Chapter 204: Screening

Don't think that Zhang Yuanjun's reputation as the first student in the mainland is so good.

In the eyes of an international manufacturer like Mercedes-Benz, Zhang Yuanjun is their tool man.

Pay attention to it, but if you want Mercedes-Benz to change its marketing strategy or upgrade the contract for Zhang Yuanjun, you don't even think about it.

Mercedes-Benz even suspected that this play was directed and acted by Zhang Yuanjun.

Can't afford a car Mercedes Benz?

But Mercedes won't do that.

They held a two-hour meeting overnight, and the coping strategy they came up with was only four words - let it go.

Let Zhang Yuanjun drive his Volvo around the world, Mercedes-Benz doesn't care at all.

And judging from the information currently communicated, Zhang Yuanjun's Volvo was bought before and after he graduated last year, and after turning over the news of the past year, the appearance rate of this car is very high, and there should be no threat drama directed and acted by Zhang Yuanjun.

Besides, how can there be such a stupid person, sign a contract on the first day, and play this set on the second day, without pretending for a few days?

Since Mercedes-Benz doesn't care, Zhang Yuanjun has nothing to say, what should be done or what.

So much so that a week later, Zhang Yuanjun re-met the relevant staff of Mercedes-Benz because of the shooting of an advertisement, and both parties tacitly agreed not to mention this matter.

This advertisement is said to be a blockbuster, but in fact, the big thing is in the product, Zhang Yuanjun, as the spokesperson, just sit and talk.

Zhang Yuanjun sat in their 4S shop, sat opposite a person, and then read his own lines:

"You can't resist this attraction. Wow, the feeling of cornering is beautiful. It's so powerful, it's so perfect, it's like we're all in one. Don't believe me? You can try it too. After speaking, Zhang Yuanjun put a key on the table.

Zhang Yuanjun read this passage five times to facilitate post-editing, and then it was over.

From Zhang Yuanjun sitting down to his finishing, it was only 20 minutes in total.

"Okay, it's over." The advertising director shouted.

After filming the video advertisement, Zhang Yuanjun had to shoot the promotional poster outdoors with the real car.

All the filming work was completed in one day, and the brand told Zhang Yuanjun that the advertisement would be launched nationwide after the National Day, and the new car would be released in November, when Zhang Yuanjun needed to go to the scene to stand for the brand.

On the 23rd, the penultimate day of the Shanghai Film Festival, Zhang Yuanjun finally came to the magic capital.

Since the opening of the film festival on the 16th, Zhang Yuanjun has been in the capital and has no time to look south, and he came here today for nothing else, "Buried Alive" will be screened at the film festival, and he, as the leading actor, must be present.

The movie tickets were sold out by Zhang Yuanjun's fans as early as three days ago.

Many peers will also go to the screening site to watch the movie today, this is the first appearance of "Buried Alive" in China, and peers are more curious, why did this 20-year-old enter Hollywood.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the film began to be screened on time.

Zhang Yuanjun sat in the front row, with Cheng Long on the left, film director Rodrigo Cortez on the right, and insiders such as Fan Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming in the past.

It didn't feel very good to watch himself act, and he was very awkward, so he was very uncomfortable sitting there, and from time to time he would find a conversation and talk to Cheng Long.

Cheng Long naturally saw the reason why he was restless, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about you, I still feel awkward when I watch myself acting on the screen now." I think I can play better, and I think it will be better if I deal with it differently. But I'm not as serious as you are now, don't worry, this feeling will get smaller and smaller if you play more. โ€

After Cheng Long finished speaking, he watched "Buried Alive", and whispered with Zhang Yuanjun while watching it.

Director Rodrigo Cortez saw his idol Cheng Long, and he didn't have a chance to talk to him.

Cheng Long even joked: "I can actually play such a role." โ€

In terms of age, it is not impossible for 53-year-old Cheng Long to act in "Buried Alive", and this movie has no requirements for the age of the protagonist.

But Zhang Yuanjun said: "The whole world wants to see you fight. โ€

Cheng Long smiled and asked him how he came up with the idea of "Buried Alive".

Zhang Cheng and the two were talking to each other, and Huang Xiaoming on Cheng Long's side was scratching his ears and cheeks.

finally sat down with Brother Cheng Long, but Cheng Long only talked to Zhang Yuanjun. He can only focus on the big screen.

Although Zhang Yuanjun is his younger brother, 8 years younger than him, in media reports, the two are both young actors.

There is strong competition.

For example, Mercedes-Benz endorsed him a while ago, Mercedes-Benz considered him, but finally chose Zhang Yuanjun.

Pushing it further, Pepsi endorsed it in April, and Pepsi also considered him and Zhang Yuanjun at the same time, but this time he won.

Huang Xiaoming watched Zhang Yuanjun's performance in "Buried Alive", he was shocked, this scene was filmed last year, Zhang Yuanjun was 21 years old.

Huang Xiaoming asked himself if he could act like on the big screen when he was 21 years old, and the sense of despair was too real physiologically.

It was as if Zhang Yuanjun was really trapped in that coffin.

Of course, this is due to the fact that the director made this sense of realism, but it is also necessary to see that the actors performed this sense of realism.

However, Huang Xiaoming was shocked, but he didn't feel that he was inferior to Zhang Yuanjun at all, and thought to himself: "Give me time to prepare, I won't be worse than him in this kind of play." โ€

But he had a very struggling question in his heart: "If such a role is given to me, can I sacrifice my image like him and make myself disgraced?" โ€

Zhang Yuanjun debuted with a knife to return to the sea, and then Yang Guo, both roles are handsome guys, and they also attracted the first batch of fans for Zhang Yuanjun, but Zhang Yuanjun turned his head and didn't want to be imaged, and played a not-so-good-looking Li Jiahui, who went one step further in "Buried Alive", Johnยท Yong is a very embarrassed character, and when he has an emotional breakdown, he has a lot of snot and tears, and he has no image at all.

Huang Xiaoming was asking himself in his heart whether he could abandon his image to play this kind of role.

He didn't know how to answer himself.

The 95-minute film was quickly screened, and the audience gave a lot of face-saving applause.

In the brief sharing after the screening, the reporter first asked director Rodrigo Cortez what preparations he had made for "Buried Alive".

Rodrigo told reporters through an interpreter: "We made 7 very unique coffins in the preparation stage, each of which was prepared for the convenience of the camera, and we put a lot of effort into these 7 coffins. There is also the fact that Zhang locked himself in a small secret room before the start of filming, lacking water and food. The feeling of Yong being trapped in a coffin, Zhang has given a lot to the play. โ€

In the audience, many people, including Huang Xiaoming, realized this.

"With a role like this, I can do it too." More than one actor in the audience thought so.

In China, it is Zhang Yuanjun's home field, and he must be the main one, and Rodrigo Cortez also understands, and keeps exaggerating Yuanjun at the exchange meeting: "He is a very good actor, and he will definitely make his career in Hollywood." โ€

Of course, Zhang Yuanjun has to praise back, although he is an investor and a starring actor, no one can deny the director's credit.

"Will "Buried Alive" be introduced to China?"

This really stopped Zhang Yuanjun, but he still said: "It should be screened in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan first, and when it will be released in the mainland, I don't know much for the time being." โ€

As an actor, he doesn't have to answer about the release and screening, domestic screenings, naturally have China Film and Huayi to worry about.

However, the domestic release of "Buried Alive" did encounter some resistance.

At the end of the activity of "Buried Alive", Zhang Yuanjun withdrew, and he will not participate in the closing ceremony tomorrow, because he has received a notice from Yu Feihong that the rainy season in Yunnan Province has passed, and the crew is ready to return to Yunnan Province to start filming.
