Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Premiere
This time "Huo Yuanjia" was released, Shuguang Film Company did not go to great lengths to arrange the premiere of the film for film promotion in advance.
It's just that on the day of the national premiere, a large cinema in Kyoto was specially selected for the Chinese film star American Cinema Line, and the fans and audiences who got admission tickets were accompanied by the leading actors and invited guests to watch the movie together in the theater.
Of course, although the event is simple, everyone in Shuguang Film Company attaches great importance to this premiere, and the cost of arranging the event alone is quite expensive, although it is not comparable to Zhang Weiping's big money of smashing 20 million yuan to hold the premiere in the Great Hall of the People, but Ning Hao and Xiao Yang are shouting losers, and the money spent is enough for them to shoot "Green Meadow".
According to the event arrangement, an hour and a half before the release of the movie, Shuguang Film Company will conduct a short one-hour premiere in a venue arranged outside the cinema, during which there will be performances, the main creator of the film will interact with the audience, and media reporters can also interview the stars at close range.
From half past four in the afternoon, the corresponding personnel arrived one after another.
Zhen Zidan, Xu Jinglei, Wu Jing, Fan Shaohuang, Fu Zhaolong and other domestic actors, as well as Lennox who is far away in a foreign land. Lewis, Muslim Abdulaev, and Machii Xun all rushed over, and the cast of "Huo Yuanjia" can be described as huge.
Of course, at this time, how can there be little support from friends, teachers and elders, in addition to Liu Yifei, who is filming "The Condor Heroes" in Yandang Mountain, including Ning Hao, Xiao Yang, Wang Luodan and others who have finished filming, as well as people he specially invited by phone such as Lu Ming, Zhang Huijun, Jiang Li, Xie Fei, Zhang Yimou and others, also came to the theater early.
With the beginning of the premiere event, Lin Yuquan and the leading actors began to take the stage to do some simple interactions with fans, and in the interval, they were interspersed with specially invited singers and hip-hop dance team performances.
The interaction and performance were already very interesting, coupled with the skillful guidance of the host, the fans and passers-by who were attracted by the event made the whole scene extremely lively.
Near the end of the event, Lin Yuquan answered the phone, and then explained to Ding Zhi and others, and went straight to the intersection outside the theater, standing there anxiously waiting with a lot of anxiety in his heart, staring at the taxi that stopped on the side of the road.
Time passed slowly, every minute, every second, as if it was as uncomfortable as a year.
Suddenly, a taxi stopped in front of the movie theater, and two figures, a man and a woman, came out of it.
Because of the cold weather, both of them were wearing thick down jackets, and they looked about forty years old.
Although it was night, the two of them still looked energetic, and they were full of elegant and graceful temperament, which could only be cultivated by being immersed in a scholarly environment for a long time.
"Mom, Dad." Lin Yuquan hurriedly greeted him.
"Hmph, stinky boy, you actually secretly learned to direct and make movies from me and your mother, if it weren't for your mother reading the newspaper and seeing a report with your photo attached, the two of us still don't know, how long do you want to hide it from us?" Father Lin scolded Lin Yuquan with a straight face.
"Aren't I afraid that your second elder will disagree? I'm going to tell you when I have the results, so I called you before the premiere and invited you to take a look at my results. Lin Yuquan said cautiously.
"Hmph, I know we don't agree that you would dare to do such a thing, and you were invited? It's just a notification, and as soon as I finish talking about things, I hang up the phone. I didn't make it clear to you last time, but now I'll tell you that if I watch your movie and find that you didn't make it well, then you can go back to Kyoto Normal University and continue your studies. Father Lin still said with a straight face.
Lin Yuquan touched his forehead weakly, the last time he hung up the phone, he was not afraid of being scolded by Father Lin, it was far better to show the movie directly to Father Lin for a while.
"You're really, why didn't you say it to your mother in advance, but don't worry, your dad is this temper, in fact, he is quite happy in his heart, you don't know, when I asked the dean for leave to participate in the premiere of your movie, he was more active than me!" After Lin Yuquan was counted, Lin Mu immediately whispered beside him to comfort.
"Mom, I'm fine, wait for you and my dad to test my efforts and results during this time, I'm confident that I won't disappoint you." Lin Yuquan finally had a smile on his face.
"It's good to have confidence, but whether it's self-confidence or conceit, you won't know until you have seen the movie, it's still too early." Father Lin's tone was as cold and stern as before, and he turned around and walked in the direction of the entrance of the movie theater.
"After a lifetime of stubbornness, he is now a director, isn't it better than studying in film and television?" Mother Lin complained at Father Lin's back, and then touched Lin Yuquan's cheek: "Why is it so much thinner than when I went home for the New Year last year, I have read reports before, saying that celebrities often stay up late and always can't eat when filming, are you also so hard when filming?" ”
"Mom, I don't have the habit of abusing myself, I'm the director, I'm the biggest in the crew, I rest when I'm tired, eat when I'm hungry, everyone else has to come according to my situation, and I'm not called thin, you touch it, although it's not strong, but all I have is genuine, fake muscles, and don't you think I'm more handsome than before?" Lin Yuquan held Lin Mu's arm and said playfully.
"You kid." Mother Lin slapped Lin Yuquan's hand away in amusement.
"Oops, Dad doesn't know the location of the designated theater yet, Mom, let's go in!" Lin Yuquan's face changed, and then he pulled Lin's mother to catch up with Lin's father, at this time, the premiere event had ended, and all the fans and audiences had entered the cinema.
Without any trouble, Lin Yuquan took Lin's father and Lin's mother into the designated premiere screening room, where he and a group of leading actors will accompany the 100 fans who received free admission tickets to watch "Huo Yuanjia" throughout the process.
The first three rows of the theater are almost reserved for actors, guests, and several managers of Shuguang Film Company, and the seats arranged by Lin Yuquan for his parents are next to Wang Luodan and Jiang Yan in the third row, and he himself sits in the first row with the main creator of the crew.
After introducing Wang Luodan and Jiang Yan to his parents and asking them to help him take care of his parents, he sat back in his place and chatted with Xu Jinglei and Zhen Zidan, and at this time, the movie also began to play.
As the lights in the screening room dimmed, everyone immediately held their breath and focused on the screen.
Lin Yuquan's heart became nervous, although he had watched the movie a few times, and he felt that he had made a very good film, but this feeling of being tested by others was too worrying, even if he still couldn't control his feelings.
"Rest assured, your film will be a success." Xu Jinglei, who was sitting on his right hand, said with a smile.
"Of course I knew I was going to make it, but it was just the first time I had experienced this kind of situation, and I was a little uncomfortable." Lin Yuquan smiled reluctantly.
Xu Jinglei nodded, the same is true of her first movie, but this kind of discomfort or uneasiness in her heart will soon disappear with the audience's reaction.
The screen lit up in an instant, first a sunrise-like dawn film company logo appeared, followed by passionate music tunes, and soon in the picture, in the cover of the mountains, a huge martial arts arena appeared.
At this time, Huo Yuanjia's three strong big characters also appeared on the screen, and then quickly switched the main creative subtitles, director Lin Yuquan, screenwriter Lin Yuquan, starring Lin Yuquan, Xu Jinglei, Zhen Zidan, and finally the space was closer, and now he is acting in the martial arts field.
I saw dozens of young men wearing white clothes and black pants practice uniforms and cloth belts around their waists shouting slogans in unison, practicing boxing techniques one by one under the leadership of a dignified middle-aged man.
At this time, the picture suddenly turned, and a row of dustpans appeared outside the martial arts arena, which was covered with various medicinal herbs, and then a young man who seemed to be reading with a book, but his eyes inadvertently swept over the martial arts training ground from time to time appeared on the wide screen.
As soon as this person appeared, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the screening hall.
That's right, this is the first appearance of Huo Yuanjia played by Lin Yuquan.
Although the fans and audiences in the theater had seen Lin Yuquan himself in the previous premiere, when this Huo Yuanjia, who had a handsome face and a bookish temperament, appeared, he still felt very amazing.
What's even more amazing is that he is not a director? But how could he play the ancient scholars so realistically, at first glance, it seems that he was really the same as the scholars at that time.
Father Lin was also surprised to look at Lin Yuquan's back in the darkness in front of him, although he knew in the report that his son was both a director and a star, and was praised as very talented.
But he was always worried that his son gave up his studies to make movies on a whim, but judging from the appearance in front of him, this kid does have the potential to be an actor.
Pulling his eyes back to the screen, with Huo Yuanjia's debut, the plot of the movie slowly opened up and showed it in front of everyone.
Everyone watched it with relish, and before they knew it, they had a fight between Huo Yuanjia and Nameless, which was also the first small ** in the movie.
At this time, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten, and their eyes were firmly locked on the two people on the screen, for fear of missing any shot.
It seems that thousands of years have passed, and it is finally the turn of the two to fight.
I saw that Zhen Zidan was attacking fiercely, like a tiger out of the cage, and he made a fatal attack on Lin Yuquan.
In the face of such a ferocious offensive, Huo Yuanjia was not in a hurry, as if he was strolling leisurely, seeing the moves, he always turned the nameless killing machine into invisible.
At the same time, his eyes were like lightning paying attention to every move and style of Nameless, and finally when Nameless revealed a flaw, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and at that moment, he suddenly punched, and his fist carried an unstoppable momentum, and slammed into Nameless's abdomen, accompanied by the distortion and deformation of Nameless's body, the whole person was knocked away and fell to the ground.
"Wow, this is the real boxing fight, it's so enjoyable."
"I know, but don't you scream so loudly that you disturb me watching the movie."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so excited."
And Lin Yuquan, who was always paying attention to the movement of the screening hall, only felt that his heart was full of pride at this time, and before he knew it, the previous nervous feelings had dissipated without stopping.
