This director needs to apologize

Chapter 224 You know how to interpret

The movie screening ended and the theater lights turned on.

Sun Wangquan's skills are there, the picture is beautiful, the colors are bright, and the tear points are captured very well. Therefore, the audience in the screening hall was so proud that they gave thunderous applause without wiping their tears.

Chen Yiming clapped his hands while trying to find a logical explanation for this phenomenon.

After much deliberation, he felt that it still had to be attributed to the unique atmosphere of the theater.

On the one hand, it is the forced concentrated viewing in a closed and dark environment, and on the other hand, it is the subconscious empathy when being in a group. The superposition of the two really helps to amplify the audience's inner emotions, overwhelming their emotional side. The rational side.

Of course, this amplification effect does not last long. When the audience leaves the screening room and is exposed to an open and noisy environment again, especially when they receive external information again, the suppressed rational side will immediately regain the upper hand.

After all, most people agree with reason and logic, and human memory is selective, and parts that are not consistent with common sense are often bolded and emphasized.

Thinking about it this way, movies are really irreplaceable in a certain way, because only the screening hall can provide this "sense of loneliness in the crowd" and give the audience an emotional experience of freeing their sensibility.

The mainstream views in the past, such as that television and video websites will kill movies, or that only visual effects blockbusters can survive in theaters, are not inherently correct.

While Chen Yiming was wandering around the world, Sun Wangquan had already led Ning Ning and several other actors to stand up and come to the big screen to bow to the applauding audience.

The applause stopped and Sun Wangquan and others took their seats.

The theater company placed a row of single sofas in front of the auditorium. This condition was much better than when Chen Yiming was running a road show, and it reflected Sun Wangquan's brand from the side.

The strange thing is that although it is a press conference, there is no emcee on site to control the process.

Just when the media reporters couldn't help but ask questions of their own, a man walked out from the side aisle, and his loud voice echoed through the microphone through the entire screening hall.

"Hello, media and audience friends, my name is Zhang Weiping, and I welcome you to the magic city preview of "Jinling"."

Chen Yiming's eyes narrowed, "You really have your Lao Zhang, Mr. Han, you dare to fool me!"

Zhang Weiping deliberately did not make contact with Chen Yiming's burning eyes, and also turned a blind eye to Sun Wangquan's surprised eyes, focusing on being his own on-site emcee.

The media reporters immediately became excited. Zhang Weiping, the big talker, was here, and his opponent Chen Yiming was also present. Why not get excited quickly?

Having been in the film industry for more than ten years, it goes without saying that Zhang Weiping's skills in talking are easy to hold and hold the audience.

As a senior producer, his media relations are also deeply rooted. Although he is not as responsive as Wang Yibai of the Imperial Circle, he also has good media friends in major cities.

Therefore, with the tacit cooperation between inside and outside, the atmosphere in the first half of the meeting was very harmonious. Sun Wangquan and Quan girl Ning Ning became the focus of the meeting, telling many behind-the-scenes stories and tidbits of the movie.

Under Zhang Weiping's guidance, the topic of the meeting bypassed the huge controversy on Weibo, and reporters also selectively forgot about the still closed comment area of ​​the "Jinling" official blog.

However, after all, Lao Zhang was not allowed to enjoy the feast. After being praised for a few times, he got a little carried away and started talking nonsense with the microphone.

"With an investment of 6 million, the Hollywood actor plays the leading role. This configuration is unique in China. Oscars for foreign language films are just scenery on the road. Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor are the end of the journey."

Good guy! Reporters call him a good guy!

Zhang Weiping's strength explains what it means to be a duck. He only has the toughest mouth. It doesn't matter if he can't win the Olympics. He can get it right in one step and directly look forward to the highest Oscar award.

Can Chen Yiming do it?

The reporters who were kept in their seats by Lao Zhang and were so focused on making trouble said that they felt comfortable. This time, they no longer had to look for the beginning of the interview. They could directly ask Chen Yiming questions. Who knows that he is the only one present who has won an Oscar? He is such a senior.

So a reporter from Inspur Entertainment didn't wait for Zhang Weiping to finish his lyrical speech, and jumped out to ask, "Director Chen, what do you think of "Jinling"'s Olympic success?"

Many people in the venue immediately followed and shouted, "Director Chen, let's talk."

Zhang Weiping changed his face at the speed of light, but the public sentiment was overwhelming and it was difficult to disobey the public opinion. He could only ask the staff to pass the microphone to Chen Yiming.

The reason why he dared to violate the tacit agreement between the two parties and "surprise" the meeting was that he was sure that Chen Yiming would not break up in public.

As for integrity and character, what are they? Can they be eaten?

Chen Yiming held the microphone, but his expression was a little awkward, as if he had something to hide.

The reporters became even more excited when they saw it, and the noise in the venue became even louder.

Chen Yiming saw that the atmosphere was almost complete, so he spoke dryly. ""The King" has a distinct international perspective and is fully capable of representing China in the Oscar competition. I have no doubt about this. I hope that "The King" can shine at the Oscars in the next year."

The reporters skillfully omitted the soup in Chen Yiming's words and accurately caught the only shredded meat.

A reporter from Inspur Entertainment rushed to ask, "Director Chen, you are wrong, it should be next year's Oscars."

Chen Yiming answered innocently, "It's too late next year. The application deadline for foreign language film awards is mid-October."

Or a reporter from Inspur Entertainment turned into a fan, "What about the main competition awards such as Best Picture?"

Chen Yiming sighed and replied regretfully, "We can't make it either. It will be released in North America before November 11. This is the latest time. If it is later, it will have to be pushed to next year."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of low laughter from the scene, which was obviously the result of uncontrollable laughter.

Reporters and audiences alike are professionally trained not to laugh unless they can't help it.

Zhang Weiping's face swelled up to the color of pig liver. Chen Yiming's face was beaten too hard.

Lao Zhang started promising to enter the Oscars, but Xiao Chen supported him until a year later. Regardless of whether "Jinling" can still represent China in the competition in the future, Zhang Weiping's hat of "loan marketing" will never be taken off.

Unfortunately, he couldn't accuse Chen Yiming of anything, because the latter didn't say anything bad about "The King", but just repeated a few sentences from the official Oscar website.

As for why no reporter paid attention to those regulations before and allowed Zhang Weiping to brag about the Oscars, Chen Yiming said God knows.

The reporters would not look at Zhang Weiping's face. Since Zhang gave up on controlling the field because of his luck, the reporters chose to rely on their own efforts.

Next, a reporter from Penguin Entertainment asked with even more ulterior motives, "Director Chen, since you attended the preview of "Jinling", does it mean that the feud between you and Mr. Zhang has been reconciled?"

Chen Yiming asked in surprise, "When have I ever had a quarrel? Today is the first time that Mr. Zhang Weiping and I meet. How can we quarrel if we are strangers?"

A burst of boos erupted from the scene. This is called lying with your eyes open. Could it be that the IDs in the comment section of "Jinling" that used your name as a fan are all cyber cyborgs?

The clever reporter got what Chen Yiming meant (dense fog) and vividly recounted Zhang Weiping's outrageous "dog leash" remarks again.

This time, ordinary viewers in the screening room who didn't know the inside story also understood and looked sideways at Zhang Weiping.

Chen Yiming ordered the troops to withdraw immediately. Today he came to support Sun Wangquan, not to intensify the conflict. It was Lao Zhang's fault that he broke his promise. It was obvious that Lao Sun was unaware, so there was no need to expand the scope of the attack.

He raised the microphone and said, "I have been looking forward to Director Sun's Anti-Japanese War blockbuster for a long time. That period of history is a heavy chapter for China. Visualization is a matter that requires courage and determination. Therefore, I admire Director Sun very much."

As for the turmoil on the Internet, I think we should return to the roots as soon as possible. Whether it is publicity or reviews, it should all revolve around the movie itself.

This is respect for the creative staff of "Jinling" and respect for the audience's right to choose. "

Many reporters wrote down the records in a hurry, and their minds were also spinning fast.

Good guy, this is how a cultured person curses people without uttering curse words. It seems like he is just scratching the surface and saying nothing, but in fact, everything is said between the lines.

What I was looking forward to was director Sun's anti-war blockbuster, but the title "Jinling" was missing. In addition, Chen Yiming deliberately refused to comment subjectively. It seems that he did not have a good impression of the movie "Jinling".

When it comes to the turmoil on the Internet, it is a return to the movie itself, and there is no mention of his fans' behavior of blasting the official blog. Obviously Chen Yiming does not think there is anything wrong with the fans.

The two respects are juxtaposed, which means that the audience can watch it or not. It is true that Chen Yiming is not optimistic about "Jinling".

If Chen Yiming knew about this series of analysis by the reporter, he would definitely send a word of praise.
