Chapter 251: He's a Good Man

"Mr. Zhu!"

"Director Yang!"

"Teacher Lu!"

"Uncle Lou, Mrs. Lou, welcome!"

"Brother Ye, you're here too!"

"Director Peng, long time no see!"

The reason why the premiere was held in Shanghai Film City was because the film was distributed by Shanghai Film Studio, which occupied the advantage of the home field; On the other hand, Li Tang's main connections are still in Shanghai.

For example, Zhu Yongde, the president and director of Shanghai Film Studio, which was just established in August this year, and the director and artistic director of the drama center of Li Tanglao's unit were all present one by one.

In addition, there are several directors from Shanghai Film Studio, and many colleagues from the Drama Center also came to cheer.

Li Tang and Cheng Er took the lead, as well as Xu Guangtou, Fan Xiaopang, Jiang Qinqin and other main actors lined up and stood at the door of the theater to greet them.

This burst of momentum immediately attracted a lot of fans. Today's premiere has already been advertised on television, newspapers and the Internet, but the 1,118-seat first hall is still not full. And the fans who were attracted at this moment flocked to the ticket office when they heard that there were still tickets for the premiere, and the remaining tickets were sold out at once, which was really unexpected.

Of course, these viewers are more for watching the stars.

After all, in addition to the main creator of the movie, many of these guests are also familiar faces, such as Director Yang of the Drama Center, who is a famous actor. "Escape" played General Chen Geng.

Mr. Lu Liang, the artistic director of the Drama Center, is even more well-known. In addition, it also includes several old mages in the drama center - Wei Zongwan, Zhou Yemang and so on.

More than 40 guests, plus the first hall was full, finally supported the premiere scene.

The host of the premiere is Xu Guangtou's classmate, and he is also the famous host of Oriental Channel, Cheng Lei.

Before the screening of the movie, the main creators appeared on stage, and the director Cheng Er, who was originally the protagonist, experienced such a big scene for the first time, coupled with the attribute of social fear, he actually stumbled in just a few sentences.

And the audience's eyes are naturally focused on the four stars Li Tang, Xiaopang, Jiang Qinqin and Xu Guangtou, including the cameras of the TV station are aimed at them.

The press session will be held after the film screening, and the premiere will also be broadcast on the entertainment news this evening.

The interaction time before the screening is not long, about ten minutes. A small-budget art film like "The Third Man" is useless no matter how fanciful it is, and the movie itself trumps everything.

The lights slowly dimmed, the screen lit up, and the noise quieted down.

After skipping the dragon mark and the factory logo of Shanghai Film Studio, a close-up of Fan Xiaopang appeared on the big screen, only to see her piercing her ball, a blue retro sweatshirt, and bowing her head slightly, as if she was looking at something.

The screen went dark, and then lit up, it was still a close-up of Fan Xiaopang, but at this time her head had been raised, and she didn't look directly at the camera, her eyes shifted slightly.

In the camera, she did not wear the so-called no-makeup, but real no-makeup, but her skin was still very white. And what really attracted the audience's attention was not her still beautiful plain makeup, but the disappointment revealed in her peaceful and quiet eyes.

Those who know the knowledge among the guests can understand at a glance that the dramatic tension is completely placed on one face, and the symmetrical composition is dignified and restrained in line with the psychological temperament of the characters here, which is contrasted with the fixed close-up shots chosen by the director, which are calm and powerful.

Those who know the know have expectations for the movie just by one shot, while most of the audience has a completely unaware feeling. Only audiences who have read a lot of films may see that this seems to have the shadow of Wong Kar-wai's films.

As soon as the camera flashed, I saw Fan Xiaopang leaning over and dragging a person's body hard, because his arms were pulled up, just blocking the person's face, he could only judge by his clothes, this was a man.

Finally, Fan Xiaopang was bored and sat on the ground, and the pulled arm that blocked the camera hung down, and then the audience saw that the person she was dragging was Li Tang.

Is Li Tang dead?

When all the audience had questions, the picture flashed again, and a car was slowly pushed out of the automatic car wash, and a man could be vaguely seen sitting in the car through the windshield sprayed by the water mist.

As the car was slowly withdrawn, the wipers scraped the water on the windshield, and the man sitting in the driver's seat could be seen to be Li Tang. At this point, he looked unkempt, his hair was oily and messy, his beard had not been shaved in two days, and he looked a little scruffy.

I saw that he was lying on the seat asleep at this time, as the camera slowly zoomed in, it was still a fixed close-up, his chest was slightly undulating, and he slept very soundly.

It wasn't until the car horn sounded behind him that he was pleasantly surprised from his sleep, looked around blankly, and then cheered up, started the car, and turned a corner in front of the camera.

The picture flashed again, at this time in a room, this is a long lens, through the narrow living room, I saw a back on the balcony, only to see him slowly climb up to the balcony.

Almost at the same time, everyone at the scene had the idea that this person was going to jump off the building.

But this person stood on the balcony for a while, and slowly squatted down, and finally saw the side face of this person, yes, it was Xu Guangtou.

But at this time, he can't be called bald, because he has hair and is slightly messy, and when he slowly turned his head, he saw a melancholy face that was completely different from "Li Wei as an Official" and "Zhu Bajie".

Followed by another long shot, this shot was taken from the opposite building, at this time the audience finally saw that there was a cabinet about the same height as the railing on the balcony, and Xu Guangtou was squatting on the cabinet at this time, the camera zoomed in and out, explaining that this person who wanted to jump off the building, but he didn't have the courage for the time being.

The camera cuts back to the house again, again through a long shot of the narrow living room. Hearing a phone ringing, Xu Guangtou, who was squatting on the balcony cabinet, looked back into the room, and then turned around and ignored it, and the phone kept ringing tirelessly......

The picture flashed again, a printing workshop with a roaring machine, and Chubby with long hair and a shawl and a blue overalls T-shirt stood in front of the machine, looking down at the colorful pictorial that kept spitting out from the machine.

"Didi, Didi......"

The sound of the black electronic watch she was wearing in her hand made her feel relieved, and she walked to the locker room, opened the locker, and took her medicine.

It turned out that she was a patient.

The picture flashed again, and I saw that Li Tang was already driving on the road, with dense foliage of plane trees on both sides of the road, and quaint small western-style buildings within the walls. This is a quiet boulevard, and many local spectators recognize this road at a glance as Wuyuan Road.

The camera shines through the windshield and sees a little girl riding a bicycle in the distance.

The picture jumps horizontally again, a CT picture of the human brain is slowly emerging, and in another flash, a long-haired woman with blindfolded eyes and most of her face is slowly pushed out lying on the CT bed. When she stopped, the woman pulled back the black blindfold on her face, which was Fan Xiaopang's pale face.

It turned out that she had a brain disease.

The constantly switching pictures make the audience look in the clouds, because these pictures are completely fragmented, and the only information they get is probably that Li Tang has a car, and it seems that he is a relatively successful person, but he is very busy and causes lack of sleep; Fan Xiaopang, a printing factory worker, has a problem with his brain, literally, as if he has something in his head; Xu bald, a hesitant, decadent person, has suicidal tendencies.

Except for Jiang Qinqin, all three leading actors have appeared, but what is the story about? I don't know!

And when those knowledgeable guests saw these fragmented shots, their faces showed surprised expressions, and at the same time, a movie term invariably came to their minds - "non-linear narrative editing".

Maybe these guests may have come to Li Tang at the beginning, after all, they won the Best Actor Award in the Venice Film Festival against the current.

According to the weight of the award, this award may be second only to the best actor in the main competition unit of the three major European film festivals, and the best actor of other international A-class film festivals, the quality is on par.

But at this time, the expert guests had to look at Cheng Er, the young director who stammered and couldn't speak clearly.

Probably only Comrade Zhu, the boss of Shanghai Film Group and the director of Shanghai Film Studio, has a beautiful face, as a producer, he has not only seen the finished film, but also seen the rough cut version. There is only one conclusion, Shanghai Film Studio has produced a talented director.

You must know that an excellent director can often support a film studio.

Xie Jin is a very stark example.

With a sharp sound of brakes, the car driven by Li Tang hit a little girl riding a bicycle on this quiet boulevard.

Finally related to Li Tang sleeping in the car in front of him, tired from work and fatigued driving.

The bike crashed and the little girl fell unconscious on the road. Li Tang nervously got out of the car, looked at the little girl who fell to the ground, and looked around again, there was no one quietly.

Going to hit and run?

The next moment, Li Tang picked up the little girl and put it in the car, leaving the broken bicycle behind, and the car sped away.

Obviously, Li Tang didn't have a hit-and-run, and he was going to take the little girl to the hospital, he was a good person.
