Chapter 282: The One Who Holds Wages for Everyone (Part II)
"Girl, I want to ask, is the premiere of "Inception" held here? Is it the one directed by Qin Muchu? ”
At the ticket office of the theater, a middle-aged man asked the conductor, and a middle-aged woman was standing next to him.
She put her arms around the man, lowered her head, and looked very depressed and tired.
"Yes, right here."
The conductor responded politely.
"Is the film director also in it, it's a small ...... Directed by Qin Muchu. ”
"Yes, the director and the film actors are in there."
The man smiled, patted the woman's arm, then took out his wallet and said to the conductor:
"Please give us two tickets, thank you."
"Well, sir, I'm sorry, the tickets for the premiere were sold out early, and now there are no tickets."
The female conductor smiled professionally apologetically.
If she could buy the premiere ticket, she would have bought it a long time ago, how many stars have just entered, and her eyes are straight.
"No tickets?"
The middle woman, who had not spoken, spoke.
When he raised his head, he showed a pale and haggard face, as if he hadn't rested well for many days.
"That's right, it's true that there are no tickets, and tickets for the premiere will go on sale in March." The conductor patiently explained.
The middle-aged woman was anxious, holding the man's hand, and her voice was trembling:
"What should I do, Lao Zhang, there are no tickets."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll find a way, don't worry, don't worry."
The man hurriedly reassured.
Looking at the conductor, he pleaded:
"Girl, can you be accommodating, we came all the way from Hui Province just to watch this movie, in this way, we don't want to sit, just stand in the back, you can help......"
As he spoke, the man pulled out a few red bills from his wallet, paused, and pulled out all the bills in his wallet, folded them into a small ball, and stuffed them to the conductor.
"Uncle, what are you doing here? There is a monitoring ...... No, uncle, I can't help you! ”
The conductor hurriedly pushed the money back, and reluctantly glanced at the roll of banknotes, estimating that it was almost half a month's salary for her.
Then he faced the man and said helplessly:
"Uncle, you see that I am not a person who can stand the test, if I can help, I will definitely help.
But I really can't do anything about this, even if I let you go here, there are still people guarding the door, and they want to check the ticket. If you don't have a ticket, the staff of the theater won't let you in. ”
Speaking of the last sentence, the conductor's tone was unusually helpless.
The man could tell by looking at the conductor's expression that she wasn't lying.
"What should I do?"
The middle-aged woman was so anxious that she stepped aside, leaning against the wall and gasping.
The man immediately followed, patting the woman on the back,
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll figure it out again."
"Lao Zhang, old man, ......"
The woman looked at the man, her voice choked up.
"I know, I know."
The man nodded repeatedly.
The conductor looked at the two strangely.
As for it?
Didn't you just watch it as a premiere?
Middle-aged people also chase stars?
If my parents were so advanced and trendy, they wouldn't have scolded me every day.
"Uncle, aunt, the movie will be released on April 1st the day after tomorrow, and I can't see what I can watch later." She kindly reminded her.
"Girl, will the director come the day after tomorrow?" The middle-aged man asked with a glimmer of hope.
"Well, this ...... Probably not. The conductor shook his head.
The day after tomorrow, "Inception" will be released all over the world, and the director is also powerless.
The man had expected it, but he was still disappointed when he heard it.
He walked back to the woman and whispered:
"Why don't you contact Xiao Qin and let him ......"
"No way!"
The woman categorically refused,
"If Xiao Qin asks us at that time, what do we say, can we hide it? This child has been smart since he was a child and is more sensitive than others. ”
The man sighed,
"Yes...... But there's no other way, it's all the old man's ......"
"Uncle, auntie, if you really want to go in, maybe I can help."
At this time, suddenly a voice sounded.
Instantly gave the two of them hope.
But when they looked up and saw that it was a teenager, their hopes were dashed.
The woman lowered her head again, and the man forced a smile:
"Thank you, little friend, no need."
Guo Qilin just sat on the sofa outside the theater and listened to the whole process between the two.
Qin Muchu asked him to come out to play the game console, he didn't play, but bought popcorn and grilled sausages and sat there to eat, and while eating, he carefully looked at the fountain pen that Qin Muchu gave him, and couldn't help but be happy.
"I can really take you in, don't lie, my dad is the host inside, and I talked to the director just now, it's Director Qin Muchu."
Seeing the distrust of the two adults, Guo Qilin immediately said.
In order to increase credibility, his father and Qin Muchu also moved out.
"But before I can take you in, you have to prove that you're a good person."
The little fat man still kept an eye on it.
……
"We just watched the trailer, and it was full of shock, which reminded me of our ancestors' sentence 'Who realizes big dreams', that is, I can't see everything in the dream clearly......"
"I didn't lie to you, it's my dad who is talking now, and Qin Muchu and Qin Dao are also sitting there."
Guo Qilin took the middle-aged couple to sneak into the venue through the back door and found a corner.
It's not far from the big screen, but it's a little biased, on the very edge.
"Look, it's Xiao Qin, it's Xiao Qin."
The middle-aged woman pointed to the stage and said to the man.
"Yes, yes, the conductor said he was in there."
"Xiao Qin is so good-looking, he is an adult......"
The woman looked at Qin Muchu, who was dressed in a burgundy suit on the stage and calmly accepted the interview, and her voice suddenly began to choke again.
Guo Qilin is a little strange, these two know Director Qin?
"Thank you, thank you."
The man did not forget the child who brought them in, and took out the roll of banknotes in his pocket that had failed to bribe the conductor before:
"Child, uncle......"
"I don't want it!"
Guo Qilin immediately pushed the banknote back, turned his back and took two steps back.
"If that's the case, then I'll help you for nothing."
His expression was serious, like a little adult.
"You two sit down first, I'll move two stools for you, and you'll sit here in a while, I still have a task."
After speaking, he quickly ran away with a "hum hum".
Guo Degang, who was presiding on the stage, swept to a familiar figure, his eyes were fixed, and he continued to host as if he had nothing to do.
……
"What do you think about this?"
After Jiang Wen listened to what Qin Muchu said about the third master, he did not rush to express his opinion, but asked a rhetorical question.
"What can you think? There are nothing more than two, one good and one bad. Qin Muchu whispered.
Jiang Wen smiled and put his arm around Qin Muchu's shoulder:
"What is good and what is bad?"
"Good to me, bad to him; Bad for him, bad for me. ”
"Which one do you think?"
"I'm leaning towards the former."
Jiang Wen approached Qin Muchu's ears, and his rare voice became smaller:
"That's right, the third master is taking care of you, I'm afraid that you will lose this movie, you know?"
Qin Muchu was also inclined to this idea in his heart.
But he still smiled bitterly:
"Is my movie so unconfident?"
"Nonsense, 100 million US dollars, more than 700 million yuan, this is not publicized, how much did you spend on publicity?" Jiang Wen asked again.
"Inception" is promoted all over the world, and the press release is distributed all over the world, which is not a small expense.
"It's okay, it didn't cost much, it's sponsored by advertisers." Qin Muchu replied.
It is not uncommon to place advertisements in movies, and you can often see some products or close-ups of such and such a company in movies, even if it is only for a second, that is advertising.
There are also manufacturers in "Bullet" who want to advertise, and the liquor factory, in the part of the "Goose City Triumvirate", the manufacturer wants to put their liquor on the table.
The sky-high price was given, but Jiang Wen still refused.
Modern wine appeared in the drama of the Republic of China, and I was afraid that the audience would play.
"Who?"
Jiang Wen asked curiously.
He is not worried that Qin Muchu will affect the quality of the movie because of advertising.
Because at that time, Qin Muchu was the first to refuse the liquor advertisement of "Bullet".
"QQ, there is a contact scene in it, using QQ software, it is a vague chat box, and the sound of "Di Di" is twice. Qin Muchu said.
Jiang Wen nodded, and suddenly said:
"What is QQ?"
“…… Pair circles, play cards can't be? ”
"I see your kid has itchy skin......"
Qin Muchu and Jiang Wen didn't say a word, and suddenly the big screen of the movie lit up, the dragon mark appeared, and the movie began.
The first thing that comes to mind is not the picture, but the sound.
The sound of the waves, tide after tide.
The screen appears.
The waves wash over the reef and splash white.
Then came the sound of children playing, and Downey slowly opened his eyes as he lay on the beach, the sea washing over his body.
The backs of two children in a trance.
……
The plot of the movie unfolded slowly, and everyone at the scene watched the movie quietly.
The so-called insiders look at the doorway, and the laymen look at the excitement.
The average audience frowned, because this movie needs to be watched with full attention, and if you miss it a little, you won't be able to understand the setting, so you can't understand the movie.
And people who work professionally in the film industry, especially directors, are also frowning.
Not because of the content of the plot, but because of the soundtrack, cinematic colors, and editing techniques of this movie.
"Montage."
Zhang Yimou muttered.
"It's a cross montage."
Next to a voice added,
"And the upside-down montage."
Zhang Yimou nodded.
Reversal montage can be simply understood as an interlude or flashback.
Cross montage, on the other hand, is to cross-edit two actions that occur at the same time and in different spaces.
For example, in criminal investigation dramas, there are often bad guys who want to kill good guys, and the knives are raised, and suddenly the picture cuts to the bottom passage of the building on the other side, and the police rush up desperately with guns.
That's when there's a sense of tension.
Did the good guy die? Will the police come to first aid people?
This is called cross-montage, which is used to construct suspense and create tension.
"Inception" makes extensive use of this editing technique, and the camera constantly shifts between the layers of dreams.
Plus the flashback at the beginning.
The direct suspense is full, and everyone is looking forward to the next scene.
This editing technique is easy to say, but it is not easy to use.
It is not easy for a movie to explain the story of a space, let alone crossover.
Especially if a large number of uses and is not cut well, not only will it not be effective, but it will also make people feel inexplicable, and every space will not be understood.
"Xiao Qin's editing technique ......," Zhang Yimou pouted.
Qin Muchu not only explained all the things in the dream realm, but also put the tension to the maximum.
If the film is successful, the editing technique accounts for at least a third of the credit.
The remaining two-thirds are the script, filming techniques and special effects.
Actors' performances......
It's not that it's bad, it's all very real, Zhang Yimou was quite surprised that Qin Muchu was able to train Zhou Jiaolun and Liu Xiqian's acting skills to judge the two.
But this is a director's "show off" work, watching this movie, the audience is even more amazed at how the director made these things.
The actor in this film is just a "tool", a tool to drive the plot.
"This movie was cut by Xiao Qin himself?"
The man who had just added Zhang Yimou's words spoke, a little surprised.
"Yes, he edited his own movies and didn't let others interfere."
Zhang Yimou smiled, looked at the man next to him and made a rare joke:
"The acting department of the film academy has produced talents."
The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and he heard the teasing in Lao Mouzi's words.
He is the director of Yanying's directing department, but a director like Qin Muchu is a student of the acting department, which is so overwhelming that even the director department can't raise his head.
As the head of the acting department, it is even more embarrassing.
Turning his head to look at Qin Muchu who was a few seats away, he said helplessly:
"At that time, when this kid came in, I wanted to recruit him to the acting department, but Cui Xinqin didn't let him go, pointed at me and scolded, 'Tianzhuangzhuang, you dare to come to me to rob people, you try', with a stick, you want to beat me out, what can I do......"
"Haha."
Zhang Yimou smiled and didn't speak.
With such a good student, no teacher can let go.
"But it's not hopeless, Xiao Qin graduated early this year, and he wants to take a position in the school, so I have to fool him into our directing department, and I have to give a few lessons to the students.
When the time comes, Lao Cui can't stop him anymore. Laughing first is not laughing, then laughing and laughing, haha......" Grange Zhuang said with a smile.
Qin Muchu didn't know that he had already been remembered by Tian Zhuangzhuang, one of the fifth-generation directors, before he graduated......
"How did you shoot a horse?"
Jiang Wen couldn't hold it back.
He has endured it for a long time, after all, it is really unqualified to watch movies and talk non-stop.
I heard a faint sound just now.
Hmph, ashamed to be with the fifth generation of directors.
Seeing the water rushing into the izakaya, Jiang Wen could bear it; Seeing the explosion of the street scene, he can still hold on; When the city was folded upside down, he already had a pair of big Carslan eyes; Seeing the train on the streets, he couldn't hold back.
There was only one thought in my heart.
You translate for me, what kind of special code is called a horse riding movie?
"The train is real, the wheels and the crushed road surface are special effects, a combination of real shooting and special effects, realistic."
Qin Muchu showed a smug smile.
In fact, every time the premiere scene came from the burst of exclamations, he smiled.
Most of his pride as a filmmaker comes from the various positive reactions of the audience when watching the movie.
The box office is actually the least part of the pride composition.
"Lao Jiang, look ahead, times have changed."
Qin Muchu patted Jiang Wen on the shoulder earnestly.
His film has actually converged, mainly in the plot and brain holes.
When it comes to special effects, the "monster" that I don't know when it landed this year really subverted people's perception of the movie.
……
The movie of more than two hours ended quickly and unconsciously, and just when everyone thought the movie was over, a sound suddenly sounded on the screen that had been blacked.
"What are the results?"
"Determined by dreaming, safe."
At this point, the movie really ends.
The lights on the scene were lit, and Qin Muchu and other main creators took the stage.
The applause was thunderous, and it was not enough to resound throughout the theater, and it was transmitted through the soundproofing materials.
"Let's not talk about it, I believe that after watching this movie, you must not want to see Mr. Yu's face again, so let's hurry up and start that question session."
Guo Degang also took the microphone to the stage and habitually damaged his partner.
Yu Qian did not weaken Lao Guo, and immediately said:
"If there is any audience member who wants to ask a question, raise your hand and raise your height, otherwise Mr. Guo won't be able to see it."
While the scene was full of laughter, Qi Shushu raised countless hands.
"That's you, lucky viewer."
Guo Degang picked one at random.
"Director Qin, Zhuang Zhou, Taoism, Jixia School Palace are mentioned in the movie, and the voice of the last easter egg is Yang Mi and Zhou Huimin, right? They are not just simple airport staff, they have other identities, right? Is there a second part, and what ...... the second part? ”
"Stop, boy, you're a smart one, why don't you leave tonight, and you have a long talk with the director?"
Guo Degang had to interrupt the man half-jokingly.
Good guys, I can't stop asking.
But the audience didn't have a bad feeling for this young man.
Because he asked questions that won people's hearts.
Everyone saw this scene in the movie and felt that there was a larger worldview hidden behind the movie.
The lad's doubts are their doubts.
Qin Muchu picked up the microphone and brought it to his lips and coughed lightly:
"The second part does have this idea, and it is already being planned......"
Before the words fell, the premiere scene instantly became noisy.
"So when is it expected to be released? I'll definitely buy a ticket to see it. "The lad was excited.
"Uh, when."
Qin Muchu touched his nose,
"This is not necessarily, the actor is undecided at present, the money is not enough, and the script is not ......"
“……”
Guo Degang and Yu Qian glanced at Qin Muchu in surprise and silently moved a few steps to the side.
I haven't been beaten before.
"Mimi, if the audience rushes up in a while, you have to protect me and roar."
Zhou Jiaolun whispered to Yang Mi, who had the highest force value.
"Sister Mi doesn't protect people who don't pay attention to righteousness."
Yang Mi still remembers the revenge that Zhou Jiaolun ran away from in Japan.
Zhou Jiaolun's face was bitter.
If you don't run in Japan, you won't live to this day.
……
"Let's go, it's almost over."
The middle-aged man who was brought in by Guo Qilin said.
The premiere has come to an end, and the actors on stage have been withdrawn, only Zhou Jiaolun stayed to sing a song at the request of fans.
"Hmm."
The middle-aged woman stood up and suddenly asked:
"Is Xiao Qin's movie good? I didn't understand much. ”
"Good-looking, who would have thought that this kid would really become a great director." The man's eyes were full of amazement.
"The old man thought of it."
The woman's expression is affectionate,
"Do you think the old man can understand?"
The man looked at his haggard wife and felt a little distressed.
In the past two months, my wife has never slept a peaceful night, she is in a trance, and her mood is not high.
If this continues, he is really afraid that something will happen to his wife.
Holding his wife, he said softly:
"Yes, the old man can understand it, he is watching it now, aren't you worrying the old man like this? He asked us to hide it from Xiao Qin, because he was worried that Xiao Qin would be like you......"
The two of them were talking, not noticing a group of people walking towards them.
"You're getting fatter and fatter now! Bring someone in by yourself......"
The more Guo Degang spoke, the more angry he became, his eyebrows were raised, and he was about to reach out to twist Guo Qilin's ears.
When he was presiding on the stage, he noticed his son's strange behavior, and he didn't have to ask casually until just now, which surprised him into a cold sweat.
His son actually sneaked into the theater with someone who didn't have a ticket!
It's big or small.
If it's really an ordinary audience without a ticket, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't mean to earn two more tickets for the premiere.
But if you have other intentions and deliberately come to the premiere to make trouble, then it will be troublesome.
It's not that nothing like this.
Kissing actresses, knocking down actresses, and even proposing marriage at the event have all happened.
If it is really because of this kind of scandal in his son, Guo Degang feels that he may not be able to open even the theater if he is on TV.
"Teacher Guo, Teacher Guo, isn't it okay if this is going to end? Qi Lin is also kind-hearted, kindness is a good quality, and it should be encouraged. ”
Qin Muchu hurriedly stopped Lao Guo and pulled the little fat man behind him.
He didn't pay attention to this matter, he didn't feel that his character was so bad, just to be able to bump into a pervert.
However, he was very curious about Guo Qilin's "those two uncles and aunts seem to know Director Qin", so he came to see it in person.
"It's those two uncles and aunts."
Guo Qilin pulled Qin Muchu's clothes and pointed to the front.
His eyes were red, and he was frightened by Lao Guo.
"Hmm."
Qin Muchu looked at the middle-aged couple.
The lighting was dim, and I couldn't really see it, but I felt a little familiar.
I got closer, I could see more clearly, my brain searched quickly, and I quickly remembered.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Sun!"
He walked up briskly.
The middle-aged couple is the daughter and son-in-law of the dean, and they also sent a photo with the dean a few years ago.
The middle-aged couple stiffened when they heard Qin Muchu's voice.
Seeing Qin Muchu coming over, his first reaction was to turn around and want to leave.
But Qin Muchu had already walked to the side:
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Sun, it's me, Xiao Qin."
He walked up to the two with a smile and bowed slightly:
"Why are you here, and you don't say a word to me, is the dean here too?"
