This star is from the earth - #447 - Chapter 432: The Premiere Begins

[The script is the source of a movie. Without a script, no matter how large and professional a film production team is, it will lose its way. 】

【Writing a script is hard work. For any writer, the most basic thing is to be able to endure the boringness of writing only one word at a time. You can’t think about finishing the script at one time. It’s almost enough to write two or three pages a day. If you stick to it, there will be hundreds of pages. 】

[If you want to be a director, you have to write a script first and understand the structure and essence of the movie. Then constantly seek the advice of others and listen to your inner voice to polish it. If you don’t even have the patience to write a script, how can you be a director? 】

[A movie can originate from a meaningless detail, such as the feeling of a color, the memory of a look, the entangled nostalgia for a melody that lingers in your ears all day long. 】

[The reason why I wanted to write a story like “Time and Space Love Traveler” was because I had a question when I was chatting with my friends: how to confirm whether I really like someone? 】

[The final hypothesis we made is: if our life can be repeated with memories, we can avoid many traps in life, and we can avoid many detours, but the price of taking shortcuts is that we will miss that person, and this Sometimes, if we are still willing to meet that person at the same time and at the same place, then I think this is true love. 】

[Want to know my choice? Go to the movies, I put my choice in the movie. 】

【…】

In the first “Director’s Notes” series of videos, Han Jue talked about his understanding of movies and scripts from the perspective of an experienced film and television practitioner.

In the video, Han Jue is always busy writing.

He sang on the plane, at the dining table, in front of the desk, and even before going on stage. He suddenly thought of a wonderful line. He immediately took out a paper and wrote it down. After writing, he looked at the paper with a satisfied smile and went on stage to sing. In the next scene, Han Jue came back after singing the song, picked up the piece of paper on which he had written his lines, frowned and looked more and more disgusted, “What the hell!”, crumpled it up a few times, threw it away, and started Think of new lines.

Xiao Zhou, who is holding the camera, sometimes asks Han Jue some difficult problems that are likely to be encountered in the process of writing the script during the writing interval of Han Jue. After the script is written, there are those that need attention.

Han Jue simply talked about how he solved it, which seemed to be very experienced.

Nowadays, most people recognize Han Jue’s talent in music, and imagine how Han Jue learned from the pain and settled down to study music production during the five years of silence and snow. But no one expected that during those five years, Han Jue seemed to have learned to write scripts and make movies in addition to studying music production.

Let’s not talk about the movie I made, but the posture is quite professional.

This made people who mocked Han Jue’s filming a few months ago for playing tickets and making money feel a slight pain in the face.

“It’s too fake, it’s too fake!” So some people suspected Han Jue, saying that this video was just for show, and the dialogues in the video were all memorized, “This is setting up people!”

History is always surprisingly similar. When Han Jue wrote a masterpiece of music, there were waves of doubts like this.

But now Han Jue also has fans and fans, and he smiled and advised the black Han Jue people not to talk too much, you must know that the Internet has memories.

Sure enough, he hesitated over there. Now that he hasn’t seen the final movie, all the belittling is a loft in the air and cannot stand. So they decided to wait until the premiere was over, and it wouldn’t be too late for the first batch of word-of-mouth to come out.

People on both sides are very confident.

Seeing that the Qixi Festival is coming, more and more people are focusing their attention on the 【Zhumen Film Festival】.

…

…

For native Chinese people, the scenery of Chang’an has its own uniqueness due to the addition of history, but there is nothing unusual about the strong Chinese atmosphere, but everything here is really strange for Han Jue.

A group of them got off the plane and took the bus to the hotel where they stayed. Han Jue just watched the scenery outside the window all the way, dizzying.

Han Jue came here with Xia Yuan, Pei Qing and Song Yin’s group of producers. Tomorrow is the premiere of the movie, and they only gathered in Shanghai at noon.

Han Jue has reached the final stage of recording in America, and he really can’t leave. Otherwise, Han Jue also wants to arrive in Chang’an earlier with Jarrence’s group, and then watch movies, eat, and visit the ancient city all day long.

There were no outsiders on the bus, and everyone chatted freely about the content of “Time and Space Traveler” and their expectations, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

In the entire production team, only Xia Yuan, Jalens, Pei Qing, and Han Jue have seen the final version of the finished film. Although the others have also read the script and understand the general plot, they have almost forgotten it by now. I deliberately didn’t watch it at the time, and reserved it for the premiere at the [Zhumen Film Festival] to watch it with the audience.

Pei Qing turned around from the front row and asked Han Jue, “Han Jue, what about Valentine’s Day?”

Pei Qing’s words sounded very ambiguous, making the people around him laugh out loud.

Han Jue looked out the window without turning back, “The cat is at the partner’s place in my studio.”

Pei Qing said with a smile: “I’m asking you how you plan to spend Qixi Festival.”

Han Jue rolled his eyes: “I’m not considered a single girl, what kind of Qixi Festival do I have?”

China’s Valentine’s Day is the Shangyuan Festival, the Shangyuan Festival when “the crowd searched for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place”. However, with the development of society so far, consumerism has the ability to redefine all festivals. Its ultimate purpose is only one – consumption, so that all modern festivals serve shopping.

Qixi Festival has been a festival for single girls since ancient times, and it is a serious “girls’ day”. However, because it has a legend about the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, it has a bit of romance, so under the marketing of merchants, Qixi Festival has gradually changed to Valentine’s Day. ——After all, the spending power between lovers is stronger.

Han Jue didn’t like all kinds of festivals in his previous life, and he didn’t like spending money on festivals. Because every festival, the streets are full of people when you go out, there is a long line for eating, and the seats for watching movies are very marginal. Didn’t feel the joy of the festival at all.

In his opinion, the biggest function of the festival is to give some cowards a reason to talk to or meet people who are usually afraid to find them.

“Now Qixi Festival doesn’t look like Girls’ Day anymore,” Xia Yuan, who was sitting next to Han Jue, turned to Han Jue and asked, “Our movie has become a thug of consumerism and alienation of traditional festivals, aren’t you angry?”

“Movies already have the attributes of commodities. Selling commodities and marketing commodities is the way to do it. There is nothing to be angry about.” Han Jue seemed indifferent: “Besides, it was agreed that I would only be in charge of the creative part of the movie. , The follow-up processing of the work is the job of you producers, and you will not interfere with each other.”

When Han Jue was creating, Xia Yuan really never interfered with him. Now that the filming and editing of the film are finished, Xia Yuan will really handle it. And if he handed over the film to Xia Yuan, he wouldn’t have the slightest worry.

Xia Yuan asked: “Have you given the ticket to your friend?”

“Yes,” Han Jue nodded, “all come.”

“Then at least there will be some starlight at the premiere.”

“Where are the film critics?”

“I found some, and others came uninvited.” Xia Yuan said.

Originally, the premiere of the film was to invite some film critics to watch it. Film critics are the weather vane for audiences to watch movies. A good film critic can sometimes save a movie. Xia Yuan and the others didn’t know any film critics, so even if they paid money, they would invite some less strict film critics to watch the film. But before Xia Yuan used up this part of the budget, some film critics, big and small, posted photos on Weibo, saying that they had bought tickets for “Time and Space Traveler”. Among them are some harsh and poisonous film critics.

Xia Yuan knew that someone spent money to punish them.

“Who is there?” Pei Qing asked.

Xia Yuan reported several names.

Pei Qing knew that one or two of them were film critics for well-known newspapers. People often described them as “very difficult to deal with”, so he didn’t know how they were persuaded this time.

However, Pei Qing was not too flustered: “Don’t be afraid, good works always speak for themselves, and it’s useless for them to bring rhythm.”

“Hey, the visitor is a guest, let’s be more hospitable.” Han Jue waved his hand.

After all, the movie has already been shot, and everything that can be understood or misunderstood is there. As a creator, Han Jue had gotten used to facing thousands of critical voices in his previous life. And some criticisms can indeed point out shortcomings, don’t take yourself too seriously and you can put your mind right.

“Tsk tsk tsk, hypocrisy,” Pei Qing tsk tsk shook his head, “Sure enough, people in the entertainment industry are the best at making friends.”

Song Yin next to him groaned, saying that he has a real temperament.

Xia Yuan asked, “Where’s your good friend who went to Qiong Province with you?”

As soon as this question came up, everyone in the car [呵呵~] booed, and they all knew who the good friend was referring to.

“She said she would come tomorrow.” Han Jue also laughed when he said this.

During the phone conversation last week, Zhang Yiman watched the trailer of “Time and Space Traveler”, and after hearing that “Time and Space Traveler” was scheduled to be released on Qixi Festival, she wisely guessed that this movie is a romance movie. This movie is probably the anniversary gift that Han Jue said, and it is also what Gu Fan hesitated to say on the phone.

After Zhang Yiman guessed it, she tried her best to hide that she didn’t see through the surprise. Whenever Han Jue wanted to talk about movies, she would forcefully change the topic “understanding”. This is not pretending to be self-inflicted, and Han Jue is also willing to cooperate with her, just telling her to remember to come on the day of the premiere, there are good things. Zhang Yiman on the other end of the phone responded with a suppressed smile.

After Han Jue and his group arrived at the hotel and joined Jalens and the others, it was almost evening.

Jalens ran over excitedly and invited everyone to listen to his acceptance speech. It can be seen that after a few days in [Zhumen], Jalens drew his sword and looked around in a daze, already quite swollen.

Since we have business tomorrow, everyone ate this dinner very restrained.

The next day, Han Jue got up early as usual, exercised in the hotel gym for a while, and then had breakfast in the restaurant with the friends who appeared one after another.

The dinner table was very lively, and everyone was as excited as the elementary school students before the spring outing.

The premiere is at 9:30 a.m.

At half past seven, the group set off in a mighty way.

The main creator takes one, and the producer takes one.

…

…

From seven o’clock in the morning, the security guards at Cinema No. 7 had already arrived, and there were a large number of spectators outside the gate waiting to enter.

The premiere of “Time and Space Traveler” has been long-awaited by many people. It is the number one traffic of “Zhumen” this year. “Zhumen” has also given the greatest attention to it. It has arranged the red carpet and sent a special host. people.

At 8:40, the vehicles loaded with the crew of “Time and Space Traveler” arrived at the entrance of the theater one after another, attracting cheers from the audience.

“Han Jue and the others are here now!” Xiaochi grabbed a good position early and pointed the camera at the door of the car. And Qianqian and Xiaoxia focused on calling Han Jue’s name beside them.

Han Jue was the first to come out, and the audience was in a commotion at the beginning, and the reporter’s camera shutter kept pressing.

There are Asians in the audience, as well as Europeans and Americans. When Han Jue came out, Chinese and English with various accents were mixed together to welcome him.

Han Jue found Xiaochi and the others, went up to say hello, signed the signature board, and went in first.

Then Jack and the others appeared one by one. When the foreigners like Jack appeared, all the foreigners in the venue shouted their names together:

“Jack! Jack! Jack!”

“Jennifer! Jennifer! Jennifer!”

Jack and the others waved vigorously at their compatriots and fellow villagers, almost tearing up their eyes.

Afterwards, every main creator, whether Chinese or American, famous or unknown, good-looking or not, received a lot of applause and shouts when they came out.

After the main creator left, all the stars came to support.

There was Gu Fan, Zhang Zishang, Xiao Fan, and some celebrity friends invited by Xia Yuan and Song Yin.

After everyone signed their names and took pictures, they entered the theater.

Then the theater opened, and the audience came out with tickets.

After a while, the auditorium was full.

After the crowd is full, the film will not start immediately-when the main creative personnel stand on the stage, there must be a short interview first.

Han Jue was on the stage, and he had a panoramic view of the 600 people in the audience. He saw some film critics with serious expressions, he saw the people on the [Zhu Men] side, he also saw Gu Fan sitting in the second row waving to him, he saw Xiao Fan, he saw Zhang Zishang, he saw Xiao Chi , I also saw a lot of fans, including his and Zhang Yiman’s.

Han Jue even saw the four old fans of [W.I.N.5]. Han Jue smiled and waved to them, which still aroused their excited response.

But Han Jue didn’t see the person he most wanted to see today.

There was an empty seat next to Xia Yuan – her fans came, but she didn’t.

The host said: “Let us first ask Han Jue, the director of “Time and Space Traveler”, to say a few words.”

Immediately, Han Jue’s name rang out:

“Han Jue! Han Jue! Han Jue!”

Some of these audiences are fans of Han Jue, and some are fans of Han Jue. Some of them are not from Chang’an, and the reason why they traveled thousands of miles to Chang’an is to give support to Han Jue.

“Please stop shouting, I’m not used to it,” Han Jue put aside the thoughts in his head, suppressed his voice with gestures, and joked, “I’m not used to having more than 400 people shouting my name together.”

Everyone in the audience laughed.

Once the momentum dissipated, I really stopped shouting.

“Now that you are in the movie theater, I hope you will forget my image in the reality show and put aside my achievements in music, and just concentrate on watching this movie for more than two hours. Of course, after watching the movie After that, I still have to remember what should be remembered, and what should be picked up.”

Holding the microphone, Han Jue stood tall and upright next to several Americans, wearing a suit but not at all obtrusive. The people in the audience saw Han Jue’s appearance in suits too much, and even felt that those foreigners wore suits very discordantly, and they were fake foreigners.

“Other things related to the movie, we will discuss it after you finish watching the movie,” Han Jue didn’t wait for the host to ask any more questions, and introduced Jack who was standing next to him: “This is our male Actor, DeJack.”

After pushing Jack out, although Han Jue was smiling, his eyes kept looking for something off the stage.

Jack picked up the microphone and greeted everyone with a smile, speaking Chinese and English again.

Looking at the strange or playful eyes from the audience, Jack said: “Like everyone else, I have a doubt in my heart-why Director Han didn’t look for a Chinese or a star, but chose me, an unknown American, as the leading actor. Later, I took the risk of losing my job to ask Director Han, and Director Han told me that film and television dramas don’t need stars, what is important in film and television dramas is the role, character, and whether people can empathize.”

“I’m more open-minded, so I asked, there are so many good actors who are not stars, why are you still looking for me? Director Han is getting impatient, he said,” Jack paused, imitating Han Jue’s frowning expression and calm voice , said: “[Do I have to say that I chose you because of the fact that you are cheaper?]”

The audience laughed loudly. Because of Han Jue’s words, and because Jack imitated Han Jue so vividly, it was very skillful.

Then it was Jennifer’s turn to speak.

In the past, Jennifer spoke the most vigorously on such occasions. After nearly two years of sinking, she held the microphone and thanked Han Jue for a while: “I have been away from the screen for two years, and today I am standing here on the other side of the ocean. There are many things I want to say, but in the end I just want to thank Director Han…”

Han Jue patted her on the shoulder with a smile: “Save these words for later when you win the big prize.”

“Finally, let’s invite our producer to have a chat.” The host said.

Jalens patted the microphone twice with the palm of his hand [Puff], then put it next to his mouth, ready to say something.

The audience focused on the long-haired weirdo wearing sunglasses in the theater, and found that Jarrence hadn’t spoken for a long time.

The scene was quite quiet for a while.

Just when the host was about to answer the question in the Circus, Jalens said: “I have been standing here for five full years. When no one in the world believed that I could make a movie, only eleven Personally believe me. Xia Yuan, Song Yin, Pei Qing, Lee Seung Kyung… Han Jue. This is our movie, welcome everyone to watch our movie… hope you like it.”

It was just half past nine.

Amid the warm applause, Han Jue and the others got off the stage and sat down in the first row, waiting for the movie to be shown.

The movie was about to start, and the audience consciously turned their phones to silent, adjusted their sitting postures, and waited eagerly for the screen to light up.

After Han Jue sat down, he still didn’t give up searching for the target, and kept looking back. When he meets the eyes of fans, he will smile. But Xia Yuan knew that Han Jue was not as calm as he looked.

Xia Yuan squatted beside Han Jue and asked, “Did she send you a message?”

Han Jue shook his head: “I don’t know, I don’t have my phone with me.”

“Do you remember her number?” Xia Yuan asked, “Try with my phone.”

Han Jue remembered Zhang Yiman’s number. However, he used Xia Yuan’s mobile phone to send a text message, but there was no response.

Han Jue held the phone and took a deep breath.

However, Zhang Yiman did not appear until the lights in the auditorium were completely dimmed and the screen was turned on.

The logo of the Jarrens production company slowly lit up on the screen.

Jalens looked around triumphantly, but because he was wearing sunglasses, he couldn’t see anything clearly.

The feature film has already started, but Han Jue has no intention of watching it.

[Will you get lost? 】

[Still blocked by fans? 】

[Did something happen on the road? …]

Bad scenes flashed through Han Jue’s mind, and he couldn’t sit still.

When Han Jue was planning to ask for leave with Jarrence next to him, and left the table to find Zhang Yiman, suddenly, a gentle body bent and bumped into his arms.

Han Jue subconsciously wanted to throw the thing that appeared suddenly, but the second subconscious came first, and he hugged the person in his arms tightly to prevent her from slipping.

“Ha, ha, ha…” A panting voice sounded in his ear: “Uncle! I, I’m coming~”

“Huh~” Han Jue smelled the familiar smell, hugged the person in his arms tightly, raised his head, and exhaled a long breath.
