Chapter 403 Hot Publicity
After the lights came on, thunderous applause broke out in the venue.
Although everyone applauds every time there is a premiere of Jiang Heng's new film, it feels like a formality.
But deep down, most people think that the quality of the film is excellent and deserves this applause!
There is no other reason, the visual effects are too hard.
The prehistoric land, the demon clan heaven, and the fighting scenes are all novel, shocking, and can withstand scrutiny.
In terms of the plot, it is also full of twists and turns, smooth and easy to understand.
Not only did Chang'e "sacrifice to the sky" to enhance Hou Yi's strength, but also pointed out the way for Chang'e to be resurrected, giving everyone expectations.
This makes the audience look forward to the next work more and more. They want to see the plot after Chang'e is resurrected and how she gets to Guanghan Palace.
They also want to know how exciting it will be after the witch and the demon go to war.
In short, the visual feast is inevitable.
For a time, many guests and audiences in the venue felt a little bit of anticipation and excitement.
The host invited Jiang Heng to the stage and asked him to talk to everyone about his thoughts.
Jiang Heng then talked about the spirit of resistance represented by "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun". The style must be there.
Then it was time for the audience to ask questions. Because the movie took too long, I only answered three questions.
The first one was asked by a female audience. It turned out that Chang'e was so beautiful in the film that it was beyond words, but she was useless and was just a beautiful vase.
Is there any suspicion of discrimination in Director Jiang's setting like this?
To be honest, Jiang Heng was a little confused when he heard this question. Is this okay?
He hurriedly said of course not, it was mainly to highlight her beauty.
After all, Chang'e is very likely the most beautiful female character in Chinese mythology.
The description of Nuwa in "The Romance of the Gods" is nothing more than "like a fairy from the Rui Palace coming to the world, and Chang'e from the Moon Palace coming to the world". It is said that Nuwa is as beautiful as Chang'e, which shows her beauty.
If Chang'e is given more force, it will reduce the audience's impression of her "beauty".
The audience was very satisfied after listening.
The guests and audiences present also felt that Chang'e in the movie was so beautiful that it was beyond words.
As for Yan Chen, who played Chang'e, it seemed that there was a big gap between her image on the screen and her performance was not even one-tenth of the character!
Another boy wearing glasses asked, "The story and picture quality of the film are very good. Does Director Jiang have any plans to develop it into a "3A" game?"
Jiang Heng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Of course, the carrier of cultural promotion is not only movies, but also games. In addition to the "Honghuang series", "Journey to the West" is also preparing to develop "3A" games!"
The boy was excited when he heard it, and asked how many years it would be online?
"Three years, there will definitely be one online within three years!"
Many male game fans in the venue were excited and a little skeptical.
After all, many "3A" games abroad take a long time to develop, but thinking about the promises that Director Jiang has made over the years, these people still choose to believe it.
The last question was when the audience would film "Journey to the West" again. He said that "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" was very good and he liked it very much, but he hadn't seen a "Journey to the West" movie for a long time. He preferred Monkey King to kill people on the screen.
When this was said, many audience members cheered.
Jiang Heng smiled and replied that he would consider it. There would definitely be a "Journey to the West" movie in one or two years.
At this point, the audience's questions ended, and all the links of the premiere ceremony of "Hong Huang: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" were also over.
Later, the film distributor prepared a reception dinner for the guests. Because it was late and far away from the capital, all the guests attended.
The scene was full of toasts and it was very lively.
Some film critics were thinking about the content of the film while eating, and thinking about which angle to explain the film from.
After all, the angle of writing must be novel and well-founded to expand their influence!
Back to the hotel, some wrote about the bloody sacrificial culture from Hou Yi's sacrifice to the sky.
Some people associate the struggle between the imperial court and local tyrants with the fact that the Emperor of Heaven appointed the gods of mountains and water.
Of course, most people honestly talked about the plot, special effects, and fighting scenes, and praised the film a little.
As for the major entertainment media, they praised the film from various angles and said how good it was.
As a result, the audience is looking forward to the film more and more. Some of them calculated the time and wanted to watch it immediately on the day of the film's release.
Some people went to find the preview promotion information of "Honghuang: Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" and prepared to grab a preview ticket online to see it first.
The crew also divided the cast and crew into three teams and went to several important ticket-suppressing cities in China to start the preview promotion activities.
As for the director of the film, Jiang Heng, he has already arrived in Tokyo by plane and started the promotion here first.
"Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" is a Chinese mythological story. Such films are still relatively popular in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, so the promotion here must be strengthened.
The film is somewhat tragic, which makes it easier for Japanese audiences to like it, so the first stop for overseas promotion was Japan.
After attending the premiere promotion in Tokyo, Jiang Heng immediately flew to South Korea, then Los Angeles, and then flew to the UK.
It can be said that Jiang Heng's promotional activities were still very powerful before the film was released.
In the mainland, it was the 15th day of July.
Wang Changtian called Li Delai to his office and said, "Want to go out for a walk?"
The latter smiled, "Why, do you want to go to the cinema in person?"
Wang Changtian said: "The box office performance is likely to break the record. I just want to go to the scene to see how popular it is!"
During the premiere, Wang Changtian was shocked again.
Why say again? It's because he has been shocked many times before.
However, Jiang Heng's special effects are too outstanding. Even if there is some aesthetic fatigue, it is still exciting in that viewing environment.
Wang Changtian just wants to motivate himself to make such a film someday.
It is highly unlikely that what he said is possible, because he can't find a suitable director.
But people always have some thoughts.
Wang Changtian and Li Delai took a crew to the Wukesong store of China Film Red Cinema Line. There was indeed a long queue at the entrance of the cinema, all of whom were young people who came to watch the movie.
Reporters went down to interview, while Wang Changtian and Li Delai looked from afar.
"Director Jiang dominates the Chinese-language film market. In a short period of time, no one should be able to break it!" Wang Changtian sighed.
Li Delai said, "Don't even think about it. If you ask me, we should find another way and try another genre!"
"What genre do you think is good?"
"Comedy, like Lost in Thailand, with such a low cost and a box office of over 1 billion, a small investment to win big.
If you learn from Director Jiang to make blockbusters, you will probably lose money!"
Wang Changtian nodded, with a somewhat worried expression, "The problem is, there is no suitable director!"
Li Delai smiled, "I contacted Guangtou Xu, he is very interested in our company's preferential policies!"
