Chapter 418: "The Prisoner" Premieres!
November in China.
Autumn has come, and everything is withering.
But November in Brazil is spring.
Countless Chinese media gathered at the gate of the [Southern California International Film Awards].
After watching the teams enter the screening hall, there were bursts of uproar one after another......
[Zhang Sheng: Congratulations to the director of the movie "Dreamland" Christopher. Norey, congratulations to Avatar director McAskie for being shortlisted for our Southern California International Film Awards! 】
[The production team of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Dreamland" and "Superman: Man of Steel" and "Avata" announced their participation in the [Southern California International Film Awards]].
【……】
[Our "Prisoner" has invited the production team of three Hollywood blockbusters: "Dreamland", "Superman: Man of Steel", and "Avata"! We are committed to creating a film about humanity in the true sense of the word! 】
[In the second half of this year, the Huamei co-produced movie "Prisoner" will be officially completed, and Director Bi and I will use the ultimate visual experience to create a positive energy story of struggling on the brink of life and death for global audiences, promote life, and blossom in both style and style! ] 】
【……】
Zhang Sheng's sincere, confident, and slightly passionate voice still seems to be echoing in everyone's ears.
Last month.
Almost half of the Chinese film industry was shocked by Zhang Sheng's words.
In 2010, in this era when Hollywood movies are supreme, and words such as "epic blockbusters", "international directors" and "gorgeous co-productions" are equated with the high!
I can't imagine what a shocking impact Zhang Sheng's words in the video have had on the hearts of these media people!
Ke Zhanyi only remembered that when he saw a series of news, his whole skull was buzzing.
After nearly a week, the shock in my heart still didn't react!
He once questioned that Zhang Sheng just wanted to rely on this series of gimmicks to pull a wave of shocking traffic for the entire [Southern California International Film Awards]!
But......
Zhang Sheng's various experiences have made his sense of doubt a little weaker......
I even had a heart-wrenching idea that maybe Zhang Sheng really pulled a world-famous director like McAskie into the [Southern California International Film Awards].
It is precisely because of this idea that he will try his best to contact Zhang Sheng, hoping to make his "Afterlife" also gain popularity!
In fact......
Zhang Sheng's earth-shattering propaganda is indeed amazing!
At least......
When Zhang Sheng announced the start of the [Southern California International Film Awards]......
Countless Chinese media flocked to Brazil, and countless filmmakers and film critics crowded into Rossinia with excitement and almost madness.
But......
"Liar!"
"I'm grass! I was scammed! ”
"What 'Dream', what 'Avata', fuck, isn't that cheating feelings? Grass! ”
"Strictly speaking, it's not a deception, although an international director like McCaskey didn't come, but the "Dreamland" and "Avata" teams did come......"
", isn't this a sideshow? Let Zhang Sheng come out and speak! You can't be a human being, at least you can't be so shameless, right? ”
"Ahhhh
“……”
Ke Zhanyi looked at these media and felt their excitement......
At this moment, he suddenly became a little worried about Zhang Sheng!
When the lie is exposed, then ......
How will the backlash brought about by the crazy hype and the scolding of the deceived filmmakers end?
……………………………………
"Mr. Zhang, what should we do? Everyone knows that my "Prisoner" is to pull a wave of Hollywood marginal characters to film, and I am now scolded in Huaxia...... How do we end up? ”
Bi Feiyu smoked a cigarette while watching the news in Huaxia.
When the truth of the so-called [Huamei Co-production] was revealed to China by some media people, some filmmakers in the Huaxia film circle were scolding him and Zhang Sheng.
He began to feel a little anxious.
seems to have fallen from the much-anticipated [international director] to the altar all of a sudden, although it is not so much that everyone shouts and beats, but it is also a lingering stain in life.
"The screening of "The Prisoner" has three hours to go, and I guess it will be very lively."
Zhang Sheng sat in his office by the window, watching the media and filmmakers who were bustling below.
His expression was as calm as ever.
End?
Why did it end?
Zhang Sheng never thought about how it would end, and he never thought about it.
"Mr. Zhang, I know, but ......" Bi Feiyu heard that Zhang Sheng's words were not satisfied, and the corners of his mouth showed a little wry smile.
This era......
It has not yet come to the era of traffic in the true sense of the word.
has not gone through various baptisms in the traffic era, Bi Feiyu still has a sense of awe for the word "word-of-mouth" in his heart.
"Do you have faith in the film?"
"Yes."
"Then you don't have to care about all the doubts......" Zhang Sheng took a sip of coffee gently, felt the rich aroma of coffee, and then looked at the countless figures below: "Director Bi, do you see these people below?" These people, who have come from afar, seem to be angry and excited about being deceived, although they are also scolding us for the hype, but in fact, they wish that the heat would last longer, so that they can earn enough topic and attention......"
"Then do I want to ......" After Bi Feiyu heard Zhang Sheng's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was slightly stunned.
"You don't need to come forward, you just need to go to Hall 1 to show your "Prisoner", and I'll help you with the rest of these things......"
"Okay."
"Director Bi, sometimes obscurity is worse than abuse, worse than no attention, and besides, we never lie......" Zhang Sheng stood up, patted Bi Feiyu's shoulder with a smile, and then walked out of the office.
I don't know if it's an illusion.
Bi Feiyu felt that the moment Zhang Sheng walked out of the office door, his eyes became extremely sincere and pious......
He subconsciously followed.
Outside the door.
The media people are still gathered around the organizing committee of the [Southern California International Film Awards].
They were waiting for Zhang Sheng's explanation.
And then......
There was another commotion in the crowd!
They heard the news of the screening of "The Prisoner"!
Countless seemingly angry media, after hearing the news of the screening, all flocked to the screening hall of "The Prisoner".
But......
When they arrived at the screening hall......
They found that they couldn't even grab a standing ticket, and the "Prisoner" screening hall was already overcrowded.
…………………………
The movie "Prisoner" carries some of the negative emotions that Bi Feiyu has accumulated after "Seven Days of Killing".
Of course......
There is also Bi Feiyu's deep exploration of human nature.
In a sense, "The Prisoner" is more important than the previous "Seven Days to Kill".
But the movie "The Prisoner" ......
Whether it is from the selection of the crew, or from the formation of the crew.
In fact, the entire project was propped up by Zhang Sheng.
And he ......
Standing on the stage built by Zhang Sheng, with a movie, pour out all your desires!
Inadvertently......
He saw Scott, the prop master......
Scott is a prop trainee for Avata and a prop master for The Prisoner.
After the release of "Avata", Scott did not feel like this movie, but like the dark side in the light, always obscure and worthless.
He also saw Linda, a photography trainee for "Dreamland......
remembered the short filming time of "Prisoner", until this moment, Bi Feiyu felt shocked in his heart.
I was shocked by how Zhang Sheng pulled such a team, and made this team so easy to use, so that they cooperated so closely with each other.
He came out of a brief memory......
Before the movie begins, he hears a burst of swearing.
He clearly understands that some film critics have come here to "pick thorns".
Sitting in the back row of the screening room, the 1,000-square-meter screening room was full of people, although the exhaust system was brand new and fresh air was constantly being delivered in, it still gave people a sense of suffocation.
Outside ......
Countless spectators wanted to squeeze in, but the staff kept holding back......
………………………………
Some critics from Huaxia were outraged.
Angry that he had been deceived......
[Huamei co-production] horse eggs, how high is the force......
But now......
It felt like eating a piece of cake......
It's not life-threatening, but it's really disgusting.
But, if you come here, you have to at least take a look at "The Prisoner" before leaving, otherwise, won't the round-trip ticket be in vain?
Moreover, after all, Bi Feiyu has made movies like "Seven Days to Kill" that can leave traces in the history of global horror films......
Although there are some gimmicks for publicity, the movie ......
Maybe you can still watch it?
Even if you can't watch it, you can scold him a sentence or two.
Zhou Long, like many film critics, has this idea!
But......
When he walked into the "Prisoner" screening room, he couldn't squeeze into the "Prisoner" screening room at all.
Even if he has the professional certificate of [Huaxia Film Critic], he is useless......
The staff told him that the "Prisoner" screening room had reached its maximum capacity and that no one could be allowed to enter it.
It made him feel terrible......
He eventually walked out of the "Prisoner" screening room, and in the evening, he began to wander around the other screening rooms boredly.
And then......
At the end, he saw a sign placed by the staff.
When he saw this sign, he thought he was wrong, he stopped, and then stared at the sign closely!
"My Sassy Girlfriend Sadako"!
When he saw these words, he was stunned!
Horse eggs!
This film is also an exhibitor at the Southern California International Film Awards?
Are you kidding!
Such a bone wonder......
Is it a love affair with a ghost?
Wait a minute!
No, there is no movie among the shortlisted movies at the [Southern California International Film Awards]!
It was at this time......
This thought popped up in his mind, and although the words "big bad movie" had come to his mind, he still subconsciously walked towards this screening hall.
The movie "My Sassy Girlfriend Sadako" is already being screened.
But......
He found the screening room empty......
Except for a few staff members, there was no one at all.
Wait a minute!
The film doesn't seem to be in theaters, but in test screenings?
Zhou Long was about to leave......
However, when the picture appeared, Zhou Long subconsciously stopped again.
Wait a minute!
This one called "My Sassy Girlfriend Sadako" seems to be a bit interesting?
(Guaranteed two changes)
