In addition to showing popular films, the large screening room on the first floor can also be used as a multi-functional hall and host some external activities that require high audio-visual effects.
The movie premiere held now is one of the most important events held by the Grand Screening Hall. Holding this kind of event is not only highly economical, but will also be of great help in establishing the cinema's position in the Hong Kong film circle in the future.
.
This premiere will be attended by the bosses or senior executives of many Hong Kong film companies. All theater staff have been mobilized to make this event a success so as to create a demonstration effect and attract more customers and fans.
The live event for the premiere was held in the Grand Screening Room.
Because "The Last Emperor" is an international co-production and there are very few actors in Hong Kong, the crew of this premiere invited a lot of people from the entertainment industry, but the audience did not invite too many, and the large screening hall with 300 people can seat them.
.
Three months ago, when "An Autumn Fairy Tale" premiered here, a large number of movie fans actively requested to participate in the test screening, so not only a large screening room was opened, but also a screening room with a capacity of 200 people was opened.
The audience watched the premiere held in the large screening hall through real-time broadcast.
There is no need to bother with today's premiere, one hall is enough. Because the box office expectations for the movie are not very high, the theater only arranged three screening halls to play the film during the premiere.
After about half an hour of introduction to the shooting situation and interaction with the crew, the VIP screening room and film critics screening room (small screening room) will play the film at the same time as the large screening room. At that time, the officials present, film company executives and film critics will go there respectively.
Go watch movies in those two halls.
Sun Dahai did not have an invitation letter, so he did not enter the large screening room. He and the staff gathered at the entrance of the screening room. The door was open, and he could see what was going on inside.
Under the clever guidance of the gag host, the crew introduced themselves one after another, and then the director, screenwriter and other creative staff introduced the creative process.
The next step is the favorite part for the general audience, where the director and starring actors interact with the audience. Of course, many of the reporters and audience members who asked questions were shills arranged by Youlian Company, otherwise most of the questions would have been asked
Ren Kuei. Who knows that among the crew members present, he was the only one from Xiangjiang.
Although a few of them were relatively tired, and the questions from reporters and spectators were quite weird and tricky, they had already experienced this kind of scene once in Italy yesterday, so they could handle it easily.
Half an hour later, the event ended. Landico and Gabriel accompanied Ying Lao, Shao Liushu and others to the VIP screening room. Sister Fen organized the film critics to go to the small screening room, leaving many seats vacant in the large screening room.
In addition to arranging photojournalists and cameramen who are always busy around, these seats are also a bit wealthy. Sun Dahai sneaked in quietly with Hu Cheng and Gao Yi, found a corner to sit down, and prepared to watch a movie.
A few minutes later, the lights in the screening room gradually dimmed, and the movie "The Last Emperor" was officially screened in Hong Kong.
Although Sun Dahai had seen this film in his previous life, he had unfortunately forgotten all about it.
This kind of movie itself is not the type that Sun Dahai likes. Even though Sun Dahai has a large investment share in the film, he would never go to the cinema to watch it if it weren't for the starring role of Ren Kuei.
Although his memory has been greatly strengthened after his rebirth, it is not very effective for something that has almost no memory.
Compared with the plot, lines and classic scenes of the movie, Sun Dahai has some memories of some of the comments the movie received after its release.
Many of them criticized the choice of the leading actor in the original film. First, they said that his identity as an American actor and his mixed-race appearance made people feel uncomfortable. The second was his appearance. For an actor who is too sunny and handsome, whether
It is suitable to play a Chinese emperor who grew up in the inner courtyard of the palace in a biographical film.
I remember that in the Internet age, some good people organized movie fans to select the best actors for "The Last Emperor". The result was that Chen Daoming and Tony Leung Ka Fai ranked in the top two, and Wang Zhiwen ranked third.
In fact, both Chen Daoming and Tony Leung Ka Fai played the roles of emperors of the late Qing Dynasty before the filming of the movie "The Last Emperor" began, and they were recognized by the film and television industry and the audience.
Chen Daoming played the role of young Puyi in the TV series "The Last Emperor" filmed by the China TV Drama Production Center in 1984, for which he won the "Golden Eagle Award" for Best Actor and the "Feitian Award" for Outstanding Actor.
Not to mention Tony Leung Ka-fai, who played the role of Emperor Xianfeng in the films "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain" directed by the great director Li Hanxiang.
Although Tony Leung Ka Fai was banned by the Bay Area authorities for several years because of this, forcing him to make a living by running a street vendor, but because of these two films, he won the Ministry of Culture's Special Award for Outstanding Film and the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor.
After Sun Dahai watched it, he also felt that the role of Puyi should be played by an actor who is not very handsome. The appearance and temperament should be more feminine, but the heart is full of a kind of morbid madness, and he will vent hysterically from time to time.
That's too far.
Anyway, the current version of "The Last Emperor" stars Ren Kuei. Sun Dahai has money but is willful. He has changed history a little. Now it depends on whether his performance can be recognized by the film industry and accepted by the audience.
The movie officially started playing at 8:15. The 150-minute film length is a little shorter than the previous version, which also makes it easier for the audience to accept.
Amid bursts of applause from the audience, the movie "The Last Emperor" slowly came to an end. Sun Dahai was relieved when he saw everyone's response was very good.
It was almost eleven o'clock at this time, and the crew came on stage to accept the applause from the audience, and then respectfully sent the audience off.
Some people in the film and television industry who had something to do also left first, but most people stayed and everyone would go to a cocktail party together later. Everyone regarded this as an industry party.
Basically, everyone drove to Future Cinema, but Youlian still arranged a backup vehicle to pick up and drop off guests. Sun Dahai and the others also followed.
In the grand banquet hall of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, a Western-style cocktail party was going on. At this time, half of the famous and powerful people in the Hong Kong film and television industry had gathered here.
Several major movie moguls, celebrities, and others were chatting about topics they cared about. The remaining filmmakers were walking around the venue, chatting with old and new friends.
As soon as Sun Dahai entered the hall, before he could see clearly what was going on inside, he was caught by Fatty Wang who had been waiting for a long time.
