Chapter 316: Baby Premiere
The box office market in September is surging, before imported blockbusters competed for the box office championship, and after the release of "Night Banquet", it was the time for it to dominate, winning 22 million box office in a week, and there was no pressure to break 100 million. And in the second week, it went to the next city and won 25 million box office, and at the end of half a month, the cumulative box office of "Night Banquet" has reached 47 million.
When "Night Banquet" was in full swing, the high-profile kung fu comedy "Baby Project" ushered in its premiere. This box office market is extremely unfavorable for "Baby Plan", the publicity time is short, the effect is probably not big enough, and according to the forecast, although the box office of "Night Banquet" has dropped this week, there is no problem with reaching 20 million.
North ~ Jingxin Film Association? Huayi Brothers Cinema, the long red carpet has been rolled out, today's premiere must be overcrowded, and the theater has also made a lot of arrangements to arrange the flow of people.
"Baby Project" is a co-production between the mainland and Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong, jointly produced by Huayi Brothers and Jackie Chan Emperor Film Investment Company, so it is reasonable that the premiere will be set in the mainland.
"Guess what the reaction of the critics and the audience will be tonight?" Jackie Chan followed Yang Lin with a smile and said, he was still quite apprehensive in his heart. Every movie is a child, and it's normal to be nervous when your own child is going to be taken out to meet people.
Yang Lin's palms are also full of sweat, if the first starring film has a good reputation, then the media will have fewer doubts about him, and there will be more trust and expectations for him.
"It should be good, to be honest, I haven't seen the finished product yet, and it depends on the market to test it." Yang Lin told the truth that he had never seen the finished product at all, so the overall effect was unknown.
"Take it easy, we've already had a small test screening, there are only a few people, and it is said that the effect is not bad, everyone laughs happily when it's time to laugh, and everyone clenches their fists when it's time to be nervous." Chen Musheng walked over in a suit, he has always been how casual he wears, but he didn't expect it to be so formal today.
Yang Lin nodded, with Chen Musheng's words, he felt a little more at ease, a year is about to pass in a blink of an eye, filmed at the beginning of the year, and now it will be released.
"How many of your friends will come? We have to prepare the position, otherwise it will be embarrassing. Jackie Chan took the list handed over by the staff, and then said to Yang Lin.
"I don't know either, mainly because they weren't informed. They're all busy, and they don't necessarily come. ”
"You kid, it's one thing whether you come or not, and it's another thing whether you tell me or not. You're going to tell them the news anyway. After Jackie Chan heard Yang Lin's words, he couldn't help but shake his head, and he said: "How are connections made?" It's easy for you to be alienated from your friends now, and you're not social. ”
Somewhat embarrassed, Yang Lin opened his mouth and said a little weakly: "Then what now?" ”
"If you don't notice, you won't notice. Otherwise, now that the premiere is about to start, they still think that you can't find someone to stand on the platform to go to him, which will definitely plant a thorn in his heart. ”
Yang Lin nodded, learning from a person like Jackie Chan who is thriving in the entertainment industry, he really benefited a lot.
"Time is running out, are you done?" The director in charge of the premiere at the scene said to Yang Lin and others, he hung a work card around his neck, wore a peaked cap, kept directing, and the preparations for the scene were carried out in an orderly manner.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sky was reflected beautifully. The most beautiful season in Beijing is autumn, when the autumn is crisp and the dress is just right.
There were already many reporters gathered on the red carpet outside the theater, as well as a steady stream of audiences and fans. Tickets for today's premiere have been distributed through a random selection, which is also a good means of publicity.
Yang Lin and the others left by car from the back door of the theater in a low-key manner, because they had to walk the red carpet, so they had to go outside.
At six o'clock, the temperature was quite high, and Yang Lin could still feel the rolling heat outside when he sat in the luxury car, not to mention the sweaty fans around the red carpet.
As the leading actors of the movie, Yang Lin and others took the lead on the red carpet. Yang Lin's red carpet partner is his wife Cai Zhuoyan in the movie, and after Yang Lin got out of the car, he took her down very gentlemanly.
The first group of guests, who violated common sense, directly ignited the scene. No one thought that Yang Lin and Cai Zhuoyan would be the first to walk on the red carpet, and the reporters who were dizzy from the sun hurriedly picked up their cameras to take pictures.
Yang Lin and Cai Zhuoyan are both idol stars, so there are quite a lot of fans who came to the scene, especially the "Rainforest", they are wearing uniform white cultural shirts, with Yang Lin's head printed on them, and their respective numbers on the back.
From the moment Yang Lin got out of the car, the flashing lights were connected, illuminating the entire red carpet. The cheers of the audience suddenly rang out, like thunder. The thunderous cheers and applause on both sides of the red carpet made Yang Lin's ears a little deaf, and the continuous cheers had a kind of overwhelming momentum.
Yang Lin was wearing a pure white T-shirt and a small round hat on his head, he didn't look like he was walking the red carpet, more like he was going on an outing vacation. Cai Zhuoyan is a light blue backless evening dress, with a delicate design and light makeup, which makes her look more shy than cute.
One casual and one formal, but there is just the right harmony when standing together. The two of them held hands and slowly moved forward. Yang Lin waved his hand from time to time and smiled at his fans.
As soon as it came up, it was the main event, and the reporters were full of expectations for the next red carpet.
There was no interview on the red carpet this time, so the two just stood in front of the reporter and changed a few poses for them to take pictures.
Entering the theater, Yang Lin looked around and found that there were already many audiences sitting on the chairs. After they saw Yang Lin and the two come in, they instantly burst into cheers, and the flashes of mobile phones and cameras hit the two of them.
At the time of the premiere, usually the crew and invited guests sit in the front, the reporter and the film critic sit in the middle, and the audience sits in the back. Yang Lin and the two came to the front of the big screen under the guidance of the staff.
Sitting in the first row, Yang Lin felt that it was quite difficult to raise his head in this position, but for the sake of the whole, he could only endure it.
After that, the stars entered one after another, and I have to say that Jackie Chan, as a big brother in the Chinese film industry, has an extraordinary appeal. Celebrities of all sizes are like carp crossing the river, flocking to them, Yang Lin counted them carefully, there were seven or eight names he could name, and there were many that looked familiar.
Jackie Chan came to Yang Lin and sat down next to him. Yang Lin said with some envy: "It's worthy of being a big brother, look at these stars in the back, they are all coming for you." ”
Jackie Chan and he looked behind at the same time, and found that the star-studded ones were even more lively than some almost award ceremonies. "It's all about them giving face and cheering. You kid doesn't know how to be a person at all, you don't call anyone, if you want to mix in the entertainment industry, you can't lack the necessary communication. He took off Yang Lin's hat, and then said: "I still wear a hat in the movie theater, take it off." ”
After everyone was seated, the lights in the movie theater slowly dimmed, the big screen began to shine, and the movie was about to begin. There is no performance, except for the red carpet is to watch the film directly. Film critics and reporters secretly thought that Chen Musheng must have confidence in the movie.
A familiar melody sounded, and the first thing that appeared on the screen was the logo of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, followed by the logo of Huayi Brothers and Jackie Chan Emperor Company.
With the appearance of the cast and crew, "Baby Project" kicked off.
Yang Lin also relaxed, tilted his head slightly, and watched attentively.
This is a movie with the theme of rescue, the first half of the flip-flops and Bagatus are scrambling to live with the little baby, the baby awakens their inner conscience, and the end of the film is two people teaming up to rescue the baby who was almost put to death by the gang. With an emotional and touching route, under the guidance of the baby, people forget about judgment, and the expression that is not violated by the world can also evoke our original cherishing of life.
The most outstanding supporting role in the film is Bai Yan played by Cai Zhuoyan, with a few appearances, but she played a girl who was obsessively waiting for her husband very realistically, when Bai Yan was scolded by Baidatong outside the hotel in clothes dressed as chickens for promotion, Bai Yan's aggrieved and desolate eyes can already make the audience forget that this is a girl who used to be funny.
When he saw this scene, Yang Lin couldn't help but glance at Cai Zhuoyan with him, and then spit out two words: "Divorce!" The two laughed tacitly.
The audience also laughed, but they didn't expect that Yang Lin and Cai Zhuoyan would also have a chemical reaction when they cooperated. Film critic Luo Feng nodded and said to the people around him: "Cai Zhuoyan has made quite obvious progress this time, which is very good!" ”
Although "Baby Project" has a strong commercial atmosphere, the soundtrack is full of action, the plot is advancing rapidly, the lines are full of humor, and intense and tense scenes abound. The amusement park is full of exciting scenes such as climbing and shuttling on roller coasters, crashing in a row, and jumping from the air conditioning of high-rise buildings. These entertainment elements ensure that the film is strong and interesting, so that the audience always maintains great interest in watching the movie, and will never produce a sense of boredom and tiredness.
The two-hour movie is completed in one go, without any feeling of procrastination, which makes people's mood follow the plot up and down, with joys and sorrows. When the theme song of the movie sung by Jackie Chan sounded, the audience felt that they were still unsatisfied, and they felt a pity when they looked at some of the cut shots on the screen.
The creators stood up one after another, bowed deeply to the audience, and then were greeted by continuous applause from the audience.
There is no doubt that this premiere was a success, and you can see from the expressions of the audience that they are discussing the plot and have exaggerated smiles on their faces.
