Chapter 169: Preview Screening
When "Crazy Stone" premiered in Beijing, because the word-of-mouth of the previous small-scale test screening was fermented very well, it attracted many celebrity guests to the platform.
Zhang Yuanjun was busy with the graduation ceremony, so he didn't go again.
In the current film market, except for Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, there is no director who can make money at the box office.
The loss of money in "Wu Ji" has damaged director Chen Kaige's golden body, but his status in the rivers and lakes is still stable, and investors still believe in him - there is no other director worth believing - I heard that the director is soliciting scripts to re-prove himself, and I don't know what kind of story it will be.
Therefore, when "Crazy Stone" won nearly 2 million box office in the first weekend at a cost of 3 million, it was called "no small miracle" by the media.
Even better, the website bluntly said, "July is a 'crazy' July!" ”
There are too few movies that can make money now, so every movie that can make money will be touted by the media, and every director who can make money will be followed by investors.
"Crazy Stone" has huge profit prospects, and it has taught a lesson to those who opposed Zhang Yuanjun's investment at the beginning.
"Really making money?!"
This is the first investment the studio has made, and it is a good sign that it has been profitable since it opened.
Zhang Yuanjun doesn't blame them, "Crazy Stone" doesn't even dare to bet on Zhongying, what can others see.
""Stone" can be profitable, so our "Rise to Fame" is not a problem." In the end, it is biological.
"It's still more than a month, who can say for sure." There are quite a few people who remain sober.
The madness of "Stone" made Ning Hao completely raise his eyebrows.
"Incense" and "Green Meadow" did not sell for money, before filming "Stone", Ning Hao was holding back his strength and must make a money-making movie.
After 2 million in the first weekend, when the second week of the release of "Stone" was settled, the total box office was already "high" to 6 million!
Up!
It can be seen how precious a movie that sells money is to the market now.
That is, on the Thursday of the third week of the release of "Stone", the crew of "Rise to Fame" officially started the small-scale publicity before the screening.
The first action was to organize a star viewing party in the Huaxia screening room of Beijing Film Studio.
Industry celebrities are invited to watch the movie in advance, including reporters, film critics, choreographers, and celebrity guests.
Mr. Tian's name is still very useful.
The screening hall was full of more than 30 people.
There are not so many processes for watching films in the industry, and Director Tian Zhuangzhuang acted as the host and spoke modestly and began to show movies to everyone.
"Rise to Fame" satirizes many people as a comedy.
Journalists who receive money to write film reviews.
A popular actor who lives by playing mahjong with Mrs. Kuo.
A famous director who has made bad movies all his life but is proud.
In Hollywood, he is a nobody who is beaten every day and has a blue nose and swollen face, and returns to China to pretend to be a kung fu superstar.
It can be said that none of the protagonists of "Rise to Fame" are clean.
Zhang Yuanjun is now sitting in the middle of this group of reporters, actors, directors, and producers, and he is still a little drumming in his heart.
What if they read "Rise to Fame" and think I wrote about them, what if they turn against me?
Zheng Qianli was sarcastic about Wang Jing, he didn't care at all, there was no need to talk about this.
But the two characters of Li Jiahui and Chen Xiaoda are a bit too ironic.
However, the irony of "Rise to Fame" is not profound, it is not so much sarcasm as "he used to do this".
Lee Ka-fai received money to write film reviews, but this did not affect his bravery and wisdom in solving the case.
Zheng Qianli made bad movies, but he also protected Li Jiahui and Guan Jingnian.
Lu Ziye was not bad, and finally took a few people out of the country and sponsored them to make a movie.
It can be said that the satire of "Rise to Fame" does not run through the movie, and these things that are satirized are only the surface of the characters.
People with a little experience and open-mindedness should not be obsessed with the irony of a comedy movie...... Right?
During the two-hour movie, more than 30 guests laughed one after another.
At the end of the feature film, the subtitles came out, and applause rang out in the corner of the screening room, and then the audience erupted in warm applause.
Mr. Tian stood up from the front row, took the microphone and smiled at his colleagues: "Actually, the movie is not over yet, there are still behind." ”
"Hahaha." There was a burst of laughter.
It really corresponds to the sentence in the film, "When the end is over, even the subtitles are gone, and I still have content." ”
This is Zhang Yuanjun's idea, everyone walks on the streets of Vietnam, and the feature film is over.
The easter egg clip is this part of the original hanging photo.
Until the final easter egg was also played, applause rang out again.
"This movie doesn't look like Mr. Tian's style at all."
"This book was written by that student Zhang Yuanjun."
"No wonder you say that."
There was already a discussion in the audience.
Because it is a test screening in the industry, there are no formal exchanges and interviews on site.
It's just that everyone will do some simple communication at the buffet tea party after the screening.
Zhang Yuanjun's nervousness is no less than that of director Tian Zhuangzhuang, this is Tian Zhuangzhuang's first commercial film, and it is also his first work to enter the big screen, the significance is self-evident.
"You're kind of interesting." Xia Yu was eating a small piece of watermelon, "It's fun." ”
"I'm afraid critics and journalists won't buy it." Zhang Yuanjun drank tea, "I talk about people like that in the movie, can people say good things about me?" ”
"That's a problem, too." Xia Yu said.
Over there, the famous film critic Zhou Liming was laughing with Teacher Xie Xiaojing.
"This movie sells well, and it's not worse than the current "Stone".
"Is Xiao Zhang really from the acting department? Not from the Department of Literature? ”
"I just graduated from the acting department this year." Xie Xiaojing said with a smile.
"The book is very solidly written, not like a novice at all." Zhou Liming praised.
"He was worried that you would mind his sarcasm."
"I think it's good and funny. If comedy starts singing praises, then why do you need comedy? If you can't swallow even this bit of sarcasm, then don't do it in this circle. "Zhou Liming has been a film critic for decades and has seen everything.
The self-service tea party lasted for half an hour, and after half an hour, the guests began to leave the venue in an orderly manner.
"The movie is good."
"Very good acting, come on."
"We'll report it as it is."
"The release results are definitely not bad."
"I'll invite you when I'm free."
Magically, the vast majority of film critics and reporters received red envelopes from the crew.
How can it be said that it is a benefit fee, this is called a carriage fee, and it is okay to say that it is a tea fee.
This is a necessary promotional expenditure for the film.
That's the rule in this industry.
At the tea party just now, Zhang Yuanjun heard a lot of good words, and his heart settled down a lot.
At the end of today's test screening, Zhang Yuanjun went home to rest.
This Sunday, there will be a small-scale test screening of "Rise to Fame" in Beijing.
Next week, a media viewing will also be held in the magic capital.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yuanjun rushed to the magic capital to prepare for the start of "Animal World".
