Chapter 175 The Great Wall, Premiere
Where there are people, there will be comparisons, and naturally there will be seniority!
There are many films participating in the Cannes Film Festival, and more than 1,000 films are participating in the competition every year.
This year this number doubled again to 2,000 units!
How is it possible that so many films are all screened for eleven days.
Therefore, the official also has its own screening method.
First of all, those movies that are the favorites to win the championship, they naturally have the right to screen.
There are also those official audits, which will issue invitations to exhibit.
For example, when Du Qifeng on Earth was filming "Big Event", the Organizing Committee of the Cannes Film Festival went to Xiangjiang to watch the filming and tidbits of the movie.
The organizing committee invited Du Qifeng to participate in the competition, but unfortunately when the production of this film was completed, he had missed the registration time.
Therefore, the organizing committee once again invited Du Qifeng to participate in the screening for the premiere of "Big Event"!
Naturally, films with such official invitations can participate in the screening.
There are also some big productions that have a high international reputation, just like Zhang's "The Great Wall"!
Zhang is a director who is already well-known abroad, and this movie is a big-budget film cooperated by China and the beautiful country.
Therefore, it is only natural that "The Great Wall" will get the right to be screened!
Finally, there is another kind of film that has the right to be screened, that is, the kind of film that is very artistic and has special significance for the development of film.
It's the kind of art film that academics like!
Although Zhou Chen doesn't know how thrillers like "Chasing the Murderer" are classified into the field of art films, it is already very good to be able to participate in the screening.
The most important thing is that it is still on the third day of the screening!
Even though it's night, it's still a lot of fun!
Early in the morning of the third day, there was a knock on Zhou Chen's door.
"Zhou Chen, come out soon! Go to the exhibition! ”
Peng Fa's shout woke Zhou Chen up through the crack in the door.
Smack!
The door opened, revealing Peng Fa and Liu Qingyun.
Zhou Chen was a little helpless, for the first two days, they watched movies every day.
The movies of these two days are basically the favorites to win the championship, and the quality is extremely good.
But no matter how good a movie is, you can't watch it all the time.
People are aesthetically fatigued.
Watching seven or eight movies a day has almost exhausted Zhou Chen's patience.
"Can't you just get some rest and get ready for the premiere in the evening?"
"No way!"
Peng Fa refused without even thinking about it.
"The premiere will be Zhang's "The Great Wall" later! People have sent all the tickets, if we don't go, it won't seem like we're timid! ”
As he spoke, he showed the ticket in his hand.
Early in the morning, Zhang asked people to send the tickets over, and warmly invited them to attend the premiere, isn't this a provocation!
If it was before, Peng Fa didn't care so much about not going home, but in the past two days, after being provoked by Zhu Haining one after another, he really had to fight for this breath!
Zhou Chen was also helpless and took the ticket in the other party's hand.
"I'll change my clothes!"
......
After a while, the three of them came to the screening room where they watched "The Great Wall".
Everywhere was crowded with reporters, many of whom had to stand in the aisles because of the lack of seats.
Zhou Chen was a little surprised.
The screening hall of "The Great Wall" is Hall 2, which is the largest exhibition hall except for Hall 1, which can seat at least 1,000 people!
"Zhang's appeal is still strong!"
Peng Fa pouted on the side.
"His appeal is strong at home, but not so powerful abroad!"
"I think it's the main actor!"
The actor of "The Great Wall" is the movie star of Hollywood, Mark Munda, who has starred in many famous movies.
"Spy" and "Catcher" are all world-class movies.
Most Europeans and Americans are arrogant and look down on the Chinese.
Therefore, it is clearly more likely that these foreign journalists will be courting the movie star.
The three of them found their own position and did it, not to mention, the position given by Zhang is still very good.
Facing the screen, this is definitely the best place to watch the movie.
And Zhang has done a lot more ahead, although it is not the best viewing position, but it reflects their status as the protagonist.
Next to him sat a group of leading actors.
Liu Tianwang, Jing Tian, Mark Munda, and Zhu Haining and other traffic stars.
In addition to these people, there are many domestic and foreign movie stars who came to cheer.
This scene is unprecedented.
Zhou Chen's previous movie premieres were basically attended by some of the leading actors' friends, and it was rare to see this kind of big-name scene.
This is the difference between international directors!
"Who are those people?"
Zhou Chen pointed to the foreigner who had a good conversation with Zhang.
Peng waved his hair for a moment before saying:
"It should be the producer! Didn't this movie be produced by the beautiful country, these people should have come to sell the copyright. ”
In fact, when it comes to selling copyrights, it's really not the director's turn to have the final say.
The director makes the film, and the copyright belongs to the producer.
Therefore, those who come to talk about the copyright of "The Great Wall" are all beautiful Chinese people who invest in movies.
Since this is very strange, if the copyright has nothing to do with the director, why does he work so hard to promote?
Generally, directors are also paid for making movies, and the amount of money for a film has been set before filming.
The box office has nothing to do with him!
But the box office may have nothing to do with the director, but fame has something to do with him.
Besides, a big director like Zhang, he has the right to share.
Money and fame, these two aspects exist, aren't they enough for him to work hard to promote?
Zhou Chen looked at the two
When the time came, the lights in the theater went dark.
Pieces of text began to appear on the screen, telling the story of the Great Wall.
Then the camera cuts to the Gobi.
"The Great Wall" is indeed a big production, every scene is not small, and it is well-made.
Especially the special effects, when the monster came out, Zhou Chen was a little surprised.
No wonder the propaganda says that Zhang spent more than ten months on the production of this monster.
It's still quite exquisite!
"Zhang's skills are still solid, the camera doesn't have to say!"
Even though it was a competitive relationship, Peng Fa still issued a compliment.
Zhang is a photographer, and his control of the lens is quite in place.
But what makes Peng Fa even more envious is that the other party is so rich that he can spend so much on special effects.
"I don't know, when will I have such a big investment~"
He also wants to do such special effects!
The foreigners present also looked very surprised.
"Huaxia's special effects have developed to this extent?"
"I remember the last time I saw Huaxia's special effects, it was like watching a cartoon."
"I think it should be the reason for cooperating with Haolaiwu, Huaxia still can't make this kind of special effects by himself."
