Chapter 186 Reflection
  "I heard that Liu Yan is an artist of Guangguang, and Director Wang has a good relationship with Mr. Wang of Guangguang."

"Director Wang felt sorry for not being able to participate in the investment in "Space Traveler", so he gave the role of the second female lead to Liu Yan."

"I don't know if this is really the case?"

Yang Yan looked at Liu Yan on the stage and muttered in his heart.

These gossips were told to her by her agent, but they were not truthful.

On the stage, Wang Shu expressed his sincere gratitude to the industry insiders who came to the scene on behalf of all the creative staff.

After he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

Jing Wei, the host of "Yangshi 6" specially invited by China Film Distribution, timely hosted at this time: "I just asked the director and actors of the "Love Traveler" crew to share with us the feelings of filming "Love Traveler". Now, let’s start with Wang Shu, the soul of this film, please direct Wang.”

Wang Shu faced many industry insiders and media reporters in the audience and answered with a smile: "Speaking of which, "Time Traveler" is about to be released. I am personally very happy."

"Many people here are able to gather together for the first time in such a long time. They have never been together like today before."

"It is also a joyful thing for everyone to be able to come together today."

"This movie was made by the whole crew, and we worked together to complete such a movie."

"I am very happy to be here today, and thank you all for your attention to "Space Traveler", thank you."

After Wang Shu finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

After the applause subsided, Jing Wei then interviewed Sun Li and motioned for Sun Li to speak.

Sun Li took the microphone and said with a sigh: "I am really grateful to Director Wang for being able to play the heroine of "Space Traveler"."

"Without Director Wang's favor, I wouldn't have been able to get this role, and I wouldn't have been able to sit here today."

"The filming of "Time Traveler" made me feel a lot of family affection. The atmosphere of cooperation between the director and the actors moved me very much."

"At the same time, I would also like to thank everyone on the crew for their hard work."

"Thank you all for helping us."

"Also, I hope everyone likes our movie. Thank you."

"Finally, Director Wang is really great. If you go to the cinema and watch the movie, you will definitely not regret it."

The last words Sun Li added made the audience applaud and burst into laughter, and many people smiled happily.

Deng Chao sat under the stage, looking at Sun Li on the stage, looking at Yourong with envy at the same time.

He is now also moving closer to the film industry.

It's just that he worked hard, and at most he could only get some supporting roles in movies.

As for Sun Li, she acted with Li Lianjie last year and starred in Wang Shu's movie this year.

Both the former and the latter are resources that others envy.

On the stage, Jing Wei began to interview Liu Yan and motioned for Liu Yan to speak.

Liu Yan took the phone, sat upright and said, "I can't finish it in one sentence. I'll keep it short."

".I want to thank Director Wang for inviting me to participate in the movie "Space Traveler". Thank you Director Wang for giving me the opportunity to allow a newcomer like me to appear on the screen. Thank you!"

"And thank you to Director Wang, Teacher Wei, Lili and the crew for taking care of me. I'm really grateful."

"Well, I would also like to thank everyone for your participation today. Please help us promote "Space Traveler" so that more people can watch it. Thank you."

The audience burst into applause, encouraging Liu Yan, the newcomer.

Jing Wei then interviewed Wei Zongwan, and after Wei Zongwan finished speaking, he continued to interview other actors and crew members.

At the end of this session, more than half of the premiere of "Space Traveler" has passed.

Next, singers Sun Nan and Zhang Shaohan, invited by Weng Li, the head of China Film Distribution, took the stage to sing one after another.

Last time, the male singers were Guang Liang and Zhang Shaohan.

This time, it's Sun Nan and Zhang Shaohan.

With the singing performance over, it was time for dinner.

After the dinner is over, some of the people who got the "tickets" can go to the cinema to watch the movie.

Of course, not only some of the people who got the "tickets" at the dinner party were able to go to the theater to watch the movie.

Outside the venue, there were many ordinary viewers who were lucky enough to get movie tickets through random draws held by China Film Distribution and were able to go to the theater to watch the movie together.

The movie theater where the premiere is held and the venue where the red carpet ceremony of the premiere is held are two different places. Therefore, ordinary audiences basically do not come to the red carpet scene, but go directly to the movie hall to wait for admission to watch the movie.

During the dinner, people were moving around, chatting with each other.

Some people are really chatting, and some people are chatting with a purpose.

Many people in the industry came here not because they wanted to watch the few minutes of footage on the big screen, nor because they wanted to listen to what Wang Shu and others said, but because they wanted to expand their connections during the dinner.

Many people who don't know each other have made acquaintances or made impressions through this method, and then cooperated.

"Director Wang, long time no see." Lin Longxuan led Zhang Shaohan to Wang Shu, made a toast gesture with the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile.

"Long time no see." Wang Shu saw it was Lin Longxuan and Zhang Shaohan and responded with a smile.

"Director Wang." Zhang Shaohan waited until his agent finished greeting Wang Shu and immediately shouted eagerly.

"Long time no see." Wang Shu heard this, looked at Zhang Shaohan, and repeated his previous words with a smile.

Lin Longxuan then started chatting with Wang Shu, Zhang Shaohan also interrupted from time to time, and the three of them laughed from time to time.

This time, Lin Longxuan did not mention Zhang Shaohan's acting in an idol drama, but mainly focused on bringing the two parties closer.

He also knows that although Wang Shu has been filming idol dramas, the heroines are looking for actors of the level of Sidan Shuangbing.

His own Zhang Shaohan is far behind.

If you are still thinking about Wang Shu inviting Zhang Shaohan to star in an idol drama at this time, you may not be able to recognize your own weight.

There were many people holding wine glasses looking for opportunities to chat with Wang Shu. Lin Longxuan and Zhang Shaohan were self-aware, so they didn't chat much with Wang Shu.

Fan Binbin was dressed very beautifully today. She came to Wang Shu and said with a smile: "I wish Director Wang a great success in his movie." "Thank you." Wang Shu replied politely.

When Fan Binbin saw Wang Shu being so polite, he gave him a resentful look. Knowing that no one was around, he whispered, "It's been a long time since I went out for a walk with Director Wang."

"When will Director Wang have time, can we go out for a walk together again?"

Wang Shu pretended to sigh and answered: "I'm afraid there won't be any time in the near future."

"Recently I have to go to other cities to attend movie premieres, either flying here or there."

"It's okay." Fan Binbin also knew that Wang Shu was telling the truth, so he responded softly, and then said softly, "We will get together when you have time in the future."

Zhou Xun originally wanted to talk to Wang Shu, but when he saw Fan Binbin talking to Wang Shu from a distance, he stopped immediately.

If it weren't for Wang Shu's movie premiere red carpet, she wouldn't have come at all.

Next, Jiang Wenli, Qin Hailu, Chen Hao, Yang Mi, Yan Danchen and others all came over to chat with Wang Shu for a while.

Wait until the dinner is almost over, then go to the movie theater to watch the movie.

It is now a screening of the premiere, not the official release on September 9 (Friday), so there is one and only one cinema that has conducted screenings.

Zhou Xun, Fan Binbin, Qin Hailu and other people who were familiar with Wang Shu all had "admission tickets", and after arriving at the theater, they sat in and watched the movie smoothly.

At the same time, Feng Xiaogang was also interviewed by Sina Entertainment reporters.

Sina Entertainment Reporter: "I would like to ask Director Feng, if you exclude the influence of the outside world on you, what score are you prepared to give to this movie? Will it exceed the full score of 100?"

Feng Xiaogang replied: "I think I am more confident about this movie, because I have a relatively good judgment on the audience for a long time. The sustained high box office of my movie is not just a matter of luck. If I am lucky, I can hit it once or twice." It’s impossible to get five, six, or seven times. It’s all a matter of luck. You say my film is so good. I definitely disagree. I think this film still has a lot of room for success. I don’t think it’s 100 points. You can only go there when you retire. It's still early, so I'll give you a high score now, otherwise you won't be able to do it in the future. So I think this movie is not bad. More objectively speaking, the audience will like to watch it, but it is definitely still There is a lot of room for improvement.”

A reporter from Sina Entertainment sensed Feng Xiaogang's confidence and asked: "Today, Director Wang's film is having its premiere. If nothing else, it will be released on the 29th of this month."

"Does Director Feng think the release of "Space Traveler" will have an impact on "The Banquet"?"

Feng Xiaogang said with a smile: "Instead of worrying about the impact of the release of "Love Traveler" on "The Night Banquet", it is better to worry about the impact of the release of "The Baby Project" on "The Night Banquet"."

Although this was not a direct answer, it clearly showed that Wang Shu's "Time Traveler" was not taken seriously.

For Feng Xiaogang, "Baby Project" starring Chen Long and Louis Koo is the main competitor to influence the box office of "The Banquet".

Wang Shu's "Space Traveler" is likely to suffer a big somersault under the attack of these two movies.

After hearing this, a reporter from Sina Entertainment immediately asked: "Director Feng. Isn't he optimistic about Director Wang's "Space Traveler"?"

Feng Xiaogang answered with a smile, "It's not that I'm not optimistic, but it's well known that Wang Shu is good at shooting art films."

"Commercial movie. This is his first attempt."

"The first attempt at a commercial film is said to be novel."

"It's not that it's bad, but Brother Chen Long's "Baby Project" will be released at the same time as him."

"Maybe. It will have a big impact."

Thinking that Zhou Xun would also collaborate with Wang Shu in a movie, Feng Xiaogang, who had always liked to show off, became more tactful.

In his opinion, Wang Shu may really have some skills when making art films.

Can make commercial films
  In front of him, "the most powerful commercial film director in the country", he was like a baby just learning to crawl.

In the infant stage, I didn't just shoot some conventional commercial films, but instead did some novel tricks.

He felt that what was waiting in front of Wang Shu could only be a big lesson.

The screening of "Space Traveler" has begun in the screening room.

Jiang Wenli, Qin Hailu and others all watched attentively. As actors who had participated in "The Tuner", they clearly knew Wang Shu's ability in writing scripts and Wang Shu's ability in directing.

I have high expectations for the movie.

Before they came, they felt that Wang Shu's "Time Traveler" would be good.

Especially the clips they had seen before, including the setting of traveling through time and space to change the trajectory of fate, as well as the funny clips, all made their eyes shine.

Before this, Jiang Wenli and Qin Hailu had also heard that "Time Traveler" was a time-travel movie.

However, they subconsciously thought that the form of time-travel was to conduct a time-travel at the beginning of the movie, and then the story unfolded from the perspective of the time traveled back.

Who knows, it's not such a commonplace thing.

Rather, it is a chain reaction caused by the protagonist constantly traveling back to the past through time and space to change the trajectory.

The story revolves around the butterfly effect caused by the protagonist constantly traveling back to the past to change the trajectory of his destiny, rather than traveling to the past at the beginning of the conventional movie. It unfolds from the perspective of the background of the times.

The two are essentially different in the form of presentation.

"No wonder everyone is saying that Wang Shu's "Space Traveler" is a very novel movie." Jiang Wenli thought in her heart, "Looking at it now, it is indeed very novel."

"Although it is also a time-travel movie, it is different from time-travel in the traditional sense."

"Just like "The Tuner" is a suspense movie, it twists and turns again and again, which is very different from many existing suspense movies."

"And this is obviously Wang Shu's personal characteristic and what makes him great."

"Other directors are even the successful Zhang Yimou, or Feng Xiaogang, who claims to be the number one commercial film director in China."

"Commercial movies made up to now are still repackaging old wine in new bottles around the historical background."

"Nothing compared to Wang Shu."

"No matter how well Wang Shu's movies fare at the box office, they are at least novel and eye-catching."

As the progress of the film "Space Traveler" progressed, not only Jiang Wenli's eyes were brightened, but also Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun, Chen Hao, Yan Danchen and others, as well as many moviegoers at the scene.

Like Jiang Wenli, most of the time-travel movies in their minds are like Zhou Xingxing's trip back to the past in the opening scene of "The Gambler 2", and then the whole story of the movie unfolds against the background of the past era.

"Space Traveler" is different, it is not such a movie.

Moreover, as the plot of the movie gradually got better, many people suddenly realized...
  When I first watched this movie, I thought it was a comedy, then it seemed like a romance film, and by the end it felt like a philosophical film.
