Chapter Seventy-Six: The Premiere Ceremony
"I didn't expect you to be quite popular. ”
got off the stage, listening to the shouts behind him, Wan Qian said to Mu Ming teasingly.
"Of course, I'm also a best-selling novel author, okay, fans don't bring millions of dollars to buy. Mu Ming pretended not to care, but her voice was just a little trilling.
For the first time in my life, my name was shouted out by so many people in public, still with joy and support. Meow a mi, a little excited, be careful of the liver plop.
It's not the same as the message of support you see on the Internet, or the feeling you feel at a book signing. Although Mu Ming will also be excited at those times, there is always a kind of person who everyone talks better in the same circle, but because he tells everyone a good story, he will be more popular.
But today is different, this is a new and strange place, a place where countless outsiders come and go. But here, there are still such a group of people who support you and like you.
It's a completely different mood. It's like walking five kilometers in the snow in the winter and then walking into your home.
So Mu Ming, who had just heard her name being called, was a little stunned on stage, stunned for two or three seconds before bowing in the direction of the voice, and after standing up straight, she stupidly compared scissor hands for a long time, and then thought of stepping down.
Wan Qian naturally heard Mu Ming's insincerity, pursed her lips, and said, "How do you feel?"
"Feel......" Mu Ming turned her head sideways and thought about it, and the corners of her mouth hooked: "Feel...... Not bad. ”
After the main creative team, what came out were all stars who helped stand on the field. Teng Huatao and Wen Zhang, who have been in the circle for so many years, have a wide range of contacts, and easily pulled over the top 100 celebrities.
Like Mr. He and Xie Na, these two have a good relationship with Wen Zhang, as well as Liu Yun, Xiong Naijin, Gan Wei, the "sister group" that has not yet fallen out, and Zhang Yibai, directors in the circle, although they have been ridiculing Teng Huatao before, they still came to express their support at the premiere.
"Eh, that's not Huayi's...... That ......" Mu Ming had already sat down in her seat, and suddenly heard a commotion from the media area, turned her head to look, and just saw a middle-aged man with a familiar face coming to the stage, but she couldn't remember what it was called for a while, so she turned around and asked Wan Qian in the back row in a low voice.
"Wang Zhonglei, the second president of Huayi. Wan Qian also whispered. There are many people around, and there are some things that are inconvenient to say out loud.
"Oh yes, I remembered. Mu Ming nodded, and then said to herself suspiciously: "But, why did he come over?"
Teng Huatao and Wang Zhonglei have a particularly good relationship, and the two often go to golf together. So when Teng Huatao got the script of "33 Days of Broken Love", the first person he went to find was Huayi. After all, Perfect has no experience in distributing movies, while Huayi is the leading film and television company in China.
But Wang Zhonglei didn't even read the script, so he directly rejected Teng Huatao, just because he couldn't believe that he was a TV series director. Immediately afterwards, he told him that the project could be established, but the director had to be replaced. Then, Teng Huatao found the perfect film and television.
This turmoil was inadvertently mentioned by Teng Huatao during the later filming. It was also Mu Ming himself at that time, and Uncle Teng said angrily: "Even if I go back to review it on official business, I don't have anything to say." ”
Looking at the present, Mu Ming looked at Teng Huatao and Wang Zhonglei, who were shaking hands, and the two of them patted each other's arms, as if they had a good relationship.
Hey, two seniors, role models for my generation. Mu Ming sighed.
After a large number of well-known and unknown stars passed the scene, the focus shifted to the infield, and many fans who did not buy tickets could only be isolated from the door. Fans who were lucky enough to get tickets from various sources sat in the back seats of the theater and whispered to each other while watching the interviews on stage.
The interviews are actually those old topics, such as how you came up with the idea of making this movie, why you chose a certain leading role, what are the feelings of the actors when they are acting, and what interesting stories happen during filming.
Please, it's been more than three months since the finale, and the actors have already begun to take over the next play, except for a few impressive scenes, who remembers anything interesting. So these answers, in fact, several leading actors have prepared answers in advance.
"I don't know what the box office expectations for this movie are?" Naturally, a reporter asked the most critical question.
Many directors and companies of commercial films always like to say after the box office failure, "In fact, the box office doesn't say anything, and the most important thing is to get the audience's recognition." "The audience's evaluation is our greatest affirmation. ”
Don't be funny, okay, it's just a commercial film with no connotation, and you don't watch anything at the box office. is also recognized by the audience, if the audience recognizes you, can you be poor at the box office?
In fact, for most people, the box office is the most important. In the same type of movie, if someone has a box office of one billion and you have a box office of 30 million, anyone can see that you are not as good as others. And those audiences who haven't seen it yet are naturally more willing to choose movies with high box office to watch.
Therefore, the box office is always a key factor in evaluating a movie, and it is also the most controversial issue for the public.
"Our director is still single, everyone should know. Wen Zhang said half-jokingly: "Our director said some time ago that he will only get married if the box office of "33 Days of Broken Love" exceeds 100 million. Therefore, our current goal is to strive for more than 100 million yuan and solve the director's lifelong event. ”
Perfect's box office forecast for "33 Days of Broken Love" is around 50 million, but it must not be said to the outside world. It is bound to report a relatively large number, whether it is a gimmick or auspiciousness, anyway, it is just a casual remark.
Moreover, compared to those who open their mouths at every turn for 500 million billion, they are already quite polite. Moreover, the figure of 100 million is indeed more appropriate. Even if it exceeds 100 million, such a small-budget movie naturally has no topicality, and no one cares how much prediction was made at the beginning.
said that it was a premiere, but in fact, the proportion of time for interviews and screenings was not much different. In fact, everyone knows that most audiences are not interested in what and how to choose materials, and everyone's main focus is on stars and movies.
However, what is rare is that the crew invited more than a dozen ordinary viewers who participated in the filming of the city version of the trailer. Some of them are still single, but some of them have new relationships. Several people who re-found their relationship also came to the stage for an interview, and Mu Ming estimated that this was Teng Huatao's foreshadowing for the plot of the movie.
Finally, after a long period of boring interviews, it finally entered the official screening stage of the movie. Many viewers who had fallen asleep before were woken up by the people around them, rubbing their sleepy eyes, cheering up, and preparing to enjoy the next movie.
