Chapter 194: The Premiere Begins (Part I)
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!"
The hostess began to host on stage with a smile in her eyes, she was the host specially invited for this premiere, and she was also a very famous host, Wei Wei, the leading hostess of Beijing Satellite TV.
"Today is the premiere of director Xu Shun's film "The Secret Case of the Palace", and there are many friends in the industry at the scene, including famous directors, gold medal producers, and of course, many big-name celebrities, and the most important is of course our enthusiastic audience. So everyone cares so much about this movie, what's so special about this movie? Let's let our director Xu Shun tell me one by one!"
After Wei Wei finished speaking, she motioned for Xu Shun to step forward, and took a microphone handed over by a staff member, and handed it to Xu Shun, who took two steps forward.
"Ahem~ Good evening everyone! I'm Xu Shun!"
"Hahaha......"
Xu Shun usually looks quite able to speak, but in this kind of public occasion, he looks a little restrained, and he doesn't look like a big director at all. When the people in the audience saw him like this, everyone let out a burst of good-natured laughter, which relieved Xu Shun's nervousness.
I've been through this many times, but every time it comes to the release of my movie, I'm nervous. Some people may think that my mental quality is not good, but in fact, I am really not good at mental quality, but after more experience, I will not be as consistent as I was.
So what is it for?
I once summed it up myself, and then I figured it out, and that's because I have always had a heart of awe for movies and audiences!
Why?
Many people say that film is art, and we must have a heart of awe when it comes to real art. Although I don't fully agree with this statement, I think it's right. I don't dare to say how good the movies I have made are, but I have always been in awe, I am afraid that after the audience has seen what I made, they will scold me for making a pair of shit!
In fact, I personally believe that the art of film is the technology that turns a story into sound, light and pictures. If you can't understand what you shoot, then you can't be art. I always believe that a good director is a storyteller.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to like what every director makes, but at least it must be liked by most people?......"
Xu Shun may have said that he was addicted, and he said more than ten points freely, all of which were his understanding of film art, but he didn't mention the movie he made this time. Wei Wei, who was already standing beside him with a straight smile, had to find a break between his words.
"Director Xu, what you said is so good! I think we, the fans, are really lucky to have a director who is so serious and responsible for filming as you. So can you tell us a little bit about the story you made this time?"
Although Xu Shun will go up as soon as he talks about film art, he is not blindsided, and when he heard the reminder of the host Wei Wei, he also reacted and began to introduce this movie.
"What is told in this "Palace Secret Case"...... So this story is very close, and there is a very exciting fight plot, and the use of special special effects is also very good, I hope it will bring you a good viewing experience. ”
Finally, when Xu Shun finished introducing the movie, twenty minutes have passed now. The originally scheduled one-hour pre-viewing interview may now be overtimed, and this time shows the skills of a professional host.
Under the auspices of the host Wei Wei, the interaction between the main creators of the crew and the audience was completed very vividly and excitingly.
"Well, we thank the main creators of the crew, and now it's time to watch the movie. I think Director Xu's movie will definitely bring you a pleasant viewing process!" After Wei Wei finished speaking, she walked off the stage with the main creators of the crew.
Wang Bao accompanied Zhang Zichen to sit in the audience all the time, and everyone in the stands had witty words and interacted with the audience very chicly. He is still very envious of this kind of highlight moment, thinking that one day, he will also stand on the stage, instead of just being a spectator off the stage like now.
Zhang Zichen may have sensed some of Wang Bao's thoughts, reached out and held Wang Bao's hand, and then looked at him warmly and encouragingly. Wang Bao felt the encouragement and care of his fiancée, smiled and nodded to her, indicating that he was fine.
As everyone on the stage went down, the lights in the entire theater began to slowly go out, leaving only the screen still on. Suddenly, the screen went black, and then there was an impatient drum beat in the auditorium stereo, and then the music started and the screen lit up again.
A majestic hall appears on the screen, and then the camera is elongated, slowly revealing a panoramic view, and a majestic palace appears in the camera.
Then, in the midst of a rush of music, there was a sound of footsteps. A person appeared in the camera, he was the character played by Zhang Yan, who was trotting all the way to the hall on the road of the palace.
This is the beginning of the story, because of a secret case, a series of stories have been triggered.
The editing style of the whole movie is very messy, the story structure is also very tight, and the narrative technique is multi-line and parallel, which makes people dazzled. During the whole viewing, if you relax a little, you may miss the wonderful shots and plots. So this movie can be said to be pee-free throughout the whole process, which makes people both nervous and exciting to watch.
Wang Bao's scenes in the movie are three or two minutes, and there are not many lines. But no matter his performances or martial arts fights, they were all exciting, leaving a deep impression on the audience and the crowd.
For Wang Bao, a star who is now famous and popular, many people are very concerned. Especially some reporters and film critics, they don't just come to watch movies, they want to find news points, find all kinds of breaking points.
For Xu Shun's movies, they can't jump out of trouble for the time being, after all, a famous director is a famous director, and his storytelling ability is really not ordinarily strong. Even if it is this kind of old-fashioned story, Xu Shun has a different feeling, and it will not be boring or boring at all.
Then these people can only stare at these actors. The two leading actors are almost impossible to find faults, not the performances are perfect, but they are also above the standard. The acting skills of the other leading actors are also online, so everyone is staring at Wang Bao, who is popular.
Although he is a newcomer?
For Wang Bao, who was born as a singer, although he has already acted in two TV series, it can be regarded as a small proof of his acting skills, he is not the kind of person who is a traffic student and has no acting skills at all. But TV series and movies are completely different things, because they are the relationship between the big screen, even a small flaw will be infinitely magnified.
But after watching Wang Bao's performance, they unexpectedly found that although Wang Bao's acting skills were not explosive, they were also pleasantly surprised to be above the level. In fact, this is very rare, because in the eyes of the public, Wang Bao is not from a professional class, he is a newcomer in the wilderness. It's really good to be able to have such a performance in a movie for the first time.
Especially his fighting performance, it is really remarkable, and I can't tell that this person used to be a cook.
If you can't find the shortcomings, then you can only look for the advantages, after all, he is popular now! So these people are already thinking about the news headlines in their minds, what "the newcomer Wang has explosive acting skills!", "That wonderful fight, it turned out to be a cook" and other eye-catching headlines will become their first choice.
The movie slowly progressed under the different minds of each person, and there were few other sounds in the entire theater except for the sound from the stereo. Everyone watched the movie intently, and there was an occasional sound or two of drinking water, and it was obvious that people were attracted by the excitement of the movie.
When the ending song sounds, the acknowledgment sheet appears, and the auditorium begins to slowly light up. The main creative staff of the film's crew took the stage again and began to prepare for the appreciation after watching the movie.
Zhang Zichen took Wang Bao's hand with some excitement and said, "Xiaobao, the acting is really good, especially in that fight, it has the demeanor of a kung fu star!"
Looking at his fiancée with an excited face and a smile on her face, Wang Bao was also a little proud. But he still said modestly: "Where am I now! Haven't you seen Zhang Yan and Xiaoni's acting skills?
When Zhang Zichen heard Wang Bao say this, she didn't quite agree, so she retorted: "How can you compare with them! They are all from professional classes, and they have all acted in dramas for so many years. And you're different, it's your first time acting in a movie, and you can have this kind of performance, that's really amazing. ”
Wang Bao was quite happy when he heard her say this, after all, everyone wants to be praised.
At this time, the stage had finished thanking, and everyone began to leave. But they can't go straight away, because there is also a dinner party, which is an opportunity for the organizers to prepare for everyone. After all, with so many people in the circle, this is also a rare opportunity to expand your network.
So after everyone left, they all got in the car and went to the dinner venue.
In the process of exiting, some people Wang Bao knew came to congratulate him and said some things that he acted well and performed very well. Although Wang Bao knew that some people were not necessarily telling the truth, he also greeted them with a smile on their faces, and then humbly thanked them back.
When they came to the banquet hall, Wang Bao and Zhang Zichen first greeted Xu Shun, and then they were pulled by Yan Xiaoni and began to get to know people non-stop.
Yan Xiaoni has been in the film industry for more than ten years, and she really knows a lot of people. Although Zhang Zichen is also good at this, there is really a difference between the TV industry and the film industry, and most of the people she knows are in the TV circle.
Wang Bao and Zhang Zichen also knew that Yan Xiaoni had good intentions, so they kept following her back and forth, and they really knew some people. There are a few people who can still cooperate with one or two, which is a big gain.
Later, at the end of the dinner, Xu Shun took a person to find Wang Bao and said that he wanted to talk to him about a very important matter.
