Chapter 45: Movie Premiere (Part II)
"Video? What video? β
The host was stunned and looked at the main creative team of the film in the front row of the viewing seat.
Obviously, he doesn't use the Internet very often.
"Hey, what do people ask you about?"
Yang Mi smiled evilly and pushed her elbow against Qin Muchu on the side.
Of course she knew what the video was referring to.
"The Beginning of All Evil" she watched it many times, and the wheezing sound at the beginning of the video was hers.
In fact, it was just her emotional voice in the moot court, and the sound was not so loud in the movie, but it was amplified by Qin Muchu intentionally or unintentionally in the video, so it looked very ......
Qin Muchu ignored Yang Mi, glared at her and then shrank his head as a turtle.
Jiang Wen next to him was curious and asked:
"What video?"
He also doesn't go online.
"Nothing ......"
Qin Muchu dealt with it casually.
"That's ...... him"
Yang Mi didn't help Qin Muchu cover it up at all, and said that Qin Muchu had made an unscrupulous movie promotional video.
After Jiang Wen heard this, his face was suddenly full of wrinkles, and his big hand kept patting Qin Muchu's shoulder.
"Fortunately, Lao Tzu knew you early, otherwise if you become a paparazzi, we won't have a life in this circle!"
But no, Qin Muchu has the toughness, he can follow Jiang Wen for half a month without saying a word, and he will blind the title, he has the two most important talents of the paparazzi.
Qin Muchu refused to accept Jiang Wen's "affirmation" and directly said:
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not me, I don't know."
Jiang Wen even felt that Qin Muchu was suitable for being a paparazzi.
"Shamelessness" is also one of the necessary conditions for the success of the paparazzi.
"That, Director Qin, do you have any response to this classmate's question on behalf of the crew?"
The host didn't know what the video was, so he could only throw the question to Qin Muchu.
As the biggest person in charge of the crew, the director should have an understanding of things related to the movie.
Qin Muchu saw that he had been named, and it was not good to pretend to be a turtle anymore, so he could only stand up and take the microphone handed over by the staff with a reluctant face.
Clearing his throat, he looked at the students behind the viewing seats:
"I've also seen videos on the Internet. However, who released the specific video, our crew doesn't know much about it. β
Qin Muchu's answer obviously couldn't fool people.
At least Zhang Kunming, who was the only one among his classmates who grabbed the premiere ticket, shouldered the expectations of his classmates, and was given the responsibility to find the creator of "The Beginning of All Evil", did not believe it.
He did not give up and asked:
"So how do you interpret the movie clips in the video? As far as I know, the crew hasn't released any clips from the film. β
"Well, there must have been a hacker who hacked into my computer, stole the original movie, and posted the clip online!
For such illegal acts, our crew will definitely call the police and bring the criminals to justice! β
Qin Muchu's voice became louder and louder, and at the end, he swung his fist heavily, with a look of "I am not in the same place".
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
Qin Muchu thought to himself.
By the way, he used his feet to slap Jiang Wen and Yang Mi on both sides who knew the truth and were about to laugh.
Qin Muchu's voice was so sincere, Zhang Kunming believed it...... There are ghosts.
I wanted to say something, but the host over there had already asked him to sit down, saying that he would also give other viewers a chance to ask questions.
There was no way, Zhang Kunming could only return the microphone and sit down stupidly.
As soon as he sat down, he immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a group text message.
"There is an inner ghost, termination...... No, the enemy is cunning and runs the train with his mouth full. But I already have a preliminary suspicion, the director has thick eyebrows and big eyes, not like a good person! overοΌ β
"Roger! overοΌ β
β¦β¦
"Roger, over!" x50
β¦β¦
Qin Muchu saw that the host stopped the "Runner" and continued to ask questions, and silently praised him in his heart.
The microphone was couriered to another person.
Middle-aged, semi-bald.
Seeing this appearance, Qin Muchu was immediately half relieved.
This looks like he should have passed the age of "rushing".
"Director Qin, hello, I am a reporter from "Southern Entertainment", as far as I know, it only took about three months for this movie to be released from the project to the present, and the shooting time is less than a month, right?"
"Yes, it took 25 days to shoot and 14 days in post-production."
Qin Muchu calculated the time.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the screening room.
Even many invited CEOs and celebrities have turned their eyes sideways.
"So the movie was made in just 39 days?"
The reporter's eyes lit up and he continued to ask.
"Without pre-work, that's right."
Qin Muchu replied honestly.
The chatter in the screening room became louder.
The audience exchanged words with their companions.
Most of them are not here for movies, and they are basically young men and women.
During the May Day holiday, I watched a movie with my girlfriend in the middle of the night, and then it was too late and I couldn't go home, so I could only reluctantly make it difficult for me......
When I walked to the cinema, I happened to see a movie premiere, and I heard that many celebrities in the entertainment industry would come, so I bought a ticket to come in with the intention of watching the excitement.
It's not so much about watching a movie, it's about spending a movie ticket to see the stars up close.
Although the celebrities are sitting a little farther away from them, it is much closer than watching on TV.
Maybe you'll be lucky enough to get two autographs.
I didn't expect the premiere of this movie to be very beautiful, and there were many big names, but the shooting time is so short, can a good movie be released?
Don't pour yourself a mouthful of it at night...... It's disgusting to think about.
Not only the audience thinks so, but many celebrities also have this idea, and they basically come here today to save Jiang Wen's face.
After the movie is released for a while, the reporter will talk about good things and sell well when he interviews, maybe there will be a chance for cooperation in the future.
But if it's really a big bad movie that doesn't make sense, then it's hard to say good things.
After all, you can't take advantage of your reputation just because you sell well.
"Quiet, can you please be quiet?"
The host looked at the scene where the discussion had gradually gotten out of control, and hurriedly came out to control the scene.
The scene gradually quieted down.
"I want to ask Director Qin, how young are you ...... you make in such a short period of time?"
"I'm sorry, sir, you've already asked two questions, so let's give someone else a chance to ask them."
The host heard that the reporter was not good, and the audience was talking so loudly just now that he could hear what he said clearly, so he hurriedly interrupted the reporter's question, afraid that Qin Muchu would be embarrassed.
He is the host of the premiere, and he is not an entertainment gossip show, otherwise he is happy to ask reporters sharp questions, which is a topic.
But now the money for the premiere is paid by the crew, who is the father of the gold owner, of course, who is biased.
"Wait a minute, no, let him ask."
Just when the staff was about to take away the reporter's microphone, Qin Muchu opened his mouth.
The tone was calm and stopped the staff.
"Director Qin, this is not good......"
The host hesitated and secretly gave Qin Muchu a look, he thought that Qin Muchu didn't realize that the reporter's question was ill-intentioned.
"It's okay, let him ask."
Qin Muchu was resolute.
The staff had no choice but to withdraw the hand holding the reporter's microphone.
The reporter looked happy, but he didn't expect that there was a stunned young man like Qin Muchu, and he was afraid that he would be stopped by others again if he asked questions, so he hurriedly asked:
"Director Qin has made a movie in such a short time, can he guarantee the quality of the movie?"
After speaking, he reminded the photographer next to him to stare at Qin Muchu with his camera, if Qin Muchu broke his defense, it would be a news material.
The others in the screening hall also looked at Qin Muchu, wanting to see how he answered this question.
Is it anger or patience to explain?
However, Qin Muchu asked a question that no one expected, only to see him look puzzled:
"Are you in a hurry?"
What do you mean?
Not only the reporters were stunned, but others were also confused.
I don't understand why Qin Muchu suddenly brought the topic here.
"Well, it's not in a hurry, it's okay......"
The reporter hesitated, a little confused about Qin Muchu's path.
"Then there are still ten minutes before the movie starts, don't you know how the quality of the movie is when you watch it?"
β¦β¦
That's right, the movie is about to be released, don't you know if the quality is good or not?
There was silence for a second, and then the reporter felt that the people around him looked at him like they were looking at fools.
The old face couldn't help but blush, and it was rare to feel embarrassed after many years in the industry, usually it was his questions that embarrassed the star.
I didn't expect to hit the swallow all day long, and today let the swallow peck the eyes.
"Okay, thank you Director Qin for your answer."
The reporter hurriedly returned the microphone and sat down.
Only then did I feel that I was staring at myself a little less.
The insiders who attended the premiere secretly sighed that Qin Muchu looked young, but it was not simple, and the problem was resolved in two sentences, and the reporter also fought back.
Although this skill is not profound, it is not very simple to do.
Because standing in front of the spotlight for an interview is completely different from chatting in private, many people who are new to the industry will even be so nervous that their brains will go blank.
"Good job, these reporters know a fart movie! The shooting time is long and the quality is good, so just find a Wang Ba to be the director, who can consume it? β
Jiang Wen was very unhappy with these troubles.
Just now he wanted to stand up and speak for Qin Muchu, but he was held down by Qin Muchu.
"Hey, that's really good, Wang Bapai, grandpa, etc., grandson look."
Qin Muchu smiled.
Jiang Wen was also amused.
smiled and suddenly felt that something was wrong,
"Then are you the eighth king or the grandson?"
Qin Muchu smiled:
"I'm the ...... I'm waiting for"
"You're ......"
Jiang Wen was just about to start talking about the quintessence of the country, when another questioner stood up.
This time it was a young girl who looked soft and weak.
I didn't seem to expect to be selected, and I was a little embarrassed to ask questions with the microphone.
"I want to ask the director, what kind of movie is this movie?"
As soon as the microphone was put down, the girl hurriedly raised it as if she remembered something:
"I'm not in a hurry, and I know that the movie is about to be released, so I'm just curious......"
This is just now the reporter was scolded and left a shadow on the girl, for fear that Qin Muchu would also give her a sentence, "Are you in a hurry?" When the time comes, I won't be able to get off the stage.
The other viewers also guessed the girl's thoughts, and they all laughed out loud.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."
Qin Muchu stood up.
The screening room was dimly lit, but the girl was so thin-skinned that she could see that her face had turned red into an apple.
"It's a comedy, it's funny, and it's suitable for couples or families to watch together."
Qin Muchu looked at the boy holding her hand next to her sister and smiled.
"Thank you, Director."
The girl got a reply, and quickly stuffed the microphone to the staff, and sat down with her hot face covered.
"Very cute girl, thank you Director Qin for your answer, the film is about to be broadcast, I believe this comedy will definitely make everyone happy and have a happy night!"
The moderator saw that the time was almost up, and also ended the question session.
After speaking, he walked off the stage, and after a while, the big movie screen was lit up, and the familiar golden movie dragon logo appeared.
The cinema fell silent and the movie began.
A golden package was placed on the coffee table, Yang Mi's eyes were glazed, and Chen Daomin, who was wearing a police uniform, sat on the sofa with a cup of tea.
"It was hard to get it, because it was a very sensitive case at the time." Chen Daomin said.
Yang Mi opened the package, and inside was a thick pile of documents about a certain case.
β¦β¦
"Wow, is there still Chen Daomin involved? Is he the main character? β
There are viewers whispering below.
β¦β¦
"Are you going to find them tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Say hello to me and tell them to come to me when they're available." Chen Daomin said.
Suddenly he laughed again and said:
"Forget it, they probably won't come here again."
Yang Mi didn't answer Chen Daomin's words, but looked at him with a grateful smile on her face:
"Thanks, Daddy."
β¦β¦
"Is this a comedy? I don't think the picture and the actors' performances are right, it's not like a comedy. β
Film critic Zhao Wei was a little puzzled.
Put a question mark on the "comedy" of the notebook.
He is not an invited film critic, as a well-known in the film critic world, he is famous for daring to write the truth.
He wrote a film review for last year's "Wu Ji", scolding it for being a bad movie, no logic, no plot, and engaging in some specious things, so it is not as good as "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun".
The film reviews have been recognized by many netizens, and director Chen Kaige is also very angry.
As a result, many movies dare not invite Zhao Wei to premiere again, for fear that he will spray his own movies.
Today, he came to the premiere of Qin Muchu's movie because he heard that an eighteen-year-old child directed a movie, and Jiang Wen also held a premiere for him with great fanfare.
Half of the circle was invited to cheer.
Originally, Zhao Wei still admired Jiang Wen a lot, thinking that he was a thoughtful and artistic director, and he dared to speak and do.
But I didn't expect Jiang Wen to start to join the circle now, and even took the initiative to "do evil".
Eighteen-year-old children becoming directors is simply child's play, and they are insulting the industry!
He just wants to see what Qin Muchu has filmed today, if it is a bad movie, he will never be stingy with his pen and ink, and give Qin Muchu a "headache"!
By the way, he scolded Jiang Wen again.
The film continues.
Zhao Wei gradually sat up straight.
The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Although the plot has not yet unfolded, a few simple shots made Zhao Wei see that it was not simple.
The shot is the director's language.
Snowing heavily, Yang Mi walked out of the prison, and the camera was shot outside the barbed wire, slowly becoming clear from blur.
Yang Mi looked at the white expanse of the world, not far away was a high fence and a watchtower, in the snow, a yellow balloon tied to the wall fluttered in the wind.
This yellow color is the only difference between the snow day and the ground.
Yang Mi raised her head and looked at the balloon, her eyes were complex and full of memories, and with some sadness, a smile slowly appeared.
At this time, a few big words slowly appeared on the screen - the gift of room seven.
"A dreamy filter, a beautiful and sad picture."
Zhao Wei began to get a little serious.
From these shots, it can be seen that the director's skills are not shallow, and the tone of the movie was set at once.
The actors' acting skills are also online, and the director's meaning is clearly expressed.
Just, this is a comedy?
Zhao Wei suppressed his doubts, and his mentality slowly changed from the beginning of the thorns.
β¦β¦
"You have wide eyebrows, so there will be many brothers and sisters."
"But I'm an only child."
A middle-aged man wearing a Taoist hat, but wearing a Buddhist bead around his neck, who looked nondescript, told Yang Mi's fortune, but Yang Mi didn't give face at all, and directly pierced it.
The man was a little annoyed and angry, and said stiffly:
"So you are a greedy person who wants to dominate the love of your parents, so you were born in a family without sisters and brothers, and you must be very lonely!"
"Not at all."
The man couldn't hold back, so he grabbed the rice from the stove angrily, stuffed it into his mouth, and sprinkled a handful on the face of the snickering man on the side.
"Then your current boyfriend is a bad guy and has to break up!"
It seems that the man must let Yang Mi have a bad time.
"But I don't have a boyfriend."
At this time, the man completely broke the defense, picked up the chopsticks and smashed the man on the side.
"Didn't you tell me not to arrange things to do in the morning? Bad brother! β
While smashing, he pouted aggrievedly, as if he was going to cry.
The smashed man hurriedly comforted the man like a child.
At this time, everyone could see that the fortune teller seemed to be mentally abnormal.
At this time, three girls dressed up suddenly came in, and the girl at the head opened her mouth and said:
"Dad, give me the money."
The man who was comforting his mentally unhealthy brother glanced up and said helplessly:
"What kind of money, I will only ask for money every day."
Yang Mi looked at the girl, as if she knew her,
"You're Ichiro, aren't you?"
Before the girl could speak, the two little sisters behind her asked:
"Do you know our eldest sister?"
Yang Mi smiled:
"Acquaintance, acquaintance for a long time."
β¦β¦
The picture comes to a church, where the priest played by Zhang Shi is praying with the believers in the church, and the camera is also shown to the man who is making a record on the side.
The church door suddenly opened, and the priest looked at the two men who appeared in the doorway, the same two who had just told fortunes.
"Why are you here?"
The two turned sideways slightly, revealing Yang Mi behind them.
Both the priest and the man who took the note shouted in amazement:
"Ye Su?"
The churchgoers misheard the man's shout of "Jesus" and looked at the door.
Outside the door, Yang Mi stood at the door, surrounded by pure white light, pure like an angel descending on the world......
"Ye Su, Jesus, homonyms and light hint at the inner heart of the characters as well as their personalities."
Zhao Wei silently wrote down a few more strokes.
β¦β¦
The audience didn't think about it so much, especially the girls, they just thought that the picture was so beautiful and looked warm.
It's a bit slow, but it's not boring.
β¦β¦
As the movie plays, the plot gradually unfolds.
When Jiang Wu and Sun Bijuan appeared, everyone realized that these two were the real protagonists.
The title of the movie is "The Gift of Room No. 7", and this "Room No. 7" turned out to be a prison cell!
And the middle-aged men who just appeared were all criminals in Room 7.
"What crime did he commit?"
The priest, who is also the prison boss, asked.
"Seducing a minor."
The man who was going to sit for the priest took the verdict of Jiangsu and read it.
The boss immediately couldn't sit still, walked towards Jiangsu angrily, and slapped him directly.
"Why are you such a piece of trash!"
There is also a chain of contempt in prisons, and crimes against children, women, and the elderly are at the bottom of the line, and they are usually repaired by other prisoners in the prison.
"Keep reading!"
The Boss said.
"Strong women do juvenile crimes!"
The boss was even angrier and hit Jiang Wu viciously.
Jiang Wu, who had an IQ of only a seven-year-old child, didn't know why he was beaten, and he was beaten to the point that he was holding his head and screaming in pain.
Then he was covered with quilts and kicked by other prisoners.
Jiang Wu was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he knelt on the ground, holding his hands high.
The prisoners continued to read the verdict, and each time a crime was pronounced, the prisoners cursed angrily.
In the end, the boss couldn't help it anymore and walked over and wanted to hit him again.
At this time, the verdict read the last:
"First instance, death penalty!"
The old man who walked in front of Jiang Wu was weak and knelt directly on the ground.
He stared blankly at the hand that had slipped Jiang Wu's mouth, and muttered to himself:
"What did I just do......"
There is an unspoken rule in prison that a condemned prisoner cannot be provoked.
Because they are destined to die, they don't care about anything, and no one dares to provoke them, just for fear of being pulled by them.
Thinking that I'm going to die anyway, I might as well find a chance to kill you too.
"Haha, these prisoners are so funny......"
The audience burst out laughing.
Zhao Wei saw the deep meaning of such a design and wrote something in his notebook.
The plot is still advancing, Jiang Wu and the prisoners get along with each other, the young Li Yesu was sent to prison by mistake, and the criminals put away their vicious looks one by one, changing their methods to make the little girl happy.
The section chief played by Chen Daomin hated and hated Jiang Wu at the beginning, and was willing to help him overturn the case later, and even knew the law and broke the law, and took the initiative to secretly send Li Yesu to prison and reunite with Jiang Wu.
There are many jokes in the middle, and there is a fairy tale of beautiful innocence.
But all the good things ended after the second trial.
Originally, with the help of the section chief and the prisoners, Jiang Wu won the case steadily and could be acquitted.
But in order to protect his daughter, he chose to admit to the crime he did not do, and the death penalty remained unchanged.
"There should be a reversal, and there will be a turnaround in the end."
The audience was pinched up, expecting a miracle to happen.
Even film critic Zhao Wei thinks so.
Although he knew it couldn't be.
The film actually hints at the ending at the beginning.
But he couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of anticipation.
The miracle didn't happen.
The execution of the death penalty was even brought forward.
"Dad, thank you for giving me a good birth."
"Thank you for being Dad's daughter."
As soon as the dialogue between the father and daughter came out, many middle-aged viewers were quite touched.
At their age, mothers and fathers can best understand the feelings that fathers can give to their daughters.
Even Zhao Wei took off his glasses and wiped his wet eyes.
Although the young people are not parents, they are children, and they are also moved, and tears flow unconsciously.
Jiang Wu was taken away for execution, he suddenly broke free from the prison guards, ran back to the prison, hugged his daughter through the iron gate and cried, begging everyone to save him, because he was worried that his daughter would have no one to take care of him.
β¦β¦
"Didn't you say comedy? Deceitful! Why don't you let the father and daughter escape in a hot air balloon, it's too bad! β
The girl who asked Qin Muchu what type of movie it was before cried so much that she was so choked that she could barely speak.
Holding her boyfriend on the side and complaining that Qin Muchu didn't do anything, she suddenly felt a few drops of water fall on her face, only to find that her boyfriend was also in tears.
found that his girlfriend was looking at him, and her boyfriend immediately covered her eyes and said forcefully:
"It's okay, it's funny, but the director is really not human, and he actually said it was a comedy."
"Are you crying?"
"Absolutely not, this is a frame-up, I want to see my lawyer!"
β¦β¦
The scene returns to the outside of the prison.
It's still snowing heavily, just like at the beginning of the movie.
Yang Mi looked at the prison, this time she had already overturned the case for her father in the mock court.
A hot air balloon slowly flew into the distance, and Jiang Wu and Sun Bijuan above smiled and waved at Yang Mi.
"Ye Su, Dad loves you, you have to live a good life!" Jiang Wu shouted on the hot air balloon.
Yang Mi looked at the hot air balloon in the distance, tears overflowing her eyes......
The screen goes black, and a few seconds later the subtitles appear, and the movie ends.
"It's a good movie, a good story!"
Jiang Wen patted Qin Muchu on the shoulder and said with emotion.
His daughter is about the same age as the girl in the movie.
He's the father who can best appreciate the deep fatherly love in the movie, even if that father is mentally retarded.
"Really? That's good. β
Qin Muchu smiled.
"I didn't expect you kid to really hold back a big one." Jiang Wen tsk.
"Is it really that good?" Qin Muchu asked.
At this moment, the screening room suddenly burst into warm applause.
Qin Muchu looked back, and it turned out that the audience spontaneously stood up and applauded the movie.
"It's that good!"
Jiang Wen also stood up and applauded Qin Muchu with a smile.
(Refresh it and look at it again, it's too late, you can only send it first, it's being modified)
