59. Chapter 59: The Premiere and the Audience
Sitting in the cinema with his girlfriend and waiting for his movie to start is a new experience for Racul. Although she bought popcorn and Coke to hide her uncontrollable embarrassment, the action of accidentally stumbling on the steps when entering still exposed her inner nervousness.
"This seat," said Raichu with difficulty, "you've chosen a good one." β
Song Pingguo stuffed the drink into the armrest next to the seat and took the popcorn that Lei Qiu held in his hand: "I waited for a long time to buy such a good ticket." β
Raichu chuckled dryly. They were in the middle of the IMAX theater, not to mention that it was the premiere, and to Richu's surprise, many people had bought tickets to see it. While stuffing popcorn into her mouth, she whispered in Song Pingguo's ear, "I thought this would be our charter." β
"If you want to charter a venue, you can do it," Song Pingguo adjusted her position, "As long as you give me money, how many games you want to charter, how many points you want, I will do it all for you." What do you think? β
ββ¦β¦ It's okay, watching with others on some kind of Cheng dΓΉ can actually alleviate my embarrassment. β
Song Pingguo looked at her funny: "Okay, it wasn't you who happily wanted to take me to watch it at the beginning." β
Raichu can't deny that.
On the night of the finale, she hurriedly went home, opened the door and saw Song Pingguo who was watching TV, and pounced on her after taking off her shoes casually: "I'm done shooting!" I can finally eat! Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving to the world! β
Song Pingguo, who was pressed under her, touched Lei Qiu's face: "Get up from me first." β
Lei Qiu sat in front of Song Pingguo and began to describe his filming process. Including how she was so immersed in the role that when Gong Xiao told her that her role was over, she couldn't help but cry; There are still a lot of tidbits that she has accumulated, holding back the tidbits that she does not allow herself to sue Song Pingguo during filming.
It's a really great feeling. Lei Qiu said while feeling extremely relieved and happy in his heart, and at the same time watched Song Pingguo respond to his words seriously while cutting fruit for her.
But having said that, when I really sat in the cinema with Song Pingguo and watched my own movie, it was a completely different feeling.
Before Raichu grabs the next popcorn, the lights in the movie theater dim.
The silence made Raichu feel particularly uncomfortable. She leaned on Song Pingguo, and just as she wanted to speak, she was stopped by the other party: "Your movie is about to start." β
I know! Raichu shouted aggrievedly in his heart, I just want to talk about this.
It's not so much that Rachu came to see the movie, but that she came to see the reaction of these audiences. Raichu had only filmed TV series before, and the feedback from the TV series was delayed. In other words, the moviegoer's reaction is the first time. Some people may watch a TV series for five minutes and make up their minds, while others will watch it several times and even write a long review. Therefore, although these two groups of people are watching the same drama, the conclusions they come to will definitely be diametrically opposed.
However, the movie is different. Movies are a kind of production that lasts longer, but the feedback is very fast. For example, just look at the faces of the people who come out of the movie theater and you can tell what kind of movie they are watching. And if it's a premiere, then the effect is even more obvious.
Those who start discussing the plot excitedly as soon as they go out illustrates that the film is engaging, at least in terms of progress; The man who keeps his head down and keeps typing must be sharing the film with his companions; There may be some people who are expressionless, but how do you know if he is thinking, or if he is still immersed in the first hundred and twenty minutes?
And when you're in a movie theater, it's even more pronounced. Among your moviegoers, there are many people who hold their heads up, grab popcorn and want to put it in their mouths, but they don't eat it because of the world of light and shadow, or those who keep their heads down and desperately want to let themselves sit in the whole movie and live up to their ticket money, all of which prove that your movie is worth watching, or deserves to be left in the low-rated list and spurned.
As much as she could, Raichu watched around to see if the people who insisted on attending the premiere were disappointed or happy with the money's worth of the film. But the movement of her probe still disturbed a person.
That's sitting on her left, her girlfriend, Song Pingguo.
Song Pingguo was able to endure Lei Qiu's observation at first. But gradually, Raichu began to get worse. For a short period of time, Song Pingguo was very suspicious that Lei Qiu was harassing him in the name of observation. But in fact, Raichu's small actions towards her can't be considered harassment. But in the middle of the performance, when the plot gradually took root in the hearts of the people, Song Pingguo really couldn't stand that there was an ADHD child rubbing her shoulders around her.
She pinched Raichu's face, gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't look at me, you still want to watch, are you still messing around?" β
Raichu shook his head frantically and obediently sat back in his seat. She still had to take a few looks at herself performing on the big screen. It's not that she is boasting, she really thinks that this actor is so talented that he can perform such a shocking feeling of a one-man show. Raichu gradually abandoned the inexplicable shame he had at the beginning and watched his performance intently.
From the audience's point of view, and from the actor's own point of view on the set, there are too many differences in the matter of acting. Raichu regretted a little that she didn't charge her phone and bring it in, otherwise she would have been able to jot down her loopholes and shortcomings in the performance at any time. The audience in the audience can not only be a synchronous perspective that is brought into the plot, but also a god's perspective that looks at the overall situation. And Raichu is now watching his performance from this god's perspective.
She found that despite acting in many plays, the film format still exposes an actor's weaknesses in many details. When a huge screen shows his struggle with the fear of the unknown, the sense of detail brought about by zooming in makes Richu feel that he is both proud and in need of constant introspection.
Raichu looked at his expression, the overall movement of his facial features, and the emotion conveyed by his eyes. She can't say that she is not good enough, but she can feel that her performance strength is a little lacking in the art of film, and there is a little bit of affection. This kind of affection is not the depth of feelings, but the limit of what the eyes can convey.
Although line skills are a necessary element of an actor, eye play is the key to sublimating an actor. She realized that her eyes were indeed frightened enough, or determined enough, but behind that look, there was a little less support. Rachu discovers a lot of these small details that may only be discovered by the actors themselves. If before she saw the movie - she didn't even see the director's rough cut of the film just to get a better sense of it in the cinema - she gave herself a score of nine on a scale of ten, then now, she only wants to give herself a six.
When Song Pingguo pushed her out of her meditation, Raichu realized that she was now putting the last staff watch. To her surprise and touch, most people didn't care about the cleaner's "no easter eggs", and sat in their seats waiting for the real end of the film.
"What do you think?" Lei Qiu sat in the 24-hour KFC, looked at Song Pingguo, who bought her supper, and asked worriedly, "It's okay not to look at it, the more I look closer, the more I feel ......."
"I think it's amazing." Song Pingguo raised her head and looked straight at her, and replied sincerely, "Really, I didn't say it from your girlfriend's standpoint. I really think it's special, special. β
As soon as Lei Qiu wanted to speak, he was firmly interrupted by Song Pingguo: "I used to think that you were so good at acting," and then she compared a very big circle to her chest, "I didn't expect you to be so good at acting." β
"What if you were to rate it......"
"Full marks!" Song Pingguo said without hesitation, "No matter what scoring criteria you use." β
It wasn't until the next day that Rachu saw that various media outlets had a good evaluation of "Basement", and she was relieved. Song Pingguo was a little incomprehensible about this: "Haven't you always been very confident? β
"But movies are not the same as TV dramas after all," said Raichu, who had relaxed, regaining his former vitality. She casually sandwiched a piece of Song Pingguo's fried chicken nuggets, "Wow, it's so hot!" β
"Make you greedy." Song Pingguo glanced at Lei Qiu angrily, "Oh yes, Gong Xiao said to invite us to dinner, can you?" β
Raichu cooled his mouth with water and replied vaguely, "Go, why don't you go?" Will she bring mulberry branches? β
Song Pingguo's hand paused, and then said slowly: "I didn't ask, why don't you ask?" What's the matter, so concerned about the two of them? β
"I'm concerned about my friends," Raichu picked up another piece of chicken nuggets, put it to his mouth and blew it, making sure it was cool before putting it in his mouth, "By the way, I also want to see what kind of configuration the legendary big and beautiful women are." β
Song Pingguo pushed Lei Qiu out of the kitchen with a smile: "Then you can ask yourself, you will eat later, don't eat so many snacks before eating." β
"Where is this snack, this is also a dish on the table."
Lei Qiu lay on the sofa and sent a message asking if Gong Xiao would bring mulberry branches. She swiped the screen and waited for Gong Xiao's reply, while looking at the evaluation of her acting skills on the Internet. Except for a few sunspots who can be seen at a glance, everyone else gave pertinent comments on her performance. Raichu watched one by one, absorbing useful information.
Before Song Pingguo called her to eat, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It's such a happy life.
