Of course, Xi Jin had imagined that so many people would come to the opening ceremony of his movie like today, especially when only a few people attended the opening ceremony of his first movie.
However, after so many years, this desire has become weaker and weaker. Now that I have realized the fantasy I had back then, I don’t feel that much.
After the host warmed up the scene, Xi Jin took the stage.
Xi Jin is not well-known in the eyes of ordinary people, but to these reporters, he is already a well-known director. After all, he has won many awards.
So the Spear Dash temporarily moved away from Zhang Zhong and turned to Xi Jin on the stage.
"Hello everyone, I am Xi Jin, the director of "Sophie's World". Thank you for coming to the scene today to witness this extremely important ceremony with us. As a director, I can direct a film like "Sophie's World"
, is my luck and my honor. Please rest assured that I will do my best to make this movie well. Please wait and see, thank you."
Xi Jin is not a person who is not good at words, but he doesn't like to speak on such occasions, so he just said a few words and left.
Moreover, there are many people behind him who have to go on stage to speak. If he doesn't say a few words, the people behind him will be able to say a few more. After all, the time for the opening ceremony cannot be delayed.
After Xi Jin finished speaking, the actors also came on stage to speak one by one.
The cast this time is not very strong. Except for Zhao Xinyue, a newbie, none of them are well-known. However, they are all capable actors, many of whom have worked with Xi Jin many times before.
The popularity of each actor can be seen from the audience's reaction below. When other actors came on stage, the audience applauded symbolically. When Zhao Xinyue came on stage, the reaction was obviously much more enthusiastic. After all, her support group was present.
After everyone had finished speaking, Zhang Zhong took the microphone and walked onto the stage.
The open-air stage was unobstructed, and it was around two o'clock in the afternoon, which was also the hottest time of the day. Zhang Zhong wondered if Xi Jin had set the opening ceremony at three o'clock just to choose the hottest time of the day, which meant that it was booming.
.
If this is really the case, then today's sun will satisfy Xi Jin.
Before taking the stage, Zhang Zhong paid attention to the time. There were still ten minutes before three o'clock. There was not much time left for him. Excluding at least three minutes of preparation time, he only had six or seven minutes to speak.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Zhong."
Kakaka——
Zhang Zhong squinted his eyes, and he suddenly felt that the sun at two o'clock was actually not very dazzling. In comparison, the flashes of these cameras were more lethal.
"Who are you? Where do you come from? Where are you going?"
Zhang Zhong asked the three ultimate questions in life as soon as he opened his mouth.
There was silence below, even the flashing lights waited for a while.
"I think many of you here have thought about these three questions to one degree or another. If you have thought about this question, then you already have one foot in the world of philosophy. Some may ask, so
Isn’t it true that most people are born with one foot in the world of philosophy?”
After raising a question, Zhang Zhong smiled and shook his head, "On this issue, we can change our thinking. Are we originally in the world of philosophy, but we just have one foot to step out after we are born? It seems like
That’s okay too.”
The audience below followed Zhang Zhong's words and thought, this is really the case.
Seeing the audience's reaction, Zhang Zhong smiled again and said, "Are some of you thinking that what I just said is philosophy? I regret to tell you that although what I just said is a bit mysterious, it is not
Philosophy is a kind of sophistry. What I want to tell you is that not everything in the clouds is philosophy. If you want to know what philosophy is, you can read this book "Sophie's World".
If you are too lazy to read, you can wait until the movie comes out and go to the cinema to support it. It may not be able to solve all your doubts, but you should gain something after watching it."
"Finally, I want to make a digression. The scenery on Jiaohu Island is very good. After watching the ceremony, you can walk around. It is still some distance from the lake. You can go closer to the lake. There will be
A little cooler, thank you all."
After Zhang Zhong finished speaking, he immediately left the stage and replaced the host.
The host said maybe a few words, and then the staff brought the camera to the stage.
The camera was covered with a layer of red hijab. When it was three o'clock, Xi Jin and the others took off the red hijab of the camera on time. The booting ceremony was half completed.
The remaining half is for the creative staff to offer incense.
This booting ceremony is already relatively simple. Some directors who believe in these things will make more complicated ceremonies, especially those directors from Hong Kong in the past. There is a standard process for the booting ceremony, and nothing can be wrong.
Of course, the power-on ceremony is not superstitious, it is more about having a smooth start, and there is also a little psychological effect in it.
There is no precise way to say who you worship in your heart when you offer incense. You can worship anyone.
Everyone involved in the launch is excited because it means they will start a new journey.
After the opening ceremony, the on-site creative staff were interviewed by reporters, and Zhang Zhong took his family and Liu Feng's family to stroll around the island.
There was also a launch party in the evening, and Zhang Zhong originally did not attend, but Xi Jin kindly invited him, and Zhang Zhong did not refuse.
In fact, he also wanted to communicate more with the creative staff on set because he had a lot of expectations for the movie. He hoped that if he stayed with the creative staff for a while longer, he would be able to inspire them more.
During the dinner, Zhang Zhong arranged for Hu Huifang and others to sit at a table alone, while he himself went to sit at a table with Xi Jin and others.
Except for director Xi Jin and starring Zhao Xinyue, no one else at this table was familiar to Zhang Zhong.
However, as the sponsors and authors of the original work, these creative staff are of course extremely familiar with Zhang Chong.
When Zhang Zhong sat down, he found a card in front of him, with No. 001 written on it, and the words "lucky ticket" written above the serial number.
"Oh, there is also a lottery." Zhang Zhong asked with a smile.
Xi Jin explained with a smile, "Originally I didn't plan to hold a lottery, but Philosopher's Stone Textile came to me and said that I was willing to sponsor the launch party lottery prizes. I reported this to Mr. Xu, and Mr. Xu nodded in agreement.
"
Zhang Zhong nodded and said with a smile, "Philosopher's Stone Textile seems to be quite famous in the industry."
"Yes, their silk scarves are very famous, and the first prize this time is their latest limited edition silk scarf," Xi Jin said.
"That's quite sincere." Zhang Zhong said.
Philosopher's Textile is a well-known textile brand in China and even around the world. The name may not sound very grand, but their products are very expensive.
Zhang Zhong didn't know about the new limited-edition scarf that Xi Jin was talking about, but Zhang Zhong had seen their limited-edition scarf by chance before. The price of that scarf was more than 40,000.
Since it is also a limited edition this time, it should not be cheap.
"Yes, they are very sincere this time. In addition to the first prize, they also set up a total of six levels of awards, which is a lot." Xi Jin said.
Before eating, Xi Jin and other creative staff went up to the stage to speak for a while. This time, Zhang Zhong did not go up to the stage again, but sat down and watched them.
The conversation didn't last long. We all chatted casually and then came down, and then it was time to eat.
When the banquet was halfway through, the lottery started.
No matter what the prize is, the lottery is always very exciting, and this time the prize is not to mention, so the atmosphere is very lively.
The lottery is drawn from back to front, with the lowest level prizes being drawn first, and the grand prize remaining for last.
When the fourth prize was awarded, Hong Yujiao got one. Zhang Zhong saw that Hong Yujiao was also among the recipients and thought that she was lucky. However, Zhang Zhong later felt that something was wrong.
When it came to the third prize, Hu Huifang won the prize.
When it came to the second prize, Xu Yuhan won the prize.
Zhang Zhong won the first prize himself.
There are a total of eight adults and children in their two families, and four of them have won prizes, and all of them have won the fourth prize or above.
Everyone has a prize in this lottery, but the total number of prizes for the first four levels is only more than fifty. There are more than two hundred people attending the banquet today. On average, the winning rate for fourth prizes and above is less than five points.
one.
In other words, according to the normal probability, the probability that two of the eight of them will win the fourth prize or above is relatively high.
The most paradoxical thing is that they are still separated.
I don’t deny that this situation may indeed occur, but Zhang Zhong’s first reaction was that the lottery was tampered with.
After Xu Yuhan won the prize, Zhang Zhong already felt something was wrong. When it was announced that he had won the first prize, his whole face turned dark.
He did not go up to receive the prize immediately, but turned to Xi Jin and asked, "Are you responsible for this lottery?"
Xi Jin actually felt something was wrong, so when Zhang Zhong asked him, he knew what Zhang Zhong was thinking.
"It's not me. The lottery was done by Philosopher's Textile itself. I'll go find their person in charge."
Zhang Zhong grabbed Xi Jin and said, "No, I'll take care of it."
After all, today is the start of the machine, and Zhang Zhong doesn’t want to make the scene unpleasant, and this kind of lottery manipulation is not easy to investigate.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhong raised his feet and got on the stage.
The host enthusiastically welcomed Zhang Zhong up, announced that he had won the first prize, and also grandly introduced this limited edition silk scarf.
After the host finished the introduction, he was about to hand the prize to Zhang Zhong, but Zhang Zhong did not reach out to take it. Instead, he motioned to the host to give him the microphone.
