Chapter 420: Zombie movies are no longer exclusive to the West
After Wang Shu finished his speech, the audience burst into applause.
When the applause subsided, Jing Wei then interviewed Liu Dehua and signaled Liu Dehua to speak.
Liu Dehua took the microphone and sighed: "I am really grateful to Director Wang and Director Han for being able to star in "Taipei Trip"."
"If it were not for Director Wang and Director Han I won’t have the chance to sit here today.”
"When I saw the script of "Travel to Taipei", I was instantly attracted and wanted to immediately agree to the invitation from Director Wang and Director Han."
"Really, not only is it an excellent film And the eye-catching script is the first zombie movie script in our country.”
“I don’t think any actor will reject this script.”
“Plus. It’s directed by Director Wang.”
“I won’t refuse.”
"Although Director Wang is young, his talent is obvious to all and he is definitely capable of making this movie."
"So, I rushed to the capital and signed the contract without thinking about it."< br>
“In the blink of an eye, the movie is about to be released.”
“The excitement in my heart cannot be calmed down for a long time.”
“To be honest, the filming of "Taipei Trip" was so exciting I felt a lot of family affection, and the atmosphere of cooperation between the director and the actors moved me very much.”
"At the same time, I would also like to thank everyone on the crew for their dedication."
"Thank you all for your help."
"I hope everyone likes our movie, thank you. . ”
“Finally, Director Wang is really great. You will definitely not regret it if you go to the cinema and watch the movie.”
“Also, I heard that Director Wang directed the movie. Nominated for the American Golden Globe Award, I hope Director Wang will win it.”
Liu Dehua's final words made the audience's eyes focus on Wang Shu.
The American Golden Globe Awards are the American film awards second only to the Academy Awards.
If Wang Shu can win something at the Golden Globe Awards, even though it is not as honorable as the Academy Awards, he can still be considered to have something to say in Hollywood.
After all, even in Hollywood, not just any director can win this award.
You must be a very capable director to achieve something.
The directors and actors who can win the Golden Globe Awards are all well-known Hollywood directors or actors.
Now, who would have thought that Wang Shu had just gone to Hollywood and made two movies.
One has a global box office of US$500 million, and the other has not yet been released but has already been nominated for the Golden Globe Award with the previous one.
Even if you don’t win the award, just this nomination is still an extremely impressive honor.
It is not that there are no well-known directors in China who go to Hollywood to develop, and they all return to China in despair.
Nowadays, many people are afraid to go to Hollywood for fear of being slapped in the face, so they only dare to stay in their own comfort zone.
Only Wang Shu decided to go to Hollywood at a young age and achieved success.
Many people know that in terms of qualifications, Wang Shu is far behind many senior domestic filmmakers.
When it comes to strength, there is something to be said for it.
On the stage, Jing Wei began to interview Li Binbin and motioned for Li Binbin to speak.
Li Binbin took the microphone, sat upright, and said with a smile: "I am very grateful to Director Wang for giving me this opportunity and choosing me to play the heroine of "Taipei Trip"."
"I have a lot to say. I can't finish it in a short time. I'll make a long story short. "
". I want to thank Director Wang for inviting me to participate in the movie "Taipei Trip". As Brother Hua said, not only is the script extremely excellent. It’s eye-catching, and it’s our country’s first zombie movie.”
“When I learned that I had the opportunity to participate, I accepted the role without even thinking about it.”
“Director Wang’s script. Director Wang’s films are obvious to all.”
"Actually, I can agree directly without even watching it."
"Because, as long as it is produced by Director Wang, it will definitely be good."
"Some people may say that zombie movies are the best in our country. No one has made it before, so how can you be confident that the movie will be good enough? "
"What I want to say is that although zombie movies have not been made in China before, I believe in Director Wang."
< br>“Facts have proved that my judgment was correct, Director Wang is indeed very powerful.”
"Even though "Travel to Taipei" is our country's first zombie film, Director Wang shot it extremely well."
Li Binbin paused for a moment before saying, "Okay," he said with a smile. No matter how much I say it, nothing can be more personal than seeing it in person in the cinema.”
“So I won’t say much more.”
“Finally, thank you, Director Wang, and the crew. "
"Thank you, Director Wang, for inviting me to star in this movie. It is a very good movie and I am honored to be a part of it."
"At the same time, I would like to thank the crew. They are very hardworking and serious. Thank you for their efforts."
"Thank you!"
The audience applauded thunderously, which gave Li Binbin enough face.
Jing Wei then interviewed Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen knew how to handle things, and his few words made the audience laugh.
The eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on him, and many people sighed in their hearts.
In other words, Wang Shu's reputation is relatively large, and he can invite Jiang Wen to play the second male lead. It is difficult for others to have this reputation.
On the stage, Jing Wei continued to interview Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, Zhang Zifeng and other actors and crew members.
This session is over, and more than half of the premiere of "Taipei Trip" has passed.
Next, singers invited by Weng Li, the head of China Film Distribution, took the stage to sing one after another.
With the singing performance over, it’s time for dinner.
After the dinner is over, some of the people who got the "tickets" can go to the cinema to watch the movie.
Of course, not only some of the people who got the "tickets" at the dinner party were able to go to the theater to watch the movie.
Outside the venue, there were many ordinary audiences who were lucky enough to get movie tickets through random draws held by China Film Distribution, and were able to go to the theater to watch the movie together.
The movie theater where the premiere is held and the red carpet ceremony of the premiere are held in two different places. Therefore, ordinary audiences basically do not come to the red carpet, but go directly to the movie theater to wait. Admission to the movie.
During the dinner, people were moving around, chatting with each other.
Some people are really chatting, and some people are chatting with a purpose.
Many people in the industry came here not because they wanted to watch the few minutes of footage on the big screen, nor because they wanted to listen to what Wang Shu and others said, but because they wanted to expand their connections during the dinner.
Or maybe they came for Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun.
After all, these two people represent the boss and second child of state-owned film and television companies.
In other words, China Film covers the circle radiating outward from the capital, while Shanghai Film covers the circle radiating outward from the magical city.
Many people come for this.
With the conclusion of the premiere event, "Taipei Trip" officially premiered.
This time, there was no screening, but a direct premiere. Jiang Wenli, Qin Hailu, Sun Li, Fan Binbin, Chen Hao, Yang Mi, Liu Yan and others all sat attentively. As actors who had participated in Wang Shu's self-written and directed works, they knew Wang Shu's strength.
In addition, there has been news that the internal screening of "Travel to Taipei" has been very good. Before they came, they already felt that Wang Shu's "Travel to Taipei" would not be successful. Difference.
"This is the first zombie movie. I hope it will be as good as the rumors say." Sun Li stared at the big screen expectantly.
With her close relationship with Wang Shu, she does not want Wang Shu to rush into the street, but sincerely hopes that Wang Shu will get better and better.
Even if there is no chance to cooperate with Wang Shu in the future, I still hope that Wang Shu can do better.
Jiang Wenli, Qin Hailu, Chen Hao, Yang Mi and others are also looking forward to it. They know that zombie movies are a popular subject in Europe and the United States, but no one knows whether they will work in China.
Now that "Travel to Taipei" is released, we will soon know whether there is a market for zombie movies in the mainland.
Not only them, many people are waiting for the box office results of "Taipei Trip" after its release.
The results are good enough, so I follow the trend and produce.
If your grades are not good, you will be swept into the sewer.
However, even though some people have such ideas, they may not necessarily be able to do so.
Because zombie movies are ultimately subject to restrictions. Not only does the script need to meet the requirements, but also there must be strong enough connections to handle it.
As the title of "Travel to Taipei" appears on the screen, the movie officially begins.
In the first ten minutes, many people thought that the most terrifying thing was the silent disaster, lurking in unknown corners, waiting for an outbreak.
It spread rapidly in familiar life scenes. Streets, roads, railway stations, trains... were caught off guard and swept over, destroying all lives.
However, this is not the case as the plot progresses.
zf covered up the situation and the situation became more and more serious until it became unbearable and the ugliness of human nature was revealed one after another.
In the ending, the family ties and the mainland are sublimated again.
After the nearly two-hour movie ended, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause.
“Zombie movies are no longer exclusive to the West! Director Wang once again proved to the world his extraordinary narrative ability and exquisite borrowing skills. There is no Hollywood-style heroism to save mankind, there are more The reflection of human nature and the portrayal of emotions. No matter how you look at it, this movie is a first for the Asian film industry!”
After watching it, some people expressed their praise without hesitation.
Many people thought that "Travel to Taipei" would be a zombie-fighting movie similar to "Resident Evil".
Who knows, this is not the case at all.
It is more about highlighting human nature and emotions.
It is a heartwarming film, not a Hollywood popcorn movie.
It makes sense to think that Wang Shu made his debut as an art film director.
Because art film directors often like to add something to commercial films.
The director of an art film whose level is not good enough adds private goods to the commercial film, making the whole film extremely stretched.
People like Wang Shu are obviously very high-level art film directors.
The other side.
After attending the premiere, Wang Shu, Liu Dehua, Li Binbin, Jiang Wen and other creative staff went to the reserved theater to interact with the audience.
This theater is not a theater where Zhou Xun, Fan Binbin, Chen Hong and others watch movies, but a theater mainly for ordinary audiences.
As the movie ended, Liu Dehua, Li Binbin and others walked onto the stage, and the audience who was about to leave suddenly burst into warm cheers.
At the same time, the media personnel hiding in the front row pretending to be passers-by quickly got into work mode.
The movie has just premiered. In order to prevent the source of the film from leaking out, media personnel are not allowed to bring in cameras.
However, it is possible to have one or two cameras approved at certain times.
At this moment, the media personnel took out their cameras and took pictures of Liu Dehua, Li Binbin and others on the stage.
"Hello everyone, we are the starring cast of "Taipei Trip", and I am Andy Lau." Andy Lau spoke first.
“Hello everyone, I’m Li Binbin.” Li Binbin followed closely.
“Hello everyone, I am Jiang Wen.” Jiang Wen then introduced himself.
After several people introduced themselves one after another and the audience burst into warm applause, the interaction between the starring actors and the audience began.
"Is "Travel to Taipei" good to watch?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile.
"It looks great!" The audience in the cinema was very considerate and responded loudly.
Some conspicuous ones even shouted at the top of their lungs: "It looks better than "The Sun Also Rises"."
When Jiang Wen heard this, he immediately said: "There must be something wrong with your eyes."
“Haha!”
Not only Jiang Wen heard this, but also other audiences in the theater, and burst into laughter.
"The Sun Also Rises" is a movie directed by Jiang Wen. Not only did it fail to gain success in the top three major European movies, but the box office was also unsatisfactory after its release.
After tossing and tossing, I got nothing and even made a loss.
This conspicuous bag was undoubtedly opened in front of Jiang Wen.
Liu Dehua, Li Binbin and others are all actors, and they all managed their expressions and pretended not to hear what they said.
When the laughter ended, Andy Lau took over the conversation and said to himself: "Everyone is so happy, so I will tell you some interesting things when we were filming "Taipei Trip"."
Then he talked about some things that happened during the filming of "Taipei Trip", which made the audience laugh.
As he started chatting like this, the episode about "Travel to Taipei" being better than "The Sun Also Rises" disappeared.
After Liu Dehua finished speaking, Li Binbin continued to interact with the audience in the theater.
Others did not fall behind either.
When Chen Hong returned home, Chen Kaige was still awake. When he saw her coming back, he couldn't help but ask: "How is this zombie movie by Wang Shu?"
He had heard about the rave reviews for China Film's internal screenings before, and because he heard about the rave reviews, he couldn't wait to ask.
Hearing this, Chen Hong glanced at Chen Kaige and said softly: "It is a very good film. It makes sense that it will be well received when it is shown in China Film."
"Movie It has been released, you can find out if you take the time to go to the cinema and watch it."
When Chen Hong said this, he suddenly asked in surprise: "Is it really as good as you said?"
< br>Chen Hong smiled and answered: "Some people at the scene shouted after watching the movie that zombie movies are no longer exclusive to the West."
"Shout. Director Wang once again proved to the world his extraordinary narrative ability and exquisite borrowing skills."
"Praise that this movie does not have the Hollywood-style heroism of saving mankind, but has more humanity. The reflective and emotional portrayal shows that no matter how you look at it, this movie is the first of its kind in the Asian film industry.” , but received rave reviews.”
“This zombie movie is not a Hollywood popcorn movie.”
“You will know it when you go to the cinema.” br>
When Chen Kaige heard this, he looked at Chen Hong blankly and fell into silence for a moment.
