Chapter 812: A Friend of the Big Gold Lord
The next day, the crew got ready early and went to the largest theater in Taipei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today is the press conference for the Baodao publicity of Director Zhou's film, and the entire theater is already full of reporters and fans.
Only at this time can Liu Chen see how influential Director Zhou really is.
After entering the theater, Liu Chen found that this was not only a press conference, but also a small-scale test screening.
The so-called test screening means that before the actual release of the movie, some professionals in the circle, including some famous film critics, will be organized to watch a small-scale screening.
This kind of screening is not only to predict the performance of the film in advance, but also to make these film critics with discerning tastes pick and choose.
But for any blockbuster, there will be this kind of test screening.
And the more famous the film director, the bigger the scene of this kind of test screening.
The entrance to the theater is covered with a red carpet, and from time to time big stars and directors, as well as celebrities from the film industry, pass by.
The stars would stop for a moment in front of the red carpet to give the reporters gathered around the theater some time to take pictures.
Dozens of minutes passed like this, and countless stars walked by.
At 8 p.m., the screening will start on time.
Liu Chen and the crew sat in the front row of the theater.
Moreover, he still sits on Director Zhou's left hand side, and talks with Director Zhou from time to time.
In order to prevent the content of the film from being exposed early, only those in the theater were allowed to enter the theater and those who were kept out of the theater.
These are already conventions.
Therefore, Director Zhou was also more open when he talked to Liu Chen, and from time to time he and Liu Chen pointed to the camera in the movie.
The preview screening will not release all the content, and even if Director Zhou wants to release it back, he has no film to play.
The final 10 percent of the shots are still missing, and they will be completed by the end of the month.
According to the news revealed by Director Zhou and Liu Chen, he plans to set the premiere of the film at the beginning of next month, that is, at the beginning of December of 04!
The movie started when Director Zhou was a child and went until he was seriously injured.
The final few big special effects shots are still in production, but in terms of the eye-catching special effects in front of me, this film is no worse than those Hollywood blockbusters!
From the applause and laughter of the audience, Liu Chen could also vaguely see the smile on Director Zhou's face.
In fact, Liu Chen feels that he and Director Zhou probably belong to the same kind of people, and they both want to complete their dreams thoroughly.
They are the kind of people who pursue perfection, and they don't want to see any imperfection in their dreams!
So this is also the reason why Director Zhou often changes his plans when making movies.
If it were to be an ordinary director, the effect would be poor, and they might just be perfunctory and make do as much as possible.
But Director Zhou is different, if there is something in the movie that he is not satisfied with, then no matter how difficult it is, he will shoot that unsatisfactory shot again to make the whole film perfect.
Probably because of this reason, almost all the actors who work with Director Zhou will say that Director Zhou treats people too harshly and often changes the film plan, making the actors haggard.
Liu Chen felt that Director Zhou didn't do anything wrong in this matter, he just wanted to make the movie perfect, but the way he did it was inappropriate.
Because it was not a fully edited version, the film was already shown in an hour.
When the final subtitles of the movie were raised, all the audience members stood up in unison and gave the warmest applause to Director Zhou and the crew of the film.
Seeing this, everyone agreed that it was a successful movie.
Liu Chen was also a little excited in his heart, this was the first film he participated in the production, watching the process of those films from scratch to becoming a movie is really a process of enjoyment.
Moreover, in terms of Liu Chen's memories of his previous life, this version of "Kung Fu" in which he participated is much better than that of later generations, and some of the special effects shots in it are much better!
The success of a movie is inseparable from everyone in the crew.
If the director is compared to a computer chip, then everyone in the crew is a part of the whole computer and is indispensable.
Only when the whole crew is in motion, and every position strives to be the best it can be, it is possible to shoot a classic that will be handed down to the world.
Sitting on the right hand side of Director Zhou is the most famous director of Baodao, Li An.
Speaking of Li An, the people of the entire Chinese people are no strangers.
At the turn of the millennium, his Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon swept nearly $300 million at the global box office, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese film in the history of Chinese cinema.
And he himself, with this film, became the first director in China to win the Oscar.
The most important thing is that he is not only the first person in China to win the Oscar for Best Director, he is also the first in Asia!
With many awards, Li An can now be said to be the most well-known and authoritative director in the whole of China.
After watching the film, Li An lowered his head and whispered: "Director Zhou, your movie is really good!"
"In the past, I was dead set on Huaxia's special effects production, and you gave us a surprise today, I didn't expect Huaxia's special effects production to have progressed to this level. I have to say that the special effects of your film are not inferior to the level of Hollywood's first-class blockbusters. ”
Listening to Li An's words, Director Zhou couldn't help grinning.
Then he pulled Liu Chen and introduced Li An: "This is the person in charge of the special effects company." Would you be interested in having him do special effects for your films?"
After listening to Director Zhou's introduction, Li An couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly looked at Liu Chen carefully.
When he found out that Liu Chen was just a young man under the age of twenty, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his eyes.
And Liu Chen saw the loss in his eyes and smiled slightly.
opened his mouth and said: "Director Li An, I like your Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon very much, as the first person in China and even in Asia to win the Oscar for Best Director, you deserve the admiration of our entire film circle." ”
Liu Chen changed his words and said, "We were on the phone, do you remember Director Li?"
Director Li showed a puzzled expression, his memory was very good, but he couldn't remember when he spoke with this young man on the phone.
"Yes......"
"One time I was on the phone with Yukiko Morita and I was reading your Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and you happened to be next to Yukiko, and we had a few conversations. ”
Director Li remembered it at this time, and was suddenly surprised, what kind of person is this young man, who can be familiar with a gold master like Yukiko Morita.
"Oh, you're Mr. Liu Chen. ”
In a capitalist society, rich is a big man, Director Li has been exposed to the United States, and naturally understands that in the United States, well-known directors must know a group of supporters of the funders, otherwise you will make a fart movie.
Recently, he took a notebook to look for investment everywhere, and he was in a very difficult situation.
