Chapter 114: Preview Screening
The test screening will be held in the small theater of Beijing Film Studio, Su Changqing has cooperated with Beijing Film Studio for a long time, so he naturally has to invite many acquaintances.
Even Du Keke is still from the Beijing Film Studio, although she has her own Tianyan Studio, but the compilation has always been in the Beijing Film Studio, and now many procedures for making movies must be hung up in a factory, how can she give up resources.
In addition, Director Han, who has just taken office for a long time, must also have a good relationship, and in a few years, he will be the leader of China Film, and Su Changqing solemnly left him the best position.
Because of Pu Cunxian's reasons, a group of old drama bones from Renyi came to the scene to guide, and Hu Ji also came, seeing Su Changqing's unexpected enthusiasm, and there was no intention of alienation.
"You must have shown it to me, you are so happy to live without being with Lao Tzu?"
Ximen Xiong brought Ding Jialuo and a few mysterious friends, and a group of people sat in the back row away from everyone, it seemed that they were just watching the play of the No. 2 male lead, and they didn't plan to socialize.
Liu Bei, who has a wide range of contacts, didn't bring anyone to try it out, there are too many people in all aspects of the scene, and many people in Beijing are not all the way, they can't touch each other, she understands this very well, and doesn't want to make trouble.
Mu Mu and Liu Yufei both graduated, and they all officially signed a contract with Siwei, and sat together with Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, Dou Wei and a large number of their own people to fill in the seats.
Han Changchang and Melulan Dora have not yet arrived, so they can only wait patiently, and Su Changqing is busy socializing.
An old director of Beijing Film Studio asked him: "I don't know what to shoot for your film, the Taiping business war?
Industry insiders don't care about spoilers, Su Changqing roughly introduced the plot.
It is difficult to explain the mentality, and many people are not optimistic on the spot.
"It sounds like a zombie movie blended with a road movie, chasing and fleeing all the way, two buckets of popcorn falling together, and the pattern is probably a big deal. ”
"I share the same fears, zombies are either in official uniforms or rags, bouncing and slow, can they blend in with the tense road movie?"
Road movies aren't all chases and fights, but zombies are indeed very slow to move, either jumping on tiptoe or stiffening their joints like walking dead trees.
"The key is the pattern, Xiao Su, it's not that you have to make a realistic film, but you are also a director who has won international awards year after year, how did you become a mere sensory stimulation?"
Old comrades have to be respected, and they must be upright here, but they should defend themselves modestly, otherwise they will be arrogant if they can't talk anymore: "In fact, I also try to integrate various elements such as love, family affection and human nature, and the form is just a carrier. ”
"It's not good to have a hodgepodge, if you want to shoot entertainment, it's pure entertainment, and it's suspected of being tricky if you mix too many private goods. ”
"I thought that our generation was generally literate, and it turned out that young people still yearn for literacy, but don't make it indecent. ”
Who is civilized, why are you so literate?
Finally, someone was upset about Su Changqing: "You old guys are talking hard, Director Su is still young, although he has insufficient experience, he has the courage to try, I am more worried about the current atmosphere in the film and television industry, and he has begun to introduce Hollywood blockbusters. ”
This is a buttoned hat, is it particularly uneven?
Du Keke reminded Su Changqing before he came: "Some people in the director's office of our factory have never had the opportunity to make serious movies in their lives, and they are very resentful, don't offend this kind of person, otherwise you will get a rope and hang yourself at your door in the middle of the night." ”
At the appointed time, Director Han and Melulan Dora both came on the front and back.
Director Han is very concerned about this film: "I heard that you have negotiated a strategic cooperation with a Hollywood distributor, and this film is going to land in North America?"
Su Changqing was very modest: "I have this plan, try to go out, this Ms. Melulan Dora has done a lot of work before and after." ”
At present, the cultural market is facing huge uncertainties, so it is better to simplify the problem.
Melulan Dora was a little inexplicable, she didn't expect Su Changqing to attribute this cooperation to her, but she couldn't shirk it for a while, and she couldn't reveal that he had taken the copyright in exchange.
When the film began to be screened, Director Han stood up and said to the back: "This is a test screening of the film, you can discuss it during the screening, but don't smoke." ”
Hearing this, a few people pinched their cigarette butts.
"Taiping" is fast-paced, at the beginning of the film, a deer is hit and killed, and within two seconds it struggles to get up, and suddenly its eyes turn gray.
Su Changqing noticed that Director Han and Melulan Dora beside him instinctively straightened their waists.
Although they are all people who have read countless films, the concept of film production is twenty years ahead of the times, and the breakthrough is obvious, which is easy to shock.
The narrative that follows is relatively flat, but the voiceover and environment continue to accumulate a certain ominous atmosphere.
When the train was about to start, the girl who was chasing after her suddenly changed, like a struggling fish fluttering on the ground, and then swooped down on the stunned conductor, Rao is an insider, and many people let out an exclamation.
There is a threshold for sensory stimulation, and people nowadays are undoubtedly relatively low, unlike people in the information age, who have been bombarded by countless waves since childhood.
followed with a series of climaxes, and Director Han gave a comment after watching it for less than ten minutes: "You are really a good movie." ”
Whether it's a rotten egg or not, you will know when you bite into it.
When the flight attendants rushed into the carriage and began to bite, the passengers were stunned, no one resisted, and no one even fled.
Someone in the back seat shouted: "Run, why are you so stupid!"
Someone argued: "Who can react to this, and I will be stunned for a while if I change it." ”
"It's just that you can't assume that everyone has seen this zombie and knows that disaster is coming, and you must always be ready to escape. ”
This kind of zombie has not been seen by anyone in the movie, and none of the people here have seen it.
Su Changqing inherited all the essence of the original film, and portrayed people's incompetence and vulnerability in the face of disasters.
This kind of large-scale performance is actually difficult, you have to make the audience feel that the characters in the film are instantly out of the line in the face of sudden disasters, stupid and deservingly unlucky, but more real and believable, and at the same time, you must pay attention to the heat, and if you are not careful, you will become a third-rate horror film.
When the zombies came like a tide, Melulan Dora obviously blended into the atmosphere and glanced at Su Changqing with some horror: "You're going to kill everyone?"
In the second half of the movie, Zhou Xun escaped with his handsome little boyfriend, but unfortunately bumped into a middle-aged bad uncle and was pulled to his back and became a zombie.
The little boyfriend faced Zhou Xun, who was bitten to death, didn't fight with the middle-aged uncle, didn't even look at him, just sat down with her in his arms and burst into tears.
Someone shouted again: "What the hell, rush up and kill the dead fat man to take revenge!"
"That's it, is the director stupid, how can his girlfriend be so virtuous!"
However, the little boyfriend never moved, until Zhou Xun turned into a zombie and bit his throat mercilessly and was martyred.
Everyone fell silent for an instant.
"Just dead?"
"It's still dead, if I change and suddenly realize that I love someone deeply, and I lose it in a blink of an eye, what's the point of living......"
"Yes, he is not afraid, but he does not want to run away, and he does not want to live. ”
"This film is also about the dualism of good and evil in human nature, and it is too sensational, I can't stand it. ”
"Then you probably don't understand. ”
"Why don't you understand!"
