Chapter 448 The hair-raising creativity

A few days before the opening of the China Overseas Film Festival, the sales of movie tickets at those venues can only be said to be quite average.

However, when the film festival began to pre-sell the tickets for the advance screening of "The Truman Show", it just went online, and it was sold out in just a few seconds!

Moreover, movie fans who did not get tickets have been begging for tickets at high prices on the Internet.

Even if "The Truman Show" was screened in advance, it chose a large theater that could seat more than a thousand people, but because this is a film festival, there are fans from all over the country, and even all over the world. In addition, this movie can be said to be the most watched movie this summer.

Therefore, that little ticket is naturally not enough to get between the teeth.

As a result, a movie ticket that was ordered ahead of schedule was fired to thousands of yuan on the Internet!
But more movie fans have petitioned for a few more shows.

The Organizing Committee of the China Overseas Film Festival also approached Li Yi and the others to communicate and hope to add a few more shows.

In the end, three additional games were opened, but they were still sold out in seconds.

It is impossible to continue adding more, after all, it is not yet time for the real movie to be released.

And with the current popularity, it can be said that it is useless to play more games.

However, some media interviewed many tourists who came to the China Overseas Film Festival all the way, and several of them claimed that they came for "The Truman Show".

It can be seen that the popularity of this movie is so high that it is scary!
Of course, another aspect is that although "The Truman Show" is very popular, the specific content of the movie has not been strictly covered up to now.

On the contrary, this intensifies the curiosity of movie fans.

The media also reported the event one after another.

""The Truman Show" was frantically sought after by movie fans in advance screening, and the tickets were sold out in seconds, and the popularity of the three additional shows is still unabated!"

"The Truman Show will be screened in advance at the China Overseas International Film Festival on June [-], and all tickets have been sold out!"

"Film fans have traveled thousands of miles just to see it in advance, and "The Truman Show" has become the most popular film at the China Overseas International Film Festival!"

And this also made more fans who couldn't go to the China Overseas Film Festival or didn't buy tickets quite depressed.

It's really that this movie has kept everyone's appetite for too long.

Ever since the astronomically priced ads were placed, the popularity of "The Truman Show" has never stopped. Every once in a while, some hot topics will appear.

Soon the time came to June [-]th.

The cinema where "The Truman Show" is screened in advance is Dragon Palace International Cinema, one of the designated cinemas of the China Overseas International Film Festival.

The screening hall of "The Truman Show" is the largest theater in Dragon Palace International Cinemas, a super theater that can accommodate more than [-] people.

In fact, for tonight's advance screening, half of the audience present are the media, film critics, as well as filmmakers and celebrities from home and abroad.

And Chen Wen also brought a special guest.

The artistic director responsible for the selection of the Cannes Film Festival, the famous French filmmaker, Albert Frey.

Chen Wen is the best actor in Cannes, and he won the first best actor laurel of the three major European film festivals in Cannes, so, to a certain extent, he can be regarded as a direct descendant of Cannes.

He and Albert Frey were old friends.

Although Albert Frey was only the artistic director in charge of film selection, he was an assistant to the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, Jill Grant.

The main purpose of Albert Frey's coming to the China Overseas Film Festival this time was to target Li Yilai.

Of course, it is also because Chen Wen highly recommends Li Yi's new film "The Truman Show".

Although Li Yi can be said to be a real famous director in the commercial film circle, he is indeed a little bit less interesting in the literary film circle.

After all, almost all the awards he won were domestic awards.

As for the film awards in Huaguo, the influence is basically limited to the country. As for the Oscar, he won the award for short animated films. This is something that domestic animation fans will pay attention to, and others will not pay attention at all.

Albert Frey actually didn't attach much importance to "The Truman Show", because commercial films are always commercial films.

Li Yi's past works are almost all commercially oriented.

It can be said that the intersection with the literary and artistic film circle is not deep!
Not only Albert Frey, in fact, there were quite a few celebrities from the international film circle present.

Some of them are purely for watching the excitement, after all, "The Truman Show" is really too popular.

It's so popular that you can often hear it mentioned at film festivals.

At the same time, Du Xianghai and Fang Long, two old fellows in the film critic circle, also appeared here together.

"It is rumored that "The Truman Show" is actually a literary film, but who has seen such a big battle in a literary film?" Fang Long couldn't help complaining as he looked at the crowded theater.

"Hehe, literary films and commercial films are relative terms. Ever since the movie has placed more than 4 million advertisements, this movie has no hook with literary films!" Du Xianghai said with a smile.

"Well, to put it bluntly, the question is not whether it is a literary film or not, but that the director is Li Yi! This guy can always do something." Fang Long sighed authentically.

"What I'm curious about now is, will this movie be his usual style again?" Du Xianghai said with a sudden smile.

"Anyway, I've developed a habit. Have you brought it? If not, I can give you a pack." Fang Long took out two packs of tissues and said with a smile.

As they said, "The Truman Show" is a literary movie, but this movie is no longer an ordinary literary movie.

Who has ever seen a movie ticket for a literary movie, it is hard to get a ticket?

Who has ever seen a literary movie attract countless eyes before it starts shooting?
Who has ever seen a literary movie scalper who can increase the ticket price by ten times?

Who has ever seen literary and artistic film advertisements implanted with hundreds of millions?

No matter how f*cking this is, it's a literary movie, it's probably going to get sprayed in the face!
But only people like Li Yi who know the complete plot of the movie know that this movie is really a literary film!

Of course, it doesn't really matter whether it is literary or not.

The lights on the scene dimmed.

"The Truman Show" officially started screening.

The first to appear on the big screen is still the familiar "director Li Yi's works"!
For many fans of Li Yi who got up early, these six words have already become a kind of label.

It seems that as long as these six words appear, then this movie will definitely not disappoint you.

After the subtitles on the big screen, the pictures began to appear.

The producer played by Chen Wen, wearing glasses, is talking to the camera: "We are tired of the affectation of the actors, and we are also tired of the blasting scenes and computer special effects. The door lives in a fictional world, but he himself is not fake at all, there is no script, no cue card, although this may not be the masterpiece of a famous teacher, but it is true, this is a memoir of life..."

This is obviously only the first scene of the opening, or even the first line.

But there was a commotion in the theater.

Du Xianghai felt like his scalp was tingling, and Albert Frey felt like his skin was getting goosebumps!

Both Liu Fei and Chen Jingning's eyes widened!looked at each other.

In fact, thinking of the name of this movie, the high-priced placement advertisement before, combined with the description of the character played by Chen Wen in the opening part, they can already vaguely guess something.

But if it is what they think, then this idea is too terrifying, it is simply a god-level brain hole that makes hair stand on end!
