I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 285
"Girl, I want to ask, is the premiere of "Inception" held here? Is it the one directed by Qin Muchu?"

At the theater ticket office, a middle-aged man asked the conductor, and there was a middle-aged woman standing beside him.

She put her arms around the man's arm, lowered her head, looking very depressed and tired.

"Yes, right here."

The conductor responded politely.

"Is the director of the movie also in it, just Xiao... just the director Qin Muchu."

"Yes, the director and film actors are all inside."

The man smiled when he heard that, patted the woman's arm, then took out his wallet, and said to the conductor:
"Please give us two tickets, thank you."

"Well, sir, I'm sorry, the tickets for the premiere were sold out very early, and there are no more tickets now."

The female conductor smiled professionally and apologetically.

If she could buy tickets for the premiere, she would have bought them a long time ago. How many celebrities just went in, their eyes are straight.

"No tickets?"

The middle-aged woman who had been silent all this time spoke.

He raised his head, revealing a pale and haggard face, as if he hadn't had a good rest for many days.

"Yes, there are indeed no tickets. Tickets for the premiere will go on sale in March." The conductor explained patiently.

The middle-aged woman was anxious, holding the man's hand, her voice trembling:
"What should I do, Lao Zhang, there are no tickets."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll think of a way, don't worry, don't worry."

The man quickly comforted him.

Looking at the conductor, he begged:
"Girl, can you accommodate me? We came all the way from Huizhou just to watch this movie. In this way, we don't need a seat, we just stand behind, please help..."

As he said that, the man took out a few red banknotes from his wallet, paused, took out all the banknotes in the wallet, folded them into a small ball, and stuffed them to the conductor.

"Uncle, what are you doing? There are surveillance... No, uncle, I really can't help you with this!"

The conductor hurriedly pushed the money back, and looked at the roll of banknotes reluctantly, probably more than half a month's salary of hers.

Then facing the man, he said helplessly:
"Uncle, you can see that I am not a person who can stand the test, if I can help, I will definitely help.

But I really can't do anything about it, even if I let you pass here, there are still people guarding the door, and they need to check the ticket.If there is no ticket, the theater staff will not let you in. "

Speaking of the last sentence, the conductor's tone was extremely helpless.

The man knew from the conductor's expression that she was not lying.

"What should I do?"

The middle-aged woman walked aside in a hurry, leaning against the wall and panting continuously.

The man immediately followed and patted the woman on the back,
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll think of a way."

"Old Zhang, old man..."

The woman looked at the man, her voice choked up.

"I know I know."

The man nodded repeatedly.

The conductor looked at the two of them strangely.

As for?
Isn't it just not seen as a premiere?

Middle-aged people also chase stars?

If my parents were so advanced and trendy, they wouldn't scold me every day.

"Uncle, Auntie, the movie will be released on April [-]st the day after tomorrow. If you don't see this one, you can watch it later." She kindly reminded her.

"Girl, will the director of the show the day after tomorrow come too?" the middle-aged man asked with a glimmer of hope.

"Uh, this... probably not." The conductor shook his head.

The day after tomorrow, "Inception" will be released all over the world, and the director is also powerless.

The man had expected it a long time ago, but he was still disappointed when he heard it.

He walked back to the woman and whispered:

"Why don't you contact Xiao Qin and let him..."

"no!"

The woman flatly refused,

"If Xiao Qin asks us at that time, can we hide it? This child has been smart since he was a child, and he is more sensitive than others."

The man sighed,

"That's right... But there is no other way, this is all the old man's..."

"Uncle, aunt, if you really want to go in, maybe I can help."

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.

Instantly gave the two hope.

But when they looked up and saw that it was a child in their teens, their hopes were instantly shattered.

The woman lowered her head again, while the man forced a smile:
"Thank you, kid, no need."

Guo Qilin just sat on the sofa outside the theater and listened to the whole process of the two.

Qin Muchu asked him to come out to play video games, but instead of playing, he bought popcorn and grilled sausages and sat there to eat. While eating, he looked carefully at the pen Qin Muchu gave him, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"I can really bring you in. I'm not lying. My dad is the host. I talked to the director just now. It's the director Qin Muchu."

Seeing that the two adults didn't trust him, Guo Qilin said immediately.

In order to increase the credibility, he also brought out his father and Qin Muchu.

"However, before I can take you in, you have to prove that you are good people first."

The little fat man still kept his eyes open.

……

"We also watched the trailer just now, and it was full of shock. It reminded me of the saying of our ancestors, "Whoever wakes up from a big dream first", that is to say, you can't see everything in the dream..."

"I didn't lie to you, it's my dad who is talking now, and Qin Muchu and Director Qin are also sitting there."

Guo Qilin led the middle-aged couple into the venue through the back door and found a corner.

It's not far from the big screen, but it's a bit off, on the far side.

"Look, it's Xiao Qin, it's Xiao Qin."

The middle-aged woman pointed to the stage and said to the man.

"Yes, yes, the conductor said he was inside."

"Xiao Qin looks really good, he's an adult now..."

The woman looked at Qin Muchu, who was wearing a wine-red suit on the stage, who was calmly accepting the interview, her voice suddenly choked up again.

Guo Qilin was a little strange, did these two know Director Qin?
"thanks, thanks."

The men did not forget to bring their children in, and took out the roll of banknotes from their pockets that failed to bribe the conductor:

"Little friend, uncle..."

"I do not want!"

Guo Qilin immediately pushed back the banknote, turned his hands behind his back and took two steps back.

"If you are like this, I will help you in vain."

He has a serious expression, just like a little grown-up.

"Sit down, both of you, and I'll move two stools for you. You can sit here in a while. I still have tasks."

After finishing speaking, he quickly ran away with a "hum chi hum chi".

Guo Degang, who was hosting on the stage, caught sight of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye, his eyes fixed, and he continued to host as if nothing happened.

……

"What do you think about this?"

After Jiang Wen heard what Qin Muchu said about the third master, he didn't express his opinion in a hurry, but asked a question instead.

"What can you think? There are only two kinds, one is good and the other is bad." Qin Muchu whispered.

Jiang Wen smiled, and put his arm around Qin Muchu's shoulder:

"What is good and what is bad?"

"Be good to me, be bad to him; be bad to him, be bad to me."

"Which do you think it is?"

"I'm leaning toward the former."

Jiang Wen approached Qin Muchu's ear, and his rare voice became softer:

"That's right, the third master is protecting you, and he is afraid that you will lose money for this movie, you know?"

Qin Muchu also tended to think this way in his heart.

But still smiled wryly:
"Is my movie so unconfident?"

"Nonsense, 7 million US dollars, more than [-] million yuan, this is not publicized, how much did you spend?" Jiang Wen asked again.

"Inception" is promoted all over the world, and the draft is distributed all over the world. This is not a small fee.

"It's okay, it didn't cost much, and it was sponsored by an advertiser." Qin Muchu replied.

It is not uncommon to place advertisements in movies. You can often see some products or close-ups of a certain company in a movie, even if it is only for a second, it is an advertisement.

"Bullet" also has manufacturers who want to advertise. For the liquor factory, in the "Three Giants of Goose City" show, the manufacturer wants to put their liquor on the table.

A sky-high price was offered, but Jiang Wen still refused.

The appearance of modern wine in the dramas of the Republic of China is afraid that the audience will be out of the drama.

"Who?"

Jiang Wen asked curiously.

He wasn't worried that Qin Muchu would affect the quality of the film because of advertising.

Because Qin Muchu was the first to reject the liquor advertisement in "Bullet" at that time.

"QQ, there is a scene of communication in it. I use the QQ software, and the chat box is blurred, and there are two beeps." Qin Muchu said.

Jiang Wen nodded, then suddenly said:
"What is QQ?"

"...Right, don't you know how to play cards?"

"I see your skin is itchy..."

Qin Muchu and Jiang Wen didn't chat, when suddenly the big movie screen lit up, the dragon sign appeared, and the movie started.

The first thing to appear is not the picture, but the sound.

The sound of the waves, one tide after another.

The screen appears.

The waves washed over the reef, and there were bursts of white spray.

Then there was the sound of children playing. Downey lay on the beach and slowly opened his eyes. The sea water kept washing against his body.

In a trance, there are the backs of two children.

……

The plot of the movie unfolded slowly, and everyone at the scene watched the movie quietly.

The so-called experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the excitement.

Ordinary audiences frowned, because this movie needs to be watched with full attention. If they miss a little bit, they will not understand the setting, and thus cannot understand the movie.

And those who work professionally in the film industry, especially directors, are also frowning.

Not because of the plot content, but the soundtrack, film color, and editing techniques of this movie.

"Montage."

Zhang Yimou murmured.

"It's a crossover montage."

A nearby voice added,
"And the upside-down montage."

Zhang Yimou nodded.

Reverse montage can be simply understood as interludes or flashbacks.

The cross montage is to cross-edit two actions that happened at the same time and in different spaces.

For example, in criminal investigation dramas, there are often bad guys who want to kill good guys. The knife is raised, and suddenly the scene cuts to the downstairs corridor on the other side, and the police are rushing up with guns.

At this time, there will be a sense of tension.

Are the good guys dead?Will the police come to rescue people?
This is the cross montage, the function is to construct suspense and create a sense of tension.

"Inception" uses this editing technique extensively, and the shots are constantly switching between layers of dreams.

Plus the opening flashback.

Immediately full of suspense, everyone is anxiously waiting for the next scene to happen.

This editing method is simple to say, but it is not easy to use.

It is not easy for a movie to explain the story of a space clearly, let alone interspersed.

Especially if it is used in a large amount, if the cutting is not good, not only will it not be effective, but it will also make people feel inexplicable, and it is difficult to explain everything in each space.

"Xiao Qin's editing skills..." Zhang Yimou clicked his tongue.

Qin Muchu not only explained everything about the dream clearly, but also maximized the tension.

If the film is successful, the editing technique is at least a third of the credit.

The remaining two-thirds are scripts, shooting techniques and special effects.

Actor's performance...

It's not that it's not good, they all acted very realistically, Zhang Yimou was quite surprised that Qin Muchu was able to train Zhou Jiaolun and Liu Xiqian's acting skills to be like two different people.

But this is a director's "show off" work. Watching this movie, the audience is even more amazed at how the director made these things.

In this movie, actors are just "tools", tools to promote the plot.

"Did Xiao Qin cut this movie by himself?"

The man who just added Zhang Yimou's words spoke, a little surprised.

"Yes, he edits all his movies by himself, and doesn't let others intervene."

Zhang Yimou smiled, looked at the man next to him and made a rare joke:

"The Acting Department of the Film Academy produces talents."

The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he heard the teasing in Lao Mouzi's words.

He is the director of Yanying's director department, while a director like Qin Muchu is a student of the acting department.

As the director of the acting department, it was even more embarrassing.

Turning his head to look at Qin Muchu who was several seats away, he said helplessly:

"At the time when this kid came in, I wanted to recruit him to the acting department, but Cui Xinqin wouldn't let him go. He pointed at me and scolded, 'Tian Zhuangzhuang, you dare to come to my place and try to rob me'. Hit me out, what can I do..."

"Haha."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said nothing.

Such a good student, no teacher can let him go.

"But it's not hopeless. Xiao Qin graduated early this year and is going to take a second job at the school. I have to trick him into our director department and teach students a few lessons.

When he graduates, Mr. Cui can no longer stop him.Laughing first is not laughing, then laughing pretty, haha..." Tian Zhuangzhuang said with a smile.

Qin Muchu didn't know that before he graduated, he was already missed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, one of the fifth generation directors...

"How did you get on the horse?"

Jiang Wen couldn't hold back anymore.

He has endured it for a long time, after all, it is really unqualified to talk non-stop while watching a movie.

Just now, I heard a faint sound.

Hmph, I'm ashamed to be with the fifth generation of directors.

Jiang Wen can bear seeing the flood rushing into the izakaya; seeing the explosion of the street scene, he can still persevere;

There is only one thought in mind.

You translate for me, what kind of special movie called stepping on a horse?

"The train is real, and the wheels and the crushed road are special effects. The combination of real shots and special effects is realistic."

Qin Muchu showed a smug smile.

In fact, every time the exclamation came from the premiere scene, he would smile.

As a film creator, most of his pride comes from the various positive reactions of the audience when watching the film.

The box office is actually the least part of the pride mix.

"Lao Jiang, looking forward, the times have changed."

Qin Muchuyu patted Jiang Wen's shoulder earnestly.

His film has actually converged, mainly because of the plot and imagination.

Speaking of special effects, the "monster" that landed at some point this year really subverted people's perception of movies.

……

The more than two-hour movie ended quickly without knowing it. Just when everyone thought the movie was over, a sound suddenly sounded from the blacked-out screen.

"What's the result of the appraisal?"

"Confirmed by dreaming, safe."

At this point, the movie really ends.

The scene lights were turned on, and Qin Muchu and other main creators took the stage.

The applause was thunderous, and it was not enough to resound through the entire theater, it was transmitted to the outside through the sound insulation material.

"Let's gossip less, I believe that after watching this movie, everyone must not want to see Teacher Yu's face again, so let's hurry up and start the questioning session."

Guo Degang also took the stage with the microphone, habitually hurting his partner.

Yu Qian did not weaken Lao Guo, and immediately said:

"If anyone in the audience wants to ask a question, please raise your hand and raise it higher, otherwise Teacher Guo will not see it."

While the scene was full of laughter, Qi Shushu raised countless hands.

"It's just you, lucky audience."

Guo Degang picked one at random.

"Director Qin, Zhuang Zhou, Taoism, and Jixia Academy are mentioned in the movie, and the voices of the last easter egg are Yang Mi and Zhou Huimin, right? They are not just simple airport workers, but also have other identities Right? Is there a second part, the second part...?"

"Stop, stop, boy, you are smart, why don't you leave tonight, and you have a long talk with the director?"

Guo Degang had to interrupt this man half-jokingly.

Dude, can't stop asking.

But the audience did not feel bad for the young man.

Because he asked a very popular question.

Everyone saw this scene in the movie and felt that there was a bigger worldview hidden behind the movie.

The boy's question is their question.

Qin Muchu picked up the microphone to his lips, and coughed twice:
"The second part does have this idea, it's already planned..."

Before the words were finished, the scene of the premiere ceremony became noisy in an instant.

"Then when is it expected to be released? I will definitely buy a ticket to watch it." The young man was very excited.

"Uh, when."

Qin Muchu touched his nose,

"This is not necessarily the case. The actor has not yet been decided, the money is not enough, and the script is not yet available..."

"..."

Guo Degang and Yu Qian looked at Qin Muchu in surprise, and silently moved a few steps aside.

This is never beaten.

"Mimi, if the audience rushes up later, you have to protect me and yell."

Zhou Jiaolun whispered to Yang Mi, who had the highest force value.

"Sister Mi doesn't protect people who don't show loyalty."

Yang Mi still remembers Zhou Jiaolun's hatred for running away in Japan.

Zhou Jiaolun's face turned bitter.

If you don't run in Japan, you will die if you don't live until today.

……

"Let's go, it's almost over."

The middle-aged man brought in by Guo Qilin said.

The premiere has come to an end, the actors on the stage have already withdrawn, only Zhou Jiaolun left the singing song at the request of fans.

"Ah."

The middle-aged woman stood up and suddenly asked again:
"Are Xiao Qin's movies good? I don't understand much."

"Looks good, who would have thought that this kid would really become a great director." The man was amazed.

"The old man thought of it."

The woman looks sad,

"Do you think the old man can understand?"

The man looked at his haggard wife, feeling a little distressed.

In the past two months, my wife has never had a peaceful night's sleep. She is in a trance and not in a high mood.

If this continues, he is really afraid that something will happen to his wife.

Holding his wife in his arms, he said softly:

"Yes, the old man can understand it. He is watching now. Don't you worry the old man? He told us to hide it from Xiao Qin, just because he is worried that Xiao Qin is like you..."

The two were talking, not noticing that a group of people was walking towards them.

"You are getting more and more courageous now! Bring people in casually..."

The more Guo Degang talked, the more angry he became, his eyebrows were erected, and he was about to stretch out his hand to pinch Guo Qilin's ear.

He noticed his son's strange behavior when he was hosting on the stage, and he didn't have to ask about it until just now, and this question made him break out in a cold sweat.

My son even sneaked into the movie theater with someone who didn't have a ticket!

This matter can be big or small.

If it's really an ordinary audience without tickets, then it doesn't matter, and I don't mean to earn two more tickets for the premiere.

But if someone came to the premiere with ulterior motives to make trouble, then it would be troublesome.

Not that there is no such thing.

Kissing actresses forcibly, throwing actresses down, and even proposing marriage have happened at the event.

If it was really because of his son's scandal, Guo Degang felt that he might not be able to continue running the theater, not to mention appearing on TV.

"Ms. Guo, Mr. Guo, it's all over, isn't it okay? Qi Lin is also kind. Kindness is a good quality and should be encouraged."

Qin Muchu quickly stopped Lao Guo and pulled the fat man behind him.

He didn't take this matter to heart, he didn't think that his character was so bad that he just happened to run into a pervert.

However, he was very curious about what Guo Qilin said, "Those two uncles and aunts seem to know Director Qin", so he followed him to see for himself.

"It's those two uncles and aunts."

Guo Qilin pulled Qin Muchu's clothes and pointed to the front.

His eyes were red, and he was very frightened by Lao Guo.

"Ah."

Qin Muchu looked at the middle-aged couple.

The lights are dim, so it's not very real, but it looks a little familiar.

When I got closer, I could see more clearly, my brain searched quickly, and I quickly remembered it.

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Sun!"

He walked up quickly.

This middle-aged couple is the dean's daughter and son-in-law, and they sent a photo with the dean a few years ago.

The middle-aged couple froze when they heard Qin Muchu's voice.

Seeing Qin Muchu approaching, his first reaction was to turn around and want to leave.

But Qin Muchu has already walked to the side:

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Sun, it's me, Xiao Qin."

He smiled and walked in front of the two, bowed slightly:
"Why are you here, and you didn't tell me, is the dean also here?"
