Chapter 253: Appeal
The press room was packed with reporters from far and wide.
Cameras are set up on windowsills, doorways, and even in bathrooms.
The crowded space was filled with noise and screams, and the fire-like heat wave was surging under Feng Kai's stunned gaze, burning the premiere of "Jinyiwei".
Feng Kai saw Zhou Yang coming over, came to him, and showed a familiar smile: "I'm sorry, Director Feng, I'm late......"
"Zhou, Director Zhou, Mr. Zhou, please sit ......down" Feng Kai's voice stammered, and his mixed emotions instantly hit his heart, and finally, he felt that his nose was sour.
The once arrogant young man suddenly became at a loss at this moment, because he was so shocked that he even stammered unconsciously.
He seemed to see a light permeating Zhou Yang's body, filling his whole body.
He didn't even know whether he should call Zhou Yang Director Zhou or Mr. Zhou......
Time has passed, and nothing is the same.
The once humble layman, at this moment, under the watchful eyes of the king, returned and simply stood in place, like a god on the top of the mountain, overlooking Feng Kai.
Feng Kai's eyes were moist, and he hurriedly invited Zhou Yang to the main seat.
But......
Zhou Yang didn't sit down, but stood next to Feng Kai and looked at Feng Kai, showing a serious expression: "Director Feng, you are the protagonist today, you sit here, I'll find a chair next to me to sit on." ”
Feng Kai watched Zhou Yang find an empty chair not far from him and sat down.
Feng Kai only felt his heart tremble slightly, but when he saw that Zhou Yang's eyes were full of seriousness and encouragement, he nodded.
All the mixed emotions turned into gratitude at this moment, and he sat down and answered the reporters' questions again.
This time, the journalists seemed much more enthusiastic, no longer as lifeless as before, as if they had accomplished some task.
They talked about the movie, the story behind the movie, introduced "Jin Yiwei", and then talked about the script of the movie......
When talking about the script of the movie "Jin Yiwei", Zhou Yang participated in the revision, Feng Kai obviously realized that the audience was boiling.
The name of the person.
The shadow of the tree.
"Mine Bottom", "The Crow", "Chainsaw"......
Zhou Yang participated in the screenwriting of the films, and every movie exploded!
Coupled with the authoritative certification of the Academy Award for Best Screenplay, everyone has an extremely strong interest in the unpopular movie "Jin Yiwei"!
Time is ticking by......
An hour is over.
Feng Kai walked out of the crowded press conference hall with everyone, and when he came outside, he found that the movie theater was full of black people inside and out......
He saw that in the crowd, there were famous Chinese film critics Ba Liming, Chen Xuzhou, Zhang Xiaoou and others.
He saw that the film critic of the Berlin International Film Festival's "Screen", Gerine also slowly walked out of the crowd and greeted Zhou Yang excitedly......
"Jinyiwei" never invited them, but they still came!
Feng Kai's heart was trembling in the depths, and his gratitude was beyond words, he could only shake hands with everyone one by one and say words of thanks.
The premiere screening room was full of people, and some of the people who came in later could only stand and watch the movie.
The lively screening hall made Feng Kai feel both happy and nervous.
After the movie started, he didn't even dare to look at the reactions of the critics and fans around him, for fear of hearing something bad, or shaking his head and sighing.
The movie "Jin Yiwei" is too important to him, it is a movie that he has left behind and started all over again.
Every fragment and every detail in this is his painstaking efforts......
Also nervous are Liu Tingting, Chen Shuangbao, Zhao Zhen and others not far away.
They are all marginal supporting roles in "The Bottom of the Mine" and "The Crow", but in "Jinyiwei", they play a very important role, especially Zhao Zhen, when the movie began to play, his heart almost hanged.
The only one who is not worried about "Jinyiwei" is Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang has great confidence in Feng Kai.
In the past year or so, Zhou Yang has come into contact with many directors and watched many movies in this world in his spare time......
When he was no longer the layman, and when he looked back on the filming of "Mine Bottom" again, Zhou Yang still felt that Feng Kai's basic skills were solid.
The movie "Jin Yiwei" is basically similar to the original world of "Embroidered Spring Knife", both of which are martial arts stories of joys and sorrows in the chaotic world at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
When filming "The Crow", Feng Kai was trained by Wang Shuai a lot, and he was tortured to death many times.
Of course, the results of the training are very effective, and the opening scene of "Jin Yiwei" renders a massacre that makes grief and anger at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with a brutal realistic style, and opens the curtain of the movie with a bloody death.
The camera is very full of emotions, pulling Zhou Yang into that desperate world, and using a unique storytelling method, coupled with hearty sword fighting, to attract the attention of all audiences.
They had a great time watching!
They suddenly realized that this low-budget martial arts film actually made a unique style different from "Hero"!
Especially Zhao Zhen!
This black-hearted boss in "The Bottom of the Mine" and the heroine's old father in "The Crow" are both fleeting marginal characters, but in "Jinyiwei", he suddenly became a ruffian prodigal son again, and he was full of personal charm.
"Who is my father-in-law going to kill?"
"Beizhen Fusi Banner Officer Jing Ming!"
"Who? Doesn't my father-in-law know that he is my junior brother? ”
"Do people like you care about that?"
"Father-in-law, you misunderstood, this person is my favorite dear relatives and friends, siblings!"
"You've got to add money!"
“……”
The overall tone of the story of "Jin Yiwei" is serious but heavy, and it has been telling the rivers and lakes of the late Ming Dynasty in a depressive way from the first act.
Many fans are sad and angry when they see it, but they have nowhere to release it.
However, when Zhao Zhen's role appeared, there was a moment of astonishment in the originally silent screening hall.
Zhao Zhen's acting skills are superb, he is shocked, sad and desperate, and then his expression begins to become playful......
In just a few simple dialogues, under Zhao Zhen's interpretation, the characters began to become flesh and blood.
This performance dilutes the heaviness and depression in the hearts of fans and allows them to breathe their emotions......
Someone couldn't help but start laughing "poof".
Back!
Thanks to this short plot and elite acting skills, some film critics began to pay attention to Zhao Zhen, an actor who once came out of "Mine Bottom......
Of course......
Several foreign film critics were embarrassed.
"Jin Yiwei" has no subtitles, they can't understand what these people are saying, they just think that these people perform very well, the picture is not bad, especially the fight is quite hearty......
Other?
They were confused.
China has Chinese culture, and some movies can be popular in China, but they may not be popular abroad.
"Hero" is awesome, but what really makes "Hero" awesome is never the plot, fans can't understand what Qin Shi Huang, what assassination Qin, what thoughts, they only know that the special effects are amazing, and the fight is as beautiful as a painting.
Other?
Most of the others they don't understand!
It's not just that the words can't be understood, it's also a lack of cultural scarcity and differences.
…………………………
"I firmly oppose Zhou Yang joining the Directors Guild."
"Why did we invite him, and what else do we have to say to him as an assistant director!"
"Why is he? Why is this kind of person who has no elders? ”
"I look at Zhou Yilin, Director Zhou's knees are weak, and I am scared by the name of an Oscar!"
"He just won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, does this award matter at the Oscars? No, it's not even leftovers at the Oscars! ”
"He really thinks he's a character."
"Huh! And ......"
"He just relied on scandalizing Lao Mei, inciting internal contradictions in Lao Mei, and using this to ascend to power! Who wouldn't shoot this kind of shoddy behavior? My "Mechanical Man", Director Cao, you have also seen the pre-sale ticket results, on the box office, on popularity, on plot and strength, I am definitely stronger than "Chainsaw" I don't know how many times, and I am one of the few Chinese blockbusters that export the old United States, it is definitely more meaningful than "Chainsaw", Oscar, I can also apply for the Oscar, and I am also nominated for the Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Award! ”
"If you have to choose an assistant director among the younger generation, I will definitely disagree with him!"
“……”
At the internal meeting of the Directors Guild, Django looked at the invitation letter of the Directors Guild with a grim face.
He looked so excited that he almost slapped the table.
He took out nearly 23 million advance tickets for "Cyborg", and even showed the amazing popularity on the Internet.
Zhou Yilin still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be embarrassed.
The rest of the directors Cao Bangguo, Sun An and others also shook their heads, and they were very dissatisfied with Zhou Yilin's good advocacy and running to the airport to meet Zhou Yang.
Two hours later......
The meeting is finally over.
After it was over, Django still had a hint of personal emotion, as if he had seen something clearly, and he didn't even respect Zhou Yilin so much.
But......
Not long after he got in the car, he received a phone call.
"What? What do you tell me? The popularity of the movie "Jin Yiwei" suddenly soared? ”
"Advance tickets also sold out shortly after the premiere?"
"Wait, if I'm not mistaken, "Jin Yiwei" is Feng Kai's movie, right? Isn't that movie cool? ”
“……”
Django's expression became solemn.
It was already afternoon when he returned to the company, and after seeing the data of all aspects of "Jinyiwei" that premiered in the afternoon, as well as the gradually rising praise, his expression instantly became unbelievable.
After he saw Zhou Yang coming back from the Oscars, he ran non-stop to the premiere of "Jinyiwei".
He saw that the ordinary pre-sale box office of "Jinyiwei" was sold out.
He also saw that hot search terms such as "Jinyiwei script", "Oscar Best Screenwriter" and "Zhou Yang" appeared on the hot search on Weibo.
These hot search words have completely overshadowed the "Cyborg" that was still vigorous in the morning......
