superstar director

Chapter 478
Ning Tong's unceremonious answer at the press conference naturally did not make those reporters really scared. Although no one continued to ask Ning Tong those questions in order to continue the interview, the various reports on the second day Among them, some media unceremoniously linked Ning Tong, "Hot Pot Heroes" and Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" for the sake of sales and attention.

When Zhang Yimou didn't take these ridiculous reports seriously, but when he remembered that Ning Tong rejected his movie audition and instead acted in a low-cost movie, Director Zhang still felt a little uncomfortable.

And other gossip crowds don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. Regardless of whether it's true or not, they just happily publicize it everywhere. They talk non-stop as a topic, which can be regarded as promoting the movie.

With the official start of the promotion of "Hot Pot Heroes", the promotional posters of "Hot Pot Heroes" have been posted all over the streets and alleys of major cities.Every theater that has signed a screening agreement is also covered with posters of "Hot Pot Heroes".Although the cost is small, the investment is small, and the promotional expenses will definitely not be too much, but after all, it is a movie with an investment of tens of millions, and there must be no less publicity.

As the release date is getting closer, in just two days, it is a normal life for everyone in the crew, especially Director Yang. If the box office hits the street, for a new director like him Speaking of him, that would be a catastrophe, and I am afraid that he will have to start all over again in the future, even worse than ordinary newcomers, many people will not invest in him again.

Similarly, the film released at the same time as "Hot Pot Heroes" is "Sewing Machine Band" directed by Dapeng.The two films are both comedies, but the former one tends to be darker, more like a drama, with black comedy content in the middle, which can be clearly felt from the few minutes of the trailer, and of course the local dialect in the film It will also make some viewers frown and stay away.

The latter one was born in a low-vulgar comedy studio. The actor and director's last movie "Pancake Man" directly sold for one billion yuan and became an instant hit, although he made several comedy movies after that. It's not ideal, but this time he took over "Pancake Man", wrote, directed and acted again, and this "Sewing Machine Band" is not only a comedy, but also a multifaceted expression of ideals, friendship, and love. It can be seen that Directors have big ambitions.The production cost is also close to 8000 million.Nearly half more than "Hot Pot Heroes".

Therefore, when promoting, "Sewing Machine Band" is more powerful than "Hot Pot Heroes", and it is more willing to spend money!

Even the TV station has made several special programs, and the greenhouse has personally promoted it with a group of star actors.

And this time, the greenhouse is also like "Pancake Man". Through his personal relationship, he invited many big stars to guest-star as assistants, such as some domestic rock stars, and some friends in the entertainment industry, which made their attention even greater. High, on the web, searches for the term Sewing Machine Band have reached a frightening number.

On August 8th, early in the morning, many cities became lively later than usual. Because it was Sunday, everyone could sleep in after a long absence, then get up to go shopping and play around, and at night, there were various movies. Available options, and tonight at 7 o'clock, "Hot Pot Heroes" will also be officially released in nearly two thousand theaters across the country!Waiting for the inspection of fans and friends!
Early this morning, Ning Tong and other movie actors called on their Weibo fans to go to the cinema to support their movie!

And just an hour later, the major magazines received an urgent notice from the "Sewing Machine Band" crew.Royal Grand Hotel, "Sewing Machine Band" press conference!

"Actually...a press conference was held at the Royal Hotel!" The reporter who received the notice almost frightened off the phone, "This specification..."Hot Pot Heroes" is simply incomparable..."

The tide of reporters generally rushed to this place where the rich and powerful usually gather.

In the majestic hall, Dapeng, Qiao Shan, Nazha, Li Hongqi, Han Tongsheng, Qu Junxi and other leading actors, as well as Yu Qian, Yue Yunpeng, and some rock veterans cheered on the spot. Looking at the row of stars from all walks of life, Obviously, it is much more pompous than "Hot Pot Heroes".

"The Sewing Machine Band will hold its first national premiere at the Wanda Cinema in Kyoto on August [-]th at [-]:[-] pm!"

The voice from the Royal Hotel attracted the attention of the film and television circles and music circles.

Although Director Yang of "Hot Pot Heroes" has no grievances with the booth of "Sewing Machine Band", since the schedules collided and the media continued to fan the flames, whether it was for hype or promotion, or to make their movie box office better, It is a foregone conclusion that the two films will be pushed into the arena and thundered.

Although "Hot Pot Hero" was released three days earlier than "Sewing Machine Band", everyone is actually more optimistic about the box office, not only his previous one-billion-dollar "Pancake Man", but also because of the two films. The type of content, as well as the number of stars, let’s see how many stars there are in "Hot Pot Heroes". The one-billion-dollar box office is guaranteed, and there are a bunch of stars to attract the audience, and the movies in the big studio are absolute comedies, which are more popular than the darker-dark style and more realistic dramas like "Hot Pot Heroes".

But at this moment, the people in "Hot Pot Heroes" can't care about others. In the evening, it's eight o'clock sharp.

The lights of countless big screens in two thousand theaters across the country were dimmed.Movie fans, no matter what purpose they had, calmed down and watched the big screen that lit up quietly.

And the theaters in some big cities will naturally not lack those professional film critics, or an authority, editors of major magazines, and famous celebrities, who point to these movies for dinner.

"Long——" After the previous subtitles passed, the screen was in the dark on one side, and the sound of cars on the road came, and then a radio broadcast sounded "At five o'clock in the afternoon——it started to rain— —".

With the sound of the broadcast and the sound of the car, the big screen gradually became brighter, and then with more light, everyone saw that it turned out that a van drove out of the tunnel.

Then there was a muffled thunder, and the camera shot down from above the city, and saw the mountain city in the rain, and the van that appeared at the beginning, was moving forward, but suddenly the camera turned and came to the front of the van , a man wearing a face mask sat in the co-pilot's seat and stared out the window in a daze, and there were several men wearing other masks in the car. Let the hearts of the audience lift up!

"It's a good start, just a small climax to attract everyone's attention." An editor-in-chief said in a low voice, "However, it's a small skill after all, and it has been used badly by others, so we still have to see what happens next." .”

"Having a good start at the beginning can make the audience more confident to watch. Don't worry, watch slowly, and hope that there will be more surprises." The people next to him were relatively calm.

"Yeah, although the director is young, the "Nightclub" a few years ago was still good at the time, I hope this time he can do a good job, otherwise how can we write reviews, keep cursing, and the audience will It's annoying."

The movie is going on on the big screen. Many people don’t like the heavy rain because it is too wet and not conducive to travel. However, for some villains with evil intentions, such weather is often more suitable for action.

When the gun appeared in the van on the big screen, there was no doubt in everyone's mind that these people were definitely bad guys, especially when their car was parked not far from a bank.

Although the car did not stop directly at the gate of the bank, through the lens of the movie, the gaze of those people on the bank easily connected the two.

Then four masked villains swaggered into the bank and started their robbery.

Then an obvious ironic scene appeared in the movie. Under the surveillance cameras one after another, the actions of those bad guys are clearly visible, but the security guards in charge of the surveillance turned their backs to the surveillance screen, plugged in their headphones, and played a game of Match [-].

In this shot, the director showed the actions of the robbers through these surveillance shots, and then accompanied by the background music of the game of Xiao Xiao Le, which made everyone feel more deeply. This kind of person who fills up the key positions and neglects his duties is really impressive. Hate!

Now which ordinary people's money is not stored in the bank, so most of the time, everyone has a natural hostile relationship with bank robbers, and the dereliction of duty of the security guards makes everyone feel like they are behind them.

Of course, everyone is well aware of the irony of the realistic meaning of this shot!

And as the security guards were directly hit from behind by the robbers, many movie fans even felt a kind of joy in their hearts. It seems that it is also a good choice for these robbers to teach these idiot security guards a lesson!

Then, after the security guard in the monitoring room was pulled out, the background music changed, and the heavy music atmosphere, amidst the yelling and cursing of the robbers and the screaming of the bank staff, finally the dangerous atmosphere burst directly!

When the bank was in chaos, the camera turned around and it was still raining heavily outside. The driver who was driving for the robbers was sitting alone in the car, feeling uneasy with the urgent background music. There was the sound of a police car, through the blurred rear mirror, the red and blue colors of the police lights were constantly changing, and the driver suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

While staring at the rear mirror, he reached out to grab the walkie-talkie, wanting to report to the robber inside, but because of nervousness, he dropped the walkie-talkie under the seat next to him. The driver went to buy it vigorously, but he didn't find it. Came to his car door, knocking on the door.

The sound of "Wait, wait..." sounded like a knock on the driver's heart. At this time, the camera turned again and came to the bank. The robber was asking the bank staff to open the money bank, and the bank staff delayed for some time because of fear.

The picture changed again, and the traffic police outside looked at the driver's ID and told him, "You can't stop here, drive away!"

Everyone was as relieved as the driver at this moment, thinking that this dangerous moment had passed, but at this moment, the walkie-talkie that the driver left behind rang, "The money bank is a bit delayed, pay attention to the surrounding situation, If there is any abnormality, report it. If you receive it, please reply immediately!"

The audience who had just breathed a sigh of relief immediately became nervous again. The traffic policeman stopped and looked at the driver through the rearview mirror.

The voice from the walkie-talkie continued, "Is there something going on outside? Call me back, Fatty!"

The driver couldn't hold on anymore, he started the car and rushed up, knocked the traffic police aside, hit an electric tricycle, and fled in embarrassment.

The robbers opened the money bank, but the police had already arrived and surrounded them. It seemed that they had come to the end of many movies all at once. However, when a robber wearing a monkey mask heard that there was something else in the money bank, The sound went in to check, and when they saw a hole in the ground, the subtitles appeared again, and then everyone realized that it seemed that the movie had just started here.

But through the camera of the burrow, it turned out to be a hot pot restaurant, a hot pot restaurant opened by Chen Kun and Yu Entai.The plot of the movie only starts from the beginning here!

The tense atmosphere just now due to the confrontation between the police and the robbers disappeared in an instant.
-
Because there was no premiere for the movie, Ning Tong was busy with the crew to promote it, and had no time to go to the cinema to watch her new movie. However, Shishi and Yingbao sneaked into the movie theater, and their movie will also be held in the movie theater. It will be released one week later, so before the publicity begins, I will watch the new movie of my good sister Ning Tong first, and then I will give Ning Tong a first-hand view of the fans tomorrow.

And like Yingbao and Shishi, there are more than one or two celebrities who mixed into the crowd to watch movies. Those movie supporting actors who don’t need to participate in the publicity everywhere, and some people who want to see how strong their competitors are, are sitting quietly in the dark at the moment. Here, watch this movie patiently.

As the movie progresses, Chen Kun, Yu Entai, and another male No. [-] have all appeared, and then about the hot pot restaurant business, the conflicts and contradictions between the three people's different life developments, and Ning Tong. The relationship between the heroine and Chen Kun is complex and simple, very close to reality, just like the stories that happened around us, trivial but helpless, and all these ordinary and helpless lives, but as they opened up the bank's money bank And changed.

When the last three brothers survived the battle with the robbers with bruised noses and swollen faces, life returned to normal again, and the hot pot restaurant opened again, but the shareholders changed from three to four, and the trivial and helpless life continued. It's just that compared to before, there is a different kind of taste, that taste is called happiness!

This night, Ning Tong and the others returned to the hotel to rest after finishing the promotion, while Ning Tong was lying on the bed waiting for the feedback from her two little sisters after watching the movie. The release of a movie is a brand new test, because no one can guarantee that their own movie will be a success, even if it is Ning Cheng, except for him who believes in himself, no matter how good the other people say, they may not believe it [-]% in their hearts of.

Whether as an actor or a star, Ning Tong hopes that his work can be successful, even if it is an ordinary low-budget movie, not to mention the fact that the media has asked him to choose this movie instead of "The Great Wall" She even wants to use the film's good performance to respond harshly to those media!
