Chapter 150: The Premiere
The filming process was intense, and after two months of intense shooting, the pre-shooting of "The Ugly Girl" was finally completed, and the rest was the post-editing and production.
However, Lin Qi and Dong Weiwei could not be idle, and the start of post-production meant that publicity had also begun.
"I'm tired!" Lin Qi, who had been busy all day, lay on the sofa and let out such an exclamation.
Looking at Lin Qi, Dong Weiwei said with a smile: "It's tiring to be busy, I'm really idle, and I'm bored, people are like this." β
"What's wrong today? A philosopher's posture!" Lin Qi looked at Dong Weiwei and said with a smile.
"You still have the posture of my philosopher, don't forget, we have another event in the evening. Dong Weiwei glanced at Lin Qi: "You have already agreed to this matter, and it is not appropriate for you not to go." β
Sitting up from the sofa tiredly, Lin Qi said with a smile: "That's right, it must be wanted, Zhao Heri personally called, and Chang Xin's attitude was also very resolute." β
"Of course, the second movie of Shenma Entertainment is not your work yet. Dong Weiwei said with a smile.
"I really don't know what they're worried about!" Lin Qi shook his head and said with a wry smile.
Dong Weiwei said as a matter of course: "Worry is certain, this work is not your script, nor is it your screenwriter, of course you have to worry." Aren't you worried? This is the first adaptation of Huaxia Literature Network. β
"Of the four adaptations, there are two this year, and the remaining two TV series will be pushed to next year, and Shenma Entertainment is still a bit small. Lin Qi said with a smile: "Look at those big companies, which one is not a lot of works a year." β
"This 'Trucker' is just a low-budget horror film, and they are just too nervous. β
"Just look at it this way, Heri not only won 1,500 screens, but also released it simultaneously across the country, if it really loses, Zhao Heri will definitely be in a bad mood. Dong Weiwei said teasingly.
"Then I'll pit him!" Lin Qi said nonchalantly.
Stretching out her hand to pull Lin Qi up, Dong Weiwei said with a smile: "Let's go to the company!" Chang Xin has already called to urge, and the clothing team and makeup team on the company's side are already waiting. β
"The premiere of our company's own film is still a low-cost production, and it is still so exciting, and there is no atmosphere of a big company. After complaining, Lin Qi still stood up obediently and followed Dong Weiwei out of the door.
The premiere of "Truck Driver" was held at Feiyang Cinema in the center of Beijing, and after 7 p.m., there were more people here.
There are many journalists and fans, and as time goes by, more and more stars have walked on the red carpet.
Basically all the signed artists of WhatsMiner Entertainment were present, F4, SHE, Wang Qiang, Extraordinary Combination, and the main creator of the movie, when Lin Qi and Dong Weiwei walked on the red carpet together, the atmosphere of the scene was at a climax.
The reporters standing on both sides quickly pressed the shutter of the camera in their hands, and the two of them did not travel fast, and they also posed from time to time to take pictures of the reporters.
This time, the premiere was held by Nikwa Productions, so there were not many celebrities who cheered on it.
Coming to the end of the red carpet, the hostess said with a smile: "These two are today's heavyweight films, the bosses of Shenma Entertainment, and I won't introduce the other identities one by one." β
"I want to ask a question on behalf of fans, there are rumors in the circle about the two of them's new films, I don't know if the two of you have anything to say?" asked the hostess with a smile.
Lin Qi said with a smile: "The preliminary shooting of the new film has been completed, and we should meet you in the New Year." β
After all, this is not Lin Qi's new film press conference, and the hostess just clicked to the end, so she changed a question: "About this "Truck Driver", it is an adaptation of Huaxia Literature Network under Shenma Literature, and now the concept of Internet literature is hot, and there is a lot of criticism, I don't know what Lin always thinks about this problem?"
"Actually, I don't like the concept of online literature very much, literature is literature, since ancient times, there is no first, and there is no second. Lin Qi said with a smile: "In the past, many of the Yuefu poems were sung by the people, but now they seem to be quite artistic. β
"The emergence of a new industry will inevitably be accompanied by criticism, and we can give it some time and believe that there will be good results. β
"As for the adaptation of film and television dramas, I believe it is not a new thing, Shenma Literature and Shenma Entertainment will vigorously promote the adaptation of film and television dramas, and the works that everyone likes on the Internet, naturally fans also hope that they can be put on the screen. β
The hostess smiled and nodded: "What about the box office of this movie?"
"Compared with the box office, I want to make a good work, a good work will naturally be recognized by the audience, and there will be a good box office. Lin Qi said with a smile: "This is what I have always believed in and pursued, and it is also pursued by Shenma Film and Television." β
"It's an adaptation, it's also a horror movie, and I hope that both fans of the original book and horror movie lovers who haven't seen the original book can think that this is a good movie, and that's enough. β
Lin Qi basically said clichΓ©s, on this occasion, of course Lin Qi would not say anything substantial, and it was easy to be a reason to be attacked afterwards.
"Let's thank Director Lin, and thank you Weiwei!" The host saw that the time was almost up, and ended the interview.
Walking into the screening hall hand in hand with Dong Weiwei, Lin Qi found that a lot of people had gathered here, and Chang Xin and Zhao Heri were talking and laughing. Fans who bought tickets for the premiere are looking for autographs from the author.
"Sign the book!" Lin Qi said with a smile: "There are still a lot of people who want it, which is a good thing." β
Seeing Lin Qi and Dong Weiwei, Zhao Heri and Chang Xin all greeted them, and the main creators of the movie also greeted them.
Lin Qi greeted them one by one, and finally Lin Qi came to the director of this movie, Jiang Tao, as a well-known horror film director in the circle, Jiang Tao had a very good impression of Lin Qi.
This director's trip, he thinks it's very good, in addition to arranging a heroine to come over, Shenma Entertainment gave him a lot of autonomy.
Although the heroine is arranged, this is too normal in the circle, and Shenma Entertainment praised its own artists and said that it is acceptable anywhere.
"Director Jiang, this time we have a very happy cooperation, I wonder if Director Jiang has any intention of continuing to cooperate with Shenma Entertainment?" Lin Qi held Jiang Tao's hand and said with a smile.
Jiang Tao was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lin Qi to make such a request at this time.
In Jiang Tao's opinion, it is a good choice to wait until the movie is released and look at the results. If the box office is good, then continue to cooperate, if the ticket seller is not good, then do not cooperate, this is a common practice in the industry.
