491. Premiere of "Painted Skin" (Part I)
On November 28th, the weather was gray and smog swept through Kyoto once again.
People have brought masks when they travel, and the best way to escape the smog is to hide at home, enjoy the warm heating, and leisurely play on the computer or watch TV......
But for some people in the city, the smog doesn't stop them from going out today, because there's an even bigger reason to get out of the house and head to the theater, because on this very day, the movie "Painted Skin" will have its official national premiere.
With the wonderful trailers released by the world film and television company in the past month, the public opinion and expectations of the film "Painted Skin" have increased one after another, the fairies and ghosts at the end of the play, as well as the amazing special effects, Liu Yifei's beautiful shape, and Yuan Hong's tough and handsome image are the focus of heated discussions among the audience, which can be called the most anticipated movie in 2007, and is far ahead on the list, "Painted Skin" naturally has its own uniqueness.
Naturally, media reporters will not let go of this kind of moment, although the weather is cold and there is smog, but this does not affect their enthusiasm for work, and even more than an hour before the premiere, the door of the theater is already full of people.
"Dude, which newspaper is it?" After checking all the equipment, Wang Xiaohu looked at a reporter who was still fiddling with the camera next to him and asked with a smile.
"Me?" The reporter who was checking the camera pointed to himself and saw the other person nodding, and then replied, "I am from Apple." ”
"Sure enough, the big media, this camera just looks different." Wang Xiaohu glanced at the camera in the hand of the Apple Daily reporter with some envy, and then looked at the 'equipment' in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh.
The reporter didn't show off anything when he heard this, but smiled shyly and continued to play with the camera in his hand.
But the reporter was cold. But it doesn't mean that Wang Xiaohu can stop his words.
From the number of the reporter's ticket to the performance of the camera, half an hour later, the reporter was finally captured under Wang Xiaohu's continuous verbal offensive.
"My name is Wang Tao, and I am from Apple Entertainment, what about you?" Wang Tao said while taking out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Wang Xiaohu first. Take one in your mouth, too.
Yuxi!? What a cigarette, Wang Xiaohu took the cigarette with a smile and took out the lighter, but he didn't light it for himself first, but lit it for Wang Tao with great discernment, and then lit it for himself, and then took a beautiful puff.
"My name is Wang Xiaohu, but it's not the little boy with a tiger head in the fairy sword, he is a small one. I'm the dawn of the dawn, I work at Jianghai Daily. ”
"Jiang Hai? It seems like a pretty big newspaper, man, how did you get mixed up like this, buddy? Wang Tao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and glanced at the camera in Wang Xiaohu's hand, obviously everything was self-evident.
Wang Xiaohu was not shy on his face, and answered this question very calmly.
"The newspaper is big enough, but there are many departments, and Jianghai Daily mainly reports on current affairs and life. Our entertainment sector is still newly opened, and everything has to be struggled from scratch. ”
Said here. Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but sigh a few words, and talked about the hardships of a rookie department like himself, and how he was despised and looked down upon by those political departments and life departments on weekdays.
"Brother, let me tell you, what we do is really entertainment reporters, but those calves say behind their backs that we are doing paparazzi. Do you say these people lack morality? We all go through formal interview channels, and every interview is also reserved, why is it a paparazzi? Can it be the same as those petty paparazzi? ”
"Yes, these days, the reputation of our entertainment has been ruined by the paparazzi." Wang Tao obviously agreed with Wang Xiaohu's words. Obviously, I have been more or less wronged in this regard.
In fact, real entertainment reporters, as Wang Xiaohu said, all follow formal interview channels, and they also chase news, but they will face the interview directly, and will not engage in candid photography like the paparazzi, but at present, the concept of these two types of entertainment reporters in mainland China is relatively vague, so sometimes those regular entertainment reporters are likely to be mistaken for paparazzi.
When the topic was chatting, I unconsciously shifted to the red carpet show and premiere of "Painted Skin" for a while, after all, this is the focus of today.
There's so much to talk about for this highly anticipated movie.
"Have you watched the previous versions of the trailer, my favorite is the third version, the special effects, it's really incurable, I don't think it's much better than Hollywood blockbusters." Wang Xiaohu sighed loudly.
"How much more? In my opinion, it's better than the average Hollywood blockbuster, and the five estimates are a fight with the top special effects teams of Light and Magic, haven't you heard that the eliminated special effects engines sold by Phantom recently are worth hundreds of millions, don't look at it as a knockout product, it's still Shijie first-class, and it's been grabbed by many domestic movie special effects companies, how strong are their current special effects? ”
"I'll tell you another piece of news, I heard that Director Ye really has enough money, this special effects team has let Director Ye spend more than 100 million yuan out of his own pocket for a few years, which is why he has today's results, sure enough, those who can play this kind of thing are given to rich people, I think there is Director Ye in China, and the rest of the film companies might as well make a few more blockbusters if they have this fund."
Wang Tao was very disdainful when he heard Wang Xiaohu's emotion and adjectives, and felt that this was simply an insult to the phantom, and he was full of admiration for this domestic No. 1 special effects team, so he continued to increase his appreciation, and also revealed some inside information to Wang Xiaohu to know.
When he heard that the special effects company had invested more than 100 million, this figure really made Wang Xiaohu's eyes widen, Mom, how much money can be made to make a movie to earn back?
Wang Xiaohu had deep doubts about the number provided by Wang Tao in his heart, but what he didn't know was that the figure exposed by Wang Tao was indeed true.
The investment of the special effects team before and after has indeed exceeded one billion units, and there is officially such a large amount of capital injection to allow the special effects team to grow by leaps and bounds, it can be said that in the past few years, Ye Sumang's largest investment in the place, in addition to the world cinema line, belongs to the construction of this special effects team.
And although the Phantom special effects team belongs to the world film and television company, his development funds and employees are independent, and they belong to Ye Sumang's own personal ownership, so all these development funds come from Ye Sumang's own pocket as Wang Tao said.
Just like these reporters sighed, the special effects are really a money-burning game......
Soon, a red carpet has been laid out at the entrance of Tianxia Cinema, and the red carpet show that media reporters are very interested in is about to begin.
The red carpet show of Ye Sumang's film has never disappointed reporters, Han Shanping, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Li Shaohong and other big names in the film and television industry came as scheduled, Zhou Jing, Fan Bing, Li Bing, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and other first-line female artists also attended, as well as HK king-level stars such as Liu Dehua , Liang Chaowei , Zhang Xueyou , etc., it can be said that this is like a small awards ceremony, and those present must be top artists.
Of course, there are also some newcomers with great potential to be present, among which the most concerned are undoubtedly Yang Mi and Chen Xiao, these two were sought after by the media after being signed by the world film and television as representatives of the new generation of artists, and at this moment on the red carpet, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, which naturally caused the media reporters to take pictures.
"Don't say it, the world's film and television companies are really discerning in choosing artists, and these two make people feel that they have eyes at a glance."
"No, haha, let's go back and use two more pictures of them."
Don't think that this reporter's evaluation is not high, for these people, the word eye edge is definitely a high evaluation, there was once a sentence in the circle, what is the most important thing for an actor, not acting, but 'eye edge', these two words with the same sound as the actor are regarded by many people as the lifeblood of the actor, some people who have good acting skills but are not popular, more or less will be accused of this person for not having eyes and the like.
Yang Mi and Chen Xiao can be praised so much, and they have undoubtedly been recognized by everyone in terms of external conditions.
Because the red carpet did not accept any interviews, everyone waited for about ten minutes after a wild shooting, Ye Sumang and the staff had already arranged all the guests, and media reporters and spectators who had been waiting for a long time began to enter one after another.
Compared with the modernization of the pearl, Kyoto's No. 1 Tianxia Cinema still maintains its own antique style, and the tea room here is also a precedent for opening a cinema, and it has become a beware of having to go after coming to Tianxia Cinema to watch a play.
The No. 1 screening hall was soon filled with audiences, and the media's cameras were temporarily put away, and the reporters were very cooperative at the time, knowing that this was the cinema's fear of leaking the source of the film, although this kind of thing is always emerging, but it is still necessary to prevent it, otherwise it will only make these piracy more rampant.
Ye Sumang is sitting in his exclusive box with Liu Yifei at the moment, waiting for the release of the movie.
The little girl was obviously very nervous, as Ye Sumang's 2007 New Year drama and the first time she played the heroine in a movie, Liu Yifei even had the idea of escaping in the afternoon, and was still persuaded by Ye Sumang, so she was pulled to the scene.
"Don't worry, your performance is great, I'm sure with my eyes, you just have to accept the applause of the audience for a while." Ye Sumang smiled and comforted.
Just when Liu Yifei smiled reluctantly and was about to say something, the lights in the screening room suddenly dimmed, and it turned out that the movie had started quietly...... (To be continued......)
