Chapter 106: The Premiere of "Nightclub" (Part II)
"Hello Zhao Wei, I'm Zou Yumin, a reporter from Kyoto Radio. I heard that you played a spicy proprietress in "Nightclub"? It's a very different role than you're used to. Do you think the public will accept your change? β
Zhao Wei blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I still remember what Chen Yuan said to me that afternoon. He said that in the past two years, "Huanzhu Gege" has become popular all over the country, and my name has resounded throughout the land of China. Now when I mention my name, which one comes to mind is not Little Swallow? The image of Little Swallow is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Zhao Wei has already equated it with Little Swallow. I'm an actor, do I want to be like my predecessors? β
Zhao Wei shook his head and said, "I naturally don't want to play Xiaoyanzi forever, so I'm looking for a breakthrough." The spicy proprietress in this "Nightclub" is, and so are the characters in the two subsequent films. I hope that the audience can accept the most true me, not just that little swallow. β
Another reporter asked: "Zhao Wei, what do you think of the situation after the release of "Nightclub"? β
"Nightclub is really a great film, and I hope fans and friends can support it!" Zhao Wei did not answer the reporter's question directly, but said so.
The reporter's question session was arranged for an hour, with Chen Yuan, Zhao Wei, and Li Bing accounting for half, and the rest of the time was handed over to Guan Hu, Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others. Su Muying, who was sitting next to Chen Yuan, also received the attention of media reporters.
A reporter took the opportunity to ask about the relationship between her and Chen Yuan, but she used her brother-sister relationship to cover up the past. This little girl also understands very well in her heart that the relationship between her and Chen Yuan cannot be exposed to the media and the public!
In the question session, the most excited person was Wang Baoqiang. When the media reporters pointed their cameras and eyes at him, he instantly had the illusion that he had really become a big star, and all the media reporters were revolving around him.
In the end, thanks to Huang Bo for giving him a hard time, he completely sobered up!
Wang Baoqiang quickly put away his smirk, did not squint, and was serious. It's hilarious.
Media reporters have asked the same question to every main creator, that is, their estimate of the box office of "Nightclub". This question has been discussed beforehand, so the answers given are similar, between 20 million and 30 million.
Chen Yuan felt that the box office was already underestimated. After all, with so much publicity, and the record of "shooting a movie in eight days", and the great god Zhao Wei, twenty or thirty million should not be a problem.
But media reporters don't see it that way, Wanda Cinema wants to snipe at this "Nightclub". It's already well known. It's a problem that "Nightclub" can last for a few days, and it still has a box office of 20 or 30 million? It's a dream!
The main creators are full of confidence, but the media reporters are slandering in their hearts.
At the end of the reporter's question session, "Nightclub" is finally going to be screened. As soon as the lights went out, the screening room fell silent.
Chen Yuan sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the movie screen. Su Muying took Chen Yuan's hand, but she didn't get too close, she was afraid that she would be secretly photographed by those media reporters behind. That's not good for either of you.
The movie has not yet been released, but Su Muying seems to have returned to the beginning, when the two entered the cinema for the first time. At that time, a film called "SWAT New Humans" was being shown in the cinema. It's a pity that Chen Yuan did something to her, so she didn't see the ending of the movie......
Su Muying was thinking nonsense. Suddenly, a flash of light crosses the screen, and the movie begins!
It was pitch black in the screening room. On the canvas, after the logos of Qingyun Entertainment and Qingying Studio, the name of the movie "Nightclub" appeared on it. Then the dynamic music plays. The faΓ§ade of a supermarket appeared, and two clerks, Li Bing and Huang Xiaoming, also appeared in front of everyone.
At this time, an audience member muttered: "There is a problem with this casting, the man is too handsome, and the woman is too beautiful." Why haven't I ever seen a clerk like this? β
The movie continued to be screened, but Su Muying became inexplicably nervous. She grabbed Chen Yuan's little hand very hard, and Chen Yuan's other hand reached over and gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
in the movie. Li Bing was counting the goods on the shelves. Suddenly, a strange clicking sound came from around the corner.
Then people saw a different mobile phone appear in front of them, it was beautiful, with a large display, and a photo of Li Bing appeared clearly on the display! What kind of phone is this?
Oh my God, there was a burst of exclamations in the cinema. This is the new mobile phone launched by Motorola?
It feels amazing!
Through the dim light on the canvas, media reporters began to write down this unforgettable scene.
The first 30 minutes of the movie are a bit dull, but the audience is attracted by their mobile phones and doesn't notice it. As the plot of the movie gradually unfolds, the funny talents of Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and others are displayed in front of everyone. From time to time, the audience would burst into laughter.
The duo of Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang tied up Huang Xiaoming, Li Bing, and Huang Bo and threw them into the cubicle. There is karaoke from the proprietress Zhao Wei in the compartment. A familiar melody sounded, and then I heard Huang Bo singing "I want to be quiet" at the top of his voice, followed by a song "Father".
The audience was shocked by the joy of the picture and the beautiful music, and everyone finally put all their body and mind into the movie. After that, the cinema was filled with bursts of laughter, sometimes in unison.
Finally, the skateboarding girl played by Su Muying appeared!
In the movie, Su Muying came to the cashier with bread, ham, and drinks. Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang smiled at the same time.
Su Muying looked at the two of them, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Are you new here?" How come I have never seen you? What about Sister Xiaolian? β
The faces of the two changed suddenly, and Xu Zheng was the first to react and explained: "Oh, Li Xiaolian and Li Junwei have something to do today, and the proprietress temporarily recruited us." Kids, are you from this community? Still out to buy something so late? β
β¦β¦
Su Muying stared at the canvas tightly, watching her performance, she felt novelty at the same time, but her mind was constantly cranky. Will the audience like it? Is it appropriate for me to perform like this? Is there something wrong with that action? Wait a minute.
Chen Yuan had been paying attention to the audience's reactions, and when he heard bursts of laughter, he gradually relaxed.
Although the film was shot in a short time, the shooting quality did not deteriorate because of this. In terms of post-production, there is excellent editing and processing by the teachers and students of the film school, in fact, this movie is even better than the one in memory.
The movie ends with the arrest of robber Gao Hu. When the morning sun rises. When the fiery red light shines into a convenience store, people feel a sense of rebirth for no reason! It's a good feeling!
When the film was over, the lights in the screening room came on. Media reporters and spectators involuntarily stood up and applauded. The applause grew louder and louder, and at last it seemed to tear down the entire roof.
Zhou Jun, a reporter from Xinhua Daily, stepped forward, shook hands with Chen Yuan, and exclaimed: "I really didn't expect it." In eight days, you were able to make such an excellent film. "Nightclub" is sure to be the most gorgeous chapter in the history of cinema! β
Guangming Daily reporter Shen Hong followed: "Before, I thought that the box office of 2 or 30 million was a bit exaggerated, but now I really believe that it can." As long as people are interested in this new phone in the movie, they can't help but go into the movie theater again and again. How do I feel that with this new phone, this nightclub is more like a science fiction movie? β
"This is not a science fiction movie," Chen Yuan said with a faint smile, "and by the end of the year, Motorola will launch this epoch-making mobile phone product." We just advertised this movie in advance for it! β
By the time the premiere ended, it was already half past eleven in the middle of the night. Chen Yuan took the crew outside to find a roadside stall that had not yet been confiscated for supper. Drinking beer and drinks. Eating barbecue, everyone gradually let go of themselves.
Without much effort, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Guan Hu and others successively lay under the wine table.
Chen Yuan, Su Muying, Zhao Wei, Li Bing, and Huang Xiaoming, who don't drink, got together, talked and laughed, and were also very happy. But in fact, everyone is concerned about the release of the movie. Judging from tonight's premiere, the response from media reporters and audiences has been very good, and many have even revealed that they will enter the cinema again to enjoy the film again.
Everyone was in a worried mood. They all hope that the movie "Nightclub" can create a box office miracle, and under the sniping of "Western Dragon", "Gladiator", and "The Matrix", they will fight their way out of the encirclement!
However, this can only be an illusion.
Early the next morning. News reports about the premiere of "Nightclub" made headlines in major newspapers.
Now the whole society is paying attention, what kind of movie is "Nightclub"? Can you see what you shoot in eight days? Is it worth the money to go to the cinema?
The major newspapers gave everyone a near-unanimous answer, and it was worth it! "Nightclub" is a movie that deserves the audience to go to the cinema!
In addition to this, almost all media newspapers mentioned the new mobile phone in "Nightclub". This mobile phone, called Motorola Z927, has the coolest display in the movie. It can take pictures, it can be stored, it can play music, and it has the largest color screen, just like a miniature computer!
Combined with Motorola's recent publicity and promotion of new mobile phones, many people who were not interested in movies have the urge to go to the cinema to see it!
On the first day of the release of "Nightclub", because there were no competitors and there was an overwhelming publicity offensive before, there were a lot of audiences who walked into the cinema, and the venue was full!
Huaxing Cinema, Xinhua Daily reporter Zhou Jun stayed here early. From 10 o'clock in the morning, there is an endless stream of fans entering the cinema. Ninety-nine percent of them will choose to buy movie tickets for "Nightclub". This whole day, from half past ten in the morning to 10 o'clock in the evening, Huaxing Cinema arranged 8 consecutive screenings of "Nightclub", and it reached a state of almost fullness!
Zhou Jun took the microphone and asked the crowd watching the movie, "What prompted you to go into the cinema to watch "Nightclub"?" β
"I heard that 'Nightclub' was filmed in only eight days, and I really wanted to see it. So as soon as the movie was released, I brought my friends here. β
"This movie has been so popular lately that everywhere you go, you can hear people talking about it. If you don't go to the cinema, I'm really sorry for my curiosity. β
"I heard that Zhao Wei tried a very special role in "Nightclub", so I came over to take a look. But I was disappointed. Director, give back my little swallow! Woohoo......"
"I'm here to see my phone......"
"I know Xu Zheng is the Zhu Bajie in "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", I came for him. Although the movie is also hilarious, it is not as ...... as I imagined"
"I'm a fan of Li Bing, and I like her performance in "Nightclub" very much."
Zhou Jun interviewed many people, and he carefully recorded these interviews. In addition to the above questions, Zhou Jun asked the most, "Will you go into the cinema for the second time to watch this "Nightclub"?" β
As a result, 40 percent of the people firmly said no, 15 percent hesitated, and the remaining 45 percent answered in the affirmative! When asked them why, most of them think that the mobile phones in the movie are very popular, very similar to seeing them again, and only a very small number of people think that the movie itself is very interesting and want to watch the plot of the movie again.
Zhou Jun summarized the results of the interview, one to the newspaper, and one to Li Bing and others who were guarding the Blue Bird coffee shop.
After Li Bing and others got Zhou Jun's investigation summary, they cheered and cheered.
Chen Yuan was quite calm, he said: "It's normal for this situation to occur, and our propaganda work has been done very well before. The audience has become curious about this movie, coupled with the deliberate suppression of Li Yisheng, the boss of Wanda Media, the curiosity of the Chinese people about this movie has reached its peak! Everyone wants to go to the cinema to see what kind of movie it is! That's why there is such a rare grand occasion. β
Hearing Chen Yuan say this, everyone calmed down.
Su Muying took Chen Yuan's hand and shook it and asked, "Then Brother Chen Yuan, do you think our movie will defeat Cheng Long's "Western Regions Weilong"?" His movie is coming out tomorrow! β
"It should be no problem," Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said, "As far as I know, although the investment in "Western Regions Weilong" is huge, it has not grasped the direction. Cheng Long's specialties have not been brought into play, and it is estimated that his fans and friends will be disappointed this time. β
"Where did you get the news?" Li Bing asked in surprise.
""Weilong of the Western Regions" has been released in other countries and regions, and Wanda Media has arranged this film at the front, which should be in the intention of trying it." Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Maybe, we will give each other a big surprise!" (To be continued.) )
