Chapter Seventy-Five: The Movie Premieres

In fact, the domestic distribution of "The Two of Us" was not smooth, and not many film companies were willing to distribute it at the beginning, because everyone knew that this film didn't make much money, but when "Dark Invasion" was established in radio and television, many companies came to the door and took the initiative to ask for distribution.

In the end, Cheng Peng chose China Film, China Film is the company with the strongest distribution capacity in China, and it is the giant of Chinese films.

The movie must have a premiere when it is released, and the premiere is a very good publicity, the more stars are present, the more attention the media will pay attention to, and the more famous the movie will be, so as long as it is a movie that can be released, a premiere will basically be held.

Of course, the premiere can reflect the strength and connections of the production company, only enough connections can invite enough stars to support, otherwise the whole premiere will be deserted, the media will not be willing to report, and it will not be able to promote it at all.

Although Cheng Peng has any expectations for the box office of "The Two of Us", this is his first premiere in China after all, and the Chinese pay attention to the opening of the door, and the first premiere must be vigorous.

On the day of the premiere, a long red carpet was laid out at the entrance of a theater of China Film, with large posters arranged on the walls and flower baskets on both sides.

Countless reporters gathered outside the movie theater, around the red carpet, and the two of them gathered together to discuss softly.

In fact, the media did not have much expectation for this premiere red carpet show, after all, this is a literary film, although Cheng Peng is not famous, but his connections in this circle are limited, and there will definitely not be too many stars present, and the media present are all coming for Cheng Peng.

After the premiere began, the first to appear on the red carpet was Cheng Peng, as well as the two protagonists of the movie, Jin Yaqin and Tong Liyu, and the media was originally aimed at him and Tong Liyu, as soon as the two of them appeared, the on-site reporters began to press the shutter quickly.

Cheng Peng didn't stop much on the red carpet, walked the red carpet, signed the poster at the end of the red carpet, and began to be interviewed by the host.

Jin Wei, the host of the red carpet, took the microphone and asked: "Director, you are so young, and it is your first movie, you are so good at filming?" ”

Cheng Peng smiled and said: "The main thing is that I have experienced these things, and I have experienced a lot of the content in the movie, I can only say thank you for life!" ”

Jin Wei continued to ask: "You turned out to be an actor, will you direct and act yourself in the future?" ”

Cheng Peng said with a smile: "I will definitely make frequent cameos, and the starring role should not be, since I became a director, I find it more interesting to be a director!" ”

Jin Wei didn't continue to ask, and shifted the topic to Jin Yaqin: "Mr. Jin, how do you feel about winning the Berlin Film Festival for the first time you made a movie?" ”

"I'm 80 years old, it doesn't mean much to win awards, I hope Xiaopeng and Yaya can win more awards, awards are more important to them than me." Jin Yaqin looked at Cheng Peng, and then at Tong Liyu, just like a grandmother looking at her grandson and granddaughter, her eyes were full of love.

Jin Wei nodded with a smile and said, "What about Tong Liyu?" You're not a professional actor, how did the director find out about you? ”

Tong Liyu smiled and said: "By chance, he originally wanted to find other actors, but there was a problem with the schedule, and he never found a suitable candidate, so I was lucky to get this role!" ”

"Director, in fact, I can also perform, and I will have this opportunity to consider me in the future!" Jin Wei made a joke and asked, "By the way, the director heard that you have been busy with a new film recently, how are you doing?" ”

Cheng Peng nodded and said: "The filming went well, and the later stage is almost completed, and I will definitely meet you when the Chinese New Year stalls are made." ”

Jin Yaqin next to him said with a smile: "I believe that Xiaopeng's movie will definitely be better, I am looking forward to this movie, and I will definitely watch it when it is released." ”

Cheng Peng was taken aback and hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Jin, my new film is a horror movie, which is particularly scary and not suitable for the elderly!" ”

The old lady said with some regret: "It's a pity, the old woman has no eyes!" ”

After a brief interview, Cheng Peng sent the two protagonists to their seats, and then returned to the door of the movie, and then the guests will arrive one after another, and he, as the host, will definitely receive him personally.

The media mainly came from Cheng Peng and Tong Liyu, and after they walked the red carpet, the interest of the reporters was more than half, some were in high spirits, and some reporters were even ready to leave.

But at this moment, the onlookers shouted loudly: "Huang Xiaoming, Huang Xiaoming is here!" ”

The reporters on both sides of the red carpet suddenly looked like chickens, and they all picked up their cameras and took random pictures at Huang Xiaoming, who had just walked on the red carpet.

Huang Xiaoming finished the interview with the host and walked into the cinema. Cheng Peng greeted him with a smile and gave him a bear hug: "Xiaoming, it's been a long time, how are you?" ”

"Anything else is okay, it's that "Longwei Father and Son" was released some time ago, and I was scolded miserably!" Huang Xiaoming smiled bitterly and shook his head, because of that movie, he was scolded by the media, by film critics, and by the audience, he debuted for a few years, and he has never been scolded so badly.

Now he urgently needs a good movie to save his infamy, and he aims at Cheng Peng: "Xiaopeng, have a chance for us to cooperate?" ”

"Okay, I'll definitely find you if there is a suitable role!" Cheng Peng smiled and nodded, Huang Xiaoming's original help, he never forgot it, as long as there is an opportunity, he will definitely reciprocate.

"Okay, I remember that, you don't want to be a fool!" Huang Xiaoming patted Cheng Peng's shoulder with a smile, but he felt a little emotional, a year ago Cheng Peng was still a trick actor who needed his own recommendation, but now he is a director who has won international awards, and the world is changing so fast.

The media was not too surprised by Huang Xiaoming's arrival, everyone knew that they were friends, but when Xu Jinglei, Li Binbin, and Fan Binbin appeared one by one, the media reporters present were still stunned.

The stars were shining on the red carpet, and the reporters next to them were very happy to take pictures, and now they only regret one thing, they didn't bring enough film!

To Cheng Peng's surprise, Lu Chuan and Ning Hao actually came, he had nothing to do with these two directors, he didn't expect them to come, but he still welcomed them very warmly: "Two directors, I didn't expect you to come, I should really bathe for three days, sprinkle water and clean the way to welcome!" ”

Lu Chuan is a very proud person in his bones, and now everyone is talking about how Cheng Peng is a genius, he is a little unconvinced, he is here to see what Cheng Peng's level is, and said with a smile: "I watched the trailer of the movie, and I feel that the movie was made well, and I won so many awards abroad, so I came uninvited." ”

Ning Hao doesn't have so many eyes, he is good at learning, learning from Guy Ritchie, Brother Keen, as long as it is useful, he will learn: "I have watched your debates with others in the forum, and I have learned a lot from it, I am here to learn!" ”

Cheng Peng knew that the future achievements of the two were limitless, and he was very eager to communicate with them, so he nodded with a smile: "After watching the movie, please give more opinions, and everyone can learn from each other!" ”

And Zhang Ziyi's appearance is a small ** in the entire red carpet, as soon as she appeared, it caused reporters to be scratched, and fans outside the red carpet shouted loudly.

"Ziyi,"

"Ziyi, this way!"

"Ziyi......!"

After signing the autograph and taking a photo, the host Jin Wei began to ask: "Ziyi, I know that you collaborated with director Cheng Peng on a movie, how do you feel, and what do you think of him?" ”

"He is a very thoughtful person, he is very strict with films, and he also knows how to act, and he has a special level of guidance for actors, and I hope to have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"Can you tell us about the movie you worked on?"

"I can't reveal too much else, but one thing can be said that this movie is very, very good, and there are many things in the movie that have never been seen in domestic films."

"Will this film go to the film festival?"

"I don't know about this, you should ask the director, but I hope to go to the film festival, and it would be better if I could get a movie queen." Zhang Ziyi made a joke with Jin Wei, ended the interview, and walked into the cinema.

Cheng Peng greeted him with a smile: "Ziyi, you are here, welcome!" ”

"Director, just now the host asked me if "Invasion of Darkness" would go to the film festival, and I also wanted to ask, should I go?"

"Of course I want to go, if I don't go, how can the film be sold, the filmmakers of the Venice Film Festival have already seen it, and said that they will recommend it, and there will be results soon, which unit I don't know, but it's not a big problem to go to the film festival."

"I'm looking forward to it!" Zhang Ziyi nodded with satisfaction, for a star like her who takes the international route, it is very important to go to the film festival, which means international exposure.

At this moment, he heard a burst of exclamations from reporters outside, looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned, Damn, Han Shanping actually came, I didn't invite him!

The media reporters outside the venue were even more discussed: "I really didn't expect that Cheng Peng could invite the third master, how did this guy do it?" ”

"Yes, only China Film's own big production will he attend in person, this movie is not invested by China Film, and it is a small-budget literary film, which is really a bit unexpected."

"He's probably optimistic about Cheng Peng, isn't everyone optimistic about Cheng Peng?"

……

Han Shanping's influence in the film circle is unparalleled, he is in charge of the aircraft carrier China Film Group in the film industry, participates in the production of more than half of the heavyweight domestic films every year, and at the same time monopolizes the right to import blockbusters. Big directors and big stars have to call him "Third Master" when they see him, and when the Third Master roars, the entire film industry will tremble.

The fact that he was able to be present in person shows that Cheng Peng's connections are very strong, and the reporter's eyes are a little different when he looks at Cheng Peng.

When Han Shanping walked the red carpet and walked into the cinema, Cheng Peng stepped forward with a smile and greeted: "Mr. Han, you can come, it's really brilliant!" ”

"This is an award-winning movie, it was made very well, and I will definitely support it!" Han Shanping smiled and nodded, China Film does not have any big-budget movies this year, and "Dark Invasion" is the biggest film in their hands. He had already seen the first cut of "Invasion of Darkness" and found that the film was very well made, and he was very optimistic about the movie, so he wanted to meet this young man.

"Mr. Han was also a director before, and I hope to have the opportunity to communicate with Mr. Han!"

"Okay, I also hope to communicate more with you young people, so that my thinking will not be rigid!" Han Shanping has a good impression of Cheng Peng, neither humble nor arrogant, nor arrogant, he admires this young man very much.

The red carpet show ended, media reporters and audiences also entered the theater one after another, and Cheng Peng returned to his position, waiting for the start of the movie.

At this moment, he does not have the apprehension and nervousness of the premiere in Berlin at all, this movie is about the people and things around him, no one will not understand, and there is no need to worry that everyone will not understand, he is full of confidence in the movie.

After the host's opening remarks, the lights in the theater went out, and the noisy hall gradually quieted down, and the screen lit up.

As the standards of the dragon logo and the signal flag fade, the black and white picture appears on the screen, and the film officially begins.
