Chapter 252 He's a Nice Guy

"President Zhu!"

"Director Yang!"

"Teacher Lu!"

"Uncle Lou, Mrs. Lou, welcome!"

"Brother Ye, you're here too!"

"Director Peng, long time no see!"

The reason why the premiere was held in Shanghai Film City was because the film was released by Shanghai Film Studio, which occupied the home field; on the other hand, Li Tang's main contacts were still in Shanghai.

For example, Zhu Yongde, the president of the Shanghai Film Group and the director of the Shanghai Film Studio, which was just established in August this year, and the director and art director of the drama center of Li Tang's old unit, and other heavyweight guests were present one by one.

In addition, several directors from Shanghai Film Studio and many colleagues from the drama center also came to join in.

Li Tang and Cheng Er led the way, and Xu Guangtou, Fan Xiaopang, Jiang Qinqin and other main actors lined up at the entrance of the theater to welcome them.

This formation immediately attracted many movie fans.Originally, today's premiere had already been advertised on TV stations, newspapers and the Internet, but the first hall, which can accommodate 1118 seats, was still not full.At the moment, the attracted movie fans flocked to the ticket booth when they heard that there were still tickets for the premiere, and the remaining tickets were sold out at once.

Of course, these audiences are more to watch stars.

After all, apart from the main creators of the film, many of the guests who came here were also familiar faces. For example, Director Yang of the Drama Center was born as a famous actor.

Mr. Lu Liang, the artistic director of the Drama Center, is even more well-known.In addition, several old mages from the drama center-Wei Zongwan, Zhou Yemang, etc. are also included.

More than 40 guests, plus the first hall was full of seats, finally propped up the scene of the premiere.

The host of the premiere ceremony is Xu Guangtou's classmate and also a famous program host of Dongfang TV, Cheng Lei.

Before the film was screened, the main creators appeared on stage. It was the first time for the director Cheng Er, who was the protagonist, to experience such a big scene. Coupled with the attribute of social terror, he stumbled in just a few words.

The eyes of the audience were naturally focused on Li Tang, Xiaopang, Jiang Qinqin and Xu Guangtou, including the TV cameras.

The reporter's interview session will be placed after the film screening, and the pomp of the premiere ceremony will also be broadcast in the entertainment news tonight.

The interaction time before the screening was not long, about ten minutes or so.A low-budget art film like "The Third Man" is useless even if you talk about it, the film itself trumps everything else.

The lights slowly dimmed, the screen came on, and the noise gradually quieted down.

After skipping the dragon logo and the Shanghai Film Studio logo, a close-up shot of Fan Xiaopang appeared on the big screen. I saw her with a ball head, a blue retro sweater, and slightly lowered her head, as if watching wearing something.

The screen went dark and then turned on again. It was still a close-up shot of Fan Xiaopang, but at this time, her head had been raised, and she was not looking directly at the camera, her gaze shifted slightly.

In the camera, she did not wear so-called plain makeup, but real plain makeup, but her skin was still very fair.What really attracted the audience's attention was not her still beautiful plain face, but the disappointment in her peaceful and quiet eyes.

Those who are knowledgeable among the guests can understand at a glance that the dramatic tension is completely placed on one face, and the symmetrical composition is dignified and restrained, which is in line with the psychological temperament of the character here.

Knowledgeable people have expectations for the movie just through one shot, while most audiences have a feeling that they don't know what's going on.Only viewers who have read a lot of films may see that this seems to have the shadow of Wong Kar Wai's movies.

The camera flashed, and Fan Xiaopang was leaning over and dragging a person's body with great difficulty. Since his arms were pulled up, it happened to block the person's face, and he could only tell by his clothes that it was a man.

Finally, Fan Xiaopang lost his energy and sat down on the ground, while the pulled arm that blocked the camera fell down, and only then did the audience see clearly that the person she was dragging was Li Tang.

Is Li Tang dead?
When all the audience had doubts, the screen flashed again, and a car was slowly pushed out from the automatic car washing machine. Through the windshield sprayed with water mist, a man could be vaguely seen sitting in the car.

As the car was slowly withdrawn and the wipers wiped off the water on the windshield, it was obvious that the man sitting in the driver's seat was Li Tang.At this time, he looked unkempt, his hair was oily and messy, and his beard hadn't been shaved in two days, and he looked a bit scruffy.

I saw that he was lying on the seat and fell asleep at this time. As the camera slowly zoomed in, it was still a fixed close-up shot. Working day and night, very exhausting.

It wasn't until a car horn rang from behind that he was pleasantly surprised from his sleep, looked around blankly, and then pulled himself together, started the car, and turned a corner in front of the camera.

The picture flashed again, this time in a room, this is a long shot, through the narrow and long living room, I saw the back of a person on the balcony, I saw him slowly climbing up the balcony.

Almost at the same time, everyone present had an idea that this person was going to jump off the building.

But this person stood on the balcony for a while, and then slowly squatted down. At this time, he finally saw the profile of this person. That's right, it was Xu Guangtou.

But at this time, he can't be called bald, because he has hair, which is a little disheveled. When he turned his head slowly, he saw the melancholy face that was completely different from "Li Wei as an Official" and "Pig Bajie".

This was followed by another long shot, which was taken from the opposite building. At this moment, the audience finally saw clearly that there was a cabinet on the balcony that was about as high as the railing. At this time, Baldy Xu was squatting on the cabinet, The camera zooms in and out, explaining that the person who wants to jump off the building just doesn't have the courage yet.

The camera switches to the house again, still a long shot through the narrow living room.Hearing the ringing of the phone, Xu Guangtou, who was squatting on the balcony cabinet, turned his head and looked into the room, then turned his head and ignored it, but the phone kept ringing tirelessly...

The picture flashed again, a printing workshop with a roaring machine, a chubby man with long hair and a blue overalls T-shirt standing in front of the machine, looking down at the colorful pictorials that were constantly spit out from the machine.

"DiDi, DiDi..."

The beep of the black electronic watch on her hand made her recover. She walked to the dressing room, opened the locker, and took the medicine.

It turned out that she was a patient.

The screen flashed again, and Li Tang was already driving on the road. The sycamore trees on both sides of the road were dense with leaves, and inside the walls were quaint small western-style buildings.This is a quiet tree-lined road, and many local audiences immediately recognized that this road should be Wuyuan Road.

The lens looks through the windshield from the inside of the car, and a little girl is seen riding a bicycle in the distance.

The screen jumped again, a CT image of the human brain was slowly appearing, and in another flash, a long-haired woman with eyes covered and most of her face lying on the CT bed was slowly pushed out.After stopping, the woman pulled off the black blindfold on her face, it was Fan Xiaopang's pale face.

It turned out that she was mentally ill.

The constantly switching screens make the audience look confused, because these screens are completely fragmented, and the only information obtained is probably that Li Tang has a car. It seems that he has a relatively successful career, but he is very busy and causes sleepiness. Insufficient people; Fan Xiaopang, a printing factory worker, has a brain problem, literally, as if something has grown in his brain; Xu Guangtou, a hesitant, decadent person, has suicidal tendencies.

Except for Jiang Qinqin, the three leading actors have all appeared, but what is the story about?have no idea!
And when those knowledgeable guests saw these fragmented shots, they showed surprised expressions on their faces, and at the same time, a movie term appeared in their minds-"non-linear narrative editing".

Perhaps these guests may have come here for Li Tang in the first place, after all, he won the Best Actor Award in the Upstream Unit of the Venice Film Festival.

According to the weight of the awards, this award may be second only to the winners of the main competition units of the three major European film festivals, and it is comparable to the winners of other international A-category film festivals.

But at this time, the expert guests had to look at the young director Cheng Er who stuttered and couldn't speak clearly just now.

Probably only Comrade Zhu, the boss of Shanghai Film Group and director of Shanghai Film Studio, had a bright face. As a producer, he had not only seen the finished film, but also the rough cut version.There is only one conclusion, Shanghai Film Studio has produced a talented director.

We must know that an excellent director can often support a film studio.

Xie Jin is a very clear example.

Then, there was a sudden sound of brakes, and the car driven by Li Tang hit a little girl on a bicycle on this quiet tree-lined road.

Finally, it was related to Li Tang sleeping in the car before, tired of work and tired driving.

The bicycle crashed, and the little girl fell unconscious on the road.Li Tang got out of the car nervously, looked at the little girl lying on the ground, and looked around, but there was no one in the silence.

Want to hit and run?

The next moment, Li Tang picked up the little girl and put it in the car, leaving behind the damaged bicycle, and the car sped away.

Obviously Li Tang didn't hit and run, and he was a good man to send the little girl to the hospital.
