Chapter 71: The Premiere
At the preview screening of "Police Story", Jiang Ran proposed to cancel the midnight scene of the film and hold a premiere ceremony, and most of the participants agreed to this suggestion, only Golden Harvest has not yet expressed an opinion on it.
Jiang Ran looked at Zou Wenhuai, who was bowing his head and contemplating, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Huai, what do you think of my plan? Is there anything else that needs to be improved?"
Zou Wenhuai thought about Jiang Ran's planning, he didn't have any opinions on this proposal, although he wanted to participate in the distribution of the movie, but after all, it was not Jiahe's own movie, even if Jiang Ran's planning failed, the impact on Jiahe was not very great.
Therefore, after everyone else agreed, hearing Jiang Ran's question, Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Since everyone has no opinion, it means that Ah Ran's plan must be reasonable, and we have no objection to Jiahe." ”
After Jiang Ran heard Zou Wenhuai's words, he said happily: "Since Uncle Huai and everyone agreed to my proposal, then our company will promote and distribute the movie according to the proposal in the next time." Here, I thank you for your trust in our Ranfeng, and I hope that our cooperation will go smoothly this time, and everyone will make a fortune together!"
After the trial meeting, Ran Feng Film began to prepare for the premiere ceremony of "Police Story", which was the first time that a Hong Kong film had a premiere ceremony, and everyone had little experience in it, which also made Jiang Ran have to do many things himself.
"Mr. Kong, the Yau Ma Tei Cinema has been contacted, and we have been given a week's time to use the theatre. Jiang Wei reported in Jiang Ran's office.
Jiang Ran nodded, and then asked, "Where is the master of ceremonies, who are you going to contact?"
Jiang Wei was obviously very confident, and said to Jiang Ran: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I have already contacted Asia TV, and they will send two well-known hosts to help at that time." ”
After Jiang Ran listened to Jiang Wei's words, he said dissatisfiedly: "There is no need to find a professional host, the purpose of our need for the master of ceremonies is mainly to warm up the scene." ”
Jiang Ran said, stopped and thought about it, and said, "The on-site master of ceremonies is looking for Brother Lak." He is now famous, and he is an old man in the film and television industry, and he is also familiar with things in the Hong Kong film and television industry, plus he is humorous, there should be no problem hosting the premiere ceremony. ”
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'll contact Brother Lat right away. Jiang Weiying said to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded, and then asked: "The audience must be arranged, whether it is the customers selected by our Ranfeng ourselves, or the personnel reported by the sponsors, as well as the relatives, friends and fans of Jackie Chan and other main creators, they must be arranged in advance." ”
"In addition, we still have a significant number of people who need to buy tickets to enter the venue, because this premiere is expensive, so we must do a good job of publicity, and I don't want to have empty seats at the venue. ”
"Finally, how is the media contact, is ATV interested in coming to the scene to record this show?"
Jiang Wei nodded in response to Jiang Ran's words, and said, "Mr. Jiang, rest assured, the work on the audience side has been almost done, and there will definitely be no problem." ”
As for the media, they have also been contacted, and everyone has made it clear that they will arrange for reporters to participate, but ATV has no interest in live recording. ”
Jiang Ran was not surprised that ATV refused to record live, he said to Jiang Wei: "They are not interested, we will record it ourselves, and in the future, we can add the recorded content to the video or play it directly at the end of the movie as an easter egg." ”
On July 1, "Police Story" was also screened on the first day of 22 cinemas in Hong Kong today, and on the same day, the premiere ceremony of "Police Story" was also held simultaneously at Yau Ma Tei Cinema.
Because the midnight show was canceled by Ran Feng's movie, it was changed to a premiere ceremony. In recent days, Hong Kong's media, filmmakers and senior fans have all discussed Ran Feng's behavior, and among them, the voices of doubt occupy the majority.
However, it is precisely because of these discussions and doubts that many people are very curious about the premiere ceremony held by Ran Feng. This also makes the ticket price of the premiere ceremony high, but it still attracts many audiences to participate in the ticket before buying.
Today's Yau Ma Tei Cinema is particularly lively. Early in the morning, security personnel cleared the venue near the main entrance, and then the staff set up a long red carpet and set up various advertising booths.
Before the premiere began, it was already crowded with curious citizens and spectators. The crowd, the security guards standing in the crowd, the many media reporters sprinting with guns, the long red carpet in the middle, and the signature board printed with the logo at the end of the red carpet all highlight the scale of today's premiere.
In the anticipation of everyone, today's emcee Chen Baixiang walked to the signature board and began to introduce the celebrities who are about to enter the red carpet.
"Hello friends, I'm Chen Baixiang. It's the premiere of "Police Story" that is going on here, and thank you for your interest in "Police Story" produced by Ran Feng Films. First of all, the main creators of the film are invited to enter the scene. ”
In Chen Baixiang's words, Jiang Ran and other main creators took the car provided by the sponsor and slowly drove into the scene, and after the staff opened the car door, Jiang Ran took Jackie Chan, Zhong Chuhong and others on the red carpet with a smile.
The arrival of Jiang Ran, Jackie Chan, and Zhong Chuhong made the scene cheer, of course, how many of these cheering crowds were arranged by Ran Feng, it is unknown.
With the arrival of Jiang Ran and other main creators of the film, the red carpet show officially began. As more and more celebrities walk across the red carpet, the scene is becoming more and more lively, and both the audience and the media have really experienced Ran Feng's generosity.
"Damn, where is the premiere of the movie, I think it's more grand than the awards ceremony. The reporters around sighed while taking pictures.
"Yes, compared with the premiere ceremony organized by Ran Feng, the Academy Awards held by the Film Fortnight in March are too shabby. When the reporter was talking, he obviously didn't see the embarrassed look on Chen Bosen's face not far away.
"The next film awards ceremony must be done according to this model! And it must be better than Ran Feng. This is Chen Bosen's determination in his heart after hearing the reporter's words.
In the midst of the disturbances, the red carpet is finally over, and the audience begins to enter, followed by the live interaction between the film's main creators and the audience, as well as some program performances.
After all the audience entered the venue, Chen Baixiang came to the stage and said, "First of all, thank you for coming to the premiere ceremony of the movie "Police Story" today. ”
"Police Story is a film about the Hong Kong police, and everyone knows that during the filming of this film, the Hong Kong Police Force gave a lot of technical support to the film. So let me start by thanking all the police officers who have contributed to the stability of Hong Kong. ”
Chen Baixiang said here, and the newspaper said: "Next, I invite the Hong Kong Police Force to bring you a separate performance. ”
The opening performance of this police force is a decision made by Jiang Ran and Li Junxia after discussion, which can not only make the movie appear more classy, but also improve the presence of the police force in this movie.
After the police performance was completed, Jiang Ran led Jackie Chan and Zhong Chuhong and other main creative staff to the front of the stage and began to introduce his work in the crew to the audience in turn.
"Hello everyone, I am Jiang Ran, the director of "Police Story", thank you for coming to support "Police Story". Jiang Ran said and bowed to the audience.
"Wow! Jiang Ran bowed to me!"
"Ah! This high-priced ticket was not bought in vain, so it was not in vain to bow to Jiang Ran, a billionaire!"
Jiang Ran watched the audience below suddenly start to stir up, a little sluggish. "What's going on? I just said a word and bowed. ”
Fortunately, Chen Baixiang next to him reacted quickly, came out to save the scene, and pretended to complain to the audience: "Everyone, you are too favoritism, I am standing here so handsomely, you don't give me any reaction, you actually give such a big response to Director Jiang's appearance?"
At this time, Jiang Ran had already reacted, and the audience also began to remind the reason for the commotion in the audience just now, Jiang Ran took Chen Baixiang with a smile and said: "The eyes of the masses are bright. ”
In the commotion from the audience, the main creators of the crew have been introduced, and the audience began to ask questions to several people on stage.
The first question was asked to Jiang Ran, "Mr. Jiang, you are now worth hundreds of millions, why do you still want to direct movies yourself?"
Jiang Ran heard this question, thought for a while, and said: "First of all, there is no contradiction between personal net worth and directing movies, and movies have brought me wealth, so I have more obligation to make more wonderful works for the audiences who support my films. ”
"The second point is that I personally love movies very much, and every time I create a film, it is like creating a new world, a new individual, which gives me a great sense of accomplishment. ”
"Mr. Cheng, do you really know how to fight for your life in the filming? The actions in the movie are all real?"
Jackie Chan said seriously: "I guarantee here that every action shot in the movie does not use stand-ins, stunts and special cinematography, so it is very common for us to get injured during shooting." ”
"Honggu, do you have any intimate scenes with Jackie Chan in the movie, do Mr. Jiang mind this?"
Hearing this question, Jackie Chan laughed first on the side, "I can guarantee that Director Jiang doesn't mind Ah Hong's intimate scenes, because all intimate scenes have been blocked by Director Jiang when the script was created." ”
