Chapter 398 Premiere

"Ify, it's a box office hit."

Huang Xiaoming came with Yang Ying and congratulated him repeatedly.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Ming."

"Missing Director Li?" Huang Xiaoming asked doubtfully.

"He's inside, Brother Xiao Ming, you go in first."

"it is good."

Huang Xiaoming smiled and led Yang Ying to the cinema.

On the way, Yang Ying looked back at Liu Yifei, her eyes full of envy.

"Are we going to the engagement party?"

Yang Ying remembered the invitation letter sent to Huang Xiaoming, mainly because it was somewhat unfriendly to Huang Xiaoming at this time.

"A Romantic Affair" and "Mader 2" will be released on the same day on August 8, and "Magic" starring him and many NBA stars will also meet the audience.

Huang Xiaoming can be said to be a busy man.

"Then you must go, don't you want to go?"

Huang Xiaoming stopped and looked at Yang Ying in surprise.

"No, no, I will definitely follow you."

Yang Ying waved her hand quickly. She was not stupid. How could she miss such a good opportunity to meet a big boss.

She was afraid that Huang Xiaoming would be too busy and refuse to go, so she would have no reason to follow him.

At this time Jiang Wen also came with Zhou Yun.

"Director Jiang, Sister Zhou Yun."

Liu Yifei stepped forward and won the two of them in.

"Ify, congratulations on the box office success."

Zhou Yun said with a smile.

But Jiang Wen turned around and took a look, "Hey, isn't that Lao Tian?"

"Teacher Tian?" Liu Yifei also quickly turned her head and looked at the people on the red carpet.

"Yifei, please go and receive Director Tian first. We can just go in by ourselves." Zhou Yun said quickly, pulling Jiang Wen into the theater first.

"Teacher Tian, ​​you are here." Liu Yifei stepped forward quickly.

"Haha, your invitation has arrived. As long as I have time, I will definitely come. Besides, I also want to see if you have made any progress."

Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed loudly, "You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."

After saying that, he strode into the theater with rapid strides.

The first thing Jiang Wen and Tian Zhuangzhuang did after entering was to find where Li Mu was. At this time, Li Mu was still bragging to Wang Changtian.

"Old Wang, it's not me who said that if this movie is released, your stock will definitely soar."

Li Mu said with great confidence.

"Really or not, my stock hasn't gone up for a long time, and I don't know how to explain it to investors."

"Do you believe me?"

"If it goes up significantly, I will definitely give you something good when you get engaged. I will only give you expensive things, not the right ones."

"Fuck you, if it doesn't rise, you won't give it away.

Li Mu said angrily.

"Why don't you give it away?"

Jiang Wen just arrived and only heard half of it.

"Director Jiang."

"Mr. Wang."

Wang Changtian and Jiang Wen also bowed their hands. Everyone in the circle knew each other, although they may not have collaborated before.

"King Gang always said to give me something expensive, what are you going to give me?"

Li Mu asked with a smile.

"Damn, why are you so shameless? You ask so openly, while others are very reserved."

Jiang Wen said speechlessly, "Okay, how about I give you my restored version of "Sunny Days"."

"You're so fucking narcissistic."

It was Li Mu's turn to be speechless.

"Didn't you see that my movie was selected in the 'Venice Masters Classics' section? It's a classic, you know? This movie is my masterpiece. It's definitely not a shabby gift."

Jiang Wen waved his hand and was very proud. You must know that "Sunny Days" was his debut film. It not only shocked the international film industry, but also helped the then 17-year-old Xia Yu win the Best Actor award, becoming the oldest film in Venice. The youngest actor in the history of the festival.

Now, nineteen years later, "Days of the Sun" is once again selected for the Venice Film Festival, but this time it is selected in the "Venice Masters Classics" section, which symbolizes quality and history.

The "Venice Classics Section" aims to review and screen classic works that have been underestimated or restored in the history of world cinema.

The 29 master works shortlisted this year all have their own origins.

"The main thing is that I don't need this thing. Believe it or not, in a few years, the 'Venice Masters Classics' will also show my film."

Li Mu said confidently. "." Jiang Wen was suddenly speechless, "That's true."

"But I am quite interesting this time. The organizer of Venice asked me if I could be a judge for the main competition unit. The first thing I asked them was the time of the event, for fear of missing your engagement party."

Jiang Wen was still talking carelessly, but Li Mu did not respond. Mainly because he saw Tian Zhuangzhuang coming and quickly stood up to greet him.

In the theater, audiences attending the premiere have already arrived one after another.

Noisy and lively.

Liu Yifei, who has always been casual, wore a black women's suit. With her heroic appearance and strong aura, she led the creators on stage.

Yang Zishan and Tong Liya appeared in light blue long skirts and light pink short skirts respectively, looking very beautiful.

As for the male actors, they are very ordinary, all wearing the same suits.

After interviews with reporters and laughter and applause from the audience, the film "To Our Fading Youth" began.

The familiar campus life, the characters' twists and turns of fate and emotional entanglements slowly unfold against the backdrop of beautiful images and music.

The story of the movie "To Youth" takes place in the 90s. The 133-minute movie is clearly divided into two parts - the invincible youth in college and the cruel growth in the face of reality.

The first half of the movie is romantic and outrageous. It not only contains scenes full of youthful hormones such as smoking and fighting, but also a large number of delicate emotional scenes that can arouse the resonance of the public, such as a woman chasing a man and a close relationship.

The second half of the movie is cruel and sad. The loss of youth in adulthood and the nostalgia for the passing years make people feel melancholy.

The audience was attracted by the plot, and the whole theater was sometimes laughing and sometimes sighing.

Everyone has more or less seen the shadow of their own youth in characters such as Zheng Wei, Chen Xiaozheng, and Lin Jing, which represents the purest laughter and the most painful loss.

"Yifei's ability to control the ups and downs of emotions is much better."

Tian Zhuangzhuang lamented that compared to the first film, this one has obviously improved a lot, "And her color style is quite unique. Female directors are indeed more meticulous in this aspect."

"To Our Dying Youth" uses two contrasting colors of blue and yellow to highlight the key plots of the film and structure the entire film.

The heroine Zheng Wei realizes that she has gone from hating Chen Xiaozheng to falling in love with Chen Xiaozheng. She walks alone on the overpass to relax. In the depths of the scene is a deep and mysterious blue light, while the street lamps glow with a warm yellow light.

Chen Xiaozheng pulled Zheng Wei out of the boys' dormitory late at night. Chen Xiaozheng was wearing a light blue denim jacket, and Zheng Wei was wearing a yellow down jacket. The window in the background of the conversation was also a blend of yellow and blue lights.

Every time this contrast between blue and yellow appears, the relationship between Zheng Wei and Chen Xiaozheng will be pushed forward. At the same time, this contrast between yellow and blue also gives the characters different personalities. Zheng Wei is as bright and lively as bright yellow, and Chen Xiao is as bright and lively as bright yellow. Blue is generally deep and melancholy.

"That's what literary young women are like. This kind of blue and yellow color is really interesting in this era."

Li Mu commented with a smile.

After hearing this, Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but smile.

Liu Yifei and the other creators sat in the middle and glanced at Li Mu as if they were feeling something.

Zhou Yun quietly asked Jiang Wen: "What do you think of the movie Yifei?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Wen asked instead without answering immediately.

"I think it's okay. I'm particularly impressed. It just feels a bit separated from the front and back, but there's nothing else."

Zhou Yun thought for a while and said.

"It's not bad, but the tragic ending is different from Lao Li's commercial films. It has a touch of literary and artistic sentiment. It seems that Lao Li didn't interfere much in this movie."

At this point the movie is ending and the names of the people behind the scenes are being played.

Many viewers wiped away tears several times during the show. After all, the pain point of campus romance "breaking up as soon as they graduate" will resonate with many viewers.

At the end of the movie, the audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically to express their love for the movie.

It seems stable now, Wang Changtian secretly said happily, remembering that Han San selected "BJ Meets Seattle", the corners of his mouth curled up.

"If the box office is higher than "BJ Meets Seattle", I don't know how the mountain eagle will feel."

Wang Changtian even thought in a wicked way that he definitely couldn't say it in person, but he could think about it in his heart.

"It should be pretty good."

Yang Zishan and others looked at the audience applauding enthusiastically and felt reassured.

"The premiere of Yifei Liu's new film "To Youth" was well received by the audience, with a theater scheduling rate of 35%, which may set a new first-day box office record for a solo director's film."

"The Hollywood blockbuster "Pacific Rim" will collide head-on with "Youth" at the end of the month!"

"Wan Yuan Court Line stated that the film schedule of "Youth" will only be higher, and even Hollywood blockbusters will not lower their film schedule!"

After the premiere, major media outlets published articles one after another.

The filmmakers even rushed to write and publish film reviews.

"There is a line in the film, 'Love should be like loving the motherland, loving the mountains and rivers.'

During the screening, the audience burst into laughter, but thinking about it now makes me heartbroken.

You must know that mountains and rivers never respond, and rivers never return. When you fall in love, you can't tell whether you own the world or the world holds you in your arms, but when you leave, the world seems to have never changed because of you. You have feelings and memories, understand the causes and consequences, and learn how to love others, but you can never do it again."

Many viewers at the premiere even left their own comments on various major platforms.

"Youth is inherently imperfect, so why demand perfection from movies? Everything will change as time goes by, but youth remains the same, and it's all written in the movie."

"To Youth" is coming with such great momentum that it seems to set off a wave of nostalgia among those born in the 70s, 80s and even the 90s.

"Mr. Li, Sister Yifei, the midnight midnight screening of "To Youth" had a box office of 101 million, and the 3.1 moviegoers set a record for the midnight screening of a 2D movie this year."

Liu Yifei and Li Mu arrived at Mengying Media early in the morning, and Lu Yu couldn't wait to report the good news.

"Thank you Lu Yu!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but couldn't help but obviously didn't expect the box office to be so good.
