Chapter Seventy-Three: The premiere of "A Hundred Years of Harmony".
Li Bingbing pondered for a long time, but failed to answer Mu Rong's question.
After asking, Mu Rong put the question behind him, and he was helping Du Qifeng to arrange the premiere of "A Hundred Years of Harmony".
"A Hundred Years of Harmony" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, and for the sake of film promotion, Du Qifeng specially designed a premiere.
The so-called premiere is to invite some media reporters, film critics and audiences to watch the movie in advance before the movie is released.
Producers can collect reviews of films from critics and audiences at premieres, curry favor with media reporters, promote films in advance, and canvass for films.
Of course, the purpose of the producer's premiere is generally for the latter.
On the day of the premiere, many people came, and the theater was full.
After the introduction, the main creators of the crew returned to the audience and watched the movie with all the reporters, critics and audiences.
Mu Rong has not seen the finished film, and he is also curious about the movie.
At the beginning, he helped save the scene, and it only took more than a week to get the action scenes, and I don't know what the effect would be when cut out.
The movie began to play, and as soon as the playboy Hong Feihu played by Gu Tsai appeared, it caused laughter from the audience.
He went to the rooftop to persuade his ex-girlfriend Susan who jumped off the building to come down, but it turned out that the negotiators, fire experts, and police officers were all his ex-girlfriends, which made the scene laugh again and again, but he didn't feel disobedient at all.
Gu Zai's face looks like a lot of ex-girlfriends.
Li Bingbing, who was sitting next to Mu Rong, couldn't help but sigh: "This is the audience!" ”
is handsome, and even playing a scumbag will not be hated.
Soon, with the broadcast of the movie, the plot entered the main topic.
This is a love action light comedy, and it will be released during the Spring Festival, which needs to be suitable for all ages, so the plot is arranged more dramatically, and it will look a little naïve.
In Du Qifeng's words, this is called nonsense, which he learned from Zhou Xingchi when he was filming "The Judge of the Dead".
Although the plot is a little naïve, the actors' performances are remarkable, and they are well proportioned, which will not make the audience feel that they are fooling around, but also make the audience have a certain empathy for the characters.
It's not easy enough.
In the first half of the movie, the plot is more comedic.
It wasn't until halfway through the movie that Li Mochou returned to Emei and forced her to compete with her with a heartbroken sword, that the audience was awakened by the dazzling sword moves and realized that this was still an action movie.
When he saw Li Mochou's long sword bent in a half circle and stabbed at the close-up behind the extinction, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the theater.
"Oh! Can it still be like this? ”
"Wow! So handsome! ”
"The soft sword should be shot like this, so that it can be flexible enough!"
"Is it the action of the eighth master? Handsome! ”
"I feel like this fight scene is a bit wasted in this comedy film!"
Listening to the audience's whispered discussions, Mu Rong's mood was a little strange.
It's really nice to feel that something you've worked so hard to be recognized by others.
When filming this martial arts scene, there was no way to use Weiya, so Mu Rong could only think of ways in terms of sword moves and body skills.
In order to show the characteristics of the heart-breaking sword from agility to continuity, and then to decisiveness, he fused the three swordsmanship together, took their strengths, and choreographed a small set of twelve styles along the way.
Then, he extracted the two body techniques from the Taoist footwork and taught them to Zheng Xiuwen and Li Bingbing together.
Creating kung fu routines is nothing to him, but teaching them and helping them achieve an ideal state, Mu Rong still put a lot of effort into it.
Fortunately, the hard work was not in vain, and the editing effect of this scene was very good, and it was also recognized by the audience.
For the first time, Mu Rong felt a sense of happiness that belonged to the creator.
Although he didn't show up, he was the creator of the martial arts scene in this movie, and this movie was also made by him, and he felt very good.
Listening to the audience's admiration, Mu Rong couldn't help but ponder.
When "Dragon Babu" is released, what kind of repercussions will his Murong Fu cause after it is broadcast?
It is not yet known.
However, this movie, which has poured a lot of effort into him, is half the battle.
At least at the premiere, the audience and media reporters present gave positive reviews to the film.
Only some film critics don't buy it, thinking that the plot of this movie is too stupid and has no connotation at all, except for the distinctive and dazzling martial arts scenes, it is just an ordinary movie that is casually amused, and it loses the identity of the first director of Du Qifeng's shootout film.
Regarding the evaluation of film critics, Du Qifeng had already expected it.
The rhythm of his filmmaking was originally like this, making a film that he wanted to make, followed by a commercial film to make money for the company.
This movie is a commercial film that he made to make money, why do you want such profound content?
At the end of the premiere, Gu Tsai and Mu Rong became the biggest winners.
Gu Zai's role of Hong Feihu has a distinct personality and outstanding appearance, and has once again become one of his representative roles.
There are also many people who have turned their attention to the person in charge of the film's martial arts.
Several film critics believe that the martial arts scenes in this drama are the only places where this drama can be mastered.
The whimsical martial arts movements in the play made them think that they were from Chen Xiaodong.
But after seeing the back credits, they realized that the original designer of the martial arts scene of this drama was actually a little-known mainland guy.
After the 90s, the peak of martial arts films has passed.
The action superstars who carried the flag back then are gradually getting old, and the time cycle of Fang Long and Li Lian's outstanding films is getting longer and longer, and the audience has not seen a hearty martial arts movie for a long time.
The martial arts scenes in this movie have given critics a surprise.
When they saw Mu Rongjunxiu's face, the reporters picked up their cameras one after another, and the flashes were connected.
There are many kung fu actors who can play, but there are not many who are handsome.
is a handsome and capable action star, and he is like an open and hanging existence in the circle.
If this martial arts instructor named Mu Rong takes the acting route, his future should be good.
Du Qifeng is very good at being a person, and when he found out that the reporters were very interested in Mu Rong, he took the initiative to introduce Mu Rong to the reporters, and also helped promote the upcoming "Dragon Babu", indicating that Mu Rong played Murong Fu in the play.
Under his introduction, the reporters had a preliminary understanding of Mu Rong.
And when the reporters were curious about whether Mu Rong would further develop in the direction of an action star, Du Qifeng naturally pulled the topic to the filming of "Big Old", and by the way, he also helped the new movie to do a wave of publicity.
A premiere ended perfectly under Du Qifeng's control.
And Mu Rong, together with Gu Zai, made the entertainment headlines of many newspapers and magazines the next day.
This also announced that Mu Rong officially started his initial popularity in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.
