This society is result-oriented. Qin Xiaobao doesn't like it very much, but he must adapt.
Movies are works created by the collective wisdom of many people. No one cares how much you have paid or experienced.
Most asked questions:
Director Qin, how much do you think the box office will be this time?
Director Qin, can he win a Hollywood movie?
Director Qin, can it have a higher box office than the previous film?
Director Qin...
Of the ten questions, nine were related to the box office, and the rest were gossip, hoping to tell what he was dissatisfied with about a certain actor.
Understandable.
The reporters' questions represent the needs of netizens. When actors do charity work, no one pays attention to it. They think it is appropriate. If there is some scandal, everyone will take advantage of it.
Qin Xiaobao doesn't have the ability and doesn't want to change, just adapt.
It’s not easy to live a good life. Let’s leave it to Superman and Wu Jing to save the earth.
I guess after a few decades, when I become an old man, I will be able to look away.
After returning from Fuzhou, Qin Xiaobao and others took a short break. Lin Xue and several other teachers were arranged to stay in the hotel. They would not leave for the time being. The premiere was about to be held, and it was too troublesome to go back and forth.
When you arrive in the magical city, the tight strings in your body can relax a little.
At this stage, all the publicity that can be done is basically in place. The movie will be released in three days. Apart from shouting a few more words on Weibo, there is not much else that can be done.
It is better to calm down and wait for the results to be announced.
Everyone had a relaxing time drinking tea, chatting, and playing mahjong.
The staff still had no time to spare. They had to collect information from major ticketing platforms, check the layout of materials in the theater, and negotiate with film critics and reporters from big V for the copy to be sent out. In short, they were very busy.
Qin Xiaobao also received calls from the actors and investors of "Let the Bullets Fly" to cheer him up.
"Supernatural" was released first, and the box office performance will also affect the film that has not yet started filming to some extent. If it sells well, it will have a bonus effect.
Naturally, I would like to express my blessings from the bottom of my heart, and hope that "Supernatural Family" will be a big seller, and it is best that it will shock everyone's jaws.
Just having fun like this, it’s the 30th, the day of the premiere.
The distributor of this premiere has changed its strategy and will not conduct advance screenings, but will screen the feature film at the ceremony.
In addition to artist friends who helped support the venue, the guests at the scene also included film critics and ordinary audiences.
There is also a doorway here.
The producer of the film knew very well what the main theme of "Supernatural Family" was. After holding several meetings, it was decided that among the 300 people invited, 80% would be women, and 90% of the 80% would be women who were married and had children.
.
Targeted.
After the movie ends, reporters will interview the audience to share their thoughts after watching the movie.
The movie itself focuses on family and the emotions between mother and child. Audiences who are married and have children should be able to understand it better and be more likely to say good things.
Qin Xiaobao also saw that for the sake of publicity, all methods were used and they were extremely diverse, so he learned from it.
At 6 pm on the 30th, the premiere started on time at Wanda Cinema in Shanghai.
The so-called premiere is actually about seeing the stars and the connections of the director and the lead actor.
There are those who are popular and have a movie that is like a film festival, and there are those who are not popular and who don't know anyone who comes.
In addition to the main creative staff of "Supernatural Family", Leslie Cheung, Jiang Wen, Andy Lau, He Jiong, Hu Ge, Xu Zheng, Deng Ziqi, Deng Chao!
A total of eight guests came, but these eight people were enough to attract everyone's attention.
Everyone came down and cheered.
There were only a few people here, and with Qin Xiaobao's request, after getting off the car, they entered the venue one by one. They not only posed in various poses on the red carpet for the reporters to take photos, but also went to the fans to take photos.
, sign autographs and chat a few words.
In addition to Huyu, Tencent has also joined the ranks of live broadcasts. They are investor representatives and must shout hard.
Qin Xiaobao wore a small gray suit and took the fat director Xiang Yang into the theater first. Then he did the reception work in the theater, chatting with the audience and film critics who were waiting inside in advance, and welcoming the guests.
To everyone's surprise, the organizer seemed confident. After everyone arrived, there was no introduction. The host reminded that the movie would officially start in five minutes.
These five minutes are probably reserved for everyone to go to the toilet.
The lights dim and the big screen lights up.
Wang Bingbing sat on Qin Xiaobao's right hand side and turned his head slightly. He seemed a little nervous and wanted to shake his hand, but he didn't dare. They were all human.
She could only touch her neck, where there was a crystal necklace hanging as a birthday gift from him.
Qin Xiaobao was really nervous. The position in the first row was obviously not suitable for watching movies, and he couldn't focus on the screen a few meters away.
When Chen He's face appeared and the movie officially started, what he wanted to do most was to turn around and see the audience's expressions.
But no, he has to be reserved, calm, and steady.
I don’t know if it’s because of the good shot or Chen He’s own sense of joy.
As soon as the image of him drooping with a dead fish face and tilting his head appeared, a chuckle erupted from the scene.
Somehow, a burst of laughter made Qin Xiaobao relax.
The film has been shot and the rest is left to you.
The entire movie is 105 minutes long. For the first 90 minutes, the theater was full of laughter.
Lin Jie is a well-known candidate for "Chinese Movies". He was invited to attend the premiere of "Supernatural Family" but did not receive a red envelope, so he decided to report based on the facts he saw.
There are a lot of words written in the notebook in my hand.
In his opinion, if it is purely a comedy, the film is good and above the standard.
Various jokes without the Internet and homophonic jokes that require money to be deducted have created various situations, making the audience feel happy and funny from the bottom of their hearts.
But the story is a little cliché.
A failed middle-aged man failed to commit suicide and was rescued with the ability to see ghosts.
It was hard to figure out at first, and I didn't know why I was being pestered.
Through spending time with ghosts day and night, I understood that it was to fulfill their wishes.
Then through short stories, various plots and jokes are introduced.
Look at the time, it's almost the end.
Lin Jie believes that the result is very simple. It must be that the male protagonist has regained his confidence by helping these people and has lived a new life since then.
I have already thought about how to squirt.
There are plenty of jokes but not enough creativity, and the publicity is full of laughter and tears?
Sorry, didn't see it.
It seems that Qin Xiaobao is not good at this type of film. Compared with "This Man is from Earth" and "Buried Alive", it is several steps behind in terms of creativity.
It seems that I can ask him this question directly later.
Do you think you are satisfied with the creativity of "Supernatural Family"?
Maybe he would be a little embarrassed.
Also, are you sure Wang Bingbing is the heroine? I feel like she is just a supporting character.
The makeup is pretty good, the two are sitting on a bench chatting, there is no sense of disharmony, and while the ghost is accepting help from the male protagonist, he is also indirectly helping him pick up girls. Obviously, the ending will be a happy ending.
But the sudden twist that followed made Lin Jie and most of the people in the theater burst into tears.
The male protagonist came to find the female protagonist with the dumplings made by the female ghost, and the two sat on a bench in the park.
The heroine opened her heart and said that people will actually lose their memory after being severely hit. After her sister learned that she would die, she did not think of her parents until the end, and then apologized to the embarrassed hero.
The male protagonist said happily that the ghosts finally fulfilled their wish and left.
Smoking, drinking, crying... brought a lot of trouble. Finally, he left and he could become a normal person.
Then he confessed to the heroine, who was actually very happy. Despite the embarrassment, they both took a dumpling and put it in their mouths.
While the hostess was eating, she realized something was wrong: "I wanted to ask yesterday. Normally, dumplings at home are stuffed with celery and pork. Why do you use chrysanthemum?"
Lin Dahai's mouth was full of dumplings and he answered naturally: "Oh, that's right. My mother said that I have never liked the taste of celery, but I like to eat chrysanthemum, so I always use chrysanthemum instead..."
Then, the music started playing and the camera slowly moved forward, showing Lin Daaileng standing there,
screen switching,
A child with the same hairstyle as him stood in the kitchen, with the back of a woman in front of him: "You are so young, you actually like to eat chrysanthemum..."
The voice is very familiar.
The screen cut back, Lin Dahai's mouth twitched, a look of sadness on his face,
Then, the woman turned around, and it turned out,
The female ghost who had been crying turned out to be Lin Dahai's mother.
He remembered it, everything came to mind.
He stood up in a daze, ignoring the exchanges between the girls next to him, and kept running, kept running,
That kid with a big fart is his brother who has always taken care of him when he was a child, that wretched fat man is his father, and that lecherous old man is his grandfather.
In an accident when he was a child, he was the only one left in a family of five.
Lin Dahai also selectively sealed this memory in his mind because of the huge impact.
The protagonist runs wildly and remembers all the way,
The entire scene was bursting into tears. The men were trying hard to take deep breaths to prevent tears from falling. The women were wiping their tears and crying directly.
Qin Xiaobao was already prepared and took out a tissue and handed it to Wang Bingbing.
Her eyes were full of tears.
After patting her hand, Qin Xiaobao turned to Chen Hexiao: "You performed great!"
Chen He nodded slightly, feeling happy in his heart. Watching the movie not only moved the audience, but also himself.
This section of the plot lasts for five minutes, allowing the audience enough time to vent their feelings and understand the whole story.
It turns out that the wishes that the previous ghosts wanted to fulfill were all wishes that were promised to Lin Dahai but were not fulfilled. The mystery was solved.
When Lin Dahai rushed home and looked around in the empty living room to talk, some viewers couldn't help it.
"You must show up!"
Normally, such impolite shouting would easily arouse the resentment of other viewers.
But today is an exception.
This audience member shouted out what everyone was feeling.
Qin Xiaobao had no doubt that if the movie ended like this, he might not be able to leave this cinema later.
During the filming, he had a serious chat with the fat director and screenwriters.
Do you want to leave such a regrettable ending?
After discussing it for a long time, I still didn’t dare.
Of course, if the protagonist fails to see his family again after learning the truth, leaving a greater regret will trigger discussion or remind people to cherish it.
But the consequences may be too serious. If you don't say anything, it will affect the box office, which is not worth the gain.
If it was a director with personality, he might do something like this. After considering all the factors, Qin Xiaobao decided to bow to the market.
Just when the protagonist thought his family had fulfilled his wish and left, when the children appeared, the audience burst into applause.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was a happy ending.
The next plot gave everyone another surprise. The scene returned to the small hotel where Lin Dahai committed suicide.
It turns out that the meeting was unsuccessful because his family members were always around and doing their best to protect him.
The lights turn on and the subtitles start.
All the guests and the audience stood up and applauded loudly.
Qin Xiaobao, Wang Bingbing, Chen He, Sun Li and others turned around and bowed to the audience to thank them.
The reporters quickly gathered their emotions and prepared for the next question and answer session. There was so much to talk about!
