The evening premiere started at seven o'clock. Before that, there was a quarter of an hour to answer questions from reporters and meet with fans.
As usual, Zhang Tan stood in the crowd and said little, and usually no one would ask him questions.
But this time he thought wrong. Both reporters and fans were very active in asking him questions.
Reporter: "Why did you write the spy film "The Wind"?"
Zhang Tan: "The history of the Chinese nation's Anti-Japanese War is a glorious and heroic history. There are too many characters and materials to use, and "The Wind" only captures a small fragment of it."
Reporter: "You have three movies this summer. What do you think?"
Zhang Tan: "I have so many thoughts that I won't be able to finish them all in a while, so I won't talk about them anymore. Let's watch the movie later."
Reporter: "What are your expectations for "The Wind" at the box office?"
Zhang Tan: "It's useless to have my expectations. The key is to have the audience's expectations and the market's expectations. I hope you will look forward to it more."
Reporter: "Which one are you more optimistic about is "The Wind", "Kung Fu" or "I'm Not the God of Medicine"?
Zhang Tan: "I am optimistic about them all. The themes of the three movies are different and there is no direct competition. What they want to catch up with are the best in the same genre, rather than comparing them with each other. That is meaningless."
Fan: "Zhang Tan, do you have a girlfriend? It is said that you and Su Lan are in a relationship?"
Zhang Tan: "I have seen related gossip. The power of gossip is endless. The women I have a relationship with have affected at least half of the entertainment industry. I am not a master of time management, so I am busy."
…
Zhang Tan was hoping that answering reporters' questions would be over soon, but he didn't expect that it would turn out like this and become his media meeting.
The host seemed to hear his voice and ended the meeting five minutes early. A group of actors came on stage to talk about their feelings about filming this movie.
Zhang Tan did not participate in this session, but asked Zhang Ling to take the stage. He needed more exposure.
An unexpected incident also occurred during the period. An audience member at the bottom somehow got into the front row. When the staff was not paying attention, he shouted "Song Tie - I love you!" and rushed onto the stage with open hands.
He wanted to hug the actress, but Zhang Ling stood in front of him and stopped him.
The staff quickly pulled this frustrated spectator away, who was still shouting: "Song Tie~Song Tie, I love you - my name is Hai..."
Before he could finish what he said, the staff member covered his mouth.
It was obvious that he really liked Song Tie.
If love puts aside identity and the way of showing love, then it is worthy of being moved by everyone.
After the interlude, the movie premiere began. The theater was dimly lit and pitch black. Then there was light, people, and stories on the big screen...
"The Wind" tells the story of a spy war, where thunder is heard in silence. Although there is no bloodshed, there are undercurrents and murderous intentions. The movie does a good job of creating a sense of life and death tension, from the first second to the end.
When the scene ends, the audience's minds are still tense and they can't breathe.
During the screening, film critics and self-media people who were not invited were typing on laptops placed on their knees to write down their thoughts while watching.
Different people naturally have different feelings:
"..."The Wind" is undoubtedly the perfect opening for this year's hidden dramas..."
"My expectations for "The Sound of the Wind" stem from a good story. I was fortunate enough to read the script of "The Sound of the Wind" written by Zhang Tan..."
"...The dramatic suspenseful tension pushes the plot to climaxes one after another, and the bloody torture makes people even more chilling. It can be said that "The Wind" is a rare domestic spy war masterpiece, which tells the story behind the battle for national independence.
The blood and tears are vividly presented..."
"..."The Wind" does not have a super idol to join, but it has assembled many powerful actors. The film has not yet been released, and the good stunts have already become popular, so watching old actors and actresses in action is my favorite. Although the film is very suspenseful
It's also very bloody, but not as strong as the actors' subversive performances..."
"...It's hard to imagine that the popular idol Song Tie would play such a character. She was so frightened by torture that she became incontinent. This is a completely subversive performance, but this is a real person with flesh and blood..."
"...Halfway through the movie, I can declare that this is the best spy movie this year! What I started to think about is why "The Wind" is so fascinating..."
"...The smell of blood rises into the sky. Who is the real 'old ghost' hiding behind the fog? The mystery is complicated, and the answer is exciting..."
"...Who said mainland actors can't support a blockbuster movie? They did it!..."
"...After so many years, I finally saw a domestic film that surpassed the ensemble performance of "Big Fish"..."
"What is the structure of Zhang Tan's head? I really want to pry it open and take a look..."
…
These film reviews immediately appeared on the Internet, boosting the Douban score of "The Wind", which reached 9.6 points when it opened.
Although the ratings will definitely drop as the number of moviegoers increases, this opening score is already very, very high.
Zhang Tan was half-hearted. He had already watched the movie, and now he was scrolling through his mobile phone to read public comments on the Internet.
Overall, it was affirmation and praise. This was what he expected. He could put his heart back in his stomach and feel free to take the children out to play tomorrow.
After the movie was finished, there was thunderous and lasting applause. Director Ren Zhicheng led the creative staff to the stage again to thank everyone for coming.
Tonight's event concluded successfully.
After everyone went back, they met at the bar, drank some wine, chatted and relaxed.
My heartstrings have been tense for a long time, and I can finally relax a little.
"This is not the end, but the starting point. Next, we must always pay attention to the direction of public opinion. Our publicity cannot stop. The next stop is Chongqing." Director Ren Zhicheng encouraged.
Everyone agreed with a roar. Everyone saw the enthusiastic response from the market through the Internet. At this moment, enthusiasm was high and morale was high.
After leaving the bar, Zhang Tan returned to the hotel. He was in a room by himself. After thinking about it, he knocked on the door and came to Teacher Jiang's room. He wanted to say hello to the children and say that he was back.
It was Xiaobai who opened the door. She pulled Zhang Tan into the room with a smile, asked him to sit down, and called Xi'er to perform a piece for him.
"What to play?" Zhang Tan was very interested.
"Hahaha~~"
Xiaobai pulled Xier over, and the two little ones stood in front of him and started acting.
Teacher Jiang smiled and explained to Zhang Tan that they had learned a Sichuan opera piece from "The Legend of White Snake" tonight, and now they couldn't wait to show it to Zhang Tan.
"Okay, this is the quintessence of the country. What belongs to the nation belongs to the world. I'll wait and see." Zhang Tan said.
Dunzi also came and stood aside, applauding before the performance started. Xiaobai asked him to applaud later.
"Do you know who I am?" Xiaobai asked Xi'er.
Xi'er's little chicken pecked at the rice, nodded and said: "I know, Xiaodie~~~"
Xiaobai: "Then you instigated me, who am I?"
Xi'er: "You are the white lady~ Then do you know who I am?"
Xiaobai: "I know, you are Xu Xian~"
Only then did Zhang Tan suddenly realize that it had already begun! He thought the two of them were saying hello.
