Chapter 389: Screening
Just when the paparazzi were busy blocking Liu Pian, another thing related to Liu Pian spread in the entertainment industry.
"Eavesdropping" is about to be released in early July!
The film was finished at the end of last year, but it took some time in the later stage, editing, actor dubbing, and BGM production, and it was busy until about May.
After the post-production was completed, Xu Ran was busy arranging the schedule and theaters, and finally decided to release it in early July, and came to mix it up in the summer.
There are two versions of this movie, divided into Cantonese version and Chinese version, and the ending of both versions is the same, the content has not changed, and it ends with the villain hanging up. In addition, Xu Ran himself also made a director's cut version, and this version was cut with a lot of content, cutting the plot of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and in the end, the villains did not hang up, but the protagonists were more miserable than the other.
However, this version will also communicate internally, and there is no hope for a public release, even if the radio and television in this world is more relaxed, but some principled things will not be loosened. The relaxation of the policy is mainly due to the fact that there are real ghosts and movies in the supernatural horror genre, which can also be released, but some of the more bloody ones can only be watched at the age of eighteen.
As for the third-level action movie, this is still on the radio and television blacklist, so Xiangjiang can be released publicly.
At the end of May, "Let's Listen to the Storm" had already begun to be promoted, and by mid-June, the popularity was getting higher and higher. And because Liu Pian has been in the limelight recently, "Eavesdropping" has also benefited from this and has received wider attention.
Liu Pian is a screenwriter, one of the cinematographers, and one of the filmmakers. Of course, Xu Ran will not let go of these gimmicks to hype, when he posted on Weibo to promote the movie, he specially marked "Screenwriter: Liu Pian's mentor"!
You can rub the heat openly, why not?
As a result, "Eavesdropping" became popular before it was broadcast, and people were still entangled in the matter of Liu Pian and Lin Youjia, and now another screenwriter of Liu Pian has emerged, and everyone is already dizzying.
"Are you going to change your name to Liu Pian as a screenwriter in the future?"
"Liu Pian's mentor is really a jack of all trades. ”
"When you're a musician, he's still a filmmaker. ”
Only then did I remember that the screenwriters of "Meteor Garden" and "Mischievous Kiss" are also Liu Pian's mentors. ”
"Tutor Liu Pian is just a screenwriter? I really want to watch Tutor Liu Pian act, and I especially like the Daoming Temple he plays. ”
"Daoming Temple or something... Ahem, I was fascinated by it the first time, but now it's a little embarrassing to watch it a second time. ”
"Why is Mentor Liu Pian so able to show? ”
"Mentor Liu Pian is so spicy and powerful, I am not surprised that he will become a director in the future. ”
"This is the all-round star..."
"It's going to be released on July 1st, and it's more than ten days away, so I can't wait. ”
"I heard that it's a bit of a screening this time, but I don't know where to watch it..."
.......
"Eavesdropping" did adopt the on-demand screening mode this time, and it was released on a small scale about a week in advance, let's see the word-of-mouth and response.
This is for the media, critics, and veteran fans.
Generally speaking, movies that dare to be screened in advance are those that the producers are particularly confident in and are not afraid of criticism from others.
Screening is a double-edged sword, if used well, it can greatly increase the popularity before the release, but if it is not used well, it will only cause trouble for yourself. Some small-budget movies with no way out will choose to be screened, hoping to arouse word-of-mouth, and when they are officially released, they will explode in one fell swoop.
And some shoddy bad movies will not be screened in advance. In case the word-of-mouth is too bad when it is released, it will have a huge impact on the box office when it is officially released later.
Screening is not a mechanical strategic means, only flexible movement can be effective. However, screening is not a panacea, and the most fundamental thing depends on the quality of the film itself. If word of mouth doesn't work, it's just the difference between dying early and dying late.
Xu Ran was more confident in "Eavesdropping" this time, and chose to screen it, and the time was set for June 20th to 23rd, a total of four days, and it will be screened on a small scale in some first-tier cities.
Jiangcheng is one of them.
Xu Ran gave Liu Pian more than a dozen tickets for the screening, and Liu Pian gave the tickets to her friends.
On the 20th, Liu Pian took Xiao Min to watch the screening. As the producer of this movie, Liu Pian also wants to see how the reputation is in the hearts of the audience.
In the afternoon, Liu Pian and Xiao Min dressed up in disguise and came to a chain cinema in Jiangcheng in a low-key manner.
Because it is a screening venue, it is particularly difficult to buy tickets, and many tickets have been taken away by media reporters, and there are not many real ordinary audiences.
When Liu Pian and Xiao Min arrived at the theater, there were already many people at the scene. With several years of experience in dealing with reporters, Liu Pian glanced at it and could faintly detect that there were many reporters here.
"Shhhh Liu Pian pulled Xiao Min to sit on the side of the middle row.
"Hmm. Xiao Min nodded cautiously.
Ten minutes before the movie started, there was a little commotion at the scene, and many reporters and critics were discussing with each other.
Everyone is a peer, and they don't just have the purpose of enjoying the movie, after watching the movie, everyone has to go back to write a film review and score the movie.
This is a common phenomenon.
Occasionally, some big-name producers ask the media not to write negative reports after watching the screening.
Only positive ones can be written.
This can only be described as death.
There was once a film screened in Sichuan Province, but its director asked the media not to wear any metal objects to enter the theater, not to make negative reports, and did not prepare special tickets for the media. Then it caused strong dissatisfaction among the media in Sichuan Province, and during the entire screening period, the major media in Sichuan Province did not mention the movie, remained silent throughout the whole process, and ignored the negative and positive comments, and even many media did not go to watch the screening at all.
This screening is like no point, wasting so much time in vain.
If you want to block the mouth of Youyou, how can you directly cover people's mouths, you have to take out something real.
""Eavesdropping"? This name is a bit interesting, but I don't know what the content is. A reporter said to his companion.
"Just look at it, the name seems to be related to eavesdropping? Is it eavesdropping? It's a bit like a police movie. ”
"I don't dare to say it, this is a script written by Tutor Liu Pian, tsk. ”
"Also, Mentor Liu Pian is almost playing youth idol dramas, why do you want to mix movies with movies? Do you want to make campus youth movies, and make police and gangster movies as soon as you come? The steps are too big, police movies and idol dramas are two concepts. I think this movie will be very hypocritical. ”
"If it's made like "Meteor Garden", then you have to play, I have to write a report to mock Mentor Liu Pian, girl, do you make music well, what kind of police movie do you play, and you have enough to eat?"
"Haha, the strength is persuaded to retreat, Mentor Liu Pian still plays music, his music is still very good, movies, it's hard to say. ”
In the back row of them, Liu Pian rolled her eyes angrily.
Damn, is that what my film is like that in the eyes of the media?
Who said that the screenwriter of a youth idol drama can't write a good script for a police movie?
"Dogs look down on people. Liu Pian wondered.
"No, they compliment you on your music. Xiao Min chuckled.
"One thing is one thing, now I'm a movie screenwriter!"
Liu Pian muttered in her heart, I am still a secret as the screenwriter of "Dark War", if these reporters know, see how they laugh at me.
