Chapter 431: The premiere begins(1/2)
[Script is the source of a movie. Without a script, no matter how large or professional the film production team is, it will lose its direction.]
[Writing a script is a hard job. For any writer, the most basic thing is to endure the boredom of writing only one word at a time. You can’t think about finishing the script at once, and writing two or three pages a day is almost done. If you stick to it, you will have hundreds of pages.]
[If you want to be a director, you have to write a script first to understand the structure and essence of the movie. Then constantly seek advice from others and follow your inner voice to polish it. If you don’t even have the patience to write a script, then what else can you be a director?]
[A movie can come from a meaningless little detail, such as a feeling of a color, a recollection of a look, and a tangled nostalgia for a melody that hovers in your ears all day long.]
[The reason I want to write a story like "Traveler Love in Time and Space" was initially just a question that arose when I chatted with my friends: How to confirm whether I really like someone?]
[The final assumption we made is: if our life can be repeated with memories, we can avoid many traps in life and avoid many detours, but the price of taking shortcuts is to miss that person. At this time, if we are still willing to meet that person at the same time and in the same place, then I think this is really my favorite.]
[Want to know my choice? Go to the movie, I put my choice in the movie.]
【…】
In the first episode of the "Director's Notes" series, Han Jue talked about his understanding of movies and scripts from the perspective of a veteran film and television practitioner.
In the video, Han Jue is always busy writing things.
On the plane, at the dining table, in front of the desk, and even before he went on stage to sing, he suddenly thought of a wonderful line. He immediately took out the paper and wrote it down. After writing it, he looked at the paper with a smile and went on stage to sing. In the next scene, Han Jue came back after singing, picked up the piece of paper that had written the lines before, frowned and became more disgusted, "What's the matter!" He kneaded it into a ball, threw it away, and began to think of new lines with his lips.
Xiao Zhou, who holds the camera, sometimes asks some problems that he will encounter during the process of writing scripts during Han Jue's writing. After the script is finished, there are some things that need attention.
Han Jue briefly talked about how he solved it, and it seemed that he was very experienced.
Nowadays, most people have recognized Han Jue's talent in music and have made up for how Han Jue learned his pains and calmed down to study music production during the five years he was silent and hiding. But no one expected that in those five years, Han Jue seemed to have learned to write scripts and make movies.
I won’t talk about the movies I’ve made yet, but that posture is quite professional.
This made people who mocked Han Jue for making movies a few months ago feel a slight face pain.
"It's too fake!" So some people suspected Han Jue and said that the video was a show, and the dialogues in the video were memorized well, "This is a characterization!"
History is always surprisingly similar. When Han Jue wrote his musical masterpiece, there were also waves of doubts.
But now Han Jue has fans and fans. He smiled and advised the people who black Han Jue to not speak too much, but to know that the Internet has memories.
As expected, hesitated. I haven't seen the final movie now. All the belittlements are in the sky loft and I can't stand it. So they decided to wait until the premiere is over and it's not too late to get rid of the first batch of reputations.
People on both sides are very confident.
As the Chinese Valentine's Day is approaching, more and more people are focusing on the [Zhumen Film Festival].
...
...
For the native Chinese, the scenery of Chang'an is unique under the historical bonus, but the strong Chinese atmosphere is nothing strange. However, everything here is really strange to Han Jue.
Their group got off the plane and took the bus to the hotel where they were staying. Han Jue looked at the scenery outside the window and was dazzled.
Han Jue came with a team of producers such as Xia Yuan, Pei Qing and Song Yin. Tomorrow will be the premiere of the movie, and they will gather in the Magic City at noon.
Han Jue's record in the United States reached the final stage and he really couldn't leave. Otherwise, Han Jue would have wanted to arrive in Chang'an early with Jalens, and then watch movies, eat, and visit the ancient city all day long.
There were no outsiders on the bus, and everyone was talking about the content of "Love Travelers in Time and Space", and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm.
Only Xia Yuan, Jalens, Pei Qing and Han Jue have watched the final version of the film. Although others have also read the script and learned about the plot, they have forgotten about it so far. They deliberately did not watch it during the internal trial, and they left it to watch it with the audience when the [Bruce Film Festival] premiered.
Pei Qing turned around from the front row and asked Han Jue: "What should I do on Valentine's Day?"
Pei Qing’s words sounded very ambiguous, which made the other people laugh.
Han Jue looked out the window and said without looking back: "There is my studio partner here."
Pei Qing smiled and said, "I'm asking you how you plan to spend the Chinese Valentine's Day."
Han Jue rolled his eyes: "I'm not a single girl, why would I have a Chinese Valentine's Day?"
Valentine's Day in China is the Shangyuan Festival, the Shangyuan Festival where "the crowd searched for him for thousands of times, but when I looked back, the person was in the dim lights." However, to this day, consumerism has the ability to redefine all festivals. Its ultimate goal is only one - consumption, so that all modern festivals can serve shopping.
The Chinese Valentine's Day has been a festival for single girls since ancient times, and it is a serious "Girls' Day". However, because it has a legend about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it has a bit of romantic color, so under the marketing of merchants, the Chinese Valentine's Day gradually changed to Valentine's Day - after all, the consumption capacity between couples is stronger.
Han Jue didn't like to celebrate various festivals in his previous life, and he didn't like to spend money during festivals. Because every festival, there were crowds of people on the streets when they went out, and there were long queues for eating, and the seats for watching movies were very edges. He could not experience the fun of the festival at all.
In his opinion, the biggest function of the festival is to give some cowards a reason to talk or meet someone they don’t dare to look for.
"The Chinese Valentine's Day is a bit different now," Xia Yuan, who was sitting next to Han Jue, turned his head and asked Han Jue, "Our movie has become the thugs of traditional consumerist alienation festivals. Aren't you angry?"
"Movies have commodity attributes, and marketing products is a means that they should be used, so what's the point of being angry about?" Han Jue seemed indifferent: "Besides, I'll only be responsible for the creation of the movie. The subsequent processing of the works is the work of you producers, and they will not interfere with each other."
When Han Jue was creating, Xia Yuan had never interfered with him. Now that the movie has been filmed and edited, it has been really left to Xia Yuan for processing. Moreover, he would not have any concerns when he handed the movie to Xia Yuan for processing.
Xia Yuan asked: "Do you give your friend the ticket?"
"Give it," Han Jue nodded, "Come all."
"It would be at least a little starry during the premiere."
"Where are the critics?"
"I found some, and some others came uninvited." Xia Yuan said.
Originally, the premiere of the movie was to be called to watch some film critics. The critics are the weather vane for viewers. A good film review can sometimes save a movie. Xia Yuan and the others did not know, and even if they paid, they would have to invite some less strict film critics to watch the movie. But before Xia Yuan could use up this part of the budget, some film critics of all sizes posted photos on Weite, saying that they had bought tickets for "Traveler Love in Time and Space". Among them, there were some film critics with harsh eyes and toxic moustaches.
Xia Yuan knew that someone had spent money to deal with them.
"Who?" Pei Qing asked.
Xia Yuan reported several names.
Pei Qing knew that one or two of them were for people who wrote film reviews in well-known newspapers. Some people often described them as "specially difficult", and I don't know why they were told this time.
However, Pei Qing was not very panicked: "Don't be afraid, good works come from talking about themselves, and it's useless for them to lead the rhythm."
"Hey, the visitor is a guest, let's be more hospitable." Han Jue waved his hand.
After all, the movie has been finished, and everything that can be understood or misunderstood is there. As a creator, Han Jue has been used to it in his previous life in the face of thousands of people's various picky voices. Some criticisms can indeed point out the shortcomings. Don't take yourself too seriously and put it right.
"Tsk tsk, hypocrisy," Pei Qing shook his head, "Sure enough, people in your entertainment industry are the best at making friends."
Song Yin beside him snorted and said that he was true.
Xia Yuan asked: "Where are the good friends who went to Qiong Province with you?"
As soon as this question arises, everyone in the whole vehicle is [oh~] and they all know who that good friend is referring to.
"She said she will be here tomorrow." Han Jue also laughed when he said this.
Last week, Zhang Yiman watched the trailer for "Time and Space Love Traveler" and heard that "Time and Space Love Traveler" was scheduled to be released on the Chinese Valentine's Day, so he wisely guessed that this movie was a romance film. This movie is probably the anniversary gift that Han Jue said, and it is also the content of Gu Fan's desire to speak but stopping on the phone.
After Zhang Yiman guessed, he tried his best to hide his surprise. Whenever Han Jue wanted to talk about the movie, she would forcibly change the topic "understand" and forcefully change the topic. Han Jue was willing to cooperate with her and only told her that she would remember to come on the day of the premiere, and that there was something good. Zhang Yiman on the other end of the phone held back and responded.
After Han Jue and his group arrived, the hotel and Jalens met, and it was almost evening.
Jarens ran over excitedly and invited everyone to listen to his award speech. It can be seen that after staying in [The Red Gate] for a few days, Jarens drew his sword and looked around at the slightest confusion, and was already quite inflated.
Since there is a serious business tomorrow, everyone is very restrained in this dinner.
The next day, Han Jue got up early as usual, exercised for a while in the hotel gym, and then had breakfast in the restaurant with his friends who appeared one after another.
The dining table during the meal was very lively, and everyone was as excited as the primary school students before the spring outing.
The premiere was 9:30 am.
At 7:30, the group set off in a mighty manner.
The main creator rides one car, and the producer rides one car.
...
...
Starting from 7 a.m., the security guards at Cinema No. 7 were already in place early, and there were a large number of viewers waiting to enter the venue outside the door.
Many people have been looking forward to the premiere of "The Traveler in Time and Space" for a long time. It is the number one traffic of this year. The [The People of Zhu] also paid the greatest attention to it, put on the red carpet, and sent a special host.
By 8:40, vehicles carrying the crew of "Time and Space Love Traveler" arrived at the entrance of the theater one after another, attracting cheers from the audience.
"Now Han Jue and the others are here!" Xiao Chi grabbed a good seat early and pointed the camera at the door of the car. Qianqian and Xiao Xia focused on calling Han Jue's name from the side.
Han Jue was the first to come out, which caused a lot of turmoil at the beginning, and the reporter kept pressing the shutter of the camera.
There were Asians, Europeans and Americans among the audience. When Han Jue came out, Chinese and English with various accents were mixed together to welcome him.
Han Jue discovered Xiaochi and the others, went up to say hello, signed the signature version, and went in first.
Then Jack and the others appeared one by one. When Jack and other foreigners appeared, all the foreigners in the venue shouted their names together:
"Jack! Jack! Jack!"
"Jennifer! Jennifer! Jennifer!"
Jack and the others waved hard to their compatriots and fellow villagers, almost burst into tears.
Later, every creator, whether Chinese or American, whether famous or unknown, was good-looking or not, got a lot of applause and shouts when he came out.
After the main creators finished, they were all the stars who came to support them.
There are Gu Fan, Zhang Zishang, Xiao Fan, and some celebrity friends invited by Xia Yuan and Song Yin.
Everyone signed the autographs and took photos, and then entered the cinema.
The theaters were then opened and the audience appeared with their votes.
