Chapter 306 Trial Screening
"Night Store" has no grand premiere, only four previews from the second day of the lunar month to the fifth day of the lunar month, and were selected to be released in the four cities of Beijing, Magic City, Guangzhou, and Chengdu. The first one was Beijing.
Beijing was jointly with Xinying. In order to increase the gimmick, He Mu personally sold tickets at the ticket gate, of course, only part of the tickets were sold. The rest of the movie tickets had been collected by He Mu's friends, fans, and reporters and critics they contacted. Before this, "Night Store" had held an industry-wide movie meeting, and invited theaters to represent theater owners to watch the movie. Everyone was very happy to watch it. Some theaters immediately decided to increase the number of copies, but some people doubt whether the movie could win the audience's love. The effect of this preview will become an important consideration for their screening. The box office of a movie not only depends on the scale of the theater, but also the number of scenes in the screening period, and the number of scenes are also very important. The screening effect of the prime time and garbage time can be said to be very different.
After finishing his ticket sales work, He Mu apologized to the audience who did not get the tickets, and invited them to watch the movie on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year and prepare to go in for pre-screening. Those who did not get the tickets had to choose other films. The hottest movies in the cinema are the new film "Dragon and Phoenix" released on Monday. In addition, "Crazy Racing" and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are also good choices. Among them, "Crazy Racing" has exceeded 20 million in the first week, and the momentum is even stronger this week. "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has exceeded 40 million in two weeks, shattering glasses. These are very excellent results. He Mu expects that this commercial film that he has not worked hard but has also been completed conscientiously has better market feedback.
This is the largest theater in the largest theater under the Xin Film Union. It can accommodate more than 400 people. He Mu stood in front and saw Xiao Fang's family of three in the audience. It is rare for Team Hao to watch a movie with his family. He saw Li Wen and Ye Weiyang secretly in a corner. Not far from them were Xiao Nan and Guo Siyuan. He also saw Zhang Zilin and Shishi sitting together talking and laughing. Zilin had already seen it and didn't want to come, but she changed her mind temporarily when she heard that Shishi would come. In addition, she saw Wang Huaichun surrounded by three girls in his store. She originally wanted to give him two tickets. As a result, he blackmailed four of them, but Tudou had no charge for taking injections and bathing.
In addition to these people, He Mu also saw many fans who were not very familiar with him. But they were very familiar with him, including the car girl Mo Ye who had a deep relationship with him, and many female fans who were very active in fan meeting activities. It seems that He Mu has not yet achieved a mutual killing between men and women, so fans are still mainly women.
This time, director Yang Qing and starring Xu Zheng, He Mu, Li Qiner, Zhao Yingjun, Wang Dongfang, including guest appearance Guo Degang and Zhang Jiayi, also came to the scene. Everyone gathered together to accompany the audience to watch the small and exquisite movie "Night Store".
After the lights went out, the scene became quiet. Although "Night Store" also sold a patch advertisement, it was not visible when previewed. After Longbiao, it was the opening animation of the production company, which was beyond the expectations of some professionals. The opening was not the battle between tigers and wolfs of tigers and wolfs, but a company called Shuimu Forest. It is unheard of.
The company's opening production is quite innovative. A drop of water falls from the sky. From far to near, you can finally see the word "wood" floating in the water droplet. After the water droplets rotate for a week, a radiant light appears around it on the water droplets. The word "wood" turns into countless "wood" characters after the refraction of the water droplets. Finally, many small "wood" characters are spelled into a huge green "cross" character reflected on the screen. At the same time, a slightly smaller black "shuimu" with a slightly smaller font appears next to the word "cross". The three characters "lin" are smaller "film company" below "shuimu Forest".
This is the beginning of the company that He Mu entrusts to Mi Min’s boyfriend Ye Xuan to start with the Xuantian Special Effects Studio. The short ten seconds of the picture took more than half a month for the company, but even so, in He Mu’s opinion, it was still a bit imperfect. Maybe it was because of the time was a bit tight, but the other party promised to help Shuimu Forest upgrade for free, and He Mu also recognized their technology and promised that some of the company’s future business could cooperate with them in close cooperation.
After the opening show, the official part of the movie was released. Characters such as the starring, director and producer also flashed through the picture. Some media reporters were staring at these things. There was only Shuimu Forest, the opening title, perhaps an unknown distribution company, but why did the producer and producer not have the name of Xiao Fang? As the top leader of Hulang, even if he did not personally participate in the production of the film, he should have a name. However, only He Mu was in these titles, and he was also the producer, and Tao Quduo, a co-producer.
When this film was filmed and promoted, it was under the banner of tigers and wolfs. Everyone took it for granted that this was tigers and wolfs. However, it seemed that this movie had nothing to do with tigers and wolfs. At least it didn't matter much now. But Xiao Fang also came to the scene and sat with He Mu. What's going on? What's the secret hidden here? Can you find the answer in the ending cast and thanks?
As a reporter, Guo Siyuan did not have as many ideas as his colleagues. Now he is just focusing on watching movies with Xiao Nan. As for the things in it, He Mu has already told him. He just needs to hand over the manuscript he wrote before to the editor-in-chief.
"Night Store" is a standard, regular and often sparkling commercial film. The plot is simple but it quickly attracted the audience. It turned out that Xu Zheng, who was holding an electric baton in the trailer, was not a robber, but a robber, and Zhao Yingjun, who was holding a knife, was just an act. So the robber must be the one who was holding a gun. What kind of fun story will happen to them? I am really looking forward to it.
What impressed He Mu the most during this preview was the laughter in the cinema. This was the first time He Mu watched this movie with so many people, and it was the first time he heard such exaggerated laughter. It can be said that from the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie, the laughter continued, and the interruption never exceeded three minutes. Some people even laughed in places with dense laughter. The large number of implanted advertisements in the film did not seem to arouse people's disgust or even notice, because they all serve the plot. For example, Master Kong instant noodles, in addition to appearing on the shelves, would later fall on Zhu Liao's face, creating an excellent comedy effect.
Perhaps it is because this is not Feng Xiaogang's movie. If it is a director Feng's movie, no matter how deep the advertisement is hidden, people can find it out. Those who look for advertisements would even rather not watch the plot and find out the advertisements to prove the flood of implants. It seems that this has become a great pleasure for them to watch movies.
After the movie ended, the cast, staff list, and sponsorship units scrolled downwards in the ending song. The reporters stared at it and saw clues. The publisher wrote about Shuimu Forest Film Company. In addition to Shuimu Forest, there are also Hulang Film and Television. This movie is obviously dominated by Shuimu Forest, and Hulang Film and Television is only responsible for part of the filming work, Shuimu Forest, Shuimu... Could this be He Mu's company?!
After the ending song ends, the screen turns black, but the black screen does not have the word "end of the drama", but the line of words "I would like to thank Mr. Xiao Fang for this film!" is He Mu's tribute to Xiao Fang. The appearance of this line immediately made the interested reporters hustle.
"What does He Mu mean?" The movie ended, and a reporter couldn't wait to ask.
"Yes, why do you have to thank Mr. Xiao? Does this mean that the two have officially parted ways?"
"Can Mr. He answer?"
"He Mu, you..."
"Sorry, Miss Zhang Zilin and I made an appointment with me for a candlelight dinner. This is a big deal. I'll find some time to explain it to everyone. OK, please give it up, thank you." He Mu humorously avoided this question, and he explained clearly how tomorrow's reporters will talk nonsense.
When the reporters saw that He Mu couldn't ask anything, they wanted to find Xiao Fang, but he was quick and had already taken his wife and daughter to get in. In the car, Xiao Xiang also asked Xiao Fang, "Dad, why is Uncle Mu thanking you?"
Xiao Fang smiled with relief, "Because dad is a handsome guy, Xiangxiang, do you think dad is very handsome?"
Xiangxiang shook his head seriously, "Uncle Mu is the most handsome, all the girls in our class like him."
Xiao Fang and Hao Hui looked at each other and laughed at each other. Unexpectedly, He Mu's charm was so great that even the little loli was subdued. It was so amazing!
No one related to He Mu Xiaofang's two incidents was interviewed, so the reporters had to return to the theme of the movie and interviewed the audience who came to see their comments. To be honest, these reporters were thinking about how to write an attractive news title when watching the movie, but they didn't pay much attention to the content of the movie. It was a bit difficult for them to write a review of the movie by themselves.
"It's very funny, He Mu didn't disappoint us."
"It's so funny, especially the saying 'Derwah is more suitable, and Momo is OK'. This is the funniest movie I've seen today!"
"I think there is still a gap with Ning Hao's Crazy Series, but it is also a rare drama masterpiece."
"I didn't expect that the whole movie only took place in a supermarket. It's really amazing to shoot such a good plot with such a small space!"
"That character Xu Zheng is so funny. There is also Zhu Liao and He Mu, who are handsome, and they are still handsome with braces!"
"Hahaha, do you still need to ask? Of course it seems, haha..."
"It looks good. This time I only grabbed one ticket. After the release, I will take my girlfriend to card. Sorry, she is still waiting for me outside. Sorry..."
"Of course it looks good. Let me tell you the truth. He Mu is my friend. My ticket was given by him. I run a pet store. This is my business card. My store name is... Oh, don't leave, hey! How about giving you a 30% discount?"
