Chapter 318: Test Screening

It was not in vain that the whole crew helped Luo Jin chase Tang Yan, and after Luo Jin took Tang Yan to watch a concert by Ren Xianqi, the two were together very smoothly.

In the month since returning to the crew, the two have basically not hidden it in front of people.

Zhang Yuanjun also joked to Luo Jin: "How are you going to thank me this time?" ”

"You say, as long as I can do it." Luo Jin is now only looking at Zhang Yuanjun.

Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think of it." ”

Zhang Yuanjun didn't think about how to repay Luo Jin.

On the first day of February, "Introduction to Architecture" was held in the screening hall of the Film Academy, and some media and industry professionals were invited to watch the film in advance.

Zhang Yuanjun was present to help, and some of the main creators of "Snow Leopard" were also present to support.

Compared with Liu Yifei, the actor Luo Jin is more nervous.

This isn't his first male lead film, but it's his most-watched film so far – because the heroine is Liu Yifei, of course.

It is also the movie that is most likely to open up the situation in the circle.

Of course he was nervous.

Because it was a small test screening viewing party, the crew did not invite a professional host, Zhong Lifang, general manager of Pony Pictures, one of the producers, made a cameo appearance as the host, chatted about the process of making this movie together with Pony and Weibo, thanked the guests for their support, and then announced that the film would be screened.

The introduction to architecture is 116 minutes long, and the story of the hero and heroine is divided into two lines: youth and middle age.

Four people, two lines, the stories are almost parallel, and each person's role is very full.

This kind of narrative technique is often used in literary films, or suspense dramas, and romance films rarely use this kind of double-line narrative.

Before watching the movie, many guests had a question in their hearts: Why didn't Zhang Yuanjun act in this play? Isn't it a bigger gimmick for him and Liu Yifei to act?

But after 116 minutes, their doubts ceased.

The people who came to watch the movie today were all professional film practitioners, and after watching it, they felt that Zhang Yuanjun really couldn't act in "Introduction to Architecture".

This movie focuses on Liu Yifei, and the plot and photography also focus on setting off her youthful beauty.

This means that the actor can't overshadow her, and he can't even find someone who is too handsome, and the screenwriter even wrote a line in the film:

"He used to be ugly, and he didn't have much female popularity."

"Hehe, he's the same now."

It was the right choice for Luo Jin.

Zhang Yuanjun is also watching a finished film for the first time, and he feels that he has done a good job, but it is not so much a pure love film as a youth film.

Han Yan depicts in detail the social situation in the late 80s, that is, when the hero and heroine went to college, which is easy to evoke memories for the audience.

But the description in this regard is probably the producer's shot, which controls the weight well, and there is no noise, and the focus is on the relationship between the two protagonists.

After watching the movie, the director took the leading actors to the stage to thank them and communicate with the guests.

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up when she talked about filming in her hometown Jiangcheng: "Our crew filmed in Jiangcheng throughout the whole process, and I felt very cordial as soon as I returned to Jiangcheng, and I was very relaxed when filming." ”

Luo Jin smiled: "I'm not easy, there are a lot of Jiangcheng elements in the movie, in order to film, I have to learn a few words of Jiangcheng dialect." ”

At a test screening like this, everyone knows to say good things, and the media and film critics praise "Introduction to Architecture" as very good.

"Before I came, I was worried that the movie would spill dog blood," Zhou Li said, "but the director shot very restrainedly, whether it is the ambiguity of the youth campus or the small fear of people facing feelings in middle age, they all handle it very well." ”

Gu Xiaobai said: "I agree with what Mr. Zhou just said, the scale is very good, but there are all the elements that should be available, it is a very sincere and high-level youth romance film." ”

Zhang Yuanjun also pretended to stand up seriously and express his opinion: "It's really very good." I was very moved after reading it. ”

Liu Yifei asked: "Is it only moving?" What are you touched? ”

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "You have a bit of an inch." ”

"Hahahaha-" The audience laughed.

In a separate interview after the movie, Liu Yifei and Luo Jin both admitted frankly that they were very satisfied with the guests, and their hanging hearts were finally put down.

was asked about the new film that will be launched soon, Liu Yifei's eyebrows danced: "It will be launched next month, and it will still be a love film." ”

"Time and Space Traveler" has been approved by the General Administration, with four producers: China Film Group, Zhang Yuanjun Studio, Pony Pictures and Maoyan Pictures.

"How was it like to be a producer for the first time?"

"It's so hard." Liu Yifei complained to reporters with a smile, "There are too many things to do." ”

Speaking of "Introduction to Architecture", the reporter asked her about her expectations for the box office, but she didn't accept it, which should not have been answered by actors, and this question should have been asked more to the producer and director.

She only said: "Of course I hope that the movie can be liked by a lot of audiences, and the box office will be handed over to the audience." ”

The report of the movie viewing party came out that night, and in addition to the praise of "Introduction to Architecture", "Time and Space Traveler" was also promoted in advance.

“…… Talking about the new film that is about to start, Liu Yifei seemed very happy, saying that when she read the script of "Time and Space Traveler", she was very warm and gratified, and felt all the beauty of love, "Thank you very much to the screenwriter". This made reporters more interested in the new film, but Liu Yifei refused to reveal more information. ”

After the movie, Liu Yifei and Luo Jin will go to various places to carry out advance publicity.

Fortunately, Luo Jin's role was almost filmed, and his departure did not have much impact on the crew's filming.

But it's a pity that Liu Yifei can't accompany Zhang Yuanjun to celebrate the New Year in the crew this year.

The crew of "Snow Leopard" is going well, and according to the current progress, it should be completed ahead of schedule.

At the same time, Zhang Yuanjun told the crew of "Snow Leopard" about the progress of the crew of "Time and Space Lover", and asked them to step up preparations for the start-up, and if they could advance it, he must fly to the United States in mid-May to start "Never-ending".

Liu Yifei worked very hard in the early promotion of "Introduction to Architecture", although Zhang Yuanjun told her that there was not much pressure to return to the cost of this film, she still wanted to pull as much box office as possible to prove herself.

After all, this is also her first heroine movie.

In addition, the industry actually expressed unprecedented pessimism about the February file, especially the Spring Festival file in the middle of the month, because "Avatar", which has been released for more than a month, is now maintaining a weekly income of 80 million to 100 million, and the entire domestic film market is lifeless.

Also, "Love in the City" and "Introduction to Architecture" are in the same romance film genre, and they are also all-star casts, and the two films are only three days apart, which is bound to crash.

This makes Liu Yifei under a lot of pressure and more serious in publicity.

"The new film is about to be released, Sister Fairy has been under a lot of pressure recently, this film from filming to publicity, the main focus is on her alone, it's okay to say that if the film loses money, the investors will not be able to explain it. Although it is a small cost, and there is no loss to lose, but after all, this is the first movie she carried alone, and it is also the first film released after the official announcement of her and the actor. Many intending producers are also waiting for the results of "Introduction to Architecture" to rate Sister Fairy. ”
