Chapter 130: The Bell in the Opposite Direction

The premiere of the rejuvenation was held in one of the largest cinemas in the Western Capital.

The name of this movie theater is Yida, and it is one of the three major movie theater chains in China.

The number of cinemas it owns across the country is more than 5,000.

Therefore, being able to get more scheduled films in Yida is actually a very important thing for the movie "Rejuvenation".

It's afternoon and the weather is still very nice.

There are still two hours before the official start of the premiere, and Song Ci, Mimi and Cai Cunyi are chatting with the manager of Yida Cinema Line.

This is the general manager of Yida in Yizhou, surnamed Zhang, who is in charge of hundreds of theaters.

Song Ci and Manager Zhang stood face to face, and he said with a smile on his face:

"When I was a child, I loved to come to our Yida to watch movies, and I feel that your popcorn here is very delicious!"

Manager Zhang, a middle-aged man in his 50s, tall and thick-haired, said with a smile: "That's for sure, I myself love to eat our family's popcorn." ”

Cai Cunyi answered on the side and said, "Manager Zhang, you can give us a thorough understanding!" How much are you currently planning to get the film schedule of "Rejuvenation"? ”

Manager Zhang looked at the publicity materials standing at the entrance of the theater, including a big human-shaped stand card about Wu Hao, as well as a human-shaped stand of Song Ci:

"It's really hard to say at the moment...... So far, each of the six movies in this year's summer file feels particularly good-looking...... The audience also has their own expectations. But I haven't seen the whole film yet, today we are the first to watch "Rejuvenation", let's see how the quality of other movies is! ”

Manager Zhang spoke quite straightforwardly.

He has been up and down in the film industry for so many years, and he has a scale in his heart.

Anyway, there is only one criterion in his heart, that is, as long as the movie is good, the audience loves to watch it, and the audience is willing to pay for the movie to buy movie tickets.

Then the theater can make more films for this movie.

There's not much to say about that.

But in fact, Manager Zhang also knows in his heart that for the film "Rejuvenation" produced by Song Ci Studio, which is actually more literary and artistic, it is basically impossible to give it a high schedule in this summer.

Of course, he wouldn't say this kind of thing in front of Song Ci Cai Chunyi, he didn't have to.

The theater manager who was invited today was not only Manager Zhang, but also the person in charge of Yizhou from the other two major cinema films, and they were also present.

Everyone also exchanged pleasantries.

Song Ci and Cai Cunyi repeatedly said that the movie must be good, and I hope that the managers of the theater chain can schedule more films for "Rejuvenation".

As time passed, the number of people on the scene slowly increased.

The first to arrive were some of the film critics who had been invited.

Everyone was happy, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

The presence of these people was basically invited by Song Ci Studio.

Under normal circumstances, if a movie of the grade of "Rejuvenation" is used, these people will not come.

Song Ci and Cai Cunyi shook hands with every film critic present in a friendly way, and said with a smile, I hope everyone will go back and show mercy, write more words to praise the movie, and talk about the advantages of the movie.

Film critics are also arching their hands, of course.

After all, it's the person who reaches out and doesn't hit the smiley face.

Everyone is mixed up in the rivers and lakes.

After a while, a large basket of flowers was delivered.

This was sent by Director Sun Dachuan.

He didn't arrive in person, but the proper amount of courtesy still arrived.

The flower basket reads, "I wish the box office of rejuvenation is booming].

Mimi stood in front of the flower basket with one hand crossed, took out her mobile phone and took a photo seriously, and then said with emotion to the person next to her:

"If you don't say it's a big director, Xiaojie, we have to write down these feelings!"

Soon, the first artist arrived, it was Tang Shi.

She is wearing a pair of pale blue jeans today, a white shirt on her upper body, and a ball head.

As soon as it appeared, it immediately caused many people at the scene to exclaim.

She smiled, trotted up and hugged Song Ci, and said beside Song Ci: "Your battle is really good!" ”

"After reading it tonight, I'm going to write us some movie reviews, post a Weibo compliment, and publicize it!" Song Ci said with a smile, and then asked Liao Jie to take Tang Shi in.

Tang Shi chatted with Cai Cunyi for a few more words, and then walked in. 、

She and Cai Cunyi had met a few times when they were studying, but they were not familiar with him, and they only knew that he was Song Ci's roommate.

Tang Shi sat in the first row.

The first row of the premiere here is not quite the same as the first row where you usually watch movies.

The first row of the premiere is actually the best position.

Many film critics came in and sat in the back four or five rows.

However, seeing the appearance of Tang Shi, a group of film critics became a lot more excited.

"I thought there were no big names in the movie Rejuvenation, but I didn't expect Tang Shi to come!"

"This should be Song Ci's own personal relationship, he has a good relationship with Tang Shi!"

Several film critics were talking and laughing, and Li Siyu also walked in from outside.

With a smile on her face, she trotted to Tang Shi's side, and the two of them talked and laughed.

The male protagonist of the play "Rejuvenation" is Wu Hao.

And the heroine's words are an actress from the Western Capital Drama Theater, named Gu Xiuchun.

Gu Xiuchun is not well-known in the rivers and lakes.

Of course, her acting skills are very good, and she is also very beautiful.

Several people stood at the door, greeting the guests.

Gu Xiuchun and Song Ci said: "Old Song, it has to be you, there are so many big stars that I haven't had a chance to meet!" ”

Mimi answered: "When our movie is broadcast, you have to be a big star!" ”

Gu Xiuchun waved his hand again and again when he heard this.

At this time, a car stopped in front of him, and Lu Song stepped out of the car.

The scene suddenly erupted into a warm commotion.

More than 10 media outlets came to shoot the premiere of "Rejuvenation".

Among them, the local media in the western capital accounted for more than half.

"I'm going, has Director Lu Song arrived? What's going on? Does Song Ci have such a big face! ”

"My dear! Did Director Lu Song come over to support Song Ci? This must be because Lu Song and Song Ci collaborated on "Black and White" Black and White! ”

"Today's premiere is worth it, I thought it was all some little stars, but I didn't expect even Director Lu to appear!"

Lu Song walked up with a smile on his face, and Song Ci hugged him: "Director Lu, go sit in first!" ”

Lu Song patted Song Ci on the shoulder: "I know, you are busy first, and we will talk in detail after the movie is finished later." ”

Then Cai Cunyi, who was on the side, had a smile on his face, stretched out his hands and shook hands with Lu Song seriously, and said with emotion: "Director Lu, I like your movies very much. ”

"I know you! I hope your movie today will give me a refreshing feeling! ”

Cai Cunyi personally led Lu Song in.

Tang Shi, Li Siyu and others, who had already come to the scene, stood up and greeted Lu Song.

At this moment, there are still about 20 minutes before the movie officially starts, and Song Hongdou is also there.

Her appearance made the media and film critics at the scene appear another wave of climax.

This is a genuine, diva-level female singer in the Chinese music scene.

It's very difficult to see each other.

Even if there is a commercial performance, it will casually start at 7 figures.

Song Ci also hugged Song Hongdou, and then said: "Special thanks to Sister Hongdou for supporting our family movie, I thought you were studying, and then you didn't come!" ”

Song Hongdou studied business administration.

But she hasn't been there for the last two months.

In front of a group of surrounding media, Song Hongdou said with a smile: "The movie written by Teacher Song Ci must be supported, not to mention that Teacher Wu Hao himself starred!" Mr. Wu, I like your play very much, I feel very handsome! ”

Wu Hao and Song Hongdou were not familiar with each other, but seeing Song Hongdou chatting with him so familiarly, he also responded with a smile:

"I may be going to disappoint you this time, there is basically no fight in our movie this time, haha!"

Si Kouxue followed closely behind Song Hongdou and also arrived.

Although he shouldn't think so, Song Ci was actually not surprised by Si Kouxue's arrival.

Because this sister is such a character on the rivers and lakes, whoever is popular must play with whom.

"Sister Xue, you're finally here, if you don't show up today, our movie won't be broadcast!" Song Ci and Si Kouxue hugged and said teasingly.

Si Kou Xue glanced at Song Ci and said, "you, I want to have such a big face, I just bought your studio!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

It can be seen that although the director is Cai Cunyi today, and the starring roles are Wu Hao and Gu Xiuchun, the people present at today's premiere are basically coming over for Song Ci's face.

This shows how fast Song Ci's status in the rivers and lakes has climbed during this period of time.

When there were still 10 minutes before the movie started, the scene set off another cheer.

Because the actress Gu Jinghong was also present.

This made the critics' eyes straighten with excitement.

Gu Jinghong's status in the film industry is very high.

After all, she is a woman who has won two actresses.

"Thank you Sister Jinghong for your support, I will definitely not lose your movie in the future, and the department will charter the scene!" Song Ci and Gu Jinghong also hugged as usual.

Gu Jinghong's little face twisted slightly, and he whispered in Song Ci's ear: "Public opinion on the Internet is very fierce, pay attention!" ”

Saying that, she smiled charmingly, and greeted Wu Hao, Cai Cunyi and others one by one, and then walked into the screening hall.

I exchanged a few words with Lu Song and others.

Everyone sat in their own places together.

The screening room soon went dark.

The first thing that appears is a hospital room, where an elderly lady lies on top of a hospital bed and appears with her daughter.

There was a BGM ringing.

The accompaniment of this place, Song Ci uses the piano of "The Bell in the Opposite Direction" to play the melody.

As soon as the old lady came up, she first told her daughter a story about a clock in the opposite direction.

The story goes back to the Great Patriotic War a hundred years ago.

In those war-torn years, there was a watch merchant who made a clock, but his clock was counterclockwise.

He hung the clock on top of the high house.

The hour hand ticks backwards.

There are countless images that flash by and seem to be playing backwards.

Lu Song nodded lightly, and said to Cai Cunyi, who was sitting beside him:

"It's a bit interesting at the beginning!"

All the audience at the scene showed attentive expressions.

At this time, the scene returns to the old lady's hospital room.

She gave his daughter several diaries.

The daughter opened the diary.

It was discovered that this diary was a confession written by a man named Song Zhong.

As soon as this name came out, several film critics exchanged ears.

"Song Ci, this kid likes to make some bells and whistles on people's names!"

"The name Song Zhong is not very auspicious!"

"This opening is quite distinctive, with a unique temperament like a literary film!"

The story begins to immerse itself in the monologue of this Song Jun.

Time began to turn back, back to a hundred years ago.

A son born to the wife of a watch merchant surnamed Song ran in expectantly to see it.

It turned out that the son born to his wife was full of wrinkles, like an old man.

This scene directly frightened the watch dealer.

Here appeared the role of Song Zhong's mother who was made a cameo by Tang Shi, and there were only more than ten seconds of footage in the shot.

But Li Siyu and Song Hongdou, who were sitting next to Tang Shi, recognized it at once, and Li Siyu gently patted her shoulder and said:

"Sister Sugar Candy, do you still have a role behind this role?"

Tang Shi said with a smile: "You keep looking, I won't give you spoilers about this matter." ”

And after everyone saw this scene, the curiosity in their eyes was also hooked.

The critics before coming here had all seen the trailer and probably knew what kind of story it was.

But now when they saw a baby like an old man appear in the camera, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

"I seem to have seen the ending of this movie, that is, he slowly lived from an old man to a baby!"

"I already know the end of the story, but I have a sense of anticipation! I want to know now that he is getting younger and how he will get along with the people and things around him, and I have to say that as soon as this script came up, the hook has hooked my heart! ”

Lu Song patted Song Ci's thigh with interest and said, "It's only been a few minutes now, but it's really interesting, it's not boring at all!" ”

Then he sighed with Cai Cunyi on his right and said: "It's quite thoughtful, looking forward to the follow-up!" ”

Cai Cunyi was actually nervous the whole time.

His hands were clenched into fists, and his palms were already oozing with sweat.

Now is the moment for his ugly daughter-in-law to see her in-laws, and he is so nervous that he doesn't want to.
