Chapter 40: "Nightclub" premieres
At Chen Jie's insistence, Wang Jing had no choice but to compromise. took Chen Jie to the theater where Golden Harvest prepared the premiere ceremony for them.
Chen Jie participated in the premiere for the first time, and he was also very excited, and almost sent invitations to almost everyone he knew. I don't know if I can come.
It can be seen that Golden Harvest's publicity is still very successful, and when Chen Jie and Wang Jing came here, they found that there were already many reporters waiting at the entrance of the theater.
After the reporters found out about the two of them, they knew that one of them was a popular rookie singer, and the other was a rookie director who was exposed. They all surrounded them.
"Hi Applejack, are you here for the premiere too?" A reporter asked.
"Of course, I starred in this movie." Chen Jie replied.
"Applejack, can you tell us about your performance in this movie? Is it a male lead? The reporter asked.
"It's not the actor, it's just one of the leading actors, a role that ruins the image. You'll see how it goes. Chen Jie said.
"Hello Director Wang, I know that you are the contracted director of Shaw Brothers, why is this movie released in Golden Harvest's theaters? Can you give us an explanation? A reporter was obviously embarrassed, Wang Jing said.
"Although I am the director of this film, the copyright of this film is not with me, I am just a director. As for where the movie will be released, this has to be decided by the producer. Wang Jing replied.
"Director Wang, do you know how much this movie is paid?" The journalist asked.
"Maybe everyone thinks that I made a lot of money directing this movie, so I will hide it from the Shaw Brothers and take over the drama privately. But I'm telling you today, I didn't get paid a penny for this movie. ”
Wang Jing's words shocked the reporters. At this time, Chen Jie put his arm around Wang Jing's shoulders and said to reporters
"What Director Wang said is true, but he didn't get a penny of his salary, because we are good friends. Brother Xiang, this is doing me a favor. And I was the producer of the film. ”
The reporters' emotions were mobilized at once, and they were about to bombard the two of them. But it was Chen Jie who organized them and said
"We're going to be very busy as directors and producers of films, so let's get here first. As for the question of the movie, I feel like we should study it after watching the movie, right! ”
After speaking, Chen Jie and Wang Jing walked into the theater together.
Not long after the two entered the theater, Hong Jinbao and others came to the door of the theater. Seeing this, the reporters hurriedly surrounded them. The reporters asked a lot of questions, but Hong Jinbao only came back to only one, and he came to cheer on his little brother.
After Hong Jinbao brushed away the reporter, he walked into the theater and saw Chen Jie and Wang Jing standing at the door of the screening hall, greeting the guests, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Jie take care of the guests. He also introduced several famous film critics to Chen Jie.
It didn't take long for Tan Yonglin to also appear in the theater.
"Applejack, Sam asked me to say sorry to you for him, he's busy filming right now, and he really can't spare time to come over." Tan Yonglin said to Chen Jie.
"It's okay with me, I understand. Actually, I'm looking forward to Brother Sam's new play. Chen Jie said.
After Chen Jie and Tan Yonglin said a few polite words, Tan Yonglin knew that Chen Jie was busy greeting guests, so he made an excuse and walked into the screening hall by himself.
Seeing that the time is almost up, almost all the people who should come have come, and some of the remaining people may not be able to come for some reason. Not as good as Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui. They have already signed a contract with TVB, and if they sneak to see the movie, it will be nothing, and if they blatantly attend the premiere, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. This is also what they studied with Chen Jie in advance.
Chen Jie and Wang Jing walked into the screening room about 5 minutes before the movie started and sat in the front row with the seats reserved for the two of them. Wang Jing sat on Chen Jie's left, and Chen Jie's right sat Hong Jinbao. Hong Jinbao waited for Chen Jie to sit down and said to the two
"How nervous are you?"
"A little bit, after all, is it my first movie!" Chen Jie said.
"Hehe, it's good to get used to it. I'm sure you'll have a round of applause for this movie. Hong Jinbao said.
As soon as Hong Jinbao's words fell, the lights in the movie theater dimmed.
The beginning of the story was unremarkable, and knowing that Zhu Liao played by Chen Jie made everyone a little interested after his appearance. It wasn't until He Sanshui played by Liang Jiahui and the tires played by Wang Jing appeared that their emotions were completely mobilized. Especially after the two smashed the phone, the dialogue between Tang Xiaolian and He Sanshui played by Qi Meizhen made everyone laugh.
Immediately afterwards, the shot of Zhu Liao rushing into the supermarket with a silk mesh made the audience laugh. From this moment on, the laughter in the theater never stopped.
"Applejack, congratulations, you've made it." Hong Jinbao whispered to Chen Jie.
"Thank you Brother Sanmao, or we don't know if it can be released." Chen Jie replied in a low voice.
"Applejack, I'm mad if you keep saying that!" Hong Jinbao said half-jokingly.
"Hehe, not next time. Let's watch the movie first. Chen Jie replied in a low voice.
At this time, the movie happened to play the scene where Zhu Liao grabbed the electric cabinet and confronted He Sanshui, but he didn't expect He Sanshui to take out a longer and bigger electric baton and electrify Zhu Liao. Especially the "brother" with a cheap expression before Zhu Liao was flown out. It made the audience in the theater laugh.
When the robber played by Xu Jinjiang appeared, he gave everyone the impression that this product was not a good person at first glance. After knowing that the robbers took control of the supermarket, the laughter in the theater slowly fell.
However, the world is not just when the tires played by Zhu Liao played by Chen Jie and played by Wang Jing were stripped off, and when one appeared in front of everyone with a sign, laughter rang out again.
The story proceeded unhurriedly, and finally when Tang Xiaolian was kidnapped as an adult, he finally became the hero of the movie. Chen Jie is still very moved here, Chen Jie deliberately asked the makeup artist to make Liu Dehua rustic in the previous scene. And this scene makes the image outstanding. It makes people feel that Li Junwei played by Liu Dehua seems to be transformed into a superman after taking off a pair of glasses. The impact is very high.
When the movie ended, the theater remembered applause.
Hong Jinbao applauded and said to Chen Jie and Wang Jing, "You should go up and say a few words." ”
Wang Jing and Chen Jie walked to the front desk, one holding a microphone in his hand, Chen Jie first began to say: "From everyone's applause, I can hear that everyone still likes this movie, and as the producer of the movie, I am here to thank you." After speaking, Chen Jie bowed to the audience. The audience applauded again.
"I also have the feeling that all the cast and crew of 'Night Supermarket' were not able to attend today's premiere for some reason. But I believe everyone has seen their efforts, and this movie is the best illustration of this. And I want to focus on the director of the film, Wang Jing, who not only made a very good movie, but also dedicated his screen debut. Brother Xiang thanked him. Chen Jie said.
"Ajie, don't say that, I'm really excited about such a good book, and the shooting process is also very easy, I don't want my previous shooting experience, it's more like playing. If it weren't for the performance in this film, I wouldn't have realized that I still have the potential to be an actor. Wang Jing said.
The two briefly introduced the interesting facts in the filming process on stage, which made the audience laugh.
"Okay, it's almost time, let's not delay the start of the movie the next day, let's stop here today. Have a nice night with everyone. Chen Jie said.
Wang Jing also said two words of blessing and left with Chen Jie.
After seeing the two of them coming down from the stage, the audience also began to leave, but many viewers once again walked to the ticket window to buy tickets for the next movie "Night Supermarket". Prepare to watch it once.
After Chen Jie and Wang Jing came out of the theater, they were directly surrounded by reporters. It took a lot of effort for the two to get out. After leaving, the two came to the night bar, which was better with Liu Dehua, a few people couldn't go to the premiere but were also very concerned about the situation of the movie, so they made an appointment with Chen Jie here to ask how the reaction to the premiere was.
