Chapter 45: The response was overwhelming
When the lights in the Lisheng Theater dimmed, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was officially released.
The premiere is not as good as the midnight test screening, and Rao is very confident Chen Jialuo's palms are sweating slightly. Not to mention Chen Xiaodong and the others, they straightened their waists one by one and sat upright. They have watched the movie more than a dozen times, and every shot is the result of everyone's hard work, and now is the time to welcome the harvest.
"Xiaoxian, you're so nervous!"
Although the first two rows under the screen were extremely dark, Chen Jialuo still found that Wang Xiaoxian, who was sitting next to him, trembled slightly.
Wang Xiaoxian smiled, bit his lower lip, and said, "Of course I'm nervous! It's the first time I've come here in ancient costumes......
Also, since the midnight test screening, there have been significantly more media tracking Wang Xiaoxian. The film received a good reputation after the test screening, especially for her reviews. It can be said that this movie will prove a key point in whether she can rise in the Xiangjiang film industry.
"Poof...... Zhang Baorong really laughed at me, cute and stupid. ”
At the beginning of the shot, everyone didn't have a special impression of Wang Xiaoxian, just glamorous. But when Ning Caichen, played by Zhang Baorong, appeared, the funny scenes made the audience laugh. Zhang Baorong, who was sitting in the front row, seemed to be watching the movie seriously, but in fact, his ears were pricked up and he was always concerned about the audience's reaction.
With the deepening of the movie, the audience is also completely immersed in "A Chinese Ghost Story". Especially Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, the two infatuated men and women, are worried about their ups and downs.
By this time, everyone had fallen in love with this simple and kind Nie Xiaoqian, and they also loved the stunned Ning Caichen very much.
Especially the obsession between the two in the gazebo, many male viewers shouted that Zhang Baorong really made a fortune, and he was able to have a dewy relationship with a beautiful female ghost like Wang Xiaoxian.
"The road of life, a dream is like a long road......"
When Zhang Baorong's "The Road Follows the People" sounded again, the audience who had been immersed in the movie stood up one after another to meet the lights on, and the applause poured towards Chen Jialuo and other main creators like a tide.
"Wang Xiaoxian, I love you!"
"Rong Shao, Rong Shao ......"
Whether it is Zhang Baorong's fans or fans who were conquered by Wang Xiaoxian, all the audiences in the cinema got up at this time. The sound of applause and shouts is endless!
In the other 20 or so movie theaters that are simultaneously showing "A Chinese Ghost Story", the scene is the same!
If many viewers didn't expect much from "A Chinese Ghost Story" at the beginning, then now "A Chinese Ghost Story" has completely occupied their hearts. Even though the broadcast has ended, the audience is still intoxicated by the beautiful romantic love story.
They are Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian, and Yan Chixia...... Sigh for the love of people and ghosts, but so lingering and complaining!
"Ah Luo, we've succeeded!" Chen Xiaodong looked extremely excited, and even trembled slightly between his words.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" is different from other big cast movies, and the only big name who can get it is Zhang Baorong. It's just that this singing superstar has not yet achieved anything in the film industry. Therefore, the entire crew is composed of a bunch of ordinary filmmakers.
After several months of shooting, whether it is contradictions, happiness, or hardships, it finally turns into infinite excitement at this moment.
The actor has no box office appeal? The crew has been rumored to be discordant and has a scandal? It doesn't matter, now we have succeeded!
Even if this is a costume ghost film abandoned by the audience in Xiangjiang, it has never been favored, and it has always been questioned by the media that the actors have no acting skills at all, and the directors and producers have no ability at all. So what? We succeeded!
This was followed by hugs again and again. Whether it is Chen Xiaodong or Liu Haitang, or Zhang Baorong and Wang Xiaoxian, who are already extremely excited at this time. All the main creators and actors of "A Chinese Ghost Story" enthusiastically gave Chen Jialuo and Chen Xiaodong an affectionate hug!
"Ah Luo, Xiaodong, you have succeeded!"
"Congratulations!"
Xu You, Mu Nan and others naturally watched "A Chinese Ghost Story" a long time ago, but at the moment, they were infected by emotions, and they also stood up and hugged them.
Compared with the excitement and enthusiasm of Chen Xiaodong and others, Chen Jialuo was much calmer. He was smiling, but he was shouting in his heart. He wants to use this "A Chinese Ghost Story" to tell those who are not optimistic about him: My movie cannot be questioned!
What about the negative press? As long as I can come up with excellent works, my film dream will definitely be extremely brilliant.
The audience also warmly applauded themselves, not for anything else, because the movies he made could move themselves, and they could enjoy the visual feast and the shock of the soul!
It was not only the audience who was crazy at the scene, but also the reporters around the scene, as well as the film critics who had come closer!
The flash is constantly flashing, and at this point, do you still need to skimp on film?
If the people who murdered the most films at the beginning were Xu You, Chen Jialuo and Zhang Baorong, then the well-deserved celebrity at this moment is Wang Xiaoxian!
This little girl, who is only in her early twenties, came to Xiangjiang from Taiwan to pursue her dreams. can finally rely on this "A Chinese Ghost Story" and raise my eyebrows.
It is said that from the planning to the post-production of this "A Chinese Ghost Story", Chen Jialuo almost single-handedly completed it. Later, Chen Xiaodong was just a puppet director. However, this is also in line with the style of Yidu Film Company, but I am too curious about this Chen Jialuo. As the editor-in-chief of Film Weekly, Liang Shou's status among Hong Kong film critics can be said to be second to none.
The reason why he came to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" was the result of the invitation of his friend Long Xiaomi. Anyway, Fang Long's films are nothing more than those thrilling actions and big scenes, and he was naturally moved by Long Xiaomi's words to come to Lisheng Cinema.
I didn't expect this time, and I really wasn't disappointed.
The film critics who mingle with the crowd today are the two editors of Movie Weekly, who are the biggest names. However, more film critics pay attention to movies such as "Plan A Sequel", "Autumn Fairy Tale", and "Jianghu Fengyun".
More film critics are not optimistic about "A Chinese Ghost Story", but in a relatively comparative situation, those big actions or literary movies are obviously more attractive to them.
Liang Hong's words made Long Xiaomi smile at him and smile: "The "Night in Mong Kok" filmed by this little guy back then was very good, but unfortunately it did not do enough in terms of commercial components. This time's "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very thoughtful. In particular, he dares to try different themes and does not follow the trend, I think Xiangjiang movies should be diverse, multi-elemental, and blooming everywhere. Brother Hong, what do you think?"
