Previously, for filming needs, 99 Entertainment registered a film and television company called Xinli Media.
Current works include "Mischief's Kiss", "Charlotte's Trouble", "100 Years of Movies" and "Crazy Stone". "Mischief's Kiss" is broadcast on the star, and "Charlotte's Trouble" is only broadcast online and not
Treated by peers.
So it is still a small company, serving as a business supplement to 99 Entertainment.
But as Yao Yuan decided to enter the film industry, his scale suddenly increased. Zhou Yunfan and Wang Leilei just treated it as a joke, each invested some money and became shareholders.
Let’s not mention this for now, let’s just say that December has become the world of “The Promise”.
There is an overwhelming amount of advertising and promotion, and you are not allowed to not want to see it, but you are not allowed to ignore it. The blockbusters in recent years have been very effective, and the audience's enthusiasm has increased, and they are looking forward to Chen Kaige.
In the blink of an eye, it’s December 12th, the premiere of “The Promise”.
It was cold today, more than ten degrees below zero. Yao Yuan shivered when he got out of the car, and got into the car again to tie his scarf.
The venue is the CPPCC Auditorium.
First, there is a huge red carpet leading directly to the door, and at the end is a so-called "Wuji Gate" that is three meters high and ten meters wide, with a golden roof and red walls.
A white balloon light symbolizing the full moon rose in the sky, with huge posters of the six leading actors on both sides.
Dozens of soldiers under General Guangming, wearing red helmets and armor, holding shields, stood outside the "Wuji Gate". On the inside were Beigong Jue Wuhuan's black army, wearing black and silver armor, white
Top flower, tulle covering the face.
Audiences can already enter the venue, and scalpers have paid 1,800 yuan for a ticket.
Fans without tickets could only gather on both sides of the red carpet, braving the severe cold, holding flowers and posters, anxiously waiting for their idols. There were also many support signs, such as the Japanese Fans Association and the Korean Fans Association, which seemed to have come all the way from overseas.
Come.
"I still can't understand groupies..."
Yinyin wore a mask and shook her head slightly: "I like Zhou Huimin, but even if Zhou Huimin stands in front of me, I won't be so crazy."
"Your dad may be crazy. After all, he is an ancestral idol."
"My dad is not that big of a deal. If you give him the latest computer, he might be excited."
The two men mingled with the audience and entered the CPPCC auditorium.
I have attended the premiere of "Hero" before. "The Promise" did not mention "Hero" anywhere, but it was always compared with "Hero". Yao Yuan took a look at the environment and found that it was still a little bit behind.
At about 7 o'clock, the main creative staff entered the venue amidst cheers.
Han Sanping personally took the seat and paid great attention to the first shot of the Chinese film. He followed Chen Kaige, Chen Hong, Nicholas Tse, Cecilia Cheung, Zhang Dongjian, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Liu Ye and took their seats one after another.
The audience in the venue was more enthusiastic, shouting the idol's name, and the atmosphere was high.
Today's premiere is different from other premieres. The creators did not wait until the movie was over to show up, but came early to watch the movie with everyone.
The noise gradually dissipated and the lights dimmed.
The big screen in front lit up, displaying the words "Chen Kaige's Works".
The opening chapter shows the childhood Qingcheng picking up steamed buns to eat among the dead. A little girl with disheveled hair and shabby clothes made Yao Yuan unable to help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Yinyin was confused.
"it's okay no problem!"
Yao Yuan waved his hand, this little Qingcheng was played by Guan Xiaotong. She was much cuter when she was a child than when she grew up. When she grows up, she turns into a Guar Jia Ge Ge, with a pattern that reaches the sky.
He had only watched it once and could not remember the plot clearly, but as the story progressed, he saw Cecilia Cheung standing on the roof and saying to everyone: "Do you want to see what I am wearing under my clothes?"
Poof!
"There's something wrong with you, what are you doing?" Yinyin whispered angrily.
"It's okay, it's okay, I was distracted!"
Yao Yuan tilted his body and put his fist to his mouth to cover up. He was indeed distracted. He thought of Teacher Cecilia's seductive police uniform. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were blurred...
Yin Yin felt confused and ignored him, focusing on watching the movie.
At first, I was quite focused, admiring the beautiful pictures from time to time, but slowly, my brows wrinkled, and a confused expression spread on my face.
Continues until the end.
When the credits appeared at the end of the film, she turned her eyes to Yao Yuan and showed a very complicated emotion.
"Are you OK?"
"I'm in trouble!"
Yinyin growled, paused, and continued to growl: "I'm very angry now!"
"ha?"
"I don't know what I'm doing sitting here. I wasted two hours. Oh no, I wasted an entire night! I haven't understood it yet!"
This time Yao Yuan smiled the most happily and had the same views.
"Maybe this movie is very profound and you can't understand it in one go. When it's officially released, can I watch it with you again?"
"..."
Yinyin rolled her eyes, put on her scarf and gloves, and whispered: "Let's go, let's go."
So, when the main creators came on stage and were ready to communicate enthusiastically with everyone, the two of them sneakily left the hall.
When I went out, I saw a group of people asking for wages. They were the extras standing guard at the "Wuji Gate". There were also reporters interviewing them. The extras were very sad and angry:
"We have been freezing all day!"
"At that time, we didn't specify how much we would be paid. We just said it would be at least 20 yuan. No one cares about it now. When will we be paid?"
Yao Yuan was forced to accompany his girlfriend to watch a movie today, but when he got there, he found that it was quite enjoyable. It was really a human comedy, the kind that spans time and space.
On the way back, Yinyin was still angrily driving the car, talking about how much she loved "Farewell My Concubine" and how disappointed she was at the moment.
But Yao Yuan stretched his laziness and just thought that it was the end of the year and the community had to do something to make everyone happy.
The previous aesthetic debate established Maiwo's status as the largest community in the world, with many labels including "young", "free", "rebellious", "anti-mainstream" and "ideological PK" attached to it.
Just in time to do it again this time!
…………
"Straight into the premiere scene, the audience applauded unanimously!"
"A reporter said that the film is very good, with a compact storyline and distinctive characters. The scenes are beautiful and the pictures are clean and beautiful."
"One film critic said, "The Promise" contains so much meaning that I have to watch it many times to fully understand it. Chen Kaige's directing skills have obviously improved greatly. It is really not easy to control such a large-scale film. He has contributed the greatest contribution to the century of Chinese cinema.
one's gift!"
"Mr. Liu, a fan, said that in the past, Chen Kaige's films felt that the narratives were relatively messy, but this time "The Promise" finally told the story clearly. There are still some gaps between the special effects and American blockbusters, but overall, the special effects of "The Promise" are absolutely
Represents the highest level of Asian cinema!"
At the end of the premiere, the film crew gave the approval in advance and only allowed praise, not criticism.
If you want to criticize, please hold it back for two days until it is released nationwide on the 14th.
The relationship between the film studio and the media is like the relationship between Wang Po and Pan Jinlian. No one can live without the other. This is an unwritten rule: no criticism at the premiere.
Maiwo's rating was opened, and dozens of people rated it, all of which were five stars.
But there are not enough people, and the scores have not been released yet.
In just two days, in the blink of an eye, "The Promise" was fully released on the 14th, and fans who had been waiting for it for a long time rushed into the cinema...and then, there was no more.
Among these viewers, Hu Ge, who has become one of the top 100 UP owners in Maiwo, is one of them.
