Chapter 627
"Now, I still need to confirm when the production of "Life Boxing" will be completed."

From Hantang Film and Television, Yang Yu, who was in charge of publishing, pointed at Ning Sheng.

Today, Yang Yuhe, who is in charge of the release of "Life Boxing", was approached, and the three of them held a small meeting to determine the release date of "Life Boxing".

As early as the end of July, "Life Boxing" was finished, but because Ning Sheng had to spend the summer vacation with his family, he disappeared for a month. Finally, now that the summer vacation is over, he is back!Then it's post-production.

But one more thing before that is to determine the schedule first.In this way, the publicity work can be carried out simultaneously in the later stage.In this way, when it is released, the publicity work will be almost done, and enough viewers will be able to know the exact release date of the movie.so that they can get to the theater in time to watch the movie.

Because this is Ning Sheng's first movie that is clearly aimed at winning awards and doesn't even care about the box office, so as one of the investors and also the distributor, Hantang Film and Television also wants to make the movie's box office as good as possible, so it can only do it at the box office. Try to think of a way to release publicity!

Ning Cheng thought about it and gave the answer. "It will definitely be completed before the beginning of October and pass the review."

"Life Boxing" does not have a lot of post-production special effects like "A Chinese Ghost Story", so its post-production work is just some routine soundtrack editing and other matters, so the production will be very fast.

After getting Ning Cheng's answer, Yang Yuhe nodded.Said, "Then our schedule will be very generous, and we can release it before the Lunar New Year file. It can also be released on the Lunar New Year file. However, I personally prefer to release it on the Lunar New Year file. Although the competition was fierce at that time, Ning Sheng and Chen Dao The appeal of the famous teacher, coupled with the larger base of movie viewings during the schedule, the box office revenue should be higher." After speaking, he looked at Mr. Liu of Lotte Film and Television, and then at Ning Sheng, "What do you think? "

Mr. Liu pursed his lips lightly and thought about it, but didn't say anything, and looked at Ning Cheng, he always listened to what Ning Cheng said.

Ning Cheng thought for a long time after hearing Yang Yu's suggestion, and shook his head, "I think it's better to release it before the New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve is always a time when commercial blockbusters gather, and "Life Boxing" is not very commercially prominent. , or don’t squeeze in to seek death.”

"It was chosen to be released before the New Year's Eve, and there are no competitors. If the word of mouth is good, the screening time can be extended so that more people can see it, which is also very beneficial to the box office! Let's go." This was Ning Sheng's supplementary answer.

"Okay, then it will be at the end of October, just in time to touch the edge of the New Year stalls!"

As Yang Yu said, he opened the document in his hand, "Let's see who our opponents will be."

"Well, it's exactly as Director Ning said." Yang Yu sighed softly, and said, "In this schedule, there is no film that can compete with us. Therefore, as long as our film has a good reputation, there is still hope for the box office. of!"

After the date was confirmed, there was a special person in charge of the release, and Ning Sheng started to plunge into the editing room to start the post-production work!

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of September, and the weather in the imperial capital has begun to turn from the heat of midsummer to the coolness of autumn!

The weather without smog always makes people feel very comfortable. Editing, soundtrack, recording and other post-production work has basically been completed. Ning Sheng feels a lot more relaxed when he walks out of the studio. Today, he doesn't need to go to school to pick up Xinxin. Resting at home, she will pick her up.

He didn't want to drive today, so he put on a hat, lowered the brim, and walked forward casually!Walking up two steps, it was the bus platform. Ning Sheng glanced at it and saw the crowd waiting for the bus. The three girls were taking selfies while waiting for the bus.Behind the three of them, on the bulletin board at the bus stop, was a poster of a woman wearing a fist and looking up to the sky. The background was a boxing ring with flashing lights, and a line of big words was written on it: Life Boxing.

There are several bigger red letters below: Chen Daoming, starring Wang Xiaochen, directed by Ning Sheng.

There is also a line of slightly smaller words in the lower right corner: National release on October 10.

The efficiency of the distribution department of Hantang Film and Television is still very high. After the funds are in place, the pre-promotion immediately started. Recently, he was walking on the street and sitting in a taxi, and he has seen many bus stops and building walls hanging " Life Boxing poster.As for the publicity strategy, he adopted the method of mainly promoting "Chen Daoming + Ning Sheng".

After all, the entire crew of "Life Boxing" is really the two of them's biggest cards. The heroine Wang Xiaochen is far behind, but the focus of this drama is the heroine, so Wang Xiaochen's name still has to be added!

In the lounge of Wanda International Cinemas, there was a lot of voices, with people walking around and shouting in harmony.During the walk, Ning Cheng greeted people from time to time, and finally went to sit next to Wang Xiaochen, looked at her attire, and praised her, "You look beautiful today."

Her hair was not tied up, it was loose on her shoulders, smooth and silky, and she was wearing a blue evening dress, which fully showed her beautiful figure. After the filming, after months of rest and recovery, Her figure is better, and her face is full of confidence.

This actress whose exposure has been greatly increased because of her role in Ning Sheng's "Life Boxing" has been getting film appointments recently. Although many media are not optimistic that Ning Sheng can win awards with this film, but for Ning Sheng, she is admiring and praising people. Everyone has no doubts about his ability, so Wang Xiaochen is really popular now, the film appointment is made, and life is beautiful!
Especially if Ning Sheng's "Life Boxing" is successful, then her heroine will undoubtedly become popular and directly enter the ranks of first-line actresses, so although Wang Xiaochen is very confident in this meeting, she still bears it in her heart. I can't help being a little nervous!
Ning Cheng has been with her for a few months, so he can tell it, so come here to appease her!

Now is November 11th, the day of the national premiere of "Life Boxing".

Originally, the distributor wanted to hold an early premiere a week in advance, and separate the premiere from the public screening, so as to create momentum and publicity, but time was tight, so he finally gave up on this plan and directly broadcasted the show across the country. The premiere ceremony was held on the day of the release, and the venue was chosen to be Wanda International Cinema in the imperial capital.

After more than a month of intensive bombardment of throwing money, the news of the release of "Life Boxing" is almost gone.During this period.Ning Sheng, Chen Daoming, and Wang Xiaochen also cooperated with the publicity work, and appeared on several programs such as "Ace Vs Ace" to promote movie information, not to mention other ground-based hard broadcasts, basically doing everything that should be done.

And today.It is the day of reaping the results.

Is there hope for him to hit the awards, what effect will Chen Daoming's big-screen work have, whether Wang Xiaochen's acting skills will be recognized by the audience-all of these will be decided today.

"Director, you are handsome today." Wang Xiaochen praised him, "By the way, why didn't you bring Xinxin here? Didn't Xinxin say that she would watch our movie with you last time?"

Ning Cheng said with a smile, "She is still too young. There are too many reporters here. When she grows up, she can decide whether she wants to appear in the reporters' camera or not. After all, her own life should be decided by herself." !"

The two were chatting happily here, and a man walked in, wearing a simple black suit, short hairstyle, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. At first glance, he looked like a university professor, but his aura was stronger than that of a professor. The professors are much stronger, it is Chen Daoming, the hero of the movie!
"Why are you all hiding here, the premiere is about to start."

The two of Ning Cheng got up and said, "Let's go in together!" The three left the waiting room and began to enter the arena.

Now they are sitting in the first row, the director Ning Cheng is sitting in the middle, Wang Xiaochen is on the right, and Chen Daoming is on the left. As for Ning Tong and others who came to cheer on the platform, they are sitting in the second row.

After sitting down for a while, the media and the audience began to enter the venue one after another. Two hosts, a man and a woman, came on stage, and the premiere ceremony officially began.

After the two hosts had a big talk, they began to invite the main creative personnel to come on stage, producers, directors, leading actors, supporting actors - all stood in a row.After standing up, Ning Cheng glanced down.

There were [-] seats in Hall No. [-] on the scene, and there were no empty seats at the moment. At a glance, it was full of people's heads, and it was overwhelming.

That's right, even if the media doesn't like it any more, with the names of Ning Sheng and Chen Daoming, there are quite a few fans who are willing to come and join us!

The guns and cannons of the media from all over the country were also piled up under the stage, proving Ning Sheng's status in the Chinese film industry today - even if they are not optimistic, these media should see for themselves what is going on with this film.

With the cooperation of the host, the crew members spoke one after another, expressing how difficult the shooting process of this film was, how difficult it was for them to make this film, and how many difficulties and obstacles they overcame. Basically, all premieres will That set up.

The media asked a wave of questions as usual, but no one asked disappointing questions such as "Director Ning, do you think your film will fail?" After all, this was at his premiere, and everyone present was closed. Even if they think so in their hearts, they won't say it at the moment.

After the media asked questions and the premiere ceremony was over, all the staff stepped off the stage and returned to their seats.

With the opening animation of Xingtong Studio, the movie begins!

The shot begins with a match in the ring!Accompanied by Liu Peiqi's voice-over as a narration, the audience has a deep understanding of the profession of the actor played by Chen Daoming. This is an experienced boxing coach. Turn, the heroine appears.

This is a girl who loves boxing, and likes and trusts the male protagonist's coaching ability very much. She wants to practice boxing under the male protagonist's guidance, but the male protagonist is obviously not interested in coaching girls, and has repeatedly rejected the female protagonist's request. However, the heroine just doesn't give up, even if she doesn't understand anything and practices indiscriminately, she often comes to the actor's training hall to practice.

Then, the stories of the two people developed slowly under the progressive guidance of one trying not to give up, and one soft-hearted not wanting to see the other party damage his body because of ignorance——
This is an ultra-long film of nearly two hours, and it is not a commercial action film. The only boxing match is also edited and flashed quickly, but during these two hours, almost everyone in the screening hall There was no sound of talking, and there was no sign of getting up and going in and out frequently. Everyone watched the story on the big screen quietly, especially when the heroine was paralyzed. The hope of living was raised, and then because of the cold-blooded and ruthless family members, she fell into the abyss of despair again!

At the end of the film, when the hero kissed the heroine's forehead lightly and then pulled off the heroine's ventilator, all the audience were deeply shocked!

When the camera lengthened, the heroine was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed, leaving this world that was too cruel to her forever. The lonely back of the hero pushed open the door of the hospital and disappeared into the night. Only the shaking door The door, making a harsh sound, makes people feel like laughing at these sad and ridiculous things in the human world!

When the subtitles came up and the lights came back on, applause and cheers erupted in the theater!
"Your performance is wonderful." Offstage, Ning Cheng hugged Wang Xiaochen vigorously and praised.

For this "Life Boxing", Wang Xiaochen is the core content. The audience can see the helplessness and bitterness, struggle and pain, hope and despair of life from her!
And for Wang Xiaochen, an actor on the small screen, Ning Cheng is already very satisfied that it is his first time acting as a heroine on a big screen with such an outstanding performance!
"Thank you, director!" Wang Xiaochen hugged him back forcefully, his voice choked up.

Ning Cheng patted her on the back understandingly: From the beginning of this drama, the media was not optimistic. For Ning Sheng, he has long been used to it, but for Wang Xiaochen, although the exposure and popularity have increased, but after that, The pressure coming was also unprecedented, but fortunately she persevered, and now she finally received the applause and cheers she deserved!

After letting go of Wang Xiaochen, she hugged them one by one, Chen Daoming, Liu Peiqi, Ning Tong, Shishi, Yingbao——
