On December 10, at the premiere of "Twelve Warriors", all the audience was silent.

After the film screening, the audience was silent for 5 minutes.

Only the high-spirited and determined ending song is still lingering in the theater.

During the film, except for the beginning of the entry and exit of people, soon no one got up again.

Before the film began, no one thought that they would be shocked by a single-scene art film and be drawn to the point of being inextricably linked.

Godard once said: A film only needs a daughter and a gun, and it is enough.

But the whole film of "Twelve Warriors" does not have any female and violent scenes.

The movie does not even show the trial process of the case, but through the narration of twelve jurors, a seemingly conclusive but suspicious case is completely presented to the audience.

To be in an enclosed space, relying only on the dialogue and interaction of twelve men, to create a strong dramatic conflict, let the audience be fascinated and indulge for more than 90 minutes. This requires a very high level of ability from directors, screenwriters, and actors.

The plot content of "Twelve Warriors" is full of rational and speculative power, entering from a small incision, peeling off all the details of the case through the discussion of the jurors, little by little to restore to the audience. Then, in front of the audience, they overturned all the clues one by one.

And the audience, from beginning to end, doesn't know anything about the twelve jurors, their families, jobs, experiences, and even names, but by the end of the movie, you feel like you know these twelve people, as if they live right next to you.

Although the plot of the movie is very simple, it is like an elder who is very good at storytelling, and he will lead you into a lot of thoughts.

In the end·· Is preface, righteousness, and righteousness important, or is the truth important?

Should there be a jury system?

Why does the state spend so much of its resources on people who might be murderers and criminals, so that they can get the fairest possible justice?

All the audience is stumped by these questions, entering the atmosphere of the movie, unable to extricate themselves.

Until the end of the movie, the opinions of all the jurors finally reached an agreement, and Peng Yichen put on a coat for Zhao Jianguo, who was still arguing with him just now.

The rain stopped, and all the jurors joined the crowd like all ordinary people.

……

It wasn't until all the subtitles on the big screen were scrolled that the oppressive atmosphere in the venue finally broke out. All the audience stood up, and their enthusiasm was completely condensed into applause at this moment, which shook the entire theater with a shaky feeling.

Peng Yichen sat in his place and did not get up.

His heart turned a thousand times, and he didn't know what it was like for a while.

This is not the first time he has watched this movie, he has watched it at least a dozen times since the editing was completed. But actually sitting in the movie screening room, watching the audience be moved by his own films, because of his own performance, this kind of viewing experience is something he has never experienced.

Through the reactions of these audiences, Peng Yichen saw something that is difficult to see as a director and actor.

Movies, especially classics, tend to think of a hundred flower pools.

It not only carries the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the director, screenwriter and actors, but also condenses every emotional change of the audience.

Watching the same movie in different moods can reveal a lot of things that you didn't find before.

A good film is like an old wine, and the older it gets, the more fragrant it becomes.

In a trance, Peng Yichen remembered why he loved movies and acting so much.

Because it can convey people's inner emotions, positive and negative, deep and shallow, complex and simple, all of which are true.

The applause in the ears slowly stopped, and many media only reacted at this time, and on the subtitles at the end of the film just now, the director and screenwriter column clearly wrote Peng Yichen's name.

In addition to the first time, his name can also be found in the list of behind-the-scenes staff such as editors and soundtracks.

At this time, they recalled the classic movie they had just watched that was immortal, it turned out to be shot by such a 21-year-old idol star, and everyone looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to react to.

Peng Yichen sat on the chair, excited and timid, he didn't dare to look back at the audience, because he was afraid of seeing the disappointed expressions of the audience, and he was afraid that he would destroy this classic movie.

After the applause, his stiff body slowly warmed up.

But after the applause, there was silence again, which made Peng Yichen's heart pinch again. His emotions were like riding a roller coaster, up and down, and he couldn't settle down.

He suppressed the nervousness in his heart, slowly stood up, and walked onto the stage with all the actors and crew present.

Under the soft light in the theater, Peng Yichen saw unfamiliar faces with similar emotions: surprise.

It was not his imaginary dissatisfaction and disgust, nor his excitement and happiness, but his astonishment.

No one can equate the upright and tenacious middle-aged juror in the movie with the handsome and handsome hairy boy in front of him.

The person on the big screen seems to have gone through the vicissitudes of life, mature and stable, but the young man outside the screen is sunny, handsome, handsome and extraordinary.

This is the charm of movies, which makes people both real and illusory, and can't tell the truth from the fake.

After everyone confirmed that Peng Yichen's appearance was indeed very similar to the character in the movie, he was relieved, and the explosive applause once again filled the entire theater.

can make these discerning media, film critics, and company executives so excited and admired, and the kind of realistic speculation and wisdom of "Twelve Warriors" is indispensable.

At this moment, Peng Yichen felt that his heart had finally fallen into a soft spring bed, and an inexplicable emotion surged into his eyes, making his eyes moisten slightly.

This is not bitterness, not pride, not gratification, not excitement, this is happiness, and the applause and affirmation of the audience are the best gifts for filmmakers.

Peng Yichen stood there, a little at a loss, so he could only keep agitating his hands and applauding with everyone at the scene, venting the happiness in his heart.

"Director Peng, it's your turn to come forward and greet the audience. It was the first time that Zhao Jianguo called Director Peng Yichen so solemnly.

Peng Yichen then remembered that as the director of the film, he wanted to thank all the guests and audiences present on behalf of the crew.

He silently walked to the center of the stage, took a deep breath, and recalled many things in his mind, but it seemed that he couldn't remember anything.

Exhaling deeply, Peng Yichen bowed deeply, straightened up and looked up at everyone in the audience.

This feeling is completely different from the feeling of walking on the red carpet, it is like being seen through by everyone all over his body, and the embarrassment and excitement make Peng Yichen really unable to adapt.

Once again, he confirmed that he was really not fit to be a star, and he didn't like the feeling of being in the limelight, especially when these people were not his men.

Peng Yichen ...... Director, why didn't Hui Min Film and Television announce that you were the director and screenwriter of the movie before the movie was released?"

This was the most wanted question from all the media at the scene, and the first reporter who was called up to ask the question really asked.

Peng Yichen chuckled, "Well, I think if everyone had known the news, I'm afraid the theater would be empty today." ”

His teasing caused a chuckle to burst into laughter.

When the laughter disappeared, the expression on Peng Yichen's face became serious.

"As Juror No. 8, played by me at the end of "Twelve Warriors", said, in our lives, prejudice is often unavoidable, and many truths are obscured by prejudice. I think the reason why the company doesn't promote the director and screenwriter is that it doesn't want a good movie to be overshadowed by prejudice. ”

Peng Yichen skillfully answered the reporter's questions with the lines in his movie, and also won another applause from the audience.

"What do you think about many media outlets calling you 'a man who is famous for his reputation with women and eats soft rice'?" The next reporter to ask the question is from Southeast Entertainment Pictorial, the largest gossip entertainment newspaper in China.

Peng Yichen spread his hands and said with a helpless smile, "I hope Yu Jing will not be dragged down by me, a newcomer in the entertainment industry." ”

He answered the questions wittily, with a little self-deprecation and humor, not only did not make people feel that he was weak, but let everyone see his generosity and confidence.

The audience laughed again. Yu Jing, who was standing at the bottom of the stage, rolled his eyes cooperatively, and made a mouth shape of "I'll clean you up when I go home".

Peng Yichen looked at Yu Jing's playful appearance, laughed happily, and said loudly, "Haha, that's all for today's media questions, if I continue to talk about it, I'm afraid that I will have to kneel on the washboard when I go home." ”

When the audience heard this, they finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, Yu Jing smiled shyly a little embarrassedly, a little woman like her is not common, and all the reporters rushed over with flashing lights.

At this point, the premiere of "Twelve Warriors" came to a successful end.

……

Before the release of the film, most of the media was not optimistic about the work, and the negative remarks about the failure of the film almost occupied a one-sided advantage in the media.

But it is precisely because everyone does not have much expectation for this movie, so after entering the cinema, the surprise is particularly huge.

The media interviews after the premiere were a great one, and all the critics and guests present were very satisfied with the experience.

But the atmosphere of the scene is one thing, and the media comments afterwards are another.

Moreover, the film still has to be tested by the general audience in order to truly know whether the market accepts such a 'literary film'.

So whether the movie will succeed or fail is still unknown.

Early the next morning, because the movie was released last night, Peng Yichen, who hadn't slept well all night, yawned a little tiredly, washed himself quickly, and pulled Huang Bo, who was still sleeping, to the company.

He knew that at this time, the company's publicity and distribution department must have collected media reviews and box office statistics, and he wanted to know as soon as possible what kind of evaluation his film could get from the media and the audience.

Although Huang Bo also participated in the filming of the movie, he is not a director after all, so he naturally can't understand Peng Yichen's anxiety, but feels a little funny.

In fact, he has been comforting Peng Yichen last night, and the media comments will definitely be very good, because the premiere effect is particularly good, there is no need to worry at all, but no amount of comfort can soothe the tension in Peng Yichen's heart.

The two of them left home and took a taxi when they left the community, and now Peng Yichen is also a celebrity, and it is still a little risky to squeeze the bus and take the subway. So they had to upgrade and take a taxi instead.

When he arrived at the company, Peng Yichen pulled Huang Bo directly into the publicity and distribution department.

As soon as I entered, I saw Wang Xiang, the department manager of the publicity and distribution department, standing there flipping through the report, with a stack of newspapers and magazines in his hand.

Taking a deep breath, Peng Yichen opened his mouth and asked, "The box office statistics and media comments have come out?"
