Chapter 322 'A Story More Sad than Sad' Movie Watching Party
Time passes day by day.
The filming of "Garland Under the Mountain" was actually quite enjoyable.
It can be said that the actors are meeting good talents and opponents when they play, and it is very enjoyable.
Likewise, Li Yi, as a director, really enjoyed working with these actors with superb acting skills.
However, Li Yi had to temporarily hand over the crew to assistant director Fu Rongguang.
Because "A Story More Sad Than Sad" has been completed, an internal screening will be held soon.
At this time, it would be unreasonable for Li Yi not to show up.
In fact, Li Yi really delegated power this time. Even after the filming of the movie was completed, Li Yi did not interfere at all in the later editing, but let Zhuo Yixiong and others edit according to the script and story.
It wasn't until after the editing was completed that Li Yi took the time to look at the samples, and he was quite satisfied.
The story of "A Story More Sad than Sad" is actually very cliche. The reason why the reputation gap between the Peninsula version and the Treasure Island version in my memory is so big lies in the way the story is told and the acting skills of the actors.
In this world, the actors in "A Story More Sad Than Sad" cannot be compared to "Wreaths Under the Mountain".
But the actors chosen are definitely better than the Baodao version of the film that I remember.
However, although "A Story More Sad Than Sad" is labeled as a co-production and the work of director Li Yi, people in the industry basically know that Li Yi is more of a producer and director of this movie.
The screenwriter is not the director at all!
Of course, when promoting to the outside world, it will definitely still be in the name of director Li Yi's work.
But because of this, if "A Story More Sad than Sad" wants to be treated like Li Yi's past works, it must see the results of this screening.
Chinese Valentine's Day is a time when romance movies gather together, and it is also in the summer season. It is impossible to monopolize this time.
Therefore, watching movies is particularly important.
Because this is related to how many films the movie "A Story More Sad than Sad" can get!
"You are very generous, aren't you worried about ruining your own brand?" Mu Nanxing still complained about Li Yidang's resignation as the shopkeeper.
After all, if it were really a movie directed by Li Yi himself, then most of these movie watching parties would just be a formality.
Even if the results of the movie screening are not good, you can still get a good ranking.
But this time it's different. Although Li Yi is still the screenwriter and has the title of director, it still makes the theaters somewhat doubtful.
"Don't worry, I've seen the samples, I'll take the pictures, it's almost like this." Li Yi said nonchalantly.
In fact, the most nervous people are Zhuo Yixiong.
After all, in this movie, it can be said that Li Yi completely delegated power to them, although their cooperation was pretty good.
But the final result still needs to be tested by the market.
"Welcome, please come in."
"Long time no see, Manager Qiu."
"Hey, Manager Zhang is here too."
"You are the representative of Miki Cinema Line, right?"
"..."
Representatives from major theater chains came in droves. Mu Nanxing, Fang Dongbai, and other executives from Fanhai Film and Television shook hands with the visitors from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Now, with the help of Li Yi's influence, Fanhai Films is no longer the original Fanhai Films.
It can be said that in China, in terms of distribution capabilities, Oceanwide Films can at least rank among the top ten.
And these theater chain representatives are also old acquaintances.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a magic mirror walked over. Yes, it was Zhong Feng, known as the Sunglasses Brother and the Black-faced God.
Next to Zhong Feng was a young girl carrying a bag, just like the first time.
However, it is not my niece Cong Shanshan.
In fact, Zhong Feng also has a feeling that things are different and people are different. His niece Cong Shanshan is already married.
And Zhong Feng also switched jobs from Wanxing Cinema to Dadi Cinema, and Li Yi is no longer the same Li Yi.
"Manager Zhong, please come in quickly!" Mu Nanxing came up and greeted with a smile.
Although Zhong Feng switched jobs to Dadi Cinemas, his influence in the industry has not declined but increased.
The black-faced god is still the black-faced god.
Several years have passed, but Zhong Feng still seldom misses the mark, which has established his reputation as a fiery person in the industry.
What's interesting is that I don't know since when, when representatives of theater chains attended some movie viewing parties, they would often bring old ones with new ones, men with women, and women with men. They usually appeared in "pairs".
Including Zhong Feng is no exception.
However, this model has been proven to be very effective.
Because, even if they are representatives of theaters, it is usually difficult to say that they can accurately control the situation.
For this reason, generally speaking, you have to look at what kind of movie it is, such as "A Story More Sad than Sad", a romance movie released on Chinese Valentine's Day.
The target audience for a film like this is definitely young people.
Therefore, most of the theater representatives present today will bring a young man with them, and almost all of them are young girls.
Because, for some movies, the reaction of the real target audience can often provide a good reference for theaters.
"Xiaojuan, do you remember everything I said?" After sitting down in his seat, Zhong Feng looked at the newcomer Rao Xiaojuan he had brought with him.
"I know the manager, and I have remembered it. My current identity is not a moviegoer, but an ordinary viewer!" Rao Xiaojuan said.
"Yeah!" Zhong Feng nodded, still expressionless.
In fact, there are many theater representatives like Zhong Feng who are proud of the young moviegoers they have brought.
It's actually very simple. Audience tastes change too quickly.
Even representatives of these old theater chains have read countless movies, but sometimes it is difficult to accurately grasp the selling points of the movie.
For example, "Young Times", representatives of old theater chains like them, couldn't watch it at all, but some young people thought it was a top-notch movie.
"Click, click!" A clicking sound suddenly came from Zhong Feng's ears, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Rao Xiaojuan beside him.
Rao Xiaojuan's hand holding the popcorn suddenly stopped.
"Um, manager, do you want to eat?" Rao Xiaojuan asked with a smile.
Zhong Feng looked at Rao Xiaojuan through the magic mirror.
Rao Xiaojuan explained: "Well, I usually watch movies with my friends and eat popcorn!"
Hearing this, Zhong Feng said calmly: "Well, very good! Keep up the good work!"
Then turn back.
Rao Xiaojuan breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly picked up the Coke and took a deep sip.
At this time, the lights in the theater are turned off and the movie viewing officially begins!
Subtitles passed.
At the beginning of the film, the singer didn't want to sing those bad songs, but he was eager to sing them.
At this time, the driver played an unknown record.
Instead, it caught the singer's attention.
The story begins here!
They began to search for the original author of the song.
The corners of Zhong Feng's mouth twitched slightly. Although the movie was not directed by Li Yi, the taste was still the same. It was another movie that started with a flashback!
