movies, and the investment is so big, no matter how you look at it, it is unreliable.
They also don't believe that Luo Kai can complete the task of directing a blockbuster, and some even hope that Luo Kai will make a big mistake in "Across the Seas".
In the past two years, Luo Kai has been too beautiful in the entertainment industry, and he has been on the hot search headlines if he doesn't agree with him, he has always been so successful, and there are really many people who are jealous - why are you so good?
At this moment, there are such people sitting in the audience, including some media reporters.
They're here to pick on the, and if the movie isn't as good as everyone thinks, or if it doesn't meet the audience's psychological expectations, then they'll definitely jump out and lash out.
The DreamWorks logo appeared on the screen, and after a CG scene, the movie officially began.
The story of "Across the Seas" is set in Xiangjiang, starting in the 80s, when the three orphans of Ah Hai, Ah Zhan and Hongdou were adopted by the gang boss Haoye, who trained them strictly and made the three of them work for themselves.
The three elementary schools who are close to each other have established a deep relationship in the hardships and hardships, and they are lucky to get the sympathy and care of the policeman Chen Sir, and because of Chen Sir's teachings, they did not really fall into the darkness.
More than twenty years later, Sanxiao is already a well-known thief, Ah Hai and Hongdou have become lovers, and the three of them are tired of stealing and want to get rid of Haoye and live a normal life.
Hao Ye agreed, but let them complete the last mission, which was to infiltrate the classified archives of the French General Intelligence Service and steal a secret piece of information from the international criminal organization Sota.
Hao Ye himself is a member of Sota, and he wants this secret information to fight against the opponents in the organization, and even intends to become the leader of Sota.
Ah Hai, Ah Zhan and Hongdou took over the task, and with the help of the underground mercenaries in Paris, Ah Hai successfully infiltrated the secret archives of the General Intelligence Bureau and obtained the intelligence information that Hao Ye wanted.
However, the French mercenaries betrayed them, and the three were pursued by both the intelligence bureau and the gangsters, although Ah Zhan and Hongdou finally escaped, Ah Hai fell into the Danube River and disappeared in order to cover the two.
The grief-stricken Ah Zhan and Hongdou returned to Xiangjiang, and because they were not able to complete the task, the two could not get rid of Haoye's control.
But a month later, Ah Hai reappeared in Xiangjiang, much to the great surprise of Ah Zhan and Hongdou.
It's just that Ah Hai, who has come back from the dead, is disabled and can only sit in a wheelchair, and he wants to exchange the information in his hand for the freedom of the three of them.
Hao Ye agreed on the surface, but secretly wanted to kill Ah Hai, but he didn't expect that this was a trap set by Ah Hai and Chen Sir in order to grasp the evidence of his crime.
After a battle of wits and fierce fighting, Hao Ye finally fell into the legal net, and Ah Hai, Ah Zhan and Hongdou also lived the life they wanted.
When the ending song of "Across the Seas" sounded, when the subtitle list of the cast and crew was played on the screen, and when the lights in the theater were slowly lit up, the audience burst into warm applause!
They applaud the film!
""Across the Seas" is a very atypical domestic production, because its theme is more alternative, not an urban film, a comedy, a historical film or a fantasy film, but an action movie. ”
"Action blockbusters have always been the benchmark for Hollywood movies, and action movies have been made in China, but none of them are commendable, so in the eyes of many people, director Luo Kai is obviously doing a thankless job, and few people are optimistic that he can win success, at most, it depends on fans to pay for his willfulness. ”
"When I sat in the audience in Hall 1 of Light and Shadow Cinemas, I had similar thoughts, I was worried that this film would consume all the goodwill that Luo Kai's previous film "Chasing the Murderer" brought me. ”
"But after 100 minutes, I realized I was wrong, very wrong..."
On the evening of October 1, the famous film critic "The Ferryman" published a film review article on his blog.
A film review of "Across the Seas", which has just been fully released in three places across the Taiwan Strait.
"Ferryman" is a special columnist for "Film Weekly", a professional film critic, and one of the members of the jury of the Golden Harvest Award, the highest film award in China.
The most important thing is that he has a very correct position and never writes advertorials or black text.
And the "Ferryman's" praise for "Across the Seas" surpassed "Chasing the Murderer": "It's really hard for me to imagine that such a wonderful movie was made by a rookie director, and the director debuted as a singer and has no director-related experience." ”
"The story of "Across the Seas" is very complete, the time span is more than 20 years, this movie interprets a love and hate between the children of the rivers and lakes, there are no major loopholes in the plot, although there are a few small bugs, but the flaws are not hidden, there are many bright spots, it is difficult to tell it completely in one article..."
"The Ferryman" conducted a comprehensive analysis of "Across the Seas", and the powerful thing is that there are not many spoilers in the article, which makes many people who see this film review can't help but have a desire to watch the movie, so that remarks such as "The Ferryman has also fallen @" appeared in the blog comment area.
But the audience's eyes are bright.
The pre-sale box office of "Across the Seas" reached 85 million on the 28th, 29th and 30th, and it was released simultaneously in China, Xiangjiang, Baodao and Aocheng on October 1, of which the domestic box office on the first day was as high as 120 million!
The first-day box office of "Speeding 3" was 145 million, 25 million higher than "Across the Seas", but the average schedule of the former was higher than that of "Across the Seas".
So from the perspective of the comparison between the film schedule and the box office, the two sides can be regarded as a tie.
The real battle is yet to come!

The second one is sent.
