Chapter 807: Take the blame in advance (I was wrong yesterday, it has been changed, sorry)
A giant screen hall owned by Mubai Pictures.
Ji Yuxuan stood on the stage and looked at the audience. Today is the premiere of "Saw".
The audience in the audience was full. This hall is very large and can accommodate 1,000 people!
Although it is not the largest theater in the country, its size can be considered one of the top ones. This theater is also the largest theater of Mubai Pictures, and the theater chain it is located in is the largest theater chain.
This theater will be the venue for the premieres of Mubai Entertainment's future film works, and will be used to communicate closely with movie fans.
Although the original acquisition and renovation cost a lot of money, it was worth it to Chen Mubai, and this was also a scene.
On weekdays, it can also be rented to other film crews to hold premieres. In the long run, there will be no disadvantages.
A production with the investment scale of "Saw" is generally not eligible to hold its premiere here, but because it is a production of Mubai Entertainment, Ji Yuxuan can hold it here.
"Thank you everyone for coming here to support me today."
Ji Yuxuan stood on the stage and looked at the crowded crowd below and smiled: "I actually don't have much self-confidence and am a bit of a literary youth. I suffered a lot of setbacks along the way. At that time, I also had the idea of quitting this industry."
"It is really not easy to be able to stand here and talk to everyone today. I am very grateful to Chen Mubai for meeting me. He has given me many opportunities and allowed me to become a director again."
"This is the first movie I directed. There is a big difference between TV and movies. If Chen Mubai hadn't given me confidence again and again, I might not have had the courage to make a movie because I felt I wasn't capable enough. He also knew my situation.
In order to give me confidence, he wrote this script and specially gave me this series of movies. He has full confidence in me."
"Yes, this is a series of movies. When I got the script, I knew it was a very good script. Only then did I realize how much Chen Mubai trusted me. I had nothing to repay, I could only try my best to film this story.
Let everyone see this story.”
"This movie is the first one and the beginning. If it does well, I will continue to direct the sequel. If it doesn't go well, I will feel guilty and embarrassed to continue filming. I don't want to waste an excellent script, nor do I want to
What makes you think the movie is not exciting is the fault of the script."
Ji Yuxuan smiled bitterly: "You know, you can't let down someone who trusts you. So, after watching the movie, I hope you can tell me your true feelings. This movie is also an experience for me."
"In the process of getting along with Chen Mubai, I learned a lot. Now this is a test for me. Your valuable opinions are my scores. Thank you for your support!"
After speaking, Ji Yuxuan bowed deeply towards the audience.
Ji Yuxuan's words are his true inner feelings.
He was under great pressure, not from Chen Mubai or Mubai Entertainment, but from his heart.
As one of the first veterans to join the company, everyone has great trust in him and recognizes his abilities. They gave him the opportunity to direct web series and TV series, allowing him to return to this industry he loves.
At first, the company was small and there were few people. His mentality was better. As Mubai Entertainment grew rapidly and there were many talents in the company, Ji Yuxuan felt the pressure.
Ever since that incident happened to him in college, he has been less confident and always doubts himself.
It's better when filming a TV series. After all, it has the finale of the previous work, and the TV series only needs to tell a good story. Mubai Entertainment also has a golden brand, with fixed fans and audience groups, and basically there will be no drama.
But the difference between movies and TV is huge. It’s not just about telling a story well, but how to tell the story well. It seems simple but is very difficult.
He and Chen Yunteng are also the directors within the company who have started filming movies except Chen Mubai. The other directors have not yet had this opportunity, which is enough to show Chen Mubai's trust in them.
Chen Yunteng's previous film "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" was a great success and he has proven his ability. Now it's his turn.
If Chen Yunteng had not succeeded yet, Ji Yuxuan would not have felt so much pressure, but not only did he succeed, but his results were explosive and he had a high reputation in the United States. This is different.
If he fails, then the gap in ability will appear. It is also Chen Mubai's script. Chen Yunteng succeeded, but he failed. Doesn't it prove that he is not capable?
Although the company trusts him, it is important for a person to have self-awareness. He should abandon this project, otherwise it will be a failure if he continues.
Generally, the first film in a series is often of the highest quality and can attract audiences and fans. Only good reviews and reputation can lead to sequels.
If he failed in the first one, how could he have the nerve to shoot the second one?
Even if the investment is not large, the money cannot be wasted!
Moreover, this is still a critical period for Mubai Entertainment. The films produced by the company are all intended to impact the international market and increase their influence, and many foreigners have been added to them. This intention is obvious.
You cannot fail at this joint. Every failure will have a negative impact on the development of the company.
Ji Yuxuan didn't want these problems to arise because of him, so he was always under great pressure when he took over the film.
Fortunately, today is the time for the movie to be released, and it is also the time to test the results. He told everyone what he was thinking, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
What he said were true reflections. Once the movie failed, his words could be regarded as an explanation to Chen Mubai, and he would not be able to face Jiangdong's elders!
"come on!"
"you can!"
"I believe you can produce good-looking works. I am also a fan of yours. I watched the two TV series you produced and I like them very much!"
"Don't give up, your character will definitely allow you to make excellent movies~"
Ji Yuxuan's words caused thunderous applause from the audience, followed by various words of comfort.
Although many of the audience who came here today are here for Chen Mubai's scripts and the works produced by Mubai Entertainment, there are also a small number of people who are fans of Ji Yuxuan and like to watch his works.
Everyone was deeply moved when they heard Ji Yuxuan's inner words, and they all gave encouragement.
Many media and film critics at the scene were also surprised. They did not expect Ji Yuxuan to say these words.
He is preparing to take the blame once the movie hits the box office and gets a bad reputation.
Ji Yuxuan bluntly said that the script was excellent, and the company fully trusted him and gave him resources. If the quality of the work was not good, it would be a problem with his directing ability.
He has already taken the blame in advance. If the movie fails, all the responsibility will be on him, and he will also withdraw from this series of movies.
The advantage of this is that it preserves Chen Mubai’s reputation for excellent scripts, and also provides a foreshadowing for other directors to take over the remake of this series in the future.
The script is good, but the director is not. Just change the director and it will not affect the excellence of the movie. This is the hidden meaning of Ji Yuxuan's words.
“Mubai Entertainment’s cohesion is still strong!”
"No wonder the company is developing so fast. The values of this kind of company can be seen through decision-making. Employees have a high sense of belonging to the company. Even veteran-level people like Ji Yuxuan are willing to make such sacrifices, which shows their admiration for Chen Mubai."
"Chen Mubai's success is inseparable from the silent efforts of the people behind him."
"A scholar dies for a confidant. This is the case with Ji Yuxuan now. Chen Mubai is also great. A thousand-mile horse often exists but a bole does not always exist!"
"I hope this movie will not disappoint me. I look forward to Chen Mubai's growing international influence, exporting our works abroad, increasing the influence of Chinese works, and exporting Chinese culture!"
It is true that everyone is an opponent at home, and many people fight for their own interests, but when it comes to focusing on foreign countries, everyone is still unanimous in facing the outside world.
As practitioners in the film and television industry, no one does not hope that their country's works will become popular internationally. They all hope that their influence will become greater and greater, and they also hope that their country's culture can go to the world instead of staying in a corner.
The quality of "Saw" is not yet known, but after hearing Ji Yuxuan's words, everyone's favorable impression of him has increased a lot. When the time comes, they will give some respect when commenting. In the process of watching,
Be more serious.
Ji Yuxuan stepped down, and all the lights in the auditorium were turned off. It was pitch black, and everyone had time to wait for the movie to start.
...
"Xiaoya, are you sure you want to watch this movie?"
Sun Dong said: "I've seen a few movies and the reviews were pretty good. Why don't you watch those?"
"Well, I like watching horror movies~"
"Wouldn't it be nice to watch it during the day? It's a bit exciting to watch it at night..."
"It's not a ghost movie, this is a horror and bloody movie. According to the trailer, it's a mystery and suspense movie. What are you afraid of!"
Zhao Ya softly teased Sun Dong, who was a little scared.
My boyfriend is good at everything, but he is a little timid.
Sun Dong said helplessly: "Last time I accompanied you to see "The Corpse in the Mountain Village", it took a month to recover. We had to go to the toilet together at night. It was really scary..."
"ah......"
Zhao Ya blushed and felt embarrassed. Every time she went to the toilet at night, she had to call out Sun Dong. She was also scared.
However, that ghost movie was indeed too scary, but it was very enjoyable to watch!
So, this time, she came again.
However, this time it’s not a ghost movie, and it probably won’t be like last time.
"It shouldn't be so scary this time..."
"I just like watching movies like this, why don't you stay with me~" Zhao Ya pouted, holding one of Sun Dong's arms and shaking her.
"Okay, okay." Sun Dong saw Zhao Ya acting coquettishly and had no resistance.
"I'm impressed by you. I'm not very courageous. I just like watching movies like this. It's really exciting. I'll buy a ticket."
"Yeah, thank you hubby!"
Zhao Ya shouted happily, and then quickly kissed Sun Dong on the face.
She is the kind of person who is very timid, but she likes watching horror movies very much and needs someone to accompany her to not be so scared. Fortunately, Sun Dong is willing to watch with her.
The two are now officially a couple. They got married during the Chinese New Year and have been married for half a year now. They are a newlywed couple.
After marriage, the relationship between the two is still very good. Apart from going to work, Sun Dong will accompany her to do the things she wants to do during her free time, including watching movies and watching TV series.
Basically, I will follow the works of Mubai Entertainment, whether they are movies or TV shows.
However, due to time constraints, not every Mubai Entertainment work can come to the theater to support it, but when conditions permit, we will try our best to support it in the theater.
Tonight, "Saw" is released.
Zhao Ya talked for a long time before she persuaded Sun Dong to come to the theater to watch the premiere with her. It wasn't that Sun Dong was unwilling, but that he was scared by "The Old Corpse" last time and didn't dare to watch this type of movie again in the middle of the night.
After arriving at the theater, Sun Dong also hoped to switch to other movies so that he could watch them with Zhao Ya during the day, and did not want to look for excitement at night.
This is not home. I have to walk back after watching it. I watched "The Old Corpse in the Village" last time. On the way back, both of them were trembling in their hearts. They always felt like someone was following behind them, and their backs felt cold...
