Chapter 395: New Movie
Gu Mian hugged the book and winked at her playfully: "I think the editor-in-chief still has to find another literary translator to be prepared." If I mess up, won't I delay the publisher's big event. ”
This sentence is not a joke, she really does it with the mentality of trying, anyway, she will write articles when she is idle at home after school. It would be great if it could help Alisa. If the manuscript she translated cannot be used, it can be regarded as enriching her knowledge, and she will not lose any result.
Because I wasn't sure if I could do it well, it would be safer for Alisa to prepare for both.
In fact, even if she doesn't say it, Alisa will find someone else to translate, and she has always been rigorous in her work, and it is necessary to prepare the most perfect plan.
Gu Mian said "good night" and walked out of the study, flipping through the book while going upstairs, and decided to read the full text from tonight first. Epistolary books are not a complete story, some of which she has forgotten after reading them, and the emotions from beginning to end are coherent, and reading them in advance is conducive to understanding.
She lay on the bed, held the book high above her head, opened the first page, and before she could read it, the phone suddenly sounded a familiar prompt sound, which was a reminder of the Weibo push message.
Gu Mian picked it up and took a look, it turned out that the movie "Atonement" was about to hold its premiere in Beijing.
The movie has been set not long ago, and it is a matter of time before the premiere is held, and as soon as the news is released, it has attracted the attention of the masses, and many people are asking on Weibo how to get tickets for the premiere, and they really want to be the first people to see the movie.
Under the clamour, it finally arrived on the day of the premiere.
In addition to the main creative team, there were also famous film critics, directors, actors and lucky fans who got tickets in the circle, and the rest were all media, a total of more than 30 media came, and the scene was very spectacular.
Ji Lingchuan was wearing a gray-blue casual suit, unbuttoned, revealing the T-shirt inside, standing in the center of the stage, next to director Mei Ruolin. The old gentleman was dressed in a crimson gown, wearing a more festive style than the New Year, and was ridiculed by the media as soon as he appeared: "Does Mr. Mei's outfit mean that the movie is booming?" ”
Mei Ruolin was in high spirits, raised the microphone and generously admitted: "It turns out that everyone has seen my thoughts!" Actually, I also brought a red scarf, mainly because it was too warm in the screening room to be used. ”
Everyone burst into laughter, but they didn't expect Mr. Mei to be so humorous.
This interesting opening led to a relaxed and harmonious interview session, with the presenters taking turns interviewing the creators, and everyone prepared in advance and answered without being critical.
They don't know what this film will achieve, but they will do their best to do their job.
When it was Ji Lingchuan's turn, after the host asked about the topics related to the movie, in order to liven up the atmosphere, the conversation changed and said: "Doesn't Mr. Ji consider buying a folding bed and putting it at the airport?" Fans are worried about you, and say that if you don't buy it, they will crowdfund to buy you one. ”
When it came to fans, cheers came from the back row of the audience, and Ji Lingchuan's fans accounted for the majority among them.
Ji Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, and reacted that he was talking about the hot search that day, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.
A few days ago, he was queuing at the airport, standing in the crowd with his eyes closed and dozing off, who knew that he really fell asleep, and he almost fell down in a trance, but fortunately, Zhao Cheng dragged him in time.
That scene happened to be recorded by a fan and posted on the Internet, forwarded tens of thousands of times, and was mentioned as a hot search, and the entry was "Ji Lingchuan was sleeping standing at the airport".
The message under this hot search topic is also very heartwarming, in addition to thinking that Ji Lingchuan's head dozing off little by little is very cute, but more distressed, how tired he is to stand and fall asleep.
Ji Tang shouted: "It is highly recommended that Ji Lingchuan buy a folding bed and put it at the airport!" If it weren't for the little assistant's quick eyesight, he would have fallen, and the hot search topic would have become 'Ji Lingchuan fell at the airport'! ”
Ji Lingchuan looked at the fans in the audience, smiled and said, "Next time I will definitely pay attention to not standing up and sleeping." ”
The host bowed his head and said: "No matter how busy you are at work, you must pay attention to your body, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution, and I look forward to you bringing us more good works!" ”
At the end of the interview, the audience asked questions.
The questions from fans who simply come to this movie are all related to the movie, such as what difficulties were encountered in the filming of the movie, how were they solved, what is the theme of the movie, and where is the charm of the characters?
Some fans were rushing to get close to their idols, and they were excited when they got the microphone, asking irrelevant questions: "Beijing has cooled down in the past two days, Ji Lingchuan, are you wearing autumn pants?" ”
The surrounding fans laughed, although they didn't want to admit it, they did care about the issue.
No matter what kind of audience it is, the filmmakers welcome it. The purpose of holding the premiere is to build momentum for the promotion of the film, and the attendees can create a topic to attract attention, and to some extent, it also achieves the effect of publicity.
Ji Lingchuan put one hand behind his back, raised the microphone to his lips, and said with a smile: "Well, I'll put it on when I go back." ”
The fan nodded with satisfaction and returned the microphone to the host, but someone behind him had the audacity to shout: "Warm pants should also be ready, it will continue to cool down next week!" ”
There was another burst of laughter at the scene, and Ji Lingchuan nodded again and again.
The interactive session lasted for more than ten minutes, igniting the atmosphere of the night to a climax, and then gradually quieting down, which means that the real show is about to be staged.
The light on the big screen in front of him dimmed suddenly, and the creators who were originally standing in front of the screen sat in the first row of the audience and watched the movie with the audience.
Ji Lingchuan's back was straight, his thin lips were pursed, his heartbeat became rapid, and his nervous emotions couldn't be hidden.
This is his first movie in the true sense, unlike the movie that only had a few shots and no two lines, this movie was his participation from beginning to end, occupying a considerable number of scenes, if the final box office is not satisfactory and the audience response is not good, even if the director does not blame him, he will blame himself.
After the producer's information on the screen was broadcast, the feature film began, Ji Lingchuan held his breath and put his hands into fists on his knees.
Mei Ruolin glanced at him from the side, saw his nervousness, and whispered slightly sideways: "I have watched the finished movie no less than five times, you have performed very well, whether the audience buys it or not, you can score ninety points with me." ”
Ji Lingchuan was stunned.
Mei Ruolin sat up straight and straightened the hem of his robe: "I believe in my vision, and you must also believe in your strength." ”
was comforted by the director, Ji Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, the light on the big screen suddenly brightened at this time, the beginning of the film was the sunny summer, the two rows of tall poplars on the side, the leaves were curled by the sun, and the noisy cicadas did not stop for a moment, bringing people back to the hot summer.
The black iron gate of the prison squeaked open, accompanied by a slightly warning male voice: "After you go out, be a new person, don't do it again." ”
In the next second, a dark-skinned, stab-haired man limped out, carrying a half-worn handbag. He paused at the door for a long time, slowly raised his head, squinted at the blue sky, and a small bird flew overhead, symbolizing that he, like this bird, was free from now on.
This is Chen Shen, who has been released from prison, and is also the protagonist of the movie, played by Ji Lingchuan.
When the audience saw this picture, they all looked at Ji Lingchuan who was sitting in the first row, he was dressed in a casual style today, with white sneakers, his hair parted in the middle, and the tips of his hair slightly curved, looking clean and refreshing, he could walk into the campus at any time and pretend to be a high school student, it really couldn't be believed that he was the same person as Chen Shen in the movie.
To be precise, the person in the picture is Chen Shen, not Ji Lingchuan.
When he acted, he eliminated all the temperament he carried, and completely turned himself into Chen Shen.
The film continues to play, there is an uncle at the entrance of Gu Bian's commissary lying on a recliner dozing, wearing a white vest and gray pants, the fan in his hand is shaking for a while, Chen Shen went in to buy a bottle of ice water, squatting in Gu Bian and not knowing where to go.
"Came out to work?" The uncle took a sip of the teacup full of tea dirt, saw him carrying his bag, and said, "I didn't find a job, ready to go home?" ”
Go home?
Chen Shen drank water, as if he suddenly remembered that he still had a home, so he threw his handbag on his shoulder and got up to go to the station.
After walking away, he replied in a low voice: "Yes, go home." "I don't know if it's to say it to myself, or to answer the uncle's question.
The bus swayed, and all kinds of unpleasant smells mixed together in the summer, mixed with the crying of children and the shrill reprimand of women, made people feel irritable. Chen Shen sat by the window, opening all the windows, with anxiety and a hint of imperceptible expectation in his eyes.
The film critic sitting in the front row read countless films, and immediately guessed that Chen Shen would not go well after returning home, otherwise the beginning of this story would tend to be flat.
Sure enough, after Chen Shen returned home, his wife had already married someone else and gave birth to a son. He stood at the door of the house and stared at the child, and his ex-wife panicked when she saw him, picked up the child and hid in the yard, without even saying a word.
The eyes of the people in the village were also full of strangeness and vague vigilance.
Yes, almost everyone here knows why Chen Shen was arrested and put in prison, and now that he is back, who dares to guarantee that he will not commit it again, and he can't afford to hide.
Without saying a word, Chen Shen picked up his bag and turned to leave, and when he left the entrance of the village, the last trace of hope in his eyes was extinguished, and he turned into indifference.
If it weren't for the name of the movie "Atonement", the audience would probably think that he was going to be blackened.
Seeing this, most people will understand that the so-called atonement tells the story of a criminal who was released from prison to change his mind and become a new person.
If that's the case, isn't it meaningful enough? The theme is also a bit thin?
Out of trust in Mei Ruolin, everyone unanimously agreed that he must have a big move behind him.
