Chapter 126. "Those Years" Premiere [Two in One]

As one of the hottest schedules in the Chinese film market, the Chinese New Year file refers to the film schedule from the end of November to the beginning of March of the following year, about eighty or ninety days.

The consensus in the entire industry is from around November 20 to the end of the Spring Festival holiday, starting with the large-scale release of various films.

And earlier, that is, before 09 years, the initial New Year stalls were extended from mid-to-late December to early January, and later due to the intensification of the large-scale gathering situation, the date of the Lunar New Year stalls was repeatedly advanced to early November, and postponed to the end of February and early March of the New Year, spanning Christmas, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and Valentine's Day.

At this time in 2006, at the end of the year, ordinary people happily watched a movie after work, which was once considered a very fashionable thing.

Therefore, in this year, the Chinese New Year file is regarded as the most complete, most competitive, highest box office capacity, and strongest consumption power in China, and most blockbusters choose to be released during this period.

"Those Years" is among them.

As of November, the relevant website has conducted a statistical survey on the audience's expectations of this year's Chinese New Year movies.

ranked first, undoubtedly Zhang Guoshi's "The City is Near the Golden Armor", the second is "Wounded City" starring Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu, two handsome guys from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the third is the American youth film "Dance Out of My Life", as for "Those Years", it is ranked outside the top ten.

But with the progress of publicity, including the continuous popularity of "Soldier Assault", Sun Yi is familiar to more and more audiences, coupled with the already popular fairy sister Liu Yifei, the audience's expectations for "Those Years" are also rising steadily.

But to say how many people are sure to buy tickets to go to the cinema, this number may not be very large.

First, because Sun Yi and Liu Yifei's fans are very young, concentrated in college and even high school students, and their spending power is limited, and secondly, in these years, there is indeed an insurmountable gap between TV drama actors and movie actors.

However, this insurmountable gap has a tendency to become a smooth road because of the appearance of the two trailers of "Those Years".

The two trailers released before and after were interpreted by netizens as two completely different themes, and a group of netizens speculated about what this film was about.

And what made "Those Years" quickly out of the circle, it only took a month, and as of the beginning of December, the audience's expectations for it suddenly jumped to second place, what was the song that matched the two trailers.

A song "Little Lucky" sung by Liu Yifei, with the first trailer that unfolds completely from the perspective of the heroine, has fascinated countless netizens, regardless of male or female fans.

Male fans seem to see their first love, the treasure girl who hid in their hearts, maybe until graduation, and did not dare to come forward to confess and say to her, "I like you".

Female fans seem to have seen the best youth they have ever experienced.

The most touching thing about "Little Lucky" is not "I met you, I was so lucky", but "who silently guarded the place in the wind and rain", she told the sincerity of everyone's efforts in their youth and the protection they received.

The other is "Those Years" sung by Sun Yi, with the campus clip in the second trailer, focusing on the reminiscence of youth, this audience is wider, not only limited to young people, but mostly young people who have just started a family.

Everyone resonated with the beautiful faint regret expressed in the song.

Whose youth can have no regrets?

"Those Years" was promoted little by little.

Time just slipped away inadvertently.

However, as the screening date approached, the publicity of "Those Years" intensified, and many of them were spontaneously promoted by the media.

Moreover, more and more news about this movie has been revealed.

For example, its production cost is not high, and the cost of the whole film is less than four million, which is properly a "low-cost" movie.

For example, his main creative team was all completed by the teachers and students of the Beijing Film Academy, which belongs to a group of academic professionals full of sincerity.

For another example, this script and song were written by Sun Yi alone.

Everyone thinks that this movie is one of the few movies in recent years that focuses on youth and first love, and it should be refreshing.

The rise of public opinion has also affected a number of professionals in the industry.

Among them is Han Sanping, who is still serving as the deputy general manager of China Film Group.

This year's Lunar New Year stalls are visible to the naked eye and are relatively sluggish.

There is no Feng Xiaogang, there is no Cheng Long, and only Zhang Guoshi is left to carry the tripod.

And the main theme film "The Ballad of Yunshui", which was highly anticipated by China Film with an investment cost of more than 30 million, did not explode as expected, and the box office in the first weekend was only about 6 million.

Although the word-of-mouth is okay, it is foreseeable that its final box office will not exceed 40 million, and the cost will never be recovered at the theater end.

Some are sorry that China Film gave it close to 50% of the film scheduling rate.

Thereupon.

After urgent internal discussions, China Film made a decision to increase the film schedule the day before the release of "Those Years", directly doubling from the original 15% to 30%, and stepping up the production of copies.

Thanks to the fact that "Those Years" is a digital film, otherwise it may not have been too late in time.

The long-awaited December 4th has finally arrived.

Beijing Xingmei International Cinema.

The premiere of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was held here.

At half past five in the evening, Sun Yi drove Yang Mi to the studio.

"Hurry, hurry."

Sun Yi locked the car door, his face a little helpless.

"Big sister, this is my premiere, why are you more anxious than me?"

Yang Mi bent down and looked in the rearview mirror to check her makeup.

"I'm anxious for you, the movie premiere, what a beautiful moment, why aren't you excited at all."

It's like her premiere.

Since this morning, Yang Mi has called to urge, and asked Sun Yi to pick her up to participate in the meeting, and in the afternoon, the phone call is very much more, and the evaluation is non-stop urging for an hour.

The premiere, which started at 7 o'clock in the evening, was forced by Yang Mi to arrive an hour and a half early.

You said that the premiere, if there was a red carpet link, it would be fine.

It should be in place in advance and well prepared.

But the premiere of the movie "Those Years" did not arrange a red carpet at all, and there were no real big-name stars at all.

It's just to interact with the fans in the cinema, chat, what are you doing so early.

Sun Yi felt that he couldn't afford to provoke this aunt.

Originally, he didn't want to pick up Yang Mi today, he wanted to pick up Zhang Qin and Comrade Lao Sun, the first premiere of his life, of course, he had to share it with his parents.

But Zhang Qin didn't give any face at all, and didn't let him take it, saying that he was going with Comrade Sun, and he wanted to take the opportunity to let his incomprehensible father make up for the two-person world of watching movies together.

That's it, Sun Yi reluctantly agreed to Yang Mi.

The two went upstairs via an elevator and entered an internal lounge prepared in advance by the cinema.

The premiere started at 7 o'clock, first the introduction of the creators, and then half an hour later, at 7:30, the movie started playing on time, and after the broadcast, it was the final audience interaction link, so far the whole premiere was officially over.

The two pushed open the door and entered.

Sun Yi thought that he and Yang Mi should be the first to arrive, but he didn't expect Liu Xiaoli to take Liu Yifei and two other young girls to wait inside.

One of them Sun Yi knows, Yao Beina, who I have seen at the college student music festival before, and the other looks a little familiar, and should also be a relatively famous actress, but Sun Yi can't think of a name for a while.

"Sissi~"

"Mimi~"

Without waiting for Sun Yi to react, Yang Mi pushed him away, trotted forward and hugged Liu Yifei.

No, when did you two have such a good relationship, I don't know.

Isn't it just that there was an intersection in the crew of "The Condor Heroes" before, and more than half a year has passed, can it still be like this?

Oh, woman, I don't understand.

"Sissi, I watched the trailer, you are so beautiful, I envy you."

"You're also great, I haven't seen you for so long, I feel like you're getting more and more beautiful."

It seems that business blows each other~

"Sister Na."

"Well, here it is, I wish it a big hit at the box office."

"Borrow Sister Na's auspicious words."

Sun Yi stepped forward and greeted a few people.

"This is Shu Sing, my good friend." Saying that, Liu Yifei turned around and introduced Sun Yi again, "Sing, this is Sun Yi." ”

The young girl got up gracefully and smiled playfully.

"I don't need you to introduce me, I know, big singer, hello."

"Oh, no, no, hello, hello."

Hearing Liu Yifei's introduction, Sun Yi immediately remembered, yes, this is Shu Sing.

The appearance is really good, especially the sighing Ying Yingyi's small waist, and the complexion is even fairer, so she can fight with the fairy sister.

Shu Sing was also born as a child star, but she is much more famous than Yang Mi and has starred in many popular film and television dramas, but it is a pity that she has been tepid in later generations, probably because she became famous at a young age, experienced too much, and looked down on fame and fortune.

After a brief observation, he withdrew his gaze, and it was always difficult to keep staring at others when they met for the first time.

The next thing seems to have nothing to do with Sun Yi, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi and the girls are chatting around and chatting non-stop.

Sun Yi glanced around the corner of his eyes, and it seemed that Aunt Liu was left.

Wouldn't it be nice to do that?

"Who's coming tonight?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoli brought up the topic with Sun Yi first.

At today's premiere, Sun Yi invited all the friends he knew, Yang Fan, director Kang Honglei, Zhang Yi, Xing Jiadong, including Shu Shu and Liu Shishi, and he also invited Wang Baoqiang, but Wang Baoqiang's "Assembly Number" is not over yet, so I can only helplessly apologize and say that I can't come.

However, he knew that Liu Xiaoli's attention was most likely not the people he invited.

It should be some leaders or celebrities or something.

"Aunt Liu, I don't know the specifics, I heard the teacher say that Director Tian Zhuang, Director Wang Jinsong, Teacher Xue and Senior Sister Yu Feihong should all attend, as for whether they invited other people, I don't know the specifics."

"Oh, by the way, Director Tian told me that it seems that the school has invited the relevant leaders of China Film Group, and I don't know if I can attend."

Hearing the word "Zhongying", Liu Xiaoli obviously had one or two eyes.

It seems that it is not as expected by Sun Yi, Aunt Liu is concerned about the big people.

Everyone chatted briefly in the lounge, and after a while, the main creators began to slowly arrive.

Luo Jin, Jiang Yiyan and other students from Liu Yifei's 02-level performance department came together.

In the lounge, there was another joyful scene of reunion after a long absence.

Approaching 7 o'clock, the teachers arrived, and they felt like the "Northern Shadow Heavenly Troupe", and several people rushed in together.

"Boy, are you nervous?"

"Small scene, I'm on the podium of the Hundred Flowers Award, and I'm still short of this?"

"Hey, this is crazy for you kid, there's no boundary."

Tian Zhuang laughed and teased Sun Yi.

"No, I don't see who taught me."

"Haha, okay, I love to hear that."

Tian Zhuang smiled happily.

"Director, you also think that Teacher Cui teaches well, right?"

Sun Yi made a joke and teased Tian Zhuang.

Hearing this, Tian Zhuang's face darkened, and he put on an extremely crooked look.

"Haha. Lao Tian."

Wang Jinsong next to him grabbed Tian Zhuang's arm and couldn't straighten up with a smile.

"This kid is terrible."

Tian Zhuang had nothing to do, Sun Yi's words, he had no reason to refute, he could only feel aggrieved in his heart.

"Let me tell you, boy, your short film "Tuner" has passed the final selection of all the judges, and will be selected to participate in the awards abroad on behalf of our Beijing Film Academy."

"Oh, Mr. Tian, thank you."

This was an unexpected joy, Sun Yi hurriedly thanked him, this opportunity was given to him by Tian Zhuang.

"It's okay, it should be."

Tian Zhuang was very useful after hearing this, and waved his hand lightly, looking like a master outside the world.

"Mr. Tian, that, which award do you participate in abroad, it won't be a pheasant award, right?"

"Want to know?"

Tian Zhuang's expression was extremely exaggerated, obviously taking revenge on Sun Yi, and selling Guanzi like an old child.

"Teacher Tian, I was wrong, you gave me good guidance."

"Oh, don't you dare, that's your talent."

Tian Zhuang exaggerated and waved his hand again and again.

It wasn't until Sun Yi said goodbye that Tian Zhuang laughed again.

"France, Cannes!"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Yi's pupils shrank significantly.

This news is indeed somewhat unexpected, I didn't expect to start with Cannes, the three major European awards.

After a while, Sun Yi's heart was a little lively.

Maybe we'll be able to get a little golden leaf to play with then.

Tian Zhuang seemed to see Sun Yi's thoughts, and opened his mouth to persuade:

"Okay, don't think about it, although we all agree that the film is very good, but Cannes is a world-class award, and when the time comes, the excellent film will be over, and it depends on God whether it can win the award."

Sun Yi also understands this truth, but there is one thing he doesn't agree with, this award is a thing, whether it is true or not depends purely on God, this matter may not be so absolute.

"Alright, it's almost time, let's get in."

Xue Xiaolu looked at the time and reminded everyone.

Hearing this, Sun Yi stopped thinking and hurriedly beckoned everyone to the screening hall.

This is the largest screening hall in Xingmei International Cinema, with nearly 300 seats, which is almost full at this time, but the front row still has the position of the main creators.

Nearly half of the venue, with more than 100 seats, were in-house tickets, all of whom invited friends and family and teachers from the school, including some film critics invited by the school and several media reporters.

The rest of the seats are all lucky spectators, most of them are tickets grabbed in advance, and a very few are just bought tickets today to catch up.

Just walked into the screening room.

"Qianqian~" "Liu Yifei, you are so beautiful~" "Sister Fairy! ""Sun Yi" "So handsome~"

The scene immediately exploded, and the shouts of the audience came and went.

Sun Yi was also surprised that in addition to Liu Yifei's fans, there were many people at the scene who came specifically for him.

He was a little confused, was he so influential now?

In fact, Sun Yi looks down on himself a little, the starring role of a popular TV series, plus two high-quality albums, he is now very famous.

At least, in this time period.

The host came to the stage, and this was a cameo by the host of the school's student union.

"Welcome to all lovely friends, come to participate in our Beijing Film Academy 02 level acting class graduation movie "Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together", and we have invited the main creators to play."

Screams and applause erupted.

"At that time, the 02 acting class was about to graduate, and it just so happened that this year, the school had a corresponding practical teaching task, and after discussing with the Qingying Studio, it was directly completed in the form of a feature film, so there was "Those Years" in front of everyone."

Director Wang Jinsong talked about the origin of this movie.

"Director Xue Xiaolu, as a woman, has a very good overall control of emotions and stories, so our school chose her as the director of this film."

"I was really happy to hear that I could play Shen Jiayi, this is a new challenge for me, I hope everyone will like it after watching it for a while."

"Thank you Mr. Wang and Mr. Xue for their trust in me, I hope my performance can satisfy everyone."

As soon as Sun Yi finished his introduction, the host suddenly re-walked onto the stage.

"Next, welcome General Manager Han of China Film Group, one of the producers of this film."

Sun Yi was shocked when he heard this, and saw a magnificent middle-aged man walking into the screening hall with two young secretaries, applauding and walking up to the stage.

The media reporters at the scene and the industry insiders sitting in the front rows of the audience were also secretly frightened.

I didn't expect this big guy to come.

It seems that I attach great importance to this film.

Take the microphone.

"Sorry for the delay, this will be shown soon."

"China Film Group has a supportive attitude towards China's excellent film works, and this film should be a major innovation in the theme of youth in China, and I wish it good results."

"Thank you General Manager Han for your encouragement."

The moderator stepped forward again.

"So, the time is almost up, and everyone has been waiting for a long time, so please get ready, our movie is about to air."

The time difference is 5 minutes to half a minute, and these 5 minutes are the preparation time for the live audience.

For example, go to the toilet in advance or something.

At this point, the big screen is on, and now the promotional clip of the upcoming movie is shown.

Five minutes flew by.

The entire screening hall suddenly darkened, and the noise of the crowd whispering in the venue immediately disappeared.

The familiar prelude sounded, and the dragon logo of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television appeared on the screen.

Then there is the logo of the Youth Film Studio.

Next, the picture is white, and then slowly freezes.

A high school uniform with ink spots on its back appears in front of everyone.
