Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 305 Damn Zhen Jiecheng, he’s going to brag again!

The chilly wind in the capital could not cool down the excitement at the scene.

Zhen Jiecheng is not sure whether these highly professional fans are hired by the management team, but whenever a star appears on the red carpet, there is always a certain area where heart-wrenching shouts can be heard.

Open your eyes: they are cheering for their idols.

Close your eyes: Where is the suona? Where is the trumpet? The howling is good, but it is not professional without "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"!
Since when, domestic entertainment has gradually begun to take on the appearance in Zhen Jiecheng's memory.

When you go out, you have to give yourself face. You must have 10 or 8 security guards to stop you, protect you, and surround you.

She was wearing a low-cut V-neck, but she tucked it in to cover it.

Afraid that people won’t see;
Afraid that people might see it.

As for occasions like the red carpet, it feels a bit like a leader appearing on TV news.

If you appear at important occasions, you won't attract attention. But if you don't show your face, there's something wrong.

There is no doubt that the red carpet premiere of "Interstellar" is one of the "important occasions" in the domestic entertainment industry.

When Zhen Jiecheng learned from Sister Hua that the invitation letter had become a resource to prove one's "status" and attracted many large and small brokerage teams to compete for it, he found it quite ridiculous.

"This guy is riding a horse!"

"I have so many connections with directors, reselling premiere invitations will be a way to make a fortune!"

"Director Zhen, you entered the industry late. Some people have already done this." Wang Jinghua said with a smile, "But they don't have as much energy as you, so even if you enter the industry late, you can still catch up."

"Well, when I stop making movies, I'll join the industry. I have no shame anyway."

As we were chatting, a familiar voice came to my ears.

"Jie Cheng!"

Looking up, I saw Chen Long walking towards me quickly with a smile on his face.

"You are Guo Fan, right?"

"It stands to reason that as the elder, I should show some appreciation when we meet for the first time."

"How about this, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow. Also, in addition to giving me part of the investment for "The Adventures of Li Xianji", Zu Ming's salary will also be waived!"

Chen Long's politeness was so enthusiastic that Guo Fan was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Even if he tried to decline, he couldn't resist Chen Long's generosity.

"Brother Long, are you so optimistic?" Zhen Jiecheng said with a smile.

"Of course, a good teacher produces good students!" Chen Long blurted out without thinking.

"But what if I say: The Adventures of Li Xianji may not make money?" Zhen Jiecheng raised his eyebrows. "You know, he is a complete newcomer, and this is his first time to take on a leading role."

"I looked at his proposal, and it's obviously experimental. It will win the favor of a small group of people, but it won't be very popular in the mainstream market."

"It's okay!" Chen Long smiled and waved his hands, "Don't you have a teacher like him to help steer the ship?"

"No, Brother Long, I'm not going to help him." Zhen Jiecheng shook his head. "No matter what the result is, he has to figure out the whole process by himself. I won't interfere with the filming ideas, the crew, or even the investment and casting!"

"He asked me to help him contact Mr. You Benchang to make a cameo appearance a few days ago, but I turned him down."

"If you want to find the old man, go and invite him yourself. Bring the script with you! Invite him with your ability and sincerity, not under my name."

"His starting point is already better than most new directors. If he still can't make it, he might as well stop making movies and start reselling invitations to premiere red carpets!"

In his previous life, Guo Fan was lucky enough to get the director position of "The Adventures of Li Xianji" as a newcomer.

But unfortunately, the investors did not fully trust the young man.

In the middle of the filming, a professional team was contacted and joined the crew as the "emperor emeritus".

Coincidentally, the leader of this professional team is Bao Dexi.

But even so, Guo Fan's "traces" can still be clearly seen in "The Adventures of Li Xianji".

A jumping narrative style.

A variety of unsystematic but eye-opening attempts.

Summary: Think a lot, play around a lot, and fuck the box office.

Those who like it can’t put it down, but they are only a very small minority.

More: Fuck you, give your money back!
After spitting, he didn't forget to complain: he~tui, what a bad movie, it's a waste of Mr. You Benchang's cameo! Just one look is ten thousand times better than the whole movie!
However, unlike Feng Xiaogang, who complained that "the audience has no aesthetic taste" and "rubbish audiences make rubbish movies" when his film failed to sell, Guo Fan wrote a 30,000-word summary afterwards, reminding himself to focus on the balance between audience needs and artistic pursuits in his future works, rather than just focusing on self-expression.

There is no doubt that Guo Fan's approach is correct.

But is Feng Xiaogang wrong?
The audience who criticized Feng Kuazi at that time were stunned many years later: Damn, the prediction was so accurate!

"Reselling the premiere red carpet invitation?" Chen Long couldn't resist Zhen Jiecheng's outrageous words and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hahaha, not at all!"

"As for investing in "The Adventures of Li Xianji", investment is a risky project. How can there be a guaranteed profit without loss?"

"If I make money, I'm happy. If I lose money, I accept it."

"Once the words are spoken, they are spilled. What is said is what is spilled."

As Chen Long spoke, he patted Guo Fan on the shoulder.

"You are the director, you have the final say on the crew!"

"It doesn't matter if I lose money in the end. Growth always requires tuition fees. It's normal!"

"If your project needs investment in the future, keep calling me!"

56-year-old Chen Long has already experienced and mastered the human relationships and is very amiable.

But Guo Fan, who has just entered his thirties, is no fool. He knows clearly why he has received such attention and preferential treatment.

He did not reject Chen Long's offer, but nodded.
"Okay, big brother! Thank you, big brother!"

If you lose money, you can make it back later.

As for whether there will be a lack of investment in the future, there is no shortage now!

If Chen Long hadn't intervened in advance, Xingguang Canlan would have eaten it all up long ago.

Guo Fan glanced at Jing Tian.

It’s great to have a great junior sister!

After a brief chat, Chen Long said goodbye and was the first to walk onto the red carpet.

With him was the Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li. The two superstars appeared together and the audience immediately cheered.

At the same time, the figure following behind Jet Li was also captured by the camera along with the two superstars.

"Brother Jie specifically asked to bring Wen Zhang along." Sister Hua explained, "When filming Ocean Paradise, Wen Zhang and Brother Jie played a father and son. Later, Wen Zhang also called Brother Jie "Dad" in real life, and Brother Jie didn't object, so they became godparents."

“Senior, the official casting for Love Is Not Blind hasn’t started yet, but Wen Zhang has already been recommended to me,” Jing Tian added.

"Oh? What do you think?"

"What else can I think? Of course I accept it!" Jing Tian became excited when talking about his new project. "I checked his previous dramas and auditioned him individually. He is indeed a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama. His acting skills are really good!"

"I was even a little worried whether Mimi could handle acting opposite him."

A little worried? Is that okay?
Zhen Jiecheng rolled his eyes. Although Yang Mi's acting skills in this life were much better than those in the previous life, how could she be compared with Wen Zhang?
It's too shameful to write such a piece of news!
Although Wen Zhang has many problems, in terms of professional ability, he has never brought shame to the reputation of the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama.

Including his alma mater, Shanghai Theatre Academy, Nanjing University of the Arts, Beijing Dance Academy, Communication University of China, let alone Beijing Film Academy. Among the academicians of his generation, Wen Zhang is absolutely outstanding. Even if he is compared with the Mesozoic generation, he is still on the list.

What a pity, he is not manly enough. If he can be tougher in the future and give Yao Di a result, Zhen Jiecheng will still look up to him.

Being a coward and playing coward, you will end up with nothing.

The woman surnamed Ma was so cruel that she divorced Yao Di at the same time as she was getting married, and then continued to focus on her own career.

What about Wen Zhang? His image plummeted, and he finally relied on the stage of drama to continue his acting career.

Looking at the high-spirited figure following behind Jet Li, Zhen Jiecheng sighed.

There is nothing much to say: Stand at attention when you get beaten, you deserve it!
"By the way, senior, if Mimi plays the female lead, what should we do with that line?"

"What lines?" Zhen Jiecheng asked puzzledly.

"It's just that friendship is worth a thousand gold, but it can't beat four ounces of that."

"Isn't this easy? You can persuade Mimi to devote herself to art. Then contact the hospital and help her shrink her size!" Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand, "Okay, stop talking! It's time for our creative team to take the stage!"

The long red carpet ceremony has finally come to an end, but there is still a long way to go before the film’s official debut.

Interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and fun moments on the set.

Of course, there are also "how difficult the filming was", "how difficult it was", etc., which have been listed as standard statements for students' self-introductions by "The Voice of China".

Zhen Jiecheng didn't want to do it, but there was no way, Zuoshandiao had given the order.

Although it is a co-production, the director and the team behind it are all Chinese. In addition, the subject matter is the most scarce science fiction blockbuster in the Chinese film market, which is enough to attract a number of relevant leaders.

In such an occasion, how can it not be "difficult" to reflect the firm will and hard work of Chinese filmmakers under the guidance of China Film Group in opening up market gaps?

The more difficult it is, the more glorious it is! The harder it is to come by, the more remarkable the achievement!
Finally, the process came to an end, and Zhen Jiecheng quickly picked up the microphone:
"Enough of the nonsense, please watch the big screen!"

As the screen lit up, everyone in the newly decorated IMAX theater immediately perked up and held their breath.

"The story begins with the narration of an old woman."

The film critic's fixed gaze does not prevent him from writing on paper.

“Make a strong first impression! Use different techniques and camera movements to continuously transition.”

"Wow, the director's skills are really great. Not only did he avoid the aesthetic fatigue caused by repetition, but he also set the mood! At the same time, he also introduced the identity of the protagonist and laid the groundwork."

For Yan Jiecheng's films, critics at premieres are always tired.

The language of the camera needs to be savored, the story needs to be organized, and the details need to be paid attention to.

From beginning to end, I didn't dare to relax at all.

"This scene has the same 'Zhen Ta Ma' vibe as always!"

Endless cornfields are squeezed to the edge of the skyline.

It is obviously a commercial science fiction film, but what catches the eye is the camera language at the level of top art films.

“Another work with a relatively complicated timeline! But for Zhen Jiecheng, who is good at using montage, he is already very familiar with it.”

Film critics quickly record key points that may serve as foreshadowing, waiting to be turned up and echoed in subsequent plots.

"The background is explained very clearly, and all kinds of suspense are created in the study."

“The light for my daughter Murphy was warm but not distorted. The shooting was mainly straight shots, without forward and reverse shots. And the camera movement was very steady from beginning to end. No, it was slow and steady!”

“These three are like a fixed formula?”

"Zhen Jiecheng would definitely not do this for no reason. This must be a foreshadowing, and there will definitely be a comparison later!"

The film critic frowned and subconsciously focused his attention on thinking.

However, the sound source balanced speaker system of the IMAX cinema did not give him a chance to calm down. The large screen coated with high-performance metal coating impacted his pupils, making people feel as if they were in the real movie world!

The long shot that Zhen Jiecheng spent a lot of time and energy designing now shows its true charm.

"The protagonist rolls and falls. The sunlight and the reflected light from the earth follow the protagonist's movements, changing the position of the reflection on the space suit helmet lens at any time."

"how did you do that?"

“And the weightlessness, this was obviously not filmed in water!”

"Zhen Jiecheng has innovated his technique?"

The piled-up details bring more and more question marks to professional film critics, but in the eyes of ordinary audiences, they only subtly render the sense of reality. With IMAX equipment, it creates an immersive experience.

All the preparations reached their climax when the "panoramic effect" was born.

The deep darkness seems to be able to swallow everything.

The earth, suspended in the silent void, seems so small and fragile.

An inexplicable feeling of loneliness arose, followed by awe.

Everyone's heart was instantly tightened, as if they were drowning and suffocating, and they couldn't breathe.

The trivialities of family life no longer matter, and the noisy disputes in busy work also become quiet.

"I am just a tiny grain of sand floating in the vast ocean. I sigh at the brevity of my life and fear the infinity of the universe!"

The film critic subconsciously adapted Su Dongpo's famous quote, and he certainly knew that his changes were just a show of force. But before In the Name of Man appeared, and before the image of Sun Liancheng, the chief of the universe, "looking up at the stars" became a household name, there was no better way to express the mood than this.

“The special effects are amazing!”

"But the one who is even more awesome is the damn Zhen Jiecheng!"

"This long shot is really well-made."

"Montage is just Zhen Jiecheng's superficial style. Details are the real face of this guy! Use details to lay the groundwork, render emotions bit by bit, create immersion step by step, and finally make a breakthrough with accumulation!"

"It's a rare highlight in the works of ordinary directors, but it's just a tool at his disposal."

The classic soundtrack of the original "Interstellar" lingered in everyone's ears.

Simple pairing: organ and piano.

It starts with a slow melody and then speeds up.

Some people heard mysterious, gorgeous, and ethereal sounds, and then they stopped abruptly.

Some people felt a chaotic mixture of powerlessness, tragedy, unwillingness, etc.

At this moment, with space as the background, it feels lonely, empty, and small, which makes people's hair stand on end.

Many film critics spontaneously put down their pens and papers and chose to immerse themselves in watching the film as an audience.

"Based on this segment alone, the box office will be a huge success!"

"Damn it, Zhen Jiecheng is going to brag again!"

"Wait, why did I say 'again'?"
