The press room was crowded with reporters who came from all over to hear the news.
There are cameras set up next to the window sill, at the door, and even next to the bathroom.
The crowded, small space was filled with noises and screams, and a fire-like heat wave surged under Feng Kai's stunned eyes, burning the premiere of "The Golden Guard".
Feng Kai saw Zhou Yang walking over and came to him with a familiar silly smile: "Sorry, Director Feng, I'm late..."
"Zhou, Director Zhou, Mr. Zhou, please sit down quickly..." Feng Kai stuttered, and mixed emotions rushed into his heart instantly. In the end, he felt his nose was sour.
The once arrogant young man suddenly became at a loss at this moment. He was so shocked that he stuttered unconsciously when speaking.
He seemed to see a light filling Zhou Yang's body, filling his whole body.
He didn't even know whether he should call Zhou Yang Director Zhou or President Zhou...
Time has passed and everything is different.
The humble layman who once was now the king has returned under the gaze of everyone. He simply stood there, as if he were a god on the top of the mountain, overlooking Feng Kai.
Feng Kai's eyes were wet, and he quickly invited Zhou Yang to the main seat.
but……
Zhou Yang did not sit down, but stood aside and looked at Feng Kai with a serious expression: "Director Feng, you are the protagonist today. You can sit here. I will just find a chair next to you."
Feng Kai watched Zhou Yang find an empty chair not far away and sit down.
Feng Kai felt his heart tremble slightly, but when he saw Zhou Yang's eyes full of seriousness and encouragement, he nodded.
All the complicated emotions turned into gratitude at this moment. He sat down and answered various questions from reporters again.
This time, the reporters seemed much more enthusiastic, no longer as lifeless as before, as if they had completed some task.
They talked about the movie, the behind-the-scenes stories of the movie, introduced "Jinyiwei", and then talked about the script of the movie...
When talking about the movie "The Golden Guard", which Zhou Yang had participated in revising, Feng Kai obviously realized that the whole audience was excited.
person's name.
The shadow of the tree.
"Mineral", "The Crow", "Saw"...
Every movie Zhou Yang has participated in screenwriting has become a hit!
Coupled with the authoritative certification of the Oscar for Best Screenplay, everyone has an extremely strong interest in "The Guard", a movie that no one cares about!
Time passes little by little...
An hour was over in the blink of an eye.
Feng Kai led everyone out of the crowded press hall. When he came outside, he found that the cinema was full of dark people...
He saw among the crowd the famous Chinese film critics Ba Liming, Chen Xuzhou, Zhang Xiaoou and others.
He saw Ge Laiyin, the film critic of "Screen" at the Berlin International Film Festival, slowly walking out of the crowd and excitedly greeted Zhou Yang...
"Jinyiwei" never invited them, but they came anyway!
Feng Kai was trembling deep in his heart, and his gratitude was beyond words. He could only shake hands with everyone one by one and say thank you for their support.
The premiere screening room was full of people, and some people who came in later could only stand and watch the movie.
The bustling screening room made Feng Kai feel happy and nervous at the same time.
After the movie started, he didn't even dare to look at the reactions of the film critics and fans around him. He was afraid of hearing something bad or shaking their heads and sighing.
The movie "The Guard" was so important to him. It was a movie in which he abandoned everything he had before and started all over again.
Every fragment and every detail here is his painstaking effort...
Also nervous were Liu Tingting, Chen Shuangbao, Zhao Zhen and others not far away.
They were marginal supporting roles in "The Mine" and "The Crow", but in "The Guard", they played very important roles, especially Zhao Zhen. When the movie started playing, his heart almost stopped.
Already.
The only one who is not worried about "Jinyiwei" is Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang has great confidence in Feng Kai.
Over the past year or so, Zhou Yang has come into contact with many directors, and even watched many movies from this world in his spare time...
When he was no longer the layman and looked back at the filming of "Under the Mine", Zhou Yang still felt that Feng Kai's basic skills were solid.
The movie "Jinyiwei" is basically similar to the "Xiu Chun Dao" in the original world. They are both martial arts stories about the joys and sorrows of a troubled family in the late Ming Dynasty.
When filming "The Crow", Feng Kai was constantly trained by Wang Shuai, and was often tortured to death.
Of course, the results of the training are very effective. The opening of "Jinyiwei" exaggerates the tragic and indignant massacre in the late Ming Dynasty. The cruel realistic style opens the curtain of the movie with bloody death.
The camera is very emotional, drawing Zhou Yang into that desperate world, and uses a unique storytelling method, coupled with hearty sword fights, to attract the attention of all viewers.
They enjoyed watching it very much!
They suddenly realized that this low-cost martial arts film had a unique style different from "Hero"!
Especially Zhao Zhen!
He played the role of the black-hearted boss in "The Mine" and the heroine's old father in "The Crow", both of whom were marginal characters for a fleeting moment. However, in "The Guard", he suddenly turned into a scoundrel again.
The prodigal son is actually full of personal charm.
"Who do you want to kill, father-in-law?"
"Jing Ming, the flag officer of Fusi in Beizhen!"
"Who? Father-in-law, doesn't he know that he is my junior brother?"
"Do people like you still care about this?"
"Father-in-law, you misunderstood. This person is my most beloved relative, friend, and brother!"
"You have to pay more!"
"..."
The overall tone of the story of "Jinyiwei" is serious but heavy. From the first scene, it has been telling the story of the late Ming Dynasty in a depressive way.
Many movie fans felt sad and angry after watching the movie, but had nowhere to express it.
However, when Zhao Zhen's character appeared, there was a moment of astonishment in the otherwise silent screening room.
Zhao Zhen's acting skills are superb. He was shocked, sad and desperate, and then his expression began to become playful...
With just a few simple dialogues, the characters began to become flesh and blood under Zhao Zhen's interpretation.
This scene of performance washed away the heaviness and depression in the hearts of movie fans, allowing their emotions to breathe...
Some people couldn't help but started laughing.
Back row!
Thanks to this short plot and excellent acting skills, some film critics began to pay attention to Zhao Zhen, an actor who once came out of "The Bottom of the Mine"...
certainly……
Several foreign film critics were very embarrassed.
"Jinyiwei" has no subtitles. They can't understand what these people are talking about. They just think that these people performed well and the picture is not bad, especially the fighting is quite hearty...
others?
They were confused.
China has Chinese culture, and this is the reason why some movies are popular in China, but may not be popular abroad.
"Hero" is awesome, but what really makes "Hero" awesome has never been the plot. Movie fans can't understand Qin Shihuang, assassination of Qin, or his thoughts at all. They only know that the special effects are great and the fights are as beautiful as ever.
painting.
others?
They can't understand most of the others!
Not only is the text incomprehensible, but also the lack and difference in culture.
……………………
"I firmly oppose Zhou Yang joining the Directors Guild."
"Why should we invite him and why should we appoint him as assistant director?"
"Why should he? Why should such a person who has no respect for his elders?"
"I saw Zhou Yilin, Director Zhou's knees were weak, he was frightened by an Oscar title!"
"He just won the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Is this award important at the Oscars? No, it's just a sideshow at the Oscars!"
"He really thinks he is a person."
"Haha! And..."
"He just relied on vilifying old Americans and inciting internal conflicts in old Americans to rise to power! Who wouldn't film this kind of despicable behavior? My "Roboman", Director Cao, you also saw the pre-sale ticket results
, in terms of box office, popularity, plot and strength, it is definitely many times better than "Saw", and it is one of the few Chinese blockbusters exported to the United States. It is definitely more meaningful than "Saw", Oscar
, I can also apply for the Oscar, and I am also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language!"
"If you have to choose an assistant director among the younger generation, I will definitely not accept him!"
"..."
At the internal meeting of the Directors Guild, Jiang Ge looked at the invitation letter from the Directors Guild with a livid face.
He looked so excited that he almost banged the table.
He brought out nearly 23 million pre-sale tickets for "Roboman" and also showed its astonishing popularity on the Internet.
Zhou Yilin still had a smile on his face and seemed not to be embarrassed.
The other directors Cao Bangguo, Sun An and others also shook their heads, and they were all dissatisfied with Zhou Yilin Shan's assertion and running to the airport to greet Zhou Yang.
Two hours later...
This meeting is finally over.
After it was over, Jiang Ge still had a hint of personal emotion, as if he had seen something clearly. He even looked at Zhou Yilin with less respect than before.
but……
Not long after he got in the car, he received a phone call.
"What? What are you telling me? The popularity of the movie "Jinyiwei" suddenly increased?"
"The pre-sale tickets were also sold out not long after the premiere?"
"Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, "The Guard" is Feng Kai's movie, right? Isn't that movie too cool?"
"..."
Jiang Ge's expression became serious.
It was already afternoon when he returned to the company. After seeing all the data of "The Golden Guard" which premiered in the afternoon, as well as the gradually rising praise, his expression instantly became unbelievable.
After he saw Zhou Yang coming back from the Oscars, he rushed to the premiere of "The Golden Guard" without stopping.
He saw that the ordinary pre-sale box office of "Jinyiwei" was sold out.
He even saw hot search terms on Weibo such as "Zhou Yang, the Oscar-winning screenwriter for Jin Yiwei's script".
These hot search words have completely overshadowed the vigorous "Mechanical Man" that was still popular in the morning...
