Chapter 140: The Premiere Begins
This is not the first time Su Li has attended a similar event, he also participated in the launch ceremony when "All the World" was released nationwide. It's just that at that time, the release ceremony was smaller than the current movie promotion activities, and I don't know how much.
Su Li, Gu Tianle, Liu Qingyun, Wu Yanzu, Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang, Er Dongsheng stood in front of the poster, and under the stage were some media reporters present, and there were many people present today.
The host is a relatively beautiful woman, she cooperated with Mai Zhaohui and asked them some questions, of course, she also understands the rules, so basically the questions asked are related to the movie. Mak Zhaohui and the others also introduced the film more, and a large projection screen next to it began to play the trailer of "Eavesdropping".
Soon, someone asked Gu Tianle some questions, Gu Tianle looked more elegant in the crowd, with a skillful smile on his face all the time, and someone asked him to answer the questions more skillfully. The reporters were not satisfied with the temporary achievements, and quickly transferred the microphone to Mak Zhaohui: "Director Mai, why did you choose Su Li's script?" After all, the aspects he was involved in before were only music, we all know that you are a good screenwriter yourself, and there is no shortage of good screenwriters around you, why did you choose Su Li? ”
"Because he touched me with his script!" Before the reporter's question came to an end, Mak Zhaohui spoke directly: "I have said this matter several times, the script of "Eavesdropping" has a tight plot, the plot development is logical and unexpected, such a plot and those background settings have deeply attracted me, so if I don't choose this script, I should miss a good movie, Su Li is a very talented young man, I have said these words on different occasions, and I still have to repeat them again today." ”
The reporter asked: "Can you tell me about the specific process of Su Li giving you this script?" ”
"It was an old friend who handed me the book "Eavesdropping", and I was a little skeptical at first - as most of you think, although Su Li has shown enough talent in music, such talent and screenwriters will not be the same. So, I didn't have much hope for this script. But when I actually took a few looks, my natural love for good scripts made it impossible for me to put down this book...... I fell in love with it, and I thought that such a good script must be made into a movie! So please wait and see, "Eavesdropping" will definitely not disappoint you. ”
There was some excitement in Mak Zhaohui's tone, which made people believe that what he said was from the heart. For a while, some people who supported Su Li couldn't help but applaud. Su Li was a little honored to hear Mai Zhaohui's praise, but he still sat still without moving, because a reporter would soon find him.
This is a good-looking female reporter with a smile on her face and asks, "Su Li, did you write this script last year?" ”
Su Li thought about it slightly and said: "I can't say that, although this script was finally written last year, but it was three years ago when I really had this idea, and last year I just put that idea in my heart on paper, and I am very fortunate that this idea can also be transferred to the movie." ”
"Why did you choose to hand it over to director Mak Siu-fai? There are also many directors in China who are capable of making such films, right? ”
"I can't say why, it's just a feeling in the dark, I think Director Mai and Director Zhuang can do a good job in this movie, I have seen the finished movie...... Yes, it's not bad what I thought, this movie should be like that. Su Li replied relatively quickly, and now he didn't need to think about it, and he could say a series of words to deal with reporters when he opened his mouth.
Then, another male reporter asked, "Excuse me, Su Li, why do you suddenly want to write a script?" You're also doing well in your music career, and besides, I heard that you've been making a movie about yourself writing and starring yourself, right? ”
Su Li smiled: "Yes, I have also been busy making my own films recently, and I also admit that I have recently focused some work on films, of course, this does not mean that I have given up my music career, I will release a single in February." As for why I suddenly thought of writing a script and even shooting my own movie, this is what I love about movies! I love movies, so I go for them, it's as simple as that. ”
The male reporter stopped talking, and a reporter could ask a question, which was the principle of today's propaganda meeting.
Today's publicity meeting went relatively smoothly, but Su Li didn't take the opportunity to promote his new movie, it would be too uninteresting for him to promote his new movie on such an occasion.
Today, many reporters have also got what they wanted, and they can also make a good fuss about the information they have obtained after returning to the base camp. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Mai Zhaohui and the others were treated, and Su Li was not polite, and rubbed with Gu Tianle and the others.
"It's up to you at the premiere......" At the end of this dinner, Su Li also hurried back to shoot his "Nightclub. Supermarket", Zhuang Wenqiang said to everyone.
"Yes, it's up to you!" Liu Qingyun also stood up and said to everyone.
Su Li nodded with everyone, because "Eavesdropping" was screened at the same time not only in Chinese mainland, but also in several countries in East Asia. The most important thing is that there is also the premiere in Hong Kong, the premiere of "Eavesdropping" will be held simultaneously in Hong Kong and Beijing, so Zhuang Wenqiang and Liu Qingyun will go back to Hong Kong to participate in the premiere of "Eavesdropping", and Su Li, Mak Zhaohui, and Louis Koo will stay in Beijing to participate in the premiere of "Eavesdropping".
The premiere of a film usually takes place before the official release of the film, and such a premiere is the final test of a film before it is officially released. The director, screenwriter, and main actors are usually present at the premiere of the film, as it is also part of the promotion of the film.
During this time, some viewers will be able to take the opportunity to get close to their favorite directors or actors, and the media will also have a period of time to conduct interviews. Then there will be a movie at the premiere, the premiere requires tickets, and the people invited will include some well-known figures in the film industry, and some film critics will also be present - these people are also very important, they all have their own believers, if the film gets their liking, as long as they promote it a little in front of their own followers, many people who like their film critics will choose to watch it or not according to their opinion. And the opinions they themselves receive from those critics will affect their friends and loved ones...... Therefore, under the influence of such a ring, these film critics are also very important to the success or failure of a movie.
The premiere is also the final test they undergo before the release of the film, and whether it is the director, the actor or the screenwriter, they will be apprehensive because of this test.
The premiere of "Eavesdropping" is scheduled for January 28, and on the evening of January 27, Su Li is still filming "Nightclub. Supermarket", he still performed very well today, and the shot was completed quickly.
Nightclub. "Supermarket" should be able to complete all the filming process by February 2, and the next step is post-production, and Su Li should be able to rush home for the New Year. And now that we are nearing the end of filming, there are more and more things that don't go well.
It was still him who drove Yang Mi home, and Yang Mi said: ""Eavesdropping" will premiere tomorrow, right? ”
"Yes......" Su Li and Yang Mi are becoming more and more familiar, and they are willing to talk to her a lot: "I am still a little apprehensive in my heart, those in the outside world, such as the yellow-haired boy, want to destroy the two best directors in Hong Kong, and I am not very confident in my heart." "To be honest, if it was Su Li half a year ago, maybe he could have downplayed all this, but now he can't take that kind of posture, just because it has too much impact on his future plan development.
Whether the movie "Eavesdropping" can be loved by everyone is very important to him, but Su Li felt a little more relaxed after telling Yang Mi.
"Don't worry...... It's the same as "Nightclub. The script of "Supermarket" is the same, you write it so well, I think "Eavesdropping" will not be bad, if it is not loved by the audience, it is also a bad shot by Hong Kong people, not a script problem. Yang Mi comforted him, and at the same time, let Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang lie down and get shot.
"They made it very well, and I've seen the finished movie...... Oh! By the way, do you have time tomorrow? Su Li remembered that he himself had a quota for inviting people to participate.
At the premiere, you have to guard against a lot of people - to prevent pirated guys from coming to take pictures secretly, to prevent someone from deliberately making trouble, etc., so the invitation to the premiere is also quite rare, and Su Li has only one in his hand.
"Are you going to let me go to the premiere?" Yang Mi lowered his head and thought for a while: "Okay, you give me the admission ticket, I'll go tomorrow to see how your movie is, is there a "Nightclub". Supermarket" is so good...... You have to worry, I still have a few fans, and if you don't feel good after watching it, I'll report it to them truthfully. ”
"I hope you're reporting good news."
―――――― day after that, the premiere of "Eavesdropping" officially took place!
More than 200 people attended the premiere, and it was crowded. When Su Li came to the premiere scene, there was a lot of noise in the empty hall.
"Coming?" Mak Zhaohui said loudly to Su Li.
"Hmm......" Su Li nodded, his eyes wandered among the people in front of him, and after a period of searching, Su Li's eyes finally fixed on a girl sitting on a stool fiddling with her mobile phone. Even though she was wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap, Su Li recognized her at a glance.
By the time the premiere began, most of the people on a budget had arrived, and many critics were already gearing up to see the movie.
"Eavesdropping" is also the first real test of Su Li!
Looking at the crowd under the stage, for a while, Su Li was also a little excited.
