52. Cool

On April 14th, Lin Haoran, the big shopkeeper, finally flew back from the United States, and a group of main creators gathered for the final discussion of tomorrow's premiere.

"Director, you are back, I thought you had wandered around the capitalist world for too long and forgotten about us toiling people. Zhang Yishan came up and began to play poor.

"That's it, I've been running propaganda lately, but I'm like an old scalper, saying that I'll catch up wherever I go, and I'm tired enough. Han Fei also complained.

Lin Haoran smiled, the flesh mole between his eyebrows was trembling, and said, "Okay, don't complain, I'll show you something." ”

"What's that?"

"Souvenirs?"

As he spoke, Lin Haoran took out a black and hard piece from the black briefcase, like a mini tombstone, with a red, white and blue clapperboard engraved on the surface, with a row of foreign yards at the bottom, and the last line said "SLAM-CHINA".

"Did you really win the prize?" Zhang Yishan snatched the strange trophy with his body, looking very excited, and kept rubbing against the place where the competa was engraved.

"Director, is this award so easy to win? Han Fei still didn't say too much, although in his heart he thought that this was a township enterprise award.

"This is the Best Family Movie award, and the gold content is really not high, because the Houston Film Festival has dozens of awards, but it is still awarded. Lin Haoran was not angry and explained carefully.

Han Fei took the trophy from Zhang Yishan's hand, looked at it over and over again, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, the TV series in which his buddy participated won the highest award in the field of Chinese TV dramas, which was so high that he didn't know where the American pheasant award was.

"Director, the premiere will be tomorrow, do you have any expectations for the box office?" Han Fei handed the trophy back to Lin Haoran, and then asked the key question.

Lin Haoran leaned back in his chair, and his tone was a little heavy: "I had the idea of making this movie because the Olympic Games were about to be held, and I wanted to take advantage of this trend, but there is a blank in the sports movie area in China, and I don't know if the audience can accept this type of movie." ”

Han Fei also nodded, and said eloquently: "Actually, I don't dare to have too much expectations for our movies, the process of professionalization and marketization of sports here has just begun, unlike the four major American leagues that were born in the fifties and sixties, and going to the stadium to watch the games of the four major leagues may become a part of American life, so Jordan's "Slam Dunk" can achieve a high box office." ”

Lin Haoran said again: "Your insights are very profound, so this can be regarded as a gamble, I chose you as the leading actor, maybe it will be a significant help to the box office through your fan appeal." ”

"Haha, you're joking, when it comes to the familiarity of fans, Yishan is a household name, you just find someone on the street and ask, who doesn't know Liu Xing. Han Fei excused himself with a smile, and then led the conversation to Zhang Yishan.

"Don't, I'm annoying, my name is Zhang Yishan, not Liu Xing, alas, I don't know what year and month I can ask for this title. Zhang Yishan shook his head, his expression looked very bitter, becoming famous at a young age is a double-edged sword, although it makes your name a household name, but the stereotype of the audience will also limit the development of your drama.

"Why are you in a hurry, just wait, the road is long. Han Fei was finally able to pretend to be old again, and patted Zhang Yishan on the shoulder with a smile.

Zhang Yishan looked up at Han Fei, with an expression that seemed to be teasing me, and said: "Cut, I am your predecessor in terms of debut, don't put on a score, Brother Fei." ”

"......" Han Fei smiled and said nothing.

"I had to contact the media, and I finally got an award, and I had to get the news out. Lin Haoran stood up and walked outside.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, which is not enough to describe the critical situation of the release of "Slam Dunk Duel" in this schedule, so Lin Haoran has to move some crooked ideas, regardless of the gold content of the award, there are gimmicks if there are awards, and then fool people first.

Liu Tianwang's "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" was released on April 3 and has now swiped nearly 40 million at the box office.

According to the news inquired by Lin Haoran, on April 24, the king of kung fu of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Liu Tianxian was released.

What's even more terrifying is the release of "Iron Man" on the 30th, others don't know, but Han Fei has a lot of B numbers in his heart, Marvel is dead and lost, but he relied on Downey's drama to make a beautiful turnaround, and since then, the Marvel universe has gradually grown.

Han Fei really wiped a handful of sweat on himself, this is completely purgatory-level difficulty, equivalent to you going to play football on the field field, who knows that there are Pele, Maradona, and Cruyff standing opposite, how can you play this special game? Give me the ball and I will go home.

He asked Lin Haoran why he chose to release it at this moment, who knew that the director said that it would be good to be qualified to get a theater release, where is there a schedule for you to pick and choose, thinking of this, Han Fei sang a song "Cool Cool" to himself.

……

On April 15th, it was sunny, whether it was looking forward to it or being afraid, the day finally came.

In a certain cinema in the imperial capital, Lin Haoran held a small pre-screening press conference, and it can be seen from the disdainful looks of the theater staff that there is a high probability that this film will hit the street, and what media should be invited, it is better to not give the money for publicity to the main creator.

There is a long table in front, Lin Haoran sits in the middle, Han Fei and Zhang Yishan are on both sides of the guard, and some posters are erected on the right hand, which are printed with a group photo of the three boys and a single photo, and the huge bold text at the bottom "This film won the Best Family Movie Award at the 41st Houston International Film Festival".

More than a dozen media came scattered, if it weren't for the car and horse fees, it was not uncommon for people to come, it is said that "The King of Kung Fu" has begun to split the world and publicity, so quickly finish the scene here and go to another place to fight local tyrants.

"Hello director, why did you choose to shoot a sports-themed movie in China, which is completely deserted in the domestic film industry. ”

Lin Haoran said: "I want to be the first person to eat crabs, and take the opportunity to pay attention to the Olympics with my full name, I want to make more people pay attention to sports through this movie, and I also hope that more sports movies will appear." ”

"As far as I know, this schedule is full of heroes, don't you think the situation of this movie is precarious?"

Lin Haoran nodded and said: "Yes, the situation is very grim, but it is rare to have a few opportunities in life for small shrimp to fight big sharks, this movie tells the story of friendship and family affection with basketball, I think it will resonate with some people, and in the end, whether it is the mantis arm blocking the car or David defeating Goliath, it is up to the audience to vote." ”

The gang then asked Zhang Yishan a few questions, but they still relied on "Family with Children", and the stalks were old-fashioned, but apart from this stalk, there was no news to dig into Zhang Yishan.

"This is your big screen debut, what do you expect from yourself?" a reporter asked Han Fei.

Han Fei's posture was very low, and said: "I am just a recruit in this industry, I dare not have high expectations, no matter what the result is, it is a valuable experience for me to develop in the future." ”

"You're a talent singer, won't you worry that your acting skills can't support the actor of a movie?"

"Although I participated in the audition, I have another identity, I am a student of the 07 class of the film school, and I have won the Feitian Award for another TV series I participated in, and I don't think my acting skills will make the audience uncomfortable. ”

The media asked some innocuous questions, and in the end, they couldn't dig out anything from these people, so they simply ended the interview.

At ten o'clock, "Slam Dunk Showdown" finally started its first screening, the theater was really not optimistic about this movie, the amount of filming was very small, and only one hall and two small halls were given on the first day, and there were only five films scheduled in total.

Even if "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" has been scolded, the theater manager refuses to give an extra screen to "Slam Dunk Showdown", no way, on one side the male number one is Liu Tianwang, and on the other hand the male number one is Han, what is Han, I can't remember the name, can this be compared?

Han Fei scratched his head, is it really cold this time?
