This director needs to apologize

Chapter 156 Pioneer Fu Ruixiang

The person who stood up was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked polite and polite.

After taking the microphone, he spoke slowly.

"Hello Director Chen, I am Miao Peifu, the columnist of "People Weekly". I bought the movie tickets for this show at a high price from scalpers just because I hope to have a communication with Director Chen.

Now you just picked me among so many viewers, maybe this is fate. "

This person is worthy of being a writer. With just a few words, he changed the atmosphere in the theater that was about to break up and focused everyone's attention on himself.

After a slight pause, Miao Peifu continued, "Director Chen, I have watched the movie "1951" three times. The preview screening in Suicheng was the first time. I was on a business trip in the Imperial Capital on the premiere day and watched it. Second time.

These three times I watched the movie, I bought high-priced scalper tickets. Although online and offline promotions said that watching "1951" only costs [-] yuan, maybe I was unlucky and never enjoyed this benefit. "

After hearing this, Chen Yiming already knew that this Miao writer came with bad intentions.

The audience in the screening room also stopped laughing, and some began to look sideways at Miao Peifu, who stood out from the crowd.

Listen carefully and everyone will be able to sense the implication of the questioner.

Being irritated by so many eyes, Miao Peifu didn't care and continued talking on his own.

"Director Chen, you have brought a lot of new things to the Chinese film industry. Because of their newness, I will not jump to conclusions before the effects are obvious. Of course, now is not the right time to communicate with me in depth.

Therefore, I only ask one question today. I hope that Director Chen will give me some advice for the sake of my three high-priced tickets. "

Chen Yiming's expression remained unchanged, and he extended his right hand to make a gesture of invitation.

"Director Chen, in the movie "1951", I saw your strong confidence in China, because every character in the story is determined and unwavering.

I don’t want to argue about the truth of reality and the truth of art here. There is only one question that I can’t let go of.

At that time, China, which was in desperate need of revitalization, still faced the difficulties faced by the powerful coalition forces. Why now, after its national power has greatly increased, in the face of only a few Hollywood blockbusters, it has to close itself off and bury its head and become an ostrich?

Director Chen, I would like to know, as one of the direct beneficiaries, what do you think of this? "

As soon as Writer Miao finished speaking, there was a hum of whispers in the screening room.

"This person named Miao has no good intentions. He asked this kind of question during a road show and deliberately caused trouble."

"But I think what he said makes sense. I'm really looking forward to "Ark". I heard the special effects are awesome."

"If you ask a director about major national affairs, he will be too up to date. As expected, even those who wear glasses and are polite are scum."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't fire the map cannon. There are more than 100 people here, but half of them are wearing glasses."

"It's understandable. It's the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It would be embarrassing if Hollywood still weighs on us."

"I'm just watching a movie to have fun. I don't want to be so forceful. It's really a pen that kills without showing blood."

"Listen to what Director Chen has to say. Anyway, I'm a dumbass and can't think of a proper answer."

The theater staff standing at the door frequently winked at Chen Yiming, apparently understanding the sinister intentions of Miao Peifu's question. This was a hint as to whether Chen Yiming needed a "technical pause."

Chen Yiming pressed down his left hand to signal him to calm down, and then raised the microphone with his right hand.

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Miao for contributing 3 movie tickets. I am a die-hard fan in every sense of the word. I am very happy about this. Thank you.

For a question, I always adhere to the principle of answering yes first and then why.

We all know that the schedule of imported movies in China is determined by collective discussion by the theater screening committee under the Film Bureau. This is just an administrative decision by a bureau-level unit, and it is not close to the level of seclusion in any case.

I don’t know if the Hollywood blockbusters Mr. Miao mentioned are the ones that are rumored to be released simultaneously around the world during the summer. Let’s just leave it at that.

However, its domestic release date seems to have never been officially announced, and the so-called global synchronization has always been a rumor.

One fact we can be clear about is that there are not many precedents for imported films to be synchronized globally.

Mr. Miao investigated the schedule of imported movies over the years and found out that it is the norm in the industry for Hollywood blockbusters to be released in China with a delay of 3-6 months.

You see, regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, "1951" actually has no benefit, so Mr. Miao's analogy does not hold. "

Miao Pei's Mansion did not expect that Chen Yiming was even more rogue than him. Under the guise that unspoken rules were not rules, they directly sent him a check to find out whether this was the case.

Both of them knew each other that the rumors were true.But despite the high-sounding claims, true rumors are still rumors, and it is easy to refute them.

Miao Peifu couldn't help but curse inwardly, this guy is so naughty at a young age, why should he be a director if he has such ability? He should be an official instead.

Unwilling to be reconciled, he couldn't help but continue to ask questions, and even used provocation.

“As far as I know, Hollywood companies have always demanded that national treatment be matched domestically, and the schedules of imported films should be synchronized both domestically and domestically.

As the holder of the global box office record for domestic films, Director Chen will surely not be afraid of competing head-on with Hollywood blockbusters, right? "

Chen Yiming smiled and replied, "Of course not, not only me, but any director who is backed by a country with a population of 14 billion and has a cultural heritage of 5000 years will not be afraid of competing head-on with Hollywood."

Miao Peifu was suffocated by Chen Yiming's matter-of-fact tone. He intended to make a few sarcastic remarks, but found it difficult to finish.Opposite me is a young man who is much younger than me. Isn't it natural to be young and frivolous?What does a few big words mean?
There were also mostly young people in the screening room, and Chen Yiming's cheerful answers were right to their liking.

Some of the audience in front of and behind him applauded and applauded, but they all looked at him with something strange.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue had reversed, Miao Peifu knew that any further entanglement would only make the magistrate laugh, so he decisively retreated with a carefree smile.

The road show ended here. The group of people left from the exit first, boarded the nanny car and rushed to the next stop.

Sitting in the car, Liu Dongjun asked with lingering fear, "Brother Chen, I don't know, is the road show so scary? If the man named Miao asked me instead of you, I might have been buried in his trap by now. ”

Duan Yining's expression was also more serious, "Yiming, is it really okay? Do you want to find someone to clear things up? The influence of People Weekly is not small. We are being targeted at this time, which is harmful rather than helpful."

Perhaps because of Duan Yining's solemn tone, Maodou, Zhang Yi and Zhang Yu, who had closed their eyes to rest, all turned their heads to look over.

Chen Yiming smiled and reassured everyone, "It's okay, have you forgotten? "1951" is the main theme. This incident is inevitable. It was anticipated before the release. Don't worry.

As for "People Weekly", it is just a pawn. There are no Miao writers but Tian reporters. It will happen sooner or later.

And this wave is not necessarily a bad thing. I told Da Zhuang the same thing, times have changed.

Many people still use the same words, and they can't even evaluate whether the result of their hard work is a smear or an assist. "

Seeing that Chen Yiming was confident, everyone felt relieved for the time being.

The theater just now was just the second show of today's road show. Next, we have to visit two theaters, which is four road shows throughout the day.

After the show ended at 8 pm, Chen Yiming, Duan Yining and Liu Dongjun couldn't rest yet. They had to rush to the Magic City TV Station to record a talk show.

It was already midnight when everything was done. After returning to the hotel, Chen Yiming simply washed up. His growling stomach didn't stop him from touching the pillow and falling asleep instantly.

When Chen Yiming got up at 9 a.m. the next day while having breakfast, he received a call from Ma Yunteng.

"Yi Ming, I have found out the identity of the scumbag who made things difficult for you yesterday. He is a public official who immigrated to Kangaroo Country. If you quarrel with him and dirty your mouth, you don't have to worry about it. Leave it to me. I will let him." He knows that not everyone can touch Bo Jue's people."

Chen Yiming laughed so hard that he almost sprayed the milk in his mouth on the table, "Dazhuang, I'm just a beacon of envy. I was quite polite yesterday. There's no need to shout like this.

By the way, why did you call him Miao Scum? "

Da Zhuang also laughed when he heard this, "You don't know, as soon as I inquired about it yesterday, I found that Ganqing had already become famous.

He is not a reporter and does not have the right to interview, so he is particularly good at taking advantage of the situation like yesterday and stabbing him in a weird way in front of the public. The angrier the host becomes, the more proud he becomes. He is such a disgusting person.

He looks like a gentleman, but he does all the immoral things, so he is just a scumbag. "

After laughing, Chen Yiming said in a more serious tone, "Dazhuang, there is really no need to get entangled with him. There are so many people like him nowadays, we can't afford that Zhen'er.

If he didn't ask similar questions, wouldn't certain media and big Vs stop writing about it?impossible.

It would be more appropriate for us to think about how to turn waste into treasure. For example, yesterday I blew the big talk about hard-faced Hollywood. Without him as a proponent, it would be inconvenient for me to say this to others.

You ask Lao Jia's team to think more about it. Online public opinion is not just praising but it is guiding. Only when there is opposition and controversy and discussion can it become popular.

Yesterday's road show, the answers given by several leading actors were worthy of making a fuss, such as Maodou's views on the life and death of the characters in the film, Zhang Yu's interpretation of the image of our soldiers, and Zhang Yi's discussion on the use of dialects in the film.

These are good topics with no threshold for participation and very close psychological distance. The audience has raised them. What are Lao Jia waiting for? "

On the other side of the phone, Da Zhuang kept nodding his head, put on the phone and started making arrangements for the meeting.

Chen Yiming hung up the phone and continued to eat. There were still 4 theaters today, and then he set off straight to Hangzhou in the evening. He probably had to eat lunch and dinner in the car.

As a result, before I finished peeling the eggs and put them in my mouth, the phone rang again.

Chen Yiming wiped his hands and opened them to see that it was Fu Ruixiang.

"Hey Xiangrui, why are you calling me when you have time? Bi She is finished?"

Xiangrui's furious voice came from the receiver, "Yiming, you must help me this time. I must make that Bichi look good."

Chen Yiming listened in a daze and simply said nothing and waited for Xiangrui to explain the whole story.

It turned out to be a graduation short film.

There was a rival in the same class as Xiangrui, who was considered the second generation of a Hollywood family. He joined the cast immediately after graduation and worked as an assistant director.

When reporting on the final topic selection, the two somehow got into a fight again. With each other's words, the situation continued to escalate, and the stakes became larger and larger. From a short film versus a professor and a judge, to a feature film that speaks at the box office. .

Xiangrui's professor saw the excitement and did not take it too seriously. He made the decision on the spot and directly extended the 6-month time limit set by the school to one year. It was a year of preparation, filming and post-production, and the publicity and release period were not included.

It can be said that the conditions are already quite relaxed.

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of hand, the professor specifically limited the independent investment amount of the two people, stipulating that it should not exceed 100 million nut coins.

In addition to the 10 nut coins subsidized by the Bishe Short Film School, it is possible to produce a theatrical feature film with 110 million including production and promotion.
