Chapter 279 Premiere Reverse
On July 15th, "Crazy Stone" was officially released
When you walk into the cinema, basically all the places where advertisements can be placed are covered by "The Stone" and "Seven" Sword" poster occupied.
"Stone" is still the same as before, the green stone reflects the appearance of Brother Dao's trio.
"Seven Swords" shows seven weapons stuck on the ground, with the simple and full words "Seven Swords" next to them.
Judging from the poster, it is obvious that "Seven Swords" is more sophisticated. If nothing else, the appearance of the seven swords alone is worth a lot of money.
Since July, these two movies have been intensively promoting, but the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which is still in theaters, has been squeezed out and has no sound.
It is precisely because of the good publicity that everyone is looking forward to the two movies.
The main promotion point of "Seven Swords" is Xu Xu and the Seven Swords. Probably the distributor feels that all the stars combined are not as good as Xu Xu's return to the martial arts film.
"Stone" mainly relies on Zhang Chen. There is no way, except for him, all the main creators combined are not as famous as him.
Originally, the publicity of "Seven Swords" had always been the upper hand. After all, it was a blockbuster, with excellent costumes, blessings from famous directors, and a lot of gimmicks.
But Zhang Chen’s performance at the premiere two days ago successfully brought "Stones" to the forefront. Many people became interested in "Stones" because of this.
Of course, some people have already made up their mind to watch both dramas.
It was officially released, and there were long queues at movie theaters across the country. There were no electronic ticket sales at this time, so if you wanted to watch the movie, you had to wait in line.
When you encounter a popular movie, it’s like a train ticket, you have to grab it~
Well, it will be even more exaggerated in two years. In order to watch an IMAX "Avatar", some people queue up a night in advance. Then it is winter.
In winter in the north, people can freeze to death at night.
I don’t know what will happen if I don’t watch this movie. Will I die?
"Give me two copies of "Seven Swords"~"
"Three copies of "Crazy Stone"~"
"One piece of "Crazy Stone", thank you~"
"Two pieces of "Seven Swords" at 11:10~"
Most of the people who buy tickets are for these two movies. It's either "Seven Swords" or "The Stone". There is no room for other movies to survive.
A moment of silence for them.
A reporter squatted at the entrance of the cinema to interview:
"Of course I'm looking forward to it, the martial arts film directed by Xu Ke~"
"I'm a fan of Zhang Chen, I've watched all his movies, and I've also watched the movies he recommended~"
"I came here after watching the premiere, and I am full of expectations for "The Stone"~"
"There is King Li in "Seven Swords", and I love King Li~"
Generally speaking, watching movies They are all young people, mostly students.
One characteristic of these people is that they like to love the house and the bird.
If they like someone, they will really support you with real money, and they will support everything about you.
But if you lose your powder, you will turn around very coolly, without any nostalgia.
......
The movie is about to start, and the occupancy rate in the theater can reach 80%.
After the lights dimmed, three figures sneaked into the venue and headed straight to the last row.
These three people are Ning Hao, Huang Bo and Yue Xiaojun.
Looking at the almost full screening room, Ning Hao felt a little excited.
He came here today just to see the audience’s reaction.
"Stone" is an excellent movie, he is sure of this, but he still can't help but want to know the audience's reaction. This is probably a common problem for all new directors.
Huang Bo and Yue Xiaojun are similar.
With the promotion of "Stone", there have been more and more discussions about "Stone" on the Internet in the past two days, and many of them are about the Dao Brother trio.
Huang Bo was eager to give it a try. He had a hunch that he might become popular.
Yue Xiaojun is not a full-time actor. His main job is screenwriting, but he can't help but look forward to it.
The movie begins~
Xie Xiaomeng threw a can on the cable car, and Bao Shihong's car was hit. Then his car rolled away and hit the four-eyed BMW~
Three seemingly unrelated clues converged at this moment After the collision, the audience showed expressions of realization.
Then I was amazed~
This is the first catchy part of "The Stone". Just the beginning makes people feel that this movie is good.
Looking at everyone talking in low voices, Ning Hao had a smile on his face.
He likes this feeling very much, as if he can control the emotions of the audience, making you cry, making you laugh, making you marvel...
Movie continues
Don't touch me~
I will give you a thumbs up~
Quality, pay attention to your quality~
Golden sentences appeared frequently, and there was laughter in the cinema.
Every reaction from the audience brings emotional value to the three people in the back row, and they are very satisfied.
Star Entertainment’s slogan for “Stone” is – This summer, make you laugh!
They did it, really did it.
The movie ended and the lights just turned on. Ning Hao saw the people behind him stand up in a hurry and run out.
There are several people like this~
Ning Hao’s heart sank, don’t the audience like it?
But just looking at everyone’s reactions, they were all laughing.
Amid anxiety, someone next to me said: "Brother, I've borrowed it before. I need to pee. This movie was shot so well. It looks like I can't bear to go to the toilet."
Three people later After realizing it, I suddenly realized.
The movie has ended, and some people stood up one after another, preparing to leave~
“Wow!”
At this time, some audience members spontaneously applauded, and then other audiences also followed suit. , the voice became louder and louder.
Everyone laughed, clapped and looked at each other, happy for the resonance of this moment.
Then this behavior inspired more people to resonate and more people applauded~
The three people in the last row were slightly excited. This was not a premiere, and there was no main creator. The audience's applause was completely spontaneous, which was increasingly rare.
At this moment, Ning Hao felt a sense of happiness in being recognized. In the applause, people's emotions were vented - they finally encountered a good movie.
"Crazy Stone" made them feel very different.
At this stage of comedy, Hong Kong’s nonsense and shit are one kind, and Beijing’s taste is another kind.
"Stone" is the third type.
And he is not embarrassed at all.
The comedy segments of many movies are clown-style comedies, in which actors achieve funny purposes by playing clown or exaggerating plots.
It’s very deliberate, and many times you just start with the beginning, and the audience has already guessed the ending.
In this era due to rampant piracy, the amount of film viewing is astonishing.
Some directors may not read as much films as senior movie fans.
But this is not the case in "Stone".
Each of his plots are normal, but they are put together in a coincidental way to achieve the purpose of being funny.
The lines are also very classic and unique.
Dialect comedies are actually very niche, but Chongqing dialect has an inexplicable sense of joy.
The audience basically laughed through the entire movie.
This is the charm of comedy.
In fact, the theme and form of "Stone" are very suitable for the Lunar New Year period. In the Lunar New Year period, excellent comedy is a killer, and everyone is looking for a happy ending.
The later "People on the Road" followed this path, but this year there was "The Promise". Poet Chen was still a god in the film industry at this time, and "Stone" would definitely not be good to him.
……
A movie theater in Shijiazhuang
Also after the opening, a man wearing a hat and a mask entered the theater and sat in a hidden corner of the last row.
The person coming is Lu Chuan.
In order to avoid being recognized, he not only put on a hat and a mask in the hot July, but also went to the remote Shijiazhuang and found a non-popular theater in a non-popular area.
It was also the intersection of several clues, and Lu Chuan sat up straight unconsciously.
"...Well, there's something..."
Seeing the reactions of the surrounding audience, Lu Chuan felt a trace of envy in his heart.
He is a movie maker himself, and what he sees is different from what ordinary viewers see.
Multi-line narrative is really a rare thing at this time. Even filmmakers have rarely seen it, let alone ordinary audiences.
No wonder the audience responded so well.
But Ning Hao was really brave enough to dare to play like this.
The style of multi-line narrative seems to be a clever story, but in fact it tests the director's skill. If the filming is not good, the story will feel scattered.
Moreover, the audience might not buy it.
Don’t think that good movie audiences will definitely buy it. "The Shawshank Redemption" is a good movie, but it still didn’t do well at the box office back then.
His "Kekexili" is also...
Lu Chuan was very envious of Ning Hao. "Stone" was a perfect way to show off one's skills, and showing off one's skills meant showing off. Who doesn't like showing off in art?
He knew Ning Hao.
In his early years, Ning Hao also made literary films.
After filming, he took his film to exhibitions all over the world. This is how he and Ning Hao met.
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ning Hao has begun to make commercial films, and he is still working in the field of literary films.
Thinking of this, Lu Chuan not only remembered the call Wang Zhonglei made to him last night.
The idea of making an appointment to have a meal is obvious.
Lu Chuan did not agree immediately. It seemed that you had ignored me in the past, but now I have made it impossible for you to reach high.
In the past, Lu Chuan and Zhang Chen were both Huayi's wooers. Later, Zhang Chen's "Shark Beach" exceeded 100 million, Lu Chuan turned against him again, and Huayi gradually alienated Lu Chuan.
Now that Huayi wants actors but not actors, and a director but not a director, it has once again roped in Lu Chuanlai.
...
In the same movie theater in Beijing, with the same outfit and the same corner, Xu Ke was very emotional watching the movie.
“I am getting old, I am really getting old...”
“Can we still make movies like this?”
“Today’s young directors are really good at playing~”
Xu Ke had never heard of Ning Hao before, but he was so amazed when he saw his movie for the first time.
The script is clever and the actors are just right.
Xie Xiaomeng, Four Eyes, Brother Dao, where did he find these supporting characters?
Every role was played well. For the first time, Xu Ke felt that mainland China is also full of talents.
Zhang Guoli knew about him, but they didn’t have any interactions with each other. Feng Xiaogang only met him at the premiere two days ago. The only one he was relatively familiar with was Wu Zhenyu.
But Wu Zhenyu also changed his previous acting style and played a killer from Hong Kong in this drama. Xu Ke never thought that Wu Zhenyu, who is famous for playing gangsters, would be so good in a comedy.
Speaking of which, the director is still great.
It was the director who brought such a group of outstanding people together.
