The premiere of "The Return of the Great Sage" was about a week ahead of the official release date of the movie.
Within a week after its premiere, the film is also preparing to begin large-scale screenings in first-tier cities in China.
In the screening process, although there are generally not too many films scheduled, the box office revenue is also limited.
But building a reputation for a movie is obviously a good publicity tool, and many movies that are more confident in the quality of the movie will choose to screen it in advance.
If the reputation of the screenings increases, when it is officially released, both the film schedule and the attendance rate will be much more competitive.
It can attract more passersby to enter the theater to buy tickets and watch the movie.
For a movie like "The Return of the Great Sage", after discussions with the director and producer, Jiang Yuan all agreed that it would be more advantageous to choose to screen it.
If word-of-mouth reviews are fermented among movie fans, then the premiere of a movie is the first time the movie faces a large-scale audience.
Those invited to the premiere were either fellow producers, artists in the industry, voice actors, etc.
Many professional media and film critics were also invited to the scene as audiences that day.
Although in view of the invitation, when people word their comments, they usually give me a little respect and don't write too ugly.
However, audiences have their own set of standards of judgment, and the first wave of film reviews may be too exaggerated.
But if the first wave of movie reviews don't have much praise, then the movie will most likely be really ugly.
If there is not a famous director and production team, and there are no big names among the voice actors, the premiere of an animated movie will most likely be very disappointing.
Just like a roadshow meeting for this type of movie, not many viewers have much desire to meet the behind-the-scenes team.
Coincidentally, this time Jiang Yuan invited the director who produced "The Return of the Great Sage", and he also has a masterpiece that has become a big hit in the industry.
But everything changed after Jiang Yuan's name was included in the movie.
After I heard that Jiang Yuan confirmed that he would attend the premiere, the number of media who wanted to come to the scene increased instantly.
In order to support the scene, Jiang Yuan also mobilized his connections and invited some friends who happened to be free to watch the movie.
In addition to the artist friends I had met through programs such as "Beyond the Troubles", Lu Qingge, who happened to be in the imperial capital, also agreed to watch the premiere of the movie together.
"Thanks to you for the lively premiere this time." As the director of the film, Jiang Caihua thanked Jiang Yuan excitedly at this moment.
In Jiang Caihua's heart, Jiang Yuan is simply a nobleman of the color painting studio he founded.
The first song that made him famous in the industry was the MV for "Big Fish", which he collaborated with Jiang Yuan on. Now that "The Return of the Great Sage" has been produced and polished for a long time, it's finally time to be released, and it's hard not to be excited.
"Are you nervous?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
After all, this is Jiang Caihua’s first time directing.
Hearing Jiang Yuan ask this, Jiang Caihua nodded decisively, "It took so long to make it, and a lot of hair fell out."
"I don't know what kind of evaluation everyone will have after watching it." The reputation of a movie has the effect of deciding between life and death.
So there is no reason why Jiang Caihua is not nervous.
"I saw a clip of the sample film earlier, and it was very close to the picture I imagined."
"So I haven't seen the final film with sound, but I think it should be good, and the pressure won't be all on you." Jiang Yuan comforted Jiang Caihua.
Although he has not seen the final official version, Jiang Yuan also watched some unedited samples when he was composing the soundtrack.
The final image produced was much more exquisite than Jiang Yuan imagined.
The first thought at that time was that the money was not wasted.
After the picture is guaranteed, as long as the final official version is edited according to the version I gave, it should be a very good movie.
Thinking like this, Jiang Yuan didn't have much worry in his heart.
As for Jiang Caihua, after hearing Jiang Yuan's words of relief, the pressure on his body did feel less.
After all, although Caihua Studio spent most of its time with this movie, it is still in the eyes of the outside world, especially fans and the media.
This movie has a deeper connection with Jiang Yuan.
Starting from the promotion of the movie, any post or news that mentions the name of the movie will always have Jiang Yuan's name next to it.
In other words, if the movie hits the streets, Jiang Yuan will definitely be the main force facing the impact.
"Get ready, the premiere time is coming soon." Jiang Yuan raised his wrist, glanced at the time, waved his hand to Jiang Caihua and said.
The premiere of "The Return of the Great Sage" was held at a relatively well-known movie theater in the Imperial Capital.
Many movies have held events in this theater, which is equipped with a relatively large auditorium and is also the first choice for many movies to hold premiere events.
This time, "The Return of the Great Sage" chose Dolby Cinema, which can accommodate nearly a thousand viewers.
Whether it is visual or sound effects, we are prepared to give the audience the best experience.
Jiang Yuan heard that this choice was made by Jiang Caihua himself after going to several special effects studios to watch the finished film.
At the movie's premiere, Jiang Yuan also changed into a light purple dress and symbolically walked on the red carpet.
The dress was also one of the haute couture items previously prepared for Jiang Yuan’s concert. Although I couldn’t wear it, I still brought it to another important occasion.
The fringed shirt underneath fluttered gently when Jiang Yuan stepped forward, adding a bit of elegance.
Before the post-screening activities of the premiere officially started, it was really just watching the movie.
The audience came in one after another and filled the seats. Before the movie officially started screening, Jiang Yuan also socialized with Jiang Caihua for a while.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are indeed many people who take the initiative to say hello.
They even basically found common topics with Jiang Yuan, as they were both directors or investors, and eight out of ten said they liked "Sherlock Holmes" very much after watching it.
There was also someone who had read the latest story online. After chatting with her, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but wonder if the other person was really a fan of the book.
But more than anything, just take this as an introduction.
After the conversation was almost finished, we went straight to the topic and expressed that we wanted to cooperate with Jiang Yuan.
At times like this, Jiang Yuan would usually join forces with Jiang Caihua to laugh, saying that they would pay attention to this movie first.
One-hand Tai Chi techniques can be regarded as extremely proficient.
Finally, when the movie was about to start showing, the crowd around Jiang Yuanren dispersed and he returned to his seat.
After Jiang Yuan sat down at his seat, he looked around a little and noticed where the artists he invited were.
After the lights dimmed, Jiang Yuan began to move to a spot specially reserved for himself.
The location happened to be on the left side of Lu Qingge. After all, we hadn't seen each other for a long time.
After finally meeting each other at a movie premiere, it would be really inappropriate to leave others alone.
Sitting down in the dark, before Jiang Yuan had time to talk to Lu Qingge, another voice sounded from beside him.
"Brother Jiang, long time no see."
"Thank you very much for inviting me to the premiere. I really like watching movies." The person sitting on the other side of Jiang Yuan was Chen Zhinan, whom he had met before.
Jiang Yuan had just asked who was more free in the group chat of "Love Song Concert".
Chen Zhinan contacted Jiang Yuan as soon as he saw the news.
"As long as you like it." Jiang Yuan squeezed the corner of his mouth and said.
After Chen Zhinan said hello, he was also very discerning and stopped disturbing Jiang Yuan, but turned his eyes to the screen.
Although the movie has not been officially screened yet, the scene has already become quiet.
So when Jiang Yuan was talking to Lu Qingge, he subconsciously moved closer and spoke softly.
"If it doesn't look good later, I'll treat you to dinner." As they usually kept in touch, there wasn't much reminiscing about the past, and the two of them also directly chatted about movie-related topics.
"If it looks good, why don't you invite me?" Lu Qingge blinked and asked.
"If it looks good, you have to invite me. I haven't been back to China for a long time." Jiang Yuan said with a soft smile.
"You should be very confident about this movie, right?" Lu Qingge thought for a while and felt that Jiang Yuan had already made up his mind to treat him.
"You should be generally confident." Jiang Yuan waved his hand modestly.
We haven't met each other for a long time, but there is no sense of unfamiliarity between the two.
From the side of Chen Zhinan, it seemed that the two of them had been whispering since Jiang Yuan sat down.
It's good to be handsome. Chen Zhinan sighed in his heart, feeling that he couldn't learn anything from it.
Then he started looking at the big screen intently.
After the movie was about to start playing, Jiang Yuan and Lu Qingge temporarily stopped talking and watched the movie as intently as the audience.
The audience at the premiere is a group that has been screened to a certain extent, and they are basically in a good order when watching movies.
There will be no uncivilized movie-watching behavior, and no viewers will be late or disturbed.
So after the movie starts playing, the whole audience is basically in a state of immersive movie watching.
Even if there are relatively rich reactions, they are basically based on inner drama.
For example, the first thing that amazed everyone was the special effects production.
Previously, for the special effects of the movie, everyone only experienced some clips in advance through the official trailer.
But the final texture displayed on the big screen is far from what the trailer can match.
Whether it is the modeling of characters or the rendering of some environments, they are basically the best in the industry, and even exceed many levels.
This is perfectly presented through the big screen in the cinema.
In the minds of many film critics, the overall picture quality alone is worth mentioning.
In addition to the astonishing production level at first glance, everyone was also quickly attracted by the plot of "The Return of the Great Sage".
Unlike other types of film and television works, the movie is not long in duration, which determines the faster pace of the story.
Although many film critics secretly felt that the character designs were a bit weird before, it soon became really popular.
Especially in the second half of the movie, after the fighting starts, the whole scene becomes very exciting.
There are even some touching elements incorporated into it, and overall it is a highly completed film.
Coupled with the blessing of high-quality special effects, the audience at the scene was somewhat surprised after watching the entire film immersively.
At the end of the movie screening, the audience burst into warm applause.
Amidst the applause, Jiang Yuan also stood up and stood in front of the stage with Jiang Caihua and other creatives, preparing to interact with the scene.
In addition to selecting some questions, some guests invited to the scene also stood up and expressed their opinions.
As the most popular artist in the audience, Lu Qingge also took the microphone to share his feelings and expressed his love for this movie at Jiang Yuan's request.
After the live viewing, the emotional value given to Jiang Yuan, Jiang Caihua and other main creators was still very high.
Whether judging from the questions or the opinions shared by everyone, Jiang Yuan and others breathed a sigh of relief.
After Jiang Yuan watched it himself, he felt that the final effect of the film was much better than what he had expected.
Especially in the area of special effects, relying on advanced technology, the visual effects presented are indeed amazing.
The story always captures the emotions of the audience.
After the premiere, the reviews from film critics and media have not yet been published online so quickly, and it will take some time to write them down.
However, there are still many fans who paid attention to this premiere event.
Jiang Yuan's live event photos and red carpet photos have also begun to circulate on the Yuan Universe app.
In addition, the attendance of many artists such as Lu Qingge and Chen Zhinan also added a lot of excitement to the premiere.
Although the first wave of viewers were not able to make lengthy comments immediately.
However, they also updated their news on social media platforms and shared their thoughts in relatively brief words.
[I just watched the premiere of "The Return of the Great Sage", and I have booked the top animated movie of the year! 】

——
The film's first wave of word-of-mouth began to ferment from this brief review.
Compared with some long speeches, such simple and crude comments are more able to attract the attention of some viewers.
After the premiere, the movie immediately started pre-sale for screenings, and it was an instant hit.
