Chapter 263: [Self-Exposure Again]
Regarding the incident of scalping tickets, the people present have more or less heard about it.
But they didn't expect that Lu Zhengyi would take the initiative to mention this matter at the premiere event.
For example, most of the parties who know about this kind of behavior, let alone take the initiative to mention it, will probably deliberately use some means to downplay the matter.
After all, this kind of thing can only have a negative impact.
People will only criticize this behavior because a group of people spent hundreds or thousands of dollars to watch a movie, a concert, or an offline event, thinking that it is irrational chasing stars and consumption.
And few people think about who is mainly at fault in this matter, whether the secondary fault party can avoid this situation, and how to solve the problem...... In the end, it is just a shallow melon on the Internet, and there is no need to be so profound.
But it is often this kind of unnecessary, but many people's bad words become the last straw that weighs on some people.
"No need, Director Lu!"
"It's just a little pastime, and the money doesn't have to be refunded."
"yes, I'm definitely behind you."
Of course, the people who bought the tickets were more people who were not bad at that bit of gold and silver, and for Lu Zhengyi to say that he would pay them back out of his own pocket, the audience below spoke out one after another, saying that they didn't need to make it up.
It may be an insult for some to make it back.
"I just offered a solution."
Lu Zhengyi stood on the stage with a cane in his hand, looking at them with a smile, "As for whether there is a need to use this plan, I will not force anyone. ”
"As directors and audiences, we are Maxima and Bole, you appreciate me, and I will provide you with better works."
"But for the matter of movie tickets, we are the customer relationship between Party A and Party B, whether we need the help provided by our side, this is the customer's own choice, and we, as Party A, have no right to interfere too much."
Speaking of this, he paused, "I brought this matter up here today just because I felt that I, as the director and investor of the film Xenodimension, should respond to it, not say it...... When nothing ever happened. ”
"After all, we do understand, and it has also caused a certain amount of discussion on the Internet, and if we don't do anything, it feels a little irresponsible."
"By the way, I would like to inform all friends who are live or online that in the future, because of this situation, there will be fewer offline activities, I hope you can understand."
All aspects of this statement are in place.
Among the audience at the scene, many people were a little surprised that Lu Zhengyi, a person who looked like a big grin, spoke so tactfully and understood the world so well.
But think about it carefully, as a person who can become a big director at a young age in the entertainment industry, in addition to his own professional ability, he definitely needs something else.
Survival in this society may only require professional ability, but if you want to climb to a high place, you can no longer just have ability.
What's more, Lu Zhengyi also married a wife who matched her family background, appearance, and morality.
It's just that sometimes, his burly and fierce appearance makes it easy to overlook that.
The audience didn't react much, just listened silently.
Later, on the screen that has been replaced with a live broadcast screen, the public screen is full of 'positive energy' and 'understanding'. ’
In addition, there are some other barrages interspersed with 'How did Director Lu practice this figure', 'I can't stand this physique', 'When will I shoot Curse 2', 'I'm', 'I'm also pulling the brother in front, let's ...... in a double row'
and so on.
With this big screen full of barrages, the atmosphere at the scene is relatively lively.
At the last premiere of the First Commandment, because they had just finished watching a horror movie, the audience had not yet broken free from that emotion, so whether it was a question session or a group photo, they were relatively quiet and tactful.
Of course, the same is true for the audience now.
It's just that under the backdrop of the fans on the line, the atmosphere has become lively.
"So now let's introduce our main creative team."
Lu Zhengyi acted as the host as always and began to guide the activities.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Ziyun, and I played the role of Luo Zhan in the movie just now."
As the leading actor, Zhou Ziyun stepped forward first and introduced himself, "This is my first attempt at being a leading actor on the big screen, and I hope my performance can satisfy you." ”
It's probably been years since he has shown his face in such a public setting, so he seems a little reserved.
"Hello everyone, I'm Huang Yunli, and I'm a mentally ill Zhang Xin in the movie, if you have time, please support our alien space."
"I'm Zhang Yu, and I'm the assistant director of this movie."
"I, I'm Bai Wei, as an assistant director."
In addition to Assistant Wang, who was still offstage, several members of the crew who went to Beidu to participate in the premiere event this time briefly introduced themselves.
And among them, there is also a person who claims to be an assistant to the director, which is very surprising.
After all, such an event is usually a director, an assistant director, an actor, a producer, and a screenwriter...... Other positions such as photographers, scene reporters, assistants, etc., even if they are present, at most they will only take the stage at the end of the group photo.
In the Q&A session that followed, there were a variety of questions.
Most of them are questions about the plot of the movie, such as 'Does Zhang Xin really have yin and yang eyes', 'Did Luo Zhan really hit a ghost', 'Did Luo Zhan die in the end...... These questions, and for this kind of question involving the direction of the plot, Lu Zhengyi's answer is as vague as ever.
Regarding whether Zhang Xin has yin and yang eyes, I actually don't know very well, because the character settings in the script are also very ...... Vague, what do you think, Director Lu', 'I think Luo Zhan should just be under a lot of pressure in his heart, but what is shown in the plot doesn't seem to be the same thing, and I'm not very sure', 'This should be regarded as an open-ended ending, as he said in the end, if there is a ghost, then it will be pushed down, then if there is no ghost. That...... Well, it depends on which one you want to accept. ’
Either the two actors answered by themselves, or threw the question to Lu Zhengyi.
Whether it was the on-site audience or the online audience, their questions were only answered with some ambiguous answers.
A movie that is excellent enough, everyone will have their own understanding and emotions after watching it.
As the main creative team, in the process of answering, it is more about letting them accept their understanding after watching the movie, rather than forcibly giving an answer and letting them accept it.
Otherwise, it's like a person telling a joke, but because it's unclear and not exciting enough, after the story, everyone doesn't laugh.
So this person is very strange why everyone doesn't laugh, and can only explain what's funny about the joke and where the laughter is.
Honestly, the process of explanation is funny.
But after all, it's a premiere, and not everyone has seen the movie.
So occasionally, there will be some questions about things other than drama, such as 'Zhou Ziyun's situation', 'Lu Zhengyi's next filming arrangement', 'when will he go to film with China again', 'will it develop abroad in the future......
and so on, and even some people asked where Lu Zhengyi bought the cane in his hand.
And there are also some foreign audiences among them.
Because the home stadium of Xenospace is in Tang Kingdom, although the scene of the premiere is Tang Kingdom.
But online, there are also some overseas fans who noticed Lu Zhengyi's new work and deliberately crossed the high wall to participate in this online live event, asking their own questions in their own language.
And when they drew their questions, Lu Zhengyi also gave some corresponding answers through translation software.
Unconsciously, I was asking questions, drawing lotteries, and taking group photos...... After the session, the event gradually came to an end.
But in the process, there are two people on the stage who are more awkward.
Zhang Yu and Bai Wei, one of them is an assistant director, and the other is an assistant director, and their powers overlap with Lu Zhengyi.
Whether it is the on-site audience or the online audience, if they have questions about the role, of course they will give priority to asking the actors, and if they have questions about the crew's shooting, they must first find Lu Zhengyi, a more famous director.
As for Zhang Yu and Bai Wei, many people actually don't know each other at all, so no one asks them questions at all, and no one interacts with them.
However, Lu Zhengyi let them come to power, definitely not to be this wooden man.
"Today's event is almost over here, thank you very much for your support."
When the process was over, when everyone else thought that the event had ended, Lu Zhengyi picked up the microphone, "I hope that when everyone leaves the venue in the future, they can leave in an orderly manner, and the problem of making up the money I just mentioned, everyone just needs to find any staff member in the theater and briefly mention this matter." ”
In order to avoid the situation that someone wants to get the supplement, but under the influence of this atmosphere, they dare not contact other people, he deliberately asked someone from the theater to assist in the work.
"But then, in addition to the movie itself, I have a little personal matter that I would like to take this opportunity to thank someone, and if you are interested, you can continue to stay and listen."
And just as the others were about to get up and leave, Lu Zhengyi continued to speak, looking to his side, "The person I want to thank is the director next to me...... Mr. Zhang Yu. ”
His abrupt opening surprised everyone on the scene, including those online and on stage.
As a party, Zhang Yu looked at Lu Zhengyi who was looking at him in a daze.
"In fact, if you go to see some of my past works, or if you have been following me since the first work was filmed, you may not be familiar with the name Zhang Yu."
In the quiet venue, Lu Zhengyi took the microphone and spoke slowly, "From the old corpse of the mountain village in the first part, to the spell, and then to the double pupils, Mr. Zhang Yu's name has always appeared in the list of the main creative teams of these three works. ”
"Although after that, he unfortunately left our team temporarily due to physical reasons, but his weight to the crew is actually the same as that of me as a director."
"Because in a sense, I was taught by him, so I should call him 'sir' and 'teacher.'" ”
He solemnly bowed to Zhang Yu.
The media reporters who had already begun to pack up the cameras were stunned one by one.
Immediately afterward, they hurriedly set up the camera, and the 'click-click' flash came on one after another.
At the same time, their faces showed excitement and ecstasy.
If it's just a premiere event, there's really nothing to shoot, and they're limited in what they can do as journalists.
But if Director Lu Zhengyi says so, then we're not welcome.
"You ......"
Awakened by these flashing lights, Zhang Yu picked up the microphone and was about to say something.
But Lu Zhengyi stopped him.
"I know that my words may arouse suspicion among some people, but since I will bring this matter out today, I must be mentally prepared."
He looked at Zhang Yu with a smile, and then looked at the camera below, facing the audience in the audience and the audience of the online live broadcast, "Actually, my grades in school were not excellent, because at that time, I didn't have much interest in the profession of director, but I was just a pure son inheriting my father's business." ”
"And if you are really interested in directing and embark on this path, it should be said that after graduation."
"The movie "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village is my first work, and the team is naturally formed by me, whether it is the assistant director, actors, cinematographers, props, funds, and plot...... I am responsible for many of them, but as the first work, my directing ability is obviously relatively limited. ”
"So as a director at that time, Mr. Zhang Yu was actually in charge of more shooting, and I was more like an assistant director, a producer, and an assistant, maintaining the team and learning how to direct the shooting."
"Strictly speaking, Mr. Zhang Yu's filming and directing should account for 60%, no, 70, or even 80% of the old corpses in the mountain village, and the number of times I have directed in the position of director is obviously not as good as his."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was in an uproar.
Is this self-exposure?
Proxy shooting?
"No, no, no, it's not what he says it is."
Zhang Yu hurriedly grabbed the microphone of Zhou Ziyun next to him and explained, "As a crew and a team, the director is the core and the person who coordinates the entire crew, and Director Lu's dedication in the team is absolutely undoubted." ”
"All of us were summoned by him, and no one was optimistic about horror films at that time with the money for filming, most of them were funded by him alone, as well as the script, and the script was also found by him."
"To be honest, as a recent graduate, Director Lu is commendable enough for having such professional ability, which is why I am willing to stay in the team all the time."
He hurriedly explained to the camera and the audience, for fear that they would misunderstand something.
"But most of the film is really directed by you, isn't it?" Lu Zhengyi smiled helplessly beside him, "As a student, I hope to let the world know your efforts, at least in the film industry, someone should know the name Zhang Yu." ”
"The work is the effort of our entire shooting team."
Zhang Yu is still holding on, trying to redeem something, "The old corpse in the mountain village is the work of you and us. ”
"That's true, it's a team effort."
Lu Zhengyi smiled and nodded, "I just want people to know that you have a higher weight than me in directing the filming of the old corpse in the mountain village." ”
"You ...... guy"
Zhang Yu is almost angry, as an old man in the circle, he can almost imagine what tomorrow's hot search will be.
There will definitely be entries such as 'Lu Zhengyi filming', 'fake director', and 'whose credit is ...... for the success of the old corpse in the mountain village'.
"Anyway, accept all this, Lao Zhang." Lu Zhengyi walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand and gently hugged his shoulder, and the two of them looked towards the camera in front of them together, "These things, in fact, there is nothing to hide." ”
"And the assistant director next to me, Bai Wei, in fact, he should be regarded as my junior brother."
"At present, in the crew, he is being led by Assistant Director Zhang Yu to learn how to become a director, and in the film just now, the clip about Luo Zhan's ex-girlfriend Xue'er was co-directed by Deputy Director Zhang Yu and Assistant Bai Wei, and I have not participated in the filming of that storyboard."
