Of course, this kind of venue is also an occasion for social gatherings.

In the ten or twenty minutes vacated before the film was screened after the guests were seated, Han Sanping, chairman of China Film Group, the domestic introduction and distributor of "Inception", delivered a speech, and Tong Gang, director of the General Administration, also delivered a brief speech.

Both leaders said that the investment of Chinese capital in "Inception" is an important step for Chinese film capital to go global.

Leonardo sat down and didn't say he didn't understand, he didn't know why the two were talking about the partnership between Chinese and American films at the premiere of a movie - such a commercial occasion, is there a direct relationship between the two?

"Zhang, who are the two people who just spoke?" Leonardo turned his head sideways and asked Zhang Yuanjun.

How do you explain it to Leonardo?

Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while and said: "The first person to speak is that he is the chairman of China's largest film company, and he is mainly responsible for the distribution of "Inception" in China. ”

"Oh, big boss."

"Yes." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, and Han Dong was also right when he said this, "The second thing to speak is that he is an official, the director of the Film Bureau. ”

Although there is no department similar to the Film Bureau in the United States, Leon has traveled all over the world and must know such a thing as the Film Bureau. ”

If it weren't for the fact that there were reporters at the scene, they would be afraid of the artists' expressions, and the creators of "Inception" would not want to watch the movie again.

From the in-group test screening of the finished film to the world premiere in London to the Hollywood premiere to the present, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Yuanjun now wants to sleep when he sees the word Inception appear on the screen.

I believe that the same is true for Leonardo and Liu Yifei.

Therefore, in the 148-minute movie, Zhang Yuanjun and Leon whispered for 40 minutes, chatted with his girlfriend for an hour, and thought about the preparation of the new film for more than half an hour in a daze at the screen, and when he came back to his senses and looked at the big screen again, he happened to see Cobb waking up on the plane.

The movie is almost over.

When Warner's WB logo was finally lit up, the audience, guests, and media burst into warm applause and whistles.

"Thank you all for watching, the film screening is over, and now I invite the creators of "Inception" to the stage." The moderator said.

Four directors and actors took the stage, three actors, and each of them had fans frantically shouting their names offstage.

The protagonists of today's premiere are actually Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, and it is useless for Leonardo to come.

Because Chinese people really don't have a Jack filter, those who know know that he is an international superstar, and those who don't know think he is a strange uncle.

What about Iron Man and Spider-Man coming to China together, not obediently standing aside.

But the organizers didn't snub Leon and Nolan, but in the interview session, there will be more shots for Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei.

For example, the host asked Leonardo and Nolan what it was like to work with a Chinese actor for the first time.

The answer of the two is very normal to praise the business, praise the two for their dedication, good performance, etc.

Of course, the same question also gave Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei: "What is the mood of filming with Leonardo." ”

Zhang Yuanjun asked Liu Yifei to say first, and Liu Yifei said: "I am very excited, I asked him for an autograph and a group photo on the first day I joined the group." ”

The host praised it: "Yifei is also a success in chasing stars." ”

Zhang Yuanjun was "unhappy" and said to Liu Yifei: "I'm still here, in front of me, you can restrain yourself." ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Yifei smiled first.

Leonardo had experienced so much of this affection that he would not react to it now.

Zhang Yuanjun chose another angle to praise the crew: "I admire the imagination and execution of the crew, the explosion scene between Yifei and Leon drinking coffee on the streets of Paris in the movie is a real shot, not a special effect." In fact, many of the shots you watch are shot in real life, and "Inception" only has 500 special effects shots. ”

This doesn't seem to be appropriate for him as an actor, but Zhang Yuanjun mainly praised the crew: "I watched the director's actual shooting on the spot, and I was shocked." Because the real shooting actually helps the actors to perform, and the use of CG on a large area of green screen is a harm to the actors, I think the director respects the actors' acting skills very much when he shoots as much as possible. ”

This is also an important reason why even if Marvel sweeps the world, Zhang Yuanjun still can't look down on it.

Marvel's aggressive use of green screens and special effects is a very harmful way to the actors' acting skills.

Downey's performance in films other than Marvel cannot be said to be bad, but at least it will make professionals feel that he is not suitable and that this discomfort is reflected in the flaws of his performance.

Zhang Yuanjun continued: "Chris uses real shooting to pursue the realism of shooting, and at the same time, it also gives us a sense of realism for actors, we don't have to be like other science fiction films, to the air, or to a piece of green cloth to act that I am watching the sunrise." ”

Through the translation, Nolan and Leonardo understood what Zhang Yuanjun meant, and nodded in agreement.

In the end, Zhang Yuanjun shook his wit: "Later, I was thinking about what Chris would do if he made a monster movie." ”

Nolan and Leonardo couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Nolan picked up the microphone and began to set up a flag: "Don't worry, I'll find a way to shoot it." ”

The hour-long post-screening exchange ended quickly.

Zhang Yuanjun also finally saw the repertoire - asking foreigners whether they have eaten local food, whether they have visited local scenic spots, and what their impression of China (fans) is - it seems that every time he interviews foreigners, these questions will be asked.

After tonight's event, Nolan and Leonardo will fly away early tomorrow morning, but Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei will start domestic publicity.

Because the entire "Inception" crew is the two of them in China, they can't split up to publicize, and besides, the two of them combine to promote and sprinkle dog food, which is much better than running a single person to publicize the effect.

Mr. and Mrs. Nolan and Leonardo did not even attend the reception dinner of China Film after the premiere, and they all said that they would go back to the hotel to rest.

And Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei must participate, and if they leave, who is this dinner for?

Zhang Yuanjun is clinking glasses with Yu Dong.

Yu Dong helped him sell "Inception", and said bluntly: "When the time comes, we will announce that you will star in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and you will win the first part of the promotion." ”

Isn't this how the actor's fame is used, Zhang Yuanjun didn't care at all, but asked Yu Dong: "Mr. Yu, who is the heroine Ling Yanqiu?" It looks like it will be up in two months. Zhang Yuanjun still doesn't know who plays Ling Yanqiu, whether he asked the Berner staff or the crew, he said that he was undecided.

"It's hard to determine." Yu Dong began to lie, "We are still choosing, and we are trying to announce it together with the actor list." ”

After Yu Dong left, Jiang Zhiqiang came to have a drink. "Lonely Agent" made him a lot of money, and he now looks at Zhang Yuanjun like a walking money printing machine.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "At that time, "Lonely Agent" came to Hong Kong to invest, and it was Mr. Jiang who gave me money against public opinion, and you were also a lonely hero." ”

Jiang Zhiqiang likes to listen to this, and promised: "In the future, there will be a shortage of money to make films, just tell me." ”

"It must be, I will inevitably trouble you in the future."

On the other side, Liu Yifei met Hong Kong Island director Chen Jiashang, and Chen Jiashang was painting cakes for her:

"I'm making a martial arts film, and I think you're particularly suitable for the heroine."
