Chapter 863 The Audience Reaction Seems to Be Good?

Early the next morning, Zhang Zifang also rushed over to join in the show.

Everyone is from China, and this year the two crews from China came to Berlin to participate in the film festival. Naturally, it should be a good thing to support each other.

Her face is full of spring breeze, it seems that everything went well yesterday.

After sending her in, several domestic journalists who came to report on the Berlin Film Festival also arrived one after another. Everyone shook hands, took a group photo, and then sent her into the screening hall.

Next, with the arrival of the screening time, some heavyweight film critics have arrived one after another—in fact, it is reasonable to say that film critics earn their living by writing film and television reviews, so they are eligible to be officially invited by the Berlin Film Festival to participate in the exhibition , and it is also a film in the main competition unit, of course it is worth watching and also worth commenting.

But to be honest, people's energy is limited, and they often can't watch another one after watching one, so at this time, it is more critical whether they are familiar with people or not.

Li Qian's contacts in the European film circle are close to zero, but John Days has been in the European and American film circles these years. Although the main force is in Hollywood, and more of them are commercial productions, in the past ten years he In his 20-year filmmaking career, he has produced quite a few literary films, and he has traveled to Europe quite a few times, so in the European film circle, he has his own connections.

Now, he is a minority shareholder of the American Oriental Dream Film Company and serves as the general manager. To a certain extent, he can be regarded as working for Li Qian for the time being—of course, it can be understood as everyone starting a business together.

Li Qian has a film to compete for the Berlin Film Festival, although he has no hope for a Chinese film director in his twenties to win an award in Berlin, so it is difficult to say that he will give his best help , but he still tried his best to do things with little effort-this can be regarded as showing Li Qian part of his strength, his strength in the European film circle.

Therefore, there are really several important film critics here.

Many local reporters from Berlin, and several well-known newspapers in France, Italy, and the United Kingdom sent to the Berlin Film Festival, also shook hands with Li Qian and asked for autographs before entering the venue.

Well, in Europe at the moment, when the Berlin Film Festival officially announced the list of films selected for the main competition unit of this year's film festival, the focus of reports on the film "Red Sorghum" from all over Europe was very uniformly placed on " In their eyes, Li Qian entered the attention of Europeans as the lead singer of the band and won the love of Europeans. Now, making movies seems to have become his sideline.

Therefore, when they came to watch the movie, their interest in Li Qian, the legendary oriental superstar, obviously surpassed their interest in his movie "Red Sorghum".

"Singer stars have made movies just for fun, and they can all enter the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, which is already amazing!" ——This is probably what these film critics and reporters from various European countries are saying to Li Qian and Views of "Red Sorghum".

When it was almost time to start the screening, Li Qian turned around and walked in. Qin Jingjing was holding the unfinished brochure in her hand, and hurried to catch up, but she couldn't help but whispered: "It seems that the seats are not full?"

Li Qian turned to look at her and smiled, "Do you still want to be full?"

A Chinese film by a Chinese director, previously unknown in the European film circle, entered the main competition unit and participated in the exhibition, but basically did not do any decent publicity. The attendance rate is almost 80% or more, which is already very good.

On the one hand, Li Qian is a bit of a celebrity as the director, and on the other hand, John Dyce's network is relatively strong. Besides, at least it was shortlisted for the main competition unit, and there will still be many movie lovers who don't know the director at all and can't understand Chinese.

Li Qian and his fellow creators went to sit in the front row. When the time came, the headlights in the auditorium were turned off, and the audience on the seats stopped talking consciously.

Then, the big screen lit up.

The world's first public screening of "Red Sorghum" has officially begun.

In the screening hall, it was gradually quiet until there was no noise—everyone knew before coming that this was a Chinese movie, and there was no German or English dubbing, only English-Chinese subtitles specially matched for audiences in other countries around the world. But since I watched it, no matter what the reason is, I still have a little bit of expectation for this movie in my heart.

Although... this expectation may not be high in their hearts.

The movie started to show, and after watching it for about a minute or two, Li Qian lowered his head, thought for a while, turned his head and explained a few words to Fu Xuelong, then stood up with his waist bowed, and slipped out alone.

The first row is very convenient.

Qin Jingjing actually chased it out immediately, and asked, "Aren't you watching?"

Li Qian waved his hand, "I don't want to watch it! When I was editing the film, I watched it countless times! Go back and watch it, remember to pay attention to the reaction of the audience."

Qin Jingjing said "Oh" and stopped, but seeing Li Qian striding out, she couldn't help but quickly chased after her and asked, "Why are you going?"

Li Qian turned to look at her, "Buy a pack of cigarettes."

Qin Jingjing asked: "Don't you smoke cigars?"

"But I really want to take a sip right now. The cigar is in the hotel, and the pipe is also in the hotel!"

Qin Jingjing didn't give up and followed Li Qian to the entrance of the theater.

Li Qian stopped and looked at her, "Why come out with me, go back and watch a movie!"

Qin Jingjing hesitated a little, then raised her head and looked at Li Qian, and suddenly asked, "Are you... a little nervous too?"

Are you nervous?

This question really stopped Li Qian from asking.

Ordinarily, at this time, his film will be screened publicly for the first time. As a director, Li Qian should be sitting in the first row of the screening hall with some nervousness, anticipation and worry, relishing the reunion with other people. Look at your own work - you can't help but praise it when you see something you are proud of, and then subconsciously pay attention to the reactions of the surrounding audience and the audience in the back row. If the reaction is in line with expectations, the heart will be greatly boosted. If the reaction is a little flat and not in line with expectations, then it will inevitably be doubly disturbed!

Almost all directors will face such a step.

But hearing Qin Jingjing's question, Li Qian thought about it and shook his head. He really didn't feel any nervousness—maybe because he didn't attach as much importance to this film festival as others did.

So he smiled, "The film is already like that. It's fixed and can't be changed. Now it's just waiting for other people's judgment. Why are you nervous?"

Qin Jingjing was a little surprised.

Although she knew early on that even though she came to participate in the film festival, Li Qian actually didn't care about whether he won an award or not, but she had always thought that Li Qian was just pretending to be indifferent. Said, yes, I was a little taken aback.

He really didn't care!

After a few seconds, she asked, "Don't you really want to win an award?"

Li Qian shrugged, "Nonsense! Of course I want to! If my film is good, everyone thinks it is good, and the film festival will give me an award, of course I am happy! But if you want to win an award, it doesn't mean you have to win an award!"

Having said that, he waved his hand and said, "Go back! Don't worry, ah, your performance is definitely very good! Even if you don't get an award, there will be no shortage of filming in the future! Go back and go to the movies!"

While speaking, he turned his head and went out.

Qin Jingjing hesitated for a moment, and then gave up the idea of ​​accompanying Li Qian to the streets. Seeing him leave the movie theater, she turned back to the screening room—she really cared about it.

Far more concerned than Li Qian!

This is the first film produced by Minghu Culture that she has received since she joined Minghu Culture and obtained stable company protection and stable film invitations, and it is also the first cooperation with Li Qian.

Moreover, the days and nights of filming this film have already become the deepest memory in her heart - in her own opinion, this film is also the most exciting performance she has made since her debut!

Plus...it's the Berlin Film Festival!

How did Ming Xiaojing become popular, and now gradually become the No. 1 Tsing Yi in the domestic film industry that basically no one can challenge?

To put it bluntly, Qin Wei's "Red Light District" praised her!

The addition of the best actress at the Venice Film Festival made her immediately become a representative of the acting school among the younger generation of actresses—dissatisfied? You also go to get a winner of one of the three major European film festivals, and then talk!

In Venice in 1994, Ming Xiaojing, who had been hovering between the second and third lines, became famous in the first battle. Since then, as long as outstanding Chinese and actors are mentioned, her name Ming Xiaojing, no one will pass by! As long as a company has a big production plan, her name will definitely be among the top three candidates for the heroine!

This is the power of the three major European film festivals!

Of course, Qin Jingjing also knows that it is extremely difficult to win an award in Europe, so for "Red Sorghum", for Li Qian, and whether she can win an award, although she has expectations, she is not obsessed. Nian, what she is looking forward to at the moment is just to hope that the reputation of this movie will be better-she just hopes that the movie she starred in Li Qian's work for the first time, the hard work and hard work she put in at the beginning, can be exchanged for the response. Applause and recognition!

It only took two or three minutes to run out. When Qin Jingjing came back to the screening hall with her waist bent, the big screen was full of blood red—the bride Jiu'er in a red wedding dress was sitting in a rickety red sedan chair. Sobbing, with grievance and shame on his face.

The entire screen is really a bloody red color!

On the way back with her waist down, she inadvertently glanced at the auditorium, and just this one glance made her heart seem to miss a beat suddenly——

The red light on the big screen shone on the entire auditorium.

Every audience's face is red, like a face in a darkroom where photos are developed.

The lenses on the bridges of the noses of many viewers were reflecting red light.

In this red light, Qin Jingjing, who has good eyesight, can easily see the surprised expressions on the faces of many audience members, and some...surprises?

Or marvel?

Anyway, after a quick glance, she felt that those expressions must not be negative emotions such as disdain or contempt, but some good and positive meanings!

she sits down.

Fu Xuelong turned sideways to this side, and whispered: "I think everyone's reaction seems to be good! Brother Qian'er is right, they all seem to be surprised by this splash-ink style of color use!"

Qin Jingjing was overjoyed and looked up at the screen.

On the big screen, the sedan chair shook violently.

The people in the sedan chair couldn't help crying.

A group of shirtless, stout men were roaring and singing folk slang that the European audience in the auditorium would certainly not understand.

This scene is too familiar.

At the time of filming, she really cried—and to be honest, she was choked by the dust deliberately kicked up by those gangsters carrying the sedan chair!

Turning around quietly, twisting the body and looking again, the spectators two or three rows behind who were close enough to be seen were shaking their heads with blushing faces and full of wonder at the same time.

good sign!

Turning his head to look at Fu Xuelong, he was staring at the big screen while excitedly seeming to be breathing less evenly.

On this side of the body, the fist has been clenched tightly at some point.

It's a pity that Li Qian is not here at this time!

At this time, seeing the performance of these European audiences in the auditorium, wouldn't he be too excited?

You know, this is the beginning of the movie! This movie of his seems to have shocked the European audience's jaws from the very beginning, from the first story!

If he hadn't slipped out, he would definitely be very happy to see everyone's reaction at this time, right?

After all, this is his first literary film!

But thinking about it again, Qin Jingjing suddenly became a little discouraged - if he were here, he might be far calmer than he imagined!

Because...he really didn't seem to care much about what he got from coming to Berlin this time!

Thinking of this, Qin Jingjing couldn't help sighing.

At this moment, there was a sudden "Oh..." from the auditorium, Qin Jingjing subconsciously put away her thoughts, and looked up at the big screen—it turned out that the robbers had come out.

In retrospect, including when Li Qian asked her to watch the film after finishing the cut, she felt that her performance in this segment was not very good. But at this time, sitting in the big auditorium and watching it again, she suddenly discovered that the importance of her performance in this scene, or the degree of attracting the audience's attention, is actually very far behind. - first of all, the dramatic robbers and the dramatic resolution of this crisis, and then, the color!

No matter whether it is medium shot, close-up shot, close-up shot, or overhead shot, in all the shots, the green sorghum flutters with the wind, stretching as far as the eye can see. On the path in the middle of the sorghum field, the yellow is the land, and the shirtless man, the red, It is the bride's red wedding dress!

That splash-ink style, extremely eye-catching, extremely shocking big color!

***

To be honest, codewords are far more tiring than codewords themselves with the huge pressure you put on every day!

Let’s call for a ticket, don’t care if you give it or not, at least I can vent some pressure-the first thing I do when I wake up every morning is to look at the monthly ticket, even if it only increases by a hundred votes, I will feel that there are still people who support me If you recognize me, you will be more relieved, and the pressure in your heart will be a little less.

So, ask for a monthly pass!
