Verse 334: The Amazing Puppet

There weren't many real viewers at the premiere this time, and they all came in with free tickets, so there was no such thing as a group of fanatical fans of a certain crew member. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoUnder such a composition of the audience, the audience present should be calm and objective, but the scene did not see this at all - the atmosphere of the scene was so warm that it seemed that the roof was about to be torn down, everyone was standing, some were sitting, but without exception, they were all applauding, and most of the people were very excited, looking at the stage.

After the crew members came on stage, the host wanted to speak several times, but the applause at the scene was too warm, and the whistles were everywhere, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to interject.

Du An looked at the scene in front of him, and Shu Yu's voice was lowered beside him.

"Looks okay. ”

He turned his head and glanced at Shu Yu, and saw that she was looking at the audience with a calm face, and her face was calm, which made him almost wonder if he had hallucinated just now.

However, Shu Yu's pursed lips still let him know that he didn't have auditory hallucinations, and the "compliment" just now was indeed what Shu Yu said-that's right, that sentence just now was a compliment for Shu Yu. Words like "You are the king of the world", Shu Yu only said it that night in order to stimulate herself, and the rest of the time she was silent about herself.

So Du An nodded imperceptibly, his lips squirmed, and he responded in a voice that only Shu Yu, who was close to him, could hear, "Yes, it's okay." ”

Since Shu Yu was dragged into the quagmire of the theater by him, Shu Yu's trust in him seems to be disappearing little by little, and even distrust of the movie "Liberation Day" can be easily seen from her performance and some actions before the release, but now, the audience's reaction seems to have made her regain trust in her partner, and she seems to realize that even if Duane fails in investment, he is invincible and will not fail in film.

It's easy to wait until the audience's emotions gradually calm down, and the host can finally start to preside over the final curtain call.

According to the established process, the curtain call is very short, and it only takes about five minutes to walk, but now it takes five minutes just to wait for the audience to calm down, and seeing the enthusiasm of the audience, including media friends, the crew temporarily decided to set aside more time to interact with the audience and the media - maybe there will be free news coming out.

So, it took half an hour to complete the curtain call.

After the end here, the big guys left the show in turn, and soon it was empty - Shanghai Grand Theater was not a theater in the first place, this time it was an exception to give the premiere of "Liberation Day" a face, but it doesn't mean that it will be put down repeatedly, if you want to watch a movie, you still have to go to a special cinema.

However, the crew is here to disperse, which does not mean that today's event ends here, they still have a celebration banquet to attend, drinking and eating, and when they go home, it is already early in the morning......

The next morning Duane was woken up cold.

He only felt that his lower body was cold, and he opened his eyes in a daze, sat up, and looked down, only to find that he was wearing a pair of underwear underneath, and nothing else, and now he was all exposed to the air.

Now that the summer has passed, there was another typhoon on the beach just two days ago, the temperature dropped quickly, and he usually had to cover himself with a quilt when he slept. As for the upper body, it was because he wore a short-sleeved shirt, so it was okay and not particularly cold.

Duane turned his head to look to the side, and as he expected, he saw a small thing wrapped in an air conditioner, curled up motionless, looking very well-behaved.

"Alas......"

Duane shook his head, his legs subconsciously rubbed because of the cold, and then quickly got out of bed and ran to the closet to find clothes and pants to wear, which was warm.

He returned to the bed, walked to Su Jin's side and squatted down to look at her-she was sleeping soundly with her face facing this side, her little face was flushed, the corners of her mouth were still hooked with a smirk, and she didn't know if she had dreamed of something good.

Su Jin also went to yesterday's celebration banquet, the premiere of "Liberation Day" was a great success, she was happier than Duane, she drank a lot of joy, and the two of them didn't know how to get back, they went to bed without even changing their pajamas, and they were woken up by freezing like now...... Uh, correct, and Duane woke up from the cold, and she slept warmly in the old man's house.

It can be seen that although she has never said anything, Du An, who has always been invincible, is also very worried about her loss in investment in the past six months, so it is not difficult to understand that she will be so happy after seeing that Du Yin is still so successful and popular in movies.

Duane leaned over and kissed her on the corner of the mouth, then stood up and swayed outside.

After washing up, he went downstairs to buy some breakfast, and of course when he came back, he bought all the newspapers he could buy - he did it every time his movie came out, and it had become his habit.

When he got home, he sat down in the living room, opened the bag and took a bite of the sandwich in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the newspaper in front of him, and then he frowned, not knowing whether it was because the sandwich was unpalatable or because there was something bad in the newspaper.

Looking along his line of sight, you can see that the newspaper headline he is reading is like this, "Eighteen years of sharpening a sword, Zhang Yimou finally completed his transcendence of himself".

This is a report from the Shanghai Morning Post.

Duane stared at the title for a full five or six seconds, not knowing what he was thinking, before finally his eyes finally looked away from the title and looked down.

Yesterday, the film "Liberation Day", directed by Du An, with Zhang Yi and Huang Jianxin as assistant directors, premiered at the Shanghai Grand Theater...... The chief director Du An strongly praised director Zhang Yi, saying that he received strong support from director Zhang Yi during the filming process, and the production of the whole movie was inseparable from director Zhang Yi, saying that director Zhang Yi surpassed himself...... Unlike the scolding of the city when "Jaguar" was released, this "Liberation Day" received full applause after the premiere, and everyone thought that it was an excellent main theme film, a different main theme film...... Director Zhang Yi has spent 18 years sharpening a good sword, which makes people look forward to his upcoming release of "Golden Armor" at the end of the year......"

After Duane finished reading it, his eyes did not take his eyes off, and his eyes were still on the newspaper, but his eyes were not focused, and he was already out of the world at first glance.

is obviously the report of "Liberation Day", and he is the chief director, but this report is trying its best to exaggerate the role played by Zhang Yimou in it, and from the perspective of the masses who do not know the truth, I am afraid that he, the chief director, is just a puppet, and Zhang Yi, the assistant director, is the real director.

It's like Lu Chuan and Jiang Wen in "Looking for a Gun".

But Du An's also had to admit that there was really no nonsense in this newspaper, and he did praise Zhang Yimou's role in the film, saying that this was Zhang Yimou's transcendence of himself, but he was just trying to resolve the crisis at the time, but he didn't expect to be climbed down this rope......

He smelled a hint of conspiracy.

First, a reporter highlighted the fact that it was so difficult at the premiere, and then a report came out and chased after his words, insisting on cutting his credit, disgusting him, and fixing him, who would believe this coincidence?

Who is it......

Duane stared at the newspaper without focus, and after a while, his eyes were refocused, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head and chuckled silently.

That's interesting, I didn't even want to pay attention to you, but you have to jump out on your own......

Duane's eyes flickered, and he quickly had a plan in his heart, and then he whistled, and threw the newspaper aside, grabbing another look.

This is "Declaration", today's headline is the grand occasion of the National Day outing, turning to the entertainment version, and the headline is the premiere of "Liberation Day".

This is normal, there are a lot of movies in the National Day file, but if you want to say that the weight is heavy, you have to count "Liberation Day" and "Baby Plan".

Out of the tacit understanding between the two parties, the two movies were deliberately staggered, "Baby Plan" held its premiere in Beijin, "Liberation Day" was in Shanghai, and the local newspapers in Shanghai naturally reported after "Liberation Day".

And the title of the report of "Declaration" on the film that made the Shanghai Grand Theater make an exception to screen and hold its premiere is like this.

"The Importance of Viewing Film Technology from Liberation Day".

"Yesterday, the main theme film "Liberation Day", which cost 400 million yuan, held its premiere in Shanghai...... The film uses a large number of special effects scenes to be lifelike, almost no different from real-life shooting, from which we can see the rapid development of China's film special effects industry, and a large number of real and natural special effects scenes also make the film more convincing...... Chinese films are developing rapidly and are dominant, but they are also in a rigid predicament, the repetition of the subject matter, the lack of novelty, the stagnation of shooting techniques, the old-fashioned ideas, etc., all make people worry about the future of Chinese films, but the appearance of "Liberation Day" answers this question...... In the past, in my country's movies, stunts were only embellishments, but in "Liberation Day", stunts sang the protagonist, and judging from the feedback from the audience, the effect was still very good...... Computer special skills can do things that cannot be done by traditional shooting methods, and can provide special and unique pictures, which may be considered as an important development direction of Chinese films in the future......"

After reading this report, Duane had already eaten the sandwich in his hand.

He tossed the bag into the trash can and took another newspaper and looked at it.

"Unprecedented Liberation Day - Can the main theme still be filmed like this?"

This newspaper is more inclined to the professional direction, which is "Pictorial".

"Yesterday, the main theme film "Liberation Day" held its premiere at the Shanghai Grand Theater and launched a global simultaneous screening...... Bombing Beijin, bombing Zhongnanhai, the first lady who is afraid of death, a soldier who hesitates for a long time in the face of the choice of sacrificing herself to save all mankind, the chairman who is handsome enough to make idol dramas, etc., yes, you read that right, this is really not a spoof film, but an orthodox main theme film, a main theme movie with positive roots...... We have been saying that the main theme movie can't be made, it's not easy to shoot, and no one likes to watch the main theme movie, but Director Duane used this "Liberation Day" to punch the person who said these words hard - it's not that the main theme can't be made, but you can't shoot it, the main theme is filmed, it's just as exciting and good-looking...... From "Liberation Day", we can see that the character settings of director Du An's characters have their deep meanings, and the shaping of the characters is even more eclectic, digging deep into the comprehensiveness of human nature, and no longer facing the audience with a unified heroic face as in the past. These heroes in the film can laugh and cry, have seven emotions and six desires, but they can defeat their own whispers with noble character at the moment of life and death, and judging from the audience's feedback, they don't hate such 'unorthodox' heroes whose image is not particularly tall, but like it very much...... Removing the unified mask, portraying more details and excavating the characters' personalities, perhaps this is the correct way to open the so-called 'hero'...... Duane used "Liberation Day" to teach all directors who have made and want to make films with the main theme a good lesson, and the youngest Huabiao Award for Best Director proved with amazing creativity that his controversial award is worthy of its name......"

A series of words such as "teaching", "amazing", "worthy of the name" and so on flashed in Duane's eyes, making him a little embarrassed to look at it.

"It's true, but wouldn't it be nice to write it like that?"

Duane muttered to himself as he watched, "Readers should think that this reporter took our money after reading it......" He said this, tilting his head and thinking for a moment, not sure if they had really stuffed money into this newspaper in addition to the normal red envelopes.

Finally he shook his head, didn't think about it, tossed the newspaper aside, and took the next one......

In addition to touting "Liberation Day", of course, there are also disparagements, there has never been anything in this world that can be appreciated and convinced by everyone.

"Best Director Lost Himself" is an article written by a film critic in a special issue.

“…… In the whole film, I only saw boring explosions, car explosions, building explosions, flat ground explosions, and airplane explosions...... The old drunkard had inexplicably great courage just by looking at the photo, and his mind changed too abruptly, and so did the pilots and engineers. In this film, everyone's personality changes are so abrupt and rough that it makes one wonder if this movie was made by the talented young man who won the best director last year - I still remember how rich and natural the emotions and personalities of the characters in "One Flew Over the Asylum" were, and every action made me so intoxicated that it was not at all comparable to this shoddy "Liberation Day...... With rough characters, endless stunts, and a hollow and weak plot, "Liberation Day" disappointed me......"

There were a few articles like this, and Duane looked at them one by one and didn't pay attention to their words.

"Liberation Day" and "One Flew Over the Asylum" are inherently different.

In general, the newspapers and magazines praise "Liberation Day" more than criticism, but these are not the point, his focus this time is the box office, and the box office is not just blown out by the media, the box office depends on the public's feelings.

So after reading all these newspapers, Du An's went to the study, and he didn't call Su Jin, planning to let her sleep well on the National Day.

When he got to the study and sat down and turned on the computer, Du An's did not open Douban on the webpage, but directly logged in to the Penguin number and clicked on the five groups in turn.

Judging by the title, these are groups of movie lovers, and Duane has been quietly lurking in these groups for a month.

With the development of netizens and the increase of soybean oil, together with the development and growth of many semi-professional film critics, Du An's discovery that the correlation between Douban's scoring system and the box office of the movie is really getting worse and worse.
