Seeing the final scene of Li Weijie getting into the police car and driving away, and Ayu and her son holding their heads in pain, Luo Dongrui felt uneasy.
This movie called "Manslaughter" was something he saw on Penguin Video. Although you can only watch it if you have a VIP membership. However, Luo Dongrui, who has never paid up his membership to get a VIP, felt that it was worth it just for this movie.
.
After watching the movie, Luo Dongrui searched for information about the movie. When he searched for the director, Luo Dongrui discovered that the director named Zhang Hao was actually the same age as him, born in 1986.
Damn! Are you the same age as him? You can make a movie like this. Luo Dongrui himself has only just started working and works from 9 to 5 every day.
Is there really any difference between people?
Luo Dongrui wanted to see if Zhang Hao had any other works, and after searching, he saw the trailer for "Genius Gunslinger".
Luo Dongrui was curious for a moment, so he clicked to play without carefully reading the detailed introduction of the trailer. Originally looking at the title of the movie, Luo Dongrui thought it was a gunfight movie, and it probably told the story of a genius sniper.
After watching the trailer, I realized that it was not the case at all.
It turns out that this is a story about cheating in an exam. Not to mention, it looks like that in the trailer.
In view of the good experience he had with "Manslaughter", Luo Dongrui, who never went to the cinema, became interested and planned to wait for the movie to be released. He invited a few good friends to go to the cinema to watch it.
Looking at the release time again, it is in May, which is still early!
When he learned about the film's release date, Luo Dongrui was a little bored for a moment, feeling that the days of waiting were empty and he wanted to fast forward to May.
Not only does he think so, but fans who are interested in Zhang Hao's new work because of "Manslaughter" also feel the same after watching the trailer.
There are also fans of Big Power. Although "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" premiered in June last year, it was not aired on stars until February this year during the Chinese New Year.
At the beginning of 2010, the mainstream of TV dramas was still broadcast on stars, which was one of the prerequisites for blockbuster dramas. Internet broadcasting was not that popular, and there were not that many video users.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy III" was the first to make Lao Hu popular again. Da Mi Mi, the heroine, received relatively little attention, but despite her high popularity, she still relied on this drama to become the hottest heroine in February and March.
One of the stars.
After that, Lin Xinru's drama "Beauty's Scheming" was also aired. Although Da Mi Mi can only be regarded as the third female lead in terms of roles, she can't stand up to the popularity of this drama!
So in March, apart from Lin Xinru, the most popular actress on the Weibo forum was Da Mi Mi.
Therefore, Da Mi Mi began to quickly accumulate fans, and the potential popularity she had accumulated since her career exploded rapidly. Now, Da Mi Mi can be said to be one of the four mainland celebrities.
After that, the trailer of "The Gunslinger" was released. As an absolute heroine, she received extraordinary attention.
However, the media and some movie fans expressed doubts that a director under 24 years old, a female lead under 24 years old, and three young leads who have not left school can make a good movie?
Even though this director has previously produced a film called "Manslaughter", but looking at the cast, there is no desire for people to go to the cinema to watch it.
In other words, the big power has no box office appeal. The box office appeal of "Genius Gunman" is all Zhang Hao's.
If it were a big movie a year later, there wouldn't be this problem. After all, a bad movie like "Far Cry" could be pulled into a box office of more than 90 million by the big movie alone.
But now, although Da Mi Mi's popularity has gradually increased this year, in the film industry, she is just a newbie.
In fact, this is not to blame because of the power of the mainland. Who dares to say that they have box office appeal? Actors with appeal are almost all Hong Kong stars.
Especially for mainland actresses, most of them can only work as vases in commercial blockbusters. They are still the type of vases with numbers 2, 3 and 4, and they have to fight hard to grab the vases with number 1.
In last year's "The Wind", Zhou Xun and Li Binbing teamed up to break the dilemma of actresses in commercial films only being able to make vases for others.
Therefore, although Zhang Hao has certain achievements, the market expectations for "Genius Gunslinger" are mixed, and there may be more negative ones.
Because of this, China Film and Bona once again organized an internal preview, with senior executives, theater management, and film selection experts watching it.
Before the trailer was released, the finished film of "The Gunslinger" had already been submitted for review.
Although the subject of cheating in exams is a bit sensitive, the background is not in mainland China, but it is an international exam. So the men with big scissors did not cut it, and directly gave it the leading mark.
Obtaining the leading logo means that the film can be released in theaters at any time. However, it is impossible to enter theaters in a hurry, and detailed market assessment is required.
Is China Film organizing an internal preview screening? Pang Shusheng, who gave "Manslaughter" a high rating last time, is naturally on the list.
Seeing Zhang Hao again, Pang Shusheng took the initiative to say hello: "Director Zhang, I am looking forward to this movie of yours, and I hope you will have a wonderful performance soon."
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pang, I won't let you down."
Liu Yongyun, manager of the theater department of China Film Group, and Zhang Hao said: "I have told Mr. Han a long time ago that we will arrange the largest filming schedule for "The Genius". Mr. Han still wants to see the results of the film."
"Mr. Liu, this is also the process. The quality of the film is excellent. It won't be too late for your theater to arrange the film again." Zhang Hao said.
"That makes sense, let's go in!"
The two of them entered the screening room together. Unlike last time when they were sitting in the corner, Zhang Hao's status had changed this time. He moved directly to the second row, just behind the third master's seat.
After chatting with the people around him for more than ten minutes, the third master hurried over with his assistant.
Everyone was just about to stand up and say hello when the third master waved and said: "Everyone sit down, let's get started!"
The film started playing directly. As soon as it started, people present at the preview felt that the quality of the film was extraordinary.
Texture is a very mysterious thing, an indescribable feeling. Just like music, listening to Jay Chou's music is different from that of other singers. It has an inexplicable sense of high-end.
At this moment in the screening room, many high-level executives felt a sense of high-end watching "The Genius". They felt that this film was very special and exciting compared to current Chinese-language films.
Pang Shusheng was full of praise for the extreme expressiveness of the film's images. In some shots, the images filled the entire screen and were very impactful.
I heard that Zhang Hao used an IMAX camera when filming this film, which is in line with international advanced technology. It’s amazing!
In the past, Pang Shusheng had absolutely no idea what IMAX was and what 3D was. In the traditional concept, these two things were not used for making movies.
However, the release of "Avatar" triggered a global movie-watching frenzy, and the mainland was no exception.
More than a dozen IMAX theaters in the Mainland are showing "Avatar", and it's so hard to get a ticket. An IMAX movie ticket has even been sold by scalpers for thousands of dollars, but demand still exceeds supply.
Wanda Cinema Line has reached a cooperation with IMAX Corporation and will continue to expand IMAX cinemas in the next few years. It is conceivable that new technologies such as IMAX and 3D will be the hottest in the next few years.
Zhang Hao was very prophetic and used new technology to shoot the film, although "Genius Gunman" is a 2D film.
But Pang Shusheng believes that this is Zhang Hao's maturity. IMAX is okay, but 3D will definitely increase the production cost. The production cost of 20 million is probably not enough to complete this film.
Moreover, Pang Shusheng went to see "Avatar". To be honest, the visual effects were impeccable, but the plot was still the same and there was nothing new.
"The Gunslinger" is different. This is a movie with a strong story and a very exciting one.
When Pang Shusheng watched it, he felt like he was watching a Hollywood spy movie. It felt very enjoyable to watch the movie.
After exchanging opinions with several film selection experts around me, everyone agreed that "The Genius" is a film that can be rated A+.
After the film screening ended, everyone walked out of the screening room to have a meeting to rate "The Genius".
The Third Master watched the video and was very satisfied with it, so he asked Zhang Hao to have tea in his office.
"The movie is good, you are very attentive." Third Master praised.
Zhang Hao was very modest: "This was all accomplished with your support, Uncle Han. Without your and Mr. Yu's strong support, I may not have been able to make such a movie."
"You can't do it if you have support but don't have matching talent. In the final analysis, you can do it on your own." After the third master finished speaking, he changed the subject: "I heard that Mrs. Chen Gezi told you not to get involved in the mainland film industry.
Have you offended her again?"
Zhang Hao said helplessly: "It's not that I have to offend her, it's that she has to have a hard time with me. She laughed at my mother before and now she has banned the starring role in my movie, deliberately to have a hard time with me."
The third master understood clearly and said helplessly: "It seems that your contradictions are a bit difficult to resolve."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Han, you troubled me last time by trying to find a matchmaker." Zhang Hao lowered his head and said.
The third master waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, but you have to understand that I cannot end up personally."
There was something in the third master's words, and Zhang Hao immediately understood: "Uncle Han, don't worry, our conflicts are only in the movie and will not spread."
"That's good, let's drink tea..." The third master was very satisfied with Zhang Hao's attitude, and he felt more at ease.
Decadent, in bad condition, unable to code (crying...)
