Chapter 262: An Unstoppable Audio-Visual Feast (5000 Words Chapter!)
"Good afternoon, dear audience and friends, I am Zhou Bai, a reporter from Tengxun, and now we are on the North Road of the Workers' Gymnasium in the East Second Ring Road, and in front of us is the premiere location of today's "Shocking Demon Thieves". ”
"Now that we can already hear the cheers of the fans in front of us, and there are fans walking in the direction of Gongti, now let's interview a random audience. ”
Zhou Bai glanced at both sides and walked towards a girl who came from the right.
"Hello, are you here for the premiere of the movie?"
The girl looked at them twice, stroked the long hair on the side of her face at the camera lens, and smiled slightly, "Are there any movies that have been released recently, I just watched "Red Cliff", the movie is very good, Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu are too handsome, but Xiao Qiao is not worthy of him, and Li Ji's makeup is too scary." ”
The girl said and showed her skin to the camera, "Zhao Yun is not handsome enough, Hu Jun should play Zhang Fei." ”
"Needless to say, my friend is still waiting for me in Sanlitun. ”
As soon as the girl finished speaking, she smiled charmingly at the photographer, and left with her bag twisted and twisted.
"Brother Zhou, you see she smiled at me. ”
The photographer was a young man, and the girl on this hot day was dressed very coolly, and this glance made him blush, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Laugh at your size, it's your camera that is crooked, aimed at people. ”
Zhou Bai scolded with a smile, and then found a man, but he also went to Sanlitun.
It's only a few o'clock, and I'll go to the bar.
"By the way, Brother Zhou, why did she just talk about Xiao Qiao and Li Ji, I don't think Zhao Wei's Sun Shangxiang is good-looking. ”
"You are stupid, is Zhao Wei as beautiful as her. ”
The photographer boy thought, "Oh, I see. ”
Fortunately, I caught a few fans and fans who went to watch the stars on the spot, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
After interviewing the surroundings for a while and looking at the time, Zhou Bai took the photographer to the stadium.
"There are so many people, at least a few thousand. ”
At least there were posters everywhere as far as the eye could see, and neon lights flashed inside the venue.
"Go, go in. ”
Entering from one side of the passage to the edge of the red carpet on the other side, stars from all walks of life competed with each other, and fans who had twice shouted the names of their idols frantically, holding honor cards in their hands.
Fan Binbin, Zou Xun, Zhao Wei, Li Binbin, Xu Jinglei, Wang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Zhang Hanyu......
"Basically, everyone is here!"
It was too late to sigh, took a vantage point, and began to shoot.
After about half an hour, the entrance suddenly erupted in even louder cheers.
The Lord is coming!
All the reporters at the scene instantly cheered up.
"Let's go to the front. ”
Zhou Bai knew that Tang An walked the red carpet quickly, so he went to the interview area in advance to wait.
However, Tang An was on his home turf this time, and fans all came to watch his movies, so they stayed on the red carpet for a while.
While walking and signing autographs, the red carpet of more than 100 meters walked for more than a minute.
Call!
The ears finally became much quieter, and Tang An took Tang Yan and continued to walk forward, dealing with reporters.
Zhou Bai, who occupied a favorable position, was the first to speak.
"Director Tang, congratulations on the release of your new film, "Red Cliff" broke 100 million in four days in the first weekend, under such great pressure, how much box office do you think "Shocking Demon Thieves" can get in the first week?"
"The box office is decided by the audience, and I can only do my best to make wonderful movies for the audience. Tang An smiled slightly.
"Director Tang before, you predicted that the box office of "Red Cliff" on the first day would be 25 million, which is not much different from the facts, so how much do you think the box office of "Shocking Demon Thieves" can be on the first day?"
Tang An was no longer able to complain, Wu Bo, the old boy, told reporters on the second day of the premiere that he predicted 25 million on the first day of "Red Cliff", as if he couldn't find him to compensate.
As a result, it was more than 24 million the next day, and when he was interviewed, he didn't mention Tang An's good vision, and he praised Wu Yusen there.
"20 million, hopefully that number. ”
Tang An cautiously reported a number, hoping that he would not be slapped in the face.
However, what the reporters thought was: I hope I can slap my face the day after tomorrow!
silently remembered in the small book in his heart, if there were no 20 million, they would not have sprayed Tang An to death.
And "Red Cliff" is being screened, and "Shocking Demon Thieves" is not without opponents.
"According to the predictions of relevant institutions, "Red Cliff" is likely to become the first film in the mainland to break through the 300 million mark, does Director Tang think "Shocking Demon Thieves" can reach this number?"
"Our goal is 300 million, and I am confident that we will achieve this achievement. Tang An said confidently.
It's hard to say about the box office on the first day, after all, it's not like "Red Cliff" had no opponent when it was released, and it came out early the day after tomorrow, if you blow 30 million, you will be slapped in the face soon.
Although 300 million is not guaranteed, it is not too bad, and the movie is about to be drawn by then, and I am not afraid of being slapped in the face.
The interview lasted for a while, and then Deng Chao and the others followed, answering a few questions from the reporter.
I struggled for half an hour before I walked to the field.
"Han Dong, you're here. ”
"Hello Yu Dong. ”
"Hello Wu Dong. ”
"Hello Dong Dong. ”
took the crew to say hello one by one, and the CEOs and senior executives of several major companies arrived.
The premiere ceremony has still become an opportunity for Huayi's stars to show, and half an hour has passed.
The show on the stage is very boring, but the thousands of viewers behind them find it very interesting, even if they don't know a few stars at all.
"Han Dong, "Red Cliff" broke 100 million in four days, but it set a record. ”
Tang An leaned over to Han Sanping next to him and smiled.
"Director Tang's film is not difficult to break 100 million in four days, but the propaganda offensive is much stronger. Han Sanping said with a smile.
Han Dong said with a smile, it is unlikely to break 100 million in four days, and more than 80 million is very good. Tang An smiled.
Han Sanping glanced at him and sighed, "Yes, the two movies were released together, squeezing each other's space, if it is placed in the Chinese New Year file, it is not a problem to break 100 million in 4 days." ”
Gotcha, it's back to the schedule.
Tang An smiled helplessly, "This is not what Wang Dong requested, just to catch up with the release at this time, I slept in the company every day, and I lost almost 10 pounds." ”
Han Sanping smiled noncommittally.
Now that "Red Cliff" is a big hit, even if there is one more "Shocking Demon Thieves", there is hope to break 300 million.
If "Shocking Demon Thieves" can withstand the pressure of "Red Cliff" and get 200 million, or even 300 million box office, then the market of the entire summer file will once again reach a new height.
600 million, 700 million, and even more!
This is exactly what Han Sanping wants to see, and now he wants to see "Shocking Demon Thieves" continue to succeed.
Soon the show ended, and the host of the premiere took the stage.
Beijing TV, Guangxian, and Movie Channel each sent a host.
Tang An led the production team to the stage amid the applause of the audience.
"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure for everyone to come to the premiere of my new film "Amazing Demon Thieves" on this wonderful night......"
Several actors also briefly introduced themselves.
Sit down with your legs crossed in turn. Tu Wei of the movie channel asked first.
He smiled and said, "Director Tang, you have whetted everyone's appetite before every movie is released, and every time it is a new genre, it is unpredictable." ”
Tang An pretended to be surprised and said, "How could it be? Actually, I think my name should be quite appropriate, "Shark Beach" is about sharks on the beach, and "Horror Cruise" is a horror story that happened on a cruise ship. ”
"Super Body" better explains that the only thing that can be guessed about a body with superpowers may be "The Wind". ”
"Now the literal meaning of this "Shocking Demon Thieves" is easy to understand, a theft team, a team that uses magic to steal, and the case is still earth-shattering. ”
Hehe, you explained it so well.
But who would have thought that if you haven't seen the movie, isn't this just based on the answer!
"That means that the four of them played a gang of thieves, judging from the previous trailer, the money robbed from the bank was spilled in the performance hall, and the four of them didn't take it, is it similar to a role like a grand thief?"
Xie Yan, the host sent by Guangxian, then said curiously.
Tang An nodded, "They have classic rogue elements on them, just like the ancient Yizhimei, the foreign Robin Hood." That's why people like them, they're not just jugglers, they're people with a social conscience.
"Otherwise, if they just go around robbing and amusing themselves, they will become real robbers, lawless and undisciplined. ”
"In the movie, every theft they make is purposeful and not for their own profit. ”
......
"There are a lot of magic tricks in the movie, are they doing it themselves?"
"Of course, for the sake of this film, several of them have been in contact with magic for several months in advance. ”
"Can you put on a show, and let's open our eyes first. ”
As the male protagonist, Deng Chao of course took the poker prepared by the staff and began to perform fancy shuffling.
Overlapping shuffle, pigeon tail shuffle, three-fold cut card, waterfall card, and the moves of the meeting were all performed.
"Next, it's a technique that you often see in movies, keep your eyes open. ”
Deng Chao smiled mysteriously at the audience, and the cards were stretched and compressed like latte art with the opening and closing of his hands, making a sound of "brushing".
"Wow!"
"That's cool!"
", this trick is often seen in "God of Gamblers"!"
The audience was stunned by Deng Chao's methods, and scenes that could only be seen in movies in the past now appeared in front of them.
If you look closely, it turns out that the cards are bouncing from one hand to the other, as if they are pulling ramen.
Even the host was shocked and looked incredible.
"Is this true, is there a mechanism for playing cards?"
Tu Wei took the poker and touched it twice, only to determine that it was the same as an ordinary playing card, but there were some slight differences in thickness and hardness.
"It's true, I always thought the cards were all connected. ”
"I also deliberately practiced magic for filming, which is called dedication!"
"Every time you make a movie, you learn a skill, and you won't starve to death later. ”
What is the quality of the movie, you can see one or two from the attitude of the director and actors, and you can learn magic in order to make a movie, which is enough to make the audience trust.
Half an hour later, the movie officially began.
The lights in the stadium suddenly dimmed, and then the big screen in the center of the stage slowly lit up.
Everyone also cheered up and enjoyed the movie seriously.
At the beginning of the movie, there is a handsome little guy, playing with the playing cards in his hand in front of the mirror.
Deng Chao is actually quite handsome, it's fun when it's cheap, and it's good when he's serious.
"The more you think you see, the closer you see, but the less you see......"
"Because the more you think and the more you watch, the easier it is to be deceived......"
A line with a deep meaning.
Then a card flew out of the palm of the left hand, and the four fingers of the right hand were held side by side, which was a jack of hearts.
After snapping his fingers, he instantly turned into the ace of hearts.
The opening scene is a little magic, although it is ordinary, but with that mysterious line, it can be regarded as attracting the audience's attention.
Then Deng Chao performed magic tricks on the street at night, when the skyscraper behind him turned into the one that the audience fancied.
"I'll go, this trick is amazing!"
"It's really a cube seven!"
"What's this, the building must have been bought. ”
"No, think about the deck of cards that Deng Chao quickly turned over just now, which one can you remember?"
"Damn, I only seem to remember a square seven!"
"Really, it seems like the longest time I've been on block seven. ”
The camera slowly rises, and the entire building and the small half of the city are in the frame.
Then the camera shifts to Aomen, Liu Ye is performing mind reading, and this trailer has been let go.
However, what the trailer doesn't appear is that a man in a hooded sweatshirt is watching the scene outside.
Immediately afterwards, Deng Kai took away other people's wallets and watches on the cruise ship, and accidentally bumped into the man in the hooded sweatshirt when he escaped.
The next magic trick is Yuken, who performs escape magic.
Dead so soon?
The audience began to realize that Tang Yan was bitten to death by a piranha in the trailer was fake, and they widened their eyes without missing a single detail.
Everything is the same as in the trailer, with bright red blood spilling out of the tank.
Even though it's been seen a few times, some timid viewers can't help but look away.
Tang Yan really didn't die, just when the onlookers were panicking, she suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowd.
And a man in a hooded sweatshirt appeared again in the crowd.
Now even the most stupid people know that there is something wrong with that person, and they all guess who it is.
The answer was quickly given, and the other three all found a playing card from their pockets and wrote a location.
It was Deng Chao who summoned them, and a financier asked him to perform a magic trick to promote his insurance company.
Through a short conversation, the four of them met when they were not well-known before.
The plot advanced to the scene of robbing the bank, and there was a plot that did not appear in the trailer and was not shown to the audience when it was filmed in Gongti.
Just when the money in the vault was blown up by the wind, the general manager of the bank, who was about to leave work, received a call and immediately rushed to the vault with the security guard.
The screen switches back and forth between inside and outside the vault.
"Did you find out?"
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they subconsciously believed that they were really robbing a bank more than 2,000 kilometers away.
The door of the vault slowly opened, and the moment the door was opened, the audience's hearts rose to their throats.
But the vault was empty, only the signed playing card.
"Isn't it true that the robbery was successful more than 2,000 meters away?" someone muttered incredulously.
"Although filming can be filmed separately, if you want to have a reasonable explanation in the movie, it can only be like this!"
"Hurry up and uncover the mystery, I've seen such a magical magic trick for the first time. ”
The audience is looking forward to the next plot more and more.
The sky is full of money and rain, and the feeling of watching on a large screen more than ten meters high is completely different from watching it on a computer.
It's not as shocking as the scene, but it's enough.
The suspense didn't last long, and the magic trick revealed the answer to the audience as the magic trickster played by Wu Gang.
It turned out that the vault was under the stage, and the man didn't cross over, but just fell underground.
And the money in the bank vault has been manipulated by the four of them, and it has been turned into counterfeit money, and it will automatically burn for a fixed period of time.
But how did they know it had to be this bank, and that signed poker card?
New questions have resurfaced in the minds of the audience.
One after another, one after another, one link after another, makes the audience want to stop.
It's like running into a broken dog!
This question didn't wait too long, and it was immediately answered in the movie.
The four of them stalked, hypnotized, and hinted for a long time to get the man to travel to Omen at that time and come to watch the magic show.
robbed the bank, or in full view, and now Interpol came to arrest someone.
However, there was no use for eggs, no evidence, and they were released again.
Then came the second magic trick, and all the money of the insurance tycoon was transferred to the accounts of the audience.
The police came to arrest people again, and Deng Kai's car overturned and exploded during the escape.
The second half was almost entirely about magic, with the roofs of the tallest buildings in the heart of Singapore filled with people and 3D projections of the floors.
Several of them jumped down from a 600-meter-tall building, and their bodies turned into a large pile of banknotes in the air, which fell in the wind.
In the end, Wu Gang was framed and imprisoned, and when Deng Chao visited him, he told him that the man who drowned in the river due to an accident 20 years ago was his father.
Deng Chao also confessed his plan to the other three and received the understanding of his companions.
Liao Fan, who had already seen through the whole incident, found them alone and told them that he would definitely find evidence to bring them to justice.
At 100 minutes later, the movie is over.
"Papa......"
An audio-visual feast that could not be stopped at all made all the audience, including industry insiders and celebrities on the scene, spontaneously applaud.
The applause of thousands of people echoed in the stadium, slowly drifting into the distance, spreading farther and farther.
Tang An took the stage again to express his gratitude to the audience.
No one heard, and two men in the middle of the crowd were talking to each other.
"How's it going, what flaws do you see?"
"It's hard to say, it's all revealed in the movie, let's go back and study it again. ”
