"Director Wu, the idea is profound, it's really a good movie."

"It's so well shot!"

"It's too wasteful for "Dream Chaser" to be shortlisted for the newcomer unit, and it is enough to register for the main competition unit."

In the midst of praise, Wu Xiaofei took the stage again with a group of film creators, waving to the audience with a smile on his face to express his gratitude.

He soon noticed that there were many empty seats in the back rows, and compared to the full seats at the beginning of the screening, it was clear that some people had left the venue early.

But he didn't care.

It can even be said that the current situation is intentional for him.

Wu Xiaofei feels that "Dream Chaser" is very in-depth, which is completely different from ordinary commercial popcorn films, so it is normal to have difficulty appreciating it, and people who do not have the ability to appreciate art can't understand this movie.

For example, in the series of fast-switching shots at the beginning of the movie, he deliberately cut off the connection between time and space, and brought people a psychological shock through the sense of separation between different scenes.

Another example is the more exaggerated performances of the actors, which is also what he strongly requires the actors to do when performing, in order to use drama-style exaggerated performances to amplify the dramatic conflicts and characters' emotions, and mobilize the audience's attention to the greatest extent.

Wu Xiaofei thinks that he has made a groundbreaking film, so that some viewers can't accept it, which is normal.

Those who can't cross the threshold of watching movies are not his target audience in the first place, as long as people who really understand movies can stay.

Besides, looking at it like this, there are only a few people who leave the scene after all, and most of them still enjoy this movie, otherwise they wouldn't have applauded so enthusiastically.

Thinking of this, the smile on Wu Xiaofei's face became brighter, and he began to be interviewed by reporters.

"Director Wu, I heard that the script of "Dream Chaser" was completed by you personally, how did you come up with the inspiration?"

"Director Wu, "Dream Chaser" has been nominated for many awards, are you confident of winning the award?"

Seeing reporters surrounding Wu Xiaofei and competing to ask questions, Han Jianchuan, who was sitting in the first row, was a little silent, and the expression on his face didn't seem to be very good.

"Manager Han, congratulations, Huanyu Film and Television has cast another good movie!"

"Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog, Director Wu is terrifying, and there is another rising star in the film industry."

""Dream Chaser" is scheduled for July, and this summer file seems to be going to be lively."

Listening to the publisher complimenting and congratulating himself beside him, Han Jianchuan felt like eating a fly, and he felt an indescribable feeling of nausea.

As the manager of the distribution department of Huanyu Film and Television, he came today to build momentum for "Dream Chaser", and the distributor's response was so enthusiastic, he should have been happy.

But being promoted to a managerial position in a large company like Huanyu, how could he not see everyone's duplicity.

If the publishers were really as optimistic about "Dream Chaser" as they said they were, I am afraid they would have pulled him to discuss foreign copyrights a long time ago.

It's just that these people are all talking lively, but they don't have any actual actions, they are all sloppy there, and there is not even a person who really asks the price.

What level does "Dream Chaser" have, Han Jianchuan, who has participated in the internal film viewing meeting, has long been clear.

It can even be said that in addition to director Wu Xiaofei, the senior management of Huanyu Film and Television knows very well that this is undoubtedly a bad movie.

But a bad movie is a bad movie, it doesn't mean that there is no commercial value, for the name of Wu Shaolin's producer, coupled with the publicity heat in the early stage of the film, he thought that after the first screening, he would be able to sell the screening rights of several countries.

I didn't expect the actual situation to be so bleak.

Han Jianchuan barely squeezed out a few smiles, said a few polite words to the surrounding film merchants, and then hurriedly left the screening site.

"Eh, Manager Han."

Wu Xiaofei on the stage noticed his back leaving, and wanted to stop him, after all, there will be a screening celebration party to be held, without this distribution manager of Huanyu Film and Television, the celebration will inevitably lose a few points.

But Han Jianchuan was in a hurry, and soon walked away, Wu Xiaofei was being interviewed by a group of reporters, and he gave up when he saw this.

Han Jianchuan, who drove away, received a call from President Xu Dong on the road.

"Manager Han, the screening of "Dream Chaser" should be over, how is the situation?"

Faced with the inquiry of the chairman and president of the company, Han Jianchuan did not dare to tell the truth, and covered up: "Mr. Xu, the screening situation is not bad, and the audience's response is still relatively enthusiastic." ”

Xu Dong knew that something was wrong when he heard it, and interrupted: "Okay, let's tell the truth, what is the situation of the screening, how many copyrights have been sold?" ”

"Mr. Xu, the situation is not very good."

Han Jianchuan told the truth, "In addition to the reporters and film critics we invited, as well as film companies, most of the ordinary audiences who bought tickets for the exhibition left the venue early. In terms of copyright, none of them were sold. ”

There was a silence on the phone.

Xu Dong on the other end of the phone only felt a little headache, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He also knows that with the actual quality of "Dream Chaser", Han Jianchuan is not to blame for this kind of result, and this project is led by him, and now that something is wrong, he must take care of the emotions of the company's top management, and he can't scold his subordinates casually, otherwise he will shirk responsibility.

After being silent for a moment, Xu Dongcai frowned and said, "Now we must hide the actual situation, and we must not let bad reviews appear on the Internet." ”

Han Jianchuan agreed: "I know Mr. Xu, I will immediately contact the water army and ask them to cooperate with reporters and film critics to build the momentum of "Dream Chaser". ”

Xu Dong continued: "Also, in the next few screenings, try to arrange our own people, don't let the screening tickets flow out too much." ”

"Well, I see."

"By the way, what did Zhang Zhan say over there?"

Hearing this, Han Jianchuan was embarrassed: "Mr. Xu, Zhang Zhan doesn't eat hard and soft, and his attitude is very tough, saying that it is okay to nominate it, but it is absolutely not okay to present awards." I bypassed him and communicated with the organizing committee, and it was fine at first, but after watching the movie, they refused to let go of anything. ”

Everything went wrong, Xu Dong endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and said: "They cherish feathers, normal." ”

Han Jianchuan said tentatively: "Then Mr. Xu, do I want to go further." ”

"No need, do more and make more mistakes and less mistakes, if you don't get the award, forget it, you can maintain the current publicity heat."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

"I've got a meeting to go, that's all."

The phone then hangs up.

Han Jianchuan couldn't help but shake his head and threw his phone aside.

If "Dream Chaser" had followed the process at the beginning of the project, there would have been no such things as it is now, the president's decision-making was wrong, and in the end it was their subordinates who were busy before and after.
