Chapter 23 Screening in the Courtyard
For Wang Meng's news, the students in the drama are no longer surprised, but the news of Wang Meng's movie premiere today still spread.
There are those who are envious and jealous, and there are also many people who feel inspirational, so many people choose to take a look.
There are huge posters and promotional on the drama website, Wang Meng continues the promotional poster of the previous movie, Ren Quan stands on a picture similar to the surface of the earth, at first glance, it looks very sci-fi......
At this time, Wang Meng was called to the office by Director Lu, and there were two middle-aged people in the office, one of them was mediocre, but his eyes were sharp, and he looked capable.
On the other side is a well-dressed tunic with a flat head and a round face.
After Wang Meng came in, he was in a trance, isn't this middle-aged man in a tunic the third master of Han who often appeared on the scene of major movies in his previous life?
Wang Mengzhen didn't expect Director Lu's interpersonal relationships to be so extensive, and as for the other middle-aged man, it seems that he is not a simple role.
"Xiao Wang, come and get to know your parents, these two take care of you a little, and your movie will not be released. Director Lu introduced: "This is a famous filmmaker, a leader in the distribution industry, Yu Dong, the general manager of Huanyu. β
When Wang Meng heard it, no wonder he was so familiar, it turned out to be him. Hurriedly shook his hand and knew it: "Mr. Yu has admired his name for a long time, so I can't say that I want to trouble you?"
"Hey, Director Lu is polite...... Yu Dong was very polite, and said to Wang Meng: "Director Xiao Wang is young and promising, some time ago, I heard that a young director is going to make a science fiction film, but I didn't expect to see a real person......!
"If you are smaller, you are welcome, Xiao Wang is a junior I am very optimistic about, and I have the conditions to take care of it......" Director Lu gave Wang Meng a position, and the juniors said it.
Not only was the third master of Donghan stunned, but Wang Meng was also surprised, this favor was a bit big.
Director Lu is the storage of the Chinese film Taishan Beidou, who has been engaged in the film industry for more than 40 years, and has contacts all over China, plus he has the title of vice president of the drama and director of the directing department, which has to be weighed......
Ignoring the surprise of a few people, Director Lu introduced to Wang Meng again: "Deputy Director of China Film Han, my most optimistic filmmaker in China at present, and also a hero of Chinese films. β
Of course this Wang Meng knows, and he still knows it like thunder.
It's not that Wang Meng tends to be inflammatory. But such a person must be befriended, although the Zhongying in this life does not have so much power, but it is also what Wang Meng needs to look up to now.
"Hello Director Han, I have heard of your name for a long time, I heard Director Lu say that you helped approve the review of this movie, and I wanted to go to the door to thank you, but I didn't expect to see you now, thank you for your support. Wang Meng looked sincere and full of affection. Let Han Sanye feel that this guy is very good.
Han Sanye said: "It's not as mysterious as you said, who dares to slack off on the film that Director Lu applied for, half of the people on the review committee are either Director Lu's junior protΓ©gΓ©s, or they are in awe of Director Lu, of course they have to show it well, I'm an errand ......."
exchanged a few polite words of greetings, and several people came to the screening hall of the play with a smile.
The 500-seat screening hall was almost full. In addition to the members of Wang Meng's crew, they are students of this school. It's just that I didn't expect that there were a few reporters who wanted to dig up some news, and a few film critics who came to the show.
These reporters and film critics were by no means invited by Wang Mengneng, and it seems that they underestimated the signboard of the play.
But come to think of it, after all, the advertisements on the homepage have been playing for nearly half a month, so some film critics and reporters from the magic capital have come.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the screening ceremony began, and several leading actors, including Wang Meng, came on stage to make some brief introductions, to be honest, everyone came to the name of the play, and few people really cared about Wang Meng.
It's still surprising to see the director's young appearance.
"Tiantian, this is your brother?"
Offstage, Wang Meng didn't know that her sister Wang Tian was absent from class to watch the screening, and she also brought her girlfriend to introduce to her brother.
"How handsome, I told my brother that I want to introduce you to him and be my sister-in-law. Wang Tian looked excitedly at Wang Meng, who was preparing to give a speech on stage.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is going to be your sister-in-law. Wang Tian's little beauty classmate pouted.
Wang Tian didn't think so, and said: "What's the matter, you still suffer a loss as my sister-in-law, my brother is handsome and talented, I just look at you pleasing to the eye, so I can cheapen you." β
"Oops, who said ......"
"Okay, that's it, my brother is going to speak, stop talking. β
Wang Meng on the stage looked at the people in the audience, and a sense of satisfaction that had never existed spontaneously arose, and he brewed a feeling and said: "First of all, thank you for coming, here I want to thank you for the support of the play, and I would like to thank Director Lu of the director department for his selfless help...... At the same time, I would like to thank several leading actors, as well as the staff behind the scenes, you are the biggest contributors......"
"Hulala!" applause, after Wang Meng stepped down, the movie officially began.
"What was my speech just now?" sat next to Wang Meng was Wang Peng.
Wang Peng was also very nervous, and said with a smile: "It's ...... average."
The movie has officially begun.
The movie does not have an advertisement from the production company, but simply opens with an introduction of the leading actors and others.
The last few big words appeared [director Wang Meng's work]
Wang Meng, who saw these words, was relaxed and happy, clenching his fists tightly.
At the beginning of the movie, Huang Cheng, played by Ren Quan, is packing up his things and moving, with a heavy appearance.
Then a few friends came to see him off, and the story slowly unfolded.
"Yes, although I read the script, but this kind of brain-filled soft sci-fi is really unusual!!What do you think?" Han Sanye lowered his head and asked Yu Dong.
After all, if the film could, they would need to run the distribution.
"Don't worry, it's just the beginning. The whole article is full of discussion and justification, and the next step is to test the skills of the actors and the setting of the script, let's see. Yu Dong was very calm.
I didn't expect to release such a movie at all, but for the sake of Director Lu's face, I hope there will be a surprise.
As the story progresses, everyone cares about it.
"Hey, it's a caveman who has lived for 14,000 years, and it's clever. But...... This kind of setting needs to be portrayed perfectly, but it is not easy to ...... "This is a film critic who paid attention to it when he learned that Shangju was going to shoot China's first science fiction movie, and today I came to study it specially."
"This is too, is it, there will be such a person?" said the student who appeared in the play disdainfully.
The classmate next to him watched it very seriously, and when he heard his friend's dissatisfaction, he said: "People said, this is a science fiction movie, I think it's very novel with such a setting, the key is how to deal with it next......
Wang Meng saw everyone's whispers and said that it was fake not to be nervous, but fortunately the beginning attracted everyone, and although some people were dissatisfied, they all continued to watch.
"I'm going to be friends with Zheng He, and Zheng He also invited him to go to the West, this Nima is too good to think about it......"
"Yes, Qi Baishi is also his friend......"
"The design of this line is amazing, although I don't understand it, but it seems to be very good......"
"Genetic evolution, historical evolution, religious thought? This director's heart is too big, isn't it?"
Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Meng knew that half of the success was done, and everyone was attracted, although not all of them, but half of them watched it very well.
"Isn't that a lie? What about science fiction? Let's see a few crazy people bragging......"
"What a broken movie, I don't understand ...... at all"
There are also people who don't like it, but fortunately there are few such people. I mostly thought of the sci-fi movie in my mind and compared this movie, so the disappointment is certain......
Wang Meng already knew that such a situation would happen, just like the previous life, isn't it also half praise and criticism, but the score of 8.4 affirms the name of a wonderful movie.
"Interesting, I'm sure that after this film comes out, it will become a big discussion, this little director is really bold, he even compared the Yellow Emperor and talked to Lao Tzu. There are topics that make the media and film critics spray each other. Yu Dong said to Han Sanye.
"So, are you optimistic and ready to release?" said Han Sanye with a smile.
Yu Dong said: "Aren't you also like this?"
"Indeed, Chinese films need to have different genres, we need this kind of science fiction very much, not only literature and art, and now China has almost entered a strange circle. It's just to win awards, and I don't care if you look at it or not! Look at Hollywood again? More and more special effects blockbusters are starting to conquer cities all over the world, and I ...... trouble when I think about it."
Han Sanye seemed to be very emotional......
Then he said: "I was already following this movie. As long as the film is passable, out of the broadening of the genre of Chinese films, or to give everyone a new idea, as long as there is some reference and discussion significance, I will promote it, even if it doesn't make money......"
Yu Dong knows Han Sanye's positioning, he is a businessman who needs money, and Sanye needs results.
Not to mention the money made by this movie, the results are certain, so Yu Dong is very transparent about Han Sanye's words.
"Well, look at it again, as long as the story can end successfully, there are not too many loopholes. I think it has a certain commercial value, and it can even sell well at the box office. Yu Dong said.
No matter what everyone thinks, the story continues, and everyone is also made up for by the dialogue of the actors in the film.
Even the audience who complained just now said: "Don't say it, I think it's rubbish at first, but it's still very good when you look at it carefully." β
"I've long said it's a good movie, and you have to be tolerant of such a novel subject matter. β
Until the end of the movie, the sudden death of the psychiatrist and the departure of Huang Cheng, the story ended.
And the loopholes have been filled, and what was unacceptable to everyone at the beginning can now be recognized. After all, it's a science fiction film, what else do you need to have such logic and tables?
The flowers bloom two and each show a branch, and those who can't accept it still think it's a bad movie, wasting time to watch a madman brag.
At this time, Wang Meng was a little uneasy, but the film was over, but it was very quiet.
In an instant, Wang Meng was disappointed, did everyone think it was not good-looking, and even gave some applause.
Yu Dong glanced at Han Sanye, and the two nodded to indicate that the film was good.
Then the two stood up and began to applaud with great satisfaction......
"Boom la la ......"
A spark can start a prairie fire, and for a while, roaring applause rang out. It's not that everyone didn't applaud just now, but they were attracted by the plot, and it was over for a while, and they were still thinking about the dialogue in the film.
"Hurry up to the stage......" Looking at Wang Meng, who was stunned, Wang Peng reminded with tears in his eyes.
Wang Meng knows that he has a soul that does not belong to this world, but he needs the affirmation of this world.
Finally part of the world.
"Yes, it didn't disappoint me. When passing by Director Lu, Lao Lu held Wang Meng's hand tightly.
Wang Meng couldn't say anything at the moment, all he was thanking him.
The leading actor and others also gave Wang Meng encouragement, and even Li Bingbing jokingly said, "I want a red envelope after the movie is a big hit." β
But Han Sanye and Yu Dong said: "Director Xiao Wang, it seems that we are going to cooperate." β
stepped onto the rostrum, Wang Meng was different from the beginning of the film, just now it was a formal cutscene, and now it is the steadfastness after being affirmed by everyone.
"Whew...... Let me start by saying that I am at ease......"
"Haha, director, you are the best. The ones who cheered were Chen Chichi and others, who were good with Wang Meng.
"Thank you, thank you, I think my brain is very messy, and I may be a little incoherent, before I am completely confused, I would like to thank Director Lu, the producer of this film...... and the actors of the film who gave me great encouragement...... , as well as the behind-the-scenes people who pay silently...... Finally, I would like to thank the professors of Fudan University who provided the scientific basis for this film......"
"The birth of a one-step film is never a simple thing, and there are many people who have worked hard in it. So when the movie is recognized by everyone, it is the greatest encouragement for us. From your applause I know that we succeeded, we did it, and we were not disappointed by those who supported us. Again, it confirms that we are making movies with our hearts, not just playing......"
This sentence can be said to be what Wang Meng wants to say the most, he can't forget the despise of reporters when the opening ceremony was launched.
He continued: "As a newcomer to the film industry and a student of the directing department, your applause has given me the courage to continue to be a director, thank you again, and finally, I would like to say that I will work harder to create new works in the future, and as long as there are people who support me, I will never let you down......
"Boom, la......" everyone gave warm applause.
Wang Meng's final speech finally showed the self-confidence of a young man and the sharpness of a new director, rather than the regulations in the form of a whole article.
After that, the leading actors came to the stage one by one to thank them.
Although, the success at the moment is not a success in the real sense, the next release and box office are the most critical basis......
But at least there are wings to take off......
