Chapter 1030: Premiere Attendance

First of all, I apologized, I broke the shift for two days, I came from a business trip on Monday, and I was not feeling well, and then I was blown by the cold wind while riding a battery car, and my appendix was haired up, and I hung up for two days, so I broke the change, I'm really sorry, I'm in better health today, and I'm going to resume the update.

――――――

Zheng Wen greeted every guest who came to the premiere with several young people who looked excited and nervous.

The guests who came to participate in the premiere of "I Am a Passerby" today, in addition to Oriental DreamWorks' own artists and stars, the others are basically not Zheng Wen's friends and confidants in the circle, or some well-known people in the industry.

After all, the cast of "I Am a Passerby" is too shabby, if it weren't for the name Zheng Wen and his identity in Oriental DreamWorks, it is estimated that there would not be a few star artists in his own company to support this small-budget film.

However, even so, the guests who came were not cats and dogs.

There may be a little less celebrity guests, but some celebrities in the film industry who are relatively famous in literature and art, basically as long as they are free, are invited to participate in the premiere of Zheng Wen's film starring in a group.

Old man Meng Su also rushed over today.

"Lao Zheng, don't you make a movie and turn over, and then start playing your little literary and artistic tricks, okay?"

"Haha, I didn't expect your Lao Zheng to have a day when salted fish turned over, haha!"

"Hopefully I'll see something different today. ”……

Every guest who came greeted Zheng Wen with a smile, and several actors of "I Am Passerby A" who had never experienced this kind of scene almost didn't fall down when they heard these merciless kind words.

However, then they also understood that the people who could say such things to Director Zheng with a smile were probably all friends of Director Zheng.

Although the cast of "I Am a Passerby" does not have much attraction to the outside world, the 30 million yuan pre-publicity of Oriental DreamWorks is not done in vain, at least today all the influential entertainment media in the circle have been invited, and they have basically come.

Even if they didn't come in person, other reporters were arranged.

Oriental DreamWorks is now becoming more and more influential, and in this regard, the media is still very cooperative, after all, Oriental DreamWorks has always been very generous to public relations.

After all, the mouth of a cannibal is short, and the hand of a person is short.

The premiere of "I Am a Passerby" was not as grand as other films of Oriental DreamWorks, if it weren't for Yang Ming's request, Zheng Wen wouldn't even want to do this premiere and release it directly.

The production cost of 10 million yuan, and the publicity investment of 30 million yuan.

If this had been put in the past, Zheng Wen would never have been able to accept it.

Zheng Wen took several key members of the crew to the stage, and after a few simple polite words, he quickly stepped down from the stage, and the movie officially began to be screened.

"Lao Zheng, don't be so nervous, the story is told very well, I believe the audience will definitely buy it. ”

Jing Yongchang saw that after Zheng Wen stepped down and sat down, his breathing was a little short, so he guessed that the person next to him, although he didn't care on the surface, he was still quite nervous in his heart.

Everyone is a director, and even if the production cost is small, success is still very important.

Especially a Golden Dragon Award-level director like Zheng Wen, maybe even if this small-budget film fails, it will not shake Zheng Wen's foundation, but it still has a certain impact on his reputation.

As a director, Jing Yongchang can also understand Zheng Wen's mood at this time.

When Zheng Wen heard Jing Yongchang's words, he turned his head sideways and smiled bitterly, patted Jing Yongchang's arm to express his gratitude, but did not speak.

As soon as the lights dimmed, the animation of the little girl in Oriental DreamWorks above the moon at the beginning of the movie slowly appeared in the picture.

The theater suddenly became silent, and all the guests began to watch the movie intently, to see what kind of movie a director who had just won the Golden Dragon Award did not choose to take advantage of the victory to pursue a big production, but chose to shoot a small-budget movie with a production cost of only about 10 million.

At this moment, countless cinemas in China have also begun to release the movie "I Am a Passerby" at the same time.

Magic City.

One is located in a downtown shopping mall, in a lavishly decorated studio hall.

A young couple, holding hands, are discussing which movie to watch tonight.

"Wenwen, it doesn't seem like there are any good movies right now. The man walked around the studio, watched the movie shown tonight, and said a little helplessly.

The girl held her mobile phone and watched the movies released during this time in Maoyan Movies, and said with a little disappointment: "Yes, it's only June now, and it is estimated that there will be good-looking blockbusters in the summer." ”

"Yang Da's "Three Kingdoms" will not be released for more than a month!" the boy remembered something and said.

In June this year, there were not many blockbusters released, although there were some action movies and police movies, but they were either seen or the film reviews were not good, and the picture was too bloody for couples to watch.

If it weren't for the boredom, the boy wouldn't have proposed to go to the cinema to watch a movie.

Just when the girl wanted to give up the idea of watching a movie today, she undoubtedly turned her head to see a huge display shelf, and a movie promotional poster came into view.

"I am from Heilongjiang, 21 years old this year, I have studied traditional Chinese medicine, and now, I am dreaming in Dongyang. ”

is a plain sentence, but it reveals a kind of persistence and bitterness in pursuing dreams.

Dongyang!

For young people who have star dreams, Dongyang Film Shooting Base is the holy place in their hearts.

Here, maybe you can become famous overnight, fulfill your childhood dreams, be sought after by countless media, and become the protagonist with countless halos on the screen.

In the heart of every young person, there will be a dream of stardom, whether it is a boy or a girl, there will be no exception.

The girl who saw this huge poster was no exception, junior high school, high school, college, it can be said that her life experience, that is, a process of non-stop idol worship.

Moreover, she also has a deep dream of stardom in her heart.

The girl took the boy's hand, walked to the poster, looked at the poster, and read softly: "I am passerby A". ”

The boy saw that the girl was suddenly interested in this movie promotional poster, and said: "I know this movie, although the director is a big director, and the script is also written by Yang, but I look at the introduction of the media, the actors in the movie are not celebrities, and they are all selected from the tricks, which is not interesting!"

For male compatriots, watching movies, 9 out of 10 men like to watch action movies, which is the kind that dazzles and blows up the world.

The bigger the scene, the more male compatriots like to watch it.

Even if it is a romance film, if it is not needed by his girlfriend, it will basically not be considered by male compatriots.

The boy also had an understanding of the movie "I Am a Passerby", but when he saw the introduction of this movie in the media, he completely lost interest, and the production cost was only about 10 million.

Therefore, even if he knew that the director of this movie was made by a Golden Dragon Award-level director, and the script was written by Yang Ming, whom he admired very much, this movie was not considered in his first scope.

Director: Zheng Wen, winner of the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, screenwriter: Yang Ming, winner of the Golden Dragon Award for Best Original Screenplay. ”

When the girl saw the information on the poster, she really didn't expect that the screenwriter of this movie was actually written by Yang Ming, whom she admired.

Immediately, she immediately made a decision in her heart to watch this movie.

Anyway, there doesn't seem to be any other good movie today.

Hearing the girl's decision, although the boy was a little helpless, he still quickly bought two movie tickets with Maoyan Movie, for him, the important thing is not which movie to watch, but who to watch the movie with.

The same similar thing is happening in cinemas across the country.

The cast of "I Am Passerby A" is not attractive at all, and the production cost is only about 10 million, to be honest, for fans, it is definitely not their first choice to watch the movie.

Even, if it weren't for the fact that this movie is supported by the names of Zheng Wen and Yang Ming, as well as the promotion of Oriental DreamWorks at no cost.

It is estimated that few fans will choose to watch this movie.

The attendance rate for the premiere of "I Am a Passerby" was not very high.

Jinling.

Li Dongyang also received the news that the attendance rate of the premiere of "I Am a Passerby" was not very high as soon as possible.

Donghai Cinema Line and Oriental DreamWorks are both Yang Ming's industries, and Donghai Cinema Line has naturally become the royal cinema line of Oriental DreamWorks.

As long as the film is filmed and screened by Oriental DreamWorks, it will be strongly supported by Donghai Cinema Line.

Whether it is the intensity of film scheduling or resource support, it will be tilted by Donghai Cinema Line.

Fortunately, the movies made by Oriental DreamWorks in the past two or three years have basically been a big hit, so that the Donghai Cinema Line has not attracted too much gossip.

But "I Am a Passerby" has just premiered, and the attendance rate has not reached half, which surprised Li Dongyang.

The premiere attendance rate did not reach half, what this means, Li Dongyang couldn't be clearer in his heart.

It's definitely the rhythm of the flutter.

It's going to be miserable.

Even if the Donghai Cinema Line is the royal cinema chain of Oriental DreamWorks, you can't watch the theater lose money like this, a movie without attendance is a loss of money for the theater chain.

It was the first time Li Dongyang had encountered such a situation.

All the movies of Oriental DreamWorks before, whether they were made by Yang Ming or other directors, basically did not lose money, and they were all big hits.

He really didn't expect that the premiere of the movie "I Am a Passerby" would be so bleak.

You must know that every cinema under the Donghai Cinema Line has promotional posters and strong support for this movie, and it took so much effort to get more than half of the premiere attendance, which is a bit of a big deal.

Li Dongyang walked back and forth in his office with a solemn expression, how to solve this matter.

He looked at his watch, it was 7 o'clock in the evening here in Huaxia, and he calculated in his heart, it was estimated that it was only afternoon in London.

Thinking of this, he immediately dialed Yang Ming.

It's just that after a while, after getting Yang Ming's answer, after he put down the phone, his expression was a little uncertain, and there was a hint of suspicion.

"We'll see in two days!"

Obviously, Yang Ming waited for two days to take a look, and if the attendance rate was still so bleak, he would make a decision.

Li Dongyang knew that Yang Ming was very busy, and he didn't say much, so he hung up the phone for fear of disturbing the other party.

"Is it possible for this movie to come back to life?" he muttered to himself, touching his chin.

In the film industry, it is not without movies that have a poor box office at the beginning and then reversed, but there are too few movies like this to be universal and reference at all.

To be honest, Li Dongyang was a little optimistic about this movie at first, there was neither a big star lineup, nor a gorgeous camera picture, let alone a gripping horror film, if it weren't for the names of Zheng Wen and Yang Ming, this movie was made by Oriental DreamWorks, and if it was replaced by a movie from other film companies, he would never consider introducing it.

But since Yang Ming said it, let's wait two days and see.

Anyway, whether it is Oriental DreamWorks or Donghai Cinema, it is Yang Ming's own industry.

However, I didn't wait two days, and the next day, it seemed that things had taken a turn for the better.

Because the film reviews of the movie "I Am Passerby A" were published by various entertainment media, Li Dongyang read the film reviews of several media in a row, and his face was full of shocked expressions, all of them unanimously applauded, and they all gave this movie a very high evaluation.

"It's rare, in this impetuous era, this is a movie with a heart, you can't stand on a high place to look at it, and you don't need to get stuck in the mud to look up, it can spontaneously establish an equal exchange with the audience. It is also the first work in a long time in the domestic cinema environment that does not have a star starring, does not pursue the maximization of commercial value, and earnestly and sincerely records the current group of Nanpiao and the place of Dongyang Film Base, and at the same time instills effort and emotion into it. ”

Especially Wan Guopeng, the protagonist of the film, said innocently: "Filming is surreal for me. When he stammered, "You and I are like a dog and a butterfly, why can't we understand each other?" "I really felt like I was being poked in the heart. ”……

Mr. Meng Su gave a very high evaluation of the movie "I Am a Passerby" on his personal version, even the highest evaluation given in the past two years.

Even Yang Ming, who he has always supported, has not let the old man give such a high evaluation as this time.

In addition to Mr. Meng Su's high evaluation of this movie, other media and film critics also gave quite high evaluations.

"East Asia Film Weekly", which has just become part of Yang Ming's industry, used a very attractive title and published it on today's headlines: "I am a passerby, thank you, acting ordinary dreams." ”

Zheng Wen is indeed known as the most stubborn and stubborn director in the film industry, and this time he used a "I am a passerby" to express the bitterness of the little people who have dreams at the bottom of society and insist on them. ”

"There is no luxurious cast, no money-burning special effects shots, and no bloody plot, some are just a plain story, but this bland story tells us the true meaning of what this movie wants to tell: dreams!"

"The dreams of countless young people with star dreams in China!"

"There is no foundation for performance and no social background, but I will never give up my passion for movies and performances, and it is also the persistence of the "Nanpiao" people to their dreams, this is not a movie, but a real life experience, which happens around us!"
