Chapter 361: Singing and Dancing Strikes
Just when the publicity effect of "Youth Musical" was at its peak, the time soon came to April 3, the premiere date of the movie.
The premiere place was arranged by Chen Feng in the Kowloon Cinema, which is the closest cinema to the Hangzhou-Hong Kong Art Institute, and he is about to watch the premiere of "Youth Musical" here.
This cinema is also the only non-campus cinema to participate in the first round of screenings of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth", and Huayu Film Company and the cinema signed a contract to negotiate a guaranteed price, 50,000 Chinese dollars for the period of 19:00-24:00 in the evening of the No. 1 screening hall here, two shows per night for a month. This is also one of the publicity plans, the first two weeks can only be seen in specific campus cinemas, so what about other students in Hangzhou and Hong Kong who want to see it? They will all flock to this movie theater, causing a phenomenon of flooding. Of course, the premise is that "Youth Musical" can make students crazy, and there will be a situation where there will be ten, ten and hundred.
At this time, the No. 1 screening hall of the Kowloon Cinema was full of 500 seats, in addition to the main creator and crew of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth", some relatives, 110 students from all over the country in the "Show Yourself" activity, as well as students invited from various schools in Hangzhou and Hong Kong, and some film critics and media reporters, and public relations departments have done work, they can be regarded as "very good" with Huayu Films, if "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" is passable, they will not be stingy with their praise; If the movie is too bad, they will also be "gentle" when they lash out.
Chen Feng was wearing a black formal suit and walked from the aisle to the front row. He had just gone to the place where his mother and grandparents were sitting, and several elders were very happy and let him do things by himself.
The people on both sides of the aisle looked at Chen Feng and greeted him with a smile, "Director Chen!", "Chen Feng!", "Chen Feng!" I love you!" Some of them are members of the crew, and some of them invite students, such as the phrase "I love you" shouted by a female high school student.
"Hey." Chen Feng smiled and waved his hand, responding to their enthusiasm. Looking at the audience with a smile on their faces sitting on every seat, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, for a long time to come. You won't see such a scene anymore.
While thinking about this, he came to the front row closest to the screen, and the people who sat in the front row were the main creators and leading actors of the movie. Xue Mingshan, Xue'er, Xu Tianliang, Mu Wanqiu, Wells... Everyone was dressed in formal attire, with men in suits and ties, and women in beautiful evening gowns, all carefully dressed by makeup artists.
The interactive part of the premiere has passed, and the film will soon begin to be officially played. Chen Feng sat down in the middle of the first row, Xue Mingshan on his left and Mu Wanqiu on his right, wearing a white off-the-shoulder evening dress and wavy black hair shawl. With a faint blush on both sides of her cheeks, she looked even more beautiful and charming, she glanced at Chen Feng and said, "Hi, Chen Feng." ”
"It's about to start." Chen Feng leaned back in his chair. Looking at the big screen in front of him, he sighed again: "It's about to start." ”
Half a year's hard work, everyone's countless sweat and hard work, all in the 100-minute video that is about to be played, "Singing and Dancing Youth" will immediately bite through its own cocoon, dance, and show itself to the world. Will it be a pretty butterfly?
Chen Feng looked at Mu Wanqiu next to him. Today is her 25th birthday, one of the most important moments in her life, and if "Youth Musical" can be successful, it will be the best gift he can give her. But in any case, those who have paid for this movie will reap their own beauty tonight.
At this time, the movie was about to start, and the dim movie hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the big screen in front of them. Chen Feng's eyes seemed to have a flame, and he said in a suppressed voice: "It's started." Mu Wanqiu, Xue Mingshan, and Xue'er next to him...... Everyone held their breath for a moment. …,
In the back rows, Xu Tianliang, who was dressed in a suit, was staring at the screen without blinking his eyes with two black eyes; The fat drama manager sitting next to him muttered nervously: "Buddha bless!" I don't know if the shot I shot is still there. In fact, he was just pushing the rail car, and the camera lens had already been adjusted.
After the opening act, the beautiful view of Lantau Island in Hangzhou-Hong Kong is shown on the screen, and the resort is holding a New Year's party. There is also a text introduction on the screen, starring: Chen Feng, Mu Wanqiu, Long Xueer...... Photography: Xu Tianliang, Director: Chen Feng.
At this time, Li Xue, played by Mu Wanqiu, appeared, and the lively New Year's party seemed to have nothing to do with her, she stayed in the room and read a book fascinatedly, and then her mother walked into the room and wanted to drag her down to the party dance; The screen switches, and Chu Feng on the other side is also practicing basketball with his father, while his mother asks the two fathers and sons to stop practicing and go to enjoy the holidays and parties and dances.
The students in the movie hall are all looking at the screen with interest, a boy with freckles on his face is full of smiles, he is not the top ten in the "show yourself" activity, but one of the 100 lucky winners, which also makes him the object of envy of his classmates, and he has become a "celebrity" in the school. In the previous interactive session, he also got an autograph from Cher, which is really exciting!
Soon, the story came to Chen Feng and Li Xue who were pushed onto the stage, they sang helplessly, but found that they had a very tacit understanding, the more they sang, the better they sang, the more they sang, the more they felt, which also made the young people around the small stage jump up and dance with their singing.
"It's a new journey, and it feels so good to be with you......" The movie hall echoed with a beautiful song, and the students' positions suddenly buzzed a little to discuss, "This song is very good!" The freckled boy's eyes burst into stars and said, "Oh my God, Mu Wanqiu is so cute!" A black-haired girl next to her covered her chest and sighed: "Wow, Chu Feng is so handsome, he sings very well!" Soon, the romantic scene of the hero and heroine watching the fireworks together made her sigh again: "Oh, it's so desirable......
With the end of the New Year's party dance at the beginning, the story comes to Notre Dame High School, the cheerful Firefox team song sounds, the picture is so bright that it seems to be full of sunshine, the wide and beautiful campus vista, skateboarders, basketball players, cheerleaders, everywhere are young and lively figures. When the school bus arrived, Chu Feng jumped from the door ladder and landed on the ground, and everyone surrounded him, hugged him to the school, and shouted: "What team!?" "Firefoxes!" What team!? "Firefox!"
Seeing now, the critics are a little surprised, and the contempt in their hearts has decreased a lot, and the lens of the movie is very good, with bright colors and almost dazzling, but it makes people deeply feel the youthful atmosphere; The music is very good, and it completely achieves the effect of setting off the story and pictures; The actors' performances are not as immature as imagined, and many imperceptible performance actions such as Chu Feng jumping off the school bus make the image of the characters distinct.
"OK, calm down and look at Qin!" Film critics and journalists are starting to get serious. And as the story unfolds, the students slowly become absorbed and will only occasionally say something to themselves.
Chen Feng has seen these 100-minute images many times, and he is very familiar with every shot in it, and he knows how it came about, including shooting, editing, and color grading...... Despite this, he still watched it so tastefully! Never get tired of watching. Looking at the picture on the screen, he smiled softly: "Artists show their truest emotions here......"
On the stage of the screen, Mr. Li performed in an exaggerated style, and said intoxicatedly: "Artists show their truest emotions here, and show their true inner feelings through the actors......"...,
The first round of auditions began, and there were several songs and dances in a row, after the proud performance of Li Mei and Li Tian played by Wells and A Feng, there was a chorus of Chu Feng and Li Xue. At the end of the audition, the news that Chu Feng and the two were selected for the second round of auditions shocked the students of Our Lady High School. The stout tall team members used to like to cook; The quiet chubby girl loves hip-hop and breakdancing; The skateboarder wanted to be a cellist, and he performed in the auditorium in a suit and tie......
Looking at the bright and spacious cafeteria, many students sighed again and again: "It's so handsome, this school is so cool, their cafeteria is amazing......" Everyone on the screen danced, they jumped on the dining hall table, they sang loudly, which made a burst of exclamations in the movie hall, and the students looked at each other, all of them were full of fun and yearning smiles: "They actually have a party in the cafeteria!", "It's crazy, when can we do this?" "Actually, I want to be a pilot......"
"Dead Poets Society?" A film critic touched his head and muttered, but obviously there is no seriousness of the Death Poets Society here, everything is so sunny, maybe not so profound, but it is expressing the same topic, what kind of person do you want to be? You are willing to be bound by the "rules" of people in the world, the eyes of friends and eyes, and the expectations of family; Or are you willing to do what you really love and be who you want to be?
The topic is discussed in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, no preaching, no heaviness, very comfortable, and sometimes a little funny. On the screen, Li Mei walked down the stairs murderously, but Li Xue slipped and fell, the french fries sauce box on the dinner plate flew up, and it hit Li Mei right on, the singing and dancing in the cafeteria stopped abruptly, everyone looked at Li Mei in shock, and Li Mei suddenly screamed bitterly!
"Hahaha!" There was a burst of laughter in the movie hall, and the students were gloating, even Li Mei's supporters were smiling. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
