Chapter 321 "Big Earthquake"

How to evaluate director Feng Xiaogang?
Cheng Yu'an admired him very much, sincerely.

Apart from his shabby looks, Director Feng is simply an entertainer.

Start step by step from a follower, and become the leading director in China.

He has the same temperament as Guo Degang, because of the difficult environment in the early years, after becoming famous, both of them are jealous of each other.

Cheng Yu'an understood Feng Xiaogang very well. If he didn't pay every penny, he wouldn't be able to support such a big stall.

After being successful in business, he is eager to prove himself in art. It is actually normal to have this kind of thinking. It is also because of the environment in which he grew up when he was young. He always wanted to be recognized by the literary and art circles, but he was limited by his personal vision and ability. , It was very difficult to walk in art.

"Party A and Party B" doesn't count, it's the leftovers from Mijiashan's "Stubborn Lord". Cheng Yu'an asked himself, he couldn't make films like "See You or Be Square" and "Big Wrist".

Feng Xiaogang's banter and sarcasm in his early years were really good.

Someone said of him: "Director Feng's plays are very vulgar (commendative), and he has achieved top-notch on the road of vulgarity."

This is already pretty good.

Going back to "Tangshan Earthquake", Feng Xiaogang took over the project in 07, and Cheng Yu'an was also the director of the hard work, which can be imagined.

No matter whether he is for fame or for profit, it is worthy of recognition to be able to make a movie with such a theme, and the following "[-]" is also for the same reason.

But some people say that he is in trouble for the country.

This evaluation is a bit unreasonable.

This is why Cheng Yu'an agreed to attend the world premiere of "Tangshan Earthquake".

When Cheng Yuan came back from London, he rushed to Tangshan before the time difference.

This should be Cheng Yu'an's first time participating in Feng Xiaogang's premiere.

Cheng Yu'an saw Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan in the background, and said, "Director Feng has worked hard."

One sentence touched the two couples, especially Feng Xiaogang. He held Cheng Yu'an's hand and said, "It's not hard work, it's all worth it. Just come back and sit down."

In private, Feng Xiaogang was actually quite amusing, and he greeted Cheng Yuan to take a seat: "Don't leave at night, have a drink or two."

"I'm afraid it won't work. I have to fly to Los Angeles after the premiere. "Inception" has too many things to do." Cheng Yu'an declined, "If I have time to return to the capital, I will invite Director Feng."

Cheng Yu'an came late, and there were already many people sitting in the backstage.

"Teacher Daoming." Cheng Yu'an greeted Chen Daoming,
"I'm back." Chen Daoming handed Cheng Yu'an a glass of water, and Cheng Yu'an took it, "How is "Inception"?"

"It premiered in London yesterday, and the audience shouldn't be too bad." Cheng Yu'an replied.

Then the guests in the backstage greeted Cheng Yu'an one by one, and Cheng Yu'an replied politely no matter who he knew or not.

"You must be Zhang Zifeng." Cheng Yu'an saw her, and the little girl was accompanied by her mother.

"Hello, brother." Zhang Zifeng didn't see Cheng Yu'an.

"Call me uncle." Mother Zhang said.

"Haha, it's okay." Cheng Yu'an rubbed Zhang Zifeng's head, "I saw the preview, and my sister's performance is very good, she is the material for this bowl of rice."

"Thank you, Director Cheng, for your compliment." Mama Zhang said with a smile.

Zhang Zifeng is very famous. She is the protagonist of the 2-minute trailer of "The Great Earthquake". She is the leading poster, and the little girl alone occupies three of them.

Before the premiere, the crew also went to the Great Earthquake Site Park to pay their respects.

Not long after, the front desk greeted the guests from the backstage to enter.

The host of the premiere was Jing Wei from the movie channel. At the pre-screening sharing meeting, the main creators talked about how difficult it was to make this film. Feng Xiaogang and his wife’s love for Zhang Zifeng was beyond words. Xu Fan said:
"People say that adults can't act with children. I have a deep understanding this time. When I was with her (Zhang Zifeng), I kept reminding myself that I must do subtraction. I kept asking myself to subtract to zero. Don't There are traces of acting, but it has to be restored to the most authentic state, she gave me a lot of experience..."

Director Feng said directly that Zhang Zifeng is a treasure given to him by God: "As directors, we are usually relatively calm, but there was a scene of ruins, she was alone in it, and we all watched her act, filming When it was over, everyone was crying, no one had to look at anyone else, everyone was crying."

The little girl was childish, saying that Director Feng was "very gentle" on the set.

But something went wrong at the premiere scene.

When the film was showing, there was a problem with the lighting at the scene, and one light could not be turned off in time. Feng Xiaogang went crazy, smashed all the things in the temporary tent, and cursed in the tent.

After three years of hard work and hard work until the premiere, Feng Xiaogang's emotions were suddenly out of control because the lighting affected the viewing effect.

Fortunately, Wang Zhonglei calmed him down in time: "Now there are more than 1 people watching the movie outside. If our emotions affect the audience, the loss outweighs the gain."

Fortunately, after coordination, the lights were still turned off.

It was also the first time for Cheng Yu'an to watch "Tangshan Earthquake" in this way, and the effect was very shocking, after all, the world's largest giant screen was used for the screening.

But the problem is not without it. The "Tangshan Earthquake" pre-roll advertisement lasted 15 minutes - 9 movie trailers and 8 commercials. The movie trailer was only 5 minutes and the commercial was 10 minutes.

Among them is the remote "A Little Thing of First Love".

Cheng Yuan tilted his head and said to Yao Jianguo, the producer sitting next to him, "There are too many."

Yao Jianguo smiled bitterly: "There is no way, the pressure to pay back is too great."

"Tangshan Earthquake" is a very good film. It uses a lot of space to describe the life of a family after the disaster, but there is not too much description of the disaster relief after the earthquake, which is handled very well.

In particular, Zhang Zifeng's performance was outstanding.

Aura is compelling!

But the shortcomings are also obvious. The timeline is too long, from 76 to 08, spanning 30 years.

Using Wenchuan and Tangshan to echo, but not well enough.

But the flaws do not conceal the advantages, Cheng Yuan likes it very much.

After the film was shown, the entire stadium of [-] people burst into warm applause.

After the screening, Feng Xiaogang jokingly asked the audience: "This movie is an assignment given to me by the people of Tangshan. Today I am here to hand in the assignment. I just want to ask everyone, did I pass the assignment today? (Tangshan accent)"

The audience replied loudly: "Medium!"

At the end of the premiere event, Feng Xiaogang also led all the main creators to drink three glasses of wine with everyone, and spilled the first glass of wine on the stage, dedicated to the 24 compatriots who died in the Tangshan earthquake, may they rest in peace.

What is even more amazing is that the stadium was always breezy during the film screening, and the audience enjoyed the film quietly in a comfortable environment.And just after the event ended, when all the audience left the premiere scene, there was a sudden gust of wind and heavy rain, crying like complaints. Many people thought it was the tears of the 24 compatriots who died in the Tangshan earthquake, gathered tonight.

And Feng Xiaogang interpreted it as "God opened his eyes, not only made the film screening smooth, but also mourned for the dead."

When the movie ended, Cheng Yu'an hugged Zhang Zifeng affectionately, and he loved talent: "The acting is really good. How about acting with uncle in the future?"

Zhang Zifeng didn't realize it for a moment, and only agreed in a charming and lively manner: "Okay!"
