Chapter 233 Screening
As the lights above dimmed, the title sequence of Huayi Huanxing, which was learned from Paramount, slowly rose.
When the two kings and the senior executives saw this, they all nodded secretly.
Xu Kun and Hua Yi each paid RMB 5 million for this movie. Hua Yi's title title will definitely be included when it is released. However, Xu Kun's initiative to add Hua Yi's title title in the first cut is still very useful to Huayi's people.
Because it was a first-cut version, subtitles introducing the main creative staff had not yet been added. After the opening credits of Huayi ended, it went directly to the main topic.
At this time, apart from Xu Kun and Bao Qiang, the most uneasy person present was Qin Lan. She subconsciously held Huo Siyan's hand beside her, but found that Huo Siyan's palm was also wet.
Qin Lan was stunned for a moment, and then felt that it was natural.
Huo Siyan was Xu Kun's rumored girlfriend after all, and the two did have an intimate relationship. Even though they are now drifting apart, they still can't completely let go of their old lover.
However, Qin Lan only guessed half of it right. Although Huo Siyan was not completely relieved about Xu Kun, he still had conflicting emotions in his heart.
She both hopes that Xu Kun's movie will be successful, but she also doesn't want Xu Kun's movie to be a big success.
Only if Xu Kun's movie is successful can she continue to pretend to be a tiger in Huayi; but if Xu Kun's movie is a big success, wouldn't it prove that her original approach of hedging her bets and even drifting away from Xu Kun was completely wrong A joke? !
As for Xiong Naijin on the other side, he was just here to join in the fun.
But she is also the one who has the most confidence in Xu Kun among the female stars, because she has just witnessed with her own eyes not long ago the whole process of Gan Min going from obscurity to becoming famous overnight under Xu Kun's remote control.
I heard from Gan Min that CCTV has bought the broadcasting rights of "See Words Like Faces" and it is expected that it will be officially broadcast on CCTV One as CCTV's first variety show after the year.
By then, Gan Min's reputation will surely reach a higher level.
Normally, when the two little sisters talk about Brother Kun, they are as if they are looking up at a mountain. Now that Brother Kun spent most of his family wealth to make a movie, how could it be bad?
Li Bingbing was a little absent-minded, and once again recalled the scene when he first met Xu Kun.
Who could have thought that the second person nicknamed by the crew as the "Xiaoyao King" would develop to this level in just a few years?
And according to what Xu Kun just said, if this movie becomes popular, it will be equivalent to a "new path". By then, Xu Kun will surely soar into the sky and reach unprecedented heights.
Remembering that Li Xiaolu wanted to hire him to shave Fan Bingbing's hair into a male and female head, Li Bingbing subconsciously looked at Fan Bingbing, only to see that Fan Bingbing was staring at the screen intently, with an unconscious expression from the corner of his mouth. A charming angle.
Li Bingbing has seen this expression a lot, and he must be holding back some bad news!
Could it be that he wanted to trip up Xu Kun?
She shouldn't be that stupid, right?
Of course, Fan Bingbing does not want to cause trouble for Xu Kun, but is thinking about cooperating with Xu Kun. However, whether he wants to cooperate and to what extent depends on the quality of the film. .
While everyone had different thoughts, the plot of the movie gradually advanced, and soon it came to the fateful encounter between Meng Hao and Niu Geng at the airport.
When I saw the burdock played by Bao Qiang drinking a large can of milk in anger, sporadic laughter rang out in the theater, but it quickly subsided.
This made Bao Qiang, who was secretly observing everyone's performance, very frustrated, and at the same time a little puzzled and self-doubtful. This was obviously the biggest laugh point in the play, so why didn't everyone laugh?
Is there something wrong with my performance?
Brother Ke Kun clearly said...
Xu Kun, who was sitting in the center of the front row, didn't think there was anything wrong with this. People in Huayi were watching the movie for the purpose of scrutiny, and their emotional involvement was naturally far inferior to that of ordinary viewers.
Therefore, although the movie is full of jokes, the screening room can only hear a few sporadic laughs at most. Most of the time it is relatively quiet, and occasionally there are a few whispers.
It was not until the small hotel that Meng Hao, played by Xu Kun, entered the wrong room and was beaten as an adulterer, and then the theater burst into laughter.
This is not because Xu Kun's smile outweighs Baoqiang's, but because these business elites are better able to take on the perspective of real estate boss Meng Hao than the milkmaid Niu Geng.
And after this burst of laughter, it seemed as if some kind of seal had been broken, and there was obviously more laughter next.
After the happy ending of the New Year's Eve dinner, the scene suddenly changed again, showing an Easter egg showing Liu Shishi being tasked with interviewing Meng Hao, and then gradually dimmed.
Snap~
The lights in the screening room were turned back on.
Wang Zhongjun stood up first and motioned Xu Kun to stand on the stage. Seeing this, the others also stood up one after another, and then, led by Wang Zhongjun, a burst of thunderous applause broke out.
Xu Kun hurriedly called Bao Qiang to come on stage, and then they both bowed to the audience.
"Okay, okay!"
When the applause ended, Wang Zhonglei also jumped on the stage, patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and laughed: "I knew you could succeed. It was not in vain that my eldest brother and I argued hard on the board of directors!"
Wang Zhongjun also smiled and said: "Xiao Xu, you gave us a big surprise this time!"
Then Feng Xiaogang also nodded and said: "You can achieve such results in your first movie. You are indeed a director."
As he said that, he threw the notebook in his hand to Xu Kun: "But there are a few areas that still need to be improved. I just wrote them down. You can fix them later."
Xu Kun had just seen him writing and drawing, but he didn't expect that he was actually finding fault with the movie.
I took the book and opened it briefly, and found that there were seven entries in total, three of which were connected together, summed up as "tasteless".
This refers to Da Wei played by Wang Kai.
In fact, when Xu Kun was editing, he also felt that the character Dawei was not vivid enough, and deleting his content seemed to have no impact.
But considering that there was such a person in the first place, Xu Kun finally chose to keep Wang Kai's plot - now that Feng Xiaogang also said so, he might as well cut it out later.
In the screening room, everyone gathered around Xu Kun and Bao Qiang and discussed the plot of the movie for about twenty minutes before Wang Zhongjun took the lead and walked out.
Out in the corridor.
Wang Zhongjun smiled at Xu Kun and said, "Director Feng and I still have some things to do. Let Zhonglei accompany you for a walk in Huayi first. Then Director Feng and I will finish the work and we can celebrate together."
With that said, he also told Wang Zhonglei to accompany Xu Kun.
Xu Kun hurriedly said humbly: "Mr. Wang, this hasn't been released yet, so let's celebrate..."
"Eh~"
Wang Zhongjun intercepted his words and said: "We at Huayi are worthy of congratulations for having a talented young director like you join us!"
We agreed that we would only sign contracts with actors.
But at this stall, Xu Kun couldn’t disappoint in front of everyone. Anyway, when he talks about the contract in the next year, he will definitely not give in. After all, the Huayi brothers have done a lot of shit, so in order to avoid falling out in the future, He must at least reserve a way out for himself.
After watching Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang enter the elevator, Xu Kun followed Wang Zhonglei to visit Huayi.
Also traveling with her were Ge You, Huo Siyan, and Qin Lan - Huo Siyan was so friendly to Qin Lan, so naturally Qin Lan would not take the initiative to expose the fact that she had parted ways with Xu Kun.
In fact, Ge You was filled with emotions after watching the movie. Although he has always supported Xu Kun and even went to the Northeast to play a cameo role, he never expected that Xu Kun would be able to make such a work for the first time. .
Originally, newspapers boasted that he was the successor of Feng's comedy, which was just an exaggeration to attract attention. But now after watching the movie, the title of the successor of Feng's comedy actually seems to be worthy of the name.
However, this comedy filmed by Xu Kun is very different from Feng's comedy.
"Uncle~"
Just as he was sighing, Xu Kun took advantage of Wang Zhonglei to go to the toilet and quietly came up to him and asked, "Why were Director Feng so happy when they first met?"
"I'm not sure either."
Ge You thought for a while and said, "It seems to be because I watched some funny short play."
