Chapter 453 Comparison
The crew of "Passengers" is all present, no one is missing.
As directors and producers, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are the focus of today's scene.
There is still more than an hour before the premiere officially starts, and everyone is busy socializing.
Liu Dehua, Zhou Xun, Lei Jiayin, and Liang Jiahui are all experienced veterans in this kind of situation.
Only Reba seemed a little unfamiliar and reserved when Liu Yifei took her with him.
Lin Nan, Han Sanping and others were talking when Fan Bingbing came over holding a wine glass in a tight-fitting dress that showed off her figure.
"...Director Zhu Lin's "Passengers" was as popular as "The Genius" and won the gold medal."
After saying this, Fan Bingbing drank half a glass of red wine. All.
This bold style is liked by big guys like Han Sanping.
"Thank you. I thought you wouldn't be able to come. Aren't you preparing for the premiere of your movie?"
"Of course you will come. I will be in the dormant cabin in a while. Speaking of the premiere I also asked Director Lin to take the time to support me, which will be the day when "Passengers" is released on the 27th."
Lin Nan nodded and agreed, this is not a big deal, "Okay. "
Seeing that Lin Nan agreed, Fan Bingbing said hello to Han Sanping and others again, and then walked away with a wink.
……
Seeing that the time was almost up, everyone returned to their positions.
The first two rows are the Aerospace Science and Technology Group and state-owned enterprises such as China Film, Shanghai Film and Television, as well as producers such as Wanda and Enlight, as well as major film and television companies in the industry.
Hua Yi has two bosses, which gives him an advantage. One is with Lin Nan, and the other is with "Dangerous Liaisons".
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei stood on the stage, surrounded by five actors.
“Many of the people sitting below today can be seen in the movie in a while.”
Lin Nan's words immediately aroused laughter.
People in the industry have long heard that when Lin Nan was filming "Passengers", he was looking for guest stars and visitors, and almost all of them were recruited by Ning Ning.
Only Yu Dong was below, smiling awkwardly. Lin Nan didn't invite him to make a cameo...
"By the way, let me introduce it to you."
This At that moment, Liu Yifei remembered something and pulled Reba to him.
"Reba, she has already appeared in "The Genius". But really speaking, "Passengers" is her screen debut, and she is the second female lead."
Reba tried hard to keep a smile. , listening to Liu Yifei introducing herself to all the guests present today, I felt very nervous.
"...If there is a suitable role, everyone can look for her..."
Liu Yifei talked eloquently and recommended Reba on the stage, which received a round of applause.
"Thank you, I am Reba...a junior in the theater..."
Your name is Reba, why do you stutter when you speak?
Lin Nan and Liu Dehua stood on the edge and couldn't help laughing.
In the audience, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia both sighed, Reba, the newcomer, has such a good life!
"She hugged Liu Yifei's lap." Zeng Jia whispered.
“He is indeed a lucky man, better luck than I had before.”
...
Some young actors who were brought in by their elders are also a little envious now.
Hu Ge in the middle smiled and glanced at Cai Yinong next to him, who was indeed frowning.
Maybe in a few years, this Reba will be more popular than the first sister in her company?
……
"Passengers" was officially screened for the first time.
In the lens, the boundless universe and the stars are shining brightly.
The huge yet tiny interstellar spacecraft seems to be flying in front of a very close star. The picture is extremely shocking!
Meteorites are coming towards the spacecraft...
The camera zooms in infinitely and enters the interior of the spacecraft. The unconstrained architectural design is also eye-catching.
"The design of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group is so awesome, it feels like I'm back when I was watching "The Martian"..."
Fragmented voices rang out, and several actors and actresses couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.
“Holy shit, Director Han!”
“Holy shit, is it really Director Han?!”
When the first shot of the sleep cabin appeared, all the guests on the scene were stunned. Shocked.
The first shot was given to the boss of China Film Group, Director Lin can do it!
Han Sanping smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. This shot lasted for six or seven seconds, which was very good.
The movie subtitles are still not over, and the long shot of the sleeping cabin area begins to go down.
"...Zhang Yimou, Huang Bo...Tian Zhuangzhuang, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing...Jiang Wen, Ning Hao..."
As many as dozens of industry leaders and front-line people, It surprised everyone.
This long shot lasts for three and a half minutes, until it finally freezes in front of two sleeping cabins next to each other.
“It’s Director Lin and Yifei!”
“Are they really good at playing? We have to be a couple even if they are guest immigrants and go to an alien planet!”
……< br>
The discussion became louder and louder, most of them with laughter.
The two-hour movie unfolds slowly.
Although it is a romance film, the sci-fi special effects shots are unambiguous at all. Everyone who watched it said it was wonderful.
......
"Ask me about the box office?"
"Yes, you are the producer."
Liu Yifei took the microphone and looked at Zhou Xun with a smile, but the latter glared back in a playful manner.
"I think the box office must be very good, but it may not be better than "The Genius", because the heroine of "Passengers" is Brother Xun, not me!"
"Go to 豼Yes." Zhou Xun laughed and cursed.
"Hi, I'm a producer. If you don't give me face, I'll be careful not to ask you next time."
Liu Yifei replied pretending to be angry. At first glance, she was joking. Another burst of laughter suddenly broke out below. Even if the box office problem is solved, it will be over.
......
The longer Lin Nan stays in this circle, the clearer he understands some of the rules of this industry, such as the exchange of favors and the exchange of interests.
Just like this moment, Jiang Wenli brought her niece over to say hello, and Lin Nan started chatting with interest.
“Now it’s not like before. If an actress really wants to stand out, she can’t do without commercial films.
If there is an opportunity in the future, if you give her a role, Director Gu and I would like to thank you in advance. "
"Sister Wen Li is too polite. If there is a chance, of course. "
"Thank you, Director Lin. "
Perhaps after several years of "teaching" by Jiang Wenli, Ma Chun is indeed not as "reckless" as when they first met, and has become much more tactful.
" Back then "Into the Dust" had no success at the Golden Rooster. I hope it will have good results this time at the Golden Rooster. ”
Jiang Wenli looked at Lin Nan and said implicitly.
The original heroine of "Into the Dust" was Jiang Wenli.
And for this Golden Horse Awards, she will be one of the five members of the final round of the jury!
Two out of five.
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Sister Wenli, for lending me your kind words."
…………
The premiere is over and the media is very busy.
"The premiere of "Passengers" has ended. The special effects are stunning. It is a science fiction romance blockbuster that is not to be missed."
"There are more than 40 guest guests in the industry. Director Lin Nan can be called Big deal!”
“Liu Yifei recommended the new actor Reba to the producers and film companies present!”
…
“The guest lineup at the premiere of “Dangerous Liaisons” was a bit thin. Xiao Sa personally hosted it…”
“Zhang Ziyi said tearfully at the premiere: I just want to find someone A good and honest man is married!"
"Dou Xiao said that his work has been managed by Pu Lun, not the new picture..."
......
Lin Nan and Liu Dehua met. The latter will return to Hong Kong Island and will soon go to the Golden Horse to participate in the judging work.
The next time we meet will be at the Golden Horse Awards in November.
"Director Lin, see you at the Golden Horse."
"See you at the Golden Horse."
……
Several domestic films are gaining momentum.
In terms of media promotion, it is actually a bit deserted.
"Huayi calls on the theaters to arrange the films as fairly and comprehensively as possible, instead of just relying on others."
Yue Jun seems to be telling a joke, which is a joke in the first place.
“Is this for Passengers?”
Lin Nan lowered his head and smiled, knowingly asked.
The theater chain will definitely give priority to Lin Nan's movies because they have a guaranteed box office.
“It’s obvious. The number of films scheduled on the first day gave us 30%, and even “Looper” was far behind.”
“Looper” is just one of several domestic films No one can escape the imported blockbusters we have to face.
"They should thank me for taking the lead." Lin Nan joked casually.
...
Two days flew by.
"Passengers", "Tai Chi 1" and "Dangerous Liaisons" were released on the same day.
Both the film industry and the major media are a little excited.
From the perspective of cast and investment scale, these three movies are considered blockbusters. And it was released on the same day, which was also a hot topic of public opinion.
The three movies can be compared and hyped anytime and anywhere, and there is endless material to write about.
On the first day the movie was released, Lin Nan went to the premiere of "Double Exposure".
As for Liu Yifei, she made an appointment with Shu Chang and Reba and went to sing. Miss Liu is an out-and-out Mai Ba.
The box office on the first day can be said to be highly anticipated.
At the same time, the online reviews of the three movies are also different.
""Passengers" grossed 49.6 million at the box office on its first day, a small test of its abilities!"
"Different from the pure hard-core science fiction of "The Martian," "Passengers" seems a little softer, but it is still a good one. A wonderful sci-fi romance blockbuster..."
"The love movie "Dangerous Liaisons", starring Zhang Baizhi and Zhang Ziyi, with an investment of 200 million, had extremely poor box office on the first day, with a revenue of 4.6 million, and there is no hope of recovering the original investment... …"
""Tai Chi 1" produced by Huayi, directed by newcomer director Feng Delun, and starring martial arts champion Yuan Xiaochao and Yang Ying, showed its decline, with a box office of 8.9 million on the first day, far from the set target... ”
……
What the industry is most concerned about is the box office, and as expected, it is Lin Nan's "Passengers" that takes the lead.
At this time, the online reviews of the three movies had already spread.
How do you say that sentence?
Don’t be afraid of not knowing the goods, be afraid of comparing goods!
When three movies are placed in front of them, both the audience and the media have endless things to say.
Which one is more rubbish and which one is worse? The more you compare them, the more they will become apparent.
Fortunately, "Passengers" is the movie that is used as a benchmark for comparison, not the one that is criticized.
