Chapter 218: Here it is

The time finally came to September 28th, the last Friday of the last week of this month, after the last three days of this week, it will be the National Day file, and two Chinese blockbusters will stage a strong dialogue today. {

The premiere of "Painted Skin" will be arranged in the largest theater of China Film Star Art Cinema Line in Kyoto as always, if there is no accident, this will also be the last time Lin Yuquan's film will be arranged here, and next year Shuguang Cinema Line will appear in front of everyone with a sideways attitude.

Thank you for the beauty, today's weather is exceptionally good, starting at four o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet arranged in the square outside the theater is lively, today's red carpet show can definitely be described as star-studded and big-name gathering, first of all, the crew of "Painted Skin" itself is very shining, Lin Yuquan, Li Lianjie, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Hao Lei, Wang Luodan, Wu Zhengyu all appeared on the scene, and Yuquan family in Kyoto Liu Ye, Jiang Wenli, Gao Xixi, Xiao Yang, Luo Jin, Zhu Yawen and Xu Jinglei, who came back from finishing a few days ago, are here.

In addition, Lin Yuquan also specially invited some friends in the entertainment industry who are in Kyoto and free to help, including Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yi, Chen Daoming, Chen Kaige, Zhang Ziyi, Jiang Qingqing, Zhang Guoli and his wife, Zhang Tieling, Wang Gang, Chen Jianbing, Fan Binbin, of course, Zhang Liangying, who sang the theme song, must also come, and the interesting thing is that Huayi Brothers Music Company also sent its Yuquan and Huang Zheng over to serve as guest performers to cheer up the premiere, and the president Yuan Tao is a good means.

And if it weren't for the film and television dramas such as "The Legend of Deer and Ding" and "Crazy Racing" that are being filmed, presumably the red carpet will be more lively today, but that's it. The premiere of "Painted Skin" is also comparable to an awards ceremony.

The host of the premiere was Zhu Jun. After dinner that night. The relationship between the two has become quite familiar, and this time he took the initiative to be the host for Lin Yuquan, and it was free, purely in the nature of voluntary help.

Under the guidance of Zhu Jun, the red carpet show went extremely smoothly, seeing that it was almost dark, and the red carpet show was also coming to an end, and the last link was a media interview.

"Director Lin. I'm Song Guang from "Nanfang Daily", and "Baby Plan" starring Brother Cheng Long will also be released at the same time tonight, many people are concerned about the box office competition between the two films, what do you think? An eyed young man in a black suit asked, holding up the microphone.

"Heh, are you setting a trap for me? Brother Cheng Long and I have no grievances, there is no need to divide your life and death. Lin Yuquan smiled: "Brother Cheng Long is one of my favorite actors, his movies are different from other people's action movies, not with cool fights as the main play, but in the plot of the fight cleverly integrated comedy elements, people can't help laughing." As soon as you hear the name, "Baby Project" knows that this is a movie that is very suitable for adults and children to watch together, and of course, my "Painted Skin" is also a very wonderful movie. You can watch both, watch him first, watch mine first, and hope we can all get good results. ”

"Director Lin, I'm from "Time.com", director Feng Xiaogang won a box office of 57 million in four days after its premiere, breaking the weekly box office record in September in recent years, and the cumulative box office in two weeks exceeded 100 million, do you think "Painted Skin" will exceed this number?" A curvaceous female reporter in a professional dress and skirt asked.

"You must not have known the schedule of several movies this week before you asked me, the schedule of the premiere of "Night Banquet" was as high as 60%, almost dominating the schedule, and this week, because of the relationship between the two heavyweight movies released at the same time, the schedule of the two films is not very high, my "Painted Skin" is 45%, Cheng Long's "Myth" is 33%, and "Night Banquet" has dropped to 12%, the impact of film scheduling on the box office of the film is undoubted, 45% to 60%, what do you think I should think?" Lin Yuquan asked with a smile.

The female reporter was a little embarrassed, she really didn't know the difference in film scheduling.

She was embarrassed, others were not embarrassed, a middle-aged man with bald hair asked out loud: "We all know that the first two weeks of the release of "Red Cliff" last year were almost exclusive, and the strong opponent was only "Wuji", which led to the later "Red Cliff" breaking the box office record of Chinese films in the mainland, but this year, the schedule of "Painted Skin" is less than that of "Red Cliff" released in the same period last year, and there is one more strong competitor, in this case, can the box office of "Painted Skin" still reach or even exceed the box office of "Red Cliff"? ”

"It depends on the support of the audience, although there are fewer films, but if everyone is willing to come to the cinema to watch the movie, the box office will not be much less, as for how much it can reach, I don't know, but I am very confident in the quality of "Painted Skin", the special effects of the film will definitely make people addicted, which has been reflected in the two waves of trailers, and if you watch it on the big screen in the theater, I believe that feeling will be even better, and strongly build a movie theater." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

After the interview, all the stars and reporters, film critics, and movie fans and audiences also flocked to the theater, and the entire theater was chartered by "Painted Skin" tonight, and all the fans who came to watch the movie participated in the event on the official website of Shuguang Film Company to win tickets, although the factors of attraction were different, it can be said that everyone is a fan of "Painted Skin".

Since the premiere time had not yet arrived, the stars did not enter the theater immediately, but stayed in a room inside the theater and chatted with each other.

"Yuquan, your battle is much bigger than my "Night Banquet", and if you do this, the box office of "Night Banquet" this week has definitely plummeted." Feng Xiaogang said angrily, but he didn't actually mean to be angry.

"It's not like I didn't go to the premiere of "Night Banquet", I don't know what the situation is! And how could the box office of "Night Banquet" plummet this week, from Monday to Thursday, we didn't compete with you. Lin Yuquan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Well, even if it doesn't fall sharply this week, next week, next week is estimated to be more miserable."

"Please, you've been exclusive for so long, and you're not satisfied, but I'm going to face you and "Baby Project" as soon as it's released, if you even think it's miserable, why didn't you choose it in November!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

In November, is there a box office in November? Feng Xiaogang was quite speechless, in fact, he was generally satisfied with the box office of "Night Banquet". Although in the next few weeks. The schedule of "Night Banquet" is not high. But except for "Painted Skin" and "Baby Project", there are no strong movies released, and in the end, there is no problem for the box office of "Night Banquet" to reach 150 million, plus Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas sales, there is no problem in recovering the cost of his transformation work.

"Don't talk about this, I have good news for you, the annual award of the China Film Directors Association will be held again next year."

"Yo, really? That's great. But didn't you say at the beginning of the year that the above review was not passed? Lin Yuquan looked puzzled, last year's first China Film Directors Association Annual Awards were held very successfully, but this year's annual awards were not held, the reason is that the "National Literary and Art Press and Publication Awards Management Measures" issued last year re-standardized the film awards, and the second China Film Directors Association Annual Awards that were originally expected to be held were not approved.

"Hey, Huang Jianxin has re-applied for the film awards, if you don't believe it, the name of the film award will be changed as soon as it is changed." Feng Xiaogang pursed his lips, a little sarcastic.

"Changed your name? What did it change? Lin Yuquan asked suspiciously.

"China Film Directors Association Annual Commendation Conference, what do you think of the name?" Feng Xiaogang asked with a smile.

"Commendation Congress. This change makes it seem that the film awards are not formal! Lin Yuquan frowned.

"No, it feels like our directors guild is entertaining themselves by eating, drinking, and having fun. Take advantage of this to give the directors an opportunity to reminisce, relax, and travel. Feng Xiaogang said unhappily, obviously not liking this name.

"In fact, the form of eating, drinking and having fun is still good, the directors are all hard, of course it is good to have the opportunity to get together to relax and communicate, but since it is a film award, it must be close to the formal film awards, otherwise it is better to organize a simple party." Lin Yuquan smiled.

"Yes! I think so too. ”

"Actually, the name doesn't matter, the key is to see what to do, to be honest, I'm very interested in it."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Kaige suddenly walked over and said.

"Oh, let's talk about the Directors Guild Annual Awards."

When it was almost 7 o'clock, Lin Yuquan beckoned everyone to enter the largest theater in the theater, ready to watch the premiere of "Painted Skin", the theater that can accommodate 200 people was full, the main creator of the "Painted Skin" crew and the star guests who helped sat in the front row, and the back row was the lucky fans who got movie tickets, as for the media reporters and filmmakers, because there were too many people and the capacity of this theater was limited, they were arranged in other theaters.

At the same time, in countless movie theaters that were released at the same time, almost every theater was filled with fans and audiences, and there were unusually many people watching "Painted Skin", but because the theater schedule was not so sufficient, the theater was all full, and everyone was talking softly and staring at the screen, waiting for the screening of "Painted Skin".

As the third film directed by himself, Lin Yuquan has completely lost the tension of "Huo Yuanjia" and "Red Cliff" at this time, with a faint smile on his face, he looks so calm, of course, there are expectations, what he wants to know most now is what kind of results can the movie "Painted Skin" achieve? This is related to his film plans later.

"Whew." Zhou Xun stared blankly at the big screen playing patch advertisements, only to feel that his heart was pounding, how long has it been since he felt like this, isn't it the premiere of a movie? She wanted to say this, but she couldn't say it, because she knew better than anyone else that this was definitely self-deception, this was a premiere, but it was not an ordinary premiere, not only was it ordinary, it was too important to her.

As one of the most box office appealing actresses in China, she has acted in a lot of films, "Fengyue", "Suzhou River", "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle", "Balzac and the Little Tailor", "Baby in Love", "If Love", "Red Cliff", "Night Banquet", many of which are heroines, and have won many awards for this, but she can't suppress her nervousness, and this qiē is because of the heavy meaning of "Painted Skin" to her.

Although he has already starred in "Red Cliff. is such a popular movie all over the world, but in that movie, she is only a third female role, and the roles are not as brilliant as Liu Yifei and Fan Binbin, not to mention that "Red Cliff" is another movie that focuses on war scenes, so although the success of "Red Cliff" has added a glamorous resume to her acting career, it has not helped her career much.

"Painted Skin" is different, this is her first film as the heroine of the super-large production, as long as "Painted Skin" can achieve the same results as "Red Cliff", she will really take a step towards the world, international star, there is no domestic actor who does not want to reach this height.

Because of this, she felt nervous and nervous, although she already knew what story this was telling, what details were in it, and what wonderful shots were there, but she had not seen the movie version in advance, and she couldn't completely put her mind at ease, let alone predict the audience's reaction.

"What's wrong, feeling nervous?" Zhou Xun sat on Lin Yuquan's left hand side, and he clearly felt this kind of affection from the other party.

"Hmm." Zhou Xun generously admitted.

"Yo, bizarre, bizarre, we have always been confident and bold Zhou Gongzi actually has a time when you are nervous, is it possible that the sun is coming out in the west today?" Lin Yuquan joked.

"What, Zhou Xun is nervous." Li Lianjie, who was sitting on Lin Yuquan's right, said in surprise.

"Yes, it's weird, what's there to be nervous about, don't worry, you have to have confidence in our movie, to be honest, if Hao Lei is nervous, I'm not surprised, but you really can't say it!" Lin Yuquan smiled.

"Director Lin, I'm actually nervous." Hao Lei was sitting next to Zhou Xun, and when she heard Lin Yuquan's words, she spoke up.

"Oh." Lin Yuquan sighed: "Speaking of which, the most nervous thing is me, the movie is my investment, if the box office of the movie is not ideal, I will lose a lot of money, unlike you, after acting, the money will go into your purse, now I am not nervous, what are you nervous about, you have to have a little confidence in our movie, what is the situation, it will be clear in a while." ”

"Director Lin is right, the quality of the movie, don't we feel it when we are filming? And you also watched the two waves of trailers of "Painted Skin", it's very exciting, anyway, I'm confident in it, if even we don't have confidence, do other Chinese movies dare to say that they have confidence? Li Lianjie said domineeringly.

At this time, the screening hall suddenly fell silent, and I saw that the broadcast of the roll advertisement on the big screen had ended, and it was pitch black, which was the precursor to the official screening.

"Here we are."

In an instant, Zhou Xun, Li Lianjie, Hao Lei, and Wang Luodan all looked at the big screen, and everyone had different feelings in their eyes, but one thing was the same, everyone wanted to know what "Painted Skin" was like, and whether it was as wonderful as Lin Yuquan said.
