Chapter 554: A Critically Acclaimed Movie
After a sumptuous dinner and a short rest, Lu Yao drove to a large movie theater in the city.
It's not the largest cinema in Donghai City, but it's a state-of-the-art cinema with all the facilities inside, as Zhou Wenjie deliberately uses 3D shooting technology to reflect the thrilling and magnificent side of the sea.
This premiere ceremony was also held in the 3D screening hall, and there were quite a few people, as many as hundreds.
Except for some of the reporters and film critics invited by Zhou Wenjie, as well as close friends, many of the other participants were lucky viewers who were drawn by lottery.
But no matter who it is, except for a few people, Lu Yao doesn't know him, but Xiao Wan knows more stars and film critics, and from time to time there are exclamations in his mouth.
It's just that Lu Xiaowan has been training in the training base recently, and her mentality is much calmer than before, but she didn't rush up to them excitedly to ask for autographs, but just stayed by Lu Yao and Su Jingya's side, quietly admiring everything she saw in front of her.
This made Lu Yao quite comforting, if a person wants to take on a big responsibility, it is not possible without a stable heart.
Lu Xiaowan's identity is destined to be a burden on her in the future, and Lu Yao has begun to consciously cultivate her, expand her horizons and connections, bring her into contact with various people, and let her transform quickly.
Lu Yao took out the movie tickets of himself and others, walked into the screening room, and walked inside, only to see Zhou Wenjie and Yan Baiyi and others surrounded by a crowd.
In this situation, Lu Yao obviously couldn't communicate with Zhou Wenjie and the others, but he didn't care too much, Yaoyao said hello to him, and took his family members to find the location on the movie ticket.
They were delayed for a bit of time when they were eating at the Manching Hotel, and it could basically be said that they were stuck in time, and by the time they found their place, they were already full of people.
After waiting for about ten minutes, they saw a host come to the stage and began to announce the official start of today's movie premiere.
The host this time is also a big name in the entertainment industry, even if Lu Yao rarely pays attention to the news in the entertainment industry, he feels very familiar with him.
Under the auspices of his witty words, the premiere ceremony was very lively, and director Zhou Wenjie and several leading actors were asked about some interesting topics about the creation and shooting of the film.
Later, director Zhou Wenjie answered some reporters' questions and talked about his expectations for the box office of this movie.
Lu Yao only knew at this time that although the movie had not yet been officially released, through the early publicity, its pre-sale box office had reached 300 million, basically ensuring that the movie was invincible.
If the word-of-mouth comes up in the later stage, as the most anticipated movie in the summer file, it is not unthinkable that there will be a hot scene.
Lu Yao has no doubts about Zhou Wenjie's directing ability, if it weren't for this, he would not have granted the film adaptation copyright to Zhou Wenjie, and he also invested 30 million.
As Zhou Wenjie and the leading actors answered questions, the movie finally began to be officially played.
As the plot continues to unfold, Lu Yao's sensitive ears hear various exclamations from the screening hall from time to time, especially the sea under the stormy waves, the fishing boat is like a leaf, it will be destroyed at any time, and the powerful special effects and 3D effects make the audience immersive and frightened.
When Tai Chi appeared later, after online publicity, the audience and friends already knew that this killer whale was acting in its true colors, and they were doubly curious about its performance.
After seeing Tai Chi's clever performance, as well as the wonderful performance, as well as the scene of him fighting more than a dozen or twenty sharks, everyone sighed, and rushed to this textbook hunting skill, which was completely worth the ticket price.
After a movie, it takes nearly two hours, and the audience is addicted, even those extremely critical film critics, in the face of this film with both commercial and humanistic atmosphere, they also have a high evaluation, even the most critical film critics feel that it is worth watching.
At the end of the movie, the premiere was very well received, and the next thing was naturally to hold a celebration banquet.
Zhou Wenjie came to invite Lu Yao to participate, but he refused, it was not early now, the two little ones were relatively sleepy, and Lu Yao was ready to take them back to sleep.
"Hehe, Director Zhou, you can just go by yourself, anyway, I will deal with some things in the provincial capital these days, if you want to come out and sit down, you can call me at any time." ”
When Zhou Wenjie heard Lu Yao's words, he didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "That's okay, then I won't bother you today." After the film is drawn, there will be a real celebration party, and you should definitely come to it when the time comes. ”
Today's premiere ceremony just shows that this film has the potential to be popular, and what will be the final result? It will depend on how the next movies will perform.
To be honest, the timing of the release of the movie "Hurricane Rescue" is not particularly good. Although it is also summer now, it is already August, and there is less than a month before the end of the summer vacation.
Normally, the release time of a movie will be about a month, but for a well-known director like Zhou Wenjie, it is completely possible to extend the schedule to two months.
In this way, there will be no problem with the film being screened until September, but by then, the school has already opened, which will still affect the box office to some extent.
But there is no way to do it, after all, the production time of this movie is not long, and it is not easy to catch up with the summer file, and Zhou Wenjie himself can't force too much.
After all, compared with the release time, he pays more attention to the quality of the movie itself, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, the box office of the movie mainly depends on the first few weeks.
If the first month is not good, even if it is shown for another month, it will not be of much significance, and the theater will not agree to extend the screening time, comparing them to make money.
When he got up the next morning, Lu Yao took out his mobile phone and searched for the news of yesterday's movie on the Internet, although he didn't care much about the return on investment of 30 million, he still couldn't help but want to care about it.
After some searching, there have been many related news on the Internet, all of which have praised the movie "Hurricane Rescue", saying that whether it is the plot, special effects, music or watching cute pet killer whales, this movie is very worth watching.
At least in this way, the reputation of this movie has been guaranteed, and it can be regarded as a great acclaim, and the next step is the journey of collecting money.
There are even box office prediction agencies, and the box office prediction for this movie can reach more than 2 billion, as for whether it can be more, it depends on the later efforts.
