Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 440 It's all true, not a single word is false

"So what are Director Zhou's expectations for this movie?" The host brought the topic back to the process.

Zhou Mo picked up the microphone and thought for a moment.

“According to my past thinking, I should have fired another shot and tried to refresh my own box office record.

But this is an art film after all, and I wasn't going for the box office in the first place... If I really have to say what I want, I can only say that I hope as many audiences as possible can see this movie.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange has superior geographical conditions, vast development space and numerous growth opportunities.

For example, the 4050 Project provided hundreds of thousands of free stalls in total.

After being laid off, female workers can receive skills training and return to their jobs after regulation, so the wave of layoffs will be relatively mild.

It's hard, but at least there's a way out.

But the situation in the three northeastern provinces is different.

It's a complete collapse of the industry.

In that case, there is nowhere to go after getting off the hill.

Even if you have some family background, you can start a small business as a vendor.

But everyone else had no money and couldn’t even sell their stuff.

Struggling to survive became the inevitable result.

There is a sentence to describe the difference between the two places:

For ordinary people in the Shanghai Stock Exchange that year, the winter might have passed if they had just endured.

For ordinary people, the winter in the three northeastern provinces that year could have been endured.

In this case, the things taken away by the representatives headed by Zhang Moujie were not much compared to the entire storm.

But this does not mean that the actions of Zhang Moujie and his gang can be forgiven.

In fact, it is at times like this that the little bit of living resources become more important.

The icing on the cake is not as good as providing timely assistance.

It was precisely because Zhang Moujie and his gang transferred the few remaining resources that the winters in the three northeastern provinces seemed even colder in those years.

When it comes to survival, every bite of food becomes extremely important.

Every speck of dust of the times is like a mountain when it falls on a person's head.

The actions of people like Zhang Moujie are like shoveling away the only piece of tent above people's heads.

Zhou Mo showed all of these in the movie.

For Zhou Mo, not caring about the box office is not just because "My Song" is an art film.

But when the above content is successfully expressed by him, he is satisfied.

The same principle was not only understood by Zhou Mo, but also by many people.

So, when he said "I hope more people can see it", he immediately received a lot of responses.

Sun Honglei supported the film and said, "Director Zhou's words really touched my heart. I personally experienced that era and was deeply impressed by it. So when I saw this movie, I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

This kind of good movie should be seen by more people. What I am thinking now is that I will book a theater and invite people from my hometown to watch this movie as a way of supporting the movie."

After Sun Honglei finished speaking, other actors from the three northeastern provinces expressed their support one after another.

Zhou Mo advised: "Of course I'm happy that everyone supports me, but please try to do what you can. The crew is already very grateful for helping with publicity."

"Don't worry, Director Zhou. It's my duty to help with publicity."

"From today on, I am the tap water of "Songs in the Song"."

……

The subsequent process went very quickly and the premiere was over soon.

After returning to the backcourt, Zhou Mo stretched.

The premiere lasted the entire afternoon, and to be honest, I was a little tired.

Compared to him, the main creators of other crews were very energetic, even radiant and rosy-faced.

They were really praised today.

A large group of people, including leaders, directors, and actors, support it together.

This is a boat new approval never seen before.

"I'm going to be unable to sleep tonight. That's Director Zhang. Director Zhang just contacted me and asked me to consider my next film."

"Me too. Director Chen Kaige also contacted me and said that my image in the movie meets his requirements."

"A film crew just contacted me..."

Zhou Mo watched them sharing their joy with a smile.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of shared secrets basically do not exist.

It is easy to make people jealous and cause conflicts.

Especially for young people who have just entered the industry, there are only a few resources that a large number of people can access.

If there is someone stupid enough, sharing it today might just as well be snatched away tomorrow.

A typical example is Zhang Tianai.

Old resources are in high demand.

Because of the competition for resources, he had conflicts with Jin Chen and Dao Mei.

Fortunately, several main creators of "In My Singing" are veterans in the entertainment industry, and their acting styles are different. There is basically no conflict between them, and sharing is conducive to cultivating feelings.

And this is only the first wave.

Once the movie is widely broadcast, word of mouth improves, and the actors' acting skills are recognized by the audience, their resources will be further improved.

These invitations now are just appetizers.

"In the next month, everyone will have to work harder. The promotion of the movie still depends on you." Zhou Mo clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Don't worry, Director Zhou. I promise to be in high spirits!" Wang Baobao was beaming with joy.

At today's premiere, he was the most popular actor in the entire crew, and received even more than Zhang Ziyi.

The reason is simple. The story of Qu Heng in the movie is good, especially the contrast between Qu Heng being cowardly and honest in the early stage and suddenly living happily abroad with his daughter in the end, which is particularly impressive.

Zhou Mo nodded and didn't say much.

Baby, I have already reminded you here. The rest is up to you.

……

In the evening, the news of the premiere had already spread.

Countless stars, directors, and film critics have given this drama a fantasy feel.

Judging from the momentum, the movement of an art film even exceeded that of this month's hottest movie "Wolf Warrior".

But no one thought there was a problem.

Including Wu Jing and Wu Jing's fans.

Because Wu Jing is the biggest tap water of "My Singing Voice".

He posted six updates in a row in one day to promote the movie.

The title of “the second generation Zhou Chui leader” is well deserved.

It is worth mentioning that the leader of the first generation of Zhou Chui was Huang Xiaoming.

In addition to the actors' acting skills and the film's plot, the crew also focused on the topic of "truth" in their promotion.

"A true history, a real historical event".

"Reconstructing for you what happened during that time."

"The footprints of the times will not disappear, and the records of history cannot be erased."

"It's all true, nothing is false."

It was the first time for many netizens to see this type of promotional method, and they were even more surprised when combined with the plot content of the promotional videos released between movies.

Are you afraid that the audience doesn't know who you are filming?

In the past, when making movies or TV series, when it came to showing the plot and cases, the crew would try their best to carry out secondary processing and try not to involve the original case.

In order to prevent some people from getting drawn into the story after watching it, some crews often make special adaptations.

After all, some things were really done by some people.

For example, the broadcast of "In the Name of People" was once forcibly intervened and interfered with.

This is what many crews fear.

However, you, Zhou Mo, are worthy of being Zhou Mo, you are bold and tough.

Don’t mention anything else in the promotion, just mention authenticity.

So bold, I love it.

When the audiences in the three northeastern provinces saw these promotions, they were immediately excited.

Only those who experienced it personally know how difficult it was back then.

Now someone has a voice for them and finishes their story.

And it was almost like naming names.

Easy to open!

Followed!

As a result, in just a few days, the sales of movie tickets for "In My Song" skyrocketed at an outrageous rate.

This situation is too rare, so we have to support it even for the sake of novelty.

However, after watching the movie, these audiences who originally came to see the movie for fun immediately stopped talking.

After leaving the cinema, many people had similar expressions and states.

They all had gloomy faces and looked distressed.

This movie is really painful to watch.

I originally thought it was just a movie depicting miserable life, how miserable could it be?

Some art film fans even thought that this movie was another movie about a special period, and was somewhat similar to "The Return".

But after watching it, they were speechless.

"The Return" is a story of suffering. The couple cannot be reunited and are separated for a long time. When they finally meet, they cannot recognize each other because of the wife's illness.

But at least there is still some warmth.

The relationship between Lu Yanshi and Feng Wanyu is touching.

But after watching "In My Song", this... is just all bitterness.

Especially the scene where Hao Xing sends Zhen Fu to "do business". From beginning to end, no character says a word, whether it is Hao and Zhen, the man on the roadside, or the pedestrians coming and going in a hurry, and yet one can hear thousands of words.

Of course, "The Song" is not without sweet content.

Zhang Jie’s family is quite sweet.

A loving mother and a filial daughter.

It’s so damn sweet.

But the sweetness of their family is built on the bitterness of more than 500 families.

Every time Zhang Jie's family appears in the movie, the tone of the entire picture turns into warm colors.

When the scene turns to Hao Zhen and the other person, the tone quickly turns cold.

This visual difference will quickly amplify people's feelings and bring about very strong emotional changes.

A very common film lens technique.

Basic, but works well.

Lu Renjia, one of Zhou Mo's fans.

At first, I bought movie tickets and watched the movie because Zhou Mo’s promotion was quite novel.

After watching it, I felt my scalp tingling.

awful.

It's too awful.

Why was he so impulsive this time that he went to watch the movie on the first day of its release?

ps: This is the chapter I owed last night. I didn’t have time to write it during the day. Sorry everyone, my back still hurts, and I feel like I was ganked by Bain.
