At 7 p.m. on February 2, the premiere of "Bursting Drummer" was held at Huaxing International Cinema in Haidian, Beiping, which is the first five-star cinema in Beiping. Many movies have their premieres here, such as "The Legend of the Heavenly Pulse", "With You", "Polar Rescue" and so on.

At this time, the red carpet had already been rolled out in front of the theater, and a large number of media reporters and fans gathered on both sides of the red carpet. Among them, Jay Chou has a lot of fans, and they are holding signs with various slogans written on them one by one, waiting for their idols to appear.

There are also a lot of celebrities who came to help, including Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, Hu Jun, and other stars who Zhang Ran knew, as well as Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and Li Binbin, who had never met Zhang Ran, but came to help out of various considerations.

The star-studded cast made fans and fans shout excitedly, and the atmosphere was as hot as summer, and at the same time, it also left reporters scrambling and not knowing who to focus on.

When the crew of "Burst Drummer" appeared on the red carpet, the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to the top, and the scene was really earth-shattering, with a tsunami. The fans on both sides were like crazy, shouting frantically: "Jielun, Jielun!"

Zhang Ran and they have already experienced Jay Chou's popularity, but they are not surprised. Huang Bo and Wang Yun were completely dumbfounded, this is the treatment of top stars!

Huang Bo shook his head with emotion: "If only I could be so popular, this life would be worth it!"

Zhang Ran smiled lightly: "There is this day, Huang Bo, I believe that you will have this day, and in the future, I am afraid that your popularity may not be lower than that of Jielun!"

Huang Bo smiled and shook his head, where can he believe it. Everyone else also thought that Zhang Ran was really comforting Huang Bo, and smiled without saying a word.

Jay Chou is particularly popular. But for the media, Zhang Ran is what they want to interview the most. Because Zhang Ran always makes big news intentionally or unintentionally, he is simply the spokesperson of banknotes for reporters.

As soon as Zhang Ran arrived at the interview area, the reporters asked one after another: "Director Zhang, the performance of "Bloody Notes" is unsatisfactory, what do you think about this?

As Zhang Ran expected, on the first day of the release of "Bloody Notes", the performance was not bad, with a box office of 1 million. After all, the secret battle with "Bursting Drummer" a few days ago made countless audiences know about this movie, plus the actors include Nicholas Tse, Cecilia Cheung, Edison Cheng and many other stars, and fans gathered on the premiere day. However, the box office began to dive the next day. There are also almost one-sided bad reviews on the Internet, the movie is too dull, and the audience thinks it is not good. So far, the box office is only 3 million, and it is estimated that the box office will only be about 6 million in the end, and even the publicity fee will not be earned!

"I don't think about it, and I don't care. Zhang Ran calmly looked at the reporter who asked the question, and said with a smile, "As for the box office of "Burst Drummer", it is really difficult to predict, if this can be predicted accurately." There won't be so many loss-making movies every year. If you want to talk about hope, I hope to win the championship of the Spring Festival file!"

"Champion!" the reporter was stunned, then laughed, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets will definitely exceed 50 million at the box office." Then "Burst Drummer" has to get 50 million to win the championship, it seems that Director Zhang is very confident in the box office of the movie!"

Zhang Ran is not afraid of being slapped in the face, and there is a tall man on top of the sky when the sky falls. Chen Jiashang shouted "box office 100 million", what is there to be afraid of. He looked at the reporter and smiled, "Of course." No matter how ugly your own child is, she is the most beautiful in the eyes of her parents. My child won the grand prize in a foreign country. Besides, there's Jielun, he's a box office elixir!"

The reporters all looked at each other and laughed. They all thought that Zhang Ran was joking, although Jay Chou was very popular, but after all, it was the first time to act in a movie, and it was completely unknown, where could it be called a box office elixir!

After answering a few questions, Zhang Ran took the crew members to the cinema. After not taking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Jingchu, what's wrong with you? I don't think you're in a good mood!"

"No, I'm very happy!" Zhang Jingchu smiled brightly at Zhang Ran, and then asked softly, "Zhang Ran, why did you choose to premiere today?"

Zhang Ran glanced at Zhang Jingchu and said, "Because today is Friday, the box office data of Friday's release will look better, which is convenient for publicity." You've asked this question several times, what's wrong, what's wrong?"

Zhang Jingchu's eyes were a little gloomy, but her face was still pretending to be happy: "No, I read in the newspaper that our movie was released in a hurry, and we shouldn't choose a schedule, it should be postponed for a few days, I thought there was some special reason!"

Zhang Jingchu sighed faintly in her heart, today is my birthday, but you forgot! Last year, in the crew of "Before Dawn", when everyone celebrated the birthday of an actor in the crew, Zhang Ran told her that they would celebrate their birthday together next year. She's been looking forward to it. Of course, she knew that Zhang Ran had been very busy recently, day and night, and she didn't blame Zhang Ran. It's just that she forgot about it, and she still feels a little sad in her heart.

Zhang Ran turned his head to look at Zhang Jingchu and said, "I feel that something is wrong with you today, if there is anything, you must tell me!"

Zhang Jingchu cheered up and smiled: "What can I do? No, I'm just a little nervous, worried that the box office will not be good!"

Zhang Ran smiled and comforted: "It's going to be fine, the box office will definitely not be too bad, because this movie resonates too much for domestic audiences!"

Zhang Ran's entry into the venue is an end to the red carpet show, which is very satisfying for the media, there are many big-name stars present today, and even the directors have come a lot, and now they only hate that the layout is not enough, and they are not worried about having nothing to write about.

After entering the cinema, before Zhang Ran sat down, Han Sanping walked over with a young man wearing glasses.

Seeing this, Zhang Ran immediately smiled and greeted him warmly: "Mr. Han, I didn't expect you to come today, it's really brilliant!"

Han Sanping laughed, and then introduced the young man next to him to Zhang Ran: "This is Lu Chuan, this is Zhang Ran! You two are the most high-profile young directors in China, with you young directors, there is great hope for Chinese films!"

Lu Chuan was looking at Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran was also looking at Lu Chuan, and then the two looked at each other and smiled. At the same time stretched out a hand. When shaking hands, Zhang Ran hurried Lu Chuan a little harder. He knew that Lu Chuan should be dissatisfied with himself.

It is true that Lu Chuan is the screenwriter of the popular TV series "Black Hole", and then became an instant hit with "Looking for a Gun" and became Chu Qiao, a young director in China. But the first position of the rookie director has not yet been hot, and suddenly a Zhang Ran appeared, not only won the grand prize at the Tokyo Film Festival, but now he has started an international production, which makes himself bleak.

Lu Chuan is a proud, even somewhat narcissistic person. Where will I take this breath, so I plan to come over to see how many catties and taels Zhang Ran has.

""The Burst Drummer" won two awards at the Tokyo Film Festival, it must be very good, I came here to learn!" Lu Chuan said in his mouth, but his tone was disapproving. It felt like saying, the Tokyo Film Festival is a hair, I can take it if I want.

Zhang Ran doesn't have a good impression of Lu Chuan, this person has talent. But he is too hypocritical, too narcissistic, the kind of person whose ambition is greater than his strength, and he especially likes to sell private goods. Movies with small formats like "Looking for a Gun" and "Ke Ke Xili" are quite suitable for him. But after he became a little famous, he liked to play big, so he ended up making one and smashing another. There are a lot of people.

However, people are here to cheer, and Zhang Ran must greet him with a smile: "Welcome, welcome." I'm a novice on the road, and I ask Director Lu Chuan for more advice!" Zhang Ran said politely. But there is not the slightest hint of instruction in the tone.

Han Sanping's heart was happy, these two young people seem to be unconvinced, it's a bit interesting! Young people just have to be impulsive, if they don't have momentum, are they still called young people?

After a brief chat, Zhang Ran returned to his position, and the premiere began. With the fierce drumming, the host Jin Wei walked on the stage with a smile, and everyone's eyes were focused on the stage.

"Good evening, friends!" Jin Wei looked at the audience with a smile, "Welcome to the premiere of "Burst Drummer", I am today's host Jin Wei! "Burst Drummer" is the most anticipated movie of this Spring Festival, let's invite the main creator of the crew to play!"

In the warm applause, Zhang Ran, Zhou Jielun, Feng Yuanyi, Zhang Jingchu, Huang Bo, Wang Yun and other main creators walked on the stage and stood in a row in the middle of the stage. As the actors and main creators in the play, they will have some interaction with the scene.

Jin Wei took the microphone and asked, "Director Zhang, tell me why you wanted to shoot this film?"

Zhang Ran raised the microphone and thought about it, and said, "I myself have encountered strict teachers, and I am also a teacher myself, and I am also very strict with students. Sometimes I wonder if I'm being too harsh and if my actions will hurt my students. Of course, I'm not saying that this story is related to my experience, and I'm not a teacher like Chen Wei, I just want to show a story and show the confrontation between people!"

Jin Wei nodded with a smile, then threw the topic to Jay Chou and asked, "Jie Lun, you are acting in a movie for the first time, and you are playing the leading role, can you talk about your feelings?"

Jay Chou said with a smile: "It's my first time acting in a movie, and I don't know anything about acting, but thanks to the guidance of Mr. Feng Yuanyi and Mr. Zhang Ran, I was able to complete the performance." However, my plays are basically performed in their true colors, and I am a bit similar to Zhou Xu. What is the specific effect, let's watch the movie!"

"Teacher Feng Yuanyi, I heard that you played a villain again this time, is this character different from the role you created before, how does it feel to work with Director Zhang Ran?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and said: "I am playing a teacher, but I don't agree with you, he is not a bad person in the character I played, but a little extreme." Zhang Ran knows actors very well, he originally studied acting, and he studied Grotowski like me, filming with him is very pleasant, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!"

Zhang Ran hurriedly said: "Definitely, we will definitely cooperate!"

When Jin Wei heard this, he turned the topic back to Zhang Ran: "By the way, Director Zhang, everyone is very concerned about your new film, how are you preparing?"

Zhang Ran didn't hide it, glanced at the audience, and said: "It's very smooth, I will go to the Berlin Film Festival for pre-sale every few days, and then I will cast it in China!"

Many actors in the audience came to Zhang Ran, hoping to get to know Zhang Ran and then get the opportunity to appear in Zhang Ran's new film. Now when I hear Zhang Ran's words, my heart moves, thinking about how to fight for the role.

The ten-minute interview ended, followed by a short theatrical performance. Huang Bo took the stage to sing a song "I'm so happy today", and then Jay Chou took the stage to sing "Snail" and "Nunchucks", which pushed the atmosphere of the whole scene to the top.

The audience's emotions were completely lifted, and they were full of anticipation for the movie.

The lights in the screening hall went out, and it was pitch black on the big screen, and suddenly the dragon logo of radio and television flashed on the screen, and then the logo of Qingying Studio appeared.

The movie has officially begun! )
